1st (2) (7.5/1 +32%) Straw Fan Jack
7.5
7.5/1(+32%)
(2) Straw Fan Jack 7.5/1, Much improved over hurdles in recent weeks, landing a Hereford novice (19.6f) prior to a cracking second on handicap bow at Ascot (19.2f) in October. Clear of remainder then and not discounted here.
4
2nd (4) (0.73/1 +9%) Dargiannini
0.73
0.73/1(+9%)
(4) Dargiannini 0.73/1, Made plenty of appeal on paper and looked something out of the ordinary when winning a Sedgefield bumper (16.8f) in October, powering to the line off a sound gallop. Most exciting hurdling prospect.
1
3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Mackenberg
4
4/1(+0%)
(1) Mackenberg 4/1, £90,000 purchase who landed first of 2 starts in bumpers and off the mark over hurdles in good style at Carlisle (17f). Good second despite sloppy jumping at Wetherby since and he's respected.
5
4th (5) (7.5/1 -25%) Fly To Mars
7.5
7.5/1(-25%)
(5) Fly To Mars 7.5/1, Showed plenty in defeat over hurdles earlier in career and looked set to show improved form when falling 3 out at Exeter (18.5f) in March 2019. Absent since and the market may prove a good guide.
3
5th (3) (16/1 -78%) Danehill Kodiac
16
16/1(-78%)
(3) Danehill Kodiac 16/1, Smart on the Flat (stays 1¾m) and some promise to glean from yard/hurdles debut effort on back of 18 months off at Newbury last month. Suspicion he'll come on plenty for that.
6
6th (6) (25/1 +50%) Fugitif
25
25/1(+50%)
(6) Fugitif 25/1, Third in a 4-y-o hurdle at Nantes in France last season. Well held in a 20f novice here on yard debut last month and whilst he should come forward for that, this is a hot-looking heat.

(1) Fern Hill 1.62/1, Showed a bit on his only outing in bumpers and built plenty on his hurdling debut promise up in trip when forging clear late here (19.7f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Type to go on improving up in trip.
2
2nd (2) (1/1 +9%) Witness Protection
1
1/1(+9%)
(2) Witness Protection 1/1, Promise in bumpers and improved plenty from hurdling debut 13 months on when off the mark in style at Stratford (18.7f) 27 days ago. Leading claims under a penalty.

25

6.5/1(-44%)
(9) Let Me Be 6.5/1, Dual junior bumper winner who offered something to work on sent hurdling when fifth of 13 in a Catterick novice (19.3f) 15 days ago. Should do better.

125
125/1(-213%)
(3) Ask The Question 125/1, Clear-cut winner of sole completed start between the flags in March, but that was a 3-runner affair and he didn't achieve a great deal on his recent Sedgefield hurdle debut.

50
50/1(-213%)
(12) Western Starlet 50/1, Runner-up in an Ayr bumper on debut in January but tame effort at Warwick 2 months later and offered little in a first-time tongue strap on Ffos Las hurdling debut 27 days ago.

0.73
0.73/1(-9%)
(1) Oscar Elite 0.73/1, Off mark in Irish points at third attempt in March and looked very useful when slamming the opposition on Rules debut here a month ago. Up in trip and the one to beat under a penalty.
3
2nd (3) (1.38/1 +39%) Springfield Fox
1.38
1.38/1(+39%)
(3) Springfield Fox 1.38/1, Unbeaten in Irish points and left hurdling efforts in his wake when landing brace of handicaps over fences around 3m. Unseated rider in the NH Chase and has to be capable of better over timber.

1st (10) (4.5/1 +44%) Light Flicker
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(10) Light Flicker 4.5/1, Point winner who showed first form under Rules when 13 lengths second over hurdles at Exeter (21.6f) last month. Now his task is to translate that improvement back to chasing.
6
2nd (6) (11/1 +45%) Road Warrior
11
11/1(+45%)
(6) Road Warrior 11/1, Yet to win, and following a good comeback second over further at Sedgefield after wind surgery, he's failed to match that level either start since.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 +43%) Eagle De Guye
8
8/1(+43%)
(8) Eagle De Guye 8/1, Placed in his only point back in May 2018 and having missed all of 2019, he's hinted at promise in trio of novice hurdle events spread over 7 months. This may be more his bag now handicapping.
12
4th (12) (12/1 +40%) Vintage Glen
12
12/1(+40%)
(12) Vintage Glen 12/1, Lightly raced maiden who looked held back by inexperience when midfield in a novices' handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f) in October. This should reveal more but others make greater appeal.
11
5th (11) (8.5/1 -55%) Real Armani
8.5
8.5/1(-55%)
(11) Real Armani 8.5/1, Poor maiden hurdler but better signs over fences earlier this year, twice finding only one too good in handicaps at Carlisle at up to 3m. Not ruled out on return.
2
6th (2) (4/1 +27%) Going Mobile
4
4/1(+27%)
(2) Going Mobile 4/1, Suited by return to further when off the mark at Market Rasen (19f) in October. Undone by keenness/jumping errors at Musselburgh since but not one to write off.
1
7th (1) (2.5/1 -33%) Flamboyant Joyaux
2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(1) Flamboyant Joyaux 2.5/1, Point/fair hurdles winner who shaped well when third on chase bow at Sedgefield (19.3f) last month, his early exuberance possibly costing him. Jumped well then and he's considered with better to come.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 -60%) Yesandno
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Yesandno 16/1, Made little impact in trio of hurdle starts for Alan King but likely first start for 21 months was needed on yard debut at Uttoxeter in November. May do better now chasing.
9
|PU| (9) (33/1 -106%) Duncomplaining
33
33/1(-106%)
(9) Duncomplaining 33/1, Veteran who is seemingly hard to train, absent since finishing well beaten over fences at Leicester (20.2f) in January 2018 (sole start for Oliver Sherwood). Worth a check in the betting for clues.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -21%) Kiteinahurricane
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Kiteinahurricane 40/1, Court Cave gelding who was well beaten all 3 starts over hurdles last winter. However, undergone wind surgery ahead of return and he's closely related to a couple of point winners. Market best guide.
3
|PU| (3) (50/1 -614%) Triangle Rock
50
50/1(-614%)
(3) Triangle Rock 50/1, Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles for Keith Dalgleish and likely first run for 20 months was needed at Hereford (25.5f) in November. Worth noting if strong in the betting now sent chasing.

