1st (1)  (7/1 +22%)Belaya River |
7/1(+22%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Belaya River 7/1, The yard won this race last year and he had every chance when running to form, finishing fourth beaten 11l in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m and has a chance in a modest contest. Has shown enough on his two hurdle starts to suggest he could be involved today. |
|
2nd (8)  (13/2 -30%)Whatsgoingonmarvin |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Whatsgoingonmarvin 13/2, Made mistakes and found little when well beaten on his modest debut in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton behind classy rival. A flat winner, but his jumping needs to improve significantly over hurdles. Progressive handicapper on the Flat but very disappointing on his hurdle/stable debut. |
|
3rd (5)  (11/2 +8%)Shamsat |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shamsat 11/2, Ran to form when finishing 1/2l third in a handicap at Toulouse on his most recent run. 11f on Flat in France on easy ground. Returns from a long absence but could get involved on hurdle debut. French Flat winner; new trainer does well with recruits from other stables; contender. |
|
4th (2)  (100/1 -203%)Big Love |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Big Love 100/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Wetherby last time and failed to show much. May need more time to find his feet over hurdles based on what has been seen so far. No impact when fourth on first two starts and pulled up at 80-1 at Wetherby last Thursday. |
|
5th (3)  (33/1 -65%)Glenridding |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glenridding 33/1, Outpaced but improved from his debut when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Hood is applied for the first time and he should come on for that run, though he looks more one for handicaps. Fifth at Musselburgh on second hurdle start and has each-way chance in a first-time hood. |
|
6th (10)  (80/1 -186%)Prettylady |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Prettylady 80/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in a 3yo race at Longchamp last time. Showed modest form on Flat in France and probably best watched on hurdle debut. Some ability on the Flat in France but 0-6 in that code; may be vulnerable on hurdle debut. |
|
7th (7)  (4/6 +8%)Square D'alboni |
4/6(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Square D'alboni 4/6, Bit green under pressure but made a very promising debut when finishing 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m, useful on the Flat where he won at Listed level in France and there should be more to come for a top yard. Third at Newbury on hurdle debut; top yard does very well at this course; leading claims. |
|
8th (6)  (150/1 -50%)Some Boy Me |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Some Boy Me 150/1, Pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby last time. Trained by a leading course handler and stays 11f on the Flat, but has modest flat form and has yet to convince with his stamina over hurdles. Big odds when tailed off/pulled up last month on his first two hurdle starts. |
|
9th (4)  (16/1 -78%)Hellion |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hellion 16/1, Green and perhaps a touch unwilling under pressure when 1/4l third in a novice at Bath on his most recent run. Returning from a break and needs to improve on that effort. Displayed ability on both Flat starts and not ruled out on hurdle/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SQUARE D'ALBONI shaped with a fair amount of promise on his hurdling debut when third to Fire Warning at Newbury and that experience will only benefit him now competing against his own age group. Hellion ran particularly well on his second start on the Flat at Bath in September and has since joined Donald McCain. He is likely to be competitive along with Belaya River.
This could go to French Flat winner SHAMSAT, whose new trainer James Owen does very well with recruits from other yards.

1st (5)  (5/4 +33%)Always A Reason |
5/4(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Always A Reason 5/4, Travelled well, idled and did it cosily, improving on chase debut in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 2 1/2m and progressive over fences. Travelled well to win on chase debut at Newcastle and a 5lb rise may not stop him today. |
|
2nd (3)  (2/1 +60%)Ailt An Chorrain |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ailt An Chorrain 2/1, Let down by jumping when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; blinkers worn for the first time; suited by 2 1/2m and effective on soft and good, but yet to fire over fences. Two-time novice hurdle winner but first-time blinkers need to prompt a major turnaround. |
|
3rd (4)  (4/1 -33%)Zero Tolerance |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zero Tolerance 4/1, Returned to form back from a break, suited by positive handling when beaten a length off this mark here last time; effective at 2 1/2–3m; generally consistent and should come on for that latest effort. Close third over 1m7f here last month and the step back up in trip may well be a positive. |
|
|PU| (2)  (11/1 -230%)Starman |
11/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Starman 11/1, Rallied gamely and returned to form back down in trip on stable debut when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; tongue-tie worn for the first time; effective at 2m and fairly treated on Irish form if building on that run. Back on track with close second here four weeks ago; in the mix if backing that up. |
|
|PU| (1)  (18/1 -80%)Dalyotin |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dalyotin 18/1, Badly hampered by a faller and needed the run when fourth, beaten 39l, in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; well treated on old form but needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Shaped as though he may have needed the run last time and he's not ruled out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ALWAYS A REASON improved over hurdles, winning at Southwell and finishing a close second at Carlisle, before making a successful switch to the larger obstacles at Newcastle. Despite going up 5lb, Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes plenty of appeal in his bid to back up that performance. Zero Tolerance returned with a solid effort here over shorter and is capable of a decent showing. Starman appears best of the remainder.
