The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) Boyles Hill 10/1, Runner-up in his only bumper and took well to hurdling over the summer, winning a 20.5f Market Rasen maiden in August. Ran poorly on handicap bow after 3 months off (carried head awkwardly) at Chepstow. Entitled to come on for that but needs to take a big step forward. Maiden hurdle winner this summer but well beaten on last month's handicap debut.

10/1(+17%)
(4) Valens Bruyee 10/1, A two-time winner over hurdles last season (including over C&D) but has shown little spark in 2 chase outings this term. Returns to hurdles in search of some confidence. Cheekpieces back on. C&D winner in April but reverts to hurdling after two poor chasing attempts this autumn.

2.25
9/4(+55%)
(9) Awesome Foursome 9/4, Bumper/hurdles winner who again ran creditably when runner-up at Ludlow in May. Not in same form since, making mistakes tried over fences at Fakenham the last twice. Back in trip reverted to hurdling now. Chasing didn't really go to plan this autumn but he reverts to hurdling on a good mark..

10/3(+0%)
(2) Hostile Hotelier 10/3, Dual hurdles winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) in October and ran well back over hurdles at Newcastle latest (3m), travelling well into home straight and finishing third of ten. Back in distance today in new headgear. Should go well. Dual hurdle winner last season and consistent since returning from break in September.

5th (6) (25/1 -213%) Fame And Fun
25
25/1(-213%)
(6) Fame And Fun 25/1, Won a Plumpton handicap chase in March but patchy record over fences/hurdles since. Ran in a selling hurdle on final start for Paul Nicholls (claimed by current connections for £7,000), showing more that day, and interesting to see how he fares for new yard. Claimed after finishing second in a seller in October; would appeal more on faster ground.

|PU| (1) (7/1 -110%) Kiss My Face
7
7/1(-110%)
(1) Kiss My Face 7/1, Fair handicap hurdler who was back to form 15 days ago (1¼ lengths second of 10 to East Street) in conditionals event at Haydock. One to consider back in trip. Good second to bang-in-form rival this month; respected, despite career-high mark.

3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(8) Wot You Wearing 10/3, Back-to-back winner at Chepstow last year and encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in a 25.5f Hereford handicap in October. Hasn't backed that up, although last run was a step in the right direction. New headgear combination today and top conditional again aboard. Respected. Won three times last year but his improvement seems to have levelled off now.
12:22 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Kiss My Face bounced back to form with a good second over the extended 3m at Haydock earlier in the month and he has strong claims on that form. However, a 2lb rise and a drop in trip may not be ideal for him, so the vote goes to HOSTILE HOTELIER. The selection won over a similar distance at Southwell in March and he confirmed his well-being with a placed effort over further at Newcastle last month. Awesome Foursome has slipped back to a feasible mark and warrants respect.
With top conditional Dylan Johnston again booked for the ride, a chance is taken on WOT YOU WEARING. The pick of his form would put him bang there in this contest, and confidence would be even higher if he is supported in the market. At the head of the weights, Kiss My Face and Hostile Hotelier both look to have solid claims, with the latter taken to fill the runners-up berth.
Hostile Hotelier and Kiss My Face have claims but AWESOME FOURSOME reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark and gets the vote.
12:22 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Jalisco Star 11/2, Good winner at Bangor (23f) in March and similar form when fourth on return/following wind op in October. Below best on chase debut but bounced back when winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Ascot last month. Ridden prominently that day and should be up with pace again. Another bold bid expected. Caused 22-1 surprise at Ascot last month and now 2-8 over hurdles; 4lb rise not excessive.

2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Followango
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Followango 2/1, Course bumper winner who made the frame in all 5 starts over hurdles in early 2024. Failed to complete on chase debut but proved much more effective back over hurdles when third at Lingfield (19.5f) 10 days ago. Looks well worth a step up in trip and big chance if arriving here in the same form. 1lb well in after good 2m3f run ten days ago and could have untapped potential over 3m.

