1st (4)  (5/6 +53%)Goldwyn |
5/6(+53%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Goldwyn 5/6, Fairly useful hurdler. Excellent second of 10 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy, 7/2) 42 days ago. Leading player. Ex-Irish; placed on both starts for this yard, over 2m and 2m4f; chance. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 -27%)Breizh River |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Breizh River 7/2, Fair hurdler. 22/1, very good second of 12 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 21 days ago. Solid form claims. Promise in bumpers and over hurdles, best run when second at Carlisle last time; possible. |
|||
3rd (10)  (4/1 +60%)Rattling Road |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rattling Road 4/1, £40,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in April 2022. Has shown promise both hurdling runs, fifth of 12 in 2m1f novice at Carlisle on latter occasion. Can do better still. Irish point winner; fifth in two novice hurdles, latest over 2m1f at Carlisle; chance. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -560%)L'allier |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) L'allier 66/1, Debut fifth in bumper for Gavin Cromwell last summer. Offered little in similar company on sole run for Christine Dunnett but came in fourth of 10 in novice at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy, 100/1) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Needs to build on it. Modest in two bumpers; better run when 4th on stable/hurdles debut; worth considering. |
|||
5th (11)  (25/1 -213%)Sovereign Star |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sovereign Star 25/1, Placed in Irish points back in 2022 but too free when last of 6 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy) on NH debut 31 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Remains with potential though. Placed in two Irish points but last in an Ayr bumper on stable debut; more needed. |
|||
6th (6)  (200/1 -300%)Horsesomeharry |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Horsesomeharry 200/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy, 25/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. Big step forward is required. Dam placed in 2m-2m5f hurdles; pulled up at 25-1 on Warwick debut; likely improver. |
|||
7th (15)  (200/1 -203%)Lillistar |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Lillistar 200/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Harry & Roger Charlton but well held over hurdles at Wetherby and Newcastle this year. Lots more is required. Modest Flat performer; needs to improve on his two runs over hurdles to get involved. |
|||
8th (12)  (22/1 -57%)The Best Way |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The Best Way 22/1, Promising bumper fourth in spring 2022. Looks to be being brought along steadily in this sphere, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 31 days ago when not knocked about. Sort to do better in the longer term. Better of two runs over hurdles when fourth at Ayr last month; each-way contender. |
|||
9th (7)  (100/1 +0%)Jysuis |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jysuis 100/1, Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers in France. 150/1, tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) on UK debut 60 days ago. Placed in three bumpers in France; tailed off on hurdle/stable debut; needs to improve. |
|||
10th (1)  (50/1 -257%)Aldbourne |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aldbourne 50/1, Fair winner at 10f on Flat. Sixth of 10 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Ayr (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Can do better in due course. Dual 1m2f Flat winner in 2022; some promise in two runs over hurdles; improvement needed. |
|||
11th (5)  (28/1 -40%)Haarar |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Haarar 28/1, Fairly useful 13f Flat winner for Michael Bell. Can't be ruled out now going hurdling for shrewd connections. Dual Flat winner who was bought for 6,000gns in October; probably best watched this time. |
|||
12th (14)  (100/1 -203%)Cosmic Soul |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Cosmic Soul 100/1, Fair maiden on Flat for James Horton. Has failed to beat a rival in Cheltenham Grade 2 and Market Rasen juvenile in this sphere though. Quite useful on the Flat; well beaten over hurdles so far but a likely improver. |
|||
13th (3)  (100/1 -300%)Forest Blaze |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Forest Blaze 100/1, Fourth of 12 in bumper (15/2) at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) on NH debut 23 days ago. Much respectd on his hurdles debut. 15-2 when 33l fourth in a Newcastle bumper on debut (2m1f, heavy); more needed. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (8/1 -60%)Bodygroove |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Bodygroove 8/1, Fair staying handicapper on Flat. Sold from Richard Spencer for 12,000 gns in October and shaped well on his hurdling bow when second in 2m1f Carlisle maiden last month. In the picture. 1m6f AW Flat winner; good second at Carlisle on hurdles debut; improvement likely; chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Representing the in-form Mark Walford yard, GOLDWYN posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up at Newcastle last month. A similar performance may prove sufficient for the seven-year-old in this weaker-looking affair, with the main threat possibly coming in the shape of Breizh River, who has 6lb to find with the selection on the ratings but further improvement cannot be ruled out. Bodygroove and Rattling Road are also worth a second look.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Mark Walford's fairly useful GOLDWYN looks to have been found a very good opportunity to open his account. Breizh River is another with some solid form to his name and next on the list. Bodygroove also enters calculations if, as expected, building on his Carlisle debut second.
The vote goes to the ex-Irish GOLDWYN, who has run two sound races since joining Mark Walford. Bodygroove may chase him home.

