|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (1/7 -29%)Mondo Man |
1/7(-29%) | (3) Mondo Man 1/7, Too keen and poorly placed off a steady pace, he was never competitive due to a series of errors when fourth, beaten 9l, in the Festive Handicap Hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good. This should be the day he gets off the mark over hurdles. Has shown some very useful form over hurdles and he's difficult to oppose.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 -14%)Lady Iris |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Lady Iris 16/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Angers only start; likely to need more time and handicaps but has joined a good yard. Beaten 43l on hurdle debut in France and probably best watched on British/stable debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (100/1 -52%)My Lovely Horse |
100/1(-52%) | (7) My Lovely Horse 100/1, Didn't stay up in trip when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield latest; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; shown little under rules so far. Pulled up and well beaten on all three runs over hurdles, all at three-digit odds.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +33%)Thistle Be The One |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Thistle Be The One 4/1, Stopped quickly and was pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and is off a short break. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good, but looks vulnerable back in a maiden. Initial efforts over hurdles read very well but he's been disappointing since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (100/1 -52%)Major Major |
100/1(-52%) | (2) Major Major 100/1, Made mistakes and was outclassed when well beaten in the Introductory Hurdle at Newbury last time. Off a short break and although in good form on the Flat in the autumn, he has plenty to prove over hurdles. Three-time Flat winner who has been well held on both starts over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (100/1 +0%)Somkiyr |
100/1(+0%) | (4) Somkiyr 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time and has since undergone a wind operation. Looks the type to do better once handicapping. He's struggled over hurdles; has had wind surgery since pulling up at Lingfield latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (125/1 -25%)Hialeah |
125/1(-25%) | (1) Hialeah 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here last time. Regressive on the Flat and still has everything to prove over hurdles, so he is hard to fancy in this company. Modest Flat maiden who has shown little in two starts over hurdles.. |

This ought to be a gilt-edged opportunity for MONDO MAN, who, despite continuing to race freely over hurdles, has shown a great deal more than each of these rivals and won't need to be at his very best. Thistle Be The One holds an official rating of 105 and has work to do, so it will be interesting to see how French recruit Lady Iris fares in the betting.

With some useful form behind him, it's impossible to oppose MONDO MAN now in maiden company.

1st (4) (5/1 -50%)Blakey Boy |
5/1(-50%) | (4) Blakey Boy 5/1, Held when mistake last, ran to form when second beaten 8l in a handicap chase at Kelso latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on GS and G; workable mark and open to improvement still as a chaser. Runner-up over fences on last two starts and this 6yo could have more to offer; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +45%)Rob Roy Macgregor |
3/1(+45%) | (5) Rob Roy Macgregor 3/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l, in a handicap chase at Carlisle latest. Trainer in form, effective at 3m and acts with cut, running into form this term but the maiden tag is becoming frustrating. 0-15 since winning on debut in March 2023 but arrives in good heart and could be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/2 -11%)Orkney Blue |
5/2(-11%) | (1) Orkney Blue 5/2, Did it comfortably, improving up in trip landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by plenty of cut; progressing over fences. Beat 13 rivals to win at Carlisle and this lightly raced 8yo is a strong candidate up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (13/2 -44%)Sunset Hill |
13/2(-44%) | (2) Sunset Hill 13/2, Unseated mid-race when tried in cheekpieces in a handicap chase at Carlisle latest. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground, but remains a maiden and is still high enough in the weights. Stamina to prove but signs of promise at Carlisle last time and she's not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (10/3 +5%)Visual Impact |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Visual Impact 10/3, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap chase here latest. Off a short break, effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts with cut, but a bounce back is needed. Promising third on stable/chase debut here in November but two lesser runs have followed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (20/1 +29%)Whispering Dancer |
20/1(+29%) | (6) Whispering Dancer 20/1, Never jumped or travelled when pulled up in a handicap chase at Carlisle latest. Effective from 2m5f to 3m on soft ground, but major improvement is needed. Not devoid of promise over C&D last month but two lesser runs have followed elsewhere. |

Having been held up in his first two chasing attempts, ORKNEY BLUE was the beneficiary of a more positive ride at Carlisle last time. Nick Alexander's charge is 6lb higher now but remains open to further improvement and he receives a confident vote. Blakey Boy has been knocking on the door of late and is the main threat, ahead of Rob Roy Macgregor.

The unexposed 8yo ORKNEY BLUE (nap) got off the mark in a big field at Carlisle recently on his second chase start and can follow up.

1st (3) (9/4 +59%)Kool Kid |
9/4(+59%) | (3) Kool Kid 9/4, Made too much use of and may have found the ground too soft when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; generally consistent until latest. Bumper winner but he's 0-5 over hurdles and was disappointing at Fontwell last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (15/2 -50%)Frank Stamper |
15/2(-50%) | (7) Frank Stamper 15/2, Made mistakes, was a bit keen and outpaced, and was poorly placed off a steady pace when beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on good to soft and good; needs to settle better. Mixed results in three hurdle runs and was last of seven on handicap debut over C&D latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/8 +19%)Kalkaroo |
13/8(+19%) | (5) Kalkaroo 13/8, Did well to get up after a shuddering late error, returning to form when landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective at 2m-2m2f, acts on good to soft and good; remains well treated on maiden form. Back to form with a game win at Market Rasen and a 3lb rise looks fair enough; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 +6%)Blue Sky Dreaming |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Blue Sky Dreaming 15/2, Below form up in trip when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield latest; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good; should have more to offer over hurdles in handicaps. Unexposed 5yo but he was pulled up on handicap debut at Lingield (2m3f, soft) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 -54%)Reteti |
10/1(-54%) | (4) Reteti 10/1, Below form after a bad error when fourth, beaten 32l, in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective at 2m on soft and good to soft; type to do better now handicapping. Close second in C&D novice in December but he struggled here latest and record is now 0-12. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 -220%)Dissident |
16/1(-220%) | (6) Dissident 16/1, Too keen and below form in a better race when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good; needs a drop in class. Won at Doncaster on penultimate run and he needs a close look on handicap hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (16/1 -60%)Dr Waksman |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Dr Waksman 16/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective at 2m on soft; may do better now handicapping. 0-14 under both codes and he needs improvement on handicap hurdle debut. |

It looks best to stick with KALKAROO, who made it third time lucky in handicaps at Market Rasen earlier this month. The son of Australia should relish the likely ground conditions and can fend off the likes of Dissident and Frank Stamper, who enter handicaps for the first time. Dr Waksman was fairly solid on the level and his best run over did come over C&D.

Most of these have something to prove but KALKAROO won at Market Rasen last time and is a big player again off only 3lb higher.

