11:55 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (6/1 -20%) Immortal Fame	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Immortal Fame 6/1, Successful 3 times during 2021/22 campaign and built on a good reappearance second at Chepstow in October to get his head back in front at Doncaster (21f, good) last month, edging out the reopposing Burrows Hall by a neck. Unlikely to be much between them again. In-form contender this autumn, so he should be on the premises if he goes on the ground.
3	3 (3) (7/1 -40%) Fazayte	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Fazayte 7/1, Made a winning return to jumping in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen in September and followed up in a chase at Sedgefield (19f, heavy) 7 weeks later. Unseated 4 out over fences at Southwell since (too far out to predict what may have happened). Unseated in hat-trick bid; requires improvement on hurdles form but needs considering.
7	7 (7) (10/1 +29%) Belles Benefit	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) Belles Benefit 10/1, Successful on debut for this yard at Fontwell last summer and largely consistent subsequently, not disgraced when fifth of 12 at Hereford (25.5f, good) 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on first time. 3rd of 6 at Wetherby (3m) was the best of her three runs since a year off; cheekpieces now.
9	9 (9) (10/3 +17%) Burrows Hall	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(9) Burrows Hall 10/3, Carlisle winner in the spring and has returned with good placed efforts at Carlisle (17f, soft) and Doncaster (21f; beaten neck by Immortal Fame) in recent months. Bold show on the cards. Up 2lb but his stable has hit winning form and he gives them another good chance.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -10%) Edison Kent	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Edison Kent 11/1, Runner-up twice over hurdles at Worcester in September. Respectable third in a Fakenham handicap chase latest but again looked less than straightforward. Should figure but doubts about his attitude temper enthusiasm. Has had wind surgery. Competitive this autumn; given wind surgery after latest run; lots to prove on soft/heavy.
11	11 (11) (12/1 -20%) Lifetime Legend	12 12/1(-20%)	(11) Lifetime Legend 12/1, Built on early promise to break his duck in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February. Has dropped below that winning mark but hasn't really been showing enough to suggest he's ready to take advantage, beaten 13 lengths when third in small field at Uttoxeter latest. 1-27; third on both his starts this autumn but needs to better that form.
8	8 (8) (13/2 -18%) Awesome Foursome	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(8) Awesome Foursome 13/2, Latest win in hurdle at Perth in September. Good second at Ludlow (3m) next time but needs to shrug off a poor run at Uttoxeter since. 11l win at Perth (2m4f, heavy; up 7lb today) in September; disappointing on heavy latest.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -40%) Saturday Song	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Saturday Song 14/1, Got back on track when second of 11 over a slightly shorter trip here in May but added to his patchy record when down the field at Market Rasen in July. Given a break since and has run some of his best races when fresh. 0-8 but pipped here (2m3f, good) in May; off since running as if something amiss in July.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +0%) Just Loose Change	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Just Loose Change 14/1, Improved switched to handicaps last season, winning twice, including a decisive all-the-way success at Taunton (19f, soft) on final start of that campaign. Below par both starts this autumn, though, and remains 6 lb above the mark he defied at Taunton. Well beaten both starts this autumn and needs to resume last season's improvement.
10	10 (10) (17/2 -21%) Kiss My Face	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(10) Kiss My Face 17/2, Winning hurdler who arrives on the back of a good second of 11 on the Flat at Southwell 16 days ago. Needs considering. He looks in good order but there is more for him to prove given his record on soft ground.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -29%) Samtara	18 18/1(-29%)	(2) Samtara 18/1, Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle at Hereford in March and backed that up with a fine second at Cheltenham (17f) in April. His run of good form came to an abrupt halt at Worcester in May, though, and off since (has had wind surgery). Did well under Harry Atkins in February-April; badly hampered in May latest; wind op since.

LTO Selection:

Representing the in-form Tom Lacey yard, IMMORTAL FAME gained a fourth victory over hurdles when dictating the pace at Doncaster last month. A 3lb rise looks workable for the the seven-year-old, with Cameron Iles' 8lb claim likely to prove a big help, and he is taken to go in again. Although Saturday Song suffered from post-race ataxia when down the field on his reappearance at Market Rasen in July, he should appreciate this stiffer test of stamina and isn't discounted. Awesome Foursome isn't one to write off yet either.

Sue Smith's BURROWS HALL might be able to turn around last month's Doncaster placings with Immortal Fame and land a second career success. Kiss My Face, who won a Catterick handicap hurdle last winter prior to racking up a hat-trick on AW Flat in the spring, arrives fit from another good effort on the Flat and also makes the shortlist.

Testing ground is in the offing and BURROWS HALL (nap) presents the strongest claims. His stable was 2-2 with its runners on Thursday.

11:55 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (2/5 +25%) Harsh	0.4 2/5(+25%)	(5) Harsh 2/5, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Promising start over hurdles when third of 12 in juvenile at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Should have more to offer. One of 2 strong contenders for his stable. Fair maiden on Flat, betrayed inexperience when third on hurdling debut, should improve.
9	9 (9) (7/2 +71%) Evening's Empire	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(9) Evening's Empire 7/2, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 14/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 40 days ago. Won over 7f at two, placed twice this year but she showed no sign of progression.
8	8 (8) (9/1 +55%) Zuzukel	9 9/1(+55%)	(8) Zuzukel 9/1, Fair form when fifth of 8 in newcomers event at Saint-Cloud (led till inside final 1f) only outing on Flat for Carlos Laffon-Parias. New connections acquired him for €38,000 in July. One to note in the betting. Frankel gelding closely related to 1m4f Group 1 winner Junko, one run on Flat in France.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +52%) Inthenickoftime	12 12/1(+52%)	(6) Inthenickoftime 12/1, Gleneagles gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, 1m winner who stayed 1½m on Flat. Best watched on debut unless the betting hints otherwise. Flat-bred, Pattern winners close up in pedigree, own-brother Headwind poor over hurdles.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +70%) Blindman	20 20/1(+70%)	(1) Blindman 20/1, First run since leaving G. Hernon when seventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle (40/1) at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, very slowly away. Showed some reluctance at Punchestown, not disgraced in the circumstances.
11	11 (11) (80/1 +20%) Tasmanian Girl	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Tasmanian Girl 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 50/1) 23 days ago. Modest sort on the Flat, has failed to reach the first three in 15 starts, up against it.
7	7 (7) (80/1 +60%) Tom Red	80 80/1(+60%)	(7) Tom Red 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 24 days ago. Ran twice on the Flat, has made no impact in his first two races over hurdles.
3	3 (3) (80/1 -21%) Dougie's Double	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Dougie's Double 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifteenth of 17 in handicap (66/1) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft). Did not show much in Flat maidens, towards the back off a modest 59 in a Galway handicap.
4	4 (4) (100/1 +50%) Happenstance	100 100/1(+50%)	(4) Happenstance 100/1, Modest Flat winner. 125/1, eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, refusing to settle. Won at two, raced much too keenly and folded tamely on hurdling debut at Punchestown.
2	2 (2) (125/1 +17%) Cant Catch Camacho	125 125/1(+17%)	(2) Cant Catch Camacho 125/1, Poor form on Flat. Outsider now hurdling. Low-rated on Flat, tried over a variety of distances, impossible to make a case for him.

LTO Selection:

HARSH showed promise on the Flat including when just denied on testing ground over 1m4f at the Listowel Festival and there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut at Punchestown last month. The Dark Angel gelding nearly lost his rider at the first hurdle and didn't enjoy a clear passage in the straight before staying on nicely into third behind the impressive Mighty Bandit. Stablemate Jeaniemacaroney may provide the chief threat. She won a barrier trial and was placed a couple of times on the Flat and has taken well to hurdles keeping on well into third behind Semblance Of Order at Punchestown with Timeless Piece, successful twice on the Flat, close behind in fourth. Evening's Empire won a two-year-old maiden on soft ground at the Galway Festival and is another to note on her hurdle debut.

Possibly best to narrow this down to Joseph O'Brien pair HARSH and Jeaniemacaroney, with a preference for the former on the back of his promising opening effort in this sphere at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago. Timeless Piece looks pick of the remainder.

