1st (2)  (8/11 +34%)Captain Marvellous |
8/11(+34%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Captain Marvellous 8/11, Masked Marvel gelding who made a promising start to his career when second of 12 over C&D 5 weeks ago. That form has been boosted and he stands a good chance of going one better now. Made a promising debut in stronger race over C&D five weeks ago; holds leading claims. |
|
2nd (4)  (22/1 -450%)Great Valley |
22/1(-450%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Great Valley 22/1, Related to numerous winners and hinted at ability prior to running out at Hereford on debut. Should have learned from that experience. Under pressure when running out at the final flight in Hereford contest on debut. |
|
3rd (1)  (16/1 -256%)Billytherealbigred |
16/1(-256%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Billytherealbigred 16/1, From the family of useful chaser Storm Control. Promise when second on his Stratford debut last month. Unseated early at Hereford a fortnight later. Showed some promise at Stratford; unseated rider early at Hereford later in October. |
|
4th (6)  (2/1 +50%)Push To Pass |
2/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Push To Pass 2/1, Pillar Coral gelding. Dam unraced, out of sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser Better Times Ahead. Interesting newcomer with Harry Cobden up for this in-form yard. £8,000 2yo; interesting debutant with Harry Cobden booked. |
|
|F| (3)  (17/2 -13%)Goodwin Face |
17/2(-13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Goodwin Face 17/2, Half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners. One to note the betting on debut. Half-brother to two hurdle winners; one of two newcomers in the field; market helpful. |
|
|PU| (5)  (200/1 +20%)No Guarantee |
200/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) No Guarantee 200/1, Well held in 2 bumpers this autumn and a likely outsider now hurdling. Well down the field in two bumpers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS displayed plenty of promise when finishing second on his debut over C&D last month and the son of Masked Marvel could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Goodwin Face is related to plenty of winners and has to be of interest on his racecourse bow, while Push To Pass and Billytherealbigred are others to note.
The C&D race CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS was second in on debut has thrown up a few winners so Jane Williams' charge should take a bit of stopping if making the anticipated improvement. Stratford runner-up Billytherealbigred is the one likely to follow him home unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Harry Derham newcomer Push To Pass.
Ready preference is for CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS, who sets a solid standard on his C&D effort. Billytherealbigred is second choice.

11/4(-46%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Secret Squirrel 11/4, Fairly useful form shown when landing bumpers at Taunton and Fontwell in the spring. Very much one to consider on his hurdles debut. Won good-ground bumpers at Taunton and Fontwell; promising sort for novice hurdles. |
|
2nd (2)  (10/3 -11%)Dancing In Brazil |
10/3(-11%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dancing In Brazil 10/3, Fairly useful winner at 14f in bumpers. In midfield when unseated rider 4 out in novice at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Remains with potential in this sphere. Unseated rider on hurdles debut; remains a likely player judged on bumper form. |
|
3rd (8)  (125/1 -25%)Thank You Ma'am |
125/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Thank You Ma'am 125/1, Runner-up sole start in point bumpers but behind in Exeter bumper and Chepstow novice hurdle since. Placed in point/rules bumpers; beaten long way on debut over hurdles. |
|
4th (10)  (2/1 +20%)Floating Line |
2/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Floating Line 2/1, 9/1, promising second of 11 in bumper at Fakenham 7 months ago on sole run for Olly Murphy. Interesting prospect now going over hurdles for her new yard. Runner-up in Fakenham bumper for Olly Murphy; open to progress; interesting. |
|
5th (1)  (33/1 -175%)Borodale |
33/1(-175%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Borodale 33/1, Showed some promise when fifth at Uttoxeter on his hurdling debut but brought down after 4 out in novice at Fakenham (16f, soft 26 days ago. Can't be ruled out. Has the best hurdles form but that effort is modest; brought down last time. |
|
6th (3)  (10/1 +9%)Highway One O Five |
10/1(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Highway One O Five 10/1, Fair form first two runs in bumpers but he came in last of 15 in bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft, 16/1) 30 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Not written off for good yard. Form dipped sharply at Cheltenham (back from layoff) on latest bumper start. |
|
7th (4)  (25/1 -79%)Jolyjump |
25/1(-79%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jolyjump 25/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Stable’s first-timers always command respect, especially if supported in the market. 40,000euros 3yo; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive. |
|
8th (9)  (40/1 +0%)The Cox Express |
40/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Cox Express 40/1, Won bumper at Warwick in January for Tom Lacey but has run poorly over hurdles at Catterick and Chepstow (for new yard) since. Lots more is needed. Form of bumper win lacks strength; well held in maiden hurdles since. |
|
9th (7)  (150/1 -20%)Spicy Nelson |
150/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spicy Nelson 150/1, Has offered little on both his hurdling runs thus far, pulled up in novice at Lingfield (19.5f) 9 months ago. Hard to warm to. Holds poor claims on his form shown last winter. |
|
|F| (5)  (11/2 +31%)Perfect Nelson |
11/2(+31%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Perfect Nelson 11/2, Fair form when twice runner-up in bumpers in Ireland for Peter Fahey in May. Shaped as if in need of the run after 5 months off when fading sixth in Wincanton novice hurdle so needs considering. Solid chance on Irish bumper form; soft ground was an excuse on hurdles debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Floating Line is likely to be popular having filled second place in a Fakenham NH Flat race on her debut in April. She has since switched from Olly Murphy to Nicky Henderson but the form is not very strong and preference is for SECRET SQUIRREL, who won both of his outings in bumpers. Cases can be made for most of the remainder, but Dancing In Brazil and Borodale are arguably the pick of them.
The market should reveal plenty here. FLOATING LINE makes her hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson having gone with some promise when a debut bumper runner-up for Olly Murphy and edges the vote. Secret Squirrel went 2-2 in bumpers last spring so is feared most now starting out in this sphere, although fellow newcomers Jolyjump and Highway One O Five also warrant plenty of respect along with Dancing In Brazil who unseated his rider at Wincanton on his hurdling bow.
Promising SECRET SQUIRREL is taken to remain unbeaten. Perfect Nelson is second choice.

