Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +0%) Sonic Pioneer	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(8) Sonic Pioneer 7/2, Ran to form when second, beaten a neck in a handicap over 12f at Pontefract last time. Returns from a short break and looks a threat. In good form on the Flat in August/September; brings potential to his hurdling career.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/3 +44%) Zarakerjack	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(9) Zarakerjack 10/3, Ran to form when a length third in a handicap over 12f here last time; should be competitive again. Consistent on the Flat and he's one to be interested in on his hurdle/stable debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (22/1 -83%) Dissident	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Dissident 22/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap over 12f here last time; not out of it. Out of form on the Flat this autumn but showed promise previously; makes hurdle debut.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +0%) Flagon Dry	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Flagon Dry 12/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when second, beaten 7 1/2l in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective over 8f on the Flat and 2m over jumps; probably one for handicaps. Soundly beaten 2nd of 3 finishers at Wetherby on second hurdle start; improvement needed.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/13 -8%) Parchment	0.615385 8/13(-8%)	(1) Parchment 8/13, Promising debut when winning by 1 1/2l in a juvenile hurdle over 2m1f at Clairefontaine; effective over 2m and handles soft ground. Showed a decent level of form in France and worth a market check. Won in France on sole previous start and sets a good standard for the rest to aim at.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 +20%) Oasis Sunrise	80 80/1(+20%)	(10) Oasis Sunrise 80/1, Failed to build on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time; effective over 2m and suited by fast ground. Flat winner who may do better in handicaps. Modest Flat performer who has been soundly beaten at big odds on both hurdle starts.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -52%) Burano Murano	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Burano Murano 50/1, Ran about to form when second, beaten 16l in a handicap over 10f at Ffos Las last time. Returns from a short break and has plenty to find. Displayed some ability on the Flat but improvement needed for the switch of codes.
8th	4 8th (4) (400/1 -167%) Cosmic Spirit	400 400/1(-167%)	(4) Cosmic Spirit 400/1, No worthwhile form so far; wears a hood for the first time. Showed nothing on the Flat at 6-7f or on hurdling debut. Tailed off at big odds on all three Flat runs and same story on hurdle debut at Warwick.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -150%) Modern Style	250 250/1(-150%)	(7) Modern Style 250/1, Outpaced, needed the run and outclassed when 68l third in a juvenile hurdle at Ludlow last time; has everything to prove. Tailed off for Charlie Appleby on sole Flat run and same outcome when 33-1 on hurdle debut.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (400/1 -167%) Praying For Time	400 400/1(-167%)	(11) Praying For Time 400/1, Green and made mistakes when comfortably held in a mares' hurdle at Hereford last time. Wears a hood for the first time and has yet to show much in either code. Low-level maiden on the Flat who was tailed off at 150-1 on recent h'dle debut at Hereford.

A winner over timber on his only start in France, PARCHMENT looks well placed to make a successful start to his career with the in-form David Pipe yard. Flagon Dry, Modern Style and Bouquet De Paris all need significant steps forward from what they have shown in this discipline so far. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sonic Pioneer (rated 76 at his best on the Flat) emerge as the main danger on his hurdles debut.

Having made a good impression on his sole run in France, PARCHMENT is taken to make a winning start for David Pipe.

1	1 1st (1) (8/11 +13%) Amancio	0.727273 8/11(+13%)	(1) Amancio 8/11, Made mistakes but showed improvement down in grade when second, beaten a neck in a novice hurdle over 2m at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m, has handled any ground on the Flat and continues to progress over hurdles. Bettered his winning form when close second at Ludlow last month; ground a worry.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 -17%) Idaho Valley	1.75 7/4(-17%)	(2) Idaho Valley 7/4, Ran to form but tired late after a wind operation when fourth, beaten 7l in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Returning from a long layoff and having his second run post-surgery; effective from 2m to 2½m and consistent. Placed on three of his five hurdling starts last season; ought to play a big role.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 -12%) Killycarn	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Killycarn 28/1, Too free and needed the run on hurdle debut when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Trainer in form; handles good ground but likely to need more time under rules. Second in an Irish point; well beaten after racing too freely in the lead on hurdle debut.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Valette	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Valette 10/1, Jukebox Jury mare; half-sister to For The Cause, who was moderate over 16f; dam was poor over 12f. Does not have a striking pedigree but has travelled from Ireland to make her debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (28/1 -12%) Jack The Boss	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Jack The Boss 28/1, Refused to race in a 2m novice hurdle at Ludlow last time. This is his second start after a wind operation; effective at 2m on good ground but has something to prove after a poor return, and looks the stable's second string. Last season's winning form is worth very little; well held by Amancio on recent form.

