1st (9) (10/3 +17%)Mad Unicorn |
10/3(+17%) | (9) Mad Unicorn 10/3 Close second at Southwell on Friday but she's exposed and this return to 6f is a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (12/1 -41%)Blindfold Games |
12/1(-41%) | (7) Blindfold Games 12/1 Unexposed filly but she needs a transformation back in trip on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 +33%)Houdini Miss |
5/1(+33%) | (6) Houdini Miss 5/1 Inconsistent filly who is 1-9 and comes with risks attached after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 +0%)Slack Bob |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Slack Bob 6/1 Promising fifth at Chelmsford (7f) last time and he needs a close look on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +45%)Must Be Ten |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Must Be Ten 11/2 Five-race maiden and he's finished down the field in both nurseries; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 -20%)Corniche Girl |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Corniche Girl 4/1 Record of 1-10 but she's finished close up on Polytrack in last two starts; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (40/1 -186%)Electrocution |
40/1(-186%) | (10) Electrocution 40/1 Well held at massive prices in novice/maiden events; needs improvement on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/1 -13%)Stock Market |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Stock Market 9/1 Ex-Aidan O'Brien; changed hands for 9,000gns and market should guide on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (18/1 -80%)Real Gold |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Real Gold 18/1 No impact in four runs but she still has potential and this is more realistic. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (20/1 -82%)Shotgun |
20/1(-82%) | (5) Shotgun 20/1 Well-bred filly and she's a possible improver with tongue-tie added on nursery debut. |

Having been sent off at big prices for each of her four starts in maiden/novice company, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Real Gold produce a much better effort on her nursery debut. Similar comments apply to Slack Bob for the Ed Dunlop team, but the vote goes to CORNICHE GIRL. Already a winner over this trip, Richard Hannon's juvenile might have found the drop to the minimum distance against her last time and could bounce back.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with Kempton winner CORNICHE GIRL, who was a close fourth here last time.

1st (2) (8/15 +57%)Angel Gabriel |
8/15(+57%) | (2) Angel Gabriel 8/15 Runner-up in both starts (turf/Tapeta) last month and he sets the standard; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/2 +29%)Hen Party |
5/2(+29%) | (7) Hen Party 5/2 Gone close in last two starts and latest was on AW at Newcastle (6f); respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -140%)Sparksmith |
18/1(-140%) | (4) Sparksmith 18/1 65,000euros breeze-up 2yo; yard has had a 2yo winner recently; needs watching in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/1 -20%)Bluebluelectricblu |
9/1(-20%) | (5) Bluebluelectricblu 9/1 Eyecatching fourth at Wolverhampton last time and she's a player if she can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (50/1 -150%)Musical Soldier |
50/1(-150%) | (3) Musical Soldier 50/1 Finished in the rear in two turf runs in June; has been gelded and a hood is now added. |

A silver medallist on both of his career starts, Angel Gabriel boasts obvious claims but the fact he failed to justify cramped odds at Southwell last time tempers enthusiasm. Therefore, it might be worth taking a chance on CRYINGINTHERAIN, who wasn't able to live up to market expectations when well beaten on debut at the same venue in October. That is unlikely to be her true running and she could prove a different proposition second time up. Hen Party completes the shortlist.

Top of the list is ANGEL GABRIEL who has finished second in both his runs including behind a useful prospect at Southwell 24 days ago.

1st (8) (5/1 +0%)Prends Garde A Toi |
5/1(+0%) | (8) Prends Garde A Toi 5/1 Promise on chase debut at Galway, out of depth on latest, could rebound, place shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/2 -22%)King Alexander |
11/2(-22%) | (5) King Alexander 11/2 4-13 over hurdles and rated 136, testing ground a worry, Townend prefers stablemate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/13 +15%)Funiculi Funicula |
8/13(+15%) | (3) Funiculi Funicula 8/13 Grade 1 placed over hurdles, preferred by Townend, obvious chance for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (300/1 -50%)Mighty Jeremy |
300/1(-50%) | (7) Mighty Jeremy 300/1 rated 108 over hurdles, tailed off on chase debut in March, this looks too demanding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 +33%)Meet And Greet |
8/1(+33%) | (6) Meet And Greet 8/1 143-rated hurdler, won maiden here, never sighted on chase debut latest, ground a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (25/1 +38%)Magic Mccolgan |
25/1(+38%) | (10) Magic Mccolgan 25/1 119 rated hurdler, saddle slipped when pulled up on chase debut, Townend looks elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 -52%)Harbour Highway |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Harbour Highway 50/1 Bumper and point winner, rated just 110 over hurdles, tailed off on chase debut at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (50/1 +0%)Fenway Park |
50/1(+0%) | (2) Fenway Park 50/1 Maiden hurdle winner in May 2024, no joy since, modest run on chase debut latest, watch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (14/1 0%)Bottler'secret |
14/1(0%) | (1) Bottler'secret 14/1 Smart juvenile, hasn't really fired this year, now tries chasing, others preferred. |

FUNICULI FUNICULA was a smart sort over hurdles and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred of Willie Mullins' three runners. The easy winner of a Clonmel maiden on soft ground, he was subsequently campaigned at Grade 1 level and was only beaten just over a length behind Honesty Policy at Aintree. Stablemates King Alexander and Magic McColgan also showed a good level of form over hurdles, while Prends Garde A Toi made a bright start over fences when second to Will The Wise at Galway but needs to bounce back after disappointing in a Grade 2 at Punchestown.

Paul Townend prefers the chances of the smart novice hurdler FUNICULI FUNICULA and this looks a nice starting point for him over fences

1st (9) (18/1 -260%)Felicitas |
18/1(-260%) | (9) Felicitas 18/1, 12 Feb; first foal; 150,000gns Teofilo filly; dam a winner in France at around 8f; newcomers from the yard often benefit from a run. 150,000gns yearling; trip should suit on debut; market can offer some clues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 +50%)Allaire |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Allaire 7/2, 28 Feb; Study Of Man filly; half-sister to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarovf; dam high-class at 10f; top course trainer and could easily have a say on debut. High-class pedigree; yard 12% with 2yos here in last 5 years; market check a must. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -20%)Estissa |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Estissa 12/1, 31 Jan; Dubawi filly; dam top-class at 10f, winning top-level events in France and the US; could have a say on debut. By Dubawi out of Group 1/Grade 1 winner in France/US for this yard; possible squeak. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/6 +33%)Al Qaysiyya |
5/6(+33%) | (4) Al Qaysiyya 5/6, Game and back to form, settling well when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice at Kempton latest. Trainer in form and should benefit from this trip; looks the one to beat. All runs at 7f, the best two efforts on debut and at Kempton recently; obvious contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (50/1 -400%)Poor Relation |
50/1(-400%) | (11) Poor Relation 50/1, 21 Jan; 50,000 euros De Treville filly; half-sister to Merseyside, useful at 10f; dam high-class at 11f; others appeal more this time. 50,000euros yearling; yard 2-14 with 2yos here; drawn widest; probably has tough task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (80/1 -142%)Angry Ant |
80/1(-142%) | (5) Angry Ant 80/1, Tired late but produced a fair effort when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Kempton on debut. Bred for 8f and beyond and can improve. 70,000gns breeze-up as 2yo; 28-1 and down the field on recent Kempton AW debut over 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (250/1 -400%)Educating Sheila |
250/1(-400%) | (7) Educating Sheila 250/1, Poor debut in a hood when well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford on her only start. Bred for 8-10f and likely to do better when handicapping. 66-1, finished remote on recent 7f Chelmsford debut (hooded, but not today). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (11/2 +66%)Adba |
11/2(+66%) | (1) Adba 11/2, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton only start; should be effective around 8f; improvement likely. Never involved on Kempton debut (1m; 14-1); better drawn today; could improve plenty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (10/1 -67%)Loving Queen |
10/1(-67%) | (10) Loving Queen 10/1, Made too much use of, below form when well beaten in a novice at Southwell last time. Blinkers on for the first time; effective at 7f; type to do better when handicapping. Having third start when fading over 1m at Southwell latest; blinkers added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (80/1 -220%)Adores |
80/1(-220%) | (2) Adores 80/1, Ran to the same level as on debut when beaten 5l in a maiden here last time. Stays 8f, acts on the all-weather and surely has more to offer. Signs of ability in two 1m starts, including C&D; type to do better, perhaps in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (14/1 +0%)Celestique |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Celestique 14/1, 13 May; Starspangledbanner filly; half-sister to several winners, including Dukebox, useful at 8f; dam smart at 8f; up against it on debut. Two siblings made winning starts for this yard so she could go well on debut; check market. |

The eye is immediately drawn to Al Qaysiyya after her runner-up effort over 7f at Kempton earlier this month and she is sure to be thereabouts, but ALLAIRE makes lots of appeal on paper. Andrew Balding's filly is a half-sister to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov and, although her pedigree suggests she will improve as she steps up in trip, this looks a good starting point. The market may tell us more about newcomer Felicitas.

Some well-connected newcomers line up but AL QAYSIYYA sets a very fair standard on her turf and AW form and should stay 1m.

1st (2) (9/1 -64%)The Big Cloud |
9/1(-64%) | (2) The Big Cloud 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time; in good form prior; returning from a long layoff and open to marked improvement now chasing but needs it. Absent since pulled up at Gowran in January, no chasing experience, may need it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 +61%)Duce Bigalow |
11/2(+61%) | (10) Duce Bigalow 11/2, Jumped abysmally and produced a modest chase debut when comfortably held in a beginners chase at Tramore last time; effective at around 2 1/2m but yet to show much. Second in a point, needs to jump a lot better than on his chasing debut at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 +33%)Love Like This |
8/1(+33%) | (4) Love Like This 8/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Clonmel last time; usually held up, effective around 2 1/2m, but remains a frustrating maiden. 31-race maiden though relatively unexposed over fences, out of form since June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/2 -29%)Ballinaboola Jet |
9/2(-29%) | (8) Ballinaboola Jet 9/2, Returned to form when winning a handicap by 3 1/4l off a mark of 76 at Clonmel last time; has an outside chance here with promise of more to come over fences. Recent handicap hurdle winner, 7lb higher for chasing debut, could be equal to the task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 -33%)Listenheretomejack |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Listenheretomejack 12/1, Made mistakes and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Thurles most recently; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on soft or good ground; down in the weights but must prove ability remains after a layoff. Placed twice in handicap chases in the summer of 2024 but over longer trips than this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 -133%)Atlantic Wonder |
28/1(-133%) | (7) Atlantic Wonder 28/1, Pulled up in a beginners chase at Tramore last time where let down by jumping; effective at 2m but an inconsistent maiden with plenty to prove over fences. Blundered four out on comeback at Tramore, well enough handicapped on best hurdles form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (15/2 +0%)Dontdooddson |
15/2(+0%) | (11) Dontdooddson 15/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time; running back into form in that sphere; well treated on old efforts; very interesting. Both chase wins were in 2021, showed that he retains ability with a hurdles win in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (5/1 +55%)Another Challenge |
5/1(+55%) | (6) Another Challenge 5/1, Outpaced and below form when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park most recently; returns from a short break and has a bit to find switched to chasing. No chasing experience, hurdling claims are unconvincing, distant fourth on penultimate run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (5/1 -82%)Lady Rose Hackett |
5/1(-82%) | (3) Lady Rose Hackett 5/1, Ran poorly when well beaten in a handicap chase at Thurles last time; effective around 2 1/2m and acts on good ground, though her form has tailed off. Point winner at four, 0-6 over hurdles, best of his three chase runs was on good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (8/1 +27%)Quinn The Eskimo |
8/1(+27%) | (1) Quinn The Eskimo 8/1, Improved on chase debut when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l, in a beginners chase at Thurles last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m and acts on good ground; debut form has been franked, so should be competitive. Won a handicap hurdle off 85 in May, no easy task off 100 in his first handicap chase. |

BALLINABOOLA JET returned to action earlier this year after only one appearance in November 2022 and showed promise over hurdles, including when third at Wexford before opening his account on testing ground at Clonmel earlier this month. The Dick Donohoe-trained gelding now makes his debut over fences off a lowly mark and, if putting in a clear round, may prove difficult to beat. Baltinglass Hill has won three times over hurdles and has also been placed on his latest two outings over fences, but ground conditions are a concern. Heavy going is also a worry for Quinn The Eskimo, who made a promising start over fences at Thurles, while Lady Rose Hackett is another to consider.

