12:00 Fairyhouse Maiden Chase 25f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (2/5 +64%) Croke Park	0.4 2/5(+64%)	(2) Croke Park 2/5, Winning pointer who, having shaped well in a bumper, created a good impression in landing his first 2 starts over hurdles. Disappointed upped in grade next 2 starts but remains a good chasing prospect. Grade 3 novice winner over timber, preferred by Kennedy, the one to beat if handles ground.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 -45%) Iris Emery	8 8/1(-45%)	(5) Iris Emery 8/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Fell in novice chase (9/4) at Tramore (22.8f, good) 48 days ago. Won here over hurdles, fell two out when leading at Tramore on latest, place claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 +0%) Mister Beeton	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Mister Beeton 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/2, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22.8f, good) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. Tough ask. Two-time hurdles winner, trip and ground fine for chasing debut, can't discount.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +50%) Sequestered	4 4/1(+50%)	(4) Sequestered 4/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Promising fourth of 12 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 9 days ago. May well do better. Won on good over hurdles, shaped like this trip might suit on latest, interesting.

Jack Kennedy returns from suspension and might get straight back into the winning groove on CROKE PARK. The point-to-point winner landed a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan just under a year ago before being found wanting a couple of times at the highest level. He's unproven on a sound surface, so hopefully there's enough juice in the ground for him to take his chance. Gordon Elliott also has Cleatus Poolaw in here and he, too, is a winning pointer who was a useful hurdler last term. Iris Emery had jumped better when stepped up in trip at Tramore before crumpling on landing when in front two out, while Sequestered was a creditable fourth at Galway last time.

CROKE PARK might have disappointed in a couple of Grade 1 hurdles at the end of last season but he's a strapping chasing type who could well have a good season in this sphere. His stablemate Cleatus Poolaw was also useful over hurdles despite not being as highly tried, so may emerge as the main threat ahead of Sequestered.

A chance is taken on SEQUESTERED. He's fit, he has won on good ground and he shaped like this trip might suit at Galway last time.

12:15 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (16/5 +54%) Magellan Cloud	3.2 16/5(+54%)	(7) Magellan Cloud 16/5, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in maiden at York (7.9f, heavy, 9/1) 24 days ago. Should progress and he's likely to be on the premises. Drops back in trip after finishing third in quite valuable 1m York maiden last month.
2	4 2nd (4) (22/1 -38%) El Pinto	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) El Pinto 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 16 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, soft, 200/1) on debut 11 days ago. May well do better here with that experience to draw upon. Respectable fifth of 16 when 200-1 for recent Doncaster debut; each-way claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +50%) Wizard Of Odds	6 6/1(+50%)	(2) Wizard Of Odds 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Down Royal in July. First run since leaving Charles O'Brien when tenth of 14 in nursery at Dundalk (7f, 15/2) 18 days ago. Looks vulnerable under a penalty. Won Down Royal maiden in July and has a good chance here if handling the slower ground.
4	1 4th (1) (1/1 -37%) Binhareer	1 1/1(-37%)	(1) Binhareer 1/1, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 10/11, won 11-runner novice at this C&D (good to soft) 31 days ago, readily. Open to further improvement and he's the one to beat. Readily won similar race to this over C&D last month; obvious contender under penalty.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -54%) Lord Capulet	10 10/1(-54%)	(6) Lord Capulet 10/1, Foaled May 8. Make Believe colt. Half-brother to St James's Palace Stakes/Irish 2000 Guineas winner Rosallion. Yard can ready a newcomer and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say about this well-bred colt. Half-brother to owner's top-class 3yo miler Rosallion; an interesting newcomer.
6th	11 6th (11) (80/1 -142%) Yorkshire Myth	80 80/1(-142%)	(11) Yorkshire Myth 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago. Likely to improve, especially when eventually venturing down the handicap route. Just a modest fourth on recent debut and probably one for further down the line.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -150%) Big Alex Walmsley	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Big Alex Walmsley 125/1, Foaled February 21. Oasis Dream colt. Brother to 1m/8.3f winner Dream Pirate and half-brother to 5f-7f winner Arguia. Dam once-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Love Roi. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. Brother to a fair 1m winner; has fairly useful standard to reach on debut.
8th	10 8th (10) (200/1 -506%) Taylormade Lad	200 200/1(-506%)	(10) Taylormade Lad 200/1, Foaled May 2. Gregorian gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Sesame Birah and half-brother to 1½m winner Make Us Proud. Market should point the way. Brother to a Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner but considered only if lively in the betting.
9th	5 9th (5) (250/1 -279%) Launceston	250 250/1(-279%)	(5) Launceston 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f, 200/1) 14 days ago. Almost certainly more one for middle distance handicaps next season. Yet to show any significant promise after four starts (6f-7f).
10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 -108%) Noble Force	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Noble Force 25/1, Foaled March 24. £95,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Sassy Belle. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class winner up to 1¼m Lord North. Likely type on paper and he needs a close look in the betting. Out of half-sister to Group 1 winner Lord North; worth a glance in the betting.
11th	9 11th (9) (9/1 +55%) Optimatum	9 9/1(+55%)	(9) Optimatum 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 11 in novice at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 31 days ago. Can be expected to leave that bare form behind in time. 50-1, made just a mildly encouraging debut when midfield over C&D (soft) last month.

Lord Capulet makes plenty of appeal on paper as a half-brother to the brilliant Rosallion and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him play a key role in proceedings. However, the vote goes to BINHAREER, who stepped forward from his debut to score over C&D in similar conditions and William Haggas' colt is taken to defy a 7lb penalty. Magellan Cloud is capable of a decent showing dropping back from a mile following his third at York.

BINHAREER duly stepped up on his fairly encouraging debut display when landing a C&D novice in ready fashion last month and, with the promise of better to come from this Dark Angel colt, he is taken to follow up. Magellan Cloud appears to be going the right way judged on his fine third in a York maiden and he is feared most ahead of newcomers Lord Capulet and Noble Force. El Pinto didn't shape at all badly on debut at Doncaster and he also warrants a mention.

Dark Angel colt BINHAREER was a convincing C&D winner last month and might be good enough to overcome his penalty.

12:30 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 25f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (11/2 +21%) Mullaghmore Wave	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(5) Mullaghmore Wave 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Down Royal (24.1f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Unplaced over hurdles at Down Royal last Friday, a 14l runner-up on most recent chase run.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 +10%) General Hubble	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(9) General Hubble 9/2, 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) 34 days ago. Stable having good spell. Others have achieved more. Beaten favourite on first two Irish starts before Sligo fourth, needs to jump better.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +25%) Bearwithmenow	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Bearwithmenow 12/1, One win from 24 NH runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good to soft, 9/1) 25 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Cheekpieces back on. Winning hurdler, has failed to build on a handicap chase second at Wexford in July.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 +56%) Definiteadare	7 7/1(+56%)	(8) Definiteadare 7/1, Creditable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 20/1) 17 days ago, inadequate test. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has lost form over fences since fair placed form in May/June, fair hurdles run on latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +14%) Junior Rattler	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Junior Rattler 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, good to soft, 12/1) 12 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Potentially on a good mark back in this sphere. Three-time hurdles winner is relatively unexposed over fences, may have needed recent run.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 -14%) The Dabbler	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) The Dabbler 8/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in June. Creditable third of 12 in handicap chase (12/1) at Punchestown (23.2f, good) 20 days ago. Veteran won off an equivalent hurdles mark during the summer, fair run over fences latest.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/2 -13%) Ballagh Star	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Ballagh Star 9/2, Won 10-runner handicap chase at Sligo (25.8f, good, 9/2) on debut over fences 34 days ago, well on top finish. Expected to be bang there. Stayed well when landing a 3m2f Sligo handicap last time, up 6lb, can remain competitive.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +60%) Cullenwaine	10 10/1(+60%)	(7) Cullenwaine 10/1, One win from 21 NH runs. 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Poor run over hurdles last time, struggled when favourite for a handicap chase at Sligo.
9th	1 9th (1) (8/1 -256%) Brave Adam	8 8/1(-256%)	(1) Brave Adam 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner novice chase at Killarney (23.4f, soft, 14/1) 30 days ago, always holding on. Makes handicap chase debut. Can make presence felt. Left previous form behind when stepped up in trip at Killarney, further progress possible.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (150/1 -50%) Deal Again	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Deal Again 150/1, 100/1, refused in handicap chase at Sligo (25.8f, good) on debut over fences 34 days ago won by Ballagh Star. Out of contention when refused three out at Sligo, 100-1 then, safe to rule out.

