2 2nd (9) (2.75/1 +45%) Boot 'n' Shoe	2.75/1(+45%)	(9) Boot 'n' Shoe 2.75/1, Ask gelding. Closely related to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class 3m chaser Noland. Yard always to be respected in these events. High on the shortlist.
3 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Bingoo	4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Bingoo 4.5/1, Eastern Anthem gelding. Dam, fair bumper/21f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful 2m chaser Practice Match. Debutant is no forlorn hope.
4 4th (5) (25/1 -25%) Amber Gold	25/1(-25%)	(5) Amber Gold 25/1, Iktibas mare. Dam maiden hurdler. Betting should prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.
5th 5th (8) (22/1 -144%) Syltezar	22/1(-144%)	(8) Syltezar 22/1, Flemensfirth mare. Sister to bumper winner Autonomous Cloud. Possibilities on her debut run.
6th 6th (4) (9/1 +25%) Top Ville Bobby	9/1(+25%)	(4) Top Ville Bobby 9/1, Yeats gelding. Half-brother to the stable's high-class chaser Top Ville Ben. Appeals on paper, so newcomer is well worth a second look.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (5) (3.33/1 +0%) Moroder	3.33/1(+0%)	(5) Moroder 3.33/1, Bumper winner who opened hurdles account at Fakenham (23.4f) in February. Left previous chasing efforts well behind when landing 7-tunner contest at Plumpton and 4 lb rise is fair.
2 2nd (1) (1.5/1 +7%) Gustavian	1.5/1(+7%)	(1) Gustavian 1.5/1, Dual hurdles winner last term and promising start over fences following a wind op when third in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap. Hindered by errors both starts since but his mark remains a very fair one.
3 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) Huntsmans Jog	2.5/1(+29%)	(4) Huntsmans Jog 2.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler (successful here in December 2020) and runner-up 3 times from 5 starts over fences. Didn't do a lot wrong when third over C&D last month.
\|F\| \|F\| (3) (18/1 -50%) Gosheven	18/1(-50%)	(3) Gosheven 18/1, Relished step up to 3m when opening hurdles account in maiden company at Doncaster. Second to Beatthebullet on chase bow/reappearance here but ran badly on New Year's Day. Cheekpieces added.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (9/1 -38%) Beatthebullet	9/1(-38%)	(2) Beatthebullet 9/1, Dual point winner/25f hurdles winner who jumped better than 2 rivals to make a winning chase debut over C&D in November. Only fifth in a better ace at Newbury but can make his presence felt.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Kihavah	4.5/1(-13%)	(1) Kihavah 4.5/1, Fair maiden hurder who arrives in excellent nick, collared line having edged left from last when second of 10 in 2m handicap at Wetherby 23 days ago. Well in the mix despite 3 lb rise.
2 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Twoshotsoftequila	3.5/1(+22%)	(4) Twoshotsoftequila 3.5/1, Recorded a career best when opening his account in 2m novice hurdle (8/1) at Sedgefield 23 days ago. Goes into handicaps now and figures high on the shortlist.
3 3rd (11) (40/1 -60%) Lizzie Loch	40/1(-60%)	(11) Lizzie Loch 40/1, Modest 14f Flat winner, but he's yet to match that form over hurdle, off 8 months/breathing op before fading fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f) 29 days ago. Needs to step forward.
4 4th (9) (4/1 -14%) Oot Ma Way	4/1(-14%)	(9) Oot Ma Way 4/1, Modest 10f Flat winner. 50/1, shaped well when second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f) 17 days ago, so she merits serious consideration now handicapping off an attractive mark.
5th 5th (3) (5/1 +0%) El Jefe	5/1(+0%)	(3) El Jefe 5/1, Breakthrough winner at Sedgefield in December. Excellent second of 14 in 2m handicap at Catterick 17 days ago, so he's firmly in the picture once more. Tongue strap goes on.
