1st (3) (4/1 -129%)Sogna In Grande |
4/1(-129%) | (3) Sogna In Grande 4/1, Promising hurdles debut when outstaying runner-up when winning a novice hurdle at Warwick by 3/4l last time; returning from a break; effective 2m5f, acts on soft; useful prospect with more to offer. Point winner who won on hurdling/stable debut at Warwick (2m5f); respected under penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/5 +56%)Grand Vendetta |
2/5(+56%) | (2) Grand Vendetta 2/5, Improved for debut experience when winning a novice hurdle at Taunton by 1 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m3f/2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; win franked and more to offer. Beat a clear second at Taunton and he sets a good standard under a penalty; key player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 +45%)Catwalk Girl |
18/1(+45%) | (5) Catwalk Girl 18/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Southwell last time; effective at 2m5f on soft; may need more time and handicaps. Promising third on hurdling debut at Ludlow but was tailed off last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 +0%)Amatchmadeinheaven |
11/2(+0%) | (1) Amatchmadeinheaven 11/2, Improved on hurdles debut tried in a hood when winning a maiden hurdle at Exeter by a length last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface; penalty asks more but looks a nice prospect. Bumper winner who landed gamble on hurdling/stable debut at Exeter; in the mix up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (300/1 -140%)Sure To Be Sure |
300/1(-140%) | (4) Sure To Be Sure 300/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; returning from long layoff and undergone a wind op; effective 2m2f on good; major improvement needed. Hasn't shown much in his five starts including two runs over hurdles; can only be watched. |

The three last-start winners stand out and Grand Vendetta's Taunton triumph has been boosted by the runner-up going one better since. He will encounter very different conditions here, though, and SOGNA IN GRANDE might be happier on a quicker surface because he bounced off the top of the ground to win a point-to-point prior to making a successful hurdling debut at Warwick. That form has worked out too. Amatchmadeinheaven struck at the first time of asking for the Twiston-Davies team at Exeter, but needs to prove his stamina.

There are three hurdle winners in the line-up and preference is for GRAND VENDETTA who sets a good standard on his Taunton success.

1st (4) (11/8 +59%)Hell Hound |
11/8(+59%) | (4) Hell Hound 11/8, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Taunton latest where couldn't go gallop and needed run; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; point winner could leave debut effort behind back on better ground. Course hurdle winner; heavy ground possibly didn't suit when pulled up on chase debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 +36%)Always Busy |
7/2(+36%) | (3) Always Busy 7/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Chepstow latest where failed to handle soft; effective up to 3m, best on a sound surface; inconsistent, worth a go over marathon trips but threat if getting stiff test here back on better ground. Recent efforts not great but he did win over C&D on good off this mark last spring. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 -105%)Fern Hill |
10/3(-105%) | (1) Fern Hill 10/3, Back to form on slightly better ground, did plenty early chasing strong pace beaten a length off a 5lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 2m4f-3m, not convinced over further, best on sound surface; in good form this term. Two 3m wins on good in autumn; back on form when second latest; respected despite 5lb rise. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -57%)Queens Wish |
11/2(-57%) | (5) Queens Wish 11/2, Never threatened, no obvious excuse 44l third in a handicap chase at Market Rasen most recent run; C&D winner in autumn; usually held up; effective 2-3m, acts on good to soft and good; good mark on form for old yard over hurdles. C&D win in November but well below that level when twice third since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (17/2 +39%)Noche Negra |
17/2(+39%) | (2) Noche Negra 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Stratford latest where failed to convince with stamina; effective around 2m4f, acts on heavy, soft; stiff mark after lay off and stamina concerns once more. Won on yard debut in late 2024 but hasn't shown much in just three runs since. |

FERN HILL returned to form when second at Chepstow and the 11-year-old has every chance of going one better in a contest that lacks much depth on paper. Queens Wish won over C&D in November and would be a threat if returning to that kind of form, while Hell Hound is worth another chance after pulling up on his fencing bow at Taunton.

Hell Hound could leave his chase debut behind but the only one who arrives on the back of a good run is Chepstow second FERN HILL.

1st (2) (15/2 +0%)Maple |
15/2(+0%) | (2) Maple 15/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 46lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; back below last winning mark and back in form on Flat of late. Failed to kick on over hurdles but good second on Flat recently; enters calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +33%)Captain Cool |
2/1(+33%) | (1) Captain Cool 2/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride at sharp track, jumped much better beaten 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; in form and latest run boosted. Advanced his form when clear second over C&D 22 days ago; a player for his in-form yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 +20%)Blackwater Lilly |
8/1(+20%) | (4) Blackwater Lilly 8/1, Too much to do having met trouble beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 2m, acts on good; bit more needed in both codes but has hinted at better of late and on a fair mark on maiden form. Opened her account at Bangor last May but below par since (mainly on Flat); more is needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 +39%)Fine Point |
11/2(+39%) | (6) Fine Point 11/2, Mistakes, wide, below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, wants sound surface; back on last winning mark, likely to need this. Ended time for Nigel Hawke below par; could bounce back for in-form new stable after break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -471%)Belaya River |
10/1(-471%) | (5) Belaya River 10/1, Improved again under positive ride when second beaten 5 1/2l in a 4yo hurdle at Kelso latest; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; progressing over hurdles and opening mark looks lenient. Good second in 2m Kelso juvenile 32 days ago; not out of things now going into handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +34%)Ambassador |
33/1(+34%) | (7) Ambassador 33/1, Yard won this last year; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle latest after rider lost irons; returning from a break; effective 2m, needs sound surface; likes the track but vulnerable to improver. Scored at Cartmel in August but pulled up at Carlisle in November; lots more required. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (9/4 +36%)Diamond Jim |
9/4(+36%) | (3) Diamond Jim 9/4, Bit free, ran to form when fourth beaten 11l in a 4yo hurdle at Warwick latest behind classy looking rival; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; in good form. Solid fourth at Warwick latest; cheekpieces on for h'cap debut and needs considering. |

Belaya River wasn't able to defy a penalty at Kelso in February but although he lost little in defeat and appeals as one of the likelier winners, DIAMOND JIM gets the vote. The son of Teofilo came up short at Warwick having won at Haydock, but he now goes handicapping from a reasonable mark and could also improve for the addition of cheekpieces. Captain Cool heads the remainder.

Jennie Candlish's CAPTAIN COOL came home well clear of the rest when runner-up over C&D last time and can bag a second C&D success here

1st (4) (9/1 +25%)Geezer Rockstar |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Geezer Rockstar 9/1, Not find much well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but capable. Has a patchy record and he's struggled in his last two runs; comes with risks attached. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 -22%)Jukebox King |
11/4(-22%) | (3) Jukebox King 11/4, Ran to form on handicap debut when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a hurdle at Warwick latest; effective around 2m4f on good to soft, had a wind op; improvement possible but might want 3m. Unexposed 6yo who was creditable fourth on handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f); interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 +19%)Calme Olympien |
13/2(+19%) | (2) Calme Olympien 13/2, Never put into the race when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 2m2f-2m5f, acts on any; might have more to come for this yard judged on useful level of form in France. Won a Fontwell maiden in October but no impact back in handicaps since; needs to find more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +54%)Twist Of Fatecatch |
3/1(+54%) | (1) Twist Of Fatecatch 3/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newbury most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, yet to fully convince with stamina for 3m, best on sound surface; not at best of late but ground should suit here. On dangerous mark but he needs a major revival after a short break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 -10%)Jena D'oudairies |
11/2(-10%) | (6) Jena D'oudairies 11/2, Better effort down in grade but didn't stay when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, suited by sound surface; bit to prove, needs this drop back in distance. Has faded in last four runs but this drop back in trip could spark her back into action. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/4 +31%)Matthias |
11/4(+31%) | (7) Matthias 11/4, Step back in right direction tried in a tongue-tie albeit comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective 2m-2m4f on good to soft; could raise his game now handicapping. Handicap newcomer who has shown promise this winter; needs close look at this new trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (14/1 -56%)Gold Link |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Gold Link 14/1, Well below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Warwick most recent; cheekpieces first time; best at 2m4f-2m6f, suited by sound surface; bounce back needed. Hard to predict but was close second at Southwell (2m4f) on penultimate run; new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (50/1 -317%)Wispit Twob |
50/1(-317%) | (8) Wispit Twob 50/1, Never travelled after wind op, may have found ground on the quick side when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Exeter most recent; effective at 2m1f on yielding to soft; must bounce back. Unexposed 4yo but she's struggled for new yard and needs a transformation at this new trip. |

None of these arrive at the absolute top of their game so the vote goes to JUKEBOX KING, who made a pleasing start to his handicap career at Warwick and can build on that fourth-placing. Matthias is the one making his handicap bow now and the pick of his form, especially a second to Quebecois in an Exeter bumper, would put him high up on the shortlist. Calme Olympien and Geezer Rockstar were well beaten by the same horse at Newbury and Kempton respectively, but this shouldn't be as competitive.

Most of these come with risks attached and it might be worth focusing on the two unexposed runners in Matthias and JUKEBOX KING.

