|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (22/1 +21%)Eveque |
22/1(+21%) | (8) Eveque 22/1, Out of form and well beaten in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; returning from a long layoff and has a bit to find. Operating well below the form level of his January 2024 Sedgefield win when last seen.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -13%)King Of Cong |
9/1(-13%) | (2) King Of Cong 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here last time; wears cheekpieces for the first time; the trainer is in form but he has a bit to find. Bit of encouragement over hurdles here in August hasn't been built on; cheekpieces go on.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 +45%)I See The Sea |
11/1(+45%) | (1) I See The Sea 11/1, Outpaced and in need of the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective over 3m but inconsistent. Overcame awkward jumping to run Gibberwell close over C&D in March; poor return outing.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 +50%)Uptown Harry |
8/1(+50%) | (7) Uptown Harry 8/1, Outpaced and continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Perth last time; effective over 3m and acts with cut, though best at Carlisle; currently out of form. Well down the weights; it has to be taken on trust that recent return has brought him on.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 +6%)Shesupincourt |
8/1(+6%) | (6) Shesupincourt 8/1, Disappointing on her chase return when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Hereford last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on any ground but has yet to fire since returning from a break this autumn. Winless outside mares-only company; would need a lot of rain to become of interest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (8/1 +33%)Iturgeon Du Breuil |
8/1(+33%) | (10) Iturgeon Du Breuil 8/1, Found little when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Newcastle last time; effective over 3m, acts on good ground; remains an exposed maiden. Out of the weights this time but in the frame on five out of seven visits to Hexham.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/2 -22%)Dr Shirocco |
11/2(-22%) | (4) Dr Shirocco 11/2, Had every chance but needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Kelso last time; should come on for that and looks the pick on race times. Likely better for recent hurdles outing; 2lb lower than for his two chases win here.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (5/1 +33%)You Say Its Over |
5/1(+33%) | (11) You Say Its Over 5/1, From a yard that has won two of the last eight renewals; outpaced and needed the run when running to form to finish 11l third in a handicap chase here most recently; wears blinkers first time; effective over 3m and an exposed maiden. Usually makes the frame here but may need to find more in blinkers to upgrade to a win.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (6/1 -33%)Whispering Dancer |
6/1(-33%) | (9) Whispering Dancer 6/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso most recently; wears cheekpieces for the first time and looks the pick on overall form. Well held in three sub-3m novice hurdles but no surprise if he improves for fences.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (8/1 -23%)Gibberwell |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Gibberwell 8/1, Below form but wanting a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; could be a contender. Good C&D record; lack of a recent run found him out in this last year and may again today.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/1 -57%)Don Brocco |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Don Brocco 11/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a mark of 86 over 4m here last time; a consistent performer. Good third over 4m here when last seen; would have appealed more with a recent run.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

DR SHIROCCO produced some decent efforts over C&D during the summer months and the return to the larger obstacles, in what appears to be a winnable contest, gives him every chance of gaining a fifth career success. Don Brocco got the better of Gibberwell at Carlisle in February and the pair are likely to be competitive, while first-time blinkers might aid the cause of You Say Its Over.

If fences prove the making of WHISPERING DANCER, a mostly exposed bunch headed by Dr Shirocco looks there for the taking.