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

AMANCIO should take all of the beating. He won his maiden hurdle at Chepstow in taking fashion last season and almost followed up in this company at Ludlow last time. Jockey Isabelle Ryder negates his penalty courtesy of her 7lb claim and he can get the better of point-to-point winner Idaho Valley. Valette would be interesting if there is money around for her.

Amancio has the best hurdling form but IDAHO VALLEY may handle today's conditions better and is given the vote.

12:55 Kempton (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +39%) Old Park Star	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(6) Old Park Star 11/2, Ran to form when finishing 8l third in a bumper at Chepstow on his latest run. Needs to improve. Placed in all 3 bumpers for Paul Nicholls; could have big part to play on h'dle/yard debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 -64%) Un Sens A La Vie	2.25 9/4(-64%)	(2) Un Sens A La Vie 9/4, Far too free up in grade but ran to form when beaten 8l in the Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham last time. In good form prior, effective at 2m, with more to come over hurdles; a point winner who will stay further. Unplaced fav in Cheltenham Grade 2 but return to right-handed track may help; key player.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 +22%) Fortune Timmy	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(1) Fortune Timmy 7/2, Quickened clear cosily when winning a maiden hurdle at Fontwell over 2m3f by 4 1/2l last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft. More to come, though the drop back in trip may not be ideal. Won on hurdle debut at Fontwell, doing it nicely in a race that's working out well.
4	3 4th (3) (11/8 +21%) Wandering Ego	1.375 11/8(+21%)	(3) Wandering Ego 11/8, Went clear with ease when winning a novice hurdle at Stratford by 14l last time. The trainer is in form, and he was progressive in bumpers at 2m. More to come over hurdles and will stay further. Easy win at Stratford; this is hotter but he's a strong candidate nevertheless.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -100%) Urban Isle	80 80/1(-100%)	(7) Urban Isle 80/1, Improved when 7 1/4l third in a 4yo bumper at Huntingdon last time. Hard to recommend. Ability in bumpers but sizeable step forward is needed in warm little race on hurdle debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (300/1 -140%) Johnny Hooves	300 300/1(-140%)	(4) Johnny Hooves 300/1, Never in the race and made a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time. Looks one for further down the line. Half-brother to two winners who is in top hands but beaten a long way on first two starts.

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

it is hard to ignore WANDERING EGO, whose 14-length romp at Stratford has a solid look to it. Sean Bowen's mount could be too pacey for the rest here. Fortune Timmy looked a useful prospect with a ready success on his Rules debut at Fontwell last month. However, that was over 2m3f and he has something to prove over the minimum trip. With that in mind, the class-dropping Un Sens A La Vie could be a bigger danger at this level, although he was a shade disappointing in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time.

There is a firm suspicion UN SENS A LA VIE is better than he showed at Cheltenham and he gets the nod ahead of Fortune Timmy.

