|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (9/2 +82%)A King Of Magic |
9/2(+82%) | (1) A King Of Magic 9/2, Yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race. Green but showed promise on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Exeter last time. Effective at 2m and bumper form has been franked at Graded level over hurdles. Promise in bumpers but well-held fifth on hurdle debut and Cobden looks elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 -57%)Way Of Stars |
11/2(-57%) | (10) Way Of Stars 11/2, Very promising debut when a 7 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Exeter last time. That form has been franked emphatically. Hood worn for the first time and returns from a short break. Effective at 2m and usually very reliable on the Flat. Useful on Flat; too free when third on hurdle but can improve if settling better in hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/3 +26%)Babyken |
10/3(+26%) | (8) Babyken 10/3, Yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race. Finished second when beaten 17l in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m, showed useful Flat form in France, and latest form has been franked at higher level. Flat win in France; bounced back from poor hurdle debut to chase home useful sort over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6/4 +50%)Western Cross |
6/4(+50%) | (5) Western Cross 6/4, Had too much to do after conceding first run when a very promising 4l third in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m and could improve if ridden slightly more positively. Runner-up in first of two bumpers; promising third on Hereford hurdle debut; will improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (150/1 -500%)Louis Des Landes |
150/1(-500%) | (3) Louis Des Landes 150/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when well beaten in a bumper here on his only start. Returns from a short break with all to prove starting out over hurdles. 5-1 but tailed off on course bumper debut in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (150/1 +0%)Deauville Lady |
150/1(+0%) | (6) Deauville Lady 150/1, Outpaced but never threatened when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton latest. Usually held up and may be one for longer-distance handicaps in time. Tailed off in a bumper and two hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (4/1 +43%)Circle Of Secrets |
4/1(+43%) | (9) Circle Of Secrets 4/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 7l, in a juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown last time. Effective over 2m2f and progressing with racing Fourth in two hurdles in Ireland and won't need to up his game too much for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (200/1 -203%)Corner Forward |
200/1(-203%) | (2) Corner Forward 200/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective at 2m and looks the type to do better when sent handicapping. Looks more one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (100/1 -100%)Follow The Plan |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Follow The Plan 100/1, Improved when a 5 1/2l third in a maiden at Ballycrystal on her most recent run. Returns from a short break and showed minor promise in a point, but may find this a sharp enough test on rules debut. Third on her completed start in points but Way Of Stars is likely yard's main hope here. |

WAY OF STARS wasn't disgraced when finding two smart juveniles too good on his hurdling debut at Exeter in December and any improvement could enable a breakthrough victory in this discipline. The biggest threat may emerge from Western Cross, who arrives on the back of a respectable third-placed timber bow at Hereford, although Babyken, Circle Of Secrets and Marhaba Prince are feasible alternatives.

It turns out BABYKEN was up against a very useful one over C&D last month and he's taken to build on that promise for his in-form yard.

(1) (2/1 +43%)Joseph |
2/1(+43%) | (1) Joseph 2/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 8f, only form on AW; respected on latest couple of starts. Still a maiden but he arrives in good nick; he's very much one to consider eased 1lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +44%)Masqool |
9/4(+44%) | (3) Masqool 9/4, Travelled well and returned to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Kempton last time. From a top course trainer, he is effective at 8-10f and is back on his last winning mark. Three-time C&D scorer; promising fourth on yard debut at Kempton eight days ago; big shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -200%)Rising Force |
6/1(-200%) | (2) Rising Force 6/1, Travelled well and improved again when second, beaten 1/2l off 63 last time, and runs from the same mark here. Effective at 7-8f and in form, he is capable off this rating. Very good second in 1m Kempton handicap 15 days ago; he's a likely player once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +19%)Crafter |
13/2(+19%) | (5) Crafter 13/2, Was a no-show from off the pace when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time, is off a short break, and is best around 10f on the all-weather. C&D winner; fading seventh over C&D in December and not discounted off an easing mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -45%)Beta Reader |
8/1(-45%) | (6) Beta Reader 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective over 7-10f on the all-weather, he has a chance if able to build on that latest effort. Solid third of nine for his new trainer in C&D h'cap 19 days ago; must enter calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +50%)Tatmeen |
8/1(+50%) | (7) Tatmeen 8/1, Again below form when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective over 10-12f on the all-weather, but he has lost form of late. Last of nine over C&D 19 days ago; hood goes back on now with work to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -317%)Daddy Chill |
50/1(-317%) | (4) Daddy Chill 50/1, Probably needed the run after a long break when comfortably held in a maiden at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 8f on the all-weather and should come on for that return run now handicapping. Rusty after ten months off when 5th at Chelmsford latest; can progress now handicapping. |

DADDY CHILL showed ability in each of his first two starts prior to possibly needing the run on his return from a long absence when only fifth over a mile here last month. The step up in trip could unlock improvement and an opening mark of 60 looks workable. Rising Force remains in good form after his runner-up effort at Kempton and enters calculations, while C&D third Beta Reader is another to watch out for.

Tony Carroll's new recruit MASQOOL caught the eye when staying on late into fourth at Kempton recently and can bag a fourth C&D win.

(1) (4/5 -19%)Grandad's Cap |
4/5(-19%) | (1) Grandad's Cap 4/5, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; went clear with ease, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective up to 3m on a sound surface; progressive over fences but deep ground bit of a worry. Easy winner at Musselburgh 11 days ago and he's 3lb well in under a penalty; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 +0%)Moor End |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Moor End 2/1, Ran to form when second beaten 6l in a handicap chase here latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f on a sound surface; likely more to come over fences but ground something of a worry. Has done well since switched to chasing and was second over C&D latest; tongue-tie added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +71%)The Brickey Ranger |
4/1(+71%) | (5) The Brickey Ranger 4/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time. Effective at around 2m5f, but is yet to match his Irish form for the new yard and deep ground may not suit. Has struggled in his three handicaps (hurdles/chase) and has lots to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 +50%)Italian Spirit |
8/1(+50%) | (2) Italian Spirit 8/1, Again below best on chase debut tried in cheekpieces comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; bit to prove at present and others open to more progress. Bumper/hurdle winner but he was tailed off on chase debut last month; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 +20%)Voleur De Terres |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Voleur De Terres 40/1, Produced her best run so far over fences when fourth, beaten 31l, in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. She looked in need of a stiffer test, but still requires much more. Record of 708P over hurdles and her struggles have continued over fences this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -25%)Hitthekettle |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Hitthekettle 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Worcester last time and is returning from a break. Effective between 2m3f and 2m6f, but this veteran is hard to fancy on recent evidence. 0-11 under rules and he's struggled in three runs over fences; opposable on return. |

Barring the accuracy of his jumping, GRANDAD'S CAP couldn't have been more impressive when winning in a canter at Market Rasen recently. If the six-year-old runs anywhere near that level of form again, he could prove very hard to beat. Moor End sports a first-time tongue-tie after his runner-up effort at Leicester and needs to be considered along with Owl Of Athens, who makes just his fourth start over fences.

This can go to GRANDAD'S CAP, who bolted up at Market Rasen and is 3lb well in under a penalty. Moor End is the danger.

