Form	Odds	Runs
14 1st (14) (4.5/1 -13%) Top Target	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(14) Top Target 4.5/1, Wide-margin winner on second start in points back in the spring and predictably knew what was required switched to bumpers when runner-up at Worcester in October. Attentions quickly switched to hurdles and he warrants plenty of respect.
12 2nd (12) (80/1 -220%) Solar Sovereign	80 80/1(-220%)	(12) Solar Sovereign 80/1, £33,000 5-y-o, Multiplex gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair chaser Princess Roxy. Off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt (March 2020).
1 3rd (1) (12/1 -33%) Curley Finger	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Curley Finger 12/1, Placed in a bumper for Gordon Elliott. Sound start over hurdles for new stable when third at Kelso in May and showed the benefit of that experience to open his account at Hexham less than a fortnight later. Respected on return under a penalty.
5 4th (5) (0.91/1 +9%) Goshhowposh	0.91 0.91/1(+9%)	(5) Goshhowposh 0.91/1, Malinas gelding who was sent off at huge odds (80/1) but showed plenty of ability when runner-up in 14-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) last month, really catching the eye by the finish. Open to improvement and looks sure to go close.
8 5th (8) (6/1 +25%) Howaya Now	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Howaya Now 6/1, Made the frame both completed starts in Irish points and made an encouraging start under Rules when runner-up at Ffos Las (20f, soft) last month. Fancied to take a step forward from that initial effort today.
11 6th (11) (14/1 -17%) Regarde	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Regarde 14/1, Kapgarde gelding who was prominent in the betting but looked one paced in a Wexford bumper for Colin Bowe in March 2021. Easy point winner since but failed to get home making his hurdling debut returning at Carlisle recently. Tongue tie now goes on.
6 7th (6) (40/1 +20%) Great Ballinboris	40 40/1(+20%)	(6) Great Ballinboris 40/1, Showed ability on only start in bumpers and much better effort over hurdles came when sixth on return at this course (19.7f, good) 3 weeks ago, looking more straightforward. Plenty more required today though.
10 8th (10) (80/1 +0%) Marty Time	80 80/1(+0%)	(10) Marty Time 80/1, Only modest form in bumpers for Tom Lacey but sold for only £5,000 and achieved nothing better on hurdling debut/first start for 13 months here (19.7f, good) 3 weeks ago.
9 9th (9) (300/1 -50%) Jimvale	300 300/1(-50%)	(9) Jimvale 300/1, Imperial Monarch gelding who was pulled up only start in points and, despite being well backed, shaped as if needing the experience when well held in a Sedgefield bumper. Offered no more sent hurdling recently so readily passed over.
2 \|F\| (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Free Handshake	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(2) Free Handshake 5.5/1, Well backed to land a Cartmel maiden back in June but checked out with alarming haste on his first outing for this yard at Market Rasen 7 weeks ago. (also tried to charge tape and got loose beforehand). Will need to keep his quirks in check to feature.
3 10th (3) (28/1 -75%) Benny Baloo	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Benny Baloo 28/1, Schiaparelli gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Betty Baloo, stays 2½m, and half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Milly Baloo. Dam (c115/h113) 19f/21f hurdle/chase winner. Off mark in points at third attempt (Mar 19).
7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 +0%) Hapy La Vie	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Hapy La Vie 40/1, Brave Mansonnien gelding. Half-brother to French chaser Mandulis. Dam jumps winner in France. Made frame both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Jan 29).
4 \|PU\| (4) (150/1 -50%) Glenavaddra	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Glenavaddra 150/1, Didn't offer a lot in an Irish bumper for P.Kiely in March 2021 but having been successful between the flags since, offered little on yard/hurdling debut Carlisle 5 weeks ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
13 \|PU\| (13) (300/1 -200%) Third Avenue	300 300/1(-200%)	(13) Third Avenue 300/1, Poor on Flat nowadays (stays 15f), possibly needed run on stable debut after 7 months off (previously trained by John McConnell) back in May. Cheekpieces left off today but makes minimal appeal on hurdling debut.

11:45 Aintree Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 17f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (2/1 -23%) Strong Leader	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) Strong Leader 2/1, Looked highly promising in bumpers and confirmed that impression when readily landing a novice at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Open to a good deal of improvement.
3 2nd (3) (1.75/1 +42%) Etalon	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(3) Etalon 1.75/1, Looked a bit quirky in a bumper on debut but made a positive impression when runner-up in a novice at Warwick on his first go over hurdles. Should do better, so likely to take a hand.
6 3rd (6) (18/1 -29%) Jaramillo	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Jaramillo 18/1, Useful but quirky sort on Flat for Roger Varian. Ran his best race over hurdles when second in a novice at Huntgindon last time but looks vulnerable to less-exposed types.
4 4th (4) (20/1 -11%) Gaelic Park	20 20/1(-11%)	(4) Gaelic Park 20/1, Well-bred point winner who went in again under a no-nonsense ride in a Warwick bumper in February. Took a step forward under a penalty next time, then shaped as if in need of the run when only sixth in a novice at Hexham on hurdling debut. Not completely dismissed.
7 5th (7) (5/1 +58%) Nollyador	5 5/1(+58%)	(7) Nollyador 5/1, Well-made gelding who was progressive in bumpers and looks capable of making an impact if tuned up for this hurdling bow after 9 months off.
8 6th (8) (7/1 -110%) Pleasant Man	7 7/1(-110%)	(8) Pleasant Man 7/1, Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Broke a blood vessel in the Adonis at Kempton on hurdling debut but has had breathing operation since, so could prove a different proposition.
5 7th (5) (125/1 +0%) Governor Green	125 125/1(+0%)	(5) Governor Green 125/1, Showed something in bumpers but down the field at a big price in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling bow. Looks more of a handicap type.
1 8th (1) (20/1 +20%) Our Marty	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) Our Marty 20/1, Placed on the first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers and opened his account at the first time of asking over hurdles in a novice at at Perth in September. Will find this tougher under a penalty.
9 9th (9) (50/1 -178%) Uncle Arthur	50 50/1(-178%)	(9) Uncle Arthur 50/1, Blue Bresil gelding who confirmed his debut promise when landing a 6-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in June. Strong in the betting but looked in need of experience when only ninth in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut. Hooded for the first time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

11:53 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (3.33/1 +17%) Top Of The Bill	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(10) Top Of The Bill 3.33/1, Placed all 4 starts in bumpers. Best effort over hurdles when length second in 2½m Sandown handicap on reappearance 4 weeks ago and he probably would have won if he hadn't flattened the last. His jumping is a slight worry but he has the ability to win off this sort of mark.
7 2nd (7) (12/1 -33%) Paricolor	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Paricolor 12/1, Nine wins from 29 NH runs, most recently at Bangor last December. Off 6 months, ran creditably back hurdling at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago and interesting with that outing under his belt.
8 3rd (8) (6/1 -9%) Raddon Top	6 6/1(-9%)	(8) Raddon Top 6/1, Multiple point winner who had a fine first campaign over hurdles last season, winning 3 Exeter handicaps. Went down only narrowly to an unexposed one on his reappearance there (23f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Should give another good account.
3 4th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Royal Pretender	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Royal Pretender 6.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler, winning his first 2 starts last season before holding his form well throughout the campaign. Creditable third back over hurdles at Lingfield (23f) last month. Another who can't be discounted.
11 5th (11) (7/1 -8%) Lanspark	7 7/1(-8%)	(11) Lanspark 7/1, Won over C&D and at Plumpton last winter. Solid return to action when second over C&D 15 days ago. On the shortlist.
2 6th (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Take Your Time	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Take Your Time 4.5/1, Looked very much on the up when winning this race 12 months ago. His progression came to abrupt halt when pulled up on his final 2 outings last season but there's still plenty of time for him to get his career back on track. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance.
9 7th (9) (22/1 -38%) Carlow Farmer	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Carlow Farmer 22/1, Won a 23f Uttoxeter maiden at the end of 2021. Wasn't on a going day when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Exeter in February on his final run for Charlie Longsdon but could bounce back for his capable new stable.
5 8th (5) (40/1 -233%) Cavallino	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Cavallino 40/1, Hurdle winner/fairly maiden chaser for Willie Mullins in Ireland. Pulled up in Punchestown handicap chase on final start over there in April. Blinkers off, first-time tongue strap on (has had wind op) now setting out for new yard. Betting perhaps the best guide.
12 9th (12) (33/1 +0%) Winds Of Fire	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Winds Of Fire 33/1, Won over fences at Newcastle in November 2021 but has lost his way since the turn of the year, including well beten over 19.5f here 15 days ago. Has plenty to prove at present.
4 \|F\| (4) (11/1 +31%) Grace A Vous Enki	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Grace A Vous Enki 11/1, Won twice over hurdles last term and respctable fourth in Newton Abbot handicap on reappearance. Ran no sort of race (distant fourth) back over fences at Ludlow since but may do better returned to hurdles. Blinkers off, cheekpieces back on.
1 10th (1) (10/1 +29%) Pats Fancy	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Pats Fancy 10/1, Developed into a very useful chaser last term, including 2 wins around 3m here. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 8 months off but he's of interest back hurdling from a lower mark.
6 11th (6) (25/1 -56%) Benny's Oscar	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Benny's Oscar 25/1, Point winner and made a successful transition to hurdling at Warwick back in February 2021. Similar form when runner-up at Newcastle 3 weeks later. Didn't get beyond the first switched to fences on Uttoxeter on his belated return 13 days ago so this effectively his first run for 20 months.

