1st (1) (4/7 +31%)Johnny's Jury |
4/7(+31%) | (1) Johnny's Jury 4/7, Improved for debut experience when beating a useful yardstick by 9 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Exeter last time; effective over 2m4f on soft; progressing and that latest run has been franked, so he could defy a penalty. Easy win on yard debut at Exeter last month and that form reads very well; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 +32%)Kilnesare Flight |
9/4(+32%) | (2) Kilnesare Flight 9/4, The yard won this last year; made a very promising debut when beating rivals who set a useful standard by 2l in a novice hurdle at Ayr last time; effective at 2m, acts with cut and likely to get further in time so this stiff track should suit. Had some solid yardsticks in behind when winning on hurdle debut at Ayr; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 -13%)Knomorediamonds |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Knomorediamonds 9/2, Was a bit below form when tiring late on up in trip, having done plenty early, when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; effective from 2m to 2m2 1/2f on soft and good; has experience edge and sets the standard on form. In good form in handicaps this season; major player now back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (33/1 -83%)Coco Masterpiece |
33/1(-83%) | (4) Coco Masterpiece 33/1, Found little having briefly threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recent; trainer in form; effective at 2m and acts with cut; point and bumper winner who has had plenty of issues and is yet to show much over hurdles. Point/bumper winner but pulled up/tailed off this year on first two hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (80/1 -142%)Mcelhattan |
80/1(-142%) | (6) Mcelhattan 80/1, The yard won this last year; was outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held on rules debut in a bumper at Ayr last time; point winner who should appreciate the step up in trip on hurdle debut. Point winner but well beaten on bumper debut and needs a big step forward today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (80/1 -21%)The Foreman |
80/1(-21%) | (7) The Foreman 80/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a bumper at Haydock on his only start; absent for a very lengthy period and has plenty to prove returning from a huge lay-off. Tailed off at 16-1 on debut in Haydock bumper in 2022 and absent since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (150/1 -127%)Nevershedatear |
150/1(-127%) | (9) Nevershedatear 150/1, Never threatened when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time; tongue-tie worn for the first time and she may need more time and further over hurdles. Won on debut in Irish mares' maiden point last March but tailed off on both hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -155%)Matching Energy |
28/1(-155%) | (5) Matching Energy 28/1, Fell in a novice hurdle here last time when tiring; point and bumper winner; returns from a short break; effective at 2m and can do better under a more reserved ride. 2-2 prior to promising run on C&D hurdle debut (final-flight faller); could be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (250/1 -25%)Khaleesi Queen |
250/1(-25%) | (8) Khaleesi Queen 250/1, Never threatened when down the field in a bumper at Newcastle most recent; major improvement needed now switching to hurdles. Useful pedigree but tailed off at big odds in both bumpers; a transformation is necessary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (250/1 -400%)Blondina |
250/1(-400%) | (10) Blondina 250/1, Made mistakes, was outpaced and needed the run on hurdle debut when down the field in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh most recent; yet to show much in either code. 0-6 on the Flat and well beaten at 33-1 on hurdle/stable debut at Musselburgh. |

JOHNNY'S JURY was bought for 75,000 pounds to join Jamie Snowden following a third in a Ffos Las bumper and it looked money well spent when he comfortably accounted for three subsequent winners on his hurdling debut at Exeter. That impressive display earned him a couple of Cheltenham entries and another big performance here could book his Festival ticket. Kilnesare Flight also made a successful beginning to his timber career and can pick up any pieces should the selection misfire, although Knomorediamonds can't be ruled out with confidence.

Having impressed at Exeter last month, JOHNNY'S JURY is taken to make it 2-2 for Jamie Snowden. Kilnesare Flight is a danger.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (9/2 +72%)Hello Judge |
9/2(+72%) | (7) Hello Judge 9/2, Comfortably held off a stiff mark in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground; back on his last winning mark but must bounce back. Something to prove regarding current form but 5-10 at Carlisle; not ruled out back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 -14%)Hardy Du Seuil |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Hardy Du Seuil 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor three starts ago. Ran to form on his chase return when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l off 127 last time, and is 1lb lower here; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good. Respectable fourth last month when back chasing; has run well on both previous visits here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 +35%)Here Comes Georgie |
13/2(+35%) | (2) Here Comes Georgie 13/2, Keen and found little after a bad error when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ascot last time. Off a short break, effective at 2m and suited by good ground, and a drop back in trip may suit but conditions a worry. Went close at Doncaster in November and he was in a hot race when tailed off last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (9/2 +59%)Willie Shake Hands |
9/2(+59%) | (9) Willie Shake Hands 9/2, Outpaced and below form when up in class and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Haydock last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; generally consistent until his latest run. Close third at Doncaster in December but soundly beaten when upped to this grade last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (13/2 -18%)Karafon |
13/2(-18%) | (6) Karafon 13/2, Below form and comfortably held when up in class in a novice chase at Down Royal last time. The trainer is in form, he is effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts with cut and is well treated on his hurdle form. Underwhelming at Down Royal last time but good second on chase debut at Ayr previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (4/1 -33%)Grain D'oudairies |
4/1(-33%) | (1) Grain D'oudairies 4/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Haydock on his penultimate start. Effective at 2m and just about gets a sharp 2 1/2m, acts on good ground and is in career-best form, though his revised mark demands more. 8l second to progressive winner at Doncaster last time and he's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (13/2 +0%)Soft Risk |
13/2(+0%) | (5) Soft Risk 13/2, Landed a handicap by 4l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time and was absent for a very lengthy period before that. Effective at 2m and acts with cut; progressive when last seen, lightly raced and from a good yard despite issues. Has won fresh and mark looks generous. Defied 628-day layoff for chase debut win at Ayr in 2023; back from 789 days off this time. |

GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES won two of his first three starts this campaign but then had the misfortune to bump into a rapidly-improving novice at Doncaster. He still beat the rest fair and square so a 1lb drop might be a bit hasty and he can take full advantage. Karafon's only previous handicap outing in this sphere saw him split a couple of subsequent winners at Ayr and he must be feared. Here Comes Georgie was ahead of the selection when runner-up on Town Moor in November, while Soft Risk has obviously had his issues but it's interesting that connections persevere with him.

Nicky Richards has shown with Milcree this winter that an absence isn't a barrier to success with his stable, and SOFT RISK gets the nod

(3) (4/1 +0%)Fancy Girl |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Fancy Girl 4/1, Yard won this last year; when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a Conditions Hurdle at Down Royal latest, returning from a long layoff; effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on yielding and good; useful hurdler but conditions a concern on chase debut. Point/bumper/hurdle and winner who has the scope to be as effective over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/4 +0%)Karamoja |
7/4(+0%) | (6) Karamoja 7/4, Yard won this last year; stopped quickly after a bad error and was well beaten in a beginners chase at Naas latest; effective over 2-2 1/2m; yet to take to chasing but the class angle judged on hurdles form. Underwhelming start over fences but her hurdling exploits are much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Honey Come Quick |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Honey Come Quick 10/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced but improved, looking in need of a stiffer test when 16l third in a beginners chase at Naas most recent run; effective over 2 1/2-2 3/4m; multiple point winner needs a drop in class and may get 3m. Dual point winner who didn't run over hurdles; nice run at Naas on second chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +0%)Neon Diamond |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Neon Diamond 10/1, Made mistakes but ran to form on chase debut when fourth, beaten 17l, in a beginners chase at Naas latest; trainer in form; effective over 2 1/2-2 3/4m; could build on that initial experience. With a pointing background she should have a future over fences and ran okay at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 +0%)Dameauscottlestown |
10/3(+0%) | (2) Dameauscottlestown 10/3, Had too much to do having been hampered and was unlucky, improving up in trip when second, beaten 3/4l, in the Listed Paddy And Maureen Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; effective over 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft; progressing and should improve for this longer trip on chase debut. Second over hurdles at the DRF; brings momentum into her chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +0%)Gaoth Chuil |
13/2(+0%) | (4) Gaoth Chuil 13/2, Looked awkward but needed a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; unlucky to be a maiden over fences but may need 3m. 0-5 as a chaser and has twice disappointed since taking a heavy fall last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 +0%)Coillte M C G |
33/1(+0%) | (1) Coillte M C G 33/1, Ran to form on chase debut when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a beginners chase at Cork latest; effective over 2-2 1/2m, acts on yielding and good; point form suggests she may have a bit more to offer over fences. It wasn't a strong race in which she finished fourth at Cork on chase debut. |