1st (3) (11/2 +21%)Ninna Collina |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Ninna Collina 11/2, Ran to form when winning a maiden hurdle at Hereford by 2l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; steadily progressive and competitive, though more is needed to defy a penalty. Made winning seasonal reappearance at Hereford (2m, mares' maiden); penalised accordingly.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/4 +44%)Biglesisback |
5/4(+44%) | (7) Biglesisback 5/4, Keen and had a bit too much to do back from a break when third by 2 1/4l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; effective at around 2 1/2m; should come on for that run with more to come. Outpaced 3rd of seven on hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f); trip query over 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 +0%)Uokhun |
15/2(+0%) | (4) Uokhun 15/2, Below form when beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time; wants a stiffer test but has a small chance. Two 3m hurdle wins; fitness has to be taken on trust off a six-month break; trip query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (8/1 +50%)Gintime |
8/1(+50%) | (8) Gintime 8/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 13l, in a mares bumper over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time; trainer in form and could be competitive. Shaped well on Carlisle bumper debut; modest the next twice; now switches to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (40/1 -100%)Mad Mag |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Mad Mag 40/1, Ran to form when third by 15l in a mares race over 3m at Durrow last time; absent for a very lengthy period and difficult to recommend. Debut Irish point winner in early 2024; clear fitness risks after 19-month absence.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/3 +26%)Belle Le Grand |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Belle Le Grand 10/3, Ran to form under a double penalty when just caught late by a stablemate in receipt of plenty of weight, finishing second by a neck in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot; enjoys making the running; returning from a break; a speed and form selection. Carries a double penalty for short-odds maiden/novice hurdle wins at Warwick and Cartmel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 +0%)Lady Phoebe |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Lady Phoebe 100/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a handicap over 12f at Newcastle most recently; had been in good form prior but is hard to recommend. Flat winner over 1m5f in August but pulled up on hurdle debut in January (50-1). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (80/1 -627%)Bay Empress |
80/1(-627%) | (6) Bay Empress 80/1, Far too free in front when stepping up in grade and finished down the field in a bumper at Ayr most recently; has a bit to find. Wetherby bumper winner for M. Hammond; struggled at Ayr in April; hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (80/1 -60%)Night Burlesque |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Night Burlesque 80/1, Made mistakes and needed the run on chase debut when third by 22l in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface. Modest hurdle debut at Warwick recently and likely to need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (10/1 -100%)Camlin Park |
10/1(-100%) | (2) Camlin Park 10/1, Quickened clear with ease to win a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick over 2m2f by 12l last time; returns from a short break; effective at 2m1f on a sound surface; has more to come over hurdles from this point winner and should stay further in time. Clearcut winner of a Downpatrick maiden (2m2f, good) in late August; carries a 7lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (40/1 -60%)Miss Bumblebee |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Miss Bumblebee 40/1, Bit free and hit the front too soon but improved when third by 19l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f here last time; effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; showing improvement. Twice placed (well beaten) over 2m4f here; already has a modest mark; lots to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (66/1 -371%)Miss Friday Lions |
66/1(-371%) | (12) Miss Friday Lions 66/1, Slowly away and outpaced when finishing down the field in a novice over 10f at Redcar on debut; had been in good form prior; wears a hood for the first time; needs to show much more. Some promise in three bumpers, the latest in March (50-1); hooded for hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (200/1 -400%)Arctic Duchess |
200/1(-400%) | (5) Arctic Duchess 200/1, Below form and well beaten in a maiden bumper at Newcastle last time; returning from a long layoff and needs to find plenty more. Some promise in opening bumper; hurdles debut off nine-month absence; others more obvious.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (300/1 -100%)Moira My Love |
300/1(-100%) | (13) Moira My Love 300/1, Outpaced and below form when well beaten in a bumper at Ayr last time; hard to recommend on hurdle debut. Well held in a pair of Ayr bumpers (at massive prices); unlikely on hurdle debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

BELLE LE GRAND was turned over by a stable companion when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories over hurdles at Newton Abbot in June and Dan Skelton's mare returns from a break with a fine opportunity to strike. Biglesisback is open to improvement after finishing third on her hurdling bow at Perth in September, while Camlin Park and Ninna Collina are others with solid credentials.

This lacks a standout. The Downpatrick scorer CAMLIN PARK is a tentative selection to defy a penalty.

