Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +64%) Sea Thrift	4 4/1(+64%)	(6) Sea Thrift 4/1, Travelled well but still green and hung, running to form yet outstayed late when a 9½l third in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Effective at around 2½m, may not truly stay 3m, and remains in good form. Placed in a couple of handicaps at Worcester recently but needs a couple to underperform..
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +9%) Dickens	1 1/1(+9%)	(1) Dickens 1/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced but ran to form when second, beaten 13l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective from 2m to 2m6f, suited by decent ground, and looks progressive with a potential class edge down in grade. Has been in fine form since joining this yard in the summer with four wins in handicaps..
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -100%) Liberty Flame	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Liberty Flame 20/1, Outpaced and produced a poor effort back over hurdles when well beaten in a 2m handicap hurdle at Perth last time. Effective at 2m on good ground but appears regressive in both codes. Has been struggling on the Flat during the summer well held at Perth nine days ago..
4	2 4th (2) (15/8 -36%) Mohawk Chief	1.875 15/8(-36%)	(2) Mohawk Chief 15/8, Stepped up in trip and may not have stayed when comfortably held in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Had been in good form prior; effective from 2m to 2½m on a sound surface and could bounce back now dropped in grade and trip. Won maiden in July and novice in August but form has dipped on last two starts..
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (28/1 -12%) Maxfly D'agrostis	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Maxfly D'agrostis 28/1, Outpaced and showed little on debut when comfortably held in a 2m bumper here last time; has plenty to find. Last of six on rules debut in bumper here 24 days ago; hurdles debut..

Although unable to capitalise since scoring in a selling handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in September, DICKENS has performed with credit on both runner-up efforts at Sedgefield since. The seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal reverting to selling company and a sixth victory over hurdles may beckon. Mohawk Chief would prove a live threat if recapturing his best form and cannot be dismissed, while Sea Thrift may fare best of the remainder.

This looks to be another good opportunity for DICKENS who has been in fine form since joining this yard. Mohawk Chief is the danger.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/1 -20%) Time For Action	9 9/1(-20%)	(9) Time For Action 9/1, Well beaten by the winner but still better when second beaten 8 1/2l in a nursery here last time; suited by 8f, acts on soft; needs more off this mark. Beaten about 8l by the winner here last time and she's off the same mark.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +50%) Suggy	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(6) Suggy 11/2, Too keen but still showed improvement for the longer trip when well beaten in a maiden at Newmarket last time; wide draw; bred to be effective around 8f; potential improver now handicapping. Hasn't shown much at all (6f-1m) but could raise his profile now handicapping.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +50%) Zipwire	9 9/1(+50%)	(2) Zipwire 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a nursery at Lingfield on the all-weather last time; off a short break; effective 6-8f, acts on firm; down in the weights but has something to prove on soft. Handicap runs (well held) were two days apart and could be better for a break.
4	7 4th (7) (9/4 +32%) Takeitorleaveit	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(7) Takeitorleaveit 9/4, Improved over this C&D when switched to handicaps in new cheekpieces, winning by a neck off 53 here last time; suited by 8f, acts on soft; looks capable of another good effort after a small rise. Justified confidence on nursery debut here and a 3lb rise could be manageable.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 -122%) Thisonesforyou	5 5/1(-122%)	(4) Thisonesforyou 5/1, Improved when switched to handicaps, landing one by 3/4l off 58 at Leicester last time; trainer in form; suited by 8f, acts on good; big, strong colt with scope for further progress. Up 6lb for narrow Leicester win (1m) but the front two did pull clear; unraced on soft.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +0%) Gullane Girl	18 18/1(+0%)	(8) Gullane Girl 18/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off 54 at Salisbury in August; below form since; visor on for the first time; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft; has enough to prove on recent form. Did win in first-time blinkers so could stage a revival in another change of headgear.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 -38%) Betty Lemon	9 9/1(-38%)	(5) Betty Lemon 9/1, Bit below form when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Brighton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good; likely to appreciate further but more chance now handicapping. Didn't enjoy clearest of runs when beaten about 8l last time at Brighton; nursery debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -113%) Emerald Coast	16 16/1(-113%)	(1) Emerald Coast 16/1, Below form when well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Chester on slower ground last time; effective over nearly 8f, acts on good to firm; longer trips in nurseries could bring improvement. Easily her best run was the first; bit to prove on a few counts on this nursery debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (6/1 +20%) Corduroy	6 6/1(+20%)	(3) Corduroy 6/1, Below form and always behind in a maiden at Kempton most recently; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; bred to stay, acts on soft; could improve now handicapping in first-time tongue-tie. Poor so far but a well-bred colt who is now fitted with a tongue-tie; possible improver.

TAKEITORLEAVEIT showed a big chunk of improvement after being gelded and sporting first-time cheekpieces to score on nursery debut at Brighton last month. Jonathan Portman's juvenile could have more to offer and can defy his 3lb rise. Thisonesforyou boasts a similar profile after striking off an opening rating of 58 at Leicester earlier this month and commands respect. Betty Lemon makes her nursery bow and warrants a market check.

The filly BETTY LEMON ran better last time than the bare result may imply and she rates a likely improver now sent into nurseries.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 -306%) Cueros	2.5 5/2(-306%)	(1) Cueros 5/2, Ran to form when winning a handicap at Les Landes over 9f by a neck last time. Off a short break and looks the pick on balance of form. Multiple Flat winner in Jersey; an interesting hurdling recruit for progressive yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/4 +71%) Marhaba The Champ	1.75 7/4(+71%)	(3) Marhaba The Champ 7/4, Keen and very green when fourth beaten 24l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Hereford last time. Usually held up, suited by fast ground and effective at 12f; could leave debut form behind based on useful Flat form. Useful Flat performer for Kevin Ryan but last on hurdles debut at Hereford 17 days ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (85/40 +82%) Kids Say Lastgojoe	2.125 85/40(+82%)	(2) Kids Say Lastgojoe 85/40, Outpaced and wanted further when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Hexham last time. A 2m bumper winner who may prefer a longer trip over hurdles and is yet to match bumper form, likely one for handicaps. Bumper winner at Catterick last November but beaten on all three hurdles starts.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -108%) Crimson Road	25 25/1(-108%)	(6) Crimson Road 25/1, Keen and pulled his way to the front, making his move too soon when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time. Trainer in form; sound surface suits. A dual Flat winner at 10f but stamina to prove over hurdles. Raced too freely when well beaten in his two runs over hurdles.
5th	5 5th (5) (28/1 +0%) Apache Eagle	28 28/1(+0%)	(5) Apache Eagle 28/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap over 2m at Catterick last time. Has plenty to find. Well beaten on first start for new yard and plenty to prove on his jumps debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (66/1 -100%) De Deli Counter	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) De Deli Counter 66/1, Green and made mistakes on a modest debut when 63l fourth in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Wetherby first time out. All to prove. Tailed off when last of four on hurdles debut at Wetherby 15 days ago; best watched.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +36%) Masterminding	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Masterminding 16/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m at Kelso last time. Yet to show much over hurdles. Maiden on Flat and well beaten at huge odds on all four hurdles starts.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 0%) L'insurge	50 50/1(0%)	(8) L'insurge 50/1, Continued in poor form when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Kelso last time. Likely to need further and up against it on recent runs. Not completely disgraced in two spring bumpers but well beaten in two spins over hurdles.
9	9 \|U\| (9) (14/1 -250%) Crazy About Her	14 14/1(-250%)	(9) Crazy About Her 14/1, Keen and improved on bumper form when second beaten 13l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow last time. This is her second run after wind surgery and she has a bit to find. Promising hurdles debut when second of four at Chepstow in April.

