1	2 1st (2) (13/8 -30%) Iberico Lord		1.625 13/8(-30%)																															(2) Iberico Lord 13/8, Made up into a smart hurdler last term, winning a couple of big handicaps, including the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Best to overlook his effort in the Champion Hurdle on final run of that campaign (yard was under a cloud at that time) and he's an exciting prospect now switched to fences. One of the best 2m handicap hurdlers last season; brings the highest rating to chase debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/1 +21%) Leave Of Absence		11 11/1(+21%)																															(3) Leave Of Absence 11/1, Useful bumper form in 2022, winning here and at Newbury before excellent third in Aintree Grade 2. Got the better of some decent types when scoring on sole hurdles start at Ascot in October of that year and, though absent since, his profile is an attractive going into this yard/chase debut. Progressive for Chris Gordon but has been absent for over two years; market instructive.
1	1 |PU| (1) (10/11 +39%) Gidleigh Park		0.909091 10/11(+39%)																															(1) Gidleigh Park 10/11, Winner of 3 of of his 4 starts over hurdles last season, including a Cheltenham Grade 2. Sole defeat came when sixth of 13 in the Albert Bartlett at the Festival there in March and this 6-y-o, who is closely related to Denman, is a very interesting recruit to the chasing ranks. Possible non-stayer in the Albert Bartlett; unbeaten previously; remains of major interest.
4	4 |PU| (4) (11/1 -57%) The Four Sixes		11 11/1(-57%)																															(4) The Four Sixes 11/1, Found improvement on debut for Olly Murphy when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby last December. Placed all 3 subsequent completed starts, runner-up in a Class 2 handicap at Ayr when last seen during the spring, and he appeals as the type to make up into a better chaser. Fairly useful handicap hurdler; proving consistent but needs improvement to win this race.

GIDLEIGH PARK lost his unbeaten record when a well-held sixth in the Albert Barlett at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but the six-year-old remains an exciting prospect now making his chase bow. Harry Fry's charge takes a sizeable drop in trip, but his class can see him through. Iberico Lord failed to fire in the Champion Hurdle when last seen but won the Greatwood and Betfair before that and must be taken seriously. Leave Of Absence can beat The Four Sixes home for third.

A small but select field of chase debutants on show, with GIDLEIGH PARK and Iberico Lord particularly interesting given their hurdles exploits. This scenario may not be ideal for the latter, who appears to be suited by the hustle and bustle of big fields and, moreover, arriving late on the scene in a strongly-run race. Indeed, Gidleigh Park could be better-equipped for this particular assignment and he shades preference. The Four Sixes is third choice ahead of Leave of Absence.

Good chasing prospect GIDLEIGH PARK remains of major interest and could well improve past Iberico Lord in an engrossing clash.

