1st (11)  (10/1 +17%)Mutual Respect |
10/1(+17%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mutual Respect 10/1, A fair winning chaser in 2023 who wasn't disgraced after 12 months off when a patiently-ridden eighth of 13 in handicap chase here 16 days ago. Merits consideration with that run under his belt. In good form at this time last year and returned from long layoff with okay run this month. |
|
2nd (10)  (9/4 +75%)Moodofthemoment |
9/4(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Moodofthemoment 9/4, Still winless but he has shaped well since joining his current yard, second of 13 in handicap chase over C&D 16 days ago. Well in the mix despite taking a 5 lb weights rise. Second in two recent C&D chases for new stable and a likely contender again. |
|
3rd (5)  (11/1 -100%)Lermoos Legend |
11/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lermoos Legend 11/1, Course winner who posted a good third of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, heavy) 32 days ago. Back down in trip and needs considering. In the frame five times in a row since June; versatile regarding trip/ground; respected. |
|
4th (2)  (7/1 +13%)Redbridge Rambler |
7/1(+13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Redbridge Rambler 7/1, Signed off last term with Ascot success and resumed with a solid third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f, good to soft) in May. Not ruled out now going chasing. In good form over hurdles in the spring; dropped sharply back in trip for chasing debut. |
|
5th (1)  (11/1 +21%)Playtogetaway |
11/1(+21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Playtogetaway 11/1, A fairly useful 2m hurdles winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap here (16f, good) 30 days ago but much respected on his chase debut. 2-10 over hurdles; makes chasing debut from good mark but was below form here last month. |
|
6th (8)  (7/1 -56%)Delpotro |
7/1(-56%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Delpotro 7/1, Successful 2 out of his 3 starts over fences at Nort-sur-Erdre this summer. Since claimed from Gabriel Leenders for €9,106 so she's an interesting French import with few miles still on the clock. Won two slow-ground claiming chases in France in the spring; makes British debut today. |
|
|F| (7)  (3/1 +50%)Mary |
3/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mary 3/1, Scored at Stratford in August and backed it up with a good recent second in 2m1f Downpatrick handicap hurdle. Can give a good account now sent over fences. Back in good form over hurdles this summer; makes her chasing debut today. |
|
|F| (9)  (12/1 -33%)Tonto Foley |
12/1(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tonto Foley 12/1, Hurdles winner who has taken well to fences, bagging his third win at Perth in July. Only fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f) last time but the sort to bounce back. Didn't fire last time but has won three chases this year and remains of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MOODOFTHEMOMENT improved from his return to fences when beaten a neck over C&D earlier in the month and the seven-year-old is capable of handling a 5lb rise in his bid to go one better. Mary went close on her trip across the Irish Sea at Downpatrick last week and she commands respect on her chasing bow. Others to consider are Delpotro and Tonto Foley.
Plenty with chances but at the likely odds it is worth siding with Charlie Longsdon's new recruit DELPOTRO, who was twice a winner in France in the summer and starts here on a handy-looking mark. Dan Skelton's Omaha Wish looks to have more to offer now reverted to fences and rates the main danger, with Mutual Respect, Redbridge Rambler and Lermoos Legend also in the picture.
Top of the list is four-time point winner MOODOFTHEMOMENT (nap), who ran well in defeat on his first two starts for Matt Sheppard.

1st (1)  (5/2 -175%)Hometown Boy |
5/2(-175%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hometown Boy 5/2, Useful chaser. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase (11/4) at this C&D (good) 93 days ago, easily. Hard to beat. Won readily by 10l over C&D in June and has obvious claims under penalty. |
|
2nd (5)  (6/4 +75%)Coco Mademoiselle |
6/4(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coco Mademoiselle 6/4, Winning Irish pointer who landed the odds in Lingfield novice hurdle in November and made the most of a good opportunity when going in again at Chepstow in March. Solid showing at Ayr since and is the sort to take to chasing after five months off. Irish point winner who quickly developed into a fairly useful novice hurdler last season. |
|
3rd (4)  (6/1 +20%)Weveallbeencaught |
6/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Weveallbeencaught 6/1, Useful winning hurdler who shaped with promise in this sphere when placed in a pair of novice events at Cheltenham earlier this season. Went backwards since and last left Nigel Twiston-Davies in the five months he's been off. 0-5 over fences last season but eased in grade for this stable debut; market may guide. |
|
4th (3)  (8/1 +33%)Jesuitique |
8/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jesuitique 8/1, Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and made a positive start over fences, albeit finishing lame when third of 6 in a handicap at Sedgefield when last seen 11 months ago. Needs to do more. Absent since third in Durham National last October and not favoured by today's weights. |
|
5th (2)  (11/2 -100%)An Tailliur |
11/2(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) An Tailliur 11/2, Prolific winner in handicap hurdles in 2021/22 and ran well in some hot handicaps following season. Looked rusty sent chasing after 17 months off at Stratford a month ago but should have learned from that. Definite player. Very useful handicap hurdler; returned from long layoff with underwhelming chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HOMETOWN BOY gained his first success over the larger obstacles here in June with an authoritative display. The nine-year-old jumped well on the whole and he can put that experience to best use. Coco Mademoiselle was a useful hurdler last season and she may prove to be the main threat on her first attempt over fences, while a change of scenery may have benefited Weveallbeencaught.