1st (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Golden Boy Grey
5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(2) Golden Boy Grey 5.5/1, €43,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful French hurdler Sevros. In excellent hands and not without interest on breeding so newcomer is worth considering.
1
2nd (1) (0.18/1 +38%) Grand Mogul
0.18
0.18/1(+38%)
(1) Grand Mogul 0.18/1, Fairly useful form to land 18f Chepstow novice but only fair fifth in Cheltenham Grade 2 22 days ago. This is far less exacting so will prove hard to beat for yard that has fine record in this race.
4
3rd (4) (28/1 -75%) Pride Of Pemberley
28
28/1(-75%)
(4) Pride Of Pemberley 28/1, Fair bumper form in 2016/17. Much better effort over hurdles on belated return when never-dangerous fourth in 20f Plumpton novice 19 days ago. Needs lot more still if he's to trouble the favourite.
3
4th (3) (16/1 -60%) Mickyh
16
16/1(-60%)
(3) Mickyh 16/1, €17,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, notably useful duo Doctor Duffy and Flash The Steel. Appeals on paper so debutant is not totally dismissed. Market can guide.

1st (8) (3.5/1 +75%) Supreme Escape
3.5
3.5/1(+75%)
(8) Supreme Escape 3.5/1, Point/hurdles winner who produced an underwhelming display on chase debut at Chepstow (2m) in November, albeit the much shorter trip probably against him. This should reveal more.
6
2nd (6) (2.25/1 +50%) Faustinovick
2.25
2.25/1(+50%)
(6) Faustinovick 2.25/1, Fairly useful maiden over hurdles but yet to scale same heights over fences this term. Needs to sharpen up his jumping to feature.
7
3rd (7) (20/1 -67%) Ostuni
20
20/1(-67%)
(7) Ostuni 20/1, Fair hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls who was well held on yard/chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) early last month. However, that was his first start for 8 month and he may yet do better in this sphere.
1
4th (1) (5.5/1 -65%) Le Coeur Net
5.5
5.5/1(-65%)
(1) Le Coeur Net 5.5/1, Looked better than ever in landing back-to-back small-field handicaps in recent weeks, latterly at Ffos Las (19.4f) 6 days ago. Fancied to give it his best shot again in hat-trick bid.
2
5th (2) (8.5/1 -155%) Pistol Park
8.5
8.5/1(-155%)
(2) Pistol Park 8.5/1, Fairly useful winning chaser at his best. Lightly raced in last couple of years but highlighted he still has something to offer when 8 lengths third on return at Ayr in October. May be sharper now.
3
6th (3) (4/1 +0%) Elixir Du Gouet
4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Elixir Du Gouet 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who shaped much better than being pulled up suggests at Ludlow (20f) in February, not seeing things out. Had wind op which may have done the trick.
4
|PU| (4) (16/1 -129%) Agamemmon
16
16/1(-129%)
(4) Agamemmon 16/1, Regained winning thread at Sedgefield (26f) 12 months ago but not at his best when last seen at Catterick (25f) in February. However, has gone well fresh in the past so certainly not ruled out.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -186%) Last Encounter
40
40/1(-186%)
(5) Last Encounter 40/1, Sole career success came back in 2015 but he did shape as if back in form before crashing out 3 out over fences at Thurles (18f) in October. Interesting what the market makes of him for new yard.

6
1st (6) (5/1 +38%) Kateson
5
5/1(+38%)
(6) Kateson 5/1, Failed to convince over fences but ran well back over hurdles when second over 2½m at Uttoxeter in March. Only eight of 12 on return at Newbury but most likely needed the run. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
11
2nd (11) (16/1 +20%) Eternally Yours
16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Eternally Yours 16/1, Overall record is a positive one, and she has gone well fresh before, so well worth a look.
4
3rd (4) (5/1 -25%) Hunters Call
5
5/1(-25%)
(4) Hunters Call 5/1, Landed a Grade 3 handicap at Ascot in 2017 and proved at least as good as ever on first run since when winning at Southwell in July. Performed with credit in a pair of quality handicaps subsequently.
9
4th (9) (3.5/1 +22%) Mint Condition
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(9) Mint Condition 3.5/1, Ex-pointer who has returned an improved model, landing a brace of 19.6f Bangor handicaps. This is harder but he's open to further improvement in his pursuit of the hat-trick.
8
5th (8) (12/1 +14%) Look My Way
12
12/1(+14%)
(8) Look My Way 12/1, Did well as a novice during 2017/18, notably finishing second in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham. Shaped as if better for the run after 28 months off at Wetherby and this ought to reveal more.
10
6th (10) (6.5/1 -8%) Captain Tom Cat
6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(10) Captain Tom Cat 6.5/1, Failed to win in points but very much going the right way over hurdles, making it 3 wins form 4 starts in a Cheltenham handicap (21f) in October. Creditable third in similar event back there since.
2
7th (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Navajo Pass
8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(2) Navajo Pass 8.5/1, Fairly useful 14f Flat winner who landed a Grade 2 over hurdles last season before a fine fourth in the Triumph. Far from disgraced in a strong C&D event on return ahead of this switch to handicaps.
1
8th (1) (7.5/1 +25%) Ballymoy
7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(1) Ballymoy 7.5/1, Progressive in 2018/19 achieving smart form. Failed to land the odds all 3 chase starts and well held in the Coral Cup in March but ran well behind reopposing Mint Condition at Bangor on return.
5
9th (5) (12/1 -100%) Glinger Flame
12
12/1(-100%)
(5) Glinger Flame 12/1, Can look a little ungainly on occasions but his strike-rate can't be knocked, making it 5 wins in his last 7 starts when taking 2½m Hexham handicap on reappearance. Up 5 lb.
7
10th (7) (50/1 -52%) Desaray Girl
50
50/1(-52%)
(7) Desaray Girl 50/1, Won her first 3 outings over hurdles last term, including a Haydock listed event. Ended the campaign in disappointing fashion though, and fared no return for new yard at Wetherby.
3
11th (3) (28/1 -40%) Irish Roe
28
28/1(-40%)
(3) Irish Roe 28/1, Likeable mare who landed a C&D handicap in May 2019 and posted largely good efforts in defeat later in the season. Understandably looked rusty when well held on Haydock reappearance 2 weeks ago.