1st (3) (9/2 +18%)Stride On |
9/2(+18%) | (3) Stride On 9/2, Found little, disappointing up in trip when fourth beaten 36l in a maiden hurdle at Carlisle latest; off a short-break; effective around 2m, acts on S and GS; stamina to prove. Promising second on hurdle debut here and had excuse at Carlisle latest; retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +21%)Irish Champ |
11/4(+21%) | (2) Irish Champ 11/4, Outpaced, ran to form but unsuited by drop in trip 13l third in a novice hurdle here most recent run; trainer in form; effective 2m4f on S and GY; point winner should be scoring soon over hurdles. 3m point winner who kept on for third over 2m here last time; respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/4 +45%)The G Wizard |
6/4(+45%) | (4) The G Wizard 6/4, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l, in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh on his latest start. Effective around 2m4f on S and GS, a consistent type who can go well again. Runner-up on last three starts, most recently h'cap debut; can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 +18%)Crackling Fire |
9/2(+18%) | (1) Crackling Fire 9/2, Confirmed debut level when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time. Off a short break and effective around 2m4f on GS, he has improvement to come. Promising 4th on debut in November; disappointing since but leading claims on initial run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (12/1 +14%)Union Avenue |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Union Avenue 12/1, Well fancied but found nil and looked in need of the run when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest. Off a short break, effective at 2m and acts with cut. Dual bumper winner who was ninth in the Champion Bumper and can surely leave that poor run behind. Useful in bumpers in 2023-24 season; pulled up on sole run since but not written off. |

Each of these arrive with some kind of chance, but it is STRIDE ON that gets the nod. The Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore inmate chased home a 132-rated rival here in November and had excuses when a beaten favourite at Carlisle the following month. If the break has freshened him up, he ought to go close. Irish Champ and Zamek head the list of dangers.

Having had an excuse at Carlisle last time, STRIDE ON is taken to tap back into the promise shown here in November.

1st (2) (11/2 +31%)Enjoy D'allen |
11/2(+31%) | (2) Enjoy D'allen 11/2, Did too much too soon but ran well for a long way sixth beaten 13l off 115 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 2m4f-3m5f, acts on any; chance if at best. Well held last twice but was an easy winner off only 1lb higher at Fakenham in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (13/8 -79%)Lumi Plugin |
13/8(-79%) | (1) Lumi Plugin 13/8, Travelled, improved for softer ground jumping much better landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on S and G; progressive over fences. Hit clear personal best when winning over C&D latest and he's still unexposed at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 +25%)Morfee |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Morfee 9/2, Unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a handicap chase at Windsor latest; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on S and G; fair mark but unreliable and ground a worry. Triple chase winner but he was pulled up last time and needs to bounce back near best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (5/2 -11%)Georges Saint |
5/2(-11%) | (3) Georges Saint 5/2, Ran to form, again looked a touch awkward beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective around 2m4f-3m, acts on Hy and S; in decent form, mark looks fair. Mudlover who was a creditable third behind Lumi Plugin over C&D last time; respected. |

A step up in trip coupled with a return to slower ground worked the oracle for LUMI PLUGIN last time and he is expected to go in again, especially because Hezekiah March is able to negate the burden of a 5lb rise. Georges Saint finished third to the selection that day but Venetia Williams' string are in better form now. The pair should be closely matched with that in mind, but Enjoy D'allen could be booked for third.

This can go to the Moores' unexposed chaser LUMI PLUGIN, who hit a clear personal best with his comfortable win over C&D last month.

1st (1) (14/1 -115%)Dubai Days |
14/1(-115%) | (1) Dubai Days 14/1, Made mistakes and may not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap chase at Aintree last time; usually held up and off a short break. Effective at 2m4f but does not get 3m and is generally consistent. Return to form needed from 12yo but this is the stage of the season he tends to come good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/4 +10%)Tommy Combats |
9/4(+10%) | (6) Tommy Combats 9/4, Did it comfortably when improved and suited by a strong pace down in trip, landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft, and is progressive. Won in good style here last month and this progressive 7yo may take 6lb rise in his stride. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -33%)Big John Wayne |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Big John Wayne 4/1, Outpaced and in need of the run when unsuited by the drop in trip, but still ran to form on chase debut here last time. Was in good form prior, effective at 2m4f-3m, and should come on for that back up in trip. Interesting contender now back up in trip on handicap debut and second chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (40/1 -186%)One Mill Harbour |
40/1(-186%) | (4) One Mill Harbour 40/1, Far too free up in trip and did not stay when pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and heavy; stamina may again be an issue. The return to fences may help but he has lots to prove regarding current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (40/1 -60%)Don Occhetti |
40/1(-60%) | (7) Don Occhetti 40/1, May have found the ground on the soft side when beaten 16l into third in a handicap chase here on his most recent run. Effective around 2m, acts on soft and good, and is capable of better for his new yard. Took step back in right direction here a fortnight ago but he needs another today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/10 +63%)Jaccours |
11/10(+63%) | (3) Jaccours 11/10, Travelled, strong at finish in getting off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las by 1/2l last time; effective around 2m4f, acts on Hy and GS; more to come now handicapping. Maiden hurdle winner who goes straight over fences for his handicap debut; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (16/1 -146%)Dance Thief |
16/1(-146%) | (5) Dance Thief 16/1, Had every chance but was a bit below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Returning from a break, effective at 2m and acts with cut; generally consistent and an Ayr specialist. On a competitive season's on last season's chase form but that was over 2m. |

Tommy Combats recorded a comfortable success over an extended 2m here last month and is respected given that, but JACCOURS is preferred. Connections waste no time in sending the Gris De Gris gelding over a fence having won his maiden hurdle at Ffos Las recently and that could unlock even greater progress. Veteran Dubai Days has struggled this term, but a drop in class should aid his cause.

The very lightly raced 8yo BIG JOHN WAYNE could be on a good mark now back up in trip in his first handicap and he earns the vote.

1st (4) (10/1 -100%)Sanitiser |
10/1(-100%) | (4) Sanitiser 10/1, Ran to form 5 1/2l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective 2m; not the most resolute but consistent. Flat/hurdles winner who was a fair third in a C&D handicap last month; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 +0%)Known Warrior |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Known Warrior 7/1, Ran to form on chase debut when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m on S and GS; needs more over fences. Made an encouraging start over fences when fourth of six over C&D last month; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/2 -115%)Kitsilano |
7/2(-115%) | (5) Kitsilano 7/2, Did it cosily and improved after wind op back on testing ground landing a handicap by 8l off a 7lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on Hy and GS; back in form for new yard and can again go well. Improved form after wind surgery with emphatic 2m win in the mud at Leicester; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/5 +54%)Alto Alto |
4/5(+54%) | (1) Alto Alto 4/5, Back below last winning mark and returned to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective at around 2m, acts on S and G; inconsistent, saves best for this venue, good chance. All four wins have been at Plumpton and he was a close second over C&D latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8/1 +43%)Godot |
8/1(+43%) | (2) Godot 8/1, Never travelled when pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m4f, suited by plenty of cut; form in and out this term and now back chasing. On a dangerous mark but he's been pulled up in two of his last three runs; risks attached. |

Kitsilano gained a first success over fences at Leicester earlier in the month but more will be required after a 7lb rise from the handicapper. With that in mind, the vote goes to ALTO ALTO. The nine-year-old bounced back to form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and is likely to go one better in what appears to be a winnable contest. Sanitiser completes the shortlist.