6th 6th (7) (25/1 +29%) Jack Yeats	25/1(+29%)	(7) Jack Yeats 25/1, Fair ex-Irish Flat winner but he's yet to match that form in this sphere, sixth of 12 in 2m handicap hurdle at Musselburgh 15 days ago. Cheekpieces go on with more needed.
7th 7th (10) (40/1 -33%) Trac	40/1(-33%)	(10) Trac 40/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser who beat only one in 20f handicap hurdle (28/1) at Sedgefield 23 days ago. Others appeal more.
8th 8th (8) (40/1 -60%) Monjules	40/1(-60%)	(8) Monjules 40/1, Made winning debut for current yard in Sedgefield juvenile in November but only sixth in similar company at Market Rasen last time. Into handicaps now with a bit to prove.
9th 9th (2) (20/1 -122%) Tommydan	20/1(-122%)	(2) Tommydan 20/1, Clonmel 2m maiden winner for Debbie Hartnett who posted respectable fourth in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f) in October. Much respected after his break for new yard.
\|F\| \|F\| (5) (3/1 +54%) North Parade	3/1(+54%)	(5) North Parade 3/1, Off 7 months but showed easily his best form over hurdles when fourth of 11 in novice at Carlisle (17f) 37 days ago. May do better still now handicapping, especially if improving his jumping.
10th 10th (6) (150/1 -50%) High Sheriff	150/1(-50%)	(6) High Sheriff 150/1, Had wind op before only seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 140 days ago. Maiden has tongue strap on with lots to prove.

13:40 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (8) (0.67/1 +44%) Miss Fairfax	0.67/1(+44%)	(8) Miss Fairfax 0.67/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers and promising placed efforts over hurdles in races won by potentially useful types at Leicester (20.5f) and Ludlow (21.2f) last month. Remains open to improvement.
2 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Eureka Creek	2/1(+20%)	(3) Eureka Creek 2/1, Irish point winner who shaped well when runner-up on Rules debut at Leicester. Conceded first run when 1¼ lengths adrift of Don't Rightly Know at Uttoxeter since and she has to enter calculations.
3 3rd (4) (12/1 -85%) Glancing Glory	12/1(-85%)	(4) Glancing Glory 12/1, Successful on the second of her 2 starts between the flags, but she has work to do judged on Rules debut effort at Uttoxeter where she was a fair way behind Don't Rightly Know and Eureka Creek.
4 4th (1) (150/1 -50%) Castkitello	150/1(-50%)	(1) Castkitello 150/1, Well beaten on each of her 3 starts to date and a huge leap forward will be required if she's to make an impact here.
5th 5th (6) (40/1 -344%) Khalina Star	40/1(-344%)	(6) Khalina Star 40/1, Sister to 3 winners and bettered Rules debut effort when fifth in a 9-runner Plumpton bumper (17.8f). Tongue strap enlisted and this stiffer test should be in her favour now switched to hurdles.
6th 6th (5) (12/1 -20%) Iconic Rock	12/1(-20%)	(5) Iconic Rock 12/1, Found just one too good on sole point start in November, and it'll be interesting to see how she fares in the betting starting out under Rules here. Hooded.
7th 7th (7) (300/1 -50%) Kiwi Ling	300/1(-50%)	(7) Kiwi Ling 300/1, Has achieved very little to date and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

13:55 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (12/1 -33%) Cenotice	12/1(-33%)	(1) Cenotice 12/1, Opened his chase account at Perth in July and has continued in decent nick, tongue strap on when fourth of 6 in 2m handicap at Catterick 35 days ago. Shortlisted.
2 2nd (5) (11/1 +8%) Treshnish	11/1(+8%)	(5) Treshnish 11/1, Scored at Hexham in December but only fifth of 6 in handicap at Kelso 20 days ago. C&D winner, but he needs to bounce back now.
3 3rd (3) (1.62/1 -78%) Gallic Geordie	1.62/1(-78%)	(3) Gallic Geordie 1.62/1, Thriving at present, and he completed his hat-trick in 2m handicap chase at Newbury 20 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but he's still weighted to complete a four-timer.