1	12 1st (12) (5/4 +64%) Snatch A Glance	1.25 5/4(+64%)	(12) Snatch A Glance 5/4, Had too much to do but shaped very promisingly when third, beaten 2l, in a novice hurdle here on his latest run. Effective at 2m and suited by a sound surface. A bumper winner whose form has been franked and looks sure to improve over hurdles. Won course bumper last month and was clear third in C&D hurdle a fortnight later; player.
2	4 2nd (4) (33/1 -32%) Cheesy Icon	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Cheesy Icon 33/1, A bit free and flattened out when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time, though improved from his debut. Usually held up and showed promise in bumpers but must settle better over hurdles. Ran well to a point last week; has an engine but needs to learn to settle better.
3	13 3rd (13) (7/4 +36%) Super Freddie	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(13) Super Freddie 7/4, Made a promising hurdle debut when just tiring late back from a break to finish second, beaten 12l, in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee. Effective at 2m on good ground and may progress a little further. Runner-up (albeit safely held) on hurdle debut; can make presence felt again.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -79%) Blue Sky Dreaming	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Blue Sky Dreaming 25/1, Showed minor promise on debut when fourth, beaten 20l, in a novice hurdle at Stratford last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft or good ground and should have more to offer over hurdles. Shaped well before fading into fourth on seasonal/hurdle debut; considered each-way.
5th	6 5th (6) (17/2 -13%) Granpa Ger	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(6) Granpa Ger 17/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time after a short break. Effective at 2m on good ground; a consistent but frustrating maiden. Split two subsequent winners when close second on last month's stable debut; respected.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 -120%) Lake Tiberias	5.5 11/2(-120%)	(8) Lake Tiberias 11/2, Made a promising bumper debut when third, beaten 9 1/4l, in a bumper at Chepstow on debut and is not out of it. Placed in Chepstow bumper on last month's debut; likely contender again.
7th	9 7th (9) (125/1 -213%) Lord Cauvelliere	125 125/1(-213%)	(9) Lord Cauvelliere 125/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m and suited by quick ground. A bumper and point winner who needs to show more over hurdles. Won Stratford bumper in May but soundly beaten on both recent hurdling starts.
8th	5 8th (5) (300/1 -200%) Deferred Interest	300 300/1(-200%)	(5) Deferred Interest 300/1, Has shown no worthwhile form and has it all to do. Struggled in three maiden/novice races on the Flat this year; makes hurdle debut.
11	11 \|U\| (11) (66/1 -500%) Run Away Joe	66 66/1(-500%)	(11) Run Away Joe 66/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when 23l fourth in a bumper at Ascot first time out; plenty more needed. Went close in an Irish point in April and last month's bumper debut is best forgotten.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -60%) Alcaraz	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Alcaraz 12/1, Found nil when well beaten in a 10f handicap at Newbury last time but had been in good form before that. The trainer is going well and he looks a contender. Useful on the Flat at around 1m2f; contender if he takes well to hurdling.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -700%) Bourding Pass	200 200/1(-700%)	(3) Bourding Pass 200/1, Showed minor promise on debut when finishing a 16l fourth in a maiden bumper at Hereford first time out but is hard to recommend. Not disgraced in Hereford bumper in April but probably best watched.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -213%) Hopjes	250 250/1(-213%)	(7) Hopjes 250/1, Unseated in a novice hurdle over 1m7f at Wincanton last time and has it all to prove in both codes. Unseated rider at first flight when 200-1 for recent hurdle debut.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (300/1 -200%) Pay Dirt	300 300/1(-200%)	(10) Pay Dirt 300/1, Outpaced and poor on debut when well beaten in a maiden bumper at Stratford on only start. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and has it all to do. Tailed off when 80-1 for Stratford bumper won by Lord Cauvelliere in May.

GRANPA GER filled second place on his debut for these connections over 2m at Uttoxeter last month and, given how well that form has worked out subsequently, the seven-year-old is clearly the one to beat here. The recent C&D third Snatch A Glance could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Lake Tiberias and Super Freddie should not be discounted.

Preference is for course bumper winner SNATCH A GLANCE, who made a good start to his hurdling career over C&D.

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +0%) John Betjeman	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) John Betjeman 11/2, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot most recently. Effective at 2m and acts on any ground. A veteran whose form tailed off in spring but returns off a workable mark. Absent since the spring but makes stable debut from a workable mark; market helpful.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/4 +57%) Bathgate	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(3) Bathgate 6/4, Won this race last year. Never threatened when ridden to see out the trip and was comfortably held in a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Kelso on latest run. Effective at 2m but currently out of form. Two wins (including this race) last season; back on a good mark now; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -100%) Inferno Sacree	4 4/1(-100%)	(1) Inferno Sacree 4/1, Below form when third, beaten 12l, in a 2m handicap hurdle at Plumpton on latest start. Enjoys racing prominently and is effective from 2m to 2m4f. The handicapper has eased him and he could be dangerous if allowed to dictate the pace. Not the force of old but was consistent last season and has travelled from Devon for this.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +36%) Kaviar Wood	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(5) Kaviar Wood 9/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 35l, in a 2m novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Showed minor promise in 2m4f points but looks one for handicaps after this. Well beaten at huge odds in three novice/maiden hurdes; improvement possible in handicaps.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 +50%) Berry Edge	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) Berry Edge 10/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m but has yet to show any worthwhile ability over hurdles. Still unexposed over hurdles but was soundly beaten over C&D on recent handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (16/1 -167%) Cross Of Redmoor	16 16/1(-167%)	(8) Cross Of Redmoor 16/1, Improved a little when fourth, beaten 10l, in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here on latest start. Returns from a short break. Effective at 2m4f and may stay further, but 2m looks an inadequate test. Respectable fourth on handicap debut here (2m4f) in September but needs improvement.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -100%) Macho Sun	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Macho Sun 100/1, Saddle slipped when finishing down the field in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen on latest start. Effective at 2m but has been in poor form in both codes for some time. 0-17 on the Flat and yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 -167%) Kingston Rock	16 16/1(-167%)	(7) Kingston Rock 16/1, Below form when comfortably held in a 2m maiden hurdle at Hexham on latest outing. Effective at 2m but remains an exposed maiden who looks flattered by earlier form. Excelled himself when third in Hexham maiden in March but overall profile unconvincing.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (50/1 -100%) Nottodaybobo	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Nottodaybobo 50/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Best at around 2m on good ground, though his form has declined since moving from Ireland. Ran well on stable debut in July but two heavy defeats have followed.