(3) (5/6 +67%)Five Bar Gate |
5/6(+67%) | (3) Five Bar Gate 5/6, Outpaced but finished well on a promising debut when beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle here last time. Was in good form prior, is effective at 2m–2m3f, and more can be expected over hurdles. Bumper winner; promise when fifth of 13 on C&D hurdle debut; open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +76%)Sailing By |
10/3(+76%) | (6) Sailing By 10/3, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Exeter latest. Is effective at 2m but needs to show considerably more than he has so far to figure in a race of this nature. Third on Chepstow bumper debut but only seventh in bumper/maiden hurdle at Exeter since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/3 +5%)Mariole |
10/3(+5%) | (9) Mariole 10/3, Outpaced and needed the run when finishing down the field in a Listed NH Flat Race at Cheltenham most recent. The trainer is in form, but improvement is required now hurdling. Second sole run in France; well held in Listed bumper on yard debut but retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 -100%)Innamorato |
11/2(-100%) | (8) Innamorato 11/2, Had every chance but again ran below his French form when fourth beaten 24l in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton latest. Is effective at 2m1f and handles testing ground, but needs to bounce back to show his true ability. Capable of doing so for top yard. Big shout on French hurdle form last summer but below that level in two runs for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (125/1 +17%)Fane Court |
125/1(+17%) | (2) Fane Court 125/1, Again ran to a moderate level when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ludlow latest. Has shown effectiveness at 3m in points, is up in trip again, but looks the type to do better when handicapping. Point win in November but well held in two hurdles since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (125/1 -150%)Paradise Park |
125/1(-150%) | (7) Paradise Park 125/1, Looked green and probably needed the race when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent. Returns from a long layoff, is effective at 2m on soft ground, and may need more time. Fourth in a bumper in spring 2024 but last on hurdle debut last February; off again since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (125/1 -56%)Georges Street |
125/1(-56%) | (4) Georges Street 125/1, Pulled up in a point at Wadebridge latest. Returns from a short break, is effective at 3m in points, but faces a stiff task in this company and looks up against it. Placed in Irish point last spring but pulled up in two British points at end of 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (200/1 -33%)Eric Gorcombe |
200/1(-33%) | (1) Eric Gorcombe 200/1, Never in the race when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Has yet to show any worthwhile form under Rules and needs to find significant improvement to be competitive here. No show in points and maiden/novice hurdles. |

Innamorato has yet to match his French hurdles form in two outings since switching to Paul Nicholls and it may be best to look elsewhere. FIVE BAR GATE is the obvious port of call after posting a respectable fifth over C&D last month and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Leader Crik will find this easier than his sixth at Cheltenham and is feared most.

The suggestion is LEADER CRIK, who was well held on his Cheltenham hurdle debut in October but showed promise in a point before that.

(1) (1/9 +82%)Spanish Voice |
1/9(+82%) | (1) Spanish Voice 1/9, Good attitude, confirmed debut promise up in trip when winning a novice at Newmarket by 1/2l last time; returning from long layoff; effective 8-10f, acts on G and AW; absence to overcome but may defy penalty. Not seen since winning a Newmarket novice last April; remains a colt of potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +6%)Abando |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Abando 15/2, Step back in right direction beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f with cut and on AW; third in a Group 2 in Germany as a 3yo, nowhere near that level now but better latest. Now 0-8 and a couple of these are open to more improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -22%)Nuptown Girl |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Nuptown Girl 22/1, Made late gains from off the pace when comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time. Never involved on that occasion and looks better suited by a return to handicaps. 0-9 and looks vulnerable to an improver back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (80/1 -21%)Masked Mistress |
80/1(-21%) | (4) Masked Mistress 80/1, Below form when fourth beaten 34l in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham latest; dual bumper scorer who may have a future on the Flat but perhaps over further in handicaps. Dual bumper winner last year; pedigree doesn't suggest this test is likely to suit. |

Expensive purchase SPANISH VOICE successfully built on his debut promise to score in a first-time tongue-tie at Newmarket last April and is an exciting prospect to keep on the right side of. The son of Lope De Vega looks to have been found an ideal assignment on his return to the fray. Abando competed in the Germany Derby last July, albeit being well-beaten, but he isn't one to write off. Bintkend can win the race for third.

This can go to SPANISH VOICE who looked a nice prospect when winning at Newmarket last April. The form of that race worked out well.

(3) (5/4 +33%)Epic West |
5/4(+33%) | (3) Epic West 5/4, Improved from his debut despite being taken on up front and setting the race up for closers when beaten 1/2l at Warwick last time, off a 3lb lower mark. Effective around 2m on soft and good to soft, and remains on a fair mark. Point/dual hurdle winner who went close over fences at Warwick last month; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/8 -15%)Mon Champion |
15/8(-15%) | (4) Mon Champion 15/8, Improved on recent form and needed every yard of the trip when landing a handicap by a nose at Hereford last time, off a 4lb lower mark. The trainer is in form; effective over 2m–2m6f on heavy and good to soft, and can go well again after a small rise. Ex-French 6yo who beat a clear second at Hereford 17 days ago; respected up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -25%)Milan Tino |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Milan Tino 5/1, Had every chance but ran below form when fourth, beaten 17l, up in class off a revised mark of 121 last time, the same mark here. Effective over 2m–2m4f on soft and good to soft, though he is inconsistent despite a workable hurdles mark. Won at Ludlow in December but was disappointing at Doncaster latest; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -18%)Largy Belter |
13/2(-18%) | (1) Largy Belter 13/2, Was a bit keen and jumped left, with his jumping leaving something to be desired when second, beaten 15l, in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective over 2m–2m4f with cut, and going right-handed should suit, but needs to jump better. Unexposed chaser and he's a possible improver on this drop back in trip. |

Mon Champion struck by the smallest of margins at Hereford on his most recent start and is bound to mount a bold bid, but it may pay to side with EPIC WEST. Jamie Snowden's charge finished a long way clear of the third when beaten half a length into second at Warwick and is now 3lb higher. That was a much improved display and he could progress further to strike. Largy Belter can't be ruled out either.

An interesting race in whch the vote goes to MON CHAMPION, who battled well when beating a clear second at Hereford 17 days ago.

(7) (10/11 +64%)Cooler Than Me |
10/11(+64%) | (7) Cooler Than Me 10/11, Landed a handicap by 3/4l off this mark at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and well treated on bumper form, with more to come and likely to get 3m. Escapes a penalty for recent Market Rasen handicap debut win; the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +31%)Ask Peter |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Ask Peter 11/2, Returned to form down in trip when third, beaten 6 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle here on her latest run. Enjoys making it and a further drop in trip may suit. Third of ten over C&D on heavy last week and holds each-way claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -18%)Gower Spirit |
13/2(-18%) | (1) Gower Spirit 13/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 17l, in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on heavy ground, and could be running into form. Goes well in mud and runner-up at Hereford the last twice; ought to be in mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -45%)Broomfield Gale |
8/1(-45%) | (2) Broomfield Gale 8/1, Travelled well and did it comfortably when appreciating a strong pace down in trip to land a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Trainer is in form and the mark still looks fair though testing ground is a worry. Both wins on good, latterly over 2m here five weeks ago; faces very different ground today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (17/2 +61%)Perfect Nelson |
17/2(+61%) | (3) Perfect Nelson 17/2, Probably needed the race when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and, although effective at 2m, needs to prove his ability remains after the long layoff. Lightly raced and interesting on bumper form but he's been absent for 659 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +0%)Nobody Told Me |
18/1(+0%) | (9) Nobody Told Me 18/1, Had every chance but ran below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Off a short break and effective at 12-16f with give, but in poor form since returning to hurdling. Close up when unseating two out here last February but well held back hurdling last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -157%)Stage Show |
18/1(-157%) | (8) Stage Show 18/1, Returned to form up in trip to shed his maiden tag when landing a handicap by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Exeter last time. Returning from a break and not one to rely on backing up that effort on unsuitable testing ground. Fast-ground Exeter success in October was first win on 29th start; different ground now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 -120%)Jackomy |
22/1(-120%) | (4) Jackomy 22/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when well beaten on handicap debut in a hurdle at Wincanton last time. A longer trip should suit, but he needs to find more to defy this mark. Would have won a point but for late fall but no show in four hurdles, including a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (100/1 -52%)Talap |
100/1(-52%) | (10) Talap 100/1, Outpaced and beaten early when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton on his most recent run. Effective at 2m-2m3f, but is regressive and others are preferred. Beaten 14l or more in all four handicaps and hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (125/1 -150%)All Night Parking |
125/1(-150%) | (5) All Night Parking 125/1, Pulled up in a conditions race at Cothelstone last time and returns from a long layoff. A point winner who is effective at 2m5f, but needs to prove his ability remains on this first rules run for some time. Point winner; showed a bit over hurdles in 2024 but failed to complete back pointing since. |

Having dug deep when making a winning handicap bow at Market Rasen recently, COOLER THAN ME could prove tough to beat off an unchanged mark. The eight-year-old is 7lb well-in and gets the vote over Gower Spirit. Matt Sheppard's mare has been unlucky to bump into two progressive rivals of late, although she may have to play second fiddle once more. The unexposed Perfect Nelson is worth a market check on his belated return to action.