1	10 1st (10) (9/2 +72%) Olivia Kate		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(10) Olivia Kate 9/2, Just bits and pieces of form so far, failing to see it out upped to 23.6f latest. Beaten 17l+ in four handicaps from 2m to 2m7f; down only 2lb for last time.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -29%) Come On Nia		9 9/1(-29%)																															(3) Come On Nia 9/1, Telescope mare who displayed improved form away from the mud when winning a brace of handicap in May/June. Off the track 4 months so may have needed the tun at Chepstow and much better expected here. Two summer wins but finished well behind after a break at Chepstow.
3	1 3rd (1) (18/1 +45%) Broomfield Gale		18 18/1(+45%)																															(1) Broomfield Gale 18/1, Modest hurdler at best in Ireland for Robert Murphy. Tongue strap back on for handicap/stable debut and mark looks stiff-enough on the face of it. 0-11 under rules when trained in Ireland; first run in a handicap for new yard.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +38%) An Cailin Ciuin		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) An Cailin Ciuin 10/1, Allotted a stiff mark and made little impression on handicap debut at Chepstow a month ago. This is easier, at least. Failed to fire on handicap debut last time and went off a big price at 33-1.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/8 +32%) Malago Rose		1.875 15/8(+32%)																															(5) Malago Rose 15/8, Produced a career best in first-time cheekpieces to open account in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, soft) in June. Not quite at that level 11 weeks later but she's since made the switch to an in-form stable. 3m winner two runs back and then lost a shoe next time; having first run for a new yard.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 -64%) Bob O Rhino		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(6) Bob O Rhino 9/2, Winning Irish pointer who made her second handicap start over hurdles a winning one in 11-runner contest at Stratford (18.7f, good) in July, typically ridden positively. Sound efforts twice since and she's likely to give it another good go. More exposed than some of these but she's running well and has solid claims.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +20%) My Girl Katie		8 8/1(+20%)																															(8) My Girl Katie 8/1, Long-standing maiden who ran one of her better races when fifth of 13 over C&D last month. Unable to land a blow at Chepstow since. Beaten under 7l over C&D in October but followed that with a poor run and she's now 0-21.
7	7 |PU| (7) (18/1 -29%) Lizzie Rey		18 18/1(-29%)																															(7) Lizzie Rey 18/1, Well held in bumper/3 races over hurdles, jumping poorly. Handicap debut. Positives thin on the ground but still early days and she goes handicapping off a low mark.
9	9 |PU| (9) (33/1 -175%) Formel Park		33 33/1(-175%)																															(9) Formel Park 33/1, Related to 4 winners and better effort in bumpers when third at Southwell in May. Unseated rider early on hurdles debut and well held completed outings since. Hard to be confident on her handicap debut, but it makes sense to check the betting.
4	4 |PU| (4) (33/1 -136%) Made For Me		33 33/1(-136%)																															(4) Made For Me 33/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points (March 2023) but only minor promise under Rules so far. Hopes rest on switch to handicaps and step up in trip. Has placed form in a maiden but tailed off in the latest; not obviously well in.

BOB O RHINO wasn't disgraced in fourth in a stronger event than this at Hereford last time and occupied the runner-up spot at this level at Worcester prior to that. The five-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and could regain the winning thread. Olivia Kate produced a better effort to finish fifth at Chepstow earlier in the month and the handicapper might have been kind to drop her 2lb, so she is respected. Malago Rose completes the shortlist.

COME ON NIA almost certainly needed her return to action and, with that under her belt, she's selected to regain the winning thread. Malago Rose has made the switch to a successful stable so she demands respect, with Bob O Rhino likely to be bang there again.

It looks as though BOB O RHINO is handicapped about right but she's running well and just about has the least to prove in this field.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -50%) Craven Bay		3 3/1(-50%)																															(1) Craven Bay 3/1, Very much on the up for his new yard, landing 3m2f handicap hurdles at Warwick and Hereford in the autumn and improved again when nose second at Fontwell 17 days ago. Nicely clear of the rest in the process and 4 lb rise still leaves him very competitive. Better than ever in staying handicap hurdles for new yard; may improve further.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 +13%) Warranty		7 7/1(+13%)																															(4) Warranty 7/1, Won handicaps at Plumpton (20.5f) and Warwick (19f) in the autumn of 2022 for Gary Moore. Well held both hurdles starts for this yard but much more like it with a brace of Flat wins at Salisbury in May. Given a chance by the handicapper back over obstacles up in trip. Much better form on Flat than over hurdles for current yard; bit to prove.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -17%) Godot		14 14/1(-17%)																															(6) Godot 14/1, Course winner who was also successful over fences at Plumpton in January. Ended last term in disappointing fashion and needed to see more back over timber at Plumpton 3 weeks ago, albeit he probably needed that. Up in trip. Attractively weighted; has possibilities provided he's as effective back at 3m.
4	3 4th (3) (6/4 +45%) Shantou Express		1.5 6/4(+45%)																															(3) Shantou Express 6/4, Bagged a small-field Stratford handicap (26.4f, good) in June 2023. Went into his shell after but took a big step back in the right direction from his reduced mark when second of 9 at Warwick 3 weeks ago, clear of the rest. Big player on the back of that. Solid second at Warwick last time and remains well treated on historical data.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -32%) San Pedro		33 33/1(-32%)																															(7) San Pedro 33/1, Fit from what was a heavy defeat on the Flat and didn't show much more behind a couple of these at Fontwell latest. Easy wins at Plumpton in Feb/March; not in anything like the same form since.
6th	5 6th (5) (3/1 +50%) Heaven Smart		3 3/1(+50%)																															(5) Heaven Smart 3/1, A fairly useful 3m chase winner who recorded a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good) in May. Sound return over hurdles at Fontwell 17 days ago but has work to do with Craven Bay. Interesting returned to Kempton, having gained sole win in 3m chase here in Feb.