Top of the list is KITSILANO, who raised his game after wind surgery when surging clear to beat seven rivals at Leicester 11 days ago.

1st (2) (4/11 +60%)Next Twist |
4/11(+60%) | (2) Next Twist 4/11, Travelled well and improved again when just worn down late by a rival receiving weight, beaten 2l in a novice hurdle here latest; effective at 2m, acts with cut; progressive and has a good chance in this. Won at Southwell then runner-up here, and he holds strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (28/1 -56%)Linalene |
28/1(-56%) | (3) Linalene 28/1, Below form and a late error did not help when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kelso latest; off a short break; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; a bounce back is needed. Has shown ability but work to do to threaten the two previous winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/4 -105%)Green Hope |
9/4(-105%) | (1) Green Hope 9/4, Improved to get off the mark when causing a big shock in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal, winning by 1/4l last time; effective at 2m1f on yielding to soft; almost certainly has more to offer. Sprung 125-1 shock at Down Royal last month and leading claims if confirming that promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (100/1 -150%)Ms Cindy Kate |
100/1(-150%) | (5) Ms Cindy Kate 100/1, Struggled to get involved and was below her debut level when well beaten in an Amateurs' bumper at Perth latest; effective at 2m on good ground; more is needed to win. Didn't show enough in bumpers to suggest she'll be making an impact today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (100/1 -25%)Luckie Devil |
100/1(-25%) | (4) Luckie Devil 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; plenty to prove. Runner-up in bumper on debut but pulled up at big odds on both hurdle starts. |

The Irish challenger GREEN HOPE failed to complete over 2m4f on hurdles debut but showed his true colours at Down Royal last month. Dropped in trip, the five-year-old found plenty in the closing stages to open his account over timber and further improvement looks on the cards. The convincing winner of a maiden hurdle at Southwell, Next Twist found one too good in testing conditions here last time. He looks the main danger with Linalene perhaps best of the remainder back on soft ground.

Having won at Southwell in November NEXT TWIST was a clear second under a penalty here last time and is taken to return to winning ways.

1st (6) (7/4 +13%)Junior Des Mottes |
7/4(+13%) | (6) Junior Des Mottes 7/4, Improved and was suited by a positive ride at a sharp track when landing a handicap by 6l off a 7lb lower mark at Fakenham last time. Effective at 3m on soft and good; may have more to offer for his new yard. Has to defy a 7lb higher mark but he's open to further progress and boasts strong claims.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/2 +21%)Glengolly |
11/2(+21%) | (2) Glengolly 11/2, Didn't travel and may have found the ground too testing when fifth, beaten 97l off 89 last time; runs off the same mark here. Effective over 2m4f-2m7f and acts on soft and good to soft; back in form after wind op until latest. Can be forgiven latest run when the ground went against him; player on previous efforts.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/1 -8%)Ami Bondhu |
7/1(-8%) | (1) Ami Bondhu 7/1, Had too much to do when ridden to see out the trip and was beaten 11l into third in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective over 2m-3m and acts on soft and good to soft; inconsistent but unexposed as a stayer. Best run of the season over C&D two weeks ago on first try at this far; contender.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (12/1 +25%)The Last Drop |
12/1(+25%) | (7) The Last Drop 12/1, Travelled well but found little having briefly threatened when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good to soft; inconsistent but capable. Form has slumped since an encouraging return and step up in trip needs to spark a revival.. |

5th (3) (6/1 -100%)Minella Kaiser |
6/1(-100%) | (3) Minella Kaiser 6/1, Ran to form but was unable to reel in the all-the-way winner when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective over 3m-3m2f on good to soft and good; back hurdling but in form and more to come for a good yard. Not yet fully exposed and reverts to hurdles off what may prove to be a workable mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/2 +50%)Court One |
7/2(+50%) | (9) Court One 7/2, Ran to form when 31l third in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time. Usually held up; effective at 2m4f and acts on good to soft; improved since going handicapping off a basement mark. Six-race maiden who likely needs more for that first success from out of the weights.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -25%)Engaging Sam |
50/1(-25%) | (8) Engaging Sam 50/1, Didn't get home and put up another poor effort when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time. Returns from a short break; effective over 2m-2m6f and acts on soft and good; exposed maiden. Tailed off on two hurdle starts late last year and now goes up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (18/1 -29%)Amalfi Skyline |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Amalfi Skyline 18/1, Back to form on his return to hurdles when second, beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Absent for a very lengthy period; effective over 2m4f-3m1f and acts on soft and good; can again go well. Makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (66/1 -267%)Smith |
66/1(-267%) | (5) Smith 66/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2m on good to soft; has a bit to prove back hurdling, not least in terms of stamina. Eight Flat wins but yet to make an impact over hurdles and others make more appeal.. |

Having pulled up on heavy ground at Ffos Las, JUNIOR DES MOTTES got off the mark in fine style at Fakenham on his latest start and a replication of that display would make him tough to oppose. Minella Kaiser returns to hurdles after finishing second here over fences last time and is capable of being in the mix along with Ami Bondhu.

It's difficult to see past JUNIOR DES MOTTES (nap) after his Fakenham win. Glengolly is feared most back on better ground.