4 4th (6) (5.5/1 +31%) Time Leader	5.5/1(+31%)	(6) Time Leader 5.5/1, Opened his hurdling account at Carlisle (20f) on his debut for this yard before good fourth at Ayr. Goes chasing now and he's no forlorn hope.
5th 5th (4) (4.5/1 +40%) Da Vinci Hand	4.5/1(+40%)	(4) Da Vinci Hand 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who opened his account in this sphere in 2m handicap at Catterick 21 days ago. Much respected despite 4 lb rise.
6th 6th (2) (25/1 -108%) Baby King	25/1(-108%)	(2) Baby King 25/1, It's now eleven runs since his last win in 2019, though he shaped as if in need of the run after 4 months off when fifth in 2m handicap at Huntingdon last time. Not discounted off 5 lb lower mark.
7th 7th (7) (3.33/1 +52%) Rollerruler	3.33/1(+52%)	(7) Rollerruler 3.33/1, Resumed with win at Hexham in November on his first start for current yard only to run poorly when odds-on at Carlisle since. Has a bit to prove.
8th 8th (8) (150/1 +25%) Big Bold Gold	150/1(+25%)	(8) Big Bold Gold 150/1, Offered little in three runs over hurdles, and pulled up in 25f Catterick handicap on his debut over fences 21 days ago. Easily opposed from a long way out of the handicap.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

14:10 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (7) (1.38/1 +8%) Serious Charges	1.38/1(+8%)	(7) Serious Charges 1.38/1, Runner-up sole start between the flags and and again found just one too good on Rules debut in 2m Chepstow bumper last month. Very much one to consider now switched to hurdles.
2 2nd (6) (5/1 +33%) Scarface	5/1(+33%)	(6) Scarface 5/1, Showed ability first 2 starts in bumpers prior to understandably coming up short in listed company at Ascot last month. Makes hurdles debut at a realistic level and he's worth a second look.
3 3rd (5) (100/1 -100%) Sadler's Bay	100/1(-100%)	(5) Sadler's Bay 100/1, £7,000 half-brother to point winner. Yard is hardly a regular source of winning newcomers and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time.
4 4th (2) (6/1 +33%) Keplerian	6/1(+33%)	(2) Keplerian 6/1, Glimmers of ability all 3 starts to date, most notably when fourth of 11 in 2m Chepstow novice recently. Likely to be seen in a better light when he learns to settle and makes the switch to handicaps.
5th 5th (3) (5/1 +0%) Mini Yeats	5/1(+0%)	(3) Mini Yeats 5/1, Thoroughly encouraging start to his career when third in an 11-runner Wincanton maiden hurdle (15.2f) 10 days ago. Entitled to progress and this stiffer track is likely to aid his cause.
6th 6th (4) (14/1 +44%) Per Vino Veritas	14/1(+44%)	(4) Per Vino Veritas 14/1, Didn't shape at all badly on return/hurdles debut in C&D novice won by a useful prospect in November, but he was well behind when falling at the last at Wincanton next time.
7th 7th (8) (33/1 -32%) Stringtoyourbow	33/1(-32%)	(8) Stringtoyourbow 33/1, Placed sole point start last spring and should have a future under Rules, albeit he'll probably come into his own when faced with a stiffer test further down the line. Yard also saddles What A Muddle.
8th 8th (12) (150/1 -50%) Lady Ironside	150/1(-50%)	(12) Lady Ironside 150/1, Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland, but well beaten both completed starts in this sphere to date.
9th 9th (11) (125/1 -89%) Firefly Lane	125/1(-89%)	(11) Firefly Lane 125/1, Little impact both starts in bumpers and predictably struggled starting out over hurdles in a mares' listed event at Taunton.
10th 10th (10) (100/1 +0%) What A Muddle	100/1(+0%)	(10) What A Muddle 100/1, Showed some ability when third on debut in a Fontwell bumper for Gary Moore, but that was back in June 2018 and he's been absent since.
