1st (4) (13/8 +7%)Guildmaster |
13/8(+7%) | (4) Guildmaster 13/8, 14 Apr; 325,000gns Teofilo colt; brother to Gear Up, high-class from 10f to 12f; dam fair at 7f; clearly one to consider seriously on debut for top yard. 325,000gns yearling by Teofilo; top yard has had several winning 2yo newcomers recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/2 -11%)Northern Empire |
5/2(-11%) | (9) Northern Empire 5/2, Tired late after made a lot of use of, but showed ability when 7l fourth in a novice at Kempton first-time out; trainer in form; sire miler, dam stayer, acts on AW; light-framed, should improve ridden more conservatively. 220,000euros yearling; 12-1, made most when 4th of 12 at Kempton (7f, AW) three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (15/8 +6%)The Stone Power |
15/8(+6%) | (11) The Stone Power 15/8, Made a promising debut when runner-up, beaten 7l, in a novice at Southwell on his only start. Has a wide draw but looks effective at 7f and should improve. 5-2 at Southwell (7f, AW) last month when no match for the winner but beating the other 12. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (200/1 -300%)Level Look |
200/1(-300%) | (6) Level Look 200/1, Pushed wide around the bend but still only managed a moderate effort when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on his sole start. Trained by a leading local trainer; by a miler out of a middle-distance dam; should improve for the run. 80-1 at Kempton (1m, AW) and steadily dropped out once the race began in earnest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/1 +31%)Felix Gem |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Felix Gem 11/1, 19 Feb; 11,000gns Ulysses gelding; half-brother to The African Queen, very useful at 10f; dam very useful at 10f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Ulysses half-brother to 7f-1m2f winner The African Queen (including 2yo/AW; RPR 86). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -33%)Del Corso |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Del Corso 16/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when beaten 8l in a novice at Newcastle last time. The trainer is in form and he has a wide draw. Bred to be suited by 8–12f and looks the type to do better in handicaps. 1m events at Nottingham (soft; 28-1) and Newcastle (AW; 15-2) produced modest form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (400/1 -300%)Mountbatten |
400/1(-300%) | (8) Mountbatten 400/1, Ran poorly after racing close to the pace when well beaten in a maiden at Southwell last time. Pedigree suggests he wants 8f or further, but he has yet to show any reliable form. Third start this month; it's likely to be in handicaps next year that he comes good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (50/1 -100%)Lux Aeterna |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Lux Aeterna 50/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Kempton last time after a short break. Bred for 6–7f and looks the type to do better once handicapping. Modest form twice at Kempton (7f, AW); left Kevin Philippart de Foy since for 15,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (33/1 -65%)Jerseygeordie |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Jerseygeordie 33/1, 7 Apr; Geordieland gelding; brother to Jerriais, moderate at 9f; dam useful at 5f at 2yo; hard to fancy on debut. Brother to 9.4f AW winner Jerriais (RPR 66), half-brother to a Jersey hurdle winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (150/1 -500%)Buckland Belle |
150/1(-500%) | (12) Buckland Belle 150/1, Tired late after being made a lot of use of when comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time. Wears a hood for the first time; has a wide draw and probably stays 7f. Looks one for handicaps. Modest form both starts (7f, AW); made most last time and a hood is now fitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (250/1 +0%)Fuseboard |
250/1(+0%) | (3) Fuseboard 250/1, Again ran poorly when well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Bred to be effective at 6–8f but looks very limited. 250-1 and raced freely when showing low-level form twice (7f/6f) on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (250/1 -150%)Serragasso |
250/1(-150%) | (10) Serragasso 250/1, 10 Mar; Aclaim colt; half-brother to Didactic Patrick, fair at 11f; dam unraced relation to a 14f winner; makes no appeal on debut. By Aclaim; probably best watched on debut. |

Northern Empire and The Stone Power set a decent standard after showing plenty of ability on their respective debuts in recent weeks. Both are likely to go well, but a chance can be taken on GUILDMASTER. The son of Teofilo cost 325,000gns as a yearling and is a full-brother to the Group 1 winner Gear Up, which means that he requires plenty on respect on his racecourse bow.

Northern Empire and The Stone Power showed fair form on their debuts but the vote still goes to Gosden newcomer GUILDMASTER.

(3) (3/1 +0%)Port Of London |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Port Of London 3/1, Below best on handicap debut tried in cheekpieces beaten 7l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 12f, acts on AW; better than showed latest. Gelded since a disappointing handicap debut at Kempton; has a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +33%)Gilet |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Gilet 3/1, Ran to form, strong at finish beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on S, GF and AW; can go well if repeating latest. Course winner whose latest Kempton second has been franked; should stay this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +18%)Knockbrex |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Knockbrex 9/2, Showed a good attitude and returned to his best form since January when winning a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and handles the all-weather; respected off 3lb higher. 3lb higher than Newcastle win last time; may find this an insufficient stamina test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -63%)Hitched |
13/2(-63%) | (5) Hitched 13/2, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; threat off this mark once more. Record over C&D reads 121; still just 1lb higher than when last successful; high on list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +33%)Shrimp Shady |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Shrimp Shady 8/1, Too keen and found little on handicap debut when well beaten at Newmarket last time. From a top course trainer and returning from a short break; stays 12f and acts on the all-weather but needs to bounce back. Returns from another three months off but still unexposed; the drop back in trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +11%)Mr Baloo |
8/1(+11%) | (1) Mr Baloo 8/1, Bit keen and again below his best when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 8f to 10f on a sound surface with best form on the all-weather, but needs to find more than of late. 1lb below last winning mark, but not at his best lately; others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -85%)Party Island |
12/1(-85%) | (10) Party Island 12/1, Ran to form and was just outlasted when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time. Trainer in form; effective from 10f to 12f on the all-weather and the drop in trip poses no problem. Five wins here but 1m4f looks his best trip on this surface these days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -29%)Joolianoss |
18/1(-29%) | (6) Joolianoss 18/1, Below form after ten months off when down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recently. Had been in good form before that and is effective from 8f to 10f on the all-weather; should leave that return behind. Completed a hat-trick on Tapeta in January but well held on last month's Newcastle return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -233%)Annexation |
40/1(-233%) | (8) Annexation 40/1, Disappointed over hurdles last time but won a fair race at Nottingham on his previous Flat start. Effective around 10f and acts on the all-weather; has been in good Flat form and could go well. Modest over hurdles last time but had won his last two starts on Flat turf prior to that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 -100%)Shahbaz |
100/1(-100%) | (9) Shahbaz 100/1, Never involved after a slow start when down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. Usually held up and effective from 10f to 12f on any surface; needs to reverse recent poor form. 2lb lower than for both wins this year but needs a resurgence. |

Annexation has to be respected on his return to the Flat, while the recent Newcastle winner Knockbrex is another with strong form claims. However, preference is for PARTY ISLAND, who is a previous C&D winner and he has twice struck the crossbar over 1m4f at this venue in recent weeks. The unexposed Shrimp Shady is another who makes the shortlist.

Preference is for HITCHED, who has been running well in defeat lately and whose record over C&D reads 121.

(1) (2/5 +10%)Khrisma |
2/5(+10%) | (1) Khrisma 2/5, Bit free but went clear with ease and outclassed her rivals when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter by 5l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground. Sets the standard and can follow up. Got off the mark over hurdles with a minimum of fuss at Uttoxeter last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (9/2 +50%)Watamu |
9/2(+50%) | (15) Watamu 9/2, Bit too free up in grade but ran to form when comfortably held in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Newbury last time. In good form before that. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground. Can do better if settling. Won bumper on her debut at Stratford last October; shaped well in two starts over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (8/1 -100%)Shotgun Shirley |
8/1(-100%) | (14) Shotgun Shirley 8/1, Improved again when handling softer ground to finish second, beaten 3l, in a Listed mares' NH Flat Race at Cheltenham last time. Progressive in that sphere, trainer in form and has a minor chance. Won on third bumper start and good second last time; hurdling debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +8%)Jem's Lilly |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Jem's Lilly 11/1, Made a very promising debut when 7l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2½m and acts on good to soft ground. Ex-Irish mare with plenty of potential for her new yard and should come on for that run. Made an encouraging debut over hurdles when third to a hotpot at Warwick last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -25%)Kittys Glance |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Kittys Glance 20/1, Green and hung on the rising ground when well beaten in a Listed mares' NH Flat Race at Cheltenham last time. Needs to show more. Definite signs of promise in a couple of bumpers; hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -180%)First Candidate |
28/1(-180%) | (5) First Candidate 28/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Stratford last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time after a short break. Acts on heavy and good to soft ground. A point winner who should have more to offer for a top yard, with the drop in trip possibly suiting. Raced too freely when taking a tired fall on her British debut; still a nice prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 +0%)Ever Ready |
66/1(+0%) | (4) Ever Ready 66/1, Travelled well but found little when comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and could build on that promising return in handicaps but this a big ask. Didn't fair too badly when fifth over C&D 15 days ago following a two-year absence.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 +0%)Hey Flint |
66/1(+0%) | (6) Hey Flint 66/1, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 7l in a mares' bumper at Ludlow last time. Faces a stiff task here. Sixth in a couple of bumpers this term; makes hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 +0%)Miracles Do Happen |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Miracles Do Happen 66/1, Bit free in front but made a promising debut when 3l third in a claiming hurdle at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m and acts on a sound surface. Should improve with that experience. Third on her hurdles debut in a claimer at Ludlow 19 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 +0%)Moorsbrook |
66/1(+0%) | (11) Moorsbrook 66/1, Bit disappointing given the drop in grade when 8l third in a maiden bumper at Southwell last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and has plenty to find. Showed promise when third in a couple of bumpers in April and May 2024 but off since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 +20%)Beep Beep Becky |
80/1(+20%) | (3) Beep Beep Becky 80/1, Improved but never put into the race and given a negative ride when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Should be effective over 2m4f or further and looks one for handicaps in time. Second in a 3m Irish point in March but beaten 40l and 30l in two runs over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (80/1 -60%)Annie Hathaway |
80/1(-60%) | (2) Annie Hathaway 80/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground. Needs to leave that debut effort well behind. Pulled up on her hurdles debut at Wincanton 18 days ago and has questions to answer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 -52%)Neeps And Tatties |
100/1(-52%) | (12) Neeps And Tatties 100/1, Green and made mistakes on a modest debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground. Needs to improve to reverse that form. Raced too freely when fifth behind Khrisma on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (200/1 -100%)Mild Magic |
200/1(-100%) | (9) Mild Magic 200/1, Again ran to a modest level when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Windsor last time. Yet to find ideal conditions over hurdles and may do better once handicapping. Runner-up in an Irish point in April but well beaten on both starts over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (200/1 -33%)Rose Of The Shires |
200/1(-33%) | (13) Rose Of The Shires 200/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Warwick on her only start. Has it all to do. Beaten 29l when tenth of 13 on her debut in a bumper at Warwick last month.. |

KHRISMA bumped into the useful Casheldale Lad at Punchestown in May before duly obliging at cramped odds last month. Nicky Henderson's mare sets a tall order with an official rating of 127 so unless any of her rivals can take a big step forward, this should be another fine opportunity. Shotgun Shirley finished second in a Listed bumper having been successful at Uttoxeter the start prior and must be of interest now sent hurdling, whilst Watamu and Kittys Glance are others to consider.

