1	18 1st (18) (11/8 +0%) Santo Sospir		1.375 11/8(+0%)																															(18) Santo Sospir 11/8, From a yard with two wins in the last ten renewals; promising hurdle debut when doing plenty early and needed the run when fourth, beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Wexford; acts with cut and has more to come. Won a six-runner bumper here last winter on heavy, 2m looked inadequate on hurdles debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (18/1 +64%) Barley Lane		18 18/1(+64%)																															(2) Barley Lane 18/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f here on only start; needs to improve. Made a satisfactory debut when ninth of 24 in a bumper here at the festival meeting.
3	24 3rd (24) (11/1 +56%) Crystal Gold		11 11/1(+56%)																															(24) Crystal Gold 11/1, 40,000 euros Crystal Ocean filly; half-sister to Just Golden, fair at 20f; showed little in points. Half-sister to a bumper winner, respectable effort when third on only point-to-point start.
4	21 4th (21) (16/5 +68%) Therhythmofthenite		3.2 16/5(+68%)																															(21) Therhythmofthenite 16/5, 110,000 euros Goliath Du Berlais gelding; wears a tongue-tie for the first time. E110,000 3yo; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to yard's top-class chaser Fastorslow.
5th	20 5th (20) (16/1 +84%) Take Stock		16 16/1(+84%)																															(20) Take Stock 16/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding; half-brother to Strong Link, very useful at 21f; top trainer. Some promise on sole point start in April, Sound As A Bell is the stable's number one.
6th	14 6th (14) (40/1 -150%) Mcallister		40 40/1(-150%)																															(14) Mcallister 40/1, Soldier Of Fortune gelding; half-brother to Mrs Milner, high-class at 20f. Noteworthy as a half-brother to the trainer's 2021 Pertemps Final winner Mrs Milner.
7th	17 7th (17) (11/1 -10%) Ready For Road		11 11/1(-10%)																															(17) Ready For Road 11/1, Promising debut when fourth, beaten 14l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Cork; tongue-tie on for the first time; debut form franked and should improve. Likely to be capable of building on his debut fourth at Cork, tongue-tie fitted now.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +17%) Llem's		10 10/1(+17%)																															(13) Llem's 10/1, Yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race; Voiladenuo gelding, half-brother to Etavudenuo, poor at 19f; top trainer. Half-brother to winners in France, in a top yard, Santo Sospir is the stable's number one.
9th	10 9th (10) (125/1 -150%) Lar Na Pairce		125 125/1(-150%)																															(10) Lar Na Pairce 125/1, Green and modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas on only start; likely one for further down the line. Never threatened first time out at Naas, Mark Walsh prefers point winner Sound As A Bell.
12	12 |U| (12) (125/1 -25%) Lejolicoeur Du Mou		125 125/1(-25%)																															(12) Lejolicoeur Du Mou 125/1, Ran to form when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time; may improve for further in time. Will need to get a handicap rating judged on two maiden hurdle outings at Gowran.
10th	19 10th (19) (10/3 -21%) Sound As A Bell		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(19) Sound As A Bell 10/3, Promising effort when winning a maiden at Quakerstown over 3m by 6l last time; has a bit to find here. Point winner for Derek O'Connor, staying pedigree, top owner's first-string here.
11th	23 11th (23) (28/1 -100%) Belladona Princess		28 28/1(-100%)																															(23) Belladona Princess 28/1, Kapgarde filly; half-sister to Woodland Park, useful at 21f. Half-sister to five winners, dam a well-related bumper/hurdle winner, top rider booked.
12th	8 12th (8) (300/1 -50%) Jaynemax		300 300/1(-50%)																															(8) Jaynemax 300/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m at Clonmel on only start; all to do. Beaten a long way in a Clonmel bumper on only start last season, safe to rule out.
13th	9 13th (9) (50/1 -25%) Kellys Corner		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Kellys Corner 50/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time; likely improver up in trip. Well beaten in two points, hurdling debut at Gowran was mildly promising, may improve.
14th	1 14th (1) (80/1 +47%) Anodandawink		80 80/1(+47%)																															(1) Anodandawink 80/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Navan last time; may need more time to develop under rules. Second in a point, lost action and pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Navan on Monday.
15th	5 15th (5) (200/1 +0%) Diaduit Buachaill		200 200/1(+0%)																															(5) Diaduit Buachaill 200/1, Outpaced but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time; step back up in trip should help but likely one for handicaps. Looks more like a handicap prospect on the evidence of runs at Sligo and Down Royal.
16th	7 16th (7) (40/1 +73%) Galavanting George		40 40/1(+73%)																															(7) Galavanting George 40/1, 15,000 euros Order Of St George gelding; half-brother to Wild West Wind, very useful at 24f; top trainer. Interesting newcomer on pedigree, trainer also runs several who have shown promise.
17th	15 17th (15) (150/1 -50%) Not So Serious		150 150/1(-50%)																															(15) Not So Serious 150/1, Green and made mistakes on poor debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time; all to prove. Not a big price in two bumpers, ordinary form, 25-1 when tailed off on hurdling debut.
18th	25 18th (25) (200/1 +0%) Magic Hands Noel		200 200/1(+0%)																															(25) Magic Hands Noel 200/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Navan on only start; looks one for much further down the line. 100-1 when always at the back on his debut in a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan last Saturday.
19th	22 19th (22) (66/1 -32%) Urbs Intacta Manet		66 66/1(-32%)																															(22) Urbs Intacta Manet 66/1, Lucky Speed gelding. Yard in good form but may just need this experience. Dam well beaten in points is half-sister to two winners who stayed well.
20th	27 20th (27) (150/1 +25%) The Dancen Kid		150 150/1(+25%)																															(27) The Dancen Kid 150/1, Never threatened and looked in need of a stiffer test when modest on debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m here; longer trip should help but has plenty to find. Second reserve, 66-1 when finishing in midfield over 2m on debut, longer trip may help.
21st	4 21st (4) (200/1 +0%) Dan Lauren		200 200/1(+0%)																															(4) Dan Lauren 200/1, Green and made mistakes on a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Cork last time; showed little in points or under rules and has plenty to prove. Pulled up in a point-to-point, tailed off in a 2m maiden at Cork early in the month.
22nd	3 22nd (3) (300/1 -50%) Call Me Flash		300 300/1(-50%)																															(3) Call Me Flash 300/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m here on only start; looks one for much further down the line. Never in contention when sent off at three-figure odds in a 2m maiden here nine days ago.
23rd	16 23rd (16) (125/1 -25%) Rackemandstackem		125 125/1(-25%)																															(16) Rackemandstackem 125/1, Outpaced but improved from debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time; should stay around 2m4f; likely one for handicaps. Stable has a much stronger candidate in Sound As A Bell, should do better in time.

SANTO SOSPIR won a bumper here on debut in February and finished fourth when reappearing in a 2m maiden hurdle at Wexford last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding should progress from that experience and is likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Sound As A Bell won a point-to-point in good style this spring, while stablemate Ready For Road made a creditable start over hurdles recently at Cork. L'as De Watt filled the runner-up spot behind the odds-on I'm Slippy on his hurdles debut at Cork earlier this month and is also noted.

Course bumper winner SANTO SOSPIR should benefit from the step up in trip following his introduction to hurdling at Wexford.

1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +14%) Diamond Hunter		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Diamond Hunter 12/1, Impressed on rules debut when winning a novice hurdle at Plumpton by 24l last time; effective at 2m, acts on G; almost certainly more to come. Ex-pointer; made winning start over hurdles at Plumpton; improvement necessary but likely.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 -150%) Masked Man		2.75 11/4(-150%)																															(5) Masked Man 11/4, Quickened clear cosily, very promising hurdle debut when winning a novice hurdle at Chepstow by 12l last time; 3m point winner, acts on G, effective 2m, will get further; looks useful hurdles recruit. 2-2 in Irish point and Chepstow novice, both wins by 12l; could be anything.
3	1 3rd (1) (1/1 +56%) Sticktotheplan		1 1/1(+56%)																															(1) Sticktotheplan 1/1, Travelled and improved up in trip on stable debut when winning the Persian War Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Chepstow over 2m3f by 4l last time; usually held up; effective up to 2m4f and acts on good ground; drop in trip looks fine. Improving fast and won Grade 2 novice at Chepstow last time; sets a high standard on form.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +13%) Double Measure		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(3) Double Measure 7/2, Travelled well and was outbattled late having looked the winner, but it was a very promising debut when second, beaten 3/4l in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m and should be winning soon. Useful prospect; 1-1 in bumpers; pleasing second on hurdling debut; should go well.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -21%) The Egyptian Ginge		80 80/1(-21%)																															(6) The Egyptian Ginge 80/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, looking in need of a stiffer test when beaten 8l in a 4yo hurdle at Cheltenham last time; can do better when stepped up from 2m and acts on good ground; more needed in this. Last of five in 4yo event at Cheltenham on hurdling debut; faces another stern assignment.
4	4 |F| (4) (28/1 -40%) Jony R		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Jony R 28/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Down Royal over 2m1f by 9l last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m1f and acts on soft ground; needs more up in grade. Form of Down Royal win has been boosted; more needed but he's going the right way.

Maiden hurdle winner Jony R needs to step up on that form if he wants to bother the unbeaten MASKED MAN. The son of Masked Marvel won a Stowlin point-to-point by 12 lengths before scoring by the same margin on his hurdling bow at Chepstow where he made all the running and, if his hurdling improves, he could be one to follow this season. Double Measure ran well in second on his hurdling debut and can also get involved.

Olly Murphy's STICKTOTHEPLAN sets a lofty standard and can extend his winning sequence despite having to concede weight all round.

1	6 1st (6) (15/2 -50%) Lelantos		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(6) Lelantos 15/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Suited by 3m; didn't take to chasing but back in fair form over hurdles off a workable mark. Recent form suggests he can't be comfortably dismissed off 5lb below last winning mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +64%) Ebselysees		12 12/1(+64%)																															(7) Ebselysees 12/1, Pulled up in a 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Blinkers go on for the first time and looks the pick on race times. Best RPRs at Huntingdon; interesting back here, assuming she stays the new trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +50%) Bobalot		4 4/1(+50%)																															(3) Bobalot 4/1, Outpaced and needed the run before returning to form when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle here last time. A strong stayer at 3m and in fair order. Two attempts over C&D comprise a win in April and respectable fourth last time; solid.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 -275%) Groom De Cotte		7.5 15/2(-275%)																															(4) Groom De Cotte 15/2, Thrown in on hurdle form and improved up in trip when landing a 3m handicap here by 9 1/2l off 89 last time. Returning from a long layoff, usually held up, remains well treated on old form; and looks among the contenders. Successful over hurdles/fences in two of last three starts, latest at Huntingdon in March.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 -10%) Icaque De L'isle		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(1) Icaque De L'isle 11/4, Needed the run when third beaten 8 1/4l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester on latest start. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3m, acts on any ground, and currently in fair form. May progress with Worcester reappearance under his belt; Tom Hutsby takes off handy 7lb.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/3 +49%) Touchwoodexpress		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(5) Touchwoodexpress 10/3, Scored by 3l off 94 over 3m2f at Newton Abbot two runs back. No obvious excuse when fifth beaten 57l off 96 last time. Effective around 3m on good ground but jumping can be an issue over fences and form is inconsistent. Beaten long way last time; possibilities if back to the form of his reappearance win.
7th	2 7th (2) (17/2 +15%) The Wise Traveller		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(2) The Wise Traveller 17/2, Won by 1l off 97 at Plumpton three starts ago. Taken on up front and unable to dominate when seventh beaten 17l off 99 last time. Prefers to make the running and is suited by 3m on good ground. Three C&D wins, including in this race two years ago; last two efforts don't augur well.
8	8 |PU| (8) (33/1 +50%) Precious Jean		33 33/1(+50%)																															(8) Precious Jean 33/1, Pulled up in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Plumpton on latest outing. Up against it and yet to show any worthwhile form. Handicap debutante who has dismal form claims and is well out of the weights.