Not much worthwhile chase form here, so the safest choice is probably BALLINABOOLA JET, a recent handicap hurdle scorer at Clonmel

1st (1) (1/12 +58%)Adonedeal |
1/12(+58%) | (1) Adonedeal 1/12, Did it readily on debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell by 5l; effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; has more to come and this looks an easy task. Irish point winner who got straight off the mark over hurdles last month; hard to oppose.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +7%)Reteti |
7/1(+7%) | (4) Reteti 7/1, Bit keen but improved on hurdles debut when fourth beaten 21l in a novice hurdle at Lingfield latest; trainer in form; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles; type to do better handicapping. Showed some ability in his bumpers and on the Flat but well beaten on both hurdle starts.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (20/1 +80%)Yasmina |
20/1(+80%) | (7) Yasmina 20/1, Bit wide, below form upped in trip when well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; stamina to prove over hurdles; hard to fancy. Five-race Flat maiden; not without ability but has a bit to prove on hurdle debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 -29%)Irezumi |
18/1(-29%) | (3) Irezumi 18/1, Well backed but looked unwilling comfortably held in a handicap at Brighton last time; usually held up; makes hurdles debut off a short-break; difficult to fancy. Dual Flat winner but out of sorts of late; makes hurdle debut in a race lacking depth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +50%)Somkiyr |
50/1(+50%) | (5) Somkiyr 50/1, Poor hurdles debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Lingfield last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles; type to do better handicapping. Fair on the Flat in France but soundly beaten on last month's hurdle debut after a break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (125/1 -150%)Deferred Interest |
125/1(-150%) | (2) Deferred Interest 125/1, Has shown no worthwhile form and is yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles; hard to fancy. Poor Flat maiden who showed little on last month's hurdle debut.. |

The fact ADONEDEAL sported a first-time hood suggested he might have the tendency to over-race and that adds further meat to the bones of how smart his five-length success at Southwell was. Olly Murphy's charge raced prominently throughout and still managed to win with ease, so with a change of tactics he could be seen in an even better light. Opposition is thin, with Yasmina possibly the pick of the Andy Irvine pair, and Mild Magic at least has experience on her side.

A weak race and very difficult to oppose the penalised ADONEDEAL.

13/2(-44%) | (6) Gogo Yubari 13/2, No impact after early interference when beaten 3 1/2l off 54 at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 5-6f; dropping back towards last winning mark. C&D winner; just below latest winning mark; R Ryan up for first time; headgear refitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (12/1 -20%)It's Showtime |
12/1(-20%) | (8) It's Showtime 12/1, No impact after a slow start when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f; more needed. Has refused to race and often slowly away, as last time; headgear on after 3 runs without. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 -50%)Chasing Gold |
9/1(-50%) | (3) Chasing Gold 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 54 at Newcastle last time; effective at 5/6f; gets a new headgear combination. Maiden but he hasn't been far away in any of his 5f handicaps for this yard; drawn widest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (5/1 -43%)Colors Of Freedom |
5/1(-43%) | (10) Colors Of Freedom 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 48 at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 5f; capable off this mark. Has won over C&D but most AW wins on Tapeta and up against it on recent course form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +39%)Stash The Cash |
10/3(+39%) | (1) Stash The Cash 10/3, Bit below form when beaten 4l off 58 here last time; suited by 5f; something to prove. Well treated; some late headway over C&D on yard debut; blinkers return; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (4/1 +64%)Forest Gunner |
4/1(+64%) | (7) Forest Gunner 4/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 46 at Southwell penultimate start; found little and below form last time; effective at 5f; bounce back needed. Off the mark over 5f at Southwell; poorly drawn latest; inconclusive Polytrack form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (4/1 +27%)South Shore Island |
4/1(+27%) | (4) South Shore Island 4/1, Bit below form when beaten 2 1/4l off 52 here last time; suited by 5-7f; moderate maiden. Winless after 22 starts but has C&D form this winter so has place claims; headgear off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 -50%)Global Effort |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Global Effort 12/1, Again below summer best when beaten 4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective at 5f; out of form. 2lb lower than AW win (5f) in August; went to ground after but not clear run latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (33/1 -136%)Henry Tudor |
33/1(-136%) | (2) Henry Tudor 33/1, No-show on handicap debut when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; speed in pedigree; improvement needed. Just 4 starts, failing to find much on handicap debut over C&D last time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (40/1 -60%)Kamberleigh |
40/1(-60%) | (9) Kamberleigh 40/1, Well below form tried in blinkers when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; off a short break; effective at 5f; drop in trip might help. Finished last in two AW handicaps at 1m and 6f; gelded since last seen; risky back at 5f. |

Just a tentative vote in weak handicap is for COLORS OF FREEDOM, who often runs well without winning but is a previous C&D winner and she's got bottom weight too. Gogo Yubari is one of two other track-and-trip winners in the field and she's noted along with South Shore Island, who has claims on his penultimate course effort when second.

Well-handicapped STASH THE CASH is light on AW experience but he is more than capable of building on his recent debut for this yard.

1st (2) (66/1 0%)It's Bobsled Time |
66/1(0%) | (2) It's Bobsled Time 66/1, Outpaced and ran poorly down the field in a juvenile hurdle at Cork last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and may need more time. Has finished in rear in two races of this type at Cork, can be ruled out.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (9/2 -275%)Ritz Plan |
9/2(-275%) | (14) Ritz Plan 9/2, Had every chance and ran to form but got racing too early when fourth, beaten 9l, in a juvenile hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2½m and acts on heavy; needs a bit more to break her maiden. Promising on debut at Punchetown, failed to build on that at Navan, could make amends. |

3rd (12) (16/1 -14%)Kilbarry Alexy |
16/1(-14%) | (12) Kilbarry Alexy 16/1, Success Days filly; half-sister to Tim Toe, fair at 16f; wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Second foal. half-sister to Pat Doyle-trained 2025 bumper winner Tim Toe, wears tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 +14%)Ann Bulkley |
6/1(+14%) | (8) Ann Bulkley 6/1, Keen and outpaced when never put into the race on debut, finishing 28l fourth in a mares hurdle at Punchestown; effective at 2m2f and acts on heavy; should improve with experience if ridden more positively. Shaped well at Navan, has plenty to find with runner-up Ritz Plan but can improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (125/1 -213%)Hunting Gold |
125/1(-213%) | (11) Hunting Gold 125/1, Hunting Horn filly; flat pedigree; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Newcomer, unraced dam is closely related to bumper/hurdle/chase winner Hallowed Star. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (200/1 -100%)Trocadero Trouble |
200/1(-100%) | (6) Trocadero Trouble 200/1, Travelled but found little when well beaten in a juvenile hurdle at Navan last time; yet to find suitable conditions and may need more time. Completely tailed off at Fairyhouse. well held by Ritz Plan on Navan running.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (16/1 +52%)Rosarian |
16/1(+52%) | (15) Rosarian 16/1, Gleneagles filly; half-sister to Miss Mini Bee, high-class from 16f to 20f; dam was poor from 13f to 18f; probably best watched on debut. Closely related to Pat Foley-trained debut bumper winner Miss Mini Bee, worth market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (66/1 -32%)Miners Cabin |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Miners Cabin 66/1, Made mistakes and ran green when well beaten on a modest debut in a juvenile hurdle at Cork; off a short break; effective at 2m and should improve with experience. Never in serious contention first time out at Cork in October, unlikely to feature.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (33/1 0%)O'grady Cracker |
33/1(0%) | (4) O'grady Cracker 33/1, Way To Paris gelding; half-brother to Downthecellar, who was useful over 15f. Half-brother to five winners, dam was useful, stable's current form is a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (14/1 +0%)Little Bonnie |
14/1(+0%) | (13) Little Bonnie 14/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a mares hurdle at Punchestown; may need a stiffer test in time. Remote sixth at Punchestown, well held by Ritz Plan, around 5l behind Ann Bulkley. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (40/1 +39%)The New Blue |
40/1(+39%) | (5) The New Blue 40/1, Gentlewave gelding; bred to handle cut in the ground; faces a stiff task on debut. Dam an unraced half-sister to winners notably the top-class Cyrname, capable 7lb claimer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (16/1 -33%)Ailbhes Gift |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Ailbhes Gift 16/1, Fell in a juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse last time when beaten; has plenty to find. Decent pedigree, beaten when stumbled and came down just after the last on debut at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (125/1 -150%)Datzdjazz |
125/1(-150%) | (9) Datzdjazz 125/1, Made mistakes and ran poorly when well beaten in a juvenile hurdle at Cork on debut; yet to show any ability. Dropped away in the straight to finish a remote eighth at Cork, one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (6/4 -9%)I'm All In |
6/4(-9%) | (1) I'm All In 6/4, Fell in a juvenile hurdle at Navan last time; would've placed but for departing on debut; effective at 2m and acts on soft; should improve slightly with experience but needs to jump more fluently. Risky proposition having unseated on both attempts, deserves respect all the same. |

I'M ALL IN has been let down by his jumping on both starts but looked booked for second behind the odds-on Minella Academy when unseating rider at the last at Cork last month. Hopefully the son of Kodi Bear can put in a clear round, and he gets the vote over Ritz Plan, who has shown promise in both outings in similar events including when second to the impressive Highland Crystal at Punchestown with Ann Bulkley over 13 lengths behind in fourth and Little Bonnie sixth. O'Grady Cracker, Kilbarry Alexy and Rosarian are three newcomers to note in the market.

This affords another chance to RITZ PLAN, who failed to run to market expectations in a Navan race in which I'm All in unseated

1st (2) (4/1 -14%)Jubilant |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Jubilant 4/1, Made mistakes but still ran to form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap chase at Ascot last time. Proven around 3m, acts on good ground, and is easing in the weights. Back from break with three very respectable autumn runs; probably won't be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/3 -77%)Illegal D'ainay |
10/3(-77%) | (4) Illegal D'ainay 10/3, Modest chase debut, jumping right didn't, when help comfortably held in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time; off a short-break; proven up to 2m4f, acts on S, G; should come on for return. Low-mileage 7yo; beaten favourite on chase debut but still has potential over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 -80%)Morfee |
9/1(-80%) | (3) Morfee 9/1, Travelled well and ran to form when winning a handicap by 1l off 111 at Fontwell last time. Effective between 3m and 3m2f, acts on soft and good ground, and a 2lb rise looks fair. In good form when last seen in the spring and very well suited by this C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/1 -20%)Shantou Lucky |
6/1(-20%) | (1) Shantou Lucky 6/1, Scored by 4l off 113 here penultimate start; below form upped in trip last time; effective 2m4f-3m1f, suited by decent ground; bounce back needed. Revitalised 8yo who is 5-7 for new stable since September; must be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/4 +39%)All Authorized |
11/4(+39%) | (5) All Authorized 11/4, Made mistakes and found little when down the field in a handicap chase at Ascot last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time, effective at 3m, acts on heavy and good ground, and should improve for the run with the yard in fine form. Course hurdle winner in the spring but yet to convince as a chaser after three attempts. |

James Owen's Shantou Lucky struck over C&D on his penultimate start but his stablemate Jubilant makes more appeal of the pair as he lurks on a tempting mark. However, course winner ILLEGAL D'AINAY didn't do himself any justice when favourite in a class 3 event at Fontwell in October and was kindly dropped 2lb. This represents just his second outing over fences and there could be a lot more in the locker.

Well handicapped on hurdling form, ILLEGAL D'AINAY should find this easier than the Fontwell race he contested on his chasing debut.