1st (1)  (9/2 +44%)Bourbali |
9/2(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bourbali 9/2, A fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles but his saddle slipped when pulled up in novice chase at Exeter (19.2f, soft, 11/4) on his debut over fences 7 days ago. Well worth another chance. Saddle slipped last week on chase debut; something to find with these rivals on ratings. |
|
2nd (2)  (1/7 +65%)First Street |
1/7(+65%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Street 1/7, Very useful winning hurdler who resumed on the back of a wind op with a creditable third in Listed hurdle here last month. Interesting chase debutant for top yard. Top on ratings, having shown useful form over hurdles; commands respect on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FIRST STREET was a high-class handicapper over timber and managed to chase home State Man in the County Hurdle back in March 2022. The six-year-old confirmed his well-being with a respectable third in a Listed event here last month and he is going to be hard to beat if transferring that ability to fences. Harbour Lake ran well in some valuable events last season and should not be underestimated, while Bourbali needs to improve but merits some consideration.
The vote goes to FIRST STREET who was the best of these over hurdles and arrives on the back of a solid reappearance third in a listed event here. Harbour Lake appeals as the sort to do well in this sphere, with Bourbali not discounted either.
Judged on hurdles form FIRST STREET has the best chance, followed by fellow chase debutant Harbour Lake then Bourbali.

6/5(+31%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Destroytheevidence 6/5, Struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in 23f Worcester novice in May and added to his tally in a 21f course novice last month. Unexposed now switching to handicap company. Took well to first-time cheekpieces in novice contest here five weeks ago; respected. |
|
2nd (2)  (9/1 -170%)Della Casa Lunga |
9/1(-170%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Della Casa Lunga 9/1, Steadily progressive novice hurdler for Sam Curling in Ireland last term but below that form in 2 outings for new yard this autumn. Remains to be seen whether this significantly longer trip helps. Nowhere near his Irish form in two starts for new yard; bit to prove under big weight. |
|
3rd (5)  (9/2 +18%)Baddesley |
9/2(+18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Baddesley 9/2, Second hurdle success when making light of a 6-month absence at Plumpton (20.5f) 3 weeks ago. Overall record raises doubts about him backing that up but he still looks on a workable mark. Won at Plumpton last time; ran well over fences here on sole 3m attempt; interesting. |
|
4th (3)  (10/3 -33%)Ballintubber Boy |
10/3(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballintubber Boy 10/3, Won twice at up to 23f last season. Pulled up on first 2 outings this term but bounced back to form with a bang to score over 25f at Huntingdon last month. 5 lb rise won't prevent a prominent showing if turning up in a similar mood. Made all for clearcut win at Huntingdon seven weeks ago, bouncing back to form; player. |
|
|PU| (4)  (6/1 +40%)Stans The Man |
6/1(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stans The Man 6/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner last season and also second in Ffos Las handicap hurdle on final start. Didn't take to chasing on reappearance but may fare better back over the smaller obstacles. Still unexposed over hurdles but faces a difficult task against three recent winners. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE had plenty in hand when winning a novice hurdle over 2m5f here last month and, given he wasn't fully extended that day and already has proven stamina, he is fancied to cope with today's additional yardage. The Kim Bailey-trained gelding debuts in a handicap off a very workable mark and looks open to a tad more progression than the likes of recent Huntingdon winner Ballintubber Boy and Baddesley, who returns to this trip after winning off 3lb lower at Plumpton three weeks ago.
DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE will need some improvement to defy an opening handicap mark in the low-120s but his unexposed profile provides the hope for better and he's preferred to last-time-out winners Baddesley and Ballintubber Boy.
Improving novice hurdler DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE could well defy top weight. Baddesley and Ballintubber Boy look the dangers.