Bobalot won by two lengths over C&D in April, but he has 4lb more from the handicapper and may have to settle for a place. Touchwoodexpress might be worth another chance after winning at Newton Abbot in September before a poor effort at Ludlow, but ICAQUE DE L'ISLE is preferred. Third over 2m4f at Worcester, the step up in trip will suit and he should be spot-on now.

Having been successful in two of his last three appearances, GROOM DE COTTE (nap) may well be the answer. Bobalot is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (13/8 +64%) Etna Bianco		1.625 13/8(+64%)																															(4) Etna Bianco 13/8, Yard won this race last year. Very promising hurdle debut when 3 1/4l third in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time. A 3m point winner and effective at 2 1/2m under rules; should improve for the step up in trip, with the trainer in good form. Still open to improvement and his yard has won this race twice in the last three years.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/4 +59%) Big Ticket		2.25 9/4(+59%)																															(6) Big Ticket 9/4, Made a very promising debut when second, beaten a length, in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Aintree last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and the debut form looks solid; should remain competitive. Has shown plenty of promise with win in Irish point and second in Aintree maiden hurdle.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/4 -120%) Off The Jury		2.75 11/4(-120%)																															(5) Off The Jury 11/4, Runner-up, beaten a neck, in the Betfair NH Novice Handicap Hurdle Final over 2m4f at Sandown last time. Returning from a long layoff. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m; strong handicap form sets the standard and should go close if fit. 0-8 under rules but sets the form standard in this field on debut for new connections.
4	3 4th (3) (80/1 -100%) Alan Bresil		80 80/1(-100%)																															(3) Alan Bresil 80/1, Outpaced but showed promise when 10l third in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Kempton on debut. Effective at 2m5f and acts on good ground. Looks a strong stayer and should improve for that initial experience. Has shown ability but needs plenty of improvement; bottom on bare figures.
2	2 |PU| (2) (13/2 -63%) Percy Shelley		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(2) Percy Shelley 13/2, Ran a fine race when second, beaten a neck, in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time. Effective from 14f to 16f and acts on good to soft, good, and good to firm ground. A consistent sort and useful recruit to hurdles; may be suited by a flatter track. Has form figures of 112 since switched to hurdles; ran well at Cheltenham last time.

Off The Jury has yet to score over timber but it isn't for the want of trying. The six-year-old was last seen finishing a narrow second in the EBF Final at Sandown in March and is respected ahead of his return, but the vote goes to PERCY SHELLEY. A useful horse on the level, he made a seamless transition to hurdling at Uttoxeter before walking over at Ludlow. James Owen's gelding lost little in defeat when beaten a neck at Cheltenham next time and further improvement is plausible. Big Ticket is also noted.

Off The Jury is the form pick, while BIG TICKET and Etna Bianco are interesting types with progress on the cards.

Smart hurdler last term although he failed to run to expectations on two British raids.

Useful novice hurdler last season, unseated on chase debut, tame effort at Down Royal.

KITZBUHEL is a smart recruit to fences and may prove difficult to beat. The French import joined Willie Mullins last season and scored twice over hurdles, including the Grade 3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran. Riding arrangements suggest Shuffle The Deck is preferred of the JP McManus-owned quintet, and the point-to-point winner was successful twice over hurdles at Naas. James's Gate also won twice over hurdles last term, while Cork maiden hurdle winner Sky Lord is another interesting prospect.

Willie Mullins has won the last two editions of this race with Gaelic Warrior and Ballyburn. KITZBUHEL has good claims on hurdles form

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 0%) David's Well		3 3/1(0%)																															(4) David's Well 3/1, Well backed, improved markedly from debut when landing a handicap by 5l off 113 at Chepstow last time; returning from long layoff; effective around 2m, acts on S, G; more to offer over fences. 2-2 over fences, both last December; returns from absence but with trainer in good form.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +29%) Escapeandevade		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(5) Escapeandevade 5/2, Made too much use of and needed the run when beaten 2l off 118 over 2m1f at Worcester last time; enjoys making the running; effective at 2m, acts with cut; on a fair mark and could come on for latest run. Runner-up on last month's stable/seasonal debut at Worcester and that form reads well.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 +33%) Miralago		12 12/1(+33%)																															(3) Miralago 12/1, Improved when second, beaten 16l, in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Ffos Las last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, suited by plenty of cut; highly tried in France and better latest. 5-time French winner; open to improvement on second stable run but may again be vulnerable.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 +15%) Sunnyvilla		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(7) Sunnyvilla 11/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Ayr last time; trainer in form; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good ground; needs improvement. 10yo who won over C&D last December on stable/seasonal debut; no surprise to see bold show.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +8%) Gentleman Bill		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(2) Gentleman Bill 11/4, Travelled well and ran to form on chase debut when beaten 4l off 123 at Aintree last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground; generally consistent performer. Third of six at Aintree on chase debut in what could turn out to be a hot little race.
6	6 |F| (6) (14/1 -40%) Netywell		14 14/1(-40%)																															(6) Netywell 14/1, Made mistakes and ran below form on ground a bit quicker than ideal when well beaten in a handicap chase at Aintree last time; effective at 2m, suited by plenty of give; now dropping back towards a workable mark. Well-handicapped C&D winner but not at the top of his game on his two outings this autumn.
1	1 |PU| (1) (66/1 -164%) Cossack Chach		66 66/1(-164%)																															(1) Cossack Chach 66/1, Benefitted from a pace collapse when winning a beginners' chase at Sligo over 2m2f by 4l last time; effective up to 2m7f, acts on soft and good ground; has more to offer over fences. Won at Sligo in October 2024 but absent since and may be best watched on his stable debut.

Sunnyvilla won over C&D last December and although now a veteran, he has gone well fresh before and could surprise a few. ESCAPEANDEVADE caught the eye when second at Worcester on his first start for Harry Derham and although upped 1lb for that, he is entitled to improve for his first start since March. David's Well arrives unbeaten over fences after wins at Leicester and Chepstow and is another to take seriously.

This can go to GENTLEMAN BILL whose chase debut third at Aintree four weeks ago bodes very well for his prospects over fences.

1	1 1st (1) (7/4 +13%) Molto Bene		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(1) Molto Bene 7/4, Improved when dropped in grade on chase debut, jumping boldly in front to land a handicap by 6l off a mark of 110 over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective at 2 1/2m on soft and good ground; in good form. Made all for 6l win on seasonal/chase debut at Bangor; big player if she builds on that.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 +17%) Tankardstown Diva		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(5) Tankardstown Diva 10/3, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a length off a mark of 103 at Ludlow last time; thriving for new yard; remain competitive back over fences. Won last two of four hurdle races for new stable; commands respect on return to chasing.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -186%) Presenting A Queen		10 10/1(-186%)																															(3) Presenting A Queen 10/1, Fell in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Hereford last time when well fancied; effective at 3m and suited by decent ground; consistent and well treated if showing her ability after a layoff. Fell heavily on recent seasonal/stable debut but remains well handicapped.
4	2 4th (2) (10/3 +5%) Lahinch Wave		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(2) Lahinch Wave 10/3, Below debut form when dropped in trip, comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; stays 3m and acts on good ground; on a good mark based on hurdle form, with more to come. Low-mileage 7yo; below form last month but her chasing debut in September was promising.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +0%) Jacks Touch		25 25/1(+0%)																															(6) Jacks Touch 25/1, Finished fourth, beaten 39l in a conditions race at Fakenham P-T-P Course last time; plenty to prove back under rules. Poor form in points for owner-trainer in first half of year; now back with Sarah Humphrey.
4	4 |PU| (4) (9/2 +36%) Baby Sage		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(4) Baby Sage 9/2, A bit below form when upped in grade but not disgraced, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Ludlow last time; returning from a long layoff and should be in the mix. 1-6 over hurdles; open to improvement over fences but absent since February.

Jacks Touch has failed to complete on her last two starts, but she did win here over shorter off this mark in January 2024 and cannot be ignored. Tankardstown Diva switches back to fences after winning her last two over hurdles but is yet to score over the bigger obstacles, and MOLTO BENE is preferred. She made a successful chasing debut at Bangor by an easy six lengths and could go on to better things.

