11:53 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (4/1 +43%) Rath An Iuir	4 4/1(+43%)	(4) Rath An Iuir 4/1, Useful chaser at his best but operates below that level nowadays, though did step up on his reappearance when fifth of 9 in handicap chase (10/1) at Carlisle (24.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Others preferred.
7 2nd (7) (9/1 +25%) Glittering Love	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Glittering Love 9/1, Largely campaigned over fences in recent seasons, notching fifth success in that sphere at Carlisle last December. Shaped as if better for the run on return over timber at this track 5 weeks ago and he could be in the mix back over the larger obstacles.
11 3rd (11) (6/1 +14%) Morozov Cocktail	6 6/1(+14%)	(11) Morozov Cocktail 6/1, Ended last term with win in 6-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f) 8 months ago and predictably looked rusty on his return to action at Catterick just under 6 weeks ago. Blinkers back on today and should be much closer to form.
9 4th (9) (14/1 +50%) Prince Dundee	14 14/1(+50%)	(9) Prince Dundee 14/1, Enhanced excellent record at Hexham when landing 6-runner handicap over 3m in June. Not in quite the same form back from 4 months off over C&D in October and turned in a rare poor effort back at Hexham just over 6 weeks ago. Bounce back required.
5 5th (5) (8.5/1 -143%) Hold The Note	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(5) Hold The Note 8.5/1, Finally took advantage of a much-reduced mark after 5 months off at this course (23.4f, soft, 14/1) 25 days ago, rallying to lead run-in. That was a tough race but he should be in the mix with a repeat effort.
6 6th (6) (2.5/1 +29%) Camp Belan	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(6) Camp Belan 2.5/1, Back on the up when second at Ayr in October and built on that promise back up in trip when winning over C&D 5 weeks ago, leading 2 out and just kept up to his work. 3 lb rise fair and he's fancied to be in the shake-up.
1 \|R\| (1) (5.5/1 -57%) Smackwater Jack	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(1) Smackwater Jack 5.5/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who made an encouraging start over fences when second in a 25f handicap at Aintree in October 2020. Caught the eye following over 2 years off when fifth at Chepstow earlier this month and he has to enter calculations with an experienced amateur booked.
2 \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -27%) Juge Et Parti	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) Juge Et Parti 14/1, Did well in handicap chases last season, winning twice over 3m. Recent hurdling return at Wetherby was presumably a pipe-opener (had a wind op in the interim) and he should be much closer to form today with the cheekpieces back on.
8 \|PU\| (8) (16/1 -14%) Donna's Delight	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Donna's Delight 16/1, Lightly raced since scoring twice in early 2020 but he failed to take a step forward from his reappearance at this course (32.4f, soft) earlier this month so now has questions to answer all of a sudden.
3 \|PU\| (3) (33/1 +18%) Thunderosa	33 33/1(+18%)	(3) Thunderosa 33/1, Just the one standout effort over fences so far and having been well backed, proved to be a disappointment at Down Royal (26.2f, good) 8 months ago. Back from a point spin for new yard but others preferred.
10 \|PU\| (10) (50/1 -52%) Along Long Story	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Along Long Story 50/1, Made a winning chasing debut at Thurles back in March but little to shout about since (including over hurdles when last seen 7 months ago). Has since left Sean Aherne and a watching brief is advised.