The lightly raced 7yo ALWAYS A REASON travelled well to win on his recent chase debut at Newcastle and can make it 2-2 over fences.

1st (5)  (18/5 +45%)Devon Skies |
18/5(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Devon Skies 18/5, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Market Rasen on her penultimate start. Made too much use of and set it up for closers before being pulled up in a handicap hurdle last time, with her current mark demanding more. Pulled up on Boxing Day when bidding for four-timer but it's possible it was just a blip. |
|
2nd (6)  (4/1 -45%)Abbey Scope |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Abbey Scope 4/1, Outpaced but ran to form when looking in need of a stiffer test, finishing well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ayr last time. A bumper winner who needs to jump better, but a step up in trip should suit on handicap debut. Bumper winner who could prove to be better than his opening mark. |
|
3rd (4)  (9/2 +0%)Avalon Beach |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Avalon Beach 9/2, Keen early but travelled well when returning to form back down in class and trip, beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Effective at 2m to 2m4f and capable off this mark. Runner-up over 2m at Wetherby on Boxing Day but faded over 2m4f at Sedgefield previously. |
|
4th (2)  (7/2 +42%)Byron Hill |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Byron Hill 7/2, Ran to current form when a 6l third in a handicap hurdle here on his most recent start. Effective at 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface and dropping in the weights, but needs to build on that effort. Returned to form when 3rd here on New Year's Day; in the mix if seeing out the longer trip. |
|
5th (8)  (4/1 -14%)Wise Move |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Wise Move 4/1, Rallied gamely and ran to form when beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Effective at 2m4f to 3m and may do better when stepped back up in trip but threat if getting stiff test. Went close at Wetherby on Boxing Day and a win could be imminent for this front-runner. |
|
6th (1)  (14/1 +22%)Achnamara |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Achnamara 14/1, Every chance when running to current form, finishing fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at around 2 1/2m, although recent Flat form has been below par. Won off this mark over C&D last February and step back in right direction on AW recently. |
|
|F| (7)  (18/1 -50%)Express Run |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Express Run 18/1, Needed the run when reportedly making a noise in running before finishing well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Returning from a break, effective at 2 1/2m to 3m, but his form has been in and out. Pops up with the odd good run but tailed off when last seen; further wind surgery since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
On her last seven starts, Devon Skies has either won or been pulled up and she needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Sedgefield. Avalon Beach landed a maiden hurdle at the same venue in November and ran with credit when runner-up at Wetherby last time. The vote, though, goes to ABBEY SCOPE. Nicky Richards tends to be very patient with his horses and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see this six-year-old step forward considerably on his handicap debut.
Having gone close at Wetherby on Boxing Day, WISE MOVE can go one better today and get off the mark under rules.