JUNIOR RATTLER might be able to add a chase victory to the three that he has recorded over hurdles. The Arakan gelding is fairly unexposed in this discipline and was second in a Kilbeggan handicap off just a 2lb lower mark last year. After five months off, he ran OK over hurdles at Clonmel last month and should be primed for this. It was a modest contest that Ballagh Star landed on chase debut at Sligo, but he jumped well and is open to more improvement. Brave Adam finished well clear with the runner-up when taking a Killarney beginners chase on easier ground and his mark was raised 10lb ahead of this handicap debut.

BRAVE ADAM showed improved form under a change of tactics to get off the mark at Killarney last month, making all and jumping well over this longer trip, and an opening mark of 107 doesn't look insurmountable. Ballagh Star made a winning start over fences at Sligo last time so must be respected, while Junior Rattler is potentially on a good mark back in this sphere.

Likely to be better for a recent run over hurdles, JUNIOR RATTLER stays well enough to have a good chance of a first chase win here

12:40 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (33/1 -136%) Flowering	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Flowering 33/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), rare poor effort last time. Sold from Charlie Johnston 15,000 gns in May and joined another successful yard. Cheekpieces removed for hurdles debut. Flat maiden but consistent and stamina won't be a problem over jumps.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 +33%) Character Testing	22 22/1(+33%)	(1) Character Testing 22/1, Fair on the Flat up to 10f for Tom Clover. Left that yard for £9,000 and not at that level both starts over hurdles, despite finishing third in each occasion. Has the run of the race at Plumpton and he looks vulnerable. He's ran okay to finish third in his two hurdles, beaten 9l and 15l.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 -17%) Scottie's Sister	7 7/1(-17%)	(6) Scottie's Sister 7/1, Brace of runner-up efforts in recent weeks entitle her to respect but there's no reason to think she's much better than her current level. Bang there the last twice on soft and good ground but again looks vulnerable.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 +31%) Our Lil	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(5) Our Lil 11/4, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), runner-up in handicaps twice in 2024 for John Patrick Murtagh. Interesting hurdling newcomer (presumably the choice of Harry Skelton). Headgear off. 0-8 on the Flat, her best runs in Ireland when twice placed this summer at about 1m4f.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/4 +0%) Rakki	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(3) Rakki 6/4, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1¾m) but looks up to winning races over hurdles judged on his promising third-place finish at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Improvement forthcoming and the one to beat. Useful Flat form at best and ran a nice first race over hurdles at Chepstow.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -14%) Justice Roll	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Justice Roll 4/1, Fair on the Flat in France, winning a 13f maiden at Chateaubriant (good to soft) in June. Sound start to hurdles career when third at Kempton a fortnight ago and he's expected to build on that. 1m5f winner in France; beaten about 10l at Kempton but should build on that.

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

Useful on the Flat in France, JUSTICE ROLL lost little in defeat when finishing third on his stable/hurdles debut over 2m at Kempton recently and, with that experience under his belt, he gets the vote to go two places better for a stable who tend to excel with these types. Scottie's Sister has performed with plenty of credit in second on her last couple of starts and another prominent showing would come as no surprise, while Rakki completes the shortlist.

RAKKI has failed to win on the Flat so far but the wait shouldn't be too long over hurdles given the promise he displayed at Chepstow on his fIrst crack over obstacles 3 weeks ago. Justice Roll also showed plenty to work on, while the market may help assess the Dan Skelton-trained pair.

This can go the way of RAKKI whose Flat exploits read well in today's company and it was an encouraging first hurdle run at Chepstow.

1	3 1st (3) (9/2 -13%) Al Waseela	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Al Waseela 9/2, Winner at Yarmouth in October. Bit below form sixth of 10 in nursery (13/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago. Each-way shout. 7f winner (soft); up 6lb for that when unable to get in a blow latest; more needed..
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +38%) Law Degree	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) Law Degree 5/2, Latest win at Ripon in September. Good third of 10 in nursery (40/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Every inch a major player off the same mark back down in class here. Soft-ground winner; put up a career best when 2l second at Doncaster (7f) latest; player..
3	1 3rd (1) (7/4 -27%) Say What You See	1.75 7/4(-27%)	(1) Say What You See 7/4, 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Newcastle (8f) 4 days ago, slowly away. Obvious claims under a penalty. 1m AW winner on handicap debut; should make a bold bid to defy a 6lb penalty back on turf..
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +33%) Aye Up Lass	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Aye Up Lass 4/1, Good third of 9 in nursery (9/1) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 15 days ago, slowly away. Yet to win a race but should put that right before long and she needs considering. Placed twice over 1m; early days and she won't need huge improvement to pick up a race..
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -120%) Hock Eye The Noo	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Hock Eye The Noo 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a nursery. Has shown ability but backward step latest; initial mark suggests a revival is needed..
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -52%) Elizabeth's Legacy	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Elizabeth's Legacy 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 150/1) 20 days ago. Like stablemate Black Sky, she needs to take a step forward now pitched into a nursery. No surprise if her fortunes improve in this sphere; market check suggested..
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Precious Spartan	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Precious Spartan 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f, 250/1) 14 days ago. Another who needs to raise his game now making the switch to a nursery. Could improve for switch to this sphere and stepping up to 1m but looks best watched..
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 +0%) Black Sky	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Black Sky 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, last of 11 in novice (100/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 47 days ago. More needed now venturing into nursery company for the first time. Could improve now entering handicaps and any market support would pique interest..

SAY WHAT YOU SEE made an impressive nursery bow at Newcastle last Friday when storming clear to win by eight lengths. The handicapper will undoubtedly give the son of Belardo a hefty rise for that success so a 6lb penalty doesn't seem likely to stop him from backing it up. Law Degree outran his odds when third at Doncaster on his latest start and he has to enter the reckoning, along with Aye Up Lass.

Having stormed home on his nursery debut at Newcastle at the end of last week, SAY WHAT YOU SEE will prove a tough nut to crack if able to translate that improvement back to turf (the fact that he shaped well in a C&D novice under similar conditions to those forecast augurs well in that respect). Law Degree looks a big danger on the back of his solid third in a Class 3 nursery at Doncaster, while Aye Up Lass is also likely to make her presence felt.

