Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary provided, 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY is the most likely to do well as they have a recent solid performance and have run consistently. Therefore, our prediction for the top three horses are: 1st: 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY 2nd: 1.75/1 (4) PARK HILL DANCER 3rd: 3/1 (3) FINAL ENCORE

A DEFINITE GETAWAY arrives here on the back of two second-placed finishes and this appears to be a perfect opportunity for the five-year-old to go one better. Park Hill Dancer has the ability to give the selection plenty to think about, while Final Encore came up short in a good Cheltenham race last time but he is more than capable of making the frame at this level.

A DEFINITE GETAWAY isn't obviously capable of better but a repeat of his runner-up effort at Market Rasen a month ago may well get the job done. Park Hill Dancer is the obvious threat, though this is a much easier race than Final Encore's latest assignment.

Tentative preference is for A DEFINITE GETAWAY, who was inconsistent last season but ran well on his latest outing.

1st - 2/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR 2nd - 6/1 (1) I HOPE STAR 3rd - 4/1 (4) ODIN'S QUEST

PARC D'AMOUR only found one too good on his handicap debut at Warwick 10 days ago and the first-time application of a hood could help him to score off the same mark here. Odin's Quest won a maiden hurdle at Wincanton recently and an opening rating of 103 should be workable for him. I Hope Star is the pick of the remainder.

PARC D'AMOUR travelled like a well-handicapped horse at Warwick 10 days ago, and with a hood hopefully settling him down early, he can prove that point here. Odin's Quest is the chief threat, though Choirmaster is of some interest with a tongue strap fitted on the back of a breathing op.

Kim Bailey's PARC D'AMOUR found one just too good on his recent handicap debut but can gain quick compensation off the same mark here.

1st: 3.5/1 (3) RAGAMUFFIN 2nd: 4/1 (2) ELIOS D'OR 3rd: 12/1 (6) DINO VELVET

The consistent Ragamuffin has to be respected on his return to action, but preference is for ELIOS D'OR. Robert Walford's gelding won well over hurdles at Kempton and his subsequent defeat at Warwick can be forgiven, although he is 10lb higher back over fences here. Viva Lavilla should not be underestimated, while Dino Velvet is another who could make the frame.

SOMEKINDOFSTAR signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising fourth at Warwick after a lay-off so gets the nod at the chief expense of Elios d'Or, who can build on his recent third at the same track now reverted to this sphere. Ragamuffin is another who needs factoring in despite a lack of a recent run.

Doubts over most, but ELIOS D'OR's 4-8 record in class 4 handicap chases gets him the narrow verdict over the returning Ragamuffin.

1st: 4/1 (7) GAIA VALLIS, 2nd: 8/1 (2) KENTFORD MALLARD, 3rd: 6/1 (1) SADIE HILL

Gaia Vallis was second by a neck last time at Taunton and was put up 2lb for that solid effort. She will face different conditions on this occasion, which could give a chance to MILANESE ROSE. The daughter of Milan ran well off this mark on her penultimate start at Plumpton and, if able to reproduce that level of form, she is likely to go very close. Sadie Hill and First Venture are others to watch out for.

GAIA VALLIS saw the 3m trip out with more conviction than had previously been the case when finishing runner-up at Taunton a fortnight ago, so David Bridgwater's 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better and continue her fine run of form. The main danger may emerge from Sadie Hill, who narrowly got off the mark at Ffos Las last month and should be competitive again from just a 3 lb higher mark. Div Ine Tara and Kentford Mallard can fight out third spot.

An open race, but as likely improvers for the step up to 3m, BEAN NORTY and Div Ine Tara are preferred in that order.

1st: 6/1 (6) WILLIAM OF YORK. 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) ISSAR D'AIRY. 3rd: 4/1 (7) SWAPPED.

William Of York brought the double up at Huntingdon last time and was raised a further 5lb in the ratings for that victory, which may not be enough to stop him here. However, preference is for SWAPPED, who is returning from a break after having a wind operation and looks to have been given a workable opening mark, with the step up to this distance a possible source of improvement. Issar D'Airy, Great Ocean and Denable are other contenders to note.

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, SWAPPED didn't go without promise in a trio of novice hurdles last campaign and, with progress anticipated now handicapping for his powerful stable, he could well be worth chancing to come out on top following wind surgery. Great Ocean comes here on the back of solid placed efforts and is feared, with the hat-trick seeking William of York and Issar d'Airy others fancied to feature.

4lb lower than when second to a very well-handicapped rival in September, DENABLE (nap) and is due a 2lb rise for last week's good run.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well from this summary as there is limited information on their recent form and performance. However, based on their recent races and potential, 2.25/1 (7) DOYENS DE ANTE and 4/1 (3) I'M A STARMAN seem like strong contenders for the top three positions. 11/1 (1) TEL'ART could also have a chance if there is no significant rain. Without more information, it is impossible to accurately predict the exact finishing order of the horses.

I'M A STARMAN returned to form when second at Wincanton last month and is feared with ground conditions likely to suit. Dorado Dollar is another boasting claims at this level, as he took a step in the right direction when finishing a neck second at Warwick last month. Of the others, Carrigeen Konini might be a bit of each-way value on her first start for Micky Hammond.

I'M A STARMAN returned to the pick of his chase form when runner-up at Wincanton 25 days ago and, with this ease in class an obvious plus, he earns the vote to open his account in this sphere. The participation of Doyen de Ante (due to run at Fontwell Wednesday) would put a different slant on things given the manner of his Chepstow success previously, however.

Second in a Wincanton 0-110 last time to a subsequent winner, I'M A STARMAN is chosen over Chepstow scorer Doyens De Ante.

1st: 7/1 (7) WHATAWIT 2nd: 5.5/1 (9) BROOMHILL ROAD 3rd: 7.5/1 (11) LUCKY PLACE

Broomhill Road and Whatawit appeal most from those with previous experience and each are worth monitoring in the betting. However, there are a few interesting newcomers that appeal on pedigree, with HEAD OVER HINDS, whose dam won a bumper in Ireland before progressing to be a Grade 3 winner over hurdles, looking the most attractive proposition. He debuts for a yard in flying form and appears to have been found an ideal platform to launch his career. Potters Bishop is another compelling debutant.

MONTECAM is a half-brother to Altior among others and, while only sixth at Kempton on debut, the fact that he was sent off 9/4 looks significant. He might well be able to improve enough to open his account at the second attempt and he's marginally preferred to Broomhill Road, who made a pleasing start at Doncaster a couple of months ago. Lucky Place, a stablemate of the selection, is also worthy of consideration first time out.

Altior's half-brother MONTECAM arguably ran a bit better than the bare form suggests when sixth on his Kempton debut and gets the vote.
