1st (11)  (7/2 +22%)Stay If U Want To |
7/2(+22%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Stay If U Want To 7/2, Bumper winner was off the mark in this sphere at Hereford in May and finished second in a couple of handicaps since, shaping as though a stamina test is what he needs. Would appreciate a good gallop to aim at over this trip and he's not one to discount if the race is run to suit. Latest effort took his form figures in Class 4 hurdles to 221222; solid contender. |
|
2nd (3)  (5/2 +64%)Rocheval |
5/2(+64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rocheval 5/2, Unbeaten in 3 outings last season, namely an Aintree bumper and juvenile hurdles at Ayr and at Carlisle. Connections opted to pitch him straight into graded company on his reappearance (well-beaten) and he'll need to pull out more to defy this sort of mark now handicapping. Held in Grade 2 on sole run this term; unbeaten previously; interesting back down in class. |
|
3rd (1)  (18/1 +10%)Young Jack |
18/1(+10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Young Jack 18/1, C&D winner in December but disappointing back here later that month when let down by his jumping (also found to have suffered from an irregular heartbeat). Regressed when pulled up at Haydock 27 days ago and has plenty to prove at present. Made all over C&D on most recent attempt in this grade; possibilities if back to that form. |
|
4th (13)  (7/2 +30%)Paddy O'mahler |
7/2(+30%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Paddy O'mahler 7/2, Finished fifth of 16 in a decent handicap for the grade at Wetherby in December and posted an improved effort when winning a handicap at the same venue last month. Up 7 lb and into a stronger race but he's clearly going the right way and further progress wouldn't come as a shock. Off the mark with clearcut win at Wetherby last month; still unexposed beyond 2m4f. |
|
5th (6)  (28/1 +30%)Theme Tune |
28/1(+30%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Theme Tune 28/1, Landed a pair of 3m handicap hurdle wins for Nick Alexander in 2022/23 season but has been unable to recapture that form in three starts since. May have needed the run after 14 months off when finishing down the field at Ayr last time but others arrive here with stronger claims. Well treated on best form but needs to show he retains ability. |
|
6th (9)  (4/1 +43%)Both Barrels |
4/1(+43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Both Barrels 4/1, Made steady improvement over hurdles last season, landing a C&D handicap on his final run of the campaign. April. Likely needed his reappearance run at Ayr last month and every chance he can resume progress back at the scene of his win. Resumption of progress looks plausible with Ayr reappearance under his belt. |
|
7th (5)  (22/1 -57%)Champ Royal |
22/1(-57%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Champ Royal 22/1, Much improved since joining Susan Corbett, scoring 4 times (at up to 25.3f) over hurdles last season. Quieter start to this campaign but bounced back to his best (having had the run of the race) when third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Should be in the mix again. Five wins last term; returned to form with third-place finish at Catterick last time. |
|
8th (2)  (9/1 +36%)Foster'sisland |
9/1(+36%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Foster'sisland 9/1, Course winner can be hit and miss, not seen to best effect last time given plenty to do when seventh of 17 in a better handicap at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) at the beginning of the month. Handicapper has given him a chance though and back down in grade, he would make plenty of appeal if on a going day. Has lacked consistency this term and is on a near two-year losing spell. |
|
9th (10)  (25/1 +0%)Sonification |
25/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sonification 25/1, Won a Chepstow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in spring 2022 and showed promise all 3 starts in novice company. However looks to have been given a steep-enough opening mark (well-held on handicap debut three weeks ago) and jockey booking would suggest he's the stable second-string. Well held over 2m4f last time; stamina to prove upped further in distance. |
|
|F| (7)  (18/1 -29%)Eloi Du Puy |
18/1(-29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Eloi Du Puy 18/1, Showed improvement switched to handicaps last term, racking up 4 wins (on testing ground) before finishing the season with a below-par effort when less-suited by the emphasis of speed on better ground. Course winner returns from 10-month absence and market should offer some clues. Record of 3-6 in Kelso handicaps but lacks recent match practice; market instructive. |
|
10th (4)  (16/1 +0%)Nordic Tiger |
16/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nordic Tiger 16/1, Successful 3 times last season and ran right up to form when fourth in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (19.4f, good) on return, but followed up that run with two uncharacteristically below-par efforts. Drops back to an easier-looking level and his record under Alice Stevens is solid. |
|
11th (12)  (40/1 -186%)Shantou Sunset |
40/1(-186%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Shantou Sunset 40/1, Fairly consistent mare when last seen, placing in a couple of handicap hurdles around Cartmel last summer. Veteran performer might just need the outing on reappearance. Placed at Cartmel in the summer; likely faces a stiffer assignment in this field. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although ROCHEVAL finished a well-beaten fourth on his seasonal bow in a Grade 2 at Haydock in November, a handicap mark of 118 could prove lenient. The Kapgarde gelding boasts plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this step up in distance could be the making of him. Champ Royal returned to form with a solid third at Catterick a fortnight ago and the nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of recent Wetherby winner Paddy O'Mahler.
With the yard in better form than they have been for most of the winter, it could pay to side with course winner FOSTER'SISLAND, who has shown glimpses of his old ability this campaign and should benefit from this drop in grade. Both Barrels would be a big danger if in the same form as when winning over C&D last season, while Stay If U Want To would appreciate it if this becomes a test of stamina.
Back down sharply in class, handicap debutant ROCHEVAL could well resume his improvement. Second choice is Stay If U Want To.

