11:50 Navan 20f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (Evens +0%) Classical Creek	0 Evens(+0%)	(4) Classical Creek Evens, Ran to form up in grade when third, beaten 5l, in the Future Champions Flat Race (Listed) over 2m here on his latest start. Returns from a long layoff but remains a threat. Yard has won the last two renewals of this race. Decent bumper form last season; major player now switched to hurdles.
14	14 (14) (3/1 +0%) The Store Boy	3 3/1(+0%)	(14) The Store Boy 3/1, Improved for debut experience when third, beaten 6½l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford. Effective at 2m on good to yielding ground and has shown enough to win a maiden. Likely to stay a little further. Promising efforts in 2m maidens; more likely now upped in trip.
8	8 (8) (10/3 +0%) Fillyoureye	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(8) Fillyoureye 10/3, Improved from debut when winning a bumper at Kilbeggan over 2m by 2½l last time. Form of debut run franked and the pick on balance of form with promise of more to come up in trip now hurdling for top yard. Colreevy's half-brother; Kilbeggan bumper win came on better ground; ground a worry.
6	6 (6) (11/1 +0%) Coyote Spirit	11 11/1(+0%)	(6) Coyote Spirit 11/1, Ran to form on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time. In good form prior, and his bumper form has been franked. Effective at 2m on any ground and should improve for the experience. Tame hurdles debut effort at Down Royal in May; first run since.
16	16 (16) (15/2 +0%) Agameoftwohalves	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(16) Agameoftwohalves 15/2, Walk In The Park gelding; half-brother to Crecora Hills, fair at 20f; top trainer. Yard has won last two runnings of race. Half-brother to winning hurdler/chasers Crecora Hills & Search For A Myth; market watch.
17	17 (17) (33/1 +0%) Anodandawink	33 33/1(+0%)	(17) Anodandawink 33/1, Promising debut when runner-up, beaten 8½l, in a maiden over 3m at Monksgrange. Still has plenty to do under rules. Points' second appears the lesser likely of the McManus pair on rules debut.
20	20 (20) (33/1 +0%) Fixios	33 33/1(+0%)	(20) Fixios 33/1, Maxios gelding; half-brother to Fix It For Me, moderate at 20f. Half-brother to points' winners Paloma Dove and Largy Fix; market best guide on debut.
3	3 (3) (40/1 +0%) Button Rock	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Button Rock 40/1, Outpaced but ran to form when well beaten in an auction hurdle over 2m1f at Clonmel last time. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Effective between 2m and 2½m, and the step back up in trip looks a plus though may need handicaps. Well held in both maiden hurdles, yard have stronger contenders.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +0%) Dontcavein	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Dontcavein 40/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 24l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Naas last time. Effective at 2m–2¼m on yielding or heavy ground, and the longer trip should suit. Okay efforts in recent maiden hurdles at Galway and Naas; looks more one for handicaps.
10	10 (10) (40/1 +0%) Gunnery Sergeant	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) Gunnery Sergeant 40/1, Green and made mistakes but showed minor promise when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Limerick. From a top yard that has won this race twice recently, but he doesn't appear the stable's first string. None to fluent and never counted on last month's hurdling debut; likely to need more time.
15	15 (15) (40/1 +0%) Whatafoolbelieves	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Whatafoolbelieves 40/1, Below debut form when well beaten in a bumper over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last time. Returns from a short break and needs to find more. Two bumper runs just okay; will need to improve plenty for switch to hurdles to feature.
2	2 (2) (50/1 +0%) Bryson	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Bryson 50/1, Had too much to do when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time. Trainer in form and effective at 2m1f on yielding or good ground. Should appreciate the step up in trip but may prove better suited to handicaps. Tendency to jump left on both Down Royal maiden runs; lots to find.
11	11 (11) (50/1 +0%) Native Policy	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Native Policy 50/1, Policy Maker gelding; half-brother to Trade Master, moderate at 17f. Debutant likely to be all the better for the experience.
1	1 (1) (66/1 +0%) Attanagh	66 66/1(+0%)	(1) Attanagh 66/1, Shirocco gelding; likely to need this initial experience. Newcomer probably best watched.
18	18 (18) (80/1 +0%) Danny The Champ	80 80/1(+0%)	(18) Danny The Champ 80/1, Outpaced and below debut form when finishing down the field in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Listowel last time. Off a short break and hard to recommend. Big odds, well held in bumpers at Punchestown and Listowel; best watched on hurdles debut.
19	19 (19) (100/1 +0%) Euro Maker	100 100/1(+0%)	(19) Euro Maker 100/1, Green and failed to build on debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 2m on good ground but looks one for low-grade handicaps at best. Two maiden runs don't inspire confidence; hood now replaces tongue-tie.
9	9 (9) (200/1 +0%) Gethegoodtimesroll	200 200/1(+0%)	(9) Gethegoodtimesroll 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability. Longer trips should suit over hurdles but he has it all to prove. Ran out halfway in recent Clonmel maiden hurdle; best watched.
13	13 (13) (200/1 +0%) Sekakarma	200 200/1(+0%)	(13) Sekakarma 200/1, Failed to stay when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at Down Royal last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and plenty more needed. Ordinary form in three maiden hurdles in 2023; long absence to overcome.
21	21 (21) (200/1 +0%) Surrey Force	200 200/1(+0%)	(21) Surrey Force 200/1, Made too much use of when beaten 10l in a handicap over 1m6f here last time. Off a short break and difficult to fancy. Modest Flat maiden; hard to envisage him getting involved here on hurdles debut.
22	22 (22) (200/1 +0%) Thirsty Work	200 200/1(+0%)	(22) Thirsty Work 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time and has everything to prove. Reappeared last month when pulled up after saddle slipped in Galway maiden; best watched.
5	5 (5) (250/1 +0%) Come On Mccaff	250 250/1(+0%)	(5) Come On Mccaff 250/1, Too green to show anything on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Wears a hood for the first time and has everything to prove. Behind throughout on last month's Punchestown debut; hood now tried.
12	12 (12) (40/1 0%) Pat's Legacy	40 40/1(0%)	(12) Pat's Legacy 40/1, Walk In The Park gelding; half-brother to Friends N Commerce, useful from 22f to 24f. Walk In The Park 5yo worth a market check on debut.

