1	14 1st (14) (4/7 +37%) Upon Tweed		0.571429 4/7(+37%)																															(14) Upon Tweed 4/7, From the yard that won this last year; quickened clear for a very promising debut, easily beating a useful rival by 8½l in a bumper over 2m1f at Newcastle; returning from a long layoff and looks the pick on overall form. Impressive on bumper debut at Newcastle in February and looks a good hurdling prospect.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/3 -33%) Stride On		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(12) Stride On 10/3, Ran to form when benefitting from a drop in grade, winning a bumper at Newcastle over 2m1f by 3¼l last time; trainer in form, returning from a long layoff and holds an outside chance. Won Newcastle bumper in January; ought to play a significant role on hurdling debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +36%) Gaelic Rover		9 9/1(+36%)																															(3) Gaelic Rover 9/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability and faces a stiff task. Showed significant promise before falling in late stages of two Irish points; cost £66,000.
4	8 4th (8) (13/2 +7%) Moon Phases		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(8) Moon Phases 13/2, Improved on bumper form when just beaten by a more experienced rival, second by 13l in a maiden hurdle here latest; trainer in form, effective at 2m, handles cut, and likely to stay a bit further. Clear second in C&D maiden in March but no threat to short-odds winner.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -178%) Glenville		50 50/1(-178%)																															(4) Glenville 50/1, Fell in a novice hurdle here last time; returning from a long layoff but could have a small chance. Began year with two quite promising C&D runs; each-eay claims if tuned up after break.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +0%) Highland Fashion		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Highland Fashion 10/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Perth latest; effective over 2½m, handles cut in the ground and generally consistent. 0-6 over hurdles last season but showed some fair form; probably won't be far away.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -100%) Rock Dj		100 100/1(-100%)																															(10) Rock Dj 100/1, Found little and needed the run on hurdle debut, comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Hexham last time; suited by good ground and, as a 3m point winner, may need a bit further than 2m under rules. Showed promise in Irish points but was safely held in a recent novice hurdle.
8th	13 8th (13) (100/1 -355%) The Coffey Boy		100 100/1(-355%)																															(13) The Coffey Boy 100/1, Improved to win by 3l in a maiden over 3m at Ballinaboola on debut; returning from a long layoff and needs to show more. Won soft-ground Irish point in February but probably best watched on rules debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (300/1 -200%) Reliance Kid		300 300/1(-200%)																															(9) Reliance Kid 300/1, Probably needed the race when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; returning from a long layoff and has plenty to find. Soundly beaten when 125-1 for stable/hurdle debut at Kelso 13 months ago.
6	6 |U| (6) (125/1 +17%) Jack Dempsey		125 125/1(+17%)																															(6) Jack Dempsey 125/1, Unseated in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; effective at 2m, acts on good ground and may stay slightly further over hurdles. Unseated rider at fourth flight when 250-1 for recent hurdle debut.
10th	2 10th (2) (125/1 +0%) Elusive Warrior		125 125/1(+0%)																															(2) Elusive Warrior 125/1, Green and made mistakes when finding nothing on hurdle debut, well beaten in a novice hurdle at Hexham latest; showed nothing in bumpers or over hurdles and has everything to prove. Did not show much in two bumpers last autumn or when seventh on recent hurdle debut.
11th	7 11th (7) (16/1 +27%) L'arme De Bonheur		16 16/1(+27%)																															(7) L'arme De Bonheur 16/1, Promising on bumper debut when runner-up beaten a length at Uttoxeter on only start; needs to progress further. Promising second in a bumper for Tom George in May; with new stable for hurdling career.

Highland Fashion is the pick of those with hurdling experience, but he could be vulnerable to some unexposed types in this field. One of those is UPON TWEED, who readily dispatched the exciting Conman John on his debut in a bumper at Newcastle in February. If taking to hurdling, Nicky Richards' gelding could prove to be well above average this season. Stride On is another bumper winner who has to be given plenty of respect, while L'arme De Bonheur is also considered.

It's hard to get away from UPON TWEED, who was very impressive when winning a Newcastle bumper in February.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +69%) Mount Anglesby		5 5/1(+69%)																															(2) Mount Anglesby 5/1, Ran to form when second beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester last time. A 3m point winner who is effective from 2m to 2 1/2m over hurdles, acts on good ground, and remains competitive on his Irish form. Second in valuable series final at Worcester in September; can make presence felt again.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +36%) At The Oche		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(9) At The Oche 9/4, A bit free but benefitted from a drop in grade when winning a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las over 2m by 3/4l last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and looks on a lenient opening mark. Made heavy weather of landing 1-5 odds last month but remains unexposed; major player.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +25%) Theatre Of Flight		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Theatre Of Flight 12/1, Scored by 5 1/2l off 103 over 2m7f at Worcester on his penultimate start but was below form when fifth beaten 23l off 113 last time, not finding much after travelling well. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m on good ground, though this mark demands more. Safely held last month but won readily on stable debut in September; back in trip here.
4	3 4th (3) (11/4 +17%) Byzantium		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(3) Byzantium 11/4, Landed a handicap by 7 1/2l off 102 at Warwick on his penultimate start, quickening clear impressively when stepping up in trip. Followed up by winning a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last time and could be well treated back in a handicap. Struck form with two wins in June (handicap/novice); tendency to race too freely a worry.
5th	7 5th (7) (13/2 +7%) Thistle Be The One		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(7) Thistle Be The One 13/2, Below form on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Exeter last time. Had been in good form before that but has a bit to find now. Second in two novice hurdles for Keiran Burke last winter but well held on handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 +8%) Sage Green		11 11/1(+8%)																															(5) Sage Green 11/1, Keen early and had too much to do after conceding first run when second beaten 2l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow last time. Ran to form and appeals as a value selection on the balance of his form. Made good start to hurdle career over 2m at end of last season; this longer trip will suit.
7th	10 7th (10) (9/1 +25%) Graham		9 9/1(+25%)																															(10) Graham 9/1, Unseated rider in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2m and acts on any ground. 0-7 over hurdles; can probably win soon but is up in grade here; others appeal more.

BYZANTIUM easily accounted for two subsequent winners when taking a similar race at Warwick in June and was successful when last seen later that month in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot. With that in mind, Paul Nicholls' gelding merits the utmost respect on his return to action. At The Oche confirmed the promise that he displayed on his hurdling debut when winning at Ffos Las recently and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Akimos.

Most of these still have potential but AT THE OCHE is seemingly on a lenient mark for this handicap debut and can hit the bullseye.

1	2 1st (2) (85/40 +53%) Blake		2.125 85/40(+53%)																															(2) Blake 85/40, Yard has won three of the last ten renewals; showed small improvement when hampered and promoted to first after finishing second, beaten 3 1/4l in a 12f handicap at Leopardstown. Represents value on overall form. Recent Flat winner (awarded); needs to jump better than on Cork debut in March.
2	11 2nd (11) (33/1 -18%) Takenasred		33 33/1(-18%)																															(11) Takenasred 33/1, Too keen and below hurdles form when reverting to bumpers, finishing down the field in a 2m Kilbeggan bumper. Returns from a break and needs to find much more. Bumper form ordinary but sole hurdle run was encouraging; needs to jump better though.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/5 +40%) Road Exile		1.2 6/5(+40%)																															(9) Road Exile 6/5, Yard has won the last two renewals; matched his rules debut level when winning a 2m bumper at Limerick by 5l last time. Returns from a lengthy layoff and has plenty to prove at this level. Limerick bumper winner last term on heavy; obvious appeal now sent hurdling.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +11%) A Dream To Share		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) A Dream To Share 4/1, Winner of two Grade 1 races; well held off a tough opening mark when finishing down the field in a 2m handicap at Naas last time. The pick on balance of form. Top bumper performer; jumping left a bit to be desired when last seen hurdling.
5th	12 5th (12) (150/1 -200%) Tiger Twins		150 150/1(-200%)																															(12) Tiger Twins 150/1, Modest debut effort when failing to get home, well beaten in a 2m bumper at Listowel. Trainer in form but this demands considerable improvement. Dropped away tamely on bumper debut; can only be watched now switched to hurdles.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 -100%) Kevlar		20 20/1(-100%)																															(6) Kevlar 20/1, Ran to form when dropped back in trip, finishing second and beaten 1 1/2l in a 2m bumper at Kilbeggan. Returns from a break and looks difficult to recommend in this company. Useful enough bumper form; likely better hurdler but may need this after summer break.
7th	8 7th (8) (125/1 -279%) Rackemandstackem		125 125/1(-279%)																															(8) Rackemandstackem 125/1, Showed some promise but likely needed the run when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran Park on debut. Should stay around 2m4f but needs major improvement to feature. Never counted on recent Gowran debut; seemingly the pick of the Cromwell trio.
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -79%) Bryson		50 50/1(-79%)																															(3) Bryson 50/1, Made a fair hurdles debut when closing late to finish 17l fourth in a maiden hurdle here; hood applied for the first time. Effective around 2m1f and acts on good ground; likely to improve with experience. Okay C&D debut effort in May, tending to jump left; tried hooded on return.
9th	10 9th (10) (250/1 -213%) Soldier Saint		250 250/1(-213%)																															(10) Soldier Saint 250/1, Ran well below bumper form when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Listowel last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; up against it on current evidence. Ex Nicky Henderson-trained; behind throughout on hurdles debut at Listowel, best watched.
10th	14 10th (14) (300/1 -140%) Rhythm Of Choice		300 300/1(-140%)																															(14) Rhythm Of Choice 300/1, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Sligo last time. Showed minor promise at 3m in points and may fare better once handicapping. Placed in point-to-point but maiden hurdle form so far poor.
11th	7 11th (7) (14/1 -17%) O'reilly		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) O'reilly 14/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 6l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; wears a hood for the first time. Effective between 2m and 2m2f and acts on soft and good ground; expected to remain competitive in maiden hurdles. Placed on three of four attempts hurdling, more needed to play a major role here.
12th	4 12th (4) (200/1 -100%) Catch Fire		200 200/1(-100%)																															(4) Catch Fire 200/1, Raced too keenly and again made no impact when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Should stay 2m–2m4f but faces a stiff task on return from a break. French Flat winner but two hurdle runs have been modest, can only be watched for now.