The market may help to clarify the picture but JEANIEMACARONEY gets a tentative vote over stablemate Harsh

12:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:25 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (5/2 +0%) Balhambar	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) Balhambar 5/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, probably stays 2m, creditable effort last time. Possesses the raw ability ti be a big factor now hurdling. Fairly useful 1m2f winner who appears to stay at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good.
7	7 (7) (5/1 -43%) Royal Thunder	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Royal Thunder 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who made a pleasing-enough start to his hurdling career when third at Uttoxeter in October. Unseated fifth at Ascot since and this will reveal more in a weaker race. Uttoxeter third is the best hurdling form in this field; unseated latest; now tongue tied.
5	5 (5) (6/1 -20%) Kotari	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Kotari 6/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 10.5f), left Jean-Claude Rouget/off 12 months before promising effort at Windsor. Failed to get home on hurdles debut at Fontwell (17.7f) and slight drop in trip can only help. Fair Flat maiden; prominent in betting for Fontwell hurdle debut (heavy) but beaten 54l.
8	8 (8) (9/1 +0%) Samazul	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) Samazul 9/1, Half-brother to numerous winners and won one of his 3 bumper starts last season. Didn't shape with great deal of short-term promise on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Player on bumper form and pedigree; tailed off on hurdling debut at Exeter (good to soft).
9	9 (9) (11/4 +0%) Taras Halls	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(9) Taras Halls 11/4, Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham but fell in a novice at Wetherby on hurdling debut 11 days ago. Seemingly none the worse for that given the fairly quick turnaround and was backed as though expected to go close. Fell at the third on hurdle debut but very much one to note judged on Huntingdon bumpers.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +38%) Come To Pass	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(3) Come To Pass 15/2, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) who has been without a win this year. Fourth of 8 starting out over hurdles at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Modest Flat winner; about 19l fourth of eight in novice at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy).
2	2 (2) (15/2 +0%) Ballybay	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(2) Ballybay 15/2, €195,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to useful bumper winner/smart hurdler Eskylane. Tongue tied and failed to finish his race off in a Punchestown bumper for Willie Mullina in April 2022. Interesting to see what new stable can do with him. Ran just once for Willie Mullins, when disappointing favourite for bumper in April 2022.
6	6 (6) (100/1 +0%) Lunar Ocean	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Lunar Ocean 100/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers in the spring and unseated rider on recent hurdles bow. Soundly beaten in his two bumpers and jumped moderately on hurdles debut.
4	4 (4) (150/1 -50%) Crac De Megaudais	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Crac De Megaudais 150/1, Showed more than on debut but was still ultimately well held at Warwick 18 days ago. Tongue tie fitted. Now tongue tied; needs a transformation on this third outing over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

TARAS HALLS comes with risk attached having come to grief at the third flight on his hurdles debut at Wetherby last month. Nevertheless, Sue Smith's charge posted some creditable efforts in bumpers last season and he looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature if putting it all together. Balhambar is a useful performer on the Flat and the four-year-old warrants respect if taking to this new discipline, while Royal Thunder is also worth a second look.

Stamina won't be an issue for BALHAMBAR switched to hurdling, and given his Flat ability, he may well outclass these if taking to this new discipline. Kotari, Royal Thunder and Taras Halls head the opposition.

He was an early faller 11 days ago but TARAS HALLS receives the vote nevertheless, given his bumper performances at this track.

12:25 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:45 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f - 24 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
15	15 (15) (3/1 -33%) No Time To Wait	3 3/1(-33%)	(15) No Time To Wait 3/1, Promising sort. Useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Third of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 10/3) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Sure to improve on that. Bumper form linked to Western Diego, in front of Raglan Road and Teuchters Glory at Gowran.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +40%) Houlanbatordechais	6 6/1(+40%)	(8) Houlanbatordechais 6/1, Promising type. Seventh of 21 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) on hurdles bow. Off 11 months and capable of better if learning to settle. Two APQS wins in 2021, things have not gone according to plan since joining Willie Mullins.
18	18 (18) (7/1 -110%) Raglan Road	7 7/1(-110%)	(18) Raglan Road 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Remote fourth at Gowran on seasonal debut, better judged on second at that venue in March.
21	21 (21) (8/13 +50%) Western Diego	0.615385 8/13(+50%)	(21) Western Diego 8/13, Useful winner at 19f in bumpers. Tailed-off last of 8 to A Dream To Share in Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft, 9/1), going with enthusiasm. Useful hurdles prospect. Point and bumper winner, seventh in Cheltenham bumper, has to be forgiven Punchestown flop.
19	19 (19) (8/1 -14%) Teuchters Glory	8 8/1(-14%)	(19) Teuchters Glory 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form fifth of 15 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Should run closer to form this time. Placed over hurdles last term, bumper winner, remote fifth on reappearance, can do better.
16	16 (16) (40/1 -264%) Old Port	40 40/1(-264%)	(16) Old Port 40/1, Useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft, 10/1), not ideally placed. In excellent hands. Six Flat wins for David Evans all but one on AW, not guaranteed to handle soft ground.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -317%) Midweek Voices	50 50/1(-317%)	(14) Midweek Voices 50/1, Fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Jumping again lacked fluency at Limerick, creditable fourth in the circumstances.
10	10 (10) (150/1 -50%) Liberated Light	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Liberated Light 150/1, Fair winner at 14f on Flat. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Won a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in July, big improvement needed from first two hurdle runs.
11	11 (11) (150/1 -50%) Lorca	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Lorca 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Brighton winner over 1m2f on soft for Andrew Balding in 2021, modest hurdles form so far.
13	13 (13) (150/1 -50%) Manor Royale	150 150/1(-50%)	(13) Manor Royale 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH Rules. 100/1, eighteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Showed some promise in a Tipperary bumper in May, never in contention on hurdling debut.
6	6 (6) (150/1 -500%) Fort Randall	150 150/1(-500%)	(6) Fort Randall 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Promise in summer bumpers on good ground, ran respectably on soft on hurdling debut.
20	20 (20) (200/1 -100%) The Dawn	200 200/1(-100%)	(20) The Dawn 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 6 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on bumper debut 15 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Moderate fourth in a bumper last time, trainer has a stronger candidate in Teuchters Glory.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -100%) Flemens Intrest	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Flemens Intrest 200/1, Sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 250/1) 14 days ago. Lightly raced, point winner in April, not a bad run over C&D on second start over hurdles.
23	23 (23) (200/1 +20%) Gentle Anna	200 200/1(+20%)	(23) Gentle Anna 200/1, Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle (125/1) at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Promise in points for Colin Bowe, big price when in rear over C&D on debut under rules.
24	24 (24) (200/1 +20%) Misty Milan	200 200/1(+20%)	(24) Misty Milan 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Struggled in outings at Gowran and Fairyhouse last month, makes no appeal.
17	17 (17) (200/1 -300%) Pirate Island	200 200/1(-300%)	(17) Pirate Island 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Third in a bumper, plenty to find with Midnight Voices on hurdles running at Limerick.
12	12 (12) (250/1 -25%) Lough Nigara	250 250/1(-25%)	(12) Lough Nigara 250/1, Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 200/1) 14 days ago. Soundly beaten in mid-field on first two hurdle runs, possibly one for handicaps later on.
22	22 (22) (250/1 -25%) Flickering Ellie	250 250/1(-25%)	(22) Flickering Ellie 250/1, Champs Elysees mare. Dam (h108) 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 21f), also 1m-1¼m winner on Flat. First foal out of a Flat and hurdles winner, one of four declared for this by her trainer.
26	26 (26) (250/1 -25%) Georgian Quarter	250 250/1(-25%)	(26) Georgian Quarter 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this course (16f, soft) 35 days ago. RESERVE. Second reserve, will probably need to get a handicap mark judging by performances so far.
1	1 (1) (250/1 +0%) Aboy Joey	250 250/1(+0%)	(1) Aboy Joey 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Three-figure odds for two maiden hurdle outings last month and has run accordingly.
2	2 (2) (250/1 +0%) Breakintheclouds	250 250/1(+0%)	(2) Breakintheclouds 250/1, 66/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 16 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Placed twice at a modest level on the Flat, tailed off at Navan on only start over hurdles.
3	3 (3) (250/1 +0%) Corballis Flyer	250 250/1(+0%)	(3) Corballis Flyer 250/1, Making jumps debut. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 25 days ago. Very experienced Flat performer, 2-34 record, fair form during the summer, poor recently.
4	4 (4) (250/1 +0%) Don't Tell Tiny	250 250/1(+0%)	(4) Don't Tell Tiny 250/1, Unplaced completed start in points. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 156 days ago. Weak form in point-to-points during the autumn campaign, unlikely to make an impact.
9	9 (9) (250/1 +0%) Irish Impulse	250 250/1(+0%)	(9) Irish Impulse 250/1, 100/1, fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Pulled up on sole point-to-point run last season, in rear over C&D on hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

WESTERN DIEGO won his only point-to-point start in good style and was a useful sort in bumpers last season scoring in decisive fashion over 2m3f at Naas. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was far from disgraced in the Cheltenham Festival bumper and is an exciting recruit to hurdles. No Time To Wait impressed in a Down Royal bumper and is closely matched with the selection on running in the aforementioned Cheltenham Grade 1, but was soundly beaten along with Raglan Road and Teuchters Glory in the maiden hurdle won by Ile Atlantique on heavy ground at Gowran last month. Teuchters Glory won two bumpers and probably boasts the best piece of form over hurdles with his third to Spillane's Tower at Naas last spring, while Old Port holds a rating in the 90s on the Flat

This is a deep maiden hurdle with WESTERN DIEGO just about the most persuasive option. He bombed out on his final bumper start during the spring but couldn't be in better hands. No Time To Wait could be a different proposition this time with Old Port also considered given his Flat ability.