Although he finished last on his hurdles bow at Hereford earlier this month, Marhaba The Champ should be all the more wiser for that experience. However, CUEROS has been in fantastic heart on the Flat in Jersey during the summer and he's unlikely to be making up the numbers on this long journey north. Harry Derham's five-year-old may take some stopping if taking to timber and makes most appeal. Kids Say Lastgojoe may fare best of the remainder.

The best hurdles form has been shown by Crazy About Her and she rates as the main danger to multiple Jersey Flat winner CUEROS.

1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +64%) A Path To Ronda	1 1/1(+64%)	(1) A Path To Ronda 1/1, Improved when finishing fourth, beaten 9 1/2l, in a Listed Mares' NH Flat Race over 2m at Sandown last time; the pick on balance of form. Bumper winner and she's a half-sister to some smart jumpers; interesting on hurdling debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 -11%) Followango	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Followango 5/1, Well backed but below form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase over 2m at Ffos Las last time; looked in need of further and rates the pick on race times. 0-10 over hurdles but sets fair standard on her best form and she's respected on return.
3	2 3rd (2) (20/1 -67%) Broadway Honey	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Broadway Honey 20/1, Green on debut and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time; acts on good ground and may prefer a trip slightly beyond 2m. Tailed off in sole bumper and well held on hurdling debut; now switches to a staying trip.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (3/1 -71%) First Candidate	3 3/1(-71%)	(3) First Candidate 3/1, Produced a very promising effort when winning a maiden at Lisronagh over 3m by 2 1/2l last time; absent for a very lengthy period but has a minor chance. Irish point winner and she needs a close look on hurdling debut for Dan Skelton.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (5/1 +0%) Kilworth	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Kilworth 5/1, Made a promising bumper debut, looking in need of a stiffer test when beaten 7 1/4l in a Mares' bumper over 2m2f at Tipperary last time; trainer in form and holds an outside chance. Point winner; changed hands for £22,000 and needs watching in market on hurdling debut.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (80/1 -142%) On Top Of The Moon	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) On Top Of The Moon 80/1, Found nothing on a poor debut when well beaten in a Mares' bumper over 2m at Uttoxeter on her only start; all to do. Tailed off in sole bumper and is best watched on hurdling/stable debut.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 -60%) Warrioress	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Warrioress 16/1, Promising effort when runner-up, beaten 6l, in a maiden over 3m at Carrigarostig on her only start; returning from a long layoff and more needed. Bought for £30,000 after runner-up in an Irish point; market should guide on rules debut.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (300/1 -355%) Nannymooresbridge	300 300/1(-355%)	(8) Nannymooresbridge 300/1, Went clear but did too much too soon and was comfortably held in a Mares' bumper over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time; all to do. Finished a tailed-off last in both bumpers and can only be watched on hurdling debut.

Followango looked to find 2m too sharp on her return to chasing at Ffos Las in April and she should put her experiences over obstacles to good use. Evan Williams' mare isn't without a chance reverting to a maiden hurdle, but Rules-debutant FIRST CANDIDATE may prove too strong. Dan Skelton's mare ran out a ready winner on her first completed start between the flags in Ireland and market support would increase confidence. A Path To Ronda is also of interest.

Bumper winner A PATH TO RONDA is a half-sister to some smart jumpers and she gets the vote on this switch to hurdling.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +0%) Arc Ole Ole	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Arc Ole Ole 3/1, Fair debut in a decent novice when beaten 7l at Newmarket; bred to stay 1m4f or further and expected to improve on that initial effort. Considered. Competitive for a long way last week at Newmarket (1m, good) and his RPR was respectable.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +50%) Heroics	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) Heroics 4/1, Fair debut, staying on late from off the pace when 3 1/2l fourth in a novice here first time out; effective at 8f and bred for further; normal progress should see him go close. Slowly away and inexperienced before keeping on for an encouraging fourth here 21 days ago.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -155%) Alkumatic Jo Jo	14 14/1(-155%)	(6) Alkumatic Jo Jo 14/1, Backed up debut effort when upped in trip and finishing fourth beaten 3l in a Kempton maiden last time; off a short break; turf debut and may prove vulnerable. Beaten under 3l in 7f/1m maidens on the Kempton AW in August.
4	10 4th (10) (16/1 +52%) Mohaab	16 16/1(+52%)	(10) Mohaab 16/1, Below form when down the field in a novice at Kempton last time; effective at 7/8f; well exposed compared to these rivals. Six-race maiden who has already come up short in two nurseries; others preferred.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +55%) Solar Phoenix	5 5/1(+55%)	(5) Solar Phoenix 5/1, Fair debut when beaten 4l in a novice here, shaping as though needing the run; effective at 8f; likely to improve but needs to get off the mark. Ran similar race to fourth-placed Heroics when both were behind Pantile's Gift here.
6th	9 6th (9) (18/1 -125%) Kokoluna	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Kokoluna 18/1, 18 Mar; Ulysses filly; half-sister to Sagittarius, useful at 5f; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; probably best watched on debut. Half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Sagittarius (RPR 77); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (74).
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -200%) Head Girl	66 66/1(-200%)	(8) Head Girl 66/1, Improved on a modest debut when beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here last time; bred to be effective over 1m4f; likely to do better once handicapping. Showed more here last time but was still well held and appeals as one for nurseries.
8th	4 8th (4) (4/1 0%) Pantile's Gift	4 4/1(0%)	(4) Pantile's Gift 4/1, Improved effort when ridden from the front up in trip, finishing second beaten a head in a novice here last time; effective at 7/8f; improving but may have better prospects in handicaps. Heading firmly in the right direction and nearly made all over C&D (good to soft).
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -136%) Blue Celestial	33 33/1(-136%)	(7) Blue Celestial 33/1, 6 Mar; Advertise filly; half-sister to Blue Eclipse, fair at 7f; dam fair at 8f; yard has had decent season with 2yo's. Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Blue Eclipse (7f; RPR 73) and Kefaan (KSA 6f).
10th	2 10th (2) (66/1 -164%) Helios Path	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Helios Path 66/1, 22 Apr; 4,000gns breeze-up purchase by Coulsty; half-brother to Ballycommon, very useful at 7f; dam fair at 8f. 4,000gns 2yo breeze-up; 11th foal; Coulsty half-brother to four winners.
11th	11 11th (11) (11/1 -144%) Yorkies Dream	11 11/1(-144%)	(11) Yorkies Dream 11/1, Fair debut wearing a hood when third beaten 3 1/2l in a novice over 7f at Redcar; effective at 7f and acts on good to soft; should improve upped in trip though more is needed. Made a nice debut when also hooded at Redcar (7f, good to soft), finishing well for third.

Pantile's Gift has improved with each of his three appearances and his most recent third here gives him every chance. However, YORKIES DREAM outran her odds of 22/1 on debut to finish third at Redcar at the start of the month and is likely to take a step forward from that display. The Easterbys' filly looks to have found a suitable opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Solar Phoenix is another to keep an eye on.

