1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +17%) Rukaana		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(9) Rukaana 10/3, Disappointing when back from a couple of good Flat runs, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Suited by 2m and acts on soft and good; fair mark on spring form but something to prove after that poor return to hurdling. Would probably have preferred a stronger pace to chase when sixth at Taunton last month.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 +36%) El Gavilan		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) El Gavilan 9/1, Raced wide at a sharp track and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and trainer is in form; effective at 2m but appears out of form. Placed in three juvenile hurdles last season but struggling in handicaps this term.
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 +0%) Linden Lane		22 22/1(+0%)																															(2) Linden Lane 22/1, Outpaced and needed a stiffer test when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell (2m1f) last time. Probably needs further than 2m and, returning from a break, may just need the run. Always behind on latest outing in September and now 0-8 over hurdles.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +0%) Midnight View		8 8/1(+0%)																															(5) Midnight View 8/1, Ran to current form when third, beaten 14l, in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow most recently. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; still early days but has plenty to prove in handicaps. Pulled up in first two handicaps but fared much better when third at Ludlow last month.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +85%) Away For The Night		3 3/1(+85%)																															(4) Away For The Night 3/1, Ran poorly when tried in a tongue-tie and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good; probably has breathing issues. Showed promise in qualifying races but soundly beaten in both handicaps.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +17%) This Sway		10 10/1(+17%)																															(3) This Sway 10/1, Produced a much better effort back down in trip when fourth, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good; showed promise latest and mark looks fair. Pulled up on first two hurdle starts but last month's Southwell fourth was much better.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 -409%) Delta Blues Belle		28 28/1(-409%)																															(1) Delta Blues Belle 28/1, Outclassed and looked in need of a stiffer test when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham most recently. A 3m point winner who likely wants further than 2m and could do better now handicapping. Well beaten in three novice hurdles but ought to be more competitive in this lowly grade.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 -220%) Cumhacht		8 8/1(-220%)																															(8) Cumhacht 8/1, Up in trip and didn't stay on rain-softened ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to firm; a consistent maiden until that effort where excuses can be made. Found 2m3f too taxing last time; good chance if judged on earlier Ffos Las second.
9th	10 9th (10) (13/2 -8%) Flagon Dry		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(10) Flagon Dry 13/2, Probably ran to form when fourth, beaten 27l, in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton latest. Effective at 2m over jumps and acts on good ground; faces a tough task at the weights. Fair Flat racer who has made the frame in three good-ground juvenile hurdles this autumn.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 +11%) Saucats		16 16/1(+11%)																															(11) Saucats 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good; fair mark on French form but struggling to show much for new yard. Third at 40-1 two runs ago and had possible ground excuse last time but others appeal more.
11th	6 11th (6) (25/1 -79%) The Padster		25 25/1(-79%)																															(6) The Padster 25/1, A bit keen but ran to form when fourth, beaten 23l, in a novice hurdle at Exeter latest. Returns from a short break; suited by a sound surface and may stay beyond 2m. Needs more experience but a major player. Headstrong and showed only minor promise in his qualifying races; handicap debut today.

FLAGON DRY gets a nice weight-for-age allowance and can make it count. A Southwell maiden winner on the level, he has made only a fair start to his hurdling career, although he did occupy the runner-up berth at Wetherby and could be fairly treated now stepping into a handicap. Much better is also expected from Delta Blues Belle now she is out of novice company, while Cumhacht will be dangerous if judged on his Ffos Las second rather than his subsequent heavy Doncaster defeat.

Second to a progressive rival on slower-than-ideal ground two runs ago, CUMHACHT is selected to rebound from a lesser effort last time.

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 -105%) Stede Bonnet		3.333333 10/3(-105%)																															(4) Stede Bonnet 10/3, Improved from debut when handling testing ground to finish second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Ayr last time. From a top course trainer, effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good ground; a dual bumper winner improving over hurdles. Runner-up to hotpot at Ayr last month (2m, heavy); yard in exceptional form; player.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/9 +0%) Arslan		0.444444 4/9(+0%)																															(5) Arslan 4/9, Yard won this last year. Finished 12l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on latest start. Effective over 2–2 1/2m, acts on soft and good ground. Debut form has been strongly franked and looks open to plenty of improvement over hurdles for this top yard. Form of his thirds in a bumper and hurdle has worked out well; drop in trip can suit.
3	10 3rd (10) (66/1 -32%) Poppycon		66 66/1(-32%)																															(10) Poppycon 66/1, Produced a modest effort when 4l third in a maiden at Daramona House on latest start. Returning from a long layoff and has plenty to prove. Placed in 2-6 point-to-points; first run for Eoin Doyle; hurdles bow; absence to overcome.
4	7 4th (7) (125/1 -25%) Jaynemax		125 125/1(-25%)																															(7) Jaynemax 125/1, Showed slight improvement on debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Type to progress when tackling handicaps. Only modest late headway when midfield at Naas (2m3f) last month; needs to find plenty.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/2 +36%) Only For Our Man		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(9) Only For Our Man 9/2, Made a promising bumper debut when second, beaten 3l, in a bumper at Tipperary last time. Needs to step up on that to figure here. Runner-up in Tipperary bumper last May; betting will reveal clues on stable/hurdles debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (125/1 -525%) Marian Avenue		125 125/1(-525%)																															(8) Marian Avenue 125/1, Casamento gelding with a trainer in form and can get them ready first time; dam a bumper and hurdles winner for this stable; market can guide. Dam bumper/2m hurdle winner, sister to 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner; market can reveal more.
7th	11 7th (11) (300/1 -100%) Quietrunsthedon		300 300/1(-100%)																															(11) Quietrunsthedon 300/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Has everything to prove at this level. Pulled up at Clonmel on debut; out of sight behind Arslan last month; safe to rule out.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -65%) Mr Rango		33 33/1(-65%)																															(3) Mr Rango 33/1, Made a big move after missing the break when down the field in a handicap at The Curragh last time. Returns from a short break and has shown signs of a form revival; considered down in trip with cheekpieces reapplied. Has a squeak here judged on his sixth to Jasmin De Vaux in Navan maiden hurdle last winter.
9th	13 9th (13) (300/1 -100%) The Cobblers Wife		300 300/1(-100%)																															(13) The Cobblers Wife 300/1, Another poor run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Yet to find suitable conditions and may need more time. Always behind in two maiden hurdles to date; others preferred.
2	2 |PU| (2) (14/1 -100%) Ehteyat		14 14/1(-100%)																															(2) Ehteyat 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time. Thriving on flat this year after move from UK. Can make an impact over hurdles. Three-time Flat winner; each-way possibilities if he takes to hurdling at the first try.
1	1 |PU| (1) (33/1 -32%) Eco Pete		33 33/1(-32%)																															(1) Eco Pete 33/1, Found the ground too testing when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time. Effective over 2m2f, just about stays 2m5f and prefers good ground. An inconsistent maiden over hurdles who goes well at Downpatrick so this track could suit. Poor on heavy at Clonmel; better ground will suit but vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
12	12 |PU| (12) (150/1 -200%) Awaywith The Mixer		150 150/1(-200%)																															(12) Awaywith The Mixer 150/1, Westerner mare and half-sister to Diverse Beauty, a modest performer at 16f. Faces a tough enough task on debut. Dam 2m/2m4f hurdle winner, sister to bumper/2m5f hurdle winner Pure Anticipation; watch.
6	6 |PU| (6) (250/1 -150%) Ballyteigue Bay		250 250/1(-150%)																															(6) Ballyteigue Bay 250/1, Needed the run on hurdle debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time. Returns from a short break, effective at 2m on good ground, and needs to recapture bumper form to get involved. Third in Clonmel bumper; never a factor on hurdles bow at Wexford on return in October.

Despite being well held on both occasions, ARSLAN has displayed plenty of promise on both starts under Rules and Willie Mullins' gelding could be very hard to stop in a race of this nature. The main danger is likely to be Stede Bonnet following his second at Ayr a month ago, while Only For Our Man should not be underestimated on his hurdling debut.

Gordon Elliott rang in the new year with the bragging rights and Stede Bonnet is the chief danger to likely winner ARSLAN (nap)

1	7 1st (7) (3/1 -33%) Step Ahead		3 3/1(-33%)																															(7) Step Ahead 3/1, Good effort on hurdles debut when second, beaten 7l, in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time. Trainer in form; effective over 2m5f on good to soft and has more to offer. Has solid placed form, latest switched to hurdles; firmly in the mix.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/4 +44%) Just Golden		1.25 5/4(+44%)																															(3) Just Golden 5/4, Keen and outpaced but improved from debut when 7l third in a novice hurdle at Newcastle on latest start. Effective from 2m to 2m6f and acts on soft and good to soft; more to come over hurdles and may do better at 3m. Showing consistency; latest effort has been franked; remains of interest.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -8%) Neon Dream		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) Neon Dream 13/2, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballycahane by 4l last time. Effective at 3m in points and brings potential for a good yard. Sold for £105,000 since Irish point win; the pick of the rules debutants.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 +59%) Handin Manypockets		33 33/1(+59%)																															(2) Handin Manypockets 33/1, Promising debut when third, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden point at Rathcannon. Returns from a short break; effective at 3m in points, and this looks a good starting point. Purchased for £55,000 since finishing third in Irish point.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 -27%) Kiwi Rush		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(4) Kiwi Rush 7/2, Keen and travelled best but needed the run after a wind operation, making too much use of himself when fourth, beaten 16l, in a novice at Newbury last time. Second run after the wind op; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground; should improve for the experience. Showed up well for a long way at Newbury on the switch to hurdles.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 +38%) Walk Tall		25 25/1(+38%)																															(8) Walk Tall 25/1, Improved despite being well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective over 2m5f and may need a bit more time over hurdles. Both hurdles efforts suggest he'll be more interesting in handicaps.
7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 -186%) Minella Mission		80 80/1(-186%)																															(5) Minella Mission 80/1, Improved to get off the mark in a maiden point at Punchestown last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 3m in points and brings potential to hurdles. Sold for £45,000 since off the mark at the third attempt in Irish points.

Runner-up at Uttoxeter on his hurdling bow, JUST GOLDEN finished a solid third when acquitting himself well in this higher grade at Newcastle last time. The son of Flemensfirth beat a couple of subsequent winners in the process and another bold bid looks in the offing. Placed in a Listed bumper, Step Ahead made a promising start over hurdles when second at Warwick. He could have a say in proceedings, while Kiwi Rush will likely have come on for his fourth at Newbury and is another to consider.

It looks fairly tight among the main contenders. The percentage call goes to STEP AHEAD, ahead of Just Golden.

1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +8%) In The Age		1.5 6/4(+8%)																															(2) In The Age 6/4, Ran to form when just tiring late over an extended trip, finishing a 9 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Trainer in form; off a short break; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on soft or good to soft; more to come for a top yard. Point and Southwell bumper winner; appeared stretched by 2m7f on soft ground last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 +18%) Silver Hill		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(1) Silver Hill 9/4, Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice hurdle here by 1 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m3f on a sound surface but looks vulnerable under a penalty. Had to work pretty hard to beat a 50-1 chance over C&D in November; penalised.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/8 -18%) Pioneer Pete		1.625 13/8(-18%)																															(3) Pioneer Pete 13/8, A bit below form when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and has a good chance here with the longer trip likely to suit. Has every chance on the form he's reached and may well improve for this longer trip.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -52%) Ratemenow		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Ratemenow 50/1, Took a step back from his debut when comfortably held in a bumper at Carlisle last time. Difficult to fancy on hurdling debut. Beaten 19l and 39l in his two bumpers and wouldn't be the obvious answer to this.
5th	5 5th (5) (125/1 -150%) Inlet		125 125/1(-150%)																															(5) Inlet 125/1, Below form after a slow start when comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Off a short break and effective up to 14f on the Flat but has plenty to find now switching to hurdles. Has the stamina for hurdling but unlikely the ability to cope with today's opposition.
6	6 |PU| (6) (200/1 -60%) Lady Lucky		200 200/1(-60%)																															(6) Lady Lucky 200/1, Made a poor debut when pulled up in a novice hurdle here last time and is hard to fancy on that evidence. £1,600 3yo; 250-1 when pulled up over C&D 16 days ago; no appeal.

In The Age won a point-to-point and then a Southwell bumper but is yet to win over hurdles. He can go well over this trip, but C&D winner SILVER HILL is preferred. Scoring by a length and a half that day on his second start over hurdles, he looks the sort to do better with more experience. Pioneer Pete is best of the rest and could be booked for third.

Pioneer Pete is feared but IN THE AGE could be the answer, dropped back in trip and with Harry Atkins good value for his claim.

1	1 1st (1) (5/6 +85%) Fountains Blenhein		0.833333 5/6(+85%)																															(1) Fountains Blenhein 5/6, Ran to form when finishing a 5l third in a novice hurdle at Plumpton (2 1/2m) on his latest start. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and remains a consistent performer. Wide-margin winner on hurdle debut; didn't run badly when turned over at short odds since.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +24%) Assertive Walk		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(3) Assertive Walk 13/2, Bit green under pressure but made a promising start when third, beaten 7l, in a bumper at Chepstow on debut. Returns from a long absence. Placed in Chepstow bumper on debut in November 2024 but not seen since; market helpful.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -33%) Ignore The Door		16 16/1(-33%)																															(2) Ignore The Door 16/1, Stopped quickly under a penalty when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Effective over 2m7f, acts on good ground, though the form of his debut win has taken some knocks. Won run-of-the-mill 2m7f novice on rules debut but latest run was disappointing.
4	5 4th (5) (13/8 -144%) Pottersville		1.625 13/8(-144%)																															(5) Pottersville 13/8, Won easily when improving up in trip and dropping in class to land a novice hurdle at Exeter by 24l last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and continues to progress. Quickly bounced back from disappointing hurdle debut with easy win at Exeter; big player.

Fountains Blenhein hung away his chance when turned over at odds-on at Plumpton and must concede weight to a couple of promising novices. Pottersville banished a terrible jumping debut at Newbury to the memory when demolishing her Exeter rivals, but a chance is taken on the fitness of ASSERTIVE WALK. The O'Neill's five-year-old made a debut full of promise when third at Chepstow in November 2024 and can play his part in his yard's recent resurgence.

Impressive when winning against her own sex at Exeter in November, POTTERSVILLE looks a very good prospect and gets the nod.

1	1 1st (1) (1/16 +91%) Place De La Nation		0.0625 1/16(+91%)																															(1) Place De La Nation 1/16, Yard won this last year; benefitted from a drop in grade when winning a maiden hurdle at Thurles by 1 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m6f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Should progress further and looks useful, worth stepping back up in class after running well in Triumph in spring. Last year's Triumph Hurdle fifth, a bit laboured at Clonmel; capable of raising her game.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/1 +0%) Shesakindofmagic		11 11/1(+0%)																															(3) Shesakindofmagic 11/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field in the Coolmore NH Sires Luxembourg Mares I.N.H. Flat Race (Grade 2) at Leopardstown last time. Bumper winner previously. Trainer in form and returns from a long layoff, but plenty more required on hurdle debut. Promise in bumpers before tailed off in Grade 2 Leopardstown event, no hurdling experience.
3	4 3rd (4) (100/1 +60%) Talas Kera		100 100/1(+60%)																															(4) Talas Kera 100/1, Ran to form but was well beaten in a 4yo bumper here last time; generally consistent in that sphere but faces a stiff task on hurdle debut. Ordinary form in bumpers, this looks much too demanding for her hurdling debut.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 +39%) Moody Girl		20 20/1(+39%)																															(2) Moody Girl 20/1, Made mistakes and ran below debut form when stepped up in trip, well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time. Effective at 2m and acts with cut; needs to bounce back down in trip. Fair third over C&D on hurdling debut, appeared not to stay in a 2m5f Tramore maiden.

HIGHLAND CRYSTAL arrives unbeaten after comfortable wins at Punchestown and Newbury in a Listed Juvenile Hurdle, and off her low weight less Paddy Cleary's 7lb claim, she could land her hat-trick here. Willie Mullins' Triumph Hurdle fifth Place De La Nation is an obvious danger. She made a winning return at Thurles when staying on strongly over further but she could be tapped for toe over this distance, while bumper winner Shesakindofmagic is one to watch in the markets ahead of her hurdling bow.

Although PLACE DE LA NATION made heavy weather of things at Thurles, he can give the weight to the year-younger Highland Crystal

1	6 1st (6) (2/1 -33%) Falls Of Acharn		2 2/1(-33%)																															(6) Falls Of Acharn 2/1, Ran to form when winning a handicap at Cork by 2l last time on the Flat. Returns from a short break; represents a leading yard and looks very interesting on hurdling debut. 1m wins on last 2 Flat runs in Ireland; bought for 105,000gns; high on list on h'dle debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/10 +51%) Scarlet Moon		1.1 11/10(+51%)																															(1) Scarlet Moon 11/10, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in the Wirral Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) at Aintree last time, tiring late after racing freely. Likes to make the running, effective at 2m, acts on a sound surface and a multiple Flat winner in good hurdling form. Respectable Listed fourth at Aintree last time and he's a leading player under a penalty.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +11%) Arctic Voyage		8 8/1(+11%)																															(2) Arctic Voyage 8/1, Pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective over 2m and acts on heavy and good ground; has undergone a wind operation. Made the frame on first two hurdle runs but flopped at Catterick last time; wind op since.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +13%) Belaya River		7 7/1(+13%)																															(4) Belaya River 7/1, Made a bit too much use of but ran well for a long way on debut in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; should improve for that initial experience. There was promise in his recent fifth on hurdle/stable debut at Newbury and he's respected.
5th	8 5th (8) (150/1 -500%) Glenridding		150 150/1(-500%)																															(8) Glenridding 150/1, Beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield on the Flat last time. Returns from a break; well beaten on only previous hurdle start. Flat winner at ordinary level; soundly beaten on sole hurdle run; others preferred.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -100%) Canavan		50 50/1(-100%)																															(5) Canavan 50/1, Showed little on hurdling debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time. From a top yard; useful over middle distances on the Flat and may do better on second hurdle outing. 0-6 on the Flat and tailed over C&D on hurdle debut; may be best watched for now.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 +13%) Ashdown Forest		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Ashdown Forest 14/1, Well backed but disappointed on hurdling debut, comfortably held in a maiden at Doncaster last time. Blinkers go on for the first time; trainer in form. Consistent on the Flat at staying trips and may improve on second hurdle start. Disappointing favourite on hurdle debut and has to leave that run miles behind.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -213%) Flagstone		50 50/1(-213%)																															(7) Flagstone 50/1, Slowly away and not clear run when modest on debut, well beaten in a maiden at Galway on sole start. 28-1 when always behind on sole Flat start; a dramatic transformation is necessary.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -65%) Blondina		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) Blondina 33/1, Below par when beaten 8l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time on the Flat and has shown largely modest form. Needs to improve on hurdle debut. 0-6 on the Flat for Jim Bolger & didn't achieve much; others have far more pressing claims.
9	9 |F| (9) (125/1 -89%) Orphan Ollie		125 125/1(-89%)																															(9) Orphan Ollie 125/1, Well beaten on Flat start and showed nothing on hurdle debut in a maiden at Doncaster; plenty to prove at this stage. Tailed off in August on sole Flat start and same story when 50-1 for recent hurdle debut.

