6.5/1(+59%)
(6) Maggie Barrett 6.5/1, Modest form over hurdles in Ireland, showing more when third on handicap bow at Downpatrick in July. However, failed to repeat that effort next time. Third in point in October. First run for yard after leaving B. R. Hamilton.

4th (5) (14/1 -27%) Licit
14/1(-27%)
(5) Licit 14/1, Fair on Flat and made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in a Redcar seller last month. Needed the experience when third on only previous outing over hurdles back in December 2020 (for previous trainer). Could do better this time.
5th
5th (3) (7/1 +30%) Its A Midnight
7/1(+30%)
(3) Its A Midnight 7/1, Modest in bumpers and offered something to work on when third of 6 on hurdles debut at Hexham (16.2f) in May. Shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fourth back at the same C&D 40 days ago. Shortlisted up in trip.
6th
6th (1) (250/1 -100%) Blame Rose
250/1(-100%)

8/1(+0%)

(5) Glen Cannel 6/1, Strong in the betting and shaped like a stayer when third of 8 in 2m bumper at Worcester (soft) on NH debut 66 days ago, finishing with running left. Longer trip will suit now hurdling and enters calculations.
2
2nd (8) (4/1 +0%) Jacks Touch
4/1(+0%)
(8) Jacks Touch 4/1, Jeremy mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Dime A Dozen. Backed at long odds and ran to a fair level first time up despite showing signs of inexperience when runner-up in 2m4f maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse back in March 2021. Has left Leonard Whitmore and betting should guide.
3

(6) Lunar Contact 1.5/1, €50,000 3-y-o, 60,000 gns 4-y-o, Sea Moon gelding. Dam unraced sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Briar Hill and bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Jazzaway.

8.5/1(+87%)
(2) Jack Doyen 8.5/1, Placed in points but looked in need of the run when well held on hurdling debut at Worcester 3 weeks ago.

|PU|
|PU| (1) (33/1 +0%) Gone To Texas
33/1(+0%)
(1) Gone To Texas 33/1, Made the frame on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points and showed a bit on Rules/hurdling debut at Warwick in April but is most likely one for handicaps later on.

33/1(+18%)
(4) Superstylin 33/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers (won Irish point in between) and offered little sent hurdling at Chepstow last month.

3
3rd (5) (4.5/1 +40%) Escobedo
4.5/1(+40%)
(5) Escobedo 4.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but he has shown little in three runs in this sphere, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 17 days ago. Much more required now going into handicaps.
4
4th (2) (3/1 +33%) Mind Hunter
3/1(+33%)
(2) Mind Hunter 3/1, Winner at Newton Abbot in April but he looked rusty after 5 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) 25 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

14/1(+13%)
(3) Uther Pendragon 14/1, Arrives below par, only sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 21 days ago. Switches to hurdles with more required.

LTO Selection:
12:25 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(8) Future Benefits 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, failed to improve on handicap hurdle debut when seventh of 15 at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) 24 days ago, shaping as if in need of step back up to this sort of trip. Improvement required on chase debut.
2
2nd (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Aire Valley Lad
4.5/1(+25%)
(4) Aire Valley Lad 4.5/1, Unreliable sort. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Attracted support when sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago but ran another moody race and is generally opposable at present.
3
3rd (6) (5/1 +29%) Elleon
5/1(+29%)
(6) Elleon 5/1, Bumper winner. Standout effort over hurdles last season came when fourth of 15 in handicap at Fontwell (21.6f) in January. Makes chase debut on his first run for yard after leaving Warren Greatrex. Others preferred.
4
4th (3) (6/1 -100%) Aazza
6/1(-100%)
(3) Aazza 6/1, Irish point winner was outpaced over 2m on chase bow last month and though she unseated early at Hexham last time, she should improve back at a more suitable trip. Predicted lack of pace slight concern here but she's high on the shortlist.
5th
5th (7) (22/1 -57%) Trac
22/1(-57%)
(7) Trac 22/1, Won at Wetherby on penultimate hurdles outing last term but form from that race didn't work out and was pulled up lame when last seen. Winless from 6 chase starts in France but could be interesting now in handicap.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (5/1 -82%) Sputnik
5/1(-82%)
(2) Sputnik 5/1, Off the mark over fences at Hexham in April and had bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, soft, 5/1) 19 days ago. Can go well again.