Some promising types are on show but the mare who has put down the strongest marker is KHRISMA, an emphatic winner at Uttoxeter.

(5) (13/8 +35%)Tokyo Joe |
13/8(+35%) | (5) Tokyo Joe 13/8, Ran to form dropped in trip when second beaten 1/2l in a novice here latest; trainer in form; effective 6-8f on Hy, G and AW; chance judged on latest. Runner-up in two of his eight starts, including over C&D; high on the list in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/2 +29%)Thecoffeepoddotco |
5/2(+29%) | (8) Thecoffeepoddotco 5/2, Bit keen but best form of 2025 when second beaten a length in a novice at Chelmsford latest; effective at 5/6f, acts on S, GF and AW; exposed but this looks a good opening. 0-10; second at Chelmsford on Thursday; this comes pretty soon afterwards, but in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 -35%)Brakeman |
9/2(-35%) | (1) Brakeman 9/2, Below form on handicap debut when beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; a first-time hood is applied and a rebound is required. Hasn't built on a promising return at Wolverhampton in September; doubts remain; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 -86%)Eternity |
13/2(-86%) | (6) Eternity 13/2, Invincible Army filly; half-sister to Eternal Fame, useful at 6f as 2yo; dam very useful from 5/6f (at 2yo); from respected yard and could have a say in a moderate race on debut Stable has its fair share of winning 2yo newcomers and market support would be significant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +43%)Special Acclaim |
8/1(+43%) | (4) Special Acclaim 8/1, Took a step back from debut when beaten 10l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 6f on the all-weather and could progress once handicapping. Fifth in both starts; hung right last time which would be a concern on this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -67%)Soviet Symphony |
10/1(-67%) | (7) Soviet Symphony 10/1, Showed ability on debut behind a good horse when 8 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Salisbury first time out; effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; off since May but capable of better. Some ability on Salisbury debut in May; half-sister to four-time 6f Polytrack winner Drama. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -203%)Celtic Spirit |
100/1(-203%) | (2) Celtic Spirit 100/1, Improved on debut though possibly flattered when beaten 5l in a novice at Chelmsford last time; likely to appreciate 7f or further and needs to find more dropping in trip. Has beaten a total of one rival in two starts; may do better once handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 +25%)Lowestoft |
150/1(+25%) | (3) Lowestoft 150/1, Yet to show any real ability; sprint-bred and may fare better when tackling low-level handicaps. Beaten a long way in two AW novices; modest handicaps beckon. |

Second over 5f at Chelmsford last week, THECOFFEEPODDOTCO could be hard to beat if repeating that level of form on the quick turnaround. Tokyo Joe also hit the crossbar on his most recent start and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Brakeman and Soviet Symphony are others who are capable of making the frame in a race of this nature.

It may be worth chancing SOVIET SYMPHONY who could take well to this surface, being a half-sister to the useful Polytrack winner Drama.

(1) (15/8 +46%)Abbey Scope |
15/8(+46%) | (1) Abbey Scope 15/8, Promising debut just flattening out late back from a break when 12l third in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen most recent run; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on GS and G; should come on for debut run and longer trip in his favour. Impressed in winning his bumper; respectable third last time and sent further now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 +0%)Judicial Deference |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Judicial Deference 2/1, Promising hurdles debut, after a wind op, when second beaten a length in a maiden at Bangor-on-Dee latest; second run after wind op; effective at 2m4f, acts on S; more to come. Point winner; his second in a Bangor maiden entitles him to strong form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 +10%)Who's Glen |
3/1(+10%) | (6) Who's Glen 3/1, Step back in right direction beaten 9l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective up to 2m on the Flat, versatile ground-wise; type to make a fair hurdler. Became disappointing on the Flat but was useful at his best; has the stamina for this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 +14%)The G Wizard |
3/1(+14%) | (5) The G Wizard 3/1, Confirmed debut level when second beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Kelso latest; effective around 2m4f, acts on S; can go well again. Competitive in maidens over slightly further than this at Perth and Kelso (both on soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -233%)Barrakilla Vage |
25/1(-233%) | (2) Barrakilla Vage 25/1, Showed improvement in new headgear when fourth, beaten 18l, in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel; effective at 2m1f on heavy or good ground; ex-Irish performer who needs more to get off the mark. Beaten in six points, four bumpers and two maiden hurdles when based in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (200/1 -100%)Masterminding |
200/1(-100%) | (4) Masterminding 200/1, Again ran to a modest level when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle; returning from a short break and yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles; may improve when switched to handicaps. Exposed as limited on the Flat and over hurdles; outclassed in a maiden. |

Pojnt-to-point winner JUDICIAL DEFERENCE made a pleasing start for his new yard with a good second in a maiden hurdle at Bangor last month. That run, which came on the back of a wind operation, should have taught him plenty and he could kick on here. The G Wizard and Abbey Scope are also heading in the right direction and support for either in the betting would need to be taken seriously.

A race of this nature looks well within the capabilities of THE G WIZARD who has been competitive in both his maidens.

(3) (9/4 +25%)Petty Cash |
9/4(+25%) | (3) Petty Cash 9/4, Ran to form and produced a big effort back from a long layoff, beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Chepstow last time. Effective from 2m to 3m on soft and good ground; progressing over fences and still well treated on hurdle form. Solid second at Chepstow last month on first run for a year; should run well.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +40%)He Knows Better |
3/1(+40%) | (1) He Knows Better 3/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Haydock last time when looking a huge threat; that strong form; trainer in form and effective around 2 1/2m. Unlucky on debut and looks to have more to come over fences. Fell two out when pressing the leaders on chasing debut at Haydock 19 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +0%)Thruthelookinglass |
13/2(+0%) | (8) Thruthelookinglass 13/2, Outpaced but showed promise on chase debut when 8 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Warwick last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and may progress further over fences now upped in trip. Made an encouraging chase debut when third of five finishers at Warwick last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 +18%)Mixedwave |
9/1(+18%) | (11) Mixedwave 9/1, Travelled well and ran to form, just tiring late back from a break when 7 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 3m on soft and good ground; remains on a winning mark and should come on for the run. Dual C&D winner; should benefit from his run when third at Market Rasen last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +0%)Realisation |
9/1(+0%) | (7) Realisation 9/1, Ran to form when 6l third in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time. Effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; consistent performer whose recent form has been franked and remains competitive if stamina holds. Won a bumper and over hurdles but is 0-7 over fences; step back up in trip should suit.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -25%)Impatient |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Impatient 10/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Suited by 3m on decent ground but inconsistent overall. Has a mixed record since winning at Ffos Las last November.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)Night Duty |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Night Duty 12/1, Below form up in trip on chase debut and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. In good form beforehand; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and could improve over fences. Always behind when fifth of six finishers on chase debut at Uttoxeter last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +25%)Baby Sage |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Baby Sage 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 2m5f on soft and good ground. A consistent hurdler previously who must bounce back. Pulled up on chase debut over C&D last month having reportedly bled from the nose.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 +20%)Swift Jet |
16/1(+20%) | (10) Swift Jet 16/1, Outpaced but returned to form up in trip wearing first-time cheekpieces when 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time. Has a bit to find starting out over fences. Didn't fare too badly when third of six finishers over hurdles at Ludlow 19 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 -80%)Zacony Rebel |
18/1(-80%) | (12) Zacony Rebel 18/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m4f and just about stays a sharp 3m on good ground; inconsistent and the form of his latest win looks weak. Goes well here (course form 122) and latest win was over C&D 15 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -79%)El Saviour |
25/1(-79%) | (2) El Saviour 25/1, Outpaced and needed the run on chase debut when well beaten in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective at 2m5f on soft ground. Has pointing experience but must prove ability remains after a layoff. Won twice over hurdles two seasons back but tailed off on chasing debut at Wetherby.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -21%)There's Claude |
40/1(-21%) | (13) There's Claude 40/1, Failed to settle and paid the price late when trying to go with the winner; ran to form when fourth, beaten 13l in a novice hurdle at Kempton last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and needs to show more now chasing. Showed little in three runs over hurdles two seasons ago; tough task on chasing debut.. |

There are a few that will fancy their chances, including the likes of Petty Cash and veteran Zacony Rebel, who arrives having won over C&D recently. Thruthelookinglass could step forward from a satisfactory chasing bow, but the vote goes to MIXEDWAVE. Pam Sly's eight-year-old doesn't have the greatest record when fresh, so it was encouraging that he ran well enough at Market Rasen on his return. The dual C&D winner is 1lb lower now and a big run is anticipated.

This looks competitive but preference is for PETTY CASH who can build on his second at Chepstow. The main danger is He Knows Better.

11/2(-22%) | (5) Ernie's Valentine 11/2, Scored by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; ran to form last time; effective 7-9f, appears better on AW; fair mark still and won this last year. Off the same mark as when winning this race last year; another big run expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -8%)Giorgio M |
7/1(-8%) | (1) Giorgio M 7/1, Hit the line well down in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on GS, GF and AW; step back up in trip a help. Return to this trip should suit and is 1-1 in Class 5 handicaps on the AW; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +0%)Tadreeb |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Tadreeb 7/1, Made late headway when upped in trip to finish fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap here latest; wide draw. Off a short break and effective at 7/8f; in-and-out of late. All five AW wins have come over C&D and is back off last winning mark; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7/1(+22%) | (4) Dream Of Mischief 7/1, Won by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start. Bit wide and below form last time; wide draw and off a short break. Effective at 7f and acts on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. C&D winner; poor effort last time and the widest stall leave him with something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +0%)Serenity Dream |
9/1(+0%) | (10) Serenity Dream 9/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Goodwood last time, though in good form prior. Off a short break; effective at 6/7f and acts on the all-weather; step back up in trip should help. Beaten a head on latest AW start and could go well if ready to roll after three months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -33%)Havana Sky |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Havana Sky 12/1, Won by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here in October but stopped quickly last time. Effective at 6/7f on the all-weather; remains 4lb above last winning mark. All eight wins have come over 6f and is still 4lb higher than when last successful. |

(11) (28/1 -12%)Manhattan Chute |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Manhattan Chute 28/1, No show from off the pace on stable debut when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f; needs to bounce back and has something to prove on the all-weather. 0-10 in turf in Ireland and well held on stable/AW debut here a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -186%)Diamond Dreamer |
40/1(-186%) | (9) Diamond Dreamer 40/1, Made late headway down in trip when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5/6f on the all-weather; just above last winning mark but worth a try at 7f. Becoming favourably handicapped, but is still to prove he wants this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -213%)Liberty Bird |
50/1(-213%) | (12) Liberty Bird 50/1, Made late headway down in trip when well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest. Effective at 7–10f on a sound surface; needs to bounce back for her new yard. Dual 7f winner last year, but modest last time and needs to bounce back. |

ERNIE'S VALENTINE has produced a consistent level of form since winning at Chelmsford in September and apprentice rider Phoebe Edwards gets on well with him. Ross Burdon's charge landed the corresponding event 12 months ago from this mark too, and he could do so once again at the expense of Tadreeb, who is sure to appreciate an ease in class. H Key Lails is another to consider.