1st (1)  (11/10 +8%)We're Red And Blue |
11/10(+8%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) We're Red And Blue 11/10, Debut bumper winner was progressive in novice/maiden hurdles, looking a straightforward operator when making all to land a Carlisle maiden in November. Clearly not himself when pulled-up (having bled) on handicap debut and this looks a good opportunity (under a penalty) to regain his confidence. Best to forgive latest effort; won at Carlisle the time before; one of the main players. |
|
2nd (2)  (80/1 -60%)Blazer Two |
80/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blazer Two 80/1, Modest handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1½m) who ran to a similar level on hurdling debut before failing to see out his race when too keen at Newcastle last month. Could be one for handicaps down the line. Something to find on hurdles efforts. |
|
3rd (4)  (17/2 +47%)Burning It Up |
17/2(+47%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Burning It Up 17/2, Third on only outing in Irish points and showed a bit in bumper/maiden hurdles in recent months. However, he appeals as a likely longer-term project, including when tackling 2½m. Gives the impression he'll be more interesting when sent over longer trips. |
|
4th (6)  (9/4 -147%)Maitre En Science |
9/4(-147%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maitre En Science 9/4, Useful juvenile over 17f in France, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, with the form of his latest success at Clairefontaine in September having worked out particularly well. Failed to meet expectations on stable debut but is worth another chance back in calmer waters wearing first time tongue-tie. Progressive in France; major contender back down in class on second British start. |
|
5th (3)  (250/1 -25%)Bray Dale |
250/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bray Dale 250/1, Failed to meet expectations in bumpers for Nicky Richards and no promise in four starts for current yard. Opposable. Others have stronger claims on form. |
|
6th (7)  (200/1 -100%)Seeyainthesuninn |
200/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Seeyainthesuninn 200/1, Half-brother to numerous winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Zulu Oscar but didn't show enough in bumpers to make him of strong interest on hurdles debut. Hurdles debutant; has unconvincing bumper form. |
|
7th (5)  (125/1 +38%)Jersey Stream |
125/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jersey Stream 125/1, Hinted at ability when fifth of 12 in a Carlisle novice hurdle on debut in this sphere but subsequent display at Wetherby couldn't be described as a step forward. Best to look elsewhere. Not solid on form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Penalised winner We're Red And Blue bled from the nose when pulled up on his handicap bow at Ascot in December and he's likely to be in the thick of the action if performing to his best ability. However, it could be worth taking a chance on MAITRE EN SCIENCE leaving behind his fourth-placed British debut in a Listed hurdle at Musselburgh 13 days ago, with a first-time tongue-tie an interesting addition. Burning It Up may fare best of the remainder.
Both market principals arrive with something to prove, but WE'RE RED AND BLUE can bounce back under the same positive tactics that were employed when he was successful at Carlisle on his penultimate run. Maitre En Science is the standout danger and could be much better than he showed on stable debut. Burning It Up can collect some minor prize money on his way to contesting handicaps.
The pick on British achievements is WE'RE RED AND BLUE but Maitre En Science holds a similar chance if back to his French form.

