1st (7) (1/1 +0%)Senator |
1/1(+0%) | (7) Senator 1/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a 4yo hurdle at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m and appears to hold leading claims on that evidence; should find a race soon. Placed in his two hurdle starts, latest when runner-up at Chepstow three weeks ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/8 +27%)Macshadow Des Crai |
11/8(+27%) | (5) Macshadow Des Crai 11/8, Tired late but ran to form when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft; his French bumper form received a big boost in the UK and he holds strong claims down in class. Faded when 13l fifth in juvenile at Ascot last month; this is easier; leading stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/2 +13%)My Kinda Ghaiy |
7/2(+13%) | (6) My Kinda Ghaiy 7/2, Still green and made mistakes but ran to form when 16l third in a 4yo hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2m on soft and good, and improvement is likely if his jumping sharpens up. Placed in both hurdles starts, latest when third at Wetherby last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (25/1 +0%)Knighton |
25/1(+0%) | (2) Knighton 25/1, Bit free but improved from his debut when fourth, beaten 19l, in a 4yo hurdle at Wetherby last time. Usually held up, effective at 2m and acts on soft; probably one for handicaps after this. Fourth at Wetherby on second hurdles start last month and holds place claims.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (80/1 -21%)Lets Go Mo |
80/1(-21%) | (8) Lets Go Mo 80/1, Green and made mistakes when comfortably held on her debut in a 4yo hurdle at Warwick last time. Showed inexperience throughout and may need more time to learn her job. Beaten 34l when sixth of seven on hurdle debut at Warwick last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (50/1 -127%)Louie The Legend |
50/1(-127%) | (4) Louie The Legend 50/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap at Kempton last time. Had been in good form prior to that and returns from a short break, but is hard to recommend on recent evidence. Dual winner on the Flat at 7f/1m; makes hurdle debut and is one to keep an eye on.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (150/1 -200%)Law Degree |
150/1(-200%) | (3) Law Degree 150/1, Forced wide from a poor draw and finished down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently. Trainer is in form but he has plenty to find here and faces a stiff task. Jumps debut, modest on Flat; probably best watched unless the market speaks in his favour.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (125/1 -150%)Flagstone |
125/1(-150%) | (1) Flagstone 125/1, Far too free and needed the run when well beaten on hurdle debut in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and may require more time to develop over hurdles. Eighth on stable/hurdles debut at Musselburgh last month and big improvement required.. |

SENATOR built on a promising British/hurdling debut to fill the runner-up spot at Chepstow three weeks ago and could be hard to beat if improving again. My Kinda Ghaiy probably took a backward step at Wetherby but it's far too early to be writing him off, as it is with Nicky Henderson's Macshadow Des Crai, who didn't run too badly at Ascot.

The best hurdles form has been shown by SENATOR who can get off the mark here. Macshadow Des Crai is the main danger.

1st (3) (6/5 +0%)Khrisma |
6/5(+0%) | (3) Khrisma 6/5, Ran to form but was out-battled late under a poor ride and should have won when second, beaten a short-head, in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Trainer in form and off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on soft; sets the standard and is tough to beat. Beaten a short head by Watamu at Huntingdon in December but is 7lb better off.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +0%)Charisma Cat |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Charisma Cat 7/2, Did it cosily when winning a novice hurdle at Chepstow by 2l last time, benefitting from a drop in class; cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft; could be well treated on these terms on her debut effort. Got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Chepstow three weeks ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/2 +54%)Watamu |
13/2(+54%) | (5) Watamu 13/2, Yard won this race last year; ran to form, settling much better, when winning a novice hurdle at Huntingdon by a short-head last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; consistent in her short career but may struggle to confirm that form. Beat Khrisma (who is now 7lb better off) by a short head at Huntingdon in December.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 -88%)Getawhisky |
15/2(-88%) | (2) Getawhisky 15/2, Did it cosily and ran to form when winning a novice hurdle at Windsor by 3 1/4l last time. Form of previous run boosted. Effective at 2m and suited by decent ground; progressing and likely to improve for a step up in trip in time. Got off the mark over hurdles at Windsor last month on her first time on soft ground.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (10/1 +9%)Trinity Street |
10/1(+9%) | (10) Trinity Street 10/1, Rallied and improved for her debut experience when second, beaten 2l, in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m and may improve for further in time. She has run two solid races over hurdles, latest when second at Chepstow three weeks ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/1 +50%)Edith Pelham |
7/1(+50%) | (6) Edith Pelham 7/1, Made a very promising debut when 2 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick on her most recent run. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and should be winning over hurdles soon but this a big ask. Made a most encouraging hurdles debut when third of 14 finishers at Warwick last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (200/1 -60%)Redeeming Love |
200/1(-60%) | (8) Redeeming Love 200/1, Improved from her debut when stepped up in trip but was comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time. Point form suggests further could suit, but she needs more. Well beaten in both hurdles starts and this looks a tough assignment.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (28/1 -40%)No Tricks At All |
28/1(-40%) | (4) No Tricks At All 28/1, Made a very promising debut when winning a novice hurdle at Worcester by 1 1/4l last time with Getawhisky in behind. Returning from a break; effective at 2m on good ground and holds a good chance in this. Won on hurdle debut at Worcester in October but yet to run on soft ground.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (200/1 -60%)Midnight Bella |
200/1(-60%) | (7) Midnight Bella 200/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. Likely to need more time and further than 2m over hurdles. Well held in two runs in bumpers and a couple over hurdles; needs more time.. |

Watamu was getting 7lb from Khrisma when holding on for a narrow win at Huntingdon and she's likely to struggle to confirm that form but, even so, preference is for GETAWHISKY. Dan Skelton's mare fell at Ascot in November, but put that behind her to record a cosy success at Windsor and it's quite possible that she'll find further progress. Chepstow winner Charisma Cat arrives with a fair chance, and don't rule out Edith Pelham, who made a pleasing hurdles debut at Warwick.

It may pay to side with KHRISMA who is a leading contender on hurdles form and can get her revenge on Watamu.

1st (3) (9/4 +36%)Personal Ambition |
9/4(+36%) | (3) Personal Ambition 9/4, Made mistakes and was unlucky in this race last year, and was well held by less exposed rivals when comfortably held in the Noel Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Ascot last time. Blinkers are fitted first time; effective over 2-2 1/4m and acts on good to soft; needs this drop in class but must bounce back. Flashes of good form over fences; poor last time but now goes in new blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/5 +30%)Quebecois |
2/5(+30%) | (4) Quebecois 2/5, Travelled well and was out-battled up the hill when well placed in a race dominated from the front, finishing second beaten a nose in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. The trainer is in form; effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on soft and good ground; in form over fences. May ideally want further but could be tough to peg back down in trip. Big run last time; surprising to see him back at 2m but the ground will be testing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (25/1 -14%)Leading Choice |
25/1(-14%) | (2) Leading Choice 25/1, Found nil when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Haydock most recently and returns from a long layoff. Effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good ground; his hurdle form had tailed off when last seen. Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner; has a long absence to overcome on his chasing debut. |

QUEBECOIS was out of his depth in a Grade 2 at Sandown, but that performance is sandwiched between a couple of promising seconds. The latest saw him denied by the narrowest of margins on Trials Day at Cheltenham and he can boost his confidence before a potential return there next month. Personal Ambition has lost his way, but the application of blinkers could help him recapture the form that saw him claim Grade 2 glory as a novice hurdler. Old Cowboy struck over C&D before a Kempton fall, but concedes weight to higher-rated opponents.