8 \|U\| (8) (5/1 +75%) Fameaftertheglory	5 5/1(+75%)	(8) Fameaftertheglory 5/1, Promising sort. Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap chase (9/2) at Naas (20f, soft) 47 days ago. Not discounted.
13 \|U\| (13) (6.5/1 +24%) Temptationinmilan	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(13) Temptationinmilan 6.5/1, Winner in chase at Listowel in September. Good second of 11 in handicap chase (3/1) at Punchestown (24.8f, soft) 10 days ago, sticking to task. Should give another good account.
15 10th (15) (4.5/1 -50%) Arctic Ambition	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(15) Arctic Ambition 4.5/1, Promising type. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 4/11) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Remains with potential in this sphere and should play a part.
6 11th (6) (11/1 -22%) Gateau De Miel	11 11/1(-22%)	(6) Gateau De Miel 11/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner novice chase (15/8) at Fairyhouse (23.9f, heavy) 51 days ago by 12 lengths from Politicise, cruising clear. Obvious chance again.
11 12th (11) (16/1 +27%) Millen To One	16 16/1(+27%)	(11) Millen To One 16/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap chase (22/1) at Naas (20f, soft) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not completely dismissed.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/1 -33%) Moon Hunter	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Moon Hunter 4/1, Comfortably off mark in points at second attempt and made a successful debut over hurdles with a bit up his sleeve at Wetherby (19.7f) 47 days ago. Sure to improve and highly respected under a penalty.
2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +50%) Theatre Man	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(2) Theatre Man 2.25/1, Showed fair form when placed both starts in bumpers. Proved no match for the useful Hermes Allen on his Stratford hurdling debut but showed improved form to go one better at Hereford (19.7f) 36 days ago, unchallenged. Likely to progress further.
9 3rd (9) (12/1 -33%) Hermino Aa	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Hermino Aa 12/1, Made an encouraging start to his career when second of 8 in bumper (6/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good) 40 days ago. Upped in trip for hurdles debut and one to consider.
7 4th (7) (2.5/1 -33%) Hands Off	2.5 2.5/1(-33%)	(7) Hands Off 2.5/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Scorpion Sid. Failed to meet market expectations when mid-field in a Warwick bumper but fared much better sent hurdling when runner-up at Ascot (19.3f) 41 days ago. Sure to improve.
3 5th (3) (6/1 +40%) Val Dancer	6 6/1(+40%)	(3) Val Dancer 6/1, Runner-up in a bumper and made second hurdles start a winning one at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 33 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Penalty makes life harder but he's open to further progress.
14 6th (14) (300/1 -20%) Bear A Hand	300 300/1(-20%)	(14) Bear A Hand 300/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle.
11 7th (11) (18/1 +10%) Lunar Contact	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Lunar Contact 18/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt in May and shaped like a stayer when third of 7 in maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, heavy, 6/4) on Rules debut 42 days ago. Entitled to do better.
16 8th (16) (66/1 -164%) Walk In The Storm	66 66/1(-164%)	(16) Walk In The Storm 66/1, Confirmed her debut promise at the second attempt when landing a Newcastle bumper in January. Struggled in listed/Grade 2 company thereafter but should have a future over obstacles.
6 9th (6) (33/1 +0%) Coachman	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Coachman 33/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and bought for £140,000 after but was well held on his hurdling debut at Chepstow just over a year ago.
13 \|PU\| (13) (14/1 +44%) Scene One	14 14/1(+44%)	(13) Scene One 14/1, Third in a well-contested novice at Newbury in March and filled same position in a similar event at Lingfield on his return. However, went backwards at Leicester last time (possibly amiss).
8 \|PU\| (8) (33/1 -83%) Heads Or Harps	33 33/1(-83%)	(8) Heads Or Harps 33/1, Successful on the second of 2 starts in points but failed to meet expectations switched to Rules when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Worcester back in October. Clearly thought capable of better.
12 \|PU\| (12) (80/1 -142%) Prince De Juilley	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Prince De Juilley 80/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and shaped better than the bare result when well held on Market Rasen hurdle debut. Should do better in time, most likely in handicaps.
10 \|PU\| (10) (150/1 -127%) Largy Train	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Largy Train 150/1, Strong in the betting when making a winning bumper debut for Stuart Crawford in May 2021. Swamped for pace faced with less testing ground under a penalty at Wetherby in March and has since left Paul Nicholls for £26,000.
4 \|PU\| (4) (200/1 -100%) Barley Breeze	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Barley Breeze 200/1, Hasn't shown enough in bumpers to warrant interest on hurdling debut.
5 \|PU\| (5) (250/1 -100%) Bob Delaney	250 250/1(-100%)	(5) Bob Delaney 250/1, Looked in need of the experience when well held in Southwell bumper on debut 18 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.

7 2nd (7) (20/1 +75%) Carrig Cathal	20 20/1(+75%)	(7) Carrig Cathal 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. First run since leaving Patrick G. Kelly when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy, 100/1) 44 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.
9 3rd (9) (18/1 +55%) Three Loud Knocks	18 18/1(+55%)	(9) Three Loud Knocks 18/1, Unreliable type. One win from 25 NH runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap chase at Thurles (24.3f, good to soft, 22/1) 11 days ago.