Scarlet Moon has taken well to the winter game and followed a breakthrough Warwick victory with a creditable fourth in Listed company at Aintree. It might be difficult to concede weight, though, particularly against FALLS OF ACHARN. The son of Sea The Moon signed off his Flat career with Jessica Harrington with a Leopardstown/Cork brace, which will have played no small part in him then fetching 105,000gns at the sales, and Paul Nicholls does well up here. Belaya River showed some ability at Newbury and is another to consider.

Paul Nicholls' new recruit FALLS OF ACHARN was progressive during a light career on the Flat in Ireland and can win on hurdle debut.

6	6 (6) (2/1 +0%) Seasmoke		2 2/1(+0%)																															(6) Seasmoke 2/1, Won by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Market Rasen two runs ago. Then ran to form when second, beaten 6l off 95, travelling well and out-battled late. Trainer in form; consistent over 2½–3m on good to soft or good ground. Winning hurdler who is 1-3 since switched to fences; the clear pick on recent form..
3	3 (3) (6/1 +0%) Jo Lescribaa		6 6/1(+0%)																															(3) Jo Lescribaa 6/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft or good to soft ground; must jump better but should build on that return effort. Dual chase winner last winter; failed to match that level since but difficult to ignore..
5	5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Bampton Star		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Bampton Star 7/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter on latest start. Effective over 3m and handles any ground; current mark looks demanding but does have an excellent course record. Latest run may have been needed; 3-4 over C&D and he has to enter calculations..
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Maximum Offers		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(1) Maximum Offers 7/2, Made mistakes and was outpaced when a promising fourth, beaten 30l, in a handicap chase at Taunton last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective from 2m to 3m and suited by a sound surface; could improve over fences. Needs to jump better after disappointing chase debut; the greater stamina test could suit.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +0%) Easy To Follow		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Easy To Follow 13/2, Raced too freely when taken on up front and finished fourth, beaten 46l, in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time. Effective around 2½m and prefers some cut; yet to show best over fences. Steps up in trip after a poor run latest but has claims if regaining her early chase form..
9	9 (9) (66/1 +0%) Emberscombe		66 66/1(+0%)																															(9) Emberscombe 66/1, Taken on up front and set it up for a closer when fourth, beaten 65l, in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 3m; a point winner but remains an exposed maiden under rules. Dual point winner but soundly beaten on both starts since returned to regulation fences..

SEASMOKE found only an in-form rival too strong when attempting to supplement a Market Rasen triumph at Southwell and can continue her good run of form off the same rating. Maximum Offers' jumping let him down when favourite for his chasing debut at Taunton, but the experience won't be lost on him and cheekpieces go on. Easy To Follow has slipped to an interesting mark, and Jo Lescribaa should be able to perform better than he did on his Uttoxeter return.

8yo SEASMOKE (nap) has the strongest recent form on offer and looks the safest option. Maximum Offers is feared most.

3	3 (3) (13/8 +41%) Captain Ryan Matt		1.625 13/8(+41%)																															(3) Captain Ryan Matt 13/8, Ran to form when third, beaten 13l, in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown on his latest start. Effective at 2m, handles all ground, and generally consistent and form has been franked at Graded level; likely type. Won maiden hurdle over C&D in August; form of latest handicap run looks very strong.
7	7 (7) (13/8 +19%) Kentucky Beach		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(7) Kentucky Beach 13/8, Stable won this race last year. Ran to form when pulling clear with a well-handicapped winner, beaten 4l off a 3lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m on soft ground, form franked since, and his mark looks generous. In good form, second to a progressive rival at Fairyhouse last month; bang there again.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +9%) Luminous Light		5 5/1(+9%)																															(2) Luminous Light 5/1, Held comfortably off a stiff mark in a handicap chase at Newbury last time but had been in good form beforehand. Trainer going well and looks a contender back over hurdles. Can refuse to race; Sean Flanagan back on a plus; fair mark back hurdling; chance.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +15%) Jupiter Du Gite		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(4) Jupiter Du Gite 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sandown last time; well treated on old UK chase form; acts with cut; big ask on stable debut. Form regressed for the Moores last season; makes Irish/stable debut after layoff; watch.
1	1 (1) (9/1 0%) Icare D'aubrelle		9 9/1(0%)																															(1) Icare D'aubrelle 9/1, Travelled and ran to form but made his move too soon off a strong pace when fourth, beaten 16l, in a Conditions Hurdle at Punchestown last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time, effective at 2m on soft ground but inconsistent early in his career. Bumper/maiden hurdle winner; best form on soft or heavy; in poor form; handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -38%) Fighting Fit		11 11/1(-38%)																															(5) Fighting Fit 11/1, May not have stayed on testing ground when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan most recently. Effective up to 2m5f and acts on yielding or good going. Drop back in trip should help and looks well treated on chase form. Weakened at Navan on latest (2m5f, heavy) but well treated relative to chase mark of 135.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +40%) My Gaffer		12 12/1(+40%)																															(8) My Gaffer 12/1, Paid the price for trying to go with the winner when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time. Likes to make the running and effective from 2m to 2½m on decent ground. Form has declined since a summer chase win, and conditions may not suit. Needs to improve markedly on his most recent efforts at Punchestown and Thurles.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -38%) Beautiful Chaos		22 22/1(-38%)																															(12) Beautiful Chaos 22/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap at Listowel last time. Had been in good form beforehand, returns from a break, and has a chance if resuming near her best. She had been running well in defeat on the Flat last year; yet to convince over timber.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -56%) Duke Otto		25 25/1(-56%)																															(10) Duke Otto 25/1, Finished fourth, beaten 7l, in a handicap at Dundalk last time. Effective at 2m and a generally consistent type, though now well exposed to the handicapper. All three wins over hurdles; not ruled out back over timber; never won off mark this high.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -150%) Black Soul		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) Black Soul 40/1, Disappointing on his flat return when down the field in a handicap at Navan last time. Returns from a short break, effective at 2m, but his opening mark looks demanding. Point/maiden hurdle winner; rookie trainer had gamble foiled at Leopardstown on Monday.
9	9 (9) (80/1 -142%) Toofareastiswest		80 80/1(-142%)																															(9) Toofareastiswest 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Limerick last time and returns from a long layoff. Unexposed in this sphere and fairly treated on chase form but unreliable. Pulled up at both Leopardstown and Limerick last March; best form is over much further.

KENTUCKY BEACH arrives here on the back of two seconds in recent months and even a 3lb rise for the latest of those efforts may not be enough to stop him from going one better on this occasion. Captain Ryan Matt bumped into two well-handicapped rivals at Punchestown last time and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Icare D'aubrelle, Luminous Light and Ellaat.

Producing a career-best when landing a C&D maiden hurdle in August, a return to this venue can see CAPTAIN RYAN MATT win again

Enjoys making the running; effective at 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground. A classy sort with more to offer. Smart hurdler who won in good style over fences at Wincanton last month; strong contender.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +0%) Califet En Vol		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(4) Califet En Vol 11/4, Ran to form on chase debut, let down by errors at key stages when closing to finish second, beaten 13l in a novice chase here latest. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and best on a sound surface. Plenty more to come when tidying up his jumping. Listed hurdle winner who may have needed the run over C&D on recent chase debut; dangerous.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +20%) Eagle Fang		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) Eagle Fang 4/1, Didn't need to be at hurdles best, but promising start when winning a beginners chase' at Thurles by 3/4l last time; effective 2m-2m6f, best on a sound surface; capable of better over fences. Useful hurdler who won on chase debut at Thurles in November; respected under penalty.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +54%) Miami Magic		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(5) Miami Magic 13/2, Improved from debut when 15l third in a beginners' chase at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground; a useful novice hurdler who has yet to match that level of form over fences. Good hurdler but he's been disappointing in two chase runs this autumn; something to prove.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +50%) Knight Of Allen		10 10/1(+50%)																															(2) Knight Of Allen 10/1, Ran to form down in trip on handicap debut when winning a handicap chase at Newbury by 3/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; almost certainly has more to offer but this demands more. Won a Newbury handicap last month but this is much tougher and he has plenty to find.

Narrowly beaten in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree last term, REGENT'S STROLL has taken well to the larger obstacles. He finished a promising third at Newbury in November prior to landing a match at Wincanton in good style and Paul Nicholls' charge looks one to keep the right side of. Califet En Vol offered plenty of encouragement when second here on his chasing bow and rates a bigger threat than the penalised winners Eagle Fang and Knight Of Allen.

This can go to REGENT'S STROLL, who looked an exciting recruit to chasing when beasting a useful rival at Wincanton last month.

Below par since his Cartmel win in May but still commands respect in this weak handicap.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +50%) Beat The Edge		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(4) Beat The Edge 11/4, Won this last year; below form in reapplied blinkers when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective up to 2m5f, acts on S, G; often finds little in finish. Disappointing here last Sunday, for all that he was hampered at one stage.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -400%) Imperial Rule		5.5 11/2(-400%)																															(1) Imperial Rule 11/2, Ran to form when tiring late back from a break, finishing 9 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Off a short break; effective around 2m4f on good ground; progressive and should improve from that run. C&D winner; shaped well after an absence two months ago and since had wind op.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +7%) El Muchacho		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(2) El Muchacho 13/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Sedgefield on his penultimate start but was a no-show from off the pace last time. Effective between 2m and 2m5f on a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Sedgefield winner in November but pretty poor either side of that; hard to trust.

IMPERIAL RULE has had wind surgery since finishing third at Sedgefield in early November and, if he improves for that on only his second start since December 2024, then he could prove hard to beat. Beat The Edge won this last year off 2lb lower and warrants respect, but he has not been at his best recently and December third Defence Witness may prove a bigger danger.

None of these are convincing. IMPERIAL RULE made a fairly promising return when behind El Muchacho two months ago.

Effective from 2m to 2½m on soft or good ground; generally consistent and unexposed at this trip. Just 1-10 over hurdles but gave excellent account when placed at Cheltenham last month.
7	7 (7) (7/2 -100%) Bobbi With An I		3.5 7/2(-100%)																															(7) Bobbi With An I 7/2, Game when beaten 1l off a 4lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective around 2½m but will need a bit more to defy this higher mark. Kept on well for second at Wincanton last time and still has low mileage; likely contender.
8	8 (8) (9/2 +44%) Lets Go To Vegas		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Lets Go To Vegas 9/2, Ran to form to win by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Haydock (2½m) last time, needing every yard in a strongly run race. Effective from 2½m to 3m and should improve again stepping back up in trip. Reeled in clear leader to score at Haydock last month, her first run after long absence.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +55%) I Spy A Diva		5 5/1(+55%)																															(2) I Spy A Diva 5/1, Fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Trainer in form. Suited by trips around 2½m though has run well over further; not ideally suited by soft ground. Disappointing in her last two starts, but drop back in trip should help. Ran well for a long way over 3m last month and may be better suited by this shorter trip.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +35%) Easy Love		5.5 11/2(+35%)																															(6) Easy Love 11/2, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Exeter last time. Effective between 2½m and 3m; highly tried in bumpers and had been progressing over hurdles before that effort. Flopped on latest outing but looked very promising beforehand; handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Looking As You Are		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Looking As You Are 7/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time, tiring late up the hill in stronger company. Effective between 2½m and 3m; consistent performer. Unraced on ground faster than good to soft but otherwise, has sound claims.
9	9 (9) (28/1 -100%) Springtime Legend		28 28/1(-100%)																															(9) Springtime Legend 28/1, Below form off a break when fourth, beaten 21l, in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective around 2m5f and probably best with plenty of give, though conditions may be on the fast side. Made low-ley seasonal debut last month but is open to improvement in handicaps.
3	3 (3) (40/1 -150%) Ring O Roses		40 40/1(-150%)																															(3) Ring O Roses 40/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time.

Almost two years on the sidelines has apparently done little to diminish LETS GO TO VEGAS' enthusiasm because she stuck her neck out admirably to prevail at Haydock. The third has won since to boost the form and, as long as she doesn't bounce, Alastair Ralph's mare can follow up. Bobbi With An I has been sent off favourite the last twice and her Wincanton second suggested her turn is imminent. Looking As You Are is expected to run her usual honest race, with Game Colours in with a shout too.

Top of the list is GAME COLOURS, who kept on well for a commendable third in a stronger race than this at Cheltenham last month.

Point and bumper winner, can be expected to build on a satisfactory hurdles run at Clonmel.

Two bumper runs, makes hurdling debut, trainer has a stronger candidate in Treasure Memory.
2	2 (2) (50/1 +38%) Better Times		50 50/1(+38%)																															(2) Better Times 50/1, Far too free and found little when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; hood on for the first time. Yet to match point form under rules and has plenty to prove. Runner-up in a point, one fair bumper run, jumped badly and tailed off in a maiden hurdle.

Plenty of stamina in the pedigree so the trip should be fine, likely to need experience.
9	9 (9) (125/1 +38%) Patsy's Pride		125 125/1(+38%)																															(9) Patsy's Pride 125/1, Ran to form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; handles cut and should improve for a longer trip but needs to do so. Point-to-point winner last January, soundly beaten in two maiden hurdle outings.

18	18 (18) (200/1 -150%) Gangster Granny		200 200/1(-150%)																															(18) Gangster Granny 200/1, Raced lazily, showed greenness and made mistakes when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles latest; effective at 2m. Multiple flat winner who may do better over hurdles in handicaps. Two Flat wins for Jessica Harrington, has hurdling experience, may need a handicap mark.
19	19 (19) (250/1 -150%) Walk In The Clouds		250 250/1(-150%)																															(19) Walk In The Clouds 250/1, Never threatened on modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; longer trip should suit but plenty to prove. Won a two-finisher point, early faller on hurdling debut, tailed off on second attempt.
17	17 (17) (250/1 -25%) Clash Gold		250 250/1(-25%)																															(17) Clash Gold 250/1, Failed to build on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Navan latest; has plenty to find. Fair bumper run last season on debut, tailed off at Navan last month on reappearance.

Mid-field in two maiden hurdle outings, will probably need to get a handicap mark.

With very little form to work with the vote goes to EMERALD POET, a Plumpton bumper winner for Willie Mullins who remains unexposed ahead of his hurdling debut. The runner-up and third have won since to frank the form, and after staying on well at the Sussex track, the extra yardage here may prove ideal. Clonmel third Spinningayarn can chase him home for the in-form Gordon Elliott with the better ground in his favour, while Treasure Memory could hit a top three finish once again.

The form of the Elliott stable is persuasive enough to give preference to SPINNINGAYARN over Treasure Memory and Emerald Poet

3	3 (3) (5/2 +29%) Marty Mcfly		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(3) Marty Mcfly 5/2, Up in trip and didn't stay but built on his reappearance when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap chase here last time; trainer in form; effective around 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good to firm; can do better back down in trip. Ran well for a long way before fading over 2m7f here last time; could have a big say.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +36%) Didntgotwenty		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(6) Didntgotwenty 7/2, May have found the ground a bit testing on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap at Ayr last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good; maiden who has shown only modest form. The drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces could help on his second chase start.
7	7 (7) (5/1 +75%) Parish Star		5 5/1(+75%)																															(7) Parish Star 5/1, Produced a poor effort when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; returning from a long layoff; tongue-tie on for the first time; has a lot to prove. 0-10 over hurdles and didn't achieve much, but new trainer enjoyed a fine December.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -118%) Fiveafterfour		6 6/1(-118%)																															(4) Fiveafterfour 6/1, Fell in a handicap chase here last time on debut; second run after a wind operation; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by plenty of cut; well treated on hurdle form with more to come over fences. Going nicely when falling 5 out here on chase debut; possible player granted a clear round.
2	2 (2) (7/1 -8%) Lord De Vinci		7 7/1(-8%)																															(2) Lord De Vinci 7/1, Travelled well but fitness gave way late, having looked a big threat when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; suited by 2 1/2m and acts on soft; minor chance on chase debut. Took a step forward over hurdles recently and the switch to fences may be a good move.
1	1 (1) (15/2 -15%) Ozzy Cosmo		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(1) Ozzy Cosmo 15/2, Below form back over hurdles when well beaten in a handicap at Ayr last time; has one fair effort over fences to his name; returns from a short break and not without a shout. Patchy profile but has shown promise over fences & could improve for November reappearance.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +10%) Cage Rattler		9 9/1(+10%)																															(5) Cage Rattler 9/1, Too keen up in trip and didn't stay when comfortably held in a 3m handicap hurdle here last time; suited by 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good; bit to prove on chase debut. On a reduced mark but 0-11 over hurdles and needs to better his recent performances.

FIVEAFTERFOUR had yet to show her hand when hitting the deck on her chasing bow here and was in the process of making a promising return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Providing that has left no lasting scars, she can begin to make up for lost time in a race that won't take much winning. Lord De Vinci wasn't beaten all that far on his Carlisle comeback and is bred to be better over fences. Keep Marty Mcfly in mind too.

The mare FIVEAFTERFOUR retains potential in this sphere despite a fall here on her chase debut and she earns the vote.

10	10 (10) (3/1 +0%) Limerick Lass		3 3/1(+0%)																															(10) Limerick Lass 3/1, Travelled strongly and was caught late when a very promising debut second, beaten a short head in a novice hurdle at Wincanton. Effective from 2m to 2m5f on good to soft ground; debut form franked and could make amends. Just missed out on Wincanton hurdling debut (2m5f); major contender..
3	3 (3) (4/5 +0%) Clondaw Park		0.8 4/5(+0%)																															(3) Clondaw Park 4/5, Unseated in a Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Newbury last time when still going well before the race developed. A point winner from a yard that can have them ready first time. Not done with when unseating in Listed novice on British debut latest; must be in the mix..
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Beauty In The Park		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Beauty In The Park 8/1, Probably made her move too soon up in trip on hurdle debut after a wind operation and needed the run when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. This is her second run after surgery and the drop in trip may help. Among the better bumper performers here, but well behind Limerick Lass on hurdling debut..
9	9 (9) (9/1 +0%) Lady Magic		9 9/1(+0%)																															(9) Lady Magic 9/1, Ran to form when winning a bumper at Le Lion-D'Angers by 1/4l last time; acts on soft and good ground; dual bumper winner should go close on hurdle and stable debut. Unseen since two 1m4f French bumper wins back in May (good/soft); may make a jumper..
15	15 (15) (20/1 +0%) Spring Serenade		20 20/1(+0%)																															(15) Spring Serenade 20/1, £30,000 Kingston Hill mare; half-sister to Ballyarthur, a very useful performer over 20f. Won sole start in points and worth a market check. Irish point winner around another undulating right-hander; check for market confidence..
11	11 (11) (28/1 +0%) Lydeard Girl		28 28/1(+0%)																															(11) Lydeard Girl 28/1, Rallied gamely and ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Taunton last time.