1st (2)  (4/7 -14%)Stick With Me Sam |
4/7(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stick With Me Sam 4/7, Improved again when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l at Warwick last time off a 5lb lower mark. Effective at 2m and acts with cut. Progressing now he has had his head in front. He's won his last two starts; clearly thriving and he may well complete the hat-trick. |
|
2nd (1)  (16/1 +20%)Jiair Madrik |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jiair Madrik 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective over 2m2f to 2m4f and acts on heavy and soft ground. Has struggled since moving from France, remains without headgear and may need more time. He's struggled so far in Britain but is back in a tongue-tie, which he wore for French win. |
|
3rd (4)  (11/4 +31%)Forcetoreckonwith |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Forcetoreckonwith 11/4, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Effective over 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft ground. Back in form but may ideally want further than 2m. Runner-up at Sedgefield on second chase start; could bounce back from lesser latest run. |
|
4th (3)  (11/1 +8%)Bid Up |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bid Up 11/1, Let down by his jumping on chase debut when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Down Royal last time. Effective at 2m but arrives in poor form based on his Irish efforts. 5yo Irish raider; didn't jump well when well beaten on chase debut at Down Royal. |
|
5th (5)  (14/1 -75%)Elusive Knight |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elusive Knight 14/1, Disappointing when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time after a short break. Acts on good ground but looks flattered by a maiden outlier and needs more but point win suggests he should improve for fences. Hasn't shown much over hurdles but this point winner could relish the switch to fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
After emphatic wins at Hexham and Warwick, it's hard to oppose STICK WITH ME SAM. A 5lb rise for his latest success is manageable in what doesn't appear to be a stronger race. The recent form posted by the rest is nothing to write home about, but Forcetoreckonwith is still of low mileage over fences and could be a key player with a step forward. Irish raider Bid Up won't need to raise his game by much to cover the travel expenses in this company.
It's hard to get away from STICK WITH ME SAM, who can complete the hat-trick. Chasing newcomer Elusive Knight is second choice.

4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bo Cruz 4/1, Outpaced but ran to form when beaten 12l into third in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time, shaping as though in need of a stiffer test. Effective around 2m4f and should benefit from stepping up in distance. 3m point runner-up who is open to improvement now up in trip on his third chase start. |
|
2nd (2)  (10/3 +17%)Court At Slip |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Court At Slip 10/3, Travelled well but did not find as much as looked likely when beaten 14l into third in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time. Effective at 3m. Not quite in the same form since a lay-off but the handicapper has relented. Inconsistent but there have been some encouraging runs this term; could have part to play. |
|
3rd (7)  (8/1 +56%)West Lawn |
8/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) West Lawn 8/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over this course last time. Usually held up and effective over 3m, but she is described as regressive on recent evidence. Won a point last January but hasn't been able to get competitive since reverting to rules. |
|
4th (1)  (10/3 +39%)Bushypark |
10/3(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bushypark 10/3, No obvious excuse when having an easy lead but well beaten in a handicap chase at Ayr last time. Enjoys making it and is effective over 3m+, with cut suiting. Handicapper has relented but he appears regressive. 12yo with no win since December 2023, but mark continues to fall and could make a bold bid. |
|
|F| (3)  (2/1 -7%)Fortunefavorsdbold |
2/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fortunefavorsdbold 2/1, Outpaced early but rallied, finishing 21l third in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time, a little below form. Effective up to 3m2f and suited by testing ground. Has been back in form over fences of late and her mark looks fair. Runner-up to handicap blot two starts ago and looks set to have conditions in her favour. |
|
|PU| (8)  (28/1 -75%)Dysania |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dysania 28/1, Never travelled and was pulled up in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time. Effective over 3m but remains inconsistent, with recent performances offering limited encouragement. Out of form on his last few starts and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD looks worth chancing. Although she was well held in both placed starts since returning to action, she had plenty more behind than in front of her and from 14lb below her last winning mark, this could be a good time to catch the Christian Williams-trained mare. Bo Cruz and Court At Slip have similar profiles and merit close inspection in the betting. Bushypark is also dangerous to ignore on these terms.
The mare FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD (nap) has done her winning on soft and heavy ground and she earns the vote ahead of Bushypark.