More positive tactics saw an improved performance from SHANTOU EXPRESS when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Warwick earlier this month. A 4lb rise in the ratings might not prevent another bold bid on that evidence and compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat is fellow in-form rival Craven Bay, who lost little in defeat when thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Fontwell 17 days ago. Heaven Smart looks the pick of the remainder.

CRAVEN BAY came within a nose of completing the hat-trick at Fontwell 17 days ago with the pair clear and, very much going the right way, he can regain the winning thread up 4 lb. Shantou Express is very well weighted these days and offered much more at Warwick last time so he's feared, along with Warranty back in this code.

The combination of a drop back to 3m and return to Kempton may enable HEAVEN SMART to reverse Fontwell placings with Craven Bay.

1	4 1st (4) (1/1 +43%) El Vigaro		1 1/1(+43%)																															(4) El Vigaro 1/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who has improved in recent weeks, finishing second then first in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter (both good to soft). A 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him for last year's winning yard. One of the few who are running well, having been second then first in Uttoxeter handicaps.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 +0%) Badlands Boy		16 16/1(+0%)																															(5) Badlands Boy 16/1, Modest form at best over hurdles, failing to build on reappearance when down the field here 32 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Offered little in three handicaps (2m-2m5f) and on go the cheekpieces.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +54%) Quian		3 3/1(+54%)																															(3) Quian 3/1, Won a Taunton handicap hurdle for Thomas Gallagher last December but has been underwhelming since, including well beaten on both starts for Fergal O'Brien. Could click for this yard at some point but can only be watched for now. Hasn't progressed and he's been completely tailed off in two runs for current yard.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -21%) Admiral Fitz		40 40/1(-21%)																															(7) Admiral Fitz 40/1, Runner-up completed start in points but has shown little in 4 hurdles starts, including Stratford handicap debut and reappearance 37 days ago. Struggles continued when 25-1 for his handicap debut, albeit on heavy ground.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -256%) Belle Montrose		16 16/1(-256%)																															(2) Belle Montrose 16/1, Runner-up on her sole Irish point. Steadily progressive form in bumpers and reached the frame in maiden/novice events at Newton Abbot and Stratford switched to hurdles in the summer. Makes handicap debut back from 134 days off. Unexposed. Handicap newcomer; was placed in a 3m point and may need longer trips.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -65%) Pooroldmackley		33 33/1(-65%)																															(6) Pooroldmackley 33/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and only poor form over hurdles, making no impact on Ffos Las handicap debut 15 days ago. Still early days but hard to make a case for. Offered little in three maiden hurdles and the same again when 33-1 for handicap debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/2 -17%) Iontach Cheval		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(1) Iontach Cheval 7/2, Went in snatches again when fourth of 9 on 2m Warwick reappearance (2m, good) 3 weeks ago. On a good mark but he'll probably need to travel with more fluency if he's to take advantage. Likeable run at Warwick 20 days ago on his return from a break; every chance.