1st (1)  (6/1 -100%)Art Of Diplomacy |
6/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Art Of Diplomacy 6/1, Fair Flat winner who made a bright start over hurdles for Dr Newland during 2021/22 season, winning twice and filling runners-up spot on 3 occasions either side of those victories. 2-year absence to overcome here but he's certainly a player if ready to roll down in grade. Quite a useful staying hurdle two seasons ago; back from a long break; interesting. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/4 +22%)Made For You |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Made For You 7/4, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who ran well when third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (15.5f) in January. Subsequent Sandown run was a lesser display but return to further/drop in class won't inconvenience him and better anticipated with blinkers refitted. Fair third in 2m h'cap in November; stays this trip; blinkers back on; a possible. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/2 -17%)Marshalled |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Marshalled 7/2, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and better than ever when doubling tally over fences for new yard at Cartmel (21f) in August. Pair of chase efforts since turn of the year have lacked same spark but no forlorn hope back over hurdles/eased in grade. Better over fences, last win being in a h'cap chase in August; best form on faster ground. |
|||
4th (3)  (2/1 +27%)Foveros |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Foveros 2/1, Mixed record for Willie Mullins but seems to be finding his feet for new yard, again finding only one too good in 6-runner Catterick claimer (15.7f) 3 weeks ago. Should give another good account back up in trip. Ex-Mullins; not the force of old; fair runs in claimers last twice; lacks a recent win. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (25/1 -56%)Barncroft |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barncroft 25/1, Still a maiden following 9 attempts over hurdles but back on the right track on second start for present yard when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) in November. Disappointing at Lingfield sole start since in February and work to do on these terms. Tongue strap on 1st time. 0-11 but decent second at Uttoxeter in November; down in grade with tongue-tie tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although Marshalled arrives as the highest-rated contender in this selling event, he hasn't been seen over hurdles since June 2022. His two performances over fences this year have lacked spark so it may be worth taking a chance on MADE FOR YOU instead. Olly Murphy's charge is capable on his day and a return to this stiffer test of stamina could be enough for him to land the spoils. Foveros arrives in good heart and is a viable alternative.
MADE FOR YOU needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Sandown on his latest outing but the step back up in trip/ease in class are both positives and he could be the answer with the refitting of blinkers also likely to put an extra edge on him. Art of Diplomacy is another to consider despite a lengthy absence to overcome. Foveros completes the shortlist.
This can go to MADE FOR YOU, who handles these conditions and hails from a stable with a good record in sellers.

1st (2)  (9/4 -63%)Royal Mer |
9/4(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Royal Mer 9/4, Is proving consistent over fences this season, scoring at Ffos Las in November and Leicester in January/earlier this month. 6 lb rise for his latest success to cope with but fancied to be in the shake-up once again. Improved for fences with three wins this term, latest off 6lb lower last time; chance. |
|||
2nd (6)  (17/2 +39%)Contre Ordre |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Contre Ordre 17/2, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase in November. Not in the same form since and is best watched following his lamentable display at Newcastle (16.3f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. Sedgefield winner in November; well below par last twice; others appeal more. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/4 +39%)Beat The Edge |
11/4(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Beat The Edge 11/4, Should have won at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, turning it in once hitting the front, but left a lesser effort behind when third at Catterick (15.7f, soft) last month. Not so good 5 days later at Doncaster but now 4 lb lower and scored over C&D this time last year. Only career win was in this race in 2023 (soft); now 5lb lower; should go well again. |
|||
4th (4)  (12/1 +0%)Sword Of Fate |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sword Of Fate 12/1, Front runner who capitalised on a drop in grade when scoring over fences at Perth in August and backed that up with good second at Cartmel. However, not been in same form since (including over hurdles on penultimate start) and remains 3 lb higher than when winning this last year. Tough; fair third on soft over 2m3f here last time; ideally needs faster ground. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/4 +39%)Harel Du Marais |
11/4(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Harel Du Marais 11/4, Still looking for his first win but it's been promising for new yard this winter, not disgraced by any means (also jumped well) when fourth on chase debut at Leicester (15.9f) in January. Booked for third when coming down late at Sedgefield since but can feature with a hood reapplied. Placed on 5 of 12 starts over hurdles; pulled hard on chase debut; hood tried; interesting. |
|||
6th (7)  (33/1 -65%)Getaway Jewel |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getaway Jewel 33/1, Now 3 lb lower than when a ready winner of 2m Southwell handicap last summer but that, like the majority of his best form, was on ground faster than is forecast here. Shown nothing on both recent starts so it's easy to look elsewhere. Runner-up at Kelso in September; below par since; best on good ground; best watched. |
|||
|F| (5)  (16/1 -100%)Maskia |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Maskia 16/1, Modest form over hurdles but seemed to excel himself when just failing in 3-runner novice handicap chase at Uttoxeter in June 2022. Rather predictably failed to back that up 3 weeks later and hasn't been seen since. Placed both starts over fences in the summer of 2022; off since; may need the run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROYAL MER relished the drop in distance when regaining the winning thread over 2m at Leicester. A 6lb rise looks far from insurmountable and a fourth victory of the season could beckon. Although beaten when coming to grief at Sedgefield, Harel Du Marais performed with enough credit to suggest that he can pose a danger in this event. He may give the selection most to think about, ahead of C&D scorer Beat The Edge.
HAREL DU MARAIS produced a promising first effort over the larger obstacles when fourth at Leicester in January so, provided he's none the worse for his last fence fall at Sedgefield last time, Mark Walford's 7-y-o can come out on top at the expense of fellow grey Royal Mer, who has enjoyed a productive campaign and has a career-high mark to overcome as a result. Previous C&D winner Beat The Edge comes with risks attached but he can fill out third.
The in-form Royal Mer should go well but preference is for last year's winner BEAT THE EDGE, who is well handicapped at present.