The in-form SAY WHAT YOU SEE looks the one to be with carrying a 6lb penalty for an easy win on Friday.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (13/8 +35%) Clean Getaway	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(10) Clean Getaway 13/8, Dual scorer over fences at Market Rasen this summer and continued good work of late, adding to his tally in 6-runner handicap chase at this course (16.4f) 4 weeks ago. Worthy of interest operating from lower mark back in this sphere. In good form over fences; not as good over hurdles but has a lower mark; not out of it.
2	11 2nd (11) (25/1 -79%) Suitably Surprised	25 25/1(-79%)	(11) Suitably Surprised 25/1, Runner-up on her final outing in points but has made a low-key start over hurdles, failing to improve when seventh of 12 on handicap debut at Stratford (18.7f) 17 days ago. More required operating from out of the weights. Fair in points; modest hurdles form including on h'cap debut; 4lb out of the handicap.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/2 +7%) Langton Wold	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(2) Langton Wold 13/2, Fair Flat winner and similar merit over hurdles, winning C&D maiden last winter. Merely ticking over on the level in recent months but not disgraced returned to this sphere when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f) 21 days ago. Not dismissed lightly. C&D winner on Boxing Day; fair run when fourth in Market Rasen handicap last time; chance.
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 -40%) Milajess	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Milajess 28/1, Still a maiden but produced best effort yet for current yard when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in June. Feasible to think first run for 4 months was needed over C&D 5 weeks ago and entitled to be sharper now. One of 3 runners from this stable. 0-18; fair second in June; may have needed the run when tailed off over C&D last month.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -56%) Check My Pulse	14 14/1(-56%)	(9) Check My Pulse 14/1, Winless since 2022 and he's failed to build on reappearance third over fences in May, only sixth at Cartmel in June and weakening when falling 2 out returned to this sphere over C&D 5 weeks ago. Mark has eased a little more at least. Versatile; fell 2 out in a C&D h'cap hurdle last month on return from a break; a possible.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -300%) Achnamara	40 40/1(-300%)	(4) Achnamara 40/1, Fair handicapper on Flat who landed back-to-back 2m handicaps at Catterick/Musselburgh in July. Finished well held in trio of starts more recently though and he didn't convince in his first spell in this discipline for previous connections. Yard also saddle Clean Getaway. Two 2m Flat wins this summer; modest efforts over hurdles last year but not ruled out.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/4 +78%) Tropical Talent	2.25 9/4(+78%)	(5) Tropical Talent 9/4, Modest/hurdler chaser who ran well when placed in handicaps at Bangor/here in September. Not so good of late, his jumping badly letting him down when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces quickly discarded. C&D chase winner in May; mixed form since, including over hurdles; good ground suits.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +29%) Trailblazer	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Trailblazer 10/1, Gained breakthrough success from 2 lb higher mark at Perth (16.2f) in July. Unable to replicate that level of form in handful of starts since and blinkers now go on in pace of usual cheekpieces. Perth winner off 2lb higher in July; patchy form since; others are more convincing.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -300%) Belle Na Bann	20 20/1(-300%)	(7) Belle Na Bann 20/1, Successful twice around the turn of the year and back to form following a break when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Absent since but she's worth a second look. Goes on any ground and chance on his best form; off since May and not sure to be spot on.
10th	1 10th (1) (33/1 -230%) Ambassador	33 33/1(-230%)	(1) Ambassador 33/1, Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter in July but not in same form either start over hurdles since, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f) 33 days ago. Mark is steadily easing but he needs to get back on track. Two wins earlier in the year, latest in July; not in such good form since; others stronger.
11th	6 11th (6) (40/1 -60%) Lord Warburton	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Lord Warburton 40/1, Modest at best on the Flat (stays 1½m) but and made a successful handicap hurdle debut from 13 lb out of the weights at Market Rasen (18.6f) in September. Failed to repeat that performance when pulled up at Southwell 2 weeks ago though, and others more persuasive. 1m2f Flat winner in July; off the mark over hurdles two runs ago; disappointing last time.

Successful over fences off 87 here last month, CLEAN GETAWAY looks thrown in off a mark of 78 on his return to timber. The seven-year-old may be winless after 17 starts in this sphere but this appeals as an ideal opportunity, with Belle Na Bann, a progressive sort last season, looking best placed to chase him home. A winner here over the larger obstacles back in May, Tropical Talent is another to consider, as is Langton Wold.

A 3-time winner over fences already this term (including here last time), CLEAN GETAWAY has a lower mark to exploit returned to timber and he could be the way to go in a race where plenty have something to prove. Belle Na Bann, Langton Wold and Tropical Talent are a trio of others to consider.

The pick is LANGTON WOLD, whose only win was over C&D last December and who shaped quite well when returned to hurdles last time.

3	9 3rd (9) (7/2 +0%) Game Phoenix	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(9) Game Phoenix 7/2, Modest maiden on the Flat. Encouragement over hurdles, better than result when sixth of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Gowran (16f, good) 31 days ago.

First run since leaving James Ferguson when fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle (22/1) at Punchestown (15.8f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago. 0-8 on the Flat, jumped poorly on stable and hurdles debut last month, others preferred.

BEYOND YOUR DREAMS should be good enough to make a winning start over flights if taking to jumping. A progressive young handicapper on the Flat in recent months, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looks the right type for juvenile hurdling. Game Phoenix could manage no better than sixth at Gowran Park last time, but had finished runner-up on her first two runs over hurdles. Paul Power's daughter of Phoenix Of Spain has acquired valuable jumping experience, which should stand to her here against the newcomers. Space Warrior also holds claims having shown ability in five runs on the level. While he will need to improve further, Tom Mullins' charge has to be respected on his hurdling debut.

BEYOND YOUR DREAMS was the best of these on the level and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, she looks the answer. Game Phoenix will attempt to put her experience to good use so she's a threat, with Space Warrior another to consider.

2	1 2nd (1) (1/2 +45%) Asian Star	0.5 1/2(+45%)	(1) Asian Star 1/2, Promise in bumpers and left hurdling debut form well behind when winning 9-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f, good) 13 days ago, plenty in hand. Sure to go on to better things and looks up to defying a penalty. Tackles male opposition this time under a penalty but clearly a contender.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -56%) Red Panda	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Red Panda 25/1, Down the field in bumpers and, whilst she's offered a bit more both starts over hurdles, she looks one for handicaps after this run. Bred to appreciate this step up in trip but has 12l to find with Asian Star.
4	3 4th (3) (9/4 -80%) The Long Point	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(3) The Long Point 9/4, £60,000 Kingston Hill gelding. Finished third sole start in Irish points and looks a good prospect when justifying support in 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f) in May. Interesting hurdling debutant. There's substance to his point win and he wasn't overly troubled to win his bumper.
5th	6 5th (6) (250/1 +0%) Earcomessue	250 250/1(+0%)	(6) Earcomessue 250/1, Bit of promise in bumpers but has been pulled up both starts over hurdles back from a long absence. Two pull-ups over hurdles at huge odds; now has tongue tied.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 0%) Tony's Tipple	66 66/1(0%)	(4) Tony's Tipple 66/1, Golden Lariat gelding. Dam tailed off in 2 bumpers. Makes very little appeal on paper. Pretty much tailed off when completing in his second point and makes no appeal here.
7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 -50%) Lord Of The Glance	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Lord Of The Glance 150/1, Needed experience in bumpers and hampered and unseated first on recent Fakenham hurdling. 80-1 when departing early on his hurdling debut at Fakenham.

ASIAN STAR looked a novice hurdler to keep on the right side of when readily opening her account over 2m at Southwell last month and this appears to be a fine opportunity for her to follow up. The Long Point won nicely in a Huntingdon bumper in May and he looks the main danger to the selection on his debut over timber, while Bredon Hill is another to consider.