1st (6) (3/1 +25%) All Hail Caesar
3
3/1(+25%)
(6) All Hail Caesar 3/1, Signed off last season by landing an 11-runner Newcastle bumper in February. Needed reappearance and stepped up on that in first-time cheekpieces when third over 25f at Catterick 2 weeks ago.
8
2nd (8) (4.5/1 +59%) March Is On
4.5
4.5/1(+59%)
(8) March Is On 4.5/1, Winning hurdler but ended 2019/20 out of sorts and has fared little better in 2 outings this term, (chase first occasion).
3
3rd (3) (7/1 -211%) Dalaman
7
7/1(-211%)
(3) Dalaman 7/1, Fitting of blinkers did the trick when opening account for this yard in 10-runner handicap at Bangor (23f) in October. Raised 10 lb and not an obvious follow-up contender given profile.
1
4th (1) (5/1 +44%) Blue Hussar
5
5/1(+44%)
(1) Blue Hussar 5/1, Course winner who was pulled up in 2m York handicap on Flat in September and produces a laboured effort back hurdling at Kelso a month ago. This does at least represent a drop in class.
10
5th (10) (3.33/1 +26%) Blaster Yeats
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(10) Blaster Yeats 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who offered a bit more when fourth over an inadequate 2m at Hexham 17 days ago. Upped markedly in trip and he's more interesting than most.
5
6th (5) (9/1 +0%) Presence Felt
9
9/1(+0%)
(5) Presence Felt 9/1, Winless since 2018 but still plenty of zest about him despite advancing years judged on latest third in a first-time tongue strap at Carlisle last week.
7
7th (7) (18/1 -13%) Court Baloo
18
18/1(-13%)
(7) Court Baloo 18/1, Scored at Hexham in September but that very much a stand out effort this season, dropping away at Kelso a month ago.
4
|PU| (4) (40/1 +39%) He's A Goer
40
40/1(+39%)
(4) He's A Goer 40/1, Very likely needed the run on October's return from 13 months off but even so, still didn't achieve enough to make him of interest.

(6) The Bosses Oscar 3/1, Promising sort. 5/2, didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner minor event hurdle at Thurles (22.7f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(1) Fifty Ball 2.5/1, €60,000 buy after winning pair of French bumpers last autumn. Shaped well in a couple of Fontwell novices prior to making a successful handicap debut at Ascot (19.3f) last time. Has more to offer.
8
2nd (8) (4/1 +27%) Naizagai
4
4/1(+27%)
(8) Naizagai 4/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat and bright start to hurdles career when making all at Cartmel in August. Not in same form at Uttoxeter but back on track when second at Ludlow since.

1.88
1.88/1(+25%)
(4) Frenchy Du Large 1.88/1, Placed all 4 starts in bumpers (fair form) and took a small step forward from hurdling debut when second in a Uttoxeter maiden (19.9f) 3 weeks ago, keeping on well. Remains unexposed.

3
3/1(+10%)
(2) Chasamax 3/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler who ran his best race when third of 17 in Cheltenham handicap (16.4f) 22 days ago, edged out late on. That form has been franked since, so he seems sure to go well again.

5th (5) (40/1 -186%) Coastal Drift
40
40/1(-186%)
(5) Coastal Drift 40/1, Showed fair form when third in a Plumpton novice hurdle in January 2019. Not seen since disappointing on handicap debut at Fontwell the following month, but worth a market check all the same.

0.8
0.8/1(+47%)
(3) Exploiteur 0.8/1, Has improved switched to handicaps this season, runner-up on return at Bangor prior to going one better at Ffos Las (21.9f) recently. 8 lb rise fair enough and another bold show anticipated.
6
2nd (6) (3/1 -50%) Gustavian
3
3/1(-50%)
(6) Gustavian 3/1, Winner of an Exeter maiden on hurdles debut in January. Solid second in a first-time hood (discarded here) on handicap debut at Fontwell (19.2f) last month and claims if coping with this new trip.

3rd (4) (9/1 +10%) Trixster
9
9/1(+10%)
(4) Trixster 9/1, Three-time hurdles winner who was a promising third at Hexham on sole start/chase debut last term. Shaped better than distance beaten on Ffos Las reappearance back in this sphere and merits respect.

5
5/1(-11%)
(1) The Captains Inn 5/1, Winner of novice hurdles at Leicester and Uttoxeter during 2018/19 campaign. Missed whole of last season, but yard in good form and he's one to note in the betting on this handicap debut.

12
12/1(+14%)
(12) Vieux Lion Rouge 12/1, 2016 Becher Chase winner. Cashed in on a falling mark at Chepstow in October 2019, but hasn't come close to that since, albeit he may have needed his reappearance here in October.
5
2nd (5) (12/1 -71%) Kimberlite Candy
12
12/1(-71%)
(5) Kimberlite Candy 12/1, Excellent second in this race (from the foot of the weights) a year ago and responded really well when a wide-margin winner of the Classic Chase at Warwick. Off since but revised mark is justified.
11
3rd (11) (5/1 +0%) Le Breuil
5
5/1(+0%)
(11) Le Breuil 5/1, Smart staying chaser who landed NH Chase at Cheltenham in 2019. Promising first go over these fences when seventh from 9 lb higher in this a year ago and should be spot on with return under his belt.
15
4th (15) (28/1 +15%) Calipso Collonges
28
28/1(+15%)
(15) Calipso Collonges 28/1, Just the one win to his name over the larger obstacles and it's hard to make a compelling case for him from 3 lb out of the handicap on return from a year off.
10
5th (10) (25/1 +0%) Smooth Stepper
25
25/1(+0%)
(10) Smooth Stepper 25/1, Better than ever at the age of 11 when snapping a near 2-year losing run in Grand National Trial over 3½m at Haydock in February. Matched that form on reappearance and step back up in trip will help.
13
6th (13) (33/1 -18%) Joe Farrell
33
33/1(-18%)
(13) Joe Farrell 33/1, Won 2018 Scottish National winner from 2 lb lower. Performed with credit in defeat last term but a brace of heavy defeats upon return in October raise a fair few questions.
4
7th (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Ramses De Teillee
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(4) Ramses De Teillee 6.5/1, Enhanced good strike rate and better than ever in process when narrowly seeing off Yala Enki at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. Well held in 2019 Grand National but well worth another go over these fences.
2
8th (2) (28/1 -27%) Jett
28
28/1(-27%)
(2) Jett 28/1, Very smart effort when landing 6-runner Grade 2 chase at Punchestown in October 2019. Couple of heavy defeats this term and this is probably on the limit of his stamina.
7
|F| (7) (5/1 +0%) Walk In The Mill
5
5/1(+0%)
(7) Walk In The Mill 5/1, Excels over these fences, winning this the last 2 seasons. Looked rusty on reappearance but this race clearly his target and by no means handicapped out of things in re-fitted cheekpieces.