It could pay to risk PERSONAL AMBITION in the new blinkers as he has flashes of smart form over fences.

1st (4) (9/2 +18%)Scottish King |
9/2(+18%) | (4) Scottish King 9/2, Ran to form in first-time cheekpieces when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m and suited by a sound surface; a maiden under rules but arrives in fair form. Placed for the third time this term when third at Sedgefield last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/2 -7%)Worth The Walk |
15/2(-7%) | (6) Worth The Walk 15/2, Improved down in trip when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective at 2m; a point winner who could build on that latest effort. Pulled up in her first two chases; showed more when second over C&D 16 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|R| (1) (13/2 +41%)Bobalot |
13/2(+41%) | (1) Bobalot 13/2, Ran to form when 17l third in a handicap hurdle at Southwell on his most recent run; a strong stayer at 3m who acts on any ground. In fair form and consistent, if a touch frustrating over hurdles, and unexposed over fences. Back over fences after a couple of failed attempts in November 2023.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (2/1 +27%)Alltalknoaction |
2/1(+27%) | (3) Alltalknoaction 2/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces when beaten a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form and off a short break. Effective at 2m4f-3m and acts on GS; improving and on a fair mark based on hurdle and chase form. Yet to get his head in front but just denied late on when runner-up over C&D in December.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (15/8 -50%)Florita |
15/8(-50%) | (5) Florita 15/8, Did it cosily and improved again when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on S and G; in form since the switch to fences and remains ahead of mark. Has found her mark over fences, winning twice around here over 2m3f.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (80/1 -100%)Quickasican |
80/1(-100%) | (2) Quickasican 80/1, Needed the run and may not have handled conditions when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces worn for the first time. Effective at 2m-2 1/2m and acts on S and GS; fairly treated on old form but needs to prove ability remains after a lay-off. Makes belated chase debut after being well held over hurdles three weeks ago.. |

Florita made it two from three over fences when keeping her unbeaten course record intact recently. She does have stamina to prove at this longer trip, though, so it might be wiser to side with ALLTALKNOACTION. The six-year-old hit the woodwork over C&D on Boxing Day but did pull well clear with the winner, meaning a 4lb rise could be lenient. Alice Stevens got a tune out of Worth The Walk last time and she won't be far away if reproducing those levels.

The mare FLORITA is 2-2 around here over fences and promises to stay this extra distance. She can take care of Alltalknoaction.

1st (6) (9/2 -29%)Lancelot Allen |
9/2(-29%) | (6) Lancelot Allen 9/2, Needed the run when down the field in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Grade 1) at Cheltenham most recently. Returning from a long layoff, effective at 2m and acts on soft; bumper winner who should have more to offer over hurdles but may just need this. Bangor winner before finishing down the field at 200-1 in the Champion Bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +27%)Galashiels |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Galashiels 4/1, Improved from his debut when a 12l third in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton most recently. Effective over 12-16f and suited by cut; showed useful form in France where a Listed winner on the Flat and should be winning soon over hurdles. Smart Flat form in 2024; beaten about 11l into third last time at Wincanton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (125/1 -56%)My Boy Aaron |
125/1(-56%) | (10) My Boy Aaron 125/1, Never threatened when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good. Consistent in bumpers but has a bit to prove over hurdles. Quite promising in bumpers; tailed off in two maiden hurdles but has had a wind operation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 +0%)Fouroneohfever |
9/1(+0%) | (2) Fouroneohfever 9/1, Had too much to do under a poor ride when second, beaten 13l, in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest. Effective over 12f-16f, best on sharp tracks, and a useful middle-distance handicapper on the Flat who should have more to offer over hurdles. No match for an easy winner at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -17%)Let's Love |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Let's Love 14/1, Very promising on debut when third, beaten 2l, in a juvenile hurdle at Compiegne. Effective at 2m1f and acts on heavy; showed promise in France and is worth a market check on stable debut. A close third over hurdles in France (heavy) back in late 2024; bought for £85,000. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (11/1 +21%)Mulinas |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Mulinas 11/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster latest. Trainer in form; effective at 2m and suited by cut. Point winner who showed promise in bumpers but needs to prove his ability remains after a layoff. Point/bumper form respected; quiet debut over hurdles and the hood is removed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (80/1 -21%)Seeking Charles |
80/1(-21%) | (11) Seeking Charles 80/1, Below form and up in class when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently. Off a short break and has a lot to find on that showing. Placed on the Flat without winning; should have the stamina for hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (250/1 -67%)Back On Track |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Back On Track 250/1, Outpaced and outclassed when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Plumpton latest. Showed promise in points but has plenty to prove under rules on the back of that effort. Placed in points but has shown precious little in two runs over hurdles; this is no easier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 +52%)Lully Du Houx |
16/1(+52%) | (8) Lully Du Houx 16/1, Improved from his debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m on soft and good, and further improvement is likely. Had two runs over hurdles, beaten 14l at Hereford (good) and 21l at Huntingdon (soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (5/4 +69%)Giantsgrave |
5/4(+69%) | (4) Giantsgrave 5/4, Travelled well and ran to form but found little when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time. In good form prior, effective over 2-2 1/2m and on soft and good to soft; consistent bumper winner and this drop in trip should suit. Beaten favourite in his two maiden hurdles but won a bumper and can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (150/1 -436%)Global Fortune |
150/1(-436%) | (5) Global Fortune 150/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Lisronagh by a nose last time. Returning from a long layoff, the point winner has joined a yard better known for Flat exploits. It was probably a modest Irish point (3m, yielding) in which he dead-heated in November. |

TALAKAN has taken well to jumping and built on his Ascot third when touched off at Ludlow. The Toby Lawes-trained juvenile receives weight all round and can continue his forward momentum. Lancelot Allen has been off since beating just one home in the Champion Bumper, but his Bangor defeat of a now 118-rated hurdler makes him of interest on his return. Galashiels and Fouroneohfever are decent Flat recruits who are getting the hang of hurdling, while Giantsgrave is much better than he showed at Ffos Las.

The 4yo TALAKAN is receiving weight off his elders and the Ludlow runner-up won't be fazed by these testing conditions.