12	12 (12) (28/1 +0%) Miss Tiara		28 28/1(+0%)																															(12) Miss Tiara 28/1, Bit below form when down in trip and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective up to 2m5f on good to firm ground but hard to fancy here. 2m5f maiden second here in October; not one for blind confidence having bled twice..
13	13 (13) (33/1 +0%) Moonlight Stride		33 33/1(+0%)																															(13) Moonlight Stride 33/1, Modest effort when well beaten on bumper debut at Chepstow. Returning from a long layoff and difficult to fancy on hurdle debut. Limited promise about her bumper debut in April, but one likely to improve for hurdles..
14	14 (14) (80/1 +0%) Reel Orange		80 80/1(+0%)																															(14) Reel Orange 80/1, Outpaced and showed poor form when down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective at 2m and best with some cut, though recent form has declined. Already a regular here; unimproved by tongue tie in C&D 0-105 latest; cheekpieces go on..
5	5 (5) (125/1 +0%) Dancing Sky		125 125/1(+0%)																															(5) Dancing Sky 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell last time. A 3m point winner who may need further than this and more time to develop over hurdles. Irish point winner in early 2024 (3m, soft to heavy); yet to offer sufficient over here..
6	6 (6) (125/1 +0%) Half Pint Daisy		125 125/1(+0%)																															(6) Half Pint Daisy 125/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Trainer in form; acts on good to soft ground and may need another run for a mark. May make a hurdler, but hasn't lasted home in two starts over shorter trips than today's..
7	7 (7) (125/1 -25%) Harley's Pride		125 125/1(-25%)																															(7) Harley's Pride 125/1, Showed greenness and made mistakes when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and may need more time over hurdles. Irish/British bumper form not replicated over hurdles yet; one for modest handicaps later..
2	2 (2) (150/1 +40%) Bee's Kiss		150 150/1(+40%)																															(2) Bee's Kiss 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here last time. A 3m point winner who may need more time to develop under rules. Irish point winner on good, but offered too little on either hurdles run last month..

Limerick Lass came within a whisker of denying a filly who was already a winner over hurdles on her jumping bow at Wincanton with Beauty In The Park a well-beaten joint-favourite - and has every chance of going one better. However, CLONDAW PARK cost a whopping 320,000 pounds after scoring between the flags and was pitched straight into Listed company at Newbury. She was far from a spent force when getting rid of Paul O'Brien three out and looks a bright prospect. Lady Magic has won a couple of AQPS races in France so is worth a look.

Dropped down from the Listed class of her British debut, CLONDAW PARK is taken ahead of Wincanton runner-up Limerick Lass.

3	3 (3) (11/8 -25%) Did I Ask You That		1.375 11/8(-25%)																															(3) Did I Ask You That 11/8, From a yard that has won two of the last nine runnings of this race; slipped up in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time when going well. Effective at 2m6f and acts on soft ground; likely to be involved if improving and debut form has been franked emphatically. Has had his issues but the form of his last two hurdle starts looks strong; big player.
1	1 (1) (2/1 -14%) St Lawrence's Well		2 2/1(-14%)																															(1) St Lawrence's Well 2/1, Fell in a novice hurdle at Thurles last time when beaten; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on good ground. A point and bumper winner with debut form franked at Listed level, but needs to bounce back. Point/bumper winner is yet to convince in three hurdles starts but has a chance in this.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +36%) Pookie Holler		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(5) Pookie Holler 9/4, From a yard that has won two of the last nine runnings of this race; ran to form but needed the run when fourth, beaten 19l, in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2 1/2m with debut form franked at Graded level; should come on for that run and is a threat. Back from absence with staying-on fourth of 18 at Punchestown, ahead of American Jukebox.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +67%) American Jukebox		3 3/1(+67%)																															(2) American Jukebox 3/1, From a yard that won this race last year; needed the run on hurdle debut and ran well to a point when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time, effective at 2 1/2m, and should improve for that outing. Best bumper run was on yielding ground; last two runs forgiven in the mud; stable flying.
4	4 (4) (22/1 +12%) Moon Mission		22 22/1(+12%)																															(4) Moon Mission 22/1, Showed further improvement when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Usually held up and effective at 2m; consistent and should be competitive again. Good bumper run here; step up in trip could unlock more but might be one for handicaps.
8	8 (8) (80/1 -400%) Two Can Plan		80 80/1(-400%)																															(8) Two Can Plan 80/1, Buratino gelding; half-brother to To Dream, poor at 16f; dam fair at 5f; yard can get them ready first time in both codes. Flat-bred; dam placed 5f/6f, out of 5f Group 3 winner; market can reveal expectations.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -50%) The Last Minute		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) The Last Minute 150/1, Ran to form but was well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. A point winner who has shown little under rules so far. Modest record of 1-10 in points; tailed off in all three starts under rules; can rule out.
6	6 (6) (250/1 -279%) River Kingdom		250 250/1(-279%)																															(6) River Kingdom 250/1, Outpaced but showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Clonmel on sole start. Returns from a short break and looks difficult to fancy on hurdle debut. Never a factor on bumper debut at Clonmel in November; hard to recommend on hurdles bow.

DID I ASK YOU THAT was still in with a big chance when he slipped up before three out in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November. The eight-year-old had been off the track for a year prior to that, but could prove to be a class above this field on the pick of his form. Pookie Holler's fourth last time suggests that he is next best, ahead of St Lawrence's Well.

The promise of drying ground and first-time cheekpieces can see AMERICAN JUKEBOX gain a first victory for red-hot Gordon Elliott

6	6 (6) (6/4 -9%) Shebara		1.5 6/4(-9%)																															(6) Shebara 6/4, Made a promising debut when runner-up, beaten 3l, in a novice at Kempton on her only start. Off a short break; effective at 8f on all-weather and looks capable of further progress. Promising 2nd at Kempton (1m) 80 days ago; open to improvement; solid claims.

4	4 (4) (40/1 -264%) Charming Doll		40 40/1(-264%)																															(4) Charming Doll 40/1, Finished as if likely to stay further when 4 1/4l third in a novice at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f, should stay 8f, and acts on all-weather; handicaps look more suitable. Better effort when third at Kempton (7f) after six months off; this demands even more.

Up against it on debut. 40,000gns yearling; has 2 winning siblings but other newcomers hold stronger paper claims.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -200%) Cospicua		150 150/1(-200%)																															(5) Cospicua 150/1, Took a step back from her debut when finishing down the field in a novice here last time. Likely to want 10f or further; one for handicaps at three. 50-1 and well beaten in two runs in late 2025; minor handicaps beckon..

SHEBARA got closest to a short-priced favourite with previous experience when making an encouraging debut at Kempton and that just about sets the standard. She has slightly more scope for improvement than Areti, although the daughter of Hello Youmzain certainly has the talent to get involved. Bint Kilfrush cost 550,000 euros as a yearling and has to be taken seriously ahead of her introduction.

There are some interesting newcomers on show and BINT KILFRUSH is tentatively preferred to Arrivera.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, acts on soft and good ground, and has potential to rate higher over fences. Disappointing last time but otherwise a largely productive sort; not written off.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m; progressive and unexposed at staying trips. Record of 1152 in hood; might have won at Sandown last time but for jumping left.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -38%) Herakles Westwood		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(3) Herakles Westwood 11/2, Outpaced and unsuited by the way the race developed, needing a stiffer test when fourth beaten 6l in the Turners Handicap Chase here last time. Trainer in form; effective at 3m and beyond, suited by cut, better than that latest effort suggests. Shaped well at Cheltenham in last two outings; threatening to win a race of this nature.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -75%) Katate Dori		7 7/1(-75%)																															(4) Katate Dori 7/1, Not best placed when comfortably held in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective at 3m, acts on any going, and could bounce back. Form in major handicaps includes a win last February and respectable effort latest start.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -23%) Does He Know		8 8/1(-23%)																															(1) Does He Know 8/1, Returned to form back from a break and was suited by the decent ground when landing a Veterans' Handicap Chase by 17l off a 6lb lower mark at Haydock last time. Effective at 3m, acts on soft and good ground, and remains on a competitive mark. Scored easily at Haydock on reappearance; 4-10 at Cheltenham; may remain competitive.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +6%) Inch House		8 8/1(+6%)																															(6) Inch House 8/1, Jumped poorly when pulled up in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time.

5	5 (5) (12/1 -50%) Excello		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Excello 12/1, From a yard that won this last year; disappointing up in trip and may have found the ground a bit soft when finishing down the field in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree most recently. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on decent ground and could bounce back. Contrasting efforts over the National fences at Aintree this term; not sure what to expect.

Does He Know ended a barren spell when landing a veterans' chase at Haydock on his reappearance. It remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort raised 6lb and HERAKLES WESTWOOD makes more appeal. Warren Greatrex's chaser faced a tougher assignment when fourth in a Grade 3 handicap here last month and this looks more his level. Excello could also bounce back on this faster surface, while New Order lurks at the bottom of the weights and can make his presence felt.

Judged on his recent course form, HERAKLES WESTWOOD looks the one to side with. Katate Dori is second choice.

Bumper winner; only 100-30 when departing three out at Huntingdon.

Her first real blip in bumpers when well beaten in a Listed race last time.

Tailed off in a Tipperary bumper on good to yielding in May; new trainer fits a hood.

Very limited Flat maiden who was a remote fifth on hurdling debut in October.

Inedit D'amour is one to consider after finishing third at Carlisle before failing to see it out over further at the same track, but he may have to settle for a place if NOT FOR PASSIN puts in a clear round. He lived up to his name to take a Perth bumper last May, but pulled too hard on his return at Huntingdon, falling three out. With that run under his belt he could do a lot better now, with Have Secret another to watch out for.

Bumper winner NOT FOR PASSIN was quite short in the market when departing on his hurdling debut and is given another chance.

Effective from 2m to 2 1/4m, handles soft and good ground, and should have plenty more to offer over fences. Off the mark in minor 2m Plumpton maiden hurdle; respectable chase debut; can improve.

1	1 (1) (15/2 +0%) Admiral Stewart		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(1) Admiral Stewart 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Southwell last time; effective at 2m and handles soft ground. His current mark looks too high. Won Irish point and 2m hurdle; capitulated tamely once headed over fences latest.

Bond Broker will try to put his experience to good use after three starts over fences, but he has been beaten a long way each time and it would be no surprise if KOUKEO made a winning start over the larger obstacles. A hurdles winner at Exeter, he is related to plenty of winning chasers in France and gets to race here off bottom weight. Norn Iron may prove his biggest threat if he brushes up his jumping after his Warwick second.

Koukeo is not passed over lightly on his chase debut but this trip will perhaps play more to the strengths of NORN IRON.

18	18 (18) (7/2 +65%) Midleton Rare		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(18) Midleton Rare 7/2, Won by 2l off 8lb lower at Limerick in October. Ran to form when ninth beaten 14l off 93 last time. Significant jockey booking; effective 2 1/2m with cut and remains well treated on bumper form. Makes a quick reappearance after unplaced Limerick run, better judged on Navan third.
22	22 (22) (7/2 +42%) Teds Corner		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(22) Teds Corner 7/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m on yielding ground; yet to match promising debut but in fair form. Good chance based on his third placing here in November, appeared not to stay 3m on latest.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +13%) Dollar Nolimit		7 7/1(+13%)																															(3) Dollar Nolimit 7/1, Needed the run and ran well to a point when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective 2-2 1/2m on heavy or yielding ground. Well treated on past efforts but must prove ability remains after a layoff. Shaped well after a long absence when fourth over 2m here on stable debut, definite chance.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -25%) Watching The Clock		10 10/1(-25%)																															(6) Watching The Clock 10/1, Won by 3 1/2l off 11lb lower at Gowran Park three starts back. Ran to form when fourth beaten 11l off 104 last time, having too much to do. Effective 2-2 1/2m on good and soft ground; progressing and has more to come. Won at Gowran on handicap debut, two fourth placings since then, needs to raise her game.
21	21 (21) (11/1 +8%) Spanish John		11 11/1(+8%)																															(21) Spanish John 11/1, Won by 4l off 31lb lower at Bellewstown in October and ran to form when second beaten 3 1/4l off 86 last time. Effective 12f on the flat and 2m-2m4f over hurdles; acts on any ground and remains in good form. Two Flat wins, 1-17 over hurdles, last month's Clonmel second suggests he can go close.
20	20 (20) (12/1 +0%) Alright Darling		12 12/1(+0%)																															(20) Alright Darling 12/1, Improved back up in trip when landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off 8lb lower at Tramore last time. Effective 2 1/2-3m; consistent at a modest level, track suits and should remain competitive. Fortunate winner at Thurles in October, no doubt about the merit of Tramore win, respected.
13	13 (13) (12/1 +52%) Nelsons Dawn		12 12/1(+52%)																															(13) Nelsons Dawn 12/1, Yard won this last year. Flattened out after a late error at a stiff track when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective at 2m on soft ground; inconsistent so far. Would have finished closer at Navan but for a bad mistake at the last, each-way chance.
14	14 (14) (14/1 -40%) Classy Cc		14 14/1(-40%)																															(14) Classy Cc 14/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when third beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective at 2m on good ground; not entirely reliable to build on latest run. Fair third in a small-field handicap last time, will need to raise her game to feature.
15	15 (15) (14/1 0%) Leah's Contessa		14 14/1(0%)																															(15) Leah's Contessa 14/1, Below form up in class when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and prefers soft ground. Out of form. Not much merit in this season's form but worth noting she won a C&D maiden last January.
23	23 (23) (16/1 +11%) Johnny Cakes		16 16/1(+11%)																															(23) Johnny Cakes 16/1, Had too much to do behind the all-the-way winner when fourth beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective 2 1/2-3m on heavy and good ground; generally in good form. Only one win from 18 starts over hurdles, mild encouragement from recent Punchestown run.
5	5 (5) (18/1 +28%) Oneforgonzo		18 18/1(+28%)																															(5) Oneforgonzo 18/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective at 3m and handles cut in the ground; was in form before latest run. Wins were gained back-to-back in April 2024, cheekpieces tried after moderate Limerick run.
19	19 (19) (25/1 -25%) Another Girl		25 25/1(-25%)																															(19) Another Girl 25/1, Every chance but found little when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Consistent at 2-2 1/2m on good ground but may struggle on winter conditions. Beaten over 20l in seventh over C&D last time, chance based on Gowran second in October.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -180%) The Guinness Boys		28 28/1(-180%)																															(2) The Guinness Boys 28/1, Ran below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time. Effective at 2m on yielding and good ground. Capable of better for a good yard now back in handicaps. Ordinary maiden form, worth a market check now that he steps up in trip for handicap debut.
1	1 (1) (33/1 -175%) Insouciant Dallier		33 33/1(-175%)																															(1) Insouciant Dallier 33/1, Rallied gamely to return to form when winning a maiden hurdle at Sligo by 3/4l last time. Off a short break and effective over 2 1/2-3m on soft and good ground. Inconsistent but could be well treated back in a handicap. Had this rider aboard when winning a Sligo maiden on yard debut, could be on the upgrade.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -136%) Fedneys Park		33 33/1(-136%)																															(7) Fedneys Park 33/1, Below form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time. Effective around 3m in points and handles soft ground. May improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut but needs to show it. Point winner, most recent maiden outing was poor, up in trip now, may find his level.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -65%) Queen Nel		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Queen Nel 33/1, Outpaced and possibly found the ground too quick when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; was in form until latest. Ran well over C&D in April considering she made mistakes and finished lame, off since June.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -60%) Mi Lucky Cailin		40 40/1(-60%)																															(8) Mi Lucky Cailin 40/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m and had been consistent prior to that effort. Bumper winner, 0-14 over hurdles, runner-up four times, place chance at best.
12	12 (12) (50/1 -100%) Arabian King		50 50/1(-100%)																															(12) Arabian King 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time. Trainer in form. Returning from a long layoff; effective 2 1/2-3m on good ground. Likely to need this run. Best known as a four-time AW winner, 1-17 over hurdles, no recent form, has changed stable.
16	16 (16) (50/1 -52%) Schiehallion		50 50/1(-52%)																															(16) Schiehallion 50/1, Fell early in a handicap hurdle here last time. Suited by 3m on a sound surface. Generally consistent maiden but may struggle if rain arrives. 16-race maiden, stays well enough but hard to be confident about his prospects.
24	24 (24) (50/1 -52%) Shanroe Nancy		50 50/1(-52%)																															(24) Shanroe Nancy 50/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground when down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time, despite market support. Returning from a long layoff; effective 2m on good ground but yet to prove up to this mark. Down the field in two handicap outings over C&D last season, needs massive improvement.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -100%) Mon Coeur		66 66/1(-100%)																															(4) Mon Coeur 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m on good ground. Fairly treated on flat form but has a bit to prove over hurdles. Bumper and Flat winner, getting on in years, pulled up on his most recent hurdles outing.
10	10 (10) (66/1 -32%) Lady Bluebird		66 66/1(-32%)																															(10) Lady Bluebird 66/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective at 2 1/2m but currently out of form. Nothing in her four 2025 starts encourages support, down the field at Navan last month.
25	25 (25) (80/1 -400%) Venturevango		80 80/1(-400%)																															(25) Venturevango 80/1, Poor run down the field in a maiden hurdle here last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; has yet to show any worthwhile form and likely needs more time. Weak form in maidens, perhaps some chance she will find her level now, cheekpieces added.
17	17 (17) (100/1 -52%) Buckaway Freddie		100 100/1(-52%)																															(17) Buckaway Freddie 100/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m on soft ground but struggling in handicaps. Placed in a small-field bumper, has struggled in three starts since joining this stable.

LTO Selection:

---

Midleton Rare won a bumper here in 2023 and has scored once since over hurdles at Limerick. If he reacts positively to first-time cheekpieces, he could mount a challenge. Connections persevere with Dollar Nolimit who had his first run in 23 months when fourth over 2m here recently. He could go well with that run under his belt, but Sligo maiden hurdle winner INSOUCIANT DALLIER might be the one. He had something in hand that day and an added 4lb may not be enough to stop him.

It may be worth taking a chance NELSONS DAWN who had run a pleasing race up to the point of a last-flight blunder at Navan

1	1 (1) (5/2 +44%) Wise Eagle		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(1) Wise Eagle 5/2, Probably needed the run when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell on the Flat last time. This is his second start since a wind operation; effective from 2m to 2m3f, handles soft and good, and may be competitive given Flat form. Unexposed over hurdles; has potential off this mark in view of his abundant Flat ability.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +30%) Moonbow		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Moonbow 7/2, Improved again when allowed a relatively easy lead and was beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Aintree last time. Returns from a short break; effective at around 2 1/2m, handles good to soft and good; progressive profile. Won first two handicaps and runner-up at Aintree next time; could have a big part to play.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +0%) Fasol		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) Fasol 4/1, Improved when dropped in grade to win a novice hurdle at Wincanton by 2l last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 2m, handles good to soft and good; consistent type with a fair mark. Won 1m7f novice hurdle last time and could have more to offer for top yard back up in trip.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +0%) Smokeringinthedark		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(5) Smokeringinthedark 11/2, Probably needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Trainer is in form; effective from 2m to 3m and acts on good to soft; could return to form now having had a recent outing. C&D maiden winner in December 2024; mixed fortunes since but retains potential.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +0%) Serious Chat		9 9/1(+0%)																															(3) Serious Chat 9/1, Improved back down in trip under a positive ride when landing a handicap by 5l off a 6lb lower mark at Doncaster last time. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3m and looks progressive. Three wins from his last five starts; clearly on the up and he's entitled to respect.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Bel Amigo		12 12/1(+14%)																															(7) Bel Amigo 12/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles soft and good ground; looks on a fair mark. Running respectably in handicaps but without threatening the winner; needs something extra.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -113%) Chanonry Point		16 16/1(-113%)																															(9) Chanonry Point 16/1, Confirmed useful bumper form when winning a maiden hurdle here by 3l last time. Effective at 2m and handles soft and good to soft; had to work hard late but may still have more to offer. 2-2 here (bumper/maiden hurdle); could improve further now upped in trip on handicap debut.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -100%) Bold Light		20 20/1(-100%)																															(4) Bold Light 20/1, Won this race last year; returned to form when fourth, beaten 14l, in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time after benefiting from a reappearance run. Effective at about 2 1/2m, handles soft and good to soft; consistent performer. Won this last year and is on a handy mark but didn't shine on his two runs in autumn.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -56%) Heart Above		28 28/1(-56%)																															(8) Heart Above 28/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Kelso on his penultimate start but was below form on soft ground last time. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m, handles good to soft and good; consistent, with better ground a positive. 2 wins in the autumn; below par last month but today's return to better ground could help.