A race which to some degree revolves around COOLER THAN ME, who escapes a penalty for Market Rasen.

(7) (2/1 +73%)Wisetanck |
2/1(+73%) | (7) Wisetanck 2/1, Settled better off a fast pace and finished as if he may get further when beaten 4 1/4l into third in a nursery at Southwell last time. Returns from a short break; should get a pace to aim at but the drop in trip may not suit. Promise in both nursery runs; not fully exposed and new yard quick to drop him in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/2 +29%)Henrythenate |
5/2(+29%) | (5) Henrythenate 5/2, Revelation tried in tongue-tie, coming from miles back to win going away landing a handicap by 2l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective at 5f, acts on G and AW; much improved latest and can go well again. Flew home to win easily over C&D on last month's stable debut; up 8lb; not fully exposed. |

(4) (11/2 -38%)U S S Charleston |
11/2(-38%) | (4) U S S Charleston 11/2, Won going away on a sound surface when landing a handicap by 2l at Wolverhampton off a 6lb lower mark last time. Returns from a short break and his mark still looks competitive. Won well at Wolverhampton in December but a 6lb rise in a deeper race asks more of him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 -120%)Far Too Fizzy |
11/2(-120%) | (8) Far Too Fizzy 11/2, Raced freely, kicked off the front and improved landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6f, acts on AW; consistent given right fractions and very game. Wide-margin C&D win three weeks ago; 10lb higher against better oppositon and drawn widest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -44%)This Guy |
13/2(-44%) | (2) This Guy 13/2, Made a lot of use of when dropped in trip and tried in blinkers but ran to form, beaten 4 1/2l into third in a maiden at Dundalk last time. Effective at 5f-6f, goes well from the front and is very consistent. Placed in his five runs at Dundalk for new stable; others appeal as being better treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +25%)Guernsey Angel |
12/1(+25%) | (1) Guernsey Angel 12/1, Made too much use of when sixth, beaten 6 1/4l off 76 last time and is 1lb lower here. Effective at 5f-6f and was in good form prior to that run; can bounce back if ridden with more restraint. Two 5f nursery wins last year; disappointing latest; perhaps vulnerable to improvers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -288%)Loleeta |
33/1(-288%) | (3) Loleeta 33/1, Won going away when scored with a bit in hand here by 2l last time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; might be capable of better but new mark asks more of her. C&D win when last seen in August; more needed now handicapping but she's far from exposed. |

With half of the field being last-time-out winners, only a tentative vote goes to FAR TOO FIZZY. David Loughnane's colt made every yard of the running when a ready winner over 6f here and, based on that evidence, he will relish dropping back a furlong in trip. This Guy is a consistent performer and should remain competitive, while Wisetanck is another to note.

Wisetanck is of some interest on his stable debut but HENRYTHENATE showed a bright change of gear when winning here last month.

2/1(+11%) | (1) Fortunefavorsdbold 2/1, Fell at the first in a handicap chase at Catterick latest; effective up to 3m2f, Hy and GS; chance in this provided she's over her fall. Last win was almost two years ago and she didn't get very far at Catterick last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +22%)Fay Ce Que Voudras |
7/2(+22%) | (5) Fay Ce Que Voudras 7/2, Fell at the eighth fence when still in contention in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f on soft ground, but has yet to match her hurdle form over fences. Sole win was in 2023 and she fell on her return to chasing two weeks ago; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +0%)Stamina Chope |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Stamina Chope 4/1, Poorly placed at sharp track but ran to form up in trip when fourth at Huntingdon latest; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on S and G; return to fences in his favour. In-form veteran who was won twice this winter and she's respected back over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +29%)Ginderella |
5/1(+29%) | (6) Ginderella 5/1, Ran to form back hurdling when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m4f-2m7f and ran well on her only previous chase start. Back from long absence with two encouraging efforts (hurdle/chase) this winter; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +50%)Flintara |
7/1(+50%) | (2) Flintara 7/1, Never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Suited by 3m and effective on heavy and good ground, but needs more than she has shown of late. On reduced mark and conditions are no problem but she needs a major revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +22%)Imperial Pride |
14/1(+22%) | (7) Imperial Pride 14/1, Took a small step back in the right direction when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m, but despite a falling mark, needs more. Showed signs of a revival when fourth at Ludlow but she needs to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (18/1 -300%)A Little Something |
18/1(-300%) | (3) A Little Something 18/1, Ran to form when just tiring up the hill after doing plenty early, finishing a 4l third in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell. Returning from a long layoff, effective at 2m-2m5f, and may need this. In good form over hurdles in the spring and needs a close look on her chase debut. |

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD fell at the first when favourite at Catterick recently, but she may reward loyal supporters on this occasion. The daughter of Soldier Of Fortune lurks on an appealing mark and the booking of Sean Bowen is noteworthy. A Little Something has been thereabouts the last twice over the smaller obstacles and commands respect on her chasing bow. Stamina Chope is another to note.

10yo STAMINA CHOPE has won over hurdles and fences this winter and she gets the vote ahead of chase debutante A Little Something.

5/2(+38%) | (10) Ted The Thief 5/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Effective from around 2m5f to 3m3f and acts on good to soft ground. More to come as a chaser over marathon trips. In good form but Bataillon was too strong for him over C&D latest and might be same again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +36%)Bataillon |
7/2(+36%) | (3) Bataillon 7/2, Improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective between 2m4f and 3m, and acts on heavy and good ground. Remains well treated on hurdle form, with more to come over fences. Got up late over C&D on good to soft latest; today's softer ground should suit even better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +42%)Jongleur D'etoiles |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Jongleur D'etoiles 7/2, Improved on better ground, jumping much better when second, beaten 10l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good ground. Progressive, with latest form franked, and looks on a good mark on hurdle form. Four hurdle wins and showed he can do it over fences when second over C&D latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)Hell Hound |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Hell Hound 4/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time, though not the speed of the principals. Returning from a long absence. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft. More to come now chasing up in trip and mark looks lenient, though may just need this. Promising in bumpers/over hurdles but off 467 days ahead of chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 -13%)Call Me Arthur |
9/2(-13%) | (4) Call Me Arthur 9/2, Travelled well and did it easily when improving up in trip, benefitting from reappearance to land a handicap by 15l off a 10lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Didn't beat much that day. Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. A consistent hurdler, with more to come as a stayer over fences. Came 15l clear at Huntingdon latest so a 10lb rise looks warranted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -45%)Shot Boii |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Shot Boii 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time after never travelling or jumping following an early error. Blinkers are applied for the first time. Effective at 3m and generally consistent. Second in December but pulled up either side, taking chase record to 1-18; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 +0%)Another Day Out |
22/1(+0%) | (6) Another Day Out 22/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Leicester last time. Enjoys making it in front. Effective between 2m4f and 3m on a sound surface. Needs to be allowed to dominate. Has blinkers refitted as she bids to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +21%)Gingerbred |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Gingerbred 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Usually held up in his races. Effective over 3m to 3m4f and acts on heavy and good ground. Had been consistent until that latest run and is on a fair mark when dropped in class. 3m winner on heavy; also good second here in December but has run poorly since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 -14%)School For Scandal |
25/1(-14%) | (9) School For Scandal 25/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor three starts ago. Had every chance when fourth, beaten 13l, off 83 last time and is 1lb lower here. Effective between 2m7f and 3m2f and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground. Inconsistent and would not want rain. C&D winner but couldn't live with Bataillon and Ted The Thief here last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -313%)The Blueberry One |
33/1(-313%) | (5) The Blueberry One 33/1, Jumped poorly and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft ground. Capable of better judged on hurdle form and very interesting with debut run behind him. Well held on recent chase debut but it was his first outing for 11 months; cheekpieces on. |

CALL ME ARTHUR and Bataillon both won on their latest outings, but ready preference is for the former after his romp at Huntingdon. Tom Lacey's gelding relished the step back up in distance that day and if in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Jongleur D'etoiles put his unseat two starts ago well behind him when outrunning his odds to finish second over C&D in December and commands respect.