Four of these met at Naas last month and that might be the key piece of form to focus on. KARAMOJA was Grade 1-placed over hurdles last season and after showing some promise here on her chasing debut, let favourite-backers down last time. Honey Come Quick was third in that same contest with Neon Diamond close up in fourth and Gaoth Chuil never involved in sixth. The latter was placed twice over fences last spring, while Dameauscottlestown beat all bar Cousin Kate in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Preference is for HONEY COME QUICK who was highly tried on her chasing debut and then ran well behind useful opposition at Naas.

(5) (2/5 -100%)He's On Fire |
2/5(-100%) | (5) He's On Fire 2/5, Improved when second, beaten a short-neck, in a 4yo hurdle at Auteuil latest; off a short break; effective at 2m2f and acts with cut. Showed useful form in France, has joined a top yard and should be winning soon. 2nd at Auteuil in November; excellent opportunity to make winning start for Willie Mullins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +44%)Johnny Moonshine |
9/2(+44%) | (6) Johnny Moonshine 9/2, Yard won this last year; outpaced but finished well on a promising debut when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Ayr latest; effective at 2m and acts on soft. Debut form franked and a likely improver now upped in distance. Kept on for 4th over 2m at Ayr on hurdle debut and the step up in trip looks a good move. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -7%)The Dog Thief |
8/1(-7%) | (9) The Dog Thief 8/1, Promising 5l winner of a Maiden Point at Alnwick on debut; trainer in form and off a short break. The form of that point win looks modest and the market can guide. Won by 5l on debut in British maiden point; could give a good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -230%)Forever Louie |
33/1(-230%) | (3) Forever Louie 33/1, Improved from debut when second, beaten 4l, in a bumper at Musselburgh latest; off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft. Showed promise in bumpers and the longer trip should suit on hurdle debut. Runner-up in Musselburgh bumper and open to improvement now up in trip on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Rosa Diaz |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Rosa Diaz 40/1, Not given a hard time when fourth, beaten 41l, in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective at 2m5f and may improve for 3m in time. Point winner who made fairly encouraging hurdle debut before a lesser run last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 +20%)Passing Diamond |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Passing Diamond 40/1, Outpaced on a modest debut and needed the run when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time; off a short break. Irish bumper form has been franked and he could build on that effort but needs to. Two-time Irish point winner but tailed off on hurdle debut at Hereford in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (66/1 -100%)Swingingonthesteel |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Swingingonthesteel 66/1, Below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield latest, up in class and trip; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good. Looked a gelding going places in the spring in bumpers but has plenty to prove over hurdles. Two bumper wins last season but yet to transfer that promise to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 +20%)Wherearethejudges |
80/1(+20%) | (10) Wherearethejudges 80/1, Outpaced and never threatened when failing to build on his debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ayr latest; effective over 2 1/2m. A return to this track is a plus but more is needed. Signs of ability but will be of greater interest when qualified for handicaps after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (200/1 -100%)Eagle's Cairn |
200/1(-100%) | (2) Eagle's Cairn 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle latest; effective over 2m2 1/2f and likely one for handicaps. Has shown some ability but not enough to suggest he'll make an impact today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (250/1 -67%)Cool Master |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Cool Master 250/1, Outpaced and a poor effort when down the field in a novice hurdle at Catterick most recently; has plenty to prove. Triple-figure odds when tailed off over hurdles on his first two starts. |

Having ended his time in France with a close-up second, HE'S ON FIRE may be too strong on this British/stable bow. Willie Mullins' gelding has been given an official rating of 120 and others will need to improve to reach a similar level. Tom Ellis has his string in fine fettle and point-to-point winner The Dog Thief is feared most on Rules debut, ahead of Johnny Moonshine, who is a potential improver stepping up in distance.

Willie Mullins has sent just one runner to Carlisle today and HE'S ON FIRE can make a winning start for his new connections.

(3) (7/2 +0%)Our Boy Rocky |
7/2(+0%) | (3) Our Boy Rocky 7/2, Improved back down in trip when beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective at around 2 1/2m and acts with plenty of cut; on a fair mark based on hurdles form and could build on that latest improvement. Only his third start over fences when runner-up in a 2m5f handicap here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +0%)Hello Jack |
8/1(+0%) | (1) Hello Jack 8/1, Ran to form when 11l third in a handicap chase here last time down in trip; cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and the trainer is in form. Effective over 2m5f, acts on S and G; may have a bit more to offer but the mark demands it. Found his level when third on handicap debut here a month ago (2m5f, soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +0%)Mount Frisco |
9/2(+0%) | (4) Mount Frisco 9/2, Made too much use of and tired late after errors when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l, in a handicap chase at Thurles penultimate start. Bounced back to form with win at the weekend. Effective around 2m-2m4f and acts with cut; still on an attractive mark. Snapped a losing run at Gowran on Saturday but had a hard race in the process. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +0%)Westoftignes |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Westoftignes 11/2, Hampered at the last and just failed, running to his best when a neck second off a 4lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; hood fitted first time. Effective at 2m4f-2m6f, acts on Hy and G; in form and may do better over slightly further now chasing. Makes chase debut on the back of a near miss over hurdles off 4lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 +0%)Shanroe Act |
11/2(+0%) | (7) Shanroe Act 11/2, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 17lb lower mark at Down Royal last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; progressive over hurdles and fences and may have more to come over further. 17lb higher than for his Down Royal win and he didn't have that much in hand. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +0%)Favori Logique |
13/2(+0%) | (2) Favori Logique 13/2, Out-battled and possibly outstayed late when beaten a neck off a 5lb higher mark at Wexford last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and just about gets 3m, acts on S and G; well treated on old form but needs to prove ability remains. In excellent form when last seen but that was in late summer of 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (13/2 +0%)Shanroe Nelson |
13/2(+0%) | (10) Shanroe Nelson 13/2, Improved on recent form under a positive ride when 9l third in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m-2 1/2m but has yet to prove he is up to this mark. Chase debut and did finish third of 16 in a handicap hurdle here latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +0%)Smackwater Jack |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Smackwater Jack 14/1, Outpaced and below form but did see out the trip well when fourth, beaten 26l, in a handicap chase at Navan last time. Effective from 2 1/2m-3m and acts on any ground; very well treated on old form but inconsistent of late. Nothing like the force of old and has been struggling over hurdles and fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +0%)Lovely Reaction |
18/1(+0%) | (6) Lovely Reaction 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on any ground; inconsistent after a lay-off and jumping has been an issue. Dual hurdle winner; she's not looking as effective over fences; could yet come good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +0%)Agent Tequila |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Agent Tequila 28/1, May have found the ground too testing when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Usually held up and returning from a short break; likely wants further than 2m but needs more on chase debut. Won a point but was modest over hurdles, failing to make the frame in nine runs. |

OUR BOY ROCKY (second) had Hello Jack (third) eight lengths behind over 2m5f here last month. The selection won a maiden hurdle on testing ground and has a fair chance of opening his account over fences. Westoftignes joined John McConnell after finishing second over hurdles at Gowran and makes his chasing bow. Shanroe Act won in fine style over hurdles here last month and followed up off the same lowly mark on his chasing debut, but a 17lb higher mark will demand more of the eight-year-old.