Something was the matter with WESTERN DIEGO at Punchestown. His Cheltenham run gives him a narrow edge over No Time To Wait

12:45 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:55 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (4/9 +0%) Junkanoo	0.444444 4/9(+0%)	(3) Junkanoo 4/9, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who scored at Windsor (10f) in May. Made a promising start in this sphere when second of 4 in conditions event at Ascot (15.7f, good) 16 days ago so rates a big player in this grade. Pretty useful on Flat up to 1m3f; strong claims after his 40-1 second of four at Ascot.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -17%) Schmilsson	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Schmilsson 7/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding. Off 13 months and has shown some promise in two runs over hurdles for his new yard, hooded when seventh a Lingfield 10 days ago. Considered. Fairly useful 1m2f Flat winner; 19l third at Stratford but not so good ten days ago.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Pearl Island	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Pearl Island 12/1, Shaped well when placed in a pair of bumpers and also on his hurdling bow after 6 months off when fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter novice 22 days ago. This drop in trip is uncertain to suit though. 19l fourth of 7 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy); should build on that but others appeal more.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -20%) Sammy's Guarantee	14 14/1(-20%)	(9) Sammy's Guarantee 14/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers. Has shown ability when in mid-field in a pair of novice hurdles this autumn at Ludlow and Taunton. Shortlisted. Third start over hurdles, needing much better; tongue tied latest and now hooded as well.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -14%) One Eye On Vegas	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) One Eye On Vegas 16/1, Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but only modest form shown after a long absence in a pair of novice hurdles at Carlisle and Warwick recently. Needs a big step forward. Third in bumper here (2m, soft) in March 2021; well beaten twice over hurdles this autumn.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -10%) Sunset In Paris	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Sunset In Paris 22/1, Poor maiden on the Flat but he hinted at promise on his hurdling bow when fifth in 2m Worcester maiden in June. No forlorn hope back in this sphere. Flat maiden; sole run over hurdles, in a Worcester maiden in June, was also modest form.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -12%) Ballynaheer	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Ballynaheer 28/1, Mahler gelding who finished runner-up on his completed outing in points and ridden with an eye on the future when seventh on hurdling debut at Chepstow (16f, heavy) last month. Likely to need more time. Some promise at Chepstow (2m, heavy); non-runner there yesterday.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -32%) King Of The Road	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) King Of The Road 33/1, Well held in Newbury bumper and when seventh of 9 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Doncaster (16.6f, good) on hurdles bow 8 days ago. Lots more is needed. Tailed off in bumper at Newbury (good to soft) and novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good).
2	2 (2) (40/1 -21%) Blow Your Horn	40 40/1(-21%)	(2) Blow Your Horn 40/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) who recorded a hat-trick in the summer. Off nearly 3 months before a never-dangerous tenth on his hurdles debut at Hereford 19 days ago but remains with potential. Fairly useful Flat stayer; however, 28-1 for hurdling debut at Hereford and beaten 91l.

LTO Selection:

JUNKANOO impressed with how he travelled when second in a decent contest on his hurdles bow at Ascot last month and a similar level of performance should be enough for the six-year-old to open his account here. Schmilsson didn't quite progress as hoped when only seventh at Lingfield recently, but the sharper nature of this course may enable an improved bid. Olly Murphy's gelding is feared most, ahead of Pearl Island, who is entitled to build on his Uttoxeter fourth in November.

JUNKANOO rates the clear pick on the form of his hurding debut second at Ascot so this fairly useful Flat winner looks very much the way to go. Both Schmilsson and Sammy's Guarantee have gone with some promise in this sphere and can chase home Gary Moore's 6-y-o in that order.

This looks all about JUNKANOO who ran well on soft ground on the Flat in October and put up a bold show on his hurdling debut at Ascot.

13:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Solitary Man	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Solitary Man 4/1, Useful hurdler. Third win of season when proving 2½ lengths too strong for the reopposing What Path in C&D listed race 35 days ago. Received 4 lb from her old rival on that occasion so wouldn't be certain to confirm the placings off levels. Beat What Path over C&D last month; 4lb worse off but has scope for more.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -11%) What Path	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) What Path 5/1, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 5/2, creditable 2½ lengths second of 7 to Solitary Man in listed hurdle at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Meets Enda Bolger's pair on 4 lb better terms this time. Should go well. 4lb better off with Solitary Man on recent C&D form so claims but more likely needed.
4	4 (4) (7/4 +47%) Search For Glory	1.75 7/4(+47%)	(4) Search For Glory 7/4, Useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 7/2, creditable 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Croke Park in Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Form last season at 3m inconclusive and likely has a bit to find here.
3	3 (3) (15/8 -71%) Mahon's Way	1.875 15/8(-71%)	(3) Mahon's Way 15/8, Highly promising type. Won 14-runner maiden at Naas (18.9f, soft, 3/1) on hurdles bow 28 days ago, forging clear. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Smart prospect. Looked smart staying novice in the making at Naas; more required but could be up to it.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +34%) Sarah Beara	66 66/1(+34%)	(5) Sarah Beara 66/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in August. 20/1, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft) 17 days ago. Has a bit to find. Mare's weight allowance handy but still has it all to do to nick some black type.

LTO Selection:

There is little to choose between Solitary Man and WHAT PATH judged on filling the first two places in a Listed race over C&D last month. The selection, who won twice over this trip earlier in the season, is not the most fluent of jumpers and was again let down in that department at a crucial stage last time. Search For Glory was highly tried over hurdles last season and took advantage of a good opportunity in a Galway maiden this autumn before placed behind better fancied stablemate Croke Park in a 2m4f Navan Grade 3 last time. Mahon's Way won his only point-to-point start in good style last year and successfully switched to hurdles over 2m3f at Naas last month. He should be suited by this step up in trip.

MAHON'S WAY looked good when making a successful start to his hurdle career at Naas and can take the step up in class in his stride. On 4 lb better terms What Path and can turn the tables on last month's C&D conqueror Solitary Man and given Henry de Bromhead's charge most to do.

Henry de Bromhead won this last year with Hiddenvalley Lake and could repeat the feat here with MAHON'S WAY

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (5/1 +33%) Ravenglass	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Ravenglass 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 3 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Close up over C&D in November but below best on last 2 starts, returned to 7f on Thursday.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -100%) Intoxicata	5 5/1(-100%)	(6) Intoxicata 5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in November. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (4/6) at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago, despite not ideally placed. Seems sure to give another good account. Now 3-4 in 7f handicaps on the AW and creditable 3rd latest after racing wide; solid.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +0%) King Of Speed	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) King Of Speed 11/1, 28/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Now 2 lb below last winning mark, so can't be dismissed. Both wins at sprint trips on turf but acts on Tapeta; 7f may not be beyond him back here.
7	7 (7) (13/8 +87%) Global Warning	1.625 13/8(+87%)	(7) Global Warning 13/8, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 74 days ago, never nearer. Latest win, over C&D, in early 2022, and below best over the last 12 months.
4	4 (4) (13/2 -63%) Diamondsinthesand	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(4) Diamondsinthesand 13/2, Bounced back to best to get off the mark in 12-runner handicap at this C&D (17/2) 22 days ago. Consistent sort who's likely to go well again. Came from well back to win over C&D last time; up 6lb; good chance of following up.
2	2 (2) (17/2 +15%) Conri	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(2) Conri 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who showed improved form when fifth of 12 on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 21 days ago. Needs more but that's possible given his lightly-raced profile. All starts at 6f; better for recent handicap debut after a break; worth a go at 7f.
8	8 (8) (17/2 -55%) Sir Titan	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(8) Sir Titan 17/2, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. A reproduction of that form could see him resume winning ways. Losing run goes back over 2 years but in good form over C&D and should put up a good show.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -38%) Hawajes	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Hawajes 22/1, Fair maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs improvement on handicap form so far but a C&D race didn't go his way last time.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -313%) Pop Favorite	33 33/1(-313%)	(11) Pop Favorite 33/1, 3 wins from 19 runs this year, latest at Newcastle in October. 4/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 33 days ago. Three 1m wins at Newcastle in 2023 but rarely runs at 7f and drawn wide; work to do.
10	10 (10) (150/1 -838%) River Wharfe	150 150/1(-838%)	(10) River Wharfe 150/1, Course winner who probably needed the run after 5 months off when last of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 22 days ago. Course winner at about 1m but mixed form in recent starts and dropped right out last time.

