10	10 (10) (2/1 +20%) Rising Dust		2 2/1(+20%)																															(10) Rising Dust 2/1, Travelled strongly and won cosily, landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 15lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective around 3m on good ground; progressive and still well treated on hurdle and chase form. Could still have something to play with despite a 15lb rise for a 2m6f course win.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +45%) Priory Park		6 6/1(+45%)																															(6) Priory Park 6/1, Below form back down in trip when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recently; usually held up and may prefer slightly easier ground. One win from 16 chase starts, won over hurdles in September, faced a stiff task last time.
19	19 (19) (6/1 +0%) Toor Moon		6 6/1(+0%)																															(19) Toor Moon 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Tramore last time; handles heavy and good ground; in form but a frustrating maiden who has wasted several good opportunities. Third reserve, 31-race maiden, runner-up on all three starts over fences, frustrating.
17	17 (17) (7/1 +30%) Made In The Woods		7 7/1(+30%)																															(17) Made In The Woods 7/1, Ran to form but tired late when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel after a break; looks in need of this bit further; not ruled out back over fences. First reserve, a long time since only chase win, trainer had a double at Naas on Monday.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -8%) Aclass		7 7/1(-8%)																															(5) Aclass 7/1, Improved when winning a beginners' chase at Tramore by 6 1/2l last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by cut in the ground; consistent performer. Won a Tramore beginners event for this rider with plenty to spare, good chance if he stays.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +27%) Slotty Dotty		8 8/1(+27%)																															(9) Slotty Dotty 8/1, Returned to form benefiting from easier ground when 7l third in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse last time; suited by give and probably wants 3m; well handicapped on hurdle form. Was having only her second handicap chase start when third at Fairyhouse, may improve.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +25%) Hardy Diamond		9 9/1(+25%)																															(3) Hardy Diamond 9/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; top jockey back on board; effective at 3m and suited by good ground; worth another chance when stepped up in trip. Has plenty to find with Rising Dust judged on their clash over 2m6f here last month.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -6%) Maciver		9 9/1(-6%)																															(4) Maciver 9/1, Ran to form when suited by a positive ride down in trip, beaten 1/2l off a 17lb lower mark at Clonmel last time; progressive type. Progressive early in the year, ran well from his much lower hurdles mark last time.
13	13 (13) (10/1 +0%) Three By Two		10 10/1(+0%)																															(13) Three By Two 10/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced but returned to form back in Cross Country when fourth, beaten 24l, in the Conditions Chase at Punchestown last time; a thorough stayer who prefers further; suited by a sound surface but saves best for Wexford. Has tended to show her best form over the cross-country course at Punchestown, stays well.
18	18 (18) (12/1 +0%) Plain Or Battered		12 12/1(+0%)																															(18) Plain Or Battered 12/1, Yard won this last year; may have found the ground too quick and went too hard early when down the field in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 3m and suited by cut; form has been in and out. Second reserve, encouraging start to the season at Punchestown, below best here last time.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -17%) Jumping Susie		14 14/1(-17%)																															(1) Jumping Susie 14/1, Unseated early in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time after a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m but form has been in and out. Regularly in the money over hurdles, has failed to achieve a similar level of chase form.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +0%) Fairyhill Run		14 14/1(+0%)																															(11) Fairyhill Run 14/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; enjoys making the running; effective at 3m on yielding or good ground; on a long losing run but has dropped to an attractive mark. Was in the form of her life in the summer of 2021, fair form this summer, good 7lb claimer.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +0%) The Gradual Slope		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) The Gradual Slope 16/1, Unseated in the Foxrock Handicap Chase (Listed) at Navan last time when beaten; stays 3m or further but currently out of form. Won over a near-4m trip at the 2024 Punchestown festival, needs to step up on 2025 form.
15	15 (15) (16/1 +0%) Love Like This		16 16/1(+0%)																															(15) Love Like This 16/1, Ran to form when 7l third in a handicap chase at Naas last time; usually held up; effective around 2 1/2m; a frustrating maiden. Longstanding maiden, relatively unexposed over fences, Monday's Naas third offers hope.
12	12 (12) (16/1 +27%) Island Mccoo		16 16/1(+27%)																															(12) Island Mccoo 16/1, Made his move too soon and was unsuited by testing ground when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; tongue-tie on for the first time; effective around 2 1/2m but inconsistent. Unappealing form since winning a 2m6f handicap chase at Tramore in April, tongue-tie now.
14	14 (14) (20/1 -11%) The Little Yank		20 20/1(-11%)																															(14) The Little Yank 20/1, Had too much to do down in trip on ground more testing than ideal when beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time; usually held up; effective at 3m on decent ground; well treated on old form over hurdles and fences. Winner of seven races, not at best lately but still lends substance to trainer's challenge.
16	16 (16) (25/1 -25%) Zolpharine		25 25/1(-25%)																															(16) Zolpharine 25/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Clonmel last time; stays 3m and needs a sound surface; inconsistent with a poor strike rate. Undependable sort with 0-17 chase record, trainer appears to have stronger contenders.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Coffeys Forge		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Coffeys Forge 25/1, A bit below form back over fences when well beaten in a handicap chase at Naas last time; wears a hood for the first time; best around 2 1/2m but gets 3m; chase win may flatter slightly. His sole win was obtained on good ground, handles soft, hooded for stable debut.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Our Boy Rocky		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Our Boy Rocky 25/1, Needed the run and was not given a hard time when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; more required here. Course maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on heavy, tailed off on his only start over fences.

LTO Selection:

SLOTTY DOTTY won a 2m6f handicap hurdle in fine style at Punchestown earlier this year, and the point-to-point winner posted his best fencing effort to date when finishing a creditable third over an extended 2m5f at Fairyhouse latest. Maciver hit a rich vein of form when completing a four-timer (three over fences) at the beginning of the year and offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up to Great Island over hurdles at Clonmel last month. Aclass and Rising Dust both won over fences last time, although the latter has been raised a hefty 15lb. Love Like This is another to consider.

Despite a big hike in the ratings for last month's course win, RISING DUST remains well handicapped relative to his form over hurdles

2	2 (2) (8/13 -8%) Bill Joyce		0.615385 8/13(-8%)																															(2) Bill Joyce 8/13, Probably failed to stay when finishing down the field in a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently; Grade 2 winner over hurdles; looks the class angle on chase debut. Smart novice hurdler last season; point winner who should take to chasing; the one to beat.
4	4 (4) (10/3 +26%) Lario		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(4) Lario 10/3, May have found the ground on the quick side when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time; had been in good form previously and returns from a long layoff; has a minor chance on chase debut. Fairly useful and consistent 2m hurdler; acts on soft; chase debut after 253 days off.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Ayiko		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(1) Ayiko 7/2, Unseated in a Listed handicap hurdle at Navan last time when going well; progressive over hurdles previously; big player on chase debut. Quite a useful hurdler at up to 3m; unseated on reappearance; down in trip for chase debut.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +45%) Largy Belter		12 12/1(+45%)																															(3) Largy Belter 12/1, Outpaced and outclassed when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Exeter last time; the trainer is in form and his Irish bumper form has been franked, with more to come though likely over further than 2m in time. Second in Irish bumper but tailed off both chase starts for this yard.

LTO Selection:

---

BILL JOYCE goes chasing for the first time and should take a bit of beating judged on the pick of his hurdles form, which includes a third in the Challow behind The New Lion. His form tailed off towards the end of the campaign, but he has won first time up for the last two seasons and is taken to bounce back. Ayiko and Lario will be there to pick up the pieces if the selection misfires.

Last season's classy novice hurdler BILL JOYCE won a point at the start of his career and can make a successful switch to fences.

Absent since second at Chepstow but will be on the premises if in similar form here.
14	14 (14) (5/1 +9%) Ufouria		5 5/1(+9%)																															(14) Ufouria 5/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 42l in an auction hurdle at Wexford last time; returns from long layoff with tongue-tie applied first time; effective over 2m on yielding to soft or good ground; Irish bumper winner whose hurdles form has been franked; market should guide on stable debut. Fair form when fourth at Wexford in March; big player if on song for seasonal/stable debut.
13	13 (13) (8/1 +11%) Twistthenightaway		8 8/1(+11%)																															(13) Twistthenightaway 8/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time; had been in good form previously; effective at 2m to 2 1/2m on good to soft or good ground; likely one for handicaps. Launched hurdling career with two encouraging runs; needs to improve but has potential.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +61%) Run Away Joe		11 11/1(+61%)																															(10) Run Away Joe 11/1, Outpaced and below debut form when down the field in a novice hurdle at Taunton most recently; effective over 2m and may do better, though could want further in time. Showed clear promise before unseating on hurdle debut but never competitive last time.
6	6 (6) (18/1 +36%) Lipstick		18 18/1(+36%)																															(6) Lipstick 18/1, Outpaced on modest debut when well beaten in a Chepstow bumper on sole start; difficult to recommend at this stage. Made low-key debut when eighth of 11 in soft-ground Chepstow bumper last month.
12	12 (12) (22/1 +33%) Celtic Queen		22 22/1(+33%)																															(12) Celtic Queen 22/1, Outpaced on modest debut when fourth, beaten 20l in a novice hurdle at Plumpton last time; second run after wind operation; usually held up; effective at 2m but inconsistent and with questions to answer over hurdles. Placed in two bumpers; kept on steadily from the rear for fourth on recent hurdle debut.
2	2 (2) (40/1 +39%) Big Lou		40 40/1(+39%)																															(2) Big Lou 40/1, Still green and hung badly when disappointing up in trip on handicap debut, well beaten in a Chepstow handicap last time; absent for a long spell and has plenty to find.

Soundly beaten in two novice hurdles this autumn (2m4f/2m3f); drops back in trip.
9	9 (9) (100/1 +0%) Raging Al		100 100/1(+0%)																															(9) Raging Al 100/1, Green and never threatened when well beaten in a novice hurdle here last time; effective from 10-12f on good to soft or good to firm; has plenty to prove over hurdles. Unseated rider on hurdle debut and safely held over C&D since; needs to learn to settle.

LTO Selection:

KING OF RECORDS arrives with the best form after placing on his last two starts over hurdles and, if he's raring to go on his first start since April, then jockey Ned Fox's 5lb claim may make all the difference. Ufouria has some good form in Ireland with a bumper win at Cork the highlight and she might go close on her first start for Alastair Ralph, while Garavogue is a newcomer to consider.

The 7yo mare UFOURIA makes her stable debut after a 260-day absence but has strong claims if judged on her Wexford fourth in March.

1	1 (1) (4/5 +12%) Firefox		0.8 4/5(+12%)																															(1) Firefox 4/5, Outclassed rivals down in grade and back from a break when winning the Kildress Plumbing Chase (Grade 2) at Down Royal by 4 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good to yielding; good chance in this. Comfortable winner on return; reliable and tactically versatile; seems sure to go well.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +11%) Iroko		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Iroko 2/1, Outpaced but ran to form over sharp enough trip, not knocked about back from break when second beaten 2 1/2l in a graduation chase at Haydock latest; effective 2m4f-4m2f, acts on Hy, GS; classy but still seeking first chase win and all roads lead to Aintree. Fourth in last year's Grand National; pleasing second on reappearance; good form chance.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +0%) James Du Berlais		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(2) James Du Berlais 10/3, Like many was run off his feel when well beaten in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase (Grade 1) at Punchestown last time; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, G; disappointed in this race 12 months ago but could have a big say. Winner at Punchestown festival in April; stiff task last time; player if recapturing best.

LTO Selection:

---

FIREFOX comfortably landed a Grade 2 over an extended 2m3f at Down Royal last month and is capable of handling a 7lb penalty incurred for that impressive seasonal debut. This slightly longer trip should be well within his range. James Du Berlais - a Grade 3 handicap winner on his penultimate start - was too keen when a well-held third in this last year but fared better than Iroko, who was hampered and fell at the first. Both are capable of better and can get competitive.

Preference for FIREFOX is marginal, but Gordon Elliott's reliable 7yo is tactically versatile and gets the vote ahead of Iroko.

7	7 (7) (7/4 +0%) Korinthia		1.75 7/4(+0%)																															(7) Korinthia 7/4, Travelled well and flattened out late but improved from her debut when 3½l third in the Feathard Lady Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Down Royal last time; off a short break; effective from 2m to 2¼m and acts on soft and good ground; progressing for a top yard. Down Royal Grade 3 novice third sets a decent standard.
9	9 (9) (9/4 +25%) Salsinha		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(9) Salsinha 9/4, The yard has won two of the last eight runnings of this race; made a promising debut when fourth, beaten 3l, in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground; debut form has been franked at Listed level. Cork bumper winner still green on recent hurdles debut; big player back on better ground.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +11%) Amen Kate		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Amen Kate 4/1, Refused in a Listed Mares Novice Hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Her latest win had knocks and she needs more now stepping up in class. Unseated at start recently; potentially big player if getting away okay.
10	10 (10) (5/1 +17%) Samba Train		5 5/1(+17%)																															(10) Samba Train 5/1, Ran to form when suited by a positive ride to win a mares' bumper at Limerick by 1¼l last time; off a short break and needs to find plenty more at this level. Twice made all in bumpers; interesting pace dimension here on hurdles return.
8	8 (8) (15/2 -15%) Queenofthelodge		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(8) Queenofthelodge 15/2, Outclassed but improved again when comfortably held in the Conditions Hurdle at Clonmel last time; boasts experience edge; effective from 2m to 2¾m and continues to progress. Stamina test too much latest; better ground to suit but big drop in trip a concern.
2	2 (2) (20/1 +9%) Brosna Queen		20 20/1(+9%)																															(2) Brosna Queen 20/1, Outclassed when comfortably held in a Listed Mares Flat Race at Navan last time and is hard to recommend in hot race starting out over hurdles. Return to better ground to suit but still big ask on hurdles debut.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +38%) Eye Of A Tiger		25 25/1(+38%)																															(5) Eye Of A Tiger 25/1, Found the ground too testing and was outclassed when well beaten in the For Auction Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Navan last time; effective from 2m to 2¼m on good ground; generally consistent but needs a drop in grade. Highly-tried since maiden win and has come up short; hard to fancy.

3	3 (3) (150/1 +0%) Crohan Lady		150 150/1(+0%)																															(3) Crohan Lady 150/1, Had every chance but ran below form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; effective at 2m and acts on yielding ground; consistent in a short career. Two recent maiden hurdle runs leave her with lots to find.
4	4 (4) (150/1 +0%) Evelyn		150 150/1(+0%)																															(4) Evelyn 150/1, Ran poorly when stepping up in trip and may not have stayed, finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m on good ground but looks out of her depth. Placed in a Galway bumper but hard to make a case for on hurdles form to-date.

LTO Selection:

KORINTHIA appeared to have plenty in hand when winning two bumpers last season, before making a successful switch to hurdles on her reappearance at Ballinrobe in September. The daughter of Jukebox Jury was Grade 3 placed at Down Royal last time and gets the vote in these calmer waters. Salsinha made an impressive debut in a Cork bumper this summer and kept on well into fourth behind Flashaway in a 22-runner maiden hurdle at Navan last month. Queenofthelodge has progressed well in handicaps this year and certainly won't lack for experience, while Galway maiden winner Amen Kate and dual bumper scorer Samba Train are others to note.