7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(1) Yala Enki 7.5/1, Resumed winning ways over 28f at Taunton in January and matched the very pick of his form when narrowly denied on reappearance at Cheltenham. Very smart effort required on debut over these fences.
3
|F| (3) (14/1 +30%) Aso
14
14/1(+30%)
(3) Aso 14/1, Placed twice in the Ryanair but didn't look the force of old last season. Plugged on for seventh in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and this the longest trip he's encountered.
14
|U| (14) (8/1 +11%) Coo Star Sivola
8
8/1(+11%)
(14) Coo Star Sivola 8/1, No stranger to big-field handicap wins having landed the Ultima at Cheltenham in 2018. Struggled for form the following season but shaped with quite a bit of promise on belated return. Interesting.
9
|U| (9) (14/1 +0%) Calett Mad
14
14/1(+0%)
(9) Calett Mad 14/1, Prolific over hurdles in 2017/18 and improved his form over fences the following season as stamina was drawn out, despite failing to add to tally. In good hands but off since January 2019.
6
|U| (6) (16/1 +0%) Minellacelebration
16
16/1(+0%)
(6) Minellacelebration 16/1, Better than ever when getting up in the dying strides to land Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in July and improved again when readily following up in a veterans' event here in October. Clearly thriving.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(8) Nearly Perfect 2.5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who opened his account in 25f Wincanton novice handicap chase before creditable third in 3m Ascot handicap 10 months ago. Not ruled out if back fully tuned up after his absence.

5
5/1(+55%)
(7) Chef D'oeuvre 5/1, Fairly useful staying chaser in 2018/19. Off 20 months and had wind op before well held when unseating rider last in 3m handicap chase at Ayr on return. Tongue strap on now with work to do.

18
18/1(-80%)
(2) Theligny 18/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who signed off for last term with maiden chase success at Ffos Las 9 months ago. Made mistakes when beating only one in Sedgefield handicap on return so has it to prove now.
5
4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Breaking Waves
6
6/1(+25%)
(5) Breaking Waves 6/1, Unreliable chaser for Noel Williams. Off 10 months and had wind op before unseating rider back straight in 22f handicap at Newbury on yard debut 7 days ago. Others appeal more.
6

2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(6) Templehills 2.75/1, Resumed with 21f Stratford success before good third of 11 in 19f handicap there last time. Effective over further so he's much respected off same mark.

4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(3) One Style 4.5/1, Made it 5 handicap wins in a row when scoring at Ludlow (3m) last term but looked rusty after 8 months off when pulled up at Aintree on return. Yard among the winners now and sort to bounce back.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(10) Sempo 12/1, Useful 23f winner over hurdles who signed off with good sixth of 19 to Monkfish in 3m Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Interesting recruit to chasing so not dismissed.

4.5/1(+55%)
(3) Conflated 4.5/1, Useful chaser. Excellent second of 18 in novice chase at Punchestown (19.7f, heavy, 8/1) 21 days ago. Firmly in the mix once more.

3.5
3.5/1(+56%)
(9) Opposites Attract 3.5/1, Matched the pick of his useful hurdles form sent chasing when placed at Punchestown and Fairyhouse this term. May do better still so considered.

0.53
0.53/1(+15%)
(11) The Big Getaway 0.53/1, Smart winning hurdler who posted fine third of 12 to Envoi Allen in 21f Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on final run. Winning pointer is a most exciting recruit to chasing so the one to beat.

40
40/1(+20%)
(8) Mr Hendricks 40/1, Fairly useful 20f winning hurdler. 50/1, encouraging sixth of 11 in novice chase at Naas (19f, heavy) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Open to progress so place claims.
6
5th (6) (100/1 -203%) Face The Odds
100
100/1(-203%)
(6) Face The Odds 100/1, Fair maiden hurdler, unsuited by drop in trip when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) 23 days ago. Makes chase debut and no forlorn hope.
4
6th (4) (25/1 -25%) Dinny Lacey
25
25/1(-25%)
(4) Dinny Lacey 25/1, Fairly useful chaser. 25/1, promising fourth of 14 in minor chase at Fairyhouse (21f, heavy) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Likely to do better so he's one for the shortlist.
5
7th (5) (12/1 -20%) Exit Poll
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Exit Poll 12/1, Useful 2m hurdle winner. Unseated on chasing bow but promising second of 11 in minor chase at Wexford (16f, soft) 40 days ago. Up in trip and has more to offer, especially if improving his jumping.
2
8th (2) (200/1 -33%) Big Debates
200
200/1(-33%)
(2) Big Debates 200/1, Modest hurdler. 66/1, tenth of 14 in minor event chase at Cork (21f, heavy) 13 days ago. Big step forward is needed.

(1) Argumental 40/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24f, heavy). Makes chase debut with plenty on his plate.

150
150/1(-127%)
(7) Ferocious 150/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 50/1, faded late after 8 months off when seventh of 10 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Should do better.

200
200/1(-100%)
(13) Nothinbuttime 200/1, €3,000 3-y-o, Stowaway mare. Winning pointer who makes chasing debut here so no forlorn hope and market can guide.

1st (4) (2/1 +20%) Allmankind
2
2/1(+20%)
(4) Allmankind 2/1, One of the best juvenile hurdlers around last season and put in a flawless round of jumping when coasting home on chase debut at Warwick. Open to improvement in this sphere and he's the one to beat.
6
2nd (6) (2.75/1 +0%) Hitman
2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(6) Hitman 2.75/1, Hurdles winner for Guillaume Macaire in France and came home in splendid isolation on chase debut for new yard at Ffos Las last month. Armed with plenty of potential and he has to be feared.
5
3rd (5) (5.5/1 +15%) Ga Law
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(5) Ga Law 5.5/1, French recruit who has made a very good impression switched to fences this season, making it 3-3 in this sphere in a Wincanton Grade 2 last month. Probably capable of better still and merits respect.
1
4th (1) (3/1 +10%) Eldorado Allen
3
3/1(+10%)
(1) Eldorado Allen 3/1, Useful over hurdles and perfect start over fences at Newton Abbot in October. Fortuitous winner of a Cheltenham Grade 2 next time (held when left well clear 2 out), but commands respect nonetheless.