3rd (5) (11/8 +69%) Bridget Mary
1.375
11/8(+69%)
(5) Bridget Mary 11/8, Made a winning chasing start in October and followed it up with a good fourth of 13 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, set a lot to do). Ran here 29 days ago and would have finished closer but for mistakes. Back over hurdles and has the ability to be involved if jumping holds up. Placed in 3m chase here last month and reverts to hurdling on slightly lower mark.

|PU| (4) (9/1 -29%) Walkinthecotswolds
9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Walkinthecotswolds 9/1, Maiden. Second on handicap debut in a 4-runner affair at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in March. Not so good back down to 2m at Uttoxeter a month later. Ran with credit here in first-time hood following 210-day break (tried to make all) and entitled to build on that comeback effort with hood retained. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well here (2m6f) on seasonal debut and this trip may suit better.

|PU| (1) (12/1 -336%) Flintara
12
12/1(-336%)
(1) Flintara 12/1, Took well to chasing last season, scoring at Fontwell in December and running with credit when runner-up at Cheltenham in April. Makes return over hurdles after 245-day absence but has ran well fresh in the past. Chance if she can replicate her chase form over the smaller obstacles. Good second in valuable Cheltenham chase in April; back hurdling on 2lb lower mark.
12:57 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JALISCO STAR posted a career-best effort when scoring over the extended 3m at Ascot last month and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. Flintara was in good form when last seen in the spring and a 2lb pull in the weights makes her dangerous on her reappearance, while Followango may be a threat if improving for the step up in trip.
A trappy contest in which all five runners hold a reasonable chance. The improver could be FOLLOWANGO who ran well behind a progressive horse of Nicky Henderson's 10 days ago (hopefully this doesn’t come too soon) and has shaped as though this step up in trip will suit. Jalisco Star is respected having bounced back to form over hurdles when scoring at Ascot last month, while Bridget Mary has claims but needs to sharpen up her jumping on her return to this sphere.
The pick is FOLLOWANGO (nap), who ran well over 2m3f recently and looks interesting on this first attempt at 3m under rules.
12:57 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Blue Las 2/9, Won 2 of 3 starts in bumpers and made a promising hurdling/seasonal debut when runner-up in maiden at this course (20f, heavy) last month, bumping into a nice prospect. The one to beat back in mares' company. Dual bumper winner; second here (2m4f) on last month's hurdling debut; good chance.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) Audacious Annie
4
4/1(-45%)
(1) Audacious Annie 4/1, Half-sister to numerous winners and justified favouritism in a Wetherby bumper on debut. Never a threat in listed race next time, before shaping as if needing the run after 9 months off at Cheltenham in November. One to note as she starts off over hurdles. Bumper winner from a good jumping family; likely contender on hurdling debut.

3rd (5) (50/1 +0%) Kate Of The Lodge
50
50/1(+0%)
(5) Kate Of The Lodge 50/1, Successful on completed start in Irish points but raced too freely when well held in bumper at this course on Rules debut in October. Pulled up in maiden back here (20f, heavy) sent hurdling last month and hood/tongue strap now reached for. Won Irish point in March but soundly beaten here on first two rules starts (bumper/hurdle).

4th (9) (66/1 -65%) Stylia
66
66/1(-65%)
(9) Stylia 66/1, Runner-up on completed start in Irish points, but down the field in a bumper and beaten even further when eleventh of 13 in novice at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on hurdling debut 13 days ago. Likely to need more time. Did not get competitive when a big-priced outsider for recent hurdling debut.
5th
7
5th (7) (10/1 +50%) Portobello Girl
10
10/1(+50%)
(7) Portobello Girl 10/1, Went backwards from her bumper debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies last season and yet to show much in 2 runs over hurdles for current yard, well-beaten fifth of 6 in maiden at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) a month ago. Needs to get back on track. Showed some promise in bumpers but has been safely held on both hurdling starts.
6th