Bathgate has won here before and commands respect, while Kaviar Wood is expected to show improved form now he's sent handicapping. That being said, INFERNO SACREE gets the verdict because he's dropped in class and is beginning to look really well handicapped again off 99. You only have to go back three starts for when he finished second here off 103.

Last year's winner BATHGATE is back on a good mark and hinted at a possible return to form at Kelso recently.

1	3 1st (3) (11/4 -10%) Jax Junior	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Jax Junior 11/4, Jumped well and made a promising debut when second, beaten 16l, in a beginners' chase over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and should improve back up in trip. Three-time novice hurdle winner who is open to improvement on his second chase start.
2	4 2nd (4) (1/1 +0%) Jeriko Du Reponet	1 1/1(+0%)	(4) Jeriko Du Reponet 1/1, Yard won this last year; travelled well and ran to form when reversing Cheltenham form with stablemate to win a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown over 3m by 4 1/4l last time; top jockey back on board and the pick on balance of form. Pulled up on sole previous chase start but tough to beat if transferring his hurdle form.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +61%) Miami Magic	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(5) Miami Magic 7/2, Made mistakes and was outpaced, not travelling, when needing the run on chase debut after a wind operation, finishing 32l third in a 2m beginners' chase at Uttoxeter last time; this is his second run after the operation and he must leave that form behind. Runner-up in Graded novice hurdles last season but when well beaten on chase debut.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -14%) Hansard	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Hansard 8/1, Going well when all but brought down before being eased and well beaten in a 2m handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; could figure. Chase debut; 0-6 over hurdles last term but still showed considerable spark; not ruled out.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (33/1 -175%) Aurigny Mill	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Aurigny Mill 33/1, Outpaced and needed the run when fourth, beaten 50l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Sandown last time; usually held up and has a bit to find. Progressive over hurdles last season but tailed off on recent reappearance; chase debut.

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

Nicky Henderson won this race with the classy Iberico Lord last year and has a major chance of notching back-to-back wins with JERIKO DU REPONET. Events conspired against the six-year-old on his chasing debut at Sandown last November but his hurdles form sets a high standard and he's worth another try over fences. The rest are closely matched on official ratings but perhaps Jax Junior and Aurigny Mill are the dangers.

Jeriko Du Reponet has the best hurdle form but also questions to answer and preference is for JAX JUNIOR on his second chase start.

Effective between 2m and 2 1/4m and needs to rediscover his better efforts. Reverts to hurdles on a workable mark and shouldn't be far away..
2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 -350%) Bluenose Belle	18 18/1(-350%)	(6) Bluenose Belle 18/1, Improved to land a 2l handicap win off 81 over 2m1f at Market Rasen, though fortunate after hampering the runner-up on the home bend. Up 2lb; effective at 2m on good ground and appears progressive. Dual handicap winner in the spring and looks open to further progress; respected..
3	11 3rd (11) (4/1 +60%) Churchman	4 4/1(+60%)	(11) Churchman 4/1, Made too much use of and failed to stay when well beaten in a 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Returning from a long layoff and could be in the mix if ridden with more restraint. Largely out of sorts last season and needs to find some spark after a break..
4	12 4th (12) (100/1 +0%) Ramaah	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Ramaah 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time. Blinkers applied for the first time. Effective at 2m on good to soft ground but yet to show much over hurdles. Pulled up on April's handicap debut and fared no better on last month's return; blinkers..
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -65%) Battle Of Omdurman	14 14/1(-65%)	(4) Battle Of Omdurman 14/1, Outpaced and unable to go the gallop when comfortably held in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Stratford last time. Returning from a break; effective at 2m on sound ground and should improve if ridden more positively. Juvenile hurdle winner last season who has run respectably against his elders; eased 3lb..
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -20%) East End Girl	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) East End Girl 9/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Off a long absence but generally consistent over hurdles. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Lightly campaigned in recent times and although capable, has another absence to overcome..
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 -14%) Dexter	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Dexter 8/1, Scored by a length off 92 over 2m1f at Cartmel in August. Returned to form back over hurdles when second, beaten 8 1/2l off 99 last time. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground, and appears in form off a fair mark. Made a respectable return to hurdles last time and likely to be in the mix again..
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 +24%) Now Then Wendy	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Now Then Wendy 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m on good ground. On a fair mark based on maiden form and could bounce back. Shaped well on handicap debut in March but more likely needed despite a 3lb lower mark..
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 -13%) L'air Du Large	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) L'air Du Large 18/1, Outpaced and needed the run when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Has plenty to prove at this level. Makes handicap debut in a modest race but only of interest if strong in the market..
10th	10 10th (10) (9/4 +25%) Blue Tempus	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(10) Blue Tempus 9/4, Ran to form on handicap debut when fourth, beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and may stay a little further in this sphere. Consistent, if winless, in four runs over hurdles and enters calculations eased 3lb..