10/1(+29%)
(5) Beat The Edge 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, soft). Off 7 months. Point runner-up looks on fair mark for chase debut.

14/1(-17%)
(1) Devour 14/1, Runner-up over C&D in April and looked rusty on return from summer break when last of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Respected.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(11) Landrake 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/4, matched previous form returning from 8 months off when third of 10 in bumper at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 17 days ago. One to note on hurdles debut for top yard.
2
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) Corbetts Cross
4/1(-45%)
(1) Corbetts Cross 4/1, 5/1, suited by emphasis on stamina to get off the mark after 5 months off in 9-runner bumper at Cork (19f, heavy) 32 days ago, produced to lead 2f out. Makes hurdles debut.
3
3rd (12) (1.62/1 +60%) Potters Party
1.62/1(+60%)
(12) Potters Party 1.62/1, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Cotswold Way. One to take seriously having finished runner-up sole start in points (Mar 6).
4
4th (8) (3.2/1 +9%) Easy Fella
3.2/1(+9%)
(8) Easy Fella 3.2/1, 9/1, third of 21 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good) on hurdles bow 6 months ago. Several winners have emerged from that contest so he's fancied to go close today with Davy Russell taking over in the plate.
5th
5th (13) (7.5/1 -50%) Silver Gazette
7.5/1(-50%)
(13) Silver Gazette 7.5/1, Fair hurdler. Ran his best race to date when second of 9 in maiden hurdle (12/1) at Thurles (23.3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, clear of remainder. Should be in the mix.
6th
6th (5) (80/1 -60%) Cheerful Chap
80/1(-60%)
(5) Cheerful Chap 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fared better than on hurdling debut after 4 months off when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 12/1) 5 weeks ago. Back up in trip.

7th (2) (12/1 +25%) Ahead Of The Posse
12/1(+25%)

8th
8th (9) (66/1 +34%) Joy Of Life
66/1(+34%)
(9) Joy Of Life 66/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle 6 months apart so he's tough to make a case for.
9th
9th (15) (150/1 +0%) Big Ears
150/1(+0%)
(15) Big Ears 150/1, 80/1, pulled up in bumper at Warwick (16f, good), losing touch quickly 5f out. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Philip Kirby.

200/1(-33%)
(6) Coolavin Boy 200/1, 80/1, twelfth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (22f, good to soft) on NH debut 6 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Ciaran Murphy.