11th 11th (9) (4.5/1 -50%) Tokyo Live	4.5/1(-50%)	(9) Tokyo Live 4.5/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart French hurdler Tunis. Made the frame all 3 starts in 4-y-o hurdles for Francois Nicolle last summer and he's an intriguing candidate on this British debut.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (200/1 -100%) Blakey Bear	200/1(-100%)	(1) Blakey Bear 200/1, Tailed off on debut at Plumpton last month and she's probably more of a long-term project.

14:25 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (9/1 +18%) Lord Roco	9/1(+18%)	(6) Lord Roco 9/1, Offered more than previously when second of 8 in 20.5f Ayr novice hurdle 16 days ago, proving well suited by the step up in trip. Has cheekpieces added now.
2 2nd (2) (11/1 +78%) Firth Of Forth	11/1(+78%)	(2) Firth Of Forth 11/1, Fair form in bumpers but has run to only a modest level in 2 hurdle outings. Probably more one for handicaps after this.
3 3rd (9) (2.75/1 +8%) Onward Route	2.75/1(+8%)	(9) Onward Route 2.75/1, Fair in bumpers/over hurdles, finished placed in a pair of jumpers' bumpers here when last seen in February. Had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Respected under Brian Hughes.
4 4th (7) (9/1 +0%) Mount Melleray	9/1(+0%)	(7) Mount Melleray 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in Ireland, finishing third over fences at Cork in November. Ought to be competitive back over hurdles on British debut.
5th 5th (1) (3/1 -84%) Deeper Blue	3/1(-84%)	(1) Deeper Blue 3/1, Fair form in two bumpers and left opening hurdles run behind when second to a good one at Chepstow in October. Disappointed in an Exeter handicap 7 weeks later but good shout on the Chepstow form.
6th 6th (10) (3.33/1 +63%) Ritson	3.33/1(+63%)	(10) Ritson 3.33/1, Fair form in bumpers and similar standard over hurdles, finishing 11 second at Wetherby (2m, heavy) over Christmas. Likely to be in the shake-up.
7th 7th (12) (40/1 -60%) Lucky Light	40/1(-60%)	(12) Lucky Light 40/1, Point winner but ran to only a modest level when a remote second on his Sedgefield hurdle debut on Boxing Day. Plenty of improvement will be needed.
8th 8th (13) (250/1 -25%) Songbird's Tale	250/1(-25%)	(13) Songbird's Tale 250/1, Well held in 4 bumpers and a long way behind reopposing stablemate Lucky Light when a distant fourth on her Sedgefield hurdle debut on Boxing Day.
9th 9th (8) (66/1 -65%) Nights In Venice	66/1(-65%)	(8) Nights In Venice 66/1, Best effort in 3 bumpers when runner-up at Kelso in November, although the form is nothing special. Probably best watched now hurdling.
10th 10th (4) (18/1 -50%) Great Ballinboris	18/1(-50%)	(4) Great Ballinboris 18/1, Showed ability when fourth of 12 in a Wetherby bumper 11 days ago. Now makes a quick switch to hurdles over a longer trip.
11th 11th (5) (40/1 -100%) Jack Of All Shapes	40/1(-100%)	(5) Jack Of All Shapes 40/1, Steady progress in bumpers, including second at Ayr in October. Only midfield on his Hexham hurdle debut since but he should be capable of better.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (25/1 +0%) Glenbeg Lake	25/1(+0%)	(3) Glenbeg Lake 25/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Oct 30). Betting should guide on Rules debut.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (11) (250/1 -25%) Room At The Top	250/1(-25%)	(11) Room At The Top 250/1, Lightly raced 6-y-o who pulled up on both hurdle starts last month. Big outsider.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (13) (40/1 +0%) Trump Lady	40/1(+0%)	(13) Trump Lady 40/1, Point/novice hurdle winner but hasn't shown much in 3 outings this season, including on recent first run for new trainer over fences. Hard to fancy.