Whinney Hill, who was pitched into Grade 1 events on his last two starts, and A Dream To Share, the winner of the 2023 championship bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown, bring a touch of class and look set to play strong roles. However, ROAD EXILE is a useful prospect now he switches to hurdles and, based on potential, he could be the pick of a strong hand played by Gordon Elliott. Others with each-way chances include Blake, Kevlar and O'Reilly.

Top bumper performer A DREAM TO SHARE is worth another chance here, at the expense of hurdles debutant Road Exile

1	7 1st (7) (10/3 +33%) Pintara		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(7) Pintara 10/3, Yard won this last year. Useful debut, showing she would still improve when winning a novice at Salisbury by 2l on debut. Off a short break; effective at 8f, acts on good to firm. Promising and respected up in grade for a top yard. Quickened to win on debut at Salisbury; yard won this last year; commands major respect.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/4 -22%) Sacred Ground		2.75 11/4(-22%)																															(9) Sacred Ground 11/4, Well backed and overcame a slow start for a useful debut, winning by 3/4l in a novice at Yarmouth. Effective at 8f, acts on good. Plenty to like about her debut win and she is considered up in grade for a top yard. Superbly bred; overcame greenness to win at Yarmouth; has stacks of potential.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 -108%) Previous		25 25/1(-108%)																															(8) Previous 25/1, Travelled well, making light work of her opening mark when winning a nursery at Southwell by 4l last time. Wide draw; effective 7-8f. The handicapper has reacted, but she surely has more to offer. 2-3 on AW; has to prove effectiveness on turf, but in good hands and going the right way.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 0%) Brigid's Well		25 25/1(0%)																															(2) Brigid's Well 25/1, Ran to form under a penalty when second, beaten a short head in a novice at Kempton latest. Effective at 8f, acts on good. Progressing and worth a shot at this higher level. Winner and runner-up in 1m novices; will need some improvement.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -78%) Morning Rose		8 8/1(-78%)																															(5) Morning Rose 8/1, Made a good debut, travelling well and scoring tidily by 2l in a novice over 7f at Newcastle. Trained by a top course handler; effective at 7f. A big, strong filly with a good attitude and respected up in grade. Bred to be smart and cosily justified favouritism on debut at Newcastle; could be anything.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 +0%) Ourbren		25 25/1(+0%)																															(6) Ourbren 25/1, Improved, possibly flattered when 2l third in the D&H Racing Stakes (Listed) over 7f at Newbury most recently. Effective up to 7f, acts on soft. Needs further improvement with this step up in trip. 25-1 when third in Listed race at Newbury; form claims but others may have more potential.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -21%) Just A Girl		40 40/1(-21%)																															(4) Just A Girl 40/1, Below form on handicap debut when down the field in a nursery over 7f at York most recently. In good form prior; wide draw and off a short break. Effective 6-8f, acts on good. Many from the yard ran poorly at York and she could bounce back. Made all at Lingfield in August but well held next time and this is a stiffer task.
8th	1 8th (1) (7/1 +30%) Aspiral		7 7/1(+30%)																															(1) Aspiral 7/1, Improved when winning well from the front on handicap debut at Ayr over 7f by 2 1/4l last time. Drawn wide but effective up to 8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm. Worth this rise in grade after a ready handicap win. Personal best when making all in nursery at Ayr in September; in the mix.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +0%) Classic Cuvee		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Classic Cuvee 4/1, Struggled on the rise in grade, finishing well below maiden level when well beaten in the Oh So Sharp Stakes (Group 3) over 7f here last time. In good form prior; effective at 7f, bred to want 10f+, acts on good. Quirky but could bounce back up in trip. Looked promising when winning at Doncaster but disappointing next time; may bounce back.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 +30%) Wetsand		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Wetsand 14/1, Below form when down the field in an auction race over 7f here most recently. In good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface. A game filly but may prove vulnerable at this level. Dual winner; only twelfth in sales race here four weeks ago; needs to hit a new high.

Bred in the purple as a daughter of Kingman out of Oaks heroine Anapurna, SACRED GROUND impressed when scoring on her Yarmouth introduction and she can take this rise in grade in her stride. A taking winner first time out at Newcastle, Morning Rose should appreciate going up in trip on her turf debut, while Pintara looks to build upon a comfortable success at Salisbury for her in-form stable. Classic Cuvee is better than she showed in the Oh So Sharp here and may also have a say.

Morning Rose and Pintara are respected but the vote goes to the beautifully bred Yarmouth winner SACRED GROUND.

1	9 1st (9) (13/2 +41%) Pep Talking		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(9) Pep Talking 13/2, Ran to form but did plenty early, setting it up for a closer when second beaten 13l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, suited by good ground and consistent. Progressive in the spring and he could build upon his comeback run in October.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +50%) Strong Foundations		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(8) Strong Foundations 9/2, Had too much to do when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time. Looks the market's pick and can do better. Point runner-up and novice hurdle winner who is a possible improver now going over fences.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +56%) Top Target		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(4) Top Target 7/2, Probably needed the run when fourth, beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time.

4	7 4th (7) (11/10 +41%) Lightning Flash		1.1 11/10(+41%)																															(7) Lightning Flash 11/10, Did it readily when improving, suited by a positive ride down in trip on chase debut to land a handicap by 4l off 106 over 2m at Chepstow last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good ground, and has more to come over fences. Won on recent chase debut; in a deeper race today but only 5 and could have more to offer.
5th	2 5th (2) (28/1 -56%) Geryville		28 28/1(-56%)																															(2) Geryville 28/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Carlisle last time. Prefers some give in the ground and may need further. Inconsistent last season but his best performances came over C&D; could be a contender.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -150%) Ladronne		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) Ladronne 40/1, Improved on recent efforts when landing a handicap by 10l off 101 over 3m2f at Sedgefield last time. Has a bit to find here. Won this in 2022 but his four subsequent wins have come over staying trips.
1	1 |F| (1) (40/1 -300%) Ninth Loch		40 40/1(-300%)																															(1) Ninth Loch 40/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off a mark of 122 over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and has a bit to find. In good form over hurdles when last seen; watch the betting on chase/stable debut.
5	5 |PU| (5) (25/1 -285%) Glen Cannel		25 25/1(-285%)																															(5) Glen Cannel 25/1, Quickened and jumped well, showing a game attitude when improving again under a positive ride down in trip to land a handicap by 2 1/2l off 108 over 2m4f at Perth last time. Returns from a break and remains progressive. Made it 2-4 over fences when making all at Perth in July; open to further improvement.

The progressive LIGHTNING FLASH looks to have a leading chance. He made a winning start over fences last month with a cosy win at Chepstow and there should be plenty more to come over the larger obstacles. A dual winner over fences at Perth, Glen Cannel beat a subsequent winner last time and warrants respect on that form, while Ninth Loch is preferred to Top Target of those chasing for the first time.

There can be optimism STRONG FOUNDATIONS will improve now going over fences and he earns the vote ahead of point winner Top Target.

7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +75%) Rob Roy Macgregor		4 4/1(+75%)																															(6) Rob Roy Macgregor 4/1, May have found the ground on the quick side when well beaten in a handicap chase at Hexham last time; had been in good form prior; visor fitted for the first time and returning from a break with a chance. 0-11 over obstacles; disappointing on second chase start; first-time visor may help.
8th	2 8th (2) (10/1 -25%) Everyday Champagne		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Everyday Champagne 10/1, Travelled well and ran to form but failed to find as much as looked likely when 9 1/2l third in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Perth last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m; down in the weights and needs to build on recent revival. Not at best for some time although often makes the frame; others appeal more for the win.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 -25%) Hold The Note		25 25/1(-25%)																															(7) Hold The Note 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hexham last time; appears regressive. Winless since early in 2023; tumbling in the weights but others are more appealing.
10th	12 10th (12) (66/1 -164%) Muroor		66 66/1(-164%)																															(12) Muroor 66/1, Outpaced and below form when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Hexham most recently; returns from a break and needs positive handling. Veteran who was well held at Hexham in June; on a long losing sequence; opposable.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 -33%) Cowboy Cooper		10 10/1(-33%)																															(5) Cowboy Cooper 10/1, Rallied gamely and improved back up in trip, benefiting from his hurdles reappearance to land a handicap by 2l off 85 here last time; returning from a long layoff and likely to appreciate further. Late-developing 9yo with two wins from his last three outings; remains of interest.
3	3 |PU| (3) (10/1 -200%) Judicial Review		10 10/1(-200%)																															(3) Judicial Review 10/1, Travelled strongly and won comfortably, showing improvement when landing a handicap by 8l off 87 over 2m5f at Cartmel last time; returns from a short break and looks progressive. Two wins at Cartmel in summer, but up 8lb for latest which will make things tougher here.

EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE may not have been suited by the drop to 2m4f when third at Perth. However, his previous second off this mark at the same venue over 3m suggests that he could play a leading role in a race of this nature. Judicial Review had plenty in hand when winning at Cartmel in August and James Moffatt's gelding may prove to be the main threat, ahead of Cave Hill and Cowboy Cooper.

Still only a 7yo, TOROSAY can get back on track after a break and is marginally preferred to the late-developing Cowboy Cooper.

All of these have claims, but the vote goes to NO QUESTIONS ASKED. The seven-year-old showed plenty of ability over hurdles, including when second in the Sidney Banks at Huntingdon in February, and it would be no surprise to see him find further progression now switched to fences. Don't Tell Su has left Paul Nicholls to join the Nicky Henderson team, while Viroflay is back with the 14-times champion trainer after a fine hunter chase campaign for his daughter Olive.

This should be run at a strong pace and the unexposed 4yo LYLIAN showed that he can jump fences in France this summer.