Having set a decent standard in finishing third in a Grade 3 novice at Down Royal last time KORINTHIA gets the vote

4	4 (4) (5/2 +9%) Cobbler's Boy		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(4) Cobbler's Boy 5/2, Travelled well and did it comfortably when winning a maiden hurdle at Warwick by 4½l last time. This is his second run after wind surgery; effective at 2m and on good to soft or good ground, with more to come now handicapping. Made all in 2m Warwick maiden in May; likely improver in handicaps for top yard.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +30%) Milldam		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Milldam 7/2, Won this race last year. Made too much use of, needed the run, and found the ground too quick when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. Effective at 2m and suited by cut; a rebound is required but likely. Won this on heavy last year but needs to shrug off disappointing C&D reappearance.

Effective at 2m and handles soft ground; not fully exposed and mark fair; could bounce back. Largely progressive, including second on 2m handicap debut and reappearance; respected.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +25%) Ip Up		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Ip Up 15/2, Had too much to do but still ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Leicester last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground; in form. Has run well to reach frame both starts this season but needs to pull more to win here.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +60%) Irish Blaze		8 8/1(+60%)																															(7) Irish Blaze 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time. Trainer in good form and this runner returns from a long layoff. Effective at 2m, acts on soft but better suited by good ground; needs to bounce back for his new yard. Useful at peak in Ireland needs betting check for yard doing well with new recruits.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +17%) King Ulanda		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) King Ulanda 10/1, Scored by 11l off a 10lb lower mark at Carlisle three starts ago. Every chance and ran to form when fourth, beaten 6l, off 115 last time. Effective at 2m on sound ground and currently in good form. Ready win at Carlisle in October but beaten twice since; needs to resume progression.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +22%) How About No		14 14/1(+22%)																															(6) How About No 14/1, Needed the run when beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Effective at 2m; a consistent performer who should come on for that outing. Fair fifth on Carlisle handicap debut/return but underlines his mark demands improvement.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +44%) No Ordinary Joe		14 14/1(+44%)																															(1) No Ordinary Joe 14/1, Made mistakes and failed to find much when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time. A veteran who is best at 2½m and currently out of form for his new yard. Smart at best but struggled in four runs for Faye Bramley; could only consider if backed.

LTO Selection:

Milldam was beaten a long way here last month, but is entitled to have improved for that first start since March and he'll appreciate softer underfoot conditions. He could be one for the each-way player but, for win purposes, COBBLER'S BOY might be well handicapped on the back of a very impressive maiden hurdle success at Warwick earlier in the year. The in-form Saligo Bay must also be taken seriously.

Nicky Richards has a cracking record with new recruits this season so a chance is taken on IRISH BLAZE.

10	10 (10) (3/1 +25%) Glengolly		3 3/1(+25%)																															(10) Glengolly 3/1, Below form following a wind operation when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; second run after the procedure; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on soft and good to soft ground but needs improvement. 14-race maiden now exposed in handicaps over a range of trips; the tongue-tie is new.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +0%) Flash In The Pan		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(4) Flash In The Pan 7/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back; found the ground too soft when seventh beaten 22l off 95 last time; effective up to 3m2f on good ground and had been in form until latest run. First and third over C&D on good ground; below par on soft around Warwick latest.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +0%) Johnny Boy		6 6/1(+0%)																															(2) Johnny Boy 6/1, Outpaced and made a poor handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and needs more handicapping experience. Lightly raced 6yo who was a weak 12-1 chance on handicap debut and ended up tailed off.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +30%) Woodythewoodpecker		7 7/1(+30%)																															(1) Woodythewoodpecker 7/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m6f and acts on soft and good ground; currently in moderate form. Breeding offers hope for him staying this far and he could post his best form yet.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +30%) Bredon Hill Dart		7 7/1(+30%)																															(5) Bredon Hill Dart 7/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time; effective from 2½m to 3m; progressive in the spring but has a bit to prove following his reappearance. Has won a handicap over 3m2f but he's looking a hard horse to predict.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +65%) Call Your Bluff		7 7/1(+65%)																															(9) Call Your Bluff 7/1, Found little when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time; trainer in form and looks a strong stayer over hurdles, though has been inconsistent in a short career. Has finished tailed off in 2m5f/2m4f handicaps in his two runs for Emma Lavelle.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +0%) Shorten Sassy		7 7/1(+0%)																															(6) Shorten Sassy 7/1, Made mistakes and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective over 3m and should come on for that latest outing. Low mileage but beaten 10l and 27l in her two handicaps at about this distance.
8	8 (8) (9/1 -13%) Pooley's Promise		9 9/1(-13%)																															(8) Pooley's Promise 9/1, Outpaced and below form when dropped in trip on easier ground, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time; suited by 3m on good ground and appears to have found a fair mark, longer trip a plus. Improved for 3m on good ground earlier in year; it was soft and back over 2m4f last time.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +0%) Neptune House		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Neptune House 12/1, Went clear but made too much use of himself when running to form and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time; effective at around 2½m on good ground and may do better in handicaps. Insufficient promise in his qualifying runs to believe he'll be the answer on h'cap debut.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Locked On		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Locked On 14/1, Outpaced and outclassed when needing the run, comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Kempton last time; effective at around 2½m but has it all to prove starting out in handicaps. He could improve for this longer trip on handicap debut; market helpful.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +38%) After Midnight		25 25/1(+38%)																															(11) After Midnight 25/1, Another poor handicap run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time; effective around 2½m but has yet to show any worthwhile form. Has no obvious form claims and has contested two handicaps; unraced beyond 2m5f.

LTO Selection:

Stamina will be at a premium over this trip and that seems to point the way of FLASH IN THE PAN, a C&D winner in October who has finished third here since. Bredon Hill Dart is capable on his day but rarely runs two races the same, scoring at Newton Abbot in June but pulling up at Fontwell recently, but he may still prove a bigger danger than Glengolly.

This looks very difficult. Marginal preference is for WOODYTHEWOODPECKER who may improve for this longer trip.

1	1 (1) (10/3 +17%) Fresh Kicks		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(1) Fresh Kicks 10/3, Converted an easy opportunity when winning a maiden hurdle at Plumpton by 6l last time; effective at 2m4f/2m5f and acts on soft and good ground. More to come now handicapping up in trip. Easy winner of a 2m4f maiden last time; upped in trip with his pointing background.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Buzz Iceclear		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(6) Buzz Iceclear 7/2, Improved again, won with loads in hand in landing a handicap by 3l off a 10lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on S and GS; progressive sort, respected up in grade. 2-2 in handicaps; 10lb higher here in a stronger race but looks set for a bold bid.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +38%) Mount Gay Run		4 4/1(+38%)																															(2) Mount Gay Run 4/1, Ran to form back hurdling when second beaten 5l in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S; massive rise in distance. Lightly raced 7yo and his debut for this yard in a maiden was highly encouraging.
5	5 (5) (13/2 -18%) Jakar Du Moulin		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(5) Jakar Du Moulin 13/2, Travelled, tired late back from break after wind op wheen beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Exeter last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; unexposed at staying trips, mark reasonable, should come on for latest. Lightly raced; beaten 3.5l on handicap debut at Exeter (2m7f) after break and wind surgery.
7	7 (7) (13/2 -8%) Dixie Mafia		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(7) Dixie Mafia 13/2, Travelled well and improved up in trip, pulling clear with a well-handicapped rival when beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Aintree last time; effective from 2m to 3m and acts on soft and good ground. More to come as a stayer. Second on handicap debut at Aintree, beating all bar a Skelton-trained favourite.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Doctor Midas		7 7/1(+0%)																															(9) Doctor Midas 7/1, Improved, appreciating step up in trip when beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on GS and G; can go well again. Second to a progressive one here last time; chance in receipt of weight off all his rivals.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +25%) Havefunontherun		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(3) Havefunontherun 15/2, Ran to form on handicap debut when beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Might improve stepped up in trip. Rallying second on handicap debut at Southwell and stepping up in distance here.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Duel Au Soleil		10 10/1(+17%)																															(4) Duel Au Soleil 10/1, Scored by 6 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Wetherby penultimate start; ran to form, albeit outlasted up in trip, when third last time; effective 2m2f-3m, acts on GS and G; others may stay better. Came up short at Southwell the last time and has another 1lb to contend with; vulnerable.
8	8 (8) (33/1 -18%) Gasmani		33 33/1(-18%)																															(8) Gasmani 33/1, Probably needed the race when 29l third in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Needs to improve back in a handicap. Could be on a fair mark and he's bred to stay this far; remains unexposed.

FRESH KICKS had wind surgery ahead of his reappearance second at Kempton and then made all for a first win over hurdles in a maiden at Plumpton. That was an impressive display from the Nicky Henderson-trained five-year-old, who could again be too hot to handle with another step forward over this longer distance. The hat-trick seeking Buzz Iceclear and the unexposed Havefunontherun are others on an upward trajectory, while Mount Gay Run should also be suited by stepping back up in trip.

An open race. MOUNT GAY RUN made a really nice debut for Dan Skelton and interest is heightened by this return to much further.

6	6 (6) (9/4 +36%) St Faz		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(6) St Faz 9/4, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; had been in good form prior but the handicapper may be catching up. Yet to hit form for the Elliott yard but given yard's terrific form can't be dismissed.
8	8 (8) (11/4 +8%) Fiver Friday		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(8) Fiver Friday 11/4, Returned to form when beaten 2l off a 33lb lower mark at The Curragh last time; off a short break and yet to build on a promising debut but could be well treated on that effort. Curragh third on yard debut; should go well on hurdles return with rider's claim.
11	11 (11) (4/1 +0%) Kotkito Bello		4 4/1(+0%)																															(11) Kotkito Bello 4/1, Quickened clear and improved to land a handicap by 1½l off a 10lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m; in fair form over hurdles and fences, looks well treated and could improve for a slight step up in trip. Hat-trick seeking 5yo up 10lb for latest but quite likely has more to offer.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +30%) Magic Day		7 7/1(+30%)																															(10) Magic Day 7/1, The yard has won two of the last nine runnings of this race; made mistakes and was disappointing on chase debut when well beaten in a beginners chase at Wexford last time; off a short break. Never counted on chase debut on October return; back hurdling.
9	9 (9) (8/1 -14%) Half A Chance		8 8/1(-14%)																															(9) Half A Chance 8/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; had been in good form before and is effective at 2-2¼m; in good form this autumn. Consistent until below-par Taunton effort latest; remains of interest.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Fast Felix		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Fast Felix 12/1, Scored by 3¼l off a 7lb lower mark at Listowel three starts ago; below form back in a handicap when pulled up in a hurdle last time; effective 2-2½m on good ground but his mark looks high enough. Disappointing since Listowel win; others appeal more.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +13%) Rokathir		14 14/1(+13%)																															(12) Rokathir 14/1, The yard has won two of the last nine runnings of this race; below form after making too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recently; in good form before; effective at 3m, acts on soft and heavy; likely to find this test inadequate. Back from eight months absence and inadequate trip.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -29%) Cafe Con Leche		18 18/1(-29%)																															(4) Cafe Con Leche 18/1, Won by a nose off a 6lb lower mark at Cork on his penultimate start; disappointing off a revised mark on testing ground when tenth beaten 24l off 118 last time; effective 12-20f, acts on heavy and good; consistent on the Flat, less reliable over hurdles. Cork winner well held at Punchestown since; remains opposable off same mark.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -11%) Visionarian		20 20/1(-11%)																															(1) Visionarian 20/1, Pulled up in a Listed handicap chase at Killarney last time; returning from a break and has a bit to find; doesn't look the force of old. Veteran on the decline and reappears for new yard on hurdles return.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -11%) Ephesus		20 20/1(-11%)																															(3) Ephesus 20/1, Scored by 2l off a 47lb lower mark at Roscommon in October; ran below form when 12th beaten 20l off 80 last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; in form in both codes. Below best on the Flat of late but 4yo respected back hurdling off a reduced mark.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -11%) My Gaffer		20 20/1(-11%)																															(7) My Gaffer 20/1, Went clear and made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently; enjoys making the running; off a short break; effective 2-2½m on decent ground and on a dangerous mark based on chase form. Needs to improve markedly on Punchestown effort in October; rider's claim a positive.
2	2 (2) (25/1 +11%) Railway Hurricane		25 25/1(+11%)																															(2) Railway Hurricane 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; usually held up and effective at around 2½m; consistent over fences before that and handles good ground. Regressive 10yo hard to be confident in right now.

FIVER FRIDAY won four times on the Flat for Paul Traynor, earning her a career high rating of 90 last year, before landing a 20-runner Naas maiden hurdle this spring. The selection made an encouraging start for Gavin Cromwell at the Curragh latest and reverts to hurdles off what looks an attractive mark. Kotkito Bello appears versatile regarding ground conditions and is on a hat-trick having won over fences here in October before following up over hurdles at Punchestown last month. Half A Chance has filled the runner-up spot three times this season, including when just denied at the Listowel Festival in September.

Still unexposed as a hurdler, FIVER FRIDAY makes plenty of appeal on the back of a fine Flat debut run for the Cromwell yard

2	2 (2) (9/4 +25%) Escapeandevade		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(2) Escapeandevade 9/4, Well treated up 3lb and ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective at 2m on ground with cut; fairly treated and back in form. Runner-up on both starts for this yard; heading back up the weights but high on the list.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +17%) Cabhfuilfungi		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(3) Cabhfuilfungi 10/3, Outpaced but ran to form back from a break when beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m and a threat if getting a thorough test of stamina. Consistent last season and not beaten far on his reappearance, which he could improve for.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +23%) Sunnyvilla		5 5/1(+23%)																															(6) Sunnyvilla 5/1, Won this race last year. Needed the run and likely found the ground too quick when fourth, beaten 21l, in a handicap chase here latest. Trainer in form; effective at 2m and on heavy or good ground; should improve for that run. Won this last year and he could improve for last month's reappearance fourth over C&D.
8	8 (8) (11/2 -22%) My Noble Lord		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(8) My Noble Lord 11/2, Ran to form on chase debut when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective at 2m and acts on soft or good to soft ground; consistent, with hurdling form well franked. 4yo who was second at Wetherby on his chase debut and a step forward is possible today.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +7%) Pony Soprano		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Pony Soprano 13/2, Made mistakes and was below debut form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Exeter last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, but his current mark demands more. In and out since winning on hurdle debut last October but not written off for top yard.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -14%) Primoz		8 8/1(-14%)																															(1) Primoz 8/1, Below form in first-time cheekpieces when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Had been in good form prior and is effective at 2m, acting on soft and good ground, though his form has been inconsistent. Went close on reappearance; hasn't kicked on but he's not ruled out off a handy mark.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +25%) Master Breffni		12 12/1(+25%)																															(7) Master Breffni 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time and entitled to come on for that. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles any ground; an improving type. Won two in a row in February and not beaten far on return; further improvement is possible.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Netywell		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Netywell 16/1, Fell in a handicap chase here last time. Effective at 2m and suited by plenty of give in the ground; now edging back towards a workable mark and took this in 2023; very interesting. Won this two years ago; well treated but hasn't been at the top of his game this season.