Lucinda Russell won this for the second time in four runnings when Alan Doyle drove Bold Light home 12 months ago, although he is 8lb higher now and the stable might have stronger claims with improving novice Chanonry Point. Serious Chat arrives in fine form, but he was hammered by WISE EAGLE at Catterick just over a year ago and Adam Nicol's top-weight remains well treated in this sphere. Fasol and Moonbow also command attention in a really competitive renewal.

Talented Flat stayer WISE EAGLE (nap) could have plenty more to offer at this sort of trip over hurdles and he's on an attractive mark.

2	2 (2) (1/6 +58%) Sober Glory		0.166667 1/6(+58%)																															(2) Sober Glory 1/6, Finished fourth, beaten 19l, in the Claremont Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Sandown last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft. Classy in bumpers and his debut form reads well, but must bounce back after latest effort. Nothing found to explain his flop last time; earlier form gives him standout claims.
7	7 (7) (15/2 -114%) Gambino		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(7) Gambino 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l, in a handicap at Gowran Park last time. Showed high quality form on the flat in Ireland. Trainer in form and returns from a break but could get involved on hurdle debut. Pretty useful Irish Flat form (ran twice) demands respect and he's joined top jumping yard.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Blowers		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Blowers 8/1, Improved under an aggressive ride and was game when winning a maiden hurdle here by 3/4l last time. Effective at 2m and handles ground with cut, but needs more to follow up. Going in at 300-1 over C&D (heavy) was the longest-priced win in British racing history.
9	9 (9) (10/1 -11%) Nice One Eric		10 10/1(-11%)																															(9) Nice One Eric 10/1, Ran well for a long way on debut before finishing well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newbury. Effective at 2m and should benefit from the drop in class over hurdles. Open to improvement after a Worcester bumper and Newbury maiden; each-way player.
6	6 (6) (22/1 +45%) Dino Moon		22 22/1(+45%)																															(6) Dino Moon 22/1, Outpaced and modest debut effort when well beaten in a bumper at Ascot on only start. That was a good race but faces a stiff task on hurdle debut. 28-1 for a bumper at Ascot (good) six weeks ago, fading to tail off in last of six.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +18%) Devon Paige		66 66/1(+18%)																															(5) Devon Paige 66/1, Outpaced on debut and well beaten in a bumper at Taunton on only start. Has it all to do. 100-1 for bumper at Taunton (2m, good to firm) five weeks ago and faded to go down by 15l.
8	8 (8) (66/1 +18%) Manhattan Valley		66 66/1(+18%)																															(8) Manhattan Valley 66/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time. Acts on good to soft and likely to need further in time. Irish point winner who showed modest form at triple-figure odds in three hurdle races.
10	10 (10) (80/1 +47%) Tobi Kanobee		80 80/1(+47%)																															(10) Tobi Kanobee 80/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle here last time and has yet to show anything under rules. Nothing to shout about from a bumper, four points and a C&D novice.
4	4 (4) (100/1 +50%) Arnie Moon		100 100/1(+50%)																															(4) Arnie Moon 100/1, Outpaced and showed little when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle here last time. Has plenty to prove. Some promise on debut; beaten about 60l since at Chepstow and Exeter, hurdle debut latest.

The SOBER GLORY bubble burst at Sandown, but that was surely too bad to be true. Prior to that, the five-year-old looked one of the more exciting novice hurdlers when adding a Chepstow maiden hurdle to a flawless bumper campaign and a success between the flags, and he is given another chance. Blowers created history over C&D but needs to prove that wasn't a fluke and Gambino, who achieved a rating of 83 during a limited Flat career in Ireland, is feared more.

Sandown was disappointing but SOBER GLORY looked a fine prospect before that. Irish Flat winner Gambino is feared most.

2	2 (2) (10/3 +5%) Digital		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(2) Digital 10/3, Front-running tactics suited when back to better form to land a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; up 3lb and may be anchored slightly. Made all over C&D 13 days ago; has been rated much higher in the past so respected.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +8%) Last Outlaw		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(3) Last Outlaw 11/2, A touch free but below par again when beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; form has tailed off this year but mark is lower now. Both wins have come over 5f so well worth a second look back in trip; cheekpieces on.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +21%) Henery Hawk		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(5) Henery Hawk 11/2, Bit below form when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; suited by 5f and acts on all-weather; tends to get behind and may need a pace collapse to feature. Four of his six wins have come over C&D; 2lb lower than for the latest in July.
11	11 (11) (7/1 -75%) Shatin Venture		7 7/1(-75%)																															(11) Shatin Venture 7/1, Lost the race at the start but ran fairly in the circumstances when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective at 5f and acts on all-weather; on a very workable mark. 1-16; running well in handicaps lately, but a bit more is needed if he is to win one.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -167%) Latin Five		16 16/1(-167%)																															(7) Latin Five 16/1, Ran to form off a reduced mark to land a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; usually held up and drawn wide; suited by 5f and acts on all-weather; up 3lb but mark remains competitive. Last three wins have come over C&D; capable of playing a part if getting a strong pace.
12	12 (12) (20/1 -150%) Under Curfew		20 20/1(-150%)																															(12) Under Curfew 20/1, Not the best trip but ran moderately when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 5/6f, stays 7f and acts on all-weather; erratic performer. Losing run of 17 and a record of 2-48 on the AW tempers enthusiasm.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) Prince Of Bel Lir		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Prince Of Bel Lir 25/1, Below form for the second time after a layoff when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; trainer in form; effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; plenty to prove now. Recent efforts need improving upon; drops to 5f for the first time; visor on.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -100%) Invincible Annice		28 28/1(-100%)																															(6) Invincible Annice 28/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when ninth beaten 5 1/2l off 55 last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; has lost form of late. Won off 3lb lower over C&D in November, but well held in all three starts back here since.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -32%) Wee Mary		33 33/1(-32%)																															(9) Wee Mary 33/1, Poor effort when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; drawn wide; suited by 5f and acts on all-weather; out of form. 0-13 and needs a bit more for last year's winning stable.
1	1 (1) (50/1 -25%) La Rochette		50 50/1(-25%)																															(1) La Rochette 50/1, Poor effort off a layoff when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time; her mark is easing but there was no sign of better form after the break. 0-9 since joining this yard; down in grade but still hard to warm to.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -32%) Stroxx		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Stroxx 66/1, Looked to need sharpening up after a break when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective at 5/6f and wants a sound surface; may do better now he has a run under his belt. C&D winner just under a year ago, but well beaten on his return here 16 days ago.

Henery Hawk has four wins here, the latest off 2lb higher in July. He can go well but the vote goes to LITTLE MI MI, who was beaten three-quarters of a length by Digital here last month. She meets that rival on 3lb better terms, which ought to see her reverse the form, and Mohammed Tabti's 3lb claim is a bonus. Jim Goldie took a division of this with a four-year-old last year, making Wee Mary another of interest.

The vote goes to DIGITAL who responded well to the returning cheekpieces when making all over C&D 13 days ago.

Won C&D chase in November; good form since; lower hurdles mark here turned out quickly.
3	3 (3) (9/2 -13%) Pebble Bleu		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(3) Pebble Bleu 9/2, Ran to form showing a willing attitude when landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective from 2m5f to 3m; fairly treated on chase form and could follow up. Got up late to land a gamble here last time and the form has been franked; big chance.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -8%) Maciver		7 7/1(-8%)																															(5) Maciver 7/1, Pulled up in a Thurles handicap chase last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on any surface; fairly treated over hurdles and could build on latest effort in this sphere. Non-stayer in Thurles chase (25.5f) on latest; dual winner around here; not ruled out.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +7%) Lady Nightingale		7 7/1(+7%)																															(8) Lady Nightingale 7/1, Outpaced and below form on chase debut when down the field in a Thurles handicap chase most recently; visor first time; effective at 2 1/2m on yielding and good ground; out of form at present. Visor applied on second run for shrewd local yard so watch the betting closely.
10	10 (10) (17/2 +39%) Roccabaker		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(10) Roccabaker 17/2, Again below form on testing ground when beaten 5 1/2l in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last time; effective at 2 1/2m on soft ground; inconsistent since a layoff. Plugged on well when 5.5l sixth of 16 at Clonmel (19.5f, heavy) last month; considered.
9	9 (9) (17/2 -6%) Oogum Boogum		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(9) Oogum Boogum 17/2, Up in trip and may not have stayed when well beaten in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last time; had been in good form prior; effective from 2m2f to 2m6f on soft and good ground; maiden who had been running into form until latest. Good third here on penultimate so he's in the mix if he can bounce back from awful effort.
12	12 (12) (10/1 +44%) Amburana		10 10/1(+44%)																															(12) Amburana 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off this mark here last time; effective at 2m and may stay further in time; latest form has been franked and she could be finding form. 4l fourth to Pebble Bleu here on latest, every chance until furlong marker; same mark.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +50%) Ardera Gun		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) Ardera Gun 10/1, Yard has won two of the last nine renewals; found the ground too testing when down the field in a Cork handicap hurdle most recently; visor first time; effective at 2m on yielding and good ground; still early days and must bounce back. Has fared best in bumpers; finished a long way behind in two handicaps; new headgear now.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -118%) Blossom De Mai		12 12/1(-118%)																															(13) Blossom De Mai 12/1, Ran to form though well beaten in a Wexford handicap hurdle last time; returns from a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m on any surface; holding form. No win since here (2m5f, soft) in November 2023 off this mark; penultimate run offers hope.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -67%) Mullanour		20 20/1(-67%)																															(6) Mullanour 20/1, Pulled up in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by soft ground; inconsistent but on a fair chase mark. Went close in C&D handicap last April off 91 but no sign of that form since.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -133%) Ilbdare		28 28/1(-133%)																															(2) Ilbdare 28/1, Improved when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Sligo last time; returns from a short break; effective at 3m on good ground; unreliable but latest form has been boosted. Sligo is his favoured track; in good form but might want further than this.
14	14 (14) (28/1 -75%) Fancy Prospect		28 28/1(-75%)																															(14) Fancy Prospect 28/1, Yard has won two of the last nine renewals; made too much use of back from a break and needed the run when well beaten in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last time; effective at 2 3/4m on soft ground; must leave reappearance form behind. Remote 5th in this race last year; well beaten on return at Punchestown; others preferred.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -122%) Chasing Crowns		40 40/1(-122%)																															(7) Chasing Crowns 40/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a Limerick handicap hurdle last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 3m on good ground; inconsistent performer. Tailed off last time at Limerick (heavy) but could figure on better ground; new headgear.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -100%) Cruisin Susan		66 66/1(-100%)																															(15) Cruisin Susan 66/1, Raced lazily and ran poorly when well beaten in a Wexford handicap hurdle last time; usually held up; returns from a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m but out of form. Won twice in the summer of 2024 but hard to fancy on what she's shown so far this season.
16	16 (16) (100/1 -100%) Glorious Singer		100 100/1(-100%)																															(16) Glorious Singer 100/1, Never involved when down the field in a Cork handicap hurdle most recently; blinkers first time; effective at 2 1/2m; regressive maiden. Still a maiden after 40 attempts under rules; makes no appeal; blinkers.

PLEASUREOFPRESSURE could be the one in this competitive handicap hurdle, as he might not need much improvement on his latest course second in order to go one place better. Maciver likes it here and ought to go well back over timber following a lacklustre fencing display at Thurles. It is also worth keeping a close eye on Aclass and Pebble Bleu.

Plenty of late money was rewarded for PEBBLE BLEU backers here last time and she's well equipped to see off the 4lb rise

4	4 (4) (10/3 +39%) Chale Chalo		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(4) Chale Chalo 10/3, Had a good trip on the inner, game in cheekpieces and ran to best when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Suited by 6-7f and acts on the all-weather. Consistent, though the new mark may just anchor. Led late when winning at Lingfield (7f) four weeks ago; gelded since; unexposed at trip.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +30%) Luminare		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(5) Luminare 7/2, Quickened best off a slow pace when landing a handicap by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 5-7f and acts on the all-weather. Progressive and has a chance. Off the mark for this yard when beating 3 rivals at Newcastle latest; not ruled out up 3lb.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -64%) Galileo Island		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(1) Galileo Island 9/2, Finished best, looking like 1m would suit better when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Effective at 7-8f and acts on the all-weather. On a very workable mark. Good 2nd at Kempton three weeks ago; in the mix with a repeat but more exposed than some.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +10%) Gorey Gold		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Gorey Gold 9/2, Ran to form and was slightly short of room near the line when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time. Effective at 6-7f and acts on the all-weather. Very consistent. Good effort back up to 7f last time; should run his race but vulnerable to improvers.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -83%) Generous Rascal		5.5 11/2(-83%)																															(3) Generous Rascal 11/2, Came clear with the winner but probably went a bit too quick when second, beaten 5l in a novice at Kempton latest. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Tired late last time and can do better with steadier fractions. Tough task last time and his earlier win was a good effort; stamina for 7f not assured.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +13%) Tactical Formation		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Tactical Formation 7/1, Too keen but ran to form when beaten 6l, finishing third in a novice here on latest run. Wears a visor for the first time. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Respected. Modest 6f form; up in trip and visored for handicap debut; opening mark looks tough.
8	8 (8) (18/1 -64%) Uniter		18 18/1(-64%)																															(8) Uniter 18/1, Raced too freely in first-time blinkers when beaten 9l in a nursery at Kempton last time. Wears a visor first time. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to settle to show his potential, and the mark looks a little stiff. Hasn't progressed from a promising debut; drops in trip in a change of headgear.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -100%) Sahara Magic		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Sahara Magic 50/1, Bit below debut form and slightly disappointing when beaten 8 1/4l in a novice here last time. From a top course trainer. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Has a little bit to prove after the two latest runs. 6f win here on debut; held under penalty twice since; upped in trip for handicap debut.

Luminare and Chale Chalo both arrive after doubling their career win tallies, while Galileo Island is reliable and possibly bumped into a well-treated Godolphin youngster at Kempton. Generous Rascal is interesting now going handicapping but so is TACTICAL FORMATION, who cost 360,000gns at the breeze-ups and has shown a decent level of ability so far. The step up from 6f might see him in a better light and his initial mark of 73 could be lenient.

7f is an unknown for GENEROUS RASCAL but he has shown plenty of ability and doesn't look overburdened for his handicap debut.

3	3 (3) (4/1 +33%) Twinjets		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Twinjets 4/1, Improved again under a positive ride when winning a handicap chase by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Newbury last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles good to soft and good ground; a career-best effort is required again. Made all for 10l success at Newbury, taking record this term to 2-2; better than ever.
8	8 (8) (5/1 -25%) Glengouly		5 5/1(-25%)																															(8) Glengouly 5/1, Run of race, improved on recent efforts in landing the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-3m, acts with cut; new mark asks more but he can again go well. Made all in the December Gold Cup over C&D last month; major player off 3lb higher.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +57%) Matata		6 6/1(+57%)																															(2) Matata 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 9 1/2l into third in a handicap chase at Kelso on his latest start. Likes to go forward, effective around 2m and handles any ground, but needs to dominate to show his best. Very useful 2m chaser on his day; something to prove back up in distance.
9	9 (9) (6/1 -50%) Just Over Land		6 6/1(-50%)																															(9) Just Over Land 6/1, Improved again when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow last time. Effective from 2m to 2m5f and handles heavy and good ground; faces a tough task from well out of the weights. Two from two this term; out of weights upped in class but is open to further progress.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +25%) Il Ridoto		6 6/1(+25%)																															(5) Il Ridoto 6/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase here last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground, though recent efforts have been inconsistent. Has several pieces of good form over C&D, including two wins; on a handy mark.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +13%) Riskintheground		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(4) Riskintheground 13/2, Stable has won two of the last five renewals. Travelled well but may not have stayed when down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury most recently. Trainer in form; effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground but possibly high enough in the weights now. New mark has kicked in but this drop back in trip is a plus; has won over C&D.
6	6 (6) (10/1 0%) Grandeur D'ame		10 10/1(0%)																															(6) Grandeur D'ame 10/1, Failed to stay when upped in trip and finished down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on any going; a capable but unreliable performer. Has bits of C&D form, notably close second to Moon d'Orange last January.
7	7 (7) (12/1 0%) Moon D'orange		12 12/1(0%)																															(7) Moon D'orange 12/1, Made mistakes and may not have stayed when down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective around 2m4f; current mark looks on the stiff side. Return to this scenario may have positive effect; gained sole chase win over C&D.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -238%) Jungle Boogie		22 22/1(-238%)																															(1) Jungle Boogie 22/1, Did too much too soon when pulled up in the Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) here latest; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on Hy, GS; ex-Henry de Bromhead, remains lightly raced for his age. Record of 3-3 for Willie Mullins then 2-5 for Henry de Bromhead; drops back in class.

Twinjets is a must for any shortlist as he confirmed the promise of his Fontwell success with an even more impressive Newbury triumph. Expect him to go off in front, but fellow hat-trick seeker Just Over Land will keep him honest and Matata likes to get on with it too. Add to that Glengouly, who made all here in the December Gold Cup, and this could be run to suit a closer, with C&D winner RISKINTHEGROUND put forward as the one to be on.

With further improvement plausible, JUST OVER LAND is interesting despite being out of the weights. Second choice is Il Ridoto.

1	1 (1) (1/3 +33%) Supreme George		0.333333 1/3(+33%)																															(1) Supreme George 1/3, Improved and scored with plenty in hand when winning a handicap by 9 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2m, may stay a bit further, best on a sound surface and could follow up under a penalty. Easy winner here on Sunday and found another weak race in which to carry a penalty.
4	4 (4) (9/2 -13%) Treaty Boy		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Treaty Boy 9/2, Made mistakes and may have found the ground testing when fourth, beaten 25l, in a handicap chase at Hexham last time. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good ground, though has been inconsistent recently. Has a bit to prove after his recent efforts, but he is a dual C&D winner.
5	5 (5) (12/1 0%) Zara's Universe		12 12/1(0%)																															(5) Zara's Universe 12/1, Below form and didn't find much when well beaten in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Effective over 2m and handles soft and good to soft ground, but needs to bounce back. She's due a 2lb drop and 5lb out of the weights, so essentially 7lb wrong.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -125%) Coupdebol		18 18/1(-125%)																															(2) Coupdebol 18/1, Travelled and jumped well to win a handicap by 23l off this mark at Southwell last time. Absent for a very long period and best around 2m4f on a sound surface; has a massive absence to overcome and needs to prove wellbeing. Last seen in June 2023 when doubling his tally over fences in a 2m4f handicap at Southwell.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +39%) Starman		20 20/1(+39%)																															(3) Starman 20/1, Showed little when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective over 2m and handles ground with cut, but form had tailed off in Ireland when last seen. 0-6 over fences; two quiet runs over hurdles since joining current yard.