This can go to ERNIE'S VALENTINE who is off the same mark as when winning this race last year.

(6) (7/4 +56%)Benefit Ben |
7/4(+56%) | (6) Benefit Ben 7/4, Went clear and travelled well when improving up in trip to win a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making the running; effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft and good ground; capable of better still. Third run over fences when scoring over further here 14 days ago; fine at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +17%)Okavango Delta |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Okavango Delta 5/1, Back to form on return when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form and effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; chance if building on that run. Dual C&D winner who found only one too good back over 2m here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -30%)O'faolains Glory |
13/2(-30%) | (5) O'faolains Glory 13/2, Improved when landing a handicap chase by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; chance up 4lb. Made all over C&D last month despite not having it all her own way up front; raised 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -40%)Kadjar Des Mottes |
7/1(-40%) | (3) Kadjar Des Mottes 7/1, Going okay when falling in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good to soft ground; has a chance if none the worse for that fall. Challenging when falling two out on his chase/handicap debut at Sedgefield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -211%)Mountain Molly |
7/1(-211%) | (2) Mountain Molly 7/1, Improved again under a positive ride when beaten 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Perth last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m4f on heavy and good ground; brings plenty of potential to fences for a top yard. Improving hurdler this season and connections evidently keen on getting her over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +25%)Scots Poet |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Scots Poet 15/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; capable of a good run. Maiden chaser (0-7) and will need to step up on his three efforts since a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 +76%)Nights In Venice |
8/1(+76%) | (8) Nights In Venice 8/1, Poor run back hurdling when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective at 2m4f and handles ground with cut; fair mark on best chase form but needs to bounce back. Only 1-24 overall and tailed off in both his starts since wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -29%)Carcaci Castle |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Carcaci Castle 18/1, Made too much use of but still produced his best effort of 2025 when well beaten in a Kelso handicap chase last time. Best around 2m and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; bit better latest but still hard to fancy. Should be well handicapped but this year has been a struggle; now 1-11 over fences. |

BENEFIT BEN made every yard of the running to win in a game manner over an extended 2m7f here a fortnight ago and could again be tough to overhaul. Okavango Delta is a dual C&D winner that also warrants close inspection, while the low-milage Mountain Molly could have a big say if replicating her Perth form at this venue. Kadjar Des Mottes is also dangerous to underestimate, despite failing to complete last time.

The mare MOUNTAIN MOLLY is the only one with no chasing experience but she won her only point and has improved over hurdles this year.

(7) (13/8 +46%)Lunar Ocean |
13/8(+46%) | (7) Lunar Ocean 13/8, Keen and wide when found little, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Was in good form prior but has a bit to find here and enthusiasm concerns. 0-13 under rules, beaten 36l over hurdles in July when last seen; four 2nds in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +0%)Rehill Relic |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Rehill Relic 3/1, Outpaced but showed improvement from debut when fourth, beaten 6l, in a handicap chase at Southwell last time. Effective over 2–2½m, acts on good ground, and progressing over fences. Fell on chase debut at Bangor in October and fair fourth at Southwell last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -60%)Gwennie May Jem |
4/1(-60%) | (2) Gwennie May Jem 4/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Effective over 2m, acts on good ground, and should come on for the reappearance. Beaten 40l on stable debut but that was on heavy; Sean Bowen rides him for first time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 +53%)Applicationofcash |
15/2(+53%) | (3) Applicationofcash 15/2, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time after a very lengthy absence. Has a bit to find on this return starting out over fences. Showed little in six starts when trained in Ireland and pulled up when last seen.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +68%)Song Of Earth |
9/1(+68%) | (5) Song Of Earth 9/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time. Effective over 2½–3m but has regressed since moving from Ireland. Tailed off over C&D last month on his return from a year off and cannot be recommended.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -113%)Imperial Pride |
16/1(-113%) | (6) Imperial Pride 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective over 2½m and acts on soft and good ground. On a good mark based on old form but must prove ability remains. Won three points in spring 2024; pulled up 12 days ago after 14 months off.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -100%)One Million Dreams |
16/1(-100%) | (4) One Million Dreams 16/1, Bit awkward under pressure and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Had been in good form beforehand but has a bit to find now. 0-8 over hurdles but may benefit from this step back up in trip on this chase debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +34%)Millies Mite |
33/1(+34%) | (8) Millies Mite 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2½m but her mark still looks high enough. Pulled up on return to action at Lingfield last month after five-month break.. |

This isn't the deepest of contests and it might pay to side with REHILL RELIC. A faller on his chasing bow before running with credit at Southwell next time, the son of Mahler could be capable of better and wouldn't need to find stacks of improvement. Lunar Ocean was largely consistent over fences last term and makes more appeal than most and, despite a lacklustre effort at Bangor, it would be unwise to dismiss Gwennie May Jem with Sean Bowen in the plate.

This is a weak affair and it may well be that GWENNIE MAY JEM can return to form with a win. Lunar Ocean is the main danger.

His blistering early pace could be a real asset on his first visit here. |

(1) (10/3 +26%)Level Up |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Level Up 10/3, Scored by a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Chelmsford three starts back; did too much too soon after missing the break when seventh, beaten 3l off 66 last time; suited by 5f and type to bounce back. C&D winner just 1lb higher than when last successful; solid claims back in a 0-65. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +27%)Captain Kinsella |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Captain Kinsella 4/1, Again below form when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f on all-weather; has lost form and wind operation has not helped. Has regressed since winning two Tapeta novices this time last year; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -35%)Lahina Bay |
9/2(-35%) | (2) Lahina Bay 9/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; bit keen but ran to form when fifth last time; effective 5/6f, acts on Hy, GS and AW; in form and can go well again. Three wins this year, but there has to be a question mark against her over this sharp 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -25%)Rajeteriat |
15/2(-25%) | (6) Rajeteriat 15/2, Didn't get home, below form beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 5f, acts on G and GF; unproven on AW. 0-13; down another 2lb but others still appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 +52%)Desdemona |
16/1(+52%) | (3) Desdemona 16/1, Step back in right direction beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective at 5f, acts on GS, G and AW; falling in weights but needs more. Has shown little in five starts since returning for this yard in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -75%)She Went Whoosh |
28/1(-75%) | (7) She Went Whoosh 28/1, Remains below best when beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 5f on all-weather; out of form since spring win. 13lb lower than for sole success over C&D in April, but hasn't shown much lately. |

Lahina Bay was foiled in her hat-trick bid here last time but remains of interest eased 2lb in the handicap. Sam's Xpress may have let favourite backers down the last twice, but he ought to launch a strong challenge. A chance, however, can be taken on DESDEMONA. Michael Attwater's charge has plummeted in the ratings since making her handicap bow in May, and there were more encouraging signs over C&D most recently. Although not a reliable option, she does have a win on her CV and might offer some value from a falling mark.

Preference is for LEVEL UP who has winning form over C&D and is just 1lb higher than when last successful.

7/4(+71%) | (12) National Question 7/4, Scored by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; ran to form when second last time; trainer in form; best around 2m, acts on S, G; in form and can go well again. Ran quite well at Sedgefield last time given soft was probably not ideal for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -50%)Bathgate |
9/2(-50%) | (3) Bathgate 9/2, Travelled well and won with a bit in hand when landing a handicap by 4l at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m on soft and good; respected despite a 6lb rise. Won quite comfortably at Sedgefield recently and he can cope with this 6lb higher mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +50%)Inca Prince |

Good hurdler about four years ago; second run after long absence was better than the first. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 -9%)Gemini Man |
6/1(-9%) | (9) Gemini Man 6/1, Ran to form when 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on soft and good; returned to form on latest outing. Beaten about 7l when making the frame over C&D recently and that was in a Class 4. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +11%)Gonnino |
8/1(+11%) | (10) Gonnino 8/1, Outpaced, rallied and ran to form but looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective at 2m with cut; generally consistent performer. He ran well behind a heavily backed favourite over C&D two weeks ago; 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -25%)Magna Victor |
10/1(-25%) | (1) Magna Victor 10/1, Made too much use of and needed the run when fourth, beaten 10l, in a novice hurdle at Ayr last time; effective at 2m with cut and should improve for that outing. Hasn't run at all badly in his two novices and there could be improvement to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -167%)John Betjeman |
12/1(-167%) | (6) John Betjeman 12/1, Produced best form since spring 2024 when winning a handicap by 1 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m on heavy and good; 8lb rise demands more from the 9yo. May have turned a corner, having made a successful yard debut at Sedgefield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +58%)Maple |
14/1(+58%) | (2) Maple 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good; the form of his spring win has taken several knocks since. Very quiet in two runs after a break and looks the stable second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -18%)Spartan Warrior |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Spartan Warrior 33/1, Below form when down in trip on his hurdles return, finishing well held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time; off a short break; effective from 2m to 2m3f on good ground; debuting for a new yard. Flat/hurdle winner but lost his way for Rebecca Menzies and was sold on for 3,400gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -60%)Miss Bumblebee |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Miss Bumblebee 40/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Hexham last time; wears a hood for the first time; effective at 2m4f on good ground; may improve now handicapping. Unconvincing claims on this handicap debut with a hood now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -21%)Rory The Cat |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Rory The Cat 40/1, Below form back hurdling when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective at 2m on S, GS; erratic but likes it here. Uninspiring Flat form before another heavy defeat here last month on return to jumping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (80/1 -400%)Jaminoz |
80/1(-400%) | (4) Jaminoz 80/1, Well held back hurdling when beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective around 2m and acts on heavy and soft; could fare better this time. 20-1 and well beaten on his return to hurdling over C&D last month. |

BATHGATE has flourished lately and could be well placed to follow up after winning cosily at Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago. Given he wasn't fully extended to win that race, a 6lb higher rating should be manageable if a third run in December doesn't take a toll. John Betjeman defeated the selection by a length and a half at the same venue last month and can be a thorn in his side again, although he is 8lb higher. Gemini Man and Gonnino are each-way options.

Slight preference is for NATIONAL QUESTION who should be happier on this surface than the soft ground he encountered last time.

