Class & Speed Card

LUMP SUM won a Bangor bumper before finishing a promising third at Hereford in April, form which has been boosted by the second scoring since and the winner going close in a good contest at Ludlow recently. The Sam Thomas-trained gelding is fancied to make a successful start to his jumping career, although Onewaywest has match-fitness on his side after a decent second over further on his hurdles debut and is expected to build on that effort. Chauffeur Driven cost 65,000 pounds following a point-to-point victory and is better than he showed in a competitive Ascot bumper.

LUMP SUM looked well above average in bumpers and returns with his stable in good order, so he takes marginal preference over Onewaywest, who has the benefit of hurdling experience. Chauffeur Driven is also worthy of consideration.

This can go to ONEWAYWEST who appears to set the standard having finished runner-up in a bumper and on hurdles debut.
Class & Speed Card

IDY WOOD confirmed the promise of his opening two victories when producing a big effort in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month, outrunning odds of 22/1 to finish third. Jamie Snowden looks to have a useful novice on his hands and the five-year-old is very hard to oppose with a lot less on his plate. Greenhill Gardens was travelling well enough when falling two out over C&D on his seasonal reappearance and he can battle it out for the silver medal with Indian Louis, a point-to-point winner who got the hang of things too late on his hurdling bow.

IDY WOOD is taking a huge drop in class after an excellent third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and shouldn't have any trouble resuming winning ways. Stablemates Indian Louis and Greenhill Gardens can fight out minor honours.

Jamie Snowden looks to have found a good opportunity to get another win under the belt of the penalised IDY WOOD.
Class & Speed Card

The Nigel Twiston-Davies team continues in excellent form, which augurs well for the returning LORD OF CHESHIRE. Twice a winner over hurdles in the early part of 2022, his final outing at Cheltenham clearly wasn't up to scratch and the handicapper has dropped him back to the mark that he scored off at Wincanton on handicap debut. Sacchoandvanzetti has been in consistent form during recent months and he commands respect, along with Here Comes McCoy.

A small field but competitive fare. BON RETOUR seems to be finding her form again having turned in her best effort of the season at Carlisle last month and, with the winner of that race going on to frank the form at Cheltenham last week, she's the percentage call. Lord of Cheshire has a big absence to overcome, but he's a low-mileage sort who returns with his yard still very much amongst the winners. Sacchoandvanzetti has done little wrong for his new stable and ought to be thereabouts again.

A few of these have a bit to prove. SACCHOANDVANZETTI (nap) can reverse Carlisle placings with Bon Retour on this easier track.
Class & Speed Card

On his first start since a second wind operation, PERCY VEERING relished the return to chasing when scoring over the extended 3m1f at Warwick earlier in the month and he remains unexposed over fences. A 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him following up for his in-form yard, although Frankie Faulkner has been threatening to score in recent months and should give another good account of himself. Concrete King is tumbling down the weights and could be feasibly treated again soon.

This looks between FRANKIE FAULKNER and Percy Veering, with preference for the former who was unlucky not to prevail on heavy ground at Newton Abbot in September and conditions were probably too lively for him next time. Percy Veering displayed a good attitude when opening his chase account at Warwick and won't go down without a fight. Concrete King is on a good mark based on bits and pieces of form but he has a bit to prove at present.

Preference is for PERCY VEERING who appeared to benefit from a second wind operation when beating a big field at Warwick this month.
Class & Speed Card

SERIOUS EGO is back for more after scoring with authority over C&D under today's pilot 12 days ago, and a 5lb rise may not be enough to halt the Nicky Richards-trained gelding if he can reproduce that improved effort. Having been put up 17lb, largely due to winning two mares' races at Newcastle, it looked as though the handicapper may have caught up with Our Laura B when fourth over 2m4f here in June, but she weakened late on that day and might appreciate this drop in trip. Malangen returned to form when not beaten far at Carlisle and has subsequently slipped back to his last winning mark.

With Conor Rabbitt on board, SERIOUS EGO took advantage of a career-low mark over C&D last time and a 5 lb rise back up in the weights might not be enough to prevent him following up. Our Laura B has been progressive in handicaps and is respected on her return to action, while Malangen can give his running once more.