ASIAN STAR was value for plenty extra over the result when scoring at Southwell 13 days and looks up to defying a penalty on that evidence. The Long Point created a good impression in his sole bumper and is an obvious threat on this switch to hurdling.

This is weak, and with Asian Star penalised, it looks a good opportunity for bumper winner THE LONG POINT.

KING'S SCHOLAR got off the mark when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Catterick last week and Ed Walker's gelding appears capable of further improvement, with the extra couple of furlongs unlikely to be an issue. Kitsune Power's best recent form has come on turf and the five-year-old is worth plenty of thought. Others to consider include Gastronomy and Red Derek.

KING'S SCHOLAR relished the step up to 1½m when opening his account under testing conditions at Catterick last week and, with the potential for better still now faced with an even stiffer test, he will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Red Derek looks pretty solid in the context of this race and he is second choice ahead of Kitsune Power.

This is best left to KING'S SCHOLAR (nap), whose soft-ground win at Catterick came in a manner suggesting this longer trip would suit.

KINGSTON NARCISSUS has improved with each appearance since joining Rebecca Menzies and last month's second over C&D pointed towards a gelding who looks ready to get off the mark. Placed over further on each of her last two starts, Brave Jen could be well suited by dropping back in trip and she is entitled to have a say. Demilion and hurdling debutant Supreme George enter the equation too.

KINGSTON NARCISSUS showed much more than previously over hurdles when runner-up over C&D a month ago and a repeat display may well see him go one place better in a run-of-the-mill maiden. Drying ground may help Brave Jen's cause and she's the obvious threat.

Having improved to be second over C&D last time, KINGSTON NARCISSUS is taken to get off the mark in a race sponsored by his trainer.

Gordon Elliott looks to have found a nice opportunity for THE MEDIATOR to open his account over jumps. A five-time runner-up since switching to hurdling, the former bumper winner has done little wrong to date. In what appears his easiest assignment to date, the seven-year-old can record a second career success. The David Harry Kelly-trained Faceman has shaped well enough in two bumper starts to suggest he is capable of winning races. Although needing to improve further to take a hand here, the lightly-raced gelding has plenty of scope for progression. Former point-to-point winner Breaking Silence would be of definite interest if fit and ready after an absence.

It's taken a while for connection to get point winner BREAKING SILENCE back to the track but this is a race really lacking in depth so in the hope the market vibes are positive, she's selected. The Mediator isn't straightforward but is sure to be in the thick of it, with Faceman another to note on hurdles debut.

THE MEDIATOR has been expensive to follow but this looks an excellent opportunity for him to shed the maiden tag over hurdles.

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

KINTAIL showed a useful level of form over hurdles last season, winning cosily at this venue on his reappearance, and there is every chance that the 55,000-pound son of Blue Bresil will improve now spying a fence. The highest rated of these over hurdles, Rambo T looks the obvious danger to the selection, and this former point-to-point performer must enter calculations. Skycutter was progressive over hurdles last term and could make his presence felt.

RAMBO T made an encouraging chasing debut at Uttoxeter and with improvement expected back up in trip, he looks the one to beat, for all Kintail and Skycutter should both make their mark over fences for their leading stables.

It's difficult to see past RAMBO T who was the best of these over hurdles and it was a good run in defeat on his chase debut.

Up 2 lb for that and she's probably just in the handicapper's grip for now. Some creditable efforts this year but needs to be on song to win this back from break.

HAVE SECRET was far from disgraced when a running-on fifth in a hot York handicap before posting a low-key effort in a similarly strong race at Doncaster. With his sights lowered off what looks a more-than-manageable mark, Richard Fahey's charge gets the vote to return to winning ways. Loyal Touch merits respect on the strength of his victory over this trip at Pontefract in September, although he needs to leave a subsequent lacklustre display behind. A 3lb rise doesn't discount recent C&D runner-up Liberty Coach.

It could be worth chancing HAVE SECRET, who has spent the majority of the last two seasons contesting strong Class 2 handicaps and he has dipped to a potentially handy mark. Bust A Move hasn't had his conditions the last twice but there will be no excuses in that regard here and he is feared most ahead of the in-form Liberty Coach.

Have Secret is respected but LIBERTY COACH still has potential despite racing off a 3lb higher mark than his defeat here last time.

The James Owen stable can do little wrong at present and as long as CHARGING THUNDER improves on his jumping from an impressive debut success at Fakenham, the six-year-old looks capable of following up on the rise in distance. Will Knott arguably won a stronger race than the selection here, but the fact that he was well beaten over C&D on his previous start is a worry. Laddie Cooper Mia can pick up the pieces on her hurdles bow if either of those previously mentioned falter.

A likely match between WILL KNOTT and Charging Thunder. The former created a positive impression when running away with a maiden here 16 days ago and promises to progress again now stepping back up in trip, so he edges the vote.

Preference is for CHARGING THUNDER, who was useful on the Flat and has plenty of scope for improvement after his hurdle win at Fakenham.

A smart handicap hurdler last term, WHAT'S UP DARLING can make a winning reappearance. Gordon Elliott's gelding, who won a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan last November, finished his campaign with respectable efforts in stronger races at Cheltenham and Aintree. This looks a perfect race to get his new season off to a winning start. Twice successful over flights, Barry Lyndon looks the chief threat. Although disappointing on his most recent outing, the six-year-old had won his previous start. The lightly-raced Well Del finished fourth in a maiden hurdle at Listowel, before beating his only two opponents in a beginners chase at Limerick. This is harder, but he is totally unexposed after just four runs.

The returning WHAT'S UP DARLING is taken to provide Gordon Elliott with a fourth successive win in this race. Any Road might be the one to give him most to think about.

This looks like a good starting point for WHAT'S UP DARLING whose status as a Grade 3 novice winner makes him the clear form pick

2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -113%) Definite Dream	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(3) Definite Dream 17/2, Has reached the frame in 4 novice/maiden hurdles this summer. Has an unexposed profile now handicapping but shaped last time as if she may benefit from a return to 2½m as opposed to a sharp 2m. This mark is no gift for handicap debut but running well and has each-way claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +17%) Royal Deeside	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Royal Deeside 5/1, In good hands but no better than modest form over hurdles so far, albeit he is entitled to be sharper for a recent Plumpton outing after 6 months off. Ground to make up with Ez Tiger on recent Plumpton form but that was after a break.

7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 -10%) Jo's Rainbow	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Jo's Rainbow 11/1, Fair Flat winner but had yet to better modest form over hurdles, disappointing when seventh of 18 at Exeter last time. Can't be discounted given who trains her but others arrive with more pressing claims. 0-6 over hurdles; never dangerous last time at Exeter and yet has dropped just 1lb.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 -100%) Kolisi	11 11/1(-100%)	(5) Kolisi 11/1, Runner-up twice in 2m handicap hurdles in June 2023 but not seen again until well held on the Flat at Salisbury last month. That should have blown away a few cobwebs but would still need to see market support to consider. Returns to hurdling under ideal conditions and definite shout if as good as he was.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/1 -22%) Red Windsor	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Red Windsor 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler at his best. Lost his way last season but more encouraging signs when third of 10 on 19f Fontwell reappearance 32 days ago. May come on for the run and dangerously well treated if reacting well to first-time cheekpieces. Ended last season in the doldrums and reappearance effort nothing to crow about.