1 1st (1) (0.33/1 +25%) Authorised Speed	0.33 0.33/1(+25%)	(1) Authorised Speed 0.33/1, Very useful bumper winner who very easily landed 12-runner novice at Lingfield (19.5f, 4/5) on his hurdles bow 18 days ago. Highly promising and looks the one to beat.
6 2nd (6) (2.5/1 +17%) Immortal	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(6) Immortal 2.5/1, €115,000 3-y-o, Montmartre gelding. Dam, ran once on Flat, half-sister to winning hurdler/useful chaser (stays 3½m) Full Back. Yard has an excellent record in this event so he's of interest on debut.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 +13%) Godot	14 14/1(+13%)	(3) Godot 14/1, Fair bumper performer who came in third of 12 in novice (8/1) at Lingfield (16f, soft) on his hurdles bow 18 days ago. Needs to build on it now.
2 4th (2) (150/1 +0%) Arctic Lodge	150 150/1(+0%)	(2) Arctic Lodge 150/1, Runner-up on sole completed point start but has shown only modest form in two runs over hurdles. Faces a stiff task here.
8 5th (8) (80/1 +0%) Silver Atom	80 80/1(+0%)	(8) Silver Atom 80/1, 25/1, fifth of 6 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with lots to find on form.
4 6th (4) (66/1 +0%) Harvie Wallbanger	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Harvie Wallbanger 66/1, Irish point winner who has run to a fair level in 3 bumpers for current connections. Only eleventh of 13 in novice at Hereford (19.7f, soft, 14/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago though so plenty more is required.
7 7th (7) (33/1 +59%) Santos Blue	33 33/1(+59%)	(7) Santos Blue 33/1, Point winner who has shown fair form over hurdles for his current yard, fifth of 12 in novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 13 days ago. In good hands but a lot more is needed.
9 8th (9) (33/1 -106%) Star Flyer	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Star Flyer 33/1, Fair form shown when twice in the frame in bumpers, fourth of 7 at Newbury 30 days ago. No forlorn hope on his hurdles debut.
5 9th (5) (150/1 +0%) Horizon D'or	150 150/1(+0%)	(5) Horizon D'or 150/1, Runner-up second of 2 starts in Irish points but he has offered little in two starts over hurdles. Others appeal more.
10 \|PU\| (10) (28/1 -27%) William Of York	28 28/1(-27%)	(10) William Of York 28/1, Is being brought along steadily, seventh of 17 in 2m novice hurdle at Warwick 17 days ago. Likely to do better still.

12:13 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (4/1 +56%) Trac	4 4/1(+56%)	(7) Trac 4/1, Cashed in off much-reduced mark over hurdles over C&D in February but pulled up at Newcastle a month later and he never figured returned to chasing on seasonal bow at Newcastle last month.
2 2nd (2) (2/1 -23%) William Cody	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) William Cody 2/1, Maiden over hurdles but he confirmed promise of his chase debut second when opening his account at Huntingdon (19.8f) 25 days ago, delivered later and clearing away final 1f. May have more to offer now he's off the mark.
1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Fever Roque	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(1) Fever Roque 4.5/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last term and having displayed promise when third on return/chase debut at Ayr (20.5f) in October, he got no further than the second at Musselburgh 12 days ago. Remains the type to do better in this sphere.
5 4th (5) (7.5/1 +53%) Beat The Edge	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(5) Beat The Edge 7.5/1, Runner-up sole start in points but no great encouragement over hurdles in handful of starts last term. Shaped as if needing return/chase debut at Newcastle (23.4f) 16 days ago (pulled up) but this should at least reveal more.
8 5th (8) (22/1 -22%) Wildkatze	22 22/1(-22%)	(8) Wildkatze 22/1, Runner-up in a 19f chase at Market Rasen (19f) in February but well held both starts since, including back from 8 months off back at that venue in November. Others hold more pressing claims. Cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie.
6 6th (6) (9/1 -29%) Black Opium	9 9/1(-29%)	(6) Black Opium 9/1, Long-standing maiden who made more impact than previously from 4 lb out of the weights when runner-up back from 8 months off at Newcastle (23.4f) 16 days ago. However, her task now is to back that up.
3 7th (3) (11/1 +39%) Gibberwell	11 11/1(+39%)	(3) Gibberwell 11/1, Ex-Irish hurdler who landed a Wexford maiden in 2020. Steadily eased in weights without looking like taking advantage over hurdles earlier this year and switch to chasing needs to have positive effect back from 6 months off.
4 8th (4) (10/1 -33%) Broomfields Kan	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Broomfields Kan 10/1, Back to best for this yard when runner-up at Ayr (20.5f) in February and not disgraced on 2 of his next 3 starts. Ran poorly final start at Newcastle (20f) in April but he does return with yard amongst the winners. Cheekpieces left off.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Broadway Boy	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Broadway Boy 2.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who has made a sound start in filling runners-up spot both starts over hurdles to date, comfortably best of rest when runner-up to a potentially smart one at Lingfield (19.5f) 18 days ago. Very interesting making quick switch to handicaps upped to 3m.
4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -50%) Brandy McQueen	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(4) Brandy McQueen 4.5/1, 5-y-o who has improved for the step up to staying trips this term, twice successful at up to 3¼m during the spring. Solid efforts in defeat from inflated mark since, keeping on well to again fill runners-up spot at Kelso last month. Claims once more.
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +0%) Tyre Kicker	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Tyre Kicker 4/1, Proved a different proposition switched to handicaps/upped in trip to open his account at Punchestown (3m) in May, finding plenty to lead dying strides. Ran at least as well in defeat both starts since, third at aforementioned venue last month. Could well do better still.
6 4th (6) (2.25/1 +36%) Fenland Tiger	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(6) Fenland Tiger 2.25/1, Shaped like a stayer in bumpers/novice hurdles and he's duly improved for longer trips/switch to handicaps, showing a willing attitude to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle (23.7f) 16 days ago. Unlikely his progress has levelled out just yet.
2 5th (2) (8/1 -33%) Bonza Boy	8 8/1(-33%)	(2) Bonza Boy 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH Rules who despite still looking a bit raw, ran best race when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Hereford (21.7f) last month. This longer trip could feasibly bring about further progress.

5 5th (5) (1.25/1 +34%) Galudon	1.25 1.25/1(+34%)	(5) Galudon 1.25/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers. 12/1, encouraging fifth of 16 in novice here (19.4f, good to soft) on his hurdles bow 39 days ago. Worth considering now going up in distance.

4 1st (4) (6/1 -20%) Coquelicot	6 6/1(-20%)	(4) Coquelicot 6/1, Triple bumper winner who is still lightly raced over hurdles and resumed progress when making all unchallenged at Ascot a fortnight ago. Likely to go well again.
2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 -17%) West Balboa	1.75 1.75/1(-17%)	(2) West Balboa 1.75/1, Yeats mare who was second in a point before making an impressive winning hurdle debut at Warwick (21f) last November. Second in the Grade 1 Challow over C&D on her only subsequent start. Very interesting runner.
1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +31%) Whitehotchillifili	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(1) Whitehotchillifili 4.5/1, Useful hurdler who generally held her form last year and enjoyed her finest hour to date when landing a listed event over C&D in January 2021. Given a chance by the handicapper and well worthy of interest on return.
5 4th (5) (18/1 -13%) Terresita	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Terresita 18/1, Won 3 times at up to 3m last season. Failed to give her running at Ascot on return and, while she may strip fitter for that, the drop back in trip is unlikely to help.
9 5th (9) (11/1 +31%) Moonamacaroona	11 11/1(+31%)	(9) Moonamacaroona 11/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers. Yet to get her head in front over hurdles but far from discredited when second of 4 in a handicap at Ludlow when last seen 7 months ago. Tongue tied for her return.
8 6th (8) (4.5/1 +40%) Whisky Express	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(8) Whisky Express 4.5/1, Bumper debut winner who had plenty up her sleeve when scoring on her third start over hurdles at Newton Abbot back in March. Looked rather awkward at Exeter on return but made up some good late ground. Not dismissed.
7 7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Merry Poppins	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Merry Poppins 14/1, Fair form in Ireland and made a positive start for her current yard when second in a handicap hurdle at Bangor in October. Could do better still in a first-time tongue strap.
6 8th (6) (16/1 -100%) Plenty Of Time	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Plenty Of Time 16/1, Irish point winner who confirmed the encouragement of her hurdling debut when landing an 8-runner novice at Wincanton 10 months ago. Has left Harriet Brown and not been seen since, but she's open to improvement.
10 \|PU\| (10) (50/1 -25%) Brown Bullet	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Brown Bullet 50/1, Fair handicap hurdler who returned with a creditable effort when runner-up at Plumpton on reappearance. Failed to back it up at Fontwell since, though.