CLASSICAL CREEK has smart form and represents a yard that targets this meeting. A 10-length winner of a point-to-point and successful on his bumper debut, he also finished third in a Listed bumper here last December. He hasn't raced since and was withdrawn lame from Graded races in February and April, but will be ready for his reappearance. Fillyoureye, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Colreevy, won a bumper in the spring but although open to progression over jumps, that Kilbeggan form isn't outstanding and he might struggle to beat the selection. The Store Boy has shown ability, while Agameoftwohalves is out of a triple bumper winner.

Gordon Elliott has won this in three of the last four years and could hold the ace here with CLASSICAL CREEK

12:07 Uttoxeter (Class 5) 15f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (10/11 +27%) Reinado	0.909091 10/11(+27%)	(3) Reinado 10/11, Every chance when fell in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest; effective around 2m, acts on S, G; chance if okay after fall. Was stalking the leaders before last-flight fall at Ffos Las; good chance here.
2	2 (2) (11/5 +37%) Feet On The Ground	2.2 11/5(+37%)	(2) Feet On The Ground 11/5, Below form, may have needed run down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; effective at 2m, acts on S; more chance back in a handicap. Placed in two soft-ground C&D maidens last season; big player in this company.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +10%) Kabuki	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(1) Kabuki 9/2, Again showed little when finishing down the field in a novice over 8f at Southwell last time; effective at 2m1f and acts on good ground; return to hurdles may help. Second of five behind short-odds winner on latest hurdle start; bit more needed.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Talap	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Talap 25/1, Again ran to a poor level when 68l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Taunton last time; should be effective at 2m but improvement is needed. Six-time Flat winner but yet to show any significant promise over hurdles (four runs).
5	5 (5) (28/1 -12%) Huxley	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Huxley 28/1, Bit below form when tried in blinkers and back on the Flat, beaten 7 1/4l in a 10f handicap at Brighton last time; still needs to prove stamina for 2m over hurdles. Regressive Flat maiden; ran okay on first of three hurdle runs; ground a big worry here.
8	8 (8) (40/1 +0%) Battle Stride	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Battle Stride 40/1, Below form when tried in a hood and down the field in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; improvement needed now handicapping. Showed minor promise on second hurdle start but has breathing issues; handicap debut.