1st (7)  (9/1 -13%)Bashful |
9/1(-13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bashful 9/1, Better than ever when landing a Musselburgh handicap hurdle for the second year in a row (13 days ago), having seemingly been laid out for the race. An 11 lb hike makes life tougher on his second run following wind surgery, but clearly in fine fettle at present. Raised 11lb for Musselburgh win but receives weight all round in this field. |
|
2nd (3)  (11/8 -51%)Wise Eagle |
11/8(-51%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wise Eagle 11/8, Very useful stayer on the Flat who has completed simple tasks returned to this sphere, landing maiden/novice races at Musselburgh/Catterick with loads in hand. Continued the good work when a solid second on the level last month and very interesting making handicap debut off potentially lenient mark. Two wins this term; useful on the Flat; looks well treated on handicap hurdle debut. |
|
3rd (1)  (17/2 -6%)Givemefive |
17/2(-6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Givemefive 17/2, Landed Cheltenham conditions race on return to hurdling in October. Respectable fourth in 2m Fairyhouse Grade 2 in November but made disappointing start to his handicap career when well held in valuable Windsor race won by Secret Squirrel. Cheekpieces worn on the Flat earlier in career go on now. Well beaten switched to open company last time but this is a drop back in grade. |
|
4th (6)  (15/2 +0%)Maghlaak |
15/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maghlaak 15/2, Fairly useful Flat performer who has been kept busy for a first-season hurdler, winning twice from 7 starts. Benefitted from a relatively short break/addition of first-time cheekpieces when bouncing back to form (fourth of 12, Musselburgh, 15.6f) 13 days ago. Should give another good account. Ran respectably with cheekpieces applied last time; fighting chance off same mark. |
|
|PU| (5)  (3/1 +57%)Coniston George |
3/1(+57%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coniston George 3/1, C&D winner has been running with credit since switch to handicaps at the back end of last term and given the impression that he'll be even better at 2½ miles. An emphasis on speed would count against him here but he remains of interest having performed respectably in similar races this season. Consistent in the main but gets little help from the assessor; 0-5 in handicaps. |
|
|PU| (2)  (13/2 +0%)Ginger Mail |
13/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ginger Mail 13/2, Consistent type who won over C&D last January and was also an excellent second in the valuable Morebattle Hurdle at this venue in March. Showed his versatility when winning over 2½ miles (soft) at Ayr last time, confirming he's as good as ever. No reason why he shouldn't run well again. Won at Ayr last month; has performed respectably in this race for the last two years. |
|
|PU| (4)  (33/1 +0%)Mack The Man |
33/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mack The Man 33/1, Veteran course winner who responded well to fitting of a visor, gaining a third win of 2024 at Ayr in November. Found his run of good form coming to a halt of late, finishing last at Musselburgh (15.6f) earlier this month. Others in better heart at present. Scored gamely off this mark in November but this is a better contest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
WISE EAGLE supplemented a double over timber when finishing a good second off a rating of 102 on the Flat at Newcastle last month. Adam Nicol's charge looks nicely treated on his handicap bow over hurdles and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. A wind procedure worked the oracle for recent Musselburgh winner Bashful, although an 11lb hike in the ratings seems harsh. With that in mind, a bigger danger could be fellow last-time-out winner Ginger Mail.
A smart stayer on the Flat, it would be disappointing if WISE EAGLE did not prove to be better than his current mark over hurdles. He's taken to make a successful handicap debut in this sphere, ahead of C&D winner Coniston George who will be hoping for a sound gallop at this trip. Consistent first season hurdler Maghlaak can run creditably once again.
On Flat form WISE EAGLE (nap) holds an outstanding chance off a mark of 123. Givemefive is second pick.