A few of these have something to prove at present and it may pay to persevere with the in-form EZ TIGER. Alex Hales' gelding arrives on the back of a solid third at Plumpton and he makes plenty of appeal racing off the same mark. Royal Deeside was behind in fifth on that occasion, but that was his first outing in 176 days and the four-year-old is entitled to finish closer today. C&D winner Iontach Cheval is worth a check in the market for a yard in great heart at present.

With the Alastair Ralph stable going so well it's worth chancing IONTACH CHEVAL, who made a successful reappearance in this race 2 years ago from an 8 lb higher mark. Red Windsor will be a threat if building on quite an encouraging return to action at Fontwell. Ez Tiger is also respected on the back of his latest third in a big field at Plumpton.

It could pay to chance IONTACH CHEVAL who has seen little action since winning this two years ago off an 8lb higher mark.

BELSITO lost little in defeat when only finding one rival too good as favourite over track and trip last week and, off an unchanged mark, he looks well capable of going one place better. Eldeyaar did it well when scoring at Ripon and, with excuses for a subsequent subdued effort at Southwell, he looks the main danger to the selection. Thornaby Pearl is respected most out of the remainder.

If Kevin Ryan's BELLISTO is in the same form as when runner-up here last Monday he may be able to go one better from the same mark. Tim Easterby pair Glendown and Canaria Queen may give him most to think about.

Belsito can be dangerous but a chance is taken that BLUE JAY WAY can repeat his good show under these conditions last week.

KNIGHT TEMPLAR hasn't looked back since joining Robert Stephens and being upped in distance and a four-timer could be on the cards. The three-year-old is only 2lb higher than for his latest victory at Kempton and he edges the vote over the down-in-grade Bringbackmemories, who has scored on the last two occasions he has appeared in class 4 company and isn't taken lightly. Get Shirty may chase the duo home.

GET SHIRTY's losing run stretches back to 2022 but he has been a regular in high-end middle-distance and staying handicaps in that time. This represents a marked drop in class and he can take full advantage, likely at the chief expense of Knight Templar, who has been a superb buy for his connections.

Knight Templar is on a roll but the class act in this field is the veteran GET SHIRTY.

Presenting Pete didn't build on his chasing debut second here over further when fifth at Southwell, although he can't be written off yet. Sun Joy may have needed his return at Kempton and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 3lb, but a chance is taken on BURROWS HALL. A consistent type over hurdles, which included a win at Catterick over 3m1f in February, he appeals as the type to progress further now sent over the larger obstacles.

PRESENTING PETE was undone by a bad mistake 4 out at Southwell and is worth another chance given the promise he showed on his first go over fences here before that. Quaresome is interesting on his chase debut, while there is still time for Imperial Rule to get back on track.

The suggestion is PRESENTING PETE, who ran well in defeat on slower-than-ideal ground here on last month's chasing debut.

U ASKING ME can make it two wins from his last three starts over hurdles. The Eoin Doyle-trained gelding won over this trip at Clonmel finishing runner-up here over two furlongs less. Back up to his optimum distance at a venue where he is already proven, the seven-year-old should be hard to beat. Hatfield Hammer, who was runner-up in that aforementioned Clonmel race, should again be competitive. Paul Nolan's five-year-old has shown enough in 10 starts to suggest he has the ability to win races at this level. Blue Reed will need to improve on anything he has shown in recent times, but the five-year-old has to be respected on his first start for the Cian Collins stable.

The vote goes to NICHOLAS STREET, who failed to shine at Killarney last time but it's still very early days for this 4-y-o and he is well worth another chance. Indeed, judged on earlier efforts he is likely to benefit from this step up in trip and both the first-time hood and presence of a very capable claimer in the saddle are other plus points. Sydney Cruiser is another who can be forgiven a below-par run last time and she is next on the list ahead of Hesasmoothoperator and Papa Barns.

An improved display at Punchestown provides grounds for believing that HESAMOOTHOPERATOR can win a handicap of this standard

1	7 1st (7) (11/4 0%) I'm Ravenous	2.75 11/4(0%)	(7) I'm Ravenous 11/4, Strong in the betting after 10 weeks off and got off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt in Sedgefield maiden over this trip last month, knuckling down well. Quickly switches to chasing and this expensive point winner is very interesting on handicap bow. Chasing is now the way forward; much respected with a recent win/run under his belt.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +14%) Charles Ritz	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Charles Ritz 12/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who tasted success over hurdles and improved when opening his chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) on return on New Year's Day. However, gone backwards since so something to prove on comeback. Won at Exeter (2m, heavy) on New Year's Day but the wheels have come off since.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +45%) Yes Day	3 3/1(+45%)	(2) Yes Day 3/1, Shaped as if amiss on his final start last season but had a good campaign over hurdles otherwise. Will make a chaser (won sole outing in Irish points) so claims can certainly be made. Modest final run but a definite player on the strength of his third in Class 2 at Haydock.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 +10%) Northern Bound	18 18/1(+10%)	(1) Northern Bound 18/1, Winless since 2022 but he was placed at Chepstow and Aintree this spring. Well held both starts in the summer, however, so needs to bounce back. Quirky and never looked up for the challenge last time at Newton Abbot.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +47%) God's Own Getaway	4 4/1(+47%)	(6) God's Own Getaway 4/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who has already won twice over fences. Excuses both starts last month after 4 months off so not taken lightly with tongue strap applied. Would have been closer without a mistake last time; that was 3m but fine at this trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +25%) Imac Wood	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Imac Wood 6/1, Back on the scoresheet when accounting for 5 rivals in a 2½m Uttoxeter handicap chase (soft) in July. Stamina seemingly stretched upped to 21.4f at Market Rasen back from a 10-week break last month and better expected now. 6-13 strike-rate over fences; this mark isn't beyond him if bringing his 'A' game.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -10%) Bagheera Ginge	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Bagheera Ginge 11/1, Opened chase account at Warwick a year ago. Mixed record since but went close at Newton Abbot. Let down by jumping at Worcester next time but not dismissed for in-form yard. C&D winner on a fair mark but has become hard to call.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/1 -38%) Maninsane	11 11/1(-38%)	(9) Maninsane 11/1, Dual winner in first campaign over fences but not so consistent last term. Enhanced good record fresh when second at Huntingdon but remains to be seen if he's able to build on that. Clear of the rest when bumping into a rejuvenated winnner at Huntingdon (2m4f).

Chasing/handicap debutant I'm Ravenous warrants respect in this discipline given his point-to-point background, but a mark of 113 is likely to require some improvement. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on the returning YES DAY. The six-year-old scored on his sole start between the flags and he looks just the sort to excel on his opening bid over fences. Maninsane and Imac Wood are others to consider in an open contest.

The 2 chasing newcomers I'M RAVENOUS and Yes Day look very interesting here with narrow preference for the race-fit I'm Ravenous. God's Own Getaway has had excuses of late so is another to consider for the Skeltons.

Dan Skelton's GOD'S OWN GETAWAY (nap) wouldn't have been far away at Kempton last time had he not mullered two out.

That aid returns now so he is one to keep a close eye on in the betting. 7f winner on heavy; competitive mark and drops back in trip but still a bit to prove..
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +50%) Temper Trap	3 3/1(+50%)	(7) Temper Trap 3/1, Back in form this autumn, including a C&D win on soft. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 6 days ago. Shortlist material. Prolific winner, including over C&D (soft) last month; bettered that latest; big player..

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 7 days ago, very slowly away. Better efforts would give him claims; below par last two starts; not written off..

9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +10%) Another Baar	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) Another Baar 9/1, Successful over 6f at Doncaster in August. Went down only narrowly at Pontefract (5f, heavy) last month. Has yet to prove he's effective over 7f but he had excuse at Doncaster last time. Soft ground 6f winner; needs up to his game over this far, particularly on slow ground..