Preference is for TANKARDSTOWN DIVA, who reverts to chasing after two hurdle wins this autumn.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +38%) Rockola Vogue		4 4/1(+38%)																															(3) Rockola Vogue 4/1, Improved when benefitting from a strong pace and a drop in trip, landing a handicap by 4l off 115 over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; usually held up and effective around 2½m on good to soft or good ground; progressive. Did it smoothly at Bangor for third win at about 2m4f; bit more to prove at this trip.
2	10 2nd (10) (6/1 +25%) Star Walking		6 6/1(+25%)																															(10) Star Walking 6/1, Below form back in a handicap and made a noise in running when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on soft or good ground; well treated on Listed form but inconsistent. Tailed off in both her handicaps; had wind surgery in September; needs to resume progress.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 +10%) Porter In The Park		18 18/1(+10%)																															(4) Porter In The Park 18/1, A bit below form up in grade when 9½l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Wincanton most recently; effective from 2½m to 3m and needs a sound surface; back on a competitive mark. 4-23 over hurdles, so a lot more exposed than some of these; respectable last two outings.
4	12 4th (12) (9/4 +50%) Bobbi With An I		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(12) Bobbi With An I 9/4, Had too much to do under a negative ride when returning from a break, beaten 3¼l off 104 over 2m3f at Exeter last time; trainer in good form; effective around 2½m and could improve for further; mark looks fair. Staying-on fourth at Exeter (2m2f, good; 16-1) 15 days ago was a highly positive return.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -100%) Shantwopointfive		22 22/1(-100%)																															(1) Shantwopointfive 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Kempton last time, previous hurdle form since franked but must bounce back. Recent chase debut went badly; hopefully can resume progress now she's back hurdling.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -167%) Spit Spot		12 12/1(-167%)																															(8) Spit Spot 12/1, Ran to form and was suited by a positive ride when landing a handicap by a neck off 110 at Perth last time; effective from 2m to 3m and has progressed since moving up in distance; may have more to offer judged on Flat form. Upped to 3m for Perth wins on last two starts; raised another 5lb in a stronger race.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -65%) Moviddy		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Moviddy 33/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Fakenham last time; fair mark on chase form so not dismissed. Well handicapped on plenty of chase efforts but disappointing on last month's return.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 +17%) Gaye Legacy		10 10/1(+17%)																															(6) Gaye Legacy 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; effective at 3m and acts on good to soft or heavy; consistent prior to that effort and mark looks fair. Ran as if something amiss in April last time; each-way player if returning at her peak.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -175%) Notnowlinda		33 33/1(-175%)																															(7) Notnowlinda 33/1, Outpaced and needed the run when appearing unsuited by a drop in trip, finishing down the field in a 2m handicap hurdle at Newbury most recently; in good form beforehand and effective over 2m to 2½m; likely to appreciate a return to further. Should stay beyond 2m5f; off 532 days before tailed off at Newbury (2m; 25-1) 16 days ago.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -29%) Mermaids Cave		18 18/1(-29%)																															(2) Mermaids Cave 18/1, Travelled well and ran to form when benefitting from a drop in grade to win a claiming hurdle at Huntingdon over 2m by 6l last time; effective from 2m to 2½m and looks progressive. 7 wins in 18 months for James Owen have all been at up to 2m4f; also 2nd over Cartmel 3m1f.
9	9 |PU| (9) (5/1 -11%) Presenting Doy		5 5/1(-11%)																															(9) Presenting Doy 5/1, Outpaced but rallied and improved on better ground on handicap debut when beaten 2l off 109 over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time; stays at least 2m4f and may do better over further; acts on heavy but better form has come on good ground; progressive before her break. Staying-on 2nd on 2m4f handicap debut; brings potential to this second season under rules.
5	5 |PU| (5) (20/1 -122%) Good Look Charm		20 20/1(-122%)																															(5) Good Look Charm 20/1, Below form and failed to stay when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time after a long layoff; effective around 2½m and suited by softer ground, though stamina and going remain concerns. Has a bit to prove for stamina but bids to win first time out for third season in a row.

Plenty of recent winning form to call upon, including the hat-trick seeking Spit Spot, who arrives having notched up a brace of Perth successes. Things didn't go to plan for Shantwopointfive over fences but she ought to be happier back hurdling, while Porter In The Park drops in class after finishing third at Wincanton. With Joe Tizzard's yard firing on all cylinders, it could pay to side with BOBBI WITH AN I. She made a pleasing return over an extended 2m2f at Exeter and looks certain to benefit from a step up in trip.

Joe Tizzard can strike with BOBBI WITH AN I (nap). Shortlisted are Good Luck Charm, Presenting Doy and Shantwopointfive.

2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +42%) Koktail Divin		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(2) Koktail Divin 7/2, Made mistakes and needed the run on chase debut when second, beaten 14l in a beginners' chase over 2m4f at Down Royal last time. Effective around 2½m. A useful hurdler with more to come over fences. Smart hurdler was 4th in a Grade 1 novice; not a bad chasing debut but has to improve.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -60%) Bossofthebrownies		12 12/1(-60%)																															(1) Bossofthebrownies 12/1, Jumped well and went clear with ease, showing improvement up in trip when winning a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse by 13l last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and handles soft ground. Progressive, with more to come over fences. Didn't win over hurdles but improved to score on chasing bow over this trip; more to come.
4	6 4th (6) (5/4 +17%) Rocky's Diamond		1.25 5/4(+17%)																															(6) Rocky's Diamond 5/4, Jumped boldly but hung late and was unlucky when second, beaten ¾l in the Listed Michael Hickey Memorial Chase over 2m7f at Wexford last time. Suited by 3m and handles any ground. More to come over fences from this classy hurdler. Grade 2 hurdle winner won a Galway beginners and 2nd in a Wexford Listed chase; big player.
5	5 |PU| (5) (9/1 +25%) Prends Garde A Toi		9 9/1(+25%)																															(5) Prends Garde A Toi 9/1, From a yard that has won the last two runnings of this race. Ran to form on chase debut when second, beaten 3l in a novice chase over 2m2f at Galway last time. Top jockey returns to ride. Effective from 2½m to 3m and debut form has been franked in a strong handicap. Likely improver up in trip. Decent hurdler was runner-up on chasing debut at Galway but has to raise his game plenty.

Progressive over hurdles last season, ROCKY'S DIAMOND looks the one to beat. The Declan Queally-trained gelding won a Grade 2 at Gowran in January before subsequently finishing fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle. An impressive winner on his chasing debut at Galway in September, he ran into a decent opponent when narrowly beaten at Wexford last time. A Listed winner over flights, Oscars Brother has always given the impression he would make a better chaser. Runner-up on his first two starts over fences, the son of Malinas scored easily on his latest start. Koktail Divin completes the shortlist.

ROCKY'S DIAMOND has made a positive start to his chasing career and a repeat of his Wexford Listed second in open company should do.

Effective at 2m on soft or good to soft ground and has more to offer this season. Lightly raced 5yo who was runner-up in tough handicaps on final three starts last season.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +13%) Andashan		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(6) Andashan 7/2, A bit keen but back to form when third, beaten 6l, after dropping in grade in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft ground and may do better stepping up in trip. Kept on for third on reappearance and the step up in trip could be a positive move.

Has gone close on both outings this autumn and every chance he'll be bang there once more.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +25%) Minella Missile		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) Minella Missile 12/1, Not given a hard time and needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham most recently. Usually held up; effective around 2m4f on soft or good to soft ground; not in the same form since a layoff. Grade 2 novice winner in 2023 but missed all of 2024 and hasn't posed a threat this year.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -52%) Kinbara Firstdraft		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Kinbara Firstdraft 50/1, Too keen and outpaced but ran to form when beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Perth last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good ground; needs to find more. Some good form last season but returns from break 3lb out of the h'cap; career best needed.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 -27%) The Four Sixes		7 7/1(-27%)																															(1) The Four Sixes 7/1, Landed a Handicap Hurdle by 6l off 137 over 2m5f at Ayr penultimate start; went clear, did it easily, outclassed sole rival when winning a beginners' chase at Wetherby last time; effective 2m3f-2m5f, acts on GS, G; likely to go well back hurdling. Progressive front-runner who has won his last three and can make another bold bid.
7th	8 7th (8) (22/1 +0%) Cormier		22 22/1(+0%)																															(8) Cormier 22/1, Produced his best Flat form since 2023 when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 68 over 1m6f at Nottingham last time. Effective at 2m over hurdles on soft ground; not ruled out. Capitalised on reduced Flat mark last month; soundly beaten on last two hurdle starts.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -12%) Tax For Max		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Tax For Max 28/1, Bit free but ran to his best when third, beaten 8l, in the Grade 2 Elite Hurdle over 1m7f at Wincanton last time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface and appears to be running into form for his new yard. Back from long absence this autumn; respectable efforts of late but needs a bigger run.
9th	3 9th (3) (16/1 -33%) Milldam		16 16/1(-33%)																															(3) Milldam 16/1, Below form when stepped up in grade and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Kelso last time. Trainer is in form. Effective at 2m on soft or good ground; needs to bounce back. Stamina a doubt but this course winner reappears with trainer in fine form; not ruled out.

KABRAL DU MATHAN is stepped up in trip on his first start for Dan Skelton after a neck second at Ayr over 2m on his final start for Paul Nicholls. There is every chance he has improvement to come. The Four Sixes returns to hurdles after winning over fences at Wetherby last month by nine lengths, though Milldam may prove the bigger danger if he gets enough cut in the ground.

The lightly raced 5yo KABRAL DU MATHAN ran some big races in hot handicaps last season and may well improve for the step up in trip.

In good form previously; trainer also in form. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good; quirky but showing plenty of ability and progressing. Not disgraced in a Grade 2 latest and should make presence felt on handicap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -17%) Good To Be Alive		7 7/1(-17%)																															(1) Good To Be Alive 7/1, Below form when stepped up in trip, comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m2f at Kelso last time. Effective at 2m and may need some cut. Still early days and could bounce back. Won in Ireland; unexposed ahead of this handicap debut and best to let the market guide.

Travelled well and ran to form when second beaten 2l off 104 last time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface and in form. Bumped into one at Worcester; now 11lb higher but brings a progressive profile.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +11%) Forget The Way		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Forget The Way 4/1, Quickened clear easily and improved when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off 113 here last time. Suited by 2m and acts on good ground. In form but possibly a little flattered by that claiming win. Made light work of Enthused in a C&D selling handicap here 11 days ago; 4lb higher.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -50%) Enthused		12 12/1(-50%)																															(6) Enthused 12/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Back in form and looks on a fair mark. Might do well to reverse recent course placings with stablemate Forget The Way.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 +27%) Sleeping Late		4 4/1(+27%)																															(7) Sleeping Late 4/1, Raced far too freely and flattened out but still ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Wetherby last time. In good form beforehand; effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Consistent early in career and could improve if settling better. Twice placed in maidens; raced keenly last time; might yet be capable of better.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 0%) Hidalgo De L'isle		20 20/1(0%)																															(9) Hidalgo De L'isle 20/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Carlisle last time. Effective at 2m on good ground but currently out of form. No sign of turning his fortunes around when well behind King Ulanda at Bangor.

KING ULANDA has started the new campaign in excellent form, winning on his Carlisle return before posting a solid effort in defeat at Worcester. That latest effort came quickly after the Carlisle victory, potentially explaining his odds-on reverse, and he can get back on track now after a month-long break. The dangers are track-and-trip scorer Forget The Way and Good To Be Alive.

Although KING ULANDA is 11lb higher than when coming up short at Worcester, the winner has since proved himself well handicapped.

4	1 4th (1) (18/1 -50%) Master Chewy		18 18/1(-50%)																															(1) Master Chewy 18/1, Keen and travelled well, running to form when second beaten 2l in the Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Aintree last time. Effective at 2m and just about stays 2½m; generally consistent. Ran creditably in major handicap at Aintree on reappearance; this is a harder task.
5	5 |PU| (5) (11/4 -38%) Il Est Francais		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(5) Il Est Francais 11/4, A two-time Grade 1 winner who ran to form when 12l third in a Listed hurdle over 2m3f at Compiegne last time. Trip looks ideal; strong claims on KG form. Looks the pick on race times. Prone to poor days but is very talented and holds leading claims if back in top form.

Pic D'Orhy is looking for his hat-trick after taking this in 2023 and 2024, but he may have to settle for second if IL EST FRANCAIS is back to his best. Tom George now trains the seven-year-old, who looked a superstar as a novice when winning the Kauto Star at Kempton but hasn't quite managed to live up to the hype. Reported to be back to his best, last year's King George runner-up could put these to the sword, with Jango Baie the pick for third.

Judged on his peak figures, IL EST FRANCAIS has the best chance at the weights. Pic D'Orhy commands respect back at Ascot.