1st (3)  (4/1 -60%)El Elefante |
4/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) El Elefante 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning start to her chasing career in 2½m Worcester novice on return in October. Built on that at the third attempt when making all at Ayr last month and remains unexposed as a chaser. Made all in four-runner event at Ayr last month, taking chase record to 2-4; respected. |
|
2nd (4)  (15/8 +53%)Ned Tanner |
15/8(+53%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ned Tanner 15/8, Dual chase winner here as a novice. Progress stalled last season but back on track fitted with headgear/tongue tie when scoring at Haydock and backed that up with good second there 4 weeks ago, clear of rest. Respected up in class. Respectable form at Haydock since wearing cheekpieces; three-time Kelso scorer; solid. |
|
3rd (1)  (10/3 -48%)Imagine |
10/3(-48%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imagine 10/3, Looked an exciting chasing prospect when successful at Fairyhouse and Punchestown (Grade 2) last winter. Subsequently sold out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 320,000 euros but pulled up on yard debut in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham before shaping like a non-stayer at Haydock. This easier. Judged on best form he's interesting back down in trip/grade on third run for new yard. |
|
4th (2)  (9/4 +18%)Prairie Wolf |
9/4(+18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Prairie Wolf 9/4, Made a fine start over fences last season, winning 3 times. Struggled for form at start of current campaign but back with a bang when scoring at Haydock under this rider last month. Should remain competitive up 6 lb. Haydock win took his chase record to 4-10; however, back on career-high mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
All four of the declared runners look to have some sort of chance, with narrow preference for EL ELEFANTE. A slick-jumping mare who likes to get on with things, she looked to produce a career-best performance when winning over an extended 2m4f at Ayr latest and could prove difficult to peg back if given an easy time of it out in front. Recent Haydock scorer Prairie Wolf has done well here in the past (won and placed in two visits) and looks an obvious danger, while Ned Tanner and the class-dropping Imagine certainly aren't out of it either.
PRAIRIE WOLF was back to his best when successful at Haydock under this rider last month and appeals as the most solid option. El Elefante may get an uncontested lead here and rates the main threat having resumed progress/winning ways at Ayr last month.
Back down in distance/class, IMAGINE is taken to defy top weight. El Elefante, who may again dictate the pace, is feared most.

5/2(-67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Myretown 5/2, £135,000 buy after winning an Irish point. Winning hurdler but built for chasing and stepped up on chase bow/return when comfortable winner of 3-runner handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Looked sure to play a hand in the finish when falling 3 out at Windsor since and remains of interest. Registered a chase win at Wetherby on Boxing Day; faller at Windsor since. |
|
2nd (1)  (4/1 +27%)Dare To Shout |
4/1(+27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dare To Shout 4/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on a promising chase debut when landing a 4-runner contest at Carlisle. Excellent second behind a subsequent winner over C&D next time but was a remote second behind Grand Albert at Wetherby since. Beaten 25l by Grand Albert last time; consistent otherwise this term; may rebound. |
|
3rd (2)  (11/4 -69%)Grand Albert |
11/4(-69%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grand Albert 11/4, Winning Irish pointer who improved with each start over hurdles last term and built on an encouraging chase debut when scoring easily at Wetherby last time. Makes obvious appeal. Steadily progressive; beat Dare To Shout by 25l at Wetherby most recently; respected. |
|
|PU| (4)  (9/4 +63%)Gaillimh A Stor |
9/4(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gaillimh A Stor 9/4, Novice hurdle winner back in 2022. Very good placed efforts in handicap hurdles all 3 starts this season after a long absence, narrowly denied at Ayr the last twice. However, was let down by jumping when tried in this sphere in 2022/23 (fell on 2 out of 3 starts). Possibilities if transferring hurdles form back to fences; chase record reads F3F. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GRAND ALBERT has a consistent profile and looks to have improved for switching to fences this season, building on his third-placed effort behind Caldwell Potter at Carlisle when slamming the opposition, including 25-length second Dare To Shout, at Wetherby. The seven-year-old remains open to greater improvement and is fancied to confirm his superiority over the latter, despite meeting on 10lb worse terms. Myretown still held a narrow lead when falling three out at Windsor and the likely pacesetter cannot be ruled out here, nor can the lightly-weighted Gaillimh A Stor.
MYRETOWN was still going well when falling at a tricky fence at Windsor 4 weeks ago so remains a chaser to keep on the right side of. Grand Albert is another who has taken very well to this sphere and is the obvious threat after his wide-margin success at Wetherby.
The safest jumpers are GRAND ALBERT and Dare To Shout, who finished first and second in a similar event at Wetherby seven weeks ago.