16th (7) (250/1 -25%) Duncarrig
250/1(-25%)
(7) Duncarrig 250/1, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to temperamental but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Derintoher Yank and modest chaser Shattered Glass. Dam (b85) lightly raced in bumpers. Pulled up both starts in points (latest Feb 6).
LTO Selection:
12:42 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(6) Lady Babs 1.88/1, Dual C&D winner who belatedly ran her race away from this course when runner-up at Sedgefield earlier this month. Off the same mark today and has to be of serious interest back at this venue.
2
2nd (7) (2.75/1 +61%) Gone In Sixty
2.75/1(+61%)
(7) Gone In Sixty 2.75/1, Showed plenty when runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in May. Hasn't matched that in 4 starts over hurdles, failing to improve switched to a handicap at Stratford 3 weeks ago, so percentage call is to look elsewhere.
3
3rd (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Fanfan Du Seuil
3.5/1(+22%)
(1) Fanfan Du Seuil 3.5/1, Losing run stretches back to November 2018 but shaped as if retaining his ability on first start for his new yard when fourth at Huntingdon last month, the run almost certainly needed. Dangerous to discount with his mark easing a shade further.
4
4th (2) (5/1 -100%) Three Platoon
5/1(-100%)
(2) Three Platoon 5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (well held both starts this summer). Sound enough start to hurdles career in recent months, third in a Sedgefield maiden latest, and he's one to look out for on handicap debut.
5th
5th (4) (18/1 +10%) Perfect Man
18/1(+10%)
(4) Perfect Man 18/1, Course winner who is on a long losing run but came close to taking advantage of sliding mark when runner-up at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft, 10/1) in March. Looked very rusty after 7 months off at Kelso recently so will need to step up markedly on that showing.
6th
6th (5) (33/1 -50%) Kracquer
33/1(-50%)
(5) Kracquer 33/1, Was returning from a 17-month absence when well held on hurdles debut but bettered that when third in a Bangor maiden (16.7f, good to firm) back in May. No immediate promise sent handicapping on return at Chepstow last month though, so easy to look elsewhere.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (33/1 -230%) More To Follow
33/1(-230%)
(8) More To Follow 33/1, Showed little in two hurdling outings for Andrew Slattery and similar comments applied starting out for new stable at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. Could have more of an impact now handicapping.
(5) Stormin Crossgales 1.38/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 15f maiden hurdle here 7 months ago. Makes chase debut now and he can't be ruled out.
2
2nd (2) (1.88/1 -7%) Cap Du Mathan
1.88/1(-7%)
(2) Cap Du Mathan 1.88/1, Low-mileage ex-French 7-y-o who scored over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in January. Raced freely after 8 months off when fading fourth in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f) on debut over fences 23 days ago. Open to improvement. Player.
3
3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Fakir
7/1(+22%)
(4) Fakir 7/1, Lightly raced in recent seasons but got right back on track for his new yard when landing 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f). Had a breathing op before coming in last of 5 in handicap chase at Sandown 11 days ago so others appeal more.
4
4th (3) (10/1 -100%) Fast Buck
10/1(-100%)
(3) Fast Buck 10/1, Very useful form for Paul Nicholls in 2020/21 but below par last term for Dan Skelton. Had a wind op before coming in last in listed hurdle at Kempton 32 days ago so has plenty to prove.
5th
5th (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Stepney Causeway
8.5/1(-70%)
(1) Stepney Causeway 8.5/1, Useful form without winning for Dan Skelton, catching the eye under a patient ride when third in Chepstow handicap chase 23 days ago. Weighted to go well on his yard debut so one to consider.
LTO Selection:
12:55 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Fenland Tiger 3.33/1, Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and in his qualifying runs over hurdles. After 9 months off, duly made a winning handicap debut upped in trip at Carlisle (20f) before following up at Hexham (23.3f) 13 days ago. Respected.