1st (6) (10/1 +38%)Pretending |
10/1(+38%) | (6) Pretending 10/1, The yard won this race last year. Returned to form off a reduced mark, getting racing early when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest. Effective over 2 1/2m, dropping in the weights and needs to build on that run. Exposed mare; not been at her best this season but on a good mark now; conditions fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 +26%)Railway Bell |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Railway Bell 10/3, Improved for a ready win when landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good. Progressive and likely to get a bit further in time. Ex-Irish pointer; progressive hurdles form and now tries 2m4f for the first time; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 +45%)Just Her Type |
6/1(+45%) | (3) Just Her Type 6/1, Landed a handicap by a length off an 8lb lower mark at Southwell on her penultimate start. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good. Progressive and open to further improvement, but this mark demands it. Progressive form since wind op with two handicap wins over 2m4f this term; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/1 -64%)Snowrocco |
9/1(-64%) | (5) Snowrocco 9/1, Travelled strongly and did it easily when improving again to land a handicap by 5l off a 9lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good. Looks a much better horse now wind fixed and can improve again. Two wins at 2m7f/3m following wind surgery this term; career-high mark and down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (8/1 +0%)Rosie Baloo |
8/1(+0%) | (11) Rosie Baloo 8/1, Got first run on the runner-up and improved when winning a novice hurdle at Sedgefield by 5l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good. Form has had knocks but progressing over hurdles. Bumper winner; won five-runner mares' novice last time; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (22/1 -83%)Gaelic Saint |
22/1(-83%) | (9) Gaelic Saint 22/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth beaten 12l in a novice hurdle at Ludlow latest. Trainer in form and now off a short break. Effective over 2-2 1/2m and acts on heavy and good. Can do better. Two fair runs over hurdles this season and has an each-way chance on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (18/1 -13%)Service Minimum |
18/1(-13%) | (12) Service Minimum 18/1, Ran to form but did not pick up on unsuitably testing ground when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest. Effective over 2 1/2m and acts on good. This mark demands more. Two wins in the summer; has found life tougher since; today's ground not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -83%)Mermaids Cave |
33/1(-83%) | (2) Mermaids Cave 33/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham latest when beaten. Effective over 2m to 2m2 1/2f but on a stiff mark. Has won seven races, but has been below par since winning claiming hurdle in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (12/1 -20%)Presenting Doy |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Presenting Doy 12/1, The yard has won 2 of the last 9 runnings of this race. Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ascot latest and now off a short break. Stays at least 2m4f and further may suit better. Acts on heavy and her better form came on good. Progressing before latest. Three good runs over hurdles last term; conditions suit; interesting following wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 +29%)Looking As You Are |
10/1(+29%) | (7) Looking As You Are 10/1, Ran to form when second beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham latest. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m and acts on soft and good to soft. Generally consistent. Ludlow winner off this mark last term; fair form this season including when 2nd last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (33/1 +0%)Belle Le Grand |
33/1(+0%) | (10) Belle Le Grand 33/1, Made mistakes and was below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest. Enjoys making it and is off a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good. Looking flattered by novice form and struggling of late. May need a step up in trip. Ex-Irish; two wins over 2m in May; hasn't progressed; first run at 2m4f and first on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (11/4 -22%)Madame Luna |
11/4(-22%) | (8) Madame Luna 11/4, Keen, travelled and idled before doing it readily when improving up in trip to win a novice hurdle at Doncaster by 2l last time. Off a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to firm. Form franked and progressing, may be holding a bit back. Looks ahead of mark. 3-3 over hurdles, best form when winning 2m3f mares' novice last time; h'cap debut; player. |

Although the strength of the form is up for debate, MADAME LUNA is now three out of three and that should not be underestimated. The daughter of Sea The Moon steps into handicaps from a mark of 110, which looks fair, and her jumping is a real asset. Railway Bell went clear up the run-in at Ludlow so is likely to do even better upped in trip. The hat-trick seeking Snowrocco might still be ahead of the handicapper, despite a further 9lb hike.

In what looks a competitive handicap the unbeaten MADAME LUNA (nap) is taken to make it 4-4 with Railway Bell her main threat.

1st (2) (5/2 -33%)Swindon Village |
5/2(-33%) | (2) Swindon Village 5/2, Was a bit free and tired late on up in trip but ran to form when beaten 13l into third in a novice hurdle at Windsor on his most recent run; effective at 2m4f and acts on soft. Steadily progressive, with further improvement likely in handicaps. Made all over this trip at Leicester; 3m looked too far in a good novice at Windsor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 -29%)Boultydoolin |
9/2(-29%) | (3) Boultydoolin 9/2, Improved when winning a maiden point at Quakerstown by a length last time. Returning from a long layoff; a point winner who has joined a yard capable of getting debut winners. Recruited for £95,000 after narrowly winning a Quakerstown point; in at Cheltenham. |

3rd (1) (5/6 +17%)Bobby's Nelson |
5/6(+17%) | (1) Bobby's Nelson 5/6, Improved up in trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las by 3 1/2l last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts with cut. Steadily progressive and remains competitive under a penalty. Building a likeable profile and he's still entered in the Turners at Cheltenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 0%)Dante's Rocco |
22/1(0%) | (4) Dante's Rocco 22/1, Produced a promising effort when third, beaten 5 1/2l, in a maiden point at Dromahane on debut; all to do on rules debut. Sold for £55,000 soon after finishing third in a 12-runner Irish point in early December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (66/1 -32%)Mymilkman |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Mymilkman 66/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Lingfield on his latest start and is off a short break; effective at 3m in points. Has a lot to find. Runner-up in two points but no positives to take from his two runs over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (250/1 -150%)Stavanger Rose |
250/1(-150%) | (6) Stavanger Rose 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Bandon on her latest start and is returning from a long layoff; tongue-tie fitted for the first time. Showed nothing in a point and has all to prove. Bought for £1,200 after pulling up in an Irish point a year ago. |

SWINDON VILLAGE accounted for a subsequent winner at Leicester and then acquitted himself well behind two smart prospects at Windsor. Charlie Longsdon's inmate has been given a couple of Cheltenham engagements and while that may be flying too high at present, he is promising. Bobby's Nelson is in the Turners at the Festival and is the logical danger following his deserved breakthrough at Ffos Las. Boultydoolin cost 95,000 pounds after winning an Irish point-to-point and has been given a speculative Albert Bartlett entry.

There's not a lot between BOBBY'S NELSON and Swindon Village and preference for the selection is only marginal. He stays well.

1st (8) (5/2 +50%)Aire Spray |
5/2(+50%) | (8) Aire Spray 5/2, Yard won this race last year; ran to form when tried in cheekpieces and finished second, beaten 4l, in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest. Off a short break and effective around 2m4f; in fair form since his return. Gradually working his way back to form this season but has never attempted this far before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +33%)Tzarmix |
4/1(+33%) | (2) Tzarmix 4/1, Scored by 6 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Ludlow three starts back. Effective over 3m and acts on decent ground; back in form and remains well treated on his best efforts. Twice runner-up since his impressive Ludlow return in December; bang there once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (15/8 +6%)Little Ledgend |
15/8(+6%) | (7) Little Ledgend 15/8, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Taunton last time. Effective up to 2m2f-2m4f and acts on soft and good; possibly more to come over further. 0-8 under rules, but shapes as though this stiffer test should suit; much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (20/1 -43%)Campaign Trail |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Campaign Trail 20/1, Well below form when tried in blinkers and well beaten in a handicap on the Flat at Nottingham latest; had been in good form prior. Returning from a break and shapes as though he will get further. Not seen in four months but has a fine record fresh and remains unexposed as a hurdler. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -100%)U S Marshall |
20/1(-100%) | (4) U S Marshall 20/1, Green, made mistakes and was outpaced, never threatening when down the field in a novice hurdle at Haydock most recently. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy; should improve for further than 2m in handicaps and mark looks fair. Winning pointer; up in trip for handicap debut and interesting to see what the market says. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (15/2 +46%)Seahouses |
15/2(+46%) | (11) Seahouses 15/2, Ran to form when 7 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle here most recently, with a good ride taking closer order early. Effective from 2m4f-3m and acts on good to soft and good; progressing. Dual course winner, but still 6lb above the latest; soft ground or worse poses a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 +44%)Has Troke |
14/1(+44%) | (5) Has Troke 14/1, Raced lazily but ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; had been in good form prior. Effective over 3m and acts with cut; arrives in fair form. Back down in class and suited by a stamina test; conditions are likely to be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (25/1 -14%)El Saviour |
25/1(-14%) | (3) El Saviour 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; blinkers worn for the first time. Effective at 2m5f and acts on soft; has pointing experience and is a hurdles winner but needs to prove his ability remains after a lay-off. 2-5 over hurdles but failed to take to fences after returning in December; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (40/1 -150%)Ribeye |
40/1(-150%) | (9) Ribeye 40/1, Outpaced and outclassed up in grade when well beaten in a handicap chase at Newcastle latest; had been in good form prior. Off a short break; suited by 3m and acts on soft and good; fair mark on chase form but others preferred. Bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

Parish Quiz burst back into life when upped to this sort of trip in the mud at Newcastle, although he isn't guaranteed to back it up so preference is for LITTLE LEDGEND. Olly Murphy's six-year-old has had to settle for second as favourite on his last two appearances, but he lost nothing in defeat and is fancied to break through. Tzarmix is holding his form well, and Aire Spray shouldn't be far away either.