LTO Selection:

SUNNYVILLA won this last year for trainer Nicky Richards and he is back for more as a 10-year-old in 2025. He does have 5lb more from the handicapper this season but looks to have been primed for a repeat attempt after a fourth over C&D last month, his first start since February. If he improves for that as expected then he could prove too good for My Noble Lord, who looks interesting on just his second start over fences, with Escapeandevade the pick for third.

Having run really well in second on his first two starts for Harry Derham, ESCAPEANDEVADE can return to winning ways.

10	10 (10) (9/2 +0%) Ten Ten Twenty		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(10) Ten Ten Twenty 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off a 39lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; a consistent performer in both codes who can get involved. Dual hurdle winner in summer 2024; reverts to this code after AW third last month.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +8%) Bluenose Belle		6 6/1(+8%)																															(9) Bluenose Belle 6/1, Ran to form and needed the run when second, beaten 13l, in a Ludlow handicap hurdle last time. The trainer is in form; effective at 2m on good ground and likely to progress from that effort. Won twice in spring and returned with good effort last month but seems best on good ground.
12	12 (12) (6/1 +8%) Inion Tiogair		6 6/1(+8%)																															(12) Inion Tiogair 6/1, Race may have come too soon when comfortably held in a Ludlow handicap hurdle last time. In good form beforehand; effective at 2m on heavy or good to soft ground. A longstanding maiden over hurdles but back in form. Spoiled chance by racing too freely last time; runner-up on previous two outings.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +28%) Chevington		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(2) Chevington 13/2, Benefited from positive tactics and improved on recent form when second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time. Absent for a long spell but effective at 2m on soft or good ground; fair opening mark and should be competitive. Absent since Ludlow novice second in spring 2024; market helpful on handicap debut.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +0%) Daany		7 7/1(+0%)																															(6) Daany 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l in a Bath handicap last time after a short break. A progressive hurdler who acts on any surface and is effective around 1m on the Flat. Won three hurdles in summer 2024 but this year's Flat form is underwhelming.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +20%) Times A Wastin		8 8/1(+20%)																															(1) Times A Wastin 8/1, Stopped quickly when stepped up in trip and was well beaten in a Market Rasen handicap hurdle last time; effective from 2m to 3m. Showed useful form in Ireland but yet to reproduce that for this yard. Left Fergal O'Brien after two disappointing runs and would appeal more on better ground.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +11%) East End Girl		8 8/1(+11%)																															(5) East End Girl 8/1, Ran below par and probably needed the run when comfortably held in a Ludlow handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2m on soft or good ground and generally consistent over hurdles. C&D winner in 2023 and ran well to a point last month, after a long layoff; shortlisted.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +0%) Regal Cavalier		10 10/1(+0%)																															(3) Regal Cavalier 10/1, Still green and ran poorly when fourth, beaten 15l, in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft; a French Flat winner who may do better in handicaps. Second at huge odds in April but makes handicap debut after seven-month absence.
14	14 (14) (10/1 -11%) No Guarantee		10 10/1(-11%)																															(14) No Guarantee 10/1, Needed every yard when dropped in trip and improved to win a claiming hurdle at Ludlow by a neck last time. Effective around 2m2f; not one to rely on reproducing that in a handicap. Caused 33-1 shock in recent claimer but it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -40%) New Invention		14 14/1(-40%)																															(4) New Invention 14/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time. This is his second run since a wind operation; handles good ground and may want a bit further than 2m in time. Well beaten on both starts this autumn but remains open to improvement in handicaps.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -33%) Jack The Boss		16 16/1(-33%)																															(7) Jack The Boss 16/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m on good ground but has something to prove. Form of last season's win is not worth much; improvement needed on this handicap debut.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +27%) Make Sunshine		16 16/1(+27%)																															(11) Make Sunshine 16/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective around 2m4f on good ground; inconsistent but on a fair mark based on maiden form. 0-9 over hurdles after recent fall but ran well when third here (2m3f) in March.
13	13 (13) (16/1 +36%) Famoso		16 16/1(+36%)																															(13) Famoso 16/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well held in a Taunton handicap chase last time; that was likely a prep run over fences. Six-time chase winner; on tempting hurdle mark but has been out of form this autumn.
15	15 (15) (22/1 +33%) Kotgar		22 22/1(+33%)																															(15) Kotgar 22/1, Too free and well beaten in a Warwick handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2m but currently out of form. Tailed off after racing too freely last time and now 0-7 over hurdles.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Ezmerellda		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Ezmerellda 33/1, Outpaced and jumped poorly when fourth, beaten 63l, in a Haydock handicap hurdle last time. Returning from a long absence; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m on soft or good ground but out of form. Became disappointing for Alan King and was tailed off on stable debut in March.
16	16 (16) (50/1 +0%) Now Then Wendy		50 50/1(+0%)																															(16) Now Then Wendy 50/1, Outpaced and ran poorly when well beaten in a Ludlow handicap hurdle last time. Tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective at 2m on good ground but has something to prove. Ran okay on handicap debut in March but well beaten twice since; tongue-tie added.

TEN TEN TWENTY is race-fit from running on the Flat and it was a solid effort in defeat at Wolverhampton last month. Back over hurdles for this assignment and given he was progressive in this sphere in the summer of 2024, the seven-year-old looks poised to strike. Bluenose Belle was in good form earlier in the year and a recent comeback run at Ludlow will have blown the cobwebs away. She is noted along with Chevington.

After returning from a long layoff with a satisfactory run last month, EAST END GIRL may record her second C&D win.

Effective between 2m2f and 2m4f and suited by a sound surface, though rain would be a negative. Ran a good fifth at Cheltenham last time and he's a better horse going right-handed.
9	9 (9) (7/2 +22%) The Famous Five		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(9) The Famous Five 7/2, Well backed, improved when beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newbury last time; returning from long layoff; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and GS; capable of going well fresh. Ran well when last seen in February; every chance off this mark if his jumping holds up.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +10%) Issam		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(4) Issam 9/2, Improved, good attitude when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S, G; can go well again. An improving chaser who was good value for narrow winning margin at Wetherby last month.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +36%) General Medrano		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(5) General Medrano 9/2, Travelled well but flattened out and ran below form when comfortably held in a Newbury handicap chase last time. Trainer is in good form. Usually held up and best at around 2m on decent ground, though others may see this out better. Disappointing last run but his comeback effort here in November was encouraging.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +50%) Here Comes Georgie		6 6/1(+50%)																															(8) Here Comes Georgie 6/1, Too keen up in trip, outstayed late having looked winner when beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 2m-2m3f, suited by GS and G; bit to find. Early days with this yard and narrowly failed to defy a hefty weight at Doncaster.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +11%) Rare Edition		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Rare Edition 8/1, No obvious excuse when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Newbury latest; effective at 2m-2m2f on decent ground; inconsistent. Below best latest but still early days as a chaser and won off 4lb higher over hurdles.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -10%) Scarface		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) Scarface 11/1, Race may have come too soon when pulled up in a handicap chase at Newbury last time. Effective between 2m4f and 3m1f and handles any ground. Could bounce back now tried in blinkers. Better than he showed last time but even if the blinkers work he looks high in the weights.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -17%) Matterhorn		14 14/1(-17%)																															(1) Matterhorn 14/1, Jumped well and travelled strongly to win cosily by 5l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Enjoys racing prominently and is effective from 2m to 2m4f, though needs a sound surface and ground conditions are a major concern. On a career-high mark, lacks a recent run and ideally wants good ground.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Etalon		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Etalon 16/1, Made mistakes and found little when finishing down the field in a Newbury handicap chase last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good to soft ground but remains inconsistent. He's a capable chaser when on song but can be inconsistent, as he showed last time.

LTO Selection:

---

BAD has shown a liking for this venue in the past and following a respectable fifth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, the six-year-old has a good chance of making the most of a drop in class back here. The returning Matterhorn should be capable making an impact off just 4lb higher than for his Uttoxeter success when last seen. Rare Edition and The Famous Five are interesting alternatives to consider.

He ran well on his last visit here and GENERAL MEDRANO might be the answer if back on song. Bad is next best.

6	6 (6) (1/1 +20%) Eliodam		1 1/1(+20%)																															(6) Eliodam 1/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a Fairyhouse bumper on only start; significant improvement likely now hurdling for top connections; interesting. Likely to be capable of much better than on his debut in a sales bumper at Fairyhouse.
11	11 (11) (9/4 +44%) Top Coeur		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(11) Top Coeur 9/4, Made mistakes but showed promise when fourth, beaten 26l, in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. Effective over 2m and handles soft ground; beaten by a useful rival on debut and should have more to come. Had plenty of horses behind when a distant fourth at Fairyhouse, improvement on the cards.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -11%) Chichester Park		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Chichester Park 5/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when fourth, beaten 12l, in a bumper at Down Royal. Off a short break and effective over 2m on good ground; has more to offer though may want a bit further in time. Point winner, form of his Listowel third has been well advertised, below best in a bumper.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +17%) Black Gem		10 10/1(+17%)																															(1) Black Gem 10/1, Reluctant and lazy but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time. Off a short break and effective over 2m2f; softer ground could suit though more required to get off the mark. Remote third at Kilbeggan on the second of three hurdle starts, others preferred.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +0%) Bulgaden Castle		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Bulgaden Castle 12/1, Showed improvement from his debut when third, beaten 18l, in a maiden hurdle at Naas on latest run. Effective over 2m3f and acts on soft ground; continues to progress over hurdles. Fared best of the outsiders when third at Naas last month, place claim if building on that.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +14%) Stay In The Game		12 12/1(+14%)																															(10) Stay In The Game 12/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; could bounce back now dropping in class. Has managed a couple of fourth-place finishes over hurdles, pulled up last time.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Cooladdi		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Cooladdi 16/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time. Wears a hood for the first time; effective over 2½m on good ground. Debut form has been franked at Listed level and improvement is possible. Placed in a bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle, not as effective on heavy ground on latest.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -32%) Drop A Threat		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) Drop A Threat 33/1, Made mistakes and showed modest form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. Acts on soft ground; point winner who could leave previous form behind for a top yard. Point winner, has struggled in his two racecourse starts, serious questions to answer.
13	13 (13) (33/1 +50%) Tellmemamema		33 33/1(+50%)																															(13) Tellmemamema 33/1, Showed modest form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown on only start. Off a short break and effective over 2m; likely to need more time. Considerable improvement is required from an initial outing at Punchestown in October.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -65%) Galavanting George		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) Galavanting George 66/1, Not asked a question and showed improvement when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Effective over 2m3f and acts on heavy ground; progressing in maidens and looks one for handicaps. Small step in the right direction on Monday when sixth of 16 in a 2m3f maiden at Naas.
9	9 (9) (66/1 +0%) Mistyburn		66 66/1(+0%)																															(9) Mistyburn 66/1, Improved without threatening when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel. Usually held up; effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground. May progress further based on point and bumper form but likely in handicaps. Flashes of promise, plenty to prove now judged on Limerick and Clonmel runs.
8	8 (8) (150/1 -20%) Its Time For A Run		150 150/1(-20%)																															(8) Its Time For A Run 150/1, Showed little on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here on only start; has everything to prove. In good hands, failed to feature when a remote seventh over 2m4f at this venue on debut.
12	12 (12) (150/1 -20%) Supreme Axel		150 150/1(-20%)																															(12) Supreme Axel 150/1, Yet to show any signs of ability; returns from a short break and still seeking suitable conditions; has everything to prove. Struggled in two runs in points, huge price when pulled up on hurdles debut at Tramore.
14	14 (14) (150/1 -20%) Danny The Champ		150 150/1(-20%)																															(14) Danny The Champ 150/1, Outpaced and below form when down in trip, finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan. Effective over 2½m; may find this test on the sharp side. First reserve, likely to need a handicap mark on the evidence of two maiden hurdle starts.
15	15 (15) (150/1 -20%) Down Your Way		150 150/1(-20%)																															(15) Down Your Way 150/1, Showed little on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork. Yet to find suitable conditions and has everything to prove. Second reserve, suffered early interference on debut at Cork, hard to fancy all the same.
16	16 (16) (150/1 -20%) It Will Do Rightly		150 150/1(-20%)																															(16) It Will Do Rightly 150/1, Modest debut effort when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on only start; yet to find suitable conditions and has everything to prove. Third reserve, big price at Fairyhouse three weeks ago, unlikely to feature.

LTO Selection:

---

CHICHESTER PARK won a point-to-point at Toomebridge back in May and made a bright start over hurdles when third behind Heads Up in a maiden hurdle at the Listowel Festival that has worked out very well. Top Coeur was well supported when placed on debut in a Punchestown bumper earlier this year and was absent until staying on into fourth behind the impressive Skylight Hustle in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last month. Eliodam was soundly beaten on debut in a valuable sales race bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting, but riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to point-to-point winner Drop A Threat.

A modest gallop may not have suited CHICHESTER PARK in a Down Royal bumper. He gets the vote on the strength of a good Listowel run

10	10 (10) (4/1 +11%) Grand Geste		4 4/1(+11%)																															(10) Grand Geste 4/1, Travelled well and jumped boldly, improving from debut but just outbattled late by a thorough stayer, beaten a nose off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f, acts on soft and good ground; progressing over fences. Has made promising start to chase career and open to further improvement now up in trip.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +18%) Saladins Son		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(6) Saladins Son 9/2, Had every chance and ran to form when stepping up in grade, flattening out late back from a break to finish second, beaten 7l in a handicap chase here last time; stays 3m1f, acts on heavy and soft ground; in form and could come on for that effort. 7l second to Top Of The Bill over C&D on return & this unexposed 7yo could improve further.
8	8 (8) (5/1 -11%) Jacks Parrot		5 5/1(-11%)																															(8) Jacks Parrot 5/1, Outpaced and needed the run when fourth, beaten 21l in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; a prep run for chasing; progressive type who should stay further; finished runner up in this last year; every chance. Runner-up in this last year and last month's comeback over h'dles may have put him spot on.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +38%) O'toole		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(4) O'toole 15/2, Ran to form back from a layoff when second, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap chase at Cork last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; well treated on novice form but should come on for that run. 9yo who is very lightly raced for his age & could build on last month's positive comeback.
7	7 (7) (8/1 -14%) My Silver Lining		8 8/1(-14%)																															(7) My Silver Lining 8/1, Ran to form showing a willing attitude when 11l third in a handicap chase at Ascot most recently; suited by trips over 3m and acts on most ground; not quite the force of old but now below her last winning mark and could build on that run. Ran well off this reduced mark when third at Ascot last month and might not be far away.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +11%) Top Of The Bill		8 8/1(+11%)																															(2) Top Of The Bill 8/1, Ran to his best when suited by a positive ride and decent ground, winning a handicap chase by 7l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good ground; has had issues but in career-best form. 9yo who produced a career best to win by 7l over C&D last time; up 9lb but still respected.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +25%) Brucejack		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Brucejack 9/1, Ran to form when appreciating the step back up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 14l in the Porterstown Handicap Chase (Listed) at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3 1/2m and acts on most ground; consistent but a frustrating maiden over fences. Consistent and ran pretty well last time but now 0-14 over fences; may again be vulnerable.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +8%) Grand Albert		11 11/1(+8%)																															(5) Grand Albert 11/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 22l in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective up to 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; inconsistent but should come on for that run. Not jump well on last 2 runs; hopes pinned on him finding more fluency now in cheekpieces.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +45%) Fenland Tiger		11 11/1(+45%)																															(12) Fenland Tiger 11/1, Outpaced but returned to form when second, beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time; effective from 3m to 3m2f, acts on heavy and good to soft ground; running into form after a long layoff but faces stiff task on these terms. Promise at Carlisle on second start back from long absence but 7lb out of the h'cap today.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -22%) Famous Bridge		11 11/1(-22%)																															(3) Famous Bridge 11/1, Lost action late and was well beaten in a handicap chase here last time; trainer in form; effective over 3m+, acts on most goings but best with some cut; inconsistent performer. Below par on both runs this season but down to a dangerous mark and has strong record here.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +20%) Latenightrumble		16 16/1(+20%)																															(11) Latenightrumble 16/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip, needing the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Stratford last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; off a short break; effective at 3m and suited by cut; capable of bouncing back. Progressive last winter & shaped as though he needed his reappearance run; possible player.
1	1 (1) (25/1 +24%) Velvet Elvis		25 25/1(+24%)																															(1) Velvet Elvis 25/1, Pulled up in the Troytown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Navan last time; likes to make the running and is effective over 3m with cut; saves best for Fairyhouse and currently out of form. Runner-up in the Thyestes in January but well below that level on both outings since.