2 2nd (15) (80/1 -21%) Show On The Road	80/1(-21%)	(15) Show On The Road 80/1, Bumper/dual 17f hurdles winner for Philip Hobbs, but has yet to fire for this yard. Mark has come down a long way as a result but can only really be watched.
3 3rd (4) (12/1 -33%) Cawthorne Lad	12/1(-33%)	(4) Cawthorne Lad 12/1, Sprung a 25/1 surprise Stratford chase debut/reappearance. Jumped poorly when last of 6 at Southwell since and now makes a quick return to hurdles.
4 4th (10) (9/1 +55%) Stratton Oakmont	9/1(+55%)	(10) Stratton Oakmont 9/1, Displayed ability in bumpers. Improved effort over hurdles when third of 7 in Bangor novice last month, but his opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous.
5th 5th (2) (8.5/1 -31%) Manvers House	8.5/1(-31%)	(2) Manvers House 8.5/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler who has pulled up in a pair of chase runs this winter. May revive back over timber. Also has cheekpieces on first time.
6th 6th (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Seventeen O Four	3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Seventeen O Four 3.33/1, Dual Flat winner last spring who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 12 rivals in a 2m Chepstow novice over Christmas. Likely he has more to offer now handicapping.
7th 7th (16) (7/1 +65%) Daytime Ahead	7/1(+65%)	(16) Daytime Ahead 7/1, Landed a pair of handicap hurdles here in 2019-20 (including over C&D). Lightly raced since but C&D fourth on New Year's Day does show she retains some ability.
8th 8th (11) (6.5/1 +19%) No Hubs No Hoobs	6.5/1(+19%)	(11) No Hubs No Hoobs 6.5/1, Failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when sixth of 12 over 21.5f here last month but he did show up well for a long way and perhaps he'll fare better back down in trip.
9th 9th (1) (50/1 -150%) Paradise Island	50/1(-150%)	(1) Paradise Island 50/1, Three-time hurdle winner in France. Midfield in a claimer on final start there in October. One of 2 runners from the yard here. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.
\|U\| \|U\| (6) (6/1 +33%) Nickelsonthedime	6/1(+33%)	(6) Nickelsonthedime 6/1, Remains a maiden over hurdles but having slipped in weights he returned to form when fourth in a 21.5f course handicap last month. Tongue tie worn on that occasion retained.
10th 10th (14) (80/1 -21%) Portentoso	80/1(-21%)	(14) Portentoso 80/1, Little show since joining yard from France so far, pulling up at Huntingdon on Boxing Day.
11th 11th (9) (10/1 +29%) Gastara	10/1(+29%)	(9) Gastara 10/1, Showed he can be competitive off this sort of mark last spring. Could play a part if new trainer has him primed after 9 months off.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (16/1 -129%) Tremwedge	16/1(-129%)	(5) Tremwedge 16/1, Fair maiden who made a sound start to his handicap career when second over 2m at Kempton last April. Contender if ready to roll after 9 months off.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (16/1 -14%) Born In Borris	16/1(-14%)	(7) Born In Borris 16/1, Point/novice hurdle winner. Hasn't built on a promising chase debut third but no surprise were she to fare better back over the smaller obstacles.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (12) (20/1 -43%) Not Sure	20/1(-43%)	(12) Not Sure 20/1, Runner-up in a bumper. Fair form over hurdles last spring but he hasn't been in the same form in a couple of handicap starts this winter, his latter third coming in a weak 4-runner affair.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (100/1 -100%) Sastruga	100/1(-100%)	(8) Sastruga 100/1, Won on Newton Abbot stable debut in October 2020 but has run poorly on all 3 outings since. Hopes pinned on a wind operation since last seen having a positive efffect.

(2) (2.25/1 +0%) Uncle Alastair	2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Uncle Alastair 2.25/1, Dual bumper/multiple hurdles winner who was narrowly outpointed by a progressive type on return at Carlisle (20.9f) last month. Low-mileage for a horse of his age and he has to be feared.