1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -20%) Dee Capo		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Dee Capo 12/1, Hampered as the race began to develop and never threatened when down the field in the Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham last time; effective around 2 1/2m and acts on any going but inconsistent, with this mark asking more. A Leopardstown beginners' winner last year but soundly beaten twice after; jumping issues.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -67%) High Class Hero		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(1) High Class Hero 10/3, Well backed and improved when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, finishing 4 1/2l third in the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown last time; has a bit to find. Got off the mark over fences here last term before a fine 4th in bet365 Gold Cup; player.

Pulled-up in Munster and Cork Nationals but better over 2m at Gowran since; considered.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -115%) Sa Majeste		14 14/1(-115%)																															(3) Sa Majeste 14/1, Pulled up in the Irish Grand National over 3m5f at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 3m and acts on heavy or good to soft ground; a useful novice last season who returns off a fair mark. Two chase wins last term and 3rd over 3m2f at Cheltenham; this trip looks a bit sharp.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +43%) Shannon Royale		8 8/1(+43%)																															(4) Shannon Royale 8/1, Needed the run when helping set the pace for closers and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Galway last time; enjoys making the running and should be suited by further. Beat High Class Hero in a 3m beginners here last term but form went off; needs a revival.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/8 +59%) Waterford Whispers		1.375 11/8(+59%)																															(5) Waterford Whispers 11/8, Ran to form but looked in need of a stiffer test when 5 1/4l third in a novice chase over 2m2f at Galway last time; wants around 2 1/2m and, having had issues, looks very interesting back up in trip off a lenient opening mark based on debut form. Dual hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but some decent runs; a player on h'cap bow.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +18%) Walnut Beach		33 33/1(+18%)																															(8) Walnut Beach 33/1, Made too much use of the pace and was well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Limerick last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m but inconsistent. Back to the mark off which he won a Killarney listed chase in 2024 but was poor last time.
7	7 |U| (7) (7/1 -56%) Talk In The Park		7 7/1(-56%)																															(7) Talk In The Park 7/1, Hampered early, travelled well and flattened out late when up in trip but far from disgraced, finishing fourth beaten 15l in the Munster National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) over 3m at Limerick last time; effective over 2m6f and may stay 3m with more to come over fences. Yet to win over fences but some decent runs; this trip may suit better than 3m last time.

The Ross O'Sullivan-trained TALK IN THE PARK can open his account over fences. Having been handicapped over the minimum trip, the seven-year-old ran a huge race when runner-up in a beginners chase at Galway in August. Subsequently third on his first start in handicap company at Listowel, he ran well in a much stronger race when fourth in the Munster National last time. Smart hurdler Waterford Whispers has yet to replicate that form over fences, but gives the impression that he has more to offer. It would be no surprise to see an improved performance upped in distance here. High Class Hero, third in the bet365 Gold Cup, has to be respected if fit and ready on his seasonal reappearance.

Having run well in defeat several times in novice events, WATERFORD WHISPERS can get off the mark over fences now entering handicaps

Returning from a long layoff. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft or good ground and retains potential back from injury. 2-2 over fences, looking top-class prospect before injury intervened; the one to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 -11%) Iroko		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(4) Iroko 5/2, Had too much to do after a series of errors when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l, in the Grand National over 4m2f at Aintree last time. Has since undergone a wind operation. Effective from 2m4f to 4m2f on heavy or good to soft; classy but may come on for this. Close second 12 months ago; fine fourth in Grand National; must be respected after wind op.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +36%) Mr Hope Street		14 14/1(+36%)																															(5) Mr Hope Street 14/1, Travelled well and needed the run when not given a hard time but shaped with promise on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Carlisle last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and can do much better if ridden a little more positively. Some promise on chase debut but likely to be outclassed if the others give their running.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 -125%) Knappers Hill		18 18/1(-125%)																															(1) Knappers Hill 18/1, The yard has won three of the last five runnings of this race. Travelled and improved from his debut when winning the Rising Stars Novice Chase (Grade 2) at Wincanton over 2m4f by 4 1/4l last time. Effective around 2m4f on soft or good to soft; more to come over fences. Smart 9yo with a fine strike-rate but meets some promising younger types after long layoff.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 +20%) Butch		8 8/1(+20%)																															(3) Butch 8/1, Made mistakes and lacked the speed of the principals when below form, finishing 3 1/4l third in a novice chase over 2m4f at Carlisle last time. Trainer in form and returning from a long layoff. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on heavy or good to soft; more to come this season. Easy winner on chase debut; bled from the nose next time; unexposed but faces stiff task.

A smart hurdler, THE JUKEBOX MAN is proving even better over the larger obstacles. He followed a Grade 2 success at Newbury with victory in the Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton at the end of last year and Ben Pauling's progressive charge could prove tough to beat on his reappearance. Iroko finished a respectable fourth in the Grand National when last in action and could feature on his first start after a wind operation, while Knappers Hill is worth noting too.

A fascinating contest can go the way of THE JUKEBOX MAN who looked a top-class prospect last season before injury intervened.

1	9 1st (9) (28/1 +30%) A Good Yomp		28 28/1(+30%)																															(9) A Good Yomp 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow latest; hood applied for the first time; effective around 2 1/2m but struggling in handicaps. Pulled up in Chepstow handicap this month and has now been unplaced all six hurdle runs.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +44%) Tramuntana		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(2) Tramuntana 9/4, Well backed but had a lot to do behind an all-the-way winner when 15l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth last time; trainer in form and effective over 2 1/2m; a threat if getting a stiff test. Won over C&D on handicap debut in February and is still open to further improvement.
3	12 3rd (12) (12/1 -140%) Gms Prince		12 12/1(-140%)																															(12) Gms Prince 12/1, Returned to form at a favoured venue, landing a handicap by 3l off 81 over 2m3f at Market Rasen last time; usually held up; effective around 2-2 1/4m and suited by good ground. Off mark over hurdles in September, his 21st attempt; 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable.
4	11 4th (11) (11/1 +39%) Kally Des Bruyeres		11 11/1(+39%)																															(11) Kally Des Bruyeres 11/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; effective over 2m on good ground but currently out of form. Shock 2m maiden winner here last November but generally very disappointing since.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/4 +50%) Kelijoe		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(5) Kelijoe 9/4, Keen and tired late after making a big move off a steady pace when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; tongue-tie first time; more to come over hurdles in handicaps judged on French bumper form. Ran well for a long way when fifth of 16 on handicap debut; can improve here.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -100%) Tarbat Ness		8 8/1(-100%)																															(1) Tarbat Ness 8/1, Ran to form when aided by the race developing early, landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a mark of 56 over 2m at Catterick last time; probably has a bit more to come. Placed over C&D in March and returned from break with career-best Flat run last month.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 +20%) River Rider		40 40/1(+20%)																															(8) River Rider 40/1, Fell when beaten in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; effective over 2m but needs more to defy his current mark. Did not look a likely winner before falling heavily on recent seasonal/handicap debut.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 +9%) Bread And Butter		10 10/1(+9%)																															(4) Bread And Butter 10/1, Returned to form off a reduced mark when beaten 3l off 98 over 2m5f here last time; effective at around 2 1/2m; unreliable but now on a workable mark. Stopped the rot when 33-1 third here (2m4f) recently; remains well treated on old form.
9th	13 9th (13) (28/1 -100%) Rhiannon Ring		28 28/1(-100%)																															(13) Rhiannon Ring 28/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Sedgefield latest; effective over 2m on good ground but remains an exposed maiden. Seemed to be running well before unseating last time but is 0-10 over hurdles now.
6	6 |PU| (6) (12/1 -20%) Market House		12 12/1(-20%)																															(6) Market House 12/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective over 2 1/2m and looks fairly treated on flat form. Three Flat and one hurdle win for new yard this year; disappointing here recently, though.
3	3 |PU| (3) (22/1 -100%) Mexican Stan		22 22/1(-100%)																															(3) Mexican Stan 22/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 20l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Stratford latest; opening mark looks lenient and a longer trip should suit. Showed only minor promise in his 2m qualifying races in February/March; handicap debut.
10	10 |PU| (10) (28/1 -40%) Dotties Star		28 28/1(-40%)																															(10) Dotties Star 28/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Stratford latest; effective over 2m on soft ground; form of hurdles win has taken knocks. Won two-finisher novice in January; unable to land a telling blow on recent handicap debut.
7	7 |PU| (7) (33/1 -136%) Tuba		33 33/1(-136%)																															(7) Tuba 33/1, Below form when down the field in a 12f handicap at Leicester most recently; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective over 2m on good ground but still a maiden in both codes. Well beaten on the Flat for new yard last month but still very unexposed over hurdles.

It wasn't the biggest shock when Gms Prince went and won at Market Rasen and Sarah Hollinshead has found her gelding another very winnable opening. He is respected, but TARBAT NESS edges the vote at the other end of the weights. A good third when last seen over timber at Hexham in May, John Berry's charge must have a good chance coming here race-fit following a successful spin on the Flat at Catterick. Tramuntana is noted too.

Topweight TARBAT NESS ran well in defeat over C&D in March and looked in excellent nick when winning on the Flat last month.

Second in 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March makes this an attractive mark.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -75%) Lord Accord		14 14/1(-75%)																															(8) Lord Accord 14/1, Improved on recent efforts in first-time blinkers, winning a 3m2f handicap by 3l off 123 at Fontwell last time; wants 3m+ and a sound surface; back in form and has won off higher marks previously. Found plenty to see off Largy Poet at Fontwell (3m2f) when blinkers replaced cheekpieces.
3	12 3rd (12) (11/1 +8%) My Silver Lining		11 11/1(+8%)																															(12) My Silver Lining 11/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 10l, in a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell last time; suited by trips beyond 3m and acts on any ground; not quite the force of old but below last winning mark and could build on latest run. Last term fell way short of what she did the season before; satisfactory fourth last month.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -56%) Credo		25 25/1(-56%)																															(5) Credo 25/1, Outpaced and needed the run when third, beaten 12l, in the Badger Beers Handicap Chase over 3m1f at Wincanton last time; effective beyond 3m, acts on any ground and is consistent. Respectable third on reappearance; stays 3m5f but to win this will require a career best.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 +17%) Regarde		5 5/1(+17%)																															(10) Regarde 5/1, Travelled well and ran to form, just flattening out late up the hill behind race-fit rivals when beaten 1 1/4l off 120 over 3m1f at Cheltenham last time; suited by 3m+ on good ground and in good form. Did well over 3m4f last term; made creditable reappearance; major each-way candidate.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -33%) Our Power		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Our Power 8/1, Fell early in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Aintree last time; effective at 3m and beyond; generally consistent recently and this test should suit. Scottish National 3rd in April and won his only start here (2022); fell on reappearance.
7th	3 7th (3) (25/1 -56%) Manothepeople		25 25/1(-56%)																															(3) Manothepeople 25/1, Never travelled and was outclassed, finishing down the field in a 3m1f handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; effective at 3m on good ground; best efforts come at Cheltenham and his mark looks about right. Stays 3m2f well; lacklustre show at Cheltenham four weeks ago is offputting.
8th	9 8th (9) (8/1 +20%) Snipe		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Snipe 8/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6l, in the Sodexo Live! Gold Cup over 3m here last time; ideally wants 3m and is in fair form. Staying-on fourth here (3m) last time was his best run this autumn and gives renewed hope.
4	4 |PU| (4) (7/2 +50%) Aspurofthemoment		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(4) Aspurofthemoment 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 126 over 3m at Limerick last time; progressive and stays up to 3m so far; of interest for top Irish yard. Fine third with first cheekpieces (now removed) in 3m Munster National at Limerick latest.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/1 -13%) Largy Poet		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Largy Poet 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 137 over 3m2f at Fontwell last time; effective around 3m and acts on any ground; progressing over fences and should improve for the run; can reverse form with conqueror and ought to go close. 6yo who's been first and second (to Lord Accord at Fontwell) in his only two chases.
11	11 |PU| (11) (22/1 -57%) The Newest One		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) The Newest One 22/1, Needed the run when beaten 10l in a 3m1f handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; effective at 3m on good ground and in moderate form. Cheltenham return four weeks ago was a step back in the right direction; stamina to prove.