1st (4) (9/2 -13%)All Too Beautiful |
9/2(-13%) | (4) All Too Beautiful 9/2, Improved and picked up well for pressure when landing a handicap by a head off 54 at Chelmsford last time; effective from 6f to 7f on all-weather; chance despite a 2lb rise. Led close home at Chelmsford last month; only 2lb higher here and still unexposed on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/2 +55%)Alshimali |
9/2(+55%) | (2) Alshimali 9/2, Won by 2 1/4l off 55 at Brighton three runs back; a bit below form last time; effective at 5f and 6f, acts on all-weather; generally reliable performer. Dual turf winner this year; behind two of today's rivals when sixth over C&D 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/8 +64%)Profit Street |
13/8(+64%) | (5) Profit Street 13/8, Back to form when just holding on to win a handicap by 1/2l off 51 at Wolverhampton last time; effective from 6f to 7f on a sound surface; needs a bit more off a 5lb higher mark. Held on well to fend off in-form rival at Wolverhampton last week; well drawn again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 -27%)Roman Emperor |
14/1(-27%) | (8) Roman Emperor 14/1, Outpaced and a bit below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 6f to 7f on a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Returned from break with low-key run behind Profit Street last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -155%)Neptune Legend |
14/1(-155%) | (1) Neptune Legend 14/1, Strong at finish in landing a handicap by a neck off 57 at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/7f, acts on G, F and AW; up 2lb and can go well again. Came good for new stable at Wolverhampton last month and was nudged back up only 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (15/2 +6%)Happier |
15/2(+6%) | (6) Happier 15/2, Ran to form and perhaps a little unlucky when beaten 2 1/4l off 56 here last time; trainer in form; best at 5f to 6f and acts on all-weather; good chance off the same mark. Came from the rear to take second over C&D on recent stable debut; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (22/1 -57%)Under Curfew |
22/1(-57%) | (10) Under Curfew 22/1, Outpaced but made late headway when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 5f to 6f, stays 7f, acts on all-weather; a touch erratic but capable. Comes here after two respectable Wolverhampton runs but has modest AW strike-rate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (20/1 -100%)Mammy |
20/1(-100%) | (9) Mammy 20/1, Below form but little went right when beaten 10l in a handicap at Sandown last time; returns from a short break; effective from 5f to 7f on a sound surface; down 2lb and could have a say. Placed over C&D in August but not the percentage call on this first run for three months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (9/1 -13%)Nordic Glory |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Nordic Glory 9/1, Won by 1 1/2l off 52 at Wolverhampton three starts ago and ran to form last time; suited by 6f and acts on a sound surface; down 1lb and capable of going well. Eight AW wins; placed over C&D recently but may still be a shade too high in the weights. |

PROFIT STREET was on really good terms with himself when landing a bit of a gamble at Wolverhampton latest and, assuming he's in the same form, James Owen's charge should go very close. His stable companion Neptune Legend is another last-start winner to consider and it's also worth keeping a close eye on distance winner All Too Beautiful and Nordic Glory.

The suggestion is PROFIT STREET, who drew clear of the others with the favourite when scoring at Wolverhampton nine days ago.

5/1(-167%) | (10) Open Secret 5/1, Improved despite a stumble when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m4f–2m5f on good or yielding ground; may improve again. Flat winner over 1m6f, stumbled at the last when challenging at Wexford, should go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (50/1 -25%)Raise You Up |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Raise You Up 50/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when fourth, beaten 25l, in a bumper at Punchestown. Has plenty to do here. Second in a six-runner point, fourth of eight in a bumper, needs to raise his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (125/1 -89%)Belladona Princess |
125/1(-89%) | (16) Belladona Princess 125/1, Too much to do on a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Effective at around 2½m on ground with cut; can improve if ridden more positively. Fair staying pedigree, considerable improvement needed from midfield run at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (50/1 0%)Puma's Dream |
50/1(0%) | (11) Puma's Dream 50/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork on his only start. Effective at 2m and should progress a little but needs to show more. Yard's second-string on debut at Cork, one of four for the trainer here, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (20) (9/1 -13%)Susie Lenglen |
9/1(-13%) | (20) Susie Lenglen 9/1, Held on to win a Ladies bumper at Tramore by 1/2l last time, running to form. Effective at 2m4f on yielding ground; interesting move to drop back in trip. Made a promising hurdling debut in October and has underlined potential with a bumper win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 +38%)Agameoftwohalves |
10/1(+38%) | (1) Agameoftwohalves 10/1, Outpaced but made a promising debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Navan on his only start. Effective at around 2½m on heavy ground and has more to come for good connections. Was well placed until making a mistake at the last in a 2m4f maiden at Navan, can improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (66/1 -136%)Needs Must |
66/1(-136%) | (9) Needs Must 66/1, Below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time after a layoff. Effective at 2m on heavy ground; longer trip could suit but likely one for handicaps after this. Picked up experience in two runs last season, more likely a handicap prospect after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/4 +32%)Larzac |
9/4(+32%) | (7) Larzac 9/4, From a yard that has won four of the last five runnings. Comfortably held in the Grade 1 Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m on ground with cut and can win when dropped in class. Second at Auteuil 14 months ago, ran in two Grade 1s last term, interesting at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (11/4 +63%)Bergamasquo |
11/4(+63%) | (3) Bergamasquo 11/4, Very promising debut when second, beaten 6½l, in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park. Effective at 2m on heavy ground and has joined a top yard. Should progress a little stepping up in trip. Twice second in points, clear of the third over 2m on hurdling debut, trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (16/5 +9%)Lincoln Du Seuil |
16/5(+9%) | (8) Lincoln Du Seuil 16/5, From a yard with a fine record in this race. Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time after a long layoff. Effective at 2m on ground with cut and can improve if setting a more even gallop. Heavy-ground 1m4f AQPS winner in March 2024, ran once as a juvenile last year, respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (100/1 -52%)Surrey Force |
100/1(-52%) | (13) Surrey Force 100/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Navan. Trainer in form; effective at around 2½m on soft ground and may need a bit more time in this discipline. Placed at a modest level on the Flat, not disgraced on hurdling debut, may improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (40/1 0%)Theabsolutegov'nor |
40/1(0%) | (14) Theabsolutegov'nor 40/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when well beaten in a four-year-old bumper at Galway. Returning from a break with plenty to find now hurdling. Shaped reasonably well in a bumper at the Galway festival, may need hurdling experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (125/1 -150%)Coolboy Christy |
125/1(-150%) | (4) Coolboy Christy 125/1, Showed improvement from debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe last time. Returning from a break and effective at 2m on good ground; could progress again upped in trip. Second to a useful type in a bumper, little impact in two maiden hurdle outings in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (125/1 -89%)Anodandawink |
125/1(-89%) | (2) Anodandawink 125/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, never threatening when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; may need more time under rules. Second in a point-to-point in March, no encouragement from his first two hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (19) (10/1 -122%)Nirisque |
10/1(-122%) | (19) Nirisque 10/1, Promising debut when runner-up, beaten 2l, in a mares' hurdle at Compiegne. Returning from a long layoff; effective at around 2½m on ground with cut. French form has been franked in Ireland and more to come for a top yard. Runner-up in a hurdle in France won by a filly who has joined Joseph O'Brien, noteworthy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (15) (300/1 -50%)Urbs Intacta Manet |
300/1(-50%) | (15) Urbs Intacta Manet 300/1, Green and made mistakes on a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Acts on heavy ground but has plenty to prove. Jumping was ragged when down the field at Punchestown first time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (18) (400/1 -100%)Magic Hands Noel |
400/1(-100%) | (18) Magic Hands Noel 400/1, Never in the race when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; looks one for further down the line. Three-figure odds when beaten in excess of 60l in maidens at Navan and Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (17) (300/1 -50%)Leonards Choice |
300/1(-50%) | (17) Leonards Choice 300/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles. Needs to show significant improvement. 100-1 when completely tailed off first time out at Thurles late last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (5) (200/1 -203%)Eye Contact |
200/1(-203%) | (5) Eye Contact 200/1, Never threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Inconsistent on the Flat and yet to show form over hurdles. Weak form on the Flat (rated 53), made no impact on hurdling debut at Thurles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (6) (200/1 -300%)Head To Capri |
200/1(-300%) | (6) Head To Capri 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time. Off a short break and should be effective at 2m; can improve on a poor debut effort. Jumped poorly in the early stages on debut at Listowel and was pulled up, no appeal. |

OPEN SECRET was rated in the 70s on the Flat and won over 1m6f at Redcar last year for Charlie Johnston. The Cracksman gelding switched to hurdles since joining Gordon Elliott this autumn and held every chance when stumbling after the last at Wexford last time. Larzac was just denied on his only French start and was highly tried in two outings this spring including when finishing in mid-division behind Lulamba at Punchestown, while Willie Mullins is also represented by Lincoln Du Seuil, who won a 1m4f French bumper and has been absent since a run over hurdles at Limerick last Christmas. Bergamasquo, Susie Lenglen and Nirisque are others to consider.

The signs are that LARZAC was much more highly rated than Lincoln Du Seuil last winter and he may prove good enough to score her

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/8 +54%)Manigod |
11/8(+54%) | (3) Manigod 11/8, Some promise on hurdles debut after a wind operation when second beaten 3 1/2l in a novice hurdle here latest; trainer in form; effective at 2m4f, acts on G; improvement likely. Made good start to hurdling career when second of four over C&D last month; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (17/2 -278%)Masked Mistress |
17/2(-278%) | (5) Masked Mistress 17/2, Outpaced and well held when upped in grade in a Listed Mares' NH Flat Race at Cheltenham last time; had been in good form prior; effective at 2m-2m2f, acts on good ground, and brings potential to hurdles. Dual bumper winner (once here); makes hurdling debut with Sean Bowen booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 -7%)Dr Waksman |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Dr Waksman 15/2, Again below form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective at 2m over hurdles, acts on soft ground, and may be happier back hurdling. Second in 2m course maiden last winter; back hurdling after two down-the-field Flat runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (50/1 -25%)Le Flying Ferret |
50/1(-25%) | (2) Le Flying Ferret 50/1, Moderate bumper debut when well beaten in a bumper here on only start; this sort of trip may suit now hurdling but difficult to fancy. Ran green and was in rear throughout on bumper debut here in May. |

It's important to note that Manigod's runner-up effort over track and trip last month may not be the most reliable piece of form as the race fell apart with the hot favourite not running to form. With that in mind, THE BOSS BEAR looks the way to go. The son of Doyen showed bundles of improvement to score in good style in a bumper at Fontwell in May and with Gary & Josh Moore sending out some smart recruits recently, he might be the one. Dr Waksman appeals most of the remainder.