2
2nd (11) (7.5/1 +32%) Great Raffles
7.5/1(+32%)
(11) Great Raffles 7.5/1, With cheekpieces reapplied, was thriving when last seen in the spring as he got off the mark at Wetherby (24.1f) in March. Upped further in trip, made it back-to-back wins at Sedgefield (27f) the following month. Contender on his return.
3
3rd (9) (28/1 +15%) Just Jess
28/1(+15%)
(9) Just Jess 28/1, Showed much-improved form when making a winning return in a Hexham novice last season, but hasn't gone on from that effort since. Possibly needed the run back at Hexham 13 days ago, though has enough to prove at present.
4
4th (3) (22/1 -57%) Thatbeatsbanagher
22/1(-57%)
(3) Thatbeatsbanagher 22/1, Returned to form when readily accounting for 4 rivals at Sedgefield (27f) in September. However, followed a good effort with a below-par one at Hexham later the same month. Capable if on a going day.
5th
5th (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Let Me Entertain U
4.5/1(+25%)
(4) Let Me Entertain U 4.5/1, Made winning debut in a bumper back in 2020 but remains a maiden over hurdles. After 6 months off and a second wind op, travelled more kindly in a first-time visor when fourth at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 20 days ago. Needs to build on that effort.
6th
6th (7) (2.75/1 +21%) Bouncing Bobby
2.75/1(+21%)
(7) Bouncing Bobby 2.75/1, Didn't show much over hurdles last winter, but after a good spell on the Flat he opened his account over timber at Carlisle (20f, heavy) last month. Open to further improvement in this sphere and can follow up.
7th
7th (5) (6/1 +8%) Pileup
6/1(+8%)
(5) Pileup 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran respectably when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Wetherby (21.2f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt with more to offer upped further in trip.
8th
8th (12) (25/1 -39%) Misscarlett
25/1(-39%)
(12) Misscarlett 25/1, Mixed bag over timber and on the level since winning handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f) in November last year, though produced one of her better recent efforts when second of 4 at Perth (23.9f) in September. Last on the Flat since.
9th
9th (13) (28/1 +30%) Sir Jim
28/1(+30%)
(13) Sir Jim 28/1, Yet to make much impact in five starts over hurdles, finding no improvement for the switch to handicaps on his last 2 outings. Needs to leave previous form well behind on return having had another wind op.
10th
10th (15) (80/1 -21%) Smart Boyo
80/1(-21%)
(15) Smart Boyo 80/1, Little promise in trio of juvenile events and was well out of the handicap when seventh of 12 on handicap bow at this course (20.3f) in April. Has made the frame once from 3 starts on the level since, but he's out of the weights again here.
11th
11th (6) (16/1 +20%) Ribeye
16/1(+20%)
(6) Ribeye 16/1, Has improved since upped to 3m, comfortably getting off the mark at Newcastle in April. After an 8 lb rise in the weights, could only finish mid-field at Hexham on his next outing though. Needs to find more on his return.
12th
12th (1) (40/1 +0%) Moonlight Glory
40/1(+0%)
(1) Moonlight Glory 40/1, Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and good start for new yard when runner-up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f) in March. After 7 months off, looked rusty at Kelso 26 days ago. This run should reveal more back hurdling upped in trip.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (20/1 +50%) Goldrapper
20/1(+50%)
(14) Goldrapper 20/1, Remains a maiden after 23 NH runs. In first-time tongue tie, back on track when runner-up in handicap chase at Market Rasen in August, but not in the same form both starts since. Best watched back over hurdles.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (80/1 -264%) High Yield
80/1(-264%)
(8) High Yield 80/1, Didn't show much in 3 bumpers and has shaped like a stayer in his qualifying runs over hurdles, including when fourth of 6 on stable debut at Wetherby (19.7f) last month. Now upped in trip for handicap debut, but others make more appeal.
LTO Selection:

9/1(-170%)
(1) Green Glory 9/1, Promising individual. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 9/2, respectable fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Should have more to offer.
6th
6th (9) (6/1 +33%) Ik's Man
6/1(+33%)
(9) Ik's Man 6/1, Winning pointer who posted encouraging third of 10 in bumper (6/1) at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Merits consideration on hurdles debut.

(7) Songbird's Tale 10/1, Off the mark at Hexham in March and has resumed in good nick, not ideally placed when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f) 13 days ago. 8 lb "wrong" in the weights here, however.
(2) Thomas Mor 2/1, Off the mark in Irish points at the fifth attempt and followed up in an 8-runner 23f novice hurdle at Worcester on Rules debut. Open to improvement and makes plenty of appeal despite the penalty.

4.5/1(+18%)
(7) Ballintogher Boy 4.5/1, Confirmed previous promise when off the mark in handicap at this C&D in March. Not in the same form next time, but better than ever when runner-up at Sedgefield (26.9f) on return. Can give another good account.

(9) Hidden Cargo 40/1, Finally got off the mark in 6-runner handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f) in March, but hasn't been in the same form since. Back down to his winning mark, though still looks to be up against it here.

(1) Coastguard Station 2.5/1, Looked to be going the right way over hurdles when scoring at Southwell in April but disappointing at odds-on at Southwell next time. Shaped as if retaining all his ability after 6 months off at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. Should make a chaser (dual winning pointer).
1
1st (2) (1.1/1 +63%) Heritier
1.1/1(+63%)
(2) Heritier 1.1/1, Bolted up on chase debut over C&D in March and back to winning ways at Kelso last month, experience and race fitness probably counting for a fair bit. Should go well again.

2nd (3) (1.5/1 +40%) Bempton Cliffs
1.5/1(+40%)
(3) Bempton Cliffs 1.5/1, All the better for chase debut when winning over C&D and Warwick in the spring. Back on the up when resuming winning ways at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago and should make another bold bid from the front.

4/1(+56%)
(4) Heart Of A Lion 4/1, Off the mark over fences at first attempt in 2m Ludlow novice handicap a year ago. However, he's not built on that (reportedly bled final start last season, ran in void race Oct 25). Plenty to prove.

2/1(-6%)
(9) Rosy Redrum 2/1, Followed a successful start with a good second in a listed bumper at Newbury in February. Never a threat in Grade 2 at Aintree next time but probably would have defied a penalty with a clear run at Newton Abbot since. Off 6 months/had breathing op. Leading claims on hurdles debut.

2.25/1(+40%)

5.5/1(+45%)
(3) Limerick Leader 5.5/1, Stepped up on reappearance when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Possibilities from this mark and won over this trip last term, though probability remains he'll prove best over further.

9/1(+55%)
(13) My Macho Man 9/1, Yet to win in this sphere though ran better than for a while when third of 10 in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 15 days ago. Still, needs more on first run for yard after leaving Maurice Barnes.

(4) Rory And Me 16/1, Finally got off the mark over hurdles in 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen (18.6f) in June. Shaped as if needing run on handicap debut last time but some improvement probably required here.

8/1(-60%)
(6) Jet Legs 8/1, 15/2, respectable fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 56 days ago, though didn't look particularly suited by drop in trip. Interesting that connections stick to this distance for handicap debut.

(12) Mactavish 28/1, Ran best race when second in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last month. Got away with mistakes on that occasion and wasn't so lucky when unseating at the final flight there last time (may have been placed again). This contest is deeper.

16/1(+52%)

(8) East Street 2.75/1, Made winning debut in 2m Wetherby novice and has been generally progressive since, doubling his tally at Hexham in March. Type to make a better chaser, so merits respect on return.

4.5/1(-13%)
(5) Gloire D'athon 4.5/1, Fair hurdler who upped his game returned to chasing last season, completing a double with a fluent display of jumping at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Solid claims with fitness and experience of fences a big plus.

(7) Benny's Oscar 8.5/1, Point winner at fourth attempt in December and made a successful transition to hurdling at Warwick in February 2021. Creditable effort next time and not discounted on chasing debut for all he has a 20-month absence to overcome.

(2) Kakamora 2.75/1, Back-to-back hurdles winner early last year but unable to add to tally over fences since. Been given a chance by the handicapper, though, and likely better for recent Bangor return.
(5) (5/1 -43%) Forget You Not
5/1(-43%)
(5) Forget You Not 5/1, Course winner who got back on scoreboard in 7-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, good) 30 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and should go well again.