1st (3) (9/4 +55%)Ukantango |
9/4(+55%) | (3) Ukantango 9/4, Yard has won last two runnings of race; scored by 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Hereford penultimate start; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; back in form until latest, capable off this mark. Hurdle win this winter and placed off much higher marks in his previous spell chasing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -60%)Kayce Dutton |
12/1(-60%) | (1) Kayce Dutton 12/1, Scored by 3l off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen three starts back; travelled but didn't find as much as looked likely fifth beaten 31l off 110 last time, 1lb lower here; effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Two Market Rasen chase wins but pulled up there in February and remote fifth here since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -100%)Big Boy Barney |
4/1(-100%) | (2) Big Boy Barney 4/1, Did it readily, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 5l off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; didn't beat much last time but debut form strong, should have more to offer. Point winner who made it second-time lucky over fences at Huntingdon latest; may do better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +0%)Gilbertina |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Gilbertina 6/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by decent ground; in fair form, goes well at Market Rasen, yet to win over fences but not dismissed. Yet to win over fences but has recorded creditable in-frame efforts in recent months. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/2 +25%)Intenzo |
5/2(+25%) | (4) Intenzo 5/2, Keen, travelled, carried head high and out-battled late beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; effective 2m-2m3f; more to come over fences, head carriage a worry. Second on 2m chase/handicap debut last month and open to progress now back up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (13/2 +41%)Boston Boy |
13/2(+41%) | (5) Boston Boy 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good to soft, good; yet to take to chasing. No show in three chases this winter, pulling up in cheekpieces latest; blinkers on now. |

Big Boy Barney ran out a comfortable winner at Huntingdon and Fergal O'Brien's charge has to be respected after a 5lb rise from the handicapper. However, the vote goes to INTENZO. The five-year-old showed plenty of promise on his chase debut at Sedgefield and the switch to a flatter track may yield some improvement. Gilbertina's third at Newcastle gives her every chance of a decent showing.

Although BIG BOY BARNEY probably didn't beat much at Huntingdon he looked to do it with a bit in hand and can make it 2-3 over fences.

1st (3) (15/2 -88%)Stratagem |
15/2(-88%) | (3) Stratagem 15/2, Too much to do but returned to form 5l third in a handicap chase at Doncaster most recent run; enjoys making it; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good to soft, good; good mark on hunter form if building on latest. Not disgraced when third in Doncaster handicap chase 33 days ago; no forlorn hope. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 -50%)Realisation |
9/4(-50%) | (2) Realisation 9/4, Ran to form up in trip suited by positive ride in race dominated from front landing a handicap by 5l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; consistent, form franked, remain competitive. Reliable sort who got off the mark over C&D 22 days ago; up 6lb but she can go well again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (13/8 +54%)Mountain Mike |
13/8(+54%) | (1) Mountain Mike 13/8, Improved up in trip when second beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; effective 2m5f-3m1f, acts on heavy, good; in form, should be winning soon over fences. Good runner-up at Hereford last month; more to offer so merits serious consideration. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (7/2 +46%)Ailt An Chorrain |
7/2(+46%) | (4) Ailt An Chorrain 7/2, Up in trip, didn't stay 36l third in a handicap chase at Catterick most recent run; suited by 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; fair mark on hurdles form but unreliable so far over fences. In the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers; possibilities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (12/1 -33%)Mary Stanford |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Mary Stanford 12/1, Ran to form on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; debut form franked, needs more but could improve now chasing up in trip. Failed to go on over hurdles; this winning pointer could still do better now going chasing. |

It is hard to oppose REALISATION. Charlie Longsdon's mare found considerable improvement for a step up in trip when winning over C&D last month and a 6lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Mountain Mike and Ailt An Chorrain are still getting the hang of things over fences but can give the selection plenty to think about and don't rule out Stratagem, who ought to benefit from a drop in class.

The lightly raced MOUNTAIN MIKE (nap) has started well over fences and can build on a good Hereford second to gain his first chasing win

1st (3) (3/1 +14%)Broomfields Cave |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Broomfields Cave 3/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Doncaster latest; effective 3m+, further the better, acts on good to soft, good; progressing until latest and return to drier ground a plus. Flopped at Doncaster but that was in the Grimthorpe and he still has potential as a chaser. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (15/2 -200%)Law Of Supply |
15/2(-200%) | (5) Law Of Supply 15/2, Fell late when held in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; returning from a break; effective 3m on a sound surface; chance if benefiting from break. Disputing third when he fell at the last at Hereford in December; respected on his return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 +33%)Loup De Maulde |
10/3(+33%) | (1) Loup De Maulde 10/3, Below form back chasing up in trip when fourth beaten 35l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective up to 3m1f, acts on soft and good; drop in trip may help. Well treated on old form but he's returned from long absence with two underwhelming runs. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/4 +21%)Golan Loop |
11/4(+21%) | (2) Golan Loop 11/4, Step back in right direction when 9 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Hereford most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f-3m1f on soft and good; chance if building on latest. Unexposed chaser who won over 3m1f in December; in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (3/1 +63%)Muskoka |
3/1(+63%) | (4) Muskoka 3/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2m6f-3m1f on good to soft; mark easing but in moderate form. Runner-up over C&D in December but was pulled up at Warwick last time; risks attached. |

A soft-ground Grimthorpe was all too much for BROOMFIELDS CAVE at Doncaster, but he accounted for Muskoka over track and trip on Boxing Day and can resume his progression. Golan Loop went some way to putting a C&D disappointment behind him when third at Hereford, admittedly well held. Loup De Maulde is yet to fire since returning from the sidelines but has dropped to an attractive mark, while Law Of Supply has scope for improvement.

This looks tricky but LAW OF SUPPLY is now 1lb lower than for his last win and he gets the vote ahead of Golan Loop,

1st (10) (5/1 +0%)No More Teardrops |
5/1(+0%) | (10) No More Teardrops 5/1, 18,000 euros Mastercraftsman filly; dam a useful hurdler who placed in Coral Cup; worth a market check ahead of debut. A very likely type on paper, being first foal of 2021 Mares' Hurdle winner Black Tears. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (50/1 -79%)Briery Bluebelle |
50/1(-79%) | (2) Briery Bluebelle 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden bumper at Huntingdon latest where too green to show anything; had wind op since; off a short-break; all to prove. Had a breathing operation since pulling up on debut in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 -7%)Rosie's Honour |
8/1(-7%) | (7) Rosie's Honour 8/1, Flag Of Honour mare; half-sister to Don't Tell Rosie, fair at 19f; dam very useful at 12f; half-brother placed at Listed level on Flat; watch betting. Betting should help guide to expectations for a stable no stranger to bumper success. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/2 +0%)Frost Moon |
7/2(+0%) | (3) Frost Moon 7/2, Outpaced, modest debut beaten 8 1/4l in a Mares bumper at Ludlow last time; returning from a break; point winner should improve for initial experience but may want a bit further in time. Point winner; never dangerous on bumper debut but in top hands so may do better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (28/1 -12%)Frandefo |
28/1(-12%) | (8) Frandefo 28/1, 9,000 euros Goliath Du Berlais filly whose dam was unraced; yard not known for first time out winners; best watched. Probably best watched for yard which is 1-12 in bumpers in last five seasons. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/1 -125%)Rose Of Knocknamoe |
9/1(-125%) | (6) Rose Of Knocknamoe 9/1, Promising debut runner-up beaten 13l in a maiden point at Ballycrystal only start; point form had knocks but has joined a top yard which can get them ready first time. Second in 3m Irish point in December; new stable does well in bumpers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (5/6 +52%)Queens Charm |
5/6(+52%) | (5) Queens Charm 5/6, Yard won this last year; promising debut 1 1/2l winner in a maiden point at Knockmullen House on debut; point winner has joined top yard and looks a likely type. Point winner who makes obvious appeal for last year's winning yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (20/1 -25%)Aunt Gallie |
20/1(-25%) | (1) Aunt Gallie 20/1, 7,000 euros Jet Away mare; half-sister to Ragmans Corner, very useful at 16f; stable in good form; may just need this initial experience. Stable 0-14 in bumpers this season but had a smart performer in this sphere last term. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -122%)Just Rizzo |
40/1(-122%) | (9) Just Rizzo 40/1, 3,000 euros Jukebox Jury filly; half-sister to The White Mouse, smart at 20f; dam a point winner; tough enough task on debut. Bred to have a future but might be more one for longer trips down the line. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (250/1 -25%)Greyse |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Greyse 250/1, Keen, green and hung badly, modest debut well beaten in an Amateurs' bumper at Huntingdon only start; all to prove. 250-1 when tailed off on Huntingdon debut just three weeks ago. |

QUEENS CHARM won on her point-to-point debut in November and the daughter of Crystal Ocean, who is related to a couple of bumper winners including Listed hurdles winner Park Princess, is in the right hands to make a successful transition to this sphere. No More Teardrops is out of Mares' Hurdle winner Black Tears and has to be on the shortlist. Aunt Gallie and Frost Moon complete the shortlist.

Ben Pauling won this last year so the vote goes to his point recruit QUEENS CHARM.