Pantile's Gift nearly made all here three weeks ago but HEROICS and Solar Phoenix were eyecatchers in behind.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +0%) Kotkito Bello	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Kotkito Bello 4/1, Ran to form when 3l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Punchestown on his latest start. Needs to find more to feature here. Point-to-point form was modest, better judged on his respectable handicap hurdle form.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 -20%) Stoneyford Lady	3 3/1(-20%)	(9) Stoneyford Lady 3/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5½l, in a 2m handicap hurdle at Tramore last time. A potential threat who may stay slightly further. In the frame on two most recent handicap hurdle starts, half-sister to Captain Guinness.
3	1 3rd (1) (22/1 -38%) Figurehead	22 22/1(-38%)	(1) Figurehead 22/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when comfortably held in a beginners chase over 2m4f at Tramore last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, but may not stay further. No wins in 40 starts, second on second chase start, held by Menas Miracle on Tramore run.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -17%) Quinn The Eskimo	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Quinn The Eskimo 14/1, Flattened out after a late mistake and ran a bit below form when comfortably held in a 2m handicap hurdle at Roscommon last time. Plenty more required. Handicap hurdle win at Down Royal was achieved off a modest mark, others preferred.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +0%) Menas Miracle	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(6) Menas Miracle 9/2, Improved up in trip on chase debut and would have gone close but for hitting the last and being hampered late when second, beaten 2l, in a beginners chase over 2m4f at Tramore. Effective 2-2½m; more to come over fences. Point/hurdle winner, holds a leading chance now after second on chasing debut at Tramore.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -17%) Auntie Lacey	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) Auntie Lacey 14/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip on handicap debut when well beaten in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Wexford. Returns from a short break and could improve for a longer trip. Point winner, maiden over hurdles but rated 3lb higher than stablemate Quinn The Eskimo.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/2 +31%) Mount Shenshan	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(8) Mount Shenshan 11/2, Keen but returned to form when 8l third in a beginners chase over 2m4f at Tramore after a break, jumping much better. Trainer in form; effective at 2½m with cut and may build on that effort. Three failures to complete over fences before Tramore third, 6l behind Menas Miracle then.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -10%) Milanaway	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Milanaway 22/1, All but fell mid-race and found little when finishing down the field in a 2m7f handicap hurdle here last time. Needs to improve. Well-exposed maiden hurdler, often placed, others have better credentials on hurdles form.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 -60%) Whiskey Serenade	12 12/1(-60%)	(10) Whiskey Serenade 12/1, Made mistakes and ran a bit below form on quick reappearance when comfortably held in a 2m5f beginners chase at Sligo. Effective between 2m and 2m5f on good ground; more to come over fences judged on point form. Took her six attempts to win a maiden point, others have stronger claims on hurdles form.
10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 -10%) Game Phoenix	11 11/1(-10%)	(11) Game Phoenix 11/1, Offered no obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a 10f handicap at Navan last time. Had been in good form previously but has a bit to find here. Fit from Flat action, has shown a fair standard over hurdles, gets useful weight allowance.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 -17%) Laurie Blue	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Laurie Blue 14/1, Outpaced and outclassed on chase return when comfortably held in the Kilbegnet Novice Chase (Grade 3) over 2m1f at Roscommon. Effective between 2m and 2m2f, suited by a sound surface. Completely out of her depth in a Grade 3 novice chase last time, could be competitive here.

MENAS MIRACLE was inconvenienced by a loose horse at Tramore on her latest start, but still finished a gallant second on what was her track debut over fences. The winner of a point-to-point and hurdle, she should be up to taking a contest of this standard. A half-sister to Captain Guinness, Stoneyford Lady starts off over the larger obstacles and is sure to have plenty of supporters after filling the runner-up spot on her latest start. Placed on two of his last three outings, Kotkito Bello warrants the utmost respect, while others for the shortlist are Mount Shenshan and Figurehead, who were both behind the selection at Tramore.

Like her rivals, STONEYFORD LADY has merely ordinary hurdles form, but she is a half-sister to Captain Guinness and may take to chasing

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +32%) Sir Carnegie	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(4) Sir Carnegie 9/4, Improved when stepped up in trip, beaten a length off 86 over 3m2f at Sedgefield last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and appears to be running into form for his new yard. Improved on his debut run over fences when clear second at Sedgefield last time; contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 -127%) Couldbeaweapon	2.5 5/2(-127%)	(3) Couldbeaweapon 5/2, Improved again, though a bit fortunate due to a late faller, when landing a handicap by 17l off 88 over 2m5f at Sedgefield last time. Trainer in form. Best around 2½m, handles soft and good ground, and could be slightly flattered by that latest win. Escapes a penalty for possibly fortunate chase win last time; 10lb well in; contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -50%) Luminaries	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) Luminaries 12/1, Up in trip and possibly not stay when 40l third in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Sedgefield on latest run. Wears a visor for the first time and is usually held up. Effective from 2½m to 3m, yet to fire over fences but goes well at Newcastle. Four-time hurdles winner; hasn't achieved much in two runs over fences; new headgear.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 +45%) Radharc Na Slaine	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(5) Radharc Na Slaine 11/4, Scored by a neck off 72 at Stratford on his penultimate start, then ran to form when fifth beaten 6l off 77 last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m, suited by a sound surface, and remains in good form. Off the mark over fences at Stratford two runs back; fair run last time and should go well.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -17%) Clearisthewater	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Clearisthewater 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Hereford last time. Tongue-tie fitted for the first time. Effective at 2m but yet to convince with stamina for further. Point winner who hasn't built on a promising hurdles debut. Point winner; pulled up on chase debut (made respiratory noise) and tongue-tie now tried.

Returns from a short break and remains an exposed maiden. 0-19; three good runs at Hexham this term (4th over 3m latest); may find a couple too good.

The hat-trick seeking Couldbeaweapon merits respect, although he's likely to be priced accordingly given that he's 10lb well-in for his latest romp at Sedgefield. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing RADHARC NA SLAINE, who looked to find 2m4f too sharp on his fifth-placed effort at Worcester last time out. Sir Carnegie arrives here in decent heart and is still open to improvement over fences.

Despite the claims of Couldbeweapon, who is 10lb well in, preference is for SIR CARNEGIE, who has conditions to suit.

WANDERING EGO may not have shown much on his hurdling bow at Perth, but he looked good when scoring easily in a bumper at Worcester and improvement can be expected on his second start in this sphere. A relatively promising third, despite being beaten a long way on his Rules debut at Fontwell, Park Talk is entitled to be thereabouts, as well as French recruit Brace For Landing.

There are some promising sorts on show here and the pick of them may be WANDERING EGO. The main danger is Brace For Landing.

DANCING TIGER failed to supplement his Goodwood triumph when third at Sandown last month, but that was still a fair effort. Off an unchanged rating, the son of Starspangledbanner looks the one to beat. Platinum Prince finished two lengths in second behind the selection in that Goodwood contest and is now 4lb better off, so he may get closer on this occasion. Last-time-out Brighton scorer Shalfa can fight it out for the minor honours.

Back in grade after not running at all badly at Sandown, DANCING TIGER (nap) might be able to regain the winning thread.

No worse than fifth in his last nine outings, A NOD TO GETAWAY should run another solid race in this competitive affair. Successful at Killarney on his penultimate start, he finished third when last seen at Listowel, and had two subsequent winners behind. Up to a career high mark of 102, the Paul O'Flynn-trained eight-year-old will be ably assisted by Darragh O'Keeffe. The winner of a weak four-runner contest at Cork earlier this month, Kazakh D'arthel will be well-fancied to follow-up, while Howya Luveen and Finnians Row are other leading hopes. The only course winner in the line-up, Willywampus is another that warrants respect.

Having got over his jumping frailties to win at Cork last time, albeit it wasn't a strong race, KAZAKH D'ARTHEL could build on that.

