1st (5) (8/15 +57%) Julius Des Pictons |
8/15(+57%) | (5) Julius Des Pictons 8/15, Fair form in bumpers in France and similar form when runner-up both outings over hurdles in 2023/24, beaten short neck on second occasion. Left M. Mescam for €120,000 and matched that form when runner-up at Uttoxeter a month ago, clear of rest. Sets pretty good standard. Ex-French 5yo who posted a solid effort at Uttoxeter on British debut; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -17%) Geturguccion |
7/2(-17%) | (7) Geturguccion 7/2, Runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers this spring. Bright start in this sphere when chasing home Dameofthecotswolds in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f) in October and that puts her right in this. Predominantly consistent mare; beat all bar the market leader at Ludlow most recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -10%) Golan Loop |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Golan Loop 11/1, £85,000 4-y-o, fourth foal: dam (h79), maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Amber Brook and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Medical Card. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 18) and joined a yard among the winners. Irish point winner; joined new connections for £85,000; heed the market signals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (33/1 -175%) Elysian Knight |
33/1(-175%) | (2) Elysian Knight 33/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Bred to stay well and shaped in kind in a trio of bumpers. No surprise he's upped in trip for hurdles debut. Related to two winning jumpers for his yard; could well progress now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 -57%) Go West |
11/2(-57%) | (4) Go West 11/2, Runner-up sole start in points and filled same spot in bumpers at Chepstow/Doncaster prior to getting it right at Wincanton in March. Brushed aside at Kelso a fortnight later but sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut. Bumper winner; likely player, provided he returns from long absence in top from. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (100/1 +0%) La Dolce Dolly |
100/1(+0%) | (8) La Dolce Dolly 100/1, Won sole start in Irish points (May 19) but was quickly left behind when third of 4 on hurdles debut over C&D a fortnight ago. Form of Irish point win is weak; modest third over C&D for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (200/1 -100%) Roxhill |
200/1(-100%) | (6) Roxhill 200/1, €9,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam unraced. Third on first of 2 starts in point bumpers but could never land a blow on last month's hurdles bow. Modest fourth at Wincanton on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (300/1 -275%) Court One |
300/1(-275%) | (1) Court One 300/1, €9,000 3-y-o, £20,000 4-y-o, first foal: dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdle winner/fair chaser (stayed 2¾m) Our Friend. Unseated rider sole start in Irish points and achieved very little on hurdles debut over C&D a month ago. Remote fourth over C&D on rules debut; poor claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JULIUS DES PICTONS ticks plenty of boxes having returned to action with a creditable second at Uttoxeter on his first start for Jamie Snowden. He found only Western Knight, a subsequent winner at Ascot too good that day, and could have the measure of Geturguccion on the strength of that form. The latter was no match for the winner when runner-up at Ludlow, but that was her first attempt over hurdles and another good account seems likely. The bumper winner Go West is also worth noting on his hurdling bow.
JULIUS DES PICTONS matched his French form when runner-up at Uttoxeter a month ago and a repeat of that may well enable him to go one place better. Geturguccion is a sold-looking opponent, while Go West is sure to be well prepared for this hurdles bow.
As regards the runners who already have hurdles experience, solid contenders JULIUS DES PICTONS and Geturguccion stand out.

Jasmine D'airy |
(4) (11/8 0%)11/8(0%) | (4) Jasmine D'airy 11/8, Runner-up both starts in points prior to readily landing a Tipperary bumper for Sam Curling 6 months ago. Has joined up-and-coming new yard (for £120,000) and she's a fascinating contender. Changed hands for £120,000 after 6l win in Tipperary bumper; brings lots of potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hollygrove Cha Cha |
(1) (13/8 -79%)13/8(-79%) | (1) Hollygrove Cha Cha 13/8, Won both starts in bumpers in the spring and overcame a few mistakes to remain unbeaten switched to hurdling at Ludlow 3 weeks ago (21.3f). Drop in trip not sure to suit but she's open to plenty of improvement. Made it 3-3 when winning on hurdle debut; could have plenty more left in the tank. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Followango |
(2) (6/1 +40%)6/1(+40%) | (2) Followango 6/1, Point/bumper winner who made the frame all 5 starts over hurdles during second half of last season, second of 7 in handicap at this course (20f) in April. Failed to complete sent chasing in October and quickly back over timber. Consistent in defeat last term; can give a good account but others may have more potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goddess Afrana |
(3) (10/1 +75%)10/1(+75%) | (3) Goddess Afrana 10/1, Fracas filly who ran to only a modest level in pair of bumpers at Newbury/Uttoxeter during the spring and well held sent hurdling at Chepstow last month. Fair efforts in her two bumpers in the spring but tailed off at 80-1 on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stylia |
(8) (12/1 +0%)12/1(+0%) | (8) Stylia 12/1, £30,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her completed start in Irish points in May 2024. Modest form when eighth of 12 in her bumper 3 weeks ago. Point runner-up; retains potential but she was well beaten on last month's bumper debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Polly Pi |
(7) (50/1 +67%)50/1(+67%) | (7) Polly Pi 50/1, Shaped with promise in both bumper starts but looks a longer-term project over hurdles. Not devoid of ability in bumpers but tailed off at big odds on both hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kiss Me Moon |
(5) (66/1 +56%)66/1(+56%) | (5) Kiss Me Moon 66/1, Ran to only a poor level in bumpers at Newbury/Stratford during the spring and always behind both hurdles outings. Tailed off at triple-figure odds on her two hurdle starts, both over C&D. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A winner of both starts in bumpers earlier this year, HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA was able to maintain her unbeaten record when sent over hurdles for the first time at Ludlow last month. Jamie Snowden's filly wasn't always foot perfect there but she asserted readily at the business end and natural progress can see her defy the penalty. Jasmine D'airy impressed when winning a Tipperary bumper in May and she's an interesting prospect now in the care of Harry Derham. Followango heads the remainder.
Having landed strong support in an Irish bumper in May, JASMINE D'AIRY changed hands for £120,000 and having transferred to a yard on the up, she rates a very interesting hurdles debutante. Hollygrove Cha Cha has already recorded a facile win over obstacles and is the obvious danger under a penalty.
Preference is for JASMINE D'AIRY who impressed in a bumper at Tipperary in May and now starts out for rising star Harry Derham.