EL VIGARO built on his promising second at Uttoxeter at the start of November when scoring with something in hand at the same venue 15 days later. A 5lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of the five-year-old's ability and a quickfire double could be on the cards. Iontach Cheval is entitled to build on his fourth-placed reappearance at Warwick earlier this month and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of handicap debutant Belle Montrose.

Matt Sheppard can win this race for the second year running courtesy of recent Uttoxeter scorer EL VIGARO. Unexposed handicap newcomer Belle Montrose might be the one to give the selection most to think about.

El Vigaro needs respecting but IONTACH CHEVAL (nap) is well handicapped and his Warwick run after a break was encouraging.

1	1 1st (1) (1/2 -38%) Kateira		0.5 1/2(-38%)																															(1) Kateira 1/2, Enhanced good record at Aintree when signing off for last season with success in valuable 20f handicap hurdle. Rather fluffed her lines at Wetherby on reappearance 3 weeks ago, travelling powerfully but held back by a bad blunder. Should maek amends on these terms. Very useful; beaten favourite in this race last year but strongly respected on best form.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -29%) Della Casa Lunga		9 9/1(-29%)																															(3) Della Casa Lunga 9/1, Back-to-back handicap winner at Ludlow in February before being found out in a warmer race at Punchestown in May. Almost certainly needed the run at Bangor on reappearance 12 days ago and expected to run closer to form this time. Two emphatic Ludlow wins in February; one of the main players, granted a return to best.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +43%) Pawapuri		4 4/1(+43%)																															(2) Pawapuri 4/1, Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas who landed a maiden and a novice at up to 18.9f around this time last year. Sound second back on the level at Salisbury in May but no easy task on these terms. Record of 2-3 last term featured a Listed novice win; may have more to offer this season.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +60%) The Height Of Fame		16 16/1(+60%)																															(5) The Height Of Fame 16/1, Struck on 21.5f Newton Abbot reappearance in July. Went close at Worcester the following month and cast aside a couple of lesser runs when fourth at Wincanton. Behind Porter In The Park that day and she's up against it. Generally consistent but has the worst chance at the weights.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 +67%) Porter In The Park		11 11/1(+67%)																															(4) Porter In The Park 11/1, Pair of handicap wins over 3m+ earlier in the year and fitter for her return at Huntingdon when finding only an improver too good at Wincanton (21.4f) a fortnight ago. Big career-best effort needed in this company. Largely consistent but faces a stiff assignment upped in class.

The progressive KATEIRA would have likely finished closer but for a crucial mistake at the second-last hurdle in the Grade 2 bet365 Hurdle at Wetherby 23 days ago. That was the Dan Skelton-trained mare's seasonal debut and any sort of improvement is sure to make her tough to beat dropping into Listed company. The ratings suggest that triple hurdle winner Della Casa Lunga may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Pawapuri.

A bad blunder when she was closing cost KATEIRA on her Wetherby reappearance but she's a different class to these so compensation awaits. Della Casa Lunga will surely come on a lot for her recent reappearance and is offered for forecast purposes.

Last year's runner-up KATEIRA is well up to going one better, provided she's in top form. Pawapuri is feared most.

1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +43%) Keep Running		2 2/1(+43%)																															(4) Keep Running 2/1, Better than ever sent chasing last season, making all in novice handicap at Taunton in January. Has found life tougher since but reappearance effort for new yard at Carlisle was too bad to be true and he'll be a threat if able to get back on track. Pulled up on Carlisle reappearance and needs to bounce back near best; tongue-tie back on.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +80%) Holly		2.75 11/4(+80%)																															(2) Holly 11/4, A fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles but hasn't covered herself in glory in 2 starts over fences to date. Sizeable step forward required here. Unexposed over fences and mark is falling but she needs a transformation back at 2m.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -33%) Fast Buck		16 16/1(-33%)																															(5) Fast Buck 16/1, Now 7 lb lower than when registering latest success in a handicap chase at Wincanton in January. That said, it's been downhill pretty much all the way since and he needs to bounce back in a major way. Well held in both runs this season but is well handicapped if he can rediscover his spark.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -13%) Feel The Pinch		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(3) Feel The Pinch 17/2, Prolific for this stable, producing an effort right up there with his best when adding to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.7f, good) in July. Form has dipped badly since, though, it's probably best to look elsewhere. Out of sorts over hurdles and fences in last three runs and he needs to get back on track.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +33%) Mr Grey Sky		2 2/1(+33%)																															(1) Mr Grey Sky 2/1, Won a pair of 2m handicap chases at a similar time last year. Respectable third at Newcastle when last seen in February and bold show could be on the way, provided he is ready to roll following 9 months off. Back on last winning mark and he won on reappearance last season; interesting.