Former French Flat racer MANIGOD made a promising start to his British hurdling career over C&D last month and gets the vote.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 +20%)Krissy |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Krissy 4/1, Major improvement, caused a shock in landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 47 at Newcastle last time; effective at 10f, acts on AW; respected up 3lb if latest not a fluke. Sprung a major surprise when scoring at Newcastle and has claims if she can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/4 -22%)Latin |
11/4(-22%) | (2) Latin 11/4, Scored by 1 1/2l off 56 at Bath in September; ran to form dropped in trip when second beaten 3/4l off 52 last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any; step back up in trip could suit. Record of 33531222 for current yard and his penultimate run was over C&D; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (33/1 -136%)Pure Theory |
33/1(-136%) | (3) Pure Theory 33/1, Below form upped in trip when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Off a short break; effective 10-12f on all-weather but inconsistent. Regressive maiden who changed hands for 7,000gns and has something to prove for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (20/1 +20%)Dubai Immo |
20/1(+20%) | (10) Dubai Immo 20/1, Again below form when down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective 10-14f on all-weather but currently out of form. On a dangerous mark but he's lost his way and needs a major revival back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (16/1 +36%)Trackman |
16/1(+36%) | (11) Trackman 16/1, Bit wide and below form when well beaten in a classified race at Yarmouth latest. Returning from a break; effective 11-14f on all-weather; needs to bounce back. 21-race maiden who failed to beat a rival in his final two runs during the summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 +0%)Onlyriversrunfree |
22/1(+0%) | (6) Onlyriversrunfree 22/1, Below form after a slow start when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Yet to find suitable conditions and improvement needed. Not beaten many home in four starts and has lots to prove at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (66/1 -313%)Iftikhaar |
66/1(-313%) | (9) Iftikhaar 66/1, No-show on hurdles debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Usually held up and effective 8-10f on all-weather; may be happier back on the Flat. 40-1 win at Chelmsford in September but he's struggled since and is now 1-33. |

9th (12) (22/1 -214%)Unknown Journey |
22/1(-214%) | (12) Unknown Journey 22/1, Below form dropped in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective 8-10f on all-weather; needs more to get off the mark. 15-race maiden who finished ninth of 13 at Newcastle last time; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (12/1 +52%)My O My |
12/1(+52%) | (4) My O My 12/1, Below form down the field in a novice at Kempton most recent. Off a short break and bred for 8-10f; may do better now handicapping. Handicap newcomer but she needs a transformation upped in trip for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (18/1 -80%)Faster Bee |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Faster Bee 18/1, Didn't stay back up in trip when beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 8f on all-weather; needs to bounce back. 22-race maiden who was well held at Wolverhampton last month; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (66/1 -560%)Belle Of Kt |
66/1(-560%) | (1) Belle Of Kt 66/1, Improved, albeit flattered, up in trip when 10l third in a novice here last time. Trainer in form and effective at 10f on all-weather. Should do better now handicapping. Unexposed 4yo but she needs improvement on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (100/1 -52%)Lasswade |
100/1(-52%) | (13) Lasswade 100/1, Found little when tried in a tongue-tie and finished down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent. Yet to find suitable conditions and hard to fancy. Beaten at least 16l in all eight starts including in two runs over 1m2f this autumn. |

LATIN should take a bit of beating judged on recent form. Second over C&D two starts ago and, given a break since his latest runner-up effort at Southwell, it surely won't be long before the Bath scorer gets back in the winning groove. Tommy's Promise won well at Chelmsford recently and heads the list of dangers from Newcastle winner Krissy.

4yo LATIN has a record of 33531222 for his current yard and he gets the vote ahead of recent Chelmsford winner Tommy's Promise.

15/2(+66%) | (16) Shellrunforbriggs 15/2, Improved slightly from debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 2 1/2m and handles heavy ground. Flat bred and likely one for handicaps. Better effort when beaten 13.5l on latest, place chance with a repeat of that. |

2nd (3) (7/1 +56%)Empire Walk |
7/1(+56%) | (3) Empire Walk 7/1, Made mistakes but improved from debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and should progress again now stepping up in trip. Modest form in points and in first two maiden hurdles, looks one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 +20%)Kellys Corner |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Kellys Corner 16/1, Never threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; handles heavy ground and may be one for staying handicaps after this. Not a bad run on hurdles debut at Gowran, minor place chance if repeats that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/2 +55%)Fairlander |
9/2(+55%) | (4) Fairlander 9/2, Never threatened when well held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Usually held up and effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; may need a bit further in time. Soundly beaten in a trio of maiden hurdles at 2m-2m4f, hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/4 -46%)Lincall |
7/4(-46%) | (8) Lincall 7/4, Promising debut when beaten 7l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; effective at 2 1/2m and handles heavy ground. Looked professional first time and should progress further. Promising 7l fifth of 18 on hurdles debut at Clonmel, yard in form, leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (80/1 -142%)Galavanting George |
80/1(-142%) | (5) Galavanting George 80/1, Produced only a modest effort when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; plenty to prove. Beaten cumulative distance of 102l in first two maiden hurdles, passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/2 +30%)Blazing Duke |
7/2(+30%) | (1) Blazing Duke 7/2, Promising debut when beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective at 2m and handles heavy ground. From a good yard and should have more to offer over hurdles. Left debut effort behind when fifth at Gowran, player here on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (6/1 -200%)Take Stock |
6/1(-200%) | (11) Take Stock 6/1, Unsuited by drop in trip when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft ground; could bounce back now back up in distance. Promise on debut at this trip, poor at 2m latest, can't discount stepped back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (100/1 -150%)Jaynemax |
100/1(-150%) | (6) Jaynemax 100/1, Too free and modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; acts on heavy ground but has plenty to prove starting out over hurdles. Heavy defeats in a bumper and on hurdles debut latest, hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (50/1 0%)Patsy's Pride |
50/1(0%) | (10) Patsy's Pride 50/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; handles soft ground and should improve for a longer trip but needs to step forward. Point winner, 125-1 and beaten 51l at Navan nine days ago, difficult to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (17) (33/1 +0%)Thirsty Work |
33/1(+0%) | (17) Thirsty Work 33/1, Made mistakes and continued in poor form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; hood applied for the first time; has plenty to prove. Hood goes on after three heavy maiden hurdle defeats, best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (150/1 -127%)Nothing Da Now |
150/1(-127%) | (15) Nothing Da Now 150/1, Made mistakes on a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; has shown nothing in bumpers or over hurdles and has plenty to prove. Soundly beaten at huge odds all three starts, look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (100/1 -100%)Crab Road |
100/1(-100%) | (2) Crab Road 100/1, Yet to show any real ability and returns from a short break. Needs to improve considerably to feature. Pulled up and tailed off in first two starts, unlikely winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (150/1 -50%)Monkeyforajuice |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Monkeyforajuice 150/1, Never threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; yet to find suitable conditions and may want further but has plenty to find. Triple-figure odds for all three starts and never sighted, put a line through. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (12) (50/1 0%)What's It To Ya |
50/1(0%) | (12) What's It To Ya 50/1, Modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; likely to need more time and experience. Heavy defeats first two starts over hurdles, may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (150/1 -127%)Beara Beauty |
150/1(-127%) | (14) Beara Beauty 150/1, Yet to show any signs of ability; wears cheekpieces for the first time and best watched for now. Pulled up in a bumper and a Cork maiden hurdle, cheekpieces now tried, others preferred. |

Given the form of Gordon Elliott's stable, it wouldn't be surprising to see LINCALL improve enough to get off the mark on his third start. This Doctor Dino gelding was considered good enough to start his career in the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival in April. He didn't trouble the judge, but there was merit gleaned from a fifth place in a big field on hurdling debut at Clonmel at the start of the month. Take Stock's fifth on racecourse debut over flights at Punchestown brings him into the equation. He wasn't at his best when mid-division on his next start at Fairyhouse, but should be a factor in this company. Blazing Duke is another eyeing a cheque.

LINCALL is taken to get off the mark after a promising hurdling debut on testing ground at Clonmel

1st (3) (4/5 +54%)Avada Kedavra |
4/5(+54%) | (3) Avada Kedavra 4/5, Improved to gain his first win when landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off 93 at Taunton last time. Effective between 2m4f and 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground; unexposed as a stayer with more to come. Point winner in March; stout front-running win at Taunton (3m) latest; back up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/2 -22%)Enjoy D'allen |
11/2(-22%) | (1) Enjoy D'allen 11/2, Scored by 10l off 105 at Fakenham on his penultimate start; ran below form when upped in trip last time. Stays well and prefers a sound surface, though an out-of-form veteran who is less effective over hurdles. Won 2m5f chase in October; back up 7lb and held in 3rd latest; hurdle mark is 12lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +0%)Drumheller |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Drumheller 4/1, Improved when stepped up in trip, finishing second beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and handles good to soft and good ground; open to further progress. Mostly well held but runner-up to odds-on shot over C&D latest; thereabouts off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (9/2 -50%)San Pedro |
9/2(-50%) | (2) San Pedro 9/2, Likely needed run when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield latest; effective up to 3m1f, acts on S, G; should come on for return. Three C&D wins (soft); same mark as the latest of them in February; poised for a revival. |

AVADA KEDAVRA comfortably scored at Taunton latest, making all of the running, and looks to have been found another very winnable opening. His supporters will be pleased to see that Brendan Powell keeps the ride and this gelding could dominate again in a small field. Enjoy D'allen and Drumheller can give the selection the most to think about but they might be playing for second.

This can go to AVADA KEDAVRA who found plenty when winning at Taunton and he is preferred to triple C&D winner San Pedro.

2nd (5) (10/3 +49%)Dubai Harbour |
10/3(+49%) | (5) Dubai Harbour 10/3, Had too much to do when beaten 2 1/2l off 53 here last time; effective 8-12f, best form on AW; step back up in trip should suit. Both wins have been over C&D and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (50/1 -257%)Sunset In Paris |
50/1(-257%) | (10) Sunset In Paris 50/1, Again below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently; effective 10f, better on AW; has a lot to prove at present. Triple C&D winner but he's lost his way and needs a big turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (18/1 -50%)Haveagobeau |
18/1(-50%) | (9) Haveagobeau 18/1, Took a step back in the right direction upped in trip when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any surface; may do better yet at this trip. 29-race maiden but he made some late gains when upped to 1m2f here latest; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (3/1 -9%)Knight Of Magic |
3/1(-9%) | (8) Knight Of Magic 3/1, Too keen but ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 45 here last time; effective 9-13f, acts on AW; in fair form. 0-23 but he's versatile trip-wise and has reached the frame on last three runs; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5/1 +0%)Warrnambool |
5/1(+0%) | (3) Warrnambool 5/1, Lacked pace to challenge when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f; capable but irresolute. Inconsistent 14-race maiden and he was quiet over 1m here last time; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (22/1 -57%)Kaaress |
22/1(-57%) | (1) Kaaress 22/1, No-show from off the pace tried in cheekpieces when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any surface; out of form. Losing run is up to 17; changed hands for 1,000gns in October; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (22/1 -10%)Laurentia |
22/1(-10%) | (11) Laurentia 22/1, No impact from off the pace when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 7-10f, acts on any surface; on a long losing run. Six-time AW winner but she's gone off the boil and needs a major upturn in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (5/1 +23%)Sir Laurence Graff |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Sir Laurence Graff 5/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 50 here three starts back; too keen and stopped quickly last time; effective 10-12f, acts on AW; needs to bounce back. Tailed off at Wolverhampton latest but has record of 224221 on AW at Lingfield this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (40/1 -60%)Mount Of Gold |
40/1(-60%) | (13) Mount Of Gold 40/1, Below form upped in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; drop in trip may help. 20-race maiden who has finished in the rear in her last five starts; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 -164%)Filligris |
66/1(-164%) | (12) Filligris 66/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap here latest; usually held up; returning from a break; yet to find suitable conditions; drop in trip may help. 3yo who has struggled in all five runs including two handicaps; can only be watched. |

KNIGHT OF MAGIC has been running consistently well of late and James Owen's gelding has every chance of going one better after his latest second here over a longer trip behind a progressive rival. The step back up in trip is likely to help Three On Thursday, having been outpaced at a crucial point over a mile last month, while Sir Laurence Graff is capable of going well too.

5yo SIR LAURENCE GRAFF has a record of 224221 on AW at Lingfield this year and is a player if he can bounce back from a blip on Tapeta.