Havaila |
(1) (5/2 +62%)5/2(+62%) | (1) Havaila 5/2, Scored over hurdles at Sandown in January. In good form on the Flat of late so he's much respected now going chasing. Not blindingly well treated on chase debut but Freddie Mitchell takes off handy 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Theonlywayiswessex |
(6) (11/4 -47%)11/4(-47%) | (6) Theonlywayiswessex 11/4, Opened his account over jumps in 17f handicap chase at Stratford (17f) in June. Posted a very good second of 8 over C&D 28 days ago. Leading claims off an unchanged mark. Solid second off top weight in Class 5 over C&D last time; respected off bottom weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ede'iffs Rock |
(5) (5/1 -11%)5/1(-11%) | (5) Ede'iffs Rock 5/1, Consistent sort who opened her account for the season here (20.5f) four weeks ago. Can make her presence felt going chasing. Back up 3lb for hurdle win here last time but Ben Ffrench Davis takes off 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bentley's Return |
(4) (7/1 +22%)7/1(+22%) | (4) Bentley's Return 7/1, A fair maiden hurdler but a below-par fourth in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, soft) when last seen 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running now starting out over fences. Seven-race maiden who has consistent form; possibilities if taking well to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Belgarum |
(2) (8/1 -14%)8/1(-14%) | (2) Belgarum 8/1, Scored emphatically over fences at Plumpton (2m4f) in September but well below par both runs since, tried in cheekpieces when beating only one at Sandown last time. Needs to bounce back. Very experienced for a novice chaser; won over C&D in September; now 10lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Givehimthehonour |
(3) (18/1 -350%)18/1(-350%) | (3) Givehimthehonour 18/1, A fair ex-Irish hurdler but pulled up on his fencing debut at Clonmel (22.8f, good) in June on his final run for Paul Nolan. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Ex-Irish 6yo who retains potential over fences (point winner); debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THEONLYWAYISWESSEX finished clear of the rest when runner-up over course and distance last month. Alan King's inmate looks up to winning off his current mark on that evidence and gets another chance. Ede'iffs Rock is only 3lb higher than when scoring over hurdles here on her latest outing and can feature if taking to the larger obstacles, while Givehimthehonour debuts for new connections and is worth a second glance on his second start over fences.
THEONLYWAYISWESSEX can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second so earns a confident vote here. Chasing newcomers Havaila and Ede'iffs Rock both bring potential and could emerge as the main dangers to Alan King's 6-y-o.
Solid-looking THEONLYWAYISWESSEX gets the vote, ahead of consistent Bentley's Return.

Jurancon |
(1) (5/4 -37%)5/4(-37%) | (1) Jurancon 5/4, Successful in Irish points and looked a good prospect when going 2-3 in bumpers at Hereford in March. Confirmed the promise of his opening second over hurdles when driven out to score at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, this trip should suit. Strong form on his two hurdle starts and he holds leading claims under a 6lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rosscahill |
(2) (9/4 +25%)9/4(+25%) | (2) Rosscahill 9/4, Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point in December. Landed the odds without impressing visually on debut over 21.9f here in October. Can progress given soft underfoot conditions. 2-2 (point/maiden hurdle); tougher opposition today but he's been impressive; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
King Of Thieves |
(4) (3/1 +14%)3/1(+14%) | (4) King Of Thieves 3/1, £30,000 4-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2½m) Whoshotthesheriff. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and shaped with promise when occupying same spot in a course bumper in March. Point/bumper runner-up; the step up in trip may suit; others have more substance to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alan De Banks |
(3) (10/1 -11%)10/1(-11%) | (3) Alan De Banks 10/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding who made a winning bumper debut at Newton Abbot and was also first past the post there in September (disqualified as ridden by banned jockey). Sound start over hurdles when fourth in a pretty deep C&D novice 3 weeks ago. First past the post in two bumpers and open to improvement on second hurdle start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JURANCON bumped into a useful sort when filling the runner-up spot at Worcester in October, before defeating a subsequent winner at Chepstow last month. David Pipe's gelding sets the standard with an official rating of 127 and will be hard to beat. Point winner Rosscahill made the perfect start to his career under Rules when on target over 2m6f here in October. Although he appears to be the main threat, hurdling debutant King Of Thieves should not be underestimated.
A quartet to view positively but the vote goes to JURANCON, who recorded win number 4 of his career at Chepstow a month ago and this sort of trip may unlock even more. Rosscahill probably needs soft ground given his action but he'll get that here and is feared most.
Two-time bumper winner JURANCON has made a very good start to his hurdling career and earns the vote ahead of Rosscahill.

Fromheretoeternity |
(1) (8/13 +62%)8/13(+62%) | (1) Fromheretoeternity 8/13, Progressive since joining this yard, landing a handicap at Worcester before easily following up in a Hexham novice. Turned over when odds on at Newcastle (20.3f, good) recently but this drop back in trip looks a good move and she needs considering. 2-2 in her 2m attempts for new yard; even with a double penalty, holds leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Korus |
(8) (10/3 -33%)10/3(-33%) | (8) Korus 10/3, Half-brother to 4 winners and, having shaped well on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers, this 4-y-o went close on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon (15.8f, good). Easy to pick holes in that form (the first 2 in the market misfired) but he's a big player nonetheless with improvement likely. Close second at Huntingdon on the switch to this sphere; nicely bred and may progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Confinentic |
(3) (10/1 +50%)10/1(+50%) | (3) Confinentic 10/1, Just minor promise on debut in a Worcester bumper in June but showed plenty to work on switched to hurdles when fourth of 14 in a Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) maiden last month. Likely to do better in due course. Has shaped with promise in bumper and maiden hurdle; frame possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fort St Angelo |
(5) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (5) Fort St Angelo 14/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and showed definite promise when runner-up on Rules debut in a Ludlow bumper (15.8f, good). However, he failed to perform to a similar level on subsequent hurdles bow at Newbury and yard saddles a more interesting candidate in Confinentic. Winner of Irish point and runner-up in bumper; modest fourth on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Master Dunraven |
(9) (16/1 -300%)16/1(-300%) | (9) Master Dunraven 16/1, Twice a winner of 1¼m handicaps on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh, including on his latest start at Leopardstown in October. Effective at up to 14.5f on the level, stamina shouldn't be an issue now sent hurdling and he's one to consider. Better than ever at Leopardstown on final Flat start for Johnny Murtagh; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Birthday Angel |
(2) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (2) Birthday Angel 20/1, Brother to useful hurdler Teqany (winner around 2m) and fairly useful hurdler Castel Gandolfo (winner around 2m). Fair maiden on Flat and showed aptitude for hurdling when third in a C&D novice in October before unseating at around the halfway point at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Others stronger. Ran encouragingly over C&D on hurdles debut; unseated rider at Kempton since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jack Sparrow Grey |
(7) (22/1 +33%)22/1(+33%) | (7) Jack Sparrow Grey 22/1, Mere glimmers of ability in a Sandown bumper and 20.5f novice here last winter. Probably capable of better but probably more one for handicaps in due course. Absent since distant seventh over 2m4f here last December; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dance In The Park |
(11) (33/1 -65%)33/1(-65%) | (11) Dance In The Park 33/1, Posted good second (with hood on) in a Fontwell bumper on NH debut. More encouragement than previously over hurdles when third at that course (17.7f, heavy) on latest start in March but she will need to up her game in order to emerge on top here. Best form when placed twice at Fontwell; recorded her worst effort at Plumpton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Voix De Bocelli |
(10) (66/1 -32%)66/1(-32%) | (10) Voix De Bocelli 66/1, Fair form in France for Francois Nicolle but has generally struggled for this yard. Inconsistent maiden on Flat and over jumps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eklil |
(4) (250/1 -150%)250/1(-150%) | (4) Eklil 250/1, Three-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much in a couple of runs in this sphere, beaten a country mile when third in a 4-runner C&D seller a fortnight ago. Beaten long way in C&D seller last time; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sally Mclennane |
(12) (250/1 -150%)250/1(-150%) | (12) Sally Mclennane 250/1, Limited impact in 3 starts so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Bit of promise in bumper last winter; dismal form this term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FROMHERETOETERNITY represents an in-form yard and makes plenty of appeal despite giving weight away to all of her rivals. Experience can win the day as she's 2-10 over timber and has improved markedly since cheekpieces were applied for this new stable. Korus went close to winning at Huntingdon on his debut over timber and will likely prove competitive, while Confinentic should have more to offer. An interesting import from Ireland, Master Dunraven is another to note.
KORUS would have won in another stride on his first go over hurdles at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago and can take this contest with improvement on the cards. Fromheretoeternity is a big player back over 2m, while Master Dunraven is an interesting recruit for Neil Mulholland.
This can go to FROMHERETOETERNITY who holds leading claims back down in trip despite the big penalty.