12 1st (12) (14/1 +44%) Sil Ver Klass	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Sil Ver Klass 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Listowel in September. 9/2, respectable sixth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Must improve.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 +9%) Magic Daze	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Magic Daze 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Punchestown in April. Second of 4 in minor event chase (2/7) at Clonmel (18.4f, heavy) 37 days ago, finishing tired.

9 6th (9) (33/1 +0%) Espion Du Chenet	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Espion Du Chenet 33/1, 6/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, soft) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.88/1 +16%) Imperial Storm	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(1) Imperial Storm 1.88/1, Perth bumper winner back in April 2021 and made a pleasing enough start over hurdles after 16 months off when second in 4-runner affair at Market Rasen in August. Progressed upped to 19.4f when third of 14 at Chepstow last month and may improve again now moving up to 3m for this handicap bow.
5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Learntalot	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(5) Learntalot 5.5/1, Showed fair form when in the frame all 3 starts over hurdles last season. Failed to progress when fifth on return here (19.7f) in November but in good hands and needs a second look now that he moves up in trip for this handicap debut.
7 3rd (7) (4/1 +38%) Court At Slip	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Court At Slip 4/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who produced a career best when off the mark in handicap hurdle at Newcastle in March. Encouraging return when fourth in a 2½m Hexham handicap recently and while his previous spins beyond that trip have proved fruitless, he shapes as though he'll stay 3m.
2 4th (2) (33/1 -175%) Juge Et Parti	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Juge Et Parti 33/1, Did well in handicap chases last season, winning twice over 3m. Below par fourth at Ayr when last seen in March (since undergone a wind op) but resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark and his record when fresh augurs well, so there's certainly cause for optimism.
6 5th (6) (3/1 +14%) You Some Boy	3 3/1(+14%)	(6) You Some Boy 3/1, Completed the hat-trick when landing a C&D novice handicap in January, making it 2-2 here in the process. Left low-key reappearance well behind when finding only a progressive type too strong at Kelso (pair clear of the rest) and his yard has saddled 2 of the 4 previous winners of this race.
3 \|B\| (3) (14/1 -17%) Happy Hollow	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Happy Hollow 14/1, Runner-up twice off higher marks than this during the first half of last season and while his recent reappearance effort over 2½m at Uttoxeter was rather underwhelming, this is more his trip. Clearly needs to bounce back but that's by no means impossible.
4 \|F\| (4) (11/1 -57%) Grand Du Nord	11 11/1(-57%)	(4) Grand Du Nord 11/1, Hexham bumper winner in April 2021 and bettered previous hurdles efforts following a wind op when going close in a 2½m novice at the same course in May. However, disappointing back there the following month and needs to get back on track now pitched into a handicap.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (1/1 +20%) Dixon Cove	1 1/1(+20%)	(5) Dixon Cove 1/1, Placed all 3 starts in France (including in Grade 3 company) and made short work of her 5 rivals when making a winning British debut at Hereford last month. Clearly a bright prospect for the Nicholls yard and she's probably the one they all to have to beat.
3 2nd (3) (10/1 +38%) Calico	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Calico 10/1, Has shown more than enough in half-a-dozen appearances in Irish juvenile/maiden hurdles to suggest that there are races to be won with her, not least when third in a 16-runner Punchestown event last time. Still, this demands a sizeable step forward and Old Victoria is presumably the stable No 1.
1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Isaline De Chandou	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(1) Isaline De Chandou 3.33/1, French raider who landed a fillies' juvenile event at Compiegne prior to finishing runner-up in listed/Grade 3 company. Eased in class here having struggled in a Grade 1 event last time and while she's not the easiest to assess in the context of this race and carries a penalty, she merits respect.
7 4th (7) (5/1 +58%) Obsessedwithyou	5 5/1(+58%)	(7) Obsessedwithyou 5/1, Given an enterprising ride by Gavin Sheehan when scoring in good style on debut in a 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Wetherby. That probably wasn't the strongest of races (fifth has won since but the third and fourth were beaten next time) and she has much more on her plate this time.
2 5th (2) (66/1 -164%) Arch Enemy	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Arch Enemy 66/1, Dual winner on the Flat and has show ability in this sphere, making the frame on 3 of her 4 hurdles starts, but she's almost certainly biting off more than she can chew in this company.
9 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Paddy's Fancy	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Paddy's Fancy 28/1, Modest on the Flat but switch to hurdles/fitting of cheekpieces did the trick at Leicester where she justified support in a 7-runner juvenile event. Probably capable of winning more races in this sphere but plenty more will be needed at this level.
10 7th (10) (80/1 -264%) Pepsiwithacap	80 80/1(-264%)	(10) Pepsiwithacap 80/1, Flat winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles in a Killarney maiden in August. Well held both subsequent starts in this sphere, though, and while she represents a yard that has landed this race twice in recent years, others make more appeal.
6 8th (6) (22/1 +0%) Dubai Clover	22 22/1(+0%)	(6) Dubai Clover 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and positive start over hurdles when fourth of 16 in a juvenile event at Punchestown recently. Improvement should be forthcoming but whether she will step up sufficiently to play a leading role in this contest remains to be seen.
8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 -157%) Old Victoria	18 18/1(-157%)	(8) Old Victoria 18/1, Looked promising when winning the second of her 2 starts in France and while she failed to fire on debut for Gordon Elliott at Down Royal, that run can be excused given that she was found to be distressed post race. Could turn out to be useful and she needs a second look.

4 1st (4) (10/1 -186%) Enzo D'airy	10 10/1(-186%)	(4) Enzo D'airy 10/1, Ex-French hurdler who scored twice around 2m over fences in 2020/21. Has a 21-month absence to overcome now however so others appeal more on this occasion.
1 2nd (1) (1.1/1 +41%) Dalamoi	1.1 1.1/1(+41%)	(1) Dalamoi 1.1/1, Real chasing type who created an excellent impression when going in at the first time of asking over fences in handicap at Kempton (20.5f) 26 days ago, jumping impeccably. Holds major claims despite taking an 8 lb rise.
3 3rd (3) (11/1 +0%) Not Available	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Not Available 11/1, Left Henry de Bromhead and began life for his current yard in fine form, winning back-to-back handicaps last November/December. However, he hasn't been at the same level since, including in 2 starts so far this autumn.
8 4th (8) (3/1 +50%) Hititi	3 3/1(+50%)	(8) Hititi 3/1, Ended last season over hurdles on a high, winning handicaps at Fontwell and Exeter. In the process of showing promise when unseated rider 4 out in handicap here on his debut over fences 15 days ago. Remains with potential.
2 5th (2) (33/1 -175%) Smackwater Jack	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Smackwater Jack 33/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who made an encouraging start over fences when second in handicap at Aintree (25f). Off course for over 2 years since though so has his fitness to prove.
9 6th (9) (18/1 +0%) Town Parks	18 18/1(+0%)	(9) Town Parks 18/1, Largely out of sorts last term and he came in a below-par fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f) on his return last month. Tumbling in the weights but veteran still needs to take a step forward.
7 7th (7) (7/1 +56%) All Dancer	7 7/1(+56%)	(7) All Dancer 7/1, Fairly useful ex-French 17f hurdles winner. Is a chaser on looks but raced too freely after a lay-off when only fifth of 6 over 2m here in October. May still do better.
6 8th (6) (25/1 -56%) Destin D'ajonc	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Destin D'ajonc 25/1, C&D winner in January but off since posting a below-par third of 5 in handicap at Exeter (19.2f) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