1st (15) (3/1 +25%)Oldschool Outlaw |
3/1(+25%) | (15) Oldschool Outlaw 3/1, Quickened clear cosily and improved down in grade when winning a Listed Mares' Flat Race at Navan by 6 1/2l; proven on testing ground; progressive in bumpers; big player on hurdle debut. Impressive Listed bumper win at Navan last month, looks the main threat to Bambino Fever. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1/4 +44%)Bambino Fever |
1/4(+44%) | (3) Bambino Fever 1/4, Dual Grade 1 winner who travelled keenly and won comfortably, confirming Cheltenham superiority in the Champion I.N.H. Flat Race at Punchestown by 2 1/4l; top class in bumpers and the one to beat for a for a yard that took this last year. Point winner, top class bumper performer last season, the one they all have to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (21) (40/1 -60%)Radiator Springs |
40/1(-60%) | (21) Radiator Springs 40/1, Improved when winning a maiden at Tattersalls Farm by 2 1/2l last time; others appeal more. Won a point at Tattersalls in October, worth a market check if gets a run; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -79%)Cornelienne |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Cornelienne 25/1, Raced far too freely when down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recently; Listed placed on flat in France; very interesting on hurdle debut for top yard. Useful on the Flat in France, half-sister to two winners over timber, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (10/1 +9%)Kimi De Mai |
10/1(+9%) | (11) Kimi De Mai 10/1, Outclassed down the field in the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham; effective at 2m and may prefer some cut; capable of better down in grade for a top yard but looks the stable's second string. Prolific in French bumpers, no show in first two runs for this yard, overlooked by Townend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (200/1 +0%)Dancing Dame |
200/1(+0%) | (6) Dancing Dame 200/1, Well beaten when below form in a maiden hurdle at Thurles; effective at 2m and suited by soft ground; plenty of bumper experience but has something to prove over hurdles. Minor ability in bumpers, modest form over hurdles so far, may do better in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (66/1 -230%)Early Bird |
66/1(-230%) | (8) Early Bird 66/1, Improved when landing a mares' bumper at Tramore by 4 1/2l last time; progressive in bumpers; outside chance on hurdle debut. Won a Tramore bumper in May, off since, testing ground a query, check the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (40/1 -60%)Ill Raise A Glass |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Ill Raise A Glass 40/1, Green and hung when fourth, beaten 26l, in a mares' bumper at Limerick; returns from a short break and hard to recommend. Shock good ground bumper winner in March, ground a concern for hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (20/1 0%)Dee's Lady |
20/1(0%) | (7) Dee's Lady 20/1, Had an interrupted run when second, beaten 8 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Navan on return from a long layoff; effective over 2–2 1/2m on soft; showed enough last term to win a maiden. Runner up both starts in maiden hurdles, off since March, place shout if fit for return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (19) (50/1 -150%)The Besty Woman |
50/1(-150%) | (19) The Besty Woman 50/1, Pulled up in a mares' race at Ballyknock last time; has plenty to find starting out under rules. Failed to fire in two points, off since April, in good hands, worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (80/1 -21%)Crohan Lady |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Crohan Lady 80/1, Made a promising debut when fourth, beaten 18l, in a maiden hurdle at Thurles; effective at 2m and consistent. Point winner, not disgraced on hurdling debut last month, much more needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (16) (80/1 -142%)Pardelara Princess |
80/1(-142%) | (16) Pardelara Princess 80/1, Disappointing 50l fourth in a maiden at Dromahane on debut; faces a tough task starting out under rules. Half-sister to Captain Guinness, well beaten in sole point, probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (200/1 +0%)Ballinaboola Gold |
200/1(+0%) | (2) Ballinaboola Gold 200/1, Finished down the field in a bumper at Kilbeggan last time when below form; has plenty to find. Tailed off in two good ground bumpers in the summer, others make more appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (250/1 -25%)Layenda |
250/1(-25%) | (12) Layenda 250/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wexford; off a short break and likely to improve with experience. Tailed off on debut at Wexford in October, major improvement required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (200/1 +0%)Lizzymac |
200/1(+0%) | (13) Lizzymac 200/1, Failed to build on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles; yet to find suitable conditions and has plenty to prove. Triple-figure odds for both starts and ran accordingly, may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (9) (50/1 -100%)Family Getaway |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Family Getaway 50/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time when looked a threat; effective at 2m and should remain competitive with improvement possible. Not out of it when falling on debut at Cork, Kennedy prefers chances of stablemate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (20) (250/1 -100%)Walk In The Clouds |
250/1(-100%) | (20) Walk In The Clouds 250/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; poor in points prior; may find 2m on the sharp side. Won two-finisher point in October, fell at the first on hurdles debut, best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (14) (200/1 +0%)Mudslide Molly |
200/1(+0%) | (14) Mudslide Molly 200/1, Outpaced and below form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; returning from a long layoff and yet to show anything. Heavy defeats in two maiden hurdles back in March, hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (18) (200/1 +0%)Super Exceed |
200/1(+0%) | (18) Super Exceed 200/1, Far too free and made too much use of when comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time; effective at 1m on the Flat but has much to prove over hurdles. Flat winner, 33-1 and tailed off on hurdles debut at Navan, hard to fancy after that. |

BAMBINO FEVER will be a prohibitive price, but is very hard to get away from. Last season couldn't have gone any better for her as she landed the Grade 2 mares' bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival before Grade One victories were accrued at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals. She is an exciting recruit to the hurdling ranks and holds a Grade 1 novice hurdle entry at Leopardstown over Christmas. Oldschool Outlaw is a good horse in her own right and was a decisive winner of a Listed mares' bumper at Navan last month. She isn't one to underestimate ahead of her jumping bow. There is likely more to come from Bambino Fever's stablemate Kimi De Mai this season.

Classy bumper performer BAMBINO FEVER is sure to have been well schooled ahead of her hurdling debut and she should be hard to beat

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/8 +73%)Kitsilano |
13/8(+73%) | (2) Kitsilano 13/8, Below hurdles best back chasing when second, beaten 17l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good to soft ground but has yet to fire over fences. Won 2m3f hurdle, then missed 2 years; remote 2nd latest (2m1f); this trip can suit better. |

BIRDMAN BOB likes it around here and was super impressive when winning by 10 lengths over C&D on his penultimate start. A solid second here last time out in a conditional riders' race, Andy Irvine's charge makes plenty of appeal with in-form jockey Caoilin Quinn back in the saddle. Kitsilano was well held in second here at the beginning of the month but could still be the main danger, ahead of Summer In Milan.

This looks an easier task for BIRDMAN BOB (nap) than when running creditably last time behind a subsequent winner and he is preferred.

1st (8) (11/2 +0%)Nebula Stars |
11/2(+0%) | (8) Nebula Stars 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 48 at Chelmsford last time. Has a wide draw but is effective from 7f to 9f and acts on the all-weather. Of interest up 1lb. 1-24 in Hong Kong but he's finished placed in two Polytrack runs for new yard; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -14%)Gladiadora |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Gladiadora 4/1, Bit keen but ran to form when winning a handicap by 2l off 56 at Chelmsford last time. Has a wide draw and is effective from 8f to 10f, best on a sound surface. Respected up 4lb. Unexposed on AW and was a comfortable winner at Chelmsford latest; big player again up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/2 -17%)The Dark Baron |
7/2(-17%) | (4) The Dark Baron 7/2, Scored by 2 1/2l off 53 at Wolverhampton penultimate start; made too much use of last time; effective 8-10f, acts on GS, AW; may benefit from taking a lead this time. 2-5 for current trainer and was a creditable third at Wolverhampton last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/2 +55%)Jet Packer |
5/2(+55%) | (6) Jet Packer 5/2, Promising run after a wind op when beaten 3 1/4l off 58 here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on fast ground and AW; could improve from latest. 0-18 but he returned after wind surgery with an eyecatching third over C&D; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (10/1 -25%)Springbok |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Springbok 10/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap at Kempton last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather. Keeps dropping in the weights. Inconsistent 11-race maiden and was in the rear at Kempton last time; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 -13%)River Wharfe |
9/1(-13%) | (2) River Wharfe 9/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 56 at Wolverhampton three starts back and had too much to do last time. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on any surface. Better than the result latest. Never involved here (7f) in last two starts but he could be dangerous back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (8/1 -45%)Borderline Madness |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Borderline Madness 8/1, Scored by a short-head off 55 here three starts back and ran to form last time. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather. Can again go well. C&D winner who was a good second off this mark at Southwell last time; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (40/1 -150%)Friday Again |
40/1(-150%) | (7) Friday Again 40/1, Below form when well beaten down in trip in a handicap at Kempton last time. Wears a hood for the first time and returns from a short break. Effective at 6f to 7f on the all-weather but stamina to prove. Seven-race maiden who has struggled in last two runs and has plenty to prove at new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (125/1 -279%)Mrs Maisel |
125/1(-279%) | (10) Mrs Maisel 125/1, Showed no form from off the pace last time and has a wide draw. Returns from a short break and has yet to show any worthwhile form. Hard to make a case for. Well held in all five starts and can only be watched after another break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (50/1 0%)Arlo's Sunshine |
50/1(0%) | (9) Arlo's Sunshine 50/1, Had too much to do when dropped in trip and beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Returns from a long absence and is effective at 7f to 8f on the all-weather. Likely to need this run. His last win was in April 2023 and is best watched back from 429 days off. |

NEBULA STARS can strike at the third time of asking in the UK. After racing initially in Hong Kong, the seven-year-old returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with two very commendable efforts and the gelding makes plenty of appeal in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Borderline Madness won here in September and is likely to go well along with The Dark Baron and Gladiadora.

A competitive race in which the vote goes to GLADIADORA (nap), who hit a personal best with her comfortable win at Chelmsford.

1st (7) (13/2 +28%)River Vale |
13/2(+28%) | (7) River Vale 13/2, Won by 1l off 100 at Thurles three starts ago; made too much use of when tenth beaten 27l off 102 last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and has a fair hurdles mark based on chase form. Handicap chase win in October was over a staying trip, this could prove inadequate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 -100%)Club Manager |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Club Manager 8/1, May have found the ground a bit testing when stepped up in trip at a stiff track, well beaten in a Navan handicap hurdle; effective around 2½m and generally consistent when conditions suit. Has won on heavy ground but his two Wexford seconds this term were gained on better going. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (12/1 +40%)Tsavo Park |
12/1(+40%) | (12) Tsavo Park 12/1, Improved to finish a 10l third in a Thurles maiden hurdle last time; back from a short break; effective at 2m and needs to confirm that promise in handicaps. Possibly flattered by his third of five finishers in a maiden at Thurles two months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -60%)King Kali |
12/1(-60%) | (5) King Kali 12/1, Well handicapped on his latest maiden run and scored by 2½l off 100 at Listowel last time; returns from a long absence but remains on a workable mark. Off for almost 15 months since 2024 Listowel festival win, not much mileage on the clock. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (15/2 +63%)Party President |
15/2(+63%) | (6) Party President 15/2, Bit keen and needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m and prefers a sound surface; must bounce back. Won twice in April including over C&D, in rear on latest, best on good or yielding ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (22/1 -22%)Bryson |
22/1(-22%) | (13) Bryson 22/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a Navan maiden hurdle last time; effective at 2m1f on yielding or good ground; opening mark looks fair but ground may be an issue. Took part in some of decent maidens; brought down on handicap debut at Navan yesterday.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/1 -56%)En Or |
7/1(-56%) | (1) En Or 7/1, Ran to form when down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; returns from a short break and thrown in on form in both codes; latest hurdles run franked at Listed leve; the one to beat. Unplaced in four Flat starts this year, ended last year with a good maiden hurdle second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 -29%)Hesgonethatway |
18/1(-29%) | (10) Hesgonethatway 18/1, Improved and made late headway when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; usually held up; effective at 2m on heavy ground and could progress now handicapping. Three-figure odds in three maidens, most recent effort at Gowran was not devoid of promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (12/1 +45%)Marelly |
12/1(+45%) | (14) Marelly 12/1, Had no obvious excuse when comfortably held in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last time; effective at 2m on softer going but currently out of form. On a long losing run since back-to-back wins in the final months of 2022, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (4/1 +43%)Money Heist |
4/1(+43%) | (3) Money Heist 4/1, Had every chance but needed the run when beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Down Royal last time; in good form over hurdles prior; fair mark on chase form; a contender. Had a run over fences in October, has changed stable, hurdles rating is quite attractive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (16/1 -14%)Free Flow |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Free Flow 16/1, Outpaced and well below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tipperary last time; effective at 2m and handles any ground but needs more after a break. Maiden hurdle winner in March, down the field in two handicaps since, top amateur booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (18/1 0%)Patty O'farrell |
18/1(0%) | (11) Patty O'farrell 18/1, Pulled up in a Thurles handicap chase last time; effective at 2m on good ground; in good form over hurdles previously; must bounce back. Useful handicap form on good ground early in the season, heavy going is a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (66/1 -164%)Taketwotoone |
66/1(-164%) | (15) Taketwotoone 66/1, Below form and well beaten in a Limerick maiden hurdle latest; returns from a long layoff; effective at 2m on heavy ground but tailed off when last seen. Lacks a recent outing, managed two respectable runs in maidens at Limerick in January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (28/1 -56%)Walk Away Harry |
28/1(-56%) | (9) Walk Away Harry 28/1, Wanted easier ground when down the field in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last time; effective at 2½m and handles soft ground but form has been declining. Bumper winner for Charles Byrnes, disappointing over hurdles but premature to dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (20/1 -122%)Ballyredinkingston |
20/1(-122%) | (17) Ballyredinkingston 20/1, Did too much too soon when upped in trip and failed to stay in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last time; effective at 2m on good ground; drop in trip a plus but conditions may not be ideal for handicap debut. Beaten a minimum of 40l in three maiden hurdle outings, hard to make a case for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (13/2 -18%)Titanium |
13/2(-18%) | (8) Titanium 13/2, Won a handicap by 2½l off 72 over 8f at The Curragh two starts back; ran to form when third in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle latest; effective at 2m on good to soft; in form under both codes and fairly treated on UK form. Gained an eighth Flat win on his penultimate start, interesting on handicap hurdle debut. |