(11) (7/2 -40%)Cher Monsieur |
7/2(-40%) | (11) Cher Monsieur 7/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; has been in moderate form off lowly marks. 0-7 over hurdles and has shown bits of form, best of it when third at Uttoxeter in May.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +56%)Hiero Sport |
4/1(+56%) | (7) Hiero Sport 4/1, Looked in need of further when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; inconsistent and may find this test too sharp after the break. Got off the mark over hurdles at Fakenham in October last year off 3lb lower.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (6/1 +25%)Little Pi |
6/1(+25%) | (10) Little Pi 6/1, Returned to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Hereford last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; well treated on old form but not the most reliable to build on that revival. Returned to form back over hurdles when second at Hereford last month.. |

15/2(-36%) | (4) Ebselysees 15/2, Returned to form in first-time blinkers when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; remains competitive. Sole success came over C&D last November and good second here last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +18%)Cuillin Ridge |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Cuillin Ridge 9/1, Below form when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; had been consistent prior to that but stamina remains to be proven. Maiden who fared no better on handicap debut up in trip when seventh at Exeter last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +14%)Pottersmattyeeehaa |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Pottersmattyeeehaa 12/1, Made mistakes and did plenty early when fourth, beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. The trainer is in form; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; has been running into form this season. 0-5 over hurdles and is not progressing as yet but steps up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 -191%)Idaho Bridge |
16/1(-191%) | (2) Idaho Bridge 16/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground, but his opening mark requires improvement. Yet to make the frame from six starts; steps up in trip on handicap debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +11%)Harthill |
16/1(+11%) | (9) Harthill 16/1, Landed a handicap by 1 1/2l off this mark at Stratford last time after a lengthy absence. Effective from 2 1/4m to 2 1/2m and acts on soft ground; well treated on old form but must show her ability remains after the layoff. Got off the mark at Stratford in November 2023 but has been absent since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 0%)L'air Du Large |
25/1(0%) | (8) L'air Du Large 25/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow most recently. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; yet to find suitable conditions and has plenty to prove. Yet to be placed from five starts and not progressing; steps up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +0%)Ramaah |
25/1(+0%) | (12) Ramaah 25/1, Had every chance and ran to form in first-time blinkers when fourth, beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground; yet to show much over hurdles. Yet to win in this sphere but ran best hurdle race when fourth at Ludlow four weeks ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 +0%)Catalan King |
50/1(+0%) | (13) Catalan King 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective around 2m; showed some promise on the Flat but has plenty to prove over hurdles and doesn't look straightforward. Has shown nothing in five hurdle starts and has been pulled up in his two runs this term.. |

Pulled up over fences in October, EBSELYSEES showed the benefit of that pipe-opener when finishing a resolute second back over the smaller obstacles here last month. This shorter trip shouldn't be an issue, given she landed a novice hurdle over C&D last term, and she gets the vote. Little Pi also posted a better effort reverting to hurdles at Hereford, while handicap debutants Albie Littlewood and Idaho Bridge are worth a look too.

The best option is C&D winner EBSELYSEES who showed she was in form when second here last month. The main danger is Little Pi.

(7) (3/1 +25%)Homme De Fer |
3/1(+25%) | (7) Homme De Fer 3/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; very wide early but ran to form under a penalty when fourth last time; effective at 7/8f, suited by AW; can go well again. Won at Wolverhampton earlier in month and fourth from a poor draw at Kempton; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -17%)Latin |
7/2(-17%) | (1) Latin 7/2, Travelled, strong at finish in landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 7-10f, acts on S, GF and AW; consistent and versatile, can go well again under penalty. Won at Southwell on Friday; 5lb penalty on a sharper track, but more compelling than most. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +0%)Global Warning |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Global Warning 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Returning from a long layoff and usually held up. Effective at 7f and on a good mark these days. Off nine months; 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in September last year; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -13%)My Boy Harry |
9/2(-13%) | (3) My Boy Harry 9/2, Scored by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton in October; ran to form when second last time; effective 7/8f, acts on GF and AW; respected once again. Only beaten a head over C&D last Wednesday and much respected from the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +69%)Amarachi |
5/1(+69%) | (4) Amarachi 5/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 6f and 7f. Still above her last winning mark and needs more. Mixed bag in three starts since returning for this yard in October and others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -14%)Roman Emperor |
8/1(-14%) | (5) Roman Emperor 8/1, Produced best work late and not far off form when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 6f and 7f on a sound surface and capable back up in trip. Ran with credit here a week ago, but is an infrequent winner and looks best over shorter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +0%)Zaltalla |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Zaltalla 14/1, Again raced too keenly when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Has a wide draw and is suited by 7f and 8f. Back down to his last winning mark. Off same mark as when winning over C&D in August, but that is his only win in 23 starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -80%)Buttercross Flyer |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Buttercross Flyer 18/1, Below form but with excuses when beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time, having been in good form prior. Off a short break and effective at 7f. Needs to bounce back. 2-33 but record over C&D reads 213; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 +50%)For What Its Worth |
25/1(+50%) | (11) For What Its Worth 25/1, Ran to a poor level on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap at Ripon last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time. Has a wide draw and has yet to find suitable conditions. Hard to fancy on recent evidence. Returns from seven months and has the outside stall; blinkers on; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Liricist |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Liricist 50/1, May still have needed the run when well beaten in a handicap at Brighton last time. Off a short break and effective at 7f. Easing in the weights but needs more. Shock winner in September last year, but nowhere near that form since; AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 -257%)Little Miss Magic |
100/1(-257%) | (9) Little Miss Magic 100/1, No show from off the pace when beaten 9l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Has a wide draw and is suited by 5f and 6f but currently out of form. 1-22; hasn't looked like winning again lately including when stepped up to 7f last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 -25%)Tilsworth Max |
100/1(-25%) | (12) Tilsworth Max 100/1, Found little and failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 7f and 8f and acts on the all-weather but remains a poor maiden. Placed just once in 21 starts and nothing recently to suggest that is about to change. |

Latin built on a series of placed efforts to resume winning ways over a mile at Southwell and will likely be thereabouts once again, but MY BOY HARRY is marginally preferred. Denied in the shadow of the post over C&D last week, the son of Massaat looks well worth another chance off an unchanged mark. Buttercross Flyer and Homme De Fer also enter calculations in an open affair.

The choice is HOMME DE FER who won at Wolverhampton at the start of the month and ran well from a poor draw at Kempton last time.

(7) (11/4 +21%)Too Cool Forshrule |
11/4(+21%) | (7) Too Cool Forshrule 11/4, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr on his penultimate start but below form when sixth last time. Effective at 2m4f on decent ground; step up in trip may suit. Three wins this year; needs to better his last performance and there are stamina doubts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +13%)Forged Well |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Forged Well 7/2, Booked for third when falling in a handicap chase at Ayr latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, G; chance assuming okay after fall. In front when clouting two out at Ayr before coming down at the last; must avoid errors. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/2 +50%)Swallows Song |
7/2(+50%) | (8) Swallows Song 7/2, Outpaced and may have found the ground too testing when fourth, beaten 20l, in a handicap chase at Ayr last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good ground; a maiden currently out of form. Now goes in cheekpieces from 4lb out of the weights; others are more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -29%)Inis Oirr |
9/2(-29%) | (3) Inis Oirr 9/2, Outpaced and failed to give his running when well beaten in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Off a short break; effective from 3m to 4m, acts on soft and good to soft; erratic but could bounce back. Never really going in November latest but he'd made an encouraging return the time before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -36%)Magna Sam |
15/2(-36%) | (2) Magna Sam 15/2, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Trainer in form; effective from 3m to 4m on a sound surface and may need this run. Might be getting readied for another crack at Edinburgh National here in early February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +0%)Giovanni Change |
10/1(+0%) | (6) Giovanni Change 10/1, Ended a busy spell when pulled up in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Enjoys making the running; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground; may have benefited from the break. Pulled up at Market Rasen in July last time and that's a track he usually runs so well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -33%)Special Rate |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Special Rate 16/1, Below form up in grade and trip when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Cartmel last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft ground; needs to bounce back. Potentially on a good mark for first run since June; new trainer has booked Brian Hughes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -14%)Kilmore Rock |
16/1(-14%) | (4) Kilmore Rock 16/1, Stopped quickly when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time. Likes to make the running; off a short break; suited by 3m on decent ground and needs to bounce back. Four hurdle wins but has lost his way a bit; jumped poorly on chase debut two runs back. |

SPECIAL RATE failed to fire in a valuable event at Cartmel when last seen in June, but his previous third at the same venue gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Swallows Song could make the frame if finding some improvement for first-time cheekpieces, while Too Cool Forshrule and Inis Oirr are others to keep an eye on.

All of these come with risks. The problem with INIS OIRR is his inconsistency but he did go very close two starts back.

(4) (15/8 +38%)Across Earth |
15/8(+38%) | (4) Across Earth 15/8, Travelled well, all but fell late yet did it comfortably and improved again when landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Sandown last time. Effective over 2m, suited by a sound surface, acts on good to soft; progressing with more to come judged on Flat form. Progressive over hurdles, winning two of his last three this term; major player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +25%)Frontier Prince |
5/2(+25%) | (1) Frontier Prince 5/2, Improved on handicap debut when well placed in a race dominated from the front, beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground; bumper and hurdles form both strong and progressive. Won over hurdles at Chepstow in October and good third at Cheltenham last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 -67%)Ambiente Friendly |
5/2(-67%) | (2) Ambiente Friendly 5/2, Keen, went clear, rallied and outstayed rivals, benefiting from a drop in grade when winning a novice hurdle here by 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground; the former Derby runner-up should have more to offer over hurdles. 2nd in 2024 Derby; fourth at Cheltenham on his hurdles debut and won over C&D 15 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +27%)Caelan |
8/1(+27%) | (7) Caelan 8/1, Outpaced and never threatened but ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time. In good form previously; effective over 2m on good ground, though his mark demands more. Won at Worcester in September but beaten by Across Earth last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +44%)Benvoy |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Benvoy 14/1, Unsuited by rain-softened ground and never threatened after a wind operation when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. This is his second run after wind surgery; effective over 2m on good to soft and good ground, and the mark looks about right. Won twice over hurdles in March, including over C&D; well beaten in three starts since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -67%)Aviemore |
20/1(-67%) | (3) Aviemore 20/1, Made mistakes, was outpaced and below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective over 10–12f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles, likes some give; juvenile form has been strongly franked but has a bit to prove in this sphere. Won twice over hurdles last term, winning twice, but has not been in the same form since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -50%)Galactic Charm |
33/1(-50%) | (5) Galactic Charm 33/1, Did not find much and ran below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground; on a fair mark based on best novice form and could bounce back. Well beaten by his stablemate Across Earth at Sandown 17 days ago.. |

A top-class performer on the Flat, AMBIENTE FRIENDLY opened his account over timber with a hard fought success over C&D. He showed a willing attitude on that occasion, and James Owen's charge could prove better than his opening mark now handicapping. Across Earth returned the decisive winner at Sandown, despite a couple of mistakes, and will be hard to keep out of the frame with any further improvement. Frontier Prince placed at Cheltenham last time and is not out of this either.

