1.2/1(-45%)
(2) Hillcrest 1.2/1, Cost €190,000 as a 3-y-o and confirmed bumper debut promise when landing 9-runner bumper here in March, finding plenty. Winning hurdles debut at Aintree last month and he could be useful.

14/1(+0%)
(5) Grand Du Nord 14/1, Built on debut promise at the second attempt after 10 weeks off when landing Hexham bumper in April. Just a fair hurdles debut here last month (19.7f) but this trip will suit.

40/1(-60%)
(7) Pearly Island 40/1, €26,000 3-y-o, Trans Island gelding. Fifth of 10 in a bumper in March but stoutly bred and this test much more suitable returning over obstacles.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (100/1 -203%) Sameem
100/1(-203%)
(8) Sameem 100/1, Useful at one time on the Flat, but lost his way in that sphere. Left opening hurdles run behind when third at Sedgefield 3 week ag and up markedly in trip.

250/1(-213%)
(9) Wotsmyname 250/1, Well held in bumpers (in Ireland) and similar story both starts over hurdles for new yard, his jumping not without blemish.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Ladronne 5.5/1, Fair winning hurdler but yet to score in five runs over fences. Still, resumes on the back of a wind op and possibilities here if that procedure helps ekes out some improvement.
2
2nd (9) (5/1 -25%) Mill Race King
5/1(-25%)
(9) Mill Race King 5/1, Winning pointer who was placed twice in Hexham handicaps in the spring. Possibly needed the run back from a 7-month break at Catterick recently, albeit again didn't convince with his finishing effort.
3
3rd (2) (5/1 +23%) Da Vinci Hand
5/1(+23%)
(2) Da Vinci Hand 5/1, Stepped up plenty on opening exploits for this yard when runner-up over fences at Uttoxeter in June. However, failed to build on that effort back in this sphere at Sedgefield last month.

|PU| (1) (4/1 -20%) Sublime Heights
4/1(-20%)
(1) Sublime Heights 4/1, Winner of sole start between the flags and placed on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles last term. Chase debut effort on return at Stratford (22.6f) wasn't devoid of promise and improvement is likely.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (10/1 -11%) Ranieri
10/1(-11%)
(5) Ranieri 10/1, Regressed following fairly encouraging Rules debut in a Hereford novice hurdle last December, and didn't show a great deal on reappearance/chase debut at Ffos Las.

6/1(+8%)

14/1(+0%)
(9) Uisce Ur 14/1, C&D winner who signed off last term with good third of 16 in 3m handicap at Tauntonin March. Has rejoined former yard and she is no forlorn hope.

(8) Saint Palais 0.83/1, Made promising start over fences for current yard when bagging 23f handicap at Worcester 45 days ago, jumping really well. Up 7 lb but form has been franked and he's weighted to go in again.

28/1(-180%)
(6) Cobra De Mai 28/1, It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2019, and pulled up in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f) 28 days ago. Others are preferred.

66/1(-450%)
(1) Minella Till Dawn 66/1, Consistent Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who ended last term with rare poor run when pulled up in handicap at Punchestown 7 months ago. Sort to bounce back on his return.
6th
6th (3) (50/1 -317%) Rocky's Treasure
50/1(-317%)
(3) Rocky's Treasure 50/1, C&D winner but he came in last of 5 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (27.3f) 20 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