REINADO looked certain to go close when falling at the last at Ffos Las recently. This wouldn't appear to be the deepest of contests so, provided that tumble hasn't knocked his confidence, he must have an excellent chance. Kabuki should appreciate a return to hurdles having struggled on the Flat in the summer, while market support for handicap debutant Huxley would be noteworthy.

This could be a good opportunity for REINADO, who had not been asked for his effort before his last-flight fall at Ffos Las last month.

12:15 Wetherby (Class 4) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (2/1 +50%) The Big Breac	2 2/1(+50%)	(6) The Big Breac 2/1, Bit below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Hexham last time; stays 3m and acts on soft ground, with possible improvement now switching to fences. 2-2 at Wetherby, namely hurdles wins last winter; interesting back here on chase debut.
1	1 (1) (11/4 +39%) Great Notions	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(1) Great Notions 11/4, Improved from his chase debut, doing plenty early when finishing 10l third in a hunter chase over 3m1f at Cartmel last time; effective at 3m, acts on good ground, and not ruled out back in a handicap. Consistent in points and hunter chases; looks a solid contender on handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +17%) Jupiter Des Bordes	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) Jupiter Des Bordes 10/3, Well backed and ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 106 over 2m6f at Fontwell last time; effective up to 2m5f, acts on soft and good ground, and could improve up in trip. Largely consistent form for new stable; this new trip is worth exploring; respected.
5	5 (5) (9/2 -64%) Monochromix	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(5) Monochromix 9/2, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Perth last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and suited by some give in the ground, but currently in moderate form. Still a maiden but is well treated on best efforts.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -100%) Court At Slip	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Court At Slip 16/1, Outpaced and below form when fourth, beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Perth latest; effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good ground but needs more. Well handicapped if coming back to best form, which includes three wins in 2023.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -22%) Community Rebel	22 22/1(-22%)	(7) Community Rebel 22/1, Needed the run when pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Sedgefield latest; effective at 3m and acts on good ground, though inconsistent overall. Far from solid on his form for new yard.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -75%) Monaghan Boy	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Monaghan Boy 28/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Sedgefield most recent; effective up to 3m3f, acts on soft ground, but has a bit to prove on return. Record is only 1-19; 5lb out of the weights; opposed.

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

Saint Arvans was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when second at Kelso and, despite a 1lb rise, he can launch another stern challenge. However, stepping up to 3m appeared likely to suit JUPITER DES BORDES for much of last season and now afforded just that, he could take the necessary step forward. The Big Breac struggled at Hexham when last seen in March, but he was otherwise progressive last term and is interesting now sent over fences.

Interesting chase debutant THE BIG BREAC is preferred, ahead of solid contenders Jupiter Des Bordes and Great Notions.