2 1st (2) (18/1 -64%) Dolphin Square	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Dolphin Square 18/1, Had a very productive 2021/22 season, winning handicap hurdles at Newbury and Cheltenham and 3 hunter chases. Likely to be competitive if ready to roll after his break.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 +33%) Call Me Lord	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Call Me Lord 4/1, First win since the 2019 International Hurdle at Cheltenham when seeing off stablemate Captain Morgs in 21f Kempton handicap on reappearance 26 days ago. His rise for that is more than offset by his jockey's claim but this trip is a maximum for him.
3 3rd (3) (20/1 -122%) Wilde About Oscar	20 20/1(-122%)	(3) Wilde About Oscar 20/1, Last season was a bit disappointing and no obvious sign that an upturn in his fortunes is imminent on his Aintree reappearance run in October.
5 4th (5) (2.75/1 +39%) Halo Des Obeaux	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(5) Halo Des Obeaux 2.75/1, Things didn't go to plan for this French recruit last season but he got his career back on track when ploughing through the mud to win a 2½m course handicap under Freddie Gingell on his reappearance 4 weeks ago. Could be more to come at 3m.
4 5th (4) (16/1 -14%) Copperhead	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Copperhead 16/1, Grade 2 novice chase winner in early-2020. His career has been rather disappointing since but there was strength behind him in the market when unseating in an Ascot chase on his reappearance, suggesting connections think he might be back in better form. Back hurdling now.
7 6th (7) (8/1 -33%) Sidi Ismael	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Sidi Ismael 8/1, Three-time winner over hurdles/fences last season and back to winning ways in 7-runner Worcester handicap hurdle (23f, heavy) in October. Creditable third in a more competitive race at Cheltenham since. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
11 7th (11) (25/1 -108%) Sirobbie	25 25/1(-108%)	(11) Sirobbie 25/1, Won a 25f Huntingdon handicap in May. Respectable fifth in competitive Summer Cup (chase) at Uttoxeter the following month (final start for David Bridgwater). Joined a good stable.Interesting runner.
6 8th (6) (50/1 -52%) Midnightreflection	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Midnightreflection 50/1, Landed pair of mares' handicaps at up to 25f in 2020/21 season but lightly raced since, pulling up on her Cartmel reappearance in May. Off another 6 months since. Has a bit to prove for now.
8 \|PU\| (8) (2.75/1 +27%) Bridge North	2.75 2.75/1(+27%)	(8) Bridge North 2.75/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner last season and creditable fifth in 3m Aintree Grade 1 final start. Shaped quite well in a 2½m handicap back at Aintree on his reappearance 6 weeks ago. Could have more to offer now returning to 3m for his in-form yard.
10 \|PU\| (10) (12/1 +14%) Nambiti	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Nambiti 12/1, Fairly useful over hurdles/fences in France. 15/2, in second when fell 3 out in Hereford handicap chase on reappearance for new stable last month, although it was too far out to predict where he would have finished. Back hurdling now.
9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 -83%) Scarpia	22 22/1(-83%)	(9) Scarpia 22/1, Career best when making all at Plumpton (25) at the end of January. Blotted his copybook by running out at Doncaster the following week and weakened to finish well held at Newbury final start. Subsequently had wind surgery. Returns with his stable in good form.

17 11th (17) (200/1 +0%) Gold Haven	200 200/1(+0%)	(17) Gold Haven 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, ninth of 23 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 6 days ago. Others appeal more.
18 12th (18) (200/1 -100%) Parkrunner	200 200/1(-100%)	(18) Parkrunner 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 10 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft, 50/1) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with more needed.
6 13th (6) (40/1 +60%) It's Never Simple	40 40/1(+60%)	(6) It's Never Simple 40/1, €42,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/unreliable but very smart chaser Third Intention, stayed 25f,. Wears hood. Worth a market check.
15 14th (15) (250/1 +0%) Vango Opera	250 250/1(+0%)	(15) Vango Opera 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 150/1) on NH debut 28 days ago.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (3.5/1 +56%) Burrows Diamond	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(4) Burrows Diamond 3.5/1, Off the mark over fences at Newcastle in January and followed up 3 weeks later at Uttoxeter. However, well held on final start of last season and he didn't show much on his reappearance this time round at Carlisle, even allowing for the fact that he faced a stiff task at the weights there.
6 2nd (6) (6/1 +20%) Shanty Alley	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Shanty Alley 6/1, Progressive over fences during 2020/21 campaign but offered little last season (pulled up all 3 starts) and needs to bounce back in a major way following an 8-month break (has underone wind surgery in the interim).
2 3rd (2) (5/1 -43%) Chirico Vallis	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Chirico Vallis 5/1, Landed a good pot at Chepstow last October before finishing third in the Classic Chase at Warwick and a Doncaster veterans' handicap. Pulled up with first-time cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) in the Scottish National on final start of last season but this is easier and he goes well fresh.
3 4th (3) (7/1 -75%) Indy Five	7 7/1(-75%)	(3) Indy Five 7/1, Dual winner last season, namely handicaps over 3m+ at Doncaster and Newbury. Showed the benefit of his reappearance run when fourth in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham 20 days ago and he's high on the shortlist off 1 lb lower here.
7 5th (7) (3/1 +33%) Grange Ranger	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Grange Ranger 3/1, Little to shout about in a handful of appearances last season but looked on good terms with himself when making a winning reappearance over this C&D 3 weeks ago. However, his overall profile is hardly compelling and now 4 lb higher in a stronger race.
1 6th (1) (5/1 -25%) Kalooki	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Kalooki 5/1, Resumed winning ways in a 3m Doncaster handicap over Christmas but has subsequently lost his way and now has a fair bit to prove.
5 7th (5) (14/1 +44%) The Vollan	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) The Vollan 14/1, In fine fettle back over fences this year, registering fourth victory of 2022 when landing a 4-runner Kelso handicap in October. Appears to have gone off the boil judged on his last 2 starts, though, and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (3/1 +60%) Noble Yeats	3 3/1(+60%)	(2) Noble Yeats 3/1, Very smart Irish chaser who landed the Grand National here in April. Got back on track with easy success in 4-runner listed chase at Wexford (23f) 33 days ago. Can't be discounted.
5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Dashel Drasher	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(5) Dashel Drasher 7.5/1, Tough and likeable chaser who resumed with a 2m4f win over hurdles here four weeks ago. Steps up in trip now and he shouldn't be underestimated.
4 3rd (4) (2.12/1 -30%) Ahoy Senor	2.12 2.12/1(-30%)	(4) Ahoy Senor 2.12/1, Enjoyed a fine first season over fences, emphatically landing Grade 1 Mildmay Novices' Chase over C&D on his final run. Came in last of five in Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on his return but he remains with plenty of potential and is well worth another chance.
6 4th (6) (6.5/1 -30%) Sounds Russian	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(6) Sounds Russian 6.5/1, Hasn't looked back since sent over fences, making it 4 wins from his last 5 runs in 3m2f handicap at Kelso on his return. Takes a step up in grade but this strong-travelling type is well in the mix.
3 5th (3) (9/1 -20%) Sam Brown	9 9/1(-20%)	(3) Sam Brown 9/1, Signed off last term with a career-best win over C&D. Returned with a good third to Bravemansgame in Charlie Hall at Wetherby so he's in the mix.
1 \|U\| (1) (5/1 +9%) Chantry House	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Chantry House 5/1, High-class chaser at his best but he signed off last term with a poor run in Cheltenham Gold Cup. C&D winner but he has something to prove on his return after a wind op.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (5/1 +44%) Farinet	5 5/1(+44%)	(7) Farinet 5/1, Ex-French chaser who scored readily at Sandown (20f) last season before failing to get home upped to 3m when fifth there next time. Poor show final start, however, and stamina a concern on return.
8 2nd (8) (4.5/1 +0%) Secret Reprieve	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(8) Secret Reprieve 4.5/1, Won the Welsh Grand National in 2020/21 season. Not seen again until finishing a well-held fifth in last year's renewal of that race and no show both starts since, though looked and shaped as if in need of the run on return.
12 3rd (12) (66/1 -100%) Grand Mogul	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Grand Mogul 66/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who made a successful debut over fences at Kelso on last season's return. However, has gone the wrong way since so starts the new campaign with something to prove (subsequently sold from Nicky Henderson £11,000 in May).
9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +47%) Southfield Harvest	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(9) Southfield Harvest 4.5/1, Very much a chasing type and he went in at the first time of asking in this sphere in 3m2f novice at Newton Abbot 18 months ago. Let down by jumping at Fontwell on belated return and this is even more competitive. Headgear on.
2 5th (2) (8.5/1 +6%) Caribean Boy	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(2) Caribean Boy 8.5/1, Grade 2 winner as a novice who regained winning thread at Kempton (3m) back in January. However, added to a fairly patchy record when pulled up at Ascot when last seen in February. Still, he's certainly no forlorn hope on pick of his form on seasonal bow.
1 6th (1) (14/1 -133%) Secret Investor	14 14/1(-133%)	(1) Secret Investor 14/1, Very smart chaser and unbeaten in 2 outings at this track but has been off for 21 months since landing Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury. Market should reveal expectations.
10 \|PU\| (10) (2.12/1 +6%) Wayfinder	2.12 2.12/1(+6%)	(10) Wayfinder 2.12/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who enhanced his excellent record around here when completing a C&D hat-trick in this headgear on return. Sure to make another bold bid up in class.
5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 -65%) Time To Get Up	14 14/1(-65%)	(5) Time To Get Up 14/1, Progressive novice chaser, readily landing the Midlands National at Uttoxeter. Interrupted campaign last term, best effort when third in Midlands National at Uttoxeter. Record suggests he may need this after 7 months off.
3 \|PU\| (3) (20/1 -25%) Elegant Escape	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Elegant Escape 20/1, Welsh National winner in 2018. Proved he retains a useful level of ability when ending last term with success in a veterans' event at Ascot (23.8f) and should strip fitter for recent return.
4 \|PU\| (4) (40/1 +20%) Bennys King	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Bennys King 40/1, Smart handicap chaser at his best but ran poorly both starts last season and no promise on return last month.