The tentative suggestion is APPLAUS, whose form earlier in the year suggests that he might just have enough to defy this mark.
Class & Speed Card

ACT OF AUTHORITY finished sixth when contesting a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and the drop in class represents a suitable opportunity for Olly Murphy's gelding to bounce back to the sort of impressive form he displayed on his hurdling bow at Bangor. Soldierofthestorm won here in May and is expected to step forward from his recent outing at Ascot, while others worth considering are El Saviour, Jeteye and Clararose.

ACT OF AUTHORITY wasn't up to a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month but holds good claims with his sights lowered. Clararose and Soldierofthestorm bring C&D form to the table and might be the pair to give the selection most to do, although Irish point recruit El Saviour could also have a say in the battle for minor honours if the betting speaks for him.

This looks a run-of-the-mill novice and clearly considerably easier than the race ACT OF AUTHORITY contested at Cheltenham.
Class & Speed Card

Oak Creek has sound form claims on his second in a 3m contest at Ludlow in February but he is returning from a layoff and may have to play a supporting role again, this time to MINELLA BLUEWAY. A point-to-point winner who was bought into the Evan Williams stable for 37,000 pounds, there was a lot to like about his hurdling debut third over a similar trip at Chepstow a fortnight ago and he can show the benefit of that outing. Bridget Mary is very interesting on her NH bow for Rebecca Curtis having changed hands for 75,000 pounds after scoring between the flags.

MINELLA BLUEWAY showed plenty to be positive about when placed on Rules debut at Chepstow earlier in the month and gets the nod over Oak Creek, who made the frame in a pair of maidens earlier in the year. Irish point winner Bridget Mary is an interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to MINELLA BLUEWAY who showed more than enough when third on his first start over hurdles at Chepstow a fortnight ago.
Class & Speed Card

TIGER KING certainly didn't help his cause by veering right about a furlong out over C&D last Wednesday and, if avoiding a repeat of those antics, should go close. The Richard O'Brien-trained colt was still beaten less than two lengths behind newcomer Cash Collector and Billy Lee will be on alert for any wayward tendencies. Riding arrangements suggest Blue Soul is preferred of Ger Lyons' pair, while Centuria showed some promise despite meeting trouble in running early on last time. Newcomers to note include Blackpink, by Sioux Nation from the family of some smart juveniles in the States, and Saffredi who is by Twilight Son and out of a sister to a 1m2f Listed winner.

GO GO GONZO offered something to work on here 3 weeks ago and can find the required improvement to beat Tiger King and Centuria.

If TIGER KING can overcome the quirks he showed when chucking away a maiden here last week he clearly looks the one to beat
Class & Speed Card

Classic Maestro hinted at ability on his debut under Rules in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield and he can build on that, but he is bred to appreciate further and preference is for INOX ALLEN. Connections paid 40,000 pounds for the five-year-old following a victory between the flags in May and Lucinda Russell looks to have found a good opportunity for him to make a winning start in this sphere. Cream Of The West may prove best of the remainder.

INOX ALLEN has joined Lucinda Russell after landing a point and he's well capable of defending his unbeaten record in a thin event on hurdling debut. Classic Maestro is the likeliest to capitalise if the favourite underperforms and Cream of The West could get involved.

Point winner INOX ALLEN makes his rules debut in a very weak race and this should be an excellent opportunity.
Class & Speed Card

PUSH THE BUTTON built on his Worcester success when staying on nicely for fourth in a decent novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month. That form sets a clear standard and the four-year-old warrants the utmost respect. Big Fish won in comfortable fashion at Exeter and has to enter the reckoning, while the unbeaten Cherie D'am and Yes Day add further spice to the contest.

Point winner CHERIE D'AM has looked a good prospect on both Rules outings and she's fancied to supplement her Wetherby success at the likely expense of Push The Button, who has actually achieved a bit more in form terms. Big Fish is also considered for all that he has a bit to find with the aforementioned pair.

Push The Button sets the standard on his Cheltenham fourth but BIG FISH looks a horse of considerable potential.
Class & Speed Card

FELICIE DU MAQUIS proved to be fairly useful over hurdles, with victories at Lingfield and under a penalty at Warwick on New Year's Eve. She placed in handicap company at Chepstow and appeals as the type who could do better over the larger obstacles. Walkinthewoods has to be of interest on his chasing debut having won here on his penultimate start. Kepagge and Kings Keeper are others for the shortlist.