12:28 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (7.5/1 -15%) Schalke	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(6) Schalke 7.5/1, Suited by stepping up in trip when scoring at Market Rasen and Catterick last season. Didn't take to chasing at Market Rasen in November, but fared better back hurdling when a narrow runner-up at Musselburgh earlier this month.
5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 -209%) Charm Offensive	8.5 8.5/1(-209%)	(5) Charm Offensive 8.5/1, Ended last season with back-to-back victories at Ayr and improved further when scoring at the same course (20.4f) last month under Bruce Lynn. Can give another good account back up in trip.
12 3rd (12) (12/1 -41%) Lissen To The Lady	12 12/1(-41%)	(12) Lissen To The Lady 12/1, Enhanced her fine course record when landing third C&D success during the spring. After 6 months off, caught the eye when fifth of 10 here (25.8f) last month, finishing with running left. Could be ready to return to winning ways.
11 4th (11) (11/1 +73%) Nights In Venice	11 11/1(+73%)	(11) Nights In Venice 11/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level in trio of maiden/novice hurdles earlier in the year. After 9 months off, finished down the field on handicap debut at Ayr (20.3f) a month ago. Looks to be up against it.
8 5th (8) (6/1 +45%) Deluxe Range	6 6/1(+45%)	(8) Deluxe Range 6/1, Posted one of better efforts when second of 4 in handicap at Hexham (23.3f) in June. Has failed to complete both starts since returning from 4 months off, though. Only success came over C&D, although that came in a novice 2 years ago.
7 6th (7) (2/1 +56%) Inis Oirr	2 2/1(+56%)	(7) Inis Oirr 2/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and showed plenty on Rules debut when third at Hexham in October. Improved on that effort when second at Haydock (24.3f) the following month, clear of rest. Respected on handicap bow.
9 7th (9) (20/1 -25%) Leostar	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Leostar 20/1, Won twice over hurdles in 2020/21, including at this course (20.9f), and encouragement after 19 months off when third on chasing bow here (23.4f) in November. Went backwards from that effort next time, but on a workable mark back hurdling.
4 8th (4) (16/1 -45%) Big Bad Bear	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Big Bad Bear 16/1, Ended last season with handicap wins at Newcastle and Perth, and lost out only narrowly at Market Rasen (20.6f) in October. However, not in the same form when down the field at Doncaster last month. Bounce back called for.
3 9th (3) (40/1 -100%) Enemy Coast Ahead	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Enemy Coast Ahead 40/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who landed a hat-trick of novice events in summer 2020. Only 4 starts since, running well after 3 months off when second of 4 in handicap at Ayr (21.4f) in April. Off further 9 months having since left Olly Murphy.
1 \|PU\| (1) (4.5/1 +50%) Emitom	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(1) Emitom 4.5/1, Grade 2 winning hurdler in 2020 and, having been given a chance by the handicapper, proved he retains ability after 7 months off when fourth of 11 at Lingfield (23f) in November. Capable of getting involved with cheekpieces back on.
10 \|PU\| (10) (20/1 -100%) Firth Of Forth	20 20/1(-100%)	(10) Firth Of Forth 20/1, Showed improved form when runner-up in maiden hurdles at Newcastle and over C&D at the beginning of the year. However, reportedly lost action when pulled up on handicap debut at Catterick in March. Needs to get back on track after 9 months off.
2 \|PU\| (2) (80/1 -186%) Guiri	80 80/1(-186%)	(2) Guiri 80/1, Placed over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland in August/September, before leaving Jessica Harrington since a lesser run at Gowran last time. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations now setting out for a new stable after 3 months off.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (80/1 -21%) Monty's Star	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Monty's Star 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, fourth of 7 in bumper at this course (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 9 months ahead of this hurdles debut and steps up in trip. Tag Man is clearly the stable No 1.
7 1st (7) (4.5/1 -100%) Good Land	4.5 4.5/1(-100%)	(7) Good Land 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner under Rules. Fairly useful bumper winner. 10/3, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. Up in trip.
11 2nd (11) (5/1 +38%) Tag Man	5 5/1(+38%)	(11) Tag Man 5/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 10/3, fourth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 47 days ago. Open to progress now upped in trip and very much a player for a yard that boasts a good recent record in this maiden.
10 3rd (10) (4/1 +0%) Search For Glory	4 4/1(+0%)	(10) Search For Glory 4/1, 4/9, won 6-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 44 days ago, forging clear. Looks a decent prospect and could have a part to play on this hurdles bow.
5 4th (5) (3/1 +50%) Embassy Gardens	3 3/1(+50%)	(5) Embassy Gardens 3/1, Promising type. 5/6, second of 10 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 39 days ago. This step up in trip should be in his favour and obvious claims.
8 5th (8) (3/1 +0%) Madmansgame	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Madmansgame 3/1, Bumper winner at Navan in February. Off 8 months and up in trip for this hurdles debut. Interesting that Paul Townend seemingly prefers him to Embassy Gardens and the market should be revealing. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
2 6th (2) (100/1 +0%) Away To Sea	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Away To Sea 100/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 20 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft, 33/1) 30 days ago. Up in trip.