1	9 1st (9) (7/2 +53%) Lieber Nicc		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(9) Lieber Nicc 7/2, Built on Flat debut though failed to get home when stepped up in trip, finishing well held in a 2m maiden at Thurles last time. Should be in the mix. Ran well at Leopardstown in December, fit from two Flat runs, needs rain to miss.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -38%) Wholelotofbusiness		11 11/1(-38%)																															(8) Wholelotofbusiness 11/1, Ran to form when allowed a relatively easy lead to win a novice hurdle at Killarney by 5l last time. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground, and is a consistent performer. Won a Killarney novice on latest, mark rose from 112 to 120, very soft would be a query.

Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and looks well treated on flat form. 3-15 over hurdles, up 7lb and in grade after impressive Navan win, could be more to come.

In good form previously; trainer in form. Effective from 2m to 2m6f, acts on yielding and good ground, and is consistent. Dual-purpose, in good form in both codes, needs to find a bit more to win off this mark.

Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; likely has more to come. Highly tried after 3yo maiden hurdle win, ran okay in the Fred Winter, go well if fit.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 +65%) Shanroe		28 28/1(+65%)																															(7) Shanroe 28/1, Continued in poor form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Clonmel last time after a short break. Former Listed winner who looks the pick on race times. Veteran has been out of form for some time, needs a revival.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 -13%) Arch Empire		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Arch Empire 9/1, Travelled best but failed to stay the longer trip when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; effective at 2m and generally consistent. Some good runs in defeat since maiden win, Kennedy keeps faith, rain a big worry.
10th	12 10th (12) (8/1 +20%) Serienmond		8 8/1(+20%)																															(12) Serienmond 8/1, Short of room and flattened out late when upped in trip, beaten 6 1/2l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m and appears to be running into form this term. Won off 10lb lower in March, modest efforts last twice, may be on a tough mark.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +0%) Messerschmitt		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) Messerschmitt 8/1, Raced wide and did too much too soon when well beaten in the Listed Lartigue Handicap Hurdle over 2m at Listowel last time. In good form before that; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; well treated on both flat and hurdle form. Best efforts have come at Galway, tough task in Lartigue latest, could rebound.

RAGMANS CORNER went up 7lb for scoring at Navan in September after travelling notably well throughout the contest. The six-year-old appears to have more to offer and gets the vote to land a fourth victory over timber. Lieber Nicc finished fifth in this contest 12 months ago and returns following a couple of spins on the Flat. He is expected to be in the mix along with Balko D'ange, who was fourth at Tipperary, and Spy.

BALKO D'ANGE is ground versatile and he should improve plenty for his pleasing seasonal return at Tipperary

Effective at 8f and should stay further. Acts on good ground. A little quirky but on a competitive mark with the hood removed. Carries head high; close third last time; likely to stay but improvement is needed.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 +9%) Lapidarist		20 20/1(+9%)																															(6) Lapidarist 20/1, Below form when dropped in trip on turf debut, beaten 4 1/4l in a 7f Yarmouth nursery last time. Effective from 7f to 9f. Longer trip may help after a disappointing handicap debut. New trip today (dam 1m2f winner) for this second nursery and she needs to raise her game.

BEYOND THE BAR is top-weight for a reason and he looked like a colt with plenty more to come when getting off the mark in comfortable fashion at Redcar. A mark of 79 on his nursery debut could underestimate him and it may be Gaspacho who follows him home after a breakthrough success over 1m at Pontefract. Fellow handicap newcomer Trio may be able to build on her success at Leicester for her in-form yard.

Topweight BEYOND THE BAR looks a rising force and can improve again to double up on today's handicap debut. Trio is next best.

This looks an ideal chance for GOLDEN ACE to resume winning ways. Left in the lead at the last when a fortunate winner of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, Jeremy Scott's charge subsequently finished a determined runner-up in the Punchestown equivalent and looks a cut above today's opposition. Second in a Grade 2 hurdle at Doncaster in January, Kateira should have the measure of Dysart Enos of the remaining pair.

This can go to GOLDEN ACE. She was a fortunate winner of the Champion Hurdle in March but holds leading claims nevertheless.

LAVIDA ADIVA progressed well last season and ended up winning a Listed event on her first start over 3m at Kelso in March. A second over C&D the following month suggests that there in more to come from Ruth Jefferson's mare and she appears to be the safest pick in an open event. Esprit Du Potier has been off the track for a long time, but he showed ability as a novice and should not be underestimated. Ginger Mail and Nab Wood are also noted.

Unexposed over 3m+, the lightly raced NAB WOOD (nap) makes most appeal, with Lavida Adiva feared most.

Quite well in on flashes of form, including his second in this last year; able when fresh.

Last year's winner Martator has to be respected but this does appear to be a stronger renewal and preference is for L'EAU DU SUD. Dan Skelton's gelding was a high-class novice last season, winning the Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices' Chase before a close fourth in the Arkle, and a mark of 155 may underestimate his ability. The Irish-raider Special Cadeau has to be noted following a Grade 3 second in September, while Sans Bruit and Boothill are others who make the shortlist.

When Venetia Williams has had three winners and a second in this race since 2013, last year's hero MARTATOR should be raring to go.

5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 +0%) Whateys Quest		16 16/1(+0%)																															(10) Whateys Quest 16/1, Outpaced and possibly found the ground too quick when down the field in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Galway last time; returns from a short break and prefers some cut in the ground. Raised 11lb for Limerick win last December, may have needed latest, check market.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -65%) Clonbury Bridge		14 14/1(-65%)																															(5) Clonbury Bridge 14/1, Improved when back chasing, jumping well to land a handicap by 1 1/2l off 110 at Fairyhouse last time; trainer in form; effective up to 3m and handles yielding and good ground; 5lb rise looks fair. Won on latest at Fairyhouse, raised 5lb, will need a career best to follow up.
7th	16 7th (16) (11/1 +31%) Stretchemout		11 11/1(+31%)																															(16) Stretchemout 11/1, Below form on switch to handicap chases when fourth, beaten 34l, in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time; effective at 2m5f and handles yielding and good ground; needs to bounce back. Sligo beginners' win on penultimate, no show on h'cap debut, needs more off this mark.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +17%) Clonmeen		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Clonmeen 10/1, Ran to form on first outing since the spring, beaten 3 1/2l off 112 at Fairyhouse last time; usually held up; effective up to 3m and handles heavy and yielding ground; fair return off this mark and can go well. C&D winner, sharper for pleasing latest run at Fairyhouse, big chance if the rain comes.
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 +0%) Tonaghneave Well		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) Tonaghneave Well 14/1, Never settled and was comfortably held in a beginners' chase over 2m2f at Sligo last time; effective from 2m to 2½m, looks high in the weights over hurdles, and needs a drop in grade over fences. 129-rated hurdler, beginners' efforts modest, stamina to prove on h'cap chase debut.
6	6 |F| (6) (10/3 +26%) Nastya		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(6) Nastya 10/3, Made mistakes but ran to form when winning a beginners' chase at Killarney over 2m7f by 2 1/2l last time; tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective at 3m on decent ground and progressing. Course winner, form of Killarney win has taken knocks but respected on h'cap debut.
15	15 |U| (15) (12/1 +45%) Le Grand Vert		12 12/1(+45%)																															(15) Le Grand Vert 12/1, Made too much use of the pace and was comfortably held in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time; well treated on old form and prefers some ease in the ground. Won off 1lb higher at Ayr in March, best on soft ground, chance if rain comes.
14	14 |PU| (14) (18/1 +64%) Marronstown		18 18/1(+64%)																															(14) Marronstown 18/1, Returned to hurdling and again ran well below form when down the field in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; remains a progressive type. 2lb below last win but has lost way since good C&D run in January, needs a revival.
18	18 |PU| (18) (33/1 +34%) Rust To Riches		33 33/1(+34%)																															(18) Rust To Riches 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; returns from a break and is difficult to fancy. 0-13 over fences, pulled up when last seen in July, hard to fancy; reserve.

A relatively unexposed sort for leading connections, NASTYA impressed when getting off the mark over fences at Killarney last month and a mark of 114 on her handicap debut could underestimate her ability. The six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the more experienced Clonbury Bridge, who returned to winning ways with a taking performance at Fairyhouse last month, for which he has been raised 5lb. Two lengths behind him on that occasion was the consistent Midnight Moonshine (third), who is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as Brucejack and Ceanndana.

The C&D winner CLONMEEN (nap) is taken to turn Fairyhouse form with Clonbury Bridge and Midnight Moonshine around

1	3 1st (3) (9/2 -13%) Linwood		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(3) Linwood 9/2, Didn't appreciate testing ground when beaten 4l in a 7f handicap at Newbury last time; in good form prior. Effective 7-9f, ideally wants a sound surface; can bounce back on better ground. Only 5th at Newbury latest but Goodwood thirds prior to that solid; given another chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 +25%) Nebras		9 9/1(+25%)																															(1) Nebras 9/1, Below spring form when beaten 9l in a 10f handicap at Goodwood last time; off a short break. Effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good; mark still high but newly gelded and still early days for past C&D winner. 2nd in 1m2f course Listed; below par twice since but betting check needed after gelding op.