1st (3) (10/1 +0%)Eloi Du Puy |
10/1(+0%) | (3) Eloi Du Puy 10/1, Bit keen, outpaced, ran to form down in trip under positive ride in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle here latest; best at around 2m4f, acts with cut; back in form over hurdles. Third in this last year and 6l second over C&D last month; could be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 +21%)The Jeweller's Pet |
11/2(+21%) | (10) The Jeweller's Pet 11/2, Won this race last year and ran to form but had too much to do after a series of errors when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m4f on heavy and good. Could build on his return to hurdles. Last year's winner who returned to form when third over C&D a fortnight ago; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +27%)Jericoacoara |
8/1(+27%) | (2) Jericoacoara 8/1, Ran to current form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Returning from a break, he is effective at 2m and acts with cut but has been inconsistent for his new yard. Ran okay last time and drops in grade today off a reduced mark; could have a part to play. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/1 -18%)Nellie Bluesky |
10/1(-18%) | (8) Nellie Bluesky 10/1, Had too much to do but just failed when beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time, returning to form up in trip. Suited by 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. May get a bit further. Back on track with close second of six at Sedgefield and she could be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 -75%)Mountain Molly |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Mountain Molly 14/1, Likely to finish second when falling late in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2m4f on heavy and good ground and is on a competitive mark back over hurdles. Went close on last hurdle start & hasn't taken to fences subsequently; returns to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/1 +36%)El Jefe |
9/1(+36%) | (7) El Jefe 9/1, Ran to form up in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Kelso last time. Usually held up and effective from 2m-2m7f, acting with plenty of cut. He can go well again. Running well in defeat in the main this season and can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/4 +18%)Diamond Geezer |
9/4(+18%) | (1) Diamond Geezer 9/4, Did it comfortably, improved back down in trip landing a handicap by 6l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on S and GS; progressive, recent form strong, can go well again. Won with something to spare over C&D last month and holds strong claims up 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (25/1 -108%)Balking |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Balking 25/1, Suited by the drop in trip and improved after a wind operation despite not getting the best of runs when beaten 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Returning from a long layoff and now 5lb higher, with more to come. Runner-up on h'cap debut last January; absent since but bang there if at top of his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (9/2 -29%)Lights Go Down |
9/2(-29%) | (11) Lights Go Down 9/2, Improved when second, beaten 1/2l, in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby last time. Off a short break and effective around 2m, acting on soft and good to soft. Plenty more to come. Has potential off opening mark in view of juvenile hurdle form; tackles a new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (66/1 -164%)Go Frankie |
66/1(-164%) | (9) Go Frankie 66/1, Again ran to a moderate level back hurdling, possibly needing the run when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Effective at 3m in points but needs more. He's achieved very little under rules but has won a point; watch the market on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (100/1 -525%)The Navigator |
100/1(-525%) | (5) The Navigator 100/1, Found nil and was well below form in his hat-trick bid when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent. In good form prior and returning from a break. Effective over 2m-2m4f on soft and good but a bounce back is needed. 11yo who won three times last August-October but tailed off in November when last seen. |

THE JEWELLER'S PET won this off a similar mark last year and signalled a return to form back over C&D last time. Not beaten far in third on that occasion, a bold bid is anticipated from Ian Duncan's charge with the underfoot conditions also in his favour. The Navigator landed a double on faster going at Kelso last autumn, but Diamond Geezer may prove a bigger threat fresh from a convincing success under Sean Bowen here last time.

The 4yo LIGHTS GO DOWN looks to be on a good mark for his handicap debut and gets the nod ahead of The Jeweller's Pet.

1st (5) (7/2 +81%)Rap Soul |
7/2(+81%) | (5) Rap Soul 7/2, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Newbury most recently; off a short break. Effective over 3m in points and a longer trip may suit now handicapping. Needs to find considerable improvement for the switch to fences on handicap debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +0%)Koenigsstern |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Koenigsstern 4/1, Still in with a chance when falling in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on good ground but is best with cut. Holds a chance if bouncing back from that fall. Running a big race before falling latest and likely to play a role if none the worse.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 +33%)Le Galli Bier |
5/1(+33%) | (3) Le Galli Bier 5/1, Unseated when staying on in a handicap chase at Leicester last time; cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground; running into form this term. Comes back in trip and worth considering, especially if the cheekpieces prove a positive.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/4 +0%)Getaway King |
6/4(+0%) | (4) Getaway King 6/4, Improved again when landing a handicap by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; off a short break. Effective over 2m4f-2m6f and acts on good to soft and good; up 4lb and could land a four-timer. Likely to be on slower ground today but this thriving 8yo is still the one to beat.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (13/2 -86%)Ostrava Du Berlais |
13/2(-86%) | (2) Ostrava Du Berlais 13/2, Found the ground too soft and was well beaten in a handicap chase at Windsor last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and ideally wants a sound surface. The handicapper is relenting but she has been below par of late. Will appreciate this ease in class and she's capable of making her presence felt.. |

GETAWAY KING has won all three starts since joining Fergal O'Brien's yard and fitted with a tongue-tie. The cosy winner at Lingfield in December, a 4lb rise may not be enough halt his good progress and the eight-year-old looks worth sticking with. Koenigsstern was in the process of running a big race when coming a cropper at Lingfield last time and is not out of this, while Le Galli Bier looks on a fair mark if the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect.

Ostrava Du Berlais will find this easier but GETAWAY KING has thrived since joining this stable and looks the one to beat.

2nd (10) (20/1 -11%)Classy Clarets |
20/1(-11%) | (10) Classy Clarets 20/1, Below form with a slow start not helping beaten 4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective 5-7f, suited by AW; has lost form. Not found best form for new yard, including in a 0-50 at Newcastle on Thursday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 +35%)Twilight Madness |
13/2(+35%) | (2) Twilight Madness 13/2, Bit keen, not at best ninth beaten 4 1/2l off 65 last time, 1lb lower here; enjoys making it; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; bounce back needed. C&D win in December came off 1lb lower; not in quite the same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/4 +42%)Albert Cee |
7/4(+42%) | (3) Albert Cee 7/4, Ran to form second beaten 2 1/2l off 62 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f, acts on GS and AW; wind op appears to have worked, remains well treated on old form. Revived by wind surgery this winter; runs off same mark as when 2nd over C&D 17 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 -57%)Midnight Call |
11/1(-57%) | (8) Midnight Call 11/1, Ran to form when winning a classified race here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; in good form, chance back in a handicap. Four course wins this winter; up in the weights but improving and may do better yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -229%)Neptune Legend |
28/1(-229%) | (9) Neptune Legend 28/1, No-show from off the pace eighth beaten 5 1/2l off 57 last time, 2lb lower here; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 5-7f, acts on G, F and AW; easing in weights but needs more. C&D win in November off 2lb higher; quiet lately but at 5f and in higher grade; can revive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 -56%)Trust Sergei |
25/1(-56%) | (7) Trust Sergei 25/1, Bit keen and may have needed run beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; suited by 5/6f on sound surface; erratic. Two sprint wins last spring, including here (5f); still low mileage; betting useful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (8/1 -60%)Woodhay Whisper |
8/1(-60%) | (1) Woodhay Whisper 8/1, Best effort so far in handicaps landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; chance under penalty. C&D win last week in a modest Class 5; down in grade but penalty/wide draw to deal with. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (6/1 +8%)Invincible Melody |
6/1(+8%) | (5) Invincible Melody 6/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; maiden needs to bounce back. Usually reliable but below par at Chelmsford on Saturday; remains a maiden after 20 starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (5/1 +44%)Running Cool |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Running Cool 5/1, Ran to form back from a break beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Down in weights and returned to form on stable debut last September; well treated; claims. |

A wide draw coupled with a 5lb penalty could scupper the chances of Woodhay Whisper and although that won't be the case for hat-trick seeker Midnight Call, more is required back in a handicap. Both merit respect nonetheless, as does Running Cool, but ALBERT CEE is preferred. The son of Aclaim found only a subsequent winner too strong over C&D last time out and makes considerable appeal from an unchanged mark.

