2nd (12) (4/1 +33%) Valentine Getaway
4
4/1(+33%)
(12) Valentine Getaway 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good, 5/2) 68 days ago, having run of race. Steps up in trip now and she's not out of things.

3rd (10) (11/1 -38%) Sheila Nash
11
11/1(-38%)
(10) Sheila Nash 11/1, Successful twice at Worcester (23f) during summer of 2022. Lightly raced this year and not disgraced on back of a wind op when third of 5 in handicap at Worcester 38 days ago. Fallen below last winning mark if she can build on that.

4th (6) (15/2 +53%) Fred Bear
7.5
15/2(+53%)
(6) Fred Bear 15/2, Hurdles winner who added another couple of staying handicaps on the Flat to his tally earlier this year. Creditable efforts on 2 of his 3 starts in that sphere since and latest Bath run should have put him spot on ahead of this return to timber. Engaged 1.35 Lingfield Sunday.
5th

5th (4) (15/2 -15%) Belles Benefit
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(4) Belles Benefit 15/2, Successful on debut for this yard at Fontwell (21.7f) last summer and largely consistent subsequently, running up to best when third of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (3m) 3 weeks ago. One of the likelier types.
6th
8
6th (8) (16/1 +36%) No Rematch
16
16/1(+36%)
(8) No Rematch 16/1, Has struggled since winning a claiming hurdle at Leicester in February and no immediate upturn re-united with this yard when eleventh of 18 in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) 2 weeks ago.
7th
1
7th (1) (11/1 -120%) Lelantos
11
11/1(-120%)
(1) Lelantos 11/1, Scored at Newton Abbot in August and running well when unseated rider last in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Needs considering.
8th
2
8th (2) (18/1 -50%) Global Famenglory
18
18/1(-50%)
(2) Global Famenglory 18/1, Maiden but fitted with cheekpieces and found only one too good in 4-runner novice at Warwick in May. Probably needed the run when well held seventh of 8 in handicap at Fontwell (25.7f) 4 weeks ago but she needs to have come on plenty from that.
9th
7
9th (7) (5/1 +58%) Dukehill
5
5/1(+58%)
(7) Dukehill 5/1, Point winner who left handicap debut well behind when close third at Perth. However, ran a moody race in this headgear at Cartmel next time and has since left Mrs Caroline McCaldin. One to monitor closely in the betting for positive vibes.
9
9
|F| (9) (5/1 -11%) Kentford Mallard
5
5/1(-11%)
(9) Kentford Mallard 5/1, Consistent mare who built on her Fontwell run when landing 7-runner C&D handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago, produced to lead last and pushed clear. 3 lb rise fair and she ought to be thereabouts again.
10th
3
10th (3) (66/1 -32%) Pontresina
66
66/1(-32%)
(3) Pontresina 66/1, Hasn't stood much racing since joining this yard from Oliver Sherwood but he shaped as if needing first starts for 5 months at Exeter (24.2f) 2 weeks ago, weakening 3 out and pulled up last. Still, he's not the easiest to assess back over hurdles.
11th
11
11th (11) (12/1 -50%) The Longest Day
12
12/1(-50%)
(11) The Longest Day 12/1, Finally off the mark in handicap at Perth (23.9f) in August and followed up at the same C&D later that month. Not disgraced when fourth from much-inflated mark at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) in October and forecast better ground here a likely plus.
LTO Selection:
12:50 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KENTFORD MALLARD has been nudged up just 3lb in the ratings for her C&D victory last month and the veteran may be able to complete a brace if in a similar mood. An improved performance is expected from The Longest Day, who appeared to be bogged down in the softer ground at Perth last time out, and Sophie Leech's charge may offer the most resistance to the selection. Dukehill makes some appeal on his stable bow too.
KENTFORD MALLARD showed the benefit of a recent run when resuming winning ways over C&D 3 weeks ago and, raised 3 lb on the back of that, it would come as no surprise to see her make another bold bid. Belles Benefit and Lelantos head up the dangers, whilst Dukehill demands market attention on debut for his new yard.
This is a belated first run over hurdles for DUKEHILL but he has gone close off a similar chase mark and his new yard is on the up.
(12) Sammy's Guarantee 20/1, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when midfield in 16-runner mares' novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 11 days ago. Hood/tongue tie quickly applied and this should reveal more. Drifted out to 33-1 prior to finishing well beaten in a bumper at Ludlow; new headgear.
1
3
1st (3) (Evens +60%) Magic Seven
0
Evens(+60%)
(3) Magic Seven Evens, Useful form when impressively making his second start in bumpers a winning one here (16.2f) 12 months ago. Not in same form when fourth back here a month later but he returns with potential firmly intact now attentions switch to hurdling. One to consider. Course bumper winner; likely contender now raised in trip for hurdling debut.
2
6
2nd (6) (11/2 +50%) Face D'music
5.5
11/2(+50%)
(6) Face D'music 11/2, Finished third on only outing in Irish points in May and subsequently sold for £100,000. Another worth monitoring in the betting for positive vibes ahead of Rules/hurdles debut. Close third in only Irish point and he fetched £100,000 at the sales.