Suited by 8-10f, acts on any ground; back to form latest but now up 4lb. Placed over C&D earlier in year; also second at Ascot latest but losing run up to 17.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -45%) Dutch Decoy		16 16/1(-45%)																															(8) Dutch Decoy 16/1, Ran to form in an ultra-competitive handicap, beaten 3l off 84 over 9f here last time. Suited by 8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, probably not soft; prospects if building on recent Cambridgeshire fifth. All five Newmarket wins on July Course but latest fifth in Cambridgeshire here creditable.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 -33%) Principality		8 8/1(-33%)																															(6) Principality 8/1, Ran to form, closing late in a messy race when beaten 2l off 89 at Goodwood last time. Effective 7/8f, acts on any ground, likes it testing; mark still fair. Won 1m Glorious Goodwood handicap and decent efforts in defeat this autumn; thereabouts.
6th	11 6th (11) (50/1 -79%) Plantadream		50 50/1(-79%)																															(11) Plantadream 50/1, Bit wide and below form when beaten 9l in a handicap at Goodwood last time. Suited by 8f, likes some give; has a bit to prove after recent disappointment. Not disgraced on first of two runs this year but lsoing run goes back to 2020.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/2 +15%) Grizedale		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(5) Grizedale 11/2, Well backed and ran to form when 2l third in a classified race at Ascot most recently. Effective 7/8f, acts on soft; fair mark and has a good attitude, longer trip suits. AW win; third (Mythical Guest second) on turf/handicap debut at Ascot latest; unexposed.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -29%) Madame De Sevigne		18 18/1(-29%)																															(7) Madame De Sevigne 18/1, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 82 at Southwell last time. Effective 7-8f, acts on soft, good to firm; respected back on turf and up in trip on recent efforts. 7f course win last autumn; second on AW last twice but nudged up to a career-high mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/2 -57%) Revelance		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(9) Revelance 11/2, Bit wide but ran to form when beaten 2l off 84 over 9f at Wolverhampton last time. Effective 7-9f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; progressive and this mark not beyond her. Form figures this year of 1123 and this low-mileage 3yo has to enter the reckoning.
10th	10 10th (10) (12/1 +14%) Where's Freddy		12 12/1(+14%)																															(10) Where's Freddy 12/1, Back to form despite a drop in trip when beaten 3l off 81 over 7f here last time; usually held up.

11th	2 11th (2) (4/1 +33%) Bopedro		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Bopedro 4/1, Bit below form when racing first away from the stands' side and beaten 4l in a handicap at Ascot last time. Effective 8-10f, acts on any ground; solid performer who needs things to drop right. Needs things to drop right (last win summer in 2023) but plenty of decent runs in 2025.

Principality finished a close fourth in a competitive handicap at Goodwood and is not out of this. Mythical Guest also has a shout on his second in a classified contest on soft going at Ascot, although the unexposed GRIZEDALE was only a neck away in third and is taken to reverse the form. The Kempton novice winner will relish better underfoot conditions on his handicap debut and could prove better than his opening mark.

Several possibilities in this useful handicap, with LINWOOD getting the nod over fellow 3yos bGrizedale\p and Principality.

1	1 1st (1) (15/8 -15%) Strong Leader		1.875 15/8(-15%)																															(1) Strong Leader 15/8, Made mistakes but returned to form when second, beaten 3l in the Ivy Liverpool Hurdle (Grade 1) over 3m1f at Aintree last time; trainer in form and sets form standard as a Grade 1 winner. Runner-up in Grade 1 at Aintree in April when last seen and holds leading claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +10%) Take No Chances		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(5) Take No Chances 9/2, The yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race; had too much to do and was never put into the race when beaten 8l in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective from 2m to 3m and an admirably consistent mare. Won mares' Grade 2 in January and this step back up in trip is well worth exploring.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -27%) Doddiethegreat		14 14/1(-27%)																															(2) Doddiethegreat 14/1, Had every chance and ran to form when second, beaten 4 1/4l in a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; Coral Cup winner previously; needs to find plenty more. In fine form in hot staying handicaps in the spring; this task demands further improvement.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -7%) Winter Fog		8 8/1(-7%)																															(4) Winter Fog 8/1, Ran to form when finishing down the field in a 2m2f handicap at Newmarket last time; best suited to small fields when ridden to pick up the pieces; danger. Perhaps not the strongest stayer but still a possible player for his top Irish stable.
3	3 |F| (3) (13/8 +28%) Potters Charm		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(3) Potters Charm 13/8, Outpaced after the second last but stayed on well when comfortably held in the Turners Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time; a stiffer test should suit and he looks the market's pick though may want slower ground. Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last term; interesting prospect for staying hurdle division.

Winter Fog posted a personal best with a surprise third in last year's Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. However, it's worth remembering the Willie Mullins-trained gelding has winning form over 3m and could be a player back up in trip. However, STRONG LEADER is a more proven stayer and the 2024 Liverpool Hurdle winner could be difficult to overhaul with his suitability for a flat galloping course lay-out assured. Take No Chances won on this card 12 months ago and is feared more than Potters Charm, who resumes after wind surgery and a 234-day break.

Class act STRONG LEADER won the Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle on last season's reappearance and is taken to make another winning return.

Effective over 2 1/2m and suited by decent ground; in good form overall. Held every chance before penultimate-fence fall at Kelso last week; ground a worry here.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +11%) Tommy Combats		4 4/1(+11%)																															(8) Tommy Combats 4/1, Well backed and ran to form back down in trip when second beaten 13l in a handicap chase over 2m1f here last time. Has fitness to prove but took pretty well to fences last season and is not fully exposed.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +52%) Visual Impact		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(2) Visual Impact 10/3, Ran to form when outpaced over a sharp enough trip, finishing second beaten 12l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time. The trainer is in form and she looks the pick on balance of form. Made the frame in all five hurdle races; contender if fully tuned up for chasing debut.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -33%) Isle Of Sark		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Isle Of Sark 6/1, Won by 5 1/2l off 107 over 2m4f at Sedgefield on his penultimate start. Improved again when just outstayed late up in trip, finishing second beaten a length off 114 last time. A definite threat. In good form over hurdles but comes with risk attached on this return to chasing.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +55%) Stylish Recruit		9 9/1(+55%)																															(9) Stylish Recruit 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Hexham last time. Cheekpieces applied for the first time. Effective at 2m, with point form suggesting further will suit, though currently out of form. Pulled up at Hexham last month and now 0-4 over fences; cheekpieces added today.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 0%) Travail D'orfevre		16 16/1(0%)																															(5) Travail D'orfevre 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here last time but generally consistent in his performances. Small-field course winner in January but ended last season with two disappointing runs.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -60%) Empty Nest		16 16/1(-60%)																															(10) Empty Nest 16/1, Below form off a revised mark when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Holds a chance if bouncing back. Dual chase winner last season; signed off with poor run; remains on career-high mark.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 -177%) Nights In Venice		18 18/1(-177%)																															(11) Nights In Venice 18/1, Well backed and not clear run when running to form, beaten 3 1/4l off 96 here last time. Has strong course form and should be in the mix. Good third over C&D (soft) at end of last season, having been hampered; had summer wind op.
6	6 |F| (6) (25/1 -79%) Heritier		25 25/1(-79%)																															(6) Heritier 25/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m at Hexham last time and looks better suited by easier ground. Holds some appeal on race times. Not firing on all cylinders towards end of last season; returns from 201-day break here.
7	7 |PU| (7) (14/1 -40%) Grand Voyage		14 14/1(-40%)																															(7) Grand Voyage 14/1, Had every chance but ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Hexham last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and returns from a break; regressive overall. Shade fortunate when winning over C&D in March but returns from break on workable mark.
3	3 |PU| (3) (14/1 +0%) High Moon		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) High Moon 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Kelso last time. Enjoys making the running but is a weak finisher. Some of his spring/summer form puts him in the picture but his last win was in 2023.
4	4 |PU| (4) (18/1 -13%) The Jeweller's Pet		18 18/1(-13%)																															(4) The Jeweller's Pet 18/1, Found the ground too quick and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Cartmel last time. Had been in good form prior to that run. Dual course winner over hurdles last season; has possibilities on chasing debut.

GRAND VOYAGE was not at his best on his latest start in June, but he looks to have his optimal conditions on this occasion. Stuart Coltherd's charge scored on soft ground over C&D in March and another strong bid is anticipated off the same mark. Isle Of Sark has been in winning form over hurdles, having scored nicely at Sedgefield last month, and he reverts to fences with a shout, while Visual Impact is one to note on her chasing bow.

Preference is for VISUAL IMPACT, who had a consistent record over hurdles and is open to improvement over fences.

Trainer is in form, acts on any ground, and his latest form has been franked; may have more to offer. Won by a neck for new yard in maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in April; brings potential.

Made a very promising debut when scoring by 4l in a maiden over 3m at Ballyragget and looks a major threat. 4l winner of an Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) in March; £190,000 buy in April.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +50%) Start Again		7 7/1(+50%)																															(3) Start Again 7/1, Improved when suited by positive handling on quick ground to win a maiden hurdle at Exeter over 2m3f by 6l last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on a sound surface, though much more is required at this higher level. Made all in a six-runner Exeter maiden (2m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; this demands more.
4	7 4th (7) (80/1 +20%) Gower Spirit		80 80/1(+20%)																															(7) Gower Spirit 80/1, Pulled up in the Grade 2 Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last time.

5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 +44%) Directly		28 28/1(+44%)																															(4) Directly 28/1, Keen and modest on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Leicester last time. Returning from a long layoff and has only an outside chance. Showed a bit of ability in bumper and novice hurdle but others have much more solid claims.

Nicky Henderson has an excellent record in this contest and he could have another exciting newcomer on his hands in the shape of SOOMAROY, an easy point-to-point winner in March, who was purchased for 190,000 pounds at the Aintree Goffs sale. The selection was given a positive mention in a recent stable tour and he is preferred to Military Alliance, who had a couple of winners behind when scoring on his first start for new connections at Hereford in April. Arriving here on a four-timer, Trustintimes is entitled to be thereabouts, as well as recent Exeter winner Start Again.

Nicky Henderson has unleashed some talented sorts in this race and his SOOMAROY may take care of the penalised hurdle winners.