LTO Selection:

DIAMONDSINTHESAND capitalised on a career-low mark when appearing to win with something in hand over C&D last month and the six-year-old is fancied to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. The progressive Intoxicata should give another good account of herself and the three-year-old isn't taken lightly. Sir Titan has posted a string of creditable efforts in defeat in recent months and the veteran is unlikely to be far away either.

INTOXICATA has progressed well since being switched to handicaps and can add another win to her tally. Sir Titan is getting on, but he's been knocking on the door of late and can give another good account. Diamondsinthesand has proven consistent for his current yard and completes the shortlist.

The race needs to go his way but DIAMONDSINTHESAND impressed when winning his first C&D attempt and should have good claims again.

3	3 (3) (5/4 +17%) Karaktere D'Enfer	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(3) Karaktere D'Enfer 5/4, Close second of 11 to a useful sort in a newcomers races at Fontainebleau in March. Not beaten far when last of 3 on Doncaster British debut last month and he sets the standard here. Tongue tied first time. His French effort reads well and he's likely to improve on his close third at Doncaster.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +5%) Whispering Royal	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(6) Whispering Royal 10/3, Fair Flat winner who made a sound start to his hurdle career when third of 11 at Wincanton at the end of October. Likely improver. Flat winner; no match for the front two at Wincanton but that was a respectable run.
1	1 (1) (15/8 +16%) Cannon Rock	1.875 15/8(+16%)	(1) Cannon Rock 15/8, Won a Newmarket maiden over 1¼m for Charlie Appleby in autumn 2022. Not seen since, and new connections picked him up for only 16,000 gns this autumn, but market strength would still look significant for yard which has the smart Burdett Road to compare him to. Won a weak maiden for Godolphin; has joined an up-and-coming yard for his jumps career.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -60%) Truth Will Out	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Truth Will Out 16/1, Modest form in 3 Flat starts over the summer. Worth a betting check now hurdling but Whispering Royal probably the stable first string here. Comfortably beaten in his three Flat runs from 1m2f to 1m4f.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -21%) Clenched	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Clenched 40/1, Poor maiden on the Flat so doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles. Flat maiden whose BHA mark spiralled from 71 to 47 after six heavy defeats in handicaps.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -32%) All Blues	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) All Blues 66/1, Modest form on Flat in Ireland and beaten a long way in a couple of juvenile hurdles at Ludlow this autumn. Up against it again. Fourth to Paddington on the Flat but downhill since; tailed off in her two hurdle races.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -32%) Sir Cilia	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Sir Cilia 66/1, Down the field in varied events on Flat. Outsider on hurdle debut. Of little account on the Flat, albeit on the evidence of just four starts (1m-1m4f).
7	7 (7) (66/1 -32%) Wilpena Pound	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Wilpena Pound 66/1, Little form on the Flat. Would be a shock winner on hurdle debut. 12-race Flat with a basement handicap mark and it's impossible to make any case.

LTO Selection:

A winner at Newmarket on his last start on the level for Charlie Appleby in October 2022, CANNON ROCK looks a shrewd recruit to the James Owen stable and this appears a winnable contest on his hurdles bow. The son of Fastnet Rock can get the better of French recruit Karaktere D'enfer, who performed with credit on his UK debut when not beaten far at Doncaster, while Whispering Royal is open to improvement as well.

Although French-recruit KARAKTERE D'ENFER was last of 3 on his British debut he wasn't beaten far and it was probably a decent race so he's the one to beat. Alan King's Whispering Royal made a sound start to his hurdle career when third at Wincanton and can give the selection most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding James Owen's Cannon Rock.

This has the look of a decidedly weak maiden and it's probably at the mercy of KARAKTERE D'ENFER after two pleasing efforts.

1	1 (1) (6/5 +13%) Harmonya Maker	1.2 6/5(+13%)	(1) Harmonya Maker 6/5, Useful hurdler who made a promising start over fences when easily winning 7-runner novice chase (5/2) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Player. Posted career-best RPR when impressing on recent chase debut; respected..
5	5 (5) (6/4 -25%) Zenta	1.5 6/4(-25%)	(5) Zenta 6/4, Ex-French filly who made it 3-4 over hurdles last term in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree (17f) in April. Also an excellent third in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Most interesting chasing newcomer. High-class 4yo hurdler last season and exciting recruit to chasing ranks; Grade 1-entered.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -13%) Heia	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Heia 18/1, Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 11/4, creditable second of 5 in minor event chase at Clonmel (18.3f, heavy) 45 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Considered. Tramore winner hasn't progressed and looks to have it to do here.
4	4 (4) (33/1 +18%) Silent Approach	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) Silent Approach 33/1, Fair hurdler who comfortably went in at the first time of asking over fences in 12-runner novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 29 days ago. This is much tougher but she's open to improvement. Took really well to fences at Gowran; big step up in grade here but can't be ruled out.

LTO Selection:

HARMONYA MAKER likes to force the pace and easily won twice over hurdles at Fairyhouse last season. The daughter of Saddler Maker may prove even better over fences as she jumped well and handled heavy ground when beating Brandy Love by 11 lengths at Gowran last month. Willie Mullins mounts a strong challenge with three useful mares including Hauturiere who also won twice over hurdles last term including a Listed race at Punchestown. She's been given a summer break since winning easily on her chase debut at Killarney in May. Zenta showed smart form in juvenile hurdles last season winning a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse and, after filling third spot behind stablemate Lossiemouth in the Triumph Hurdle, landed a Grade 1 at Aintree.

Willie Mullins has an excellent record in this Grade 2 event and his smart hurdler ZENTA is fancied to start her life over fences in style. Harmonya Maker impressed when going in at the first time of asking in a Gowran novice chase last month and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all her own way though. Another Mullins inmate Hauturiere appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Harmonya Maker looked smart at Gowran but may have to yield to chasing debutante ZENTA here

9	9 (9) (7/1 -180%) Frightening	7 7/1(-180%)	(9) Frightening 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Shaped well when third on 1m Nottingham debut in October. Disappointed when only fifth of 13 on Kempton's AW since but this well-bred filly can probably be given another chance. Good third at Nottingham and had tough task behind an impressive winner latest; key player.

Has disappointingly failed to build on it in his 3 outings since but claims if first-time blinkers spark him back to life. Lading stable also runs Frightening. No progress in his four runs and has something to prove from tough draw back in a maiden.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -20%) Bluestone	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) Bluestone 9/1, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Blue Flame. Dam, French 6f-1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Fitzgerald. Newcomer who would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied. Half-brother to a 7f AW winner; yard is in good form and he needs a close look on debut.

4	4 (4) (150/1 -900%) Fortydegree	150 150/1(-900%)	(4) Fortydegree 150/1, Has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts. First-time cheekpieces need to spark major improvement. Failed to beat a rival in two runs this autumn and can only be watched; cheekpieces added.
7	7 (7) (200/1 -300%) Northgate	200 200/1(-300%)	(7) Northgate 200/1, Twice-raced colt. Stepped up a little on debut when seventh of 12 at Newcastle (7f) 26 days ago but the form is only modest. Well-held seventh at massive prices in his two runs this autumn; best watched.
8	8 (8) (250/1 -150%) Angel Of Gold	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Angel Of Gold 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, ninth of 10 in novice at this course (6f) 17 days ago. Outsider. Tailed off in two novice events on Tapeta this autumn and easy to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

FIRST ENCORE finished a respectable third off a mark of 78 on his handicap bow at Kempton last month and he looks the one to beat on this switch to maiden company. Jackson Street offered a lot more to work with when posting a fifth-placed finish at Newcastle in last month. Karl Burke's colt may give the selection most to think about if finding any further improvement, while Allegorical has the most experience and looks next best.