Bint Havana Gold should fare better back at 6f but RUNNING COOL returns from a break off an appealing mark.

1st (3) (13/8 +19%)Jardin De Tunis |
13/8(+19%) | (3) Jardin De Tunis 13/8, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden point at Knockmullen House by a length last time. Returning from a break, was effective at 3m in points and brings plenty of potential to rules racing. Bought for £220,000 after winning a point; could play a leading role on bumper debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (13/8 +19%)Lirion |
13/8(+19%) | (5) Lirion 13/8, Promising debut runner-up when beaten 11l in a bumper at Huntingdon on his only start. Returning from a long layoff, was effective at 2m on good to soft; that debut came behind a smart hurdler and improvement is likely. Bumped into classy sort when 11l second last March on sole start; firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/2 +38%)Kingsman Mail |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Kingsman Mail 5/2, Confirmed his debut level when beaten 18l into third in a bumper here on his most recent run. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and soft; should run well again. Placed over C&D on first two starts and he's in with a leading shout today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (28/1 0%)C'mon So |
28/1(0%) | (2) C'mon So 28/1, Outpaced and comfortably held on a modest debut in an Amateurs' bumper at Southwell last time. Off a short break and looks one for further down the line, with hurdling likely to be more suitable. Showed ability in a point but well beaten at 28-1 in his sole bumper. |

Kilaro won a bumper at Musselburgh prior to disappointing at Newcastle last time and a hood is applied for this. Kingsman Mail failed to build on his promising second here when well beaten on his return to the track, so a chance is taken on JARDIN DE TUNIS. Related to jumps winners in France, the Irish point-to-point winner debuts for the Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's yard and may prove good enough on his Rules debut.

Having changed hands for £220,000 after winning a point last November, JARDIN DE TUNIS can make a winning bumper debut.

1st (7) (7/1 -56%)Eliza Dolittle |
7/1(-56%) | (7) Eliza Dolittle 7/1, Returned to form when back down in trip at a favoured venue, beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Off a short break; effective around 2m4f, best on a sound surface and goes well at Plumpton, though her form can be in and out. Solid effort over C&D last time and a repeat of that effort would see her go close.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +33%)Miss Kassiopi |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Miss Kassiopi 4/1, Took a step back in the right direction when tried in a tongue-tie, finishing second beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Windsor latest. Off a short break; effective at 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good. Chance if building on that run. Returned to form when second at Windsor last time and has claims if repeating that effort.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +63%)Mild Magic |
9/2(+63%) | (6) Mild Magic 9/2, Outpaced and below form but did see out the longer trip when fourth, beaten 36l, in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield latest. The type to do better in handicaps, though her mark demands improvement. Still early days and may do better in time but has enough to prove for now.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 -114%)A Tickatickatiming |
15/2(-114%) | (2) A Tickatickatiming 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good, and a consistent hurdler. Merits respect now back up in trip after getting collared late over 2m here last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (2/1 +20%)Kilworth |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Kilworth 2/1, Did it cosily and improved for the step up in trip on handicap debut when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Taunton last time. Effective around 3m and may have a bit more to offer in handicaps. Big player despite the drop in trip and 3lb rise after last month's handicap debut win.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (11/2 +27%)My Louise |
11/2(+27%) | (4) My Louise 11/2, Was a bit keen but returned to form after a wind op, relishing the step up in trip when beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Newton Abbot last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m5f to 3m2f on good to soft and good, though this drop in trip may not suit. Ran her best race yet over hurdles when third last June but she's been absent since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (33/1 -32%)Little Lady Lucy |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Little Lady Lucy 33/1, Was a no-show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Southwell most recently. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good, but hard to fancy on recent evidence. Should be all the sharper for her comeback run but others hold more obvious claims.. |

Kilworth won over 3m at Taunton recently and drops in trip with a shout raised only 3lb, while A Tickatickatiming went close when runner-up over 2m here a fortnight ago and could also feature. However, ELIZA DOLITTLE is a dual C&D winner and gave notice she will be scoring again soon when finding only one too good here last time. The winner has gone in again subsequently and Nick Gifford's mare gets the vote on the strength of that form.

Eliza Dolittle and A Tickatickatiming are respected but preference is for KILWORTH to follow up last month's success.

11/4(+39%) | (3) Calling A Star 11/4, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a nursery at Kempton latest; wide draw and effective at 6f. Seems consistent and on a fair mark. Runner-up at Kempton (7f) in her final run in the autumn and she's in the mix on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/4 +23%)Lara Antipova |
5/4(+23%) | (5) Lara Antipova 5/4, Ran green but did her best work late and showed speed when runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Wetherby on her only start. Returning from a long layoff and drawn wide; good chance if ready to roll. Close second on Wetherby debut last June and sets the standard on that form; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (10/3 -11%)Tenzi |
10/3(-11%) | (10) Tenzi 10/3, Sent off favourite but below form up in trip when beaten 4l in a novice at Ffos Las most recently; top course jockey and wide draw. Chance down in trip. Finished third in both runs last summer and she's respected back in trip on her return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 +6%)Safe Zone |
15/2(+6%) | (6) Safe Zone 15/2, Fair debut when beaten 3 1/2l in a novice here; shaped as though wanting further. May prefer 7f, acts on AW and typically shows the good attitude of her sire's progeny. Made low-key start over C&D last month and she needs major improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -13%)Angela's Baar |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Angela's Baar 9/1, Back to debut level when fourth beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Thirsk latest; effective at 5/6f. Needs to improve. Went close over 6f in first of her three runs last summer; could be dangerous on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (18/1 -80%)Ring Of Diamonds |
18/1(-80%) | (9) Ring Of Diamonds 18/1, 33,000gns Territories filly; dam useful at around 7f; good yard can get one ready and this one could play a part on debut. 33,000gns yearling; yard 24% in maidens last year and she needs a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 -220%)In Denial |
80/1(-220%) | (7) In Denial 80/1, Outpaced down in trip but improved from debut when beaten 4 1/4l in a novice here last time; wide draw and off a short break. Effective at 5f and a stiff track or 6f may suit better; open to further improvement. Down the field in two runs in December and minor handicaps will be more suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (100/1 -300%)Nautical Sky |
100/1(-300%) | (8) Nautical Sky 100/1, Minor late headway when fourth beaten 9l in a maiden here latest; may want 7f and acts on AW. Possibly something to come. Well held at big prices in two runs this year, the latest over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (150/1 -200%)Follow My Heart |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Follow My Heart 150/1, Bit slow away but similar form to debut when comfortably held in a maiden here last time; bred to sprint. Workmanlike sort with plenty to prove after two modest runs. Big prices and she's been beaten around 12l in two runs this year, including over C&D. |

The form of Tenzi's debut third at Goodwood reads well now and although she disappointed at Ffos Las next time, soft ground might have counted against her. Lara Antipova, Calling A Star and Angela's Baar have each achieved a decent level so far too and can be expected to be on the premises, but a chance is taken on RING OF DIAMONDS. The Territories filly fetched 33,000gns as a yearling and given that the James Tate outfit know how to ready one, a big run would come as no surprise.