Lightly raced 8yo OUR BOY ROCKY (nap) enjoys this slow ground and when second here last month he was nicely clear of Hello Jack.

(3) (10/3 +26%)Ayiko |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Ayiko 10/3, Returned to form on chase debut when second, beaten 2l, in a beginners chase at Haydock last time. Off a short break, effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts with cut; more to come over fences and may get a bit further. Looks on a good mark on hurdle form and should go close. Promising second on chase debut at Haydock and could build on that now back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -33%)Saint Davy |
4/1(-33%) | (1) Saint Davy 4/1, Back to form when dropped in trip and class, just tiring late when beaten 4 1/2l into third in a handicap chase at Windsor on his most recent run. Effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft and good to soft, and should come on for that latest outing. Ran well in third on last month's reappearance at Windsor and he's entitled to respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +43%)President Scottie |
4/1(+43%) | (6) President Scottie 4/1, Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on soft, though below par this term. There's a suspicion he's regressive but he's not discounted in view of a dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -100%)Upfordebate |
5/1(-100%) | (7) Upfordebate 5/1, Did it easily and improved again when landing a handicap by 12l off a 9lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Trainer in form and off a short break; suited by 3m+ and acts on soft and good, progressive and could complete a hat-trick. Made it 4 wins from last 5 starts when scoring easily at Sedgefield in December; up 9l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +50%)Sound And Fury |
11/2(+50%) | (4) Sound And Fury 11/2, Never travelled or jumped and finished a long way below form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Off a short break, effective over 3-3 1/4m and acts on any going; generally consistent but this mark demands more. Tailed off at Market Rasen last time but won here in November and he's not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +0%)Westerninthepark |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Westerninthepark 11/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and below his best this term, but the handicapper is relenting which gives him a chance if able to bounce back. Promising fourth on reappearance here in November but two lesser performances since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +11%)Hudson De Grugy |
16/1(+11%) | (5) Hudson De Grugy 16/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wetherby on his penultimate start, but made mistakes and did not stay when 14th, beaten 43l off 120, last time. On the same mark here, effective over 2m4f-3m3f, suited by cut, unreliable but capable. Ran well for long way over 3m4f at Windsor last time; could go well now back down in trip. |

Upfordebate has won four of his last five outings and cannot be dismissed given the rate at which he is progressing. However, a 9lb hike for his most recent Sedgefield triumph coupled with a rise in class will demand more of the seven-year-old. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on PRESIDENT SCOTTIE, who didn't appear to stay an extended 4m in the Borders National before running with credit over hurdles at Ayr. Ayiko and Saint Davy are other feasible alternatives.

3m handicap hurdle winner AYIKO goes back up in trip for his second chase start and earns the vote ahead of Hudson De Grugy.

(2) (4/1 +0%)Drumgill |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Drumgill 4/1, Ran to form but did not find much having looked a threat down the field in the Barberstown Castle Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown on his most recent start. Effective over 2-3m, acts on soft and best on a sound surface; dangerous if allowed to dictate. Has been running over shorter but stays this far; he can be up and down. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/6 +0%)Quai De Bourbon |
4/6(+0%) | (1) Quai De Bourbon 4/6, Yard won this race last year; pulled up in the Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Gowran Park on his latest start. Effective over 2 1/2-3 1/2m; out of form this year and his jumping has been an issue but Irish National third here sets the standard; could outclass these. Irish National third; pulled up in two major handicaps this season; still respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +0%)Jigoro |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Jigoro 11/4, Ran to form when a well-placed 2 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Thurles on his most recent run, in a race dominated from the front. Trainer in form; effective over 2-2 1/2m and generally consistent if a touch frustrating. Fourth run over fences and first in blinkers when third of 14 in a handicap at Thurles. |

QUAI DE BOURBON is not the most convincing of jumpers, but his class may tell against just two rivals with cheekpieces reapplied. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding ran a cracker when third behind Haiti Couleurs in the Irish Grand National here last year and this isn't demanding as the assignments he's faced so far this term. Jigoro hasn't won since taking a maiden hurdle at Navan over two years ago but he did at least offer some encouragement at Thurles last time. Drumgill has done most of his winning over much shorter trips and will need to find a bit more.

This largely hinges on whether QUAI DE BOURBON can recapture the best of his novice form. He has contested top handicaps this season.

5/4(-4%) | (8) Parish Star 5/4, Well treated escaping a penalty and improved when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Stays 2 1/2m and acts on heavy and good to soft; could complete a hat trick. Made it 2-2 over hurdles for new yard when winning over 2m4f latest; no hood this time. |

(1) (3/1 +14%)Scairp Dubh |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Scairp Dubh 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective around 2m and acts on a sound surface; in good form. Won point bumper; feeling his way over hurdles, close 4th latest (2m4f); can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +8%)Wind Your Neck In |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Wind Your Neck In 11/2, Far too free up in trip and did not stay, finishing well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest. Effective around 2m and acts on any ground; easing in the weights but in moderate form. Three Flat wins but 0-11 over hurdles and was a weak finisher upped to 2m4f latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +33%)Knockeranna Rose |
8/1(+33%) | (5) Knockeranna Rose 8/1, Green and made mistakes when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Wetherby latest. Effective over 2m and acts on a sound surface; handicaps may be more his thing and a step up in trip looks a plus. On a fair mark judged on bumper form. Clear promise in course bumper; can improve on hurdle form now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +0%)Tech That |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Tech That 10/1, Had every chance and ran to form, just tiring late on up in trip when fourth beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest. Cheekpieces first time; effective over 2m1f, acts on soft; needs more. Early promise at different levels; modest form now, in 2m/2m4f handicaps the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 +40%)Junkyard Dog |
12/1(+40%) | (10) Junkyard Dog 12/1, Never threatened and was ridden to see out the trip when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle most recent. Effective at 10-12f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles; Irish form franked at Listed level but yet to fire for his new yard. Flat winner at 1m2f; not yet found level over hurdles, adrift on handicap debut latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 -14%)Liloo D'ores |
25/1(-14%) | (12) Liloo D'ores 25/1, Found little and again below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on good ground; yet to win in the UK, out of form and the ground a worry. Much higher in weights when close up over C&D last April but hard to fancy on recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -178%)Perfectot |
50/1(-178%) | (6) Perfectot 50/1, Too keen and finished down the field in a novice hurdle at Catterick most recent. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time; effective over 2m on good to soft in bumpers and looks a type to do better in handicaps but mark demands it. Some bumper ability; goes handicapping at an ordinary level; has another headgear switch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 +0%)Gold Ring |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Gold Ring 50/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby most recent. Off a short break and regressive in both codes; hard to fancy. Two Flat wins but has shown very little in that code or over hurdles since spring 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -100%)Do Ye Wanna |
80/1(-100%) | (9) Do Ye Wanna 80/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest and is returning from a long layoff. Usually held up; has it all to prove in handicaps. Little to show for efforts in bumpers/over hurdles; this will be more his level. |

Recent Southwell winner Parish Star is sure to prove popular in her quest to complete a hat-trick and an 8lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, the six-year-old is likely to be priced accordingly and it could be worth taking a chance on handicap debutant FINE AS WINE. Gary Hanmer has done well with the runners he's sent here over the years and an opening mark of 84 might prove lenient. Scairp Dubh is the pick of the remainder.