7/4(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Born In The West 7/4, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here two starts ago. Travelled well but didn't find much up in grade when fifth, beaten 8 1/2l off 105 last time; same mark here. Only 5th at Market Rasen latest but 2-2 at Catterick and has to be respected now back here. |
|
2nd (5)  (13/2 -44%)Colonial Empire |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Colonial Empire 13/2, Produced his best run since January when beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Taunton last time. Returns off a short break and is effective from 2m to 3m on good or good to soft ground. On a fair mark if building on latest. Reappeared with close second of 16 at Taunton; bang there if producing another good run. |
|
3rd (3)  (7/1 +56%)Rioja Alta |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rioja Alta 7/1, Ran a bit below his best when beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Returns off a short break and is effective at 2m4f-3m on soft or good to soft ground. Not beaten far at Wetherby on first crack at 3m (6th of 7) but needs to build on that. |
|
4th (6)  (9/1 -125%)Guernesey |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Guernesey 9/1, Beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Hexham last time. Effective up to 3m on soft or good ground and on a good mark, but is on a long losing run with some enthusiasm concerns. Poor strike-rate but runner-up on last two starts and every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
|
5th (8)  (6/1 +33%)Poetry Man |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Poetry Man 6/1, Ran a bit below form back over hurdles when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time, and looked in need of the run. Effective at 2 1/2-3m and well treated on chase form; dangerous if allowed to dictate. Course chase winner who could build on November's comeback run over hurdles here. |
|
|PU| (9)  (4/1 +38%)Rebel Intentions |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rebel Intentions 4/1, Built on a recent return to form when beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 2m4f-3m on a sound surface, and is now down to an attractive mark. In good form over C&D on last two starts and a return to winning ways could be imminent. |
|
|PU| (4)  (9/1 +18%)Piaff Bubbles |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Piaff Bubbles 9/1, Never threatened and was unsuited by how the race developed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Visor is tried for the first time; best at 3m and usually held up. Down in the weights and threat if getting stiff test. Well treated on last season's form but this 10yo hasn't shone on his last two starts. |
|
|PU| (1)  (400/1 -167%)Baptism Of Fire |
400/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Baptism Of Fire 400/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Usually held up and effective at 2 1/2-3m, but is inconsistent and needs to prove his ability remains after a lay-off. Very useful in his prime but pulled up on all three runs since returning from long layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having been edged out by a subsequent winner at Taunton, COLONIAL EMPIRE looks ready to rule his rivals. The nine-year-old is entitled to strip fitter for that first appearance in 189 days and a 2lb nudge up the ratings is surmountable. Wetherby third Asa merits respect on this quick turnaround and shouldn't be far away if performing to a similar level, while dual course winner Born In The West isn't easily dismissed either.
Preference is for COLONIAL EMPIRE who went close in a big field at Taunton last month following a break.

8/11(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kazar Forez 8/11, Went clear comfortably when landing a handicap by 12l at Sedgefield last time off a 7lb lower mark. Well treated despite a 4lb rise, has improved, is effective at around 2 1/4m, handles cut, and may have more to offer for a new yard judged on French efforts. Made it 2-2 for season with easy win at Sedgefield; could be tough to beat under penalty. |
|
2nd (2)  (9/1 -80%)Voodoo Angel |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Voodoo Angel 9/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f, handles soft and good ground, and the latest effort suggests she is back in form. Reasonable efforts in first two handicaps and she might not be far away. |
|
3rd (5)  (25/1 -25%)Berry Edge |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Berry Edge 25/1, Ran to current form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time, returns from a short break, is effective at 2m, but has yet to show anything over hurdles or prove himself even off this basement mark. Headgear could help but soundly beaten in November in first two handicap hurdles. |
|
4th (3)  (40/1 -60%)Heritier |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Heritier 40/1, Was outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective over trips from 2m to 2 1/2m but arrives out of form on recent evidence. Won off 9lb higher in December 2024 but hard to fancy on this season's evidence. |
|
5th (4)  (7/4 +42%)Playful Fox |
7/4(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Playful Fox 7/4, Showed greenness and made mistakes but improved after a wind operation when fourth, beaten 10l, in a juvenile hurdle at Haydock last time. This is his second run after the procedure, is effective at 2m, and should improve with experience for top yard. 4yo half-brother to Grand Annual winner Unexpected Party; has potential off opening mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KAZAR FOREZ continued on his upward trajectory when romping home at Sedgefield and he's sure to be towards the head of the market on this hat-trick bid. Joshua Thompson negates most of the 7lb penalty with his claim and the six-year-old should take all the beating. Handicap debutant Playful Fox shouldn't be underestimated given his leading connections, and market support would be interesting. Voodoo Angel is the pick of the remainder.
The ex-French KAZAR FOREZ made it 2-2 for the season when winning comfortably at Sedgefield on Sunday and is taken to defy a penalty.