Grove Road |
(4) (5/6 -15%)5/6(-15%) | (4) Grove Road 5/6, Ended a losing run in a change of headgear in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in July. Followed from a 4 lb higher mark back from a break at Huntingdon (25f, soft) recently and while another 7 lb rise will ask a question of this 8-y-o, he's the one to beat all the same. 2-2 in this visor; remains well treated on his old form and holds leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Neo King |
(3) (11/4 -10%)11/4(-10%) | (3) Neo King 11/4, Multiple point winner and second in a hunter chase at Down Royal (19.5f) in March. Changed hands for £20,000 and has since posted encouraging efforts in maiden hurdles over 2¾m/2½m at this course, leaving the impression that he'll be suited by this stiffer test. Three-time point winner who makes handicap debut and is open to improvement; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clondaw Royale |
(2) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (2) Clondaw Royale 10/1, Winner of a Bangor maiden hurdle last December but it's been a struggle since (over fences on his last 3 starts) and needs to bounce back returned to this sphere. Pulled up over fences the last twice but not written off now back over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Siberian Star |
(6) (10/1 +70%)10/1(+70%) | (6) Siberian Star 10/1, Point winner in May but well held both subsequent starts between the flags and last win under Rules was gained back in December 2021. Won a point-to-point in May but has a modest strike-rate under rules; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lucky So And So |
(5) (10/1 -25%)10/1(-25%) | (5) Lucky So And So 10/1, Just one creditable performance last season and finished down the field on his reappearance at Lingfield last month. Struggled in the main last season but was second in March; could build upon recent effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Imperial Storm |
(1) (20/1 +20%)20/1(+20%) | (1) Imperial Storm 20/1, Bumper/ hurdle winner for Fergal O'Brien but off for 500 days prior to pulling up in a point in May and then ran poorly back under Rules recently in a Chepstow handicap hurdle. Well handicapped on winter 2022-23 form but just two starts since and he's struggled. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A few of these arrive with something to prove, but that can't be said for Grove Road, who won at Newton Abbot in July before following up on his return at Huntingdon recently. James Owen could hardly be in better form so he merits respect, but the vote goes to NEO KING. A multiple winner in the pointing scene on testing ground, he has shown signs of ability on both of his hurdle starts under Rules. Pitched into handicaps for the first time and stepped up to 3m, he can find the necessary improvement. Lucky So And So is also noted.
There could be better to come from NEO KING now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut and he is an appealing alternative to the hat-trick seeking Grove Road. By process of elimination rather than a vote of confidence, Clondaw Royale is taken to claim minor place money.
It is hard to look away from GROVE ROAD, who is 2-2 in the visor and remains well handicapped on his old form.

Through The Ages |
(5) (11/4 +66%)11/4(+66%) | (5) Through The Ages 11/4, Won back-to-back juvenile races at Newbury/this course at the turn of the year. Didn't progress in handicaps next 2 starts, but stepped up on this season's return when fifth of 9 at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Interesting back down in grade. Outstayed over 2m4f at Sandown but may see out the trip better at this course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Baltray |
(3) (4/1 +47%)4/1(+47%) | (3) Baltray 4/1, Off the mark at Hereford on second start over hurdles/for current yard last season. Also ran well on handicap debut when second at Fontwell (19.1f, good) in May, before pulled up at Bangor over fences in October. Not dismissed back hurdling. Didn't take to fences last time; has form figures of 212 over hurdles; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Macari |
(11) (9/2 +18%)9/2(+18%) | (11) Macari 9/2, Off the mark over hurdles in novices' handicap at this course (17.8f) in April. Better than ever back on the Flat since, scoring at Newbury in October, before a good second back hurdling over C&D (good to soft) last time. Could be in the mix. In-form 4yo; won on Flat last month; ran well over C&D on the return to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bertie B |
(2) (5/1 +23%)5/1(+23%) | (2) Bertie B 5/1, Improved when opening his hurdles account in novices' handicap at Hereford in February, before finding the test too much at Warwick the following month. Good second at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) on return on he can give his running again. Creditable second at Uttoxeter on reappearance; consistent since last winter; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Batwomen |
(4) (8/1 -167%)8/1(-167%) | (4) Batwomen 8/1, Having finished runner-up on first 2 starts over hurdles, made a successful switch to handicaps when winning in smooth fashion at Fontwell (19.1f, good to soft) in October. Leading contender with more to offer now that she's up and running. Record of 211, all at Fontwell, since switched to hurdles; may improve further; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stanley Pincombe |
(10) (12/1 -9%)12/1(-9%) | (10) Stanley Pincombe 12/1, Back to his best in 2023/24, successful at this C&D in November. Has shaped if in need of the run both outings this season, in contention 2 out before weakening at Kempton (21f, good to soft) in October. Could fare better this time around. The only C&D winner in this field but still has a bit to prove in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Irish Chorus |
(9) (18/1 -64%)18/1(-64%) | (9) Irish Chorus 18/1, Promise in her qualifying runs over hurdles, not ideally placed after 6 months off when third in maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in November. Unseated at the fourth at Hereford on handicap debut 5 days ago, so she remains with potential. Bred to be suited by this new trip and to do better yet; related to winners for her owner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inferno Sacree |
(6) (18/1 -100%)18/1(-100%) | (6) Inferno Sacree 18/1, Enjoyed a most productive spell when winning 5 times from 6 starts in first half of 2023. Largely struggled since but step back in right direction when runner-up at this course (15.9f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Well treated if he can build on that. Has a respectable record at about 2m here; something to prove back over 2m4f. |