1st (2)  (4/7 +62%)Primoz |
4/7(+62%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Primoz 4/7, Bookended his novice campaign over hurdles with victories at Ayr and perfect start in this sphere when scoring at Wetherby on return. Checked out rather tamely at Cheltenham next time before taking a heavy fall at Newbury but latest third of 4 at Ayr was a step back in the right direction. Good chance on his October success at Wetherby where he beat Pay The Piper. |
|
2nd (3)  (5/4 +75%)Escapeandevade |
5/4(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Escapeandevade 5/4, Took his form up a notch with cheekpieces enlisted last term, winning this race before bringing up the hat-trick over C&D final start. Disputing the lead when unseating rider 3 out at Wetherby on return but hasn't been in the same form since. No surprise if he bounced back in a change of headgear. Record of 2-3 over C&D includes a success in this race last year; on a handy mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
PAY THE PIPER was far from disgraced in third in a stronger contest at Wetherby in December and goes off an unchanged mark. With two previous C&D victories in the book, the veteran is likely to prove very tough to beat. Primoz struck at this level at Wetherby in October and finished a fair third at Ayr last month, so he has to be respected. Escapeandevade sports first-time blinkers and will need to bounce back after his sixth at Haydock.
Things haven't gone to plan for PRIMOZ since his promising chase debut win at Wetherby but his latest third at Ayr was at least a step back in the right direction and he has more potential than his 2 seasoned rivals. The reliable Pay The Piper is the solid alternative with last year' winner Escapeandevade arriving with a bit to prove.
Off a workable mark in new headgear, last year's winner ESCAPEANDEVADE is preferred.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kiwi Rush 2/1, Runner-up on second outing in Irish points, but in tongue strap for Rules debut he didn't find as much as he promised when sixth of 10 in bumper at Sandown (16f, good) in November. Could fare better this time around. Promise in Irish points; sixth at Sandown for new yard; pedigree suggests he'll do better. |

2nd (5)  (6/1 -200%)Japetus |
6/1(-200%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Japetus 6/1, 50,000 gns 3-y-o, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 6f/7f winner Zander. Dam, smart 7f-1¼m winner, half-sister to (1½m winner, including in USA) Renown. Has had breathing operation, but he's one to note on debut. 50,000gns 3yo; Flat bred; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive. |

3rd (1)  (4/1 +27%)Imperfectlyperfect |
4/1(+27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imperfectlyperfect 4/1, €88,000 3-y-o, £70,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over fences, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-3m winner) Golan Fortune. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 17). Respected. Clear second in latest Irish point; interesting and helps to give his yard a strong hand. |

4th (3)  (15/8 +63%)Kool Raoul |
15/8(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kool Raoul 15/8, Showed plenty to work on when second of 7 in bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) on debut in November, keeping on having been outpaced early in straight. Can make his presence felt with that experience behind him. Promising second under Conner McCann at Musselburgh 11 weeks ago; open to progress. |
|
5th (7)  (18/1 -125%)Miss Friday Lions |
18/1(-125%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miss Friday Lions 18/1, Attracted support (10/1) and offered something to work on when fourth of 9 in mares' maiden bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, slow) on debut 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort having raced freely early. Could take a step forward. Flat-bred 4yo filly; showed ability in AW contest at Newcastle; gets all the allowances. |
|
6th (6)  (22/1 +67%)Lester Mail |
22/1(+67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lester Mail 22/1, Yard has had success with this family, but he made little impact first time up when eighth of 14 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy) last month. Likely to need more time. Never on terms at Ayr and may be one for further down the line. |
|
7th (4)  (80/1 -471%)Wild Reiver |
80/1(-471%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wild Reiver 80/1, Starting out in a hood, ran as if in need of the outing for fitness and experience when last of 6 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good to soft) in November, edging left before weakening over 1f out. Has had a breathing operation since. Plenty to find on his Ayr effort; had wind surgery since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KOOL RAOUL stayed on to finish second on his debut at Musselburgh in November and is likely to have plenty of improvement in him. This looks like a winnable assignment and even a repeat of that display might be good enough to get off the mark. Miss Friday Lions finished a respectable fourth at Newcastle last month and with normal progression, she could have a say. Any market support for newcomer Japetus would be interesting.
This could go to a debutant, with preference for JAPETUS whose yard has been going well in bumpers, including with a couple of winners first time up. Irish point runner-up Imperfectlyperfect also represents a trainer who enjoys success in this sphere, with Kool Raoul the pick of those with previous bumper experience.
Preference is for KIWI RUSH who switches to an easier-looking level and is likely to improve on his Sandown effort.

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.