Venetia Williams is enjoying an outstanding November even by her high standards and GEORGES SAINT can add to her tally having offered plenty to work on reverted to this sphere when fourth at Chepstow just over 3 weeks ago. Duc de Beauchene was never involved under a patient ride on return but he may well emerge as the main threat back in calmer waters, with chasing debutant Walkinthewoods and dual course winner Kepagge taken to fight out third.

The selection is chasing debutant KEPAGGE, who is a half-brother to three winning chasers.
Class & Speed Card

GOLDEN DAYS is from a yard in great form with five winners at the two meetings here last week. The selection has gained all three career wins over this trip and had both Tynamite and Sunset Nova behind when third to Storm Eric over C&D earlier this month. James Henry only went down by a head to the progressive El Bello here a fortnight ago and merits respect off just a 2lb higher mark, while Irish Rumour was placed behind the same grey gelding the previous week. Saoirses Lulaby only weakened in the closing stages when putting in two very solid efforts here over a mile and is interesting dropped back in trip and fitted with cheekpieces, while River Derwent is another to consider.

GOLDEN DAYS took a step back in the right direction when third over C&D 3 weeks ago and tops the shortlist off 1 lb lower. Sunset Nova and James Henry head the dangers.

Preference is for SAOIRSES LULABY after two good runs over 1m with the drop back to 7f likely to suit
Class & Speed Card

Heavy ground combined with the lack of a recent outing possibly contributed to KINGSTON BRIDGE's moderate sixth at Carlisle, but has the run is under his belt now and he has handled testing conditions in the past, so is given another chance. Clovis Boy showed handicapping will be more his cup of tea when fourth on his comeback, also at Carlisle, and is dangerous off the same mark. Solway Molly was ahead of him in second, but then failed to back that performance up at Sedgefield.

If able to build on his creditable handicap debut fourth in a big field at Carlisle last month, CLOVIS BOY could be the answer. Noble Affair is second choice, returned to the scene of her breakthrough success during the spring, while Kingston Bridge should come on for his reappearance run and is also in with a shout.

With the reappearance under his belt, KINGSTON BRIDGE (nap) could well resume his progress.
Class & Speed Card

Marsh Wren won twice in three outings last season and the switch to the larger obstacles may yield further improvement from the seven-year-old. However, she will need to be near her best to stop LAGONDA. Venetia Williams' mare went close on her sole chase outing when beaten a head at Exeter in February and she is entitled to step forward from that effort, despite being 6lb higher, having done well over timber since. Kraqueline scored on her fencing bow at Wincanton and she is capable of being in the mix too.

In what looks a strong race for the grade, the vote goes to LAGONDA, who was just touched off by an upwardly mobile type in Lazy Sunday (subsequent form figures read 1122) on her sole previous start in this sphere at Exeter in February. She represents a yard that has made a terrific start to the season and resumes on what looks a fair mark. Kraqueline left her hurdles form well behind when making a winning chase debut at Wincanton and she is next best ahead of Moviddy and Game On For Glory.

Today's return to fences could be a major positive for two-time point winner LAGONDA, and she's the pick ahead of Kraqueline.
Class & Speed Card

GROVE ROAD clearly wasn't at his best when struggling to land a blow on his handicap debut at Perth in the spring and it would be no surprise to see the seven-year-old bounce back to form, especially with testing conditions underfoot. Balkardy (second) finished almost three lengths ahead of Ballymagroarty Boy (third) when the pair met over C&D earlier in the month and both have to enter calculations here.

MARIO DE PAIL reverts to hurdling on a favourable mark on the pick of his form, so he receives the vote. Ballymagroarty Boy and Balkardy are closely matched on their recent C&D form and they head the opposition.

The choice is BALKARDY (nap) who has finished runner-up in both starts since returning over hurdles last month, the latest over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

CHICA POWER gained her third C&D win last month and should be well suited by the return to this trip after finding a mile too far when the pace was too hot in a claimer last week. The booking of Colin Keane is interesting. The champion jockey has been a regular partner on Knockmore Prince who went close on a number of occasions here earlier this year and came from well off the pace when third over a mile last time with Bucky Larson a length further back in fifth. Gobi Star is another to consider after going close on his return to the Polytrack a fortnight ago, while C&D winner Amemri needs to bounce back after a disappointing run last time.