12 9th (12) (12/1 +45%) Transmission	12 12/1(+45%)	(12) Transmission 12/1, Promising individual. Third of 7 in bumper at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy, 7/4) on bumper debut 42 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and upped in trip. Likely to improve.
14 10th (14) (150/1 -88%) Skinnider	150 150/1(-88%)	(14) Skinnider 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Eighth of 11 in bumper (14/1) at Thurles (15.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and moves up in trip.
6 11th (6) (18/1 -80%) Golden Wonder's	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Golden Wonder's 18/1, Promising sort. 11/1, second of 7 in bumper at this course (16f, good to soft). Off 9 months and switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip and may well do better.
3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -100%) Bring Us Paradise	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Bring Us Paradise 200/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 25/1) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code.

4 1st (4) (2.75/1 -10%) Haddex Des Obeaux	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(4) Haddex Des Obeaux 2.75/1, Dual winning hurdler who built on his encouraging chase debut when second of 10 in handicap chase at Kempton (18f, good to soft, 11/4) 52 days ago. Winner has franked form since and he holds strong claims.
9 2nd (9) (16/1 -78%) Coastguard Station	16 16/1(-78%)	(9) Coastguard Station 16/1, Dual winning pointer who improved on his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in 5-runner handicap over C&D (good) 34 days ago, cruising clear. This is much tougher but he should have more to offer. 1 lb out of the weights.
7 3rd (7) (50/1 +0%) Nero Rock	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Nero Rock 50/1, Took a while to get off the mark over fences but it all clicked during the spring with back-to-back Sedgefield wins in May. However, limitations seemingly exposed since and looks vulnerable to less exposed types. Visor on first time.
2 4th (2) (3.33/1 +33%) Datsalrightgino	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(2) Datsalrightgino 3.33/1, Fairly useful hurdler who has taken well to fences this autumn, taking 2m Chepstow novice handicap last month and staying on late when third in warm Newbury contest (16.4f, good) latest. Should go well again.

6 6th (6) (4/1 -33%) Moriko De Vassy	4 4/1(-33%)	(6) Moriko De Vassy 4/1, Successful sole bumper start and on his first 2 completed starts over hurdles. Back on track with a promising chase debut when second at Wetherby (15.2f, good) last month, likely to have won but for late mistakes. Leading contender.
8 \|F\| (8) (14/1 +13%) Dargiannini	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Dargiannini 14/1, Dual winning hurdler in 2021 and posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat for Paul Nicholls last term. However, not seen since pulling up at Newbury in spring and likely best watched on yard/chase debut.
5 \|U\| (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Call Of The Wild	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(5) Call Of The Wild 4.5/1, Won sole bumper start and 2 of his 5 starts over timber. Respectable third on return at Ascot in October and remains low mileage so worth a second look in market on chasing bow.

1 2nd (1) (2.25/1 +44%) Jetoile	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(1) Jetoile 2.25/1, Useful winning hurdler who shaped well on chase debut when second at Uttoxeter in October. Disappointed at Cheltenham next time, but back on track when third at Carlisle last month. Interesting on handicap bow with tongue strap applied.
8 3rd (8) (9/1 +10%) Treshnish	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Treshnish 9/1, Hexham specialist who was back to winning ways there last month. Again ran well when finding only an improved rival too strong at Southwell 18 days ago. Not dismissed lightly in current mood.
5 4th (5) (7/1 +61%) Franigane	7 7/1(+61%)	(5) Franigane 7/1, Looked a useful hurdling prospect when scoring at Wetherby last February and wasn't seen to best effect when runner-up at Hexham the following month. Has 21-month absence to overcome as he makes chase/handicap debut.
3 \|PU\| (3) (2.5/1 +9%) Donny Boy	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(3) Donny Boy 2.5/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (20f) on chase debut in October, racing freely. Open to improvement with the drop back in trip to suit.