HOMETOWN BOY jumped accurately when recording a fluent success in a C&D handicap three months ago and, if he can reproduce that, he should have enough to follow up. An Tailliur can make his presence felt if learning from his chasing debut and Coco Mademoiselle is an interesting chasing debutant.
The most obvious answer is HOMETOWN BOY, who dominated a C&D handicap on his latest outing three months ago.

1st (7)  (8/13 +23%)Potters Charm |
8/13(+23%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Potters Charm 8/13, £105,000 4-y-o, Valirann gelding. Finished runner-up only start in points and looked a fine prospect when winning 6-runner FFos Las bumper (15.8f, heavy) in March, barely needing to come off the bridle. Exciting hurdles recruit. Impressive rules debut in a Ffos Las bumper in March (heavy; RPR 119); big player.. |
|
2nd (2)  (14/1 -56%)Chancycourt |
14/1(-56%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chancycourt 14/1, Very lightly raced for an 8-y-o and having run creditably when second at Southwell (20.4f) in June, he unseated mid race in 23f maiden here 16 days ago. Player on June's Southwell second (2m4.5f), assuming no repeat of any hanging or mistakes.. |
|
3rd (8)  (9/1 -64%)Typhoon Flyer |
9/1(-64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Typhoon Flyer 9/1, Fairly useful form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers but not at same level despite making the frame when third of 14 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) on hurdles bow 135 days ago. Still, it's early days and he promises to do better for good yard. Fair hurdles debut third despite pulling, hanging left and making errors; can do better.. |
|
4th (1)  (14/1 +58%)Better Off Alone |
14/1(+58%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Better Off Alone 14/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (stays 25f) Wonderwall. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Feb 2024). Betting should prove a useful guide on Rules bow. Irish point second in February (3m, yielding); unseen since; winning hurdlers in family.. |
|
5th (12)  (7/1 +0%)Micronormous |
7/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Micronormous 7/1, Bumper winner who proved she retains all her ability when third of 11 in novice hurdle at this course (23f) 16 days ago, jumping on last and headed final 100 yds. Drop back in trip here won't inconvenience her now equipped with a tongue tie. Beaten under 2l when third here latest (2m7f) after big absence; tongue-tie goes on.. |
|
6th (3)  (80/1 -21%)Get Cracking |
80/1(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Get Cracking 80/1, £4,000 5-y-o, Getaway gelding. Maiden pointer and he offered little only start for M. Osborne when fourth of 8 in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on NH debut 173 days ago. Goes hurdling now for new stable and he's probably best watched. 2m5f maiden point winner in May and unseen for four months; likely one for handicaps.. |
|
7th (9)  (66/1 -164%)Zmiinyi |
66/1(-164%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zmiinyi 66/1, £25,000 buy, runner-up completed start in Irish points. Finished well held in pair of maidens at Chepstow/Leicester towards back end of last year and handicaps could well be more his bag moving forward this season. Had wind surgery ahead of return. Beaten over 30l in two 2m4f hurdles last autumn; given time and a wind operation since.. |
|
8th (5)  (200/1 -100%)Jour D'orage |
200/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jour D'orage 200/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful French chaser Top Secret but offered little in bumper/novice hurdle in recent months. Best to look elsewhere. Didn't show too much on last month's hurdling debut, two lost shoes notwithstanding.. |
|
|PU| (10)  (9/2 +0%)Gwennie May Star |
9/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gwennie May Star 9/2, Offered something to work on both starts in bumpers 3 months apart, third of 11 in 16.6f contest at Bangor in June. Step up in trip promises to suit now hurdling and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant for top stable. Could have done better in a Bangor bumper latest (favourite); should make a hurdler.. |
|
|PU| (6)  (150/1 -127%)Knock On Wood |
150/1(-127%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Knock On Wood 150/1, £7,500 6-y-o, Gatewood gelding. Dam, showed nothing sole start in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3½m) Mr Woodentop. Winning pointer, pulled up last time (May 31). 2m4f maiden point winner for this yard in March (good to soft); absent for four months.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
POTTERS CHARM showed he has a big engine when landing a Ffos Las bumper at the end of March and the five-year-old is expected to make a winning start to life over hurdles, especially with a step up in distance in his favour. Micronormous shaped as though dropping back in trip would play to her strengths when travelling well here over 2m7f last time. Typhoon Flyer, Chancycourt and Zmiinyi are others for the shortlist.