3 1st (3) (0.18/1 +45%) Jonbon	0.18 0.18/1(+45%)	(3) Jonbon 0.18/1, Brother to top-class Douvan and made up into a smart novice hurdler last term, going 4-5 with success in Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. Looked potentially out of the top drawer when bolting up on chase debut/return at Warwick last month so he should take all the beating today.
1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Boothill	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(1) Boothill 4.5/1, Useful hurdles winner who was right back on track when making his second chase outing a winning one at Newton Abbot in October. Took his form up a level when following up in a competitive contest at Ascot a fortnight ago and with better still to come, he looks the biggest danger to Jonbon.
4 3rd (4) (22/1 -38%) Unexpected Party	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Unexpected Party 22/1, Progressed well in handicap hurdles last season, winning at Wetherby and Ascot. Encouraging debut in this sphere having had another breathing operation when runner-up on return at Exeter (19.2f, good to soft) last month and he seems sure to do better over fences.
2 4th (2) (100/1 +0%) Honneur D'Ajonc	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Honneur D'Ajonc 100/1, Built up a good strike rate over hurdles last season, gaining fourth victory in a Wincanton novice (15.2f) in February. Little to shout about on both outings over fences this term though, so he shouldn't be troubling the main protagonists.

5 1st (5) (0.11/1 +21%) Facile Vega	0.11 0.11/1(+21%)	(5) Facile Vega 0.11/1, Unbeaten in bumpers, landing the 20-runner Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy, 15/8) before making it 4 from 4 in Grade 1 at Punchestown. Makes hurdles debut and is hugely exciting prospect.
1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +44%) An Mhi	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(1) An Mhi 4.5/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Slate. Made frame both starts in points. Running well when slipped up in novice hurdle (7/1) at Cheltenham (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 43 days ago.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4.5/1 -50%) Lebowski	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(5) Lebowski 4.5/1, Looked promising when easily winning 2m novice hurdles at Ffos Las and Ayr last November. Plausible excuses for heavy defeats in a Grade 2 novice/Grade 3 handicap on final 2 starts of last season and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track here.
6 2nd (6) (0.73/1 +68%) Kellahen	0.73 0.73/1(+68%)	(6) Kellahen 0.73/1, Useful on the Flat in Germany/France and made it third time lucky over hurdles when landing a 13-runner Bangor novice (16.7f) in decisive fashion last month. Very much of interest on his handicap debut in this sphere.
3 3rd (3) (8/1 +0%) Word Has It	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Word Has It 8/1, Dual winning novice hurdler during 2020/21 and respectable third in a 2m Kelso handicap back in this sphere in January. Possibly found conditions too testing at the same course a month later (since undergone a wind op) and he remains of interest.
2 4th (2) (6.5/1 -63%) Fransham	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(2) Fransham 6.5/1, Four-time C&D winner, which includes the 2020 renewal of this race, and almost added to his tally here on his reappearance in October. Below par next time but it would certainly be no surprise were he to bounce with a bold show.
4 5th (4) (50/1 -257%) Excelcius	50 50/1(-257%)	(4) Excelcius 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Thomas Mullins in Ireland, successful 3 times in 2021. However, he was beating a swift retreat when exiting at the second-last on return/debut for new yard at Musselburgh and now has a bit to prove.
7 6th (7) (10/1 -54%) Mcgowan's Pass	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Mcgowan's Pass 10/1, Winless since early 2020 but was placed on 3 of his 4 starts upon joining this yard last season, including over C&D when last seen in March. Resumes on an attractive mark and will be a threat if fully tuned-up.
1 7th (1) (20/1 +29%) Aramax	20 20/1(+29%)	(1) Aramax 20/1, Became increasingly hard to predict for Gordon Elliott and offered nothing on first outing for new stable at Carlisle last month.

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (5/1 +23%) Ashtown Lad	5 5/1(+23%)	(11) Ashtown Lad 5/1, Useful hurdler who showed similar form over fences last season, shaping better than bare result when fifth of 23 in Scottish Grand National at Ayr final start. Warmed up for this with a good reappearance run over hurdles. Big player for his very much in-form yard.
13 2nd (13) (4/1 +38%) Gesskille	4 4/1(+38%)	(13) Gesskille 4/1, Ex-French chaser with a progressive record for this stable, winning 3 of his first 4 starts. Improved again in defeat when edged out in Grand Sefton over these fences (21f) last month and of major interest with the return to further a help if anything.
21 3rd (21) (10/1 +44%) Percussion	10 10/1(+44%)	(21) Percussion 10/1, Revitalised by cheekpieces/tongue strap when scoring twice at up to 3m at Southwell in the spring. Made a solid return from a break when third (Gesskille 8 lengths ahead in second) in Grand Sefton here 4 weeks ago. Was out of the handicap on that occasion and runs off effectively 3 lb lower now.
5 4th (5) (33/1 -18%) Fortescue	33 33/1(-18%)	(5) Fortescue 33/1, Useful chaser who relished the emphasis on stamina when landing a listed handicap at Ascot (3m, heavy) in February. Should be sharper for a reappearance run over hurdles but he produced a laboured effort in the Grand National in April and these ground conditions may not be testing enough for him.
19 5th (19) (7/1 +22%) Five Star Getaway	7 7/1(+22%)	(19) Five Star Getaway 7/1, Useful chaser who scored second time up last season. Below best towards the end of the campaign, including in the Topham here, but his reappearance run at Bangor was encouraging. Not discounted for a yard which has plundered quite a few valuable handicap chases in recent seasons.
9 6th (9) (33/1 +0%) Cloth Cap	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Cloth Cap 33/1, Classy stayer but has seen a promising career derailed by apparent physical problems, reportedly bled when pulled up in Grand National final start. Didn't see his race out again when fifth on his reappearance here (Mildmay Course) in October. Too much to prove.
4 7th (4) (12/1 +0%) Hill Sixteen	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Hill Sixteen 12/1, Took to these fences very well when narrowly denied by Snow Leopardess in this 12 months ago. A good third on his Kelso reappearance 6 weeks ago suggests he could be set to make another bold bid in this race.
3 8th (3) (16/1 -14%) Snow Leopardess	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Snow Leopardess 16/1, Proved some sight over these fences when edging out Hill Sixteen in this 12 months ago. Followed up in listed race at Exeter in February but she never got in a rhythm when pulled up in Grand National on final start. Pulled up after mistake and rider lost irons first on Warwick reappearance.
17 9th (17) (33/1 -32%) Enqarde	33 33/1(-32%)	(17) Enqarde 33/1, Progressive over fences in recent years, landing Tommy Whittle at Haydock last term and ending campaign with creditable second there. Well beaten over hurdles on his reappearance but better can be expected returned to the larger obstacles.
23 \|F\| (23) (66/1 -32%) Minella Bobo	66 66/1(-32%)	(23) Minella Bobo 66/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who made all at Ffos Las (3m) in May 2021 but has been well beaten on all 3 outings since, pulling up at Bangor last month. His claims aren't obvious.
22 \|U\| (22) (14/1 +36%) Didero Vallis	14 14/1(+36%)	(22) Didero Vallis 14/1, Useful chaser but he proved hard to predict last term, third in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival but pulled up here (Mildmay Course) final start. Respectable third on Exeter reappearance. Has completed on both previous starts over these fences without performing to his best.
16 \|U\| (16) (16/1 -14%) Captain Kangaroo	16 16/1(-14%)	(16) Captain Kangaroo 16/1, Came good over fences when seeing off 16 rivals, including reopposing stablemate Recite A Prayer, in the Cork National (3½m, heavy) 27 days ago. Can likely be competitive off his new mark but he is prone to the odd jumping error.
15 10th (15) (100/1 -52%) Fagan	100 100/1(-52%)	(15) Fagan 100/1, Low mileage for age and resumed winning ways in emphatic fashion at Newbury in January. Good second in veterans' event at Warwick on return but struggled in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham since.
8 11th (8) (14/1 +0%) Fantastikas	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Fantastikas 14/1, Largely progressive novice chaser last term and he showed up well for a long way in a 27f Cheltenham handicap on his reappearance 3 weeks ago, although his jumping was a bit ragged. Stable no stranger to success over these fences.
6 12th (6) (20/1 -43%) Recite A Prayer	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) Recite A Prayer 20/1, Three wins since switched to fences last autumn, the latest in a Killarney handicap in May. Arrives on the back of good placed efforts in the Kerry and Cork Nationals this autumn. Respected for top Irish stable.
12 13th (12) (14/1 +22%) The Wolf	14 14/1(+22%)	(12) The Wolf 14/1, Strong stayer who found just one too good in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February. Unable to make a telling impact held up in the Scottish National 2 months later but back on track when second on his 25f Cheltenham reappearance 6 weeks ago.
1 14th (1) (20/1 +0%) De Rasher Counter	20 20/1(+0%)	(1) De Rasher Counter 20/1, Showed he still retains his ability when second in 3m Warwick veterans' event 17 days ago. Suffered an unlucky unseat at the first Canal Turn in the Grand National in April on his previous attempt over these fences.
2 15th (2) (50/1 -52%) Francky Du Berlais	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Francky Du Berlais 50/1, Found plenty for pressure when landing a second win in the valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen in July. Ran a stinker over hurdles at Cheltenham in October but he's capable of bouncing back and his Topham fourth in the spring shows he acts around here.
10 16th (10) (8/1 +20%) Dr Kananga	8 8/1(+20%)	(10) Dr Kananga 8/1, Progressive chaser last season, winning 3 times. Switched to hurdles on his reappearance and ran well for second in a 23f Bangor novice. That should put him spot on for this. Potential for better still and high on the shortlist.
18 17th (18) (33/1 +0%) Domaine De L'isle	33 33/1(+0%)	(18) Domaine De L'isle 33/1, Winless last season and he's beaten only a couple home in a handicap hurdle/chase this time round. Refitted blinkers will need to make a big difference.
7 \|PU\| (7) (33/1 +0%) The Jam Man	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) The Jam Man 33/1, Has drawn a blank since his Troytown win at Navan in autumn 2020 and was well behind Recite A Prayer in the Kerry National at Listowel in September. Also down the field on the Flat since. Tongue tied first time. Others are more obvious.
14 \|PU\| (14) (40/1 +39%) Rapid Flight	40 40/1(+39%)	(14) Rapid Flight 40/1, Likeable sort who won 5 chases at Cartmel during the summer. Found the concession of plenty of weight to a good prospect beyond him in a Hexham novice last time but he ran with credit in second. Stable won this in 2015.