Having returned to form with a good second at Sedgefield last month, BALRANALD looks ready to defend his crown. The nine-year-old dug deep to land the spoils in last year's edition here and has plenty going for him off the same mark. National Question was second that day and merits consideration with Charlie Maggs claiming a handy 5lb, while Cawthorne Cracker and Platenium are also of interest reverting to timber.

Following a sound run after a break, BALRANALD (nap) is taken to win this for the second year in a row. Gemini Man is next best.

A Listed bumper winner at Cheltenham in January, PRECIOUS METAL looks like a nice prospect for the Henrietta Knight stable and he can strike on his debut over hurdles. Making his first start under Rules after a point-to-point success in February, Taurus Bay is a key player for strong connections, along with Quaviste, who has undergone wind surgery since disappointing in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree.

Third on handicap debut but in early April and has changed yards during her time out.

Turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty after a taking success over C&D last week, BOBBY DASSLER can follow up with Callum Hutchinson taking over in the saddle. Gone Rogue must enter calculations after a comfortable win at Brighton earlier in the month, along with Lovely Jubly, who got off the mark over track and trip last week. Others to note include Equion, Foreseen and Lhebayeb.

Cases can be made for a few of these. EQUION ran better last time at Nottingham, will love the ground and he's well handicapped.

Stable outsider when ran well on chase debut, getting on in years but not much mileage.

Second to a well-handicapped horse at Punchestown, again runner-up at Galway on Sunday.
3	10 3rd (10) (17/2 -6%) Stily	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(10) Stily 17/2, Improved from debut but taken on up front and did too much too soon when third, beaten 9¼l, in a 2m2f Galway handicap chase last time; may prefer a bit further than 2m. Only six finishers when third at Glway, he will need to raise his game to win here.
4	14 4th (14) (33/1 +0%) Game And Glory	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Game And Glory 33/1, Pulled up in a 3m Downpatrick handicap chase last time; effective around 2½m but has regressed over fences. Has been pulled up in five of her last seven races, the outlook is bleak at this stage.

Improved over hurdles from a modest base, can feature off this mark if jumping adequately.
7th	13 7th (13) (25/1 +24%) Futurum Regem	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Futurum Regem 25/1, Ran poorly on Flat return when down the field in a 1m6f Navan handicap most recently; well treated on 3m hurdle form but currently out of sorts. Flat/hurdles winner, unplaced in five consecutive handicap chase outings since July.

Fair form over fences in July for the late Edward O'Grady, more recent signs less hopeful.
10th	16 10th (16) (25/1 +24%) Greenway Machine	25 25/1(+24%)	(16) Greenway Machine 25/1, Ran to form when 29l third in a 3m Downpatrick handicap chase last time; effective between 2½m and 3m but exposed as a modest performer. Veteran showed there was still plenty of life in him last year, struggling this year.
11th	19 11th (19) (33/1 +18%) Robin Elite	33 33/1(+18%)	(19) Robin Elite 33/1, Made too much use of and needed the run when well beaten in a Clonmel handicap chase last time; 3m point winner but yet to show form under rules. Third reserve, point winner, no merit in three handicap chase attempts this season.
12th	15 12th (15) (7/1 -75%) Tennesse Boy	7 7/1(-75%)	(15) Tennesse Boy 7/1, Improved from debut when beaten 1/2l off 72 over 3m2f at Sligo last time; wears a hood first time; effective over 3m and needs to build on that effort. Beaten 1/2l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo a month ago, hood added, should go close.
13th	4 13th (4) (7/1 -17%) Due Course	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Due Course 7/1, Hampered late but returned to form down in trip in first-time blinkers when beaten 2l off 97 at Sligo last time; best around 2½m and appreciates decent ground. Second to The Striker Dylan at Sligo after some interference, should be in the mix again.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 +24%) Diamonds Diva	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) Diamonds Diva 25/1, Given too much to do and never put into the race when beaten 8l in a 2m7f Thurles handicap hurdle last time; stays 2m6f and open to marked improvement. Recent handicap hurdle run represented a small step in the right direction, more needed.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (50/1 -100%) Fr Gilligansvoyge	50 50/1(-100%)	(17) Fr Gilligansvoyge 50/1, Outclassed when comfortably held in the BetVictor Chase (Grade 3) over 2m7f at Punchestown last time; exposed as a poor performer.

7	7 \|PU\| (7) (50/1 -52%) On The Tide	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) On The Tide 50/1, Stepped up in trip but may not have stayed when comfortably held in a 3m Downpatrick handicap chase last time; effective around 2½m and handles ease in the ground though inconsistent of late. Behind on seasonal return at Listowel, completely tailed off at Downpatrick, up against it.

Now racing off level weights, DUE COURSE might be able to reverse Sligo form with The Striker Dylan. Just a length-and-three-quarters separated them at the Cleveragh circuit and there is again likely to be little between the pair here. Set for a quick turnaround after finishing second at Galway on Sunday, Smallcraftwarning is sure to have plenty of supporters, while River Vale, Stily, Tennessee Boy and Lady Rose Hackett are other leading hopes in this competitive affair. Twice successful over flights at Clonmel in the spring, it'll be interesting to see how Volez Vous fares on her first try over fences.

John Ryan's horses often react well to frequent racing and SMALLCRAFTWARNING may step up a place after Sunday's second at Galway.

SECRET TRIX was only beaten a nose at Worcester prior to unseating when odds-on at Wetherby earlier this month, but he sets the standard with an official rating of 130. With a clear round, he could prove hard to beat. Chasingouttheblues showed ability on his chasing bow when third at Hexham and with that experience under his belt, the son of Sea Moon could have a say. Maghlaak can beat You Some Girl home for third.

Olly Murphy's SECRET TRIX is the clear pick on official marks and should be hard to beat if he can put in a clear round.

The Skelton team landed this contest in 2024, and they can do so once more with chase debutant BE AWARE, who was placed in valuable handicap handicap hurdles at Ascot and Cheltenham last season. Range didn't show much after scoring at Chepstow last November, but softer ground should help on his return to action. Cerendipity and Grandeur D'ame are capable sorts on their day.

Grandeur d'Ame has a very good record when fresh but RANGE may seize the chance to dominate from the front.

This looks a good opportunity for FOUND A DIAMOND. The five-year-old finished with a flourish when a never-nearer second at Cork recently and should appreciate this step up in trip. Fourth on his racecourse debut at Listowel, point-to-point winner Rebel Budz warrants the utmost respect with Darragh O'Keeffe aboard, while Denis Hogan's Wartime Leader and Punchestown third The Goose's Acre are other leading hopes. A first runner under National Hunt rules for Natalia Lupini, it'll be interesting to see how Chisum fares, with this chestnut five-year-old not beaten far when last seen at Downpatrick in July.

A running on second at Cork over 2m4f last time, FOUND A DIAMOND can go one better over a trip that should suit.