1	2 1st (2) (11/4 -57%) Envoi Allen		2.75 11/4(-57%)																															(2) Envoi Allen 11/4, A nine-time Grade 1 winner who landed this race in 2022 and 2024. Ran to form but was no match for a younger classy winner when 18l third in the Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time; the pick on balance of form given good record fresh. Winner of this race in 2022 and 2024, just touched off in 2023; major player again.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +68%) Affordale Fury		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(1) Affordale Fury 9/2, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. Finished second, beaten 4 1/4l, in the PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Gowran Park last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, best at 3m; more to come over fences now he's over his issues. Gowran comeback second augurs well; return to 3m to suit but good bit more needed.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/4 +50%) Western Fold		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(7) Western Fold 9/4, From a yard that has won two of the last five runnings. Won the PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Gowran Park by 4 1/4l last time. Hugely progressive between 2 1/2m and 3m, form has been franked and he looks worth a try at the top level. Tremendously progressive 6yo novice a danger to all if ground doesn't become too soft.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +64%) Found A Fifty		2 2/1(+64%)																															(4) Found A Fifty 2/1, A dual Grade 1 winner from a yard that has won two of the last five renewals. Keen but improved back up in trip when winning the Jack McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f by 3/4l last time. Top jockey returns to ride; consistent performer but stamina to prove High-class at 2m4f, major chance of staying this longer trip.

Returning from a break and has it all to do. Useful sort for Paul Nicholls early in his career; completely out of his depth here.

Envoi Allen won this in 2022 before regaining his crown 12 months ago and the classy 11-year-old merits the utmost respect. However, dual Grade 1 winner SPILLANE'S TOWER looks the most viable alternative. He was no match for Galopin Des Champs in the Punchestown Gold Cup when last seen, but the progressive seven-year-old doesn't face as tall an order today and, if official ratings are taken at face value, he ought to go close. Improving Galway Plate hero Western Fold and his stablemate Found A Fifty complete the shortlist.

Providing the ground doesn't soften appreciably it could pay to side with the novice WESTERN FOLD

Likes Newmarket; shaped nicely last time; gets on well with Kieran Shoemark; solid chance.

Redcar winner in September but well below par next time and others appeal more.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 +18%) Expert Agent		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(3) Expert Agent 9/2, Bounced back from a poor effort when beaten 2 1/2l off 76 here last time; suited by 6f and acts on a sound surface; not one to rely on at present. C&D fifth last time wasn't a bad run; just 1lb above last winning mark so no forlorn hope.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -9%) King Of Bears		12 12/1(-9%)																															(2) King Of Bears 12/1, Below summer best when beaten 3l off 79 over 7f at Chelmsford last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on any ground; mark has eased but remains out of form. Not disgraced on AW debut last time; real possibilities if revitalised by change of stable.
6th	8 6th (8) (40/1 -100%) Court Drive		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) Court Drive 40/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 65 at Pontefract in August; below form on deep ground last time; effective at 6f and acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather; return to better ground a plus. Heavy ground perhaps to blame for last poor run; could bounce back.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 -13%) Spring Bloom		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(7) Spring Bloom 9/2, Again a bit below form when beaten 1 1/4l off 72 at Catterick last time, getting going too late; wide draw; effective at 6f and acts on any ground; down to an attractive mark and a stiffer track may suit. Newmarket regular; shaped well on stable debut when fifth at Catterick; shortlisted.
8th	4 8th (4) (11/2 -38%) Rock Opera		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(4) Rock Opera 11/2, Below form with ground probably to blame when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 6f and acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather; return to drier ground should suit. Lots of creditable efforts this year but poor last time and is on a long losing sequence.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/1 +56%) Albert Cee		11 11/1(+56%)																															(9) Albert Cee 11/1, Below form on deep ground when well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham last time; cheekpieces first time; wide draw; effective at 6-7f and acts on good to soft and all-weather; return to drier ground should help. Hasn't made the frame in seven starts this year; needs headgear to have a positive effect.

MAY BLOSSOM won at Redcar in September, but faced a tougher test on slow ground at Nottingham last time. Julie Camacho's sprinter returns to this level with solid claims in an open affair. Rock Opera has a shout off 4lb lower than when finishing a creditable third in a competitive sprint at York during the summer. Expert Agent looks on a fair mark and showed signs of a resurgence over C&D on his latest start.

Spring Bloom is well handicapped but preference is for another course regular DASHING DICK, who goes well for Kieran Shoemark.

Cheekpieces first time; likes to make the running and stays further. Won this last year but it looks a hotter contest than 12 months ago and he carries penalty.

Protektorat hasn't been tried over 3m for a couple of years but is proven over the distance at the top level and his official rating of 165 suggests he has every chance of being heavily involved. However, Paul Nicholls has his runners in fine form just now and PIC D'ORHY looks an ideal type to relish a new trip to grant his trainer a sixth winner in this prestigious event. Last year' victor The Real Whacker is another serious player with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination tried.

Protektorat has a leading shout on today's terms but preference is for DJELO, who looked seriously classy when on song last season.

DANCE THIEF was making his return when beaten only a head in last year's renewal of this race. A winner over fences back here subsequently, he could be hard to keep out of the frame off his current mark. Maple won on faster ground at Uttoxeter in May, but is versatile as regards the going and could have a say in the outcome, while the veteran Thereisnodoubt scored over C&D in March and cannot be ruled out with any confidence.

Preference is for the 4yo MAPLE, who got off the mark at Uttoxeter in May and is in good hands to continue to progress.

A tentative vote goes to FASOL, who shaped well for a long way on his return at Chepstow before weakening into fifth late on. An improver after wind surgery in January, the son of Galileo was a highly creditable third in a valuable handicap hurdle at Sandown in April and, with Freddie Keighley taking off 7lb on this occasion, he could be well treated. Raised 4lb for a taking success at Chepstow last month, Washington is a key player, as well as Welsh Champion Hurdle runner-up Alexei.

The handicapper has reacted but INDEMNITY (nap) remains a strong candidate for further improvement and can complete the four-timer.

1	3 1st (3) (8/11 +13%) Firefox		0.727273 8/11(+13%)																															(3) Firefox 8/11, The yard has landed the last three editions of this race. Improved when stepped up in trip, finishing second, beaten 4½l, in the WillowWarm Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Fairyhouse last time. Likes to race up front; top jockey returns; both speed and form selection. Smart hurdler, good run in Gr 1 when last seen in April, soft fine, 2-2 at this track.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +32%) Gorgeous Tom		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(2) Gorgeous Tom 9/4, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings. Below form when fourth, beaten 32l, in the Champion Novice Chase (Grade 1) over 3m1f at Punchestown latest. Has more to offer and worth another try at 3m. Grade 3 win at Cork last season, solid Gr 1 runs in defeat after, go well if rain misses.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +38%) Croke Park		4 4/1(+38%)																															(1) Croke Park 4/1, Winner of two Grade 1s; the yard has taken this race for the last three years. Needed the run when 16l third in the BetVictor Chase (Grade 3) over 2m7f at Punchestown last time. Likes to race prominently and is effective from 2½–3m; should improve for that reappearance. Smart novice form last year, below best on return at Punchestown, Kennedy deserts.
4	5 4th (5) (80/1 +20%) Rockstown Girl		80 80/1(+20%)																															(5) Rockstown Girl 80/1, Not far off her best when second, beaten 3l, in a novice chase over 2m2f at Cork last time. The trainer is in form. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground, but she runs out of her grade in this. Beaten by a 108-rated rival in a Cork novice latest, this looks too demanding.

Returns from a long layoff and faces a tough task here. 0-15 and rated 82 over fences, out of his depth in this company.

FIREFOX couldn't get his head in front after making a winning debut over fences at this meeting 12 months ago, but he ran well in defeat plenty of times. That includes a close third to the reopposing Croke Park in the Drinmore and he is 10lb better off with that rival here. The seven-year-old is heavily favoured at these weights and he should be capable of taking advantage. Gorgeous Tom could also reverse the Drinmore form with Croke Park and pose the biggest threat to the selection.

FIREFOX won a beginners' over C&D first time out last season and he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record at this venue

Effective from 8–12f and acts on heavy or good ground. Should handle this drop in trip and has more to come. Edged out in 1m4f French Listed on just third start; more to come and leading claims.

Cheekpieces on for the first time. Effective at 9–10f on any ground. Not at his best lately but runner-up last year.

Cheekpieces fitted for the first time after a long absence. Effective from 8–12f and acts on heavy or good to soft; faces stiff task here.

In good form beforehand. Effective at 9–10f on any surface but best on sound ground. Needs more dropped in trip and raised in grade.

GETHIN looked to be an exciting prospect when landing two novice events, including a ready defeat of the smart Saddadd at Newbury in April, and he confirmed that promise when touched off in a Listed event at Saint-Cloud in September. Given the amount of time off he had before that, Owen Burrows' colt is entitled to improve and he can return to winning ways. Last year's winner Bolster cannot be discounted, although connections may have a stronger chance with Liberty Lane following his respectable effort in the Darley Stakes here.

This Listed event looks a good chance for progressive 3yo GETHIN (nap) to take the next step up the ladder.

5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +25%) Inappropriate		9 9/1(+25%)																															(6) Inappropriate 9/1, Disappointing on flat return when beaten 8l in a 10f handicap at Newcastle last time; second run after wind operation; has a small chance. Took well to hurdles last term with two wins; fit from Flat and may not have reached limit.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +27%) Kientzheim		16 16/1(+27%)																															(3) Kientzheim 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time, the race possibly coming too soon; has a bit to find. Looked promising at Kempton on Boxing Day but disappointing since; debut for new stable.
9	9 |F| (9) (4/1 +20%) Pure Gold		4 4/1(+20%)																															(9) Pure Gold 4/1, Travelled well and did it readily when improving again to land a handicap by 7l off 102 at Hexham last time; usually held up; suited by 2m on a sound surface and remains progressive. Has won three of last four; had plenty in hand at Hexham and 8lb rise does not look harsh.

Go Dante ended his last campaign with a win in the Imperial Cup at Sandown and the nine-year-old has to be respected on his return. That said, preference is for DON'T MIND IF I DO, who makes his handicap debut after three promising starts in maiden/novice hurdles last season and a mark of 120 should be workable for Alan King's gelding. Others to note in a competitive event are Pure Gold, Half A Chance and Max Of Stars.

The one with the most potential is DON'T MIND IF I DO (nap). Alan King's lightly raced 5yo can make his handicap debut a winning one.