Low-mileage 8yo BATAILLON (nap) is taken to confirm last month's C&D superiority over Ted The Thief.

4/6(+39%) | (5) An Laochmor 4/6, Ran to his best, just tiring in the final strides when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Dundalk last time. Suited by 5f and a consistent maiden at a lowly level. 16-race maiden but in good form at Dundalk and this is less competitive; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 -80%)Kento |
6/1(-80%) | (4) Kento 6/1, Well positioned and ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Represents a top course trainer, is effective over 5f on AW and can go well again. Poor strike-rate but ran his best race for a while ten days ago; claims if building on it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -9%)Captain Kinsella |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Captain Kinsella 6/1, Bit wide and below form when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time; blinkers are fitted for the first time. Suited by 5f but has lost form and a wind operation has not helped. On the downgrade but down in class and tried in new headgear; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 0%)Flicka's Girl |
15/2(0%) | (2) Flicka's Girl 15/2, Ran to form and did her best work late when beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5/6f; remains on a competitive mark. Won classified event at Chelmsford last month but not quite so good back in a h'cap latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (17/2 -13%)The Defiant |
17/2(-13%) | (3) The Defiant 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l into third in a classified race at Wolverhampton on his most recent run. Suited by 5f and needs more back in a handicap. Multiple sprint winner but his powers look on the wane; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -100%)Daley T |
40/1(-100%) | (6) Daley T 40/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. From a top course trainer, effective at 5/6f; an inconsistent and exposed maiden. 0-18 and even his best effort this winter is short of what will be needed here. |

AN LAOCHMOR is a really interesting contender in here on the back of a very solid Dundalk effort last time out. He was a beaten favourite on that occasion, but it was still a creditable performance to take second and that form reads well in the context of this sprint handicap. Kento and C&D winner The Defiant are the dangers.

This looks easier than AN LAOCHMOR (nap) is accustomed to and he can prove too strong for Captain Kinsella.

7/4(+7%) | (1) Classical Sting 7/4, Ran to form despite a bad error when second beaten 9 1/2l off 98 last time, same mark here; effective around 2m, acts on S; more to come over fences. Won on chase debut at Kelso and he ran into a big improver at Catterick latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +8%)Hawk Stone |
11/4(+8%) | (3) Hawk Stone 11/4, Improved from his debut when tried in a visor, just flattening out after errors when beaten 3l off this mark at Ffos Las last time. Effective around 2m, acts with cut, and should be capable of better judged on hurdle form. Unexposed chaser who bounced back with a good second at Ffos Las 13 days ago; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +42%)Lucky Lugger |
7/1(+42%) | (2) Lucky Lugger 7/1, Let down by jumping when tried in cheekpieces, finishing fourth beaten 17l in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m and may need some cut; inconsistent, but capable on his day. On dangerous mark but he's lost his way and needs a big turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -7%)Kitsilano |
8/1(-7%) | (6) Kitsilano 8/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 9 1/2l, in a handicap chase at Market Rasen on his most recent run. Has since undergone a wind operation; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft ground. Fair third at Market Rasen last time and he's had wind surgery since; could be dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (17/2 -42%)Leech |
17/2(-42%) | (7) Leech 17/2, Outpaced, couldn't go gallop, back to form on chase debut 5l third in a handicap chase at Ffos Las most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut; maiden but conditions fine and can go well. Made a promising chase debut at Ffos Las and he ties in with Hawk Stone on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -43%)Night Jet |
10/1(-43%) | (8) Night Jet 10/1, Won this race last year and had every chance before finishing third, beaten 24l, in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, but below form this term. Won on chase debut over C&D last February but he's not come close to that form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +11%)Urblereagh |
16/1(+11%) | (5) Urblereagh 16/1, Ran to form on handicap debut, doing much the best of those forcing the pace when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break, should be effective at 2m and could improve now chasing. Very lightly raced 9yo who needs to raise his game on this switch to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -100%)Applicationofcash |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Applicationofcash 20/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Plumpton last time. Effective at 2m4f, but improvement is required to feature more prominently in this contest. Two fair efforts over fences this winter and has claims if he can find some improvement. |

CLASSICAL STING was a game winner at Kelso on his chasing debut and was also going well until a bad mistake soon after halfway at Catterick most recently. The five-year-old rallied to claim second in that race and sure to be wiser for that experience, he is well worth another chance. Kitsilano has more experience over fences and could be a big danger on his first start back after wind surgery. Leech and Night Jet both try new headgear and also warrant betting checks.

Preference is for CLASSICAL STING (nap), who won on chase debut at Kelso in November and was a creditable second at Catterick last time.

5/2(+38%) | (6) Jack Hyde 5/2, Well placed in a race dominated from the front and ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time. Effective over 2m–2 1/2m and arrives in form following a short break and a wind op. Big chance if coping with the softer ground. Good second of 15 in mud at Cheltenham (soft) in November; had wind op since; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +73%)Into The Park |
11/4(+73%) | (7) Into The Park 11/4, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter on his most recent run. Effective over 2m–2 1/2m and likely capable of better over fences than he showed on that occasion. Didn't take to fences latest but in form over hurdles before; C&D winner; declared Weds. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +0%)Welsh Charger |
5/1(+0%) | (3) Welsh Charger 5/1, Unseated at the start in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh latest. The trainer is in form and he is effective over 2m–2m4f; still on a competitive mark but may need a slight step up in trip. Won 2025 Scottish County at Musselburgh; unseated start when fav for same race 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -83%)Celtic Art |
11/2(-83%) | (5) Celtic Art 11/2, Did it cosily when landing a weaker handicap hurdle by 3l off a 5lb lower mark here last time, benefitting from a steadier gallop. Effective over 2m–2m3f and in form, though his new mark will demand more. Dual 2m3f winner here on good/good to soft this winter but deeper ground today a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (17/2 -13%)Spirits Bay |
17/2(-13%) | (4) Spirits Bay 17/2, Travelled well and improved from his debut over fences but possibly outstayed when beaten 5 1/2l into fourth in a handicap chase at Exeter last time. Usually held up, he is effective at 2m and may need a drop back in trip. Hurdle win in October; creditable fourth in chase latest; won previous start on heavy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +0%)Constellation Walk |
9/1(+0%) | (8) Constellation Walk 9/1, Improved when beaten 8l into third in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Usually held up and effective at 2m, he is off a short break and could have more to offer now entering handicaps. Progressive RPRs in maiden hurdles and likely more to come in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +13%)Aurigny Mill |
14/1(+13%) | (2) Aurigny Mill 14/1, Outpaced but ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l into third in a handicap hurdle here last time, unsuited by the way the race developed. Effective at 2m–2 1/2m and wants a good pace to aim at. Handles heavy ground and big player if building on latest. Good course record, including second in this last year; fair third here latest; respected. |

It's hard to ignore the claims of CELTIC ART, who readily made it two wins from his last three outings over 2m3f here last month. The nine-year-old does take a drop in trip but that is unlikely to prevent him from continuing his brilliant form. Jack Hyde produced a good effort when runner-up at Cheltenham in November and has since undergone wind surgery, so he is one to keep an eye on. Brentford Hope and Aurigny Mill are others to consider.

A useful contest. Brentford Hope goes really well in the mud but narrow preference is for JACK HYDE.