1st (5) (5/1 +33%)Clean Getaway |
5/1(+33%) | (5) Clean Getaway 5/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; suited by 2m on good; out of form but goes well at Sedgefield. A two-time C&D scorer in 2024 but his more recent form is far less encouraging. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 +8%)Natural Ability |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Natural Ability 6/1, Outpaced and never threatened 22l third in a handicap chase at Catterick most recent run; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent but has good course record and handicapper has relented. C&D winner in November 2024 but there's not been much to enthuse over since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (20/1 +20%)Elusive Warrior |
20/1(+20%) | (7) Elusive Warrior 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2m; looking flattered by maiden form, bit to prove now chasing. Only poor form shown in his five runs over hurdles; goes chasing with lots to prove. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (200/1 -300%)Nonbinding |
200/1(-300%) | (2) Nonbinding 200/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m; formerly useful hurdler, out of form when last seen, needs to prove ability remains. Has offered little for current yard, pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; hard to warm to. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (5/2 +17%)Myfavouritesister |
5/2(+17%) | (8) Myfavouritesister 5/2, Ran to form back down in trip 7l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface; consistent maiden, strong stayer may find this on the sharp side on chase debut. Consistent maiden hurdler; off since September but no forlorn hope now going chasing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (7/1 +36%)Restandbethankful |
7/1(+36%) | (6) Restandbethankful 7/1, Found nil having briefly threatened comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; off a short-break; suited by 2m, acts on soft and good, likes to lead; out of form. Course winner but a remote fifth over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (13/8 +0%)Dixie Cowboy |
13/8(+0%) | (1) Dixie Cowboy 13/8, Returned to form under positive ride in first time cheekpieces, well placed in race dominated from front when second beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Market Rasen latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; likes the track, needs to build on latest. Good second at Market Rasen latest; big shout off an unchanged mark with headgear retained. |

DIXIE COWBOY put a couple of moderate efforts behind him to fill the runner-up spot at Market Rasen and with the seven-year-old having much less to prove than a few of these, a similar level of performance could suffice. Although Myfavouritesister and Beep Beep Becky are both yet to tackle a fence, they probably wouldn't need to find stacks of improvement. Natural Ability has struggled of late, but is now 6lb below his previous winning mark.

This looks an excellent opportunity for Sam England's DIXIE COWBOY to build on his recent Market Rasen second and gain a second C&D win

10/3(+58%) | (6) Square Du Roule 10/3, Never in it from off the pace when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 2m2f-3m on a sound surface; can be weak in a finish and was below form last time. In good form during the winter but he was laboured at Exeter latest; needs to bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (16/1 -146%)Lydeard Girl |
16/1(-146%) | (3) Lydeard Girl 16/1, Unseated late when held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on any; likely a bit more to come in handicaps. Seven-race maiden who unseated last time and she needs improvement at this new trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/3 -11%)Harry Junior |
10/3(-11%) | (2) Harry Junior 10/3, Improved up in trip under positive ride when landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Exeter last time; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on good to soft and good; generally progressive. Record of 2-4 in handicaps and he rallied well at Exeter last time; respected up 5lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/4 +23%)Walkinthepresent |
5/4(+23%) | (5) Walkinthepresent 5/4, Improved to get off the mark back on better ground landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft but likes a sound surface; improving, more to come despite 7lb rise. Hit a clear personal best when scoring at Taunton (3m, good) and he's a major player again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (20/1 +0%)Stage Show |
20/1(+0%) | (7) Stage Show 20/1, Found ground too testing when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; effective 2m-3m on sound surface; unreliable. Won at Exeter on his penultimate run and he had an excuse on heavy latest; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 -43%)It's A Breeze |
5/1(-43%) | (1) It's A Breeze 5/1, Best form in 12 months when beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m5f on a sound surface; can go well again. 0-8 over hurdles but was runner-up behind an improver over C&D last time; dangerous. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (125/1 -25%)All Night Parking |
125/1(-25%) | (4) All Night Parking 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m6f, acts on good; bit to prove at present. Has failed to complete in his last four runs including at 125-1 in two hurdle handicaps. |

HARRY JUNIOR bounced back from a disappointing effort at Exeter when returning to the same venue and gaining a second career success. The manner of victory suggested further improvement would be likely stepped up in trip and David Pipe's gelding can handle a 5lb rise. Walkinthepresent has improved for going up in distance and is an obvious threat following his Taunton win. C&D runner-up It's A Breeze appeals most of the remainder.

Top of the list is the lightly raced 6yo WALKINTHEPRESENT who hit a clear personal best when landing a Taunton handicap last month.

1st (5) (2/9 +80%)Road To Wembley |
2/9(+80%) | (5) Road To Wembley 2/9, Green, caught on post, very promising debut when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Warwick latest; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; consistent Flat stayer on sound surface, could make useful hurdler, should be winning soon. Four Flat wins and promising second on recent hurdle debut for new yard; the one to beat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -40%)Novelista |
7/2(-40%) | (7) Novelista 7/2, Yard won this last year; needed run on debut comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Ascot last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts with cut; should be capable of better judged on Flat form. Useful on Flat; well-held sixth on hurdle debut but should be capable of better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (66/1 -164%)Promethean |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Promethean 66/1, Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a novice hurdle at Carlisle latest; usually held up; effective 10-12f; winner in France last summer, bit to prove at present in both codes. Fair Flat winner for David Menuisier but yet to fire for this yard, including two hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (40/1 -21%)Paragon |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Paragon 40/1, Poorly placed to challenge at sharp track, ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy, good; more to come judged on Flat form. Modest maiden on Flat and similar form in two hurdles at Huntingdon in recent months. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -118%)Top Coeur |
12/1(-118%) | (6) Top Coeur 12/1, May have found ground too quick on stable debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time; effective 2m, acts with cut; ex-Irish, more to come for new yard. Fair form in bumper/hurdles over 2m in Ireland but tailed off over 2m4f on yard debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (100/1 -150%)Papillondelumiere |
100/1(-150%) | (3) Papillondelumiere 100/1, Ran to form 15l third in the Maiden Point at Dingley most recent run; absent for very lengthy period; showed minor promise in points. Six-race maiden in points and off for 676 days ahead of belated hurdle debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (150/1 -50%)Lou Des Bordes |
150/1(-50%) | (2) Lou Des Bordes 150/1, Stopped quickly, failed to build on debut down the field in a bumper at Huntingdon most recent; up against it now tackling hurdles. Well held in two bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles; outsider. |

ROAD TO WEMBLEY was no slouch on the level and took well to hurdling on his stable debut at Warwick, despite finding one too strong. Olly Murphy's new recruit should be all the wiser for that experience and natural improvement could suffice. Novelista is another who displayed a useful level of ability on the Flat and ought to find this less taxing than the Ascot juvenile event he contested on his hurdling bow. Top Coeur, who has an official rating of 116, should also be involved.

This could be a good chance for ROAD TO WEMBLEY to go one place better than on last month's hurdle debut.

8/11(+39%) | (1) Bright Legend 8/11, Returned to form but too much to do ridden to see out the trip 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; experienced and sets clear standard. Back to form with Wincanton third latest; the clear form pick back in maiden company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +9%)Who's Glen |
5/2(+9%) | (5) Who's Glen 5/2, Too much to do but ran to form 4 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh most recent run; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on good to soft; big chance if building on latest down in class. Best effort hurdling when third at Musselburgh 12 days ago; not out of things. |

3rd (3) (9/1 -50%)Hay Max |
9/1(-50%) | (3) Hay Max 9/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a bumper at Huntingdon last time; effective 2m on good; debut form franked, more to come now hurdling up in trip. Debut second in Bangor bumper but twice failed to build on it; more needed now hurdling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (22/1 -10%)Monark Wood |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Monark Wood 22/1, Far too free, needed run well beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Huntingdon latest; hood first time; effective 2m; placed in French hurdle, needs more for new yard. French recruit but beat only one on yard at Huntingdon last month; hooded/tongue tied here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -78%)Phantom Gold |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Phantom Gold 8/1, When winning a maiden bumper at Newton Abbot by 9l last time; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper and point winner may have more to offer over hurdles but likely to need this. Easily landed Newton Abbot bumper in July 2023; needs considering on yard/hurdling debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (25/1 -25%)Fearless Dragon |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Fearless Dragon 25/1, Unseated in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2 1/2m; has shown minor promise here but plenty more needed to get off the mark. Remote C&D third & unseated rider at the 3rd here since; needs to take a big step forward. |

Phantom Gold undoubtedly has the most potential, but he has been off since running away with a Newton Abbot bumper in the summer of 2023 and it will take a remarkable training feat to get him to peak first time back. The safer option is BRIGHT LEGEND, who has plenty of experience under his belt and made the frame in a Wincanton handicap last time. Who's Glen also reverts to maiden company with a big shout, while Hay Max is worth a look.

Faye Bramley's BRIGHT LEGEND got right back on track when third in a Wincanton handicap last time and can gain an overdue first success

9/2(+50%) | (1) Move With The Beat 9/2, Bit below form when fourth beaten 18l off 108 last time, 3lb lower here; effective 2m4f-3m on a sound surface; prolific in points and could progress still with tongue-tie now tried. Record of 5-8 in points but he's 1-11 under rules and was well held at Taunton last time. |

2nd (6) (3/1 +33%)Universal Secret |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Universal Secret 3/1, Returned to form down in trip back from break after wind op when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; best at 2m-2m5f with cut; not one to rely on building on but could again see positive impact of wind op . Returned after wind surgery with a C&D win (Hatos second) in February; respected up 6lb. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 +13%)My Rockstar |
14/1(+13%) | (7) My Rockstar 14/1, Below form but ran well for a long way back from layoff when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m-3m, ideally wants a sound surface; should come on for return. Well held behind Universal Secret over C&D latest and he's out of the weights here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 -35%)Applicationofcash |
9/2(-35%) | (4) Applicationofcash 9/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; can go well again after a small rise. Looked fortunate at Taunton but he remains feasibly treated off 2lb higher; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/1 -27%)Rangatira Jack |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Rangatira Jack 7/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Exeter last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent, below last win mark. Won off 2lb higher at Exeter last April but he's been disappointing since. |

Kingcormac arrives in search of a hat-trick after scoring at Exeter and Hereford last month. The 10-year-old appears likely to be very competitive once again after going up 3lb for the latest of those, but preference is for APPLICATIONOFCASH. He was arguably a fortunate winner at Taunton on yard debut for Gordon Treacy, but it wouldn't be a surprise if stepping back up in trip aided his cause. Universal Secret and Hatos head the remainder.