6th (3) (50/1 +0%) Dancing Dani
50
50/1(+0%)
(3) Dancing Dani 50/1, Long-standing maiden under Rules who has struggled in 2 starts over fences back from her summer break, pulled up in handicap at Market Rasen (19.2f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Blinkers now tried as she reverts to hurdling. Pulled up off lowly chase mark this month and now 0-23 under rules.

|PU| (4) (200/1 -100%) Grayland
200
200/1(-100%)
(4) Grayland 200/1, Offered little in a pair of bumpers and fared no better on her hurdling debut, tailed off in maiden at this C&D (heavy) last month. Looks to be up against it. Well beaten in both bumpers and when 250-1 for last month's C&D hurdle debut.
13:32 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLUE LAS was 2-3 in bumpers and looked like she was going to justify the market support on her hurdling debut over 2m4f here last month, but she ran out of gas close home and had to settle for the silver medal. The combination of that experience and a drop in trip can see her gain compensation, possibly at the main expense of Audacious Annie. The latter showed signs of promise in bumpers and makes her hurdling debut for a yard amongst the winners of late, so she looks a bigger threat than Lagertha and Solid Silver.
A dual winner in bumpers, BLUE LAS shaped encouragingly behind the all-the-way winner at this course on hurdling debut and she can build on that effort to go one better. Audacious Annie could be the biggest threat as she goes hurdling with her recent bumper run behind her, ahead of Lagertha.
Dual bumper winner BLUE LAS finished rather tired when second over 2m4f here on her hurdling debut but can go one better today.
13:32 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) The Scorpion King 5/2, Found his feet over fences during the spring and has kicked on again this season, building on his solid reappearance second at Stratford when going one better here (23.8f, heavy) last month, travelling more fluently through the race than usual. 5 lb rise tolerable and should make his presence felt. Travelled strongly before asserting here last month but doesn't always look enthusiastic.
2
5
2nd (5) (7/4 -17%) Haut Folin
1.75
7/4(-17%)
(5) Haut Folin 7/4, Dual chase winner in France and opened account on these shores when scoring over 3m here on his reappearance last season. Also made a very positive start to present campaign when going close at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) 10 days ago and he's a huge player off the same mark back here. Went close on recent seasonal debut and is back in action before 2lb rise takes effect.

3rd (4) (18/1 +28%) Bobmahley
18
18/1(+28%)
(4) Bobmahley 18/1, A dual 3m chase scorer in 2022/23 and was entitled to need the run at Chepstow where he was returning from an extra-long absence. Down 3 lb and this run should be more revealing with regard to how much ability remains. Well handicapped on old form and might have needed last month's reappearance outing.
4
9
4th (9) (33/1 +34%) Esperti
33
33/1(+34%)
(9) Esperti 33/1, Little impact over hurdles for this yard and hasn't fared any better over fences on his last 3 starts, well-beaten fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (19.4f, heavy) last time. Best watched back up in trip. Regressive 7yo who has not shown a great deal over hurdles or fences since the summer.
3

|F| (3) (7/1 -17%) Mumbles
7
7/1(-17%)
(3) Mumbles 7/1, Went the right way over hurdles last term, gaining a second victory at Fontwell in March. Started off well in this sphere when second of 9 here last month, prior to finishing fourth at Lingfield where he again shaped as though 2m was too sharp. Improvement likely back up to a more suitable trip. Dual 2m3f hurdle winner; up in trip after two respectable 2m chase runs this autumn.

|PU| (10) (9/2 +44%) Wide To West
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(10) Wide To West 9/2, Off the mark in 3m handicap chase here on final start of last season and probably needed the run when sixth of 13 behind The Scorpion King back at this course on his reappearance. Still, his temperament isn't all it could be and some of these look more solid. 3m course winner in April and shaped well behind The Scorpion King here last month.