1st (7) (5/1 +17%)Diamond Mix |
5/1(+17%) | (7) Diamond Mix 5/1, Showed a good attitude and improved when dropped in trip, landing a handicap by a neck off 94 here last time. Likely has a bit more to come. Off the mark over fences on final start last term; quite interesting off 5lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/2 +30%)We Got Your Back |
7/2(+30%) | (8) We Got Your Back 7/2, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 89 here last time. Effective from 2–2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; consistent and remains competitive. C&D winner off 3lb lower last time; has won on soft ground; major contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +23%)Dream Jet |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Dream Jet 5/1, Outpaced and unusually below par, unable to go the gallop when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Sedgefield last time. Trainer in form; consistent performer. All four wins have been on good ground, latest over C&D in March; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (9/2 +50%)Conquer The Breeze |
9/2(+50%) | (10) Conquer The Breeze 9/2, Travelled well and ran to form when out-battled late, finishing second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap chase at Perth last time. Returning from a break and looks the pick on race times. In fine form over fences, winning over C&D in June (also placed 5 times); each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (40/1 -100%)Miss Fedora |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Miss Fedora 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Fakenham last time; form in and out; has a bit to find. Both chase win over 2m1f at Plumpton, latest off 7lb higher in April; disappointing since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 -64%)Raffles Wonder |
9/1(-64%) | (2) Raffles Wonder 9/1, Travelled cosily and improved when handling the better ground, benefiting from a stiff track and strong pace to land a Go North One Man Series Final Handicap Chase by 5l off 101 at Carlisle last time. Probably more to come. Won latest two races last season (second after wind op); career-high mark but interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -38%)Forcing Bull |
9/1(-38%) | (1) Forcing Bull 9/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground when 24l third in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Cartmel on his most recent run. Off a long absence and enjoys making the running. Ex-Donald McCain; won two hurdles and a novice h'cap chase; interesting on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/2 +21%)O'faolains Glory |
11/2(+21%) | (5) O'faolains Glory 11/2, Improved under an aggressive ride when dropped in trip, beaten 1 1/4l off 99 here last time. Effective over 2–2 1/2m and suited by a sound surface; back in form and remains competitive. In good form having finished runner-up on last 2 starts, latest over C&D; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (12/1 -71%)Jazz King |
12/1(-71%) | (3) Jazz King 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time. Returning from a break and needs to prove ability remains after the layoff. Ex-Alastair Ralph; bought for £5,000 in July; won h'cap hurdle on reappearance last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (28/1 -12%)Cornerstone Lad |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Cornerstone Lad 28/1, Needed the run and failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m4f here last time. Regressive type. One-time classy hurdler; 1-24 over fences, his only win in June 2022; others stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

RAFFLES WONDER got the hang of things over fences with a brace of victories at Sedgefield and Carlisle. The eight-year-old was given a 7lb hike for the latest success, but that came after a wind operation and there may well be more to come. We Got Your Back and O'Faolains Glory were closely matched here last time and the pair command plenty of respect along with Conquer The Breeze.