SUPREME GEORGE has proved a different proposition since undergoing a wind procedure in November and a hat-trick could be on the cards. A 7lb penalty for the six-year-old's latest triumph over C&D is unlikely to prevent another bold bid and he's taken to fend off Treaty Boy. Stuart Coltherd's charge is a dual winner over track and trip and isn't taken lightly reverting to this venue. Zara's Universe is the pick of the remainder.

It's difficult to get away from last Sunday's C&D winner SUPREME GEORGE who faces some unreliable opposition.

7	7 (7) (3/1 +57%) Joe Cotton		3 3/1(+57%)																															(7) Joe Cotton 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Wincanton last time. Effective 2m–2m5f, acts on heavy and good ground, and a consistent performer. Won valuable series final last March and has remained in good form since; respected.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Kalif D'airy		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(6) Kalif D'airy 7/2, Well backed and close to form when fourth beaten 9l off 113 last time. Blinkers on for the first time; effective 2m–2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground, and probably has more to come over fences. Good winner on chase debut; lacked fluency when only fourth last time; remains of interest.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +50%) Yes Day		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(2) Yes Day 9/2, Every chance but below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Off a short break; effective at 3m+, suited by a sound surface, yet to find form this season. Dual winner last March; latest run steadied the ship after three non-completions.
3	3 (3) (6/1 -118%) Mister Cessna		6 6/1(-118%)																															(3) Mister Cessna 6/1, Not knocked about once his chance was gone and below form up in grade, finishing second beaten 9 1/2l off 125 last time. Effective at 2m, acts on any surface, in good form for new yard and on a nice mark. Won over 2m on British chasing debut in October and could have more to offer over 2m4f.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -100%) Toothless		7 7/1(-100%)																															(5) Toothless 7/1, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time. Effective 2m–2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground, needs to prove he retains ability after a layoff. Wide-margin winner in spring 2024; jumping error cooked his goose on last month's return.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -67%) Shantou Lucky		10 10/1(-67%)																															(4) Shantou Lucky 10/1, Back to form down in trip on more testing ground when second beaten a neck off 119 last time. Effective 2m4f–3m1f, acts on any surface, and should be suited by conditions; major player if repeating that effort. Five wins for stable since September; 3lb well in after going close at Fakenham last week.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -13%) Tax For Max		18 18/1(-13%)																															(1) Tax For Max 18/1, Never threatened and was below form back in a handicap, well beaten in a hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective at 2m, acts on a sound surface, and runs for the first time after a wind operation. Not at best over hurdles for new stable this season but drops in grade for chase return.

Toothless disappointed when only fifth at Wincanton after a bad mistake five out, but he is better than that and could be worth another chance. Mister Cessna is a relative youngster at the age of five, and he can go close based on recent evidence, but preference is for SHANTOU LUCKY. Only beaten a neck off 2lb higher at Fakenham in a similar race last month, a repeat of that may be all he needs.

Joe Cotton was about 7l ahead of KALIF D'AIRY when third at Wincanton last month but latter can turn the tables if he jumps better.

Good recent runs here over 3m put him firmly in the mix despite higher mark.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +14%) The Miracle Man		6 6/1(+14%)																															(1) The Miracle Man 6/1, Returned to form when second, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, acts on yielding and good ground; generally consistent. Recent Navan second drops in grade and has to considered a major player.
12	12 (12) (6/1 +33%) Great Bird		6 6/1(+33%)																															(12) Great Bird 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; in good form prior; effective from 2 1/2m to 2 3/4m; progressing since going handicapping. Soft ground may not have suited at Tramore; return to better ground to suit.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +13%) Jukebox Johnny		7 7/1(+13%)																															(2) Jukebox Johnny 7/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; effective between 2m and 2 1/2m, acts with cut; could do better in handicaps. Encouraging Cork handicap debut and could have more to offer now upped further in trip.

Recent third here over 2m4f suggests this longer trip could suit.
9	9 (9) (18/1 -29%) Ballyglass Beauty		18 18/1(-29%)																															(9) Ballyglass Beauty 18/1, Probably booked for midfield when coming down over 3m at Cork last time; suited by 3m and generally consistent; on a reasonable mark. Winless in over two years but down to decent mark and recent form encouraging.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +0%) Matter Of Opinion		18 18/1(+0%)																															(7) Matter Of Opinion 18/1, Ran to form though well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective around 2 1/2m, acts on good ground, unproven with cut; struggling in handicaps. Placed in bumpers but 0-7 hurdling and opening handicap efforts don't inspire confidence.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -82%) Pictures Of Home		20 20/1(-82%)																															(8) Pictures Of Home 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; course winner over just shy of 3m; wears cheekpieces for the first time; off a long absence and has a bit to find. Long absent but booking of Jack Kennedy certainly takes the eye.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +0%) Sights Unseen		25 25/1(+0%)																															(6) Sights Unseen 25/1, May have found the ground too testing when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest; effective around 2 1/2m, acts on yielding and good ground; mark demands more. Heavy ground at Navan didn't suit but return to better ground could see improved showing.
17	17 (17) (28/1 -40%) He Fitz In		28 28/1(-40%)																															(17) He Fitz In 28/1, Made mistakes and did not find much when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; stays 3m well, acts on good but prefers some give; inconsistent recently. Mixing disciplines of late to no great effect; 1lb wrong and opposable.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -106%) Glenmalure Lady		33 33/1(-106%)																															(4) Glenmalure Lady 33/1, Set it up for a useful rival when 17l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective between 2 1/2m and 3m; opening mark looks lenient and should be winning soon. Unexposed on handicap hurdle debut after just three runs, showing promise each time.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -32%) West Is Awake		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) West Is Awake 33/1, Continued out of form when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recently; returning from a long layoff; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m. Out of form this season, hard to fancy despite declining mark.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -21%) Rajsalad		40 40/1(-21%)																															(11) Rajsalad 40/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently; effective up to 3m, acts on soft ground; yet to prove ability remains after a layoff. Hasn't added to his maiden win nearly four years ago; recent 2m4f efforts here poor.
14	14 (14) (40/1 -21%) A Year Older		40 40/1(-21%)																															(14) A Year Older 40/1, Below form when stepped up in trip and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; returning from a long layoff and yet to show anything of note. Now 0-7 hurdling, absent since well held in midfield at Limerick in March; best watched.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -79%) Lord Lariat		50 50/1(-79%)																															(5) Lord Lariat 50/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan most recent; returning from a break; effective beyond 3m; regressive profile. Without a win since landing the 2022 Irish Grand National; probably best watched for now.
18	18 (18) (125/1 -279%) Mustameet Secret		125 125/1(-279%)																															(18) Mustameet Secret 125/1, Pulled up in a conditions race at Castletown-Geoghegan last time; wears blinkers for the first time; off a short break; regressive profile. 9yo maiden pulled up in a point-to-point on October return; impossible to make a case for.

HITTHEHAYSON won a handicap chase at Haydock on his most recent outing off a rating of 100, his fourth win from his last five starts, and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose back over hurdles off a 9lb lower mark. Lough Nigara's second here in November suggests that he could prove to be the main threat, although The Miracle Man and Jukebox Johnny should not be discounted.

Hard to look beyond HITTHEHAYSON who has been in tremendous form since joining Ian Donoghue and still looks well treated over hurdles

4	4 (4) (9/4 +36%) Jet To Vegas		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(4) Jet To Vegas 9/4, Improved from debut when second, beaten 3l, in a beginners chase at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m and acts on soft and good ground. Promising type with more to come over fences judged on Graded hurdle form. Runner-up on both chase starts and latest form at Ascot has been franked by the winner.
3	3 (3) (3/1 +54%) Insurrection		3 3/1(+54%)																															(3) Insurrection 3/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Sandown in April, but had solid form at a good level before that. Suited by 2½m and acts on soft and good to soft ground; returns from a layoff. Inconsistent last term but won easily over C&D in February & has good reappearance record.
2	2 (2) (10/3 -67%) The Kalooki Kid		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(2) The Kalooki Kid 10/3, Won the Scottish Champion Chase by 3l off an 8lb lower mark here in February and produced a solid effort on return. Trainer in form, effective around 2½m and the current mark looks fair. Won two handicaps last winter, including C&D; in good hands to continue to progress.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +32%) Breizh River		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(9) Breizh River 15/2, No match for two unexposed rivals when third, beaten 11l, in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time. Tongue-tie applied for the first time. Effective between 2m and 2½m on decent ground but may benefit from a drop in trip. No match for the first two when third at Newcastle but the form has had a major boost.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +14%) Tommy's Oscar		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Tommy's Oscar 12/1, Below form when tried in cheekpieces and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kelso last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground, but has struggled to find best form this term. 11yo who hasn't threatened this term but he's dropped to a very dangerous mark.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -50%) Inox Allen		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Inox Allen 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time when his jumping went to pieces. Effective at around 2½m and may need some give in the ground. Has a chance if his jumping holds together. Pulled up at Cheltenham last time but won in good style at Perth in April; not written off.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -120%) Rexem		22 22/1(-120%)																															(8) Rexem 22/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6¼l, in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time, looking in need of a stronger pace. Effective around 2½m and acts on soft and good ground; returns from a short break. Well treated on past exploits but all his 2025 form puts him down the pecking order today.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -175%) Malystic		33 33/1(-175%)																															(6) Malystic 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; visor applied for the first time. Best over fences and suited by 2m on good ground but has a bit to prove after two below-par efforts. Showed spark with Kelso win in September but three lesser performances have followed.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -18%) Bleu D'enfer		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) Bleu D'enfer 33/1, Outpaced and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Aintree last time. Effective between 2m and 2½m, acts on soft and good ground but yet to show his form this term. The return to better ground could but others are more compelling in view of recent form.

JET TO VEGAS won a Grade 2 over hurdles and finished fourth in an Aintree Grade 1. He's yet to win over fences but has posted a couple of solid efforts at Perth and Ascot and now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark. Insurrection won well here last season and is very much one to consider, likewise Tommy's Oscar and Rexem.

Musselburgh brought out the very best in INSURRECTION when he was an easy winner over C&D in February and he can make it 2-2 here.

10	10 (10) (5/2 +0%) Bollin Thou		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(10) Bollin Thou 5/2, Returned to form when fourth, beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Should be effective from 2m to 2m4f but needs more to get off the mark. Low-mileage 8yo who won with something to spare at Uttoxeter yesterday; carries penalty.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Shuil Ceoil		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) Shuil Ceoil 8/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when 23l third in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; below par this term. Hard to warm to on latest efforts, but can be in the mix if responding well to the visor..
4	4 (4) (9/1 +0%) Benignitas		9 9/1(+0%)																															(4) Benignitas 9/1, Improved markedly from her debut when 6 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow on her most recent run. Returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, and the longer trip should suit this 3m point winner making her handicap debut. Up in trip off what looks a fair mark for handicaps; interesting if ready after a break..
8	8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Moonlight Artist		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Moonlight Artist 10/1, Well held by exposed rivals when beaten in a handicap chase here on his latest start. May prefer slightly easier ground. Drops back in trip now reverting to hurdles off a fair mark, but he has plenty to prove..
1	1 (1) (10/3 +0%) Our Dylan		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(1) Our Dylan 10/3, Returned to form when dropping in grade, landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; in form and escapes a penalty. Career-high mark to defy, but should be suited by this slightly longer trip; key player..
6	6 (6) (11/2 +0%) Locked Down Lad		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(6) Locked Down Lad 11/2, Outpaced and never threatened when 22l third in a handicap hurdle at Windsor on his latest run. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good ground; had been steadily progressing until that effort. Below best latest, but worth considering on previous efforts since switched to handicaps..
2	2 (2) (15/2 +0%) Hillsin		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(2) Hillsin 15/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark here on his penultimate start but was outpaced and below form when tenth, beaten 24l off 103 last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 2 3/4m on sound ground; generally consistent and likes the track. Disappointing latest, but a course winner in October and may play a role if back on song..
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Weseekherthere		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Weseekherthere 18/1, From a yard that won this race last year. May not have stayed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Blinkers on for the first time. Effective at 2 1/2m; yet to prove her ability remains after a layoff. Bumper/hurdle winner who has been disappointing since joining this stable; blinkers added..
7	7 (7) (18/1 +0%) Blue In The West		18 18/1(+0%)																															(7) Blue In The West 18/1, Travelled well but found little and was disappointing when back up in trip, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at around 3m; inconsistent for new yard and remains a maiden. Mixed form this season, and likely more required anyway despite a 3lb drop in the weights..
9	9 (9) (50/1 +0%) The Longest Day		50 50/1(+0%)																															(9) The Longest Day 50/1, Had no obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton on his most recent start. Effective from 2m2f to 3m but remains inconsistent. Workable mark and won't mind coming back in trip, but comes in on the back of a poor run..
11	11 (11) (80/1 +20%) Poet's Reflection		80 80/1(+20%)																															(11) Poet's Reflection 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective from 2m to 2m2f and acts on soft and good ground but is badly out of form. Failed to complete in last five runs and hard to recommend from 13lb out of the weights..

Locked Down Lad is becoming frustrating to follow after a run of five places in a row and although dropped 1lb for his latest third, he may have to settle for more of the same. Our Dylan won readily enough at Wincanton in November but an added 5lb leaves him needing a career best at the age of 10, and the vote goes to HILLSIN. He does need forgiving a poor run at Hereford but has a good course record and is on a workable mark.

Preference is for SHUIL CEOIL who has edged back down the weights and could get back on track in a first-time visor.

5	5 (5) (11/10 -21%) Three Non Blondes		1.1 11/10(-21%)																															(5) Three Non Blondes 11/10, Knew her job and showed a game attitude when winning by 1/2l in a novice at Chelmsford on debut; stays 6f, trainer in form and likely to progress further. Made a winning start in 7f Chelmsford novice; open to progress and rates a big player.
3	3 (3) (6/4 +67%) Riley Rocks		1.5 6/4(+67%)																															(3) Riley Rocks 6/4, Slowly away and on the back foot throughout before finishing 5 1/4l fourth in a novice at Southwell on debut; from a fast family and open to marked improvement. Encouraging debut fourth at Southwell; can do better, especially now up in trip.

6	6 (6) (11/1 -120%) Evolve		11 11/1(-120%)																															(6) Evolve 11/1, Solid effort on debut when beaten 7l in a maiden here; sprint-bred and trained by a leading course handler; should make normal improvement. Green when a debut seventh over C&D; capable of a fair bit better now so not ruled out.
8	8 (8) (18/1 -125%) Elizabetty		18 18/1(-125%)																															(8) Elizabetty 18/1, Ran poorly first time on soft when well beaten in a novice at Beverley last time; effective at 7f, off a break and should run better back on a sound surface. Beat just one at Beverley in September where she hung badly left; hood back on now.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +20%) Stromness		20 20/1(+20%)																															(4) Stromness 20/1, 50,000gns Zoustar gelding; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo; market should be the best guide to his chance. Zoustar gelding; the market can prove a good guide for this debutant.
7	7 (7) (40/1 0%) Raven's View		40 40/1(0%)																															(7) Raven's View 40/1, Did too much off a slow early pace when well beaten in a novice here last time; bred to get at least a mile but yet to show much ability. Cut little ice in pair of 7f novices here last month; needs to take a major step forward.
1	1 (1) (50/1 -52%) Mr Dreamseller		50 50/1(-52%)																															(1) Mr Dreamseller 50/1, Made plenty of use of and tired late when 9l fourth in a novice at Southwell on debut; off a short break; sprint-bred, sound surfaces should suit and likely improver. Hinted at promise when a debut fourth at Southwell; he can take a step forward here.

THREE NON BLONDES showed a willing attitude to get off the mark at the first attempt at Chelmsford, keeping on well to prevail by half a length. Nominal improvement would make her a big player and she may hold off Riley Rocks at level weights. Dylan Cunha's colt was slowly away at Southwell before finishing fourth, but ought to be a different proposition now. Polka might get the better of Mr Dreamseller for minor honours.

Karl Burke's THREE NON BLONDES looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up her debut Chelmsford victory and defy a penalty.

1	1 (1) (2/1 +0%) Champ Kiely		2 2/1(+0%)																															(1) Champ Kiely 2/1, A dual Grade 1 winner whose yard took this race last year. Slipped up in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown last time. With a top jockey back on, he stays 2-3m, acts on any ground and looks the clear stable first string. Grade 1 novice winner turned out again after clipping heels at Leop'town four days ago.
5	5 (5) (2/1 -14%) Heart Wood		2 2/1(-14%)																															(5) Heart Wood 2/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 32l, in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown. Effective from 2½–3m and generally consistent at Graded level, but likely needs more to land a Grade 1 and may have reached his ceiling. Looks a big player at this level though. Grade 1-placed; a distant fourth in the John Durkan last time; go close if back to best.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +29%) Croke Park		5 5/1(+29%)																															(2) Croke Park 5/1, A two-time Grade 1 winner who had every chance but ran below form when 13l third in the Kildress Plumbing Chase at Down Royal. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and is effective from 2½–3m, though yet to match his novice form. Dual Grade 1 novice winner; not at his best twice this term; needs more; cheekpieces added.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +45%) Ile Atlantique		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(4) Ile Atlantique 11/2, Also from last year's winning yard. Didn't find much after a bad error and needed the run when 17l third in the Barberstown Castle Chase at Naas. Likes to make the running, suited by some give, but jumping remains a concern. Has had jumping issues and has a lot of ground to make up on Champ Kiely from his return.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Classic Getaway		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Classic Getaway 14/1, From last year's winning yard. Made too much use of and needed the run when fourth, beaten 28l, in a Listed Chase at Thurles. Effective around 2½m on soft or good ground but unreliable despite Graded-winning ability. Grade 2 winner but well beaten at Thurles on return so has to get back to his best.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -75%) Gentleman De Mee		14 14/1(-75%)																															(6) Gentleman De Mee 14/1, A dual Grade 1 winner from last year's winning stable. Fourth, beaten 42l, in the Clonmel Oil Chase last time after a short break. Effective over 2–2½m and prefers decent ground; should improve but often struggles on winter going. Dual Grade 1 winner won the Topham at Aintree last term; poor at Clonmel but can do better.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +0%) Perceval Legallois		20 20/1(+0%)																															(8) Perceval Legallois 20/1, Pulled up in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Stays 3m and prefers decent ground. Was progressive over fences before his Grand National run but remains prone to jumping errors. Was pulled up in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury on return; has questions to answer now.

HEART WOOD was no match for the subsequent King George third Gaelic Warrior when fourth in the Grade 1 John Durkan at Punchestown in November, but he won a similar race to this at the same track in October and ought to go well now his sights are lowered. Champ Kiely slipped up after clipping heels in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown four days ago and would have a chance if none the worse for that mishap. Keep Croke Park in mind too for the in-form Gordon Elliott yard.