The most progressive candidate is ACROSS EARTH (nap) and there should be more to come from him. Ambiente Friendly is second choice.

(5) (10/3 +39%)Jackson Street |
10/3(+39%) | (5) Jackson Street 10/3, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time after stepping up in trip; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; has shown a bit more recently. Dropping back to 7f may help, but a record of 1-32 poses a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 -17%)Vitalline |
7/2(-17%) | (9) Vitalline 7/2, Overcame a slow start and showed a good attitude to win a Kempton handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark last time; usually held up; wide draw; effective at 6/7f and suited by all-weather; capable under a penalty. Returned to winning form over 6f at Kempton last Wednesday; return to this trip no problem. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +60%)Dion Baker |
4/1(+60%) | (1) Dion Baker 4/1, Below form when failing to get home after stepping back up in trip and finishing well beaten in a handicap at Southwell last time; wide draw; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; needs to bounce back. Drops into a 0-55 for the first time but record of 0-27 on the AW sounds a note of caution. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (13/2 -18%)Colorada Dancer |
13/2(-18%) | (10) Colorada Dancer 13/2, Ran to form in a new headgear combination when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; strong chance if repeating that run. Ran well when third at Chelmsford last month; stays this far; respected off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +22%)Raqraaq |
7/1(+22%) | (4) Raqraaq 7/1, Did too much too soon and tired late when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; suited by 8f on all-weather; drop in trip looks an interesting move. Both wins over 1m here, but not sure dropping a furlong is the answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -67%)Sedgemoor |
15/2(-67%) | (7) Sedgemoor 15/2, Not best of runs and again below form when beaten 6l in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; suited by 7f and acts on all-weather; mark continues to drop but needs to show more. Out of the frame in 12 starts since successful handicap debut, but he was backed last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +8%)Chloe's Courage |
11/1(+8%) | (6) Chloe's Courage 11/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Chelmsford penultimate start; wide trip, below form ninth beaten 6l off 51 last time; effective 6-8f, acts on G, GF and AW; could bounce back on quick return to the track. Inconsistent of late; hard to know what to expect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -20%)So Chic |
12/1(-20%) | (3) So Chic 12/1, Finished strongly and ran to form when winning a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark here last time; usually held up; returning from a break; effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather; good chance if fit after the break. Four-time winner on the AW, but off 140 days and record fresh is far from compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 -27%)Arlecchino's Rex |
14/1(-27%) | (11) Arlecchino's Rex 14/1, Found little and ran well below form when down the field in a Wolverhampton handicap most recently; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; needs to improve on current form. 0-14 since his successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton in November last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -67%)Horus |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Horus 20/1, Made late gains and not far off form when beaten 6l in a Kempton handicap last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; usually held up; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; below best recently. Not threatening lately and last on only previous attempt at 7f; new headgear combination. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 -56%)Sisters In The Sky |
25/1(-56%) | (12) Sisters In The Sky 25/1, Never competitive when beaten 7l in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; bit to prove at this distance. Needs to fare better than on his recent starts if he is to regain winning form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 +20%)Duke Orsino |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Duke Orsino 40/1, Below form when well beaten in a Southwell handicap latest; wide draw; back from a short break; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; falling in the weights and drops in trip. Unplaced in all eight starts including four for this yard; hard to recommend. |

Chloe's Courage failed to feature over C&D last time, having returned the convincing winner at Chelmsford prior to that. Hard to predict, she's overlooked in favour of SO CHIC. The latter hasn't raced since scoring over a mile here in August, but Stephanie Cassidy's five-year-old is equally proficient over 7f and is taken to defy a 3lb rise. Jackson Street could land a blow if settling better.

The vote goes to COLORADA DANCER who ran well to finish third behind a subsequent winner off this mark at Chelmsford last time.

(2) (7/2 +65%)Asa |
7/2(+65%) | (2) Asa 7/2, Outpaced and unsuited by a drop in trip when well beaten in a Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Stays 3m and handles good to soft and good ground; has a bit to prove after that effort. Back on a tempting mark and there were signs of a revival last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +11%)Leader Wing |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Leader Wing 4/1, Back in form when stepped up in trip, outbattled late and beaten a short head off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Visor applied for the first time; effective from 2m4f to 3m on good to soft and good ground; a frustrating but consistent maiden. A visor replaces blinkers but he very nearly opened his hurdling account two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +55%)Cher Tara |
9/2(+55%) | (4) Cher Tara 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective at 2m4f and suited by decent ground but remains inconsistent. Left Gordon Elliott for £3,500 but it wasn't that bad a run last time at Ayr. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +0%)Lizzie Luna |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Lizzie Luna 9/2, Best run since February when 6 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective 2m4f, acts on S, GS; needs to build on latest but could. Course maiden winner over 2m4f; today's greater emphasis on stamina could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -114%)Beat The Retreat |
15/2(-114%) | (6) Beat The Retreat 15/2, Returned to form to win a handicap by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time. Effective at 2m4f and handles heavy and good to soft ground; capable of following up. Stamina to prove but he is a last-time-out winner and only went up 2lb for that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -23%)Reflection Of You |
8/1(-23%) | (9) Reflection Of You 8/1, Made a series of mistakes before being pulled up in a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft and good ground; return to hurdles may prove beneficial. Returns to hurdling after four defeats over fences, though two of those were respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 -17%)Dreamings Free |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Dreamings Free 14/1, Ran to a poor level when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on good to soft and good ground; has more chance back in a weaker handicap. Runner-up over a similar trip in May but opposable on the balance of his form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 0%)Dee's Getaway |
14/1(0%) | (1) Dee's Getaway 14/1, Won by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr on her penultimate start but was a bit below form when fifth last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; needs to show more. One notable run out of three for this yard when winning over 2m at Ayr (2m, soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 +22%)Dr Shirocco |
14/1(+22%) | (11) Dr Shirocco 14/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Hexham last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on a sound surface; others appear stronger now back over hurdles. Ran poorly last time and this return to hurdles isn't an obvious positive (0-22). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +36%)Bollin Matilda |
16/1(+36%) | (8) Bollin Matilda 16/1, Found little when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective at 3m and suited by cut in the ground; needs to prove her ability remains after a long layoff. Lightly raced since her two wins in 2024 but current wellbeing is an issue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -40%)Luminaries |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Luminaries 28/1, Let down by his jumping when pulled up in a Southwell handicap chase last time. Stays 3m and prefers a sound surface; capable of a better run if jumping holds up. Four wins over hurdles and now back in this discipline after struggling over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 -122%)State Of Honor |
40/1(-122%) | (10) State Of Honor 40/1, Made mistakes and may have found the ground on the soft side when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on good ground; needs to find improvement. Runs well now and again but wouldn't appear to be crying out for this longer trip. |

(13) (50/1 -52%)Flying Sandpiper |
50/1(-52%) | (13) Flying Sandpiper 50/1, Raced far too freely when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective at 2m4f and handles good to soft ground; difficult to make a strong case for. Nine-race maiden who has only one effort of note to his name; out of the weights. |

LEADER WING was only beaten a short-head when second over C&D earlier in the month and the first-time application of a visor can help the five-year-old to go one better on this occasion, despite a 3lb rise. Beat The Retreat scored at Ayr three weeks ago and another good run can be expected here, while Lizzie Luna is best of the rest.

It's worth chancing ASA (nap) who hinted at Kelso that a revival may well be near and that was in a higher grade over shorter.

(3) (10/3 +39%)Touquet |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Touquet 10/3, Ran to form when appreciating the drop back in trip, beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Tongue-tie on for the first time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground; needs to bounce back. Inconsistent in his four chases but the two placed efforts need respect; now tongue tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +58%)Zoeman |
10/3(+58%) | (4) Zoeman 10/3, Returned to form on chase debut, doing best of those coming from off the pace when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 2m; more to come over fences and likely to stay a bit further. Five races; 574 days off before second on chase debut at Southwell (2m, soft; Catchim 2nd). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -10%)Catchim |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Catchim 11/2, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Effective up to 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground; generally consistent but a frustrating maiden. Often front-runner; 0-9 as chaser; 2nd twice before disappointing at Wetherby 16 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +31%)Grain Trade |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Grain Trade 11/2, Scored by 6l off a 12lb lower mark at Market Rasen three starts back. Something was amiss when eased and pulled up in a handicap chase latest. Effective around 2 1/2m and suited by a sound surface; had been progressing over fences, worth another chance. Unlucky not to win two in a row in October but he stopped quickly here on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -118%)Electric Eddy |
6/1(-118%) | (1) Electric Eddy 6/1, Had too much to do after conceding first run when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; consistent and remains competitive. Second at Hereford (2m) on chase debut; player on that but not proven on softer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 -33%)Pottersjetamay |
8/1(-33%) | (7) Pottersjetamay 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Southwell latest. Trainer in form. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft or good ground; inconsistent performer. 0-16; three consecutive seconds before pulled up on soft ground at Southwell latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -78%)Forcetoreckonwith |
8/1(-78%) | (8) Forcetoreckonwith 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft ground; back in form but may ideally want slightly further than 2m. Much better when second at Sedgefield (2m, soft) four weeks ago on her second chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -50%)Belle Montrose |
18/1(-50%) | (5) Belle Montrose 18/1, Won by 10l off a 6lb lower mark at Fakenham three starts back. Ran to form when tiring late on ground softer than ideal, third beaten 14l off 96 last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; progressive over fences. 2-5 over fences; not so good on last two starts, so there are mixed messages. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 +34%)Ballybay |
33/1(+34%) | (9) Ballybay 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield latest. Having his second run after a wind operation and needs to improve for switch to fences. Five races for three different stables and he lacks worthwhile form; makes chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 +34%)Walk The Plank |
66/1(+34%) | (10) Walk The Plank 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time; plenty more needed to feature on chase debut. Five races, with a 31l defeat his closest finish; him dropped in trip for this chase debut. |

TOUQUET expended a lot of energy by running freely at Lingfield last week but that third-placed effort still reads well in the context of this race. The Nick Gifford-trained six-year-old is worth another chance from the same mark, with a first-time tongue-tie tried. Electric Eddy and Forcetoreckonwith also ran zestfully on their latest starts and are other solid options to monitor in the betting. Catchim, who is a likely pace angle, drops in trip and is another to consider.

Preference is for ELECTRIC EDDY, Forcetoreckonwith and Zoeman who have had only four chase appearances between them.