KNOCKMORE PRINCE shaped well from a long way back after attracting support here last time and, from an appealing mark, he's fancied to get his head in front if the race is run to suit. Gobi Star looks the main danger and Bucky Larson isn't without hope.

The one to beat is the consistent GOBI STAR(nap), narrowly beaten over C&D last time and a reproduction could be good enough
Class & Speed Card

LISLORAN made good strides over fences last season and he had possibly had enough on his final appearance of the campaign at Carlisle. He reappears over the smaller obstacles off a comparatively lenient rating and providing he is near to peak fitness, he can take advantage. If he does need the run, Lacila Blue might be the chief beneficiary after an encouraging third on her Kelso return. Show No Fear and Hostile Hotelier are handicap debutants to consider.

SHOW NO FEAR could be thrown in on the pick of his Irish form and seemed to be on the way back at Newcastle last week, so gets the nod over Lacila Blue, who made a sound return in maiden company last month. Lisloran is also interesting from his lower hurdles mark.

Given his effort when placed in Ireland and a good recent AW run, perhaps the juvenile SHOW NO FEAR can take advantage of these terms.
Class & Speed Card

AYE RIGHT appeared to have the race in safe control on his return at Chepstow before idling after the final fence and getting caught close home by Good Boy Bobby, who has gone in again since. The 10-year-old was also entitled to get tired, with it being his first run since February, and it won't be a surprise if he is capable of outclassing his rivals. Thomas Darby was fourth in that Chepstow event and he should strip fitter for the outing, while Mill Green is of interest back over fences.

JIMMY THE DIGGER shaped well making his first start in veteran company at Aintree on his return, close up and going strongly when unseating at the eleventh, so he is taken build on that and get back to winning ways. Aye Right was only narrowly denied on his reappearance and can give his running once more, with Mill Green the pick of the remainder.

In receipt of weight from all his rivals, JIMMY THE DIGGER is taken to make amends for his unfortunate departure at Aintree.
Class & Speed Card

BOSTON JOE recorded a bloodless success over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton last month and Rebecca Curtis' gelding is fancied to defy a subsequent 8lb rise now returned to further. Pageant Material failed to make an impact over hurdles at Chepstow a fortnight ago but the multiple course winner ought fare better back over the larger obstacles. Lincoln Lyn, who was running well when last seen, is also noted.

LINCOLN LYN held her form well over fences last season and can make a winning return back down in class. Boston Joe is the obvious threat after his easy comeback victory at Wincanton, while Royal Mer is no forlorn hope back over fences off a tempting mark.

This can go to PAGEANT MATERIAL who has less to prove that many, having dropped 1lb lower than when winning over C&D in March.
Class & Speed Card

Top-weight in a nursery is often quoted as a winning formula and it may prove fruitful here as DREAM TICKET holds strong claims judged on her handicap debut last Friday. The Willie McCreery-trained filly, who will be raised 3lb in future handicaps, had Highland Bells well behind when beating all bar Bergamasco over a mile and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the step back in trip having travelled smoothly to challenge over a furlong out. Private Officer has only raced with plenty of cut in the ground and was far from disgraced behind the impressive Samuel Colt in a 20-runner maiden at the Curragh last time, while at the other end of the weights, Amerigo Vespucci and Maria Land have shown glimpses of form.

DREAM TICKET showed much improved form on her all-weather/nursery debut when finishing runner-up here on Friday so, provided this outing doesn't come too soon, Willie McCreery's filly can go a place better. A better showing is anticipated from Maria Land having her first start on the all-weather so she's put forward as the main threat fitted with a tongue tie, with Relentless Flyer rounding off the shortlist.

Only DREAM TICKET has reached the first three and she stands out in this company after last Friday's second over 1m at this venue
Class & Speed Card

Jamie Snowden has his team in top form and is always worth a look when he sends one to Hexham. Of his three bumpers runners at this venue in the past five years, two have won, which all bodes well for the chances of WENDIGO, who cost 70,000 pounds after landing an Irish point-to-point and made an encouraging beginning to his career under Rules when third at Worcester. Court Case was beaten a fair way into third over C&D on his introduction but should step forward, while St John's Road is related to plenty of winners so is the pick of the newcomers, and potentially the biggest danger.