Effective at 2m on good ground, but recent form has been going the wrong way. Pulled up on last month's return from a long absence and probably best watched at present..

Bluenose Belle has to be respected on her return after her victory at Market Rasen when last seen in May. However, her lack of a recent run may give the edge to BLUE TEMPUS. Alan King's gelding was fourth on his handicap debut at Kempton last month and should benefit from this drop in grade. Others to note are Dexter and No More Bolero.

Juvenile hurdler BLUE TEMPUS shaped promisingly in a stronger Kempton handicap last time and he's taken to open his account eased 3lb.

FORMEL PARK has only had the two starts over fences and she didn't let her Ludlow fall knock her confidence as she won over C&D last time. With that first win under her belt, she's taken to kick on and keep progressing. The booking of Brian Hughes is another tick in her box and she can get the better of Huit Reflets and Blended Stealth.

Back in trip for his chasing debut after racing too freely last time, DIXIE COWBOY might be worth chancing.

SPRINGS A GIRL's jumping cost her when she pulled up over fences last time, but a return to hurdling could spark a revival and she is well handicapped on the pick of her form. Court In A Storm remains unexposed and should not be discounted despite falling on his handicap debut last month. Others to note are Jimmy Hurdstrom and Getalead.

The step up in trip is an interesting move for KITTY FOYLE, who stays well on the Flat, and she earns the vote.

MONMIRAL has yet to show his best in five starts over fences, but he was second in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham back at the beginning of 2023. A subsequent winner of the Pertemps Final in 2024, Paul Nicholls' gelding can be given another chance back over the larger obstacles. Wyenot was a Listed winner over hurdles and makes plenty of appeal at these weights, while Double Powerful edges out Kamsinas to be next best.

A tight contest but preference is for the race-fit DOUBLE POWERFUL who remains with considerable potential over fences.

Harper Valley has won off a higher mark in the past and showed signs of a resurgence when third at Uttoxeter. Monaco Rules remains unexposed off his current mark and could shape well in this lower grade, but AVALON BEACH also has plenty of scope. Chris Grant's inmate opened his account over timber with a markedly improved effort over 2m1f here and should go close returning to this longer trip for his handicap debut.

French hurdle winner MONACO RULES has rather mixed record in Britain, but he posted a good effort at Kelso recently and gets the nod.

LARGY TRAIN won easily over C&D last year and returned to this venue with another fine effort on his latest start. Beaten less than a length into second on that occasion, a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from turning the tables with the winner El Muchacho. The latter will likely give another good account, while the consistent Couldbeaweapon is usually in the mix at this level.

A close second over C&D this month, LARGY TRAIN (nap) can go one better on today's slower ground.

VIROFLAY finished second of only three runners over 2m3f at Ascot on his reappearance and handicap debut. That outing will have blown any cobwebs away and a repeat of his second over this longer distance at Punchestown in May could see Paul Nicholls' charge return to winning ways. First Confession made a promising chasing debut when third at Carlisle recently and could be thereabouts, while Doctor Ken goes well fresh.

Joe Tizzard continues in excellent form and FIRST CONFESSION (nap) shaped on his chase debut as though he could relish the return to 3m.

A wind operation and the switch to fences seems to have brought the best out of PURE CARBON. Harry Derham's charge was making only his second outing over the larger obstacles when returning the ready winner at Huntingdon recently and he remains of interest off a 6lb higher mark. Lightning Flash beat the selection at Chepstow last month and is not easily dismissed back over 2m, while Hypotenus drops in class with a shout on his return to the fray.

Lightning Flash is respected now going right handed but PURE CARBON took a sizeable step forward in winning last time.

BREAK POINT had been in good nick over hurdles prior to his Wolverhampton second last month in this sphere. Olly Murphy's charge is taken to continue that good form here and get the better of Wadacre Giorgio, who put in a much-improved display last time out when third at Southwell. You can also make a decent case for course scorer Violeta.

Last month's Wolverhampton runner-up BREAK POINT has a sound chance of going one better in this modest contest.

WILLIAM YEATS is taken to make the most of his experience and come out best. He made a promising Rules debut when second over C&D last month and that run should have brought him on a good deal. Donald McCain sent out last year's winner and Laristote should be noted for any market support, while Drakaris is a newcomer to keep an eye on representing Dan Skelton's powerful yard.