Having sustained a wound on his right-hind, Keep Running shouldn't be judged too harshly on his pulled-up reappearance at Carlisle last month. Warren Greatrex's charge is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark and an improved bid is forecast. However, it could be worth taking a punt on the returning MR GREY SKY given his yard are in much better form than his third-placed effort at Newcastle in February. Feel The Pinch may fare best of the remainder.

MR GREY SKY returned with a bang last season, winning the first two starts of his 2023/24 campaign, and he is taken to repeat the dose this time round by making a successful reappearance. Next on the list is Dr T J Eckleburg, whose record over hurdles/fences here reads 112 and he added to his tally at Haydock on Saturday. However, if his connections elect against this quick turnaround, Keep Running will likely emerge as the main danger.

Preference is for MR GREY SKY, who is back on his last winning mark and was successful on his seasonal return last November.

1	7 1st (7) (11/4 +58%) Es Perfecto		2.75 11/4(+58%)																															(7) Es Perfecto 11/4, Point/hurdles winner who was placed on his first 3 starts over fences last season, shaping particularly well when third in Timeform novices' handicap (strong form) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) in January. Misfired at Sandown on latest start in March but will have every chance if on-song here. Normally reliable and has some strong form, including a solid effort here on Boxing Day.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -60%) Doctor Ken		8 8/1(-60%)																															(3) Doctor Ken 8/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who made it 2-3 over fences when landing a 7-runner handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) on latest start in March 2023. Subsequent absence an obvious concern but he remains with potential as a chaser and resumes with his burgeoning yard in good form. Record of 121 over fences, most recently winning at Taunton in March 2023.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/4 +21%) Bourbali		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(5) Bourbali 11/4, Both wins over fences have come here, including when making all over 2¼m (good to soft) on his seasonal reappearance last month. 4 lb rise tolerable and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue, this 7-y-o has to be high on the shortlist. Made all in similar event here last month; scored on this card last year; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -33%) The Edgar Wallace		12 12/1(-33%)																															(1) The Edgar Wallace 12/1, Winner of first 2 starts of 2023/24 campaign before going down narrowly in handicaps at Wetherby and Newcastle. Well held in the Topham at Aintree when last seen in April and will need to be better than ever if he's to make a winning return with first-time cheekpieces enlisted here. Well held in the Topham; very consistent in Class 3 otherwise last term; solid.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 -20%) Doddiethegreat		3 3/1(-20%)																															(4) Doddiethegreat 3/1, Followed last season's Ascot reappearance success with a couple of solid efforts in strong handicap hurdles, latterly fourth of 21 in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February. Failed to fire final 2 starts of that campaign but he's lightly-raced and is one to be interested in on this chase debut. Ran well in Betfair Hurdle; big player at this level, provided he takes to fences.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +0%) Thelasthighking		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Thelasthighking 14/1, Successful over fences at Wincanton and Southwell during 2022/23 campaign and returned with a pair of good runner-up efforts here last autumn. Form dipped thereafter, though, and he was put on his place when returning to action at Newbury recently. Good chance if back in top form; second off 8lb higher in this race last year.
2	2 |PU| (2) (10/1 -54%) Will Carver		10 10/1(-54%)																															(2) Will Carver 10/1, Three-time hurdles winner who made the perfect start over fences at Cartmel (21f, good to soft) in May. However, his record is rather patchy and, following a third round of wind surgery, he was nearer last than first on return at Cheltenham. Nico de Boinville prefers Doddiethegreat. All rules wins on good going and opposed if the ground is on slow side.