Stays 3m2f well; absent since well beaten last autumn and has lowest mark for six years.

Nigel Twiston-Davies won this last year with Beauport and the yard's representative this time is The Newest One, who was far from disgraced when seventh off 1lb higher at Cheltenham on his return to action. He should go well, but REGARDE could have his measure. One of only two previous distance winners in the field, he was beaten just over a length into third in that Cheltenham race and, with improvement expected, he has every chance. Largy Poet and My Silver Lining are others to consider.

A bold show in the Scottish National seals the vote for OUR POWER ahead of Rock My Way, Regarde and Snipe.

1	4 1st (4) (1/5 +60%) Lossiemouth		0.2 1/5(+60%)																															(4) Lossiemouth 1/5, Won the Aintree Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m4f by 3l last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on any ground. A top-class performer whose form was franked last term; the one to beat on return, provided she gets a decent test at the trip. Put two blots on her record last season but should be much too good for these three rivals.
2	1 2nd (1) (28/1 -27%) Glen Kiln		28 28/1(-27%)																															(1) Glen Kiln 28/1, Quickened clear easily to win the Conditions Hurdle here over 2m3f by 3 1/2l last time, backing up recent improvement down in grade. Likes to make the running, effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any ground, and remains progressive. 2m3f course winner last month when suited by race conditions, that is not the case here.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -100%) Ndaawi		18 18/1(-100%)																															(3) Ndaawi 18/1, Stable won this race last year. Ran to form when beaten 7 1/4l in a 2m2f handicap at Newmarket last time, having been in good form beforehand. The top jockey returns to the saddle, and he remains a progressive type. High-class dual-purpose handicapper, steps into the big league now, fit from the Flat.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -43%) Irancy		5 5/1(-43%)																															(2) Irancy 5/1, Yard has won three of the last five runnings of this race. Won the Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) here by 9l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Had an issue but is progressing and already proven at top level as a novice. Ended last season on a high note with two significant wins, stiff task against Lossiemouth.

In the absence of State Man, LOSSIEMOUTH can prove an able deputy for Willie Mullins. A dual Grade 1 winner at this track, the six-year-old mare signed off last season with an impressive victory at Aintree in April. Having always run well off the back of a break, the top-class grey is likely to be fairly straight for this first start of the new campaign. Stablemate Irancy could well represent the biggest danger. A winner here at the Festival in April, the seven-year-old is lightly raced and open to further improvement. Galway Hurdle winner Ndaawi needs to step forward again, but is not without his chance.

Although her 2m efforts last season were not attended by success, LOSSIEMOUTH faces a relatively straightforward task here

Followed five wins with two defeats in the spring; retains potential on handicap debut.
6th	14 6th (14) (22/1 -57%) Nab Wood		22 22/1(-57%)																															(14) Nab Wood 22/1, Improved, won with bit in hand when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 123 at Ayr last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, GS; more to offer. Justified support at Ayr on reappearance; up 5lb but may still be unexposed over 3m+.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +0%) Jingko Blue		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Jingko Blue 12/1, Landed a handicap by 9 1/2l off 140 over 2m4f at Uttoxeter three starts back; unseated latest; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; returning from a long layoff but retains potential. Has won last four completed starts, most recently Grade 2 novice chase; hard to pin down.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -64%) Joyeux Machin		18 18/1(-64%)																															(6) Joyeux Machin 18/1, Had too much to do after being hampered by a faller when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground; can go well. 0-6 since joining current yard but has been running respectably; return to 3m should suit.
9th	16 9th (16) (66/1 +0%) Karafon		66 66/1(+0%)																															(16) Karafon 66/1, Had every chance but needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Carlisle last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground; should come on for the return. Went off boil last season and limited encouragement on reappearance; enough to prove.
1	1 |F| (1) (22/1 -57%) Shoot First		22 22/1(-57%)																															(1) Shoot First 22/1, No-show down in trip when comfortably held in the Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle (Grade 3) over 2m at Tipperary last time; effective up to 3m, acts on heavy and good ground; should come on for the return and won this last year. No form since winning this race 12 months ago, although 2m was inadequate on reappearance.
10th	13 10th (13) (33/1 -83%) Titan Discovery		33 33/1(-83%)																															(13) Titan Discovery 33/1, Returned to form, needing every yard of the longer trip when landing a Weatherbys Racing Bank Handicap Hurdle by a head off 123 at Windsor last time; returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on soft and good ground; should come on for that. Not seen since game success at Windsor in January; going the right way but now 6lb higher.
11th	4 11th (4) (50/1 -52%) Red Risk		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Red Risk 50/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Ayr most recently; in good form prior; effective up to 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground; may need this. Veteran; won in big field at Uttoxeter in the spring; may be vulnerable to younger legs.
12th	5 12th (5) (4/1 +20%) Ma Shantou		4 4/1(+20%)																															(5) Ma Shantou 4/1, Did it comfortably, improved down in grade when landing a Handicap Hurdle by 3l off 129 over at Cheltenham last time; suited by 3m, acts well on GS, G; progressive. Up 9lb for comfortable success at Cheltenham four weeks ago; unexposed; major player.
13th	9 13th (9) (6/1 +40%) Navajo Indy		6 6/1(+40%)																															(9) Navajo Indy 6/1, Improved when relishing the step up in trip, just beaten by race-fit rivals by 4l off 129 over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground; can go well. Likeable sort with solid form in hot handicap hurdles; strong claims if staying this trip.
14th	8 14th (8) (33/1 +34%) I Love My Baie		33 33/1(+34%)																															(8) I Love My Baie 33/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on soft and good ground; better than the result suggests. Form has plateaued since last win at Newbury in March 2024; will need a career best.
3	3 |PU| (3) (33/1 -32%) Harbour Lake		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) Harbour Lake 33/1, Ran to form and got first run when landing a Long Distance Handicap Hurdle by a neck off 140 here last time; effective at 3m, acts on soft and good ground; could do better again. C&D winner in May; returns off career-high mark but goes well fresh; should be thereabouts.
15	15 |PU| (15) (40/1 -21%) Esprit Du Potier		40 40/1(-21%)																															(15) Esprit Du Potier 40/1, Ran to form despite absence when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time; enjoys making the running; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on heavy and good ground; should improve for the return. 4-11 under rules; probably needed reappearance behind Nab Wood at Ayr; must be respected.

MA SHANTOU landed a competitive handicap at Cheltenham on last month's comeback. Emma Lavelle's charge is taken defy a 9lb rise given the ease of that success and edge out Ace Of Spades over this trip. The latter scored over 2m4f at Aintree on his reappearance and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Horaces Pearl makes his handicap debut having placed in Listed company at Perth back in April.

There's a good chance NAVAJO INDY (nap) can improve for today's further step up in distance and he's an appealing option in a warm race.

Didn't go on after winning a maiden hurdle for Harry Fry and was sold on for £13,000.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +43%) Kankin		8 8/1(+43%)																															(7) Kankin 8/1, Had every chance but ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; has a chance if bouncing back. Hurdling of late; both wins over fences and he's dropped to a dangerous mark.
4	10 4th (10) (40/1 -60%) Meranti		40 40/1(-60%)																															(10) Meranti 40/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a 3m1f handicap chase at Warwick last time; effective around 3m on good ground; must prove ability remains after a layoff. 0-11 overall and was tailed off in a Warwick chase on return from a long absence.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -60%) Song Of Earth		40 40/1(-60%)																															(6) Song Of Earth 40/1, Unsuited by how the race developed when well beaten in a 2m2f handicap chase at Taunton last time; back from a long layoff; usually held up; effective 2½–3m; needs to show some spark. Seemingly not the force of old and this 10yo now returns from a year off; best watched.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +10%) Stardhem		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(3) Stardhem 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest; trainer in form; effective at around 2½m on good to soft or good; needs to leave reappearance run behind.

Runner-up last time; does have his share of off days but very capable off this mark.
5	5 |PU| (5) (4/1 +11%) Strolling Along		4 4/1(+11%)																															(5) Strolling Along 4/1, Keen and travelled well before flattening out up the hill when fourth, beaten 16l, on chase debut in a Plumpton handicap; usually held up; effective 2½–3m; worth another go at 3m if settling better. Placed here over hurdles; beaten 16l on chase debut but should be all the sharper here.
4	4 |PU| (4) (5/1 -264%) Grain Trade		5 5/1(-264%)																															(4) Grain Trade 5/1, Won by 6l off 79 over 2m3f at Market Rasen two starts ago; fell late when running on and would've gone close in latest handicap chase; effective 2½m on good ground; progressing over fences. 5lb higher than when falling at Fontwell where he appeared to have it in the bag.
8	8 |PU| (8) (10/1 +50%) Amazing Cleni		10 10/1(+50%)																															(8) Amazing Cleni 10/1, Keen and found little up in trip when finishing down the field in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; cheekpieces on first time; has a bit to find. Horses from this yard often make better chasers and cheekpieces are added.
11	11 |PU| (11) (50/1 +0%) Megascope		50 50/1(+0%)																															(11) Megascope 50/1, Unseated in a 2m handicap chase at Ludlow latest; effective around 2½m on good ground; yet to show much over fences. In a remote second when unseating late on at Ludlow; that was an eventful race.

GRAIN TRADE looks worthy of another chance having looked to have the race in the bag at Fontwell before falling at the last. A ready winner at Market Rasen before that, another bold bid looks assured given his current frame of mind. Boys Of Wexford arrives with a fighting chance on the back of finishing second at Fontwell, while Strolling Along is not badly treated on his best form over hurdles and could also feature.

An open handicap. STARDHEM edges preference now he returns to the scene for both his chase wins.