2 2nd (2) (18/1 +28%) Coeur Serein	18 18/1(+28%)	(2) Coeur Serein 18/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ran well considering he was caught up in early interference when eighth in the Pertemps Final at the Festival. Let down by jumping back over fences on return, however.
6 3rd (6) (8/1 +20%) Bells Of Peterboro	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Bells Of Peterboro 8/1, Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles and best effort over hurdles when second of 10 in handicap chase (6/1) at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago, staying on well. Respected.
10 4th (10) (66/1 +0%) Mormon	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Mormon 66/1, Fairly useful maiden chaser for Henry de Bromhead (sold £1,500 in September). Off 11 months. Best watched.
1 5th (1) (2/1 -6%) Iron Bridge	2 2/1(-6%)	(1) Iron Bridge 2/1, Debut bumper scorer for Damian Murphy in Ireland before winning both his starts over hurdles last season. Stretched his unbeaten record to 4 when making a winning chase bow at Carlisle on return, powering clear in the style of a very smart staying prospect. Sure to progress and win more races.
9 6th (9) (22/1 -214%) Reilly	22 22/1(-214%)	(9) Reilly 22/1, Opened hurdles account at the fifth attempt at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) in March, displaying a good turn of foot in the process. Improved on his hurdles form right away when second at Warwick on return/chase bow, clear of rest. Should have more to offer.
3 7th (3) (14/1 +0%) Young Buck	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Young Buck 14/1, Successful pointer who showed useful form in novice hurdles. Missed last season, but in top hands and looks very much the type to make a chaser (has had breathing operation during absence).
8 \|F\| (8) (10/1 +9%) The Street	10 10/1(+9%)	(8) The Street 10/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner last term, making a successful handicap debut here (19.5f). Chasing career couldn't have got off to a worse start, however, coming down at the first at Hereford after 8 months off.
5 \|PU\| (5) (33/1 -136%) Could Talkaboutit	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Could Talkaboutit 33/1, Progressive over hurdles, off the mark in 11-runner novice (4/1) at Wincanton (19.8f, good to soft) in March. Open to further improvement and looks sure to make a better chaser stepping up in trip.

Course winner who makes her handicap debut back down in trip off a fair looking mark and sets the standard.
6 2nd (6) (8.5/1 -6%) Playful Saint	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(6) Playful Saint 8.5/1, Juvenile hurdle winner in France who defied an absence of 3 years to make a winning yard/handicap debut at Wetherby in March. Should go well if coming on for reappearance when 19¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Sonigino in 2m Chepstow handicap in October.
5 3rd (5) (3.33/1 +5%) Homme Public	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(5) Homme Public 3.33/1, Picked up where he'd left off last season for his up-and-coming yard when quickening clear at Wetherby 3 weeks ago (16f, good). Further progress can't be ruled out in this more competitive race.
9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +31%) Hermes Boy	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(9) Hermes Boy 4.5/1, Looked a horse to follow this time last year but has underwhelmed subsequently. Seemingly needed the run on seasonal reappearance at Worcester (10/1, 20f) in October, but did give encouragement he could regain the winning thread again this term. Each-way chance in first-time cheekpieces.
7 5th (7) (40/1 +39%) Bashful Boy	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Bashful Boy 40/1, Earned first victory for this yard in June but has been out of form since, still someway below his best at Kempton (when fourth of 6, 16f) 12 days ago. Now on last winning mark but this is much more competitive so easy to look past.
4 6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Nayati	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Nayati 11/1, Has been making up for lost time with a second success in three starts since returning from a long lay-off, sprinting clear at Bangor 3 weeks ago (9 runner handicap hurdle, 7/2). Back down in trip on better ground today but likely to give another bold show.
1 7th (1) (14/1 +0%) Friend Or Foe	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Friend Or Foe 14/1, Useful handicap hurdler who spent last season over fences, winning 2 from 5 starts. Finished last of 3 finishers at Fontwell in March but returns over timber on a workable mark and can feature here for his top yard on a track that suits well.
2 8th (2) (16/1 -14%) Martator	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Martator 16/1, French import who was last seen finishing third in an Auteuil Grade 1 a year ago, subsequently joining a yard in top form with a track record in improving such horses. Returns to the track without usual headgear but needs respect.
10 9th (10) (50/1 +24%) Just The Man	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Just The Man 50/1, Back to last winning mark and was in the process of running well as even money favourite when fell 3 out at Leicester last month. Cheekpieces return but likely to find this much too competitive.

3 1st (3) (7/1 -40%) Landrake	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Landrake 7/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle (9/2) at Clonmel (19.3f, heavy) on hurdles bow 16 days ago, responding well. Should progress.
4 2nd (4) (18/1 -13%) Dovlator	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Dovlator 18/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Second of 8 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Roscommon (20f, good) in July, carrying head a little awkwardly. That best put down to prevailing inexperience for now and he may yet have more to offer, including up at 3m.
12 3rd (12) (18/1 +28%) Ottoman Style	18 18/1(+28%)	(12) Ottoman Style 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 12/1, bit below form ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good) 129 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell and interesting what the market makes of him.
8 4th (8) (4/1 +20%) Changing The Rules	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Changing The Rules 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 7/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations.

10 7th (10) (12/1 +25%) Vera Verto	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Vera Verto 12/1, Fair hurdler. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 33 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles.
5 8th (5) (4/1 +43%) Derrylinda	4 4/1(+43%)	(5) Derrylinda 4/1, Fair hurdler. 1 win from 1 run this season. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner novice hurdle at Cork (20.4f, soft, 4/1) 48 days ago, readily. Hood on 1st time.

Winner in bumper at Naas in December. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft) in April, bad mistake 5 out and not recover.