MONEY HEIST has claims on his first start for Gary McGill. He was formerly with Gavin Cromwell for whom he finished second in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at this track in April. He has winning form over this trip and enjoys cut in the ground. Sheriffhill has been placed in his last two handicap hurdles, runs off a light weight, and gets a first-time tongue-strap. Tsavo Park was backed ahead of his racecourse debut over further at Thurles, but finished adrift of the leaders in third. If he takes to this trip and deeper ground, he can have a say. Titanium hasn't much jumping experience but has a chance, while Marelly and Club Manager aren't out of contention.

Winner of a handicap chase on this card last year, MONEY HEIST can avail of his lower hurdles mark on his first run for his new stable

(3) (13/8 +68%)Duhallow Tommy |
13/8(+68%) | (3) Duhallow Tommy 13/8, Below form back up in trip when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on GS, G; contender off lower mark. Form has dipped over fences of late and he now reverts to hurdles with something to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +10%)Kool Kid |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Kool Kid 9/4, Ran to form when 12l third in a novice hurdle at Hereford most recent run; effective 2m, acts on GS; good chance up in trip on handicap debut. Could improve for this longer trip (stayed well in his points) switching to handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -82%)Eliza Dolittle |
5/1(-82%) | (7) Eliza Dolittle 5/1, Won this last year; didn't stay comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; off a short-break; effective around 2m4f, best on sound surface, goes well at Plumpton; drop in trip a help. Dual C&D winner who comes back in trip after appearing not to stay 3m1f last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -11%)Golden Identity |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Golden Identity 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 102 at Hereford last time; effective 2m4f, acts on S, G; running into form, could win soon. Has benefited for wind surgery, posting two solid placed efforts; leading contender.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -33%)Grand Conqueror |
10/1(-33%) | (5) Grand Conqueror 10/1, Again ran to a moderate level when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Windsor last time. Yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and hard to fancy. Promise in points; of interest on handicap debut, particularly if strong in the market.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -164%)Kill The Groove |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Kill The Groove 66/1, Needed the run when pulled up in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m2f to 2m6f and acts on good ground. Needs to bounce back now handicapping. Weakened quickly on stable debut over C&D last time and now has questions to answer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (80/1 -344%)El Arco |
80/1(-344%) | (6) El Arco 80/1, Produced a poor effort when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Yet to find suitable conditions and impossible to fancy. Needs to show significant improvement for this step up in distance on handicap debut.. |

Any market support for Grand Conqueror would make him of significant interest on his handicap debut. The four-year-old has shown little to date but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he took a decent step forward. Kool Kid has shown more promise than Neil Mulholland's gelding but there is a slight concern about stepping up in trip. With that in mind, GOLDEN IDENTITY is taken to come out on top following a pair of solid efforts at Ffos Las and Hereford.

Golden Identity is feared most but preference is for KOOL KID on handicap debut now going up in trip.

(6) (3/1 +60%)Whitcombe Rockstar |
3/1(+60%) | (6) Whitcombe Rockstar 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 88 at Chelmsford last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Suited by 8-10f and acts on a sound surface. Respected off this mark. 5-12 on AW and was a good third behind King's Code at Chelmsford latest; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +33%)King's Code |
3/1(+33%) | (2) King's Code 3/1, Showed a good attitude and improved again when winning a handicap by a neck off 94 at Chelmsford last time. Effective from 10-12f and acts on a sound surface and all-weather. In fine form and respected despite a 4lb rise. Made it 9-23 on AW when completing a double at Chelmsford 18 days ago; respected up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +42%)Duke's Command |
7/2(+42%) | (4) Duke's Command 7/2, Made late headway off a steady pace when fourth, beaten 6l, in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective at 8f and best on a sound surface. This trip could suit him well. Dual turf winner who is unexposed on AW but he needs to find more at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -67%)My Fermoy |
15/2(-67%) | (7) My Fermoy 15/2, Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice at Southwell by 4 1/2l last time. Trainer is in form. Effective from 7-10f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces. Almost certainly has more to offer. Easy winner at Southwell but he needs to find more progress on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -80%)Have Secret |
9/1(-80%) | (5) Have Secret 9/1, Showed good attitude and ran to form when winning a handicap by 3/4l off 88 at Redcar last time. Effective at 10f and acts on soft or firm ground but has yet to shine on all-weather. Scored in good style at Redcar latest and a 3lb rise looks fair; dangerous back on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +70%)Storm Catcher |
12/1(+70%) | (3) Storm Catcher 12/1, Ran as though something was amiss when finishing down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective from 8-12f and handles a sound surface but has something to prove. Eight-time AW winner but he was tailed off behind King's Code at Chelmsford last time. |

KING'S CODE is in terrific form at the moment as he bids for a fourth win from his last five starts and David Evans' gelding is taken to handle a 4lb rise following his latest Chelmsford success. Have Secret has stepped forward on his latest starts and arrives 3lb higher than when scoring at Redcar last month, while handicap debutant My Fermoy appears best of the remainder.

An interesting race in which the vote goes the progressive 5yo KING'S CODE, who has won his last three Polytrack starts.

2/1(+20%) | (3) Springs Steen 2/1, Trainer won this last year; promising debut third beaten 1 1/4l in a Navan bumper; should progress and looks suited by this stiffer track. Stayed on nicely for a close third on debut at Navan, leading claims on that evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +40%)Burning Ability |
3/1(+40%) | (4) Burning Ability 3/1, Travelled strongly and possibly hit the front too soon when second beaten 3/4l in a 4yo bumper at Galway; returns from a short break and holds a useful experience edge. Promise over hurdles on debut, close second in Galway bumper latest, soft ground a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(2) (8/1 +0%)Of Land And Sea |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Of Land And Sea 8/1, Rallied after doing plenty early when 2l fourth in an auction bumper at Thurles on debut; effective at 2m and should benefit from the experience. Promising debut at Thurles, Mullins maintains partnership, should handle ground, player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +70%)King Idaho |
10/1(+70%) | (6) King Idaho 10/1, 20,000 euros Idaho gelding; half-brother to Sir Dan Dan, poor at 16f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. E20,000 Idaho gelding, dam related to bumper winners, check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +45%)Hey Now |
12/1(+45%) | (5) Hey Now 12/1, 12,000 euros Yorgunnabelucky gelding; dam a chase winner; likely to need further. Stoutly bred Yorgunnabelucky gelding, best watched on debut unless money comes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +50%)Dunleer Crystal |
14/1(+50%) | (8) Dunleer Crystal 14/1, Modest debut, well beaten in an auction hurdle at Clonmel on only start; has plenty to prove. 33-1 and well beaten on debut in a maiden hurdle, major improvement required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (18/1 -13%)Simply Natural |
18/1(-13%) | (15) Simply Natural 18/1, Below form up in class when fourth beaten 51l in a mares' bumper here last time; effective at 2m on yielding ground; needs a bit more to get off the mark. Point winner, had an excuse for poor run at this track latest, could rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (20/1 -167%)Tiktok Casey |
20/1(-167%) | (16) Tiktok Casey 20/1, Improved when 2l third in a maiden at Loughrea on latest outing; returns from a short break and still has a little to find. Improved effort at Loughrea in October, more needed to make an impact on Rules' debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (28/1 -180%)Golden Wings |
28/1(-180%) | (14) Golden Wings 28/1, Pulled up in a maiden at Lisronagh last time; wears a hood for the first time and needs to find significant improvement. Pulled up in sole point, hood goes on for Rules' bow, watch unless market speaks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 +24%)Some See Stars |
50/1(+24%) | (11) Some See Stars 50/1, Not clear run on modest bumper debut at Fairyhouse when not given a hard time; absent for a lengthy spell but could improve slightly for that experience. Off since heavy defeat on debut in March 2024, best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 -60%)S T Hamo |
80/1(-60%) | (10) S T Hamo 80/1, 3,200 euros Valirann gelding; full-brother to Mark The Man, a smart performer at 17f. Valirann gelding, brother to hurdle winner, yard respected in this sphere, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -21%)It's All Clear |
80/1(-21%) | (9) It's All Clear 80/1, 8,500 euros Vadamos gelding; dam a hurdles winner; may just need this. Vadamos gelding, dam point/hurdle winner, yard 0-10 in bumpers last 5 seasons. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 +0%)Loughtown |
100/1(+0%) | (1) Loughtown 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden at Damma House last time; faces a stiff task. Vadamos gelding, pulled up sole start in points last month, best watched. |

SPRINGS STEEN finished well to be a close third on debut in a Navan bumper and, with that experience banked, ought to improve from the run. He is a nicely-bred sort who is a half-brother to a double Grade 2 winner over fences. Think It Through is a full-sister to a Grade 2 novice hurdle winner and should be given a market check. She was an easy winner of a point-to-point in February last year and has switched to Emmet Mullins for her racecourse career. Burning Ability was caught in the closing stages when runner-up at Galway, but encounters much slower ground now. Lennon Grove and Of Land And Sea are others to consider.

Preference is for SPRINGS STEEN who caught the eye finishing off his race nicely on testing ground at Navan

Could contend on debut for a yard that does well in bumpers. Likeable pedigree and hails from respected stable, making her of interest on debut.. |

(2) (9/1 +25%)Flying Pimpernel |
9/1(+25%) | (2) Flying Pimpernel 9/1, Below debut form when well beaten in a bumper at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Trainer in form. Effective at around 2m2f on good ground; needs to bounce back. Could get back to her earlier promise for a respected stable after a break; not ruled out.. |

11/1(+78%) | (7) Secret Des Lune 11/1, £8,000 Maxios filly; half-sister to Owzthat, a fair performer at 16f. Dam was a hurdles winner up to 2m4f. Others preferred on debut. Stable's three bumper runners this season have yielded two wins; interesting newcomer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 -122%)Wings And Wands |
20/1(-122%) | (12) Wings And Wands 20/1, Promising debut as a neck winner in a maiden point at Borris House. Absent for a very lengthy period but effective at 3m in points and brings potential to her rules debut. Irish point winner in April 2024; has long absence to overcome and probably best watched.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 -175%)Svelte Silhouette |
22/1(-175%) | (9) Svelte Silhouette 22/1, A bit keen but finished well in a hood when third, beaten 6l, in a Wincanton bumper on debut. Effective at 1m7f on good ground and should improve. Shaped encouragingly on debut and, with this longer trip likely to suit, she's respected.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -100%)Ledecka |
28/1(-100%) | (4) Ledecka 28/1, Improved on debut when second, beaten a length, in a Mares' bumper at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m and likely to run well on debut for new yard. Close second at Ffos Las last time and one to consider with further progress likely.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -65%)Pure Ocean |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Pure Ocean 33/1, Crystal Ocean filly; half-sister to hurdle and chase winner Cardamon Hill, effective up to 3m. Looks an unlikely winner on debut. Nicely bred filly being related to Champion Hurdle winner Binocular; worth a market check.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 +0%)Willshebe Court |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Willshebe Court 33/1, Raced wide but showed some promise, though well beaten, in an Amateurs' bumper at Worcester on only start. Wears tongue-tie for the first time. Effective around 2m on good to soft ground; improvement required. Beaten 22l on debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in June; tongue-tie now added.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 -25%)Approaching Storm |
100/1(-25%) | (1) Approaching Storm 100/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden bumper at Fontwell on only start. Bred for trips of 2m4f and further, so major improvement required. 28-1 when finishing a 45l last of nine on debut at Fontwell in May; others appeal more.. |

JOAN'S CHOICE improved from her first start when beaten a head at Wetherby towards the end of last month and that form arguably sets the standard. The five-year-old should appreciate the extra couple of furlongs on offer and gets the vote ahead of Skittish, who filled the runner-up spot at Sedgefield in October. Others to consider are Svelte Silhouette and Ledecka.