11
11/1(+8%)
(2) Phoenix Way 11/1, Winner of 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles and successful start to chase career when landing a 3-runner Warwick novice (2m) 17 days ago. Clearly a smart prospect, but this is a much tougher assignment.

5
5/1(+0%)
(10) Secret Reprieve 5/1, Course novice hurdle winner in 2018. Bettered that form in 3 runs over fences last winter and yet to be asked for effort when coming down at the twelfth at Haydock on return. One to consider.
2
2nd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) The Two Amigos
4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(2) The Two Amigos 4.5/1, Likeable stayer who produced a highly encouraging return with third in a handicap at Bangor, giving best late having made the running. Should be spot on now, so bold bid expected.
8
3rd (8) (28/1 -155%) Bobo Mac
28
28/1(-155%)
(8) Bobo Mac 28/1, Winning hurdler/chaser who was second of 3 in a novice chase at Wetherby 8 months ago. Will likely be tuned up but doesn't have much in hand. Has had a wind op.

5.5
5.5/1(+45%)
(6) Yalltari 5.5/1, One-time useful chaser who has seemingly had problems since early 2019 and has plenty to prove having been pulled up at Bangor last time.
4
5th (4) (14/1 -100%) Captain Drake
14
14/1(-100%)
(4) Captain Drake 14/1, Second in Midlands National on final outing last term. Career-best to score on return over hurdles at Uttoxeter (23.3f) but turned in a lacklustre effort back in this discipline at Cheltenham since.
11
6th (11) (8/1 -33%) Captain Tommy
8
8/1(-33%)
(11) Captain Tommy 8/1, Fairly useful chaser who has been a creditable second on 2 of his last 3 outings. Could make an impact if he can cut out his customary mistakes.
7
7th (7) (3.33/1 +17%) Lamanver Pippin
3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(7) Lamanver Pippin 3.33/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who landed a C&D novice last season and makes plenty of appeal in first-time cheekpieces following an excellent third at Cheltenham on reappearance.
1
8th (1) (25/1 -25%) Domaine De L'Isle
25
25/1(-25%)
(1) Domaine De L'Isle 25/1, Enjoyed a productive time of it last season but has returned with a couple of dismal efforts, so hard to make a case for in a competitive event.
5
|PU| (5) (9/1 -29%) Deise Aba
9
9/1(-29%)
(5) Deise Aba 9/1, Better than ever when landing Masters Handicap at Sandown in February and not disgraced in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham subsequently. His jumping went at Haydock on reappearance, though.
3
|PU| (3) (18/1 +18%) Saint Xavier
18
18/1(+18%)
(3) Saint Xavier 18/1, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser who fared as well as could be expected when seventh in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby on his penultimate outing but fell at Haydock since and mark demands improvement.
9

22
22/1(-83%)
(9) Jepeck 22/1, Won 3 times last season. Not in quite same form on final 2 starts, though and pulled up at Sandown on return.
LTO Selection:
13:57 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(11) Talking About You 14/1, Initially failed to build on Fontwell success in September, but improved when making virtually all the running at Ludlow (15.8f) last time. This is tougher, but she's not without each-way hope.
3
2nd (3) (18/1 -157%) Her Indoors
18
18/1(-157%)
(3) Her Indoors 18/1, Opened account on the Flat at Lingfield (11.6f) in September and found just one too good upped to 13.3f on the AW next time. Bound to have been well-schooled ahead of this hurdles debut.
7

1.25
1.25/1(+17%)
(7) Megan 1.25/1, Useful on the Flat in Germany and impressive start over hurdles when scoring at Leicester (15.5f) 19 days ago. Looks a smart prospect and should take this step up in class in her stride.
5
4th (5) (33/1 +0%) High Moor Flyer
33
33/1(+0%)
(5) High Moor Flyer 33/1, Little impact on the Flat, but promising start in this sphere when a clear second to Megan at Leicester (15.5f) last month. However, it's hard to envisage her turning the tables on that rival here.
2
5th (2) (4.5/1 +55%) Bellatrixsa
4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(2) Bellatrixsa 4.5/1, Sold out of Michael Dods' yard for 80,000 gns after landing a 16.2f handicap on the Flat in October. Bred for this game (half-sister to useful hurdler Daybreak Boy) and she's an intriguing contender.
10
6th (10) (12/1 +25%) See The Eagle Fly
12
12/1(+25%)
(10) See The Eagle Fly 12/1, Perfect start to hurdles career when scoring at Fontwell (17.7f) last month in October, but she was put firmly in her place when fourth to Megan at Leicester (beaten 21 lengths) next time.
1
7th (1) (22/1 -120%) Army Of One
22
22/1(-120%)
(1) Army Of One 22/1, Modest maiden on Flat in Germany for S. Richter, best effort at 11f. Probably flying too high on this hurdles debut.

250

(6) Lightning Blue 250/1, Very modest maiden on the Flat and beaten a fair way starting out over hurdles for new connections at Wetherby (2m) in October. Tongue strap applied.

100
100/1(-25%)
(12) Ten Thousand Stars 100/1, Winner the on Flat for Adrian Nicholls at 2 yrs. Promising hurdles debut when third at Sedgefield in August, but subsequent Perth effort was rather underwhelming and she looks up against it here.
4

6
6/1(+20%)
(4) Hiconic 6/1, No great shakes on the Flat but has taken very well to hurdles, winning first 4 starts in this sphere. Creditable second in this grade at Wetherby (2m) last time and should give another good account.

6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(9) Scholastic 6.5/1, Multiple winner on the Flat and did the job well when opening hurdles account at Punchestown in September. Solid effort back on the level last time and she's a live each-way contender.

(2) Altruism 6/1, Looked more straightforward than has been the case when cashing in on a career-low mark at Newcastle under this rider in March and creditable return when runner-up at Cartmel. Player.

6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Thor De Cerisy 6/1, Off the mark over hurdles in a Newcastle maiden last season but looked a difficult ride next 3 starts, so something to prove on return.