1	9 1st (9) (6/5 +13%) Wodhooh		1.2 6/5(+13%)																															(9) Wodhooh 6/5, Rallied gamely and came clear with a top-class winner when second beaten 3l in the Aintree Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m4f last time. Effective around 2½m; hugely progressive and the one to beat down in grade. Highly progressive mare who is 7-8 over hurdles; has the best chance at the weights.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +73%) Celtic Dino		2 2/1(+73%)																															(6) Celtic Dino 2/1, Ran to form back from a break when winning a handicap hurdle at Chepstow over 2m by 2¼l last time. Enjoys racing prominently; effective over 2m and suited by a sound surface; continues to progress. Solid reappearance win; progressive contender who is bred to stay this new trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 -80%) Potters Charm		9 9/1(-80%)																															(4) Potters Charm 9/1, Fell in the bet365 Hurdle (Grade 2) over 3m at Wetherby last time. This is his second run after wind surgery; best at around 2½m and may have more to come as a stayer. Faller when favourite on reappearance; may still have more to offer; remains of interest.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -56%) Kateira		14 14/1(-56%)																															(8) Kateira 14/1, Ran to form when her sole rival massively underperformed, winning the bet365 Mares' Hurdle (Listed) at Wetherby over 2m by 28l last time. Effective from 2m to 3m, suited by a sound surface; consistent performer. Useful mare but may struggle to defy a 4lb penalty for Listed reappearance win.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 -20%) Altobelli		9 9/1(-20%)																															(5) Altobelli 9/1, Stable has won two of the last nine runnings of this race. Well beaten in the Ivy Liverpool Hurdle (Grade 1) over 3m1f at Aintree last time. Effective around 2½m and suited by a sound surface; a progressive handicapper but may be vulnerable at this level, though he has an excellent Ascot record. 2-2 over C&D, namely useful handicap wins; interesting back in this scenario.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 +15%) Winter Fog		28 28/1(+15%)																															(7) Winter Fog 28/1, Travelled well but found little, not asked a serious question when fourth beaten 7l in the bet365 Hurdle (Grade 2) over 3m at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2m to 3m; best in small fields when ridden to pick up the pieces. Irish veteran who is still seeking first win above Grade 3 level.
7th	2 7th (2) (80/1 -60%) Gwennie May Boy		80 80/1(-60%)																															(2) Gwennie May Boy 80/1, Made mistakes and ran below form, possibly finding the ground a bit quick when comfortably held in the Select Hurdle (Grade 2) over 2m6f at Sandown last time. Trainer in form and may prefer slightly easier ground. Faces a difficult task under 6lb penalty back down in distance; stable debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -100%) Crambo		28 28/1(-100%)																															(1) Crambo 28/1, Winner of two Grade 1s; made too much use of when well beaten in the Champion Stayers Hurdle (Grade 1) over 3m at Punchestown last time. Suited by 3m and probably best on decent ground; may need this reappearance. Record of 3-3 at Ascot but has to overcome 6lb penalty and drop back in trip.

WODHOOH found only the top-class Lossiemouth too good in Grade 1 company at Aintree in April. She won the Martin Pipe in fine style at Cheltenham before that and Gordon Elliott's mare will likely take all the beating on these terms. Kateira returned to action with a defeat of an admittedly below-par Golden Ace at Wetherby and steps up in trip with a shout, while three-time Grade 2 winner Nemean Lion showed good progress last season and makes more appeal than Potters Charm and Celtic Dino.

On favourable terms back down in grade, WODHOOH is the strongest contender. Potters Charm is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +22%) Son Of Anarchy		7 7/1(+22%)																															(3) Son Of Anarchy 7/1, From the yard that won this last year; ran to form when fourth beaten 22l in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Galway last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2m to 2 3/4m, handles any ground; consistent type who may find a little more in handicaps. Runner-up in a C&D maiden hurdle but below that level at Galway since; has to jump better.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 -64%) Rakki		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(8) Rakki 9/2, Ran to form when winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Roscommon by 5l last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Fairly treated on UK form with more to come for this yard. Won a 2m Roscommon maiden hurdle last time; big player if staying plus ground is a query.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/2 +17%) Sticwiththeprocess		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(6) Sticwiththeprocess 5/2, Ran to form and idled when winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse by 2l last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles cut. More to come in handicaps, mark looks lenient though can race lazily. Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over 2m; stays this trip and go close with cheekpieces on.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 +0%) Union Park		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Union Park 33/1, Back up in trip but failed to get home when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and generally better over fences. Not beaten far last time and is dropping down the handicap but others make more appeal.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +64%) Saint Le Fort		4 4/1(+64%)																															(5) Saint Le Fort 4/1, Had too much to do and was unsuited by the drop in trip when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a 2m handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2 1/2m and may stay a bit further. Better at Cork last time over 2m; the step back up in trip can suit and one to consider.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 -20%) Aruntothequeen		9 9/1(-20%)																															(7) Aruntothequeen 9/1, Improved again when second beaten 4l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m. A progressive Listed bumper winner who can improve over hurdles with jumping experience; opening mark may prove lenient. Listed bumper winner but not as good over hurdles so far; needs more on handicap bow.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +22%) Rockymountainbleu		7 7/1(+22%)																															(1) Rockymountainbleu 7/1, Ran to form when tiring late back from a break, finishing fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and a consistent performer. C&D winner ran well on comeback here last time; should be a big player off the same mark.
8th	13 8th (13) (28/1 -100%) Catchabird		28 28/1(-100%)																															(13) Catchabird 28/1, Ran a bit below form but was not disgraced having done plenty early when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a 2m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m, handles cut and is consistent; may do better over further. Consistent in defeat during the spring over 2m; needs more up in trip back after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +30%) Mic Drop		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Mic Drop 14/1, Had every chance but below form when fourth beaten 18l in a 2m2f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time. Off a short break; acts on any ground and may benefit from a longer trip, though his mark demands more. Maiden over hurdles hasn't been at his best on his last few starts and has to do more.
10th	2 10th (2) (28/1 -133%) Cafe Con Leche		28 28/1(-133%)																															(2) Cafe Con Leche 28/1, Returned to form maintaining a good record here when narrowly landing a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Cork off 112. Effective from 1m2f to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground; consistent on the Flat though less reliable over hurdles. Has to repeat Cork winning form under the same rider but a 6lb rise makes this tougher.
11th	4 11th (4) (18/1 -13%) Collaborative		18 18/1(-13%)																															(4) Collaborative 18/1, Ran to form when third beaten 21l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and may stay further, though the handicapper could now be catching up. Below form when beaten 21l into third at Fairyhouse when last seen; needs best on return.
12th	12 12th (12) (125/1 -279%) Gamigin		125 125/1(-279%)																															(12) Gamigin 125/1, Never threatened when finishing down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Navan most recently. Usually held up. Inconsistent in both codes. Soundly beaten on the Flat lately; has to improve on his hurdles form of earlier this year.
13th	11 13th (11) (28/1 +30%) Quornofamonday		28 28/1(+30%)																															(11) Quornofamonday 28/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap chase at Galway last time. Cheekpieces applied for the first time. Well beaten on last number of starts and cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

A winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month, STICWITHTHEPROCESS can follow up back in handicap company. Having landed the odds in a maiden hurdle, the handicapper decided to leave him on the same rating and with the form of his previous run in handicap company having been well advertised by the winner, the Ted Walsh-trained gelding could be nicely treated. Collaborative, who was a well-beaten third behind Sticwiththeprocess in April, is almost certainly better than that form suggests. His win at Fairyhouse a couple of months earlier looks strong given the subsequent exploits of the runner-up. Saint Le Fort, who caught the eye at Cork last time, is one to consider for an in-form stable.

Preference is for STICWITHTHEPROCESS who won a 2m maiden at Fairyhouse despite idling and is proven over this trip and ground.

Grade 1 novice winner in February; improvement needed but unexposed and not ruled out.

Cheltenham Festival/Irish National winner; hard to identify the ceiling of his ability.

GREY DAWNING was beaten by Royale Pagaille in this contest 12 months ago but a mistake at the last probably cost him the victory that day. He ended last season with a second in the Bowl at Aintree and a repeat of that level of form may well be good enough given this renewal lacks star quality. Haiti Couleurs, who won the National Hunt Chase and Irish Grand National last season, has the benefit of a recent run. However, the eight-year-old still has plenty to find to beat the selection. Any further rain would help Royale Pagaille's chances of retaining his crown. Cases can be made for both Handstands and Stellar Story, but career bests are required from them.

Last year's runner-up GREY DAWNING is taken to go one better. The 11yo Royale Pagaille is bidding for a race hat-trick.

4	7 4th (7) (13/2 0%) Pippin's Legend		6.5 13/2(0%)																															(7) Pippin's Legend 13/2, Passing Glance gelding starting out in this juvenile bumper; yard in decent form; watch betting. Third foal; dam 2m6f hunter chase and prolific point winner; let the market guide.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 +43%) Mister Coko		2 2/1(+43%)																															(6) Mister Coko 2/1, £15,000 Cokoriko gelding, half-brother to King Song who was useful at 16f. Probably best watched on debut. £15,000 3yo; fourth foal; dam placed in a French bumper.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -10%) Equity Release		11 11/1(-10%)																															(5) Equity Release 11/1, Green and showed minor promise when well beaten in a juvenile bumper here on debut. Effective at 2m, acts on good ground and looks a likely improver. Had his chance before weakening here in October (good), trailing the winner by about 12l.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -38%) Darlson		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) Darlson 11/1, Postponed gelding making his debut. Yard's last winner was a debutant in this sphere; watch betting. Dam 1m7f-2m5f hurdle winner, closely related to bumper and useful jumper Jurby.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 +14%) Ring Commander		12 12/1(+14%)																															(8) Ring Commander 12/1, 9,000 euros Circus Maximus gelding whose dam was very useful over 10f. 9,000euros yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to 6f/1m winner Alabama Boy (RPR 92).
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 -178%) Arc Centurion		25 25/1(-178%)																															(1) Arc Centurion 25/1, Outpaced on debut when beaten 8 1/2l in a juvenile bumper over 1m5f at Exeter. Acts on a sound surface and the step up in trip should suit. Beat one home at Exeter but the winner impressed over hurdles at Warwick on Thursday.

A half-brother to winners on the Flat, EQUITY RELEASE ran well for a long way when fifth over C&D on debut. The runner-up has since boosted that form and it will be no surprise if Shaun Lycett's charge has a say in the outcome. Cotton Socks is a brother to a winner over hurdles and is a newcomer worth noting, while Mister Coko represents an in-form yard and could also shape well.

It's not hard to risk one of the newcomers and COTTON SOCKS is from a good family.