Having made a winning reappearance over 2m2f here last month, Bourbali warrants respect. A 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the seven-year-old, but THE EDGAR WALLACE could be worth chancing fresh. Kim Bailey's charge boasts a fine record on his first start after a break and he makes plenty of appeal dropping back into class 3 company. Market support for Doctor Ken on his return from a 616-day absence would be interesting.

DODDIETHEGREAT is the only one of these without experience over fences but he boasts a fine record when fresh and makes his debut in this sphere on a potentially good mark, particularly judged on his highly creditable fourth in the Betfair Hurdle last winter. It may have simply been a case of a 'bad day at the office' for Es Perfecto at Sandown when last seen and he will be a serious threat if resuming in top form, while Bourbali and Doctor Ken, despite a 20-month absence, also command respect.

This can go to ES PERFECTO (nap), who looks interesting off bottom weight. Doddiethegreat is second choice.

1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +17%) Faerie Cutlass		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(6) Faerie Cutlass 11/4, Successful at Worcester (2½m) in May 2023 and hasn't done a great deal wrong since, most recently finishing second of 10 over C&D (good to soft) last month. No reason why she won't give another good account. Second over C&D last month and she's still unexposed as stayer; in the mix.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Myfanwy's Magic		10 10/1(-25%)																															(1) Myfanwy's Magic 10/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when runner-up in a Warwick novice (2m, heavy) last November and back to that sort of level when filling the same position at Hereford (21.7f, soft) back in February, albeit making hard work of things. Back up in trip and may need this on return. Ended last season with eyecatching second at Hereford; respected back up in trip on return.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 -11%) Melton Mossy		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(4) Melton Mossy 10/3, Gained a fourth win of a very productive first half of the season when striking under this rider here (21f, good to soft) 18 days ago. 5 lb higher so demands more but he has to enter the reckoning in his current mood. Made it 4-7 in handicaps when scoring here (2m5f) latest; respected up 5lb.
4	5 4th (5) (10/3 +39%) Brownstone		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(5) Brownstone 10/3, Fair hurdle winner in Ireland and shrugged off a low-key first run for Grace Harris when second of 10 at Leicester (20.5f, good to soft) last Monday. Claims from the same mark. Eyecatching second over 2m4f at Leicester last Monday and worth another try at this trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -167%) Greatness Awaits		16 16/1(-167%)																															(2) Greatness Awaits 16/1, Been in good form back over hurdles, scoring at Newton Abbot in June and placed next 4 outings. Underperformed reverted to Flat at Wolverhampton on first outing since leaving Ben Pauling (sold £10,000) a fortnight ago and now heads back over obstacles. Struggled back on the Flat on stable debut and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 +28%) Pure Theatre		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(3) Pure Theatre 13/2, Tasted success twice in mares' hurdles in spring 2023 but has been more miss than hit since. Found things too competitive with chasing experiment quickly shelved at Wincanton (21.4f, good) recently but this is more her sort of level. On dangerous mark but she's struggled last twice and needs to turn things around.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 -50%) Rubys Reward		18 18/1(-50%)																															(8) Rubys Reward 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) earlier in the month. Bounce back needed from 3 lb out of the weights. Losing run is up to 12 and was pulled up at Chepstow 19 days ago.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 +60%) Maska Du Morvan		40 40/1(+60%)																															(9) Maska Du Morvan 40/1, Point winner who was pulled up both starts over fences, including on first start for current yard at Exeter recently, and again showed little reverted to hurdles at Chepstow just under 3 weeks ago. 4 lb out of weights and first-time cheekpieces need to spark a major revival. Won a point in May but has struggled back under rules since; lots to prove in new headgear.
9th	10 9th (10) (100/1 +0%) Dark Heather		100 100/1(+0%)																															(10) Dark Heather 100/1, Poor maiden who predictably showed nothing after 22 months off at this course earlier in the month. Easy swerve from well out of the weights. Poor 15-race maiden and she's 11lb out of the weights here; can only be watched.