Preference is for KINGCORMAC (nap) who has won three of his last five and was as good as ever when winning at Hereford last time.

Progressive for this yard, winning twice and second; cheekpieces added; bold show likely. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +50%)Campaign Trail |
5/1(+50%) | (7) Campaign Trail 5/1, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip having done plenty early, needed run when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; effective 2-3m, acts on heavy, good; fair mark on novice form, should come on for latest. Faded only late back from a break latest; remains unexposed as a stayer over hurdles. |

Two soft-ground wins in cheekpieces; below par latest and blinkers are tried now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -36%)Ocean Conquest |
15/2(-36%) | (5) Ocean Conquest 15/2, Outpaced, returned to form beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft, good; fair mark if building on latest, worth another go over staying trips. Two good-ground wins in autumn; fair fifth latest; claims if stamina holds back up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 +17%)Jubilant |
15/2(+17%) | (3) Jubilant 15/2, Below form up in class off revised mark, taken on up front by progressive rival comfortably held in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; effective around 3m, acts on good to soft, good; generally consistent, has won off higher mark over fences. Third chase win in December; 3m5f seemingly stretched him since; lower mark back hurdling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -13%)El Galactico |
9/1(-13%) | (1) El Galactico 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest where too keen; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; yet to match novice form in handicaps. Lightly raced dual good-ground winner but ran poorly latest; cheekpieces are added now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -193%)Immortal Fame |
22/1(-193%) | (2) Immortal Fame 22/1, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Market Rasen penultimate start; below form off revised mark Pulled up in a handicap chase latest; effective 2m4f-2m6f, gets sharp 3m, suited by decent ground, acts on soft; mark looks too high. Pulled up latest and now returns to hurdles for first time since joining this yard in 2024. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -60%)Moon Hunter |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Moon Hunter 40/1, Ran to current form back over hurdles in first time blinkers 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m; well treated on old form but unreliable. Step back in right direction back hurdling latest; needs to show he can build on that now. |

A confident vote goes to PASSING PLEASURE, who won over hurdles at Musselburgh before following up over the larger obstacles at Catterick. The six-year-old went down by a narrow margin at Newcastle last time, but that came after a short break and he is expected to resume his progress now. El Galactico failed to complete at Doncaster, but may bounce back now down in class. Campaign Trail is another to consider.

Although PASSING PLEASURE (nap) lost his unbeaten record for this yard last time it was another improved effort and he can go in again.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -40%)Byron Hill |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Byron Hill 14/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; dropping in weights, in fair form and no forlorn stable second string. On long losing sequence; this return to a longer trip should suit so he's no forlorn hope. |

(10) (22/1 -38%)Deauville Lady |
22/1(-38%) | (10) Deauville Lady 22/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Taunton last time; may be one for longer distance handicaps and of interest off basement mark. Has cut little ice in three hurdles runs; needs switch to h'caps to spark major progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -100%)Swingforthefence |
28/1(-100%) | (4) Swingforthefence 28/1, Outpaced, disappointing handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; acts on soft, good to soft; still early days in handicaps, could bounce back.

Has offered little in two runs this term, eighth over C&D in November; cheekpieces go on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 -65%)Mr Globalist |
33/1(-65%) | (11) Mr Globalist 33/1, Ran to current form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; suited by distances around 2m, likes sound surface, has run reasonably well on soft; exposed maiden. Remains winless but he arrives in decent nick; 5lb out of the handicap here though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (100/1 -203%)Kopa Kilana |
100/1(-203%) | (8) Kopa Kilana 100/1, Keen, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby most recent; effective at around 2m4f, acts on good; frustrating longstanding maiden, out of form for new yard. Is 0-29 over hurdles and only ninth at Wetherby 15 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

COSMIC SOUL has struck up a fine partnership with William Maggs, with the pair registering a quickfire course double last month. A 10lb hike obviously demands more of Patrick Neville's six-year-old, but he was successful on the level prior to that brace and is on a steep upward curve. Laddie Cooper Mia got closest to him last time, although she was seven and a half lengths adrift so a 9lb pull may not be enough for her to turn the tables. Knacker Trapper took a step forward at Newcastle, but needs to back that up.

Patrick Neville's thriving C&D scorer COSMIC SOUL is taken to deny Laddie Cooper Mia once more despite the weights turnaround.

(3) (9/4 +18%)Victory Shout |
9/4(+18%) | (3) Victory Shout 9/4, Improved down in trip to justify strong support landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m, acts on good; still plenty of mileage in mark judged on Flat form. Came good over hurdles when landing a gamble at Taunton last week; respected under penalty. |

(6) (11/4 +8%)Walk In The West |
11/4(+8%) | (6) Walk In The West 11/4, Improved down in class in first-time headgear on handicap debut when beaten 2l off this mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m, acts on good; could build on latest and go well. Second behind Victory Shout on handicap debut at Taunton last week; respected in rematch. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +58%)Lake Tiberias |
5/1(+58%) | (2) Lake Tiberias 5/1, Made too much use of on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good; more to come in handicaps ridden with restraint. Has form figures of 6666 over hurdles and he needs a transformation after a short break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 -56%)Prince Rhinegold |
7/1(-56%) | (9) Prince Rhinegold 7/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective around 2m, acts on good to soft and good; on a competitive mark still and can go well. Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he went close here last month; in the mix back up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +10%)Prairie Diamond |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Prairie Diamond 9/1, Below form after wind op well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; might come on for latest tried in visor. On workable mark but he flopped after wind surgery at Taunton last month; new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +0%)Mancero |
12/1(+0%) | (11) Mancero 12/1, Never in it from off the pace up in trip when fourth beaten 46l in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; effective 2m, may need easy ground; hard to fancy on recent evidence. Ex-French winning hurdler but he's struggled for current yard; needs a transformation. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -17%)Athena's Dream |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Athena's Dream 14/1, Again ran to moderate level comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time; blinkers first time; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft; type to do better now handicapping up in trip. 4yo filly who needs improvement upped in trip on handicap debut; blinkers added. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -67%)Eric Gorcombe |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Eric Gorcombe 20/1, Improved a little down in class on handicap debut when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 2m6f on soft; plenty more needed. Better effort on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f) but he needs to build on that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (20/1 -25%)Get In Order |
20/1(-25%) | (1) Get In Order 20/1, Never in it from off the pace when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Warwick most recent; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good; bounce back needed. Unexposed 6yo but he finished out the back on handicap debut at Warwick last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 -10%)Sawpit Sienna |
22/1(-10%) | (12) Sawpit Sienna 22/1, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton most recent; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good to firm; bounce back needed. 11yo who has not won in over two years and was tailed off at Taunton last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 +0%)Bread And Butter |
33/1(+0%) | (5) Bread And Butter 33/1, Outpaced, never threatened when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft and good; unreliable but has dropped to workable mark. His last win was 15 months ago and he's been out of sorts in last three runs; opposable. |

Victory Shout (winner) had the measure of WALK IN THE WEST (second) at Taunton last week, but must shoulder a 7lb penalty and it would come as no great surprise were that form reversed. Prince Rhinegold struck the woodwork here latest and it's quite possible that he will benefit from a return to further. The market can guide regarding Athena's Dream, who sports first-time blinkers for her handicap bow.

Preference is for VICTORY SHOUT who stayed on strongly when landing a gamble in a Taunton handicap last week.

Consistent in defeat in handicaps this season and likely to be on the premises again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 -33%)Princesse Milania |
10/3(-33%) | (3) Princesse Milania 10/3, No match for winner but ran to form up in class when second beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on soft, good; consistent. Hasn't really built on yard debut win in October, beaten 17l when second latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +56%)Shorten Sassy |
7/2(+56%) | (6) Shorten Sassy 7/2, Every chance, below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time; effective around 3m, acts on good to soft and good; inconsistent in short career. Isn't obviously getting closer to a first success despite falling in the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +38%)Belladinotte |
4/1(+38%) | (5) Belladinotte 4/1, Outpaced, too much to do, ran to form but unsuited by way race developed when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 3m, suited by good; running into form. Has a much more solid record than most of these and big player if primed after break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -150%)Mya Du Clos |
10/1(-150%) | (7) Mya Du Clos 10/1, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time; acts on good to soft; should improve now handicapping up in trip but needs to. Well beaten in three hurdles around 2m but more chance now handicapping up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -125%)Rosa Diaz |
18/1(-125%) | (1) Rosa Diaz 18/1, Mistakes, taken on up front and did plenty early well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon latest; effective 2m5f; point winner may improve for step up in trip. Yet to build on hurdle debut, including in a handicap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -175%)Venturevango |
33/1(-175%) | (4) Venturevango 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield latest where never threatened; likely to need more time, yet to show anything. No form of worth, including pulling up on recent yard debut; could only consider if backed. |

Briery Butterfly and Princesse Milania have been running creditably in defeat of late and can be expected to make their presence felt, but a chance is taken on MYA DU CLOS. Christian Williams' charge has yet to shine, but she steps up markedly in trip for this handicap bow and it's quite possible that she'll take a big leap forward.