12:25 Navan 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (5/2 +0%) Watching The Clock	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(9) Watching The Clock 5/2, Scored by 3 1/2l off 93 over 2m at Gowran Park on her penultimate start. Had too much to do when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l off 103 last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good or soft ground. Progressing and should benefit from stepping back up in trip. Won nicely at Gowran on 2nd h'cap start; promise in recent fourth but jumping let her down.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +0%) Club Manager	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Club Manager 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 107 over 2m at Wexford last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on any going. Generally consistent. Sole success over hurdles came off 5lb lower but ran well last time when 2nd; place chance.
10	10 (10) (8/1 +0%) Bossing It	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Bossing It 8/1, All but fell as the race was developing but still ran to form when third, beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Galway last time. Returns from a short break and is effective from 2m to 2m5f. Maiden hurdle winner has steadily improved in 3 h'cap runs but needs more to feature.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +0%) Its Not Over Yet	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Its Not Over Yet 9/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Punchestown last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Best around 3m on easy ground and looks on a fair mark. Dual-hurdles winner came back to form at Ballinrobe but didn't back it up; soft suits.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +0%) Killinure Lass	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Killinure Lass 10/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 105 at Tramore on her penultimate start and ran to form when fourth, beaten 7l off 110 last time. Trainer in form. Effective from 2m to 2 3/4m and goes well at Tramore over hurdles and fences. On a career high mark following fifth hurdles win on penultimate; some better handicapped.
11	11 (11) (10/1 +0%) Themanintheboots	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) Themanintheboots 10/1, Returned to form when beaten a neck off 100 over 3m at Ayr last time. Blinkers on for the first time. Best at 3m, acts on soft and sound surfaces. On a fair mark if building on that recent revival. Struggled since back-to-back wins in 2023 but better at Ayr last time; can't rule out.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +0%) Clonbury Bridge	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Clonbury Bridge 14/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 110 over 3m at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start and ran to form when sixth, beaten 11l off 115 last time. Trainer in form. Well treated on old form but inconsistent. Effective at 2 1/2m and ideally wants some give. Six career wins and 12lb lower mark in this sphere but not sure to make it count.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Mon Sheriffe	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Mon Sheriffe 14/1, Every chance and ran to form when fourth, beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Cork last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m. In fair form but the mark demands more. Too keen around here over 2m5f and a distant fourth at Cork over 18.5f last time.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +0%) Midleton Rare	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Midleton Rare 14/1, Scored by 2l off 85 over 2m3f at Limerick on his penultimate start but may not have stayed when 16th, beaten 32l off 93 last time. Effective around 2 1/2m with cut and remains well treated on bumper form. Made immediate impact for new yard in tongue-tie, but tailed off last time; hard to trust.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +0%) Arch Enemy	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Arch Enemy 20/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Wexford last time. Effective at 2m and worth a try at 2 1/2m. In poor form in both codes. Still 8lb above mark for sole hurdles win; out of form on Flat and fell latest.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +0%) Must Meet Cecil	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Must Meet Cecil 20/1, Kicked on far too soon and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Wexford last time. Effective at 2m and prefers decent ground. Well handicapped on claiming form but conditions could be a concern. Front-runner may struggle at this distance on softer conditions.
13	13 (13) (25/1 +0%) The Little Yank	25 25/1(+0%)	(13) The Little Yank 25/1, Not best placed and a bit below form when fourth, beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Sligo last time. Usually held up. Effective at 3m and wants decent ground. Well treated on old hurdle and chase form though conditions may be a concern. Experienced 10yo is 2lb below last winning mark and ran creditably on penultimate.
1	1 (1) (7/1 0%) Paul's Dream	7 7/1(0%)	(1) Paul's Dream 7/1, Landed a handicap by 3 1/2l off 103 over 2m at Fairyhouse on her penultimate start. Fell in the Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) when travelling and closing late looking a threat. Progressive at 2m on yielding or good ground and may get a bit further. Looks thrown in back in a handicap and could be tough to beat. Improving mare has bagged two wins and ran well at Cheltenham; soft conditions a question.

WATCHING THE CLOCK is a progressive four-year-old who should be suited by reverting to this distance. Her initial form was unexciting but having scored on soft ground at Gowran last month, she subsequently finished well for fourth at Punchestown. She can continue to progress and the extra half-mile will help. Similarly, Paul's Dream steps up in trip, having been in contention when falling at the second-last in Cheltenham. She could well improve at this distance, but is unproven on heavy ground. Killinure Lass wasn't disgraced at Thurles when attempting to follow up on her earlier Tramore success and must enter calculations from an unchanged mark.

A lot in with chances, but the tentative nod is given to WATCHING THE CLOCK, who is in the mix with a better round of jumping

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (9/4 +10%) Precious Man	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(1) Precious Man 9/4, Improved when winning a juvenile hurdle at Auteuil over 2m2f by a head last time; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective around 2m and handles ground with some cut; showed useful form in France and should have more to offer for a top yard. British debutant whose French form, shown at Auteuil, has substance; interesting.
10	10 (10) (5/2 +55%) Secret Force	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(10) Secret Force 5/2, Won a juvenile hurdle at Punchestown by 6 1/2l last time; effective at 2m and acts on any ground; very well bred and could progress further for his new yard over hurdles; probably already sets the form standard on debut effort. 2-2 for new yard, last time winning a notable race at Punchestown on hurdles debut.
9	9 (9) (10/3 +72%) One Horse Town	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(9) One Horse Town 10/3, Quickened clear easily and improved under a positive ride at a sharp track when outclassing rivals to win a juvenile hurdle at Kempton by 10l last time; effective at 2m on good ground; looks a useful summer recruit over hurdles who isn't dismissed up in grade. Three easy wins since switched to this code; brings potential to these deeper waters.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +43%) Galactique	8 8/1(+43%)	(3) Galactique 8/1, Still learning but improved to defy a penalty when winning a juvenile hurdle at Fontwell over 2m2f by 2 1/4l last time; effective at 2m on decent ground; the yard does well with ex-Flat horses in this sphere and the stiff track should suit. Progressive in juvenile hurdles at Fontwell; new scenario and upped in class.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +25%) Kate O'riley	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Kate O'riley 12/1, The yard has won the last two renewals of this race; overcame greenness on a promising hurdle debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Ludlow by 4l last time; effective at 2m and acts on good to firm ground; unproven on softer going. Easy success against her own sex at Ludlow; now the sole filly in a stronger field.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +45%) Lord	12 12/1(+45%)	(7) Lord 12/1, Quickened clear with ease and outclassed rivals when winning a juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen over 2m1f by 7 1/2l last time; effective around 2m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and may handle cut; continues to progress but this demands much more. Productive (2111) in juvenile hurdles for Olly Murphy; limitations not yet exposed.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -191%) Hallelujah U	16 16/1(-191%)	(4) Hallelujah U 16/1, The yard has won the last two runnings of this race; ran to form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 1m6f at Goodwood last time; returning from a break and could be competitive for yard which does well with similar types on hurdle debut. Brings good credentials to this sphere, based on his Flat form and connections.
6	6 (6) (50/1 +0%) Kasper Hauser	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Kasper Hauser 50/1, Still green and made mistakes but improved when beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; had been in good form prior; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; progressive over hurdles but looks vulnerable up in grade. Still seeking first win of any description and faces a stiff task.