LTO Selection:

Jacks Parrot sits high in the market after a fourth over hurdles at Bangor and he has no issues with either the trip or the going. Top Of The Bill has been put up 9lb for an easy C&D win last month and warrants plenty of respect, but a chance is taken on FENLAND TIGER. Lightly raced, he ran well when second at Carlisle on his second start since February 2024 and could be coming good just at the right time.

Konfusion & O'Connell have won quality chases for the Parkinson/Smith yard this term and GRAND GESTE (nap) can add his name to that list

Effective between 2m3f and 3m and in fine form for her new stable. Close second in 15-runner Cheltenham handicap a week ago; respected.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +27%) Alfie's Princess		4 4/1(+27%)																															(5) Alfie's Princess 4/1, Well handicapped on hurdle form and ran to form on her chase debut when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Ffos Las last time. Returns from a long absence with her trainer in form. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground; should come on for the run. Off since promising chase debut in October 2024 but completely unexposed as a stayer.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +8%) Kosasiempre		6 6/1(+8%)																															(9) Kosasiempre 6/1, Returned to form when winning a handicap here by 3l off a 4lb lower mark last time. Usually ridden patiently and effective from 2 3/4m to 3m. Faces a tougher task from a higher mark but remains of interest. C&D winner last month; this race is stronger but a 4lb rise does not look excessive.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +0%) Minniemum		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Minniemum 13/2, Won a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Ludlow on her penultimate start. Improved again when second in the Listed Bud Booth Mares' Chase at Market Rasen last time. Best suited by 3m on good ground and progressing over fences. Ran well in recent Listed race but recent 5b rise probably demands more from her.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +30%) Lady Balko		7 7/1(+30%)																															(1) Lady Balko 7/1, Won this race last year but was pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective at around 3m and handles soft and good to soft ground, though her form has dipped and she looks on a stiff mark. Lost her way after winning this race in 2024 but no surprise if she bounces back to form.
10	10 (10) (15/2 +25%) Followango		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(10) Followango 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 6l, in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3m and generally consistent from a fair mark. Runner-up all three starts this season (once over C&D) but others appeal more all the same.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +6%) Malaita		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(7) Malaita 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Hexham last time.

4	4 (4) (9/1 +10%) Musique De Fee		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Musique De Fee 9/1, Won a handicap hurdle by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Cartmel on her penultimate start. Likes to race prominently and, following a short break, should improve for her chase debut. Effective from 2m4f to 3m2f on good ground, with the longer trip expected to suit. Progressive over hurdles in first half of year; not disgraced in a match on chase debut.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -10%) Holloway Queen		11 11/1(-10%)																															(3) Holloway Queen 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Listed winner over hurdles; dangerous mark starting out over fences; very interesting. Listed hurdle winner last winter; badly out of sorts on last two starts; chase debut.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +45%) Lagonda		11 11/1(+45%)																															(8) Lagonda 11/1, Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective over 3m and handles soft and good to soft ground, though unlikely to get an uncontested lead. Second in this last year; can be dangerous if she responds well to new cheekpieces.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +14%) Flowing Cadenza		12 12/1(+14%)																															(11) Flowing Cadenza 12/1, Refused in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time. Effective around 3m and handles soft ground, but has a long absence to overcome and must show her ability remains intact. Won this in 2022 but very lightly raced in recent years; current ability hard to gauge.

LTO Selection:

---

LADY BALKO won this 12 months ago and, following her comeback spin around Cheltenham, this has probably been the plan all year. David Pipe's mare might represent some really good value if she strips fitter. Theonewedreamof is of obvious interest given her recent form and top connections. Minniemum should be thereabouts and, like the selection, Kosasiempre is a track-and-trip winner to bear in mind.

The pick is ALFIE'S PRINCESS (nap), who made a very promising chase debut over 2m5f last autumn and can improve as a stayer.

Lightly raced and progressive; winner and runner-up in Grade 1 novices; high on the list.
8	8 (8) (3/1 +10%) Impose Toi		3 3/1(+10%)																															(8) Impose Toi 3/1, Travelled, ran to form, did well to get up having conceded first run when winning Long Distance Hurdle (Grade 2) at Newbury by 1/2l last time; effective 2m4f-3m; progressive although worse off at weights with Strong Leader.

Good second in Grade 1 event at Auteuil but that still leaves him with an uphill task.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +0%) Crambo		9 9/1(+0%)																															(4) Crambo 9/1, Winner of this race in 2023 and 2024; needed the run when well beaten in the Ascot Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time; suited by 3m and probably best on decent ground; should come on for the latest run though this is stronger than previous renewals. Won this race in 2023 and 2024 but has become inconsistent and others look much safer.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +13%) Colonel Mustard		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Colonel Mustard 14/1, Idled but ran to his best when back up in trip to win the Lismullen Hurdle (Grade 2) at Navan by 3l last time; effective from 2m to 2m5f, acts on heavy and good; likeable sort but stamina remains to be proven. Veteran; better than ever with two recent wins but this is tougher and he's unproven at 3m.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +27%) Beauport		16 16/1(+27%)																															(2) Beauport 16/1, Travelled well but made his move too soon off a strong pace when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l in a Cheltenham handicap chase last time; effective from 3m to 3m5f, acts on heavy and good; fine third in this race last year. Better known as a chaser; third 12 months ago but this race is stronger.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -25%) Doddiethegreat		20 20/1(-25%)																															(5) Doddiethegreat 20/1, Travelled strongly and ran to his best when fourth, beaten 6l in the Long Distance Hurdle (Grade 2) at Newbury last time, outstayed late after getting racing early; suited by 3m on decent ground but acts on any; capable of a good run. Good efforts in Grade 2 events this autumn; likely to give running again but needs more.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -10%) Altobelli		22 22/1(-10%)																															(1) Altobelli 22/1, Made mistakes but still ran to form when beaten 10l in the Ascot Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on soft and good; stamina and class to prove. Bit to find on the figures and folded tamely on his only previous attempt at 3m.
6	6 (6) (40/1 +0%) Gwennie May Boy		40 40/1(+0%)																															(6) Gwennie May Boy 40/1, Travelled but found little and needed the run when well beaten in the Ascot Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time; best at 3m and ideally wants some give; faces a stiff task at this level. Showed little at 80-1 on reappearance/stable debut and has plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

---

Crambo bids to win this for the third time in succession having had Beauport back in third last year. Well beaten in last season's renewal, Strong Leader finished a close second to IMPOSE TOI in the Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month. The latter will need to improve further to confirm superiority on less favourable terms, but that is a distinct possibility and Nicky Henderson's charge looks worth sticking with. A high-class novice hurdler last term, Honesty Policy faces a tough test on his reappearance, although he's still preferred to Potters Charm and Jet Blue.

Honesty Policy is feared but a chance is taken with POTTERS CHARM who promises to be suited by today's step up in distance.

1	1 (1) (4/9 +44%) Boedic		0.444444 4/9(+44%)																															(1) Boedic 4/9, Made a promising start when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l, in a bumper at Fairyhouse on debut; much more to come now hurdling for top connections; likely type. Showed promise when fourth on debut in a valuable 17-runner Fairyhouse bumper in April.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) Luker's Tipple		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Luker's Tipple 4/1, Raced keenly and went clear before fading in a Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective at 2m on soft and good; consistent over hurdles though a touch frustrating. Very experienced, runner-up on six occasions, may have to settle for minor honours again.
10	10 (10) (5/1 -11%) Zeus Power		5 5/1(-11%)																															(10) Zeus Power 5/1, Showed greenness but made a promising debut when second, beaten 11l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; trained by a top course trainer; effective at 2 1/2m and looks likely to win soon. Placed on both starts in bumpers, chased home favourite on hurdling debut, could go close.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Premier Rogue		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Premier Rogue 10/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l, in a four-year-old bumper at Galway last time; returning from a short break and has a bit to find. Faded into fourth after a prominent run at Punchestown, 4 1/2l to find with Zeus Power.
15	15 (15) (16/1 +36%) Good Option		16 16/1(+36%)																															(15) Good Option 16/1, Green and made mistakes when down the field on debut in a maiden hurdle at Navan; should improve for experience under a top yard. Second reserve, second in a point, may improve from his recent hurdling debut at Navan.
9	9 (9) (18/1 0%) The Goose's Acre		18 18/1(0%)																															(9) The Goose's Acre 18/1, Showed some improvement when third, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; fair form but perhaps better suited to handicaps. Placed twice, third in a C&D maiden a month ago, this looks like a stronger race..
5	5 (5) (33/1 -32%) Mojoe		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) Mojoe 33/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 22l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on heavy ground; in form and should remain competitive. Fourth over 2m4f at this venue on second hurdles run, appears held by runner-up Zeus Power.
6	6 (6) (33/1 +0%) Moon Mission		33 33/1(+0%)																															(6) Moon Mission 33/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 35l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m; consistent and should be competitive again. Remote third behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance here last time, place chance.
4	4 (4) (50/1 +0%) Maxicourt		50 50/1(+0%)																															(4) Maxicourt 50/1, May have found the ground too testing when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m on yielding and could fare better now handicapping over further. Some promise earlier in the year but not enough to suggest he can play a leading part.
13	13 (13) (80/1 -60%) Qamari		80 80/1(-60%)																															(13) Qamari 80/1, Failed to find much when down the field in a handicap at The Curragh last time; back from a short break and needs to improve to feature. Best Flat efforts on the AW, rated 68, not an obvious contender on hurdles debut.
12	12 (12) (125/1 0%) Katie's Casper		125 125/1(0%)																															(12) Katie's Casper 125/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time; back from a short break; effective at 2m on good ground but still to build on her promising bumper debut. Has struggled in bumpers and maiden hurdles since an initial bumper placing last year.
14	14 (14) (150/1 -50%) Anightaway		150 150/1(-50%)																															(14) Anightaway 150/1, Poor debut effort when well down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan; yet to find suitable conditions and remains unconvincing both on the Flat and over hurdles. First reserve, low-rated maiden on the Flat, down the field on hurdling debut at Navan.
16	16 (16) (150/1 -50%) Max Meridius		150 150/1(-50%)																															(16) Max Meridius 150/1, Poor debut effort when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; has it all to prove at this stage. Third reserve, good handicap run on the Flat in October, remote tenth on hurdling debut.
2	2 (2) (150/1 -20%) Glin Road Boy		150 150/1(-20%)																															(2) Glin Road Boy 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; has yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and likely needs more time. Three-figure odds for all three hurdle outings and has run accordingly, no apparent chance.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -20%) Mr Ed		150 150/1(-20%)																															(7) Mr Ed 150/1, Never featured when well beaten on debut in a maiden hurdle at Tramore; likely to need more time and experience. Never in the hunt on debut at Tramore, can be left out of calculations..
11	11 (11) (150/1 -20%) Del Boys Diva		150 150/1(-20%)																															(11) Del Boys Diva 150/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here on only start; yet to find suitable conditions and has plenty to prove. Big price when always towards the back on debut over C&D, can be ruled out..

BOEDIC was bought for 175,000 euro at the Derby Sale last year and made an encouraging start when staying on into fourth behind the useful I'm Slippy in a valuable sales race bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. It will be interesting to see how strong the Willie Mullins-trained gelding is in the market as he switches to hurdles. Luker's Tipple has no shortage of jumping experience but has proved a frustrating sort to follow filling the runner-up spot six times over hurdles. Zeus Power was sent off favourite when placed on both bumper starts and had Mojoe behind in fourth when runner-up to the odds-on Riskaway in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here last month.

A promising fourth in a sales bumper at Fairyhouse in April, BOEDIC may take the measure of the well-exposed Luker's Tipple

1	1 (1) (5/2 -11%) Jackie Hobbs		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(1) Jackie Hobbs 5/2, Travelled smoothly and won cosily on debut in a Newbury novice hurdle by 2 1/4l. Effective over 2m and handles good to soft and good ground. Classy in bumpers, looks a useful hurdling recruit with more to come. Found plenty to win on hurdle debut at Newbury and that form has been franked; key player.
8	8 (8) (11/4 +8%) Supreme Malinas		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(8) Supreme Malinas 11/4, Quickened clear readily and improved up in trip when winning an Exeter novice hurdle by 4l. Effective between 2m and 2 1/4m. Looks a useful prospect and may stay a bit further in time. Listed bumper winner who scored on her hurdle debut; useful prospect for her top yard.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +36%) A Path To Ronda		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(3) A Path To Ronda 9/2, Made mistakes but produced a solid effort under a penalty when second, beaten 4l, in an Exeter novice hurdle. Effective at 2m and handles good to soft ground. Strong bumper form and in good order over hurdles. 2nd to Supreme Malinas at Exeter when conceding 7lb; level weights today; one to consider.
9	9 (9) (13/2 -30%) Walks The Talk		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(9) Walks The Talk 13/2, Quickened clear readily when stepping up in trip and winning a Kelso novice hurdle by 6 1/2l. Effective between 2 1/2m and 2 3/4m and acts on soft and good ground. Progressive, though needs more again up in class. She's comfortably made all on her two hurdle starts and could have a big part to play.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +7%) La Zoubida		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) La Zoubida 13/2, Improved to win a novice hurdle at Kelso by 3 1/4l last time. Trainer in form. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Form has been franked and she looks progressive stepping up in grade. 2-2 over hurdles; this is tougher but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -10%) Park Princess		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) Park Princess 11/1, Made a promising debut when winning a Ludlow maiden hurdle by 4 1/4l. Tongue-tie applied for the first time. Effective from 2m to 2m5f and acts on soft and good ground. Debut form modest and drop in trip may not suit. Won on hurdle debut after absence; others have stronger form; she could have more to offer.
2	2 (2) (20/1 +9%) Amelia's Star		20 20/1(+9%)																															(2) Amelia's Star 20/1, Green and made mistakes but shaped with promise when second, beaten 2l, in a Huntingdon novice hurdle on debut. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground. Should improve with experience. Runner-up on hurdle debut; could improve now up in trip but needs a sizeable step forward.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +20%) Bittalemon		20 20/1(+20%)																															(4) Bittalemon 20/1, Quickened clear readily to win a novice hurdle at Cartmel by 2l after being allowed an easy lead down in grade. Returning from a break. Effective at 2m and handles good to soft and good ground. Progressive but needs more up in class. All five hurdle runs at Cartmel, with two wins; limitations may be exposed now up in grade.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -32%) Roses All The Way		33 33/1(-32%)																															(7) Roses All The Way 33/1, Made mistakes but ran to form on hurdling debut when third, beaten 10l, in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle. Tongue-tie on for the first time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles soft and good ground. Should improve for the run. Listed bumper runner-up; 10l third to La Zoubida on hurdle debut; wind surgery since.