Perhaps this is the day when BRIERY BUTTERFLY gets off the mark. Belladinotte could be a big threat if fully primed after a break.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -60%)Connells Cross |
4/1(-60%) | (1) Connells Cross 4/1, Still green in front, improved for debut experience when winning a Mares bumper here by 1/2l last time; effective 2m on good; should come on for latest, remain competitive. Cosily landed bumper over C&D 22 days ago; looks to have more to offer; leading claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 -14%)Mords Lavie Spigao |
8/1(-14%) | (7) Mords Lavie Spigao 8/1, Tunis gelding whose dam was unraced; stable has had winning newcomer in this discipline this year but probably best watched. Tunis gelding; possibilities on his debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +45%)Smart Order |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Smart Order 11/1, Order Of St George gelding; half-brother to Smart Bucks, very useful at 17f; yard does get winners here but probably best watched on debut. This Order Of St George gelding can't be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 +0%)Scopic |
25/1(+0%) | (3) Scopic 25/1, Telescope gelding whose dam was unraced; yard in flying form and can get winners here; watch betting. This Telescope gelding needs considering for his in-form stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -60%)Dolly Dior |
40/1(-60%) | (6) Dolly Dior 40/1, £1,000 Sir Percy mare; half-sister to a couple of Flat winners; yard does well here but may just need this experience. Sir Percy mare; the betting can prove an accurate indicator for this newcomer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -371%)Datstheholyallofit |
66/1(-371%) | (5) Datstheholyallofit 66/1, Showed minor promise on debut 12l fourth in a Mares bumper here first-time out; effective 2m, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience. Last of four in C&D bumper 22 days ago; this Snow Sky mare needs to take big step forward. |

Paul Nicholls has a tremendous record with the select team he has sent to Sedgefield so THE GEM STATE will hardly slip under the radar. The five-year-old was bought for 75,000 pounds after an encouraging second in an Irish point-to-point and he is expected to hit the ground running on his Rules bow. Connells Cross has already proven herself a useful bumper performer by winning here, although she is burdened with a penalty as a result. Smart Order is from the family of Lady Buttons so is the most interesting of the newcomers.

Jennie Candlish's CONNELLS CROSS had a bit up her sleeve when going in over C&D last month and she can follow up from The Gem State

Lingfield win followed C&D second; more needed off this mark but Keane takes over. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 +21%)Bye Bye Now |
11/4(+21%) | (2) Bye Bye Now 11/4, Improved suited by positive ride down in trip on handicap debut landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 5f, stays 6f, acts on AW; has been steadily progressive so far and remains well treated on maiden form here. Recent C&D winner on handicap debut; up 7lb but likely still has more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +0%)Jazzit |
11/2(+0%) | (3) Jazzit 11/2, Bit too free but ran to form back in a handicap beaten a length off this mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6f, all runs on AW; latest run probably reflects ability. Recent placings over 6f when keen; back in trip and cheekpieces fitted, should go well. |

C&D winner in October, bit to do off this mark and draw may not be ideal. |

Recent Wolverhampton winner; may need to settle better and wide draw a negative. |

(4) (10/1 +29%)Snowballs |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Snowballs 10/1, Again below form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; returning from a break; effective 5f, acts on soft, good; down in weights, not ruled out. Visor tried and Billy Lee takes over from 7lb claimer; don't rule out an improved showing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -9%)She's A Gift |
12/1(-9%) | (10) She's A Gift 12/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on AW; only competitive in low-grade handicaps, closely matched with a number of these on recent meeting. Best effort came on latest over C&D in January when staying on fourth; can't be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -57%)Whats It All About |
22/1(-57%) | (8) Whats It All About 22/1, May have found ground too testing down the field in a maiden at The Curragh most recent; bred to want further than 6f; one for longer distance handicaps. Nothing in 2yo maidens; can only be watched on seasonal debut in first handicap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -82%)Queen Of Newark |
40/1(-82%) | (11) Queen Of Newark 40/1, Made too much use of down the field in a nursery at Naas most recent; wide draw; sprint-bred, fast ground action; seems moderate. Reappearing 3yo may need this, although yard among the winners at the weekend. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -25%)Cooee Call |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Cooee Call 50/1, Did too much too soon in first time blinkers rushed up having missed the break down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; bred for sprinting; yet to show anything. Nothing for previous yard; cheekpieces replace blinkers on yard debut but best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -100%)Star Reign |
80/1(-100%) | (12) Star Reign 80/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; effective 5f on good; fair mark on spring maiden form, should build on return but bit to prove. Well held on yard/seasonal debut at Naas last month and now tries the AW. |

A course and distance winner on her handicap debut last month, BYE BYE NOW can follow up. The John McConnell-trained filly has been raised 7lb for that success but on the plus side, she actually races in a lower grade here. From a favourable draw, it's not too hard to envisage the four-year-old leading from pillar to post once again. An unlucky fifth over track and trip back in January, Sceitimini shouldn't be underestimated. Seamie Heffernan remains loyal to the Roger Sweeney-trained gelding, which could be a tip in itself. Recent Lingfield winner An Laochmor is another with leading claims in a competitive curtain raiser.

An Laochmor is likely to head the market but slight preference is for the less exposed recent C&D winner Bye Bye Now

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 +63%)Martial Law |
10/3(+63%) | (7) Martial Law 10/3, 6,000 euros Doyen gelding; dam a point and 3m hurdle winner; looks an unlikely winner on debut although worth a market check. Has decent standard to aim at on debut and he could be a longer-term prospect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -14%)Crock's Bottom |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Crock's Bottom 4/1, Telescope mare; dam a useful winner over hurdles and fences up to 3m3f; good stable does well here and this one needs considering. Out of a useful 2m4f-3m3f jumps winner; market should reveal expectations on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +45%)Posh Chick |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Posh Chick 11/2, Pulled up in a restricted point at Lower Machen latest; effective at 3m in points; had made a winning debut in points and retains some potential for rules having joined good stable. Won her first point but was pulled in the second one; bit to prove after another break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -60%)Beau Merle |
8/1(-60%) | (1) Beau Merle 8/1, Racinger gelding; dam a French 2m1f hurdles winner; tough enough task on debut with him conceding weight to all bar one. 24,000euros yearling; out of French hurdle winner and market should guide on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +64%)Lord Churchill |
9/1(+64%) | (6) Lord Churchill 9/1, Churchill gelding; half-brother to Lot Of Joy, smart at 21f; dam useful at 12f; tough enough task on debut even in an average race. Plenty to like on paper but yard has a modest strike-rate in bumpers in recent years. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +0%)Lissahane Lass |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Lissahane Lass 50/1, Bit keen but some promise in a Mares' bumper at Huntingdon only start; improvement needed to win but should take a step forward. 80-1 on Huntingdon debut last month and she finished a well-held seventh of 14. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (150/1 -355%)Blackmore Jack |
150/1(-355%) | (5) Blackmore Jack 150/1, Jack Hobbs gelding; half-brother to Gowan Pudsey, fair at 14f; tough enough task on debut and others preferred. Has fair target to aim at on debut and yard is not know for bumper winners. |

Beau Speed hit the woodwork at Fakenham and will prove popular on the back of that performance. Anthony Honeyball does well in bumpers and his point-to-point winner Posh Chick merits respect, but it is CROCK'S BOTTOM who shades preference. Joe Tizzard's string has been in decent form of late and there is more than enough in the daughter of Telescope's profile to believe she could play a leading role on her racecourse bow.

This looks a good opportunity for BEAU SPEED who showed plenty of promise with his debut second at Fakenham in February.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 -11%)Music Academy |
10/3(-11%) | (5) Music Academy 10/3, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Yarmouth; daughter of Kingman is related to some smart performers and open to marked improvement for top stable. Well held on 1m turf debut last autumn but in top hands and could leave that behind now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +0%)Lightkiss |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Lightkiss 4/1, 80,000gns Earthlight filly; half-sister to Many Tears, smart at 8f; dam very useful at 8f; likely go well on debut for good stable that can ready a newcomer. From a good stable and would enter calculations if the betting speaks in her favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (17/2 -89%)Rajwaah |
17/2(-89%) | (7) Rajwaah 17/2, Pinatubo filly; dam unraced sister to 10f Group 1 winner Nezwaah; good connections and should play a leading role on debut. Interesting newcomer for a yard no stranger to first-time-out success. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -167%)Light Dreamer |
12/1(-167%) | (3) Light Dreamer 12/1, 90,000 euros Lucky Vega filly; half-sister to Bolthole, smart at 10f; dam fair at 9f; probably need the experience but good stable can ready one. Half-sister to a French Listed winner and needs monitoring in the betting on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -50%)Divine Wish |
18/1(-50%) | (1) Divine Wish 18/1, Made normal improvement from debut when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden here latest; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on AW; possibly a little more to come. Stepped up on debut when fair fourth over C&D in January; may do better again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -213%)Society Charm |
125/1(-213%) | (8) Society Charm 125/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a novice at Chelmsford; speedily-bred and should improve although perhaps handicaps will be more her thing. 33-1 when well-held sixth on last month's Chelmsford debut. |

NANOSCIENCE appeals as the type who can improve as a three-year-old after progressing with each start last season. Andrew Balding's filly seemed to appreciate the drop to 7f when third at Newcastle in October and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for her to strike. Divine Wish outran her 80/1 odds when fourth over C&D in January and has to be on the shortlist along with Rajwaah, whose dam is an unraced sister to Group 1 winner Nezwaah.

Andrew Balding's NANOSCIENCE progressed with each start as a 2yo and gets the nod in an opener where the betting could be informative.