1st (11)  (13/2 +0%)Montregard |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Montregard 13/2, Opened his account at the second attempt in a novice at Warwick around this time last year. Made mistakes when only sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle 96 days ago but cheekpieces on and could make an impact if cutting out the errors. Disappointing on sole run this season but remains very lightly raced and retains potential. |
|||
2nd (6)  (7/2 +36%)Magical King |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Magical King 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who gained a deserved first success when landing a novice at this course a month ago. There's not much to suggest he's better than this mark, though. Merely fifth in two previous handicaps but got off the mark in C&D novice last month. |
|||
3rd (9)  (9/1 +0%)Al Kalila |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Al Kalila 9/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers and going the right way over hurdles, improving again when second at Ayr last time. Handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark, though. Unexposed 5yo who has shown promise and is open to improvement now moving into handicaps. |
|||
4th (8)  (5/1 +29%)Knowwhentoholdem |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Knowwhentoholdem 5/1, 4/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f, soft) 26 days ago, readily. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Charlton. Excellent claims. Won easily at Newbury four weeks ago and a 5lb rise might not be enough to stop him. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/1 -43%)Willsburg |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Willsburg 10/1, Progressive sort who got off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las in February. Looked set to go close had he not fallen in a novice here since and opening mark looks reasonable, so definite player. Good front-running form the last twice and he brings potential to his handicap debut. |
|||
6th (5)  (10/1 -67%)Good Look Charm |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Good Look Charm 10/1, Made a winning return to hurdles in 21f Wincanton handicap on reappearance and better form when reaching the frame on next 3 starts. Has a blip at Kempton to put behind her but can't be ruled out. Below-par eighth at Kempton recently but she's a player on her consistent winter form. |
|||
7th (1)  (6/1 -50%)Yes Day |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Yes Day 6/1, 5/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 40 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can give another good account. Good third at Haydock on h'cap debut and wind op since; one to consider back down in grade. |
|||
8th (4)  (50/1 -400%)Blue Fin |
50/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Blue Fin 50/1, Hurdles winner who shaped promisingly when runner-up on return/chase debut at Carlisle (20f) in November. Disappointed both starts since, however and reverts to smaller obstacles now. The return to hurdles could help but he has something to prove regarding current form. |
|||
9th (10)  (9/1 +25%)Chatshow Tv |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Chatshow Tv 9/1, Runner-up sole start in points and encouraging Rules debut when third behind a couple of useful types in 19f Warwick novice (heavy) in November. Hasn't built on that since. 3m may have stretched him on handicap debut but he has to improve upon earlier form, too. |
|||
|F| (3)  (10/1 +9%)Idem |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Idem 10/1, Has made a bright start over hurdles, impressive as he quickened clear under a hands-and-heels ride at Kelso (over 21f) in September. Just respectable fourth at Ascot next time and hasn't been for 4 months. Fair fourth at Ascot on handicap debut; remains unexposed and is in good hands to progress. |
|||
10th (12)  (33/1 -50%)Hawkseye View |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Hawkseye View 33/1, Successful sole completed start in points but only modest form to date over hurdles and sizeable step forward needed. Failed to threaten on handicap debut at Sedgefield and needs to raise his game. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A faller at the last when leading in a novice hurdle here over the extended 2m3f last month, WILLSBURG now moves in the handicap ranks and is taken to overturn form with the arguably fortuitous winner Magical King on 4lb better terms. Stepping up in trip is another plus and it may be that the class-dropping Yes Day and Newbury winner Knowwhentoholdem give him the most to think about. Good Look Charm and Idem are plenty capable on their day as well.
KNOWWHENTOHOLDEM improved to score readily against more exposed types at Newbury last time and he's joined an in-form yard since, so he gets the nod over Yes Day, who looks sure to give another good account. Willsburg also warrants a mention.
Preference is for AL KALILA, an unexposed 5yo who is open to improvement on his handicap debut. Knowwhentoholdem is a danger.