Preference is for LARA ANTIPOVA who sets the standard on her second at Wetherby and is open to progress upped in trip on her return.

1/1(+50%) | (3) City Queen 1/1, Moderate debut beaten 5l in a novice at Newmarket (July) on debut; dam a French Listed winner around 10f and surely capable of much better for top yard. Promising fifth at Newmarket (7f) last August; absent since but open to plenty of progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (66/1 -100%)Kelly Burn |
66/1(-100%) | (5) Kelly Burn 66/1, Below debut level when down the field in a novice at Southwell most recent; hood first time; trainer in form; off a short break; bred for 10f+ and should improve. Didn't build on debut promise three weeks later; handicaps over further will suit better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 -50%)Summer Heat |
9/2(-50%) | (2) Summer Heat 9/2, Ran to form when second beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective 7-10f, acts on G and AW; in good form but may be vulnerable back in a novice. Two solid handicap runs for new yard this year; headgear returns; each-way claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (16/1 +43%)Regatta |
16/1(+43%) | (8) Regatta 16/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Newbury on her only start; tongue-tie first time and can surely leave that debut run behind up in trip. Promise amidst inexperience on Newbury debut (7f); tongue tied for return; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 -146%)Midnight Sparkle |
16/1(-146%) | (6) Midnight Sparkle 16/1, Night Of Thunder filly; half-sister to Khaloosy, very smart at 8f; dam useful at 10f; hails from a good yard and looks one to take seriously on debut. Has some useful winning siblings, notably Khaloosy (RPR 114); check the betting on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (8/1 -60%)Itsonlyrockandroll |
8/1(-60%) | (4) Itsonlyrockandroll 8/1, 105,000gns Pinatubo filly; dam Group 2 winner at 12f; hails from a top yard and is one to take seriously for top yard. 105,000gns yearling; dam a well-related Group 2 winner; top yard; market to guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (11/1 -10%)Silken Bay |
11/1(-10%) | (9) Silken Bay 11/1, £80,000 breeze-up purchase by New Bay; sister to Cresta, smart at 11f; tough enough task on debut and others look stronger. £80,000 2yo; sister to Listed winner and half-sister to AW winner in France; check betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (250/1 -400%)Oceanides |
250/1(-400%) | (1) Oceanides 250/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Ludlow on her only start and difficult to fancy on this Flat debut. 100-1 and always behind in a Ludlow bumper last month; not easily recommended. |

CITY QUEEN was seemingly the stable's second string when making her debut at Newmarket in August, but she did at least make an encouraging start. The daughter of Dubawi already looked in need of a step up in trip on that occasion and now afforded just that, she can take the necessary step forward. Summer Heat is capable but will need a little more to claim gold, whilst Pendella appeals most of the remainder.

It was a useful Newmarket maiden in which CITY QUEEN finished fifth on her debut last summer and she is open to plenty of improvement.

15/2(-67%) | (5) Ramon Di Loria 15/2, Bit keen but ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any, likes give; fair mark still. Strong at the finish for a 6f win here two weeks ago; 2lb rise fine and no problem with 7f. |

2nd (2) (12/1 -20%)Amaysmont |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Amaysmont 12/1, Again below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 6-8f, best on AW these days; competitive mark still but needs to bounce back. Not at best this winter but now eligible for 0-55 again; better could be forthcoming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/2 +0%)Von Krolock |
11/2(+0%) | (8) Von Krolock 11/2, Back to best when winning a classified race here by a neck last time; effective 6/7f, acts on S, GF and AW; more needed back in a handicap but in good form. Two C&D wins for new yard this winter, the latest 17 days ago; can't be discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/1 -25%)Bad Habits |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Bad Habits 5/1, Below form fourth beaten 6 1/2l off 53 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, best on AW; not at best latest but can bounce back. C&D win in December and held his form since; should give it another good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (13/2 +35%)Romanovich |
13/2(+35%) | (1) Romanovich 13/2, Below form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on GS, GF and AW; bounce back needed. Down in grade and suitable conditions but not sure he's in the form required to capitalise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 +0%)Rambuso Creek |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Rambuso Creek 8/1, Too much to do but ran to current form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; keeps easing in weights. On losing run and has to prove stamina for 7f but latest effort (6f) not without hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (5/1 +0%)River Wharfe |
5/1(+0%) | (4) River Wharfe 5/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; top course trainer; effective 7-9f, acts on any; below last winning mark, could build on latest. Hold-up handicapper; effective under the conditions; the faster the pace the better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 -13%)Buttercross Flyer |
18/1(-13%) | (10) Buttercross Flyer 18/1, Below form beaten 8l in a classified race here last time; effective 7f, acts on easy ground and AW; bounce back needed. Not matched best 2025 form in three runs this winter; full revival needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (7/1 +50%)Lhebayeb |
7/1(+50%) | (9) Lhebayeb 7/1, Didn't get home back up in trip beaten 2 1/2l in a classified race here last time; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on S and AW; on long losing run but much more like it of late. She has run some fair races this winter; drops back in trip with Billy Loughnane booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 -18%)Porfin |
10/1(-18%) | (7) Porfin 10/1, Ran to form third beaten 4l off 53 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6/7f, acts on S, G and AW; remains 7lb above last win mark. C&D winner; arrives in good order and more appealing than many back up to 7f. |

VON KROLOCK resumed winning ways when sent off favourite for a classified event here recently. James Owen's charge landed a handicap over C&D back in November and, with Ashley Lewis claiming 5lb to aid his cause, he could be the one to side with. River Wharfe is another to consider returning to 7f, while Bad Habits scored here in December and has held his form well since.

A few possibles in an open handicap but PORFIN could be the answer back up in distance. Bad Habits may emerge as the main danger.