3
7
3rd (7) (7/1 +18%) Gentleman Jacques
7
7/1(+18%)
(7) Gentleman Jacques 7/1, Promise on first 2 starts in bumpers and step forward back from 6 months off when keeping on for third at Warwick (2m) 32 days ago. No reason why he won't make his mark over hurdles and not out of things. Needs to settle better but it was a likeable return when third in his final bumper.
4
9
4th (9) (22/1 -120%) Prairie Diamond
22
22/1(-120%)
(9) Prairie Diamond 22/1, Well backed and the confidence was justified when winning 6-runner bumper here (16.2f) in February. Entitled to be sharper for his reappearance run at Worcester (2m) in September now attentions switch to timber. Course bumper winner who had limitations exposed under a penalty; bred to make a hurdler.
5th
1
5th (1) (7/2 +13%) Banteer
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(1) Banteer 7/2, Westerner gelding who made a pleasing start when second in an Exeter bumper (16.7f) in February. Not in same form at Stratford (16.3f) in April but he's undergone wind surgery ahead of return/hurdles debut and no surpise to see him get back on track. Second in his first bumper; made a noise in the second and had wind surgery since.
6th
2
6th (2) (12/1 -85%) Kick Up A Storm
12
12/1(-85%)
(2) Kick Up A Storm 12/1, £78,000 purchase as a 3-y-o but low-key start in a Wincanton bumper 12 months ago. Shaped as if better for the run following wind op/11 months off when third in 7-runner Worcester novice hurdle 25 days ago but this should reveal more. In a top yard but not overly appealing on what he's shown thus far.
7th
4
7th (4) (50/1 -100%) Meranti
50
50/1(-100%)
(4) Meranti 50/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. No match for superior rival in 2-runner C&D novice on yard debut last month and handicaps entitled to be more his bag. Hammered by his sole rival in a match here three weeks ago.
11
11
|PU| (11) (200/1 -700%) Gladys Eva Jane
200
200/1(-700%)
(11) Gladys Eva Jane 200/1, Showed fair form in bumpers whilst looking ungenuine. First run for yard after leaving Peter Bowen for only £5,000 in August. Others achieved more in bumpers and she left Peter Bowen for £5,000.
LTO Selection:
13:20 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although MAGIC SEVEN was unable to complete a course bumper double under a 7lb penalty when finishing fourth at this venue in December, the Jonjo O'Neill-trained charge looks the one to be on if translating that ability to hurdles on his debut over timber. Banteer likely found the testing conditions against him when tailed off in a NH Flat race at Stratford in April and the five-year-old cannot be taken lightly for leading connections. Prairie Diamond also warrants a second look now entering this sphere.
MAGIC SEVEN displayed useful form when landing the second of his 3 starts in bumpers at this venue last winter and he could be the way to go now hurdling back from 10 months off. Fellow hurdles debutant Banteer may emerge as the chief threat, with Steel Ally and Gentleman Jacques a couple of others to consider.
There's no standout contender. With Sam Thomas having his string in good order a chance is taken on STEEL ALLY.
13:20 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Baltray 8/13, Third in Limerick bumper before posting a promising second of 8 in novice at Fontwell (19.2f, good, 10/3) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. Has more to offer. The one to beat. Clear second on his switch to hurdling at Fontwell (2m3f, good) and the winner is useful.
2
9
2nd (9) (9/2 +78%) Saxons Lane
4.5
9/2(+78%)
(9) Saxons Lane 9/2, Malinas gelding who hinted at promise when seventh of 17 in bumper at Kempton (16f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 7 months ahead of his hurdles debut but he's no forlorn hope. Seventh of 17 in a soft-ground bumper at Kempton, having weakened up the straight..
3
5
3rd (5) (20/1 +39%) Uncle Mac
20
20/1(+39%)
(5) Uncle Mac 20/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Antunes. Hinted at promise when seventh of 10 in bumper (11/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 8 months ago. Makes hurdles debut on the back of a wind op and not discounted. At 11-1, he was pretty much tailed off in a Huntingdon bumper.
4
8
4th (8) (14/1 -100%) Black Occ
14
14/1(-100%)
(8) Black Occ 14/1, Point runner-up who build on his debut effort when second of 8 in novice hurdle (14/1) at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 33 days ago. May do better still. Place claims. Should be better for going up in trip but others appeal more.
5th
4
5th (4) (15/2 -67%) Saint Jaguen
7.5
15/2(-67%)
(4) Saint Jaguen 15/2, Showed ability in bumpers and made a promising hurdling debut when third of 7 in 16.5f novice at Market Rasen in June. Not in quite the same form over the same C&D 2 months later but he retains a bit of potential. Clearly no budding star but this longer trip should bring him on.
11
11
|F| (11) (250/1 -400%) Conniegetaway
250
250/1(-400%)
(11) Conniegetaway 250/1, Modest form shown in three bumpers, staying-on fifth of 8 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 142 days ago. Can take a step forward upped in trip for his hurdles debut. Second in a Southwell bumper that lacked any depth and ended up well beaten at Uttoxeter.
2