Worcester third WENDIGO looks very much the one to beat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Lucinda Russell newcomer St John's Road.

Point winner WENDIGO was a promising third at Worcester on last month's bumper debut and should be tough to beat today.
Class & Speed Card

CHIQUE ANGEL cost 110,000 euros at the Goffs Land Rover sale in June 2022 and it seems significant that Harry Cobden opts to ride her over stable companion Summer Brise. The latter was clearly expected to run well on her Rules debut in Newbury's valuable sales bumper in March and plenty will afford her another chance to deliver. Apples Moon, whose dam is an unraced half-sister to Finian's Oscar, and Lindy Reilly appeal most of the remainder.

CHIQUE ANGEL proved popular at the sales and represents a top stable so is taken to make a winning start. Rula Bula showed ability in a bumper at Aintree so is respected, while Either Or and Lindy Reilly are other likely newcomers.

It was a modest point that EITHER OR won in Ireland but she warranted a mention in Nicky Henderson's Stable Tour.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS, whose Ballinrobe third sets the standard and looks a strong piece of form. Now in the care of David Pipe, the five-year-old can take a step forward and strike at the second time of asking under Rules. Largy Poet struck the woodwork in a point-to-point back in the spring and must be respected for his leading trainer. Evan Williams saddles two in Mount Washington and Juby Ball, of which the former is marginally preferred.

A good chance this will develop into a match between Irish point recruit LARGY POET and Ballinrobe bumper third Phantomofthepoints. The former has joined the top yard in Britain ahead of his Rules debut so he's preferred, although the betting will provide more clues.

It may be worth siding with PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS whose third at Ballinrobe in May has since been boosted by the second, fourth and sixth.
Class & Speed Card

This looks quite a tightly knit maiden and perhaps CROSS BORDER can open his account. The Expert Eye gelding didn't make his debut until this summer and has shown promise on a number of occasions including when going close at Down Royal and only went down by a neck to Bold Optimist over C&D last time. First Gentleman was placed on his first five starts this year and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this surface, while Never Cry Never probably found seven too far here last time and is now fitted with cheek pieces. Reinforce was having his first run for Danny Murphy when keeping on behind better-fancied stablemate Maggie McGrath on his first start in over four months.

Billy Lee takes over in the saddle on CROSS BORDER for the first time and Edward Lynam's charge can gain compensation for his near miss here last month. If First Gentleman is back to anywhere near his best he's the main threat ahead of Never Cry Never.

The vote goes to NEVER CRY NEVER who is a little less exposed than three other runners with a similar official rating
Class & Speed Card

Tres Chic showed much more on her nursery bow and then confirmed that promise when breaking through at Leicester. A rise of 3lb is fair, but the runner-up did absolutely nothing for the form next time so she is passed over in favour of TERRATINO FIRE, who was an encouraging third on his handicap debut at Newcastle and is now 4lb better off with runner-up Eagle Landed, with cheekpieces replaced by a visor. There should be races in Checkmeout off this sort of figure, while Bradman is just one more to consider.

BRADMAN is given a chance to build on the promise of last week's C&D nursery debut fourth. Newcastle runner-up Eagle Landed is second choice ahead of Stan Moore's Leicester winner Tres Chic. Cadogan Gardens could have more to offer now handicapping and would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Marco Botti is having a fine November and his TRUE BLUE GENT could relish this step up in trip on nursery debut.
Class & Speed Card

Skontonovski, NOTFORALONGTIME and Storm Eric renew rivalry after meeting over seven furlongs here a fortnight ago and the Laura Hourigan-trained gelding gets the vote to land this corresponding race for the second successive year. The selection won twice over C&D around this time last year and enjoyed the return to this surface last time. Skontonovski was recording his sixth career win last time and is an obvious threat, while Storm Eric won here in the spring and also appreciated a return to the Polytrack winning earlier this month before not getting the clearest of runs last time. Morning Approach found the extended 10 furlongs too far last week, while Roman Palace and Airgead are others to consider.