Drakaris looks interesting but LARISTOTE is taken to deliver on the promise he showed before falling on his Irish point debut.

Across Earth won nicely at Hereford on his seasonal bow and cannot be ruled out, despite an 8lb rise. Surrey Lord opened his account over timber with a victory on soft going at Ffos Las last month, but AT THE OCHE makes more appeal on this sounder surface. The latter just failed to catch the winner at Ascot on his handicap debut and the four-year-old will likely have plenty more to offer off his current mark.

The call is AT THE OCHE who made a positive start in handicaps at Ascot and he could be ridden more forward over this sharper test.

PRINCESS KERI has relished the return to hurdling and built on last month's second at Chepstow with a convincing success at Lingfield two weeks ago. Harry Cobden keeps the winning partnership intact and she looks worth sticking with back over this longer distance. Isabel De Clare finished second here a month ago and could have a say in proceedings once again, while the Huntingdon runner-up Sumatran Tiger may well improve now handicapping.

Princess Keri is feared but the suggestion is BRIEF STATEMENT who may build on last month's promising handicap debut.

MADEMOISELLE BELLE looks the way to go in this nursery as she produced arguably her best effort so far when third at Beverley last time in novice company. Perhaps she's getting the hang of things now and she makes more appeal than Brave Traveller, who boasts some decent form and could be well treated on his handicap debut. Noelies Dream is best of the rest.

The two nursery newcomers Data Fata Secutus and BRAVE TRAVELLER are both capable of better and the latter is marginally preferred.

Sole win was 16 months ago and he hasn't really threatened in nine runs this year.

5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 +31%) Galactic Glow	11 11/1(+31%)	(1) Galactic Glow 11/1, Disappointing hurdles return when finishing down the field in a 2m handicap hurdle at Hereford last time; effective over 2m on fast ground; consistent in both codes and looks well treated on flat form. Tailed off over hurdles latest but he's a multiple Flat winner who could bounce back.

Veteran who has won eight times on AW but he was tailed off at Southwell last month.

On much-reduced mark but he's 0-13 in handicaps; down the field on last two starts.

STROBELIGHT performed better than his finishing position suggests here last time and, prior to that, he finished a good second at Lingfield. With scope for more improvement, the three-year-old seems like the safest play in what is a tricky handicap to solve. Scenario arrives in good nick and should be thereabouts, likewise Al Shabab, who won at Lingfield two starts ago.

Top of the list is STROBELIGHT (nap), who has finished placed in two of his four handicaps and still has potential.

HALLO SPACEBOY confirmed the promise of his debut third at York when filling second place over 6f at Newmarket late last month. That form suggests that Ed Walker's colt could be hard to beat here, although North West Gal has a similar profile and was only beaten a nose at Catterick a month ago. The rest do not inspire much confidence, but any market support for Flowerpot would have to be noted.

North West Gal can win a similar race but this looks an ease in grade for HALLO SPACEBOY and he can take full advantage.

Effective at 1m and acts on the all-weather. Consistent in maidens but his opening mark demands more. Doesn't look obviously well treated for this handicap debut; market support needed.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/4 +55%) Toastmaster	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(1) Toastmaster 5/4, Outpaced and below form when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden over 7f at Southwell last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 7f and acts on the all-weather. Pedigree suggests speed, so the longer trip may not suit. Backward step last time but initial efforts suggest this mark could be workable.

Mariotto comes in here on the back of a breakthrough Beverley success and must be respected on her nursery bow. However, TOASTMASTER makes more appeal as he's got the proven all-weather form and wasn't beaten far at this track on debut in August. Captain Cairney has experience on his side and will be hoping to put that to good use.

The filly TABASKO earned this initial mark at top tracks and she's marginally preferred ahead of Toastmaster.

MR NIPPY was well held when second over C&D at the beginning of the month but that was still a promising effort. Off a 1lb lower mark, Charlie Johnston's colt just gets the vote ahead of Lope Harswell, who was only beaten a couple of lengths when fourth here last time. Others to note are Ciao Capo and Lope Y Linda.

Lope Harswell can benefit from the extra furlong but MR NIPPY can go one better than when second over C&D 23 days ago.

Paranjape improved from his first to second run and should go well if building on that latest Chelmsford third. However, he might find at least one too good because COOL DOC BOY is taken to do the business. He made a debut full of promise when second at Kempton five days ago and the quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race well. Shotgun is also noted.

Preference is for COOL DOC BOY, who was heavily backed when a clear second on his Kempton debut last week.