1 1st (4) (1/1 +56%) Omar Maretti	1/1(+56%)	(4) Omar Maretti 1/1, Dual point winner who did the job well when scoring twice over hurdles at Catterick last term. Promising second on return/chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) on Boxing Day and improvement likely.
2 2nd (1) (1.2/1 +31%) Come On Teddy	1.2/1(+31%)	(1) Come On Teddy 1.2/1, Useful staying handicap hurdler who made perfect start over fences at Uttoxeter (2½) last month. Struggled in a Cheltenham Grade 2 since, but merits respect now back in calmer waters.
3 3rd (3) (9/1 +44%) Hold The Note	9/1(+44%)	(3) Hold The Note 9/1, Novice hurdle winner who has shown useful form over fences since without managing to get his head in front in this sphere. Pulled up on recent return for new yard and fair bit to prove at present.
4 4th (5) (33/1 +34%) Dis Donc	33/1(+34%)	(5) Dis Donc 33/1, Long-standing maiden over fences for Noel Meade and well held both starts for new yard this season.

1 1st (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Sabbathical	3.5/1(+13%)	(3) Sabbathical 3.5/1, Scored over fences at Fakenham in November and has continued in good order in this sphere, third at Ffos Las (2m) 13 days ago. Holds good claims eased 2 lb.
2 2nd (6) (12/1 -60%) Thedancingman	12/1(-60%)	(6) Thedancingman 12/1, Lightly raced maiden hurdler who has been off 10 months since good third of 17 in 19f Taunton handicap. No forlorn hope.
3 3rd (10) (9/1 +64%) Imperial Joe	9/1(+64%)	(10) Imperial Joe 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving David Dennis when remote fifth of 9 in novice over C&D 17 days ago. More required now going handicapping.
4 4th (11) (11/1 +45%) Hartland Quay	11/1(+45%)	(11) Hartland Quay 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 25 months before falling last (well held) in handicap at Uttoxeter 32 days ago. Others are preferred.
5th 5th (8) (18/1 -29%) Olly's Folly	18/1(-29%)	(8) Olly's Folly 18/1, Poor Flat maiden who comes here on back of second of 5 in 2m Taunton selling hurdle 40 days ago. Others look better treated at these weights, however.
6th 6th (4) (5/1 +38%) Chantilly Haze	5/1(+38%)	(4) Chantilly Haze 5/1, In good form and run best ignored (badly hampered home turn) when pulled up in handicap at Wincanton 35 days ago. Considered.
7th 7th (13) (80/1 +20%) Master Mikey Dee	80/1(+20%)	(13) Master Mikey Dee 80/1, Poor maiden hurdler. 66/1, only tenth in handicap at Hereford (19.7f) 14 days ago, so he's easily opposed.
8th 8th (9) (7/1 -17%) Templier	7/1(-17%)	(9) Templier 7/1, Wide-margin winner of 2m chase at Warwick in December but below=par third at Ffos Las 13 days ago. Worth considering reverted to hurdles off 7 lb lower mark.
9th 9th (1) (22/1 -175%) Ardmayle	22/1(-175%)	(1) Ardmayle 22/1, It's now twelve runs since his last win in 2019, and he jumped poorly when only fifth of 7 in 2m handicap at Lingfield 29 days ago. Back over hurdles with something to prove.
10th 10th (2) (3.33/1 -48%) Branson Missouri	3.33/1(-48%)	(2) Branson Missouri 3.33/1, Gambled on when emphatically opening his account in 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter 18 days ago. Up 7 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (10) (4/1 +0%) Stoney Rover	4/1(+0%)	(10) Stoney Rover 4/1, Fair hurder/chaser for Katie Scott and he's shaped with promise in a pair of handicap hurdles since returning from an absence for his new yard, finishing second of 14 at Hexham latterly. Big player.
2 2nd (9) (10/1 +29%) Kaizer	10/1(+29%)	(9) Kaizer 10/1, Respectable fifth of 10 at Kelso in first-time cheekpieces (off now) over Christmas, although the reopposing Skipthescales was ahead of him in second.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +27%) Getalead	4/1(+27%)	(3) Getalead 4/1, Thrived late last year, rattling off quick-fire hat-trick. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 13 over 19f at Taunton last month. Claims if stamina holds now stepping up in trip.