|PU| (2) (15/2 -25%) Divilskin
7.5
15/2(-25%)
(2) Divilskin 15/2, €245,000 purchase following success only start in points. Modest form at best in a couple of bumpers and pulled up in 2m Worcester novice on hurdling bow 25 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hopes pinned on the longer trip and/or tongue-tie making a difference.
12
12
|PU| (12) (200/1 -33%) Mo Zola
200
200/1(-33%)
(12) Mo Zola 200/1, Won sole start in point bumpers but pulled up in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. In trouble a good way out before pulling up on her switch to hurdling at Ludlow (125-1).
LTO Selection:
13:50 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There were plenty of positives to be taken from BALTRAY's hurdling bow at Fontwell last month and the son of Milan is fancied to build on that runner-up effort to land the spoils here. Black Occ found only one rival too strong at Bangor in early October and the four-year-old makes more appeal than most now upped in trip. Saint Jaguen is another who may find some improvement on the rise in distance and he isn't dismissed.
BALTRAY shaped well on his debut for Emma Lavelle when runner-up at Fontwell and with improvement very much on the cards he can go one better. Bangor-second Black Occ is next on the list ahead of hurdling-newcomers Strackan and Uncle Mac.
This is probably at the mercy of BALTRAY, who may only need to reproduce his clear second at Fontwell.
13:50 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Shirocco's Dream 9/2, Made winning start over fences at Huntingdon (23.6f) in February and got back on track when second in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) final run. Back from 6 months off after a wind op so enters calculations. Solid start to chasing last season, running up to her best the final time.
2
9
2nd (9) (10/3 +79%) Do You Think
3.333333
10/3(+79%)
(9) Do You Think 10/3, Running well (in second) when unseated rider 3 out in 3m handicap chase at Ffos Las in May. Took this event 12 months ago so she's not taken lightly after a break. Won this 12 months ago on her chase debut off the very same mark; yard in form.
3
3
3rd (3) (11/1 +31%) Whatsdastory
11
11/1(+31%)
(3) Whatsdastory 11/1, Course winner but he produced a laboured effort when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, good) 176 days ago. Up in trip. Others appeal more. Returns on a competitive mark and won't mind returning to a longer distance.
4
7
4th (7) (7/1 +18%) My Girl Katie
7
7/1(+18%)
(7) My Girl Katie 7/1, Fair form over hurdles last season but she beat only one on her chasing bwo in 3m Chepstow handicap 24 days ago. This point winner shouldn't be written off yet. Competitive in handicap hurdles; ground was perhaps too soft on recent chase debut.
5th
2
5th (2) (10/1 +38%) Aimee De Sivola
10
10/1(+38%)
(2) Aimee De Sivola 10/1, Fair winner at 26f over hurdles but he's yet to convince as a chaser, only fourth of 5 in novice chase (40/1) at Worcester (23f, soft) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with work to do. It was a warm novice in which she returned at Worcester in September.
6th
5
6th (5) (5/1 +38%) Porter In The Park
5
5/1(+38%)
(5) Porter In The Park 5/1, Irish point winner who scored over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.7f) in January. Pulled up in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, soft) on debut over fences 18 days ago though. Quiet chase debut but similar story on last season's return before doing well over hurdles.
11
11
|PU| (11) (10/3 +45%) Harry's Hottie
3.333333
10/3(+45%)
(11) Harry's Hottie 10/3, Fair 25f winning hurdler for Harry Whittington last season. Shaped encouragingly on yard/chasing debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (21.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Not ruled out with better to come. Won off 6lb higher over hurdles; did well to be 4th on chase debut after one bad misake.
10
10
|PU| (10) (18/1 +28%) Sadie Hill
18