SUPREME MALINAS accounted for A Path To Ronda when making a successful beginning to her hurdling career at Exeter and beat Roses All The Way to Listed honours in a Huntingdon bumper last season. She can strike at the same level in this sphere, although Jackie Hobbs forced a couple of subsequent winners to settle for minor honours on her own timber bow at Newbury and is a big threat. La Zoubida hasn't put a foot wrong over obstacles yet and will relish conditions.

Irish challenger WALKS THE TALK has impressed on her first two hurdle starts and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record in this sphere

2	2 (2) (5/2 +9%) Marsiac		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Marsiac 5/2, Quickened clear comfortably and improved again when winning a novice hurdle here by 4l last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 2 1/2m on good to soft or good ground. The form of his maiden win has been emphatically franked and he continues to progress. Comfortably made all in C&D novice last month and now 2-3 over hurdles; handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +0%) Loriko		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(3) Loriko 7/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 3 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles soft and good ground. Showed useful form in France and is progressing for a top yard. Second of four in Ascot maiden last month; should have improvement to come in handicaps.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +8%) Wellington Arch		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(1) Wellington Arch 11/2, Ran to form off a revised mark when 5l third in the Lawlor's Of Naas Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown last time. Enjoys making the running and effective at 2 1/2m on good to soft. Progressive type whose form has been franked and a threat if fit. Won at Aintree festival in April and third at Punchestown in May; back from break.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +21%) Moveit Like Minnie		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(5) Moveit Like Minnie 11/2, Badly hampered early and outpaced when beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time, a run worth ignoring. In good form prior and effective around 2m on a sound surface. Consistent but can be frustrating. More exposed than some of these but was placed in a strong Ascot handicap last month.
4	4 (4) (15/2 -25%) Good To Be Alive		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(4) Good To Be Alive 15/2, Improved when beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m and may prefer some cut. Unexposed for this yard and should progress up in trip. Kept on well for close second on seasonal/stable/handicap debut; up in trip today.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +11%) Came From Nowhere		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Came From Nowhere 8/1, Made mistakes but improved under a positive ride at a sharp track when beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 2m and handles cut. Type to do better now handicapping. Low-mileage 6yo; up in trip after creditable second on recent handicap debut (1m7f).
6	6 (6) (9/1 +18%) Lightningupourdays		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Lightningupourdays 9/1, Ran to form when 9 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time, returning from a long layoff. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles soft and good ground. Consistent in a short career, and the step up in trip should help. Progressive last winter and still has low mileage but returns from layoff in a warm race.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Wewillgowithplanb		16 16/1(+0%)																															(8) Wewillgowithplanb 16/1, Ran to form, just tiring late back from a layoff when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m and acts on any ground. Inconsistent but fairly treated on chase form. Ran well last month, after a layoff, but others have stronger form and/or more potential.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +27%) Time Interval		16 16/1(+27%)																															(9) Time Interval 16/1, Ran to form but tired late on ground softer than ideal when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m though may not stay 2 1/2m, and better suited by good ground. In form and looks fairly handicapped. Back from break with two below-par runs this autumn; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

Marsiac goes handicapping in search of his hat-trick, while Good To Be Alive made an encouraging start for Olly Murphy at Huntingdon, although the pick of the four-year-olds could be Loriko, who chased home Wednesday's Newbury winner Kripticjim at Ascot. On the same card in Berkshire, MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE met with misfortune when hampered by a faller, but he went off joint-favourite for that good race on the back of a fine third to Alexei and can gain compensation. Wellington Arch has to be considered on his reappearance given how well he ended his last campaign.

Up in trip after a very promising seasonal/stable/handicap debut over 2m, GOOD TO BE ALIVE gets the vote in an interesting race.

4	4 (4) (5/1 +0%) Victtorino		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) Victtorino 5/1, Won this race in 2023 and 2024; needed the run when down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time; effective at 3m and best on a sound surface; could be involved again. Four wins from five visits to Ascot include the last two editions of this race.
11	11 (11) (5/1 +0%) Pic Roc		5 5/1(+0%)																															(11) Pic Roc 5/1, Had too much to do in a race dominated from the front, having missed the break and jumped poorly when comfortably held in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m2f and acts on soft and good ground; capable of better. Backed for the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury but lost his chance at the start.
10	10 (10) (9/1 +0%) Deep Cave		9 9/1(+0%)																															(10) Deep Cave 9/1, Needed every yard and improved on his first chase run for this yard when landing a handicap chase by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; stays 3m1f well and acts on soft and good ground; still unexposed over fences. Did it nicely back over fences at Bangor and still well treated off 4lb higher.
9	9 (9) (9/2 +0%) Blow Your Wad		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(9) Blow Your Wad 9/2, Returned to form back from a break after a wind operation, up in trip and in a first-time visor, when beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on soft and good ground; can build on that run. Excellent third over C&D last month but hasn't always followed one good run with another.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +0%) Hyland		11 11/1(+0%)																															(8) Hyland 11/1, Yard has won two of the last nine renewals; hampered mid-race and flattened out when well beaten in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time; best at 3m on a sound surface, though rain would be a worry. Last season was positive and ran well for a long way in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury.
7	7 (7) (11/2 +0%) Johnnywho		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(7) Johnnywho 11/2, Outpaced, unsuited by a drop in trip and needed the run when beaten 8l in a handicap chase at Aintree last time; best around 3m and acts on heavy and good ground; still has more to give. Remains a chaser of interest and entitled to step up on his good return at Aintree..
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Transmission		14 14/1(+0%)																															(12) Transmission 14/1, Never jumped or travelled and was unsuited by the ground when well beaten in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; effective from 3m to 3m6f and suited by good ground; conditions may again be against him. Nowhere near his best this season but he'll probably turn a corner at some point.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +0%) Threeunderthrufive		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) Threeunderthrufive 16/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 26l, in the Badger Beers Handicap Chase at Wincanton last time; effective at 3m and suited by a sound surface; form had dipped but now back below his last winning mark. Now has a bit to prove, for all that returning here has to rate a positive.
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Leave Of Absence		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Leave Of Absence 18/1, Yard has won two of the last nine runnings of this race; landed a handicap by 2 1/2l off an 18lb lower mark at Newbury three starts back; ground was too soft last time; enjoys making the running and effective at 3m on a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Prominent racer who usually jumps well; reportedly unsuited by soft ground last time.
1	1 (1) (25/1 +0%) Ga Law		25 25/1(+0%)																															(1) Ga Law 25/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when 22l third in the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase (Grade 2) at Wetherby last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and prefers a sound surface, though rain would be a concern. Approaching two years since his last win but he's classy on his day and they claim 7lb.
6	6 (6) (50/1 +0%) Two For Gold		50 50/1(+0%)																															(6) Two For Gold 50/1, Outpaced and needed the run when comfortably held in the Sodexo Live! Gold Cup here last time; trainer in form; effective at 3m, handles any ground, and goes well at Ascot; veteran not quite at his best but still capable. Well held behind Henry's Friend here last month and he turns 13 very soon.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -20%) Henry's Friend		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) Henry's Friend 12/1, Scored by 2l off a 3lb lower mark here on his penultimate start but never travelled last time; effective from 3m to 3m2f and handles soft and good ground; the handicapper may now have him. 2-2 here and has never shone at Cheltenham, so can be forgiven last week's run there.

LTO Selection:

---

Victtorino has won the last two renewals and cannot be ruled out off his current mark. Blow Your Wad will be sharper for last month's third in a competitive handicap here behind Henry's Friend and may well turn the tables, but it's the latter's stablemate PIC ROC who makes most appeal. Left at the start in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, Ben Pauling's charge found plenty in the closing stages to finish fifth and is worthy of another chance. Deep Cave remains unexposed over fences and is one more to consider.

This is his tenth race over fences but there's a strong suspicion that PIC ROC (nap) still has better days ahead of him.

4	4 (4) (13/8 +7%) William Tell		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(4) William Tell 13/8, Improved for the step up in trip when winning a novice hurdle here by 1¼l last time. Effective between 2¼m and 2¾m, acts on yielding and good ground. Progressive type who could complete a hat-trick. C&D winner last month on softer ground; this looks a deeper race, so more likely needed.
1	1 (1) (5/2 +50%) He Can't Dance		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(1) He Can't Dance 5/2, Made mistakes but improved for his debut experience under a positive ride when 12l third in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time. Effective from 2m to 2m5f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. A bumper and point winner progressing over hurdles. Quite smart bumper form but underwhelming so far hurdling; tongue-tied now.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +0%) Reiki Revolution		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(5) Reiki Revolution 10/3, Pulled up in a Navan handicap hurdle last time. Effective up to 3m and handles decent ground. Capable of better when getting his preferred conditions. Heavy ground may not have suited latest; respected back on better ground.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -7%) Minella Supreme		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(2) Minella Supreme 15/2, Travelled well but flattened out up the hill when comfortably held in a Cheltenham novice hurdle last time. Previously in good form; wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective around 2½m but yet to prove stamina for further; acts on good ground. Didn't appear to get home over 3m at Cheltenham; back in trip here with tongue-tie tried.
3	3 (3) (9/1 -20%) Some Song		9 9/1(-20%)																															(3) Some Song 9/1, Won a Down Royal maiden hurdle by 18l last time and returns after a short break. Effective at about 2¾m and acts on good ground. Represents a top yard with more to come but needs to progress again in this higher grade. Fortunate Down Royal maiden winner has much more on his plate here.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +43%) Obey The Order		16 16/1(+43%)																															(8) Obey The Order 16/1, Below form when stepped up in trip and finished down the field in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground. Needs to show more to get off the mark. Excuses last time but remains unproven over this far.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -11%) Long Branch		20 20/1(-11%)																															(9) Long Branch 20/1, Ran to form up in trip when fourth, beaten 18l, in a Cork handicap hurdle last time. Effective around 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground. Likely to prove vulnerable at this level. Improving 5yo could prove each-way value with talented rider's 7lb claim and light weight.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -10%) Alpha Zeta		22 22/1(-10%)																															(6) Alpha Zeta 22/1, May have found the ground too testing when comfortably held in a Naas mares bumper last time. Effective up to 2m4f and has an obvious chance returned to a bumper. Heavy may not have suited last time; better ground to suit but needs to improve.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -18%) Jisco Du Brem		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) Jisco Du Brem 33/1, Ran to form but was well beaten in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good ground. Longer trip should help but needs to find more. Disappointing so far hurdling, may need more time.

LTO Selection:

WILLIAM TELL has progressed with each run over hurdles and followed up a Cork maiden hurdle win by scoring over C&D last month. That form has received a couple of boosts since and the six-year-old gets the vote to complete a hat-trick. He Can't Dance was a useful sort in bumpers last season and has been placed on both outings since sent over hurdles this term, including behind Champagne Kid over slightly shorter at Punchestown last time. Minella Supreme and Reiki Revolution, who struggled on heavy ground last time, have both won maiden hurdles, while Some Song was a very fortunate winner at Down Royal.

The best of these in bumpers, HE CAN'T DANCE has been underwhelming so far over hurdles but could improve in a first-time tongue-tie

4	4 (4) (11/4 +21%) Prince Achille		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Prince Achille 11/4, Scored by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here two runs back and ran to form last time. Effective 10-12f and acts on AW. Up another 2lb but should go well. Five of his six wins have come over C&D; only beaten a nose last time and high on the list.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +0%) Dingwall		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Dingwall 9/2, Scored by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts ago. Far too keen but did well considering last time. Effective 8-10f on AW; new mark may not stop him if settling. In fine form in recent weeks with three wins (demoted once) and a second; hard to rule out.
10	10 (10) (11/2 +21%) Showstorm		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(10) Showstorm 11/2, May have needed the run back from 12 months off when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Redcar. Cheekpieces first time and off a short break. Effective 6-10f on AW; stamina to prove. Unplaced in four starts on turf; has plenty of AW winners in his familly; cheekpieces on.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +0%) Word Of Mouth		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Word Of Mouth 13/2, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Returning from a break and acts on AW. Headgear now removed. 0-7 and not really progressing; something to prove back from 131 days off.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -8%) Bearwith		7 7/1(-8%)																															(1) Bearwith 7/1, Too keen tried in blinkers, finished strongly when 6 1/2l third in a handicap here last time. Suited by 10-12f and acts on AW. Capable off this mark. C&D winner who ran well when third here a week ago; solid chance.
6	6 (6) (7/1 -8%) King Chaos		7 7/1(-8%)																															(6) King Chaos 7/1, Made late gains when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Usually held up and suited by 10-12f on AW. Needs more to figure. Usually gets going too late; 0-14 in handicaps and others make greater appeal.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +18%) Sea Legend		9 9/1(+18%)																															(3) Sea Legend 9/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Top course jockey booked and usually held up. Effective 10/11f on AW. 1-27 and finished behind three of these here a week ago; has burst blood vessels.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +36%) Golspie		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Golspie 9/1, Below form when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Trainer in form and suited by 10/11f on AW. Needs more off a 2lb lower mark. 2-29 (0-17 on the AW) and finished behind two of these over C&D seven days ago.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +17%) Blackwater Lilly		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Blackwater Lilly 10/1, Ran to form up in trip on handicap debut in cheekpieces when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Carlisle. Returning from a break and acts on AW. Has more to offer. Makes her AW debut after 138 days off; worth monitoring in the market.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +0%) Star Cast		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Star Cast 14/1, Below form back up in trip when down the field in a handicap here latest. Effective 8-10f and acts on AW. Needs to bounce back. 0-11; has shown ability but only beat one home over C&D last time; look elsewhere.
12	12 (12) (33/1 +0%) Nakatomi		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Nakatomi 33/1, Again below form tried in blinkers when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective 10-12f on AW; form trending the wrong way. Regressive maiden (0-13); hard to fancy from 4lb out of the weights.
11	11 (11) (40/1 0%) Galileo's Compass		40 40/1(0%)																															(11) Galileo's Compass 40/1, Well held after being hampered when down the field in a handicap here last time. Blinkers first time and acts on AW. Struggling since summer win. Has regressed since sole win; has plenty on from 4lb out of the weights; blinkers on.