FRIGHTENING was a bit of a let down at Kempton but her debut promise is still fresh in the memory and she's taken to bounce straight back. First Encore was much improved when a close third in a nursery last time and is second choice ahead of Karl Burke's Jackson Street.

The vote goes goes to FRIGHTENING, who just about sets the standard on her debut third at Nottingham and had a tough task last time.

1	1 (1) (5/2 -33%) Edwardstone	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(1) Edwardstone 5/2, Likeable sort who won the Arkle at the 2022 Festival and showed top-class form when a commanding winner of the Tingle Creek on last season's reappearance. Beaten by Jonbon in Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month but longer trip here should suit and he sets the standard. Engaged Sandown 3.00 Saturday. Excellent second in yesterday's Tingle Creek; has made his name over 2m.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -14%) Al Dancer	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Al Dancer 8/1, Made a successful return in the Grand Sefton at Aintree last season and better than ever when making another winner reappearance in 5-runner event at Chepstow in October. Made up plenty of late ground when third to Jetoile in the Old Roan and he shouldn't be ruled out. Rallied for third in the Old Roan and now better off at the weights with Jetoile.
6	6 (6) (11/4 +31%) First Flow	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(6) First Flow 11/4, Won this race in 2021 and is still capable of high-class form despite his advancing years, as evidenced by his fine second in an Ascot handicap (16.8f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Sound claims in receipt of weight from most of his rivals. Won this 2021, third 2022; lots to like about Ascot return over trip now short of his best.

Is going the right way but will need his biggest step forward yet to score here. Career best in winning the Old Roan; not weighted to confirm placings with Al Dancer.
2	2 (2) (13/8 +35%) Janidil	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(2) Janidil 13/8, High-class chaser landed the Red Mills Chase at Gowran last season and looked the likely winner when taking a late fall in his attempt to win back-to-back Fairyhouse Chases later in the year. Shaped as if better for the run behind Allaho at Clonmel on return and he's a leading player. Ran as well as could be expected on return; major form claims if cutting out the mistakes.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of Irish raider JANIDIL, who should come on plenty for his recent return in the Clonmel Oil Chase behind stablemate Allaho. The nine-year-old has performed well at the top level in recent years and he would have landed a similar Grade 2 at Fairyhouse in April but for falling at the last. Compensation could await now and he is preferred to First Flow, who won this contest in 2021 and returned with a fine effort at Ascot last month. Edwardstone ran well when chasing home Jonbon in the Tinge Creek on Saturday and he would be a big player if turned out again quickly here.

EDWARDSTONE made a satisfactory return behind Jonbon at Cheltenham last month, all the while whilst looking as if his future may lie over this kind of intermediate trip, so he gets the nod if taking up his engagement here rather than in the Tingle Creek. Irish-raider Janidil had a tough task against Allaho last time but can score here if Edwardstone goes to Sandown, whilst the veteran First Flow wasn't far from his best on return at Ascot and shouldn't be discounted in a race he won 2 years ago.

This trip on this track looks the perfect combination for Irish raider JANIDIL who can mix it with the very best when on his game.

Yard has farmed this event in recent years so the Arkle winner looks very hard to beat on his seasonal return. Three Grade 1 wins as an unbeaten novice chaser, head and shoulders above these rivals.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +7%) Fil Dor	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Fil Dor 7/1, Very smart chaser who resumed with a good 1¾ lengths second of 5 to Dinoblue in Poplar Square Chase at Naas (16f, soft, 5/1) 28 days ago, sticking to task. Solid place prospects. Not the most consistent last season, ran well against Mullins-trained Dinoblue at Naas.
6	6 (6) (9/1 -38%) Maskada	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Maskada 9/1, Smart winning chaser who shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when 17¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Allegorie De Vassy in listed chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 31 days ago. Yard in good form so no surprise to see him take a big step forward here. Beat El Fabiolo's stablemate Dinoblue in the Grand Annual Chase, runner-up claims.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +24%) Jungle Boogie	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Jungle Boogie 25/1, Unbeaten in three runs, and he scored impressively on his chasing bow in 21f Fairyhouse maiden in January. Lacks experience, but is an exciting prospect. Unbeaten in three starts for Willie Mullins, huge task against background of long absence.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -52%) Vanillier	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Vanillier 50/1, Grade 1 3m hurdles winner. Has made into a smart chaser too and he signed off last term with a fine second of 39 in Grand National at Aintree. Returns from seven months off back over 2m so others appeal more on this occasion. Last season's Grand National runner-up, begins the new campaign over an inadequate trip.
2	2 (2) (125/1 -150%) Rebel Gold	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Rebel Gold 125/1, Smart chaser. Should strip fitter for his reappearance thirteenth over hurdles at Naas (19.9f, soft, 22/1) 28 days ago but this is a very difficutl ask. Enjoyed a fine campaign last season but would need a career-best to be placed here.

LTO Selection:

EL FABIOLO is already a short price for the Champion Chase in March and it would be a major shock if he couldn't make a winning return here. The Spanish Moon gelding swept all before him in a faultless novice campaign last season, with the most impressive performance coming at Cheltenham where he ran out a convincing winner over Jonbon. With stablemate Energumene out for the season this division looks at his mercy. Even giving weight away to his rivals he still has a fair bit in hand. Vanillier is next best on official ratings but needs a good bit further than this to be seen at his best. Fil Dor may be the one to chase him home. He has already posted a decent effort this season, when second to Dinoblue in Naas.

EL FABIOLO carried all before him over fences last season and the Arkle hero is confidently expected to go 5-5 since sent chasing and maintain Willie Mullins' stranglehold on this Grade 1 event. Henry de Bromhead's unexposed and still unbeaten Jungle Boogie could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the much more experienced duo of Fil Dor and Maskada.

Willie Mullins has a superb record in this event. All looks straightforward for EL FABIOLO, a three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (5/1 +58%) Doctor Mozart	5 5/1(+58%)	(8) Doctor Mozart 5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 16/1) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Taken time to function for this yard but on a good mark now and the return to 5f will suit.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +38%) He's An Angel	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) He's An Angel 5/1, Proved to be a disappointment when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 5/2) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Knocking on the door for previous yard in October; below best latest; sold 1,500gns since.
3	3 (3) (6/1 -9%) Suanni	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Suanni 6/1, C&D winner. 15/2, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Darlo Pride in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 4 days ago, keeping on until no extra close home. No real match for Darlo Pride at Lingfield but tables could be turned back on this track.
1	1 (1) (6/4 +25%) Darlo Pride	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(1) Darlo Pride 6/4, Made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 7/2) 4 days ago, well on top finish. Makes tapeta debut. Obvious claims in his current mood under a penalty. Improved with each AW start since August; first Tapeta start but has more to come.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -54%) Nellie French	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Nellie French 10/1, C&D winner. 15/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 26 days ago, every chance 1f out. In the mix again. Suited by 5f on this surface; in good form but mostly races on the other Tapeta tracks now.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -67%) Gustav Graves	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(6) Gustav Graves 15/2, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, headed final 50 yds. Expected to be bang there. AW win over 6f on this track; gone down narrowly in 2 of last 3 C&D starts; bang there.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -79%) Lil Wade	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Lil Wade 25/1, 50/1, showed much improved form after 5 months off when third of 8 in minor event at this C&D 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Signs of ability on third start, over C&D; open to improvement on handicap debut.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -100%) Another Angel	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Another Angel 28/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 19 runs this year. Again ran poorly when seventh of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Three sprint wins in early 2023; just above latest winning mark but below best since break.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -52%) Rockley Point	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Rockley Point 50/1, 80/1, offered little after 6 months off when last of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 18 days ago. Had a close call over C&D in April but finished last of 12 on recent return from a break.
11	11 (11) (80/1 -400%) Doc Sportello	80 80/1(-400%)	(11) Doc Sportello 80/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 44 days ago, never nearer. Two C&D wins; never involved since absence but not disgraced latest and well treated now.
10	10 (10) (200/1 -1329%) Silveeanna	200 200/1(-1329%)	(10) Silveeanna 200/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Denis Quinn when seventh of 8 in minor event at this C&D 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut and would be of some interest should market support arrive. Has beaten just one rival in three qualifying runs; more chance now handicapping.