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

Hallelujah U wasn't beaten far in the Queen's Vase and was third behind Scandinavia in the Bahrain Trophy, and his connections have won this race for the past two seasons with Burdett Road and East India Dock. That pair had previous jumping experience, though, something PRECIOUS MAN has from Auteuil, where he had subsequent winners behind when successful in May. He is just preferred to fellow French recruit Parchment, who impressed at Clairefontaine and has since joined David Pipe. Secret Force looked a natural at Punchestown and must be feared.

Given that his Auteuil form has worked out nicely, PRECIOUS MAN could well defy top weight. Parchment is second pick.

6	6 (6) (4/6 +0%) Queenofthejukebox	0.666667 4/6(+0%)	(6) Queenofthejukebox 4/6, Ran to form and defied a penalty when winning a mares' bumper here over 2m by 1 1/4l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground; could go well now hurdling. Looked useful in bumpers last season; leading contender on hurdle debut.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +44%) Harmony Heights	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(5) Harmony Heights 9/4, Outpaced but improved up in trip when 3l third in a novice hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m4f and suited by good ground, though conditions could be an issue. Showed promise in bumpers last season and when close third of five on hurdle debut.
7	7 (7) (11/2 0%) Rene's Walk	5.5 11/2(0%)	(7) Rene's Walk 11/2, Improved when fourth, beaten 8l in a mares' bumper over 2m at Warwick last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Trip should suit now hurdling. Well-bred mare; fourth of 13 in Warwick bumper in February; ought to make presence felt.

Many of these lack experience over timber, but dual bumper winner QUEENOFTHEJUKEBOX could make a smooth transition to hurdling. There is plenty of stamina on the dam's side, but she is from the family of classy two-miler Accordion Etoile so this intermediate trip shouldn't be a problem. Harmony Heights shaped with promise on her hurdling bow at Chepstow and is entitled to improve. Irish import Cool Brise and Rene's Walk would also warrant consideration should the market react favourably to them.

Course bumper winner QUEENOFTHEJUKEBOX looks a good prospect for novice hurdles this season and gets the nod.

GET ON GEORGE confirmed the promise of his narrow bumper defeat on debut at Hexham when filling fourth place on his first start over hurdles at Carlisle. On that evidence, the five-year-old could be hard to beat in this company. Smart Decision is already a three-time winner over hurdles, but they were Junior NH contests last season and this will demand more from him. Uptown Dandy is the clear pick of the remainder.

The biggest players on hurdles form are GET ON GEORGE and Smart Decision, while Uptown Dandy is interesting.

COLONIA VICTORIA is useful and should compete from her 118 rating. Placed fourth at Group 3 level on the Flat in Italy in 2023, she scored over hurdles at Cork back in April, beating a now 119-rated runner-up, while the third also scored subsequently. She conceded weight to the winner at Wexford recently and has form on soft ground. Lambay Island was heavily supported when finishing a close enough third on his return at Thurles. That form is unexciting, but he met race-fit rivals on lively ground and can progress. Scalpnagoon's last two starts were disappointing, but he had previously shown ability and it is encouraging that Jack Kennedy rides on his reappearance.