1st (2)  (4/7 +0%)Imperial Alex |
4/7(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Alex 4/7, Winning hurdler who has made up into a better chaser this season, gaining a deserved first success over fences when scoring easily in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 11 days ago. The one to beat under a penalty. Off the mark over fences in commanding fashion recently; well treated under 7lb penalty. |
|||
2nd (5)  (25/1 +24%)Ballynagran |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballynagran 25/1, Notched second success when landing a Hexham handicap chase (24.2f, good to soft) last May. However, he's struggled for form subsequently, well held reverted to hurdling at this course last month. Visor now reached for back over fences. Won last May but pulled up or tailed off on all six starts since. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -9%)Taste The Fear |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Taste The Fear 6/1, Fairly useful winning chaser last season and stepped up on his reappearance when third at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) in January. Wasn't in the same form last time, but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this longer trip. Flopped last time but fair third previously and now 6lb lower; not ruled out. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 -33%)Pats Dream |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pats Dream 8/1, Made the frame both starts in Irish points and shaped better than over hurdles when third at Kelso (23.4f, heavy) on his chasing debut in October. However, was behind when unseating rider at the last at Newcastle the following month. Cheekpieces on first time. Didn't shine last time but has had a break since; encouraging chase debut previously. |
|||
|F| (6)  (8/1 -23%)Sigurd |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sigurd 8/1, Three-time C&D winner and ran one of his better recent races when third of 6 in handicap chase here (heavy) a month ago. Task is now to back up his latest effort. 5lb out of handicap but this 3-time C&D winner has each-way claims in race lacking depth. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (12/1 +25%)Danilo D'airy |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Danilo D'airy 12/1, Won first 3 starts in handicap chases but has gone the wrong way since, pulled up on 5 of his last 6 starts. Application of cheekpieces needs to help spark a revival as he goes back up in trip. Hint of spark over C&D last November but pulled up since; back to having plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to look past IMPERIAL ALEX, who deservedly got off the mark over fences with an imperious display at Chepstow. Tom Lacey's charge continues to improve and is 5lb well-in under his penalty so is readily preferred to Taste The Fear, who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, although he has shown very little of late. The unexposed Pats Dream would have claims if bouncing back to the form of his third at Kelso in October.
Having finished runner-up on his previous 4 starts, IMPERIAL ALEX opened his chase account with a wide-margin victory at Chepstow 11 days ago and he holds leading claims under a penalty. Taste The Fear could be the be one to give the selection most to think about back up in trip, ahead of Pats Dream.
The Tom Lacey-trained IMPERIAL ALEX deservedly got off the mark over fences in fine style at Chepstow, and he can defy a 7lb penalty.

1st (2)  (11/8 +15%)Kinder Kid |
11/8(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kinder Kid 11/8, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 9-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) 9 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Still very much unexposed and looks capable of following up under a penalty. 7l win over C&D last week when upped in trip in second handicap; carries 7lb penalty. |