5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Fin And Game 5/1, C&D winner and creditable 4 lengths third to Fransham at this C&D after 10 months off 36 days ago, well positioned. Lightly raced for his age and headgear given a whirl.

2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(5) Stainsby Girl 2.25/1, Bumper winner and consistent over hurdles prior to making most of a good opportunity in Newcastle novice (heavy) in March. Improved again to defy penalty at Hexham on return and needs considering.

14
14/1(+36%)
(7) Ilaya 14/1, Dual 2m winner last term who (40/1) returned with good fifth of 9 in handicap over C&D. Disappointed back here 3 weeks ago, however, so needs to bounce back.

1.38
1.38/1(+0%)
(5) Politologue 1.38/1, Had no Altior to contend with when resuming winning ways on the biggest stage in the Champion Chase in March, dominating from the outset. Won this in 2017 (bled last year) and should go well.

2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(4) Greaneteen 2.5/1, Lost his unbeaten record over fences with a luckless defeat in the Grand Annual but returned with a huge effort to win the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter, quickening up well. Could have even more to offer.
6
3rd (6) (3/1 +33%) Rouge Vif
3
3/1(+33%)
(6) Rouge Vif 3/1, Highly progressive novice chaser who looked very good when demolishing useful field in 2m Cheltenham handicap chase on return. Place claims, though wouldn't want any more rain.

10
10/1(+17%)
(3) Castlegrace Paddy 10/1, A notch below the very best in this division but returned with a cracking display to win Navan Grade 2 under this rider, jumping well. More on his plate now.

18/1(-29%)
(2) Brewin'upastorm 18/1, Successful first 2 starts over fences last term before caught out by inexperience in the Arkle. Didn't jump great and well beaten on return at Carlisle and faces stiff task in first-time tongue tie.

1st (9) (2.25/1 +63%) Ask Me Early
2.25
2.25/1(+63%)
(9) Ask Me Early 2.25/1, Winning pointer who has shown promise when twice third over hurdles, lacking pace to challenge over 20f at Ffos Las on his return. Longer trip will really suit so no forlorn hope now going chasing.
3
2nd (3) (7/1 +13%) Lord Napier
7
7/1(+13%)
(3) Lord Napier 7/1, Useful staying hurdler at his best. 50/1, much better effort over fences this term when fourth of 10 in 20f Aintree handicap 28 days ago. This stiffer test of stamina will suit so he's shortlisted.
2
3rd (2) (3.2/1 +42%) Thomas Macdonagh
3.2
3.2/1(+42%)
(2) Thomas Macdonagh 3.2/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made promising start over fences when fourth in 21f Stratford novice on return, fading late as lack of run told. Form has been franked so not taken lightly back up in trip.
7
4th (7) (6/1 +76%) Good And Hardy
6
6/1(+76%)
(7) Good And Hardy 6/1, Dual winning 3m hurdler last season but off track 9 months for chasing debut now. Yard in great nick but he still needs to hit the ground running.
1
5th (1) (4.5/1 +40%) Burrows Park
4.5
4.5/1(+40%)
(1) Burrows Park 4.5/1, Consistent staying handicap hurdler who looked rusty after 8 months off for chasing bow when sixth of 10 in 20f Aintree handicap. This return to further will suit so considered for yard among winners.
5
6th (5) (7.5/1 -25%) Lies About Milan
7.5
7.5/1(-25%)
(5) Lies About Milan 7.5/1, Lightly-raced point winner who was promising runner-up in 3m Huntingdown maiden on chasing bow last winter. Only fair fourth after wind op in Hereford novice on return though so bit to prove here.
8

66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Small Farm 66/1, Point/hurdle winner for Willie Mullins but well held both completed start over fences last season and fared little better on debut for new yard when pulled up in Uttoxeter handicap. Hard to warm to.

16/1(+36%)
(5) Lake View Lad 16/1, Likeable and consistent chaser who has held his own in top-end handicaps but faces a stiff tast up in grade after 10 months off.

1.62
1.62/1(-8%)
(3) Santini 1.62/1, Top-class chaser who improved further last season and signed off with a gutsy second in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. Goes well fresh, so should take all the beating.
2
3rd (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Native River
2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(2) Native River 2.25/1, 2018 Gold Cup winner who looked as good as ever when bolting up in this event last term. Landed Denman Chase at Newbury on sole subsequent appearance, so big effort expected back from 10 months off.
1
4th (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Frodon
2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(1) Frodon 2.25/1, Admirable sort who is argaubly still getting better based on his wire-to-wire reappearance win in a handicap at Cheltenham. Perhaps saves his best for that track but respected nonetheless.

25
25/1(+50%)
(4) Keeper Hill 25/1, Smart but clumsy chaser who has been below his best on both outings this term and is hard to make a solid case for even eased in grade (out of depth in Betfair Chase last time).

7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(12) Rock On Barney 7.5/1, Looked on the up when comfortably landing a double in October and has been handed more of a break on the back of a disappointing effort. Well capable of taking a hand if he's back in form.
7
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +36%) Who's In The Box
4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(7) Who's In The Box 4.5/1, Winning pointer who stepped up on his hurdling exploits when an encouraging second at Southwell on chasing/handicap debut at Southwell. Strong claims if he can build on that.

14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Big Nasty 14/1, Has improved since switched to chasing but was let down by his jumping (also found to have bled) when last seen at Doncaster 9 months ago and is liable to need this return.
1
4th (1) (7/1 -40%) Orrisdale
7
7/1(-40%)
(1) Orrisdale 7/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who is still lightly raced and warrants consideration having been brought down at Southwell on his chasing debut recently.
6
5th (6) (14/1 -75%) Grange Ranger
14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Grange Ranger 14/1, Ex-pointer who has proved better over fences than hurdles and was a respectable second over C&D on return. Mark demands a bit more, though.
9
6th (9) (5.5/1 -57%) Kings Cave
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(9) Kings Cave 5.5/1, Winning pointer who improved from hurdling debut when runner-up in a novice at Hexham last time and should take another step forward now handicap chasing upped in trip. One to consider.
11
7th (11) (40/1 -43%) Iwasthefutureonce
40
40/1(-43%)
(11) Iwasthefutureonce 40/1, Point winner and fair over hurdles. Yet to complete over fences under Rules, though, unseating at Sedgefield on reappearance.
5
8th (5) (12/1 -20%) Bako De La Saulaie
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Bako De La Saulaie 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who seems hard to train these days and came up short despite being strong in the betting at Kelso last time. Others preferred.
8
9th (8) (18/1 -50%) Eurowork
18
18/1(-50%)
(8) Eurowork 18/1, Winning pointer at fourth attempt and has hit the frame over hurdles the last twice. Type to do better now chasing, so not easily discounted for all his mark demands more.
10
|U| (10) (7/1 +13%) Mance Rayder
7
7/1(+13%)
(10) Mance Rayder 7/1, Bounced back to best to capitalise on a falling mark in 12-runner event at Doncaster 7 days ago but 8 lb higher now and not certain to be in the same mood.
4