None of them jump off the page, so although COLONIA VICTORIA looks like further will suit better perhaps she can get away with it here

Even accounting for the fact that AUREA FORTUNA is 15lb higher than for last month's comfortable Punchestown triumph, he is still 5lb below his hurdles rating. He is unlikely to slip under the radar with punters, but should be open to plenty more improvement. Sound And Fury contributed to Ben Pauling's fine recent run when making a successful comeback at Carlisle. Kelce offered plenty of encouragement when fourth under today's rider over C&D last month, and represents last year's winning stable. Imperial Alex has been freshened up following a Perth victory and commands attention too.

Back down in grade, HERAKLES WESTWOOD could well resume his progress. Kelce is second choice, ahead of Sound And Fury.

AWORKINPROGRESS might have lived up to his name over hurdles, but it was a completely different story when switched to the larger obstacles last term. A perfect four from four so far, including a hat-trick of wins at Lingfield, the progressive gelding may still be well handicapped from 7lb higher. Given that he's been successful when fresh previously, this could be another fine opportunity. Broomfields Cave has a lengthy absence to overcome but looks the biggest threat, although Gold Clermont should benefit from a drop in trip.

It will be interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with GOLD CLERMONT (nap), who makes his seasonal/stable debut from a good mark.

The progressive Saligo Bay has to be given the utmost respect after his C&D win two weeks ago, but a chance can be taken on MALYSTIC. Peter Niven's veteran has not been seen over hurdles since 2020, but has proven to be a quality chaser since then. He won at Kelso in September off a mark of 129 and that suggests that he can play a big role here off just 1lb higher. Bust A Move and Hara Kiri are others to consider.

The 4yo MARCHE D'ALIGRE returns from a break with trainer Jamie Snowden in excellent form and earns the vote.

Maiden hurdle winner was possibly lucky to win at Galway latest but the one to beat.

ACE BRANNIGAN looked capable in winning last month and remains unexposed. Well related, he finished a close second on point-to-point debut last December and, at Tipperary, defeated last weekend's Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle winner Letos comfortably. He has form on soft ground and is suited by this distance. Capable but keen, I'll Sort That was under pressure when left clear at the last in Galway and although 4lb worse off with Ma Jacks Hill, can confirm the form if he settles better. It is a negative that Theflyingking is his trainer's apparent second string because he is closely matched with I'll Sort That on bumper form and was unlucky last time at Down Royal.

ACE BRANNIGAN (nap) comprehensively beat subsequent Brown Lad winner Letos last time and can defeat main rival I'll Sort That

5	5 (5) (6/5 +0%) July Flower	1.2 6/5(+0%)	(5) July Flower 6/5, Went clear with ease on a very promising debut when outclassing rivals to win a beginners' chase at Limerick over 2m3f by 11l last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and suited by plenty of cut; more to come over fences for yard which excels with chasers. Clearcut win on chase debut at Limerick suggests she can take high rank among the novices.

Dan Skelton treads the same path as he did with last year's winner L'eau Du Sud, with Be Aware arriving after making a successful chasing debut in a Stratford handicap. July Flower also made a seamless transition to fences when scoring at Limerick and is a player in receipt of the mares' allowance, but BURDETT ROAD is a class act. Victorious at this meeting for the past two years, James Owen's five-year-old avoided the Champion Hurdle drama to pick up the silver medal and warmed up for this new test with a solid second behind Rubaud at Kempton.

Be Aware was impressive on his chasing debut but even stronger claims are held by the easy Limerick winner JULY FLOWER.

Tricky to weigh up at present but this is an ease in grade.

Last year's winner Lime Drop is back for more, although she is 10lb higher this time around and arrives following a fall on her reappearance. She still warrants consideration but BLACKSAMSSENORITA showed good ability as a novice hurdler and is fancied to take her game to a new level now she tackles fences, with a mark of 108 perfectly acceptable on her handicap bow. Passing Kate has won both completed starts in this sphere, although her jumping when pulled up in between those victories gives cause for concern.

The pick is LUNAR DISCOVERY, who needs to rebound from a below-par run last month but was a creditable third over C&D in September.