(8) (22/1 -22%)22/1(-22%) | (8) Parikarma 22/1, Lost way for Gary Moore but revived at first time of asking for this yard when landing a Newton Abbot handicap (16.8f) in June. Fit from the Flat, fourth of 10 at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago, but task is now to back up her latest run. Hurdles form for current stable comprises a win in June and creditable fourth last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
New Ross |
(7) (80/1 -220%)80/1(-220%) | (7) New Ross 80/1, Fair hurdler at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien, winning handicap at Thurles (15.5f) in December 2022. However, he hasn't gone on from that effort, running poorly both starts the following summer. Has enough to prove for new yard after 16 months off. Record of 2-15 for Joseph O'Brien; returns from 16-month absence on debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Up The Straight |
(1) (100/1 -300%)100/1(-300%) | (1) Up The Straight 100/1, Fairly useful chaser at best who bounced back to form when third at Kempton (24f, good to soft) in May last year. However, offered little on 2 starts following a break, so others are more persuasive as he reverts to hurdling after 13 months off. On a very attractive mark but the betting may prove best guide; absent for 13 months. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BATWOMEN left the impression that she still had plenty more to offer when she scored cosily, despite showing signs of greenness, at Fontwell in October. Notably, that was only her third start over hurdles and a 5lb higher mark looks potentially lenient. Macari and Bertie B are solid options for the shortlist, although any support in the betting for recent course second Inferno Sacree would also be tempting.
BATWOMEN took a step forward making a quick switch to handicaps when getting off the mark at Fontwell on her latest outing, scoring with a bit in hand, so she looks capable of following up with further progress to come. Heading the list of dangers is Through The Ages as he drops back down in grade, with C&D winner Stanley Pincombe also considered.
With the new trip a possible source of improvement, IRISH CHORUS is preferred. Baltray is second choice.

Our Dylan |
(7) (9/4 +0%)9/4(+0%) | (7) Our Dylan 9/4, In good form during the spring, bagging handicaps at Hereford and Stratford. Has remained in good heart since, finding just one too good back from a break returned to Hereford (16.2f, good) last month, and he has to enter calculations. Won two in a row in the spring and has continued in good form since; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Holeshot |
(1) (9/2 -13%)9/2(-13%) | (1) Holeshot 9/2, Winless following 5 runs between the flags but has shown a good level of ability in both runs under Rules, latter finishing second in a 15.2f Wincanton novice. Very much of interest now pitched into a handicap off a fair-looking mark. Has made the frame on both hurdle runs; makes handicap debut and could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sabbathical |
(5) (7/1 +42%)7/1(+42%) | (5) Sabbathical 7/1, Scored over fences at Leicester last February and added another chase success to his CV at Bangor (17.4f, good) 2 months later. Absent since, though, and he's entitled to come on for the run. On a handy mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but has a hefty absence to defy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Opera King |
(4) (7/1 +0%)7/1(+0%) | (4) Opera King 7/1, Posted best effort in this sphere when creditable second of 9 at Market Rasen (18.5f, good to firm) in September. Has followed that with a couple of low-key efforts over 3m/21.7f but perhaps this drop back in trip will help him get back on track. Soundly beaten the last twice but this 4yo could be a contender now back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Port Or Starboard |
(2) (15/2 -7%)15/2(-7%) | (2) Port Or Starboard 15/2, Fair maiden on Flat who showed a good attitude to get off the mark in this sphere at Exeter last March. Placed all 6 subsequent starts and should be in the mix, provided he's ready to roll following 11 months off. Effective here and is on a handy mark, but returns from absence and has poor strike-rate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Good Impression |
(9) (10/1 -25%)10/1(-25%) | (9) Good Impression 10/1, Latest success was gained off 3 lb higher mark at Newton Abbot last September and shaped as though his turn may again be near when placed twice in July. Lesser efforts the last twice but each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. Six-time hurdle winner who has run some fair races in defeat this season; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Star Turn |
(6) (12/1 +14%)12/1(+14%) | (6) Star Turn 12/1, Looked limited on the Flat and while he shaped well on the first of his 3 hurdles start for Alan King, he was safely held on handicap debut in this sphere at Doncaster when last seen in January. Tongue strap added for this stable debut. Displayed ability in juvenile hurdles last November but well beaten on h'cap debut in Jan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
John Betjeman |
(3) (12/1 -71%)12/1(-71%) | (3) John Betjeman 12/1, Hasn't tasted success since gaining the latest of his 3 C&D wins last March but he's proved fairly consistent since and has edged down to a handy mark (now 11 lb lower than for his last win). Likely to be in the thick of things. Below par this autumn but this three wins have all come over today's C&D; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mount Washington |
(8) (16/1 +0%)16/1(+0%) | (8) Mount Washington 16/1, Showed a fair level of ability on bumper debut here last November but yet to make an impact following 5 runs in this sphere. Remains lightly raced but he needs to produce more than he's managed in his two handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mini Yeats |
(10) (20/1 +39%)20/1(+39%) | (10) Mini Yeats 20/1, Remains winless and didn't show much starting out for this yard at Uttoxeter in October. Holeshot is clearly the stable first-string. 0-14 and no return to form on stable/seasonal debut, but on handy mark and not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mind Hunter |
(11) (33/1 +34%)33/1(+34%) | (11) Mind Hunter 33/1, Missed whole of last season and beaten a long way back from a lengthy absence on the Flat in October. Tailed off on the Flat in October when back from long absence; probably best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
From a competitive rating, OPERA KING could get off the mark on just his fourth run in handicap company. Having failed to fire with a visor added in a deeper race last time out, swapping to cheekpieces may be a source of improvement for the son of Australia, who might represent some value in a wide-open contest. Our Dylan is feared most off 2lb higher than last month's narrow defeat at Hereford. John Betjeman has course experience and is also weighted to go well.
The unexposed HOLESHOT is taken to make a winning handicap debut following encouraging efforts at Uttoxeter and Wincanton. Our Dylan is proving consistent and is likely to give another good account, while John Betjeman and Port Or Starboard also enter calculations. Also worthy of consideration is Opera King, who could get back on track now dropping back in trip.
This looks an excellent opportunity for OUR DYLAN (nap). He has continued in good form since winning two in a row in the spring.