20/1(-11%)
(4) Admiral Barratry 20/1, Opened his chase account at Fakenham in January but off 7 months since poor twelfth in handicap at Ayr. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (6/1 -33%) Sirwilliamwallace
6/1(-33%)
(7) Sirwilliamwallace 6/1, Off 7 months before respectable third in handicap chase at Kelso (21.6f) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on now, and he's not ruled out.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (50/1 -257%) Grange Ranger
50/1(-257%)
(9) Grange Ranger 50/1, Course winner but he looked rusty after 6 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap chase over C&D 35 days ago. Can give a good account with that run under his belt.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) No Risk Des Flos 5/1, €200,000 purchase who doubled hurdles tally in a Southwell novice (15.8f) in March. Possible return/handicap debut was needed at Fontwell (19.2f) in October and better showing expected back at 2m.
2
2nd (5) (28/1 -180%) Drumconnor Lad
28/1(-180%)
(5) Drumconnor Lad 28/1, Looked as good as ever when successful over fences at Ayr (16.5f) last autumn. Never scaled same heights thereafter, last of 3 to finish at Wetherby (15f) in January. May need this on return.
3
3rd (2) (2/1 +20%) Haafapiece
2/1(+20%)
(2) Haafapiece 2/1, Consistent handicap hurdler who cashed in off reduced mark on return here (19.7f) in October, staying on to lead final 50 yds. 5 lb higher now but no surprise to see him go well again.
4
4th (9) (2/1 +33%) Romeo Brown
2/1(+33%)
(9) Romeo Brown 2/1, Knocked on the door several times last term and back from a break, put it all together for this yard at Hexham (16.2f) 17 days ago, drawing clear quickly. Of interest despite much inflated mark.
5th
5th (6) (9/1 +0%) Benny's Bridge
9/1(+0%)
(6) Benny's Bridge 9/1, Little impact both starts last term at Cheltenham but did shape as though retaining a chunk of his ability on return/yard debut at Wetherby last month. This will reveal more and mark has eased.
6th
6th (7) (40/1 -150%) Perfect Man
40/1(-150%)
(7) Perfect Man 40/1, Not disgraced on first run since leaving Sophie Leech when seventh at Cartmel (22.1f, good) in May but didn't run much of a race after 6 months off when well held over 19.7f here. Others preferred.
7th
7th (3) (16/1 +27%) Lignou
16/1(+27%)
(3) Lignou 16/1, Responded well to positive tactics when doubling hurdles tally in a Kilbeggan novice (19.4f) in April. However, not scaled same heights since, including on yard debut at Haydock 2 weeks ago.
8th
8th (1) (66/1 -450%) Ornua
66/1(-450%)
(1) Ornua 66/1, Useful chaser who regained winning thread in small field minor event at Tramore (21.5f) in July. Below that level over hurdles at Limerick later that month and others preferred making stable debut.
9th
9th (8) (33/1 -65%) Laskadine
33/1(-65%)
(8) Laskadine 33/1, Back on song last winter when winning over 2m at Newcastle/Sedgefield. Not returned in much form though, well held at Carlisle (17f) 26 days ago. Return to left-handed track may help now.
LTO Selection:
14:12 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) Sidi Ismael 6.5/1, Won staying Kelso handicap hurdle for Keith Dalgleish in April and back on scoresheet at first time of asking for new stable in 23f Lingfield handicap last month. Chase debut with cheekpieces added.
2
2nd (3) (5/1 +0%) Geryville
5/1(+0%)
(3) Geryville 5/1, French recruit who belied odds of 40/1 to make successful start for Micky Hammond in 19f course handicap 35 days ago, forging clear in a manner which suggests this longer trip should be within range.
3
3rd (9) (22/1 +12%) Golden Robin
22/1(+12%)
(9) Golden Robin 22/1, Hexham handicap hurdle winner last season. Respectable fourth on her completed start over hurdles this term ahead of this switch to fences over a longer trip.
4
4th (1) (5/1 -43%) Tallow For Coal
5/1(-43%)
(1) Tallow For Coal 5/1, Point winner who built on a promising chase debut third when taking a 23f Worcester handicap under Page Fuller 22 days ago. More to come and a 6 lb rise may not stop him.
5th
5th (5) (12/1 -20%) Onchan
12/1(-20%)
(5) Onchan 12/1, Placed on 3 of 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 25.5f last term but always on the back foot after an early blunder on Aintree chase debut/reappearance 4 weeks ago.
6th
6th (10) (18/1 -13%) Morozov Cocktail
18/1(-13%)
(10) Morozov Cocktail 18/1, Reached the frame in 3 handicap hurdles around 3m last season. Unexposed ahead of chase debut after 7 months off but he could have found a weaker than this one from his mark.
|F|
|F| (8) (12/1 -50%) Alkopop
12/1(-50%)
(8) Alkopop 12/1, Progressive form switched to handicaps over hurdles last winter, winning twice prior to an excellent second at Hereford final outing in March. Could easily have more to offer as a chaser this term.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Big Nasty
3.33/1(+26%)
(2) Big Nasty 3.33/1, Belatedly shed maiden tag whe making all in 3m Southwell handicap in May. Creditable runner-up efforts both outings since and likely to give another good account.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (18/1 -80%) Pennyforapound
18/1(-80%)
(6) Pennyforapound 18/1, Progressive winning hurdler but he looked rusty after 10 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow on his debut over fences. Dual winning pointer who retains potential in this sphere.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (50/1 -317%) Present Chief
50/1(-317%)
(7) Present Chief 50/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler. Shaped nicely when third under a patient ride at Worcester on chase debut in September. Has failed to build on that twice since but it's still early days.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