1	3 1st (3) (16/1 +0%) Calico		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Calico 16/1, Improved on recent form when landing a handicap chase by 7l off 142 over 2m at Cheltenham last time. Consistent and effective at 2m. Won at Cheltenham on reappearance but that was perhaps the time to catch him.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -69%) Martator		11 11/1(-69%)																															(6) Martator 11/1, Won this last year; made mistakes and needed the run when comfortably held in the Grade 2 BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Exeter last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m and suited by good ground; handicapper has eased the mark. May revive; record of 3-3 over C&D features a win (off 1lb higher) in this race last year.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +39%) Jpr One		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(2) Jpr One 10/3, Needed the run when 22l third in the Grade 2 BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Exeter last time. Cheekpieces applied for the first time; trainer in form. Effective at 2m on a sound surface, though form has been regressive. Rather disappointing on reappearance; chance depends on the effects of added cheekpieces.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 -7%) Gabriel's Getaway		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(8) Gabriel's Getaway 15/2, Outpaced but rallied for a big effort from out of the weights when beaten 3/4l off 124 here last time. Usually held up; effective from 2m to 2¼m on good ground and could progress this term with a slight step up in trip. Runner-up in two races since wind surgery, latest behind Teddy Blue over C&D; in the mix.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/1 -33%) Kotmask		10 10/1(-33%)																															(9) Kotmask 10/1, Made mistakes, outpaced, and needed the run when comfortably held in a 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m and suited by decent ground; just 1lb above last winning mark and may build on that reappearance. Largely consistent record at Ascot includes a second-place finish in this race last year.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 +31%) Sans Bruit		11 11/1(+31%)																															(5) Sans Bruit 11/1, Made too much use of having been taken on up front and was comfortably held in a Premier Handicap Chase here last time. Previously in good form; bold jumper effective at 2m on good ground, though current mark looks stiff enough. Two notable wins in spring; finished only sixth when favourite over C&D on reappearance.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/2 +38%) Teddy Blue		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(7) Teddy Blue 5/2, Travelled well, idled, and returned to form when landing a Premier Handicap Chase by 3/4l off 131 here last time. Suited by 2m on good ground and remains on a fair mark on his best form, though not the most straightforward. Took his chase record to 3-6 with reappearance success over C&D; commands respect.
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 +39%) Shakeyatailfeather		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(10) Shakeyatailfeather 17/2, Scored by 7l off 122 at Kelso on her penultimate start but flattened out after a late error when fifth, beaten 11l off 130 last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m on decent ground though the handicapper may now have her measure. Fairly useful mare but looks held by a couple of these rivals on C&D form last time.
4	4 |PU| (4) (17/2 +6%) Brookie		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(4) Brookie 17/2, Outpaced but ran to form when 8l third in a 2m handicap chase at Cheltenham last time, not given a hard time. Consistent performer who is effective at 2m. May ideally need a drop in weights; still 19lb higher than for his two wins last term.
1	1 |PU| (1) (18/1 -100%) Boothill		18 18/1(-100%)																															(1) Boothill 18/1, Won this in 2022 and 2023; outclassed when fourth, beaten 46l, in the Grade 1 Clarence House Chase here last time. Returns from a long layoff and is suited by 2m on soft or good ground but probably not heavy; likely to need the run. Record of 3-3 in C&D handicaps includes two wins in this race (2022/2023); not dismissed.

TEDDY BLUE found plenty in the closing stages to triumph over C&D on his return to the fray. A 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him and Harry Derham's charge can confirm his superiority over Gabriel's Getaway. The latter finished a determined second on that occasion and rates a threat once again, while JPR One faced a tough task when attempting to defend his Haldon Gold Cup crown and is preferred to last year's winner Martator back at this level.

All the signs look good for TEDDY BLUE who is taken to follow up his C&D success and confirm placings with Gabriel's Getaway.

1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +44%) Ballyfad		0.909091 10/11(+44%)																															(2) Ballyfad 10/11, From a yard that has won two of the last five renewals; made a game and very promising debut when a 1/2l winner in a bumper at Down Royal. Effective over 2m and could defy a penalty. Point winner took a Down Royal bumper on rules debut; a big player even penalised 7lb.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/4 +8%) Rojuco Mac		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(7) Rojuco Mac 11/4, Produced a very promising debut when third, beaten 9l, in a 2m bumper here. Trainer in form and returning from a long layoff. Effective over 2m, acts with cut, and debut form has been franked. Third in a 2m bumper at this track in February; should run well even after his absence.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -83%) Tountinna		33 33/1(-83%)																															(8) Tountinna 33/1, Showed minor promise on debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a mares' bumper over 2m at Galway. Effective at the trip but needs more to get off the mark. Should have improved from debut and run respectably; hood worn then retained.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 +29%) Raise You Up		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(6) Raise You Up 17/2, 5,000 euros Wings Of Eagles gelding; half-brother to De Tellers Fortune, fair from 24f to 26f. Runner-up on sole point start back; should be capable of a decent showing on rules bow.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -21%) Barrakilla Vage		80 80/1(-21%)																															(3) Barrakilla Vage 80/1, Outpaced before keeping on when beaten 9l in a 2m bumper at Kilbeggan last time. Returns from a short break; effective over 2m and acts on any ground, but needs plenty more to open his account. Modest in points but beaten only 9l in a Kilbeggan bumper in August; has to build on that.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/3 -67%) Grandy Lane		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(4) Grandy Lane 10/3, Made a highly promising bumper debut when second, beaten a head, at Clonmel last time. Effective over 2m and handles soft and good ground. In good form and only just denied by a useful rival. Narrowly beaten in a maiden hurdle and a bumper; ground-versatile and a big player.
7th	1 7th (1) (66/1 -136%) Arctic Craft		66 66/1(-136%)																															(1) Arctic Craft 66/1, Outclassed up in grade when fourth, beaten 29l, in a bumper at Down Royal last time. Returning from a long layoff and effective over 2m, acts on good ground but looks vulnerable under a penalty. Bumper winner in 2024 but absent for over a year so others make more appeal.
8th	5 8th (5) (200/1 -33%) Huckleberry Lad		200 200/1(-33%)																															(5) Huckleberry Lad 200/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a Ladies bumper over 2m at Fairyhouse on his only start. Has plenty to prove. Beaten 40l on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper and is best watched for now.

A promising third on his racecourse debut here in February, ROJUCO MAC can make a winning reappearance. The form of that contest looked above average at the time, and the fourth proved that theory right when subsequently landing a bumper. Unlikely to want for fitness coming from these quarters, the Charles Byrnes-trained gelding can make the breakthrough on this second start. Runner-up on both appearances under Rules to date, Grandy Lane shouldn't be long in registering a first victory. Down Royal bumper scorer Ballyfad has to carry a penalty for that success, but the point-to-point winner has to be respected in his bid to maintain his unbeaten record.

Ballyfad is a big player but may find it hard to concede 7lb to GRANDY LANE, a close runner-up in a Clonmel bumper last time

2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +63%) Sea Legend		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(8) Sea Legend 9/2, Ran as though something was amiss when well beaten in an 8f handicap here last time; effective at 10-11f; in poor form this term and looks vulnerable off this mark. 0-10 for current yard but has become attractively treated.
3	13 3rd (13) (28/1 -75%) Golspie		28 28/1(-75%)																															(13) Golspie 28/1, Below form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; suited by 10-11f; needs to bounce back. 0-14 on AW but has frame possibilities on lots of his form in this sphere.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 -186%) The English Rogue		20 20/1(-186%)																															(10) The English Rogue 20/1, Probably needed the run when beaten 5l in a 7f novice here last time; wears a hood for the first time; effective at 8f; more needed on handicap debut. May progress now handicapping over new trip in first-time hood and tongue-tie.
5th	12 5th (12) (10/3 +26%) King's Hand		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(12) King's Hand 10/3, Too keen but ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 69 over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective at 10f and remains unexposed with more to come. Beaten fav last time but this Prescott runner may still do better; remains of interest.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 -45%) Izzari		8 8/1(-45%)																															(3) Izzari 8/1, Scored by 2l off 70 here penultimate start; too keen, bit below form fourth last time; off a short-break; stays 11f, possibly best 8f, acts on G, AW; in good form. Scored over C&D on penultimate start and has possibilities back in this scenario.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +30%) Bearwith		7 7/1(+30%)																															(6) Bearwith 7/1, Again below form when tried in a tongue-tie and well beaten in a handicap at Redcar latest; returning from a break; suited by 10-12f; needs to bounce back. Won his last AW attempt but that was 19 months ago.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/4 +50%) Light Speed		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(2) Light Speed 11/4, Won by a length off 72 at Beverley in August and ran to form when third last time; effective from 8f to 11f; remains on a competitive mark. Ran creditably at Southwell last time; three AW wins in 2023; fighting chance.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +34%) Present Times		33 33/1(+34%)																															(7) Present Times 33/1, No-show and again below form when finishing down the field in an 8f handicap at Haydock; suited by 8f; yet to prove he has trained on. Poor claims on 2025 form; goes beyond 1m for first time.
10th	9 10th (9) (13/2 +0%) Harswell Ruby		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(9) Harswell Ruby 13/2, Flattened out back up in trip when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a Doncaster handicap; effective at 7-8f and consistent, though the surface may pose a question. In a consistent vein of form on turf of late; placed twice on AW last autumn; solid.

Ed Bethell has booked Archie Young to ride maiden The English Rogue, who steps up to a mile and a quarter for the first time and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour ahead of his handicap debut. Haveyoumissedme sprung a surprise at Redcar but may find this trip on the short side and a chance is taken on BEARWITH, a five-time distance winner having his first start since wind surgery.

Prescott 3yo KING'S HAND is given another chance to confirm the promise of his reappearance run. King Chaos is second pick.

On a career-high mark in a hotter race but this 8yo is clearly thriving and likes it here.
7th	1 7th (1) (17/2 -13%) Famous Bridge		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(1) Famous Bridge 17/2, Below form, first hurdles run since 2022 when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Ayr latest; effective 3m-3m4f, acts on Hy, GS; won this in 2023. Won this in 2023 and could leave his hurdling reappearance well behind now back chasing.
8th	9 8th (9) (5/1 +33%) Major Fortune		5 5/1(+33%)																															(9) Major Fortune 5/1, Travelled well and looked a big threat before tiring up the hill when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l, in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on any ground; in fair form. 0-5 over fences but encouraging fourth at Cheltenham on reappearance and may build on it.

Despite having to carry plenty of weight, FAMOUS BRIDGE tops the shortlist as Nicky Richards' gelding won this race back in 2023 and rarely runs poorly at this venue. When last seen here, the nine-year-old was first past the post in the Grand National Trial in February and, while he was subsequently disqualified from that success, he could make amends off the same mark following a prep over hurdles three weeks ago. Shomen Uchi remains unexposed and has to be of interest in a first-time tongue-tie, while Duke Of Deception and Konfusion are others to note.

The 8yo SHOMEN UCHI has had an interrupted career but can make it 2-2 over fences on his handicap debut. Konfusion is feared.

Last-gasp win when up to 3m at Down Royal (20 runners); British mark looks much stiffer.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -146%) Another Day Out		16 16/1(-146%)																															(8) Another Day Out 16/1, Returned to form down in grade, benefiting from a positive ride at a sharp track when beaten 1 1/4l off 103 at Ludlow last time; enjoys making the running and may prefer slightly easier ground. Best chase efforts, including latest start, read well compared to this handicap mark.

Tailed off last month (2m5f) on debut for new yard when 125-1 in a six-runner race.
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +12%) Aslukgoes		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(5) Aslukgoes 15/2, Back to form proving stamina, doing best of those forcing a strong pace when beaten 2 1/4l off 106 over 2m4f at Southwell last time; off a short break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by good ground, with more to come over hurdles judged on Listed bumper win. Left Ben Brookhouse for £11,000; sense of unfinished business and new trip is interesting.