|PU| (1) (12/1 +40%) Monbari
12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Monbari 12/1, Found improvement dropped in trip fitted with first-time cheekpieces when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) in April. However, he has offered little in 2 subsequent starts, including on return/chase debut at Bangor. Ran no race on seasonal/chase debut but refitted cheekpieces might perk him up.

|PU| (7) (80/1 -220%) Game Line
80
80/1(-220%)
(7) Game Line 80/1, On a good mark judged on form from a few seasons back but his wellbeing needs taking on trust following an absence of over 2 years. Sports a first-time visor. Five chase wins; absent since November 2022 but resumes on very tempting mark.
6

|PU| (6) (80/1 -142%) Pilgrims King
80
80/1(-142%)
(6) Pilgrims King 80/1, Last season's campaign was a productive one, bagging handicap chases at Doncaster and here (both at around 19f) and placed on several occasions, too. However, he now needs to get back on track having been pulled up on his last 3 starts. Blinkers refitted having sported a visor on his latest start. Has looked out of sorts and been pulled up on all three starts this term.
8
8
|PU| (8) (80/1 -60%) Fashion's Model
80
80/1(-60%)
(8) Fashion's Model 80/1, Sent chasing last season, off the mark on final start of the campaign as she landed mares' handicap at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) in April. No show in a handful of runs so far this term, though, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Ended last season with clearcut 2m4f win but has been out of form this term.
14:07 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although unable to justify favouritism on his seasonal debut over an extended 2m7f at Lingfield recently, HAUT FOLIN lost little in defeat when finishing a staying-on second. Venetia Williams' charge is due to go up 2lb in future races and this trip should really suit the seven-year-old. The Scorpion King arrives on the back of a victory in a 13-runner affair at this venue and a 5lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while Mumbles is a potential improver.
HAUT FOLIN went down narrowly on his recent reappearance at Lingfield and is likely to prove hard to beat off the same mark (due to go up 2 lb) back at the course where he opened his account for present connections last November. Following a couple of spins over 2m this season, Mumbles could be about to take a step forward now faced with a more suitable test and he rates the main danger ahead of The Scorpion King, who was a winner here last month.
It's worth chancing BOBMAHLEY, who made good progress over fences during the 2022-23 season and might have needed last month's run.
14:07 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Rosscahill 11/10, Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point in December. Landed the odds without impressing visually on debut at this course (21.9f, soft) in October. Penalised but can progress given soft underfoot conditions (displayed a most ungainly action on Rules bow). Created good impression when winning comfortably over 2m6f here on hurdling debut.

2nd (1) (8/1 +27%) Ben Solo
8
8/1(+27%)
(1) Ben Solo 8/1, Irish point winner who was placed in the first of 2 bumpers last season and made a successful start to his hurdle career in a 2m Chepstow novice in October. However, he failed to fire upped to 2½m at Aintree since and looks vulnerable under a penalty here. Claims if judged on Chepstow win in October; connections blamed the ground last time.
3

3rd (4) (20/1 -43%) A Moments Madness
20
20/1(-43%)
(4) A Moments Madness 20/1, Has an ordinary pedigree but finished runner-up sole start in Irish points in February and made an encouraging enough start over hurdles when fourth of 13 in a Wetherby novice (19.7f, good to soft) in October. Tiring when carried out at Leicester subsequently and others look stronger. Shaped well on hurdling debut and was in contention when carried out last time.
4
6
4th (6) (4/1 +0%) Jakar Du Moulin
4
4/1(+0%)
(6) Jakar Du Moulin 4/1, Winner of a maiden point in February (sole start in that sphere) and, having subsequently fetched £175,000 and joined top jumps yard, shaped with some encouragement before tying up when runner-up in 12-runner novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, good to soft) last month. Can build on that. Irish point winner; no match for winner when second on hurdle debut but can improve.
5th
2
5th (2) (22/1 -83%) Holokea
22
22/1(-83%)
(2) Holokea 22/1, Irish point winner who made the perfect start when landing a Worcester bumper in the summer. Proved a disappointment at Chepstow 4 months later but back to winning ways on hurdling bow at Southwell (24.3f, good) just over 8 weeks ago, pouncing on the favourite late. Cheekpieces applied. 2-3 under rules, the latter win gained on hurdling debut; has more on his plate here.
6th