(4) (9/4 +18%)Watermelon Sugar |
9/4(+18%) | (4) Watermelon Sugar 9/4, Best work came late down in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; usually held up; suited by 6f; struggling for form at present. Last two wins have come over C&D from marks in the low 60s; very much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 -14%)It's Showtime |
4/1(-14%) | (8) It's Showtime 4/1, Ran to form in a new headgear combination, strong at the finish when beaten a neck off this mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts on the all-weather; capable off this mark. Did well to go so close after again blowing the start here a week ago; just 1-30; risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +59%)Nordic Glory |
9/2(+59%) | (1) Nordic Glory 9/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in September; too keen, didn't get home last time; suited by 6f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Five wins here; pulled too hard last time but respected if settling better down in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 +9%)Beau Jardine |
5/1(+9%) | (9) Beau Jardine 5/1, Did not get home and again below best when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 6-8f, acts on the all-weather; on a lengthy losing run. Looks fairly treated at present, but a losing run of 23 does raise questions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/2 +21%)Forest Gunner |
11/2(+21%) | (10) Forest Gunner 11/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; again found little when sixth last time; effective 5f, acts on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Heavy defeats in three previous attempts at 6f are a cause for concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -25%)Hannah's Return |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Hannah's Return 10/1, Late gains from the rear when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; needs to prove ability remains after absence. Met trouble when keeping on at Wolverhampton last time; 2lb below last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -118%)I Can Imagine |
12/1(-118%) | (2) I Can Imagine 12/1, Lacked the pace to get involved despite the rise in trip when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6-8f, acts on the all-weather; maiden but running well lately. Is proving consistent, but is now 0-18; others more compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +25%)Mammy |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Mammy 12/1, Below form when stepped up in trip, beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-7f on the all-weather; on a competitive mark. 1-24; didn't get home over C&D a week ago and races off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -22%)Flicka's Girl |
22/1(-22%) | (6) Flicka's Girl 22/1, Never competitive when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 5/6f, acts on the all-weather; has lost form of late. 2lb below last winning mark, but out of the frame in five previous attempts at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (22/1 +21%)World Of Darcy |
22/1(+21%) | (11) World Of Darcy 22/1, Eased off and again ran poorly when down the field in a handicap at Kempton last time; suited by 6f on the all-weather; remains badly out of form. Unplaced in last 15 starts since and was completely tailed off at Kempton last Wednesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 +38%)Henry Tudor |
25/1(+38%) | (3) Henry Tudor 25/1, Again ran to a modest level when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; hood first time; has speed in his pedigree but yet to shine in handicaps. Well held in five starts; needs the return to this trip to make a difference; hood on. |

The winning post came too soon for IT'S SHOWTIME over the minimum trip here a week ago. Beaten only a neck on that occasion, she finished with a wet sail from off the pace and looks well worth another try over this extra furlong. I Can Imagine has been in the mix at Wolverhampton of late and warrants respect, while Nordic Glory could bounce back.

The selection is WATERMELON SUGAR whose record over C&D reads 112 and who caught the eye at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago.

(4) (7/4 +30%)Hawthorn Road |
7/4(+30%) | (4) Hawthorn Road 7/4, Berkshire gelding; dam an unraced half-sister to two winning hurdlers and out of a half-sister to the very smart chaser Hey Big Spender. Probably best watched on debut. Newcomer; stable gets bumper winners so one to note in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/2 +44%)Kilaro |
5/2(+44%) | (6) Kilaro 5/2, Improved to get off the mark in a point at Garthorpe by 4l recently. Effective at 2m4f in points and one to consider on debut. Back from 604 days off to win a small-field British 2m4f point on good ground a month ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +27%)Forever Louie |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Forever Louie 4/1, Showed some promise on debut, though well beaten in a bumper at Catterick on his only start. Effective at 2m but likely to want further once hurdling; needs more to win this. Beaten nearly 20l in a good-ground bumper at Catterick but the first two are promising. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -78%)Circle Of Steel |
4/1(-78%) | (1) Circle Of Steel 4/1, Beaumec De Houelle gelding; first foal; dam a French hurdles and chase winner from 2m to 2m5f. Won't need to be anything special to make a winning debut for a top yard. First foal out of a French 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner; likely contender for strong yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -60%)Karma De Cotte |
16/1(-60%) | (5) Karma De Cotte 16/1, Produced best effort so far when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden point at Toomebridge latest. Returns from a long layoff and was effective at 3m in points; a contender. 0-5 in Irish points and it was a weak race in which he threatened in early October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -127%)Return To Florida |
25/1(-127%) | (7) Return To Florida 25/1, Unseated early in a point at Friars Haugh last time. Returns from a long layoff but should be effective at 2m-2m4f under rules; holds a chance in a weak race. Not shown a lot between the flags but Brian Hughes is a positive booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 +0%)Executive Producer |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Executive Producer 33/1, Confirmed debut promise when third beaten 14l in a maiden point at Castletown-Geoghegan last time. Returns from a long absence with a first-time tongue-tie; needs to improve on rules debut. Ran well to be third in an Irish point (3m, yielding) in October 2024. |

Forever Louie should put his experience to good use after his sixth at Catterick a month ago. That said, preference is for KILARO, who won an English point for this jockey in November and he could make a winning debut under Rules. Return To Florida edges out Circle Of Steel to be the pick of the remainder.

Circle Of Steel is interesting but a chance is taken on RETURN TO FLORIDA for whom Brian Hughes looks a notable booking.

(6) (2/1 -140%)Milpat |
2/1(-140%) | (6) Milpat 2/1, Very promising debut when runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a juvenile bumper at Moulins on his only start. Returning from a long layoff. Effective over 12f and acts on soft ground; showed promise in France and that form franked; should remain competitive on stable debut. Staying-on second of 12 at Moulins (1m4f, very soft) in France in April was an encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/4 +36%)Viscountess Nelson |
9/4(+36%) | (5) Viscountess Nelson 9/4, Made a very promising debut when winning a maiden at Ballysteen by 1 1/2l. Looks an likely alternative here starting out under rules for top connections. Won Irish mares' maiden point in April; £40,000 sale in May; one to note from a top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +0%)Hitintheheadlines |
5/2(+0%) | (1) Hitintheheadlines 5/2, Bit free but a promising debut when 4l third in a bumper at Ascot on his most recent run. Effective over 2m and acts on good ground. Should improve for that initial experience; a point winner likely to stay further in time. Easy Irish point winner; promising when never-nearer third of six in Ascot bumper (good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +20%)Winston's Oath |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Winston's Oath 16/1, Quickened clear but made his move too soon, showing minor promise when well beaten in a juvenile bumper at Wetherby on debut. Effective over 2m and acts on soft ground; could improve if ridden a little more patiently. Leading 1m out to over 1f out at Wetherby (2m, soft; 17-2) 16 days ago showed some ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 +39%)Otie's Friend |
20/1(+39%) | (3) Otie's Friend 20/1, 22,000 euros Jet Away gelding; half-brother to Best Trition, who was a fair performer over 24f. 22,000euros foal; needs a market check but others are higher up the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (50/1 -52%)Hobnail |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Hobnail 50/1, £8,000 Jack Hobbs gelding; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; dam a hurdles and chase winner but over 3m. £8,000 yearling; second foal; dam useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner; tongue tied on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -52%)Potters Honour |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Potters Honour 50/1, Flag Of Honour filly; dam a bumper and hrudles winner; the trainer is in form; of interest. First foal; dam bumper and fairly useful 2m hurdle winner; trainer won a bumper in 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (150/1 -20%)Potters Angeltiers |
150/1(-20%) | (4) Potters Angeltiers 150/1, Outpaced and produced a poor effort when well beaten in a maiden bumper at Market Rasen last time. The trainer is in form, and she should be effective at 2m, but she is hard to fancy. Triple-figure odds when behind in her two bumpers. |

With a pedigree blending speed and stamina, VISCOUNTESS NELSON is an intriguing Rules debutant for the powerful Nicky Henderson yard. The daughter of Mount Nelson was a cosy winner on her sole start in a point-to-point and is in the right hands to have big impact in a race of this nature. Hitintheheadlines has a similar background and is open to any amount of improvement after a respectable third in a bumper at Ascot last month. Milpat is the pick of the rest.

This is probably a good opportunity for HITINTHEHEADLINES who shaped so nicely at Ascot one month ago.

7/4(+22%) | (9) Tommy's Promise 7/4, Improved again, scored with plenty in hand landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 8-10f, acts well on AW; improving fast and can defy penalty. Bids for a hat-trick under a 5lb penalty, but latest C&D win has already been franked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 +0%)Bintazzo |
9/4(+0%) | (6) Bintazzo 9/4, Ran to form tried in blinkers when beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on GS, GF and AW; go well again if blinkers work as well a second time. Beaten only a neck over C&D last month by a subsequent winner; open to further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 -22%)Crafter |
11/1(-22%) | (5) Crafter 11/1, Below form but with excuses when down the field in a Wolverhampton handicap most recently. Off a short break; best around 10f and suited by all-weather. Needs to bounce back. Back off his last winning mark, but something to prove back from another break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -85%)Enough Already |
12/1(-85%) | (1) Enough Already 12/1, Returned to form when back up in trip, beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time. Effective 8-12f, acts on all-weather. On a competitive mark. Three course wins and third over C&D a fortnight ago; considered from the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 -67%)Mullwarchar |
20/1(-67%) | (7) Mullwarchar 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Wears a hood for the first time; effective 7-9f and acts on all-weather. Bit to prove back up in trip. 0-6, but the longer trip should suit on breeding; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -83%)Ocean Heights |
22/1(-83%) | (2) Ocean Heights 22/1, Below form back on the Flat when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective 10-12f, acts on all-weather. Now below last winning mark. AW form since winning on Polytrack early last year reads 980965506. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 -10%)Si Solus |
22/1(-10%) | (4) Si Solus 22/1, Didn't get home when ridden from the front tried in blinkers, finishing down the field in a Southwell handicap most recently. Effective 11/12f, acts on all-weather. Blinkers retained. 0-6; regressed in his last four starts; plenty to prove down in trip on Polytrack debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 -127%)Sands Of Havana |
25/1(-127%) | (8) Sands Of Havana 25/1, Remained below spring best when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time. Effective 5-7f on all-weather. Needs to find improvement. 0-8; some encouragement in her pedigree for this first venture beyond 7f, but not solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 -471%)Fool Again |
80/1(-471%) | (3) Fool Again 80/1, Produced her best run of 2025 when upped in trip, beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Effective 7-11f, acts on all-weather. Has a chance if building on that effort. 0-8; changed hands for 37,000gns this month and needs to improve on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 -400%)Banksman |
80/1(-400%) | (10) Banksman 80/1, Stopped quickly and ran below his maiden hurdle form when well beaten in a Wincanton handicap hurdle latest. Effective 7/8f, suited by all-weather. Progressive on the Flat this summer. Won two 0-50 classified events on turf in June, but others more persuasive back on AW. |

Bintazzo gave notice she could be winning soon when narrowly beaten here last time, while Enough Already also posted a better effort when a close third at this track a fortnight ago. However, both will need to improve further to get the better of TOMMY'S PROMISE in his current form. An easy winner at Chelmsford, he landed a brace with another emphatic victory over C&D a week ago and the hat-trick beckons for John Ryan's charge.