This may lie between Scairp Dubh and PARISH STAR, with the latter taken to make it 3-3 in handicap hurdles for her new yard.

(8) (3/1 +0%)Duce Bigalow |
3/1(+0%) | (8) Duce Bigalow 3/1, Improved for the step up in trip when second, beaten 6l, in a handicap chase at Navan last time. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m and improving over fences at this level. Runner up two of last four starts, didn't quite get home over 3m latest, stamina a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +0%)One Horse Army |
6/1(+0%) | (5) One Horse Army 6/1, Had every chance but was below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently. Wants 3m+ and acts on soft; a staying chaser who has been struggling over hurdles of late. C&D winner off 7lb lower, poor over hurdles this term, return to chasing needs to spark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +0%)Plain Or Battered |
6/1(+0%) | (9) Plain Or Battered 6/1, Hampered by a loose horse but had every chance after when 19l third in a handicap chase at Navan most recently. Effective over 3m and suited by cut in the ground; his form has been in and out. 13l behind Duce Bigalow at Navan latest, stamina to prove, 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +0%)Mighty Oak Lad |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Mighty Oak Lad 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Navan last time. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m and suited by cut in the ground; should come on for that latest run. 3m course winner over hurdles, pulled up at Navan 8 days ago, needs to leave that behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +0%)Jerk |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Jerk 10/1, Never travelled and did not handle the track, with the ground possibly on the quick side, when down the field in a beginners chase at Down Royal most recently. Effective up to 3m and acts well with cut; mark looks workable; was in fair form until that latest run and the ground will suit here. Won on testing ground over hurdles, gets his ground for handicap chase bow, don't dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 +0%)Clonmeen |
25/1(+0%) | (2) Clonmeen 25/1, Ran to current form when down the field in a handicap chase at Limerick most recently, off a short break. Effective up to 3m and acts on heavy and yielding; now down in the weights but his form has been in and out of late. Promise here in October but poor since, 11lb below last win now, heavy ground fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 +0%)Duffys Getaway |
25/1(+0%) | (7) Duffys Getaway 25/1, Never threatened and was hampered by a faller when beaten down the field in a handicap chase here most recently. Suited by 3m on testing ground; has not taken to chasing. On long losing run, pulled up in two of four starts this term, beaten 32l here latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 0%)Aine's Lad |
9/4(0%) | (6) Aine's Lad 9/4, Did it easily and built on a recent revival when landing a handicap by 9l off a 9lb lower mark at Thurles last time. Effective over 2-3m and acts on heavy and good; back in form and may have a bit more to offer now he has had his head in front. Big player on chase debut. 2m7f win over timber at Thurles latest, bred to make a chaser but lacks experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -6%)Baldur's Gate |
9/1(-6%) | (4) Baldur's Gate 9/1, Again a bit below his best when well beaten in a handicap chase at Limerick last time, off a short break. Effective over 2m4f-3m2f and suited by plenty of cut; needs more on this third run back. 1-19 over fences, 8.75l behind One Horse Army over C&D a year ago, 14lb better off now. |

AINE'S LAD was impressive over hurdles at Thurles and it's interesting that connections head straight into handicap company over fences off his revised mark. The seven-year-old reportedly had some 'little problems' in the past, but seems to be in a good place now and may be able to make a winning start over the larger obstacles. Duce Bigalow has been runner-up twice this season, most recently when chasing home Brown Boots at Navan. He looks an obvious danger. Plain Or Battered is another with placed form, but has a bit to find with Duce Bigalow on that recent run at Navan.

If CLONMEEN can repeat the form he showed when fourth here in October off 9lb higher he may be able to spring a surpris

9/2(-13%) | (3) Soldier's Leap 9/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start; trainer in form. Effective at 2m-2m3f and acts on soft and good; progressive in handicaps but this new mark asks more. Progressed since wind op with two handicap wins and a good 5th at Newbury; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 0%)He's Bresilian |
9/2(0%) | (2) He's Bresilian 9/2, Travelled well and was out-battled late but ran to form when beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good to soft; consistent and should remain competitive. In good form on last two starts, winning a maiden then 2nd in Ayr handicap; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 +56%)Swinging London |
7/1(+56%) | (9) Swinging London 7/1, Poorly placed off a modest pace at a sharp track when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time; in good form prior. Usually held up; effective at 2m-2m5f and acts on soft and good; down in the weights and useful dual purpose performer is of interest. Four AW Flat wins but 1-19 over hurdles; good 2nd in November and chance on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 -75%)Vampire Slayer |
7/1(-75%) | (6) Vampire Slayer 7/1, Did it easily and improved under an aggressive ride when landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good to soft; progressive and should remain competitive. Two from two since visored, latest by 13l; up 9lb but should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (15/2 +32%)Two Auld Pals |
15/2(+32%) | (12) Two Auld Pals 15/2, Ran to form, appreciating the easier ground when 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Ayr on his most recent run. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good; remains unexposed as a hurdler. Five-time Flat winner; consistent over hurdles but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +20%)Fostered Phil |
8/1(+20%) | (10) Fostered Phil 8/1, Scored by 7l off a 5lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; poorly placed and ridden to see out the trip, barely doing so when fifth beaten 12l off 104 last time, 1lb lower here. Effective at 2m-2 1/2m; remains well treated on old form and needs this drop in trip. Veteran who won twice last year, the second over C&D; now 5lb higher in a stronger race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -214%)Azahara Palace |
11/1(-214%) | (1) Azahara Palace 11/1, Ran to form, just tiring after a late error when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Catterick last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on any ground; reliable on the Flat and could progress over hurdles, but this mark demands it. Quite useful on Flat; Hexham winner (2m, heavy) in December; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +44%)Book Of Secrets |
14/1(+44%) | (8) Book Of Secrets 14/1, Far too free when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Suited by 2m on a sound surface; a bounce back is needed. 1-19 over hurdles; close 2nd at Newton Abbot in September; well beaten over C&D since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 +0%)Interchangeable |
16/1(+0%) | (14) Interchangeable 16/1, Poorly placed and ridden to see out the trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Usually held up and off a short break; effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; could be running into form for a new yard. Maiden hurdle win for Stuart Crawford but hasn't run as well for new yard; on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 +20%)Rock Hurley |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Rock Hurley 20/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield most recently. Off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; inconsistent but likes the track. Easy winner off 12lb lower in April but well beaten both runs since; a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 0%)Dee's Getaway |
25/1(0%) | (13) Dee's Getaway 25/1, Up in trip and didn't stay when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh most recently. Off a short break; effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; a drop in trip is a plus but needs more. Ex-Irish; 33-1 Ayr winner in November but hasn't run as well since (over 3m last time). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Lady Babs |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Lady Babs 40/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. Effective at 2m/2m1f, acts on soft and good, and goes well at Market Rasen; may need to come down a few more pounds. Triple C&D winner but hasn't been in top form this season and others make more appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -213%)Russian Virtue |
50/1(-213%) | (7) Russian Virtue 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good; below par since returning to hurdling. Six-time hurdle winner, latest in December 2023; pulled up last time; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -100%)Celestial Reign |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Celestial Reign 50/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective over 2m-2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good; on a fair mark based on spring form but must bounce back. Sedgefield maiden hurdle winner in May and good 2nd here next time; not so good recently. |

An 11lb hike from the assessor was enough to thwart Soldier's Leap's hat-trick bid at Newbury, but he's not easily dismissed in what looks a slightly weaker contest. Even so, HE'S BRESILIAN may be slightly better treated following his second-placed effort at Ayr, as a 2lb rise in the handicap looks workable. Vampire Slayer has proved a different proposition since being fitted with a visor and completes the shortlist.