Lady Balko |
(2) (1/1 +56%)1/1(+56%) | (2) Lady Balko 1/1, On a roll in handicap hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) on his debut over fences 34 days ago so this point scorer can take a step forward. Three hurdle wins at up to 3m; can improve on recent chase debut now at more suitable trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jessie Lightfoot |
(6) (3/1 +40%)3/1(+40%) | (6) Jessie Lightfoot 3/1, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell before a good third of 18 in 25f Cheltenham handicap 38 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Won at Taunton and Southwell in the spring; good 3rd in higher grade at Cheltenham latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sublime Heights |
(5) (7/1 +7%)7/1(+7%) | (5) Sublime Heights 7/1, C&D winner but yet to to his top form in two runs this autumn, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at this C&D 28 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Three of his four chase wins have been at this track but two poor efforts this term.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gold Clermont |
(4) (9/1 -157%)9/1(-157%) | (4) Gold Clermont 9/1, C&D winner who looked rusty after 8 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) 12 days ago. Reverts to fences on a lenient mark. Interesting. Out-and-out stayer who won twice over C&D in March 2023; had a spin over hurdles recently.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I See You Well |
(1) (12/1 -50%)12/1(-50%) | (1) I See You Well 12/1, Something of a course specialist, winning 5 times over C&D, and looked rusty after 7 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap chase over C&D 28 days ago. Must enter calculations. Five-time C&D winner but well-beaten fifth of six over C&D on reappearance last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Born At Midnight |
(3) (16/1 -167%)16/1(-167%) | (3) Born At Midnight 16/1, Dual C&D winner and he signed off with a good second of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D later in the spring. Much respected on his seasonal return. Won twice over C&D in March and progressed again when second here the following month.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With ground conditions likely to be ideal, dual C&D winner BORN AT MIDNIGHT is a solid contender bidding to add to his tally despite going up 5lb for a one-length defeat on his most recent attempt over track and trip in April. Jessie Lightfoot could pose the selection the most problems with Imogen Mathias now able to utilise her full 7lb claim after partnering the veteran to third at Cheltenham most recently. Lady Balko and I See You Well look the pick of the remainder.
C&D scorer GOLD CLERMONT is fancied to take a sizeable step forward from her reappearance and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Course-specialist I See You Well rates a big threat though, with Jessie Lightfoot and Lady Balko also worthy of consideration in an intriguing handicap.
Preference is for JESSIE LIGHTFOOT who has done well since joining her current yard. Dour stayer Gold Clermont is the main danger.

Mumbles |

Started off well in this sphere when second of 9 in handicap chase here (16f) 22 days ago. LIkely player now back up in trip. Fair second over 2m here on his chase debut and could build on that now back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brulure Noire |
(1) (4/1 +0%)4/1(+0%) | (1) Brulure Noire 4/1, Course winner who signed off for last term with success in 9-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Much respected on his seasonal return. Has won here on his reappearance in each of the last two seasons; firmly in calculations. |

(5) (5/1 -11%)5/1(-11%) | (5) Chosen Hero 5/1, Resumed with a good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 54 days ago. One to consider now going over fences. Reappeared with close third and this point winner is open to improvement now over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Imperial Bede |
(2) (11/2 +45%)11/2(+45%) | (2) Imperial Bede 11/2, French bumper/hurdles winner who ran out a ready winner on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f) in February. Yet to build on that, though latest third at Wetherby was at least a step back in the right direction. Possibilities. Took step back in right direction when third at Wetherby behind two progressive sorts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Good Friday Fairy |
(3) (7/1 -17%)7/1(-17%) | (3) Good Friday Fairy 7/1, A dual 2m4f chase winner last term but pulled up in handicap chase at Doncaster in March. Off since and handily weighted if susequent breathing surgery sparks a resurgence. Tongue strap on for 1st time too. Returns having had a wind op and stable form bodes well; on a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fairlawn Flyer |
(6) (12/1 +45%)12/1(+45%) | (6) Fairlawn Flyer 12/1, Scored at Cartmel and in control when pulled up approaching home straight at Fontwell (3m2f) later last autumn. Has his fitness to prove after 14 months off. Absent since September 2023 but six visits to Ffos Las have yielded four wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Theyseekhimthere |
(7) (14/1 -40%)14/1(-40%) | (7) Theyseekhimthere 14/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, heavy) 8 months ago. Goes chasing after a wind op and needs to hit the ground running. Made winning comeback last term following wind op; returns having had further wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lightonthewing |
(11) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (11) Lightonthewing 16/1, Resumed with success at Newton Abbot but pulled up in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Won three times in the spring but pulled up on reappearance only a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
John W Creasy |
(12) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (12) John W Creasy 16/1, Still a maiden and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Didn't run badly at Exeter in October but pulled up at Chepstow since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Old Painless |
(8) (20/1 +60%)20/1(+60%) | (8) Old Painless 20/1, Plumpton winner first time up over fences 2 years ago but not much impact in 4 runs for current yard, including both starts this term. Others appeal more. Well handicapped on 2022-23 season form but lightly raced since and unable to threaten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pilgrims King |
(10) (20/1 -150%)20/1(-150%) | (10) Pilgrims King 20/1, C&D winner. Badly hampered sixth when pulled up in handicap chase at this course (23.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track. Won over C&D in April but pulled up the last twice and needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Micro Millions |
(4) (33/1 +34%)33/1(+34%) | (4) Micro Millions 33/1, £40,000 buy after winning an Irish point and made the frame 3 times over hurdles at up to 25f for Dan Skelton last term. Pulled up at Bangor though on his debut over fences for new yard last month so a bit to prove. Point winner who was placed in maiden hurdles, but was pulled up on chase/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The consistent MUMBLES was on the back of a near eight-month break when he finished second over 2m here last month and the Evan Williams-trained gelding could be a different proposition back up in trip with that run under his belt. Chasing debutant Chosen Hero boasts a similar profile and commands respect after a close third over hurdles at Sedgefield. Brulure Noire is also noteworthy under top-weight.
MUMBLES is fancied to take a sizeable step forward over fences now his stamina is drawn our more so gets the verdict in this very open handicap chase. Course-scorer Brulure Noire could emerge as the main danger on his seasonal return, with the handily-weighted duo Imperial Bede and Good Friday Fairy also well in the mix. Chasing-newcomer Chosen Hero completes the shortlist.
Ben Clarke had an excellent November with his reappearing runners and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY can making a winning comeback.