Laura Morgan's WE GOT YOUR BACK (nap) is taken to confirm last month's C&D form with O'Faolain's Glory.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (9/4 -29%)Out Of The Woods |
9/4(-29%) | (6) Out Of The Woods 9/4, Outpaced but improved from debut when beaten 5l in a bumper over 2m at Kelso last time. Bumper winner previously and looks the pick on balance of form. Soft-ground bumper winner and this longer trip should be just the ticket over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/4 +50%)Kool Raoul |
9/4(+50%) | (5) Kool Raoul 9/4, Ran to the level of bumper form, just tiring late when back from a break on hurdle debut and second beaten 6 1/2l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Kelso. Effective over 2m on soft or good ground. Couldn't cope with the winner but ran well to be second in a 2m novice at Kelso. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (14/1 -180%)Rosie Baloo |
14/1(-180%) | (13) Rosie Baloo 14/1, Promising bumper debut, needing every yard when a nose winner in a mares' bumper over 2m at Southwell on debut. A value selection on the balance of form. Only 7-2 when winning a Southwell bumper and the second hasn't disgraced that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (25/1 -150%)Cushendun |
25/1(-150%) | (3) Cushendun 25/1, Ran to form when 5 1/2l third in a maiden bumper over 2m at Kelso on most recent run. Absent for a very lengthy period and has a bit to find. Ability in bumpers; what form he'll be in after 630 days on sidelines remains to be seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/4 +63%)Big Zouk |
9/4(+63%) | (2) Big Zouk 9/4, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 3m at Ayr last time. Trainer in form and returns from a long layoff. Effective over 2m with cut; drop in trip should suit and place claims if bouncing back. Bought for £160,000 after winning his point and too early to be getting negative about him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (150/1 -127%)Rock On Max |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Rock On Max 150/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a maiden over 3m at Ballysteen last time. Has it all to do. Bought for £21,000 after showing no more than minor promise in three Irish points. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -12%)The Brave Guy |
28/1(-12%) | (9) The Brave Guy 28/1, Promising effort when third beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden over 3m at Ballyragget on debut. Absent for a very lengthy period with plenty more needed. Shaped nicely in an Irish point (winner useful) but that was some 600 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (16/1 +36%)Yapper Hill |
16/1(+36%) | (10) Yapper Hill 16/1, Bit too free on hurdle debut when 25l third in a maiden hurdle here last time. Returning from a break; effective over 2 1/2m on good ground. Debut form franked but may need more time. Remote third over C&D in June (good) and had wind surgery since then; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (25/1 +0%)Ballybough Nelson |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Ballybough Nelson 25/1, Promising effort when runner-up beaten 2l in a maiden over 3m at Ballindenisk on only start. Absent for a very lengthy period and hard to recommend. Bought for £27,000 after finishing second of 14 in an Irish point in May 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (16/1 +11%)Parish Quiz |
16/1(+11%) | (7) Parish Quiz 16/1, Bit too free but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden bumper over 2m at Wetherby last time. Returning from a long layoff and needs to find more. Beaten about 14l in both his bumpers, behind Out Of The Woods on the first occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (300/1 -200%)De Deli Counter |
300/1(-200%) | (11) De Deli Counter 300/1, Yard won this last year. Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Newcastle last time. Step back up in trip a plus but looks one for low-grade handicaps. Pretty much tailed off in a point and two runs over hurdles, the latest only last week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from KOOL RAOUL's timber/seasonal debut when second over 2m at Kelso last month. The five-year-old is open to more improvement and edges the vote. Stable companion Out Of The Woods appears likely to benefit from stepping up to 2m4f on his hurdling bow, while Southwell bumper winner Rosie Baloo is the pick of the remainder.

The 5yo OUT OF THE WOODS looked good in winning his first bumper and connections reckon they got the tactics wrong at Kelso.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having secured a third course victory here on his most recent outing, a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold display from Robert d'Ores. However, the reopposing third ZWICKY enjoys a 5lb swing with George Bowley's inmate and may exact his revenge on his second run of the season. Ballin Bay posted a solid third on his stable bow at Wetherby in March and is also worth a second look, along with Shoeshine Boy, who lurks on an attractive mark.

He's no good thing to confirm recent course placings with Zwicky but ROBERT D'ORES is always a solid option around here.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Rioja Alta continued his upward trajectory when landing the spoils at Cartmel in July, although a 5lb higher mark and rise in class does demand another career-best performance. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on the returning EIRE STREET. Jackie Stephen's charge suffered an interrupted campaign last season but, with his yard among the winners, a return to 2m4f could prove fruitful. Hay Meadow and Romeo Brown are feasible alternatives.

The Ayr scorer MONSIEUR LE FUZZ could have more to offer even allowing for an absence of cheekpieces. Tineggiori is a threat.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The recent Carlisle winner Hello Judge has to be respected, but a 4lb rise demands more from him here. With that in mind, preference is for MALAITA, who showed much more when third at Market Rasen last month and she wouldn't have to find much more to be successful on this occasion. Rattling Road edges out Pinot Rouge to be best of the rest.

Having shaped well last time, MALAITA is taken to win this, with Hello Judge and Rattling Road also likely to go well.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Forthfactor won well on his debut at Hereford in February and makes plenty of appeal now switched to Dan Skelton. However, a 7lb penalty is a concern and preference is for PERFECTOT, who showed more when third at Musselburgh on her second start in March. With further improvement likely, Rebecca Menzies' filly just tops the shortlist. Any market support for Belvedere Bhoy or Jim Thorpe would have to be noted.

A chance is taken on the newcomer RONNIE RUSSET taking advantage of the weight he receives from Hereford winner Forthfactor.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