18/1(+28%)
(10) Sadie Hill 18/1, A fair winning hurdler but she's offered little on her two previous runs over fences. Others appeal more. Only a remote third when unseating three out here 13 days ago when a 16-1 chance.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KRAQUELINE made his chasing bow a winning one when appearing to score with something in hand at Wincanton last Sunday. The Martaline mare looks more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty and the longer trip should hold no fears. The progressive Lazy Sunday was thwarted in her bid to land a four-timer when second at the aforementioned Somerset venue in April, but the nine-year-old is unexposed over this far and there could be more improvement to come. Fellow seasonal debutant Head And Heart is another to note representing a yard in fine form.
KRAQUELINE proved a differennt proposition sent chasing when going in at Wincanton last week and can make light of her 7 lb penalty with this return to further also looking a positive. Harry's Hottie made a promising start in this sphere too when fourth at Ffos Las for Jamie Snowden so must enter calculations along with the returning duo Lazy Sunday and Head And Heart.
This is competitive but KRAQUELINE did everything right when she impressed on last week's chase debut.
(1) Bonttay 15/8, Triple bumper winner who added 2 more wins over hurdles last season, latterly in handicap company at Kelso (2m, soft) in March. Likely she can go on to even better things this term. Likeable mare but has to concede weight to some progressive rivals.
2
4
2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Puffin Bay
3
3/1(+25%)
(4) Puffin Bay 3/1, Made a winning start for new trainer Harry Derham at Wincanton last seen in April. Raised 5 lb for that but strong chance she'll have more to offer for this stable. Winning debut for this yard when last seen, doing it readily off 5lb lower.
3
9
3rd (9) (9/2 +50%) Georgi Girl
4.5
9/2(+50%)
(9) Georgi Girl 9/2, Fair winner in 2m juvenile hurdles last season. Her opening mark demands improvement but she is unexposed. Highly encouraging juvenile runs last season and goes handicapping off a lenient mark.
4
5
4th (5) (15/2 +25%) Hiconic
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(5) Hiconic 15/2, Took advantage of reduced mark when winning handicaps at Warwick and Worcester (both 2m) at the start of the current season and ran to similar level when runner-up the last twice. Ought to go well again. Bumped into one last time; returns to a mares' race and this mark isn't beyond her.
5th
2
5th (2) (33/1 +34%) Kingston Sunflower
33
33/1(+34%)
(2) Kingston Sunflower 33/1, Completed a hat-trick in novice hurdles at this sort of trip for Fergal O'Brien last autumn but pulled up on Wincanton handicap debut for new stable last month. Can only watch after that. Progressive front-runner last season; recent return at Wincanton poses questions.
6th
6
6th (6) (16/1 +11%) Addosh
16
16/1(+11%)
(6) Addosh 16/1, Now 6 lb lower than when scoring at Southwell in summer 2022 but she needs to shrug off a poor run at Market Rasen last time. It was a competitive Class 2 in which she struggled at Market Rasen most recently.
3
3
|F| (3) (11/1 +8%) Simply Red
11
11/1(+8%)
(3) Simply Red 11/1, Enhanced excellent Bangor record with 2 more wins there last month, the latter under today's pilot Charlie Maggs. Respectable sixth of 11 at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month but it underlines she needs more from her current mark. Again keen last time and couldn't get away with it in a Class 2 handicap.
7
7
|PU| (7) (11/1 +8%) Ooh Betty
11
11/1(+8%)
(7) Ooh Betty 11/1, Won maiden/novice hurdles in May and shaped better than the result when third of 5 at Ludlow (21f) 5 months later, weakening as if the run was needed. Drops back in trip now. Went close in a handicap in April but she was 16lb lower then.
8
8
|PU| (8) (18/1 -29%) Princess T
18
18/1(-29%)