9/4(+18%) | (1) Al Shabab 9/4, Ran to form when second, beaten a length in a handicap here last time; effective from 7-10f and seems suited by 10f; C&D winner and holds a good chance back in classified company. Just 1-31 though the win came over C&D; major player back at this level. |

(6) (10/3 +26%)Haveagobeau |
10/3(+26%) | (6) Haveagobeau 10/3, Too keen and below form when beaten 8l in a classified race here last time; had been in good form prior; effective at 8-10f; capable in this if bouncing back. 1-33 with the win coming over C&D last month; likely to make presence felt again. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -50%)Dubai Harbour |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Dubai Harbour 6/1, Bit below form when fourth, beaten 4l in a classified race here last time; effective from 8-12f with best form largely on AW; needs to bounce back. Has won two 0-55 handicaps over C&D; running creditably lately; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +50%)Jack Andrea |
7/1(+50%) | (7) Jack Andrea 7/1, Made late gains and ran to his recent level when beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective at 8-11f; still a maiden but capable. 0-18, but the return to this level should help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/1 -54%)Thundering Breeze |
10/1(-54%) | (10) Thundering Breeze 10/1, Had a wide trip and was below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a classified race here last time; had been in good form prior; effective at 8-11f; needs things to fall right. 0-16 and not the most consistent, but has been placed in two of her three starts over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -65%)Come To Pass |
14/1(-65%) | (2) Come To Pass 14/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2 1/4l in a classified race here last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; trained by a top course handler; effective at 10-12f; bit to find in this. Dual C&D winner who twice finished fourth last month; frame possibilities; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -267%)Everest |
66/1(-267%) | (5) Everest 66/1, Looked awkward under pressure when down the field in a maiden at Kempton last time; usually held up; seems effective at 10f but likely to want 1m4f+; may do better now out of maiden/novice company. Three AW efforts have been poor but well worth monitoring in the market down at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -65%)Estimaid |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Estimaid 66/1, Another poor run when down the field in a classified race here most recently; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 7-9f; inconsistent and others look stronger. One piece of fair turf form, but poor otherwise especially on AW; new headgear combination. |

AL SHABAB boasts previous winning C&D form and it won't be long before he's back in the winning groove if recent seconds here and at Wolverhampton are anything to go by. Dubai Harbour and Haveagobeau are other track-and-trip winners to note, the latter in particular who was really impressive here last month. He can be forgiven one lacklustre effort in a classified stakes race latest.

The vote goes to AL SHABAB who has winning form over C&D and has finished runner-up in his last two starts.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) (6/4 +8%)Rosscahill |
6/4(+8%) | (1) Rosscahill 6/4, Let down by jumping when pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by plenty of cut; well fancied for chase debut so could leave that form behind. Pulled up on chase debut in October but this lightly raced 7yo retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 +11%)No Tackle |
2/1(+11%) | (3) No Tackle 2/1, Ran to form at a favoured venue when second, beaten 10l, off 113 last time and runs from the same mark. Effective at 2m6f-3m2f, suited by plenty of cut and has a good Leicester record, though he can be erratic. Likes it here and he arrives in good form; solid candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 -33%)One Last Glance |
3/1(-33%) | (5) One Last Glance 3/1, Mistakes, below form when fourth beaten 21l in a handicap chase at Lingfield latest; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; consistent over fences until latest, could bounce back. Failed to fire at Lingfield latest but close second at Wetherby previously; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +46%)Mombasa |
13/2(+46%) | (2) Mombasa 13/2, Well below form when fourth beaten 81l in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; improvement needed. Tailed off on last month's stable debut at Wincanton when back from another absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (125/1 -89%)Stormin Crossgales |
125/1(-89%) | (4) Stormin Crossgales 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Haydock last time. Cheekpieces are tried for the first time and he enjoys making it. Effective at 2m-2m4f, but he has been inconsistent, with the form of his spring win weak and struggles since. Four chase wins last season but he's struggled this term; cheekpieces go on. |

ROSSCAHILL is a dual hurdle winner and is surely capable of better than he managed on his chasing debut at Ffos Las when he was last seen. Having won his sole start in a point-to-point, better can be expected now he has been given more time. The consistent No Tackle has shaped up nicely of late and is the biggest danger to the selection. Mombasa is unexposed over fences and is noteworthy on just his second start for Ventetia Williams.

The in-form NO TACKLE has a good record here and is the selection ahead of the very lightly raced 7yo Rosscahill.

(1) (1/1 +33%)Golden Son |
1/1(+33%) | (1) Golden Son 1/1, Yard won this race last year. Returned to form down in class back from a break when winning a hunter chase at Warwick by 6l last time. Trainer is in form, effective at 2 1/2m and with cut, though inconsistent and still unexposed in hunter chases. Won by 6l on recent hunter chase debut at Warwick and he's a leading candidate today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (2/1 +11%)Beacon Edge |
2/1(+11%) | (5) Beacon Edge 2/1, Ran to form when winning a Mixed Open Point at Wadebridge by 3/4l last time. Returning from a long layoff, effective at 2-3m and a formerly classy hurdler who could be a very useful recruit to this sphere. Former Grade 1 winner should have too much for these. Best known as very talented h'dler; entitled to considerable respect on hunter chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -67%)Snipe |
5/1(-67%) | (4) Snipe 5/1, Returned to form down in class when winning a hunter chase at Hereford by 3/4l last time. Ideally wants 3m, is in fair form and remains unexposed in hunter chases. Returned to form to win on hunter chase debut at Hereford last month; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -57%)Revels Hill |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Revels Hill 22/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 9 1/2l, in a hunter chase at Chepstow last time. Returning from a long layoff, effective around 3m and on good to soft or soft, though has shown little rules form for years despite this being easier. Very useful in his prime but that hasn't been the case more recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 +15%)Just Loose Change |
28/1(+15%) | (3) Just Loose Change 28/1, Carried out in a hunter chase here last time. Effective at 3m and a chase winner on good ground but has plenty to prove on this type of surface. Mishaps have been a feature across his last 3 starts and he's down the pecking order today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (50/1 -100%)Haven't Time |
50/1(-100%) | (2) Haven't Time 50/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 19l, in a hunter chase at Warwick last time. Effective at 3m and with cut, and could build on that promising return. 2nd in this last year; could improve for last month's return but others still appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (125/1 -89%)Whitsand Bay |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Whitsand Bay 125/1, Pulled up in a point at Larkhill last time. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and he is off a short break. Multiple point winner, but out of form in that discipline. 10yo who has 4-19 record in points; makes rules debut in hot contest and looks vulnerable. |

Golden Son struck in comfortable fashion at this level at Warwick last month and has to be considered, but BEACON EDGE shades the vote. The veteran bolted up in a claiming hurdle on his final start for Gordon Elliott last May and justified cramped odds in a point-to-point last month. With a rating of 144, he is hard to ignore. Revels Hill is also respected.

Preference is for GOLDEN SON who looked good when winning a hunter chase at Warwick last month. Beacon Edge is feared most.

(2) (3/1 +86%)Miletus |
3/1(+86%) | (2) Miletus 3/1, Well below form when ground too soft and down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent. In good form prior; returning from a break and drawn wide; effective over 8-10f, acts on AW; left Charlie Hills and now on a nice mark. Makes stable debut after 110 days off having changed hands for 22,000gns; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +0%)Farasi Lane |
5/1(+0%) | (8) Farasi Lane 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 7-9f and acts on AW; fair mark and has found form again of late. Losing run up to 18, but is now now 13lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -100%)Lexington Jet |
6/1(-100%) | (6) Lexington Jet 6/1, Yard won this last year; improved again when landing a handicap by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Drawn wide; effective at 7/8f; blinkers have been making of him and this new mark asks more. Up another 7lb in his hat-trick bid, but may again enjoy the run of the race; high on list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 -20%)Foreseen |
6/1(-20%) | (9) Foreseen 6/1, Did well, far too keen but still got up late when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Top course trainer; suited by 8-10f; new mark looks fair but he needs to settle better. Winner of three of his last four starts; up 3lb in a better race but still considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -33%)Hitched |
6/1(-33%) | (3) Hitched 6/1, Improved back up in trip when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Trainer in form; effective over 8-10f; can be competitive off this new mark. 4-10 over 1m/1m2f here; beat Farasi Lane at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +25%)Tribal Wisdom |
15/2(+25%) | (4) Tribal Wisdom 15/2, Ran to form when fifth beaten 2l off 81 last time and is 1lb lower here. Drawn wide; suited by 7-10f; consistent and the mark remains competitive. Finished behind a couple of these last time; this sharp mile may be an inadequate test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +11%)Borgi |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Borgi 8/1, Bit below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. In good form prior; suited by 8-9f, with form mainly on AW; bounce back needed. Well handicapped, but losing run up to 11 and he was behind three of these last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 +8%)Mr Baloo |
11/1(+8%) | (1) Mr Baloo 11/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective over 8-10f and suited by a sound surface; needs more than of late and the drop in trip may help. 6lb lower than for latest win, but recent efforts don't suggest he is ready to capitalise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -75%)Oj Lifestyle |
28/1(-75%) | (10) Oj Lifestyle 28/1, Ran to form up in trip, doing his best work late when beaten 4l off this mark here last time. Off a short break; suited by 7/8f and seems to stay 10f; respected down in trip. Placed in both starts on Polytrack; question is how ready he will be after 79 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 -264%)Dancing Terror |
40/1(-264%) | (7) Dancing Terror 40/1, Too keen but showed a good attitude, improving from his debut for experience when second beaten 4l in a novice here latest. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 7f on AW; retains plenty of potential back from a break. First and second in two 7f novices here last winter; market may be helpful on return. |