Svelte Silhouette and Skittish are respected, but the selection is JOAN'S CHOICE who went very close at Wetherby last time.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +42%)Ten Cuidado |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Ten Cuidado 7/2, Improved on debut when fourth beaten 5l in a maiden here last time; effective at 7f; more to come upped in trip. Improved on debut run when fourth over C&D last time; that form sound; interesting. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +61%)Personal Pride |
11/2(+61%) | (6) Personal Pride 11/2, Below debut level when beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Chelmsford last time; shows promise over 7f; type to do better when handicapping. Modest efforts in two maidens; likely to be one for handicaps further down the line. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +33%)Bergamo Gold |
12/1(+33%) | (7) Bergamo Gold 12/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford only start; returning from a break; should be effective 7f+; improvement likely. Ran as though needing the race when well beaten at 13-2 on debut; should improve. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 +39%)Striking Flame |
40/1(+39%) | (8) Striking Flame 40/1, 31 Mar; 6,000 euros Alkumait filly; half-sister to Quloob, useful at 14f; dam poor at 8f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 6,000euros yearling; unsold at £1,200 in June; half-sister to 6 winners; others preferred. |

Clive Cox has sent out three winners from 22 attempts on the all-weather for his juveniles this year and newcomer Horwich will be hoping to add to that tally, but it might be a tough ask to get the better of VARIETY ACT. The son of Lope De Vega did everything right but win when beaten a neck into second on his introduction at Chelmsford and, with that experience under his belt, he is tough to oppose. Bergamo Gold is the pick of the remainder.

The suggestion is TEN CUIDADO as the form of last month's C&D fourth has a solid look about it.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +64%)Enola Grey |
4/1(+64%) | (5) Enola Grey 4/1, Outpaced when stepped up in trip and a bit below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; suited by 7/8f on the all-weather and could benefit from a truer pace down in trip. Won C&D fillies h'cap last December; several good runs without winning since; place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +20%)Electric Avenue |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Electric Avenue 4/1, Scored by a length off 67 at Newcastle two runs ago and improved again when second last time despite being made too much use of; effective over 7/8f on a sound surface and has a good chance off the same mark. Has been in fine form with two wins at Newcastle and a good second over C&D; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -110%)Hilltop |
7/1(-110%) | (2) Hilltop 7/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 68 here in September; pulled clear with winner, ran to form last time; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; mark competitive still. Kempton win in September; three decent runs since, last time good 2nd at Newcastle; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (15/2 -25%)Holy Fire |
15/2(-25%) | (9) Holy Fire 15/2, Bit below form when beaten 3 1/4l off 64 at Lingfield last time; effective over 6/7f and on the all-weather; better than she showed last time. Won AW novice on second start in 2023; not won since, but 2nd seven times; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -13%)Quandary |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Quandary 9/1, Not suited to the way the race was run when beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective over 6/7f on a sound surface and could do better this time. Lingfield AW win in February; fair fourth at Southwell last month; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +0%)Lady Wingalong |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Lady Wingalong 9/1, Finished strongly when beaten a length off 73 here last time; effective over 6/7f on a sound surface but needs more after a 1lb rise. Two course wins (6f/7f); signs of a return to form when close 3rd here latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +40%)Handle With Care |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Handle With Care 12/1, Too keen and below form when well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; trainer in form; effective over 6/7f and on the all-weather but has lost form recently. 6f Lingfield (AW) win in March; below par after a break last time; should do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -52%)Exposay |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Exposay 50/1, Below form in cheekpieces when upped in trip and down the field in a handicap at Kempton last time; wears blinkers for the first time; effective over 7f on the all-weather but yet to shine in handicaps. Disappointing since Thirsk maiden win in July; new headgear tried; best watched. |

The in-form Electric Avenue finished a creditable second over track and trip on her latest outing and has to be considered off the same mark. C&D winner Lady Wingalong is also respected, but BELLA BISBEE made the perfect start for the Scott Dixon yard over course-and-distance last week and a similar display would make her very difficult to beat, despite her 5lb penalty.

This can go to LADY WINGALONG, who has a good win record and shaped as though returning to form when third here last time.

5/2(+79%) | (3) Chilliconcarneigh 5/2, Again below novice level when beaten 5l in a nursery at Kempton last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; needs more. Kept on for respectable fifth of 13 at Kempton last month; could have a say here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 +50%)Blue Mountains |
5/1(+50%) | (9) Blue Mountains 5/1, No-show from off the pace when down the field in a novice at Chelmsford most recent; trainer in form; yet to find suitable conditions; more chance now handicapping upped in trip. Did not emerge from the rear division in any of her qualifying races; up in trip here. |

6/1(-71%) | (4) Akrivos 6/1, Improved when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 3l off 55 at Chelmsford last time; effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather; should have more to offer. Placed behind Thanh Nam on recent nursery debut and 5lb better off with him here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -71%)Molly Mac |
12/1(-71%) | (2) Molly Mac 12/1, Too keen despite wearing a hood for the first time when 6 1/4l third in a nursery here on her most recent run; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; capable off this mark. Not threat to front pair when third here on stable debut (7f); tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 -40%)Bosh Soldier |
14/1(-40%) | (11) Bosh Soldier 14/1, No worthwhile form and returning from a break; yet to find suitable conditions; type to do better with experience in handicaps. Allotted puny BHA mark of 16 after struggling in three turf novice races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -80%)Shes Got The Blues |
18/1(-80%) | (5) Shes Got The Blues 18/1, Disappointing when stepped up in trip switched to all-weather, may not have stayed when beaten 7l in a nursery here last time; from a top course trainer; effective up to 8f; bounce back needed. Six-race maiden who made a low-key stable debut over C&D a week ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -67%)Family Values |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Family Values 20/1, Again ran to a moderate level when down the field in a maiden at Chelmsford most recently; likely to want 10f or more; blinkers now tried for her handicap debut. Has basement mark for nursery debut and the first-time blinkers might boost here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -150%)Lady Birgma |
50/1(-150%) | (6) Lady Birgma 50/1, Below form tried in visor comfortably held in a nursery here last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; headgear removed. Unexposed after only four runs but was safely held on last month's nursery debut (7f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -150%)Out In The Cold |
50/1(-150%) | (10) Out In The Cold 50/1, Never competitive when well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford latest; should be effective around 7/8f; the type to do better now handicapping. Well beaten in three maidens (6f-1m); might get more competitive now handicapping. |

Thanh Nam accounted for AKRIVOS by just under three lengths over a mile at Chelmsford last time, but competes off less favourable terms and the extra furlong might just benefit Ian Williams' youngster. Furthermore, this is only his second appearance in a nursery and the son of Blue Point could have more to offer. Keep a close eye on the market for Blue Mountains with Marco Ghiani booked.

Recent Chelmsford winner Thanh Nam is respected but the third from that race AKRIVOS might turn the tables here.

Runner-up all five starts; expensive to follow but ought to be on the premises again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/4 +30%)Caliban |
7/4(+30%) | (5) Caliban 7/4, Too keen and below debut level when fourth, beaten 2l in a novice at Southwell last time; effective at 12f and on this surface; should settle better now and has a big chance. Fourth in good Haydock novice in April and again ran well when back in action last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/8 +17%)Siouxfonic |
15/8(+17%) | (2) Siouxfonic 15/8, Fair debut when second, beaten a neck, in a novice at Southwell last time; second run after a wind operation; effective at 11f and should go well with improvement. Bumper winner who made good start to Flat career when close second at Southwell last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 -100%)Plutarch |
22/1(-100%) | (10) Plutarch 22/1, Showed best work late on debut when fourth, beaten 10l, in a novice here on first outing; effective at 12f and should improve. Quite promising debut when keeping-on fourth over C&D a fortnight ago; can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -14%)Victors Spirit |
25/1(-14%) | (3) Victors Spirit 25/1, Confirmed debut promise when second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a bumper at Newton Abbot last time; off a short break; should be effective at 12f though others are preferred on his Flat debut. Runner-up in two summer bumpers but best watched on this Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -32%)King's Cruiser |
33/1(-32%) | (8) King's Cruiser 33/1, Moderate debut in cheekpieces when well beaten in a novice at Southwell on his only start; bred to be effective over 10–12f and open to improvement. In rear throughout when 40-1 for last month's debut at Southwell. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (80/1 -142%)Zed Candy Boy |
80/1(-142%) | (4) Zed Candy Boy 80/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when third, beaten 10l, in a novice at Southwell last time; effective at 8f and the type to do better in handicaps. Displayed clear promise on both starts last month (6f/1m) but has a bit to find here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 +0%)Not So Sobers |
100/1(+0%) | (1) Not So Sobers 100/1, Stepped back from his debut when well beaten in a novice here last time; effective over 11f and looks one for handicaps. Bumper winner; safely held on both recent Flat starts; handicaps beckon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (100/1 -203%)Tupero |
100/1(-203%) | (11) Tupero 100/1, Stepped back from debut when well beaten in a maiden at Newcastle last time; effective at 12f; type to do better when handicapping. Made fairly encouraging debut in France in May but soundly beaten for new yard last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 -25%)Summer Evening |
100/1(-25%) | (12) Summer Evening 100/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice here last time; bred to be effective over 8–10f; improvement needed for the fitting of a hood. Displayed minor promise on both starts (7f/8.6f) but needs major improvement here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (125/1 -213%)John Galt |
125/1(-213%) | (7) John Galt 125/1, First foal of a maiden up to 8f; Elvstroem gelding who makes little appeal on breeding and is hard to fancy on debut. First foal; dam placed over 1m (RPR 74); has fairly good standard to reach on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (125/1 -150%)Equity Release |
125/1(-150%) | (6) Equity Release 125/1, Below debut level when comfortably held in a juvenile bumper at Huntingdon last time; 12f looks a good starting point on the Flat but others appear stronger. Showed only minor promise in two Huntingdon bumpers this autumn; Flat debut today. |

Military Cross has had plenty of chances now and this frustrating gelding might have to settle for second again, behind SIOUXFONIC. A bumper winner at Sedgefield, James Owen's charge finished a neck second at Southwell on his first start on the Flat last month - suggesting this extra furlong would really suit. Caliban is best of the rest in this maiden.

Andrew Balding's CALIBAN finished behind Siouxfonic last month but that was his first run since April and he can improve.