LTO Selection:

DARLO PRIDE has hit new heights since being fitted with a visor, as evidenced by his recent victories at Chelmsford and Lingfield. A 6lb penalty for last week's success may not be enough to prevent the gelded son of Outstrip from completing a hat-trick. Suanni finished just under two lengths behind the selection on Wednesday and he is feared most racing off the same mark, shortly followed by the in-form Gustav Graves.

A few in with a squeak but DARLO PRIDE is thriving on racing at present so Anthony Carson's 3-y-o can make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts. Gustav Graves hasn't managed to get his head in front this year, but he went mightily close over C&D last time so is put forward as the main threat, with Nellie French and Suanni another couple fancied to be in the shake-up.

There is a query about the surface but DARLO PRIDE is flying high and he had something in reserve when winning on Wednesday.

14:25 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (4/1 +20%) Mr Mackay	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Mr Mackay 4/1, In-the-frame on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers and confirmed reappearance/hurdle debut promise when landing 6-runner Huntingdon maiden (19.5f). Improved on handicap bow when fourth of 17 at Cheltenham last month and needs considering. Free-going sort and it's easy to think that 2m at Huntingdon will suit him well.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +13%) Matchless	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Matchless 7/2, Improved when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft, 11/2) last month and only just denied at Doncaster last week. Should go well again. Back hurdling in good form; won on soft (more to prove on heavy); one to take seriously.
1	1 (1) (9/1 +10%) Teddy Blue	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Teddy Blue 9/1, Free-goer who landed a 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle in April and recorded a career best when 1¼ lengths second of 17 in the Swinton a month later. Disappointed both starts after 6 months off, however. Disappointing at Ascot on latest outing, probably not accounted for by the soft ground.
7	7 (7) (9/4 +32%) Javert Allen	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(7) Javert Allen 9/4, Made a successful debut at Bangor over a year ago and built on that when second to a useful type at Ludlow in January. Shaped well when second on handicap bow there on return and very much one to be interested in. 5lb rise may underestimate him and he's a very lightly raced 4yo who brings potential.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -38%) Swaffham Bulbeck	11 11/1(-38%)	(3) Swaffham Bulbeck 11/1, Ended last season with a small-field win at Fakenham. Returned to hurdles to land a Southwell handicap in September and even better form when second of 12 at Chepstow. Found Greatwood too competitive at Cheltenham since. Stiff task last time but even this race may demand his best form for over two years.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +19%) Nayati	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(2) Nayati 13/2, Did well back from an extended layoff last term, winning 3 times (latest off 2 lb higher at Musselburgh on New Year's Day). Given a considerate reappearance here (lost a shoe) last month and better expected now. With a satisfactory reappearance here last month under his belt, he's one to consider.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +36%) Baron De Midleton	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Baron De Midleton 16/1, Three small-field chase wins in blinkers last season. Shaped as if better for his recent return over hurdles at Carlisle. First preference 13.05 Kelso. Well handicapped judged on last term's best efforts as chaser; first preference at Kelso.

LTO Selection:

Slight preference is for the unexposed JAVERT ALLEN, who ran with plenty of credit when second on his handicap debut at Ludlow in October and he has scope for enough improvement to defy a 5lb rise for that effort today. A half-brother to the capable Gladiateur Allen, the four-year-old should be fine in these conditions and he is preferred to the consistent Matchless, who has not been outside the first three in his last five hurdle starts. Course winner Mr Mackay and Swinton Hurdle runner-up Teddy Blue can also have a say in proceedings.

JAVERT ALLEN shaped very well when runner-up to a subsequent winner on handicap bow at Ludlow and this lightly-raced 4-y-o can go one better. This does look competitive however, with Arqoob, Mr Mackay and Matchless all arriving in top form.

A small but strong field. Javert Allen is highly respected but 2m on this track could prove just the ticket for MR MACKAY.

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (3/1 +25%) Ricky Bobby	3 3/1(+25%)	(7) Ricky Bobby 3/1, Course winner. Second of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Well treated on old form and worth a chance to go one better. Backed up a good Flat run at the Curragh with second over hurdles at Thurles, solid claims.
11	11 (11) (5/2 +0%) McGrath From Clune	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(11) McGrath From Clune 5/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Improved to win 14-runner handicap chase at Thurles (18.4f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago, readily. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has good chance on form. Promoted to 102 over fences after easy handicap chase win at Thurles, big chance off 96.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +36%) The Banger Doyle	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(3) The Banger Doyle 9/4, Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Let down by his jumping when favourite at Thurles, useful Flat/chase form prior to that.
8	8 (8) (17/2 +6%) Skinnider	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(8) Skinnider 17/2, Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in April. Good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 7 months. Claims if she's tuned up. Beat McGrath From Clune over C&D in April, absent since third over 2m4f here in May.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -64%) Secret Rock	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Secret Rock 18/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Below form eighth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 6/1) 67 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Useful form on the Flat since maiden hurdle win at Wexford in March, could be well treated.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -64%) Bestaline	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Bestaline 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 29 days ago. Useful juvenile hurdle form, dropped in class now after keeping good company last time.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -125%) Pride Of Place	18 18/1(-125%)	(4) Pride Of Place 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, soft, 150/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Sixth in a C&D maiden last month was a step in the right direction, merits respect.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -79%) Cregane Ned	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Cregane Ned 25/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 159 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Last five runs have been over fences, no hurdles run since third at Limerick two years ago.
10	10 (10) (28/1 +15%) Moulane West	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Moulane West 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, first run since leaving Richard Anthony Foley when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 24 days ago. 0-13 over hurdles and generally disappointing since a spell of good form early last season.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -100%) Cafe Con Leche	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Cafe Con Leche 40/1, Below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 50/1) 22 days ago. Has tended to struggle since Limerick win off 6lb lower in February, others preferred.

LTO Selection:

RICKY BOBBY returned to form back over hurdles last time and he's well treated on past exploits, so he gets the vote over last-time-out winner McGrath From Clune, who reverts to the smaller obstacles on a handy mark. The Banger Doyle is also considered.

A comfortable winner over fences at Thurles, MCGRATH FROM CLUNE can be fancied to exploit a mark 6lb below his revised chase mark

1	1 (1) (5/4 +38%) Blue Hawaii	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(1) Blue Hawaii 5/4, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (1¾m) 6 days ago. Player under a 4 lb penalty if showing up in similar form. Second Flat win of the year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; sound chance.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -9%) Duveen	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Duveen 6/1, Took his record to 0-11 when respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 3 days ago. Will need to pull out a bit more to get her head in front. 0-11; 2nd at Yarmouth in June; not so good since, although fair 5th at Southwell Thursday.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +58%) Footsy	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(4) Footsy 11/4, 5/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (2m) 66 days ago, weakening final 1f. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Each-way claims. 10,000gns buy out of Haggas yard; modest efforts for this yard and others stronger.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Corsican Caper	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Corsican Caper 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts. Eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (1¾m) 44 days ago. Others are more persuasive. 16-race maiden who hasn't shown enough to suggest he will take this.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -100%) Velvet Vulcan	16 16/1(-100%)	(2) Velvet Vulcan 16/1, Modest form. 9/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive. 0-8; below par recently but creditable C&D third off 4lb higher in October.
11	11 (11) (17/2 -209%) The Craftymaster	8.5 17/2(-209%)	(11) The Craftymaster 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Roger Teal when good second of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this course (16.5f) 50 days ago. Drop back in trip a slight worry but he looks capable of winning soon for new stable. Ex-Roger Teal; career-best run when second over 2m here last time; chance on that form.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +12%) Foshan	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Foshan 22/1, 25/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 3 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good 3rd over 1m3f on final start for previous yard; best runs recently have been at 1m.
3	3 (3) (28/1 -155%) Typical Man	28 28/1(-155%)	(3) Typical Man 28/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Not as bad his latest last of 10 at Chelmsford might suggest as he was eased after being hampered. Caught the eye at Lingfield prior to that and he's dangerously well handicapped. Fair run when a close 7th over 1m2f two runs back; needs to improve for this longer trip.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -65%) Baileys Warrior	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Baileys Warrior 33/1, Remains a maiden after 18 starts. Off 11 months, not seen to best effect when eighth of 11 in C&D handicap 64 days ago. Not the easiest to assess. 0-18; modest efforts over C&D on last two starts, the latest in October; others preferred.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -100%) Sociologist	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Sociologist 40/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (1¾m) 3 days ago, going off too hard. Creditable third over 2m here in June; well beaten since (tailed off three days ago).
12	12 (12) (200/1 -100%) Pink Walls	200 200/1(-100%)	(12) Pink Walls 200/1, No form of worth. Well beaten on all starts and not an obvious candidate.
9	9 (9) (200/1 -203%) Decoration Of War	200 200/1(-203%)	(9) Decoration Of War 200/1, Course winner back in 2018 but struggled badly over jumps lately and fared no better back on the Flat here 26 days ago. Regressive form over jumps this year; tailed off over C&D on return to Flat last month.