After another 18 months off, well held on chase debut at Ayr (16.5f) in October. Others more persuasive back over hurdles.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.5/1 -65%) Arclight	1.5 1.5/1(-65%)	(1) Arclight 1.5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, good fourth in a competitive 1½m Newmarket handicap when last seen in October. Very much of interest on hurdles debut for top jumps yard.
7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 +52%) Greyval	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(7) Greyval 3.33/1, Twice a winner over 1½m in France and, though well held the last twice (subsequently picked up for €36,000 in November), she has joined a respected yard as she embarks on this new vocation. One to note in the betting.
10 3rd (10) (4/1 +11%) Pretending	4 4/1(+11%)	(10) Pretending 4/1, Winner of a Southwell novice and subsequently performed with credit in a couple of handicaps at up to 1¾m for Sir Mark Prescott this year. Changed hands for 44,000 gns in October and she's an intriguing candidate now tackling hurdles.
5 4th (5) (8/1 +33%) Eclairant Le Monde	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Eclairant Le Monde 8/1, Showed ability in 4 starts on the Flat and likewise in a handful of runs over hurdles, most recently finishing second in an 8-runner Catterick juvenile (15.7f). Likely she'll need to improve on that in order to win this but she should at least have a part to play.
4 5th (4) (11/1 -10%) Chicago Gal	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Chicago Gal 11/1, Not as good as some of these on the Flat and was sold out of Alan King's yard for just 1,500 gns in October. However, she made a decent start over hurdles when runner-up in a 15.7f Catterick juvenile and claims here if able to build on that.
6 6th (6) (125/1 -25%) French Romance	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) French Romance 125/1, Fair form on just one of her 4 starts on the level and hasn't shown much spark in a couple of appearances over hurdles to date.
8 7th (8) (11/1 -10%) Lady Valentine	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Lady Valentine 11/1, Successful as a 2-y-o on the Flat for Tom Dascombe and placed on a few occasions in handicaps for Hugo Palmer at up to around 1¾m this year. Stamina won't be an issue now switched to hurdles and she's a worth a second look.
3 \|U\| (3) (100/1 +0%) Birdie Putt	100 100/1(+0%)	(3) Birdie Putt 100/1, Winless following 5 attempts on the level for the Johnstons and changed hands for just 2,000 gns earlier this month. Hard to warm to now switched to hurdles.
2 \|PU\| (2) (22/1 -83%) Ardbraccan	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Ardbraccan 22/1, Fairly useful 7f Flat winner for Richard Hannon. Got no further than the first flight in a juvenile hurdle at Catterick (15.7f) on debut in this sphere last month, so there are now concerns with regard to both her jumping and stamina.