Having been far from disgraced when third in a class 4 event at Catterick, RED MIRAGE looks primed for a big run dropped into class 5 company. A 1lb lower mark should also help the six-year-old and a seventh career victory beckons. The biggest threat may be posed by Ey Up Its Jazz, who arrives on the back of a respectable second at Doncaster. Pals Battalion and Temper Trap are also noted.

TEMPER TRAP is ending the season in fine form and might be able to land a second C&D success of the autumn. Ey Up Its Jazz and Pals Battalion rate obvious dangers, while Cavallo Pazzo needs monitoring in the betting with the tongue strap back on for the first time since joining Daragh Bourke.

The solid option looks to be TEMPER TRAP, who is proven over C&D, relishes some cut in the ground and is on a competitive mark.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Vibrato has form over a mile so the rise in distance since his latest second over an extended 5f at Bath shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. He also has proven fitness on his side, but the returning WHAT A QUESTION could have too much class. The Lope De Vega filly was too bad to be true when eighth in a Listed affair at Newmarket 493 days ago and she may bounce back to winning ways if near to her peak. Mrs Potts can claim third spot.

The race revolves around whether WHAT A QUESTION can return from a 16 month-absence near the level she showed on debut, as that will almost certainly suffice. Vibrato is the obvious second choice.

The returning WHAT A QUESTION was last seen in a Listed race and she can reward the patience of her connections.

Both of BEBSIDE BANTER's victories have come at Sedgefield and the seven-year-old, who gained the first of those on his chasing debut when returning from a break a year ago, is expected to have more to offer in this discipline. Selectivelistening drops back in trip after his recent Hereford second and is more than capable of being in the mix on his first start for a new trainer. Others to note include Dr Shirocco and Into The Sunset.

BEBSIDE BANTER did well over fences last season, winning twice here, including on return, so another big run looks on the cards. Dr Shirocco was in good form over the summer and can go well fresh, so is next best ahead of Selectivelistening, who made a positive start to his chase career at Hereford.

Selectivelistening is respected but THE PADDY PIE might capitalise upon some considerable help from the handicapper.

Clonmel fourth on penultimate start a standout effort this term and she was again below her best when eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Won over 2m6f at Galway last autumn, not a bad run at Clonmel on her penultimate start.

Reserve 2. Second reserve, addition of tongue-tie was possibly the key to improvement on yard debut.

HEES DYNAMITE won well at Limerick last time and gets another go in this lowest grade. The Ocovango gelding had been knocking on the door before his victory 17 days ago and, despite a 7lb rise, he has to have a big shout of following up in a moderate contest. Kate Ill Know looks the obvious danger switching back to hurdles. A bad mistake ended her chances over fences last time, but she had been running consistently over timber previously. Hurricane Honey offered encouragement when fourth at Galway on her first appearance for the Adrian Murray team and is a likely threat.

HEES DYNAMITE confirmed previous promise when running out a good winner of a big-field Limerick handicap 17 days ago and he could be worth siding with to follow up from a 7 lb higher mark. Beechfield, who is easily one of the least exposed, and Hurricane Honey rate a couple of likely threats, with veteran mare Kate Ill Know respected also now returned to the smaller obstacles.

It should pay to side with HEES DYNAMITE who has been improving steadily and can defy a 7lb rise for last month's Limerick win

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +20%) Getalead	2 2/1(+20%)	(6) Getalead 2/1, Came good at the fifth attempt for this yard under Gearoid Harney at Wincanton (15.2f, good) recently. Escapes a penalty for that and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to pose any problems, he's a must for the shortlist. No penalty for last week's 1m7f win at Wincanton and he's won over this C&D before.
2	4 2nd (4) (17/2 +47%) Shantou Express	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(4) Shantou Express 17/2, Bagged a small-field Stratford handicap (26.4f, good) last season but hasn't fired since, including when down the field on return following another round of wind surgery at Wincanton 19 days ago. Had a miserable 14 or so months and no sign of exploiting a vastly reduced handicap mark.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +0%) Baby Sage	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Baby Sage 4/1, Looked good when winning a bumper here on debut in February 2023 and placed both completed starts since switched to hurdles. Absent for 10 months ahead of this handicap debut but she's in good hands and unexposed, so there is cause for optimism. Latest run encouraging; off since December but this initial mark might be okay.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 -11%) Gris Majeur	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(3) Gris Majeur 10/3, Resumed winning ways when landing an 8-runner Hereford handicap (21.7f, good) last month. Remains feasibly treated following a 6 lb rise and he has to enter calculations. Front two were clear at Hereford and a 6lb rise shouldn't be too damaging.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 -67%) Kepagge	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Kepagge 20/1, Good record at Ffos Las and bounced back to form when runner-up there at the end of May. However, his recent reappearance spin at Exeter wasn't underwhelming, even allowing for the fact that it was his first outing for 5 months. His second to progressive one at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in May has been about it this year.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 +33%) Gustoso	5 5/1(+33%)	(8) Gustoso 5/1, Much-improved when opening his account in first-time cheekpieces at Huntingdon in April. Backed it up with a good third at Perth later that month and while he failed to beat a rival home on last month's return at Exeter, he went without cheekpieces there (now refitted) and probably needed the run. Competitive once switched to handicaps last season; return may have brought him on.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Illico De Montave	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Illico De Montave 33/1, Unplaced in sole point but displayed some ability in 2 bumpers for Tom Weston before Christmas and likewise when reaching the frame in a pair of 2m novice hurdles for Rosemary Gasson. However, he took backward steps switched to handicaps during the spring. Has ability but handicaps haven't brought out the best of it; others safer.
8th	1 8th (1) (80/1 -142%) Dorrells Pierji	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Dorrells Pierji 80/1, Veteran who scored twice over hurdles Dan Skelton in 2022. Won 5 times in points between April and June this year but limited impact back under Rules in recent months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Made hay in points this year but has found it harder going back under rules.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (28/1 +15%) Minella Double	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Minella Double 28/1, Surprise winner of a 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (2½m, good) on second start for this yard in August. Not in the samer form since, though, and he's likely to find a few too good once more. Won in August but, as form figures would imply, his profile is very hit and miss.

Now that GRIS MAJEUR has regained the winning thread after rallying late in the piece to score# at Hereford last month, there is likely to be more to come from the seven-year-old at a track that is likely to suit. Placed on each of her last two starts when well fancied in the betting, Baby Sage should be thereabouts again, while the experienced Getalead will look to build on a recent success at Wincanton over shorter.

Last-time-out winners GETALEAD and Gris Majeur could be the pair to concentrate on, with ready preference for the former who escapes a penalty for this recent Wincanton success under Gearoid Harney and moving back up in trip here will, if anything, probably be a good thing. The unexposed Baby Sage and Gustoso can do battle for minor honours.

A few with chances but recent winners GRIS MAJEUR and Getalead have a lot going for them. The Hereford hero gets the nod.

Could only consider if backed. Well beaten on both recent starts for new stable; others have much less to prove.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/2 -115%) Glastonbury	3.5 7/2(-115%)	(8) Glastonbury 7/2, Promising individual. Cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap (10/1) at Yarmouth (1m, soft) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. The one to beat. Won when upped to 1m and fitted with cheekpieces on recent turf debut; still lightly raced.

8th	4 8th (4) (10/3 +52%) Alfie Boy	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(4) Alfie Boy 10/3, Course winner. 10/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (1m, heavy) 8 days ago, finding test too much. Needs a couple of these to falter. Third when upped to 1m at Leicester; drops in grade today; high on the list.