Given the way he has been shaping the longer trip may unlock more improvement from the stoutly bred LITTLE LEDGEND.

1st (9) (15/8 +75%)As The Fella Says |
15/8(+75%) | (9) As The Fella Says 15/8, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 14l, in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective over 2-3m and arrives in form. Only a 7yo and it's been a fairly solid start over fences, from 2m4f to 3m1f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 -50%)Major Fortune |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Major Fortune 9/2, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on any going. Could have a bit more to offer now he has had his head in front over fences. Won comfortably over further (on soft) at Wincanton when in the new cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/1 +18%)Sheldon |
9/1(+18%) | (8) Sheldon 9/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 11l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective over 2m4f-3m and acts on soft and good to soft. Holds a chance in this. Second to an unexposed winner over C&D latest; can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (17/2 -31%)Good Friday Fairy |
17/2(-31%) | (3) Good Friday Fairy 17/2, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Exeter on his penultimate start. Outpaced but ran to form and wanted a slightly stiffer test when third beaten 5l off 123 last time, same mark here. Enjoys making it and is consistent. All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times; now returns to further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 +64%)Jupiter Des Bordes |
8/1(+64%) | (6) Jupiter Des Bordes 8/1, Won by a head off a 14lb lower mark at Warwick three starts ago. Below form in a better race when tenth beaten 26l off 120 last time, same mark here. Effective over 2m4f-3m and had been steadily progressive until his latest run. Failed to fire at Windsor a month ago but this mark isn't beyond him if back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/2 +0%)Havaila |
7/2(+0%) | (7) Havaila 7/2, Travelled and ran to form but tied up late having looked the winner, needing the run when beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective over 2m3f-3m2f and consistent. Should come on for that latest outing and drop back in trip a plus so looks a leading contender. Has course form and was second over 3m4f at Windsor on return from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 +29%)Saint Palais |
20/1(+29%) | (1) Saint Palais 20/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Off a short break, he is effective around 3m and acts on soft. On a fair mark based on old chase form but remains inconsistent. Belated return to fences and recent hurdling exploits leave him with much to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (16/1 -60%)Happy And Fine |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Happy And Fine 16/1, Won by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Warwick on his penultimate start. Effective over 2m4f-2m5f and suited by plenty of cut. Remains well treated on old form but is not one to rely on. 3-13 over fences, the last win in December off 4lb lower; unseated midrace last time. |

The application of cheekpieces (retained) worked the oracle for MAJOR FORTUNE at Wincanton and he is fancied to repeat the dose from 5lb higher. Brave Kingdom made a bold bid from the front at Taunton and is more than capable of another big run. Havaila finished third at Windsor to Neo King, who went on to post a fine effort in the Grand National Trial at Haydock. With that in mind, he could be the biggest threat.

It's been a solid start over fences for AS THE FELLA SAYS (nap), his third at Cheltenham two runs back a particularly good effort.

1st (6) (4/1 -14%)Eric Carmen |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Eric Carmen 4/1, Improved back up in trip when landing a handicap by 3/4l off this mark at Wetherby last time; enjoys making it; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on any; found form of late and can go well back over fences off a generous mark. Equally adept over hurdles and chases, he has been in winning form over hurdles this term.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +25%)Windsurfer |
6/1(+25%) | (1) Windsurfer 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 19l into third in a handicap chase at Wincanton on his most recent run; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on good to soft and good; yet to match his hurdle form but still early days and appears to be improving. Won twice over hurdles at Uttoxeter but yet to show the same level of form over fences.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 +8%)Singapore Trip |
11/2(+8%) | (4) Singapore Trip 11/2, A bit below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Catterick latest; effective around 2m4f and acts on any ground; generally in good form over hurdles and mark looks fair. Fifth win over hurdles at Wetherby in October; first run over fences since 2022.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (13/2 +35%)Gilbertina |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Gilbertina 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase here on her latest start; off a short break; effective over 2m-2m4f and suited by decent ground; inconsistent but goes well at Market Rasen. Took a backward step when pulling up here on third chase start in December.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6/4 +0%)Tramuntana |
6/4(+0%) | (3) Tramuntana 6/4, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 7l, in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; cheekpieces on for the first time and off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m; in good form, needs a stiff test but a threat if getting it switched to fences. Has produced two solid efforts in defeat over hurdles this term and makes chasing debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 -140%)Tom Creen |
12/1(-140%) | (2) Tom Creen 12/1, Up in trip and did not stay in a strongly run race when well beaten in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good; generally consistent. All five wins over fences have been at Sedgefield; best to wait until he returns there.. |

ERIC CARMEN has won two of his three starts since returning and teaming up with Ben Macey, with those victories coming over the smaller obstacles. He hasn't been quite as effective in this sphere, but is able to compete from the mark from which he struck at Wetherby most recently and can take full advantage. Windsurfer is also well treated over fences and drops in class, although Tramuntana could be the bigger threat, with cheekpieces applied for his chasing debut.

While Tramuntana may be a different proposition now that he tackles fences, it is hard to get away from the free-running ERIC CARMEN

13/8(+35%) | (4) Knight Of Magic 13/8, Poorly placed off a steady pace behind the all-the-way winner when beaten 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Usually held up; effective over 9-13f; can be competitive back up in trip. Two classified wins last month before slowly run 1m2f race no good to him latest; new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 +58%)Annandale |
10/3(+58%) | (1) Annandale 10/3, Below form back down in trip beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; effective 10-14f, acts on GS, GF and AW; mark falling, running into form until latest. Conditions shouldn't be an excuse but he was down the field over 1m4f here last night. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (80/1 -220%)Itsgottobefun |
80/1(-220%) | (10) Itsgottobefun 80/1, Again below questionable maiden level when tried in blinkers and comfortably held in a handicap at Ffos Las last time. Plenty to prove back from a break. Unplaced in all six starts at up to 1m4f; new, longer trip not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 +0%)Bloodhound |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Bloodhound 14/1, Again below form when beaten 10l in a classified race here last time. Effective over 10-12f; inconsistent and needs more than of late. 23-race maiden; recent efforts not his best and others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +0%)Moon Over The Sea |
7/1(+0%) | (2) Moon Over The Sea 7/1, Again below form when tenth, beaten 13l off 55 last time, and 1lb lower here. Top course trainer; effective over 9-14f; bounce back needed. 1m3f win last month followed by two heavy defeats; this C&D winner has bounced back before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (22/1 -38%)Nakatomi |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Nakatomi 22/1, Found little and was well below form when beaten 6l in a classified race here last time. Effective over 10-12f; form going the wrong way. 14-race maiden; down in the weights but not really threatening of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (3/1 -85%)Spaceage Love Song |
3/1(-85%) | (5) Spaceage Love Song 3/1, Produced his best form since 2024 when winning a classified race here by 2l last time. Trainer in form; effective over 10-12f; chance back in a handicap and up in trip. Won a 1m4f classified race here last week; penalty demands more but new trip could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 -106%)Black Smoke |
33/1(-106%) | (8) Black Smoke 33/1, Won this race last year; disappointing finishing effort when comfortably held in a classified race here last time. Effective over 14-16f; has lost form. Conditions to suit and he won a division of this race last year; out of sorts this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (33/1 -175%)Lednikov |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Lednikov 33/1, Again below form, well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest. Enjoys making it; effective over 12-14f; plenty to prove at present. Big chance on 2025 best; well beaten twice this year; market likely to be the best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (33/1 -65%)Man Of Riddles |
33/1(-65%) | (7) Man Of Riddles 33/1, Did not find much having raced freely when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break; suited by 16f; out of form. Over two years since his last win and he is yet to fire this winter; risky once again. |