LTO Selection:

---

A dual winner on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last month, Dingwall has been consistent. However, a 4lb rise after his second at Chelmsford is a concern and slender preference is for PRINCE ACHILLE. Successful over C&D before narrowly losing out over track and trip, the six-year-old's effectiveness at this venue is the persuasive factor in the casting vote. Bearwith, Sea Legend and Golspie have form that ties them together and they warrant betting checks.

The vote goes to PRINCE ACHILLE who came within a nose of recording a sixth C&D success last time.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +9%) Super Survivor		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(1) Super Survivor 5/2, Improved again under a positive ride when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective up to 3m1f and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; back in form. Two wins last winter and back on track when second on last month's reappearance at Windsor.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +0%) Gege Ville		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Gege Ville 4/1, Ran to form and appeared to relish the step up in trip when beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr last time. Trainer in form; returning from a long layoff but effective around 2 1/2m and acts on heavy and soft ground; was in good form when last seen. Strong finishes over 2m3f/2m4f last winter and could have more to offer now up in trip.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +36%) Ernest Gray		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(4) Ernest Gray 9/2, Ran to form and got first run on the runner-up when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Aintree last time. Off a short break; effective at 3m, suited by good ground, but mark demands more. 2 wins on good ground this year; key player if transferring improvement back to soft going.
10	10 (10) (11/2 +15%) Gwennie May Star		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(10) Gwennie May Star 11/2, Outpaced but improved, needing every yard when up in trip at a sharp track, landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Warwick last time. Effective from 2m to 3m; steadily progressing and unexposed as a stayer. Won on stable debut at Warwick and this 5yo could have more in the tank at staying trips.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +28%) Jalisco Star		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(8) Jalisco Star 13/2, Did it cosily when landing a handicap by 9 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. The further the better, acts on any ground; a progressive hurdler who remains on a fair mark. Reverted to hurdles with easy win at Uttoxeter; this is hotter but respected nevertheless.
2	2 (2) (7/1 -17%) Idem		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Idem 7/1, Outpaced and unsuited by how the race developed but ran roughly to form when beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Effective at 3m on decent ground and remains in form. Not beaten far on either run this term but needs something extra in this competitive race.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -11%) Imperial Merlin		10 10/1(-11%)																															(6) Imperial Merlin 10/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective between 2m5f and 3m and acts on any ground; generally consistent. C&D winner who kept on for fourth over 2m5f at Wetherby latest; player now back up in trip.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -25%) Saint Palais		25 25/1(-25%)																															(5) Saint Palais 25/1, Stopped quickly and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective around 3m and acts on soft ground; fairly treated on old chase form but inconsistent. In contention when falling two out on reappearance but tailed off at Windsor 12 days later.
3	3 (3) (25/1 +38%) Secret Trix		25 25/1(+38%)																															(3) Secret Trix 25/1, Outpaced and below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Best around 3m and acts on soft and good ground; generally consistent before that effort. 6-time hurdle winner who has dropped down weights, but hasn't threatened on last two runs.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +20%) Caughtinyourtrance		40 40/1(+20%)																															(7) Caughtinyourtrance 40/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of, needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Effective around 2m6f and acts on soft and good ground; needs to reproduce summer form in handicaps. Two wins at Cartmel in the summer but tailed off at Carlisle only last Sunday.

LTO Selection:

---

ERNEST GRAY is now starting to fulfil his early promise and built on a Worcester second when going one better at Aintree. That race is working out well and although he encounters softer ground now, it shouldn't be a problem. Gwennie May Star stayed on stoutly to just prevail at Warwick, and conditions won't be a problem for Jalisco Star either following her recent Uttoxeter triumph. Super Survivor can step forward from his solid Windsor comeback, while Gege Ville is worth a look despite the absence.

Nicky Richards continues in excellent form and the very lightly raced 9yo GEGE VILLE could have untapped potential over a staying trip.

1	1 (1) (4/1 +38%) Cribbins		4 4/1(+38%)																															(1) Cribbins 4/1, €52,000 breeze-up purchase by Bernardini; dam was moderate over 10f; faces a tough enough task on debut. Trainer-owned newcomer from a Flat-geared yard that's 0-5 in bumpers in recent seasons.
10	10 (10) (5/1 -25%) Twenties Icon		5 5/1(-25%)																															(10) Twenties Icon 5/1, A bit green under pressure but showed promise when beaten 6 1/4l in a juvenile bumper at Wincanton on debut; effective at 2m on good ground; should improve with experience. Hooded at Wincanton (good) and stuck to his guns to finish just over 6l off the winner.
13	13 (13) (10/1 +0%) Silvereen		10 10/1(+0%)																															(13) Silvereen 10/1, Outpaced but made a modest debut when 11l fourth in a juvenile bumper at Ludlow; effective at 2m on good ground; plenty more needed. 14-1 at Ludlow and showed some ability in finishing fourth of the eight runners.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Roi Des Diamants		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Roi Des Diamants 33/1, Honolulu gelding; wears cheekpieces for the first time; dam a chase winner in France; betting can guide. Stable 1-11 in bumpers recent seasons and cheekpieces are fitted from the outset.
5	5 (5) (40/1 +20%) Receipt		40 40/1(+20%)																															(5) Receipt 40/1, Green under pressure when well beaten in a juvenile bumper at Aintree on his only start; trainer in form; this is easier but he has plenty to prove. This might be an easier race than at Aintree but he was completely tailed off (22-1).

LTO Selection:

---

Silvereen and Twenties Icon displayed enough ability on their respective debuts to warrant consideration, but it may pay to focus on the unraced brigade. CRIBBINS, a son of Bernardini, shouldn't be found lacking for speed and catches the eye as a rare bumper runner for Jamie Osborne. Fellow newcomers Upton's Mighty Oak and Scott's Legacy are other intriguing types and the market may prove informative.

The Twiston-Davies yard has won this twice in recent seasons so SCOTT'S LEGACY has to be of interest.

12	12 (12) (5/2 +0%) Mondo Man		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(12) Mondo Man 5/2, Again below best when second beaten 3/4l in a novice hurdle at Lingfield latest; effective at 2m, acts on GS and G; could go well on handicap debut. Useful Flat racer; 0-4 over hurdles but looks well treated for handicap debut; big player.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +0%) Fiercely Proud		8 8/1(+0%)																															(6) Fiercely Proud 8/1, Won this last year; outpaced, returned to form back from break albeit comfortably held in Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last time; effective 2m, acts on S, GS; 14lb better off Alexei and can go well. Won this 12 months ago and shaped nicely on reappearance; interesting contender.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +0%) Alexei		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Alexei 9/2, Travelled and went clear with ease when landing the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle by 6l off a 13lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time. Effective from 2m to 2m3f, acts on soft and good to firm. Highly progressive but now 13lb higher. Improving quickly, winning here and at Cheltenham last two starts; high on the list.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Helnwein		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Helnwein 10/1, Travelled well and ran to form when second, beaten 6l, in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2m and suited by decent ground. Consistent performer, though rain would be a concern. Chased home clearcut winner Alexei in the Greatwood; obvious each-way claims again.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +0%) Wilful		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(5) Wilful 11/2, Ran to form back from a break when beaten 4l off a 1lb lower mark at Chepstow last time. Likes to make the running. Returns after a short break; effective at 2m and acts on any ground. In form. Pleasing return from break when third at Chepstow; should be in the thick of things again.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +0%) Live Conti		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) Live Conti 14/1, Keen and improved when second, beaten 6l, in the Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 1) at Aintree last time. Effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft. Expected to improve now handicapping but lacks a recent run. Lightly raced 4yo; runner-up in Aintree Grade 1 novice; reappears with stacks of potential.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +0%) Faivoir		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Faivoir 14/1, Travelled well and tired up the hill but returned to form when 13l third in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective around 2m and acts on heavy and good ground. Capable off this mark. Veteran; third to Alexei in the Greatwood at Cheltenham; others appeal more for the win.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +0%) Sticktotheplan		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Sticktotheplan 16/1, Outpaced and below form when unsuited by the drop in trip, finishing 5 1/2l third in the Newton Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Haydock last time. Effective up to 2m4f and acts on good ground, though rain would be a negative. Grade 2 novice winner and better than result suggests last time; not dismissed lightly.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Joyeuse		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Joyeuse 16/1, The yard has won two of the last nine runnings. Again below best when second, beaten 2 1/4l, in a beginners' chase at Exeter last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Reverts to hurdles after chasing was shelved. Beaten favourite in two chases this season; will need career best back over hurdles.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +0%) Wreckless Eric		20 20/1(+0%)																															(10) Wreckless Eric 20/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time, having been in good form prior. Returning from a long layoff. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good ground, but faces a tough task. Unlucky second in the Imperial Cup and had an excuse next time; well worth considering.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +0%) Hardy Du Seuil		25 25/1(+0%)																															(11) Hardy Du Seuil 25/1, Ran to form in reapplied cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Needs more up in grade off a higher mark. Ended losing run at Windsor last month; back up 5lb and faces much stronger opposition.
9	9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Welsh Charger		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Welsh Charger 33/1, Rallied gamely and returned to form when fourth, beaten 13l, in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Remains on a competitive mark. Fourth to Alexei in the Greatwood was a respectable effort but others have more potential.
13	13 (13) (33/1 +0%) Hot Fuss		33 33/1(+0%)																															(13) Hot Fuss 33/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in the Intermediate Handicap Hurdle (Gerry Feilden) at Newbury last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft. Mark looks about right. Fourth at Cheltenham Festival but not at best in three runs since; enough to prove.

LTO Selection:

The highly progressive ALEXEI bids to defy a 13lb hike. A C&D winner before landing the Greatwood at Cheltenham in fine style, another bold bid is anticipated from Joe Tizzard's five-year-old. At the other end of the weights, Mondo Man could prove better than his opening mark with last month's comeback run at Lingfield under his belt, while Live Conti is another making his handicap debut having finished second in the Grade 1 Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree in April. Wilful is preferred to last year's winner Fiercely Proud of the rest.

Wreckless Eric still has potential but the verdict goes to MONDO MAN who may well have been let in lightly for his handicap debut.

9	9 (9) (2/1 +0%) Lennon Grove		2 2/1(+0%)																															(9) Lennon Grove 2/1, Improved from debut when second, beaten 3/4l in an auction bumper here last time; off a short break; effective at 3m on good ground and progressing for a leading yard. Point winner, still a little green when second here in October, may go one better now.
16	16 (16) (11/4 +31%) Tountinna		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(16) Tountinna 11/4, Ran to form when third, beaten 2l in a bumper at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m and needs more to get off the mark. Long-priced third of eight at Punchestown, could make her presence felt now.
15	15 (15) (50/1 -25%) Torque De Lune		50 50/1(-25%)																															(15) Torque De Lune 50/1, Showed minor promise when 34l fourth in a Ladies bumper at Limerick on debut; effective at 2m on heavy ground and should improve with experience. Remote fourth of seven first time out at Limerick, considerable improvement needed.
21	21 (21) (50/1 -25%) Dlightofdsun		50 50/1(-25%)																															(21) Dlightofdsun 50/1, Outpaced but finished well on a promising debut when well beaten in a bumper at Clonmel; effective at 2m on soft ground and should improve for that experience. Third reserve, noted making some late headway at Clonmel, others are more appealing.
11	11 (11) (150/1 -50%) Loughdoo		150 150/1(-50%)																															(11) Loughdoo 150/1, Pulled up in a bumper at Fairyhouse last time; plenty more needed to figure. Remote fourth on debut, pulled up on second outing, can be safely ruled out.
12	12 (12) (150/1 -20%) Not Leaving Yet		150 150/1(-20%)																															(12) Not Leaving Yet 150/1, Continued poor form when comfortably held in a Ladies bumper at Tramore last time; effective at 2 1/2m but has shown little over hurdles or in bumpers. Nothing in her form so far to suggest she can win a race like this.

LTO Selection:

Patrick Mullins is a significant booking on WICKED PLEASURE and the Henry de Bromhead-trained filly gets the vote to make a winning debut. The daughter of Harzand is a full sister to recent hurdle winner Zanoosh and a half-sister to five other winners, including smart staying chaser Brave Eagle. Fastnet Crystal is another interesting newcomer from a top yard and is from the family of smart bumper performer Mono Man. Lennon Grove is one of the few with previous bumper experience and filled the runner-up spot here last time, while Tountinna was only headed in the closing stages at Punchestown last month.

This looks like a good opportunity for LENNON GROVE to step up a place from her C&D second at the end of October.

Progressive sort who is 2-2 in 5f nurseries and can defy the handicapper again.

COMIC STRIP is 2-2 in nurseries and having done only what was required to win those races, a 4lb rise for his latest success could be readily manageable for the Crisfords' progressive youngster. All three of his rivals know what it takes to win and there is very little to split Sands Of Josepi, Straight Ahead and Jack The Bachelor. With this representing a drop in class, perhaps the last-named could be the biggest danger.

Sands Of Josepi can go well but COMIC STRIP has looked to have a bit up his sleeve the last twice and can complete the hat-trick.

In good form in the autumn but this is competitive after a break and she's 1-12 on AW.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Kewmill		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Kewmill 14/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Chelmsford last time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; considered on handicap debut. Unexposed 3yo and she's a possible improver back in trip on handicap debut.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +60%) Toomuchforme		20 20/1(+60%)																															(1) Toomuchforme 20/1, Below form when stepped up in trip and finished down the field in a Southwell handicap last time; effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; yet to recapture 2yo form. Has form figures of 09090 in handicaps this year and she needs a major revival.
5	5 (5) (40/1 -60%) Bear Rock		40 40/1(-60%)																															(5) Bear Rock 40/1, Ran as though something was amiss when well beaten in a Chester handicap latest; off a short break; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; below best form recently. Haydock winner but she's lost her way in last two starts and needs a big turnaround.

LTO Selection:

---

There are plenty of in-form options to pick from here but none more so than Marco Botti's ADDARELLA, who put a frustrating run of top-three finishes behind her with a C&D success last month. A similar positive ride from Marco Ghiani could see her follow up despite an added 4lb from the handicapper. Kewmill may represent some value dropped back in trip if she settles better on her handicap debut, while Woodhay Whisper is another to note.

This is competitive but the vote goes to ADDARELLA, who made the breakthrough with a comfortable success over C&D last month.