7 (7) (16/1 +11%) Donna's Double	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Donna's Double 16/1, Newcastle bumper winner who added to his tally when a fortunate winner of 2m novice hurdle there in early February. Not given a hard time when third of 7 in novice chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 43 days ago. Open to progress.
3 1st (3) (2.75/1 +31%) Bill Baxter	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(3) Bill Baxter 2.75/1, Showed benefit of recent wind-op when producing a career best to score in 12-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Up 5 lb but should prove suited by this longer trip and remains open to improvement.
10 2nd (10) (3/1 +10%) Old Painless	3 3/1(+10%)	(10) Old Painless 3/1, Winning pointer raced only 3 times over hurdles and looked a different proposition when bolting up on chase debut in 6-runner handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft, 4/1) on debut over fences 9 days ago. The one to beat under a penalty.
5 3rd (5) (9/1 +36%) Captain Quint	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Captain Quint 9/1, Looked a good prospect when scoring at Hexham on his chasing bow but ran just respectably behind a pair of upwardly-mobile rivals at Ayr last time. Remains hard to fully rule out.
8 4th (8) (3/1 +25%) Ned Tanner	3 3/1(+25%)	(8) Ned Tanner 3/1, Dual novice hurdle winner last term and showed a good attitude to get off the mark to win 4-runner handicap chase at this course (23.4f, soft, 7/2) 25 days ago. Should have more to offer.
11 5th (11) (10/1 +29%) Readysteadybeau	10 10/1(+29%)	(11) Readysteadybeau 10/1, Encouragement when third at Ayr on chase debut but looked rather laboured when only fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, soft, 7/4) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
6 6th (6) (25/1 +0%) Le Cheval Noir	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Le Cheval Noir 25/1, Fairly useful hurdle winner failed to match that form in 3 starts over fences last season and looks opposable on return under young conditional.
12 7th (12) (33/1 +18%) No Regrets	33 33/1(+18%)	(12) No Regrets 33/1, Fairly useful at best over hurdles but he hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts switched to this sphere since returning from a lengthy layoff.
9 8th (9) (10/1 +44%) Universal Folly	10 10/1(+44%)	(9) Universal Folly 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler scored twice at around 2m last season and encouraging start over fences when chasing home a progressive type on return at Doncaster (19f, good). Open to improvement in this sphere.
4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 +0%) Brayhill	11 11/1(+0%)	(4) Brayhill 11/1, Produced a likeable performance when making a successful start over fences here (23.4f) in November and went like the best horse at the weights until his jumping deserted him in 5-runner event here last time. This race is deeper but he's respected in first-time headgear.

1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Erne River	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Erne River 6.5/1, Dual novice hurdles scorer and over fences at Doncaster and Wetherby last season. Back on track when second in a minor chase at Haydock last time and not discounted back over hurdles.
6 3rd (6) (40/1 -43%) Kansas City Chief	40 40/1(-43%)	(6) Kansas City Chief 40/1, Veteran who showed he retains ability at Wetherby on reappearance but was struggling a long way out at Cheltenham a couple of months ago. Others preferred.
4 4th (4) (1.5/1 +20%) Walking On Air	1.5 1.5/1(+20%)	(4) Walking On Air 1.5/1, Well-bred 5-y-o who looked potentially smart in making a winning start over hurdles in a 2m novice at Newbury in January.

3 2nd (3) (3/1 +40%) Annie Mc	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Annie Mc 3/1, Smart mare on her day but disappointing when only third to Zambella returning from a long absence at Carlisle last month. Could strip fitter for that.