MONTEZIN has had a couple of attempts here and at Wolverhampton, finishing second on both occasions, and he knows enough about the game now to strike. Shamacid and Hostility are no strangers to finishing second either, but they are more exposed than the selection so Antony Brittain's charge might have that bit more scope for improvement. Keep an eye on Raveena too.

Hostility should go close again but he is vulnerable to improvers and MONTEZIN may fit that bill.

Having regained the winning thread at Southwell last time out, DANCE TIME could be ready to celebrate once more. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for the five-year-old and she edges the vote over Cardinal Point. Michael Bell's filly supplemented a triumph at Chelmsford with a respectable third at Lingfield earlier this month and another good account is forecast. Safe And Sound is the pick of the remainder.

Admirably consistent and with the return of a visor no bad thing, CARDINAL POINT could be the answer.

Look no further than SECOND FIDDLE. This admirable mare comes here chasing a six-timer and has really thrived over the track and trip in recent months. She might not be done progressing just yet on the evidence of her latest three-length success and it could be more of the same here. The dangers are Electric Avenue and Angel Of Rain.

Coeur Jaune is high on the list but stepping up to 1m can see ANGEL OF RAIN (nap) take a step forward.

Flowstate attempts to end a frustrating run of seconds, but he could suffer the same fate once again with WAY TO DUBAI marginally preferred. The latter just failed to catch the winner at Lingfield four days ago, and Mick Appleby's charge may finally take advantage of a slide down the weights racing off an unchanged mark. Rye has been thereabouts here of late and is not totally discounted.

There's a good chance this will be strongly run and therefore WAY TO DUBAI might not be overly inconvenienced by dropping back to 6f.

An easy winner here last time, Al Muqdad has a 10lb hike to contend with in this tougher contest and CALYXOH makes more appeal. The latter finished a close fourth at Kempton on last month's all-weather debut, having won at Newbury during the summer, and that points to a big run here with Jane Chapple-Hyam's yard in fine form. Bell Shot drops in class and could prove competitive on his return from a layoff.

This can go to AL MUQDAD, who was an emphatic winner over C&D 16 days ago and remains feasibly treated on his best form.

YAFAARR is holding his form well and finished a creditable second over 7f here last time. A winner over C&D prior to that, Sam England's charge looks worthy of another chance. Studious is well treated on his winning form on the all-weather and could bounce back, while Emery Down has a bit to prove over this distance but a good effort over 7f here recently offered something to work on.

The return to AW could see JAMAICAN STORM bounce back to form and he's well handicapped if that proves the case. Yafaarr is feared.

6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 -83%) Saxon Kingdom	5.5 11/2(-83%)	(9) Saxon Kingdom 11/2, Didn't handle the surface when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Laytown last time; returns from a short break; effective over 7f to 8f on the all-weather; inconsistent but yard does well with new recruits. Just 1-31 but on a competitive mark and needs a close look on first run for James Owen.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 +21%) Mullwarchar	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Mullwarchar 11/1, Too free when stepped up in trip and didn't get home when comfortably held in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective over 7f to 8f on the all-weather; needs to settle better after a break. Unexposed 3yo; has been gelded but he needs a transformation back on AW on his return.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -50%) Token Gesture	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Token Gesture 18/1, Raced wide and again shaped as though 8f may suit when beaten 3l off 67 over 7f at Kempton last time; back from a short break; effective at 7f on the all-weather and could improve up in trip. Won at Kempton (7f, AW) last September but he's not gone on from that; needs to find more.
9th	3 9th (3) (9/2 +18%) Beaming Light	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(3) Beaming Light 9/2, Too free and found little when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 8f at Southwell last time; ridden by a top course jockey; effective at 8f on all-weather; has thrived this summer but mark may now be high enough. Completed hat-trick in June but he's been up and down since and comes with risks attached.

ERNIE'S VALENTINE arrives in fine fettle, having gone close in both outings since scoring over a mile at Chelmsford in September. The son of Havana Gold found only one too good over this C&D last time and this looks a slightly easier assignment. Toralou is not dismissed off her current mark if forgiven a below par latest effort, while Liv My Life could figure from a tempting rating if rediscovering her best.