Creditable efforts over 7f/1m here on her last three starts; in the mix once again.
7	7 (7) (7/2 +13%) Calypso Breeze		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(7) Calypso Breeze 7/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start. Below form when the ground may have been too soft last time. Off a short break and effective at 7f on the all-weather; must bounce back returning to this surface. Well backed when winning on her nursery debut (7f, AW); flopped on soft since; unexposed.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +20%) Runninman		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Runninman 4/1, Bit keen but ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a nursery here most recent run; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; pedigree mix of speed and stamina; drop in trip might suit. Fair third on nursery debut last month (1m); work to do with Lope Harswell; headgear added.
2	2 (2) (11/2 +21%) Surgeon Commander		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(2) Surgeon Commander 11/2, Made late headway off a break when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Open to improvement. Took a step backwards kept to 6f here yesterday but may do better still; not written off.
10	10 (10) (13/2 +46%) Nutbean		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Nutbean 13/2, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a novice at Chester last time. Blinkers on for the first time and off a short break. Pedigree mixes stamina influences and needs more now handicapping. Poor form in three 6f turf runs; several reasons to expect better today.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +0%) Diamond Aura		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(3) Diamond Aura 15/2, May not have stayed the longer trip when well beaten in a novice here last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. May have more to offer. Mark looks tough on racecourse evidence but she is bred to do better; headgear now tried.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Lina Codina		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Lina Codina 8/1, Well held off a stiff mark when beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Thirsk last time. The trainer is in form and she returns from a break. Yet to find suitable conditions and needs more down 3lb. Absent since July but up in trip, down in grade and tackling a new surface; may do better.
6	6 (6) (11/1 +8%) Charcon		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Charcon 11/1, Improved but maybe flattered when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here latest; effective at 6f, acts on AW; may do better now handicapping. Not easily recommended on racecourse evidence but open to improvement now handicapping.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +0%) Sunniva		12 12/1(+0%)																															(5) Sunniva 12/1, Always last off a break dropped in trip when beaten 8l in a nursery here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on G, GF, AW; needs to bounce back. Only third when favourite for her nursery debut in August (7f); 6f too sharp latest.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +0%) Elemental		18 18/1(+0%)																															(9) Elemental 18/1, Below form when well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; bred to be effective 6/7f; may do better now handicapping. No impact in three 6f novice events, the last two on Tapeta; this should be more suitable.

LTO Selection:

---

With several nursery debutants and potential improvers on show, the betting could be a good source of clues. The likes of Charcon, Calypso Breeze and Runninman won't need to step forward by much to have an impact. However, the safest option might be LOPE HARSWELL, who has tackled stronger opposition than she faces here. Fourth over a mile at the track last time, the third has subsequently franked that form and this return to 7f will suit.

Soft ground was an excuse for a disappointing run at Leicester and CALYPSO BREEZE is better judged on her earlier Wolverhampton win.

1	1 (1) (11/10 +37%) Carnival Queen		1.1 11/10(+37%)																															(1) Carnival Queen 11/10, Showed promise on debut when beaten 7l in a novice here, performing better than the result suggests. Trainer is in good form. Returns from a short break and bred to be effective around 8-10f, so improvement is likely up in trip. 350,000gns yearling; ran green on debut and she's a likely improver on her second start.
4	4 (4) (3/1 -9%) Koala Rose		3 3/1(-9%)																															(4) Koala Rose 3/1, 13 Apr; 110,000 euros Australia filly; half-sister to several winners, including Harrison Point, very useful at 7f; dam very smart at 10f; one to consider on debut for top yard. 110,000euros yearling; plenty to like on paper and yard is 21% with 2yos this year.

Effective at 8f and should stay further; needs more. Went close at Lingfield 17 days ago and she's open to more progress; respected.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +20%) Elenaya		16 16/1(+20%)																															(2) Elenaya 16/1, Too keen and below expectations on debut when well beaten in a Lingfield maiden.

9	9 (9) (16/1 +20%) Treasured Moments		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Treasured Moments 16/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a novice at Southwell on only start. Pedigree suggests a mix of speed and stamina, and she should improve with experience. Made a low-key start at Southwell and needs major improvement upped in trip.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Stellar World		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Stellar World 33/1, Improved on a modest debut when beaten 10l in a Southwell novice last time. Bred for 10f or further and looks the type to progress once handicapping. Well held in two AW runs (1m) this autumn and handicaps will be more suitable.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Sweet Mabel		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Sweet Mabel 33/1, Showed improvement from debut when beaten 6l in a novice here last time despite a wide draw. Bred to be effective from 7-10f and can continue to progress. Well held in two 7f runs since October and has a lot to find on this step up in trip.

LTO Selection:

---

Kokoluna is the form pick after her second over the Lingfield mile last time out, beaten half a length and closing at the line. She can prove the biggest threat to Charlie Appleby's CARNIVAL QUEEN, a daughter of Ghaiyyath who showed signs of inexperience when sixth on her debut here, starting slowly, green and never landing a blow. She can only learn from that and is worth another chance. Five Moons is an interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to CARNIVAL QUEEN who ran green here in October but she still showed clear promise behind a useful prospect.

Third of five in a slowly-run 7f novice here last month; now tongue tied; may do better.

Left the impression she could leave her C&D debut form well behind her in time; big player.

1	1 (1) (11/2 -10%) Beckon		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) Beckon 11/2, Every chance when backing up her debut effort dropped in trip, finishing 2 1/4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 7f or 8f; could improve tried over further. Two promising AW runs this winter; return to a mile in her favour; solid claims.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +33%) Very Demure		8 8/1(+33%)																															(4) Very Demure 8/1, Showed some promise when beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Kempton on debut; returning from a break; likely to appreciate 8–10f; should improve. Ran okay in a 1m fillies' maiden at Kempton in August; open to improvement.

LTO Selection:

---

ARC LA SHARI showed ability over 7f here on debut when third to the odds-on favourite. The daughter of Pinatubo faces an easier task and is open to improvement, with this extra yardage likely to play to her strengths. Beckon arrives on the back of finishing third at Wolverhampton and has shown enough to suggest she can have a say in the outcome, while Fille Imbassee is another to consider.

Beckon should be involved back at a mile but FANCIULLA DEL WEST may leave her debut fourth well behind her tonight.

Fair fourth on nursery debut at Kempton and ties in with Tinsel on that form; in the mix.

One of two runners George Boughey and she needs a transformation at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

Snaafy showed a willing attitude to make all here last time out and, if he stays the extra yardage, he won't be easy to pass. Onyeisi will be challenging late after winning by a head at Chelmsford, but a chance is taken on ZIPWIRE. Third here behind Snaafy latest, he races off 1lb lower before Taylor Fisher's 3lb claim, which may give him the edge in his bid to reverse the form.

It might be worth taking a chance with TINSEL, who was an eyecatcher at Kempton and looks interesting at this new trip.

Thriving in recent months and latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Both wins at 6f but stays 7f; whether he wants this far remains to be seen though.
8	8 (8) (6/1 -9%) Lessay		6 6/1(-9%)																															(8) Lessay 6/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start; ran to form last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f on the all-weather; can go well again.

Blew hot and cold after his Hamilton win in May; others look more convincing after a break.

Tribal Wisdom arrives at the top of his game having won three of his last four starts, all on Tapeta. Moon Beginnings is burdened with top weight for his handicap debut but could still feature with further improvement likely, while CALLIANASSA returns to this venue with solid claims. Below her best at York last time, Brian Ellison's four-year-old completed a brace over C&D before that and remains of interest, despite a 4lb higher mark.

The unexposed Moon Beginnings is interesting but TRIBAL WISDOM arrives on the up and can defy his latest 3lb rise.

Struggled back from a long absence at Southwell last month and has plenty to prove.

SPARTAN ARROW returns to handicap company for the first time since finishing a close second in the Epsom Dash in June. The subsequent winner of a Group 3 at Dundalk, Archie Watson's charge holds every chance in a competitive contest. Rhythm N Hooves has finished thereabouts off similar marks of late. He looks a bigger threat in this grade than Alligator Alley, who is upped in class after scoring here on Monday.

The vote goes to SPARTAN ARROW who was as good as ever when winning a Group 3 last time and is a major player again back in a handicap.

C&D winner in November; didn't get the rub of the green next time; should be thereabouts.
8	8 (8) (8/1 -14%) Crownthorpe		8 8/1(-14%)																															(8) Crownthorpe 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Suited by 8f and best on all-weather. Competitive mark still. Veteran; arrives in decent form; others appeal more for the win but he should be involved.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -9%) Heretic		12 12/1(-9%)																															(2) Heretic 12/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell three starts ago. Below form down in trip last time but effective at 8f and acts well on all-weather. Step back up in trip may help. Two wins at Southwell in October but seems to have gone off the boil.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +0%) The Doonan		12 12/1(+0%)																															(1) The Doonan 12/1, Below form down in trip when comfortably held in a seller at Leicester last time. Top course jockey booked. Off a short break and effective from 7f to 9f. Step back up in trip may help now handicapping. Unplaced all three starts; may improve now handicapping but hard to fancy on form.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -13%) Ratafia		18 18/1(-13%)																															(3) Ratafia 18/1, Again below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Off a short break and suited by 7f to 8f. Form has tailed off lately. Won over this trip at Yarmouth in June but has failed to repeat the form; needs a revival.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +45%) Pallas Lord		18 18/1(+45%)																															(7) Pallas Lord 18/1, Again ran to a moderate level when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f to 8f and better on all-weather. In terrible form. Multiple course winner but hasn't shown his form since March; others preferred.
10	10 (10) (40/1 +0%) Easter Sundae		40 40/1(+0%)																															(10) Easter Sundae 40/1, Again ran to a moderate level dropped 4f in trip when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and yet to find suitable conditions. Taking another big drop in trip. 0-9; returns from layoff after stable switch; hard to recommend but worth a market check.
9	9 (9) (66/1 +0%) Showmethewayhome		66 66/1(+0%)																															(9) Showmethewayhome 66/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Effective at 8f. Out of form in 2025. 15-race maiden with placed form but few positives to take from last five races.

LTO Selection:

AISLING OSCAR completed a hat-trick of course wins when scoring over 7f last time. Adrian Keatley's charge beat a subsequent winner in the process and may not have finished yet. Military Leader has been threatening to open his account and steps up in trip with a shout, while Crownthorpe slips further down the weights and the veteran shaped well when fourth over C&D on Tuesday.

At some point the handicapper will catch up with AISLING OSCAR (nap) but Adrian Keatley's 4yo is thriving and may complete a four-timer.

10	10 (10) (13/8 -8%) Upepo		1.625 13/8(-8%)																															(10) Upepo 13/8, Travelled strongly and scored in style when landing a handicap by 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time. From a top course trainer; effective from 12f to 16f on the all-weather; strong chance having escaped a penalty. Easy win at Lingield on Wednesday and he escapes a penalty; strong contender.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +82%) Skycutter		2.5 5/2(+82%)																															(5) Skycutter 5/2, Produced best work late when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Likes to make the running and is effective up to 2m on the all-weather; still has something to prove. Signs of a revival when eyecatching sixth over C&D; dangerous if he can build on that.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +20%) Must Believe		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) Must Believe 4/1, Improved and just did enough to land a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective from 10f to 14f on a sound surface and still on a fair mark. Improver who beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Southwell (1m3f) latest; big player.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +9%) Cannon Rock		5 5/1(+9%)																															(1) Cannon Rock 5/1, Ran to form when beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time in first-time blinkers. Effective from 10f to 12f and handles a sound surface; chance if the blinkers work again. Went close in first-time blinkers at Kempton and is a big player if he can back that up.
2	2 (2) (15/2 +0%) Yokohama		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(2) Yokohama 15/2, Ran close to form when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 10f and acts on the all-weather; generally consistent. On dangerous mark but he's untried at this trip and sole win was on debut in 2023.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +11%) Eupator		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Eupator 8/1, Raced a bit wide and below form dropped in trip when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Blinkers on for the first time; stays 12f and handles the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Eight-race maiden who has been disappointing in last two starts; blinkers are now added.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -9%) Meet Me In Meraki		12 12/1(-9%)																															(4) Meet Me In Meraki 12/1, Scored by 4 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here in October and ran to form last time. Effective from 8f to 12f and handles the all-weather; could have a say. Completed a double over C&D in October and was good third at Lingfield latest; in the mix.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Civil Law		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Civil Law 14/1, Below form tried in cheekpieces when well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective up to 12f on the all-weather; inconsistent and now without headgear. His last win was over two years ago and has struggled in last two runs (1m4f); opposable.
9	9 (9) (40/1 +20%) Flaine		40 40/1(+20%)																															(9) Flaine 40/1, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark here in October but showed little after blowing the start last time. Usually held up; effective from 8f to 10f on the all-weather; stamina remains unproven. Two wins here (9.4f) in the autumn but she's lost her way in last three starts.
8	8 (8) (40/1 +50%) Oviedo		40 40/1(+50%)																															(8) Oviedo 40/1, Failed to beat a rival when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently. Usually held up; effective up to 10f on a sound surface; continues in steep decline. On much reduced mark but last win was in 2023 and he's been tailed off the last twice.

LTO Selection:

---

Must Believe has won twice over 1m3f since September and is not easily discounted. Cannon Rock was narrowly beaten over the same distance at Kempton last time and will be hard to keep out of the finish, but MEET ME IN MERAKI is marginally preferred. He recorded a double under Billy Loughnane back in October, including a C&D success, and the four-year-old may not have finished improving yet.

It's hard to get away from UPEPO (nap), who turned things around with an easy win at Lingfield on Wednesday and escapes a penalty.

1	1 (1) (2/1 +20%) Counting Cards		2 2/1(+20%)																															(1) Counting Cards 2/1, Bit keen but ran to form after a wind operation when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Second run after the wind operation; off a short break; effective 6-8f; drop in trip no issue and could have a big say. Pleasing handicap debut when 2nd at Southwell in October (1m); unexposed and 7f can help.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +0%) Bajan Bandit		4 4/1(+0%)																															(5) Bajan Bandit 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here on his penultimate start and ran to form when staying on late for second last time. Trainer in form; suited by 7/8f; in fine form over C&D and can go well again up 1lb. Arrives on the back of two good C&D runs; likely to be in the thick of it once more.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +20%) Just Typical		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) Just Typical 4/1, Too keen but did well considering when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Top course jockey; suited by 7/8f; can go well again. Had a fine year and ran right up to his best when third over C&D last week; contender.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +7%) Gressington		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(4) Gressington 13/2, Made late headway and ran to form down in trip when beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective 6-8f; mark continues to ease. Fair efforts on last 3 visits to Newcastle; closely matched with Bajan Bandit on latest.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +25%) Brazilian Rose		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Brazilian Rose 15/2, Too keen and again below form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective 6/7f; enough to prove for now. Three 6f wins here in January; mixed record more recently and others appeal more.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +0%) They All Know Me		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(3) They All Know Me 15/2, Bit below form when 6 1/2l third in a novice here on latest run. Top course trainer; off a short break; effective 7/8f; doesn't look straightforward but could do better handicapping. Lightly raced 3yo but improvement will be needed to make a winning handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +10%) Samra Star		9 9/1(+10%)																															(7) Samra Star 9/1, Scored by 2l off a 2lb lower mark here in October but was below her best when fifth last time. Effective 7-9f; suited by all-weather; has lost form of late. Conditions fine and running well enough of late; doesn't look ahead of her mark though.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +30%) Miners Gamble		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Miners Gamble 14/1, Found little and ran below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective 8-10f; taking a big drop in trip. Two runs this month (after a break) have been underwhelming; big drop in trip today.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +36%) Bobby Joe Leg		16 16/1(+36%)																															(8) Bobby Joe Leg 16/1, Didn't find much and ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective 7f and much better on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Two heavy defeats back from six months off and only been dropped 2lb; vulnerable for now.
2	2 (2) (22/1 +21%) Monotone		22 22/1(+21%)																															(2) Monotone 22/1, May have needed the run after a wind operation when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective 5-7f; mark falling but hard to fancy. Not shone in two runs for new yard; drops in class but others have more pressing claims.