2nd (4)  (9/2 +0%)It's Maisy |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) It's Maisy 9/2, Made the perfect start in handicaps at Market Rasen and followed up over a still longer trip at Catterick, albeit in fortuitous fashion. No match for an improved one at Southwell last time but shaped as if still in good form. Can go well. Soundly beaten 2nd at Southwell when denied hat-trick but could still have more to offer. |
|||
3rd (1)  (7/1 +13%)Just In A Bit |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Just In A Bit 7/1, Placed both starts between the flags and showed promise in novice hurdles (both at around 2½m) at Southwell and Leicester. Failed to see his race out switched to a handicap at Hereford last month and has since had a breathing operation. Amateur takes over in the saddle. Tailed off on handicap debut but wind op since and promise previously; retains potential. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/1 -69%)Ushuaia Dancer |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ushuaia Dancer 11/1, Matched his previous form upped in trip for his handicap debut when runner-up at Newcastle (22f) in January. However, proved to be a disappointment at Doncaster the following month. Pulled up at Doncaster last time but good second at Newcastle previously on handicap debut. |
|||
5th (10)  (6/1 +25%)Oliver's Island |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Oliver's Island 6/1, Veteran who shaped as if still in good form when 9½ lengths fourth of 9 to Kinder Kid in C&D handicap (heavy) 9 days ago, barely adequate test. 3 lb out of the weights. Unable to threaten this season but in fair form of late and has each-way possibilities. |
|||
6th (5)  (28/1 -100%)Bullion Boss |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bullion Boss 28/1, Modest handicap hurdler who shaped as if needing the run after 24 months off when well held at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Tailed off at Carlisle recently but after a long absence; well treated on his 2021-22 form. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (11/1 +21%)Howzat Hiris |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Howzat Hiris 11/1, Ran one of this season's better races when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good, 16/1) 19 days ago, though never threatened to be concerned in the finish. Well treated on form as recent as December but soundly beaten on her three runs since. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (14/1 -75%)Asa |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Asa 14/1, Regressive maiden who showed little sign of taking advantage of her much-reduced mark. Tries a longer trip now and fitted with a first-time tongue strap. A long time since she posed a threat but she may not be a forlorn hope now up in trip. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (40/1 -150%)Champagne Gift |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Champagne Gift 40/1, Poor maiden who offered little back over hurdles after 6 months off when a well-held third of 7 in handicap at Taunton (19f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on for 1st time. Patchy profile but odd sign of promise & could improve for last month's return from break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KINDER KID was an impressive winner over C&D nine days ago, when stepped up to 3m for the first time. With further improvement to come over this staying trip, he is fancied to defy the penalty en route to further success. It's Maisy found just one too strong when going in search of her hat-trick at Southwell last month and she merits respect from an unchanged mark, while Asa is one to look out for on her second start following wind surgery.
KINDER KID was well suited by the step up to 3m when opening his account in ready fashion over C&D last week and is fully expected to follow up under a penalty. It's Maisy should continue in form, while Just In A Bit shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Hereford and may have benefited from a breathing operation.
The unexposed 6yo KINDER KID (nap) relished the step up in trip when winning by 7l over C&D and can follow up under a penalty.

5th (5)  (16/1 -33%)Jeune Prince |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jeune Prince 16/1, £65,000 Al Namix gelding. Half-brother to useful bumper winner/useful hurdler Festival d'Ex, stays 2¾m, and fair hurdler Good Look Charm. Showed plenty to work on when fourth of 10 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft, 15/2) on debut 52 days ago so could figure with that run under his belt. Fair fourth on debut; this £65,000 half-brother to 2 winners is in good hands to progress. |
|||
6th (9)  (4/1 -60%)Martin Plage |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Martin Plage 4/1, Easy point winner who made a solid start under Rules when third at Cheltenham. Bit underwhelming at Sandown next time but off 137 days since and could get back on track. Fine third at Cheltenham on bumper debut; only fourth at Sandown but the pace was steady. |
|||
7th (10)  (11/1 +31%)Seek Him There |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Seek Him There 11/1, Out of a bumper winner and showed ability when second at Market Rasen in November. However, that form isn't solid, and he failed to reproduce that at Sandown since. Went close on debut at Market Rasen and faced tough task at Sandown next time. |
|||
11th (14)  (40/1 +60%)Just Oot |
40/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Just Oot 40/1, £5,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to modest chaser Belle Jour. Dam unraced. Well-held fifth of 7 in bumper (22/1) at Newcastle (14.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 126 days ago. 22-1, well-beaten fifth of seven on debut at Newcastle last November; best watched. |

Olly Murphy often does well in these types of contests and DANGEROUS TOUCH, who was picked up for 135,000 pounds at the sales in December having struck the woodwork in a Ballindenisk point-to-point, could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. Martin Plage has shown promise on both of his starts under Rules and must feature prominently in calculations, while others to note include Jeune Prince, Seek Him There and Stress Reaction.
DANGEROUS TOUCH was sold for a tidy sum after going close in an Irish point in December so he's taken to make a winning start for a yard that has a good record in bumpers. Martin Plage is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his Cheltenham debut so is next best ahead of Jeune Prince, who showed plenty to work on at Carlisle.
Point runner-up DANGEROUS TOUCH is taken to make a winning start for Olly Murphy, having changed hands for £135,000.

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.