7/2(-27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coquelicot 7/2, Won a pair of handicap hurdles at up to 3m this time last year and also a fine second over C&D at the Christmas meeting. Warmed up for this with a good runner-up effort on the Flat at the beginning of the month. Yard in form. Should go well. Ran well over C&D last December and looks a solid contender back here. |
|
2nd (2)  (4/7 +29%)Kateira |
4/7(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kateira 4/7, Three-time novice hurdle winner last season and excellent second in 2½m Grade 1 novice at Aintree final start. Well below that form when 19 lengths third in 2m Wetherby listed race on reappearance but the one to beat if back close to her best. Stamina an unknown. Leading chance if back on song and staying this new trip; has Grade 1 form. |
|
3rd (3)  (40/1 -300%)Martha Brae |
40/1(-300%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Martha Brae 40/1, Consistent in handicaps last season, including a win at Hereford (25f) in March. Shaped as if better for the run when well-held sixth of 11 on 3m Newbury reappearance. Has a bit to find at this level even if back to her best. Stone inferior to stablemate Kateira on ratings; faces a difficult task. |
|
4th (4)  (13/2 +13%)Sabrina |
13/2(+13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sabrina 13/2, Enjoyed a productive 2022/23 campaign, culminating with a 3m handicap win at the Ayr Scottish National meeting in April. This consistent type can be expected to give her running on reappearance. Emphatic win at Ayr when last seen; represents last year's winning connections. |
|
5th (5)  (14/1 -40%)Space Voyage |
14/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Space Voyage 14/1, Took very well to hurdling last term, winning 3 small-field novice events. Failed to take to chasing on reappearance but quickly back on track when third of 8 in 21f Wincanton handicap hurdle in a first-time tongue tie (retained) 16 days ago. Ready for a crack at 3m and remains open to further improvement; possibilities. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
KATEIRA progressed well last season, with her final run seeing her finish second to Irish Point in an Aintree Grade 1, and Dan Skelton's mare is expected to leave behind her return effort when a well-beaten third at Wetherby. The step up to 3m is another potential avenue for improvement and this appears an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways. Coquelicot won't lack for fitness having run with credit in a Newmarket handicap at the start of the month and appears the main danger, although Sabrina won in great style at Ayr in the spring and may have more to offer.
Anthony Honeyball has his team in good form so a chance is taken on COQEULICOT getting the better of Kateira, who is a clear form pick based on her second in a 2½m Grade 1 novice at Aintree last season but was below that level on her reappearance and also has stamina to prove now stepping up significantly in trip.
Kateira is respected on her peak effort but SPACE VOYAGE is an interesting alternative and Sabrina is another appealing type.

11/4(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Our Jet 11/4, Had breathing op and got back on track when third of 10 in handicap chase at Newbury (19.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and this fairly useful 2m4f winner needs considering. Sound surface would aid his chance (2-3 on good ground); cheekpieces added. |
|
2nd (1)  (6/4 +25%)Thelasthighking |
6/4(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thelasthighking 6/4, Ended last season on the up with wins at Wincanton and Southwell and resumed with an excellent second of 7 in handicap chase here (18f, good, 9/2) 36 days ago. Big shout once more. Clear second in similar event here five weeks ago; may well improve further; respected. |
|
3rd (2)  (10/1 -25%)Before Midnight |
10/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Before Midnight 10/1, Made an encouraging start for this yard (previously trained by Sam Thomas) when fourth at Chepstow but only ninth at Cheltenham reverted to chasing last month. Needs to get back on track. Possibly on the wane but this drop back in grade may help; third run for new yard. |
|
4th (6)  (20/1 -233%)Amoola Gold |
20/1(-233%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amoola Gold 20/1, Multiple winner over fences who also scored twice over hurdles last term at Huntingdon and Chepstow. Can't be ruled out back chasing for his seasonal return. Both wins last season came over hurdles; hasn't won over fences since 2020. |
|
5th (3)  (9/2 +63%)Gloire D'athon |
9/2(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gloire D'athon 9/2, Enjoyed a fine campaign last season but he was pulled up in Newbury handicap chase after 4 months off last time. Has a bit to prove now. Interesting granted a sound surface; 3-4 in handicap chases on good ground. |
|
|PU| (5)  (7/1 -100%)Mullinaree |
7/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mullinaree 7/1, Form has taken off since equipped with a hood and tongue strap combination, completing a five-timer at Hexham (20.1f) in June. Below-par fifth after 4 months off at Chepstow last month on his final run for Milton Harris but he's the sort to bounce back. Progressive in handicaps over hurdles; could go well on chase/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
OUR JET looked in need of his first run of the season when third at Newbury earlier in the month and the addition of cheekpieces for the first time aids his cause further. Thelasthighking has to enter calculations following his second here over 2m2f, while Mullinaree is an interesting chase debutant having won five on the bounce over hurdles earlier in the year.
THELASTHIGHKING is on an upward curve and fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent reappearance second here. Dan Skelton's pair Our Jet and Amoola Gold rate the main threats and can chase him home in that order.
Having posted a good effort here last month, THELASTHIGHKING (nap) holds particularly strong claims. Our Jet is second choice.