Suited by 5f and acts on the all-weather. Respected in a hat-trick bid under a penalty. New lease of life on AW; small penalty for latest win; return to this track can suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +14%)Michaela's Boy |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Michaela's Boy 6/1, Below form when beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; below last win mark but needs more. Well treated on two 5f wins last Christmas, including C&D; now back with former yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +33%)Grandlad |
6/1(+33%) | (5) Grandlad 6/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on GS, GF and AW; 1lb below last win mark now. Often leads; won C&D novice as 2yo but vulnerable in Tapeta handicaps on latest starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +17%)Accrual |
15/2(+17%) | (7) Accrual 15/2, Scored by a neck off 76 at Southwell three starts back. Too keen and below form last time. Effective at 5f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to bounce back. 2-5 on AW but much too free behind Alligator Alley at Southwell for new yard; eyeshield on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 -20%)Master Of My Fate |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Master Of My Fate 9/1, Too keen and again below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time. Returning from a break. Suited by 5f on a sound surface and fairly treated, but can boil over. Won four 5f events on AW last midwinter; successful on turf in June but off since July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -150%)Secret Mistral |
10/1(-150%) | (8) Secret Mistral 10/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off 72 at Haydock last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on any; in good form. Two AW wins last winter include one over C&D but still 7lb higher than the most recent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -150%)Cressida Wildes |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Cressida Wildes 40/1, Below form and never involved when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Suited by 5f and just gets an easy 6f. Acts on the all-weather and needs to bounce back. Two 5f wins this year, including on Polytrack; recent runs suggest she's high in weights. |

ALLIGATOR ALLEY is difficult to oppose. He has the bit between his teeth at the moment and confirmed the Southwell form with Cloud King when recording a double at Chelmsford recently. The quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race in good nick and Ruth Carr's gelding can carry a 4lb penalty to success to round out the hat-trick in style. Secret Mistral and Master Of My Fate are next best.

Most can be queried but ALLIGATOR ALLEY (nap) has been making hay on the AW and has a good chance of completing the hat-trick.

16/1(+36%) | (2) The Craftymaster 16/1, Below form in new headgear when well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest; trained by a top course trainer; best at 16f and acts on the all-weather; badly out of form. Six-time winner in 2024; badly out of form since November 2024; plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -13%)Sophar Sogood |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Sophar Sogood 18/1, Again below form when down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; off a short-break; effective 14-16f, acts on S, G, AW; lost form of late. Below par last two runs (won over 2m on turf in August); goes well on AW; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -186%)Koko Blue |
20/1(-186%) | (10) Koko Blue 20/1, Much improved when up slightly in trip and beaten a length off 55 at Lingfield last time; effective from 10-13f and acts on the all-weather; respected off this mark now stepping up again in trip. Unexposed; best recent run when third at Lingfield (1m5f) last time; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (22/1 +45%)Alex The Great |
22/1(+45%) | (3) Alex The Great 22/1, Never competitive when finishing down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently; trained by a top course trainer; effective from 14-16f with all best form on the all-weather; down to a nice mark but needs to bounce back. Won twice over 2m earlier in the year; rather lost his form recently; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -52%)Pomeriggio |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Pomeriggio 50/1, May not have stayed the trip when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; off a short break; not proven beyond 13f and acts on the all-weather; has a bit to prove. Ex-Irish; 7f Dundalk winner in December 2023; well beaten last AW run; plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -32%)Ice Opera |
66/1(-32%) | (11) Ice Opera 66/1, Again ran to a moderate level when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; suited by 10-12f and acts on the all-weather; little appeal despite dropping further in the weights. Ex-Irish; placed in two Dundalk maidens in January but mainly disappointing since. |

Lingfield scorer Fascinating Shadow boasts every chance despite the burden of top-weight, while C&D scorer Sneaky Blinder will no doubt prove popular with punters as well. However, it could be worth chancing BREAK POINT at the opposite end of the weights as he produced a really promising second-placed effort when back on the Flat here last time. The step up in trip is an interesting angle.

Although unproven at 2m on the Flat, BREAK POINT looks the one to beat having been in fine form since joining Olly Murphy.

(2) (13/8 +35%)Monty Beau |
13/8(+35%) | (2) Monty Beau 13/8, Ran to form when 3l third in a novice at Newcastle most recent run; effective at 8f, acts on AW; big gelding open to improvement now handicapping. Placed in all three qualifying races and should have improvement to come in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +68%)Youarenotforgiven |
7/2(+68%) | (6) Youarenotforgiven 7/2, Won by a head off 67 here three starts ago. Below form but with excuses last time. From a top course trainer and effective from 7f to 10f on all-weather; was in good form prior. Dual 9.4f course winner this autumn; has excuses for last two defeats; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 -35%)Dandy G Boy |
9/2(-35%) | (8) Dandy G Boy 9/2, Scored by 3/4l off 63 at Kempton penultimate start; ran to form last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f on sound surface; consistent but this mark demands more. Dual 7f AW winner from just five stable starts; in the mix here if stamina holds out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 -80%)Serious Look |
6/1(-80%) | (4) Serious Look 6/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 64 here three starts back; best work late down in trip when second last time; effective 8-10f, acts with cut and on AW; good attitude, fair mark still. Kept on well for second over C&D last month; contender if this race is run to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +0%)King Of Charm |
9/1(+0%) | (7) King Of Charm 9/1, Raced wide and ran below form when well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford latest. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 7f to 8f on all-weather; needs to bounce back. Has quite a bit to prove but lurks on a dangerous mark; watch the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -17%)Redhot Whisper |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Redhot Whisper 14/1, Too keen, stopped quickly, eased down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on GS, AW; good mark if bouncing back after a break. 0-13 for Ben Brookhouse and absent since poor run in June; stable debut; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -33%)Moby Quick |
16/1(-33%) | (5) Moby Quick 16/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time after a short break. Effective at 6f to 7f on all-weather but can be erratic. 6f turf winner in July; makes stable debut after three-month break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (18/1 -13%)Lenny's Spirit |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Lenny's Spirit 18/1, Below form and may have needed the run when beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Was in good form beforehand and is effective at 10f to 11f on all-weather. May come on for that outing. Dual turf winner this year; returned from break with down-the-field run this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -43%)Harbour Vision |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Harbour Vision 40/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap here last time. Suited by 7f to 8f on all-weather but looks up against it. Regressive veteran who has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

MONTY BEAU has shaped with a good bit of promise in three maiden/novice runs so far and could be well treated off 72 now sent handicapping for the first time for a shrewd yard. The extra furlong could unlock some improvement too and he gets the nod ahead of Serious Look, who has the proven course form in the book. Dandy G Boy is next best.

Placed in 1m AW novice races on his first three appearances, MONTY BEAU is taken to make a winning handicap debut.

11/4(+50%) | (1) Rajapour 11/4, No-show from off the pace when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; usually held up; effective around 8f; bounce back needed. Needs to better recent efforts but has slipped to a very tempting mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -27%)Barry's Boy |
7/2(-27%) | (4) Barry's Boy 7/2, Better than result, ran to form after wind operation when beaten 1/2l off 69 at Kempton last time; trainer in form; second run after wind operation; effective around 8f; respected on latest effort and may improve a little. Still on a fairly tough mark but gave good account when close fourth at Kempton last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -50%)Flightofthephoenix |
9/2(-50%) | (2) Flightofthephoenix 9/2, Below form, didn't get home when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; off a short break; effective 8-10f; workable mark. Below form last time and now 0-8 but ran well when third off this mark two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +72%)Caragio |
7/1(+72%) | (7) Caragio 7/1, Again well below form when beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; suited by 7f; completely lost his form. Finished last on all three stable starts; considered only if lively in betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -23%)Beaming Light |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Beaming Light 8/1, Too keen, below form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective at 8f; lost form of late. Often harms chance by racing too freely but on good mark if all goes to plan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 -83%)I Am Me |
11/1(-83%) | (3) I Am Me 11/1, Again below spring form when second beaten 2l in a seller at Musselburgh latest; off a short-break; effective 8/9f, acts on soft and good; bit to prove on AW. On good mark for this stable debut but has a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +45%)Yokkell |
18/1(+45%) | (6) Yokkell 18/1, Below form, didn't get home when well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; effective 8f, not proven over further; out of form since spring. Out of form for new stable since the summer and needs to turn a corner. |

FLIGHTOFTHEPHOENIX could be the one to side with. She wasn't at her best here last time, but it could be worth forgiving her one lacklustre run because her previous efforts at Chelmsford and Kempton were really solid. Barry's Boy has performed well in defeat in a couple of starts since switching to the all-weather, while I Am Me is another to note.

The pick is class-dropper RAJAPOUR, who has gone a long time since his latest win but sports new headgear and is well handicapped.

11/4(+31%) | (7) State Of Madness 11/4, Ran to form, well on top late when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 68 at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on GS, GF and AW; in fine form and 5lb rise may not stop him. Made it 3-4 for this yard when a ready winner on Newcastle AW latest; up further 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +17%)Ziggy's Condor |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Ziggy's Condor 5/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a mark of 73 at Newcastle last time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; consistent of late. Front-runs; many good runs since 6f win at Southwell in February; likely to have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 -17%)Havana Sky |
7/1(-17%) | (9) Havana Sky 7/1, Scored by a neck off 67 at Lingfield in October and ran to form back up in trip last time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; remains 4lb above last winning mark. Excellent AW record includes three C&D wins; in form and can be competitive again. |

(11) (7/1 +0%)Vince Lombardi |
7/1(+0%) | (11) Vince Lombardi 7/1, Scored by a length off 65 at Southwell on his penultimate start; bit keen, just outlasted last time; trainer in form; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; still capable off new mark. In good form over C&D and at Southwell (6f) but this may be too competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +33%)Study Up |
8/1(+33%) | (5) Study Up 8/1, Slowly away, outpaced, and below form when 5l third in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; lightly raced and capable of better. Winning debut in 6f turf novice; no progress since, including on handicap debut; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 -64%)Mumayaz |
9/1(-64%) | (8) Mumayaz 9/1, Improved for the fitting of a visor when landing a handicap by a length off 69 at Southwell last time; effective at 5-7f and acts on all-weather; considered up 4lb. C&D winner; persevered well to win going away at Southwell (6f) on 4th run for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +21%)Sensorium |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Sensorium 11/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 70 at Chelmsford on his penultimate start; well below form last time; wide draw; best at 6f and acts on all-weather; bounce back needed. Winning AW debut at Chelmsford (6f); widest draw there since and same fate today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -85%)Brakeman |
12/1(-85%) | (2) Brakeman 12/1, Below form dropped in trip when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a novice here latest; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on AW; more to come now handicapping back up in trip. Useful effort over C&D on second start; 5f not ideal since; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +14%)King Of Bears |
12/1(+14%) | (3) King Of Bears 12/1, Didn't get home and ran below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; blinkers first time; wide draw; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; mark keeps falling but needs more. High in the weights since handicapping; 6f back on AW can suit but drawn wide; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 +0%)Northcliff |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Northcliff 20/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; enjoys making it; wide draw; suited by 6f and acts on all-weather; bounce back needed. Course winner at 7f; won 3 on turf in the spring but not in the same form in recent starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 -83%)Orbital Chime |
22/1(-83%) | (12) Orbital Chime 22/1, Scored by 3/4l off 65 at Southwell on his penultimate start; below form dropped in trip last time; effective at 5-7f and acts on all-weather; step back up in trip should help. Revived on AW of late, winning at Southwell (6f) in November; this looks a tough ask. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 -100%)Megaphone |
80/1(-100%) | (13) Megaphone 80/1, Another step in the wrong direction when well beaten in a handicap here last time; effective at 5/6f and suited by all-weather; needs to bounce back. Two AW wins in early 2025; never made it pay in handicaps; well beaten for new yard latest. |

A trappy finale for punters to solve and STATE OF MADNESS just edges it. He hasn't finished outside of the first two home in each of his last four starts, which includes three wins, and it was encouraging that he was able to transfer his good turf form back to the all-weather when scoring at Newcastle latest. You can make cases for several of the others, but Ziggy's Condor and Mumayaz are the pick of them.

State Of Madness is respected but it may be worth chancing the promising BRAKEMAN on his handicap debut now back 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.