3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -50%) Fairlawn Skipper	5 5/1(-50%)	(6) Fairlawn Skipper 5/1, Ran to form but probably did a bit too much too soon when 6l third in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Ffos Las on latest run. Effective between 2m and 3m, suited by a sound surface, and looks fairly treated on opening mark. Unexposed 5yo who should appreciate the step back up in distance for handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +20%) Galata Bridge	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Galata Bridge 8/1, Keen early, stopped quickly and finished lame when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on good ground. Four-time winner over hurdles but inconsistency has crept in; others safer.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 +8%) Belvedere Blast	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Belvedere Blast 11/2, Won by 3/4l off 112 over 2m7f at Market Rasen on his penultimate start. Made too much use of him when sixth, beaten 12l off 115 last time. A strong stayer who ideally wants 3m and is generally consistent. Perhaps needs further than the 2m4f he ran over last time; not ruled out.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 -64%) Kilmore Rock	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Kilmore Rock 9/1, Pulled up in a 3m2f handicap chase at Kelso last time; the trainer is in good form. Enjoys making the running and appears progressive. Has got himself high in the weights and that latest third in this discipline was remote.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (16/1 +11%) The Longest Day	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) The Longest Day 16/1, Ran a bit below form when fourth, beaten 13l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective from 2m2f to 3m but inconsistent overall. Fair runs back from a long absence but being 8lb out of the weights is not ideal.

HOSTILE HOTELIER was turned over at odds-on when runner-up over fences at Sedgefield, but a switch to timber may see him back in the winner's enclosure. The seven-year-old shouldn't be inconvenienced reverting to an extended 2m7f and he shades the vote over Do No Wrong, who returned to form with a respectable second over the larger obstacles at Southwell and sits on an attractive mark over hurdles. Handicap debutant Fairlawn Skipper is a potential improver.

Although a bit disappointing last time, FAIRLAWN SKIPPER should appreciate this return to further for his handicap debut.

MOTAZZEN ran well on his return to hurdling at Fontwell earlier in the month and has to be noted, despite a 1lb rise. Soldier's Leap showed promise when a close third on his first start since a wind op at Huntingdon in February and he has to be noted on his return, while the unexposed Shareyourbiscuits is the pick of the remainder.

This can go to MOTAZZEN (nap), who made very good progress last season and probably took another step forward when second this month.

Now that the penny has dropped for CAMELEY DAYS after a determined success at Yarmouth last week, she can follow up under a 6lb penalty. Not beaten too far over further at Brighton most recently, Bated Breeze is capable of being in the shake-up, as well as Mister Sandman, who should be monitored for market support on his first run for connections that have been in fine form of late.

Preference is for CAMELEY DAYS, who made the breakthrough at Yarmouth last week and is a big player again under a penalty.

Made all to win at Galway last time; 9lb higher but has to be on the shortlist again.

KILASHEE registered an eighth career success when dominating from the front at Galway earlier this month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow up. The admirable 10-year-old was second on her penultimate start at Roscommon and is clearly in good spirits. The one to beat on ratings, Carried With Love is an obvious danger. Third and not beaten far on recent outings at Ballinrobe and Killarney, she'll be ridden by Eoin Staples who claims a valuable 7lb. Disappointing when last seen at Roscommon, Birmingham Alabama is capable of making her presence felt, while others for the shortlist in this open contest are Tir Og, Killinure Lass and handicap debutant Our Girl Ellie.

IMPERIAL MISS was just denied over 2m6f at Galway last time and could get off the mark down in trip

Having jumped out to his left at Ludlow 22 days ago, Whizz Kid should be much happier reverting to a left-handed track. The nine-year-old merits strong consideration in this small-field affair, but HALF SHOT is a touch more compelling. Iain Jardine's charge arrives on the back of a fair third at Kelso and a 2lb drop in the ratings may prove fruitful. C&D winner Arthur's Quay is the pick of the rest.

The tentative choice is CRACKING DESTINY, although he hasn't been at his best recently. Whizz Kid is another who should go well.

Having hit the frame on his last two outings at Market Rasen, chase/seasonal debutant JOINING FORCE looks to be on a workable opening mark. Fergal O'Brien's charge wasn't disgraced in two outings between the flags and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to open his account. A 6lb rise in the ratings for Faitque De L'Isle's victory at Uttoxeter earlier this month shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid and he's feared most, ahead of Another Folly.

On a good mark and very unexposed over today's trip, ONEWAYORTOTHER is selected to open his account over fences.

Won four races in France but quiet in four British runs since returning from an absence.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 -85%) Voodoo Ray	12 12/1(-85%)	(10) Voodoo Ray 12/1, Again below form when beaten 10l in a handicap at Brighton last time. Enjoys making the running. Effective at 6f or 7f and suited by a sound surface. Regressive and ground a concern. Four of his five wins have been at Brighton with the other here; this year's form worrying.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 +36%) Rock N It	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Rock N It 9/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when beaten 7l in a handicap at Nottingham last time. Wide draw. Effective at 5f or 6f, acts on heavy and sound ground. Dropped in the weights and back on softer going. Seven-race maiden who was well behind Tommytwohoots last time at Nottingham.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 +0%) Mary Of Modena	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Mary Of Modena 18/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 5f or 6f on soft and good ground but poor in her last two starts. Six-time winner but out of sorts on last three starts; needs to get back on track.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 -14%) Autumn Festival	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Autumn Festival 4/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when down the field in a 7f handicap at Brighton last time. Enjoys making the running. Wide draw. Effective from 6f to 8f and acts on any ground. Dropped in the weights and could be a chance if bouncing back. Multiple winner over 7f-1m; placed over C&D before but performed poorly the last twice.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/1 -110%) Tommytwohoots	7 7/1(-110%)	(8) Tommytwohoots 7/1, Well placed and ran to form when beaten a length off 46 at Nottingham last time. Suited by 6f and acts on an easy surface or all-weather. Generally poor overall but conditions are suitable. Heavy-ground winner; back to form when a close fourth at Nottingham recently.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -122%) Hardlass	40 40/1(-122%)	(9) Hardlass 40/1, Stopped quickly and again below form when down the field in a handicap here last time. Tongue-tie applied for the first time. Seems best at 5f and acts on a sound surface; may bounce back over the minimum trip. Remains a maiden and was beaten a long way over C&D latest; tongue-tie now tried.
10th	4 10th (4) (6/1 +67%) World Of Darcy	6 6/1(+67%)	(4) World Of Darcy 6/1, Raced in a small group and ran below form when down the field in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Best suited by 6f with some cut in the ground but remains badly out of form. Goes on soft and should be well handicapped but very much in the doldrums currently.

ROMAN SPRING was beaten four lengths into second at Brighton earlier this month and goes off an unchanged rating. With Ryan Kavanagh claiming a handy 5lb, he could be the one to beat. Up The Anti produced a pair of runner-up efforts prior to her disappointing eighth at Nottingham, so she might be worth another chance. Of the remainder, Autumn Festival makes the most appeal.

With no concerns about the ground and having returned to form with a close fourth last time at Nottingham, TOMMYTWOHOOTS appeals most.

Now 0-16 over hurdles, not a lost cause on the evidence of recent C&D third placing.
2	11 2nd (11) (13/2 +35%) Getaway Henry	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(11) Getaway Henry 13/2, Ran to form on a quick return when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here last time; blinkers on first time; effective at 2m and needs a sound surface. Finished behind Midnight Eagle and Destivelle here last time, not beaten far, blinkers now.

Mixed form since Cork win in August, behind Midnight Eagle and Destivelle over C&D latest.