8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +61%) Aire Valley Lad	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(8) Aire Valley Lad 3.5/1, Unreliable sort but best effort for a while when second of 8 in handicap chase (9/2) at Newcastle (23.4f, soft) 16 days ago, sticking to task.
5 2nd (5) (6/1 +0%) Conquredalofeurope	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Conquredalofeurope 6/1, Good second of 11 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy, 4/1) before having his race end prematurely through no fault of his own at Downpatrick. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving J. D. Motherway (sold £20,000 in September).
3 3rd (3) (6/1 -71%) Hometown Hero	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Hometown Hero 6/1, Irish point winner who confirmed earlier promise over hurdles when justifying short odds at Market Rasen (20.5f) in February. Well held in EBF Final at Sandown but promising start over fences when third of 4 at Aintree on return.
6 4th (6) (20/1 -67%) Trevelyn's Corn	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Trevelyn's Corn 20/1, Expensive point recruit who went the wrong way for Paul Nicholls after a winning a maiden hurdle at Wincanton in March 2019. However, step back in right direction on fourth chase start when second at Carlisle and backed that up when filling same spot at Hexham. Off 8 months. Back up in trip.
2 5th (2) (7.5/1 -88%) Godrevy Point	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(2) Godrevy Point 7.5/1, Runner-up twice before getting off the mark in a 25f Hereford maiden hurdle in February. Appeals as the sort to make a chaser but got no further than the ninth at Stratford on chase bow/return. Headgear on.
7 6th (7) (2.75/1 +63%) Harry Du Berlais	2.75 2.75/1(+63%)	(7) Harry Du Berlais 2.75/1, Irish point winner who left hurdling form behind when runner-up in a handicap at Bangor on chasing debut in April and went one better at Market Rasen on return. Open to further improvement in this sphere.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (12/1 -41%) Brave Seasca	12 12/1(-41%)	(1) Brave Seasca 12/1, Hurdles winner who took form to a new level over fences last term, completing quick-fire hat-trick on handicap debut at Warwick (2m) in January. Not disgraced in Gr. 2 next time and he fell early in the Arkle when last seen. This more suitable.
13 2nd (13) (22/1 -10%) Handsworth	22 22/1(-10%)	(13) Handsworth 22/1, Gained second handicap chase victory (in refitted cheekpieces) at Naas (20.4f) in January. Never figured next 2 starts but right back to best when runner-up on seasonal return at Wexford (20f) in October. Not underestimated from the foot of the weights on that evidence.
12 3rd (12) (11/1 +0%) Cooper's Cross	11 11/1(+0%)	(12) Cooper's Cross 11/1, Is progressing well and made a winning return from 6 months off in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (20f) 16 days ago, storming clear from last. Assessor applies more pressure but he's still low-mileage and could well be up to the task.
3 4th (3) (18/1 -13%) Kiltealy Briggs	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Kiltealy Briggs 18/1, Dual winner of small-field novice chase events last term and having ended the campaign well below his best, he got back on track without needing to improve to score at Market Rasen (21.4f) in October. Needs to back that up in this more demanding affair.
9 5th (9) (3/1 +40%) Gunsight Ridge	3 3/1(+40%)	(9) Gunsight Ridge 3/1, Consistent hurdler who justified good support on the back of a break/wind op over shorter here 4 weeks ago, jumping on 3 out and ridden out. Still room for improvement in his jumping but may not have reached his limit yet, including at this trip.
5 6th (5) (9/1 +36%) Elvis Mail	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Elvis Mail 9/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who, in line with yard's good form, returned to something like his best to end losing run back from 7 months off at Ayr (20.5f) 5 weeks ago, well served by the test of speed. This understandably demands a little more.
2 7th (2) (20/1 +29%) Empire Steel	20 20/1(+29%)	(2) Empire Steel 20/1, 8-y-o who goes particularly well when the mud is flying, adding to his tally when seeing of re-opposing Clan Legend at Kelso (21.6f) in February. Solid second back at that venue in March but conditions may not play to his strengths back down in trip on return.
4 8th (4) (25/1 -14%) Wishing And Hoping	25 25/1(-14%)	(4) Wishing And Hoping 25/1, Won veterans event over 25f here last October. Winless thereafter but did go with zest for a long way prior to succumbing late in Grade 3 handicap here final start. Did too much too soon when runner-up on return here last month but he clearly retains all his enthusiasm at the age of 12.
11 9th (11) (14/1 +0%) Clan Legend	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Clan Legend 14/1, Likeable veteran who was very gutsy when taking this race for second consecutive season 12 months ago, by 3 lengths from Riders Onthe Storm. Creditable second on seasonal bow at Ayr recently but he's done his winning on much softer ground than forecast here.
6 \|U\| (6) (16/1 +0%) Schiehallion Munro	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Schiehallion Munro 16/1, Likeable sort who won twice at Wetherby (19.4f) last winter prior to finding the demands of the Plate handicap too demanding at Cheltenham in March. Solid return fourth at first-named venue last month but victories over fences have come in single-figure fields.
10 10th (10) (6/1 -9%) Knight In Dubai	6 6/1(-9%)	(10) Knight In Dubai 6/1, Useful hurdler who scored twice as a novice in this sphere during 2019/20 campaign. Very lightly raced since and, afforded a chance by the assessor he returned from 10 months off with a good second at Bangor (20.3f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope.
7 11th (7) (3.5/1 -5%) Riders Onthe Storm	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(7) Riders Onthe Storm 3.5/1, High-class chaser in his pomp (Grade 1 winner) who capitalised on sliding mark on return in Old Roan Chase under an excellent ride. That form has been very well advertised since and big shout from 2 lb higher if arriving in same form.
8 \|PU\| (8) (33/1 -32%) Kap Auteuil	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Kap Auteuil 33/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences with ready success at Stratford (22.5f) in March. Struggled at Haydock a month later and whilst much better than bare result when fifth on return at Fakenham (3m) in October, it's likely he'll face plenty of competition on the front end here.

3 2nd (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Future Investment	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(3) Future Investment 7.5/1, Useful staying handicapper on the Flat and shaped far better than previously over hurdles when fourth in novice at Warwick on return, catching the eye from off the pace. More to come.
6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 -25%) Libberty Hunter	1.88 1.88/1(-25%)	(6) Libberty Hunter 1.88/1, Talented enough to win 2 bumpers for Brian Eckley and changed hands for £160,000 after. Would have made a successful hurdling debut after 9 months off but for a late lapse in concentration here last month and can make amends.
5 4th (5) (22/1 -22%) Grey D'alco	22 22/1(-22%)	(5) Grey D'alco 22/1, Multiple winning pointer who showed a fair bit of ability starting out under Rules third of 8 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer.
7 5th (7) (33/1 -106%) Manorbank	33 33/1(-106%)	(7) Manorbank 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Arcadio gelding. Won 7-runner bumper at Kelso (16.2f, heavy, 6/1) on NH debut in January 2020. Sold from Sandy Thomson £80,000 following month and not seen since.
4 6th (4) (33/1 +34%) Grave La Klass	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Grave La Klass 33/1, Winning pointer. Shaped with some encouragement when fifth in an Irish bumper for C. S. McKeever in March 2021.

2 1st (2) (5/1 +33%) Edwardstone	5 5/1(+33%)	(2) Edwardstone 5/1, A thoroughly likeable sort who took his winning sequence to 5 when landing the Arkle (his second win at Grade 1 level) at the Festival. Beaten by Gentleman De Mee at Aintree the following month, but his win in last year's Henry VII Novice Chase makes him an obvious player.
5 2nd (5) (2/1 +0%) Greaneteen	2 2/1(+0%)	(5) Greaneteen 2/1, Last year's winner of this race, who looked as good as ever when winning last month's Haldon Gold Cup by 7 lengths. Has superb C&D record (form figures of 2111, all Grade 1s) and will give Shishkin the most to think about.
6 3rd (6) (1.2/1 +0%) Shishkin	1.2 1.2/1(+0%)	(6) Shishkin 1.2/1, Went into the Cheltenham Festival with an excellent Clarence House win (beat future Champion Chaser Energumene), making it a perfect 7 from 7 over fences. Disappointed massively when pulled up as 6/5-on favourite but can bounce back here to affirm his position as the top two-mile chaser.
4 4th (4) (10/1 +9%) Gentleman De Mee	10 10/1(+9%)	(4) Gentleman De Mee 10/1, Likely front-runner who defeated Arkle winner Edwardstone at Aintree in April, marking him as one of the top novices in the division. Nowhere near his best on his return at Naas last month, unseating when well held in third, but can bounce back for top connections.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -25%) Dunvegan	100 100/1(-25%)	(1) Dunvegan 100/1, Very smart chaser who landed back-to-back handicaps at Fairyhouse before creditable 12l second to Chacun Pour Soi in Dublin Chase at Leopardstown in February. His jumping will be an asset round here but faces an uphill task in this company on seasonal reappearance.
3 6th (3) (18/1 +18%) Funambule Sivola	18 18/1(+18%)	(3) Funambule Sivola 18/1, Progressed well in open company last season, taking the Game Spirit at Newbury, and put up a career-best when second in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham. Failed to settle when returned to a longer trip at Aintree subsequently but no back number here.

7 8th (7) (125/1 -213%) Zanjabeel	125 125/1(-213%)	(7) Zanjabeel 125/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott who tasted success in Grade 1 company in America back in 2018. Very lightly raced since, absent since finishing sixth of 9 in minor event chase at Percy Warner (3m) in June 2021. Market should guide on yard debut.
1 9th (1) (20/1 -150%) Boothen Boy	20 20/1(-150%)	(1) Boothen Boy 20/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fell in Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft, 14/1) 13 months ago (looking booked for second). Absent since but he well have more to offer now handicapping on return.