MELTON MOSSY regained the winning thread when holding on to score over 2m5f here earlier in the month. The son of Valirann isn't certain to stay today's 3m distance, but it looks worth exploring and he may find enough improvement to negate a 5lb rise in the ratings. Myfanwy's Magic was heading in the right direction last season and is feared most on his return to action, ahead of Greatness Awaits.

MELTON MOSSY gained a fourth win of a very productive first half of the season here earlier in the month so Evan Williams' 5-y-o is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise at the expense of Greatness Awaits, who made an underwhelming start on the level for this yard recently but can get back on track returned to hurdles. Pure Theatre was out of her depth at Wincanton last time so completes the shortlist.

Progressive 5yo MELTON MOSSY made it 4-7 in handicaps when scoring over 2m5f here last time and looks worth a try at this new trip.

1	3 1st (3) (1/1 +38%) Kabral Du Mathan		1 1/1(+38%)																															(3) Kabral Du Mathan 1/1, Won sole outing in France last year and made promising start for new connections when readily taking 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in January. Surely has more to offer now moving into handicap company on his return. 2-2 in juvenile hurdles last season; promising type.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +25%) King William Rufus		3 3/1(+25%)																															(5) King William Rufus 3/1, Opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt when making all in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) in March. Creditable runner-up efforts on all 3 outings since (including C&D). Should give another good account. Record of 1222 since switched to front-running tactics; went close here in April; solid.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -200%) Non Stop		6 6/1(-200%)																															(4) Non Stop 6/1, Drew a blank over fences last season but took his hurdle strike-rate to a healthy 3-6 when taking a 2m Plumpton handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Should remain competitive up 5 lb. Suited by the return to hurdles on reappearance, taking record in this sphere to 3-6.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -133%) Zambezi Fix		28 28/1(-133%)																															(1) Zambezi Fix 28/1, Added to his good Chepstow record with chase and hurdle wins last season. Ran as if needing the race on Sandown reappearance a fortnight ago and should be sharper now. Has gained all wins for current yard at Chepstow; not the percentage call.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 +12%) Mucuna		22 22/1(+12%)																															(6) Mucuna 22/1, Just a modest Flat winner but quickly made up into a better hurdler in summer 2022, winning 4 juveniles. Shaped as if retaining ability back from an absence last winter but didn't show much at Newbury on recent return from another 9 months off. Well behind King William Rufus at Newbury; difficult to support with confidence.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +43%) Luttrell Lad		8 8/1(+43%)																															(2) Luttrell Lad 8/1, Resumed winning ways at Cartmel in July 2023. Some good efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 17 in competitive Swinton at Haydock in May, but off since a poor run at Cartmel in June. Usually runs in better races; successful on sole attempt in this grade; one to consider.

A switch to hurdles proved just the tonic for NON STOP when landing the spoils on his return to action at Plumpton earlier this month. Joe Tizzard's inmate is entitled to improve for that seasonal debut effort and a 5lb higher mark may not prevent him from following up. King William Rufus has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings and the seven-year-old is expected to give another good account. The downgraded Luttrell Lad is also worth a second look.

NON STOP gets the vote ahead of the consistent King William Rufus but the unbeaten Kabral du Mathan is bang in the picture now Exeter on Sunday is off..

Back on a sharper course, KING WILLIAM RUFUS holds sound claims. Kabral Du Mathan is feared most.

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.