Sullivan Bay |
(9) (11/8 +61%)11/8(+61%) | (9) Sullivan Bay 11/8, Showed next to nothing for Henrietta Knight but back to winning ways on first start for this yard at Chelmsford (2m) in October. Ran to a similar level when third at Southwell (16.5f) next time (left with a lot to do) so fancied to make a splash from this mark back hurdling with Cobden booked. Major chance provided his recent AW Flat form is transferred back to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scotch On Da Rocks |
(1) (10/3 +61%)10/3(+61%) | (1) Scotch On Da Rocks 10/3, Point winner in April 2021 who failed to improve on a couple of underwhelming efforts for Ben Pauling back in the spring with the tongue tied discarded at Leicester (20.5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Now sent handicapping and could prove a different proposition. Open to improvement now handicapping at a modest level; looks interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ryder's Rock |
(5) (11/2 +31%)11/2(+31%) | (5) Ryder's Rock 11/2, Newton Abbot winner in September and returned to form when respectable third of 15 at Exeter the following month. In the process of running poorly when departing very late at Wincanton (19.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago and blinkers now go back on. Recorded sole win at 2m1f; still needs to prove she stays 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ask Her Out |
(8) (7/1 -133%)7/1(-133%) | (8) Ask Her Out 7/1, Fair bumper winner who found a handicap debutante too good for the second start in succession at Fontwell (19.1f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Fancied to be bang there once again. Bumper scorer who is threatening to win an ordinary race over hurdles; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Soldier's Leap |
(4) (9/1 -13%)9/1(-13%) | (4) Soldier's Leap 9/1, Runner-up in a point in May but well held all 3 starts over hurdles, albeit showing a bit more than previously at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) just over 6 weeks ago. Improvement needed now handicapping upped in distance. May improve for this step back up in distance on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Redbridge Rosie |
(10) (12/1 -9%)12/1(-9%) | (10) Redbridge Rosie 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Off 10 months before a below-form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell in September and possibly still needed the run when down the field at Huntingdon (25f, soft) 9 days ago. Handicapper given her a chance. Raced mainly at 2m7f+; something to prove back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One Man Party |
(12) (12/1 +14%)12/1(+14%) | (12) One Man Party 12/1, Poor maiden handicap hurdler who shaped much better than the bare result after 10 months off (had a second breathing operation) when down the field at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago, his absence possibly behind his capitulation after he'd got to the front. Could fare better back at 2½m. Evidently thought capable of better at one stage but seems disappointing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Just Aidan |
(7) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (7) Just Aidan 14/1, Hinted at ability in 3 quick runs over hurdles initially and showed some promise in a couple of handicaps towards the back end of last season. However, he offered little after 7 months off at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 12 days ago, so the percentage call has to be to look elsewhere. Has regressive form figures (368) since handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sawpit Samantha |
(11) (22/1 -38%)22/1(-38%) | (11) Sawpit Samantha 22/1, Has offered little over hurdles so far and is hard to fancy on first outing since leaving Sam Drinkwater (has been off 8 months). Hood/tongue tie applied. Fitted with tongue-tie and hood on debut for new yard; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lyle View |
(2) (40/1 -264%)40/1(-264%) | (2) Lyle View 40/1, Runner-up on the last of 3 outings in points and showed a bit on Rules debut at Kelso in October. Suffered heavy defeats at Chepstow/Ffos Las since but should have more to offer now sent down the handicap route back up in trip. Switch to handicap level may prompt a resurgence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prairie Queen |
(6) (66/1 -100%)66/1(-100%) | (6) Prairie Queen 66/1, Has looked limited in bumpers and over hurdles. Makes handicap debut/return and will need to take an almighty step forward. Handicap debutante who is bottom of this pack on bare figures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Cooleen |
(3) (125/1 -279%)125/1(-279%) | (3) The Cooleen 125/1, No great shakes for two different yards in Ireland and showed nothing on first outing for this yard (tongue tie left off) at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) last month. Dropped another 3 lb and can only be watched. Far from certain to stay this new trip judged on breeding. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It looks best to side with ASK HER OUT, who filled the runner-up spot at Hereford in October before occupying the same position at Fontwell last time and, from 1lb higher, she must hold every chance of going a place better. A switch to handicap company could spark improvement from Scotch On Da Rocks and he merits consideration along with Sullivan Bay, who has been in winning form on the Flat recently.
SULLIVAN BAY was immediately back in the winners' enclosure on first outing for this yard at Chelmsford in October and, having performed with credit at Southwell since, he's fancied to gain a first success over obstacles with the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye. Ask Her Out has found a handicap debutante too good twice in a row and she may have to settle for silver again, with Scotch On Da Rocks rounding off the shortlist.
Judged on his recent Flat form, SULLIVAN BAY (nap) looks particularly well handicapped. Ask Her Out is a solid second choice.