LTO Selection:

BLUE HAWAII has adapted well to racing on the Flat and is taken to add to last week's 1m6f success, despite having to carry a 4lb penalty. Placed twice over this trip at Newcastle in November, the drop back in distance isn't expected to cause too many issues for the selection and she is fancied to strike again while the iron is still hot. Duveen and Footsy are still relatively unexposed and both command respect, along with The Craftymaster if he handles the drop in trip.

The drop back in trip is a bit of a worry for THE CRAFTYMASTER but he has a much less-exposed profile than the rest of these and gets the nod to build on his promising stable debut second. Recent penalised course winner Blue Hawaii rates an obvious danger, while Typical Man has had excuses lately and is lurking on a dangerous mark.

In a low-grade event the in-form BLUE HAWAII is taken to follow up her win over 1m6f here last time by beating The Craftmaster.

8	8 (8) (7/2 +13%) Rula Bula	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(8) Rula Bula 7/2, From a good family and built on debut when off the mark at Warwick 18 days ago, well on top at the finish. Could do better still. Nicely on top at the finish to beat a winning pointer on soft ground at Warwick.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Looking As You Are	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Looking As You Are 10/1, Runner-up on each of her three starts in bumpers, again looking in need of further over C&D on latest. Looks out of her depth in this company. Beaten three times but by a talented mare last time and entitled to take her chance here.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +15%) One Colour	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(6) One Colour 11/2, Improved when landing Southwell and followed up with something to spare at Market Rasen 4 months ago. Has potential for better still but this looks tougher. Has won two of her three bumpers but has a lot more on her plate here.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +45%) The Secret Pearl	11 11/1(+45%)	(10) The Secret Pearl 11/1, Runner-up on her final start in Irish points and made a solid start to her Rules career when 8 lengths second of 16 at Warwick 32 days ago. Not dismissed. She was a market springer when a front-running second at Warwick.
5	5 (5) (13/8 +35%) Magical Annie	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(5) Magical Annie 13/8, Related to a bumper winner and off the mark at the first attempt in 16-runner event at Galways 42 days ago. Has left Barry Fitzgerald since and looks open to improvement. Bought for £140,000 since digging deep to win a heavy-ground bumper at Galway.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -12%) Irish Chorus	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Irish Chorus 28/1, Hasn't shown enough in two starts to date to think she can feature in this. Third at Newbury last season and capable of better than she showed on Hereford return.
9	9 (9) (40/1 +20%) Sans Choix	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Sans Choix 40/1, Has only hinted at ability in two starts to date and she's likely to struggle in a race of this nature. Twice well held at this venue and others would appear to have more going for them.

LTO Selection:

Of the four previous bumper winners, MAGICAL ANNIE looks the most intriguing on her debut for Ben Pauling, after showing tenacity to land a similar contest at Galway on her sole start in Ireland. That was a rough race but the daughter of Jukebox Jury overcame scrimmaging to get her head in front and she should come on for that introduction. A similar display of determination could suffice here, although Future Fortune and Rula Bula appear to be serious threats.

LISTENTOYOURHEART is bred for this sphere and looked a nice prospect when scoring easily at Sedgefield a couple of months ago. She may well have been saved for this, so she gets the nod over Magical Annie, who scored in Ireland first time out. One Colour is also considered.

Ben Pauling's MAGICAL ANNIE was bought for £140,000 after winning at Galway and her proven ability in the mud ticks a big box.

Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Wasn't discredited over inadequate 2m at Thurles on recent yard debut; others preferred.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +24%) Barryroe Madam	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Barryroe Madam 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle (80/1) at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Beaten a fair way in 2m4f maidens, latest over C&D; best watched now on handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (28/1 -75%) Knocknaconnery	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Knocknaconnery 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft, 250/1) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Hasn't impressed in jumping of late, hard to see him making immediate impact in handicaps.
19	19 (19) (33/1 -175%) Aodhan May	33 33/1(-175%)	(19) Aodhan May 33/1, 25/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Better chaser but has to be respected here off 9lb lower hurdles mark.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Shown nothing at huge odds in maidens, hard to fancy on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

MAGIC CONQUEROR wouldn't be winning out of turn here after a couple of good runner-up efforts. The Presenting mare chased home Blossom De Mai at Tramore 12 days ago and is now 5lb better off with that rival. She didn't do much wrong the last day and has been generally consistent so deserves her turn. Blossom De Mai came wide, maybe on slightly better ground, last time and was a good winner at the line. That was a big improvement and it will be interesting to see if she can back it up. C'est Rien, who was fourth in that Tramore race, is another that has to come into calculations.

CHAMPAGNE MAHLER took a step forward despite not being subjected to a hard ride when third at Wexford last month and looks an interesting contender up in trip on handicap bow. Blossom de Mai and Magic Conqueror arrive in top form having finished 1-2 at Tramore 12 days ago and they head the dangers.

Last month's Tramore winner BLOSSOM DE MAI can confirm that form with Magic Conqueror on 4lb worse terms

5	5 (5) (5/4 +23%) Get Set Jet	1.25 5/4(+23%)	(5) Get Set Jet 5/4, 3/1, first run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when close second of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 5 days ago, the line coming just too soon for his strong finish. Can go one better now with the longer trip to suit. Tongue tie added. Ran on for second here (8.5f) latest; return to further could be positive; contender..
10	10 (10) (11/1 -83%) Annalee Lass	11 11/1(-83%)	(10) Annalee Lass 11/1, 9/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Creditable third over 1m there on her 2 runs prior to that. Claims if stamina holds up in trip. Below par latest but has each-way claims if bouncing back on her first try over this trip..
6	6 (6) (15/2 +38%) Come To Pass	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(6) Come To Pass 15/2, Won on AW Flat at Lingfield last December but has drawn a blank since. 22/1, fourth of 8 in novice at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) on hurdle debut 22 days ago. Also engaged 12.25 Huntingdon. Competitive mark but has been unable to take advantage of similar opportunities of late..
1	1 (1) (17/2 -143%) Mr Trick	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(1) Mr Trick 17/2, Course winner. Good second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 5 days ago, just failing. Should go well again. Went close at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; if he can back that up he's a player..

Significantly up in trip. Up in trip this time and needs to bounce back to his October form from an unchanged mark..
12	12 (12) (33/1 -267%) Reformed Character	33 33/1(-267%)	(12) Reformed Character 33/1, In good form in low-grade handicaps for Patrick Leech when last seen in spring 2022. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations on return for new trainer after 19 months on sidelines. Off since May 2022; would be interesting if ready first time on debut for this trainer..

11	11 (11) (50/1 -100%) He's Our Star	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) He's Our Star 50/1, Course winner. Latest win at Brighton in August. Ended his turf campaign on a low note and bounce back needed returned to AW. Placed over C&D previously but needs to be much better than on his last three starts..
9	9 (9) (66/1 -100%) Postergal	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Postergal 66/1, Modest maiden. Seventh on all 3 turf handicap starts over the summer. Will need an improved effort back from 4 months off. Placed over 1m2f on turf; slipping to a workable mark but has it to do at present..

LTO Selection:

MR TRICK was just denied in a driving finish at Lingfield on Tuesday and, with the quick turnaround suggesting he is thriving on being kept busy, he looks worth siding with off the same mark here. Still unexposed over the trip, the selection has proven form on the all-weather and ticks too many boxes to ignore, despite carrying top-weight. Get Set Jet rates as the biggest danger and is a possible improver with a tongue-tie applied. Neptune Legend and Reformed Character complete the shortlist.

GET SET JET made a promising start for the Fergal O'Brien stable here earlier in the week and holds good claims with the return to a slightly longer trip in his favour. Mr Trick is feared most on the back of Tuesday's Lingfield near miss. Annalee Lass may prove best of the remainder.