Rwenearlytheredad scored with enough in hand at Catterick recently to suggest that a 5lb penalty won't prevent another bold bid. However, fellow last-time-out winner GLASTONBURY looks open to more improvement and, off a 3lb higher mark, James Fanshawe's three-year-old shades the verdict. Penalised Leicester claimer scorer Nights Over Egypt arrives in good heart and he shouldn't be far away if coping with a quick turnaround.

James Fanshawe-trained 3-y-o GLASTONBURY should have more to offer on the back of his Yarmouth success and can defy a 3 lb rise under Kaiya Fraser. Last week's Catterick scorer Rwenearlytheredad can give him most to do ahead of in-form veteran Anif.

Preference is for ALFIE BOY, who was placed in higher-grade company when recently upped to 1m and remains well handicapped.

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +17%) Bow Street	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Bow Street 5/1, Bated Breath colt who ran just about his best race when keeping on to finish a close-up sixth of 10 in nursery (17/2) at this course (5f) 18 days ago. Return to 6f very much in his favour on that evidence and he's one to consider. Has shown ability on a couple of occasions but finished behind a couple of these last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +0%) Ghostman	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(1) Ghostman 11/4, Dandy Man gelding who showed improved form when second of 10 in nursery at this course (5f, 5/1) 18 days ago, keeping on. One of the likelier types with a repeat. Beaten less than a length here last time; return to 6f no issue and races off same mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +63%) Glitter Code	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(6) Glitter Code 9/2, Visored for 1st time, good fifth of 9 in nursery (5/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago, fading final 1f having refused to settle. Return to sprinting may help now. Has run a couple of times over 7f, but pulled to hard last time; more needed back over 6f.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 +8%) We've Got This	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(7) We've Got This 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 14 in novice (9/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm), taking that place final 1f without being knocked about. Likely improver now handicapping back from 4 months off. Promise in two of her three starts on turf earlier in year; market should be revealing.
5th	5 5th (5) (13/2 +7%) Azuinthejungle	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(5) Azuinthejungle 13/2, Was notably well backed and produced his best effort to date when fifth of 10 in nursery at this course (5f, 6/1) 18 days ago, edged out of the frame only late on. Possibilities with a repeat upped to 6f. Just under a length behind Ghostman over 5f here last time; the stiffer test should suit.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/3 +52%) Keats House	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(2) Keats House 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in novice (20/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 47 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Switch to nurseries in his favour now and no surprise were he capable of better. One to monitor in the betting. Showed some ability in the middle of three turf starts; worth monitoring in the market.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -213%) That Lucas Fella	25 25/1(-213%)	(4) That Lucas Fella 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, last of 4 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Some ability in the middle of three outings on turf; closely related to a Polytrack winner.

Others more persuasive. The only previous winner in the field, but also the most exposed and isn't progressing.

Having found only a progressive juvenile too strong over 5f here last time out, compensation could be heading in GHOSTMAN's direction. Dylan Cunha's gelding should have no issues with a return to 6f and he makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark. Azuinthejungle is 1lb lower than for his close-up fifth behind the selection in that contest and he may serve the most resistance, ahead of nursery debutant We've Got This.

WE'VE GOT THIS caught the eye when third on qualifying run in a Ripon novice in July and very much appealing as a likely improver now handicapping, she could well be the way to go before market clues. Ghostman, following his good second here last time, and Bow Street back at 6f head up the dangers.

This can go to GHOSTMAN, who looks the one to beat having gone close over 5f here 18 days ago with two of these behind.

Could easily have more to offer so a further 3 lb nudge from the handicapper shouldn't prevent a bold bid. Won readily on handicap debut in September and has run well in defeat since; big player.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 +38%) Lenebane	5 5/1(+38%)	(11) Lenebane 5/1, Remains a maiden but twice runner-up in Market Rasen handicaps in the summer. Another creditable placed effort when third of 11 at Southwell (20.5f) 13 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. 0-18 over hurdles but was placed behind two progressive rivals a fortnight ago; in the mix.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 +45%) Vanilla Dancer	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(4) Vanilla Dancer 11/2, Course bumper winner on heavy ground but has achieved only modest form over hurdles, including 9 lengths fourth on last month's 2½m Hexham handicap debut. May have more to offer when the emphasis is on stamina but that isn't sure to be the case here. Not given a hard time when fourth on handicap debut; of interest off 3lb lower mark here.

Has the speed to cope with the drop back in trip but her profile doesn't mark her down as an obvious one to follow up. Off mark at Kelso (3m2f) last week, her 18th hurdling start; not obvious type to follow up.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 +0%) Time Was	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Time Was 20/1, Winning pointer but didn't achieve much solid under Rules last season, finishing well held on 2½m Newcastle handicap debut when last seen in April.

Remote fourth in Uttoxeter novice on reappearance a month ago but she should sharper for the run and stands a much more realistic chance back in a handicap. 0-11 over hurdles; second three times last season but may need a stiffer test than this.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 -25%) Leave Her To Me	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Leave Her To Me 20/1, Bumper winner in 2022 and came good at the second time of asking over hurdles back from an absence at Uttoxeter in July. Not disgraced when sixth of 9 on Hereford handicap debut 22 days ago and being dropped 2 lb can only help. Just a respectable sixth on last month's handicap debut; 2lb drop is not enough to tempt.

However, that was a weak race and she's had her limitations exposed since, pulling up on last month's handicap debut back at Hexham. Shock winner on rules debut in June but pulled up on last month's handicap debut.

APPLES MOON made a winning start to life in handicap company at Warwick before filling the runner-up spot at Hereford. Nicky Martin's mare is expected to benefit from stepping up a couple of furlongs in trip and a further 3lb rise doesn't appear likely to stop her. Fine By Her benefited from switching back to hurdles when scoring at Fakenham in June and is expected to be competitive once again. Any market support for Bobbigrey on her handicap debut should be noted.

APPLES MOON is going the right way in handicaps and can make the long journey from Nicky Martin's Somerset base worthwhile. Lenebane has yet to win but has been knocking on the door lately and should be on the premises again. Talysh is a handicap newcomer to note in the betting for a stable which had one with a similar profile win nicely last week.

Nicky Martin's APPLES MOON (nap) found another unexposed mare just too good at Hereford but that was still a good effort.

Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 9 days ago.

Up 13lb for back to back wins in August, handicapper may be in charge for now.

CRUISIN SUSAN is a consistent sort at this level and can bag another win. She had a good spell during the summer, with two victories in the month of August, and has held her form well recently off a mark 1lb higher than this. Kilmurry Jj is a better horse over fences, but has a 16lb lower mark over timber and could be a big player in this grade. He did run poorly when last seen over hurdles at Galway and will need to produce a better effort than that. Mr Mcwhinny didn't run too badly at Punchestown last time and may be capable of getting a bit closer now.

KALAROUN ran well here last time and could be the way to go in a tricky low-grade contest. Cruisin Susan and Mr McWhinny are a couple of others to consider.

A chance is taken on AR NOS NA GAOITHE. She kept on well over shorter at Limerick last time and this step up in trip should suit.

Worth considering from 1 lb higher in the hope the headgear has desired effect again. Back to form when second at Wincanton but the blinkers tried there are now left off.