Preference is for BINTAZZO (nap) who ran a subsequent winner to a neck over C&D last month and remains open to further improvement.

(10) (9/4 +25%)Sunshine And Roses |
9/4(+25%) | (10) Sunshine And Roses 9/4, Trapped on the rails at a key stage and better than the bare form when fourth beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden here last time; suited by 7f to 9f and can go well. Exposed maiden but conditions suit and she has the best form; obvious claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 +10%)Galileo Blue |
3/1(+10%) | (6) Galileo Blue 3/1, Improved from his debut when stepped up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 2 1/2l in a novice at Kempton last time; stays 8f; the drop to 7f should not be an issue and he can go well. Big step forward on his 2nd start (1m) but he was well placed in a steadily run affair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 -33%)Free Your Spirit |
10/3(-33%) | (2) Free Your Spirit 10/3, Failed to meet market expectations when 4l fourth in a novice at Lingfield first time out; effective at 8f; the drop to 7f may suit. Couldn't justify heavy support in a slowly run race at Lingfield last week; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +27%)Meritocratic |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Meritocratic 11/2, Improved on a moderate debut when beaten 3l in a maiden at Chelmsford last time; the trainer is in form; effective at 7f and may progress once handicapped. Better run when front-running 6th at Chelmsford last month; widest stall not ideal though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +0%)Okiru |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Okiru 6/1, Improved markedly despite being made plenty of use of when 2 1/2l third in a novice at Newcastle on his latest run; stays 7f and could progress further. Second run was better than his debut but he enjoyed the benefit of an easy lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -60%)Baggie Boy |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Baggie Boy 16/1, 5 May; Sergei Prokofiev gelding; half-brother to Habitual, moderate at 7f; tough enough task on debut even if what looks a weak race. Half-brother to a winner (6.7f-1m2f) in Italy; doesn't have a daunting standard to aim at. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 +45%)Backfire |
22/1(+45%) | (9) Backfire 22/1, Made late headway and ran to a similar level as on debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Chelmsford last time; off a short break; bred to be effective from 6f to 8f, so the longer trip is a plus. Promise in two 6f runs for Peter Chapple-Hyam in October; 7f should suit on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -56%)Hamish Leek |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Hamish Leek 25/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when beaten 9l in a maiden at Chelmsford last time; the trainer is in form; effective at 7f; the type to do better in handicaps. Modest form in two 7f Polytrack maidens this autumn; bred to do better in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (80/1 +20%)Sunday Sinatra |
80/1(+20%) | (7) Sunday Sinatra 80/1, Has shown no worthwhile form and returns from a break; yet to find suitable conditions and may do better once handicapped. Tailed off in three runs (6f-7f); impossible to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (80/1 +20%)Telling Time |
80/1(+20%) | (8) Telling Time 80/1, Never a factor on debut when finishing down the field in a novice at Kempton last time; yet to find suitable conditions and looks one for handicaps. Poor form in three runs for Mark Usher; gelding operation and new yard but hard to fancy. |

Okiru attempted to make all when third at Newcastle last time, while both Galileo Blue and Meritocratic also led for a long way on their latest starts. That trio should ensure a good pace and that could play into the hands of FREE YOUR SPIRIT. Inexperience got the better of Richard Hughes' charge when sent off odds-on at Lingfield on debut and finishing only fourth. He'll know more now and is taken to make amends.

Backfire is respected on her stable debut but SUNSHINE AND ROSES looks to have been found a good opening.

(1) (11/8 +0%)American Flight |
11/8(+0%) | (1) American Flight 11/8, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time, having the run of the race. Suited by 5/6f and a sound surface; reliable and progressive. Chasing a four-timer; drops to 5f and should give it another good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +62%)U S S Charleston |
5/2(+62%) | (3) U S S Charleston 5/2, Below form when down the field in a nursery at Nottingham on ground too soft last time; off a short break. Effective at 5f, acts on all-weather; return to this surface in his favour but needs more. Ground an excuse last time but he is now 0-7 and needs to pull out more to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +0%)Canyouhearthedrums |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Canyouhearthedrums 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time. Effective at 5/6f, acts on all-weather; on a fair mark. Two fair AW runs after a break but she needs a lift from the new headgar. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +54%)Mister Moet |
13/2(+54%) | (5) Mister Moet 13/2, Head high and unenthusiastic under pressure when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Newcastle latest. Suited by 6f, acts on all-weather; not the most resolute of late. Drop to an easy 5f could suit and he's slipped a long way down the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -100%)Beach Partee |
9/1(-100%) | (4) Beach Partee 9/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield on his penultimate start; made too much use last time. Effective at 5/6f, acts on all-weather; can be erratic. Won three of his last six but he was disappointing last time; has bounced back before. |

AMERICAN FLIGHT made every yard over 6f at Kempton to land a treble. The daughter of Starspangledbanner reverts to the minimum trip raised only 3lb and George Boughey's progressive filly may not have finished winning yet. Beach Partee is hard to catch right, but has a shout if producing one of his better efforts, while U S S Charleston finished a close fourth over C&D on his all-weather debut in October and could be in the mix.

Mister Moet might benefit from dropping to 5f but AMERICAN FLIGHT is on the up and can complete her four-timer.

11/4(+39%) | (1) Em Jay Kay 11/4, Scored by a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back but was below form when seventh last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; needs to bounce back. C&D winner but all handicap success has come over 6f; still likely to go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/4 +39%)Amerjeet |
11/4(+39%) | (5) Amerjeet 11/4, Ran to form and finished best late when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; can go well again. Eye-catching stable debut here nine days ago; Billy Loughnane booked; well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +0%)Nad Alshiba Snow |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Nad Alshiba Snow 9/2, Made late headway and ran to her recent level when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 5f and acts on all-weather; looks to be running into form. Keeping on over 5f in three runs for new stable this winter; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -25%)Gustav Graves |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Gustav Graves 5/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark here in November and ran to form when fourth last time. Suited by 5f and acts on all-weather but needs more off this mark. Seven-time course winner; held form since the latest of them last month; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 -44%)Forever Noah |
13/2(-44%) | (6) Forever Noah 13/2, Bit keen but did his best work late when beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 6-8f and acts on all-weather; ran to form last time out. Promising 3rd here (6f) latest; drops to 5f but no surprise to see him in the thick of it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -11%)Wedgewood |
10/1(-11%) | (3) Wedgewood 10/1, May have needed the run when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. From a top course trainer, effective at 5f and acts on all-weather; could improve for that outing. Conditions ideal and she has landed stall 1; sharper for recent return; much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -78%)Spendmore Lane |
16/1(-78%) | (4) Spendmore Lane 16/1, Below form and a bit short of room when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Usually held up with a wide draw; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; better than the result suggests. 0-11 but has ability and things will drop right for her one day. |

Gustav Graves has been thereabouts since recording last month's seventh course victory and could shape well again. However, WEDGEWOOD looks more attractively handicapped. Tony Carroll's sprinter scored here in April and holds every chance given a recent pipe-opener at Lingfield is likely to have brought her on a great deal. Forever Noah drops in trip with a shout and could prove pick of the remainder.

An interesting race in which FOREVER NOAH is taken to get the better of Amerjeet and Wedgewood.

9/4(+50%) | (5) Stash The Cash 9/4, Ran to a similar level when beaten 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Suited by 5f and effective on the all-weather. Needs to find a bit more. Two fair runs for new yard but he needs to raise his game a notch to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +0%)Bluebells Boy |
5/2(+0%) | (1) Bluebells Boy 5/2, Ran to form when beaten 1/4l off this mark at Chelmsford last time. Drawn wide but effective over 5f to 6f and performs well on the all-weather. Solid chance off the same mark. C&D winner who arrives in good form; drawn widest but should go well once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +11%)Papa Don't Preach |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Papa Don't Preach 4/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Effective at 5f to 6f and acts on the all-weather. Looks fairly treated. Infrequent winner but usually gives his running; each-way claims at least. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -18%)Colors Of Freedom |
13/2(-18%) | (7) Colors Of Freedom 13/2, Ran to a similar level when beaten 3/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 5f and goes well on the all-weather. Capable off this mark. Conditions to suit, on a fair mark and ran well at Lingfield last week; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -78%)Street Life |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Street Life 8/1, Showed a good attitude when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form and suited by 5f on the all-weather. Respected. Made all over C&D three weeks ago; up 4lb and other pace to deal with. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -50%)Desert Champion |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Desert Champion 12/1, Found little when beaten 9l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is effective at 5f on the all-weather. Needs to bounce back. Went close when gambled on at Newcastle last month; less good last time; headgear change. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +18%)Coast |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Coast 33/1, Below form when tried in blinkers and beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Enjoys making the running and effective over 6f on the all-weather. Regressive type. Not at her best of late and dropping back to 5f isn't enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 +0%)Isla Bella |
50/1(+0%) | (6) Isla Bella 50/1, Too keen in a first-time visor when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f but difficult to fancy on current form. Struggled in two runs for new yard; accessories left off; opposable despite weights drop. |

Papa Don't Preach hasn't tasted success since October 2024 but is now back to that winning mark after his respectable fourth at Kempton, so he is one to watch out for. Last-time-out C&D scorer Street Life boasts obvious claims, but it may pay to side with BLUEBELLS BOY. Hayley Burton's gelding produced another solid effort when third at Chelmsford on Thursday and could be rewarded for his consistency on this occasion.

Papa Don't Preach is frustrating but he should go well again. Narrow preference is for COLORS OF FREEDOM under conditions that suit.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -100%)Caramay |
5/1(-100%) | (7) Caramay 5/1, Travelled well and won with plenty in hand when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; usually held up; effective from 10f to 11f; respected up 4lb. Good course record and she arrives on the back of a ready Southwell win (1m4f); key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 +0%)Bint Al Daar |
11/2(+0%) | (8) Bint Al Daar 11/2, Better than the result when beaten 2l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; effective from 8f to 10f and capable off this rating. Good record over C&D; third to Lady Of Arabia at Chelmsford last time; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 -22%)Liv My Life |
11/2(-22%) | (9) Liv My Life 11/2, Produced her best run since January when just outlasted and beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective from 7f to 9f; inconsistent performer. Near miss over 8.6f here last month; up in trip/class today; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -14%)Loving Look |
8/1(-14%) | (5) Loving Look 8/1, Ran to form in new headgear when beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective from 10f to 14f and edging down to a fair mark. Ran okay on recent stable debut (1m4f); drops in trip and lurks on a dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +10%)Post Rider |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Post Rider 9/1, Won by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Newmarket on her penultimate start; below form off her new mark last time; effective at 8/9f but faces a tougher task now. All wins on turf but has AW form; type to bounce back from poor Kempton run 19 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -13%)Aiming High |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Aiming High 9/1, Too keen and a bit below form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; had been in good form prior; effective from 9f to 12f; drop in trip may help. Two 1m4f wins this year; not handicapped out of things if drop in trip proves no hindrance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +33%)Cancelled |
12/1(+33%) | (1) Cancelled 12/1, Needed the run on stable debut when finishing down the field in a handicap at Lingfield last time; returning from a long layoff; effective at 10/11f; still appears too high in the weights and unproven on this surface. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on stable debut in January; down in class; betting to guide. |

It's a surprise to see Caramay take a drop in distance after her good performance to score over 1m4f at Southwell recently, but she does travel as if she will cope with it. Even so, BINT AL DAAR looks the way to go. Kevin Frost's two-time C&D winner finished a close third behind Lady Of Arabia (winner) at Chelmsford at the start of the month but competes off better terms this time around.