6th (9) (9/2 -13%) Saint Palais
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(9) Saint Palais 9/2, Progressed into a smart chaser during 2021/22 season, winning 4 of his 5 starts. However, proved bitterly disappointing returned to hurdling at Bangor in November 2022 and let down by his jumping in graded company next 2 starts. This far more suitable but has been off 21 months. Very useful chaser; unlucky not to be placed in G2 hurdle in 2023; back from long absence.
7th
8
7th (8) (200/1 -400%) Mohawk Chief
200
200/1(-400%)
(8) Mohawk Chief 200/1, Fairly useful form on Flat at 2 yrs, though failed to beat a rival on both starts in 2023. Sold from Aidan O'Brien 16,000 gns/gelded and best watched after 19 months off now hurdling. Promising as a 2yo in Ireland but makes stable/hurdle debut after long absence.
8th
7
8th (7) (17/2 -55%) King Of Thieves
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(7) King Of Thieves 17/2, Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and shaped well when occupying same spot in a bumper at this course (15.8f, heavy) in March. More will be needed if he's to go one better now switched to hurdles but he's interesting nonetheless. Second to the very smart Potters Charm in heavy-ground course bumper in March.

|PU| (5) (300/1 -50%) Illico Du Breuil
300
300/1(-50%)
(5) Illico Du Breuil 300/1, Maiden Irish pointer who went with little encouragement on hurdles debut in June 2023 and showed nothing in a first-time tongue strap after 18 months off at this course (15.8f, heavy) recently. Very hard to see him involved. Pulled up here last month, after a long absence; moves up in trip today.
14:42 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It will be interesting to see what the market makes of smart chaser Saint Palais on his return from a 643-day layoff, as this is undoubtedly less demanding than when pulled up in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival. ROSSCAHILL looks the most solid proposition after confirming his point-to-point victory with a ready victory on his hurdles bow over 2m6f here in October. Jakar Du Moulin is the pick of the remainder.
An intriguing novice with the suggestion being SAINT PALAIS, who was let down by his jumping in a couple of graded events when last seen early last year, but this rates as good opportunity for Richard Bandey's 7-y-o to open his account in this sphere provided he's ready to roll. Rosscahill landed the odds without impressing visually on debut here in October, so he heads up the dangers, with Jakar du Moulin and Holokea taken to fight out third.
Irish point winner ROSSCAHILL impressed over 2m6f here on his rules debut in October and is selected to defy a penalty today.
14:42 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Karuma Grey 100/1, Galway maiden hurdle winner last spring has made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts switched to fences for Ellmarie Holden last term. However, he was pulled up in a handicap hurdle on sole start for Christian Williams in April and probably worth taking on back from a break on debut for another new yard. Showed some chasing ability in Ireland last year but probably best watched on stable debut.
2
1
2nd (1) (16/5 +57%) Hurricane Highway
3.2
16/5(+57%)
(1) Hurricane Highway 16/5, Point winner/hurdles winner who was placed on his first 2 completed starts in this sphere. Disappointing favourite at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) when last seen in February but it's still early days and he's worth a second look eased 3 lb and back down in trip for this seasonal reappearance. 0-4 over fences last season but can be dangerous off this mark if all goes to plan.
3
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -43%) Art Of Diplomacy
20
20/1(-43%)
(4) Art Of Diplomacy 20/1, Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland, leaving that stable after taking a Wetherby seller in March. Satisfactory start for this yard when fourth of 10 at Kempton in May and could have a part to play off 2 lb lower on chase debut, provided his jumping passes the test. Won selling hurdle in the spring but is not bred for fences and has fitness to prove.
4
5
4th (5) (11/4 +66%) Just Over Land
2.75
11/4(+66%)
(5) Just Over Land 11/4, Consistent sort over hurdles last season and bright start in this sphere after 6 months off when second of 8 in handicap here (2m, soft) in October. Not so good at Chepstow next time but this step back up in trip could be a good thing and he remains of interest. Shade disappointing last time but made good start to chasing career in October; up in trip.
5th
12
5th (12) (11/1 +45%) Rock Danse
11
11/1(+45%)
(12) Rock Danse 11/1, Point scorer who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in a Hexham maiden last December. However, he found life tougher thereafter and improvement is needed sent chasing following a 10-month absence. Absent since falling heavily over hurdles in February; makes chasing debut today.
6th