4 4th (13) (8.5/1 -21%) Bullion Boss	8.5/1(-21%)	(13) Bullion Boss 8.5/1, Opened his account in 3m Musselburgh handicap last January and has recorded creditable efforts on both starts this season (C&D first occasion). Ought to figure again.
5th 5th (7) (9/1 +55%) The Delray Munky	9/1(+55%)	(7) The Delray Munky 9/1, Kelso chase winner last winter who didn't show enough in a couple of comeback runs over hurdles last month to fancy his chances here.
6th 6th (12) (25/1 -14%) Dequall	25/1(-14%)	(12) Dequall 25/1, Didn't take to fences last month and he was rather laboured when a well-held third back hurdling at Wetherby 11 days ago. First-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to sharpen him up.
7th 7th (1) (25/1 -257%) Taxmeifyoucan	25/1(-257%)	(1) Taxmeifyoucan 25/1, Has struggled for form in varied events since 3¼m Musselburgh win last February. Does have up Brian Hughes up, though, so worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
8th 8th (8) (7/1 +30%) Skipthescales	7/1(+30%)	(8) Skipthescales 7/1, Long time since he last won, although latest Kelso second was his best run this season. Sports a visor for the first time here.
9th 9th (5) (5.5/1 +0%) Return Fire	5.5/1(+0%)	(5) Return Fire 5.5/1, Fair form, finishing placed on all 3 starts since his debut, including a handicap. Less exposed than most of these and fancied to figure prominently again.
10th 10th (15) (50/1 +0%) Lissen To The Lady	50/1(+0%)	(15) Lissen To The Lady 50/1, Hit the target at Carlisle and Kelso last spring but not in the same form in recent months. 5 lb out of the handicap and likely best to look elsewhere.
11th 11th (6) (16/1 +43%) Soivegotachance	16/1(+43%)	(6) Soivegotachance 16/1, Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles but he ran no sort of race on 19.5f Ayr handicap debut in November. Up in trip.
12th 12th (11) (10/1 +17%) Kauto D'amour	10/1(+17%)	(11) Kauto D'amour 10/1, Hasn't offered that much encouragement in his 4 runs this season but the fact that both his wins came here means it wouldn't be a surprise if he staged a revival.
13th 13th (4) (150/1 -500%) Filou Des Issards	150/1(-500%)	(4) Filou Des Issards 150/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs. Little impact in points last year and watching brief advised on Rules return with a first-time headgear combination fitted.
14th 14th (2) (125/1 -150%) Furax	125/1(-150%)	(2) Furax 125/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but well held in a Catterick handicap hurdle on his stable debut last February and absent since. Could only consider if backed.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (14) (80/1 -60%) Penpal	80/1(-60%)	(14) Penpal 80/1, Winner of 19f claimer on final start in France, but it's hard to make a case for him judged on efforts on this side of the Channel.

2 2nd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Doyannie	5.5/1(+45%)	(7) Doyannie 5.5/1, Off 8 months and posted encouraging fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (20f) on her debut over fences 63 days ago. Should strip fitter now, so she's no forlorn hope.
3 3rd (6) (7/1 -17%) Eros	7/1(-17%)	(6) Eros 7/1, Yet to score, but he arrives in good nick, third of 12 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f) 18 days ago when faring best of those ridden prominently. Merits consideration off 2 lb lower mark.
4 4th (17) (22/1 +12%) Treacys Jim	22/1(+12%)	(17) Treacys Jim 22/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap chase (22/1) at Taunton (23f, soft) 8 days ago.
5th 5th (5) (6/1 -33%) Tudors Treasure	6/1(-33%)	(5) Tudors Treasure 6/1, 3-time C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when third of 6 in handicap chase here 17 days ago. Must enter calculations off a falling mark.