Four-time C&D winner but he needs a big turnaround back on AW.

Both wins on Tapeta and he had a near miss here (12.4f) on stable debut; shortlisted.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +39%) King Chaos		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(1) King Chaos 11/2, Below form when stepped back up in trip, finishing down the field in a 12f handicap at Southwell last time; tongue-tie applied for the first time; off a short break; best over 10-12f; remains out of form. 0-10 in handicaps and was last of 12 at Southwell last time; equipment returns.

Unexposed 3yo but he returns after a break and needs a transformation on handicap debut.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 +20%) Alpine Sierra		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Alpine Sierra 8/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 5l in an 8f handicap here last time; top course jockey booked; effective from 7-10f; fair mark and goes well over this C&D.

6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -52%) Very Muddy Waters		50 50/1(-52%)																															(5) Very Muddy Waters 50/1, Well below form when back down in trip, finishing down the field in an 8f handicap at Nottingham last time; effective at 8-9f; back up in trip with headgear removed.

7th	6 7th (6) (15/2 -36%) Rubellite		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(6) Rubellite 15/2, Ran to form despite not getting a clear run when third, beaten 3l off 61 last time; from a top course trainer; effective 11-16f; in form though the drop in trip may not suit. Six-time Tapeta winner and has claims if she gets a good pace back at this trip.
8th	11 8th (11) (33/1 -136%) Bouboule		33 33/1(-136%)																															(11) Bouboule 33/1, Comfortably held in a juvenile hurdle last time but showed solid Flat form last time seen on the level in August; appears suited by AW and 12f. Ten-race maiden who is with another new yard and may be more potent over longer trips.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -177%) Jam Lass		18 18/1(-177%)																															(2) Jam Lass 18/1, Ran to form when stepping up in trip and scoring by 1/2l off a mark of 60 at Redcar last time; effective from 8-10f; 4lb rise looks fair with more to come. Improved form upped to 1m2f when beating a clear second at Redcar; big player again up 4lb.
10th	4 10th (4) (13/2 +0%) Falcon Nine		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(4) Falcon Nine 13/2, Ran to form when staying on from a steady pace to finish third, beaten 3 1/2l off 62 last time; suited by 9-10f; in good form and would benefit from a stronger gallop. Record of 4321133 since the blinkers went on and that latest third was over C&D; respected.

Has turned things around with creditable efforts here last twice; in the mix back in trip.
12th	12 12th (12) (50/1 -25%) Tracker Issue		50 50/1(-25%)																															(12) Tracker Issue 50/1, Again below form when comfortably held in a 12f handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective around 10f but yet to shine for new yard and AW remains a doubt. Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in all five handicaps; opposable.
13th	7 13th (7) (22/1 -175%) Royal Blaze		22 22/1(-175%)																															(7) Royal Blaze 22/1, Won by 1 1/4l off 57 here on his penultimate start; below form when failing to pick up from off the pace last time; effective from 7-10f; needs to bounce back after a disappointing C&D effort. Won over C&D in September but he flopped on return visit 18 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Narrowly denied over further here on his first start for the Jim Goldie stable last month, EDUCATE should be suited to dropping back in trip and he can strike off a 2lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of the unexposed Jam Lass, who has been raised 4lb for her first victory at Redcar. Alpine Sierra and Falcon Nine are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The vote goes to FALCON NINE (nap), who has a record of 4321133 with blinkers and that latest third was in a Class 5 over C&D.

1	3 1st (3) (7/4 +61%) Ruby Island		1.75 7/4(+61%)																															(3) Ruby Island 7/4, Finished second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a beginners' chase over 2m at Carlisle last time; best at around 2 1/2m and should benefit from that chase debut reappearance, so the step up in trip looks worthwhile. Hurdles win last season came here; solid chase debut when second at Carlisle; considered.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 -100%) From The Clouds		14 14/1(-100%)																															(2) From The Clouds 14/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; with the trainer in form and returning from a very lengthy absence, remains a contender. Lightly raced 8yo; 2-3 on completed starts over hurdles; has potential as a chaser.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 -100%) Walking On A Dream		4.5 9/2(-100%)																															(4) Walking On A Dream 9/2, Pulled up in the Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) over 2m at Haydock last time; with the trainer in form and returning from a long layoff, he is not out of it. Lightly raced chase debutant with similar profile to stablemate From The Clouds; respected.

5	5 |PU| (5) (11/4 +8%) My Kiwi Girl		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(5) My Kiwi Girl 11/4, Ran to form when outclassing rivals down in grade to win a maiden hurdle here over 2m by 13l last time; should be a contender again. Progressive over hurdles, winning here in March; should be at least as good over fences.

Surrey Belle won over hurdles at Hexham in June before following up on the level here in September and merits respect now chasing. That said, MY KIWI GIRL is preferred. Nick Alexander's mare broke her maiden in fine style here in March, but the former point winner is bred to appreciate a switch to fences and is taken to launch a strong challenge. Walking On A Dream was pulled up in the Grade 2 Rossington Main when last seen but has much less on his plate on this occasion.

Slight preference is for MY KIWI GIRL who progressed nicely over hurdles last term and should be at least as effective over fences.

2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) The Changing Man		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(4) The Changing Man 7/2, Below form after making too much use of trying to go with the winner when 23l third in the Mildmay Novice Chase (Grade 1) over 3m1f at Aintree most recently; consistent performer in high end handicaps; every chance. Tough, consistent (in strong contests) and much respected despite a challenging mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +71%) Blow Your Wad		3.5 7/2(+71%)																															(5) Blow Your Wad 7/2, Made mistakes but was well backed and ran to form when beaten 5 1/2l in the Silver Trophy Handicap Chase (Grade 2) over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time; visor on first time; trainer in form; contender if stamina holds up. Lightly raced since his Grade 2 honours; had wind op; stamina for 3m unproven.
4	13 4th (13) (22/1 -57%) Snipe		22 22/1(-57%)																															(13) Snipe 22/1, Ran to current form when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Kelso latest; ideally wants 3m and is in fair form. Useful on his day but those days tend to be at a lower level than this.
5th	11 5th (11) (17/2 -21%) Neon Moon		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(11) Neon Moon 17/2, Keen but every chance when finishing a bit below form, fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest; inconsistent performer. Ran well for a long way on final appearance in Uttoxeter's Staffordshire Plate.
6th	1 6th (1) (33/1 -32%) Two For Gold		33 33/1(-32%)																															(1) Two For Gold 33/1, Loves the track and is on a good mark. Wanted a stiffer test and benefitted from a drop in grade when beaten 3 1/4l off 147 here last time; interesting at a price Loves Ascot but it goes against the grain trends-wise to row in with a 12yo carrying 12st.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 +36%) Coastguard Station		16 16/1(+36%)																															(12) Coastguard Station 16/1, On last winning mark and improved on recent efforts when stepped up in trip under a patient ride to win a handicap by 8l off 123 over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time; needs a sound surface and has to be played late.

Assured stayer who might hang around for some place money but others are more intriguing.
10	10 |U| (10) (18/1 +10%) Courtland		18 18/1(+10%)																															(10) Courtland 18/1, Ran to form but was just outstayed late up in trip when second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap chase at Chepstow; best around 2 1/2m and thrown in on old form; can win off this mark.

Kept on for third in the 2m5f Summer Plate and looks well worth another go over this far.
9	9 |PU| (9) (12/1 +14%) Beachcomber		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Beachcomber 12/1, Ran to form when 13l third in the Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase (Listed) at Punchestown on latest run; progressive and capable of better.

An open contest that could go the way of NEON MOON. David Pipe's charge had an indifferent campaign last season, but he was third in this race from 6lb higher 12 months ago and would appear to hold solid credentials under ideal conditions. Reynoldstown winner The Changing Man was a model of consistency last term and merits the utmost respect, while although a 12-year-old now, Two For Gold should not be underestimated.

Henry De Bromhead is happy to go again over 3m with LE COQ HARDI and his fourth in the Kerry National is looking strong form.

Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Poet's Word gelding, dam unraced, tongue tied for debut and best watched.

Gordon Elliott has won nine of the last 10 renewals and can strike again, with his expensive point-to-point recruits WITH NOLIMIT and Ballyfad standing out as the most plausible contenders. The latter was a visually impressive winner on the Fairyhouse point-to-point course in April and must be taken seriously. However, the former's 10-length romp in a similar event at Liscarroll is hard to ignore and he shades it as the pick of the Gigginstown Stud-owned pair. The fellow point winner, Dubhain, is another to keep a close eye on.

Gordon Elliott runs With Nolimit and BALLYFAD and narrow preference is for the latter, though the market should reveal plenty

Suited by 7f or 8f and acts on any ground. Consistent overall, and a return to turf is a plus. Two 7f wins on turf; in good form on grass this autumn; excuses when fifth on AW latest.

4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +27%) Signcastle City		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(3) Signcastle City 11/2, Ran a little below best when dropped in trip and beaten 3l off 81 at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 7f and 8f and acts on soft and good to firm ground. Slightly out of form but down again in the weights. 0-12 this year but plenty of decent efforts and he's back on last successful mark.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 -50%) Silver Trumpet		6 6/1(-50%)																															(1) Silver Trumpet 6/1, Wide trip but ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l off a mark of 78 last time. Effective at 7f and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground. Bit more needed, up 2lb from last time. Win and second over 7f at Epsom in recent starts and yard among the winners; player.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +21%) Tropez Power		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Tropez Power 11/1, Again below his spring best when up in trip, beaten 3l off 70 over 8f at Leicester last time. Effective at 7f and 8f and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground. Showing hints of a return to form. Not disgraced on turf last twice but has a better strike-rate on AW.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/2 +61%) Onemorenomore		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(9) Onemorenomore 11/2, Not far off his recent best despite deep ground when beaten 6l in a Doncaster handicap last time. Effective at 6f and 7f and acts on any ground, preferring some give. Mark continues to slide and this ground should suit better. Better signs when third on AW last month but never involved at Doncaster last weekend.