Mutley Crew |
(5) (1/1 -37%)1/1(-37%) | (5) Mutley Crew 1/1, Looked suited by the step up in trip when making a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago, asserting late on. A 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing with this slightly extra distance likely to suit even better. 28-1 win on handicap debut at Fontwell; this looks an excellent opportunity to follow up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wot You Wearing |
(1) (10/3 +0%)10/3(+0%) | (1) Wot You Wearing 10/3, Back-to-back winner at Chepstow last November and very encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in a 25.5f Hereford handicap (good) in October. Not in same form on both subsequent starts though, but appeals as a likely candidate to bounce back down in grade. Below par the last twice but drops back down in grade today and may bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Cypriot |
(3) (13/2 +19%)13/2(+19%) | (3) The Cypriot 13/2, Has shown only poor form over hurdles and dropped away before 2 out under a change of tactics over C&D (heavy) 12 days ago. Yard also saddles Walkinthewoods. Lightly raced but has struggled to get competitive in his three handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Walkinthewoods |
(2) (15/2 -7%)15/2(-7%) | (2) Walkinthewoods 15/2, C&D winner in May 2023 but was badly out of sorts during the spring and it was a similar story following a wind op on return at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in October. On a workable mark and would be danger to all if able to bounce back. Yard also saddles The Cypriot. Well handicapped on last season's best form but he needs to turn things around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nowyouvebinandunit |
(6) (8/1 +43%)8/1(+43%) | (6) Nowyouvebinandunit 8/1, Placed in a C&D handicap in June 2023 but off since finishing a below-form fourth at Bangor in August of that year. A watching brief has to be the percentage call after such a long time on the sidelines. Returns from absence but on a competitive mark and not ruled out in a weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Complete Fantasy |
(4) (25/1 +0%)25/1(+0%) | (4) Complete Fantasy 25/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland and hard to draw any positives from his 2 runs since switching to Chris Honour (latest after 5 months off). Headgear discarded. Runner-up in a point in April but has struggled in handicap hurdles the last twice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a moderate event it is hard to oppose MUTLEY CREW, who took a big step forward when winning on her handicap debut over 2m3f at Fontwell last time. With the likelihood of more to come, a 6lb rise may vastly underestimate Robert Walford's mare. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wot You Wearing and The Cypriot are the pick of them.
Not a strong race by any means and WOT YOU WEARING can capitalise on the drop back in grade with a good-value 7-lb conditional on board for first time at the expense of Mutley Crew, who left previous efforts behind on handicap debut when scoring at Fontwell just under 6 weeks ago. The Evan Williams-trained pair can fight out third spot.
The lightly raced 8yo MUTLEY CREW won on her handicap debut in October and stands out in a race that may not take much winning.

Tiptoptim |

Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Competitive Edge out of 2m hurdle winner Sanghasta. Already successful in an Irish point and showed plenty to work on when third in a Chepstow bumper a month ago. Irish point winner; promising effort (finished third) at Chepstow for new yard; respected. |

Moon Monarch |

More like it ridden positively when third at Warwick 5 months later. Gelded prior to finishing third at Warwick; could take another step forward. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KINGSTON QUEEN cost 80,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in March and she was not disgraced when filling third place on her Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper a month ago. With the benefit of that experience, David Pipe's filly could be hard to stop here. Tiptoptim also scored between the flags and should not be underestimated, while any market support for Twist Of Fatecatch would have to be noted.
TIPTOPTIM has transferred to a yard with a really good record in bumpers on the back of an Irish point win in the spring so he may well be up to the job on Rules bow. Kinston Queen also won between the flags and sets the standard on her placed effort at Chepstow, with Twist of Fatecatch another likely type on paper.
Ex-Irish BARON NOIR is taken to make a winning debut for Alan King. Kingston Queen is the biggest danger on bumper form.

Captain Claude |

Shaped as if still in good form when third of 4 back at Fontwell (26f, heavy) when last seen in March, so he's a major player on return. Two wins last season and he could play a leading role on his reappearance. |

However, after 6 months off he got back on track when third at Warwick (25.4f, good) 27 days ago. Enters calculations with recent run behind him. Two heavy-ground wins early this year and could build upon last month's reappearance third. |

Haut Folin |

Placed on next 3 starts but form went the wrong way subsequently, pulled up in 3 of his last 4 races. He's now back below his last winning mark, though, so he's one to note. Disappointing end to last season but made winning reappearance over C&D last November. |

Dysania |

Off 10 months. Pulled up when last seen but made winning reappearance last November; not discounted. |

Fashion's Model |

Eurowork |

Has enough to prove after 18 months off. 10yo who was out of form when last seen in the first half of 2023; plenty to prove. |

Esperti |

Best watched back up in trip. Has tumbled down the weights but he's been well beaten on his last five starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TWILIGHT GLORY was not disgraced when filling third place on his seasonal return over 3m1f at Warwick last month and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Captain Claude was highly progressive last season and has to be of interest, despite the 249-day break. Esperti edges out Fashion's Model to be best of the rest.
CAPTAIN CLAUDE showed improved form switched to chasing last season, successful on his first 2 starts before continuing in good heart for the remainder of the campaign, so he is taken to pick up where he left off and resume winning ways. Twilight Glory ran creditably on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of C&D winner Haut Folin.
Venetia Williams is firmly among the winners and HAUT FOLIN can make a winning reappearance here for the second season in a row.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
POETIC FORCE tends to go well for Molly Gunn and her 7lb claim is undoubtedly a useful tool draw on. Allied to that, the gelding runs off 3lb below his last winning mark and he gets the vote. Gilt Edge came good with a surprise win over this C&D last month and enters calculations off just 3lb higher, while Yoshimi is another player based on recent performances.
The vote goes to SNOOZE LANE, who wasn't seen to best effect here nine days ago and he was firmly knocking on the door prior to that. Poetic Force holds solid claims having found just one too good on each of his last two starts and looks sure to be in the mix once more, while Dayman is an appealing each-way option.
Poetic Force is high on the list but SNOOZE LANE can bounce back from his recent sixth, a run where he met trouble in running.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LADY WINGALONG and Jordan Williams teamed up to good effect when scoring over this C&D last month and the pairing appeals strongly bidding to follow up from just 4lb higher. This doesn't appear to be any tougher but the likes of Mokaatil and Guiteau are capable of going well. The unexposed Safanah is another must for consideration on her handicap debut.
A 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent LADY WINGALONG from adding to her recent success at Lingfield where she looked better than ever. Plenty of these hold strong each-way claims, not least Plumette, who has made the frame here on her last three starts and looks sure to be involved in the finish once again. Mokaatil is third choice ahead of Bomb Squad.
Plumette and Lady Wingalong are respected but SAFANAH has shown ability over sprint trips and 7f looks well worth exploring.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
GEORGINIO was underestimated in the market at Southwell on his latest start, but the Archie Watson-trained gelding ran way above expectations to stay on for a respectable third-placed finish over a mile. With the promise of more to come over this trip, the son Sergei Prokofiev could easily deliver a more accomplished performance. Patrol and Sol Argent are others to consider, while No Release could also go well if he can overcome a wide draw.
PATROL pulled clear of the rest when hitting the crossbar at Southwell and, with this stiffer test likely to be in his favour, he looks the way to go. Next on the list is Georginio, who will be a big threat if able to build on his latest effort. No Release and Sol Argent are others to consider.
Good support for Latona in headgear would look significant but SOL ARGENT gets the nod after a pleasing nursery debut here latest.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAPLA LAZARUS could only manage fourth at Nottingham in October, but that form looks stronger in hindsight given the third has won subsequently. He should have more to offer with his rider's 7lb allowance further helping his cause and can feature in the finish. Steps In Time finished runner-up over further here on debut and can confirm his superiority over Mr Grimes (third), while the Chelmsford second Waiting For Love is another likely improver.
Having been well backed, WAITING FOR LOVE was no match for an established rival on debut at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago but it was still a promising effort and, up in trip, she's expected to build on that. Steps In Time and Capla Lazarus may emerge as the chief threats.
Having shaped with promise on his recent course debut, STEPS IN TIME can get off the mark at the main expense of Waiting For Love.