10/3(+56%) | (7) Fistral Beach 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time and had been in good form prior. Trainer in form; suited by 7f, best on AW. Chance on her latest couple of runs. Runner-up here on penultimate run and is now 1lb lower than for last win; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/8 +35%)Faster Bee |
13/8(+35%) | (8) Faster Bee 13/8, Improved landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; suited by 7-9f, acts on S, G and AW; in form but 5lb penalty asks more. Off the mark with a dominant display over C&D last Monday; big player again under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 -38%)Believe In Lies |
11/2(-38%) | (3) Believe In Lies 11/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on GS and a sound surface; fair mark and can go well. Close third over C&D two weeks ago and she's a big player if she can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (40/1 -233%)King Of The Dance |
40/1(-233%) | (1) King Of The Dance 40/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Ffos Las latest and is returning from a break. Effective at 7/8f and generally consistent. Course winner who scored over 7f at Chepstow last summer; in the mix on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (66/1 -230%)Whiteley Way |
66/1(-230%) | (6) Whiteley Way 66/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7-10f; not at her best of late. On dangerous mark but she's 0-18 and has been out of sorts in both runs this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/2 +29%)Nammos |
5/2(+29%) | (5) Nammos 5/2, Ran to form when tried in a visor, beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6/7f, both wins on AW; slow starts have been an issue but better latest. Her last win was in 2024 but was a clear second behind Faster Bee over C&D last Monday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (50/1 -150%)Marisitta |
50/1(-150%) | (10) Marisitta 50/1, Weak finishing effort when fourth beaten 5l in a classified race here latest. Effective at 7/8f; more needed. 20-race maiden who was well held on her C&D reappearance 17 days ago; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (25/1 -127%)Thomas Equinas |
25/1(-127%) | (2) Thomas Equinas 25/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 7/8f, with most recent form on AW; bounce back needed. His last win was in 2024 and he's been quiet in both runs this winter; needs to raise game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (25/1 -56%)My Mate Beattie |
25/1(-56%) | (9) My Mate Beattie 25/1, Again below form and did not get home back up in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 7/8f; bounce back needed. 20-race maiden and she's faded in both runs for current yard; others preferred. |

BELIEVE IN LIES has yet to add to August's Carlisle success, but gave the impression she would be doing so sooner rather than later when third over C&D a fortnight ago. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, another strong challenge is expected from the daughter of Make Believe. Faster Bee finally opened his account with a recent victory here, but King of The Dance makes more appeal off his current mark.

Top of the list is FASTER BEE (nap), who came good with a dominant display over C&D last Monday and is only 4lb higher under a penalty.

1st (4) (6/4 +0%)Crown Relic |
6/4(+0%) | (4) Crown Relic 6/4, Kingman colt; dam once-race sister to a smart winner in Bravais; top trainer quite capable at readying one and he's sure to prove popular here. Useful pedigree and betting moves need a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (4/6 +67%)Waterford Castle |
4/6(+67%) | (8) Waterford Castle 4/6, Could not put experience to good use beaten 5l in a maiden at Ffos Las last time; gelded since; top course jockey; highly tried in short career and looks to have been found a good opportunity on debut for new yard. Promising 2yo at about 7f on turf for R Beckett; gelded; sights lowered on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (80/1 -21%)Warm Waters |
80/1(-21%) | (7) Warm Waters 80/1, Similar run to debut down in trip well beaten in a novice at Chelmsford latest; speedily-bred, will probably stay 7f; has looked moderate so far. Triple-figure prices and well held over 1m and 7f this year; no case this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (125/1 -56%)Belltony |
125/1(-56%) | (1) Belltony 125/1, Green and missed break, not given a hard time beaten 8 1/2l in a novice here on debut; speedily-bred, action should suit some give; workmanlike, open to marked improvement. 66-1 for belated debut (1m) in January but hinted at minor ability; handicaps more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 -65%)Spangled Impact |
11/2(-65%) | (6) Spangled Impact 11/2, 95,000gns Starspangledbanner colt; half-brother to Hit The Bid, smart at 5f; dam high-class at 8f; visored on debut for trainer in form. 95,000gns yearling; useful pedigree but offputting that he's visored for debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 +38%)Palazzo Ducale |
50/1(+38%) | (5) Palazzo Ducale 50/1, No-show from off the pace down the field in a novice at Newcastle most recent; top course trainer; off a short-break; some speed in pedigree; do better in low-grade handicaps. Big prices and always behind in two novice events on turf and Newcastle AW as 2yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (25/1 -150%)Street Dancer |
25/1(-150%) | (2) Street Dancer 25/1, 32,000gns Cracksman filly; half-sister to Spirit Of Light, smart at 7f; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo; hooded on debut; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Solid pedigree and yard in form but this is a delayed debut with a hood fitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (50/1 +38%)Baggie Boy |
50/1(+38%) | (3) Baggie Boy 50/1, Minor late headway without being given a hard time comfortably held in a maiden at Southwell last time; top course trainer; probably stays 8f and acts on AW; open to improvement. Soundly beaten in 2 runs for previous yard, at 7f and 1m; handicaps soon. |

WATERFORD CASTLE was thought good enough to compete in the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer. The son of Sea The Stars was switched to George Boughey's yard recently and could be worth chancing on his return to action having also been gelded. Several of the newcomers are worth a second look, notably Spangled Impact, who is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner. He is preferred to both Crown Relic and Street Dancer.

Crown Relic is an interesting newcomer but WATERFORD CASTLE can make a winning start for his new stable.

Visor first time; effective at 9-11f; chance in this if bouncing back. 29-race maiden and his form nosedived at Newcastle last Sunday; first-time visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -33%)Desiderata |
4/1(-33%) | (3) Desiderata 4/1, Ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in a classified race here latest; effective 10-12f, acts on AW; in form of late. Has record of 14232 in classified events and that latest second was over C&D; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/4 +50%)Man Is King |
9/4(+50%) | (6) Man Is King 9/4, Didn't stay up in trip down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; effective 8-11f, acts on G and AW; drop in trip a plus. Made the breakthrough at Chelmsford and he had excuse over 1m4f last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/2 +42%)Regal Glory |
7/2(+42%) | (8) Regal Glory 7/2, Ran to form up in trip when tried in cheekpieces, finishing fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell latest. Suited by 10/11f; in fair enough form and can go well if ready to roll back from a break. Record of 1-31 but she needs checking in market back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (28/1 -100%)Platinum Babe |
28/1(-100%) | (7) Platinum Babe 28/1, Yard won this last year; again ran to a moderate level when 7 1/2l third in a classified race at Newcastle on her most recent start. Top course jockey booked; effective around 8f; needs more to win. Seven-race maiden who has not finished closer than 5l to a winner and has a best RPR of 40. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (16/1 -113%)Sun Festival |
16/1(-113%) | (9) Sun Festival 16/1, Produced his best form in 12 months when 2 1/4l third in a classified race at Lingfield on his most recent run. Effective at 10f; chance if building on that latest performance. Ran a big race at a big price at Lingfield and has each-way claims if he can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (11/2 -10%)Boujee Gold |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Boujee Gold 11/2, Ran to recent level when 6l third in a handicap at Southwell on her most recent run; represents a top course trainer and is usually held up. Effective at 8/9f; chance if building on that latest effort. Has not been at best this winter and meets most of today's rivals on unfavourable terms. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (10/1 -43%)Change Of Fortune |
10/1(-43%) | (2) Change Of Fortune 10/1, Did his best work late when beaten 3 1/2l in a classified race here last time. Effective at 8-9f but yet to fully convince with his stamina for further; in fair form and can go well here. Record of 1-24 but he's effective over C&D and could be in the mix back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (40/1 -60%)Frontpagemoos |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Frontpagemoos 40/1, Well held but closer up when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 10f; up against it returning from an absence. Struggled in her four runs in 2024 and can only be watched back from a long absence. |