9
9/1(+50%)
(4) Uptown Harry 9/1, Winner of 22f Kelso maiden hurdle last season before signing off with promising second in handicap over C&D on debut over fences. Not at best so far this term, though.
3

12
12/1(-20%)
(3) Mon Palois 12/1, Landed a handicap chase at Stratford in August but has looked laboured on both subsequent outings, so needs a short break to have freshened him up.

11

4.5/1(-13%)

1st (16) (20/1 +20%) Beau Bay
20
20/1(+20%)
(16) Beau Bay 20/1, Fairly useful chaser who resumed after 9 months off with respectable fifth in Wetherby handicap chase (19.4f) 21 days ago. Third in this event 12 months ago off 2 lb lower mark so firmly in the mix.
19
2nd (19) (33/1 +18%) Sir Jack Yeats
33
33/1(+18%)
(19) Sir Jack Yeats 33/1, Fairly useful hunter chaser who landed 3m handicap chase at Fakenham 50 days ago, just hold on having been left clear last. Handles these fences but needs more from 3 lb out of the handicap.
3
3rd (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Modus
7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(3) Modus 7.5/1, Very smart chaser who defied 16-month absence with ready 8l win in 20f handicap chase here last month. Back up 9 lb and can make mistakes but he's still not taken lightly in current mood.
9
4th (9) (12/1 +25%) Flying Angel
12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Flying Angel 12/1, Very capable performer when on song but he showed little when pulled up in 3m Ascot handicap on comeback. Course winner here and also fourth in this race 12 months ago but others are more persuasive.
7
5th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Springtown Lake
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(7) Springtown Lake 5.5/1, Produced a career-best effort to score over 20f at Warwick in February and returned with good second in 20f handicap here last month. Goes well on soft so a player off unchanged mark.
8
6th (8) (8.5/1 +29%) Sametegal
8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(8) Sametegal 8.5/1, Veteran has returned in good form, cheekpieces on when third of 10 in 3m handicap chase at Sandown 27 days ago. Also third in this in 2017 off 2 lb higher mark so he's well worth considering.
13
7th (13) (7/1 +42%) Senior Citizen
7
7/1(+42%)
(13) Senior Citizen 7/1, Has made good start over fences and followed 21f novice win at Newton Abbot with second of 6 at Huntingdon (19.9f) 34 days ago. Not ruled out on handicap bow if he takes to these fences.
15
8th (15) (5/1 +17%) Didero Vallis
5
5/1(+17%)
(15) Didero Vallis 5/1, Dual winner over fences in 2018 and not disgraced after 10 months off when sixth in 3m Ascot handicap on return. Fifth in this contest 12 months ago off 2 lb higher so big player for in-form yard.
1
9th (1) (16/1 -60%) Lord Du Mesnil
16
16/1(-60%)
(1) Lord Du Mesnil 16/1, Developed into smart staying handicap chaser last season, winning 3 times, and he should be spot on after recent comeback fourth over hurdles at Kelso. Trip is on sharp side so more rain the better.
18
|F| (18) (16/1 +27%) Swift Crusador
16
16/1(+27%)
(18) Swift Crusador 16/1, Fairly useful chaser who ended last term with good second in 20f hunter chase at Wincanton 9 months ago. Still quite low mileage so no forlorn hope on comeback despite being 1 lb out of the handicap.
12
|F| (12) (80/1 -142%) Touch Kick
80
80/1(-142%)
(12) Touch Kick 80/1, Useful chaser at best for Paul Nicholls but not seen out since failing to stay 3m when fourth at Kempton 10 months ago. Sixth in this 12 months ago but needs to hit the ground running for new yard.
4
10th (4) (12/1 +25%) Crievehill
12
12/1(+25%)
(4) Crievehill 12/1, Kicked off last term with wins at Wetherby/Haydock but mark suffered and well beaten twice after. Possibly in need of return in Old Roan Chase and sixth in this event back in 2018 so no forlorn hope.
11
11th (11) (40/1 -21%) Pink Eyed Pedro
40
40/1(-21%)
(11) Pink Eyed Pedro 40/1, Likeable chaser who arrives better than ever, scoring at Chepstow (19.5f) before excellent third in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. Much respected nudged up just 1 lb.
6
12th (6) (40/1 -60%) Caid du Lin
40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Caid du Lin 40/1, Sole win last term came in 2m Ludlow handicap in December. Not disgraced after 9 months off when fourth of 7 in 2m Ascot handicap on return but has stamina to prove and others appeal more.
14
13th (14) (66/1 -65%) Amalfi Doug
66
66/1(-65%)
(14) Amalfi Doug 66/1, Better than ever when gaining fifth victory at Perth in September but fell first at Kelso next time and pulled up in Ayr handicap last time. Has work to do.
2
|PU| (2) (11/1 +31%) Might Bite
11
11/1(+31%)
(2) Might Bite 11/1, Top-notch chaser in his pomp, scond in 2018 Gold Cup. Looked a shadow of his former self last season but more encouraging signs when fifth on return at Ascot. Not ruled out if taking to these fences.
10
|PU| (10) (16/1 -14%) Dingo Dollar
16
16/1(-14%)
(10) Dingo Dollar 16/1, Useful chaser at his best but winless since 2018 and beat only one over hurdles at Uttoxeter on his return. Since had wind op and cheekpieces back on now so not totally dismissed.
17
|PU| (17) (33/1 +0%) Federici
33
33/1(+0%)
(17) Federici 33/1, Cashed in on a reduced mark at Cartmel in July and resumed winning ways at Carlisle 44 days ago. Has good course form to his name too so veteran is not dismissed.