5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +13%) Inchiquin Maid	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(7) Inchiquin Maid 7/2, Ran to form when just outbattled late by a race-fit rival, beaten 3l off 88 at Listowel; effective at 2m, suited by a sound surface, and fairly treated with consistent form under both codes. Has strong claims in this grade following a fine effort on seasonal/yard debut at Listowel.
6th	13 6th (13) (16/1 -14%) Nusra	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) Nusra 16/1, Made too much use of early and failed to get home when well beaten in a 2m1f Tipperary handicap hurdle; not without a chance if ridden with more restraint. Three-time Flat winner, two decent handicap hurdle runs in April imply a definite chance.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -100%) Struck Oil	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Struck Oil 28/1, Outpaced and hampered before never threatening when down the field in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle; effective at 2m with cut and could progress for top yard but needs more to defy this mark. Big price on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, well held by The Border Boy on that running.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 -13%) I Feel Fine	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) I Feel Fine 18/1, Needed the run when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Navan; effective at 2m, acts on any going, and can improve when stepped up in trip. Soundly beaten in three maidens, showed enough to suggest he could be competitive now.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/2 +42%) Midnight Eagle	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(3) Midnight Eagle 7/2, Returned to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle here last time; trainer in form; effective between 2m and 2½m but inconsistent. In front of shorter-priced rivals Destivelle and Getaway Henry over C&D, each-way chance.
14	14 \|B\| (14) (9/1 +55%) Boston Bobby	9 9/1(+55%)	(14) Boston Bobby 9/1, Pulled up in a 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle last time; usually held up and effective around 2m. Returned from a long layoff with a pleasing run at Listowel, pulled up since at Killarney.
20	20 \|S\| (20) (16/1 +0%) Bay Brook	16 16/1(+0%)	(20) Bay Brook 16/1, Travelled well for a time but found little when well beaten in a 2m3f Cork handicap hurdle; effective at 2m on yielding or good ground but struggling in handicaps. Second reserve, one promising maiden hurdle run as a juvenile, has failed to build on that.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 -186%) Friar Hogan	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Friar Hogan 40/1, Showed slight improvement but tired late when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Tipperary; drop back to 2m should suit though has plenty to find. Ordinary form in maidens, does not seem well handicapped but in good hands, may improve.
11th	8 11th (8) (25/1 -56%) Dalmatic	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Dalmatic 25/1, May not have stayed when well beaten in a 3m handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time. Best form has been in races over 2m3f at Naas and 3m at Clonmel, this may be too short.
12th	6 12th (6) (20/1 -150%) Tudorista	20 20/1(-150%)	(6) Tudorista 20/1, A bit free and never put into the race when down the field in a 2m2f Downpatrick maiden hurdle; effective at 2m on good ground and had been progressing before that effort. Fourth in two of her three maiden hurdle starts, every chance she can be competitive here.
13th	9 13th (9) (40/1 +20%) Park Rules	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Park Rules 40/1, Never put into the race but saw out the trip when down the field in a 2m6f Galway handicap hurdle; back from a short break and looks in need of further than 2m, best form with some cut. Not in the first ten in three handicaps, the most recent over a longer trip at Galway.
14th	10 14th (10) (25/1 +24%) Maralinga	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Maralinga 25/1, Poor run when down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time; tongue-tie on first time; acts on good or yielding to soft but current mark looks stiff. Two Flat wins, modest hurdles form, held by several of these on C&D running.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (25/1 +0%) Chesterbaylad	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Chesterbaylad 25/1, Outpaced but ran to current form when well beaten in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle; effective at 2m though yet to show much over hurdles. Maiden whose best 2025 run was at Down Royal in May, weak form since, others preferred.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (40/1 +0%) Answering	40 40/1(+0%)	(1) Answering 40/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Navan last time; likes to race prominently. C&D winner, has run well here on other occasions, hard to make a case for him on 2025 form.

Off an initial mark of 92, it might be worth taking a chance on TUDORISTA in this fiercely competitive affair. One of two Gavin Cromwell-trained representatives, she is the choice of Keith Donoghue and caught the eye when fourth at Ballinrobe in July. Second over course and distance earlier this month, Midnight Eagle is an obvious danger. Runner-up on her debut for Terence O'Brien at Listowel, Inchiquin Maid is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Nusra and Surviving Murmansk are others for the shortlist.

If INCHIQUIN MAID (nap) has progressed even a little since a Listowel second on her seasonal and stable debut, she can win here

This is his second run after a wind operation; effective at 2m on good ground and should improve with experience. Second of five at Kelso on debut in April (2m, good; 100-30); should come on for the run.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

MONTE A BORD went into plenty of notebooks after finishing a never-nearer second on his debut at Kelso last month and any improvement could see him collect. Port Station and Connells Cross also filled the runner-up spot on their respective debuts, with the latter's form looking slightly stronger. Jennie Candlish's filly may serve the most resistance to the selection, although market support for newcomers Grazeon Sunshine or Prince Of Clova would be interesting.

An interesting bumper can go to MONTE A BORD, who was a promising second in a Kelso bumper that has worked out well on his debut.

LTO Selection:

Princess Of Ballea displayed promise on her opening third at Huntingdon earlier this month and she merits respect as the only one with race experience. However, there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with a tentative vote for BROKEN VOW. The daughter of Decorated Knight boasts plenty of speed in her pedigree and market support would increase confidence. Galaxy Star and Doobeedee are others to consider.

Graceful Glance has a good jumping pedigree but Flat-bred filly BROKEN VOW may have more speed and gets the nod.

C&D winner Banana showed more when occupying the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton on her latest outing and has to be respected, despite a 2lb higher rating. However, SUB THIRTEEN had Sisters In The Sky (third) and Lahina Bay (fourth) behind when victorious by a length at this course last time and can confirm that form to complete a double. Havechatma went in at Southwell last month and also has a chance.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to SUB THIRTEEN, who made it 2-5 at Bath when scoring off a reduced mark three weeks ago.

A highly promising third on debut over C&D earlier in the month, SHAFI gets the vote. The form of that contest has been franked by the second scoring since and James Tate's charge is taken to get off the mark on this occasion. Not beaten far when third first time out at Leicester last month, Big Shot Veto can follow the selection home, along with C&D runner-up Medyg.

Preference is for SHAFI who, despite showing signs of greenness, finished a promising third on his debut over C&D earlier this month.

Derek O'Connor partnered LENNON GROVE to finish fifth on her racecourse debut at Listowel and it's interesting that the legendary rider remains on board. In the care of O'Connor when successful in a point-to-point at Loughanmore in April, she has since joined Gavin Cromwell and performed with credit in the aforementioned Listowel event. Sent off favourite when second at Tipperary earlier this month, Garahon is an obvious danger, while Roscommon fourth Mc Swagger is another leading hope. Out of a half-sister to Conflated, Richwood is of definite interest, as are fellow debutants The First Turn and Of Land And Sea

A chance is taken on the well-bred OF LAND AND SEA who hails from a respected yard and has the champion amateur aboard.

READER should have learned plenty from her debut second at Goodwood earlier this month and ticks plenty of the right boxes. A switch to Polytrack is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from the daughter of Mohaather and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Afton Down left his opening seventh at Wolverhampton behind when filling the runner-up spot at Brighton a fortnight ago and is feared most, ahead of From The Hip.

South Coast Star is a well-bred newcomer for this level but AFTON DOWN has run well on both starts and could be hard to catch.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

BIRDCALL could not have done it much easier on her debut at Nottingham and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent her from remaining unbeaten, especially as she switches to the all-weather. Bred in the purple from a family that connections know well, Saxon Prince may have a say on debut, as well as Havana Oaks, who wasn't disgraced when fifth at Newcastle over 6f.

The market should indicate what is expected from newcomer Saxon Prince, but BIRDCALL was impressive on her Nottingham debut.

WOODY Y FERNANDEZ may have found his latest fifth over 5f at Redcar on the sharp side and this return to 6f may prove fruitful. The introduction of a hood may help Jennie Candlish's charge settle better and he edges the vote over Miss Ayala. The daughter of James Garfield scored over 7f here on her penultimate outing and she isn't taken lightly. Market support for nursery/stable debutant Kuiama would be interesting.