The progressive SOLDIER'S LEAP is taken to win his third handicap of the season with He's Bresilian his main danger.

4/1(+0%) | (5) Mode Avion 4/1, Improved when suited by a positive ride at a sharp track, finishing 16l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on his most recent run; trainer in form, effective at 2m and acts on heavy; likely has more to offer. AQPS winner in France, promise in three Irish starts but Kennedy jumps ship. |

(1) (6/1 +0%)Lumiere Du Large |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Lumiere Du Large 6/1, Paid the price for trying to go with the all-the-way winner and made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m, acts with cut, well treated on French form but struggling for this yard. French recruit, no impact in four starts for this yard, well beaten in h'cap latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +0%)Piccolo Player |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Piccolo Player 7/1, Ran to form when a well-placed 13l third in a handicap hurdle at Thurles on his most recent run in a race dominated from the front at a sharp track; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and heavy; in fair form. Limerick maiden hurdle winner for this rider, below par since but gets his ground here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +0%)Kentucky Beach |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Kentucky Beach 7/2, Hung off the bend and failed to handle the track when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective at 2m and suited by plenty of cut, winter form has been franked and his mark looks generous, worth forgiving that latest run. Promise in maidens and in first two h'caps (inc' over C&D), poor latest but could rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/8 +0%)Lynches Knock |
11/8(+0%) | (4) Lynches Knock 11/8, Did not have the speed of a potentially classy winner when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest, appreciating a stiff track down in trip; effective at 2-2 1/4m and acts on soft and good; likely to get much further in time and latest form is strong. The one to beat. Leopardstown academy hurdle winner, runner up in Naas maiden latest, big chance. |

LYNCHES KNOCK has an official rating of 120 and that doesn't look harsh at all. He won an academy hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas and then ran a big race in an maiden hurdle at Naas last month. The winner Kai Lung looks smart and he had Saratoga three-parts of a length back in third. Gordon Elliott also saddles Mode Avion, who was running well until a mistake two out in Thurles. Like the selection, he gets a nice chunk of weight from his elders. Lumiere Du Large was highly tried last season, but has been a touch disappointing this term. She heads the weights and may be capable of better.

Gordon Elliott runs two here and the fact that Jack Kennedy prefers the chances of LYNCHES KNOCK over Mode Avion looks significant

5/4(+69%) | (7) Wolfburg 5/4, Scored by 9 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wetherby on his penultimate start. Effective at 2-2 1/2m on soft, progressing and may remain well treated judged on hurdle form, and needs this drop back in trip. 2m3f win at Wetherby then travelled well when third over 3m1f at Catterick; lots to like. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +0%)Largy Train |
7/2(+0%) | (6) Largy Train 7/2, Jumped right and was game, running to form when benefitting from a positive ride down in trip to land a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Enjoys making it, effective around 2 1/2m and consistent. Course winner who got back on the scoresheet at Sedgefield latest; on the shortlist up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +43%)Hawkseye View |
4/1(+43%) | (9) Hawkseye View 4/1, Taken on up front and set it up for a closer when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. In good form prior to that, off a short break, effective from 2 1/2-3m on good, and the mark looks fair. Made it 0-18 when below par at Market Rasen last time but he was in good heart previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +66%)Canunclecani |
11/2(+66%) | (4) Canunclecani 11/2, Up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ayr most recently. Effective from 2m1f-3m and acts on soft, having been generally consistent until that latest effort. Fair mark on best hurdle form which came here so interesting at a price on chase debut. Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut but this point runner-up could be suited by chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -150%)Trac |
10/1(-150%) | (1) Trac 10/1, Back to form when tried in blinkers, landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Off a short break, effective from 2m-2m4f and acts on any surface, but needs to show the headgear works as well again. Won at Newcastle in December and this course winner remains on a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -100%)Sean Og |
20/1(-100%) | (3) Sean Og 20/1, Got racing too early and finished tired when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Hexham last time. Returning from a break, effective from 2m5f-3m, a Cartmel specialist and generally consistent performer. Below par at Hexham in October but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -75%)Cuzco Du Mathan |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Cuzco Du Mathan 28/1, May have found the ground too fast on a quick return when well beaten in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest. Effective at around 2m and wants some cut, now back below his last winning mark and may just need this. Two wins at Cartmel in 2024 but below that level in 2025; first outing since last August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (250/1 -67%)Baptism Of Fire |
250/1(-67%) | (5) Baptism Of Fire 250/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Catterick latest. Usually held up, effective from 2 1/2-3m, but inconsistent and needs to prove his ability remains after a lay-off. Very useful for Henry de Bromhead in his prime but pulled up on all four runs last year. |

Despite jumping right at times, LARGY TRAIN set perfect fractions to make all of the running at Sedgefield. Charlie Maggs negates a 4lb rise in the handicap with his 5lb claim so this course and distance winner ticks plenty of the right boxes. The biggest threat may be Trac, who travelled with more verve in first-time blinkers when victorious at Newcastle, while Wolfburg is expected to relish a drop in trip.

The drop back in trip should be ideal for WOLFBURG (nap), who was outstayed over 3m1f at Catterick. Canunclecani is next best.

(1) (3/1 +0%)Beauvallon |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Beauvallon 3/1, Showed minor promise when comfortably held on debut in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective at 2m; does not appeal on Flat form but has joined a top yard and should have more to offer over hurdles. 12-1 and well beaten on Irish debut, should improve and Townend up, can't discount. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/15 +0%)Ole Ole |
8/15(+0%) | (5) Ole Ole 8/15, Ran to form when second, beaten a head, in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown latest; hood first time; off a short break; effective at 2m; ex-French and has joined a top yard, likely more to come and should be winning soon. Placed all four starts over hurdles, beaten a head latest, obvious chance in new hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Berto Ramirez |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Berto Ramirez 14/1, Had every chance but was below form when well beaten in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective at 2m; likely one for handicaps over hurdles. Soundly beaten in 2m maiden hurdles here and at Punchestown, more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +0%)Direct Approach |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Direct Approach 14/1, Yard won this last year; showed some promise when down the field on debut in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recently; trainer in form and should improve. Soundly beaten on hurdles debut when 20-1, preferred by Kennedy, needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 +0%)Irragh |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Irragh 20/1, Yard won this last year; 31,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Latrobe; half-brother to Jumble Jury, very useful at 16f; trainer in form; top trainer but doesn't look stable first string judged on jockey bookings. E31,000 Latrobe gelding, half-brother to three winners, top yard, check the market. |

(6) (20/1 +0%)Celtic Alliance |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Celtic Alliance 20/1, Yard won this last year; 40,000 euros Order Of St George filly; half-sister to Absolute Notions, smart at 22f; trainer in form; top trainer but doesn't look stable first string judged on jockey bookings. Order Of St George gelding, half-sister to useful Absolute Notions, market best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 +0%)Hunting Gold |
33/1(+0%) | (7) Hunting Gold 33/1, Never threatened but finished well when well beaten on her modest debut in a juvenile hurdle at Naas on her only start; off a short break; effective at 2m; may need more time. Form of Naas debut fifth has taken a few knocks since, others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 +0%)Thilos |
125/1(+0%) | (8) Thilos 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; effective at 2m; yet to build on debut and best watched for now. Modest on the Flat and in three starts over hurdles, pulled up latest, hard to fancy. |

OLE OLE wouldn't be winning out of turn after three runner-up efforts. The Cloth Of Stars gelding was most recently pipped close home at Leopardstown over Christmas by Hardy Stuff. He is fitted with a hood now and this looks like a nice opportunity to get his head in front. Beauvallon was a well-held fifth on his Irish debut behind stablemate Charme De Faust at Thurles, but may improve a bit from that run. Gordon Elliott saddles three, with Jack Kennedy taking the mount on Direct Approach. He showed ability on the Flat, but needs to improve from his initial showing over jumps at Punchestown.