A chance is taken on John McConnell's HAPPAUGUE with the booking of Colin Keane catching the eye. Notforalongtime, Skontonovski and Storm Eric are closely matched on recent course form and head the dangers.

Preference is for AIRGEAD, a revelation in blinkers last twice and might not be stopped by a 5lb penalty
Class & Speed Card

BANKRUPT is flying at present and completed a hat-trick with another determined display to get the better of Nordic Glory at Lingfield. Equally at home on Tapeta, Chelsea Banham's speedster can continue his winning spree under his penalty, although he potentially faces competition for the lead from Teresa Grace, who might be dangerous if taking to the all-weather. Aconcagua Mountain is two from two here, with Victors Dream and Cuban Grey a couple more to enter the equation.

BANKRUPT is taken to land the 4-timer from a favourable draw. The returning Victors Dream is interesting, while Teresa Grace could figure on her AW debut.

Bankrupt isn't taken on lightly in his current form but ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN makes plenty of appeal in his bid to make it 3-3 here.
Class & Speed Card

KAMPALA BEACH won over C&D 12 months ago and added to his tally over nine furlongs at Leopardstown this summer. The Belardo gelding hails from a yard in cracking form at present and further advertised his claims when third to The Mpex Kid here last month. Patrick Street won here early last year and returned to form when taking a 20-runner handicap over a similar trip at Navan last month. Comfort Line won three times for Mick Mulvany including at Navan last year and has tumbled down the ratings after a generally disappointing campaign this season. Kartayaz has won three times over C&D and gave encouragement when again making the running here a fortnight ago, taking third behind Bright N Shine.

Though stall 14 isn't ideal, KAMPALA BEACH is otherwise very appealing in a handicap devoid of many strong candidates, particularly judged on recent exploits. He returned to form when third off this mark over C&D last month and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. Fashion Flair is worth considering with Colin Keane up for this all-weather debut, while Kartayaz and Well Suited both make some each-way appeal.

The Collins/Halford team is in good form and \KAMPALA BEACH\p makes plenty of appeal following his C&D third last month
Class & Speed Card

Embroidered Cloth let down favourite-backers when fifth of sixth on his Doncaster debut. Those in front of him are rated in the 80s or higher, but the subsequent 19-month absence can't be ignored so the vote goes to MOON FLIGHT. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding has occupied the runner-up berth in four of his seven starts, most recently at Chelmsford last week, and he can finally be rewarded for his consistency. Kanohi Breeze and Kaidu could make the frame.

With no strength in depth to this maiden, EMBROIDERED CLOTH is worth chancing despite being absent since making his debut at Doncaster in April 2022. Better was clearly expected on that occasion (sent off favourite) and it will look significant if there's confidence behind him in the betting. Moon Flight is the obvious one but he's proving expensive to follow and it's hard to pin down what his optimum trip is. Kaidu and Kanohi Breeze are others to consider.

Kaidu and Moon Flight (feared most) have had their limitations exposed so it looks worth risking EMBROIDERED CLOTH.
Class & Speed Card

DINAMINE has yet to score after 27 starts for a number of trainers but may finally gain a deserved winning bracket. The selection went close a few times last year including when beaten just a nose at Down Royal and was fitted with a hood for the first time when fourth to Neverfindanother U on his return to this venue last month. Old Peculier was well backed when only beaten just over a length here last Wednesday, while others to consider include Lucky Question, who is trying this surface for the first time, and the dual-purpose Wajaaha. The top-weight has put together three solid efforts here in recent weeks and still just remains in this grade.

WAJAAHA has been knocking on the door of late and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. He may have most to fear from Not Just Any Eagle, who wasn't disgraced on his all-weather debut over C&D last month. Old Peculier is third choice ahead of Lucky Question, while Oakley could also have a part to play, provided he takes to this surface and is able to put a below-par effort at Navan last time behind him.

There was plenty of market confidence behind OLD PECULIER here last week. He looked unlucky not to get into the money and may atone now
Class & Speed Card

Georgia Dobie got a good tune out of WHITE UMBRELLA last week, with the pair coming from the rear to strike over C&D. As that was an apprentices' race, Chris Kellett's four-year-old escapes a penalty and she can take full advantage. Jumira Bridge burst back into life when recording a decisive triumph at Chelmsford and is a threat off a 5lb higher rating. Sherdil was fancied to perform a lot better than he did at Newcastle last week and the step up from 5f is an interesting move.