Kuiama is interesting on her stable debut but MISS AYALA's course win represents solid form and she had excuses last time.

Not beaten far on each of her last two starts over further, LIGHTNING TOUCH could be well suited by the application of cheekpieces for the first time and she can strike at the eighth time of asking. That may be at the main expense of Wolverhampton second Romantic Spirit and Aiming High, who was a taking winner over further at Lingfield last month.

Aiming High is a reliable mare, but LIGHTNING TOUCH remains unexposed and dropping a furlong may enable her to record a first win.

Having finished in third on her opening bid at Lingfield 16 days ago, Perdy In Paris is a potential improver stepping up in distance. However, APPLESANDPEARS was more eye-catching on her debut second on the same day at Leicester and Ed Bethell's filly shades the verdict. Baandee posted a bold bid from the front on her first appearance over C&D last month and may fare best of the remainder.

Applesandpears is greatly respected after her promising debut but BRIGHT CITY LIGHTS could improve again and gets the nod.

Effective from 5f to 7f with all wins on the all-weather, though currently out of form. Mainly seen over sprint trips these days; latest efforts don't suggest a win is imminent.

DAPPER GUEST did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last time out and an 8lb rise for that success looks manageable for the son of Dandy Man. He is preferred to another recent C&D winner in Morte Point, who has been raised 7lb, as well as the consistent One Night Thunder. Eldrickjones and Woodstock may also have a say in proceedings.

The vote goes to previous C&D winner DAPPER GUEST who can make it 3-3 on the AW despite the outside stall and an 8lb rise.

FOUETTE successfully stepped into handicap company at Southwell 23 days ago and the daughter of Acclamation is an attractive proposition, with a 5lb rise suggested as readily workable at this stage of her development. Stellenbosch won a novices' event at the same venue last month and could also have a big say now she has proven herself on Tapeta. Al Joory and Aramis Grey are other strong contenders.

Aramis Grey and Al Joory are respected but FOUETTE (nap) created a positive impression on her reappearance and can follow up.

Effective from 11–13f and acts on the all-weather; back on last winning mark and return to further should suit. Won at Musselburgh (12.4f) in July but he's been disappointing in three runs since.

Suited by 12f and acts on a sound surface; up 4lb and longer trip could suit further progress. Off the mark at Wolverhampton latest; up 4lb but he's a big player again at this new trip.

A taking winner over 1m4f at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, TOP OF PLEINMONT is likely to appreciate going further up in trip and he can land the double off 4lb higher. A respectable third at Southwell on his second attempt at this distance, Doddington Guy must enter calculations, as well as Petra Grey, who could be well treated off a mark of 52 on her handicap bow.

Most of these have lots to prove but TOP OF PLEINMONT won at Wolverhampton last time and is open to more progress at this new trip.

FLOWSTATE's two recent second-placed finishes in similar company read well and he could be up to the task of giving weight away all round at this level. Due Date is respected in bidding for a hat-trick. However, he hasn't won from a mark this high before and needs another personal best. Poetic Jack is a previous course winner to also consider from 4lb below his last winning mark.

Due Date should go well in his hat-trick bid but he may have to give best to top-weight FLOWSTATE, who also arives in good order.

DIVOT returned to form with a highly creditable second over further at Wolverhampton last month and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Woodstock City is best judged on his penultimate outing at Kempton when narrowly denied over this trip, while similar comments apply to Phaedra, who was successful at Ripon in August before disappointing at Windsor last month.

It may be worth giving a chance to GILTHONIEL on her handicap debut, given she is a half-sister to three middle-distance AW winners.

Due to go up 4lb in the future after a comfortable success at Southwell last Thursday, JUNO STAR is taken to strike again while the iron is hot, with Ashley Lewis' 5lb claim a major plus. Placed on each of his last two outings, and a winner over C&D in February, Sir Rodneyredblood is one to note, along with Shalaa Asker, who has run with plenty of credit on his last two outings over track and trip.

Juno Star is unpenalised for last week's Southwell win but DARK SIDE PRINCE may be able to exploit his reduced mark.

SHIMMERING SANDS may be on a long losing streak, but dropping back in trip looks like a good move and he has shown promise on each of his last two starts. The son of Teofilo may have too much for Beaming Light, who bounced back to form with a creditable third at Leicester recently. Coloane and Midnight Ravens are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The choice is BEAMING LIGHT (nap) who looks the one to beat if reproducing the form shown in third for a 0-78 event over C&D last month.

5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 +0%) Forca Timao	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Forca Timao 14/1, Too keen and well below form when finishing down the field in an 11f handicap at Windsor most recently. Off a short break and suited by 10-11f. Southwell win looks an outlier, with a bit to prove up in trip. 1m3f win off 2lb lower in April; out of form since and has stamina to prove.

Not beaten far on each of his last two starts over slightly further here, CARDINAL POINT sets the standard on form and can return to winning ways, with Hector Crouch an eye-catching booking. Must Believe returned from a break to score comfortably over 1m3f at Kempton last month, but he must now prove himself back over further, while The Bay Warrior is best judged on his penultimate victory at Lingfield.

3yos Must Believe and CARDINAL POINT look the pair to focus on and the latter's proven stamina earns her the verdict.

1	4 1st (4) (16/1 +36%) Ardaddy	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Ardaddy 16/1, Too keen and unlikely to stay up in trip when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Redcar last time. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Drop in trip should suit. 0-5, failing to beat a rival in both handicaps; plenty to prove back from seven months off.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/4 +33%) Latin	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(5) Latin 6/4, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 52 last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on any going. All-weather mark remains competitive and should be fine dropping in trip. Record since joining this yard reads 3353122 including being placed in two starts over C&D.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -20%) Imola	4 4/1(-20%)	(6) Imola 4/1, Ran to form down in trip when beaten 1 1/2l off 51 over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7f to 8f and acts on the all-weather. Running well off this mark and capable stepping back up in trip. 0-15 but looked unfortunate not to win at Wolverhampton latest on stable debut; same mark.
4	1 4th (1) (13/2 -8%) Instant Bond	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(1) Instant Bond 13/2, Produced his best handicap effort so far when beaten 1/2l off 54 at Newcastle last time. Probably effective from 5f to 7f and acts on the all-weather. Respected up 1lb after that improved run. 0-7 but a close third at Newcastle last time (second has won since); shortlisted.
5th	3 5th (3) (25/1 -108%) No Nay Nevermind	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) No Nay Nevermind 25/1, Didn't stay when comfortably held in a handicap over 9f at Musselburgh last time. Returns from a short break and is suited by 7f and a sound surface. In and out of form but still fairly treated. 0-11 and her form is patchy; it's not clear what to expect.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 +39%) Rory	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(9) Rory 11/2, Ran to form down in trip when beaten 2l off 47 over 6f at Newcastle last time. Suited by 6f to 7f and acts on the all-weather. Running okay but needs more to get his head in front. Losing run up to 20 despite sliding down the weights; others appeal more.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 -38%) Al Baahy	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) Al Baahy 11/1, Below form when ridden too far back and beaten 3 1/2l off 56 here last time. Effective between 7f and 9f and acts on the all-weather. Down again in the weights but has not won since 2023. Usually contests better race than this but his record of 1-39 is hardly inspiring.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -12%) Blue Seeker	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Blue Seeker 28/1, Never involved after trouble at the start when down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Wears a hood for the first time and effective at 7f. Best recent form on the all-weather and could be well treated if the new headgear helps. 11lb lower than when making a successful handicap debut but for a reason; hood on.
9th	11 9th (11) (22/1 -100%) Jimmy Henry	22 22/1(-100%)	(11) Jimmy Henry 22/1, Below form after doing too much when beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f at Kempton last time. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather. Exposed maiden who looks vulnerable again. Has been placed only once in 15 starts; others are more solid.
10th	7 10th (7) (16/1 -100%) Sands Of Dubai	16 16/1(-100%)	(7) Sands Of Dubai 16/1, Scored by a head off 50 at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start but was below form despite a handy draw last time. Best at 7f and acts on the all-weather. On the up until latest and capable off this mark if bouncing back. Has finished first and last at Wolverhampton in her last two starts; enough to prove.
11th	10 11th (10) (18/1 +10%) Barney's Bay	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Barney's Bay 18/1, Again below form when staying on from too far back to finish fourth, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest. Effective from 6f to 8f and acts on the all-weather. Up against it on current form. 3-52; running with credit when last seen but he may need this after six months off.