Effective at 7f and acts on good ground. Needs to settle now handicapping from a tough mark. Improved third in 7f Leicester novice 18 days ago but opening mark looks tough.

The consistent Vixey has to be respected and is likely to be in the mix once again, although marginal preference is for SILVER TRUMPET. The four-year-old bounced back to form when a close second at Epsom and a 2lb rise should not prevent another bold bid. Lady Mariko edges out Signcastle City and Tropez Power to be best of the rest.

The consistent VIXEY has been a real flagbearer for Simon West this year and might be good for another win.

Effective over 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and generally consistent. Not easy to win with but scored twice last winter and could improve for October outing.
4	4 |PU| (4) (11/1 +21%) East Street		11 11/1(+21%)																															(4) East Street 11/1, Found out in stronger company when down the field in a 3m1f handicap chase at Carlisle most recently. Looks the pick on race times. Hat-trick towards end of last year; disappointing since but a break may have helped.

Plenty with chances, but none more so than RIBEYE after his success over 3m at Hexham last month. The veteran had plenty in hand that day and can defy a 5lb rise to add another victory to his record. Red Delta has also won impressively in recent weeks and remains open to improvement, while Wa Wa edges out Halpha Soleil and Yes Day to be pick of the remainder.

Former pointer RED DELTA won in good style at Sedgefield a fortnight ago and this 6yo can follow up.

Two promising efforts this autumn and he's in the mix back up in trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (80/1 -300%) Al Muddy		80 80/1(-300%)																															(1) Al Muddy 80/1, Koropick gelding; half-brother to Harperelle, useful at 5f as a 2yo; dam fair at 12f. Half-brother to three winners but makes belated debut as a 5yo; best watched.

BLOODSWEATANDTYRES caught the eye on debut over C&D in September when running on well in third, despite taking a keen hold. Brian Ellison's looks the one to beat if settling better on this occasion and it may be the consistent Shamacid that gives him the most to think about, having finished runner-up on three of his last four outings, including over 6f here. Pension Pot is another who has shown promise on both career outings and he cannot be ruled out.

Preference is for SHAMACID, who has a record of 2232 on Tapeta since August and sets a good standard on his best form.

1	6 1st (6) (13/2 -8%) Buzz Iceclear		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) Buzz Iceclear 13/2, Ran to form but may prefer a bit further when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Carlisle last time; returning from a long layoff and a contender. Placed over 2m1f in one of his qualifying races; hiked up in trip for handicap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -100%) Themanintheboots		8 8/1(-100%)																															(1) Themanintheboots 8/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Tipperary most recently; best at 3m on a sound surface.

On a long losing run but has conditions to suit and makes seasonal debut from good mark.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -43%) Red Ned		40 40/1(-43%)																															(8) Red Ned 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso last time; effective at 2m with cut but yet to prove up to this mark. Pulled up on seasonal debut but ran well to a point and might have needed the outing.
8th	3 8th (3) (4/1 +64%) Half Track		4 4/1(+64%)																															(3) Half Track 4/1, Needed the run and may have found the ground too quick when well beaten in a handicap chase at Perth last time. Gained only win in 2021; back hurdling after disappointing chase run on seasonal debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (7/2 +36%) Snowrocco		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(4) Snowrocco 7/2, Well backed and beaten 4l off a mark of 94 at Wetherby last time; with the trainer in good form and capable of better. Runner-up in new tongue-tie in March; summer wind op may enable further progress.

A chance can be taken on GUERNESEY, who was far from disgraced in a competitive series final at Musselburgh when last seen in March. It's been a while in between drinks for Jackie Stephen's gelding, but his handicap mark is reflective of that and having gone well fresh previously, he should not be discounted. Be The Difference kept on into third over 2m5f at Kelso most recently so must be of interest returned to further, while Didntgotwenty appeals most of the remainder.

The return to this C&D will suit BE THE DIFFERENCE, who posted a good effort at Kelso four weeks ago and remains on a workable mark.

Warwick winner; has to concede weight to unexposed rivals but clearly a contender.

HITINTHEHEADLINES made a fine impression between the flags in Ireland back in February, strolling home 14 lengths clear of his nearest rival, and he looks a nice prospect for Dan Skelton. Saint Invictus and Run Away Joe also showed a good level of ability in point-to-points and should be considered, while Bathara and Dartmouth Jet have already proven they can win in his sphere. It's worth keeping an eye on the market where newcomer Governors Island is concerned.

The betting can compile a pecking order. RUN AWAY JOE finished his final Irish point on the front foot and he earns narrow preference.

1	4 1st (4) (6/4 +40%) Bird Of War		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(4) Bird Of War 6/4, Too keen and slightly below form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a nursery at Leicester on latest start after being upped in trip. Trainer in form; effective at 7f; competitive mark if suited by the return to this surface. Eyecatching fourth at Leicester (1m, good) last time and he's respected back on AW.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +6%) Mr Nippy		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(5) Mr Nippy 15/2, Below form when beaten 6l in a nursery at Leicester last time when stepping up in trip. Bred for 8f and further; yet to show much but down in the weights and still early in his career. Has striking pedigree but he's not progressed so far and was behind Bird Of War last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +17%) Popty Ping		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(1) Popty Ping 10/3, Below form when beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery over 7f here last time after not getting a clear run from off the pace. Effective at 6f and 7f; inconsistent in a short career and trying 8f for the first time. 0-6 but mark is falling and she has shaped as though this new trip could suit.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -125%) Hood Wink		18 18/1(-125%)																															(7) Hood Wink 18/1, Below form and didn't stay when comfortably held in a nursery over 10f here last time on a new surface. Effective at 8f; more needed back down in trip. Went close at Redcar and 1m2f may have stretched him here last time; not ruled out.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +18%) Supreme Dancer		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(2) Supreme Dancer 9/2, Below form but with excuses when beaten 5l in a nursery at Leicester last time. Had been in good form before that and comes from a top course trainer. Effective at 7f and 8f; competitive mark if handling this surface. 0-10 but runner-up in two of his last four runs and he's in the mix on AW debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 -80%) Onyeisi		6 6/1(-80%)																															(3) Onyeisi 6/1, Ran to a similar modest level when fourth beaten 6l in a novice over 6f at Wolverhampton last time after dropping to sprinting. Speedily bred and could do better up to 8f for the first time on handicap debut. Unexposed colt and he's a possible improver upped to 1m on nursery debut; yard runs two.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -186%) Ubettabehave		40 40/1(-186%)																															(6) Ubettabehave 40/1, Below form when stretched by 8f on soft ground and finished down the field in a nursery at Bath most recently. Wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 8f; bounce back needed switched to this surface. Beaten 8l or more in five of his six runs and others are more convincing; hood added.

BIRD OF WAR didn't do himself any favours when slowly away at Leicester last month, but he still made late headway to finish fourth. With the promise of improvement to come, he may be able to break the maiden at the sixth time of asking. Onyeisi appears best placed to chase the selection home on his nursery debut as he goes up in trip. Hood Wink would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second at Redcar in September.

The vote goes to BIRD OF WAR, who was an eyecatcher when favourite at Leicester last month and should have more to offer at this trip.

Drawn wide; suited by 7f and acts on the all-weather. Needs more off the same mark in second-time blinkers. Not kicked on this year but down in the weights and the drop to 6f looks worth exploring.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 -56%) Pit Boss		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Pit Boss 25/1, Below form when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Drawn wide; effective at 6/7f.

4	9 4th (9) (33/1 -500%) East Tyrone		33 33/1(-500%)																															(9) East Tyrone 33/1, Back on form when ridden from the front, beaten 3 1/4l off 56 here last time. Suited by 6f and acts on the all-weather. Needs a bit more on recent evidence. Didn't progress for Kevin Ryan; latest run slightly more promising; sold £2,000 since.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +72%) Mu Mu Land		5 5/1(+72%)																															(4) Mu Mu Land 5/1, Well below form when stepped up to 8f, finishing down the field in a Kempton handicap. Effective at 6/7f and acts on a sound surface. Mark still high but drop to sprinting is a plus. C&D maiden winner as 2yo; little joy in handicaps in 2025; others look more persuasive.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 -78%) Atomic Mass		4 4/1(-78%)																															(6) Atomic Mass 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 60 at Southwell last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on the all-weather. In form and another good run looks likely after a small rise. Runner-up at Southwell on last two starts; current wellbeing a major plus in this field.
7th	2 7th (2) (4/1 -45%) Macedonian		4 4/1(-45%)																															(2) Macedonian 4/1, Produced best effort since summer despite not getting the best of runs when beaten 1l off 68 here last time. Ridden by a top course jockey and usually held up. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather; inconsistent but ran well over C&D from this mark latest. Inconsistent but a repeat of last month's close fourth over C&D would give him claims.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 -17%) Joshuas Dream		14 14/1(-17%)																															(5) Joshuas Dream 14/1, Needed the race when down the field in a 5f handicap at Ayr last time. Effective at 5f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to prove he has trained on. Well held on September's seasonal/handicap debut; new trip/surface today.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -355%) Nordic Games		50 50/1(-355%)																															(7) Nordic Games 50/1, Made no impact dropped in trip in a reapplied hood when beaten 7l in a Southwell handicap last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on the all-weather. Inconsistent but mark is fair if bouncing back. Best form for Stuart Williams gives him claims; needs to step up on recent stable debut.

Atomic Mass has finished second on each of his last two starts and is due a change of luck, but a tendency to race keenly continues to be an issue in the closing stages. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on MACEDONIAN. Held up in rear before finishing strongly to grab fourth over C&D latest, he looks to have a real chance from an unchanged mark, especially given the likely pace on show. East Tyrone is another to consider.

Atomic Mass is greatly respected but the drop to 6f could be a good move for KIRKDALE and he is tentatively preferred.