5 1st (5) (3.5/1 +0%) Peribonka River	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(5) Peribonka River 3.5/1, Kapgarde filly. Sister to fairly useful chaser Shawinigan. Dam maiden half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Hammersly Lake. Wears hood. Interesting newcomer.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 -100%) Amarbelle's Dream	3 3/1(-100%)	(1) Amarbelle's Dream 3/1, £7,000 3-y-o, Brazen Beau filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful triple bumper winner Get In The Queue and Italian hurdle winner Entente. Highly respected on debut.
8 3rd (8) (6/1 -140%) Whozatgirl	6 6/1(-140%)	(8) Whozatgirl 6/1, Related to numerous winners and made a pleasing start when runner-up at Huntingdon last month. Has the experience edge, so should go close.
4 4th (4) (4.5/1 +63%) Noble Intrigue	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(4) Noble Intrigue 4.5/1, Nathaniel filly. Dam unraced. Worth monitoring in the market.

2 6th (2) (80/1 +20%) Garswood Lady	80 80/1(+20%)	(2) Garswood Lady 80/1, Garswood filly. Dam placed only start on Flat. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (50/1 -25%) Romeo Brown	50 50/1(-25%)	(12) Romeo Brown 50/1, In excellent form during the spring, well ridden when adding to his tally at Haydock (3m) in May and matched that on back of 5 months off when third at Wetherby (2m) in October. Rare poor effort faced with testing ground at Carlisle since.
10 2nd (10) (3.5/1 +53%) Benson	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(10) Benson 3.5/1, Ended last term in disappointing fashion but back on track in filling runners-up spot both starts for new yard this year, keeping on well having been outpaced leaving back straight at Haydock (18.9f) 2 weeks ago. Returns to 2½m and booking of Hughes catches the eye.
6 3rd (6) (2.75/1 +17%) Walking On Air	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(6) Walking On Air 2.75/1, Well-bred 5-y-o who looked potentially smart in making a winning start over hurdles in a 2m novice at Newbury in January. Found C&D Grade 1 all too much when next seen in the spring but he returns as an unexposed sort with lots of potential. Market confidence would be significant.
4 4th (4) (3.2/1 +36%) Harbour Lake	3.2 3.2/1(+36%)	(4) Harbour Lake 3.2/1, 6-y-o boasting an excellent strike rate over hurdles, gaining fourth success with a bit to spare on return at Market Rasen (20.6f) in October. Not at all disgraced when keeping on again for third in the Greatwood at Cheltenham and possible there's more to come back up at 2½m.
2 5th (2) (12/1 -33%) Herbiers	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Herbiers 12/1, Useful handicap hurdler who benefited from drop in grade on back of a wind op to score at Newbury 4 weeks ago, leading 3 out and drawing clear run-in. Career-high mark to defy now though back up in trip.
13 6th (13) (20/1 -11%) Whizz Kid	20 20/1(-11%)	(13) Whizz Kid 20/1, Useful Flat performer who landed back-to-back maiden/novice hurdles last spring and run well to hit the frame on 3 of his 4 starts since, keeping on for third at Ascot (15.7f) 2 weeks back. Longer trip may just be worth exploring here.
1 7th (1) (5.5/1 -22%) Langer Dan	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(1) Langer Dan 5.5/1, Well clear of rest when second to Galopin des Champs in 2021 Martin Pipe and, having been brought down in last season's renewal (sent off fav) he duly made amends in a C&D Gr. 3 handicap in April. Shaped as if needing last month's return to action here and he's not out of things.
11 8th (11) (25/1 -25%) Foster'sisland	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Foster'sisland 25/1, Progressive, 3-time winner over hurdles during 2021/22 who has returned in rude health, runner-up to a totally unexposed sort at Wetherby (19.7f) 3 weeks ago (clear of remainder). Mark has crept up a little but suspicion is he could pull out a little more.
5 9th (5) (14/1 -17%) Sizing Pottsie	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Sizing Pottsie 14/1, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington who, having changed hands (for 95,000 gns) made most of good opportunity to land Ayr novice hurdle in October. Creditable second in listed event at Haydock (15.6f) 2 weeks ago and not out of things making handicap debut in this sphere. Up in trip.
7 \|U\| (7) (33/1 -32%) Bold Plan	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Bold Plan 33/1, Resurgent over hurdles during second half of last term, looking about as good as ever when completing the hat-trick at Cheltenham (20f) in April. Has often needed first start of the campaign, so likely he'll be much sharper for last month's Kempton effort now.
9 10th (9) (33/1 -83%) Skippin Court	33 33/1(-83%)	(9) Skippin Court 33/1, Took his form up a notch when defying an 11 lb lower mark at Listowel in September and wilst not disgraced when sixth at Punchestown (20.3f) in October, he did hang badly right on that occasion. Cheekpieces go on now but mark demands that little bit more.
3 11th (3) (125/1 -150%) Ballyhome	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Ballyhome 125/1, Veteran who tasted success twice over fences at Market Rasen in 2020 and filled runners-up spot over hurdles/fences back at that venue both starts last year. However, lengthy absence to overcome here and others make more appeal.
8 12th (8) (28/1 -40%) Hardi Du Mesnil	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Hardi Du Mesnil 28/1, Well-related sort who was acquired for €250,000 on back of success in a French juvenile hurdle success and promise when runner-up in an introductory hurdle at Newbury (16.3f) 11 months ago. Absent since but interesting connections who won this last year pitch him in here on handicap bow.

4 11th (4) (22/1 -57%) Claras Soldier	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Claras Soldier 22/1, Only ninth at Ascot first time out and much more will be required if he's to get involved in what looks an equally strong contest on paper.
1 12th (1) (33/1 -65%) Atlantic Fleet	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Atlantic Fleet 33/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Beat Hollow gelding. Dam (c111/h110), 17f-3m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 23f) Boreham Bill.

9 3rd (9) (6/1 -9%) Eclair De Guye	6 6/1(-9%)	(9) Eclair De Guye 6/1, Mixed record last season but was a decent third in this race on return 12 months ago off 7 lb higher so not taken lightly.
3 4th (3) (2/1 -14%) Revels Hill	2 2/1(-14%)	(3) Revels Hill 2/1, Improved when winning handicap chases at Taunton end of last season and returned with excellent second at Ascot 2 weeks ago. Very much one to be interested in back up in trip.

Half-sister to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Cursory Glance and 1½m winner Blowing Dixie. Hails from leading yard and catches the eye on paper. Interesting.

5 2nd (5) (1.25/1 +55%) Pocket The Profit	1.25 1.25/1(+55%)	(5) Pocket The Profit 1.25/1, Course winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Below form third of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. 2-4 on the AW and big player with William Buick booked.
8 3rd (8) (6/1 +29%) Muscika	6 6/1(+29%)	(8) Muscika 6/1, C&D winner. Won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/2) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Remains feasibly treated up 3 lb and ought to give another good account.
1 4th (1) (6/1 +40%) Aberama Gold	6 6/1(+40%)	(1) Aberama Gold 6/1, Latest win at Ayr in October. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others make more appeal on balance.
4 5th (4) (8/1 +20%) Alablaq	8 8/1(+20%)	(4) Alablaq 8/1, Three wins from 16 runs this year. 12/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable.
7 6th (7) (9/1 -6%) Mighty Gurkha	9 9/1(-6%)	(7) Mighty Gurkha 9/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 14 days ago, never nearer. Others table more pressing claims.

9 2nd (9) (28/1 +44%) Harry Magnus	28 28/1(+44%)	(9) Harry Magnus 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Showed more but still rough around the edges when fifth of 10 in minor event (11/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, running on late. Easy to look elsewhere.
5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Tenjin	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(5) Tenjin 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in October. Ran at least as well when second of 10 in nursery at same course (6f) 24 days ago, despite failing to settle and conceding first run. This contest looks tougher.
8 4th (8) (10/1 -67%) Danger Alert	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) Danger Alert 10/1, Fairly useful gelding. Runner-up last 4 starts, though did a fair bit wrong when second of 5 in nursery at this course (7.2f) 22 days ago, breaking awkwardly and pulling hard. Capable of better here despite wide draw.

7 7th (7) (7/1 +36%) Swift Asset	7 7/1(+36%)	(7) Swift Asset 7/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Windsor in June. Highly tried since, failing to beat a rival in valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 86 days ago. More needed on tapeta debut.
4 8th (4) (16/1 -14%) Flag Flying	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Flag Flying 16/1, Won Goodwood maiden in June but has been highly disappointing both starts since. Fair bit to prove now on first run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton.

1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Outbox	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(1) Outbox 5.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable nose second of 15 to Hard One To Please in Stockholm Cup International at Bro (11.9f, good, 25/10) 76 days ago, despite worst of draw. Likely to get easy lead here and isn't discounted.

3 5th (3) (16/1 +0%) Furzig	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Furzig 16/1, Has thrived in the mud at Catterick this autumn, scoring twice over this trip in October. Down the field in November Handicap at Doncaster last time and looks opposable again in this company.

2 7th (2) (20/1 -67%) Caraghann	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Caraghann 20/1, Fairly useful form in France. Inauspicious start for new yard when last of 7 in handicap at Newbury (13f, heavy, 25/1) on UK debut 43 days ago but perhaps the very testing ground was against him. AW debut.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