Recent C&D winner up 5lb but remains on an okay mark; Caffrey prefers over Clonmacash. |

9/1(-20%) | (5) Clonmacash 9/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here in January; too much to do having missed the break and met trouble fourth beaten 1 1/4l off 78 last time, 1lb lower here; top course trainer; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; in fair form. Not much luck in running behind Sporting Hero over C&D latest; rider now claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +64%)Beauty Queen |
9/1(+64%) | (3) Beauty Queen 9/1, Ran to recent level beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; generally consistent and handicapper given her a chance. Regressive and well beaten in two runs here this year; others more appealing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 -100%)Sporting Hero |
11/1(-100%) | (4) Sporting Hero 11/1, Improved on recent form back in a handicap in first time visor landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, appears best AW; largely consistent at this sort of level. Course specialist, making all to beat Inishfallen over C&D last month; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 -100%)Amemri |
14/1(-100%) | (11) Amemri 14/1, Returned to form benefitting from strong pace down in trip overcoming trouble landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f on a sound surface; remains well treated on old form, likes the track, could follow up. Recent 7f winner here; 6lb rise okay but may find this trip a bit sharp. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +11%)Dontspoilasale |
16/1(+11%) | (7) Dontspoilasale 16/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb higher mark here in January; did too much too soon up in trip and set it up for close Fourth in a claimer here latest; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; back below last winning mark but form has tailed off recently. 7f too far here last week, back to optimum trip but still more needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +43%)Edmond Halley |
16/1(+43%) | (12) Edmond Halley 16/1, Raced unfavourable near side beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Naas last time; plenty of speed in pedigree; improvement needed. Two handicaps on turf (soft/heavy) underwhelming; hard to fancy on AW debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -83%)I Bid You Ajou |
33/1(-83%) | (6) I Bid You Ajou 33/1, Below form, too slow away beaten 8l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; wide draw; acts on any, consistent over 6-7f; thriving last summer but likely to need this. Lacks a recent run but unexposed on AW; market may prove best guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -150%)Mc Loven |
50/1(-150%) | (9) Mc Loven 50/1, Made too much use of on stable debut down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; enjoys making it; best at 5f, stays 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; fair mark on UK form but needs to leave stable debut behind. Dropped out quickly after forcing pace on recent yard debut at Naas; best watched for now. |

Provided that he breaks on terms, CLONMACASH can reverse form with a pair that finished ahead of him last time. Having been slowly away, the Ado McGuinness-trained five-year-old had to wait for a run at a crucial stage before finishing off to good effect. Although there is an obvious concern that he could be tardy from stalls again, the son of Charming Thought could still be worth chancing. Inishfallen, who finished runner-up to Sporting Hero in that aforementioned contest, has definite claims from a favourable draw. While his modest win record is a slight worry, the gelding continues to run well in defeat. Sporting Hero has every chance of adding to that recent triumph despite being drawn widest of all.

There may be a bit of value to be had in CLONMACASH who got no luck in running behind Sporting Hero over C&D recently

Two solid efforts following a wind op in December, beaten a nose over C&D latest; chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +45%)Billy Mill |
6/1(+45%) | (5) Billy Mill 6/1, Some late gains when sixth beaten 4l off 69 last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; unreliable these days. 7f win here off this mark in January; hasn't matched it in four runs since. |

Just missed out at Chelmsford last month; solid contender off an unchanged mark. |

(2) (17/2 +29%)Caph Star |
17/2(+29%) | (2) Caph Star 17/2, Again well below form of novice win tried in new headgear beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective at 8f, acts on good and AW; remains to be seen what ability remains. C&D win in 2022; some promise on stable debut two weeks ago; eased in grade today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +39%)King Of Charm |
11/1(+39%) | (7) King Of Charm 11/1, Too keen up in trip finishing down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; drop in trip may help. Thrown in on 3yo form but struggled last year and he was tailed off in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -100%)Magical Merlin |
14/1(-100%) | (1) Magical Merlin 14/1, Ran well but no match for runaway winner when second beaten 6l in a handicap at Epsom latest; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; poor strike-rate but on fair mark for return. On a losing run but ran some good races in defeat last year; drops into first 0-70 today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 -100%)Chico Dulce |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -233%)Beta Reader |
40/1(-233%) | (8) Beta Reader 40/1, Never in it from off the pace when beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; effective 7-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Two good runs (1m2f) to kick off the year; had excuses last time; up in class/down in trip. |

PENFOLDS GRANGE went close to getting his head back in front when denied on the line over C&D at the end of February and compensation may await the four-year-old, despite a 2lb rise for that effort. Nordic Norm remains on the same mark as for his Chelmsford near-miss last month and has to enter calculations. Others to consider include Havana Touch and Magical Merlin.

Beaten just a nose at Chelmsford last month, NORDIC NORM can come out on top off an unchanged mark.

Just denied over 7f here in February; shorter trip fine, 4lb rise and wide draw not so. |

4/1(+33%) | (8) Royal County Glory 4/1, Game, ran to form beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; competitive mark. Solid C&D form at two; one to consider if strong in the market on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -11%)Faustyna |
5/1(-11%) | (5) Faustyna 5/1, Game effort on debut 3/4l winner in a maiden here on debut; that form franked; effective 6f, should get further, acts on AW; likeable and can improve, opening mark looks lenient. Surprise debut C&D maiden winner in February; opening mark looks workable, respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 -38%)Dream And Believe |
11/2(-38%) | (4) Dream And Believe 11/2, Bit below form on handicap debut but finished well, looked in need of further beaten 5l in a handicap at Naas last time; breeding suggests 7/8f should suit; may do better now stepped up in trip in handicaps. Eyecatching seasonal return at Naas; likely more to offer if handling surface. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +35%)Stone Bear |
13/2(+35%) | (6) Stone Bear 13/2, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark here penultimate start; off a short-break; effective 6f, yet to prove stays 7f conclusively, acts on yielding and AW; needs to settle. C&D winner in January didn't stay 7f last time; return to this shorter trip should suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -8%)Jampa Ling |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Jampa Ling 13/2, Bit below form on handicap debut, probably unsuited by drop in trip beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on AW; must bounce back but step up in trip will help. 5f didn't suit latest; 2lb lower and return to 6f could see him in the shake-up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 -20%)Lady Landhort |
12/1(-20%) | (11) Lady Landhort 12/1, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on AW; form of late win had knocks, will need to progress again. Showd inexperience when shock 33-1 C&D winner last month; 4lb rise fine and a contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 -80%)Cause I Like You |
18/1(-80%) | (12) Cause I Like You 18/1, Disappointing turf debut beaten 10l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; yet to show anything in handicaps though was well backed last time. Soft ground may have been against her at Naas last time; still others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 +18%)Dream Legend |
18/1(+18%) | (13) Dream Legend 18/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; returning from a break; yet to find suitable conditions; hard to fancy. Not discredited in C&D handicap in November and possibility of improvement off 3lb lower. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 -106%)Love Bomb |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Love Bomb 33/1, Needed run beaten 8l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 5f, acts on yielding, good; form of nursery win franked, not at best since. Didn't count on seasonal debut at Naas on soft; 7lb claimer replaced by Billy Lee. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -50%)Pretty Liz |
33/1(-50%) | (7) Pretty Liz 33/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 4 1/4l in a nursery here last time; effective 6-7f; inconsistent in short career. Absent since October however and watching brief advised. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -79%)Bullet Bourbon |
50/1(-79%) | (9) Bullet Bourbon 50/1, Far too free in front, did too much too soon up in trip, didn't get home down the field in a nursery here most recent; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 7f, acts with cut; inconsistent and unproven on AW. Well held on AW debut over a mile in December; best watched on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 -200%)Spirit Above |
66/1(-200%) | (10) Spirit Above 66/1, Found nil well beaten in a maiden at Naas latest; wide draw; sire sprinter, dam stayed 10f, acts on AW; likely a little more to come but needs it to figure on handicap debut. Failed to land a touch in C&D maiden in February; may yet do better and opening mark okay. |

A maiden winner over course and distance on her racecourse bow, FAUSTYNA could prove to be well handicapped. Gavin Cromwell's yard weren't firing on all cylinders in February, so it was perhaps notable that she was able to get her head in front. The form has since been franked by the second and third placed horses winning subsequently and a mark of 62 might be lenient with that in mind. Runner-up at this track on two occasions over the winter, One Cool Bear wouldn't need to improve a great deal to make the breakthrough. Lady Landhort, who beat her elders last time, is interesting back amongst her own age group.