This looks a gilt-edged opportunity for OLE OLE to get off the mark over hurdles, as long as he takes to the first-time hood

(1) (15/8 +46%)Keppel Queen |
15/8(+46%) | (1) Keppel Queen 15/8, Never jumped or travelled and was outpaced, but shaped with credit when beaten 4 1/4l in third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m, suited by decent ground; consistent. The return to a right-handed track is a likely plus and she's high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 0%)It's Maisy |
11/2(0%) | (8) It's Maisy 11/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; effective over 2m4f-3m and suited by plenty of cut; generally consistent at this level. Ran okay over 2m4f at Newcastle and she's won at up to 3m1f; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +33%)Smile Back |
6/1(+33%) | (4) Smile Back 6/1, Had every chance but was possibly outstayed up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; had been in good form prior; effective over 2m4f; mare with a bit more to offer. Only sixth at Taunton when upped to 3m but could better that when back on soft ground. |

(3) (17/2 +15%)Vroomoz Eile |
17/2(+15%) | (3) Vroomoz Eile 17/2, Had every chance and ran to form before just tiring late when beaten 8 1/2l in third in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; off a short break; effective over 2 1/2-3m; good mark based on win here; should come on for that latest run. Course novice winner who was third at Haydock in December and could build on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -157%)Maura Jeanne |
9/1(-157%) | (7) Maura Jeanne 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time; usually held up; effective over 3m; consistent performer but this mark demands more. Runner-up on two of her last three outings and could be thereabouts once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -67%)Lizzie Luna |
10/1(-67%) | (5) Lizzie Luna 10/1, Keen and made too much use of when fourth, beaten 10l, in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time; effective over 2m4f-3m; back in form and capable if settling better. Went very close at Musselburgh in December; only fourth there since but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +31%)Hellfire Princess |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Hellfire Princess 11/1, Scored by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Ffos Las two starts ago; unsuited by the way the race developed when sixth, beaten 23l off 103 last time off this mark; effective around 2 1/2m; form in and out. Won at Ffos Las in November and she's better than she showed at Ludlow 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 -17%)Moveonbuy |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Moveonbuy 14/1, Ran well to a point before tiring late when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time; effective over 2m4f-2m7f; inconsistent but a strong stayer. Inconsistent and soundly beaten a fortnight ago but beaten just a head two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -408%)Zhanma Enki |
33/1(-408%) | (6) Zhanma Enki 33/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Ayr last time; trainer in form and tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective at 2m but mark demands improvement. Half-sister to classy stayer Yala Enki who could relish the step up in trip on h'cap debut. |

It's Maisy has been expensive to follow this season and, although she continues to edge down the ratings, it might be best to look elsewhere. MAURA JEANNE found only a subsequent winner too strong at Ayr and compensation could be on the cards. Keppel Queen has the ability to figure if jumping with more fluency, while the refitting of a hood should be of benefit to Smile Back.

This could go to ZHANMA ENKI, a half-sister to the classy stayer Yala Enki who may well relish the step up in trip on handicap debut.

3/1(+0%) | (4) Survivors Sister 3/1, Improved again up in trip and did it easily when landing a handicap by 22l off an 11lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on Y and SH; well treated if turned out quickly and could follow up. Up 11lb for breakthrough win on latest, this a better race but can't discount, ground fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +0%)Miss Lia |
7/2(+0%) | (9) Miss Lia 7/2, Ran to form when beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark at Tramore last time; off a short break; effective at around 2 1/2m; consistent over hurdles and can improve if ridden more positively. Narrowly denied off 1lb lower at Tramore, well beaten two previous runs on heavy ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +0%)Cathryns Ruby |
8/1(+0%) | (6) Cathryns Ruby 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l by a well handicapped pair off a 1lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m4f and acts on a sound surface and heavy; generally in good form. Won off 6lb lower at Wexford in Oct', 3.5l third over C&D latest, place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +0%)Run For Cover |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Run For Cover 9/2, Did it cosily and improved again under an aggressive ride, down in trip, when landing a handicap by 11l off a 12lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m, acts with cut; progressing now he has had his head in front. Raised a cumulative 22lb for wins over C&D and at Naas, may face competition for lead here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +0%)Onefortheditch |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Onefortheditch 9/2, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Limerick on her penultimate start; keen and made too much use of but ran to form when sixth, beaten 6l off 104, last time in better race; same mark here; effective 2m-3m and goes on any ground; in form. Sound effort off this mark at DRF latest, this less demanding, place shout off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +0%)Forceonmyown |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Forceonmyown 11/2, Improved on her final qualifying run but looked in need of further when fourth, beaten 6l, in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; point and bumper winner with more to come in handicaps over further than 2m. Point and bumper winner, opening mark looks reasonable, go well on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (18/1 +0%)Love Like This |
18/1(+0%) | (10) Love Like This 18/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest a fair way out but when going well in front; effective over 2-2 1/2m and acts on any ground; was in good form in the summer and could build on that latest revival. In front when falling at Limerick last time, best h'cap form on good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (20/1 +0%)Atomic Queen |
20/1(+0%) | (1) Atomic Queen 20/1, Unsuited by the ground and outclassed when comfortably held in the Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) here last time; effective over 2m-2m2f on G; this mark demands more. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner on good ground, may need a sounder surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 +0%)Lady Bluebird |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Lady Bluebird 40/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective over 2 1/2m; out of form. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, has failed to fire in h'caps, cheekpieces now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +0%)Gangster Granny |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Gangster Granny 50/1, Had no chance after completely missing the break when comfortably held in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective over 2m on G; multiple Flat winner who can do better over hurdles in handicaps but conditions a worry here. Dual Flat winner, below par on Flat and twice over timber for this stable, best watched. |

There could be plenty of pace on with a couple of confirmed front-runners. Run For Cover has got away in the lead on her last two outings and is sure to make a bold bid as she tries to defy a 12lb hike for her victory at Naas. Survivors Sister left her previous form well behind when a wide-margin winner at Limerick last week and has to be respected, despite an 11lb rise. FORCEONMYOWN should benefit from the step back up in trip after finishing a staying-on fourth in a Punchestown maiden hurdle. The point-to-point winner could be nicely treated on her handicap debut.