Joe Bradnam got a good tune out of SPACEAGE LOVE SONG here last week and the way Michael Bell's gelding saw out that race, he should relish the extra couple of furlongs and can defy his penalty. Being held up over a mile and a quarter didn't suit Knight Of Magic at Lingfield, but he stuck his neck out to prevail over 1m4f here before that and is a danger on that evidence. Black Smoke won a division of this 12 months ago and runs off 5lb lower following some ordinary efforts.

The betting should be revealing but, as things stand, KNIGHT OF MAGIC is tentatively preferred to recent winner Spaceage Love Song.

10/3(+17%) | (2) De Kingpin 10/3, Had every chance and ran to form when third beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here on his most recent run. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and on a fair mark but inconsistent. Appreciated return to hurdles when third in a big field here over; 2m4f perhaps better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 -43%)One Eye On Vegas |
10/1(-43%) | (1) One Eye On Vegas 10/1, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Leicester on his penultimate start; below form when sixth beaten 21l off 113 last time and 2lb lower here. Effective around 2m4f and acts on Hy and S; in good form until latest, though the handicapper may have caught up. Wincanton was disappointing but remains on a fair mark if he can shrug aside that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/1 +9%)Balboa |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Balboa 10/1, Outpaced but ran to his current form when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on S and G; easing in the weights but unreliable and stamina to prove. Following a break he was beaten about 10l in 1m7f/2m3f handicaps on his last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (16/1 +0%)Gustapof |
16/1(+0%) | (11) Gustapof 16/1, Stopped quickly and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Off a short break and stays 2m1f, acts on heavy and soft; fairly consistent at a useful level over hurdles and fences in France but yet to fire for his new yard. Ex-French gelding; nothing as yet for current yard but he's back on softer ground here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 -38%)Luwdvig |
11/1(-38%) | (8) Luwdvig 11/1, Scored by 4 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Lingfield on his penultimate start; ran to form when third beaten 7l off 105 last time and is off the same mark here. Effective at 2m-2m5f, acts on S and G; progressive in handicaps. Lingfield winner but found nothing for pressure when then beaten 7l at Plumpton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (16/1 +52%)Teorie |
16/1(+52%) | (10) Teorie 16/1, Poorly placed off a steady pace behind the all-the-way winner and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Usually held up; effective at 2-2 1/2m and acts on S, GS and G; inconsistent. Has basically become a bit disappointing and he's not shaping like a winner in waiting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (22/1 +12%)Cast's Tasha |
22/1(+12%) | (5) Cast's Tasha 22/1, Below form and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective from 2m3f to 2m6f and acts on S; her mark looks high enough. Has the form to feature but hard to be confident after her last two efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (7/2 +30%)Glance Of Glory |
7/2(+30%) | (3) Glance Of Glory 7/2, Made mistakes but ran to form, just tiring late when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Trainer in form and off a short break; effective at 2-2 1/2m, barely gets 3m, and acts on S and G; improving. Hat-trick bid came up short but he can jump better than he did at Aintree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (8/1 +60%)Close Combat |
8/1(+60%) | (4) Close Combat 8/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m1f, acts on Hy; may have more to offer but his mark looks stiff. Hasn't looked on a good mark in his two handicaps and that could still be the case. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (9/2 -13%)Robber's Bridge |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Robber's Bridge 9/2, Travelled strongly and did it readily, well treated off an unchanged mark when landing a handicap by 11l off a 7lb lower mark at Exeter last time. Effective from 2m3f to 2m6f and acts on any ground; steadily progressive and may have more to offer over this longer trip. Career best at Exeter; respected off 7lb higher with heavy ground no issue for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (12/1 -20%)Tyson |
12/1(-20%) | (12) Tyson 12/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kempton on his most recent start. Effective at around 2 1/2m; struggling for his new yard but fair mark on Irish form and needs this step back up in trip. Down the field in two h'caps for Dan Skelton; market watch needed with Harry taking over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (33/1 -371%)Painted Wolf |
33/1(-371%) | (9) Painted Wolf 33/1, Improved under a positive ride but was comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time. A point winner who may do better over further in handicaps. Ran surprisingly well in a novice here last time and raised in trip for handicap debut. |

It was much more like it from De Kingpin when third here last month and it's possible that a drop in trip will play to his strengths, but GLANCE OF GLORY gets the vote. Martin Keighley's charge didn't jump well at Aintree but, to his credit, he was still in contention two from home. Both of his wins have come at this sort of trip and although there are some doubts regarding testing ground, he won't be far away if handling it. Robber's Bridge is another to consider.

De Kingpin is feared but GUSTAPOF could easily leave his British form behind now back in the mud that suited him so well in France.

2nd (5) (22/1 -38%)Superior Queen |
22/1(-38%) | (5) Superior Queen 22/1, Made a modest debut when beaten 24l into fourth in a maiden bumper at Uttoxeter on her first start; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; plenty more needed. Her fourth at Uttoxeter (good/soft) was remote and will need to take a marked step forward. |

At 12-1 he showed definite ability to finish fifth of 12 at Aintree; should be wiser now. |

4/1(-233%) | (4) Freeriding 4/1, El Kabeir filly; full-sister to Giddyupadingdong, very useful at 14f; dam was very smart at 5f at 2yo; stable has excellent record in bumpers; likely to go well. Flat bred but she is the sister of a bumper winner and represents a powerful yard. |

Freeriding has a speedy Flat pedigree so while the trip has to be a slight concern, Olly Murphy has a good record in bumpers here so she commands attention. Even so, JESSMARVEL showed a decent level of ability when fifth at Aintree, with a couple of those in front of him tackling Listed company next time. That experience gives him the edge and Superior Queen also has a run under her belt, although she must take a step forward from her Uttoxeter fourth.

The newcomers need checking in the betting but JESSMARVEL has the benefit of experience and it was an okay run at Aintree.