6th (7) (14/1 +30%) Knowwhentoholdem
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Knowwhentoholdem 14/1, Hurdles winner for Anthony Charlton at Newbury in March and ran to similar level on debut for this yard when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby 26 days later. Pulled up on chase debut at Newton Abbot in October, though, and he's opposable on the back of that display. Tongue strap added. Ended last season in good form over hurdles; dropped out tamely on chase debut in October.
7th
6
7th (6) (8/1 -60%) Not Long Left
8
8/1(-60%)
(6) Not Long Left 8/1, Hurdles winner for Christian Williams in May 2023. Only got as far as the second fence (unseated rider) on first start since at Uttoxeter where he was making his chase/stable debut, but he was strong in the betting that day and it'll be interesting to see if that's again the case. Unexposed 7yo; unseated rider in early stages of recent stable/chase/handicap debut.
8th
10
8th (10) (33/1 -32%) Hold Your Fort
33
33/1(-32%)
(10) Hold Your Fort 33/1, Thrived during the summer, completing a Newton Abbot 4-timer in September. Form has nosedived since, though, and he's probably best watched for now. Won four times at Newton Abbot this summer but the ground may have turned against him now.

|PU| (8) (15/8 +53%) Saladins Son
1.875
15/8(+53%)
(8) Saladins Son 15/8, Runner-up twice over hurdles for Chris Gordon last term and went one better on return/debut for new yard in a Huntingdon maiden (25f, soft). This former point winner is a scopey sort and better is expected of him now switched to fences. Won over hurdles on last month's stable debut and looks interesting on chase debut.
15:17 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LEADER IN THE PARK may have been beaten a long way on his chase debut at Cheltenham last month, but he travelled well up until two out. Improvement is likely on the back of that and he may be able to strike for his in-form connections, with recent Huntingdon winner Saladins Son looking best placed to chase him home on his first start over the larger obstacles. Hurricane Highway has strong claims too.
This looks very competitive, with several appealing candidates to choose from. SALADINS SON was workmanlike when landing the odds in a small-field maiden hurdle last month, but he is likely to come into his own now tackling the larger obstacles. Anthony Honeyball's charge gets the nod ahead of Hurricane Highway, who remains of interest despite misfiring on his final run of last season. Leader In The Park should leave his chase debut well behind in time and Just Over Land also merits respect.
Dual point winner STRATTON OAKMONT was placed behind two well-handicapped rivals over hurdles last month and can strike on chase debut.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Related to talented individuals like Kildistart and The Big Breakaway, GILLESPIE has a strong pedigree and he looks the one to be with for leading connections on debut. The booking of Nico de Boinville catches the eye and he gets the vote ahead of My Fortune, who is a half-brother to the stable's Fine Casting, who scored in this sphere. Three Pikes and Wassailing Along should be monitored for market support.
The betting will be revealing in this newcomers' bumper and WASSAILING ALONG, Gillespie and My Fortune could be the three against the field before market clues.
Ben Pauling had a newcomer win last week at Warwick and MY FORTUNE edges preference ahead of Three Pikes.