WHITE UMBRELLA escapes a penalty for her recent C&D success so, if the race doesn't come too soon, she should be able to follow up. Jumira Bridge looks a major threat and Sherdil is likely to bounce back to form.

White Umbrella is the one to beat after last week's cosy C&D win but this could be the day it all clicks for WHITE MIST.
Class & Speed Card

Clarendon House was a big disappointment at Sandown when last seen, although he was in good form prior to that and has been gelded during his time off. As is the case with Chipstead, though, he needs to prove his worth on an artificial surface, whereas GLORIOUS ANGEL is a three-time Tapeta winner who was hammering on the door in handicaps prior to coming up short in the Wentworth Stakes. Intrinsic Bond and Alligator Alley are two more to keep in mind in a trappy sprint.

ALLIGATOR ALLEY shaped better than the result at Newcastle last time and, in a race where several have something to prove, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Mondammej could pose a threat and Intrinsic Bond is a big player if back on his game returning to the tapeta.

The vote goes to ALLIGATOR ALLEY (nap), who could be in for another good winter having racked up a hat-trick this time last year.
Class & Speed Card

Mclean House is definitely the most interesting horse in the line-up, having won two out of three at the start of the year, but he has been off since March. As is the case with Andrew Balding's unexposed three-year-old, YORKSHIRE was gelded during his time off, but he has the benefit of a recent comeback run when a staying-on fifth over 6f at Newcastle and that could give him an edge. Cheekpieces helped Rock Melody return to the winner's enclosure at Musselburgh, while O G Beachwear and Talis Evolvere may have more to offer and Sterling Knight has slipped to a nice mark.

MCLEAN HOUSE continued his progress when successful at Kempton in March, moving into the race in stylish fashion, and he can pick up where he left off (has been gelded) to complete the hat-trick on his handicap bow. Talis Evolvere is best not judged on his latest run on heavy ground and could be the main danger, ahead of Yorkshire.

Little went right for YORKSHIRE when again heavily backed last time but there should be no excuses here.
Class & Speed Card

DANCE TIME was a surprise winner on her handicap debut at Southwell before backing that performance up when runner-up at Newcastle earlier in the month. The daughter of Time Test is expected to take another step forward and defy a 2lb rise from the assessor. God Of Thunder was knocking on the door when last seen and he is respected on his first start since May. Tafsir completes the shortlist.

TAFSIR has been shaping better than the result lately and should get a reasonable pace to aim at here, so she's marginally preferred to God of Thunder, who can be relied upon to give his running. Dance Time is also considered.

The unexposed DANCE TIME is on the up and she can resume winning ways at the main expense of Tafsir.
Class & Speed Card

RED HAT EAGLE continues to creep up the handicap following two narrow-margin victories at Kempton and Lingfield, and William Knight's gelding gets the vote in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Enola Grey did well to finish as close as she did when runner-up after a slow beginning at Newcastle last week. She can enter calculations along with Ravenglass and Eagle Day.

ENOLA GREY did well to finish as close as she did on debut for this yard at Newcastle last week, given that she blew the start. She will have every chance of going one better this time, provided she breaks more sharply. The hat-trick seeking Red Hat Eagle is an obvious threat and he is next on the list ahead of Eagle Day, who is of interest judged on his C&D near-miss last month. King of The Dance and Ravenglass are live each-way candidates.

Two standouts in RED HAT EAGLE and Enola Grey. Enola Grey should be winning races this winter but Red Hat Eagle is safer.
Class & Speed Card

PRINCE ALI has been a consistent performer over the past few months at this track and the slight drop back in trip gives the five-year-old strong credentials in his bid to get his head back in front. Win Win Power improved for Mick Appleby earlier in the year and he is capable of a decent showing on his return from a break, while Cliffs Of Capri and Star Of St James can fight it out for the minor honours.

PRINCE ALI has continued to run well in defeat since scoring over C&D in September and this looks a decent opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Cliffs of Capri remains one to be interested in despite a less-than-ideal draw, with Green Power also expected to bounce back having been left with too much to do over C&D last time.

A chance is taken on MONKMOOR PIP proving his heavy-ground effort last time to be all wrong.