1st (4) (5/2 -108%)Forglen |
5/2(-108%) | (4) Forglen 5/2, Hampered when closing and had too much to do afterwards, but improved on recent form when second at Southwell last time. Effective over 12-16f and the mark looks generous. C&D winner who has run well on his last two starts; another big run is expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 -8%)Belle Of Kt |
7/1(-8%) | (7) Belle Of Kt 7/1, Took a step back in the right direction when beaten 2l into third in a classified race here last time. Effective over 10-12f but has stamina to prove over this longer trip. 0-6 but third in a classified event here eight days ago; possibilities if building on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/4 +50%)Rosco Rogers |
9/4(+50%) | (3) Rosco Rogers 9/4, Did his best work late and ran to form when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 10-12f and now on a competitive mark. 0-11 under rules; not bred to appreciate the longer trip, but shapes as though it may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 -15%)Ignition |
15/2(-15%) | (6) Ignition 15/2, Ran to form when tried in a visor, finishing 4l third in a classified race here on his most recent start. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Effective over 8-12f and remains a maiden. 0-14 but in the frame in classified races last month; cheekpieces on; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 +65%)Queensland Boy |
7/2(+65%) | (1) Queensland Boy 7/2, Too keen and made late gains when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Off a short break and effective over 12-17f. Back on his last winning mark and holds claims if settling better. On the same mark as for both wins last May and is 1-1 at 0-55 level; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 +20%)Lion City |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Lion City 40/1, Outpaced when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a maiden at Kempton on his most recent start. Effective at 2m in bumpers. Has lost enthusiasm and is yet to show anything on the Flat. Has shown nothing in four starts for this yard; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 -100%)Pride Of Nepal |
14/1(-100%) | (2) Pride Of Nepal 14/1, Never a threat when upped in trip and comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Represents a top course trainer. Effective over 9-12f but has stamina to prove over this distance. Losing run is up to 19 despite a sliding mark; still has stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (150/1 -275%)Stoneacre |
150/1(-275%) | (9) Stoneacre 150/1, Found little and produced a poor effort when down the field in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 8-10f on this surface but hard to make a case for. 0-12 and little to suggest his maiden status is close to ending. |

FORGLEN had to settle for second when attempting to supplement a Lingfield success at Southwell, but that performance looks much better in hindsight thanks to the winner going in again twice. The five-year-old remains on a workable mark and is preferred to Rosco Rogers, who was only beaten a length and a half into fourth last time and can do better for the step up in trip. Ignition is back in handicap company after a couple of solid efforts in classified events.

The vote goes to QUEENSLAND BOY who is back on his last winning mark and is 1-1 in 0-55 company.

1st (5) (9/2 +0%)Star Of Honour |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Star Of Honour 9/2, Rallied gamely and improved down in class under a positive ride when second, beaten 2l in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 3m in points, acts on soft and good to soft; a type to do better now handicapping up in trip. Perhaps flattered in her latest novice but she's up in trip for this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +67%)Springs A Girl |
4/1(+67%) | (1) Springs A Girl 4/1, Disappointing when stepped up in trip on her hurdles return, well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Off a short break; effective over 2 1/2-2 3/4m and generally consistent over hurdles. Has the form to feature off this mark but current wellbeing an issue back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 -29%)Kosasiempre |
9/2(-29%) | (3) Kosasiempre 9/2, Made mistakes but ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Usually held up and off a short break; effective over 2 3/4-3m, acts on soft and good; in form and on a fair mark on chase form. Returns to hurdling off a useful mark and she's won twice in this discipline. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/4 0%)Katie's Melody |
7/4(0%) | (4) Katie's Melody 7/4, Travelled well but was still green and made mistakes under pressure when improving on her final qualifying run, finishing 8l third in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. Trainer in form; effective over 2-3m, acts on any; can progress again now handicapping. Good run in her final novice and longer trip should assist now in her first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/4 +0%)Harmony Heights |
11/4(+0%) | (2) Harmony Heights 11/4, Ran to form when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces worn for the first time. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good, and may get further; latest form franked and more to come over staying trips in handicaps. Second on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) and may well have more to offer. |

HARMONY HEIGHTS has been consistent since switching to hurdles and a maiden triumph looks sure to come sooner rather than later. Fergal O'Brien's mare advertised her claims with a creditable second at Lingfield and can outstay her rivals in the newly-applied cheekpieces. Katie's Melody was no match for a couple of decent types at Wincanton, but moves into handicaps with heaps of potential. Kosasiempre is worth a second look back over timber.

Harry Derham's horses are running well and KATIE'S MELODY can join the party on her handicap debut.

1st (4) (9/2 -100%)Woodhay Whisper |
9/2(-100%) | (4) Woodhay Whisper 9/2, Ran to form when third, beaten 4 1/4l off 63 last time and is 2lb lower here. Effective over 5/6f and acts on AW. Has been consistent on the whole. C&D winner in November; some fair form since but recent efforts need bettering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/6 +70%)Water Of Leith |
4/6(+70%) | (2) Water Of Leith 4/6, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 5/6f and probably acts on any surface. Holds a chance once again. Conditions to suit and he has been threatening of late, going close over C&D last night. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 -33%)Spendmore Lane |
4/1(-33%) | (6) Spendmore Lane 4/1, Did her best work late when upped in trip, beaten 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Effective over 5/6f and respected. 0-14 but her two runs in an eyeshield have been promising; slow starts make her risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -56%)Punchbowl Flyer |
28/1(-56%) | (5) Punchbowl Flyer 28/1, Stopped to nothing when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective over 5/6f. His last run needs forgiving. Chance on last summer's turf form; well beaten on recent return to action. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 -50%)Darn Hot Time |
12/1(-50%) | (3) Darn Hot Time 12/1, Was a bit keen and did not get home despite a drop in trip when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. The trainer is in form and she wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Others look stronger. Free-going filly; has not fired for new yard but the addition of a tongue-tie could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -273%)White Umbrella |
28/1(-273%) | (1) White Umbrella 28/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective over 6/7f and acts on AW. Might need this run and remains 6lb above her last winning mark. Conditions to suit and she returns from a break in a modest race; one to consider. |

SPENDMORE LANE has been improved by the application of an eye-shield, going under by less than a length over 5f here before a solid Lingfield fourth. In a race that won't take much winning, David Loughnane's filly gets the vote ahead of Woodhay Whisper, who had Punchbowl Flyer well in arrears when making the frame over C&D. White Umbrella is worth a look on her return, while Water Of Leith is an obvious contender if turned out quickly following Monday night's engagement here.

This looks trappy but SPENDMORE LANE is capable of winning a small race and is tentatively preferred to White Umbrella.

1st (6) (13/2 -30%)Oscar Nominee |
13/2(-30%) | (6) Oscar Nominee 13/2, Frankel filly; half-sister to 11f Group 3 winner Cheshire Academy; dam very useful at 9f. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and could have a say. Half-sister to a Group 3 winner out of a Listed winner; stable in form; market revealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 -33%)Too Hot To Tango |
4/1(-33%) | (7) Too Hot To Tango 4/1, Made good late headway up in trip when about to form, beaten 5l into third in a novice at Kempton on her most recent run. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time; effective at 7/8f and acts on AW. Consistent rather than progressive; now steps up in trip with headgear fitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/4 +50%)Bintkend |
6/4(+50%) | (1) Bintkend 6/4, Similar level to her debut when fourth, beaten 5l, in a maiden at Haydock latest. The trainer is in form and this longer trip may suit. Promise in two Haydock runs last season; solid form claims and open to further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (40/1 -264%)Five Moons |
40/1(-264%) | (4) Five Moons 40/1, Made late headway up in trip when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l, in a maiden at Kempton latest. Stays 11f, may get further and acts on AW; should progress again. Second run was a good step forward; dropping in trip is not sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (13/2 -63%)Safe Idea |
13/2(-63%) | (2) Safe Idea 13/2, Too keen off a break but good effort given that when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Kempton latest; effective 8-9f, acts on AW; consistent and should come on from return run. 4 encouraging runs at up to this trip; should give a good account but vulnerable to 3yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (3/1 +40%)Free Yourself |
3/1(+40%) | (5) Free Yourself 3/1, St Mark's Basilica filly; half-sister to four winners, most notably 10f Group 3 Berlin Tango; dam top-class at 8f; one to consider on debut for top yard. Half-sister to four winners out of a Group/Grade 3 winner; lots to like on pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (200/1 -300%)Echo Valley |
200/1(-300%) | (3) Echo Valley 200/1, Outpaced once the race developed when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton on her only start. There is plenty of stamina on the dam's side but improvement is needed. 33-1 and always behind in a 1m3f fillies' maiden at Kempton four weeks ago; best watched. |