6th 6th (14) (12/1 -20%) Ericas Lad	12/1(-20%)	(14) Ericas Lad 12/1, Course winner in 2019 but very lightly raced since and fell 14th in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, soft) 8 days ago. Has plenty on his plate from 5 lb out of the handicap.
7th 7th (16) (9/1 +25%) Scrumpy Boy	9/1(+25%)	(16) Scrumpy Boy 9/1, 14/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive.
8th 8th (3) (16/1 +52%) You Say Nothing	16/1(+52%)	(3) You Say Nothing 16/1, Fairly useful 17f winner over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell but he's offered little for current yard over fences. Has serious questons to answer at present.
9th 9th (1) (20/1 -67%) Keep Moving	20/1(-67%)	(1) Keep Moving 20/1, Winless since 2019, and tried in cheekpieces when last of 6 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f) 73 days ago. Hard to warm to.

\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -100%) Shintori	20/1(-100%)	(4) Shintori 20/1, Unreliable type. Had wind op before fair fourth in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f), finding less than looked likely. Off 14 months and others are preferred.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (12) (33/1 -65%) What A Baloo	33/1(-65%)	(12) What A Baloo 33/1, Off 9 months since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f). Since had wind op and tongue strap on for his chase debut with others more appealing.

1 1st (1) (0.4/1 +9%) Lady Adare	0.4/1(+9%)	(1) Lady Adare 0.4/1, Made all in a course bumper for Micky Hammond last March and created good impression when following up on Uttoxeter hurdle debut for a new yard 8 months later. Had wind op since. Likely more to come.
2 2nd (2) (125/1 -150%) Bella Bluesky	125/1(-150%)	(2) Bella Bluesky 125/1, Bumper winner last March but has beaten only one home in her 3 outings since, including hurdle debut. Off 6 months. Best watched.
3 3rd (6) (2.75/1 +45%) Martha Willow	2.75/1(+45%)	(6) Martha Willow 2.75/1, Well-bred filly who scored twice in bumpers and made a sound start over hurdles when third of 8 at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Likely improver. Respected.
4 4th (7) (16/1 -45%) Rae Des Champs	16/1(-45%)	(7) Rae Des Champs 16/1, Cost £90,000 after winning Irish point but she was only a modest fourth on her 2m Ayr hurdle debut in November. Should progress but may not see best of her in this sphere until she steps up in trip.
5th 5th (4) (25/1 -25%) Dillarchie	25/1(-25%)	(4) Dillarchie 25/1, Sedgefield bumper winner last March and better form when third of 10 there on Boxing Day. Should have a future over hurdles.
6th 6th (8) (40/1 +0%) Ripplet	40/1(+0%)	(8) Ripplet 40/1, Bumper winner for Hughie Morrison in 2018. Well-held sixth (Rae des Champs fourth) at Ayr on her completed start over hurdles for new yard after an absence. Hooded first time (has raced freely).
7th 7th (10) (10/1 -18%) Poetria	10/1(-18%)	(10) Poetria 10/1, Just modest form at best in bumpers but offered more when third on her Wetherby hurdle debut over Christmas. The first 2 haven't done much for that form since but she should still play a part here.
8th 8th (9) (125/1 -25%) Star Dreamer	125/1(-25%)	(9) Star Dreamer 125/1, Modest maiden on the Fla and no promise in 2 hurdles this winter.

6th 6th (1) (33/1 +0%) Ardenay	33/1(+0%)	(1) Ardenay 33/1, Saint Des Saints gelding. Dam (c113/h125) French 17f/2¼m hurdle winner. Yard only 3-53 in bumpers in last 5 seasons so it's probably best to look elsewhere.
7th 7th (3) (50/1 +0%) Exmoor Forest	50/1(+0%)	(3) Exmoor Forest 50/1, €9,500 Sageburg gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to winning hurdler/smart chaser (17f-2½m winner) Horner Woods. Hooded on debut. Watching brief advised unless betting suggests otherwise.

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.