LTO Selection:

---

COUNTING CARDS remains a maiden but ran well when second over a mile at Southwell on his first start since being gelded and undergoing wind surgery and he looks the likeliest winner. Bajan Bandit could the biggest danger after a win and a second here on his last two starts. Bobby Joe Leg has a good Newcastle record, with nine victories over the 7f, and although not at his best last time when a well-beaten sixth, he has won off this mark and higher.

Counting Cards is open to further progress but BAJAN BANDIT arrives in top form and remains well treated.

7	7 (7) (6/5 +31%) Westcombe		1.2 6/5(+31%)																															(7) Westcombe 6/5, Did plenty early but battled on to win a handicap by a head off this mark at Kempton last time; effective from 10-12f and acts on the all-weather; no penalty and should go close with more to come. Unexposed 3yo; escapes penalty for recent Kempton win; leading contender off same mark.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +32%) So Alex		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(5) So Alex 9/4, Improved again when winning a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective from 8-12f and acts on the all-weather; has a good chance of a hat-trick despite a 6lb rise. Progressive; C&D wins in November and December; 6lb rise may not prevent a hat-trick.
2	2 (2) (6/1 0%) I'd Go Maniac		6 6/1(0%)																															(2) I'd Go Maniac 6/1, Ran to form, strong at the finish in landing a handicap by a nose off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on fast ground and AW; remains on a fair mark. Made winning handicap debut over C&D last month; up only 1lb and open to further progress.
3	3 (3) (7/1 -8%) Charlie's Choice		7 7/1(-8%)																															(3) Charlie's Choice 7/1, Bit wide but ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f, acts on GF and AW; can again go well from this mark. Tough 5yo; second at Lingfield on Wednesday; in the mix but faces some unexposed rivals.
4	4 (4) (15/2 -15%) Lightning Touch		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(4) Lightning Touch 15/2, Ran to form, finishing best when beaten a nose off this mark here last time; trainer in form; effective from 10-12f and suited by a sound surface; a consistent filly. Went agonisingly close to shedding maiden tag over C&D last month; should be involved.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +13%) Appier		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Appier 14/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; too keen but ran to form last time; suited by 12-14f and acts well on the all-weather; dropped 1lb and can be competitive. Respectable third here 12 days ago but more needed to regain the winning thread.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +36%) Enthused		16 16/1(+36%)																															(6) Enthused 16/1, Below form when stepped up in trip and beaten 10l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective up to 12f and acts on the all-weather; needs more to feature. Recent Flat runs have been well below par; opposable in warm race for the grade.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -10%) Three Yorkshiremen		22 22/1(-10%)																															(8) Three Yorkshiremen 22/1, Scored by 8 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here two starts back; just about ran to form off the new mark last time; effective from 9-12f and acts on the all-weather; needs more. Only sixth to So Alex last time and no obvious reason why he'll turn the tables.
10	10 (10) (50/1 +0%) Montpellier Green		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Montpellier Green 50/1, Failed to land a blow when down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently; usually held up; tried between 5-16f this season without much success; out of form in 2025. Won nursery last autumn but has slumped since, well held last time; difficult to recommend.
9	9 (9) (66/1 +56%) Tiger Beetle		66 66/1(+56%)																															(9) Tiger Beetle 66/1, Had too much to do after missing the break when fourth, beaten 17l in a handicap here latest; usually held up; effective at 10f on a sound surface; below par since returning from a layoff. Three AW wins here but he's not in much form; hard to fancy despite falling mark.

LTO Selection:

SO ALEX has shown progressive form since stepping up in trip. The dual C&D winner defied a 5lb rise last time, when scoring with plenty left in the tank, and the hat-trick beckons. I'd Go Maniac just got the better of Lightning Touch when successful here last month and that pair could have a say in proceedings once again, while Charlie's Choice and Westcombe are others to note.

Several of these are unexposed and hat-trick seeker SO ALEX appeals the most, with fellow 3yo Westcombe the main danger.

Knocking at the door before his C&D win 11 days ago; should remain competitive.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +14%) Spun To Gold		3 3/1(+14%)																															(1) Spun To Gold 3/1, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form when sixth last time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on GS, G and AW; more needed up 2lb. Came up short in his bid for four-timer 15 days ago but no surprise were he to bounce back.

Good 2nd in a 0-55 over C&D on Tuesday; now 0-16 but capable of another big run.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Asadjumeirah		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Asadjumeirah 4/1, Below form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f and suited by AW. Can go well now down 1lb. Conditions to suit and he arrives on the back of a series of good runs; one to consider.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +25%) Last Outlaw		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Last Outlaw 9/1, Again below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on AW. Form has tailed off this year. Down in the weights after a couple of lesser efforts; stiff 6f perhaps too much of a test.
10	10 (10) (10/1 +29%) Fircombe Hall		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Fircombe Hall 10/1, Step back in right direction when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here latest; effective at 6f, acts on AW; past C&D winner, bit more like it latest. Multiple C&D winner; Tuesday's C&D 4th his best run after a summer break; each-way shout.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +58%) Prince Of Bel Lir		14 14/1(+58%)																															(3) Prince Of Bel Lir 14/1, Found little and was below form when up in trip in a handicap here most recently. Trainer in form. Effective at 6f and acts on AW. Drop in trip should suit. On dangerous mark; went off too hard on stable debut (7f); better expected tonight.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Master Dandy		16 16/1(+20%)																															(6) Master Dandy 16/1, Showed little in new headgear combination when beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Suited by 6f and acts on AW. Has been struggling of late. Should be well treated but recent efforts have been uninspiring.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +52%) Madame Plaintiff		16 16/1(+52%)																															(9) Madame Plaintiff 16/1, Below form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Suited by 7/8f and acts on AW. In moderate form. Just 1-23 overall and her record for this yard is patchy; others appeal more.
11	11 (11) (20/1 -11%) Yellow Lemons		20 20/1(-11%)																															(11) Yellow Lemons 20/1, No-show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 6-8f and acts on AW. Poor maiden overall. Conditions to suit but she is a 17-race maiden and ran poorly last time.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -18%) Penny Mountain		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) Penny Mountain 33/1, Found little and was well below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 6f and acts on AW. Current mark still looks stiff. Some promise here on penultimate start but less good on Tuesday; others look safer.
12	12 (12) (50/1 +0%) Shoptilyoudrop		50 50/1(+0%)																															(12) Shoptilyoudrop 50/1, Again ran to a moderate level when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7f with best efforts in France on AW. Plenty to prove still for new stable. 16-race maiden; yet to shine for new yard and now she drops in trip.

LTO Selection:

---

The winning run of Spun To Gold ended after he pulled too hard before finishing sixth here but, if he settles, he has every chance of getting involved. Asadjumeirah and Fircombe Hall both have wins here, but the vote goes to PRINCE OF BEL LIR. His last success was off 4lb higher in January and he is entitled to improve for a weakening ninth over further here on his first start since April. Back at his favourite trip with that run behind him, he can take the necessary step forward.

Yorkshire Glory should make another bold bid but PRINCE OF BEL LIR is interesting on his second run for Karl Burke.

Nine-time AW winner but he's finished down the field in last three runs; needs to step up.

Three wins this year and wasn't favoured by weights in a seller last time; not ruled out.
12	12 (12) (9/1 +55%) Simply Blue		9 9/1(+55%)																															(12) Simply Blue 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off this mark here in October but below best again last time.

8	8 (8) (20/1 -11%) Law Of Design		20 20/1(-11%)																															(8) Law Of Design 20/1, A bit below form after a sluggish start when beaten 5 1/2l in a Windsor handicap last time. In good form prior and returning from a break. Effective at 6/7f but unproven on all-weather. Sole win was 15 months ago and was disappointing in his final run for Brian Meehan.
1	1 (1) (25/1 +0%) Qazaq		25 25/1(+0%)																															(1) Qazaq 25/1, Too keen and below best when down the field in a Newcastle handicap last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Probably best at 7f and suited by a sound surface. On a fair mark but currently out of form. Won on AW in first three starts but he's been regressive this year; plenty to prove.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -18%) Mae Amor		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) Mae Amor 33/1, Won by a length off a 3lb lower mark here three starts ago. Below form and held when tight for room last time. Effective at 5/6f and handles a sound surface. Needs more off this mark. 6f winner here in October but she's not made an impact in two runs for new yard since.

STELLENBOSCH had started to become a little frustrating, but she showed the benefit of a summer break when landing a novice race at Southwell in September. The daughter of Wootton Bassett recorded a second career triumph in comfortable fashion at Chelmsford latest and might have been underestimated by a 3lb rise. Sergeant Pep bounced back with a creditable second at Lingfield and must enter calculations along with Thurso.

Top of the list is 3yo STELLENBOSCH, who has won two of her last three starts and is open to more progress.

Thriving; completed Lingfield hat-trick 12 days ago; strongly respected.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +20%) Havana Club		4 4/1(+20%)																															(7) Havana Club 4/1, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark here penultimate start; bit keen, late headway off steady pace last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on GS, GF and AW; step back up in trip will suit. C&D winner at start of the month and not disgraced last time; high on the list again.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +0%) Bomb Squad		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(2) Bomb Squad 9/2, Improved back up in trip beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; solid chance. Tough and consistent; beaten a nose at Southwell eight days ago; key player again.
9	9 (9) (11/2 +45%) Moyowasi		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(9) Moyowasi 11/2, Didn't stay when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; returns from a short break; effective at 8f on the all-weather; drop in trip looks a good move. Unplaced all runs for Charlie Hills but some promise; well worth market check for new yard.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +13%) Harbour Vision		7 7/1(+13%)																															(5) Harbour Vision 7/1, Too keen, didn't get home beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on sound surface; needs more. 8-68 at Wolverhampton; not beaten far here on Monday; should be thereabouts again.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Act Of Violence		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Act Of Violence 10/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently, but had been in good form prior; best at 6f and acts well on the all-weather; down 2lb and could bounce back. Well backed both starts for this yard but has not delivered; needs to turn over a new leaf.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +38%) Hallowed Time		10 10/1(+38%)																															(3) Hallowed Time 10/1, Bit below form when beaten 7l in a handicap at Kempton last time; suited by 6f and acts on the all-weather; needs to build on that latest effort. Had near miss here in January but hasn't repeated the form; unproven beyond sprint trips.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +31%) Mister Mcgregor		11 11/1(+31%)																															(8) Mister Mcgregor 11/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective at 6/7f and acts on the all-weather; back up in trip and could go well. Didn't get clear run last time and he'd shaped quite well the time before; not ruled out.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +31%) My Boy Jack		11 11/1(+31%)																															(10) My Boy Jack 11/1, Again below form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; trainer in form and usually held up; suited by 6/7f and acts on the all-weather; on a long losing run but fairly treated. Hard to win with (3-78) and last three runs have been below par.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +30%) Court Of Session		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Court Of Session 14/1, Again below form up in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; returns after a short break; effective 5–8f and acts on the all-weather; inconsistent and on a long losing run. Hasn't won for a while and latest efforts have been subdued; others preferred.

A confident vote is for DANDY KHAN. Jim Boyle's filly broke her maiden at odds of 40/1 at Lingfield before proving that was no fluke by winning over the same C&D next time and then completing the hat-trick over a mile. Although 4lb higher now, she is clearly thriving and may well have more to offer. Bomb Squad, who was narrowly defeated at Southwell recently, looks the main threat, ahead of Havana Club.

Dandy Khan has obvious claims following a quickfire Lingfield hat-trick but preference is for reliable course winner BOMB SQUAD.

6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Mr Nugget		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(6) Mr Nugget 7/2, Scored by a neck off this mark here three starts back and did best work late when down in trip last time. Trainer in form; effective from 10f to 12f and consistent of late. Won over C&D last month and enoyed no luck back here last time; capable of playing a part.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +10%) Maywedance		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Maywedance 9/2, Back to form when returning to a longer trip, landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Effective from 12f to 14f; should go well off 3lb higher. Stable debut; heavy defeats in two previous visits here and may need further than this now.
10	10 (10) (9/2 +10%) Moonlight Bomb		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(10) Moonlight Bomb 9/2, No-show from off the pace when beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective from 7f to 8f; inconsistent but the longer trip may suit. 0-12 but has shown ability on occasions; still needs to find a bit more upped in trip.
8	8 (8) (11/2 +61%) Neptune Street		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(8) Neptune Street 11/2, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a novice at Newcastle last time. Pedigree suggests a mix of speed and stamina; may improve up in trip on handicap debut. Bred to relish the longer trip on handicap debut, but would like to see money for him.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +7%) Magic Runner		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Magic Runner 13/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here two starts ago. Should have finished closer but ran to form last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and can go well. Running well over C&D lately including a win from a wide draw on penultimate start; chance.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -15%) Pride Of Nepal		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(3) Pride Of Nepal 15/2, Produced best work late and ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time. From a top course trainer, off a short break, and respected off this mark. 0-14 on the AW; may again find one or two too good back from a short break.
12	12 (12) (8/1 -14%) Law Supreme		8 8/1(-14%)																															(12) Law Supreme 8/1, Ran to form in new headgear when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a handicap at Kempton latest. Effective at 8f and that was more like it last time. Creditable fourth at Kempton last time; winner has gone in again since; each-way claims.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -10%) Saturnalia		11 11/1(-10%)																															(4) Saturnalia 11/1, Again below form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective from 8f to 10f; mark continues to ease. Losing run up to 23, but has come well treated and worth a second look.
13	13 (13) (16/1 +0%) Water Tiger		16 16/1(+0%)																															(13) Water Tiger 16/1, Took a step in the right direction when beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces first time; effective at 7f to 8f and needs a bit more up in trip. Out of the frame in five starts; will need to settle better than last time; cheekpieces on.
11	11 (11) (18/1 +0%) Wave Rock		18 18/1(+0%)																															(11) Wave Rock 18/1, Showed small improvement when beaten 9l up in trip in a novice here last time. Usually held up and should be effective around 10f; may do better now handicapping. Modest in three starts; probably only of interest if backed on handicap debut.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +21%) Seraphic		22 22/1(+21%)																															(1) Seraphic 22/1, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective from 10f to 12f; tricky hold-up ride currently out of sorts. Two quiet runs since returning to the AW in September leave him with a bit to prove.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -18%) Fillyfudge		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) Fillyfudge 33/1, Didn't stay and ran well below form when down the field in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 9f to 10f and creeping towards a fair mark but needs more. May not face much competition for the lead, but needs to leave her latest effort behind.
9	9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Shielas Well		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Shielas Well 33/1, Below form after a slow start when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Effective from 8f to 12f and on a good mark if able to bounce back. Finished around 14l behind Magic Runner on stable debut over C&D this month.

LTO Selection:

Magic Runner struck over C&D earlier this month and she didn't run too badly in fourth last time. Ruth Carr's charge looks likely to make her presence felt, but a chance can be taken on NEPTUNE STREET. Richard Fahey's gelding hasn't made much of an impact in a trio of starts so far, but an opening mark of 59 is workable for the three-year-old, who is a half-brother to multiple Group 2 winner Spirit Dancer. Pride Of Nepal and Maywedance are a couple of others to consider.

Preference is for MAGIC RUNNER who has been going well over C&D lately including a win at the start of the month.

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.