CHAMP KIELY can land this. His return at Naas over an inadequate 2m was a superb effort and Leopardstown four days ago was a non-event

10	10 (10) (7/2 +13%) Coul Angel		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(10) Coul Angel 7/2, Scored by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton two runs ago and ran to form last time with his best work late. From a top course trainer; suited by 6f and acts on all-weather. In good form though a revised mark demands more. Came from poor position to take 2nd at Kempton latest; up 3lb but improving all the while.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +27%) Ten Pounds		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Ten Pounds 4/1, Improved when winning a conditions race at Kempton by a length last time. Off a short break, suited by 6/7f and prefers a sound surface. On a competitive mark for his debut with a new yard. 3-3 on AW; not fully exposed; sold for 320,000gns since latest run; fascinating contender.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +55%) Lakers		5 5/1(+55%)																															(9) Lakers 5/1, Ran to form and scored with a bit in hand when winning a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Wide draw and off a short break; effective at 6/7f on this surface and capable of better as a sprinter. Impressed on AW debut here nine weeks ago; up 7lb and drawn wide but unexposed at 6f.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -100%) We Never Stop		12 12/1(-100%)																															(8) We Never Stop 12/1, Took a step back in the right direction when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 6f and much better on all-weather. Still looks on a competitive mark. Conditions to suit and he is handicapped to run well; high on the shortlist.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -60%) Caburn		16 16/1(-60%)																															(5) Caburn 16/1, Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time. Returning from a break; wide draw; effective at 6f on this surface and respected off his new mark. Easy win at Yarmouth in September but he beat a motley crew & this is much tougher up 6lb.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -433%) So Darn Hot		16 16/1(-433%)																															(4) So Darn Hot 16/1, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Wide draw; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather. Progressive type who can go well again. Progressive last year; two solid runs for new yard after a break; each-way claims.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -230%) Wiltshire		33 33/1(-230%)																															(2) Wiltshire 33/1, Slowly away and probably needed the race when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 6/7f on all-weather and may need this run. Smart sprint form (including AW) in 2024; absent since modest C&D run last April.
12	12 (12) (33/1 -230%) Eminency		33 33/1(-230%)																															(12) Eminency 33/1, Improved to land a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 6/7f and handles all-weather. Drop in trip is fine though his new mark asks more. Comes here in top form and still on fair mark; can't afford to fluff the start back at 6f.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -122%) Purest Time		40 40/1(-122%)																															(11) Purest Time 40/1, Too keen and below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Kempton last time. In good form prior and suited by 6f on this surface. Respected off a reduced mark. Not at best on last two starts but well handicapped on last year's best; lively outsider.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -178%) Fivethousandtoone		50 50/1(-178%)																															(6) Fivethousandtoone 50/1, Below form from a poor draw when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Ayr last time. Usually held up and returning from a break. Wide draw again; effective at 6f and better on all-weather, though the mark reflects that. Needs to bounce back. Better horse on AW now; a repeat of either of his last two AW runs would see him involved.
3	3 (3) (66/1 -164%) Willem Twee		66 66/1(-164%)																															(3) Willem Twee 66/1, Outpaced and below form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. Trainer in form; effective at 6f on this surface. Handicapper has eased him and he may just need this. Down in the weights and capable of smart AW form in his pomp; absent five months.
13	13 (13) (100/1 -150%) Rochelle		100 100/1(-150%)																															(13) Rochelle 100/1, Beaten 4l in a conditions race at Chantilly last time after a lengthy absence.

Coul Angel found only one too good when attempting to complete a Kempton hat-trick, a day before Eminency broke his all-weather duck at Chelmsford. Ten Pounds and Lakers have been given a bit of time to freshen up since victories at Kempton and here respectively, as has Yarmouth scorer Caburn, who tries the all-weather for the first time. So Darn Hot and We Never Stop will have supporters and so will POCKLINGTON, who is becoming expensive to follow but through no fault of his own, and can show his appreciation for the return to 6f.

A New Year's Day treat for sprint handicap fans. POCKLINGTON (nap) may reverse last June's Newcastle placings with Fivethousandtoone

Effective from 2m4f to 3m but needs to find more at this level. Grade 2 winner over fences last term; possibly needed his reappearance run.
2	2 (2) (11/2 -22%) Lucky Place		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(2) Lucky Place 11/2, Won this last year; ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Newbury latest; effective 2m4f on S, G; back hurdling after failing to improve for switch to fences. Successful in this contest 12 months ago; major contender returned to hurdles.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +14%) The Real Whacker		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) The Real Whacker 12/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of, lit up by first time blinkers when comfortably held in bet365 Charlie Hall Chase (Grade 2) at Wetherby last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; suited by 3m on G; up against it at this trip back hurdling. Hurdles form remains inferior to his best achievements over fences.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -180%) Gowel Road		28 28/1(-180%)																															(1) Gowel Road 28/1, Keen, mistakes, disappointing chase return when well beaten in Turners Handicap Chase here latest; effective 3m, acts on S, G; runner-up 12 months ago. Largely sound record over hurdles at Cheltenham; second in this race last year.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +0%) Kamsinas		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Kamsinas 33/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in a beginners' chase at Southwell last time. Effective from 2m to 3m; not fully exposed as a stayer and current mark looks about right. Has the worst chance at the weights on this return to hurdles.

It hasn't worked out for Lucky Place over fences but he's more than capable of bouncing back now switching to timber, as he beat Gowel Road in this 12 months ago and was sent off 11/2 for the Stayers' Hurdle at the Festival. Stable companion Jingko Blue isn't without a squeak, but it was hard not to be super impressed with the way KABRAL DU MATHAN won at Haydock on his first start for Dan Skelton and he could take some stopping with further improvement to come.

Very promising KABRAL DU MATHAN can follow up his impressive reappearance win and enhance his Stayers' Hurdle claims.

Trained by a top course trainer; effective from 2m to 3m on soft or good ground; consistent performer here though others may stay better. Goes well here in both codes; only weakened out of it late on over C&D 16 days ago.
12	12 (12) (4/1 +27%) Zeezee		4 4/1(+27%)																															(12) Zeezee 4/1, Unsuited by testing ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f to 3m on good ground; had been in good form until latest run. Two seconds on good ground before an excusable defeat on heavy a month ago.

5	5 (5) (11/2 +45%) Knightsbridge		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(5) Knightsbridge 11/2, Ran below form when well beaten in a Taunton handicap hurdle last time, having been in good form beforehand. Effective up to 3m1f on good ground; needs to bounce back. Modest last run but had previously been placed in 3m1f/2m3f handicaps at Hereford.
10	10 (10) (15/2 -25%) East Eagle		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(10) East Eagle 15/2, Made late gains when fourth, beaten 7l, in a Market Rasen handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 3m on good to soft or good ground and could bounce back. 3m winner off 3lb lower; respectable efforts the last twice and has each-way claims.
11	11 (11) (10/1 +17%) Matoury		10 10/1(+17%)																															(11) Matoury 10/1, Never travelled when well beaten in a Market Rasen handicap hurdle last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m but inconsistent overall. Seems very hit and miss and has yet to convince over this sort of trip.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -17%) The Wise Traveller		14 14/1(-17%)																															(2) The Wise Traveller 14/1, Below best when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time.

4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Coral Blue		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Coral Blue 16/1, May not have stayed when fourth, beaten 11l, in a Musselburgh handicap hurdle last time. Effective over 2m4f on a sound surface but unreliable and on a long losing run. Beaten 11l on soft last time over 3m; could last longer under these conditions.

13	13 (13) (28/1 -12%) West Lawn		28 28/1(-12%)																															(13) West Lawn 28/1, Poor hurdles return when comfortably held in a Hexham handicap hurdle last time. Usually held up; effective at 3m; looks regressive. Both wins under rules were in 2022 and very opposable on this season's form.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -136%) Lathan		33 33/1(-136%)																															(3) Lathan 33/1, Raced too keenly and below best when comfortably held on chase debut in a Sedgefield handicap chase last time. Effective at around 2m4f on good ground but an inconsistent hurdler. Winning hurdler; quiet stable debut on ground that was perhaps too soft on chase debut.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -60%) King Casey		40 40/1(-60%)																															(9) King Casey 40/1, Below form when well beaten in a Newcastle handicap hurdle last time.

Having enjoyed two winners and a close-up second at the last meeting here, Jonjo & A J O'Neill runners merit plenty of respect and it could be worth chancing KNIGHTSBRIDGE. Although the six-year-old could only muster an eighth-placed finish at Taunton three weeks ago, his previous form gives him strong claims. Bollin Neil only gave way in the closing stages when recently finishing fifth over C&D and is feared most, ahead of Rebel Intentions.

The mare ZEEZEE ran well to be placed in two good-ground handicaps before getting stuck in the mud last time.

2	2 (2) (1/4 +44%) Dinoblue		0.25 1/4(+44%)																															(2) Dinoblue 1/4, Yard won this race last year; made mistakes but travelled well and flattened out up the hill after a break when second, beaten 5l, in the Fortria Chase (Grade 2) at Navan last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; generally consistent and sets the form standard as a Grade 1 winner. Fortria second a bit below best but remains the standout of this quartet.

Almost certainly has more to offer this season but this looks a stiff ask on return.
3	3 (3) (13/2 +7%) Shecouldbeanything		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(3) Shecouldbeanything 13/2, Yard has won two of the last five renewals; pulled up in the Kerry National (Grade 3) at Listowel last time; top jockey back on board; effective around 2 1/2m and prefers decent ground; generally consistent but can race lazily. Amiss at Listowel; back from a break with questions to answer.

It is hard to oppose DINOBLUE, who has a good record when against her own sex over fences. The winner of the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last March, the nine-year-old should only improve for her seasonal return in the Fortria. Look To The West is a lightly-raced eight-year-old and she has to be respected on her return, having won well at Kilbeggan when last seen in April. Bioluminescence has some questions to answer right now but edges out Shecouldbeanything to be best of the rest.

This looks a nice step on road to defending her crown at Cheltenham for DINOBLUE, the only slight concern being the trip

5	5 (5) (7/2 +75%) Wellington Arch		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(5) Wellington Arch 7/2, Ran to form off a revised mark when 5l third in the Lawlor's Of Naas Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown on his latest start. Enjoys making the running; effective over 2 1/2m and on good to soft ground; progressive and form franked, a threat if fit. Won at Aintree festival in April and placed at Punchestown in May; back from a break today.
9	9 (9) (4/1 -14%) Hartington		4 4/1(-14%)																															(9) Hartington 4/1, Improved again when stepped up in trip, finishing second beaten a neck off 122 last time.

Usually held up and effective over 2 1/2m on soft or good ground; generally progressive and may be worth another try at 3m. Ran big race when second on seasonal debut and is not yet filly exposed; respected.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +57%) Listentoyourheart		6 6/1(+57%)																															(11) Listentoyourheart 6/1, Produced a better effort second run after a break when 8 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2m but unproven over 2 1/2m; acts on good to soft and good ground and may strip fitter again. Gave good account when placed at Plumpton in November but others look more progressive.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -10%) Act Of Authority		11 11/1(-10%)																															(3) Act Of Authority 11/1, Lacked the pace of the front pair when dropped in trip but ran to form when 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3m; consistent performer. Began season with two good efforts but needs to find something extra here.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +39%) Minella Missile		11 11/1(+39%)																															(12) Minella Missile 11/1, Made mistakes and looked in need of further when fourth, beaten 25l, in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; usually held up; effective around 2 1/2m but not in the same form since a layoff and may need further. Lightly raced and disappointing since Grade 2 novice win in 2023; cheekpieces added here.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +0%) East India Express		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) East India Express 12/1, All but fell late, stopped quickly after, made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newbury most recent; effective 2 1/2m on decent ground; spring form strong, jumping issues this term. Made good progress last season but not much has gone to plan this term.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -33%) Castle Carrock		12 12/1(-33%)																															(7) Castle Carrock 12/1, Fell late when looking booked for second in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and on soft or good ground; remains on a workable mark. Set to be placed at least before last-flight fall last month; remains very lightly raced.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -56%) Idy Wood		14 14/1(-56%)																															(6) Idy Wood 14/1, Improved when stepped up in trip, landing a handicap hurdle by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Off a short break; best at around 2 1/2m; consistent but his mark now demands more. 2-3 since reverting to hurdles this season and good 7lb claimer Isabelle Ryder booked here.
8	8 (8) (18/1 -64%) Stream Of Stars		18 18/1(-64%)																															(8) Stream Of Stars 18/1, Travelled well and ran to form when beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Aintree last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and on soft or good ground; consistent type. Quite lightly raced for his age and last month's clear Aintree second was career-best form.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -264%) Rambo T		40 40/1(-264%)																															(1) Rambo T 40/1, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow on his penultimate start but found little and ran below form on softer ground last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and on soft or good ground; progressive until latest, though his mark now looks stiff. Disappointed last time but posted career-best form when bagging good prize in October.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -150%) Thanksforthehelp		40 40/1(-150%)																															(10) Thanksforthehelp 40/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Off a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m but his current mark looks on the high side. Won 25-runner handicap at Punchestown last April but too inconsisent to rely upon.

HARTINGTON just edges it on the basis that it was a really competitive handicap hurdle he finished a neck second in at Haydock in November. He's been given time to get over those exertions and makes slightly more appeal than Wellington Arch, who sparkled at Aintree last season before running a mighty race in defeat at the Punchestown Festival. Guard Duty is noted too.

The pick is GUARD DUTY (nap), who made up considerable ground in the home straight to finish second in a good Newbury race in November.

Yet to pose a serious threat in a handicap but unexposed at this sort of trip.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -38%) Kool Raoul		9 9/1(-38%)																															(1) Kool Raoul 9/1, Ran a bit below form when made plenty of use of on heavy ground, finishing 9l third in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; generally progressive. Possible improver now up in trip; one of two handicap newcomers for yard.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -33%) Artic Mann		10 10/1(-33%)																															(7) Artic Mann 10/1, Ran to form when back up in trip, finishing 4l third in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; reliable staying type. Consistent veteran; place possibilities but he's won only one of his last 22 starts.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Wearelongterm		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Wearelongterm 14/1, Never competitive after a series of errors in a handicap chase here last time and fell on latest start over hurdles; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on soft and good ground; hurdle mark looks fair. Some good form over fences in the autumn; now 0-19 under rules but not ruled out each-way.

Promising third on stable debut at Kelso in November but a lesser run followed at Haydock.

SNOWROCCO won well over this sort of trip at Newcastle latest and connections appear to have found their mare another good opening. In a race lacking proven form over 3m, she is difficult to oppose. Kool Raoul goes handicapping for the first time and is interesting, while it would be surprising if Paul Nicholls couldn't get Jena D'oudairies to win a race off 108.

The mare SNOWROCCO bolted up at Newcastle three weeks ago and can make light of an 11lb rise.

5	5 (5) (9/2 +0%) Dish Of The Day		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Dish Of The Day 9/2, Well backed and benefited from first-time cheekpieces when back to form down in trip, beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Stratford last time; returning from a long layoff. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft ground; inconsistent and needs a bit more back from the break. Well backed to finish third in March; unexposed but needs to back it up after a break..

Effective at about 2 1/2m and suited by good ground; fair mark on best course form but may need this run. Has a bit to prove after a break, but was well backed when winning this race last year..
7	7 (7) (11/2 +0%) Man Oh Man		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(7) Man Oh Man 11/2, Returned to form when third, beaten 5l, in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on any ground; unexposed for this yard but needs to build on recent revival. Improved for this stable since returning from a long absence; looks capable of better yet..
6	6 (6) (16/1 +0%) Vengeance		16 16/1(+0%)																															(6) Vengeance 16/1, Outpaced and never threatened when fourth, beaten 12l, in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on good ground; inconsistent and needs to prove ability remains after a layoff. May figure having shaped with promise latest and having dropped plenty in the weights..
10	10 (10) (25/1 +0%) Freddie Fleetfoot		25 25/1(+0%)																															(10) Freddie Fleetfoot 25/1, Went clear and made too much use of the pace before finishing well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good ground; still a maiden but had been in form until last run. Has offered more this season and has the ability to figure if staying this longer trip..
9	9 (9) (28/1 +0%) William Philo		28 28/1(+0%)																															(9) William Philo 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; returning from a long layoff. Well treated on old form over hurdles and fences. Acts on soft and good ground; boasts some good course form. Finished second in this race last year but hard to recommend on subsequent efforts..

Looking For Larry won this race last year off a mark of 99, but he has 5lb more now and was a well-beaten seventh at Taunton when last seen in February. This looks a tough ask on his return and giving 26lb to the race-fit WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE, who only went under by half-a-length at Wincanton in November. A repeat of that could see him win for the third time, with the first-time blinkered Iris Des Issards an interesting alternative.

Despite risks, PACHACUTI appeals most off a career-low mark dropped into a Class 5. Storming Nelson is feared most.

Effective at 10f, goes well from the front; just pushed out last time but faces a much stiffer task now. 2-2 over C&D; may not get his own way this time, but he remains unexposed.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +25%) Machete		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(3) Machete 9/4, Produced a game effort at a somewhat inadequate trip when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 10-13f and arguably better beyond 10f; acts on all-weather. In good form and borderline Group-class in France in 2023. 2lb higher than when winning over C&D 13 days ago; a contested lead would aid his cause.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +13%) Without Compromise		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Without Compromise 7/2, Ridden out for a wide-margin win when landing a handicap by 6l off a 10lb lower mark here last time. Best at 10f and acts well on all-weather; looks well treated on that run, though it was a big outlier. Record over C&D reads 412131; 10lb higher but can never be ignored under these conditions.
2	2 (2) (7/1 -133%) Midnight Lion		7 7/1(-133%)																															(2) Midnight Lion 7/1, Ran to best when stepped up slightly in trip, landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making the running; effective from 7-10f, acts on soft and all-weather, though quite a stiff mark now. Front-runner who has won eight times here, the latest 12 days ago; can't be ruled out.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -43%) Inappropriate		20 20/1(-43%)																															(6) Inappropriate 20/1, Had a very bad trip and may have finished a couple of lengths closer with a clear run when second, beaten 6l in a handicap here latest. Suited by 10f and acts on any surface; unlucky latest and has an obvious chance despite not the most generous mark. Would have finished closer to Without Compromise over C&D last time with a clearer run.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -106%) Urban Road		33 33/1(-106%)																															(5) Urban Road 33/1, Ran to best when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Suited by 8-10f with all recent form on all-weather; chance if repeating that effort up a couple of furlongs. Five wins here and running well lately, but still 6lb above his last winning mark.

ANTRIM has come on in leaps and bounds since being gelded, winning by five lengths in October for the Gosdens and then by a length and a half on his first start for Karl Burke, with both efforts coming over C&D. He needs to improve again off 6lb higher, but had plenty left in the locker and may well defy his new rating. Machete and Without Compromise both arrive in great form and may give him the most to do.

If there is a contested lead, which seems possible, then MACHETE may be the one to benefit having just got up to win here 13 days ago.