A competitive race of its type. Bint Al Daar and CARAMAY both boast good C&D records and can fight out the finish.

8/13(+15%) | (1) Time Loop 8/13, Overcame a long absence to get off the mark in style when winning a novice at Chelmsford by 4 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f; looked useful last time and can defy a penalty. Long layoff before well on top in a 5-runner Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW); useful prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (2/1 +27%)Sweet Princess |
2/1(+27%) | (10) Sweet Princess 2/1, Sea The Stars filly; half-sister to Arabic Legend, a Listed-placed 2yo scorer; dam very smart at 10f; commands respect on belated debut for top trainer. By Sea The Stars; with powerful connections, she needs a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +10%)Rastnet |
9/2(+10%) | (8) Rastnet 9/2, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in a novice at Chelmsford last time; effective at 8f; could have a say with the longer trip likely to suit. Fair form; bred to stay further than 1m and plenty suggests she should still do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -10%)Abingworth |
11/1(-10%) | (2) Abingworth 11/1, Outpaced when pulled up in a handicap chase at Newbury last time; effective at 12f on the Flat; drops in grade from previous Flat run but may do better once handicapping. Winning jumper; significant Flat ability in two Flat turf runs (1m6f/1m4f) this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -122%)Moonrunner |
40/1(-122%) | (4) Moonrunner 40/1, Sixties Icon gelding; half-brother to Frenzified, very useful at 12f; dam useful at 10f; from a respected yard but others make more appeal on debut. Sixth foal; Sixties Icon half-brother to three winners; market can guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 -164%)Sahara Sunset |
66/1(-164%) | (9) Sahara Sunset 66/1, 52,000gns Territories filly; half-sister to several winners ranging from 6f to 12f, including Carausius, useful at 12f; unlikely to make a winning debut. 52,000gns yearling by Territories; on debut, probably up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (100/1 +50%)Miss Helena |
100/1(+50%) | (7) Miss Helena 100/1, Again ran to a poor level when last of eight at 300-1 in a Huntingdon bumper; yet to show any real signs of ability; all to do on Flat debut. Big odds, remote in two Huntingdon bumpers; eyeshield is removed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (125/1 -25%)Power Quest |
125/1(-25%) | (5) Power Quest 125/1, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a novice at Chelmsford last time; dam a winner up to 16f; type to do better once handicapping. Record in bumpers and two AW Flat novices (7f/1m) suggests he is best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 -127%)Ned Broy |
150/1(-127%) | (3) Ned Broy 150/1, Again showed ability when fourth beaten 11l in a novice at Newcastle last time; dam a 1m4f winner; longer trip a plus but may need more time. Work to do judged on both starts and his better effort was on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 -127%)Calypso Bloom |
150/1(-127%) | (6) Calypso Bloom 150/1, 11,000gns Ulysses filly; half-sister to Percy Prosecco, fair at 12f; dam moderate at 5f at 2yo; makes no appeal on debut. 11,000gns foal; Ulysses half-sister to 11.4f-1m6f Flat (RPR 74) and a 2m hurdle winner. |

This revolves around TIME LOOP after she overcome a long absence to make a deep impression at Chelmsford last month. The daughter of Lope De Vega won with ease that day and is an exciting type that can score again on her way to bigger assignments. Rastnet has improved with each start, most recently hitting the woodwork over a mile at Chelmsford and further improvement could be forthcoming from this step up in trip. Newcomer Sweet Princess warrants a market check.

It was an awfully long time between TIME LOOP's first and second races but he showed plenty in both, asserting in fine style last month.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 -50%)Francesi |
9/2(-50%) | (8) Francesi 9/2, Improved to win with a bit in hand when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; from a top course trainer; suited by 8/9f with all recent form on the all-weather; can go well off new mark. C&D second last month worked out really well and he's since bolted up at Newcastle; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -11%)First Greyed |
5/1(-11%) | (7) First Greyed 5/1, Ran to form when dropped in trip and beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective from 7-9f and on the all-weather; capable but needs more. Conditions to suit and on last winning mark; promising 4th here nine days ago; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +50%)Coolree |
6/1(+50%) | (6) Coolree 6/1, Below form despite the drop in trip when comfortably held in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective from 8-10f and on any surface; needs more to feature. Well short of his best on last two starts; hopes rest on a change of stable reviving him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +14%)The Sweet Escape |
6/1(+14%) | (5) The Sweet Escape 6/1, Best work late tried in cheekpieces beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; blinkers first time; effective 7/8f, acts on Hy, G and AW; can go well off this mark. Yet to win but latest Chelmsford 3rd was a solid effort; new headgear tried this evening. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +0%)Equion |
9/1(+0%) | (9) Equion 9/1, Didn't get home and finished below form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; trained by a top course trainer; effective at 8/9f and on any surface; needs more but capable if bouncing back. Should be well treated now but stable have more obvious claims with Francesi. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +9%)Love Your Work |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Love Your Work 10/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chelmsford on his penultimate start; below form, held when hampered late last time; suited by 8-10f and the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Prolific winner but he failed to fire at Chelmsford 11 days ago; accessories off tonight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -54%)Toralou |
10/1(-54%) | (2) Toralou 10/1, Didn't get home when upped in trip and beaten 1/4l off this mark here last time; suited by 8f and a sound surface; capable off this mark. Lower mark on AW than turf and went close over C&D last month; one to consider. |

Francesi comfortably got his head back in front at this level at Newcastle earlier this month and is respected, despite a 5lb higher rating. First-time blinkers might eke out more from The Sweet Escape and he is noted, but the vote goes to JOSEPH, who is still searching for his first victory after 13 starts. However, his runner-up effort at Newcastle last month was a lot more like it, and this might be the day.

Toralou and Francesi can feature prominently but FIRST GREYED shaped well here nine days ago and this could be his day.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 -38%)Zooks |
11/4(-38%) | (3) Zooks 11/4, Travelled well and did her best work late when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective up to 16f and acts on good, good to firm and all-weather; a consistent sort. Consistent this year; close third over C&D, short head behind Damzon and 1l ahead of Tuba. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +0%)Star Of Jupiter |

Consistent at about 2m on turf; didn't get run of the race when trying C&D on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +54%)Hedonista |
11/2(+54%) | (2) Hedonista 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective over 12-16f and acts on good and all-weather; can go well again. Only once thereabouts in her eight starts for new yard; had wind surgery since latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -60%)Damzon |
8/1(-60%) | (6) Damzon 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; from a top course trainer; effective 12-16f and acts on all-weather; capable off this mark. Recent C&D second was closest she's come; she got first run on close 3rd Zooks that day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -18%)Corsican Caper |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Corsican Caper 10/1, Too keen but just about ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 12-16f and acts on heavy, good to soft and all-weather; consistent at a modest level but on a losing run. AW record now stands at 1-25 and he needs better than he's shown in recent outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +45%)Mostly Mozart |
18/1(+45%) | (9) Mostly Mozart 18/1, Lost any chance at the start when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective at 10f on all-weather but unproven beyond that; difficult to make a case for. 0-12; third on handicap debut here (9.4f) in January but a major uphill struggle since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -100%)Hiconic |
22/1(-100%) | (7) Hiconic 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time and now returns from a break; effective over 14f but hard to fancy on her first Flat run since 2022. Pulled up over hurdles on latest start; the latest of her ten Flat races was in May 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -32%)Lawmans Blis |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Lawmans Blis 66/1, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently; effective 10-14f and suited by all-weather; out of form since returning from hurdling. Showed some spark in June but recent results do not augur well. |

The key piece of form to focus on might be DAMZON's second over track and trip earlier this month. With Zooks (third) and Tuba (fourth) behind, the daughter of Jack Hobbs outran odds of 20/1 and can prove that display was no fluke by going one better. Star Of Jupiter suffered interference at a crucial stage when fourth over C&D in October and might get closer on this occasion under Luke Morris.

The reliable ZOOKS gains a narrow vote, having been a short behind Damzon here last time. Star Of Jupiter can pose a threat.

(4) (2/1 +56%)Fifty Nifty |
2/1(+56%) | (4) Fifty Nifty 2/1, Ran to form despite not best of runs late beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 6-8f, wants sound surface; could bounce back. 0-9 this year but on a dangerous mark and building up to something bigger; interesting. |

(1) (10/3 -11%)Dyrholaey |
10/3(-11%) | (1) Dyrholaey 10/3, Didn't get home when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective over 5/6f and acts on the all-weather; can bounce back returned to this venue. Solid front-running effort at Newcastle nine days ago; easier test will suit; contender. |

(2) (4/1 -20%)Aberama Gold |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Aberama Gold 4/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 6f and acts on the all-weather; former Stewards' Cup winner who can go well again up 2lb. Three wins in 2025 and latest Newcastle 2nd another solid run; up 2lb but right in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +11%)Lethal Nymph |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Lethal Nymph 4/1, Won by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; below form when eighth last time; effective over 5/6f and acts on the all-weather; better than showed latest. C&D winner but this year's success has come over 5f; not at best last time; revival needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -57%)Papa Cocktail |
11/1(-57%) | (6) Papa Cocktail 11/1, Won by 4l off a 7lb lower mark here in October; made late gains and ran to form when fifth last time; usually held up; suited by 6f and acts on the all-weather; can go well again. Easy C&D win in October; good placed efforts on next two starts; below par latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -140%)Accrual |
12/1(-140%) | (5) Accrual 12/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell in September; made late gains from the rear and ran to form last time; effective at 5f and acts on the all-weather; respected off this mark. Good 2nd here (5f) last week; can pull hard so stepping up to 6f a slight query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +0%)Brian The Snail |
22/1(+0%) | (7) Brian The Snail 22/1, Took a step back in the right direction when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective over 5/6f and acts on the all-weather; needs more off this mark. Veteran C&D winner; sharper for recent return from a break but still likely vulnerable. |

The application of an eye-shield brought out improvement in ACCRUAL as he made his way through the field to finish second in this grade over 5f here last month, and this looks a good opportunity to record his fourth career success. The class-dropping Lethal Nymph has to be considered, despite only managing an underwhelming eighth when favourite at Newcastle last time. Of the remainder, Aberama Gold makes the most appeal.

Dyrholaey should go well from the plum draw but FIFTY NIFTY (nap) looks to be building up to something bigger. He's unexposed at 6f.

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.