This can go to ERNIE'S VALENTINE, who has been in good form on AW this autumn including a strong-finishing second over C&D last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/2 +30%) Dark Rosa	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Dark Rosa 7/2, Did too much too soon when upped in trip and was beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 8f at Kempton last time. Effective at 6f to 7f and acts on all-weather; has the ability but the longer trip remains a concern. Her first run for this yard was better than the second; others more convincing.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +45%) Serious Look	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(2) Serious Look 11/4, Won by 1 1/4l off a mark of 64 here on his penultimate start and ran to form when seventh, beaten 3l, off 68 last time. Effective at 10f and acts on all-weather; shows a good attitude and remains fairly treated on old form. High in the weights now and this sharp a test is probably not ideal.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -43%) Pitney	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Pitney 20/1, Did not find much when beaten 7l in a handicap over 8f at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; dropping in the weights but still has something to prove. Won twice for Hugo Palmer but very quiet this year and has many questions to answer.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -33%) Rhythm N Rock	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Rhythm N Rock 8/1, Below form when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Kempton last time. Usually held up; effective at 1m and acts on all-weather, but appears regressive. Stuck on a long losing run and his form has been cold for a while now.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +20%) Troy Story	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Troy Story 4/1, Never threatened when beaten 4l in a handicap over 7f at Kempton last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on all-weather; possibly a little flattered by his nursery form. 0-9 but has competitive form; if back to best he'd have a chance in this bad a race.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -1400%) Cloch Nua	50 50/1(-1400%)	(8) Cloch Nua 50/1, Slowly away and left with too much to do when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster last time. Had been in good form previously; effective from 7f to 8f and acts on all-weather; generally consistent performer. Has shown he can cope with this mark but has been out for a good while.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 +20%) Reddeef	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Reddeef 4/1, Still below his best in first-time blinkers when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap over 8f at Nottingham latest. Trainer in form; effective at 6f to 7f and acts on all-weather; drops again in the weights but more is needed. Consistent but yet to win and has yet to prove that he fully stays an extended 1m.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 +14%) Bavaria Iron	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Bavaria Iron 12/1, Stopped quickly and was well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Musselburgh last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on all-weather; drops in trip with first-time tongue-tie but has plenty to prove for his new yard. Tailed off in two runs for current yard and soft ground wasn't an excuse.

DARK ROSA has shown promise in her last two starts at Kempton and those efforts suggest that she can play a leading role in a moderate event such as this. Cloch Nua has a good record on the all-weather and he has to be noted, although a 213-day break is a concern. Others to note are Reddeef, Serious Look and Troy Story.

He might not be that well handicapped and ideally wants further, but SERIOUS LOOK still appeals as the safest option.

1	4 1st (4) (28/1 -75%) Basholo	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Basholo 28/1, Scored by 3/4l off 57 here on her penultimate start; far too free when 13th beaten 6 1/4l off 62 last time; effective at 5f on AW; erratic and needs to settle better. Hard to predict but he won here on penultimate run; dangerous if he can bounce back again.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +0%) Gustav Graves	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Gustav Graves 4/1, A bit free but built on his recent return to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 51 here last time; trainer in form; wide draw; suited by 5f on AW; remains well treated on old form. Finished well to beat Sam's Xpress over C&D latest; big player again off 6lb higher.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 +81%) Candy Warhol	7.5 15/2(+81%)	(5) Candy Warhol 15/2, Far too free and beaten 5l in a 6f handicap here last time; returning from a short break; effective at 5-6f on AW; has struggled since his summer win and has never scored off a mark this high. Triple course winner but he needs to get back on track after wind surgery.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +67%) Invincible Crown	3 3/1(+67%)	(2) Invincible Crown 3/1, Scored by a short head off 63 here on his penultimate start; never threatened when tenth beaten 5l off 64 last time; effective at 5f and acts on AW; should be competitive. Didn't shine at Newcastle latest but he's had two wins over C&D this autumn; dangerous.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 -14%) Sam's Xpress	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Sam's Xpress 4/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off 55 here on his penultimate start; kicked on too soon and was caught late when second beaten 1 1/4l off 60 last time; enjoys making the running; effective 5-6f on AW; well treated on Irish form and improving for his new yard. 2-5 for current yard and was runner-up behind Gustav Graves over C&D latest; respected.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -60%) She Went Whoosh	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) She Went Whoosh 80/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time; effective at 5f and best on AW; out of form since her spring win. Record of 1-20 and she struggled on recent stable debut over C&D; others preferred.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 -20%) So Smart	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) So Smart 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 60 here last time; enjoys making the running; suited by 5f and acts on AW; in fair form and consistent at this level. All five wins have been on turf but was a good second over C&D 16 days ago; possibilities.

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

Gustav Graves beat Sam's Xpress (second) in a similar C&D event three weeks ago, but 6lb and 3lb rises respectively mean that they could both be vulnerable here. With that in mind, preference is for SO SMART, who was second over track and trip last time and merits respect off the same mark. Alshimali could be the main danger after his recent Lingfield third.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to course specialist GUSTAV GRAVES, who cashed in on a reduced mark here three weeks 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.