Effective at 6f and likes this course and distance; mark is easing which may help on the all-weather. Seven wins between December and May; quiet more recently; others appeal more.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -50%) Grandlad		12 12/1(-50%)																															(2) Grandlad 12/1, Won by a neck off 82 at Doncaster three starts back; below form when upset in the stalls and stopped quickly last time.

Effective at 5f and 6f, though has a bit to prove off this mark. Conditions to suit but he was disappointing over C&D on Monday; capable of bouncing back.

Effective at 5f and 6f, suited by the all-weather, and has a fair mark if building on that latest effort. Enigmatic character but talented and ran well here on Monday; high on the list.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -233%) Cressida Wildes		20 20/1(-233%)																															(3) Cressida Wildes 20/1, Ran to form from off the pace when beaten 3l off 81 at Yarmouth last time; trainer in good form. Suited by 5f and just gets an easy 6f; should be helped by a return to the all-weather. Two 5f wins this year; creditable efforts the last twice; should give her running again.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -178%) Water Of Leith		25 25/1(-178%)																															(7) Water Of Leith 25/1, Again below his spring form when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5f and 6f and probably acts on any surface, but form has dipped and he has something to prove turned out quickly. Conditions to suit; didn't shine in three runs last month; type to pop up soon.

Suited by 5f and a sound surface, and could bounce back on the all-weather. Had a good year, winning thrice on turf, and effective over C&D; disappointing last time.

MONDAMMEJ had been in the doldrums for some time before returning to form when beaten a neck over C&D on Monday. Anthony Brittain's charge should take all the beating if performing to a similar level. That being said, Monks Dream (sixth) was sent off as the favourite in the same contest and is capable of going close if racing more amenably. The class-dropping Brummell should not be underestimated either.

Monks Dream is better than he showed on Monday but MONDAMMEJ finished in front of him and may do so again

4	7 4th (7) (8/1 -45%) Jewel Maker		8 8/1(-45%)																															(7) Jewel Maker 8/1, Scored by a neck off 66 over 10f at Redcar on his penultimate start. Below form after having a wide trip last time. Usually held up. Effective from 8-10f and acts on all-weather. Better than the result latest, and the slight drop in trip is a plus.

Effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather. Below best of late, with others appearing stronger. Inconsistent and finished down the field on his stable debut two weeks ago.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/5 +70%) Sea Legend		3.6 18/5(+70%)																															(3) Sea Legend 18/5, Better than the result suggests when back up in trip, beaten 5 1/4l in a 10f handicap here last time. Ridden by a top course jockey. Effective at 10/11f and acts on all-weather. In poor form this term and looks vulnerable off this mark. Latest effort (1m2f here) was eyecatching but dropping to 1m is not sure to be of benefit.

Jewel Maker proved he remains as enthusiastic as ever when registering his 12th career success with a win over 1m2f at Redcar on his penultimate start. Back on the all-weather from just 2lb higher, the Tim Easterby-trained veteran, who is a previous C&D winner, shouldn't be underestimated. However, SONG N DANCE is far less exposed and, hot on the heels of a comfortable success in a novices' event at Leicester, he looks worth following on his handicap debut. The well-bred Why Because is another handicapping newcomer to consider.

A trappy event in which tactics could play a part. The unexposed WHY BECAUSE is tentatively preferred to Forest Caper.

On the downgrade for Julie Camacho; lowly mark for stable debut but risky.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -43%) Sugar Baby		10 10/1(-43%)																															(1) Sugar Baby 10/1, Showed his best form since summer when landing a handicap by a neck off 68 at Redcar last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f; may prove vulnerable off his new mark. Conditions should be fine and a 2lb rise for last month's Redcar win is fair enough.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -20%) Dandy Dinmont		12 12/1(-20%)																															(7) Dandy Dinmont 12/1, Ran to form when third beaten 1/2l off 67 last time; effective at 5/6f; mark remains competitive and should be fine back on the all-weather. Useful 5f form here earlier in his career; running well on turf since August; shortlisted.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +67%) Judgment Call		3 3/1(+67%)																															(3) Judgment Call 3/1, Back to form when beaten 1/2l off 66 over 7f here last time; enjoys making the running; signs of better form latest and respected tried sprinting again. Back to form when 2nd over 7f here five weeks ago; 3lb higher and down in trip; opposable.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 -17%) The Green Man		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(5) The Green Man 7/2, Nicely on top late from off the pace when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 65 here last time; wide draw; effective at 6/7f; remains well treated on old form and a hat-trick is possible. Two C&D wins this autumn; up in weights but still has handicapping scope; respected.
6th	12 6th (12) (50/1 +0%) Neapolitan		50 50/1(+0%)																															(12) Neapolitan 50/1, Below form again when finding little and beaten 9l in a 7f handicap here last time; effective at 6/7f; mark has fallen and now back sprinting in new headgear combination.

7th	4 7th (4) (13/2 +35%) Showtime Mahomes		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(4) Showtime Mahomes 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off 70 at Redcar last time; wide draw; effective at 5-6f; running okay but needs more off current mark. Chance on this year's best efforts but suspicion one or two will have his measure tonight.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/1 +18%) Beelzebub		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Beelzebub 9/1, Well backed and returned to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 69 at Southwell last time; off a short break; effective at 6/7f; on a fair mark and likes it here, headgear removed for stable debut. C&D winner; feasible mark on AW and one to consider on his stable debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 -50%) Fletchers Dream		18 18/1(-50%)																															(9) Fletchers Dream 18/1, Scored by 3/4l off 60 here on his penultimate start but ran a bit below form in reapplied blinkers last time; effective at 6/7f; return to this venue in a visor should suit. Three C&D wins but down the field at Wolverhampton latest; others appeal more.
10th	13 10th (13) (50/1 -25%) Penny Mountain		50 50/1(-25%)																															(13) Penny Mountain 50/1, Below maiden form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; effective at 6f; still has a good bit to prove in handicaps. Recent stable debut here wasn't without hope but this race might prove too competitive.
11th	11 11th (11) (9/1 +36%) Profiteer		9 9/1(+36%)																															(11) Profiteer 9/1, A little below form again when never a threat after a slow start, beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6f; slowly easing in the weights and had excuses latest. 0-12 this year but latest Pontefract run was positive; dam an AW winner; new headgear.
12th	14 12th (14) (28/1 -250%) Quercus		28 28/1(-250%)																															(14) Quercus 28/1, Improved again when dominating from the front to land a handicap by 2l off 60 at Catterick last time; enjoys making the running; off a short break; effective at 6f; goes well at Catterick but also fine here and well treated on this surface. Better on turf but has won over C&D and in fine form on turf when last seen.
13th	6 13th (6) (15/2 +53%) Harb		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(6) Harb 15/2, Ran to form though never a win threat when sixth beaten 5l off 68 last time; suited by 5/6f; still appears a little high in the weights.

THE GREEN MAN has won two of his three starts since joining Philip Kirby and although those success came in 0-60 handicaps over this course and distance, the revitalised six-year-old is still feasibly treated, despite stepping up in class on his hat-trick bid. The in-form Quercus, Dandy Dinmont and Sugar Baby are other course winners with strong chances, while Beelzebub also goes well here and merits close inspection debuting for Gemma Tuffy from 4lb below his last winning mark.

A warm sprint for the grade. The Green Man isn't taken on lightly but PROFITEER is on a good mark for his AW debut.

1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +36%) Jesmond Dawn		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(7) Jesmond Dawn 7/2, Below form after a slightly wide trip when down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh last time, but had been in good form before. Effective at 7/8f and acts on AW. Capable of being competitive if rebounding. Well held latest; unexposed on AW and weighted to go well on best C&D form in 2024.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +5%) Travis		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(3) Travis 10/3, Had the run of the race and ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 64 over 8f here last time. Effective from 6-8f, probably better at the latter, and acts on any surface. Reliable type who can be involved again. Won at 7f on turf in July; 0-7 on AW but running well over 1m here; close up back at 7f.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -60%) Jkr Cobbler		4 4/1(-60%)																															(4) Jkr Cobbler 4/1, Well placed and ran to form when third, beaten 6 1/4l off 65 last time. Effective at 7f and acts on AW, though suited by give underfoot. In form and no issues returning to this C&D. Won over 7f at Ayr in September; just 3lb higher than the 2nd of two C&D wins last autumn.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -32%) Wait For It		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Wait For It 33/1, Again below form when fitted with a first-time hood and finished down the field in a 6f handicap at Hamilton. Effective at 7f and acts on AW, having run well on one previous AW start in Ireland. Useful 2nd at Dundalk (7f, AW) as 2yo; not gone on in turf handicaps since; Tapeta debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +42%) Swiss Ace		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(1) Swiss Ace 7/2, Again below form when never involved from off a steady pace, beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 7/8f and probably best on a sound surface. Needs to prove more after a poor run last time but a better pace may help. Three C&D wins; well handicapped on course form early in 2025; shaped nicely latest.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +0%) Cooperation		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Cooperation 5/1, Back to form when picking up well off the pace, beaten 3l off 63 over 8f here last time. Has the top course jockey on board. Effective at 7/8f and acts on AW. Workable mark if building on latest effort. First 7f win (turf) in May; 1-22 on AW but unlucky in his sole C&D run, in September.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 -57%) Yaahobby		11 11/1(-57%)																															(8) Yaahobby 11/1, Better down in trip when picking up well off the pace with hood removed, beaten a length off 45 here last time. Usually held up. Effective at 7/8f with all recent form on AW. Winless in a year and a slightly higher mark to overcome. Two C&D wins last autumn; back in better form following wind op when 3rd over C&D latest.

JKR COBBLER bounced back to form with a win at Ayr in September before finishing well ahead of a subsequent winner when third at the same venue most recently. Having also scored over C&D around this time last year, there is plenty to like about the Iain Jardine-trained six-year-old's chance. Fellow track-and-trip winner Yaahobby hinted at a revival on his return after wind surgery last time and looks another key player. Travis is the pick of the rest.

Swiss Ace is well handicapped on his best C&D form but COOPERATION was unlucky on his only C&D attempt and can gain compensation.

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.