0.33
0.33/1(+59%)
(1) Eileendover 0.33/1, Flat-bred filly who bolted up on debut in a Huntingdon bumper (13.7f) last month. Will prove hard to beat under a penalty.
6
2nd (6) (50/1 -100%) Haute Estime
50
50/1(-100%)
(6) Haute Estime 50/1, Walk In The Park filly. Dam unraced sister to moody but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Buachaill Alainn. Yard's record in bumpers in recent seasons is pretty modest (8% strike rate).
11
3rd (11) (25/1 -108%) Splashing
25
25/1(-108%)
(11) Splashing 25/1, Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler Crystal Pearl and fair hurdler Dee Cee Elle, while dam was a 15f winner. Worth a second look in the betting.
12
4th (12) (8.5/1 +15%) Surooj
8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(12) Surooj 8.5/1, 13,000 gns 3-y-o. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Ghadaayer and half-sister to 2 winners. Dam 7f winner who stayed 1½m. Yard 4-10 in this discipline and market check advised.
2
5th (2) (11/1 -22%) Alchemystique
11
11/1(-22%)
(2) Alchemystique 11/1, Recent Warwick debut was not devoid of promise, but sizeable step forward needed if she's to emerge on top here.
8
6th (8) (50/1 +0%) Howzat Hiris
50
50/1(+0%)
(8) Howzat Hiris 50/1, Al Namix filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Easter Gold, stays 19f. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Countess Olivia.
4
7th (4) (28/1 +15%) Ebony Girl
28
28/1(+15%)
(4) Ebony Girl 28/1, Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut.
10
8th (10) (33/1 -32%) Rock On Sweetie
33
33/1(-32%)
(10) Rock On Sweetie 33/1, Nayef filly. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat. Dam unraced. Yard 2-26 in bumpers in recent seasons and this filly will probably come on for the run.
7
9th (7) (8/1 -33%) Hoopmalassie
8
8/1(-33%)
(7) Hoopmalassie 8/1, Useful middle-distance Flat pedigree and showed some ability when third on debut in 1¾m Warwick bumper 17 days ago (Alchemystique back in third). Solid each-way chance.
3
10th (3) (50/1 -127%) Countess Olivia
50
50/1(-127%)
(3) Countess Olivia 50/1, Half-sister to 3 winners on the Flat, including useful 1½m-2m winner Nuits St Georges. Interesting to see what the market has to say.
9
11th (9) (40/1 -186%) Redwing Lass
40
40/1(-186%)
(9) Redwing Lass 40/1, Maxios filly. Half-sister to minor US winner by Mizzen Mast. Dam useful French/US 9f winner. Tongue strap enlisted for this debut and, like stablemate Haute Estime, she's probably worth taking on.
5
12th (5) (125/1 -400%) Elysees Dream
125
125/1(-400%)
(5) Elysees Dream 125/1, Didn't show enough on debut at Market Rasen in October to suggest that she'll play a leading role in this contest.

0.8
0.8/1(+20%)
(5) Kilcruit 0.8/1, Shaped encouragingly when runner-up in Clonmel bumper on debut for Anthony Mullins in March. Has since transferred to Willie Mullins and is open to improvement. Leading claims.
6

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(6) Killer Mode 5.5/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam unraced out of fairly useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Zayta. Newcomer who makes strong appeal.

4
4/1(-20%)

1st (8) (4.5/1 +55%) Benson
4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(8) Benson 4.5/1, Bumper winner who has upped his game over hurdles this term, scoring on both outings. Latest success (at Hereford) has been boosted since, so makes appeal now handicapping in a tongue strap.
9
2nd (9) (10/1 +0%) Galice Macalo
10
10/1(+0%)
(9) Galice Macalo 10/1, Got the better of subsequent winner Marada at Warwick in October and followed up in even more stylish fashion at Stratford. Unlikely to have reached her limit, so one to note from fair opening mark.
4
3rd (4) (1.5/1 +14%) Mister Coffey
1.5
1.5/1(+14%)
(4) Mister Coffey 1.5/1, Well-regarded 5-y-o who is most progressive over hurdles and had a good deal up his sleeve when landing a C&D handicap last time. Still ahead of his mark and looks the one to beat.
7
4th (7) (12/1 +0%) Rosie And Millie
12
12/1(+0%)
(7) Rosie And Millie 12/1, Front runner who produced her best effort to date when second at Ascot last time but faces competition for the lead and is vulnerable to less-exposed types.
1
5th (1) (7.5/1 +25%) Solo
7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(1) Solo 7.5/1, Made highly impressive British debut when landing the Adonis at Kempton last term and, while both subsequent runs have been sub-par, he may find this easier in handicaps for the first time.
5
6th (5) (18/1 -64%) Nickolson
18
18/1(-64%)
(5) Nickolson 18/1, Winner of sole start in bumpers and made a successful hurdles debut at Wincanton last October. Has improved on both subsequent outings but handicapper hasn't taken any chances with opening mark.
6
7th (6) (9/1 -20%) Jolly's Cracked It
9
9/1(-20%)
(6) Jolly's Cracked It 9/1, Fragile 11-y-o but still retains a pretty useful level of ability as indicated by a smooth-travelling fifth at Aintree on reappearance. Drop in trip could suit, so not totally discoutned.
2
8th (2) (12/1 -33%) Eglantine Du Seuil
12
12/1(-33%)
(2) Eglantine Du Seuil 12/1, Smart hurdler for Willie Mullins and made a reasonable start for new stable when fifth at Wincanton on return. Should be spot on now, so she's an intriguing contender.
3
9th (3) (16/1 -33%) Totterdown
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Totterdown 16/1, Useful hurdler who ended last season with a good third at Sandown and now returns to this sphere after being let down by his jumping over fences.
10
10th (10) (80/1 -60%) Let The Heirs Walk
80
80/1(-60%)
(10) Let The Heirs Walk 80/1, Useful-looking gelding who defied a penalty after 8 months off to score at Warwick (2m) on return. Underwhelming run in a novice at Hereford subsequently, though and more required back in handicap.

20
20/1(+39%)
(7) Servo 20/1, C&D winner showed a bit more than previously this season when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, but still needs to show more before becoming of interest.

(6) Broken Rifle 7/1, Good third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/1) 46 days ago. Should continue in form.

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.