It's not hard to make a case for Lexington Jet, who completed a double in fine style at Chelmsford on his latest outing, but the value may lie with DANCING TERROR. The son of Territories won on debut over 7f here prior to taking a step forward when second over the same C&D under a penalty next time. With the extra furlong likely to suit, Amanda Perrett's charge can defy his opening figure of 77. Foreseen completes the shortlist.

The choice is LEXINGTON JET who may again have the race run to suit and can make it 3-3 since blinkers were fitted.

(6) (5/6 +63%)Paul Marvel |
5/6(+63%) | (6) Paul Marvel 5/6, Improved for a step up in trip when second, beaten 6l, in a hunter chase at Warwick last time. Effective over 2m-3m with some cut in the ground, and rates a good chance judged on that latest effort. Runner-up at Warwick three weeks ago and that performance reads well in today's context. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/2 +50%)Just Lucky Sivola |
5/2(+50%) | (4) Just Lucky Sivola 5/2, Ran to form when 22l third in a handicap hurdle at Sandown most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on Hy and G; could have a say on debut over fences for new yard. Something to find on stable/chase debut but it's possible he'll improve for fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +17%)Ideal Du Tabert |
5/1(+17%) | (3) Ideal Du Tabert 5/1, Again below his best under rules when fourth, beaten 30l, in the Restricted Point at Sheriff Hutton latest. Effective over 2m-3m and handles some cut, but the ex-Irish runner needs more on this return to rules. In the picture on his best form but has failed to shine on his two point runs this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +84%)Best Mate Dave |
16/1(+84%) | (2) Best Mate Dave 16/1, Likely needed the run when comfortably held in a point for novice riders at Chaddesley Corbett last time. Effective over 2m4f-3m on a sound surface, but has plenty to prove now returning to action under rules. Sole win came over hurdles in June 2023 off a basement mark; he's up against it today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -13%)Largy Shark |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Largy Shark 18/1, Still just in front when falling at the last in a point at Alnwick on his latest run. Effective over 2m-2m6f and handles soft or good ground, and could have a say back under rules if none the worse for that fall. Bang there when falling at final fence in a point in December; not ruled out. |

PAUL MARVEL's second-placed finish to a 130-rataed opponent in a similar race at Warwick is a convincing piece of form and he edges a narrow vote over St Cuthbert's Cave. The latter has some respectable efforts to his name and had a valid excuse having reportedly bled at Ludlow most recently. The low-mileage Just Lucky Sivola and Ideal Du Tabert are others with solid chances.

Preference is for PAUL MARVEL, who ran well when second at Warwick recently.

(11) (10/11 +52%)Woodrafff |
10/11(+52%) | (11) Woodrafff 10/11, Travelled but did not see it out when second, beaten a nose in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; blinkers first time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; capable at this level. Didn't do much in front and pipped at the post last week (7f, Tapeta); now blinkered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +0%)Mintana |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Mintana 4/1, Returned to form when second, beaten 1/2l in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; not one to rely on building on that and stamina concerns. Yet to win at 7f but stays the trip & arrives on the back of a good 6f run; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -43%)American Rose |
5/1(-43%) | (2) American Rose 5/1, Travelled and ran to form when second, beaten a head in a classified race at Southwell latest; wide draw; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; can go well again. Second in two 7f classified events at Southwell last month; C&D winner; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +38%)Huntly Lodge |
10/1(+38%) | (5) Huntly Lodge 10/1, Below form and not helped by late interference when beaten 9 1/4l in a classified race here last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; form tenuous and needs more, blinkers removed. Inconsistent but had an excuse last time and the blinkers are now left off; e-w shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -38%)Under Curfew |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Under Curfew 11/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l in a classified race at Chelmsford latest; top course trainer; suited by 5/6f but stays 7f, acts on AW; erratic but capable. Nine-time sprint winner who stays this far; arrives in fair form; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -100%)Friday Again |
16/1(-100%) | (3) Friday Again 16/1, Below form when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; needs more. Big chance on her best form but recent efforts substandard; first run at 0-50 level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -108%)Lynwood Lad |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Lynwood Lad 25/1, Found little and below form when beaten 7 1/2l in a classified race here last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; others stronger. Not at best so far this winter and he has more to prove over 7f than at shorter trips. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -60%)Hold The Press |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Hold The Press 40/1, Another poor run when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; wide draw; effective at 7f, acts on AW; hard to fancy on recent evidence. Conditions to suit but inconsistent and others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 +20%)Miraflores |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Miraflores 40/1, Quickly beaten once headed when down in trip, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective at 7f, acts on AW; unreliable. Best run came over C&D but this exposed maiden looks opposable on balance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 -100%)Almavillalobas |
100/1(-100%) | (1) Almavillalobas 100/1, Never in it after a slow start when down the field in a handicap here most recently; wide draw; off a short break; up in trip and down in grade. Little solid form and returning to 7f with a visor refitted isn't enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (150/1 -50%)Tilsworth Silver |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Tilsworth Silver 150/1, No-show from off the pace when comfortably held in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; no worthwhile form. 14-race maiden with low-level form; last seen over 2m and no appeal dropped to 7f. |

This might be the day for AMERICAN ROSE. Runner-up in each of her last two starts at Southwell since returning from a break, James Evans' mare looks well placed to get her head back in front. Her stablemate Mintana, who goes in the same colours, might be her biggest threat after hitting the woodwork at Wolverhampton. Of the remainder, Woodrafff makes the most appeal.

Woodrafff is a strong candidate but MINTANA is marginally preferred in a race where most are easy to dismiss.

(3) (3/1 +25%)Amarachi |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Amarachi 3/1, Made too much use of and set it up for closers when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 6-8f, just 1lb above her last winning mark and could quickly bounce back. Runner-up at Southwell on two occasions last month but she was disappointing there latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/5 -28%)Angelica K |
16/5(-28%) | (4) Angelica K 16/5, Needed the run when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Stays 12f but her best form is at 1m, looks to want a stamina test and remains erratic with plenty to prove. Doubled her tally when winning a classified at Lingfield on Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -27%)River Wharfe |
7/2(-27%) | (1) River Wharfe 7/2, Returned to form down in class when beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7-9f, below his last winning mark, and could build on that latest effort back up in trip. Runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) last time, shaping as if the return to 1m would suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -17%)Al Baahy |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Al Baahy 7/2, Was a bit free early but ran to form when just holding on to win a classified race at Lingfield by 1 1/4l last time. Effective at 7-10f, looks well treated back in a handicap and could complete a hat trick. Won his last two starts in classified company at around 1m2f; drop back to 1m may not suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +31%)Aim For The Bull |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Aim For The Bull 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a classified race at Southwell last time, with his trainer in form. Effective at 7/8f but an exposed maiden who needs more back in a handicap. 0-18; runner-up at Southwell in December but below his best last time; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +45%)Darlo Lady |
22/1(+45%) | (7) Darlo Lady 22/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Drawn wide and returning from a short break, she is a very moderate maiden. Yet to make the frame in 12 starts and now returns from a 78-day break; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +18%)Shades Of May |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Shades Of May 33/1, Was far too free up in trip and did not stay when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Effective at 6/7f but arrives out of form and remains a maiden. Late gains here over 7f in August; most recent effort over 1m2f here is worth forgiving. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -100%)Quick Away |
50/1(-100%) | (5) Quick Away 50/1, Beaten early and finished down the field in a classified race at Wolverhampton most recently. Effective at 8/9f but is described as regressive and needs to show more. Won twice at Wolverhampton last year; below her best on her last five starts. |

AL BAAHY proved there was no fluke about his Wolverhampton success when he readily followed up at Lingfield 12 days ago. Those victories came in classified company but he seems revitalised and won't need much of a step forward to successfully revert to a handicap here. Amarachi is consistent at this sort of level and is a big danger given she is still unexposed over this trip. Aim For The Bull and River Wharfe are other alternatives to consider.