Too Hot To Tango has been expensive to follow on the all-weather so far and although she's likely to run her race, first-time cheekpieces will need to have the desired effect. That's quite possible, but newcomer FREE YOURSELF is related to a number of useful types and with the Andrew Balding team in good form, it would come as no surprise were she good enough. Bintkend contested a couple of warm Haydock events last term so can't be ruled out, despite the weight. Oscar Nominee is worth a second glance too.

Bintkend looks a likely improver this year but the well-bred FREE YOURSELF may be able to make a winning debut.

9/2(+10%) | (6) Second Collection 9/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3/4l in a classified race here latest; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface, may not like give; competitive mark still back in a handicap. Not beaten far on her last three starts; multiple course winner; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 -50%)Forever Noah |
9/4(-50%) | (1) Forever Noah 9/4, Run of race, ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; trainer in form; effective 6-8f, acts on G and AW; more consistent of late. 16th time lucky when making all at Chelmsford nine days ago; more needed to defy penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 +15%)Some Nightmare |
11/2(+15%) | (3) Some Nightmare 11/2, Below form and did not get home when back up in trip, beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; had been in good form prior; wide draw; effective at 5/6f; bounce back needed. Pick of this year's efforts bring him right into the reckoning; apprentice's claim useful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (25/1 +0%)Symbol Of Hope |
25/1(+0%) | (8) Symbol Of Hope 25/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 5/6f; bounce back needed. Not the force of old and his recent efforts need bettering if he is to take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 -67%)Colors Of Freedom |
5/1(-67%) | (4) Colors Of Freedom 5/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l in a classified race here last time; effective at 5f; chance if repeating that latest effort. Second in six of last eight starts, the latest here on Friday; should remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 -82%)Snow Boots |
40/1(-82%) | (9) Snow Boots 40/1, Too keen but showed his best form in quite some time when beaten 3l in a classified race at Chelmsford last time; only runs over 5/6f; hard to fancy. Latest Chelmsford 5th was better but he's an exposed maiden maiden; others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (3/1 +75%)Captain Kinsella |
3/1(+75%) | (2) Captain Kinsella 3/1, Below form when tried in blinkers, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f; has lost form and a wind operation has not helped. No better for the drop into a 0-55 last week; others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (25/1 -108%)Coco Hill |
25/1(-108%) | (5) Coco Hill 25/1, Did her best work late after a slow start on her first run since a wind operation, beaten 2 1/2l in a classified race here last time; wide draw; effective at 5/6f; chance if building on that. Ran okay last week after a break and wind op; needs more to end her long losing run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (100/1 -203%)Poet |
100/1(-203%) | (7) Poet 100/1, No-show from off the pace when down the field in a classified race here most recently; effective at 6/7f; out of form. Failed to beat a rival in his last five starts; drops in trip with plenty to prove. |

With most of these having something to prove, a confident vote goes to FOREVER NOAH. Joey Ramsden's charge was reeled in late on over this trip at Chelmsford before going one place better over 6f there and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big run, especially with Alex Jary taking 3lb off his back. The admirably consistent Colors Of Freedom won't be far away, nor will Second Collection, who is partnered by the excellent Myla Coppins for the first time.

Myla Coppins has made a flying start to her career and may be able to win on SECOND COLLECTION in a race that should be run to suit.

9/2(+55%) | (1) Baker Blue 9/2, Bit too free in the early stages up in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective at 5/6f, former may suit best, acts on Y, G and AW; fair chance back down in grade. 6f novice win on stable debut in December; creditable handicap efforts since; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +45%)Fortification |
11/4(+45%) | (2) Fortification 11/4, Had few excuses on handicap debut when beaten 5l into third in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 5f; novice form may flatter but it is still early days. C&D win on 3rd novice start; not so good switched to handicap last month; still early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/1 +0%)Flash Rascal |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Flash Rascal 4/1, Ran to form down in trip when beaten a neck off this mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f and consistent if exposed. Latest C&D 2nd up there with best form; major player, especially if getting away on terms. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -127%)Duskaura |
25/1(-127%) | (4) Duskaura 25/1, A bit below form when beaten 6l in the St Hugh's Stakes (Fillies' Listed) at Newbury last time. Top course trainer and interesting on handicap debut for a new yard. Two defeats in Listed races following a Ripon maiden win; needs more on stable/h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 -20%)Justmyluck |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Justmyluck 6/1, Pulled quite hard but was always in command and improved down in trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6f, suited by 5f; a very reliable sort. Made all dropped to 5f for handicap debut last month; up 6lb but far from exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (17/2 -89%)Grey Horizon |
17/2(-89%) | (3) Grey Horizon 17/2, Set slow fractions, had run of race and to form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 8lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, will stay 7f if settles better, acts on G and AW; very likeable attitude and go well again. Having a purple patch but 6lb penalty for last week's narrow win may leave him vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/3 -11%)Filly Foden |
10/3(-11%) | (6) Filly Foden 10/3, Progressing, improved again landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 12lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface, goes well off front; in excellent form. Hit hard for recent Lingfield win; needs clear personal best to follow up in a better race. |

Grey Horizon has been a winning machine since the turn of the year, but he's 8lb higher for just a narrow Southwell victory and it might be that FILLY FODEN holds the stronger claims. Rod Millman's filly took 16 attempts to get off the mark but it didn't take her long to go in again and although a hefty 12lb higher now, she looks worth sticking with while confidence is high. Justmyluck is next best.

It's a competitive race but JUSTMYLUCK remains open to further progress at 5f and is preferred to Flash Rascal and Baker Blue.

16/1(-14%) | (6) American State 16/1, Found little in a new headgear combination when well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; off a short break and has since undergone a wind op. Effective at 7/8f but has a bit to prove after a string of poor runs. Made all on handicap debut at Newbury last summer, but has regressed since; had a wind op. |