A chance is taken on the handicap debutante FORCEONMYOWN. Her opening mark looks reasonable and the step up to 2m4f should suit

(2) (9/4 +0%)El Bufalo |
9/4(+0%) | (2) El Bufalo 9/4, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; forced wide from a poor draw but ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/2l off 77 last time. Competitive mark and in fine form. Ran well behind Alondra, despite wide trip, on Friday when bidding for a C&D hat-trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 -85%)Alondra |
3/1(-85%) | (1) Alondra 3/1, Improved again when beating in-form rivals to land a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f; more to come for the new yard and may complete a hat-trick. Thriving filly who bids for a quickfire C&D hat-trick; open to further progress on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +17%)Lion's House |
10/3(+17%) | (5) Lion's House 10/3, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 5/6f; back in form and remains very well treated on old efforts. Regained the winning thread at Newcastle last time; remains well treated on peak form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +10%)Cressida Wildes |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Cressida Wildes 9/1, Not best placed off a modest pace when beaten 4l off this mark here last time; usually held up. Suited by 5f and just gets an easy 6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark but a bounce back is needed. Finished behind three of today's rivals, albeit not beaten far, over C&D on Friday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -38%)Gogo Yubari |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Gogo Yubari 9/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Chelmsford in January; ran to form when fourth, beaten 3l off 71 last time off the same mark. Top course trainer; consistent but the handicapper may have caught up and she has a bit to find with re-opposing rivals. Seems unlikely to reverse Friday placings with Alondra and El Bufalo who are in top form. |

Alondra was in receipt of 4lb from EL BUFALO when she completed the second leg of a C&D brace on Friday, but she has a double penalty to carry this time and the runner-up can reverse the form on the revised terms. Lion's House has also been in good form of late and he steps back up in class with a realistic chance of being a key player in what could turn out to be a tactical affair.

Four of the runners met in a C&D contest on Friday. From a different line of form, LION'S HOUSE has plausible claims.

C&D record features a success in December and creditable second last time; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +46%)Instant Bond |
7/2(+46%) | (5) Instant Bond 7/2, Unusually below par when beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; probably effective at 5-7f; largely consistent and on a competitive mark. Maiden; placed four times at Newcastle this winter; capable of being involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +50%)Nammos |
7/2(+50%) | (6) Nammos 7/2, Below par back from a short break when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; visor first time; both wins on AW; well treated on old form, but slow starts are an issue and she is in poor form. Possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear; second start for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -150%)Oldbury Lad |
10/1(-150%) | (8) Oldbury Lad 10/1, Improved on recent form down in class when winning a classified race here by a nose last time; may have a bit more to offer now he has had his head in front, but his mark demands further progress. May remain competitive, provided the form of his C&D classified win is confirmed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 +25%)Faster Bee |
12/1(+25%) | (10) Faster Bee 12/1, Ran to form down in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 8/9f; in moderate form. Appears to be in form but remains a longstanding maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -87%)Haziym |
14/1(-87%) | (2) Haziym 14/1, Did too much early after completely missing the break when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective at 6f; regressive since moving from France. 0-21 in Britain and lacks consistency but has a good chance on penultimate effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +27%)So Chic |
16/1(+27%) | (4) So Chic 16/1, Had every chance but was a bit below form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 7/8f; in moderate form since returning from a break. Couple of below-par efforts this winter leave a question mark over current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -56%)Prince Ali |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Prince Ali 25/1, Far too free and made too much use of when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 10-12f; mark continues to ease but with good reason. Raced mainly at further; returns to 7f for first time in five years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -150%)Blueandtangerine |
50/1(-150%) | (9) Blueandtangerine 50/1, Far too free and lit up by a first-time visor when beaten 6l in a classified race here last time; effective around 7f; falling in the weights but with good reason and needs more. Poor efforts this winter, taking AW record to 0-5. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -355%)Musaytir |
150/1(-355%) | (11) Musaytir 150/1, Never threatened and was well beaten in a handicap here last time; effective at 6/7f on AW; yet to show much since returning. Largely unconvincing form since recording sole win. |

Rambuso Creek is too well handicapped to totally ignore and he could offer some each-way value if he steps forward from an improved Southwell effort. However, a chance is taken on INSTANT BOND, who has been the subject of good support on a couple of occasions this winter. He still has more to offer over this trip and could be a surprise package on his first run here. Bad Habits and Oldbury Lad are more obvious ones to monitor in the betting.

The most solid option is BAD HABITS who, accordingly, is taken to double his tally. Nammos is second pick.

11/10(+27%) | (2) Perola 11/10, Green early but ran roughly to form when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l, in a novice at Brighton latest; returning from a break and looks a threat. May confirm debut promise (neck second at Kempton) returned to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 -67%)Lovethiswayagain |
10/3(-67%) | (5) Lovethiswayagain 10/3, Every chance and looked to run to form when second, beaten 5l, in a maiden here latest; effective at 6/7f and acts on AW; consistent and the one to beat on form. Runner-up twice since switched to AW; leading player at the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 -17%)Arishka's Dream |
7/2(-17%) | (3) Arishka's Dream 7/2, Settled better off a mainly fast pace and ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l into third in a maiden here on his most recent run; probably best at 5f but gets 6f; acts on AW; more to come if he will settle. Made the frame at Wolverhampton in last three outings; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +58%)Cotai Eye Joe |
15/2(+58%) | (1) Cotai Eye Joe 15/2, £26,000 Cotai Glory gelding; half-brother to Recency Bias, useful at 7f; market usually a good guide with this stable. £26,000 yearling; by Cotai Glory; one of two newcomers in the field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -56%)Lordsbridge Bay |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Lordsbridge Bay 14/1, 15,000gns Showcasing gelding; half-brother to Lordsbridge Blu, very useful at 9f; another half brother won multiple times at this venue; dam smart at 7f; tough enough task on debut. 15,000gns yearling; siblings include an AW winner for his connections. |

With her yard in good form, LOVETHISWAYAGAIN is hard to ignore. After filling the runner-up slot behind a couple of useful types on her last two starts, the daughter of No Nay Never wouldn't need much of a step forward to go one better. Arishka's Dream is rated just 2lb inferior to the selection, but the terms of this maiden leave her with a stiff task ahead. Therefore, the unexposed Perola, a half-brother to a couple of all-weather winners, could be a bigger danger with Donagh Murphy claiming 7lb.

Another silver medal may await Lovethiswayagain, with twice-raced PEROLA open to progress back on AW.

Effective at 5/6f; back in form and remains on a competitive mark. Remains attractively treated, bearing in mind his peak mark was two stone higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Papa Cocktail |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Papa Cocktail 4/1, Improved on recent form when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Suited by 6f and generally consistent, but this revised mark demands more. Largely sound form this winter features wins over C&D in October and latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +33%)Water Of Leith |
5/1(+33%) | (8) Water Of Leith 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 5/6f; his mark is easing and he is in fair form, though his run style requires luck. Currently in a consistent vein of form; receives plenty of weight all round. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Effective at 6f; remains well treated on old form but has been unreliable of late. Won at Lingfield last time; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +43%)Moonstone Boy |
8/1(+43%) | (5) Moonstone Boy 8/1, Had every chance and ran to current form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; wide draw. Suited by 5f, but attitude remains a concern despite a slipping mark. Possibilities if proving as effective back up in trip; second start for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +50%)Ararat |
9/1(+50%) | (6) Ararat 9/1, Made too much use of when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; enjoys making it. Effective at 6/7f and back on his last winning mark, but a bounce back is needed. Form has regressed since completing a Southwell double in the autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +0%)Lequinto |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Lequinto 12/1, Didn't stay when beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time, having been in good form prior. Represents a top course trainer and, though inconsistent recently, could bounce back down in trip. Back up in grade and still hasn't won on AW since 2021. |

HIERARCHY's latest start proved he retains the ability to swoop and conquer in a race of this nature and a 3lb rise for his Lingfield win is manageable. Silky Wilkie set a scorching pace in that race and the revised terms give him a feasible chance of holding on to better than that fourth-placed finish. Papa Cocktail, who had the measure of his nearest rival Water Of Leith when he won over C&D last month, is another to seriously consider, despite a 5lb rise.