Gordon Elliott's THE YELLOW CLAY is two from two over hurdles at this venue and his proven ability on testing ground will be a real asset to him. Although he would prefer a sounder surface, he powered clear on heavy ground to land a Grade 3 at this festival last year. Jetara is race-fit from the Flat and has a couple of placed efforts in Grade 1 company at Aintree and Punchestown to call upon. She has the assistance of Paul Townend and is a big player. Elliott's Maxxum is only rated 3lb inferior to The Yellow Clay and is a winner at Grade 2 level over flights around here. He is more than capable of a big run from the front.

Denied a recent comeback run at Down Royal due to a skin allergy, THE YELLOW CLAY looks the one to beat

Il Ridoto landed the corresponding event off 1lb lower 12 months ago and he merits respect, while Panic Attack ended last season with a close-up second over hurdles at Warwick. The nine-year-old, who is two from five over fences, is relatively unexposed and is one to keep on the right side of this term. That being said, Henry de Bromhead has made a fine start to the new season and COMING UP EASY could represent some value. An easy winner of a Listed handicap at Killarney in August, completing a hat-trick in the process, there could be a lot more to come. Others to note include Conyers Hill and Vincenzo.

Sam Thomas is in flying form and VINCENZO, who was a highly progressive novice last season, is taken to make a winning reappearance.

JASMINE D'AIRY made amends for a couple of defeats as favourite when laughing at a subsequent three-time winner in the hands of Ben Sutton at Plumpton. Given time to strengthen further, Harry Derham's mare can pick up where she left off, although Choice Runner was in the process of making an encouraging jumping debut when coming to grief here back in the spring and has had wind surgery during his time off. U S Marshall cost 55,000 pounds after scoring between the flags in Ireland and is also noted.

Plumpton winner JASMINE D'AIRY has the best form and may follow up. Choice Runner may have untapped potential.

Left Eoin Doyle for £11,000 last month; British debut off what seems pretty demanding mark.

CARISMATIC SOLDIER had a subsequent scorer immediately behind him when chasing home a couple of previous winners at Warwick and starts off in handicaps on a fair mark, which he can take advantage of for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Smokeringinthedark made a pleasing enough handicap bow at Hexham back in the spring and should be able to build on that. Imperial Merlin's Bangor display was too bad to be true and he may be keeping on when others have cried enough.

Several others are of interest but the two best options may be CARISMATIC SOLDIER and Smokeringinthedark.

A cracking contest. With more and more rain falling, DINOBLUE could represent value in receipt of the mares' allowance. She returns to action in search of a four-timer and has an enviable strike rate over fences. She ploughs through attritional ground and is weighted to make a race of it with the favourite Marine Nationale. He is the one to beat having won the Champion Chase at both Cheltenham and Punchestown last season. He is a real 'speed' horse over 2m and, whilst that is the case, heavy ground is a nagging doubt despite his undoubted class. Captain Guinness won this race in 2022 and 2023 so shouldn't be underestimated, while last year's hero, Found A Fifty, is also in the mix.

MARINE NATIONALE is the one to beat although he was below his best on last season's return to action

This could be a fine opportunity for SUPREMELY WEST, who shaped with real promise on his seasonal return/first run following wind surgery over C&D last month. Third and over two lengths ahead of the reopposing Long Draw (fourth), it's quite possible that he could take a considerable step forward. Kikijo has few miles on the clock and any improvement on his recent Aintree fourth would bring him firmly into the reckoning.

Supremely West is set to run well. KIKIJO (nap) is far less exposed and a thorough test of stamina should see him in the best light.

Hillsin has to be respected following his Exeter success last month, but a 3lb rise demands more from him. With that in mind, preference is for DRAYTON FLYER, who has shown promise in all three starts to date and a mark of 104 should be workable on his handicap debut. Thank You Blue edges out Tarbuck to be best of the rest.

The percentage call is DRAYTON FLYER who shaped nicely in two runs over hurdles last term and has potential, unlike most of his rivals.

Patrick Mullins is an interesting booking for Cueros, who made the best possible start to life with Harry Derham on his hurdling debut at Newcastle. That form may not amount to much, though, whereas FRESH PERSPECTIVE took in a Listed assignment in between landing a Uttoxeter bumper and making a winning timber bow at Fontwell. He seems quite a nice prospect for Jamie Snowden. Minstrel Knight brings smart Flat handicap form to the table, while Lirone Du Seuil has joined Dan Skelton since a Fontainebleau second back in February.