(8) Princess T 18/1, Won over hurdles on Jersey in July but more miss than hit since (mostly on the Flat), including back in this sphere at Market Rasen latest. Easy winner of this last year off the same mark; below par of late but can bounce back.
12
12
|PU| (12) (66/1 -100%) Karannelle
66
66/1(-100%)
(12) Karannelle 66/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Best race of this campaign when narrowly denied at Newton Abbot (17f) in September but well beaten at Worcester since. Consistent but she's hard to win with (3-46) and will do well to win this.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BONTTAY went in by over two lengths on her handicap bow when last seen in March and she was given an 8lb rise for that display. The daughter of Westerner should have more to come and she can make a winning return to action. The main danger appears to be Ooh Betty, who could have blown the cobwebs off after a 136-day break at Ludlow last time and should put in a much better bid with Harry Cobden booked. Puffin Bay completes the shortlist after her victory at Wincanton in April.
This looks a competitive race of its type. There should be more to come from BONTTAY this season so she gets the nod, but similar comments apply to Puffin Bay and Jaminska, while Hiconic arrives at the top of her game and is also respected.
There's good reason to believe that GEORGI GIRL might be on a lenient mark for her handicap debut.
(6) School Days Over 9/2, Looked a useful prospect in bumpers, winning at Market Rasen on debut before an excellent second in Cheltenham listed event. Has failed to match that level of form over hurdles, but he was placed in a couple of Irish points and may be seen in a better light now switched to fences. Useful bumper/hurdle form; placed in both points; chase/handicap debut.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Bagheera Ginge
4
4/1(+0%)
(1) Bagheera Ginge 4/1, Winner of 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles last year and given a well-judged ride from the front when opening chase account at the seventh attempt at Warwick (2½m, good) last month. Hard to grumble with a 4 lb rise and he should make another bold bid. 4lb higher in a deeper race but he's the only one of these with chasing experience.
3
10
3rd (10) (14/1 +0%) Up For Appeal
14
14/1(+0%)
(10) Up For Appeal 14/1, Fair form in bumpers when in Ireland. Stepped up on previous hurdling efforts to score at Stratford (16.3f, good) in August, but no further progress when only third of 6 at Worcester since. Improvement needed now upped in trip for this chase debut. Will need to be a better chaser than hurdler to win this on his first attempt.
4
8
4th (8) (8/1 +43%) No No Tango
8
8/1(+43%)
(8) No No Tango 8/1, Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles and made the frame all 3 starts in handicap company. Has undergone a wind op since latest start in March and could have a part to play for in-form yard if his jumping holds up now switched to the larger obstacles. Remained a maiden over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps.
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 +53%) Dream In The Park
4
4/1(+53%)
(4) Dream In The Park 4/1, Improved when switched to handicaps over hurdles last term, back-to-back winner at around 19f at Stratford and Ascot last October. Well below par at Fontwell on latest start on Boxing Day, but will be a threat if all is well and, of course, his jumping passes the test now tackling fences. Goes chasing off a perfectly good mark and has a pointing background.
6th
2
6th (2) (4/1 +27%) Sporting Mike
4
4/1(+27%)
(2) Sporting Mike 4/1, Point winner who achieved a fairly useful level of form over hurdles last season, winner of a Stratford handicap 12 months ago and solid second in a Bangor novice (23f, good to firm) on latest start in April. Should be in the mix if taking to fences, particularly if the ground is good or firmer. Consistent hurdler and a winning pointer who should be every bit as effective over fences.
5