Oakley Boy |

Has good chance on form from just 3 lb higher. Two AW wins and the visor worked well at Lingfield latest; each-way shout again. |

Ghostman |
(7) (7/2 +56%)7/2(+56%) | (7) Ghostman 7/2, Ninth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 7/2) 10 days ago, though that effort perhaps best excused as he took an early stumble and was also short of room. Latest run excusable and he'd been banging at the door before; more appealing than many. |

Jane Garfield |
(4) (13/2 +24%)13/2(+24%) | (4) Jane Garfield 13/2, Very good fourth of 12 in nursery (28/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving J.S. Moore. Enters calculations on the back of that run. Consistent filly; close 4th over C&D last month; now back with original yard; needs more. |

Piranha Rama |

Carbine Harvester |

Makes handicap debut from a stiff mark on the face of it but he represents a top yard. Clear promise in three runs from 5f to 7f; tongue tied for nursery debut; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zadkiel |
(12) (11/1 +21%)11/1(+21%) | (12) Zadkiel 11/1, 9/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. Blinkers on back in trip. Has shown promise in other headgear; sharp 6f might prove an inadequate test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dubai Magic |
(11) (12/1 -41%)12/1(-41%) | (11) Dubai Magic 12/1, Creditable ¾-length third of 10 to Piranha Rama in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f, 8/1) 23 days ago. 6f looks her trip and she's not yet exposed. Ran well at Chelmsford last month and closely matched with Piranha Rama on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rotation |
(9) (18/1 +45%)18/1(+45%) | (9) Rotation 18/1, Winner at Leicester in July. 40/1 and tongue strap on for first time, creditable sixth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. That was a bit more like on the back of a trio of heavy defeats. Won a turf seller in July but yet to make much of an impact in nurseries. |

Tequila Rose |

Mister Mcgregor |

Makes handicap debut. Must improve from this mark. Peak effort came over 7f; sold for 11,000gns in October; best watched on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DUBAI MAGIC put a disappointing effort behind her when finishing a respectable third at Chelmsford latest. There looks more to come off her current mark and the daughter of Showcasing can turn the tables with the winner Piranha Rama on more favourable terms. The latter will be no pushover, despite a 3lb rise for that success, while Jane Garfield can make her presence felt too.
OAKLEY BOY landed a gamble in ready fashion fitted with a visor for the first time at Lingfield 11 days ago and well drawn to attack, he looks poised to follow up. Jane Garfield and Dubai Magic are a couple of potential threats, while Carbine Harvester requires a market check.
A competitive race in which DUBAI MAGIC is taken to reverse last month's Chelmsford placings with Piranha Rama.

Daaris |

One win from 23 Flat runs. Expensive to follow but hasn't had much luck over further of late and needs considering. |

Black Smoke |

Mr Nugget |
(8) (10/1 +17%)10/1(+17%) | (8) Mr Nugget 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Southwell (11.1f). Off 126 days. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. This trip far from assured on pedigree; hard to consider him unless strong in the market. |

African Star |

Fibonacci Sequence |

Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 33/1) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Must improve. Much will hinge on the new trip and would want to see some support this time. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DANCE TIME regained the winning thread with a victory over the extended 2m here last time. David Loughane's filly won a shade cosily on that occasion and another bold bid looks likely with an apprentice's allowance negating a 3lb rise. Black Smoke won over course and distance in September and can have a say in proceedings once again, while Southwell winner Alex The Great is another to consider having placed here last month.
Plenty are in with a shout but DANCE TIME got right back on track when scoring here recently and looks the way to go. Swinging London heads the list of dangers on the back of his Lingfield second last time, with Alex The Great and Black Smoke also firmly in the picture.
Unexposed as a stayer, recent 2m course winner DANCE TIME (nap) is fancied to defy a 3lb higher mark. Swinging London is next best.

First run for yard after leaving Kevin Thomas Coleman. Needs considering. On the up for former stable when last seen; sold 32,000gns since; 7f perhaps optimal. |

Can give a good account if shrugging off latest run. C&D win in July; two 7f wins at Lingfield since; ran poorly latest; change of headgear. |

Runaround Sioux |

Good record here and still feasibly weighted; drops to 6f for the first time; drawn wide. |

Powdering |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HARVANNA, whose dam won over this trip, is unexposed over 6f and could well cement her authority over this field under top-weight. The daughter of Havana Grey debuts for a yard whose record with similar types is highly encouraging and this could open new doors for her if the trip proves to be ideal. 5f Southwell winner My Awele is another potential improver over this distance, while Byzantine Empress boasts solid handicap form in Ireland.
This is wide open but HARVANNA starts life with Mick Appleby on a handy-looking mark so edges the vote from recent C&D scorer Jax Edge. Jazzy Angel also brings winning course form to the table and can have a say along with My Awele and Powdering.
This is a drop in class for HARVANNA and she can make a winning debut for her new connections. Runaround Sioux may be next best.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ALFA WHITEBURD has been profitable to follow of late and a 6lb rise for last month's cosy success over 6f at Newcastle might not be enough to prevent this improved gelding from following up. Wind surgery seems to have given the three-year-old the boost he needed and he is hard to oppose. Giorgio M, Moulin Booj and Phoenix Of Dreams are other notable contenders.
ONE NIGHT STAND got back to winning ways here last week and still looks weighted to go close again despite a 5 lb rise in the weights. Alfa Whiteburd and Commander Straker both bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Scott Dixon's top weigh in that order. Crimson Sand completes the shortlist.
Alfa Whiteburd isn't opposed lightly but GIORGIO M is handicapped to win and his last two runs have threatened better.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CARAMAY will likely prove popular in the finale, and rightly so given she's won two of her last three starts and finished second on the other occasion. She won here in September and the gut feeling is that there is more improvement in her over this trip. Sisterandbrother is the main danger following his close third at Southwell most recently, while it's also worth keeping an eye on Dillydingdillydong.
CARAMAY arrives in the form of her life, so she's fancied to make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at the expense of Boy George, who took a step back in the right direction when seventh over C&D 3 weeks ago and has been dropped another couple of pounds. Stable-switcher Sisterandbrother and Dillydingdillydong can fight out minor honours.
She came up short in her hat-trick in October but CARAMAY still appeals most now back down in class. Sisterandbrother is next best.
Ths is the racecard key.