Jamie Snowden has a highly likeable prospect on his hands in FRESH PERSPECTIVE who is taken to make it 2-2 over hurdles.

KOPEK DES BORDES makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences and is hard to get away from. He is a dual Grade 1 winner over flights, including in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival, and is the antepost favourite for the Arkle in March following positive updates on his schooling over fences. The rain will be music to Ballybow's ears and he could make his presence felt on his first crack at the larger obstacles. He was successful at Grade 3 level over the smaller obstacles. Jump Allen has acquitted himself well over timber and is proven over further, while lightly-raced Lovely Hurling and the returning Harvard Guy add more spice to the mix.

All eyes will be on KOPEK DES BORDES on chasing debut, although he'll have to give his fences more respect than he did his hurdles

Ran to form appreciating a stiff test when third, beaten 6l off 105 last time. Off a short break; effective around 2¼m but ideally wants 2½m; progressive on sound surface and can pose a threat. Heading the right way in Ireland but with more to prove if he's back on soft ground.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -65%) Lavender Hill Mob	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Lavender Hill Mob 33/1, Ran to form when 5½l third in the Rose Bowl Stakes (Listed) over 2m at Newmarket on his latest start. Off a short break and useful flat performer has big stamian worries up in trip. 1-6 over hurdles last season and rather went the wrong way; doing well on the Flat though.

Jurancon was a promising novice last season and won impressively on his handicap debut at Newbury in March. David Pipe's gelding merits plenty of respect, but his lack of a recent run just gives the edge to FRENCH SHIP. The latter had plenty in hand when winning a similar event over 2m4f here last month and even an 8lb rise may still underestimate him. Royal Infantry is another with strong claims after his third at Chepstow, while Kap Boy and last year's winner Hamsiyann are also noted.

It is hard to say who brings the most potential but it might be ROYAL RAMBLER. Second choice is Kap Boy.

Beaten 20l when fourth of six at Wetherby on debut; improvement required.

RATHKENNY ran well on both starts between the flags and was successful on the most recent of those occasions in April. The five-year-old makes his Rules debut here and could be up making it a victorious one. Any market support for Eastern Fire or Laraktar would have to be noted, while Maximum Benefit is the pick of those with bumper experience.

Preference is for RATHKENNY who has already shown a fair level of ability in points. Eastern Fire and Laraktar are feared.

2	2 (2) (15/8 +53%) Issam	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(2) Issam 15/8, Travelled well but had too much to do down in trip, slow late jumps proved costly when beaten a neck off 130 over 1m7f at Sandown last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts well on soft; chance if ready. Promising start to chase career early this year and reappears with yard among the winners.

Inconsistent but this C&D brings out the best in him and he's capable of a bold show.

CERENDIPITY may have bumped into a smart one when chasing home Be Aware at Stratford and meets nothing with that potential here. The eight-year-old generally performs well at this venue and that recent run gives him an edge over Issam, who came within a neck of making it two from two over fences at Sandown back in February. Primoz was disappointing here last month, but there will be plenty who keep faith with him. Heltenham is slipping back down the handicap, while Geryville beat the selection over C&D towards the beginning of the year.

Five-time hurdle winner ISSAM (nap) looked even better when switched to fences early this year and should have more to offer.

LEMMY CAUTION's homework has been good according to a recent stable tour and this point-to-point winner is fancied to make a successful transition to the racecourse for Gordon Elliott. Jet To Monte Carlo looks a significant threat as he cruised to victory by a wide margin in a Ballynoe point-to-point in March before switching to Emmet Mullins' yard. Leonard Vallis attracted support ahead of his debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last month and there was promise in his runner-up finish. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Springs Steen is well worth a market check, while Le Roi Du Livet was narrowly denied in a bumper at Tramore last month.

This could be a shootout between expensive point purchases LEMMY CAUTION and Jet To Monte Carlo, with the vote given to the former

CELESTIAL TUNE has improved with every start and she got off the mark in impressive fashion at Listowel in September. The daughter of Maxios may have more progression left to come and she is arguably the one to beat. Divine Diva won well on her only start between the flags and Dan Skelton's filly should not be underestimated on her Rules debut. Others who make the shortlist are Eremenko, Rock Sensation and Amina.

Irish stables have won the last two runnings and CELESTIAL TUNE can extend the sequence. Southwell winner Eremenko 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.