|PU| (5) (9/2 +50%) Hermes Boy
4.5
9/2(+50%)
(5) Hermes Boy 9/2, Looked a horse to follow when landing an Exeter novice in December 2021, and twice made the frame in handicaps off higher marks at Sandown and Uttoxeter last December. However, well below par all 3 starts since the turn of the year and hard to know what to expect of him on this chase debut. Chase newcomer and this mark is very fair on flashes of his form.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bagheera Ginge got off the mark over fences at the seventh time of asking at Warwick in October and a 4lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Preference, however, is for chasing debutant SCHOOL DAYS OVER, who boasts a pointing background. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding has displayed enough ability over hurdles to suggest that his current mark isn't beyond him in this sphere. Strapping six-year-old Big Blue Moon warrants closer inspection now tackling larger obstacles.
Arguably the one with the greatest potential is PIMLICO POINT, who was a winner of his sole point start and there's substance to the form of his Chepstow hurdles debut success. He was reported to have suffered with a breathing problem when disappointing on his latest appearance and, having since undergone a wind op, he may well get back on track now switched to fences. Bagheera Ginge, the only one of these with experience over fences and a winner last time, is feared most ahead of Sporting Mike.
Kerry Lee's PIMLICO POINT is temptingly treated on the form of his novice hurdle win and he might be the answer to an open chase.
(8) Molly's Third Man 33/1, Didn't offer enough in 2 bumpers in the spring to suggest she's likely to strike on hurdling debut. Beaten 40l and 17l in his two bumpers on good to soft ground.