This won't take much winning and the vote goes to DESIDERATA, who chased home an in-form rival in a similar C&D event earlier this month. Many of these arrive with something to prove, so Thomas Faulkner's charge must hold every chance of going one place better. Man Is King disappointed at Lingfield but did win at Chelmsford on his penultimate start. Change Of Fortune is next best.

The vote goes to DESIDERATA, who has form figures 14232 in classified events and that latest second was a close call over C&D.

9/4(+50%) | (1) Chourmo 9/4, Ran to form when dropped in grade, finishing fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a classified race here last time. Suited by 8-10f and acts on any surface; holds a good chance judged on that latest effort. Good fourth in classified event over C&D latest and ties in with Dash Power on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +50%)Gemini Man |
9/4(+50%) | (3) Gemini Man 9/4, Made mistakes but still ran to form when beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Had been in good form prior and is effective over 8-11f; on a competitive mark back on the Flat. Infrequent winner but conditions should be fine and he's not ruled out back on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 -20%)Dash Power |
3/1(-20%) | (2) Dash Power 3/1, Ran to form when 2l third in a classified race here on his most recent start. Ridden by a top course jockey and effective at 7-10f, acts on AW; running into form at this level and can go well. Record of 1-40 but he's been in good form in classified events this year; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 -56%)Myna |
7/1(-56%) | (7) Myna 7/1, Did plenty wrong and was well below form when beaten 7l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. From a top course trainer, suited by 10f and acts on any; excuses that latest run and could bounce back. Off the mark at Lingfield last month but he was disappointing there ten days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -41%)Grand Harbour |
12/1(-41%) | (4) Grand Harbour 12/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth, beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective over 10-12f and has a chance if building on that latest run. 0-11 but was fair fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) last time and he's in the mix back on Tapeta. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -150%)Millbuie |
20/1(-150%) | (6) Millbuie 20/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective over 8-12f and acts on AW, but remains an unreliable maiden. 21-race maiden who has been well held in last five runs; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -56%)Resilient Lady |
28/1(-56%) | (8) Resilient Lady 28/1, Below form when upped in trip and beaten 9l in a classified race here last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time; effective up to 12f on AW and a drop in trip may help. Unplaced in all ten starts and she needs a transformation with blinkers added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -213%)Keeper Of Secrets |
50/1(-213%) | (5) Keeper Of Secrets 50/1, The yard won this race last year, but he again ran to a poor level when beaten 8l in a classified race here last time. Has yet to show anything of note. Has struggled in all five runs including a classified event over C&D ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -213%)Scarfo |
50/1(-213%) | (9) Scarfo 50/1, Below form when beaten 4l in a classified race here last time. Effective over 7/8f but needs more to be competitive. Sole win was in 2024 and this looks a tough task at the weights; opposable. |

Just as was the case in the first division of this contest, there are a few that will need to step forward on what they have shown recently. GRAND HARBOUR put a string of lacklustre efforts behind him to finish a creditable fourth at Lingfield latest, though, and whilst favoured at the weights a replication might suffice. Chourmo and Dash Power are feared most.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with CHOURMO who had a wider trip than ideal when a good fourth over C&D last time.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +11%)Akrivos |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Akrivos 4/1, Sat too far off the pace and finished best when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 7/8f and could improve if getting tactics right up in trip. Came from way back over 1m here latest; well worth a go over new trip; can be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -43%)Berkshire Schmokin |
5/1(-43%) | (2) Berkshire Schmokin 5/1, Too free early and looked short of pace at trip but was off a break when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; trainer in form; probably needs at least 8f; form is hard to be certain about but open to progress up in trip. Minor form when qualifying and found little on recent handicap debut over 1m; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -43%)Montu |
5/1(-43%) | (7) Montu 5/1, Ran to form, looking like needing further, when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Wants middle-distances ideally and the step up in trip is a plus. Kept on well on handicap debut over 1m; bred to improve for new trip; of interest. |

6/1(+33%) | (1) Attention Seeker 6/1, Raced too freely when held up off a slow pace on his first run after a wind operation, beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective at 7f and yet to stay further; needs to prove the breathing procedure has been beneficial. Clear ability over 7f; well held in two 1m handicaps; up in trip with hood left off. |

(3) (8/1 -45%)Sweet Love |
8/1(-45%) | (3) Sweet Love 8/1, Below form and did not get home when upped in trip, beaten 6l in a novice at Kempton last time. Top course jockey booked; returning from a break and effective at 7/8f; mark looks about right but could improve for a longer trip. Well held in sole handicap as 2yo; seems to act on Polytrack; Tapeta debut after break. |

(9) (18/1 -80%)Lope Harswell |
18/1(-80%) | (9) Lope Harswell 18/1, Probably did not stay when sixth, beaten 12l off 46 last time, and runs off the same mark here. Cheekpieces on first time; effective at 7/8f, perhaps better at the latter, but stamina to prove. Dead-heated over 7f in December; way back upped to 1m2f since; trip query; headgear on. |

(4) (28/1 -100%)Angry Ant |
28/1(-100%) | (4) Angry Ant 28/1, Ran a bit below her maiden and novice form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Stays 8f and longer trip is something new. Some maiden promise over 1m but soundly beaten in two handicaps since, including over C&D. |

(8) (28/1 -56%)Shes Got The Blues |
28/1(-56%) | (8) Shes Got The Blues 28/1, Ran to her current level off a stiff mark when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time. Top course trainer; effective up to 8f and may have regressed. Close up on final 2yo start (turf) but yet to shine on AW for new yard; new trip. |

BERKSHIRE SCHMOKIN ran fresh on his first start since September when finishing only fourth at Chelmsford. He should settle better with that pipe-opener under his belt and looks one to keep on the right side of with Andrew Balding's yard firing on all cylinders. Attention Seeker is another likely improver based on last year's best efforts, while Montu is an unexposed type worthy of a second glance.

Perhaps DARN HOT DAME, who made her debut only in December, can make the most of this first handicap run over a trip that should suit.

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.

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.