2nd (2) (4/1 -78%)Mr Nugget |
4/1(-78%) | (2) Mr Nugget 4/1, Travelled strongly and finished well to land a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form. Effective at 10-12f, suited by the latter, consistent and can run well off his new mark down in trip. Most consistent on the AW in recent months and bids for a hat-trick; likely to go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/4 +32%)Corundum |
9/4(+32%) | (8) Corundum 9/4, Travelled and ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective from 8-10f; still a maiden but capable. 0-14, but chased home a subsequent winner over C&D six weeks ago; a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (7/1 -100%)How's The Guvnor |
7/1(-100%) | (7) How's The Guvnor 7/1, Yard won this last year; best work late, bit below best third beaten 5l off 62 last time, 3lb higher here; effective 6-8f, acts on AW; chance if turned out again quickly. In good form on Tapeta since November (332113); up another 3lb so still needs a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 +55%)Starliner |
9/2(+55%) | (5) Starliner 9/2, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time, having been in good form prior. Effective over 7-10f but a bounce back is needed. Ran with credit when fourth over 9.5f here last month; each-way claims from the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (16/1 -60%)Kaaranah |
16/1(-60%) | (10) Kaaranah 16/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective over 8-10f, with 9f possibly his sweet spot, but hard to fancy on recent evidence. 2-33 and recent efforts leave plenty to be desired, but has dropped to a favourable mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (22/1 -57%)Sceptic |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Sceptic 22/1, Found little and was well below form, not staying when down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent. Effective over 7-10f and a drop in trip may help. Last two wins have come over 9.5f/7f here; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (25/1 -14%)Age Of Baroque |
25/1(-14%) | (1) Age Of Baroque 25/1, Failed to settle and was well below form in a new headgear combination when down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford most recent; has since undergone a wind op. Effective at 7f and has a bit to prove back from a break. Down in class on return from five months off having undergone wind surgery; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/1 +29%)Eagle Day |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Eagle Day 10/1, Too keen when upped in trip and finished down the field in a handicap here most recent. Effective over 8-10f and suited by AW, but out of form, although he did attract some money last time. Has failed to beat a rival in all three starts since returning to the AW in September. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (40/1 -82%)Moby Quick |
40/1(-82%) | (4) Moby Quick 40/1, No-show from off the pace when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Effective at 6/7f but has been erratic and out of form. Has failed to live up to his name in two starts here since joining this yard. |

MR NUGGET tends to only win by a narrow margin so the handicapper hasn't been too harsh. Victorious by a short head on his penultimate start before going in by a neck over C&D, David Simcock's charge was worth more than that and he is expected to defy a further 3lb rise. How's The Guvnor wasn't able to complete a hat-trick last time and it might be that Corundum poses a bigger threat to the selection.

Despite a record of 0-14 it may be worth siding with CORUNDUM who chased home a subsequent winner off this mark over C&D last month.

9/4(-13%) | (1) Imola 9/4, Ran to form when second beaten 2l off 59 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 7-9f; fair mark still and this trip may suit. Arrives in good form but her stamina has to be taken on trust. |

2nd (7) (5/2 +9%)Silkies Sib |
5/2(+9%) | (7) Silkies Sib 5/2, Ran to form second beaten 2l off 55 last time, same mark here; effective 9-11f, acts on S, G and AW; respected once again. Beat Scenario here on Boxing Day; placed all three runs since; should be involved again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 0%)He's Our Cracker |
12/1(0%) | (4) He's Our Cracker 12/1, Below form up in trip on handicap debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces first time; bred for 7f; stamina to prove. No better for handicapping at Newcastle last month; low mileage but needs headgear to work. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/4 +63%)Naughty Niall |
11/4(+63%) | (6) Naughty Niall 11/4, Found little, below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 10-12f, acts on GS, GF and AW; bounce back needed. 1m4f win here in November & went close over C&D last month; below par at Southwell latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (28/1 -133%)Sands Of Havana |
28/1(-133%) | (5) Sands Of Havana 28/1, Bit wide and found little when tried in blinkers, beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 7-10f; bounce back needed. 0-11 and her last two starts have been disappointing; needs to raise her game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (13/2 -8%)Scenario |
13/2(-8%) | (9) Scenario 13/2, Lacked pace down in trip when fourth beaten 7l off 54 last time, 1lb lower here; top course trainer; effective 7-9f; considered. Two good C&D runs around the turn of the year; not at the same level on last two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (80/1 -344%)Appetiser |
80/1(-344%) | (2) Appetiser 80/1, Again below form on handicap debut when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7f; step up in trip worth a shot. Modest form at up to 7f; dam a winner at the trip; still has time to do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (25/1 -39%)Lightningboltzoom |
25/1(-39%) | (8) Lightningboltzoom 25/1, Below form and well beaten in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 8-11f; needs more but well treated if he can recapture his best. Well beaten in two runs for new trainer this year; down in weights but carries risk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (33/1 -200%)Charming Fellow |
33/1(-200%) | (3) Charming Fellow 33/1, Well below form when tried in cheekpieces and comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; returning from a break and making all-weather debut. Chance on best form for former stable; market useful after a 117-day break; AW debut. |

Imola has maintained a fine level of consistency during a busy winter and found just one too strong off this mark at Southwell last week. She has yet to fully convince with her stamina for this sort of distance, though, whereas SILKIES SIB has been performing well in defeat over further and was successful the last time he encountered this track and trip. Scenario was alongside him that day and then pipped Naughty Niall, although her two subsequent efforts haven't been as good.

A trappy race in which NAUGHTY NIALL is tentatively preferred to Silkies Sib.

(1) (5/4 +23%)Galaxy Wonder |
5/4(+23%) | (1) Galaxy Wonder 5/4, Scored by a nose off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form when third beaten 3l off 59 last time, 1lb lower here. Top course trainer; effective 7-10f, with the longer trip suiting better; capable off this mark back up in trip. C&D win on Boxing Day; beaten favourite but run okay over 1m twice since; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +27%)Revich |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Revich 4/1, Below form when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time, having been in good form prior. Effective 7-10f; can be competitive off this reduced mark. Ended 2025 in good order; not at best last time but holds each-way claims in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -120%)Wave Rock |
11/2(-120%) | (6) Wave Rock 11/2, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective around 10f on AW; maybe more to come. Improved when 4th over C&D on handicap debut in December; open to improvement; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +31%)Ana Emaraaty |
11/2(+31%) | (3) Ana Emaraaty 11/2, Below form when eighth beaten 9l off 57 last time and runs off the same mark here. Effective 8-16f; longer trip a plus and remains well treated on best efforts. 7f win last month was followed by a poor run one week later; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +0%)Ciotog |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Ciotog 9/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective up to 10f; more needed than of late but the handicapper is relenting. Two course wins; mixed bag this winter and others appeal more for win purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -38%)Tiger Beetle |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Tiger Beetle 22/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; usually held up. Effective over 10f; below par since returning from a layoff. Struggled for current yard but down in weights and the return of headgear could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 -21%)Read All About It |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Read All About It 40/1, No-show from off the pace upped in trip down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective around 8f, acts on GS, GF and AW; needs more but worth remembering early promise. Promise in maiden/novice company but poor form since handicapping; headgear now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -21%)Ciara Storm |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Ciara Storm 40/1, Stopped quickly when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Off a short break; poor maiden and looks up against it. 21-race maiden who ended 2025 quietly; others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (250/1 -1686%)Princess Jastar |
250/1(-1686%) | (8) Princess Jastar 250/1, Never threatened having missed the break when down the field in a handicap at Brighton most recently. Returning from a break; out of form in handicaps. Two heavy defeats for new yard last autumn; up in trip with headgear fitted. |

Tony Carroll hasn't taken long to work GALAXY WONDER out and after sharing the spoils here on Boxing Day, the four-year-old has twice performed with credit as the 2/1 favourite. Returning to Dunstall Park is in his favour and the handicapper may have been hasty in dropping him 1lb. Ana Emaraaty dug in to prevail at Newcastle and is a threat if judged on that display rather than his subsequent defeat there. Wave Rock, Revich and Ciotog also have claims.

Galaxy Wonder should be in the thick of it but WAVE ROCK (nap) is unexposed and may be able to build on her handicap debut fourth.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