1	1 (1) (2/1 +27%) Blue Hop		2 2/1(+27%)																															(1) Blue Hop 2/1, Below form when making mistakes and finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; had been in good form prior and looks the pick on race times but is yet to convince in this sphere. Rated 120 over hurdles but poor in two British h'cap chases; can do better for this yard.
3	3 (3) (5/2 -33%) Cowper Hall		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(3) Cowper Hall 5/2, Went clear with ease and improved up in trip when winning a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse by 13l last time; a potential threat with promise of more to come now starting out over fences. Rated 109 over hurdles after easy win last time; a shout if jumping soundly on chasing bow.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +46%) Cappucino		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(2) Cappucino 7/2, Hampered and departed early; effective over 2m and acts on any ground; useful hurdler can do better over fences when ridden more positively. Brought down early last time but was a close fifth at Punchestown before that; a player.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -7%) Femme Magnifique		8 8/1(-7%)																															(5) Femme Magnifique 8/1, Travelled well, forced to switch and ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Clonmel last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on good ground and looks fairly treated if building on her recent revival. Third in a Clonmel novice handicap last time; one to consider for a local yard.
8	8 (8) (17/2 -113%) Rockbrook		8.5 17/2(-113%)																															(8) Rockbrook 17/2, Improved down in trip on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces when 11l third in a handicap chase at Navan last time; effective over 2m and acts with cut; progressive over hurdles and fences. Third in a Navan handicap last time over this trip; the cheekpieces are retained; a squeak.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +0%) Butter Fingers		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Butter Fingers 14/1, Outclassed and never in the race when down the field in a beginners chase at Navan last time; effective over 2m and suited by plenty of cut; likely to need more time over fences. Well beaten on his two completed chase starts lately; others have better credentials today.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -80%) Eye Of A Tiger		18 18/1(-80%)																															(4) Eye Of A Tiger 18/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early when comfortably held in the Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Thurles last time; has a bit to find starting out over fences. Has run well over hurdles at this track so a shout if her jumping holds up on chasing bow.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) Little Mixup		66 66/1(-32%)																															(6) Little Mixup 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; effective over 2m and suited by cut, but has been out of form over hurdles and fences for some time. Not a lot of encouragement in six chase starts so others are preferred.
7	7 (7) (100/1 -400%) Ossifer Hops		100 100/1(-400%)																															(7) Ossifer Hops 100/1, Made mistakes, found the ground too testing and did too much too soon when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse last time; returns from a short break, effective up to 3m but unreliable. Below form last two starts for Gordon Elliott; others preferred on debut for a local yard.

BLUE HOP won over hurdles for Ben Brookhouse but the nine-year-old has moved to Henry De Bromhead and returns to fences despite failing to get to grips with them so far. If he takes to them now, there may be improvement to come after only 13 career starts. Femme Magnifique was a good third at Clonmel last month and a repeat of that would see her challenge, although Cowper Hall impressed over further at Fairyhouse in December and may be the bigger danger.

Brought down early at Clonmel last time, CAPPUCINO ran a fine race at Punchestown prior to that and can take this

Poor form in his three starts but bred to do much better and he's been gelded since latest.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +0%) Rogue Rebellion		5 5/1(+0%)																															(9) Rogue Rebellion 5/1, Below form when not staying and finishing down the field in a novice at Pontefract last time.

1	1 (1) (10/1 -11%) Tafah		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Tafah 10/1, Made late gains after racing wide when beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Usually held up and returning from a break. Effective at 5f, may get 6f, acts on fast ground, but more needed. Sold for 2,000gns since last seen; promising debut; betting to guide on stable/h'cap debut.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -50%) Mereside Princess		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Mereside Princess 12/1, Ran a bit below form when perhaps made too much use of up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 5l in a nursery here last time. Cheekpieces for the first time; effective at 6f/7f, acts on the all-weather and is consistent if getting the right fractions. Has run respectably in three nurseries but the change of headgear needs to spark extra.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -133%) Maynora		14 14/1(-133%)																															(5) Maynora 14/1, Didn't get home when beaten 4 1/4l in a nursery at Kempton last time. Blinkers on for the first time and returning from a break; plenty to prove. Drops in trip and tried in headgear on his return from 134 days off; not discounted.
3	3 (3) (28/1 -12%) Tickettothestars		28 28/1(-12%)																															(3) Tickettothestars 28/1, Never competitive when beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Wolverhampton on her all-weather debut last time. Returning from a break; effective at 5f or 6f on a sound surface but struggling in handicaps. Low-level form since handicapping; return to 6f can help but others look safer.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -32%) Mademoiselle Belle		33 33/1(-32%)																															(7) Mademoiselle Belle 33/1, Produced another poor effort over this trip, seeming not to stay when fourth beaten 8l in a nursery at Newcastle. Suited by 5f, may not get a truly run 6f, acts on the all-weather; drop back in trip could help. 3rd on three occasions but seemingly exposed and needs to find improvement from somewhere.

THE TUNGUSKA EVENT won on his handicap bow at Newcastle over this trip and connections have found him a good opening to bounce back from a disappointing showing there last time. Mereside Princess could take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces and is one to consider closely, while similar sentiments apply to Maynora now his connections reach for the blinkers.

This looks ripe for an improver to step forward. AL NAJASHI is marginally preferred to Dartrey and Rogue Rebellion.

Ma Shantou didn't show at Haydock last time, but would have every chance on the evidence of his previous course success. Ace Of Spades finished a solid fourth in the aforementioned Haydock handicap and commands respect, but DOUBLE POWERFUL has been given time to get over his Ludlow fall in a beginners chase and is really interesting back over timber at a track where he's enjoyed success in the past.

There is interest from top to bottom in this field but ACE OF SPADES (nap) is tipped ahead of Spike Jones.

6	6 (6) (4/6 -18%) Kaid D'authie		0.666667 4/6(-18%)																															(6) Kaid D'authie 4/6, Ran to form on his chase debut when second, beaten 1¼l, by a stablemate in a beginners' chase at Punchestown. Effective around 2½m and handles softer ground; has more to come over fences and debut form has been franked at the top level; tough to beat. Fine start to his chasing career at Punchestown, form franked by the winner at Kempton.

Enjoys forcing the pace; effective around 2½m and acts on any ground, though not the most straightforward. No match for the smart Final Demand at Navan, a shade disappointing at same venue since.

3	3 (3) (20/1 -25%) Dr Eggman		20 20/1(-25%)																															(3) Dr Eggman 20/1, Keen and made mistakes when needing the run on his chase debut, well beaten in a beginners' chase here. Effective around 2½m and acts on any ground; capable of better than that initial effort. 133-rated hurdler, in rear at this venue on chasing debut, stable has stronger candidates.
4	4 (4) (33/1 +18%) Fishery Lane		33 33/1(+18%)																															(4) Fishery Lane 33/1, Fell before race developed in a beginners' chase at Punchestown last time.

7	7 (7) (33/1 +18%) Lucky Lyreen		33 33/1(+18%)																															(7) Lucky Lyreen 33/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field in a beginners' chase here most recently. Effective from 2½m to 3m; may need more time and further to progress over fences. Useful hurdler, nothing of note over fences yet, not in the same league as yard's Wingmen.
8	8 (8) (100/1 +0%) So They Tell Me		100 100/1(+0%)																															(8) So They Tell Me 100/1, Outpaced and not knocked about when unsuited by a drop in trip, finishing well beaten in a beginners' chase at Clonmel last time. Effective around 3m; may do better in handicaps with more experience. Hurdles winner at a modest level, could make a handicap candidate with more experience.

KAID D'AUTHIE left a good impression when finishing the close second at Punchestown on his chasing bow. The six-year-old can be marked up for that effort, given he found only his stablemate and subsequent Kauto Star winner Kitzbuhel too good, and he looks another smart prospect for Willie Mullins. Useful over timber, Wingmen has placed at Navan on both starts over fences. He could prove the main danger to the selection, ahead of Joystick.

Willie Mullins has won this with an odds-on shot in four consecutive years. He seems to have the solution again with KAID D'AUTHIE

Went up 8lb for winning at Sedgefield but still ran well in defeat at Musselburgh.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +69%) Lahire		5 5/1(+69%)																															(9) Lahire 5/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Southwell last time.

8	8 (8) (11/2 -38%) Cawthorne Banker		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(8) Cawthorne Banker 11/2, Won by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start.

Latest below-par run was only a day after winning at Uttoxeter; still on a good mark.

1	1 (1) (15/2 +53%) Byron Hill		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(1) Byron Hill 15/2, Again below his best back hurdling when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time. The trainer is in form; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface but still has a bit to prove. This is easier than last time and he's on a good mark if able to recapture some form.

3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Killycarn		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) Killycarn 8/1, Below form when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2m1f, acts on soft ground, and may do better now entering handicaps. Form lacks substance but could still be interesting for respected yard now handicapping.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -500%) Gozo		20 20/1(-500%)																															(6) Gozo 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 23lb lower mark at Newbury last time.

Usually held up; a 10f flat winner but yet to build on her hurdling debut. Dual Flat winner but has an unconvincing record over hurdles (0-6) and others preferred.

Although thwarted in his bid to complete a double, John Betjeman was far from disgraced when hitting the frame at Musselburgh 10 days ago. Donald McCain's charge is likely to be involved with a similar performance, but CAWTHORNE BANKER is slightly more appealing. The eight-year-old can be forgiven his latest defeat at Stratford after being turned out just one day after scoring at Uttoxeter, with a 75-day break likely to have freshened him up. Useful Flat performer Gozo is also worth a second look.

Preference is for CAWTHORNE BANKER (nap) whose last run is readily forgiven and he was in really good form prior to that.

Well handicapped on hurdle form but has shaky record over fences; new headgear tried.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +7%) Limetree Boy		7 7/1(+7%)																															(4) Limetree Boy 7/1, Well backed but failed to stay when 12l third in a handicap chase at Carlisle on his most recent run.

FORTUNE DANCER might be all the rage in the finale and punters will be hoping she arrives in the same form as when bolting up at Uttoxeter in November. 2-2 over fences and with the yard in such good nick, it's really difficult to get away from the Soldier Of Fortune mare. The dangers are Bridget Mary and All Authorized.

Chris Gordon's FORTUNE DANCER has shown huge improvement over fences this season and is selected to compete a hat-trick.

2	2 (2) (7/4 +47%) Afadil		1.75 7/4(+47%)																															(2) Afadil 7/4, Flattened out after a late error when 8l third in a handicap hurdle at Sandown on latest start. Effective at 2m and suited by good to soft. The handicapper has eased his mark and he could be running back into form. His losing run continues but he's on a reduced mark and has an appealing record here.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +22%) City Of Diamonds		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(3) City Of Diamonds 7/2, The yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race. Progressive and improved again when landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good to firm, and still improving. Won by nearly 5l on handicap debut over C&D and a 7lb rise may not stop him today.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +23%) Mr Mcloughlan		5 5/1(+23%)																															(1) Mr Mcloughlan 5/1, Backed up a solid effort in Grade 2 company previously when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground. Quirky but talented and progressing. Won on handicap debut at Huntingdon and this unexposed 6yo is open to further improvement.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +6%) Star Of Guiting		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(9) Star Of Guiting 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Consistent and fairly treated. Runner-up over C&D on second stable start and could improve for that outing.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -200%) Cueros		10 10/1(-200%)																															(6) Cueros 10/1, The yard won this race last year. Probably ran to form when second in a novice hurdle at Plumpton last time. Effective around 2m and acts on good and soft ground, though difficult to assess with confidence. Encouraging start to hurdling career; improvement needed on h'cap debut but it's possible.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -115%) Chase A Fortune		14 14/1(-115%)																															(7) Chase A Fortune 14/1, Ran to best when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. The trainer is in form and he enjoys making the running. Effective up to 2m1f, acts on any ground, and goes up another 5lb. Won in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and the runner-up has franked the form.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +36%) Admiralty House		14 14/1(+36%)																															(8) Admiralty House 14/1, A bit below form when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground. Form has been inconsistent. Well handicapped on last season's form but not at the top of his game this term.
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Bashful		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Bashful 18/1, Failed to find much when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Best around 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Returns from a break. Three-time C&D winner who returns from a break on a competitive mark on stable debut.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +0%) Ravenscraig Castle		22 22/1(+0%)																															(10) Ravenscraig Castle 22/1, Ran about to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. A consistent performer. May have needed his latest outing and he was runner-up in this race 12 months ago.

Cueros boasts an attractive, unexposed profile and will likely have his supporters in the finale, while Afadil is a C&D winner and Mr Mcloughlan has won three of his last four starts. CITY OF DIAMONDS gets the nod, but is only a lukewarm selection. He's another unexposed quantity and his handicap debut success over track and trip was quite taking.

The novice MR MCLOUGHLAN travelled well to win at Huntingdon last time and can defy a 5lb rise to make it 2-2 in handicaps.

2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Hors Jeu		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Hors Jeu 5/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time when looked a huge threat; trainer in form; effective over 2m and fairly treated on French form, with scope to build on latest effort. Yet to make serious impact in Britain (four hurdle races and two chases); unseated latest.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +0%) Carrigmoorna Rowan		6 6/1(+0%)																															(3) Carrigmoorna Rowan 6/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when below form, finishing fourth beaten 14l in a Haydock handicap chase last time; effective over 2 1/2m on good to soft; unreliable type. Second at Huntingdon on debut for new yard but he was not so good at Haydock 11 days later.
8	8 (8) (9/1 +0%) Daring Plan		9 9/1(+0%)																															(8) Daring Plan 9/1, Stable has won two of the last five renewals of this race; ran to current form when 18l third in a Fontwell handicap chase last time; effective over 2 1/2m but only in moderate form. Maiden; latest run was a step back in the right direction and he's way below his peak mark.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +0%) Owl Of Athens		11 11/1(+0%)																															(7) Owl Of Athens 11/1, All but refused and was never competitive after several errors when well beaten in a Taunton handicap chase last time; effective at 2 1/2m on good to soft; open to further improvement now upped in trip. Sticky jumping soon had him on the back foot in this season's two runs over fences.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +0%) Bonza Boy		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(1) Bonza Boy 11/2, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time; effective at 2 1/2m and handles ground with cut; likely to appreciate a drop back in grade. His reduced mark and C&D record (a win and two seconds) are the major positives; shortlist.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +0%) Kingcormac		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(5) Kingcormac 11/4, Returned to form after a break, benefiting from a patient ride off a strong pace when landing a Hereford handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark last time; usually held up; effective at 2 1/2m on ground with cut but inconsistent. Second in this race in 2023; 6l winner at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +0%) Lough Owel		16 16/1(+0%)																															(6) Lough Owel 16/1, Pulled up in a Fontwell handicap chase last time; effective around 3m on good ground; generally consistent since going chasing but remains a frustrating maiden. Poor shows on last two starts; has a career-low mark and takes a further drop back in trip.
12	12 (12) (22/1 +0%) Firefly Lane		22 22/1(+0%)																															(12) Firefly Lane 22/1, Pulled up in a Newton Abbot handicap chase last time after a break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by ground with cut; out of form at present. Failed to complete in her three starts this season; hard to fancy 9lb out of the handicap.
10	10 (10) (50/1 +0%) Senor Diaz		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Senor Diaz 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 2 1/2m but currently out of form. Some minor honours in first campaign (2023-24) but he's lost his form; chase debut latest.
11	11 (11) (66/1 +0%) Break Heart Hill		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) Break Heart Hill 66/1, Made mistakes and ran poorly again when well beaten in a Fontwell handicap hurdle last time; wears cheekpieces for the first time; has plenty to find. Chase debut and first cheekpieces need to make a big difference; 7lb out of the handicap.
13	13 (13) (66/1 +0%) Alderley Charlie		66 66/1(+0%)																															(13) Alderley Charlie 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; looks limited on current evidence. It's a bit bold to say he has any worthwhile form; 10lb out of the handicap.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +53%) Ker D'oudairies		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(9) Ker D'oudairies 15/2, Outpaced but improved up in trip when comfortably held in a Ffos Las handicap hurdle last time; returns from a short break and looks open to marked improvement now chasing like most from this yard. Chase debutant, probably capable of better; note market strength with his in-form yard.

Kingcormac enjoyed a return to Hereford when landing the spoils there last month and cannot be dismissed in his current vein of form. However, the veteran is effectively 9lb higher without Callum Pritchard's 3lb claim and he may be worth taking on with BONZA BOY. Jeremy Scott's string have been improving for their reappearances and his representative could leave a sixth-placed defeat at Chepstow far behind. Chase-debutant Ker D'oudairies is also of interest.

The best options may be BONZA BOY and Ker d'Oudairies, with very different profiles but both from yards that are among the winners.

1	1 (1) (85/40 +39%) Mesaafi		2.125 85/40(+39%)																															(1) Mesaafi 85/40, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Chelmsford last time, having made plenty of use of; effective over 5/6f and acts on a sound surface; on a competitive mark, in solid form and should contend. Still on last winning mark, but another furlong may suit ideally having won over 6f here.
6	6 (6) (13/2 0%) King's Crown		6.5 13/2(0%)																															(6) King's Crown 13/2, Ran to his best when second, beaten 3/4l off 72 last time; effective over 5/6f and acts on the all-weather; on an upward curve. Dual C&D winner and runner-up here last month; very much respected.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +59%) Juan Les Pins		6.5 13/2(+59%)																															(5) Juan Les Pins 13/2, Below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; veteran suited by 6f on a sound surface; capable off this mark but his losing run is a concern and he returns from a break. Rarely seen over 5f; can go well fresh but losing run up to 25.
4	4 (4) (7/1 0%) Bonnie's Boy		7 7/1(0%)																															(4) Bonnie's Boy 7/1, Visor tried and may have gone too fast early when beaten 6l off 77 last time; top course trainer; effective at 5f and acts on the all-weather; a little erratic but on a good mark on his day. Still 7lb higher than when off the mark over C&D in October.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +6%) Dandy Magic		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(7) Dandy Magic 15/2, Yard won this last year; scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here three starts back; made too much use of last time; wide draw; effective over 5/6f and acts on the all-weather; needs a strong pace at the minimum trip. Both course wins have come over 6f; still needs more to defy this mark.
8	8 (8) (9/1 0%) Lion's House		9 9/1(0%)																															(8) Lion's House 9/1, A bit below form again when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective over 5/6f and suited by a sound surface; his mark is falling but he's not in the best form. 6lb below last winning mark but doesn't come into this in great form; others more solid.
11	11 (11) (10/1 +0%) Hover On The Wind		10 10/1(+0%)																															(11) Hover On The Wind 10/1, Back to form down in the weights when landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective over 5/6f and suited by a sound surface; up 2lb but a contender. 3lb higher than when winning narrowly over C&D last month; may be able to build on that.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -140%) Blue Lakota		18 18/1(-140%)																															(10) Blue Lakota 18/1, Scored by a head off a 4lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; probably made too much use of last time; effective over 5/6f and best on the all-weather; fair mark but inconsistent of late. Returned to winning form over C&D in November, but held back here 11 days later.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -167%) Coronado King		20 20/1(-167%)																															(2) Coronado King 20/1, Did too much early off a short break on handicap debut when beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective over 6/7f and acts on the all-weather; has a chance on best maiden or novice form if settling better down in trip. Well held on handicap debut at Lingfield last month; has something to prove.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -10%) Dark Kestrel		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Dark Kestrel 22/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark here in October but was below form for no obvious reason last time; wide draw; effective over 5/6f and acts on a sound surface; form is very in and out. Two of his four wins have come over C&D; each-way player if they go hard up front.
12	12 (12) (25/1 -79%) Darlo Pride		25 25/1(-79%)																															(12) Darlo Pride 25/1, Ran about to form off a long break when beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; wide draw; effective at 5f and acts on the all-weather; could come on from his reappearance. C&D winner; ran well after a layoff when fourth behind Hover On The Wind here last month.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -267%) Pineapple Island		33 33/1(-267%)																															(3) Pineapple Island 33/1, Produced a better effort on her second start in Britain when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 5f; still has retained ability to prove. Not shown much in just four starts since winning at Cork in April 2023; look elsewhere.