POTTERS CHARM barely had to come off the bridle and looked a very good prospect when making a winning bumper debut at Ffos Las 6 months ago. He's very much of interest now hurdling with his yard in excellent form. Fellow hurdles debutant Gwennie May Star, Typhoon Flyer and Micronormous can emerge as the chief threats.
Impressive Ffos Las bumper winner POTTERS CHARM should find trip and track to suit. Micronormous is next most fancied.

1st (6)  (3/1 +40%)Flying Fortune |
3/1(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Flying Fortune 3/1, Dual bumper winner who has upped her form over hurdles this summer, winning a Market Rasen handicap in July before landing the odds in a mares' novice over this C&D. This 5-y-o almost certainly has more to offer and is likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Won her last two and is versatile ground-wise but others may have more potential. |
|
2nd (8)  (11/1 -22%)Ebony Warrior |
11/1(-22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ebony Warrior 11/1, Made little impact in bumpers but different story since switched to hurdles here, building on promise of debut in this sphere when landing a 2m novice in ready fashion. Further progress when second to Letterston Lily upped to this trip last time and should go well on this handicap debut. 2m course winner in July and ran well over C&D last month; others look stronger, though. |
|
3rd (13)  (11/2 +31%)Letterston Lily |
11/2(+31%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Letterston Lily 11/2, Bumper winner at the third attempt and made it 2-3 in this sphere when accounting for Ebony Warrior and 6 others in a C&D novice. Helps give the Bowen's a strong hand (yard also represented by Flying Fortune) and she merits respect on this handicap debut. Battled well to win C&D novice last month; needs to find more on this handicap debut. |
|
4th (2)  (9/2 +63%)Backmersackme |
9/2(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Backmersackme 9/2, Point/bumper winner who has shown ability in a handful of runs in this sphere and also on the Flat the last twice. Cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut and, as with all Emmet Mullins-trained visitors to these shores, he's one to monitor closely in the betting. Tricky to weigh up but very unexposed, and stable is always feared in valuable races. |
|
5th (4)  (14/1 -75%)Bob Bob Ricard |
14/1(-75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bob Bob Ricard 14/1, Improved for the switch to fences during the summer, landing back-to-back handicap chases at Ffos Las and this course. Performed to a similar level back hurdling when 3 lengths second to Fine Margin in a C&D novice last time and he's of strong interest on his handicap debut in this sphere. Dual chase winner in spring; ran very well behind Fine Margin when back hurdling in July. |
|
6th (9)  (33/1 -106%)Shengai Enki |
33/1(-106%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shengai Enki 33/1, Fair hurdler who is going the right way, supplementing May's Uttoxeter handicap (23.3f, soft) success in novice company dropped to 2m here the following month. However, he ran no sort of a race back from a break at Cartmel last time and is now tried in cheekpieces. Won twice in the spring (2m7f/2m); cheekpieces added after poor run last month. |
|
7th (12)  (16/1 -14%)Full Monty |
16/1(-14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Full Monty 16/1, Opened his account with a cosy success in a 2½m Uttoxeter maiden (good to firm) in July but he was behind Letterston Lily and Ebony Warrior over this C&D last time. Tongue strap enlisted for this handicap debut. Behind two of these when fourth over C&D last month but open to improvement in handicaps. |
|
8th (10)  (16/1 +20%)New Order |
16/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) New Order 16/1, Got off the mark in Irish points at second attempt and runner-up on 2 of his 5 starts in this sphere. Rather disappointing at Southwell last time, though, and he needs to raise his game now handicapping. 0-5 over hurdles and seems to have some quirks; off since below-par run in May; too risky. |
|
9th (3)  (17/2 -21%)Mostly Sunny |
17/2(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mostly Sunny 17/2, Three-time winner on the Flat for Heather Main and has taken well to hurdles for the Skelton yard, winning twice from 5 starts in this sphere and latest fourth of 17 in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) was a solid effort. This stiffer test may help and he's a key player. Creditable fourth in 2m Summer Hurdle in July and likely to be suited by this longer trip. |
|
|PU| (11)  (12/1 -9%)Jacobs Acre |
12/1(-9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Jacobs Acre 12/1, Fair form in bumpers and improved with each of his 3 starts in this sphere, off the mark on handicap debut upped to 19.6f at Bangor (good) 3 weeks ago. More needed up 6 lb in this tougher race but he's unexposed and merits respect for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. Travelled strongly before asserting on recent handicap debut; has more improvement to come. |