This could be a good opportunity for GET SET JET to break his duck, after a good first effort for Fergal O'Brien.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (3/1 -33%) Rockinastorm	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) Rockinastorm 3/1, Bumper winner in 2021 but just fair form at best over hurdles and was was most fortunate to make a winning chase bow at Warwick on return last month. Not an obvious one to follow up. Handed the win on chase debut (3m, soft); needs to step up markedly upon that performance.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -14%) Special Acceptance	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Special Acceptance 4/1, Plummeted down the weights and posted best effort for some time when second at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) in April. Backed that up when filling same spot over C&D on return and must enter calculations. 2nd on last two starts (C&D latest) and thrown in on his soft-ground form two winters back.
4	4 (4) (5/1 -25%) Jacks Touch	5 5/1(-25%)	(4) Jacks Touch 5/1, Confirmed the promise of her chasing debut when landing mares' novices' handicap at Leicester and similar form when third at Fakenham. Respected. This longer trip appeals given the way she drew clear at Leicester (2m6f) two runs back.
1	1 (1) (5/2 -11%) Motion In Limine	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Motion In Limine 5/2, Fair hurdler. Solid start to his chase career when second at Cartmel and backed that up at the second attempt at Sedgefield last month, collared dying strides. Player. Two 2nds (on soft ground) and a pulled up in his three runs over fences; should go well.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +44%) Anglers Crag	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(3) Anglers Crag 9/2, Point winner who made a successful start for David Pipe in Leicester novice hurdle in February 2022. Hasn't kicked on from that since and added to a patchy record at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 8 months ago. Has since moved yards (had wind op). Has had wind op (his second) and left David Pipe; too hit and miss; also declared at Kelso.

LTO Selection:

Rockinastorm was handed the race by a faller at the last on his chasing debut at Warwick last month, hence his unchanged mark coming into this contest. He is respected nonetheless and is likely to be on the premises. However, MOTION IN LIMINE has a touch more experience in this discipline and could be hard to repel if he builds on his half-length second at Sedgefield last time out. Jacks Touch also rates as shortlist material on just his fourth start over fences.

MOTION IN LIMINE was only just denied at Sedgefield last month and may still have more to offer in this sphere after just 3 starts. Special Acceptance is on a workable mark nowadays and is feared most.

Jacks Touch goes up in trip but preference is nevertheless for SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE who has been staging something of a revival.

10	10 (10) (7/2 +22%) Finn Russell	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(10) Finn Russell 7/2, On a hat-trick after wins over C&D and at Lingfield (1m) in recent weeks. Another bold bid likely. Won over C&D last month and followed up at Lingfield, for which he escapes a penalty.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -45%) Goldsmith	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Goldsmith 8/1, Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 33 days ago. Bit frustrating lately but he is more than capable of winning from this mark. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular hood. In good form on Tapeta and Polytrack of late and he can be in the mix.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -82%) Prince Ali	10 10/1(-82%)	(8) Prince Ali 10/1, C&D winner in September. Remained in form since, second of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 6 days ago, running on. Should make his presence felt again. Course regular has been in fine form here in second half of this year; on the shortlist.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -54%) Flatley	10 10/1(-54%)	(3) Flatley 10/1, C&D winner last month. Badly hampered when eighth of 10 back here 23 days ago so that effort can be ignored. Enters calculations. Won over C&D last month and suffered trouble in running over C&D next time; player.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +14%) Cosmos Raj	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Cosmos Raj 12/1, Never a threat when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 23 days ago and remains 3 lb above the mark he defied at Ripon in July. Hasn't run badly on Polytrack/Tapeta the last twice but needs more for first AW win.
5	5 (5) (15/2 -7%) Measured Moments	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(5) Measured Moments 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Leicester in July. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (1¼m) 15 days ago. Solid campaigner who arrives in good form and has an eyecatching record here.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +45%) Locked N' Loaded	18 18/1(+45%)	(9) Locked N' Loaded 18/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 9 in handicap over C&D 45 days ago. Something to find on form. Went close at Southwell in March but failed to threaten here in October after a break.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -100%) Green Power	20 20/1(-100%)	(7) Green Power 20/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. Creditable third of 8 in handicap over this C&D 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Considered. Some good runs since back from absence and third over C&D last time; could be thereabouts.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -10%) Kaaranah	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Kaaranah 22/1, Back to winning ways at Kempton (1m) in September but not in the same form when ninth of 11 at Southwell (1m) 2 months later. Bounced back needed. Won at Kempton in September but good runs scarce this year and down the field last time.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -203%) Ciara Storm	100 100/1(-203%)	(11) Ciara Storm 100/1, Modest maiden. Fared better than previously in handicaps when fifth of 12 over C&D in first-time blinkers 5 days ago. More needed again. Encouraging fifth over C&D on Tuesday but needs another step forward today.

LTO Selection:

FINN RUSSELL is in the form of his life at present having won his last two starts, including one over this C&D, and he can bring up the hat-trick despite carrying a 6lb penalty for his latest success. Eagle Day arrives on the back of a comfortable victory over this track and trip last month and a 5lb rise may not prevent another bold bid today. Others to note include Flatley, Goldsmith and Measured Moments.

Quite a well-contested race for the grade but EAGLE DAY does still stand out as his latest C&D win appeals as good form. Fellow 3-y-o Finn Russell may give him most to do ahead of the reliable Prince Ali.

A hot race for the grade. EAGLE DAY is a 3yo on the up and earns the vote ahead of the rejuvenated Finn Russell.

7	7 (7) (4/1 +60%) Catesby	4 4/1(+60%)	(7) Catesby 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in October before following that with good placed effort here. 4/1, only eighth of 12 in handicap back at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, so needs to bounce back. Below par last time but in good form previously (including over C&D) and not written off.

Drawn wider than ideal but should give another good account if continuing in same form for new yard. 0-9 but close third at Newcastle last time and could be in the mix on stable debut.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -300%) Wedgewood	18 18/1(-300%)	(1) Wedgewood 18/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/2, step back in right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm).

6	6 (6) (40/1 +60%) Marinakis	40 40/1(+60%)	(6) Marinakis 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 100/1) 25 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 3yo who is very lightly raced but has struggled in handicaps on his two runs this year.
3	3 (3) (80/1 -220%) Boom Boom Pow	80 80/1(-220%)	(3) Boom Boom Pow 80/1, Winner at Kempton in June. First run since leaving Seamus Durack when last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 28/1) 36 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Hard to fancy. Won at Kempton in June but down the field the next twice and needs to get back on track.
10	10 (10) (200/1 -150%) Heartlander	200 200/1(-150%)	(10) Heartlander 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Some promise on second of 2 starts for George Boughey but no show as of yet for this yard. Back up in trip. Lightly raced 3yo who has been well beaten in her two handicaps; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

An eye-catcher when not getting a clear run and running on late for third on his first start for new connections at Lingfield last month, BEN DIKDUK must hold every chance of breaking the maiden at the 11th time of asking. The son of New Approach is preferred to the consistent Katar and Aclaim To Fame, who has switched yards again since a strong placed effort at Newcastle in October.

Not a deep contest even for the lowly level, with WEE FAT MAC fancied to build on an eye-catching return to all-weather when a fast-finishing fourth here last month. Ben Dikduk and Aclaim To Fame are also leading players despite high draws, whilst long-standing maiden Katar has been largely running well in defeat of late and is another that shouldn't be dismissed.

Having been a close third in a warm race at Lingfield last month, the 3yo BEN DIKDUK (nap) is taken to get off the mark.

10	10 (10) (80/1 -220%) Rebel Redemption	80 80/1(-220%)	(10) Rebel Redemption 80/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 22/1) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2022. Has dropped a long way in the weights but he needs a major revival back in trip.

LTO Selection:

SHABAABY bounced back to form with a solid success over C&D last time out and a 4lb rise may be not be enough to stop him going again, having run off much higher marks in the past. Port Noir returns from a break having won at Chepstow when last seen in June, while Churchill Bay has finished a neck second over this C&D on his last two starts and must be considered. Astrophysics and Revolucion are also entitled to be thereabouts.

WATER OF LEITH didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Newcastle last time and now figures on a lenient mark so this C&D scorer gets the vote. Shabaaby is feared most on the back of his own recent C&D success, although a solid case can also be made for Astrophysics, My Boy Jack and Churchill Bay in a very open contest.

An open race in which the vote goes to WATER OF LEITH, who is on a dangerous mark and didn't get any luck at Newcastle last time.