8/15(+34%)
(1) Fiveonefive 8/15, Much improved switched to handicaps, making up considerable ground to double his tally at Cartmel (17f) in July. Shaped as if still in top form when 10 lengths third in Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las last time and a bold show looks assured back in a handicap. Dual handicap winner who returns to novice company in a race lacking depth.

2nd (7) (11/4 -22%) Johnny Blue
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(7) Johnny Blue 11/4, Overcame greenness to make a winning bumper debut at Worcester in June. Muich respected now hurdling for his top stable. The second has won since but it was still an ordinary bumper he won during the summer.

3rd (9) (20/1 +20%) Muskoka

20/1(+20%)
(9) Muskoka 20/1, Closely related to 3 winners and showed a fair level of ability in bumpers earlier in the year. One to note in the betting now hurdling after 6 months off. Finished closer in each of his bumpers, last time going down by about 10l at Huntingdon.

4th (11) (10/1 -11%) Omaha Wish
10
10/1(-11%)
(11) Omaha Wish 10/1, Point winner who was third on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and filled the same position on last month's hurdle debut after a break, albeit she again looked a bit ungainly under pressure. Improved on her bumper efforts when third in a small-field novice hurdle at Bangor.
5th

5th (6) (100/1 -150%) Grandmaster Flash
100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Grandmaster Flash 100/1, Fairly useful stayer at best on the Flat but below that level of late. This quite a belated hurdle debut. High mileage on the Flat with a record of 3-22 on the AW and 0-15 on turf.
6th

6th (4) (125/1 -25%) Deadlock
125
125/1(-25%)
(4) Deadlock 125/1, Fair form on Flat but last of 4 in novice at Aintree on hurdle debut in May and well held on return at Ludlow 11 days ago. Beaten 16l in a 1m4f AW maiden for this yard and it's been a quiet start over hurdles.
7th

7th (13) (250/1 -67%) Tara Vango
250
250/1(-67%)
(13) Tara Vango 250/1, 66/1 and hooded, last of 6 in bumper at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on debut 101 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 66-1 for a Uttoxeter bumper in July and he finished a tailed-off last of six.

8/1(+50%)
(2) Gaius 8/1, :Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon and off the mark over hurdles in a 2m Worcester maiden in June. Well-held sixth in a handicap there last time, though, and likely vulnerable under a penalty back in a novice. Worcester winner during the summer who looks vulnerable with his penalty.

|PU| (3) (150/1 -50%) Beau Nash
150
150/1(-50%)
(3) Beau Nash 150/1, AW Flat winner for the Gosden stable in 2020 but well held in 3 comeback runs for this yard. Outsider on hurdle debut. Impossible to fancy on what he's shown in three Flat starts for this yard.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The 125-rated FIVEONEFIVE brings some solid handicap hurdle form to this novice contest and the son of Dylan Thomas is taken to concede 12lb to chief rival Johnny Blue. Nicky Henderson's gelding showed a willing attitude when prevailing by a neck on his debut in a bumper at Worcester in June, which should stand him in good stead going forward. Omaha Wish may prove more competitive once receiving a mark. Nevertheless, the five-year-old may fill the remaining place now returning to 2m.
FIVEONEFIVE brings some quite useful handicap form into this novice and is the percentage call, although market confidence behind Nicky Henderson bumper winner Johnny Blue would put a slightly different slant on things.
Denis O'Regan bids to complete the full set of winners on British and Irish racecourses and FIVEONEFIVE (nap) looks just the ticket.
15:50 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(10) Jukebox D'eddy 14/1, Improved effort over hurdles when going close on 2m Wetherby handicap debut (good to soft) in March. Not in the same form next 2 starts, though, and improvement needed now that his attention is turned to the larger obstacles. Best run over hurdles when 2nd at Wetherby in March, but not so good since; chase debut.

1st (4) (11/2 +35%) Extraordinary Man
5.5
11/2(+35%)
(4) Extraordinary Man 11/2, Fair maiden over hurdles who offered some promise initially over fences, second in a 3-runner affair on chase debut at Leicester in February. Hasn't made much of an impact since, though, including back over hurdles the last twice. 0-15; not run to his best this year (failed to finish on both starts over fences).

2nd (5) (11/1 +8%) Abaya Du Mathan
11
11/1(+8%)
(5) Abaya Du Mathan 11/1, Dual winner of 19.4f handicap chases for David Pipe at Ffos Las this year, the latest a decisive all-the-way success on good ground in June. Now 3 lb below that winning mark, but with good reason (well below par in 4 subsequent starts) and needs to get back on track for new yard here. Eight chase wins (last in June); sold £4,000 since; headgear switch; chance on yard debut.