It was an admittedly weak C&D maiden that FAUSTYNA won on her debut but nonetheless her opening mark looks tempting in this grade

13/8(+28%) | (5) Magic Trip 13/8, Similar level to debut when beaten 8l in Premio Gran Criterium (Group 3) at San Siro last time; effective at 8f on top course jockey/trainer combination; more chance at this level. Won on debut at Bath last September and tough task next time; firmly in calculations. |

11/4(-22%) | (4) Winding Stream 11/4, Very professional debut when 4l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; wide draw; effective 7f on AW; penalised now but fair chance of following up. Justified favouritism in good style on debut at Southwell last October; likeable prospect. |

(9) (16/1 +11%)Fizzy Bear |
16/1(+11%) | (9) Fizzy Bear 16/1, 30,000gns breeze-up purchase by Kodiac; related to a Graded-placed performer in US; dam smart at 8f; might need debut experience. Potential in pedigree; might be one for further down the line but check betting on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -52%)Dijon Gone |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Dijon Gone 50/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a novice at Bath only start; wide draw; bred to be effective around 7f; may do better when handicapping. No threat on sole 2yo start but returns with trainer in fine form; can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -164%)Bu Hail |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -100%)Pureis King |
100/1(-100%) | (2) Pureis King 100/1, Poor Flat debut when down the field in a maiden here most recent; effective a 2m in bumpers; looks one for handicaps over further. Form went wrong way in bumpers and well beaten over C&D last week on first Flat start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (150/1 +25%)Cribbins |
150/1(+25%) | (1) Cribbins 150/1, Similar level to Flat debut when fourth beaten 17l in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; bred to stay; more of a handicap sort. Down the field in both bumpers; same story when 150-1 for his two Flat starts (1m4f/9.4f). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (200/1 -100%)Claytons Kolatonic |
200/1(-100%) | (10) Claytons Kolatonic 200/1, Ran very wide home turn and lost all chance when 15l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; light-framed and poor action but open to improvement when handicapping. An outsider on both starts and has shown signs of inexperience when well beaten each time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (300/1 -200%)Tiny Tiger |
300/1(-200%) | (13) Tiny Tiger 300/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield only start; bred for 10f plus; major improvement needed. She showed no immediate promise when well beaten at 33-1 on recent debut at Lingfield. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (300/1 -50%)West Hill Rosie |
300/1(-50%) | (3) West Hill Rosie 300/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a Mares' bumper at Wincanton only start; difficult to fancy for now. Failed to settle and tailed off at 25-1 on last month's debut in a bumper at Wincanton. |

WINDING STREAM looked a decent prospect when scoring on his racecourse debut at Southwell and the son of Almanzor makes plenty of appeal on his return to action. Magic Trip found the step up to Group 3 company too much when sent to Italy after winning his first start at Bath. This contest should see him in a better light, while Balzac is entitled to be in the mix after a promising run at Newmarket in September.

Having made a promising start to his career when third in a warm maiden at Newmarket last September, BALZAC earns the vote on his return

5/2(-11%) | (5) Ocean's Breath 5/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten a length in an auction race at Navan latest; top course jockey; wide draw; effective 6f with cut; big player if fit after break. Showed promise in two Navan starts last October, this surface should suit, leading chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +61%)Allsortz |
7/2(+61%) | (1) Allsortz 7/2, Bit too free but ran to form 2l third in an auction race here most recent run; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 6-7f, acts on good; mark tough but competitive in this grade. Third over C&D in November, official rating of 76 is insufficient to suggest a likely win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +11%)Saint Agatha |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Saint Agatha 4/1, Below form, debut effort was better than this beaten 9 1/4l in a Fillies & Mares race at The Curragh last time; form franked at Group level, ought to be winning soon. From a family that has done well for the stable, ran twice over 7f at two, can win races. |

Ran out of steam late on debut, hooded now and drops back a furlong, could go close. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 +36%)Dun Aonghasa |
16/1(+36%) | (3) Dun Aonghasa 16/1, Churchill gelding; half-brother to Paladin, useful from 9f to 9f; dam very smart at 6f at 2yo; stable can get first time out winners in both codes; watch betting. Half-brother by Churchill to two winners, dam a French Listed-placed 2yo winner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 -82%)Salama Blue Point |
40/1(-82%) | (10) Salama Blue Point 40/1, Poor run on debut well beaten in a maiden at Naas only start; wide draw; from top yard but lots to prove. Solid pedigree; finished towards the back at Naas on only start at two, can do better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (400/1 -300%)Basilano |
400/1(-300%) | (2) Basilano 400/1, Missed the break and too green to show anything well beaten in a maiden at The Curragh only start; bred for sprinting; all to prove. Massive price when completely tailed off on debut at the Curragh, can be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (400/1 -100%)A Daughters Love |
400/1(-100%) | (6) A Daughters Love 400/1, Probably needed the run down the field in a maiden at The Curragh most recent; yet to show any worthwhile form. No sign of winning potential in four runs at two, no better at the Curragh on return.. |

Beaten no more than a length on both racecourse appearances as a juvenile, OCEAN'S BREATH can shed his maiden tag at the third attempt. A promising second on his introduction at Navan last October, the Ger Lyons-trained colt went on to finish fourth back at that same venue next time. Although he could have done with a more favourable draw, Colin Keane is sure to have him smartly into stride. Saint Agatha finished second on her debut at the Curragh before disappointing next time. She has to be respected if back to her best. Allsortz is another with solid claims for David Marnane.

Soft ground may not have suited OCEAN'S BREATH (nap) when a beaten odds-on favourite on his second start at two. He can make amends now

(3) (10/3 +26%)Shafi |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Shafi 10/3, Too keen and good effort considering when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Chelmsford last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; needs to settle better but consistent. Ran okay when third of four finishers on handicap debut last month; needs more back at 7f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -60%)Storm Point |

Promise last year, notably at Wolverhampton (6f); potential big improver in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -25%)Pints In Peace |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Pints In Peace 15/2, Ran to form when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton by 1/2l last time on stable debut; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; reliable and more to come for new stable. Didn't need to improve to make a winning stable debut last month; this race demands more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 +10%)Ahead Of Fashion |
18/1(+10%) | (5) Ahead Of Fashion 18/1, Struggled once again when well beaten in a nursery at Windsor latest; suited by 6f, acts on any; lost form of late. 0-8 as a 2yo and ended 2025 with two disappointing runs; up in trip for seasonal return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -120%)Black Endeavour |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -39%)Twilight Glow |
25/1(-39%) | (2) Twilight Glow 25/1, Below form beaten 8 1/2l in a nursery at Goodwood last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft; can do better than showed latest. Newbury 2nd last September a standout effort at 2yrs; needs to prove he's worth this mark. |

Lion of Mali arrives following narrow wins at Wolverhampton and over C&D. James Fanshawe's charge must be respected given the rate at which he's progressing, but preference is for SHAFI. A Southwell novice winner back in October, he failed to see out the mile at Chelmsford but can be seen to greater effecter over this trip. Pints In Peace broke the maiden at Wolverhampton, but Deluded wasn't disgraced in a valuable sales race at York when last seen and looks the bigger threat now handicapping.

Storm Point is an intriguing contender on his handicap debut but the progressive LION OF MALI is taken to complete a hat-trick.

(7) (18/5 -3%)Kitty Bear |
18/5(-3%) | (7) Kitty Bear 18/5, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form fourth beaten 3l off 45 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 7-9f, acts on heavy, good and AW; can be competitive. Just behind Comfort Line and in front Alex Belardo and Punk Poet over 7f here 12 days ago. |

(4) (4/1 +11%)Alex Belardo |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Alex Belardo 4/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; poor strike-rate but generally in good form. Has been showing consistent form at this venue, capable of getting into the money. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +11%)Master Garvey |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Master Garvey 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on any; poor strike rate but fair mark if building on latest couple of runs. C&D winner with modest strike rate, fair recent form over further, return to 1m will suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +36%)Comfort Line |
9/2(+36%) | (2) Comfort Line 9/2, Never threatened having missed the break beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; form in and out of late. No impact here last Friday, had several of these rivals when runner-up here a week earlier. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -13%)Punk Poet |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Punk Poet 9/1, Ran to current form beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; effective 7/8f, best on AW; out of form since autumn win, now 9lb lower. Six-time course winner, generally below his best since winning here last September. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -33%)Star Mind |
10/1(-33%) | (3) Star Mind 10/1, Ran to form just flattening out late over stretching trip beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f on yielding, good and AW; could build on latest down in trip. Dead-heating for third with Palazzo Persico in a claimer last week, more on his plate now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -10%)Mehmar |
11/1(-10%) | (1) Mehmar 11/1, Stopped quickly on unsuitable soft ground down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; suited by 6f, gets 7f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent and on long losing run. Placed only once (in a claimer) in seven outings at this venue since last October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 +33%)Alto Sax |
12/1(+33%) | (10) Alto Sax 12/1, Continued in poor form up in trip down the field in a handicap here most recent; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; bit to prove in current form. 2-14 turf, 0-11 AW, has failed to reach the first six in five visits since last October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -87%)Palazzo Persico |
14/1(-87%) | (5) Palazzo Persico 14/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; on workable mark but not one to rely on building on recent revival. Shared third with Star Mind last Friday, this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -79%)Deep Vein |
50/1(-79%) | (8) Deep Vein 50/1, Disappointing in first time headgear down the field in a handicap here most recent; best form at 7f on AW; out of form. Not an obvious candidate based on two recent runs here over contrasting trips (7f/1m4f). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -200%)Hi George |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Hi George 150/1, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap here most recent; acts on AW; yet to show anything. Poor overall form, never involved in a 6f handicap here on return from a long break. |

Nothing stands out on form in a field of exposed types and a tentative vote goes to the well-drawn ALEX BELARDO. The Belardo gelding finds it hard to get his head in front but ran several good races in defeat here over the winter and will benefit from his capable rider's 7lb claim. He was behind a couple of these over 7f last time, but this trip will suit better. Kitty Bear goes well for Orla Tynan and can contend again, while Punk Poet hasn't been at his best of late but is well handicapped as a result. Dead-heaters for third over a longer trip last week, Star Mind and Palazzo Persico are players as well.