ABSOLUTELY DOYEN has won both starts since joining Paul Nicholls' yard and might prove the one to side with on his handicap debut, with the longer trip not expected to be an issue. Creadan Grace opened her account with a hard-fought victory at Down Royal, although the Irish raider has a significant hike in the weights to contend with so Another Day Out may rate a bigger threat off a 4lb lower figure back over the smaller obstacles.

Topweight ABSOLUTELY DOYEN is selected for this 3m race on his handicap debut, ahead of Aslukgoes and Creadan Grace.

Rum Therapy scored over a furlong further at Thirsk in September and if she takes to the Tapeta, she has every chance in this field. However, BUTTERFLY BEACH missed the break before running on into third at Lingfield and if she can get away smartly, she might get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Green Dame and Fille Unique are others for the shortlist.

The fact that BUTTERFLY BEACH has gone off a short-priced favourite on all three starts suggests she's well regarded.

Newcomer Thestral looks the part as a son of Dream Ahead and he warrants consideration, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Henriette Ronner drops in class after finishing eighth in a class 2 at Musselburgh, making her difficult to ignore, but AQUA BEAR could be the one. Second at Dundalk on his last start in Ireland, he has moved to Ian Williams, who should be able to get a win out of the Kodi Bear colt.

This looks a good opportunity for the ex-Irish AQUA BEAR, who sets a fairly useful standard on his second at Dundalk last month.

Darn Hot Gallop was always doing enough to win on debut at Wolverhampton, but it was perhaps not sparkling enough to be confident she'll go in again in this company under a penalty. She's certainly not overlooked, but LOMA EXPRESS could be the one getting 7lb on the back of an improved display here last month. Prima Bailarina is respected too.

Loma Express and Darn Hot Gallop are respected but the vote goes to PRIMA BAILARINA, who made a promising start at Redcar.

GREAT SUCCESS made a debut full of promise at Pontefract in August. Third of four that day, he was only beaten three-quarters of a length and left the impression there was plenty to work with. Top Lad will be out to put his superior experience to good use and it was a solid effort in defeat at Musselburgh last time. Keep an eye on See That Spark as well.

There was plenty to like about the debut effort of GREAT SUCCESS at Pontefract in August and he can make it second time lucky.

From a top course trainer; consistent and effective at 6f and 7f. Modest 2-25 strike-rate but running well in defeat of late and can again be thereabouts.

It's surely just a matter of time before ZIGGY'S CONDOR gets back in the winning groove. His last two efforts on the all-weather were perfectly respectable and both came over this trip, while he also performed admirably in a competitive York handicap over 7f on his final turf start of the year last month. He's expected to prove too strong for Sugar Baby and Missmimi.

The rejuvenated THE GREEN MAN (nap) may have completed a C&D hat-trick but for being denied a clear run last time and can make amends.

Fortamour resumed winning ways with a recent C&D success and remains of interest raised only 1lb. Kirkdale looks set to launch another strong challenge after finding one too good here three weeks ago, but ALPINE GIRL makes most appeal. The winner of two of her last three starts, Julie Camacho's improving sprinter scored over today's distance at Redcar with plenty left in the tank and she looks one to keep on the right side of back on the all-weather.

The return to AW could be just what C&D novice winner JUDICATURE needs and he is taken to return to winning ways.

Effective from 10–12f and returns to the all-weather off a fair mark. Promise of 1m1f third in July still fairly fresh in the memory; worth chancing.
5	5 (5) (9/2 -80%) Jesmond Dawn		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(5) Jesmond Dawn 9/2, Improved to win comfortably by 4 1/4l off 58 in a 7f handicap here last time. Effective at 7–8f and acts on a sound surface. In form and still on a competitive mark. Won readily over 7f here latest but a 9lb rise could make things tougher this evening.
12	12 (12) (13/2 -8%) Alpine Sierra		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(12) Alpine Sierra 13/2, Ran to recent level when beaten 6l in a 10f handicap here last time. Effective from 7–10f and acts on the all-weather. Fairly treated and drops in trip. Respectable efforts here recently but has won only one of last 28 starts.
10	10 (10) (7/1 -27%) Powerful Response		7 7/1(-27%)																															(10) Powerful Response 7/1, Had the run of the race and ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 58 here last time. Effective from 8–10f and acts on good and all-weather ground. On a long losing run and back up the weights. 8lb below last winning mark & latest C&D second suggests he may be ready to take advantage.
1	1 (1) (17/2 -31%) Look Back Smiling		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(1) Look Back Smiling 17/2, Ran a bit below form when making late gains to finish 9 1/4l behind in a 7f handicap at Doncaster last time. Usually held up and effective at 7–8f. Respected back on the all-weather. Well treated but whether this slow starter can be trusted to capitalise remains to be seen.
3	3 (3) (17/2 -13%) Jewel Maker		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(3) Jewel Maker 17/2, Won by a neck off 66 over 10f at Redcar three starts ago. Made late headway when just below form in fourth last time. Effective from 8–10f and runs well from this mark. Two turf wins this autumn and fair fourth over C&D latest; thereabouts.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +53%) Cusack		8.5 17/2(+53%)																															(4) Cusack 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 9 1/4l in a 10f handicap here last time. Effective from 7–10f and best on the all-weather. Drop in trip should suit. Not disgraced over 1m2f here last twice and this trip suits him better; enters reckoning.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Tasever		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Tasever 14/1, Didn't find much and again below form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7–8f and mainly campaigned on the all-weather but currently out of form. 4lb below mark he won from here in January but recent efforts not obviously encouraging.
11	11 (11) (22/1 -83%) Star Cast		22 22/1(-83%)																															(11) Star Cast 22/1, Held when hampered and well beaten in a 10f handicap at Doncaster latest. Effective at 10f, not certain to stay 12f, and acts on the all-weather. Dropping again in the weights. Second over 1m2f at Ayr last month but hasn't built on it twice since, including here.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -108%) Book Of Life		25 25/1(-108%)																															(7) Book Of Life 25/1, Slowly away and had plenty to do when beaten 4 1/4l in a 10f handicap at Nottingham last time. Effective around 10f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to find more. AW win in February but possibly best watched for new yard after seven months off.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -79%) Pallas Lord		50 50/1(-79%)																															(9) Pallas Lord 50/1, Again well below form when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Drawn wide but effective at 7–8f and better suited to the all-weather. Needs to bounce back from poor form. Nine-time course scorer; on good mark again but disappointing back here last time.
6	6 (6) (125/1 -150%) Royal College		125 125/1(-150%)																															(6) Royal College 125/1, Not proven on this surface and may not stay after being well beaten in a 12f handicap here last time. Trainer in form. Returns from a long absence and drops in trip off a reduced weight. Changed hands for 1,000gns after tailed off on 12.5f course handicap debut 13 months ago.

JESMOND DAWN returned to winning ways with a vengeance when scoring easily over 7f here. This extra yardage holds no fears for the son of Dawn Approach and he can repeat the dose. Powerful Response proved suited to the drop in trip when runner-up over C&D. He can have a say in proceedings, while the veteran Jewel Maker goes well here and could also land a blow.

In a race where few obviously arrive in form it might be worth giving one more chance to NEWTOWN DUKE.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +79%) Wyvern		2.5 5/2(+79%)																															(1) Wyvern 5/2, Got behind after a slow start when beaten 4l off 54 over 7f here last time; wide draw; effective over 7-8f and acts on the all-weather; needs more than of late. Hard to predict but he's on dangerous mark and has won over C&D; fair 4th here on Thursday.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -45%) Typeface		4 4/1(-45%)																															(3) Typeface 4/1, Below form when beaten 7l in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; usually held up and suited by 8f; bounce back needed. Dual turf winner who didn't shine back on AW latest but he still has potential; in the mix.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +20%) How's The Guvnor		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) How's The Guvnor 4/1, Too keen but ran to form when beaten 1l off 54 over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; effective over 6-7f and acts on the all-weather; respected on that latest run. Close third off much reduced mark at Wolverhampton and has claims if he can back that up.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +70%) Showmedemoney		6 6/1(+70%)																															(2) Showmedemoney 6/1, Well below form when disappointing and well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; absent for a lengthy period; effective around 8f and acts on the all-weather but inconsistent. Has lots to prove after 539 days off and he has poor strike-rate (1-20) on AW.
5	5 (5) (15/2 +25%) One More Bottle		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(5) One More Bottle 15/2, Didn't find much and was well below form when down the field in a handicap over 7f here most recently; effective over 7-8f and acts on the all-weather; inconsistent. Plenty of good efforts since July but he flopped here last time; needs to bounce back.
12	12 (12) (11/1 -83%) Tootsie		11 11/1(-83%)																															(12) Tootsie 11/1, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 48 at Southwell last time; effective over 7-8f and acts on the all-weather; maiden but showing more like it of late. 0-14 but she's been placed at Southwell (1m) in last two runs and should go well again.
13	13 (13) (14/1 +22%) Tiger Tower		14 14/1(+22%)																															(13) Tiger Tower 14/1, Produced best run so far, probably flattered, when well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Ripon last time; usually held up and returning from a break; yet to show measurable form but longer trip may help. Handicap newcomer and he needs checking in market upped to 1m on his return.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -56%) Space Raider		14 14/1(-56%)																															(7) Space Raider 14/1, Took a step back in the right direction, keeping on late when 6l third in a handicap over 10f at Redcar last time; effective over 8-10f; moderate maiden and drop in trip may not suit. 0-13 but respectable third at Redcar (1m2f) last time and he's not ruled out back in trip.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +43%) Water Tiger		16 16/1(+43%)																															(4) Water Tiger 16/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a handicap here most recently; effective over 7f and acts on the all-weather; bit more needed in handicaps. Still early days but he needs a transformation after another short break.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -60%) Bossy Parker		40 40/1(-60%)																															(11) Bossy Parker 40/1, No show and well below form when down the field in a handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; effective over 6-7f with all recent form on the all-weather; bounce back needed. Losing run is up to 19 and he's struggled in both runs since returning after wind surgery.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -21%) Invincible Shadow		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Invincible Shadow 40/1, Too keen and again below best when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Beverley last time; returning from a break; effective over 8-10f and acts on the all-weather; more needed to win. Unexposed 3yo but he needs improvement back in trip on his return.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -25%) Mr Boson		50 50/1(-25%)																															(14) Mr Boson 50/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; off a long absence; effective up to 12f and acts on the all-weather; bit to prove. 15-race maiden and he has plenty to prove after a long absence.

TOOTSIE has been edging closer to that elusive first win. Beaten half a length when runner-up at Southwell recently, Tim Easterby's filly could prove the one to side with. How's The Guvnor returns to this longer distance with a shout having placed over 7f at Wolverhampton, while One More Bottle and Typeface are others capable of making their presence felt.

Preference is for HOW'S THE GUVNOR, who is on a much reduced mark and did well to finish a close third at Wolverhampton 19 days ago.

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.