IMOLA didn't enjoy the best of passages on her second-placed stable bow over 6f here 19 days ago and compensation could be on the horizon. Joey Ramsden's filly makes plenty of appeal reverting to 7f and she may be able to repel chief rival Latin. James Owen's charge arrives on the back of a good second over 1m2f at Lingfield, although this emphasis on speed could leave him vulnerable. Instant Bond is also noted.

Preference is for IMOLA who comes into this 0-15 but looked unlucky not to make a successful stable debut at Wolverhampton last time.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +26%) Time Tested	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(3) Time Tested 10/3, Ran to form despite a sluggish start and a troubled run, beaten 1/2l off 72 at Lingfield last time. Trainer in form and returns from a short break. Effective from 8-10f and acts on the all-weather; considered off the same mark. Big improver at 1m2f on Polytrack; latest 3rd suggests current mark not beyond him.
2	1 2nd (1) (12/1 -50%) Gifted Angel	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) Gifted Angel 12/1, Little went right when dropped in trip, finishing 5 1/4l behind in a 12f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. In good form beforehand and returns from a long layoff. Effective from 12-14f, acts on good ground; may need the run after a year off. Two AW wins last autumn came over 1m4f and 1m6f; up against it over 1m2f after absence.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +25%) Frostmagic	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Frostmagic 9/2, Improved slightly when worn down late, beaten a head off 70 over 8f at Kempton last time. Effective from 8-12f and acts on a sound surface; in form and on a competitive mark, stepping back up in trip. Previous AW win at 1m4f; narrow defeats over 1m of late; can go well again; headgear off.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +25%) Nibras Angel	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Nibras Angel 12/1, Had every chance and ran about to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 7f and acts on the all-weather; has regressed in recent starts. Both wins over 7f on turf; acts on AW; hampered over C&D latest on first 1m2f run.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/4 +45%) Wyld Bill	1.5 6/4(+45%)	(2) Wyld Bill 6/4, Improved when getting a good tow for a ready success, landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off 64 here last time. Effective over 10-11f and progressive on the all-weather. C&D winner; new mark asks more but has leading claims. Made it 3-4 in 1m2f AW handicaps when drawing well clear over C&D; up 8lb; improving.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/2 +31%) Mythical Bird	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(7) Mythical Bird 11/2, Ran her race back up in trip when beaten 3l off 72 here last time. Effective at 10f and most effective on the all-weather; needs more on recent efforts. Maiden; creditable shows in AW handicaps this autumn but more needed in competitive race.
7th	9 7th (9) (22/1 -267%) Gretna Dreams	22 22/1(-267%)	(9) Gretna Dreams 22/1, Scored by 1/2l off 61 at Newmarket in July, but was below form off a revised mark last time. Suited by 10f and a sound surface; had been progressing until latest, though the handicapper may now be catching up. Won 2 of first 3 runs over 1m2f for yard; disappointing latest; Polytrack is an unknown.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Unbeaten in two starts over C&D, including when scoring easily here recently, WYLD BILL should have plenty more to come off 8lb higher. Narrowly denied in a contest at Kempton that has worked out well since, Frostmagic could improve with another go at this trip, whereas Time Tested should appreciate a return to this track, having scored here off 4lb lower in March. Gretna Dreams and Mythical Bird may also have a say in proceedings.

Time Tested and Vilaine Verlaine can give it a good shot but WYLD BILL is taken to continue on the upgrade.

1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +18%) Spun To Gold	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(1) Spun To Gold 9/4, Back to summer best, cashing in on a reduced mark when landing a handicap by a length off 54 over 6f at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6f and 7f, acts on good to soft, good and all-weather. Not sure this race will fall as kindly, back up in trip. Won over 7f (turf) and 6f (Newcastle Tapeta) in 2025; hard to predict but well treated.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 +0%) Desert Beauty	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Desert Beauty 14/1, Below form, always behind when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Brighton last time. Suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface. Attitude questionable, but mark looks workable if forgiven latest run. A turf winner at 7f but she made no impact in sole AW handicap (7f) in September.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) Urban Dandy	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Urban Dandy 12/1, Below form, committed too soon and stopped quickly when comfortably held in a handicap over 8f at Newcastle last time. Effective at 7-8f, previously acted over 6f, suited by all-weather. Better than the result latest, drop in trip may suit. Consistent run of form in the spring, including C&D; well below best since back from break.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 -100%) Von Krolock	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(7) Von Krolock 11/2, Again below form in reapplied cheekpieces, beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 6f and 7f; inconsistent and without a win since 2023. AW winner in 2023; well treated on best Irish form; odds-on defeat on Tuesday's yard debut.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -125%) Magna	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Magna 18/1, Back to form dropped in trip, beaten 3/4l off 45 at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f and 8f, acts best on all-weather. Suited by this trip latest and remains capable up just 2lb. Now 0-13 but acts on Tapeta and close 2nd at Kempton (7f) latest; more needed to win.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +39%) Elvetham	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(3) Elvetham 11/2, Challenged too soon and finished tired, beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f at Lingfield last time. Effective between 1m and 10f on good and all-weather surfaces, consistent until latest effort. 0-13 but was running well at about 1m before lesser run latest; return to 7f is worth a go.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -75%) Charlatan	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Charlatan 14/1, Raced wide and below form when fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap over 10f at Lingfield last time. Usually held up, returning from a break, and generally consistent. All four wins at about 1m, the latest here in January; trip query at 7f and off since June.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/4 +21%) Oselton	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(5) Oselton 11/4, Ran to form, doing best work late when fourth, beaten 3/4l off 54 last time. Suited by 7f and acts on all-weather; should remain competitive from this mark. Impressive on first start here, over C&D in September; hampered since; solid claims.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -52%) Twilight Poppy	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Twilight Poppy 50/1, Not best of runs, a bit below form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 6f at Yarmouth last time. Effective at 6f, yet to show form on all-weather. Remains below a winning level. Minor form and she found little in her one previous go over 7f.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Magna almost caused a shock when runner-up at odds of 40/1 at Kempton recently and she shouldn't be underestimated off just 1lb higher in the handicap. However, SPUN TO GOLD escapes a penalty for his triumph over 6f at Newcastle nine days ago and reverting to 7f is unlikely to prevent another bold showing. Charlatan arrives here in better form than most and could also feature.

Spun To Gold is much respected but OSELTON may be capable of better yet after a luckless run last time out.

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.