Totally unexposed and big shout up 7 lb in follow-up bid. Impressed on chase debut and has the scope and potential to deal with the extra 7lb.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -45%) Twilight Glory	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Twilight Glory 16/1, Won back-to-back handicap chases earlier this year but struggled to get anywhere near that level on final 2 starts, pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) in April. Possible this run will bring him on returning from 6 months off. Current mark, 5lb above his last win, could be challenging and he lacks a run.

Hard to make a case for. Back on correct mark for her second chase but hurdling career was forgettable.

Heavy ground may have caught him out when pulled up at Worcester (23f, heavy) 3 weeks ago and sounder surface here in his favour from steadily easing mark. Only recently returned from a long absence and the signs are that he's regressed.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (12/1 +14%) My Bad Lucy	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) My Bad Lucy 12/1, Improved sent chasing in 2022/23, winning twice at 3m. However, well held confined to just 2 starts last term and the betting may well prove a useful guide on this return from 6 months off. Poor the last twice after lengthy breaks and hard to weigh up right now.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -203%) Even Break	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Even Break 100/1, Unplaced sole start in Irish points and little to shout about in bumper/4 starts over hurdles, the latest after 15 months off when pulled up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to firm) in July. Goes chasing now following wind surgery but he's hard to make a case for. Goes chasing after wind surgery but had no worthwhile form in maiden hurdles.

TOUCHWOODEXPRESS put it all together when scoring comfortably at Huntingdon on chasing debut and going further up in trip may bring about further improvement as he looks to go in again off 7lb higher. Jony Max has dropped to a mark 26lb lower than his last success over fences, but his most recent second at Wincanton was a return to form. He looks a key player along with the capable Felton Bellevue.

Low-mileage 5-y-o TOUCHWOODEXPRESS surpassed the form shown over hurdles when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f) 4 weeks ago and, with his yard continuing in fine form, he earns the vote to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. Jony Max, who bounced back to form when runner-up at Wincanton latest, may emerge as the chief threat. Likeable 9-y-o Felton Bellevue is another likely to be thereabouts.

This may not take a great deal of winning. TOUCHWOODEXPRESS looked a different horse on his chase/handicap debut and can follow up.

Off 8 months/gelded, not disgraced when seventh of 18 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 58 days ago, not ideally placed. Remains unexposed as a sprinter and better showing anticipated.

However, nearer last than first all 3 starts this year, including on debut for new yard when twelfth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Has it to prove now.

A winner of two of her four C&D starts this year, and victorious on her latest outing at Wolverhampton, WREN OFFICER sets the standard on recent form and she can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of Flying Fletcher, who returned from a lengthy absence with a respectable effort at York in September and scored over track and trip on his penultimate outing. Another Investment and Sacred Falls are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

ANOTHER INVESTMENT was quickly back to form and lost little caste in defeat behind a couple of progressive 3-y-o's at Southwell 4 weeks ago. The return to 6f won't inconvenience Nigel Tinkler's 5-y-o and he's of interest operating just 1 lb above his last winning mark. Wren Officer comes here in fine form and is an obvious threat. Flying Fletcher and Sacred Falls aren't dismissed lightly, either.

The 3yo FLYING FLETCHER (nap) looks a sprinter with potential on this surface and he can prove too good for Another Investment.

Makes tapeta debut (went close only other AW start at Kempton at 2 yrs). Career-high mark to overcome but she's hard to dismiss. Appreciated return to 1m when winning at Newmarket last time; trainer 4-14 here this year.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -71%) Alzahir	3 3/1(-71%)	(1) Alzahir 3/1, Useful gelding. 8/13, won 9-runner seller at Leicester (7f, heavy) 21 days ago under this rider by 7½ lengths from Blufferonthebus (should have won a handicap there last week). Good chance back in a handicap on tapeta debut. Easily won a Leicester seller last time; this will be harder back in a handicap.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 +63%) Sir Gabrial	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(4) Sir Gabrial 9/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in July.

C&D winner who last time shaped as though the return to this stiffer test would suit.

Seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 33/1) 31 days ago, catching the eye with some late headway and not knocked about to do so. Interesting. Made a promising stable debut at Chester, but didn't build on it at Southwell last time.

ZOUZANNA improved for going back up to a mile when successful at Newmarket last time out and, with Finley Marsh retaining the ride, she can strike again off a career-high mark of 87. An easy winner of a seller on heavy ground at Leicester, the switch of stables seems to have done the trick for Alzahir and he should be thereabouts, along with the relatively unexposed Sir Gabrial, who has disappointed since scoring at Salisbury in July.

ALZAHIR ended his losing run in a seller at Leicester 3 weeks ago and looks set for more success now back handicapping from a fair mark. Zouzanna came in for a canny ride from Finley Marsh when scoring at Newmarket and has to be respected again in the hope she gets a sound pace. Serenity Dream caught the eye at Southwell and is worth a look.

It may be worth chancing C&D winner SIR GABRIAL whose latest effort suggests he will appreciate this return to a stiffer test.

An unlucky second when short of room and hampered over a furlong out at Chelmsford last month, TIME PATROL looks capable of gaining compensation on this occasion. Returning to Newcastle, where he ran well in March, is a plus and he gets the vote ahead of recent C&D third Asadjumeirah and Beneficiary, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort over 5f at Southwell. Lord Abama and Variety Island cannot be ruled out either.

VARIETY ISLAND shaped better than the bare result behind Lord Abama here recently and his turn could be near again. Lord Abama, Asadjumeirah and Time Patrol are a few others to consider.

The choice is dual C&D winner BENEFICIARY who ran better when runner-up at Southwell last time and is back on his last winning mark.

WHERES THE CRUMPET appeared to appreciate the step back to a mile when readily getting the better of Mr Heinz over track and trip last month and, upped 4lb, she gets the vote to confirm her superiority en route to victory once more. True Nation lost little in defeat when runner-up in a slightly better race at Musselburgh and, off a 7lb lower all-weather mark, she may prove popular with punters.

TRUE NATION arrives at the top of her game and she looks potentially well treated off a lower AW mark. Wheres The Crumpet is feared having won well over C&D 3 weeks ago, while Tasever surely has a race in him off his reduced mark having gone close here last week.

Wheres The Crumpet had three of these behind when winning over C&D three weeks ago, but MR HEINZ may be able to reverse the form.

6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -33%) Marcello Si	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Marcello Si 8/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2), slowly away. Off 6 months. Player if ready to go. Drop in trip did the trick with three wins over 7f/1m here this year; has gone well fresh.
7th	5 7th (5) (50/1 -178%) Jannas Journey	50 50/1(-178%)	(5) Jannas Journey 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, third of 6 in novice at this course (6f) 35 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Return to 7f may help and worth a market check now switched to a handicap.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 +0%) Miss Billie	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Miss Billie 25/1, 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 47 days ago. 0-11; two best efforts have come on Tapeta, but more needed if she is to break her duck.

AL SHABAB fared best of those held up off the pace when finishing a staying-on second at Wolverhampton recently and it is eyecatching that Ian Williams' charge arrives on the same mark. With cheekpieces enlisted for the first time, this may just be the day to catch him. Recent all-the-way C&D winner Tickets warrants respect off 3lb higher, for all that he won't get an easy time of things out in front in this line-up. Marcello Si is also noteworthy.

It could be worth chancing KAPPARIS KID, who has dropped a long way in the weights ahead of his return to AW. Tickets turned in his best effort of the season when a narrow winner over C&D 2 weeks ago so is feared most ahead of Al Shabab, who was a good second at Wolverhampton last time and remains unexposed on AW.

It took TICKETS a while to break his duck in handicaps but he did so over C&D a fortnight ago and may well be able to follow up.