3 6th (3) (12/1 +0%) Wild Polly	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Wild Polly 12/1, Fairly promising novice a few seasons back she was a well-held third at Catterick when last seen in February 2021. Well-being has to be taken on trust ahead of this comeback/handicap debut.
2 7th (2) (2.2/1 +2%) Phillapa Sue	2.2 2.2/1(+2%)	(2) Phillapa Sue 2.2/1, Placed all 4 starts in bumpers in Ireland and similarly consistent since hurdling in Britain, making a winning handicap debut at Hereford on her reappearance 5 weeks ago. Raised 8 lb but there could easily be more to come. Much respected.
6 8th (6) (33/1 -50%) Reve De Niamh	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Reve De Niamh 33/1, Runner-up in a Taunton bumper back in January (only outing for Fergal O'Brien). Has run to just a modest level in novice hurdles this season but brings potential to this handicap debut with cheekpieces added. One to note in the market.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (14/1 +13%) Restitution	14 14/1(+13%)	(3) Restitution 14/1, Bagged handicap hurdles at Fakenham in March and Hexham in June. However, he found disappointingly little when down the field at Warwick last month and needs a revival now.
2 2nd (2) (7.5/1 +58%) Trolley Boy	7.5 7.5/1(+58%)	(2) Trolley Boy 7.5/1, Bumper winner for Ed Bethell last winter and reappeared to make a successful start over hurdles for his new yard at Worcester in July. Better form when second in Wincanton novice 4 months later. Only seventh in handicap back there since but it's clearly still early days.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 -71%) Fostered Phil	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Fostered Phil 12/1, Landed a Newcastle maiden in November 2020 and shaped as if retaining all ability after 2 years off when second on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m, soft) 38 days ago. Hood back on. Another in this line-up with the potential for better.
9 4th (9) (14/1 +44%) Hiconic	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Hiconic 14/1, Won 4 juveniles in summer 2020 but has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps on the Flat or over hurdles since returning from an absence, although she likely didn't stay 20.5f at Huntingdon last time and being eased another 4 lb can only help.
5 5th (5) (4/1 -14%) Surtitle	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Surtitle 4/1, Cemented positive start made in bumpers to make a winning hurdle debut at Newbury in February. Similar form when third there 7 weeks later. Surprise if there isn't more to come given his lightly-raced profile. Very interesting contender on handicap debut.
7 6th (7) (3.33/1 +5%) Matchless	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(7) Matchless 3.33/1, Fairly useful Flat performer for Ivan Furtado. Winning start in this sphere at Newcastle (2m) last month and even better form when chasing home the promising Rare Edition (won again at Kempton on Boxing Day) over this C&D 33 days ago. Interesting runner.
6 7th (6) (16/1 +0%) Sorbet	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Sorbet 16/1, Likeable type who ran up to her best after 6 months off when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft) last month. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth in a stronger race at Huntingdon since.
12 8th (12) (8/1 +60%) Red Vision	8 8/1(+60%)	(12) Red Vision 8/1, Winner of a pair of novice hurdles in March but hasn't been able to make a significant impact in his 3 handicap starts this season (beaten around 20 lengths when placed). Mark on the slide but others arrive with more pressing claims.
1 9th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Glory And Honour	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(1) Glory And Honour 7.5/1, Gained sole hurdles success in a Huntingdon maiden for Tom Lacey back in November 2020 but he's won twice on the Flat since joining this yard and made a sound return to hurdles when third in C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie back on. Respected.
10 10th (10) (7.5/1 +6%) Stroll On By	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(10) Stroll On By 7.5/1, Well-bred 5-y-o who ran to a fair level in bumpers last season. Placed in maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn and unexposed now making a quick switch to handicap company. Tongue tied first time.
4 11th (4) (22/1 -175%) Kracka Nut	22 22/1(-175%)	(4) Kracka Nut 22/1, Bumper winner who also struck on Market Rasen hurdle debut/reappearance in October. Never involved when last of 4 finishers in a Wetherby introductory event since but retains potential now handicapping.

8 2nd (8) (8.5/1 -6%) Daafy	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(8) Daafy 8.5/1, Four-time course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 15/2) 9 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Due to go up 2 lb and should be on the premises once again.
9 3rd (9) (8/1 +20%) Bearing Bob	8 8/1(+20%)	(9) Bearing Bob 8/1, 8/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap on debut for new yard at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago, pushed out. Up just 2 lb and merits consideration.
11 4th (11) (33/1 -18%) Possible Ambition	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Possible Ambition 33/1, 18/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago. Visor on 1st time and, having dropped back to his last winning mark, he will be a threat if the new headgear works the oracle.
5 5th (5) (14/1 +0%) Nine Elms	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Nine Elms 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in August. 16/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. One to consider off the same mark.
4 6th (4) (40/1 -100%) Al Suil Eile	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Al Suil Eile 40/1, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 33/1) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks vulnerable.
12 7th (12) (11/1 -38%) Dubai Jeanius	11 11/1(-38%)	(12) Dubai Jeanius 11/1, 9/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Each-way shout off the same mark.
7 8th (7) (14/1 -75%) Whatwouldyouknow	14 14/1(-75%)	(7) Whatwouldyouknow 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 13/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago, finding little. Definite chance here, provided he finds more when push comes to shove than he did last time.
13 9th (13) (150/1 -275%) Desert Cat	150 150/1(-275%)	(13) Desert Cat 150/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 28/1, sixth of 8 in seller at Leicester (7f, good) 79 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eric Alston and looks set for another struggle.
2 10th (2) (40/1 -21%) Mudlahhim	40 40/1(-21%)	(2) Mudlahhim 40/1, 66/1, 7¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Zealot in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Clearly has work to do.
10 11th (10) (40/1 -43%) Kingwell	40 40/1(-43%)	(10) Kingwell 40/1, 7/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive on balance.
3 12th (3) (150/1 -88%) Second Kingdom	150 150/1(-88%)	(3) Second Kingdom 150/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this course (12.1f) 23 days ago. Significantly down in trip and blinkered for 1st time. Best to look elsewhere.