Having nearly won a valuable contest at Lingfield when last seen on AW, THE FLYING SEAGULL (nap) is particularly interesting.

(3) (11/10 -21%)Beauzon |
11/10(-21%) | (3) Beauzon 11/10, Did it readily under an aggressive ride when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 5/6f. Thriving of late, still on a fair mark and could continue the winning sequence. Registered two comfortable wins early last week to completed a four-timer; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 -9%)He's An Angel |
3/1(-9%) | (5) He's An Angel 3/1, Back to best and did well to win up in trip when landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; usually held up; effective at 5/6f and acts on AW. Chance despite the penalty. Got up in the final strides over C&D last time; remains attractively treated; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (3/1 +60%)Ardaddy |
3/1(+60%) | (7) Ardaddy 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective at 6/7f and acts on AW. Running back into form. Placed at Newcastle the last twice; sold out of Grant Tuer's yard for 8,000gns since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +9%)Sioux Warrior |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Sioux Warrior 10/1, Continued in moderate form when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; wide draw; effective at 5/6f. Needs to bounce back. Placed twice over C&D in October; now 5lb lower and Taryn Langley takes off a bonus 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 -22%)Dark Sun |
22/1(-22%) | (4) Dark Sun 22/1, Never threatened after missing the break when beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 7f. A maiden but had been running into form until that latest effort. Always towards the rear in the Lingfield event won by Beauzon last Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 +0%)Havana Club |
22/1(+0%) | (8) Havana Club 22/1, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark here in December; suited by 7/8f. Bounce back needed. Ideally needs a drop back down the weights; both wins off 4lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 -65%)Sonic Si |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Sonic Si 33/1, Poor run when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; effective at 5f. Form has tailed off since going handicapping and needs to show more. Maiden who seemed to need the run when 25-1 for C&D contest on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -100%)On Key |
40/1(-100%) | (2) On Key 40/1, No obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap here most recently; off a short break; suited by 6f. Has a bit to prove from a tough mark. Maiden who failed to beat a rival when 40-1 for C&D event in sole run for new yard. |

BEAUZON has been in unstoppable form of late and it would be dangerous to assume an 8lb penalty is enough to prevent him from completing a five-timer. Considering that Ryan Kavanagh reduces the burden to 3lb with his claim, connections have given the seven-year-old every chance of extending the winning sequence. Last-time-out C&D winner He's An Angel is still well handicapped, despite going up 3lb, and is very capable of spoiling the party for the selection. Ardaddy and Sioux Warrior can also go close.

Beauzon is greatly respected in his bid for a five-timer but HE'S AN ANGEL is a strong alternative.

(6) (2/1 +33%)Three On Thursday |
2/1(+33%) | (6) Three On Thursday 2/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Lingfield in December; rallied gamely up in trip and ran to form when fifth beaten 4 1/4l off 59 last time and runs off the same mark; top course trainer and a consistent sort. Versatile and consistent; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +33%)Renesmee |
10/3(+33%) | (1) Renesmee 10/3, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective over 8-10f and acts on AW; a bounce back is needed. Interesting with Kyle McHugh back on board, being 3-3 under this rider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +5%)Magic Runner |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Magic Runner 10/3, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark here three starts ago; was a bit free but ran to form when fifth beaten 2l off 61 last time and runs off the same mark; trainer in form and remains competitive. Remains in form and looks a likely player if coping with drop back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -150%)Dandy Khan |
15/2(-150%) | (2) Dandy Khan 15/2, Scored by a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield in January; effective over 7/8f and acts well on AW; capable of going well again off this mark. Largely in good form for current yard; solid contender back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +0%)Samra Star |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Samra Star 8/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective over 7-9f and suited by AW; not in the best form but her mark is dropping. Not sure to back up latest effort; inconsistent this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -50%)Pink Socks |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Pink Socks 9/1, Never competitive off a steady pace in a race dominated from the front when finishing down the field in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective over 7-10f; her mark may be stiff. Has regressed in handicaps since completing a classified hat-trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -213%)Celebrating Ethel |
50/1(-213%) | (7) Celebrating Ethel 50/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 8l in a classified race at Chelmsford last time; top course trainer; her form has tailed off since a summer win. 0-17 on AW and has poor claims on 2026 form. |

Taryn Langley was on board when MAGIC RUNNER struck over slightly further here last month and Ruth Carr's filly has acquitted herself well in defeat twice since. She was only beaten two lengths off this mark most recently so still seems feasibly treated with the 5lb claimer retained. Dandy Khan arrives in decent form but she has stamina to prove. Therefore, Three On Thursday, who has gone off favourite on her last couple of outings, is put forward as the primary threat.

Topweight RENESMEE wouldn't be the pick on recent form but she may prove resurgent with Kyle McHugh back on board.

5/2(-25%) | (4) Little Miss India 5/2, Returned to form up in trip when just out-battled late by a strong stayer, beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Usually held up and suited by 10-12f; in form. Broadly sound form since wearing a hood; close second at Lingfield last time. |

(7) (10/3 +17%)Hackney Diamonds |
10/3(+17%) | (7) Hackney Diamonds 10/3, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; ran to form when third, beaten 4 1/4l off 63 last time, same mark here. Effective over 7-12f and acts on AW; in form and recent runs have been boosted; remains well treated on old efforts. Successful twice this winter; last two efforts show she remains in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +9%)Solanna |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Solanna 5/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time; trainer in form and off a short break. Consistent over middle distances on the Flat, where a multiple winner; stamina to prove for hurdling; in good form in this sphere in the autumn so not ruled out. Consistent sort who has reasonably solid claims back under this code. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -9%)Zenato |
6/1(-9%) | (6) Zenato 6/1, Ran to form, just tiring late on ground softer than ideal having done plenty early, when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time. In good form prior and off a short break; well treated on hurdles form; interesting. Won his last Flat attempt but that was on turf in autumn 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 0%)Brodie's Boy |
10/1(0%) | (5) Brodie's Boy 10/1, Set it up for closers when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; top course trainer. Effective over 10-12f and best on AW; mark continues to tumble and unreliable. Beaten under 1l in last two C&D attempts; on an attractive mark back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 +9%)Annandale |
10/1(+9%) | (8) Annandale 10/1, Below form back down in trip when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior. Effective over 10-14f and acts on AW; mark falling and had been running into form until latest. Best to forgive latest effort; 7lb below last winning mark; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -9%)It's A Love Thing |
12/1(-9%) | (3) It's A Love Thing 12/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective over 8-12f. A bounce back is needed. Made the frame twice in November; form has dipped since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -186%)Saviour |
40/1(-186%) | (2) Saviour 40/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time; form went the wrong way when lsat seen in this sphere; needs to improve. Returns to Flat for first time since 2024; still a maiden. |

Hackney Diamonds has made the frame twice since a Southwell triumph last month and should be in the thick of the action again. Little Miss India took a big step back in the right direction when touched off at Lingfield, but this can go the way of ZENATO. The Fergal O'Brien-trained five-year-old registered a double over hurdles back in the autumn and can capitalise on what could be a lenient rating back in this sphere.

Being well treated on his C&D efforts in the autumn, BRODIE'S BOY may record a first handicap win. Hackney Diamonds is second pick.

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.