A chance is taken on SHADES OF MAY whose most recent effort is worth forgiving, with River Wharfe second choice.

(4) (5/6 +52%)Manly Fireball |
5/6(+52%) | (4) Manly Fireball 5/6, Forced wide from a poor draw but still ran to form when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time. Returning from a break; pedigree suggests speed and stamina, and he acts on all-weather. Fifth on his debut before being placed on the AW on his next two starts; gelded; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +17%)Numero Vingt |
10/3(+17%) | (5) Numero Vingt 10/3, Green early on debut but finished well when beaten 5 1/2l in a novice at Salisbury. That was a promising start and he shapes as a contender with expected improvement. Shaped encouragingly following a slow start on his debut on turf last August; gelded since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +13%)Unionville |
7/2(+13%) | (7) Unionville 7/2, Ran at least to form off a long break and a nice weight when second, beaten a neck, in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 5f and 6f and may come on a little from that return run. Posted an improved effort when beaten a neck at Kempton in a handicap on his AW/yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -60%)Tainted Love |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Tainted Love 16/1, Rajasinghe gelding whose dam was smart from 6f to 7f. Drawn wide but yard can get them ready first time. Worth following in the betting. 4yo gelding; first foal; dam Group-placed 6f-1m winner (RPR 100); stablemate of Saddle Up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -200%)Saddle Up |
18/1(-200%) | (8) Saddle Up 18/1, 25,000gns Kessaar gelding; dam smart at 5f at 2yo and won at this venue; looks stable first string so worth a market check. Gelding; 25,000gns yearling; dam 5f winner (including AW; RPR 96); watch the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -233%)Silver Splash |
40/1(-233%) | (3) Silver Splash 40/1, Mayson filly out of a dam who was useful at 7f and placed at the top level in Argentina. This looks a stiff introduction and she appears an unlikely winner on debut, with the run expected to be more educational. Mayson filly; dam won four times in Argentina including two Group 2s on dirt; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -525%)Molly Marine |
100/1(-525%) | (2) Molly Marine 100/1, Made a fair debut when finishing in the pack, beaten 5l in a maiden at Kempton. That was a respectable opening effort and she should make normal improvement for the experience. Interesting at a price. Hooded when down the field on her debut at Kempton over 7f 15 days ago; drops down in trip. |

Richard Spencer has two interesting newcomers in the shape of Saddle Up and Tainted Love and any support for either of them in the betting would be dangerous to ignore. However, the experience held by MANLY FIREBALL is an advantage at this stage and keeping the 75-rated three-year-old to maiden company could be a rewarding move. Unionville is the pick of the rest.

Manly Fireball holds good claims, but UNIONVILLE went close at Kempton and is selected to get off the mark returned to a maiden.

(4) (11/4 -47%)Dyrholaey |
11/4(-47%) | (4) Dyrholaey 11/4, Returned to form down in class when beaten 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5f–6f, but not one to rely on building on that effort. Yet to win a handicap but ran well last time; might not face much competition for the lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +39%)Justcallmepete |
11/4(+39%) | (3) Justcallmepete 11/4, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back. Ran to form when fifth, beaten 3l off 86 last time, and is 1lb lower now, though the handicapper may have caught up. Completed a hat-trick when landing a handicap over C&D in December; good effort last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/5 +4%)Aberama Gold |
16/5(+4%) | (5) Aberama Gold 16/5, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time. Suited by 6f and a former Stewards' Cup winner who is now down to a good mark. C&D winner; isn't the force of old but he's run well on his last two outings; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +50%)Gallant |
6/1(+50%) | (2) Gallant 6/1, Built on his reappearance when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 7f–1m, but his current mark looks too high. Two AW wins for Andrew Balding (6f/1m); held in two starts over 7f for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -86%)Coachello |
13/2(-86%) | (1) Coachello 13/2, Ran to current form when beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 6f and capable off this mark, but has been unreliable for some time. Ran well in a 0-90 at Wolverhampton in December; 5lb below his last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +14%)Thurso |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Thurso 12/1, Keen and forced wide from a poor draw when beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 6f–7f and had been consistent prior to that run. Three wins last year; failed to beat a rival home last time and needs to bounce back. |

Aberama Gold is as enthusiastic as ever and David O'Meara's robust nine-year-old is high on the shortlist. However, DYRHOLAEY could be the answer after a near miss off the same mark at Wolverhampton last week. Still unexposed for a five-year-old, the Archie Watson-trained gelding is highly tempting based on that evidence. Justcallmepete and Coachello are also likely to be heavily involved.

Dyrholaey may not face much competition for the lead and is second choice behind three-time C&D winner JUSTCALLMEPETE.

(1) (11/10 +60%)Tryfan |
11/10(+60%) | (1) Tryfan 11/10, Helped set it up for closers down the field when contesting a handicap at Newcastle last time. Had been in good form prior to that effort and remains effective over 12-16f. More is required from this mark. 5lb above his last winning mark; disappointing run latest but could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 -20%)Carlton |
3/1(-20%) | (3) Carlton 3/1, Ran to form back from hurdling when beaten a short-head off a 3lb lower mark over this course last time possibly outstayed over 2m. Generally consistent in both codes and should go close back down in distance. 6-8 at this track; went down narrowly here over a bit shorter last time; now 3lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -50%)Machete |
5/1(-50%) | (2) Machete 5/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle in December. Met trouble when closing but ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l, off 84 last time and competes from the same mark here. Big player if stamina holds up. Posted a solid effort over 1m4f latest despite not getting the best of runs; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -118%)Crackalackin |
12/1(-118%) | (6) Crackalackin 12/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Had every chance but ran below form when fourth, beaten 7l, last time and competes from the same mark. Off the mark in a lower grade at Lingfield (1m4f) in November; step up in trip a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -14%)Ludo's Landing |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Ludo's Landing 16/1, Never threatened in a race dominated from the front when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective over 10-12f but has been inconsistent since returning to action. 1-19 on the AW; below his best at Kempton last time and now steps up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -78%)Vice President |
16/1(-78%) | (4) Vice President 16/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective over 10-16f, though his optimum trip remains uncertain. Shaped as if he would have benefited from a stronger gallop over 2m at Lingfield latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 -82%)Haaland |
40/1(-82%) | (7) Haaland 40/1, Needed the run when beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective up to 16f on the all-weather and now finds himself on a workable mark, though recent form has been modest. Three AW wins in 2023 (1m2f-2m); failed to beat a rival home following an absence latest. |

Ludo's Landing could only manage fifth in this grade at Kempton last month, but is of interest tackling this trip for the first time. Machete remains on a workable mark and is noted, but CARLTON might be the one. Just touched off over an extended 1m5f at this venue on his latest outing, James Owen's gelding looks well placed to gain a seventh course success.

Tryfan needs to bounce back from a lesser run but is second choice behind course specialist CARLTON (nap) who went close last time.