2 2nd (2) (1.88/1 +16%) Dubai Immo	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(2) Dubai Immo 1.88/1, Fairly useful colt. Blinkered for 1st time, below form third of 6 in minor event (4/9) at this course (7.1f) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and strong form claims, albeit that odds-on reverse does sound a note of caution.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 -56%) Southwold	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Southwold 7/1, Won 5-runner minor event at Newcastle (8f, 15/8) on debut 58 days ago, keeping on well. More will likely be needed if he's to follow up under a penalty but he should have more to offer. Yard also saddles Glam Puss.
10 4th (10) (12/1 +64%) Now Then Wendy	12 12/1(+64%)	(10) Now Then Wendy 12/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 9 in bumper (40/1) at Newcastle (16.2f, standard). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving L J Morgan and it could be that she will be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line.
4 5th (4) (28/1 +30%) He's So Brazen	28 28/1(+30%)	(4) He's So Brazen 28/1, Unreliable type. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2) 24 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time and big step forward needed.
3 6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Heretic	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Heretic 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 3/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 40 days ago. Didn't look entirely at home on the track that day and each-way claims judged on previous Newcastle second.
8 7th (8) (200/1 -100%) Sonnysaurus	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Sonnysaurus 200/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 150/1, last of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 7 days ago. Readily passed over.
5 8th (5) (80/1 +0%) Heavens Light	80 80/1(+0%)	(5) Heavens Light 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 45 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind if he's to make an impact here.
6 9th (6) (11/1 +21%) John O'groats	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) John O'groats 11/1, Fair gelding. Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm, 18/1). Off 175 days and back down in trip for this tapeta debut. Looks vulnerable.
7 10th (7) (3.6/1 +55%) Muzaffar	3.6 3.6/1(+55%)	(7) Muzaffar 3.6/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event (16/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f), never nearer. Off 14 months (gelded in the interim) and he's entitled to come on for the run.

7 6th (7) (9/1 +36%) Twilight Kiss	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Twilight Kiss 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 10 in nursery at Kempton (8f, 40/1) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort after racing freely. Others perhaps possess greater scope for progress.
8 7th (8) (28/1 +44%) Corporate Raider	28 28/1(+44%)	(8) Corporate Raider 28/1, Some promise on first 2 outings but hasn't beaten a rival the last twice in visor, blowing the start when last of 12 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 56 days ago. Has since left Robert Cowell.
13 8th (13) (66/1 -136%) Little Red Dancer	66 66/1(-136%)	(13) Little Red Dancer 66/1, Showed first worthwhile form when fourth of 10 in nursery at this C&D (150/1) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter to improve on that position.
2 9th (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Noah David	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(2) Noah David 7.5/1, Ran creditably enough when fifth of 7 in nursery at Kempton (7f, 8/1) 22 days ago but looks fairly summed up by his mark at present.
4 10th (4) (7/1 -27%) Crocodile Roll	7 7/1(-27%)	(4) Crocodile Roll 7/1, Improved when a staying-on second of 10 on nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) 29 days ago. Certainly worth a try over this longer trip and holds good chance on form.
3 11th (3) (6/1 -9%) Hiatus	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Hiatus 6/1, Well backed and ran his best race when second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 7 days ago. Interesting if progress continues back in nursery.

1 4th (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Twilight Madness	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(1) Twilight Madness 2.5/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Completed hat-trick in 10-runner handicap (evens) at this C&D 9 days ago, again travelling powerfully. Can defy a penalty in his current form.

6 7th (6) (6/1 +8%) Army Of India	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Army Of India 6/1, C&D winner. 6/1, backed up previous effort when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Going through a good spell at present.
5 8th (5) (28/1 -40%) Dusky Prince	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Dusky Prince 28/1, Completed hat-trick with success at Doncaster in July. Off 3 months, below form when seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Had more in hand than the bare result last time and remains well treated, so leading claims.
6 2nd (6) (9/1 +36%) Porfin	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Porfin 9/1, 4 wins from 29 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/2) 7 days ago, well positioned. Not an obvious type to follow up under a penalty.

12 12th (12) (28/1 -56%) Hackness Harry	28 28/1(-56%)	(12) Hackness Harry 28/1, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2), running on late. Has been off 2 years, so hard to know how much ability he retains, but he's worth a market check.
4 13th (4) (125/1 -89%) Mustaffiz	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Mustaffiz 125/1, 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Others are more persuasive.

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.