|
|PU| (1)  (17/2 -42%)Fine Margin |
17/2(-42%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fine Margin 17/2, Duly landed the odds in a Fontwell maiden in May and has added to that in novice events over this C&D and at Bangor since. This mark looks manageable returned to handicap company but several of these rivals are more appealing nonetheless. Second in major handicap last autumn and 3-3 in novice company this season; respected. |
|
|PU| (14)  (50/1 -150%)Haarar |
50/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Haarar 50/1, Back-to-back winner over hurdles in May but safely held bidding for the hat-trick on handicap debut in this sphere at Hexham the following month. Safely held both starts on the Flat since. Dual novice winner in My; came last on handicap debut; recent Flat form also below par. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has proved a different proposition since undergoing a wind procedure in November, with dominant displays at Fakenham and at this venue since. Paul Nicholls' mare makes her handicap debut off what looks a lenient mark and she may land the spoils in a competitive affair. The Willie Mullins-trained Fine Margin is sure to have his supporters in his quest to land a four-timer, while Mostly Sunny is a potential improver up in distance.
This looks competitive with several progressive types on show. FLYING FORTUNE has looked good at Market Rasen and this course the last twice, and she could be the answer with further progress likely. Ebony Warrior is taken to reverse last month's C&D placings with the selection's stablemate Letterston Lily and emerge as the main danger, while Mostly Sunny should go well now upped in trip and Bob Bob Ricard, who was left with too much to do when second to Fine Margin here, are others to consider.
Emmet Mullins' BACKMERSACKME held his own in a Grade 1 on his hurdling debut and is selected ahead of Fine Margin.

11/1(-22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tiger Orchid 11/1, Enhanced good course chase record with a 23f win in June. Not so good back here last month but does have a lower mark to work with back hurdling. Stiff task in a class 2 handicap chase latest (C&D); trip, ground and mark all favourable.. |
|
1st (6)  (15/2 -114%)Made For You |
15/2(-114%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Made For You 15/2, Good second of 12 in Flat handicap at Carlisle (17f, good to soft, 17/2) 53 days ago. Also placed twice over hurdles during the summer and ought to be in the mix again here. Consistent under both codes this summer; return to a stayers' trip is worth a try.. |
|
2nd (2)  (15/8 +17%)Earth Cry |
15/8(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Earth Cry 15/8, Made it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off 5 rivals at Fontwell 4 weeks ago. Hit with an 8 lb rise but there could be more to come from this 6-y-o from an in-form stable. Another career best when winning going away at Fontwell latest; another one needed here.. |
|
3rd (5)  (3/1 +70%)Lutinebella |
3/1(+70%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lutinebella 3/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and successful twice over hurdles during 2022/23 campaign. Very lightly raced since but showed she retains ability when fourth of 8 at Stratford last time. Needs to build on that now. Ready for this long a trip judged on Stratford fourth latest; on an ever tastier mark.. |
|
4th (4)  (11/4 +31%)Tiger Jet |
11/4(+31%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tiger Jet 11/4, More miss than hit for Brian Ellison last season but looks a bargain buy for new trainer Jennie Candlish at only £2,000 after winning a Cartmel handicap last month. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher. All-the-way Cartmel win (2m6f, heavy) on stable debut latest; new mark is the main issue.. |
|
5th (8)  (13/2 +80%)Gaelic Park |
13/2(+80%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gaelic Park 13/2, Point/bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in 11-runner maiden at Warwick (21f, heavy) in March 2023 but struggled in handicaps last season. A 5 -month break needs to have had a reviving effect. Point/bumper/2m5f hurdle winner with cut; still below par in handicaps when last seen.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A rise in distance inspired a career-best performance from EARTH CRY over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell and this extra yardage could improve him even further. Although an 8lb rise in the ratings demands more from the six-year-old, a fourth victory since June could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Tiger Jet, who made a successful stable debut at Cartmel last month. Fame And Fun is also worth a second look now reverting to hurdles.