C&D winner MASTER GARVEY may get another turn, with the drop in trip likely to help his cause after two fair runs here over further

6/4(+20%) | (2) Moment Of Light 6/4, Suited by step up in trip tried in tongue-tie and improved off a break when landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; suited by11f, acts on sound surfaces; could prove progressive. Emphatic winner over C&D latest; up 6lb but sort to go on improving; a big player. |

(1) (3/1 +14%)Parisian Scholar |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Parisian Scholar 3/1, Ran to form upped 3f in trip beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 8-11f, acts on good to soft and AW; entitled to come on a little from good return run. Excellent second to Moment Of Light over C&D; enjoys a 6lb pull so not taken lightly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +30%)Devil's Peak |
7/2(+30%) | (3) Devil's Peak 7/2, Failed to pick up over longer trip when fourth beaten 9l in a nursery at Newmarket latest; significant jockey booking; effective at 7/8f, should get further, acts on good; a little quirky but returns having been gelded and could do much better. Free-going juvenile maiden; since gelded and no surprise to see him take a step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -14%)Starship Trooper |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Starship Trooper 4/1, Ran to form up in trip when 5 1/2l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 10-12f on soft and AW; should do better now handicapping. Solid third in Southwell novice three weeks ago; can take a step forward now h'capping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -50%)Green Falcon |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Green Falcon 9/1, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten a short-head in a maiden at Yarmouth latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 7-9f on sound surface; big sort can do better now handicapping. Made the frame on all four runs at 2yrs; needs considering on first go in handicap company. |

MOMENT OF LIGHT (winner) had the measure of Parisian Scholar (second) when the pair met over track and trip last time and although a 6lb swing should favour the latter, it might not be enough. Starship Trooper shaped with promise on his return at Southwell three weeks ago and should be capable of better, as might Green Falcon, who sports first-time cheekpieces for his handicap bow.

A few with potential but it's difficult to side against James Owen's improving MOMENT OF LIGHT after his emphatic reappearance C&D win

7/2(+0%) | (5) Eretria 7/2, 420,000gns Camelot filly; half-sister to Desert Safari, smart at 5f; dam smart from 6f to 7f and won on debut; market can guide. Dam a well-related 6f winner, stablemate Emmeleia has the advantage of experience.. |

(3) (12/1 -41%)Cosmetic |
12/1(-41%) | (3) Cosmetic 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to similar level of form to debut well beaten in a maiden at Galway latest; well bred for top yard, could leave debut form behind. Superb pedigree, ground was testing for both 2yo starts, this surface may prove suitable. |

(9) (12/1 +40%)Zitkala Sa |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Zitkala Sa 12/1, 26,000gns Lucky Vega filly; half-sister to Starbright, smart at 8f; dam a 12f maiden winner; market should reveal more. Closely related to US turf winner Legend Emma, half-sister to six winners, dam 1m4f winner. |

(2) (22/1 -22%)Chicago Moon |
22/1(-22%) | (2) Chicago Moon 22/1, Made normal improvement from debut 3 1/2l third in a maiden here most recent run; middle-distance bred, stays 10f, acts on AW; probably bit to come. Third behind two colts here a month ago but this fillies' race could be stronger. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (100/1 -25%)Music And Song |
100/1(-25%) | (7) Music And Song 100/1, Looked unethusiastic down the field in a claimer here most recent; hood first time; yet to show any signs of ability. Has struggled in two outings over shorter trips at this venue, hooded now, safe to ignore. |

Some well-bred types in this line-up and EMMELEIA can build on a promising effort here in September. The daughter of Camelot had the benefit of barrier trial experience before finishing second to a useful type over 7f. The Irish Oaks entrant is a sister to last year's Lingfield Derby Trial winner and should be suited by stepping up in trip here. Yousaynothingatall's sister was second in last season's Irish Oaks and she should improve for this distance and a sounder surface after a fair run on heavy ground in the autumn. Cosmetic showed little in two starts as a juvenile but they were on heavy ground, while Believed is a half-sister to 2022 Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip.

Judged on a positive barrier trial display and a second placing over 7f here last September, EMMELEIA looks the clear pick.

Failed to progress for A Balding; drops in class on stable debut; headgear discarded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +27%)Corniche Girl |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Corniche Girl 4/1, Slightly wide trip and about to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5-8f, acts on sound surface, arguably better held up; in good form. C&D winner; solid effort off this mark 16 days ago (7f); each-way shout once more. |

(1) (7/1 -17%)Lovethiswayagain |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Lovethiswayagain 7/1, Tired badly and disappointing, perhaps sat too close to pace when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; effective 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; consistent prior to poor run last time. She hasn't progressed in novice/maiden events but makes handicap debut at a modest level. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -7%)Stock Market |
15/2(-7%) | (6) Stock Market 15/2, Minor late headway without looking that enthusiastic beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding, good and probably AW; ex-Ballydoyle, headgear may help. Down the field in two runs for new yard; gelded since the latest and Rossa Ryan booked. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +64%)Fullstop |
8/1(+64%) | (7) Fullstop 8/1, Well beaten and could not build on place effort from last time when beaten 10l in a maiden at Newbury last time; tongue-tie first time; sire sprinter, stamina on dam's side; big, attractive colt, can do better when relaxing. Signs of promise in three turf maidens last summer; has been gelded; likely improver. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/1 +0%)Runamara |
11/1(+0%) | (11) Runamara 11/1, Too much to do, ran close to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6f, acts on soft (not heavy) and sound surfaces; inconsistent but capable. More encouraging signs at Lingfield in February; now 3lb lower and could go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +11%)Chhota Saab |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Chhota Saab 16/1, Beaten soon as pace lifted and very disappointing when well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield latest; off a short-break; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; form has very much gone the wrong way and lot to prove. 0-7 and well short of his best on last two starts; down in class; gelded since latest run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 +0%)Anorah Unleashed |
22/1(+0%) | (10) Anorah Unleashed 22/1, Struggled when beaten 6l in a nursery at Chelmsford last time; effective 6/7f on soft, good and AW; drop in trip not certain to suit. Drops back in trip and into her first Class 6 handicap but improvement is essential. |

Arry Up beat MADMAN to make a successful handicap debut at Leicester back in October but hasn't been seen since, whereas the runner-up is battle-hardened from a winter on the all-weather. Tom Ward's C&D winner was pipped at Lingfield on his most recent appearance and his conqueror has followed up since. Lovethiswayagain is of definite interest now trying handicap company for the first time, and Corniche Girl should be in the thick of the action too.

He has an absence to overcome but ARRY UP won well on his handicap debut and remains capable of better. Runamara is feared most.

(7) (15/2 +38%)Expound |
15/2(+38%) | (7) Expound 15/2, Keen out wide ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 7-10f, may get bit further judged on hurdles form, acts on good, soft; consistent. Best form over shorter; 0-11 on AW and this trip could stretch him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +38%)Brandon Creek |
15/2(+38%) | (11) Brandon Creek 15/2, Ran to form beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-12f on soft, good and AW; in fair form but mark demands more. Didn't land a blow over today's trip latest; stamina remains unproven. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +27%)Billie Frechette |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Billie Frechette 8/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 12-16f; in good form in both codes but may just need this. Good year last season, market probably best guide on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -14%)Echinacea |
8/1(-14%) | (8) Echinacea 8/1, Bit too free and pulled way to front but ran to form beaten a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 9-16f, best form with cut and on AW; maiden in fair form until latest. Second in 2m amateur handicap here recently; one to consider with professional back on. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +36%)Breathe Again |
16/1(+36%) | (12) Breathe Again 16/1, Struggled again down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 10f, just about stays 12f; inconsistent maiden. Only second AW start and hard to have confidence in, despite reduced mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -27%)Yosemite Gold |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Yosemite Gold 28/1, Far too free on Flat return, needed run beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 10-12f; inconsistent in both codes. Fair bit to find with Sir Callisto on recent C&D run; hood now re-fitted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (50/1 -25%)Edge Of Darkness |
50/1(-25%) | (14) Edge Of Darkness 50/1, Never threatened well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 12-14f on a sound surface; poor form under both codes of late. Plenty to find on recent efforts, although has plummeted in the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (66/1 -136%)Liberate |
66/1(-136%) | (2) Liberate 66/1, Too slow away from the stalls down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; suited by 10f, acts on AW; has lost form in handicaps. Good wood novice winner bought for 5,000gns in December and best watched on Irish debut. |

After a layoff of more than five months, SIR CALLISTO ran well when third in a higher-grade contest over course and distance. Tony Martin's charge was a winner here last February and may come on enough from his reappearance effort to land this prize. Baila Conmigo is progressive and has only gone up 3lb for his victory over Beat The Devil here last time. That came over a shorter trip, but he should be more suited by 1m4f than his rival and can confirm the form. Brandon Creek scored here in November and should be all the better for an outing here five weeks ago, while Expound is another that will be sharper for a recent return to action.

In fine form since joining Ciaran Murphy, BAILA CONMIGO can confirm his recent win over Beat The Devil

33/1(-83%) | (8) Middleton View 33/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; hood first time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, standout efforts on AW; inconsistent but capable and now 3lb below last win mark. Not kicked on from his novice win in Deceember; now tried in a hood. |

Em Four kept Brazen Idol at bay to strike over C&D, although the second was appearing for the first time in almost two years and is 2lb better off. Even so, they may both have to settle for supporting roles behind STATE OF MADNESS, who beat Em Four to the runner-up berth at Southwell and has since left Charlie Clover to join Mark Loughnane. Ruby Red Gove lost nothing in defeat when attempting to supplement a Wolverhampton victory at Southwell and she rounds out the shortlist.

He needs the cards to fall right but EXPERT AGENT (nap) is handicapped to win and this race should be run to suit.
Ths is the racecard key.