3rd (1) (15/2 +63%) Moytier
7.5
15/2(+63%)
(1) Moytier 15/2, Produced much his best effort on these shores when second in a 6-runner Warwick maiden hurdle (19f, good to firm) in May. However, well held back in handicap company on return at Wincanton and he's opposable on this chase debut. Placed three times over hurdles at up to 2m3f; goes chasing after a low-key comeback run.

11
4th (11) (8/1 +43%) Cobbs Corner
8
8/1(+43%)
(11) Cobbs Corner 8/1, Improved again when getting off the mark in handicap hurdle Fakenham last October, but that wasn't a particularly strong race and he signed off last season on a downer. Opposable on chase debut. Won novice handicap hurdle last autumn but not been out since February; chase debut.
5th
9
5th (9) (10/3 -48%) Gone In Sixty
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(9) Gone In Sixty 10/3, Remains a maiden, but he is going the right way over fences, judged on his near miss in a handicap at Fontwell (17.8f, good) where he pulled well clear of the rest. 3 lb rise fair and likely to make a bold bid to go one better here. 0-16, but placed eight times; good claims having run creditably all three starts chasing.
6th
6
6th (6) (28/1 -180%) My Little Toni
28
28/1(-180%)
(6) My Little Toni 28/1, Sole success over hurdles came in a 3-runner Sedgefield novice last September, but she has failed to build on that since and performed to a poor level on last month's chase debut. Fair hurdler who was a fair fifth of 7 on chase debut last month (pulled hard); a possible.
7th
12
7th (12) (3/1 +45%) Pencil
3
3/1(+45%)
(12) Pencil 3/1, Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles and on first 2 starts in this sphere. However, better effort when third in a 9-runner Bangor handicap chase (17.4f, soft) on return last month and should be in the mix off the same mark here. Maiden; creditable third in Bangor novice handicap chase last time; one with a chance.
8th

8th (2) (8/1 +0%) Herecomeshogan
8
8/1(+0%)
(2) Herecomeshogan 8/1, Dual hurdles winner at 18.5f last year, but not been in same form since and poor effort on sole completed start in this sphere to date. Dual hurdle winner in 2022 but rather disappointing since including on both chase starts.
9th

9th (7) (66/1 -164%) Great Threat
66
66/1(-164%)
(7) Great Threat 66/1, Showed fair form at best in 2 hurdle/chase starts in France, but he was struggling a long way out and eventually tailed off on recent British debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot. Ex-French; 3rd over fences in July but tailed off in novice hurdle (heavy) on stable debut.
10th

10th (8) (11/1 +31%) Bertie's Bandana
11
11/1(+31%)
(8) Bertie's Bandana 11/1, Poor maiden hurdler and hopes firmly pinned on the switch to fences sparking significant improvement back from an 8-month absence. Modest hurdler, including in three handicaps; needs to improve for this switch to fences.
LTO Selection:
16:20 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Gone In Sixty posted his best effort over fences when a close-up second at Fontwell last month and the six-year-old is likely to be in the shake-up once more off only 3lb higher in the handicap. PENCIL, however, just edges the vote after a promising third on his seasonal bow at Bangor last time out. Nicky Martin's gelding competes off the same rating in this contest and a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon, while Extraordinary Man and Fanfan Du Seuil could also feature prominently.
This looks like a good opportunity for GONE IN SIXTY, who went down narrowly at Fontwell last month, and a mere reproduction of that would probably be good enough to see him home in front here. Fanfan du Seuil has slipped to a dangerous mark and will be a threat if ready to roll back in this sphere following an 11-month absence, while Pencil is also accorded respect on the back of an improved effort at Bangor.
Eight-time chase winner ABAYA DU MATHAN makes his debut for Gary Hanmer and is taken to beat Pencil and Gone In Sixty.