KING'S CROWN won over C&D before running on late to finish a close second back here last month. It could pay to stick with Michael Dods' sprinter, given he looks a safer proposition than Mesaafi in his current frame of mind. The latter has been in the mix over 6f on the Polytrack of late and drops in trip with a shout. Hover On The Wind could shape well again having won a lower grade sprint at the track last time.

The vote goes to dual C&D winner KING'S CROWN (nap) who come into this in fine fettle.

3	3 (3) (2/1 +11%) Duffys Hodey		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Duffys Hodey 2/1, Improved when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Limerick last time; usually held up, effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, suited by cut; looks well treated if turning out quickly and unexposed over fences. Won over this trip at Limerick 3 days ago; big chance of following up with a 7lb penalty.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +13%) Ag Obair Go Crua		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Ag Obair Go Crua 7/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Gowran Park on his penultimate start, then ran to form when fourth beaten 6l off 90 on chase debut last time; effective at 2 1/2m and showing steady progress. Hurdle winner made a solid start to chasing last time; drying ground can help; local yard.
11	11 (11) (4/1 +67%) Likable Chancer		4 4/1(+67%)																															(11) Likable Chancer 4/1, Returned to form when beaten 3l off a 3lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective from 2m6f to 3m and likes the track; fair lcaims if building on recent revival. C&D winner in August; poor back here in November but a solid hurdles run four days ago.
9	9 (9) (9/2 -50%) Toor Moon		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(9) Toor Moon 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; acts on heavy and good ground; consistent but remains a frustrating maiden who has squandered chances. Runner-up all three chase starts including here last time; cheekpieces are added; run well.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +29%) Nolans Rocco		10 10/1(+29%)																															(5) Nolans Rocco 10/1, Had too much to do at a sharp track on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 2 1/2m, unlikely to want shorter; possible improver now handicapping down in class. A bit better over a furlong shorter than this here last time on handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -80%) Fox Le Bel		18 18/1(-80%)																															(10) Fox Le Bel 18/1, Refused in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 3m and acts with cut; previously consistent before a layoff but a maiden with questionable temperament. Longstanding maiden; refused to race at this venue last time; best to look elsewhere.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -50%) Castle Croiuil		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Castle Croiuil 18/1, Returned to form up in trip back over hurdles when second beaten 15l in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; a former pointer who likely needs further than 2m. Modest second in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time; has to jump better back over fences.
14	14 (14) (25/1 -25%) Game And Glory		25 25/1(-25%)																															(14) Game And Glory 25/1, Hinted at revival under a positive ride when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap chase at Thurles last time; returns from a short break; effective around 2 1/2m; had appeared regressive until that effort and not one to rely on. Is 0-17 over fences; beaten 18l at Thurles last time and needs much more.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -40%) Cullenwaine		28 28/1(-40%)																															(12) Cullenwaine 28/1, Hampered by a faller but well beaten and below form in a handicap chase at Roscommon last time; returns from a break; effective at 3m on good ground but remains out of form. Lost his form for Phillip Rothwell over the summer; best watched on return for a new yard.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -27%) Mahler Appeal		28 28/1(-27%)																															(7) Mahler Appeal 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 3m and acts with cut but currently out of form. A record of 1-11 over fences but has been pulled up the last twice and isn't easy to fancy.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -136%) College Causeway		33 33/1(-136%)																															(4) College Causeway 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hexham last time; effective at 3m on good ground but inconsistent in profile. Pulled up when last seen but had been runner-up twice prior to that; a squeak if ready.
13	13 (13) (40/1 -150%) Wild As Fire		40 40/1(-150%)																															(13) Wild As Fire 40/1, Made too much use of the pace and set it up for closers when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; returns from a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by cut. Unexposed in this sphere but needs to show more. Maiden over hurdles ran respectably sole chase start almost a year ago; others preferred.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -100%) Volez Vous		50 50/1(-100%)																															(8) Volez Vous 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; blinkers applied for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m, acts on any ground; progressive over hurdles and unexposed in this sphere but must bounce back. Beaten a long way on chase debut at Thurles and pulled up back over hurdles since.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -52%) Ardaghs Choice		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Ardaghs Choice 50/1, Outpaced and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; returns from a short break; effective at 3m but has had injury issues and must prove ability remains. Well beaten on second comeback run at Punchestown last time but can come on from that.

Toor Moon wears first-time cheekpieces as connections look to break a run of four second places in a row. Likable Chancer has won here twice, with the latest off 1lb higher in August, and he warrants plenty of respect, but DUFFYS HODEY is preferred. A triple winning hurdler, he won over fences for the first time at Limerick readily enough on Monday and he might well follow up.

Though he is reappearing soon enough after his Limerick win in testing ground, it is difficult to oppose DUFFYS HODEY

Open to progress and may reverse Ludlow placings with Crack Ops.

Ties in with Molly's Lad on Aintree running; progress is plausible.

16	16 (16) (33/1 +0%) Marvelous Dragones		33 33/1(+0%)																															(16) Marvelous Dragones 33/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 2l, in a maiden at Durtal last time; tongue-tie back on; needs to show more for new connections on British debut. Placed twice in French bumpers but this looks a harder task.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -82%) Don't Rein Me In		40 40/1(-82%)																															(6) Don't Rein Me In 40/1, Outpaced but rallied to finish runner-up, beaten a length, in a juvenile bumper at Exeter; effective at 13f on good to firm; bumper form has been franked and further improvement is likely over longer trips. Ran encouragingly at Exeter but this is a much deeper contest.

It looked a decent Aintree bumper that MOLLY'S LAD finished second in on debut and it would be no surprise if he went one better here under a more positive ride. Solly's Gold won well at Wetherby and warrants respect, although he's up in class. Roximan is entitled to have come forward for his Wincanton effort and is respected for a top yard, while the winner of that race Bailly's Comet also comes into calculations.

Several contenders bring significant potential, most notably SOLLY'S GOLD. Second pick is Molly's Lad.

1	1 (1) (6/4 +33%) Grey Horizon		1.5 6/4(+33%)																															(1) Grey Horizon 6/4, Scored by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Catterick three starts back; pulled too hard early up in trip last time; effective at 5/6f, will stay 7f if settling better; acts on all-weather; in good form. Good stable debut (6f) and latest effort was over 7f in a higher grade; solid claims.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +0%) Rosieisme Darling		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(6) Rosieisme Darling 9/2, Ran to form off a good mark landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; effective at 5f, acts on AW; in good form, likeable, more to come. Ended 2025 on the up; has to prove she stays 6f but likely she will and may do better yet.

3	3 (3) (8/1 +11%) Inclusive		8 8/1(+11%)																															(3) Inclusive 8/1, No-show from off the pace tried in a hood well beaten in a nursery at Yarmouth latest; trainer in form; wide draw; off a short-break; sire sprinter, dam stayed 10f, action suggests give will suit; bounce back needed. Couldn't live up to market billing on nursery debut in October; hood off now down in trip.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -18%) Lady Lucky Vegas		10 10/1(-18%)																															(8) Lady Lucky Vegas 10/1, Off a short break after showing little from off the pace when well beaten in a nursery at Leicester last time; effective at 5f; has looked a tricky ride and stamina is unproven over this far. Below par latest (7f, soft); some promise beforehand and Billy Loughnane booked.

Tailed off over 9.5f 12 days ago; drops in trip with a point to prove.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -33%) Petes Diamond		16 16/1(-33%)																															(5) Petes Diamond 16/1, Displayed a good attitude but only ran to the balance of form when down in trip and comfortably held in a novice here last time; visor applied for the first time; probably better at 7f; acts on all-weather; game but limited. Modest form in 3 quick AW runs this winter; headgear on for h'cap debut; possible improver.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -100%) Magnificent Mel		16 16/1(-100%)																															(9) Magnificent Mel 16/1, Roughly to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; effective at 6f; acts on all-weather; slightly better than the bare form of that run and on a fair mark. Third behind Saeculamation on last month's nursery debut (6f); may do better yet.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -82%) Missile Kode		20 20/1(-82%)																															(4) Missile Kode 20/1, Failed to make an impact from off the pace when well beaten in a maiden at Leicester last time; off a short break; pedigree suggests speed; yet to show much and likely to be suited to lower-grade handicaps. Not easily recommended on racecourse evidence but faces a more realistic challenge today.

GREY HORIZON is taking his racing well and the Catterick winner has performed soundly in defeat in two starts since reverting to the all-weather. The latest of those efforts was a third at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and another bold showing looks assured. Of the others, it would be foolish to dismiss both Chelmsford winner Rosieisme Darling and Petes Diamond.

Grey Horizon, Saeculamation and ROSIEISME DARLING all arrive in good form and the last-named can follow up her Chelmsford win.

1	1 (1) (5/6 +0%) Early Dawning		0.833333 5/6(+0%)																															(1) Early Dawning 5/6, Showed plenty of promise on debut when third, beaten 2l in a bumper here after possibly hitting the front too soon. Returns from a long layoff; effective over 2m and handles cut. Debut form has been franked at Graded level over hurdles and should progress. Plenty green on debut when third in C&D sales bumper in April; top amateur takes over now.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +25%) Seven Towers		3 3/1(+25%)																															(4) Seven Towers 3/1, Made a promising start when runner-up, beaten 2l in a maiden at Loughbrickland on only run. Returns from a long layoff and has joined a top stable which can get them ready first time; of interest. Points' runner-up has joined top yard and market should be informative on rules debut.
6	6 (6) (3/1 -33%) With Nolimit		3 3/1(-33%)																															(6) With Nolimit 3/1, Very promising debut when fourth, beaten 13l in a bumper at Navan last time. From a top yard and a point winner who looks the type to win a bumper soon. Testing ground may not have suited at Navan, possible improver on this better ground.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +52%) Some See Stars		16 16/1(+52%)																															(5) Some See Stars 16/1, Keen and showed slight improvement for debut experience when well beaten in an auction bumper at Naas last time. Effective over 2m and handles heavy ground. Progressing but more improvement needed to get off the mark. Never counted in midfield under today's rider at Naas last month; may need more time.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -27%) Home By The Sea		28 28/1(-27%)																															(2) Home By The Sea 28/1, 1,200 euros Affinisea gelding, half-brother to Rockonmolly who was poor at 20f; dam was moderate at 7f. Probably best watched on debut. Bought for small money as a yearling; market best guide on debut.

LTO Selection:

Gordon Elliott and Harry Swan have teamed up to win two of the last three renewals, so a much improved effort from Navan fourth With Nolimit would be no surprise. However, EARLY DAWNING finished a creditable third over C&D to the useful I'm Slippy and he looks one to keep on the right side of with Patrick Mullins taking over the reins. A runner-up between the flags, Seven Towers is also worthy of a second glance.

With Nolimit could improve for this better ground but C&D third EARLY DAWNING is preferred now with Patrick Mullins aboard

11	11 (11) (150/1 +0%) Topsham Tide		150 150/1(+0%)																															(11) Topsham Tide 150/1, Never involved and modest on debut when well beaten in a bumper here on her only start; has plenty to prove. Struggled at a big price on C&D debut last month and was a long behind I'm Wide Awake.
2	2 (2) (5/2 -11%) Blackswan D'oroux		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(2) Blackswan D'oroux 5/2, 155,000 euros Tunis gelding; half-brother to Blueking D'Oroux, high-class at 19f; top trainer. 155,000euros 3yo; yard 17% in bumpers in recent seasons and he's an interesting newcomer.

10	10 (10) (125/1 +17%) Rob's Spirit		125 125/1(+17%)																															(10) Rob's Spirit 125/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Chepstow on her only start; likely to need more time. 200-1 and was tailed off on Chepstow debut (2m, soft) in November.

LTO Selection:

---

Having filled the runner-up berth on both outings, I'm Wide Awake should put his experience to good use. Sue Gardner's charge is unlikely to be far away, while Ffos Las third Big John Ollie is open to improvement on just his second start. However, the pair may be trumped by newcomer LE COLD GREY, a half-brother to the triple Grade 1 winner Gaillard Du Mesnil and he may take some stopping if sharing his ability.

The market should be informative but at this stage the vote goes to Ben Pauling's striking newcomer BLACKSWAN D'OROUX.

Hinted at a revival for new yard when eighth at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; not discounted.
8	8 (8) (33/1 -32%) Novak		33 33/1(-32%)																															(8) Novak 33/1, Ran to the balance of recent form down in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective at 6f to 7f, acts on all-weather; consistent if below best in last four starts.

Course regular CALLIANASSA was entitled to need the outing when placed here on her first start since August. The daughter of Invincible Army recorded a C&D double during the summer and remains of interest off her current mark. Concert Boy has a 9lb hike to contend with having returned the decisive winner at the track last time, so The Green Man may prove a bigger danger.

Lots with chances but FRANCESI has thrived since joining Tony Carroll and is taken to bag a second win for the yard.

ANOTHER RUN was an eyecatcher in defeat at Kempton last time when not getting the clearest of runs at a crucial stage. A distance scorer there the time before, he makes plenty of appeal and should go very close with normal luck in running. Chemistry showed he handles the all-weather with a solid fourth over the extended 2m here, while Enemy and Assail are a couple more to consider.

Humble Spark is primed to go well but ANOTHER RUN still looked ahead of his mark at Kempton and gets the vote.

More prolific on turf; hasn't beaten a rival on two recent C&D visits; hood reached for..

CORAMENTO ended last year in fine form. Successful over 7f here in October, he had a subsequent dual winner back in third when following up over C&D and the hat-trick beckons for David Thompson's charge on the strength of that form. Pallas Lord showed signs of a resurgence when third at the track recently, while No Nay Nevermind and the veteran Trais Fluors also enter calculations.

Having twice recently run as if this step up from 7f is timely, NO NAY NEVERMIND is narrowly preferred to veteran Trais Fluors.

4	4 (4) (4/7 +52%) Blue Rc		0.571429 4/7(+52%)																															(4) Blue Rc 4/7, Improved again when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective between 6f and 8f and acts on the all-weather. Another strong run looks likely off 1lb higher. In front of all today's rivals when second last time; that run can be upgraded; unexposed.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +17%) Two Tempting		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(2) Two Tempting 10/3, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton on his penultimate start and ran to form last time. Effective at 7/8f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to find a bit more from this current mark. In top form but no obvious reason why he should reverse Chelmsford placings with Blue Rc.

Trainer in good form. Effective at 7/8f and handles the all-weather; should come on for that latest effort. Behind two of these last time but when returning from a break; better expected here.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -118%) Serengeti		12 12/1(-118%)																															(1) Serengeti 12/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Naas three starts back. A bit below his best when stepped up in trip last time, but suited by 7f and handles the all-weather. Ex-Ballydoyle, and the drop in trip may prove ideal. Failed to build on a promising stable debut last time but wasn't well positioned.

Effective at 7/8f and handles yielding ground. Ex-Irish performer who remains on a testing mark. Low-key stable debut behind all of today's rivals three weeks ago; risky for now.

BLUE RC filled the runner-up spot for the second time running when narrowly denied over a mile at Chelmsford three weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see him go one better here, despite a 1lb rise. Two Tempting was a place behind the selection on that occasion and could pose the biggest threat, while Popmaster is next best.

The prospect of a tactical event dents confidence slightly but the progressive BLUE RC can confirm Chelmsford placings with his rivals.

Suited by 6f and acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather; his current mark looks about right. On dangerous mark and he turned things around with close third C&D 12 days ago; respected.

Effective at 6f and best on all-weather; on a workable mark. 11-time course winner and he was a good second over C&D last time; in the mix.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -120%) Sovereign Class		11 11/1(-120%)																															(2) Sovereign Class 11/1, Produced a slightly better effort when made plenty of use of up in trip, beaten 5l in a handicap here last time.

3	3 (3) (20/1 -167%) Auntie Jo		20 20/1(-167%)																															(3) Auntie Jo 20/1, Below par when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time. The trainer is in form. Suited by 5f, possibly stays 6f, acts on all-weather; returns from a break and likely to need the run. Inconsistent 12-race maiden who has form figures of 5488 at this trip; opposable on return.
10	10 (10) (22/1 -10%) Yellow Lemons		22 22/1(-10%)																															(10) Yellow Lemons 22/1, Unwilling when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective at 6-8f and acts on all-weather; an irresolute maiden. Some good efforts over C&D since October but she's a frequent slow starter who is now 0-18.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Green Valentine		25 25/1(+0%)																															(5) Green Valentine 25/1, The yard has won two of the last six runnings of this race. Scored by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here three starts back but raced too freely last time. Effective at 5/6f; on a competitive mark but difficult to predict when in the right mood. Both wins have come at big prices and she needs another bolt from the blue.
11	11 (11) (25/1 0%) She'sashambles		25 25/1(0%)																															(11) She'sashambles 25/1, Poor effort when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently.

Effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; currently in terrible form. Last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs.

Doon The Glen ended his last campaign with a breakthrough victory over C&D and he's worth a second look in the market on his return to handicap company. Regardless, ATHOLLBLAIR BOY arrives on the back of a good second over track and trip and a 2lb nudge up the ratings may not prevent compensation. Spartan Fighter and Master Dandy are other key players.

Top of the list is MASTER DANDY, who returned to form with a bold bid over C&D 12 days ago and is a big player if he can back that up.

Good 6f Polytrack record; creditable 5f show after absence for new yard; first Tapeta run.

Following a narrow victory at Kempton a month ago, BUCCABAY could follow up off just 3lb higher in this competitive contest. The son of Saxon Warrior has a good record on the all-weather and may have further improvement to come. Oriental Prince was narrowly denied off this mark at Newcastle last time and has to be noted, while similar comments apply to Stanley Spencer. Others to note are Filly One, Prince Of Pillo and Gunlock.

Buccabay has some handicapping scope on the AW but GUNLOCK looks well worth trying over 6f following a good 7f win at Kempton.

Returning from a break and yet to show any reliable form. Last here in September on final run for Neil Mechie; needs yard switch to spark progress.

Having looked something of an unlucky loser when a never-nearer second over C&D recently, FIRCOMBE HALL makes plenty of appeal. Philip Kirby's inmate is likely to go close with a similar performance and a ninth career victory may beckon. Reopposing fourth Penny Mountain may serve the most resistance to the selection, although an improved performance from Beneficiary in refitted blinkers wouldn't come as a surprise.

Top-weight DILIGENT HENRY, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when tenth at Chelmsford last time, could prove the answer eased 1lb.

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.