The obvious one here is the progressive EARTH CRY who is taken to defy the handicapper again with the Neil Mulholland stable continuing in good form. Made For You has had a solid spell on the Flat and over hurdles this summer and is second choice ahead of Cartmel-scorer Tiger Jet.
Edging down the weights and hinting at the need for a stayers' trip last time, LUTINEBELLA gets the nod over Made For You.

1st (8)  (5/2 +50%)Razzo Italiano |
5/2(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Razzo Italiano 5/2, Efforts mixed this year but capitalised on drop in to selling handicap company when adding to his sole previous success at Stratford (18.7f) 3 weeks ago. Made a yard switch ahead of this and he's not dismissed lightly. Selling handicap score latest (2m3f, good); still on a winning mark; debut for the Bowens.. |

2nd (2)  (11/1 +56%)Douglas Dc |
11/1(+56%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Douglas Dc 11/1, A fairly useful hurdler in Ireland for Gordon Elliott who shaped well on a few occasions for his new yard last season. Running respectably on Flat prior to a disappointing run back in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on but losing run is off-putting. Solid Flat efforts this summer, so disappointing a recent Stratford effort wasn't better.. |
|
3rd (1)  (3/1 +63%)Byzantine Empire |
3/1(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Byzantine Empire 3/1, Revived when winning 12-runner C&D handicap in July but failed to fully repeat that effort when fourth at Newton Abbot next time and well-beaten on Flat at Bath (14f) 23 days ago. C&D 0-110 winner in July off 6lb lower, but held next time; poor on the Flat latest.. |
|
4th (3)  (7/2 -75%)Cavern Club |
7/2(-75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cavern Club 7/2, Fairly useful middle-distance winner on the Flat and made a successful start over hurdles with plenty to spare at Cartmel (17.2f) in July. Runner-up under a penalty at Stratford (16.3f) 3 weeks ago and no surprise to see him in the mix now handicapping. Easy Cartmel maiden winner on soft; player if settling and jumping better than last time.. |
|
5th (7)  (25/1 0%)Max's Champ |
25/1(0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Max's Champ 25/1, Finished runner-up in a Hereford maiden (19.7f) in spring 2023 but finished well held all 4 starts in handicaps last season. Needs to hit the ground running back from 8 months off. Form took a dive switched to handicaps last autumn/winter; unseen for almost nine months.. |
|
6th (9)  (40/1 -60%)Uncle Arthur |
40/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Uncle Arthur 40/1, Opened his hurdles account for Fergal O'Brien in December but largely struggled for James Owen. Set stiff task and never figured for new yard over fences at Stratford (17f) in July and he's likely best watched from out of weights/returned to hurdles. Had wind surgery. C&D bumper winner in June 2022 (good) but just 1-19 since; has had wind surgery.. |
|
|PU| (5)  (5/1 -25%)Dunbulcan Bay |
5/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dunbulcan Bay 5/1, Flemensfirth gelding who makes a quick switch to handicaps following pair of in-the-frame efforts, improving when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good to soft) in May. Better to come now handicapping. Back down in trip. Early days but optimum trip perhaps isn't clear yet; initial mark makes sense, at least.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It may be worth chancing DOG FOX has been freshened up by a 64-day layoff. The four-year-old ran out a ready winner on his penultimate start at Bangor and he might be able to put his short-odds defeat when fifth over C&D last time behind him. Handicap debutant Dunbulcan Bay is respected, along with the unexposed Cavern Club, who was useful on the Flat.
DOG FOX was strong in the betting on the back of his Bangor victory and compromised his chance of following up with a bad mistake last when fifth behind re-opposing Byzantine Empire over C&D back in July. He's worth another chance to prove his revised mark is workable. Cavern Club appeals as the type who can make his mark now handicapping in this sphere and is a definite threat. Low-mileage Dunbulcan Bay, on handicap debut for Dan Skelton, is another in the mix.
Settling better again might seal this for CAVERN CLUB on handicap debut, ahead of Dunbulcan Bay. Neither may mind rain.

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.