11/2(-10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brookie 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland and better than ever when making a winning start for new trainer Anthony Honeyball in 4-runner Fontwell handicap hurdle in October. Folded tamely in a deeper race at Newbury since, though. Comfortably beat two of these rivals at Fontwell (stable debut) on penultimate outing. |
|

16/1(-14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amelia's Dance 16/1, Added to an excellent record at Taunton when winning in a small field last December. Lost her way in the spring but back on song after a break when second of 10 at Wincanton last month. Has done her winning off lower marks in lower grades; this looks a tough task. |
|
3rd (4)  (10/3 +26%)Tapley |
10/3(+26%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tapley 10/3, Bounced back to form with a bang with a career-best effort to see off 12 rivals over C&D a fortnight ago. That was a well-contested race and he should remain competitive after a 6 lb rise. Bounced back to form in C&D contest two weeks ago, winning under Elizabeth Gale; respected. |
|
4th (3)  (16/1 -60%)Samuel Spade |
16/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Samuel Spade 16/1, Fair juvenile hurdler last season but had gone the wrong way when last seen in the spring. A 6-month break needs to have had a reviving effect. Possibilities on last winter's form that included a C&D success. |
|
5th (7)  (5/1 +29%)Oslo |
5/1(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Oslo 5/1, Won a Market Rasen maiden and 2m handicap at Worcester in summer 2022. Showed he retains all his ability back from an absence when just edged out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in August. That form has been franked and big player if he can keep the errors down (tends to make mistakes). Unlucky second at Uttoxeter last time out (final-flight error perhaps cost him a win). |
|
6th (2)  (14/1 -40%)In This World |
14/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) In This World 14/1, Looked promising when winning on Flat and over hurdles in 2021 but not seen again until a remote third at Stratford in March of this year. Pulled up over 21f here the following month and absent again since. Top yard perseveres but could only consider if backed. Very lightly raced; gelded since last run; may yet confirm the promise of his 2021 win. |
|
7th (9)  (7/2 -5%)Small Bad Bob |
7/2(-5%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Small Bad Bob 7/2, Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Paul Henderson and struck over hurdles at just the second time of asking for new trainer Chris Gordon at Plumpton last month. Raised 7 lb but he won off a higher mark earlier in his career. Interesting. In form; scored comfortably under Freddie Gordon at Plumpton last time; solid contender. |
|

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Estacas 22/1, Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m) in May and runner-up on next 2 outings. Predictably struggled in good-quality events on the Flat over the summer and only eighth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (19f, soft) on hurdle return 23 days ago. Looks vulnerable at this level, judged on the balance of his form. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Toothless 13/2, Dual 2m hurdles winner last season. Disappointing on Plumpton reappearance but much better with a tongue tie refitted (retained) when fifth of 12 over 21f at Ludlow 18 days ago, fading late on as if this return to a shorter trip will suit. Disappointing sort but could revive off this reduced mark back down in trip. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Tapley stepped forward considerably from his previous couple of performances when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago, but a 6lb rise will make life tougher for him. Oslo's second at Uttoxeter in August gives him every chance of being in the mix, while any market support for In This World would make him of interest. The vote, though, goes to SAMUEL SPADE, who showed promise as a juvenile and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back from his efforts in the spring.
TOOTHLESS was bang there until his stamina appeared to give out over 21f at Ludlow and gets the nod back at 2m having been eased another 2 lb since. Small Bad Bob has made a positive start to his time with Chris Gordon and remains well treated on old form so he's second choice ahead of Oslo, who can make mistakes but is more than capable off his mark.
The percentage call goes to TAPLEY, who took well to this circuit two weeks ago. Small Bad Bob is second choice.

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.

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.