(9) (4/6 +70%)Zambezi River |
4/6(+70%) | (9) Zambezi River 4/6, Caught too far off a slow pace on debut when beaten 4l in a maiden at Kempton. Trainer is in form, and although drawn wide, this strong sort looks sure to improve. Shaped with promise when sixth on his debut at Kempton last month; improvement likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -113%)Stay Salty |
4/1(-113%) | (6) Stay Salty 4/1, Decent effort on debut when 6 1/2l fourth in a good maiden at Kempton first time out. Shapes as though he stays a mile and should improve with that experience behind him. Looks the one to beat on form. Showed plenty when fourth behind a smart prospect over 1m at Kempton on his debut; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 -20%)Tamashal |
6/1(-20%) | (7) Tamashal 6/1, 40,000 euros Phoenix Of Spain colt; half-brother to Westridge, smart at 10f; dam very useful at 11f; yard can get first time out winners so worth following in the betting. 40,000euros foal; half-brother to three winners including Walking Painting (RPR 109). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +36%)Master Of Keraunos |
9/1(+36%) | (3) Master Of Keraunos 9/1, 80,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Night Of Thunder; half-brother to Munsif, very useful at 12f; dam fair at 8f at 2yo; stable can get them ready first time so of interest. Gelding; half-brother to winners Munsif (1m2f/1m4f) and Mubhijah (7f); interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -27%)Grey Force |
14/1(-27%) | (2) Grey Force 14/1, Probably made too much use of when beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Southwell last time. Sprint-bred and handles all-weather conditions, but has a bit to prove after that disappointing effort. Sent off favourite but had a wide trip when seventh at Southwell (6f) on his second start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -56%)Sergeant Chaos |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Sergeant Chaos 25/1, Poor run up in trip when finishing down the field in a maiden at Yarmouth most recent. Tongue-tie is fitted first time, and he returns from a break having shown only modest ability so far. Struggled in four starts last year; has undergone wind/gelding operations since last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -175%)Quick Quasar |
33/1(-175%) | (4) Quick Quasar 33/1, Awkward start and green under pressure when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest. Drawn wide and bred for about 7f, but his temperament is starting to become a concern. Beaten around 10l in two starts over 7f; may be one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 +18%)Lady Of Clover |
33/1(+18%) | (10) Lady Of Clover 33/1, Green and never threatened on her only start when well beaten in a maiden at Leicester. Hood is applied first time, but she returns from a break and is difficult to fancy. Always behind on her debut at Leicester in September; has since left Ollie Sangster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (80/1 -220%)Claytons Kolatonic |
80/1(-220%) | (1) Claytons Kolatonic 80/1, Tasleet gelding whose dam was moderate over 6f at two years old. This represents a starting point, but the pedigree suggests speed rather than stamina and he may need time to show his best. Gelding by Tasleet; first foal; dam unplaced 6f-1m (RPR 44); best watched on his debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (200/1 -100%)Warm Waters |
200/1(-100%) | (8) Warm Waters 200/1, Tired badly after being made a lot of use of when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton on his only start. Speedily bred and may do better given shorter trips than on debut. 125-1 when beating only one rival home at Kempton on his debut; others preferred.. |

Stay Salty arguably brings the best form to the table after his debut fourth over a mile here, but a chance can be taken on newcomer TAMASHAL. The son of Phoenix Of Spain changed hands for 40,000 euros and is a half-brother to three winners, including Westridge. He is likely to improve as he steps up in trip but this looks a good starting point. Zambezi River completes the shortlist.

Zambezi River (second choice) shaped with promise when sixth on his debut but STAY SALTY is selected to get off the mark.

(4) (1/1 +43%)Crimson Rambler |
1/1(+43%) | (4) Crimson Rambler 1/1, Blinkers were tried and, despite being off a break, a longer trip suited when beaten a neck off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 7f and may get further. Big gelding and the headgear appeared to help a lot last time so could go a place better. Blinkered and much improved when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his h'cap debut; big shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/8 +50%)Crown The Future |
11/8(+50%) | (1) Crown The Future 11/8, Scored by 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back. Took a wide trip when fourth beaten 3l off 57 last time and is 2lb lower here. Cheekpieces are tried for the first time; effective at 7f but possibly not 1m. Mark looks about right. Good fourth at Wolverhampton last month; cheekpieces go on now and firmly in the picture. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -64%)Oh So Perfect |
9/1(-64%) | (6) Oh So Perfect 9/1, Made late headway, perhaps having been caught too far back, when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest. Suited by 6f and best form comes when racing near the front. On a fair mark and could return to form. Met trouble when third at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; eased 2lb so must enter calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -155%)Savvi Row |
14/1(-155%) | (5) Savvi Row 14/1, Ran to his usual moderate level when well beaten in a novice at Lingfield latest. Trainer is in form. Stays 7f and may want further, but overall profile looks limited. Has cut little ice in his three runs to date; goes into handicaps with plenty to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -83%)Mon Petit Frere |
33/1(-83%) | (7) Mon Petit Frere 33/1, Produced a similar poor level to his previous handicap run when beaten 8 1/4l in a Wolverhampton handicap last time. Tongue-tie suggests a breathing issue and he has yet to show much ability. Yet to make the frame in his five starts; others appeal more. |

CRIMSON RAMBLER displayed marked improvement on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton and, providing he copes with the quick turnaround, he looks to have a race of this nature well within his compass judged on that close-up second. Oh So Perfect would be no surprise winner and Crown The Future should also be thereabouts judged on recent performances at Wolverhampton in particular.

This can go to CRIMSON RAMBLER who improved when second on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton and can race off the same mark here.

2/1(+40%) | (5) Signcastle City 2/1, Returned to form down in class but was out-battled late when beaten 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 7/8f, on a long losing run but well treated if building on that revival. Got right back on track with Lingfield second latest; weighted to go close off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +21%)Panelli |
11/4(+21%) | (7) Panelli 11/4, Ran to form when beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time. From a top course trainer and effective from 5-8f on the all-weather, he arrives in decent form and should remain compeitive. In good form for current yard, second at Kempton 22 days ago; can make his presence felt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +0%)Captain Parma |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Captain Parma 5/1, Ran to form in first-time cheekpieces when beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 7f on the all-weather and arrives in form, so is respected. Good second (in first-time cheekpieces) at Lingfield 29 days ago; a likely player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +41%)How Impressive |
13/2(+41%) | (2) How Impressive 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap at Southwell on his latest start. Effective at 7f on the all-weather, but a bounce back is required after that disappointing run. C&D scorer but pulled up (bit his tongue) at Southwell 13 days ago; not one to rely on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +11%)Billy Mill |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Billy Mill 8/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton two starts ago, then was well held when eighth beaten 25l off 73 last time. Now 2lb lower; trainer in form, but unreliable these days. Scored at Kempton in January but last of eight there 22 days ago; others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -87%)Lequinto |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Lequinto 14/1, Too much to do having met trouble at a key stage and unlucky when beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 5/6f, though inconsistent recently and needs to build on that effort with stamina to prove. Good second at Lingfield latest; effective at this trip so very much one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -83%)Kit Gabriel |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Kit Gabriel 22/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Tongue-tie is applied for the first time, but a wide draw and inconsistency remain concerns. Solid fourth in 7f Lingfield handicap last time; shortlisted in a first-time tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 -38%)Law Of Design |
22/1(-38%) | (1) Law Of Design 22/1, Met trouble but did not find much after when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Drawn wide here; effective at 6/7f, though remains unproven on the all-weather. Yet to fire for his new yard but he was a fair 7f winner at his best so possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -52%)Riot |
50/1(-52%) | (10) Riot 50/1, Unsuited by the way the race developed off a steady pace when beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f on the all-weather, but has lost form of late despite dropping in the weights. Needs pace collapse but not ruled out if getting it. Yet to offer much for his current yard; much more required from this three-time C&D winner. |

SIGNCASTLE CITY was beaten just half a length into second at Lingfield last Saturday and a repeat of that performance will make him hard to beat in this handicap finale. It won't be long before Captain Parma gets back in the winning groove at this level and he's noted along with Chola Empire, who brings winning C&D form to the table.

Richard Hannon's SIGNCASTLE CITY signalled he is ready to end a long losing run when a resurgent second at Lingfield and gets the vote

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.