7/1(-17%)
(4) Furkash 7/1, Won a Fontwell novice hurdle (17.7f) back in November 2020 but has failed to match that level since. In the process of running well on Stratford return, before unseating late on, but that's his third non-completion from 5 starts in this sphere. Cheekpieces now tried.
(3) (20/1 -67%) Ahead Of The Field
20/1(-67%)
(3) Ahead Of The Field 20/1, Fair hurdle winner in Ireland who struck over fences for present yard at Southwell (20.5f) last December. Inconsistent since, taking little interest on Warwick reappearance and pushed along when brought down at Stratford latest.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Geryville 1.5/1, Belied odds of 40/1 to make winning start for this yard at Wetherby (19.4f) 12 months ago and largely performed well thereafter, including scoring here (23.4f) in March. Respectable third at Wetherby on return and likely contender.
(3) (3/1 -20%) Hidden Commander
3/1(-20%)
(3) Hidden Commander 3/1, Made a very good start over fences for this yard in the spring, winning 3 times. Back on the upgrade when narrow winner over C&D last week, clear of rest, and needs considering under a penalty.
(6) (3.33/1 +5%) Rowdy Rustler
3.33/1(+5%)
(6) Rowdy Rustler 3.33/1, Irish point winner. Fair form in maiden hurdles last season, off the mark here over this trip final start. Type to make a better chaser so respected. Has had a breathing operation.
(5) (6.5/1 -63%) The Paddy Pie
6.5/1(-63%)
(5) The Paddy Pie 6.5/1, Some respectable efforts last season and should come on for return but he last tasted success in March 2020 and his stable has yet to really get going. Others are preferred.
(1) (18/1 -50%) Slanelough
18/1(-50%)
(1) Slanelough 18/1, Resumed winning ways in a match here (2m) in March but poor next 2 starts 7 months apart, albeit shaping as if needing the run 19 days ago.
(4) (18/1 -29%) Da Vinci Hand
18/1(-29%)
(4) Da Vinci Hand 18/1, In fine form at Catterick last season, winning twice around 2m. Ran as if amiss (bled) at Carlisle on final start. Will need a career best if he's to defy this mark on reappearance.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Blue Lord 0.83/1, High-class chaser. Won 6-runner Barberstown Castle Novices' Chase (Colliers) (2/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) by head from Coeur Sublime, just holding on. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Can make a successful return.

4.5/1(+0%)
(1) Tornado Flyer 4.5/1, Ran the race of his life when proving 9 lengths too strong for Clan des Obeaux in King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Well held in Cheltenham/Punchestown Gold Cup and back over hurdles in France since, though.

8/1(-60%)
(4) Pencilfulloflead 8/1, Winning hurdler in 2019-20 and better form over fences following season, scoring in a Grade 2 at Punchestown. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fell in graduation chase (9/4) at Ascot on return last year (only start). Remains capable of better still despite another lengthy absence.
(6) Bridge North 1.15/1, Found improvement when making all at Bangor (19.6f) in March and backed that up with creditable fifth in Sefton Novices' Hurdle (24.7f) at Aintree the following month. Solid fifth at same course on return last month and step back up in trip very much in his favour.
(5) (3/1 +10%) Pounding Poet
3/1(+10%)
(5) Pounding Poet 3/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 4-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft, 15/8) 34 days ago, cosily. 3 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist.

(3) (16/1 +0%) Stoner's Choice
16/1(+0%)
(3) Stoner's Choice 16/1, Useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences in a match race at Kempton (20.5f) in May but has been let down by his jumping in that sphere twice since. Fairly treated on return to smaller obstacles and not ruled out.
(2) (20/1 -11%) Fidux
20/1(-11%)
(2) Fidux 20/1, Largely acquitted himself well over fences last term, including when fourth in the Scottish National in April. Not seen over hurdles since 2019 and market may prove best guide to expectations on return.
(9) Getaway Cory 2.75/1, Ran respectably when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 5 days ago but remains a long-standing maiden and will likely find 1 or 2 too good again here.
(2) (3.5/1 -56%) Killybegs Junior
3.5/1(-56%)
(2) Killybegs Junior 3.5/1, Lightly raced and modest form at best in Ireland but won a couple of points since and made encouraging start for new yard when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 28 days ago. Entitled to build on that.
(5) (7/1 +68%) Ranco
7/1(+68%)
(5) Ranco 7/1, Out of sorts for David Pipe to end 2021 but capitalised on a falling mark for new yard at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in July. Largely acquitted himself well in defeat since and should give another good account here.
(4) (8/1 +6%) No No Tonic
8/1(+6%)
(4) No No Tonic 8/1, Course winner who posted another creditable effort when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Looks worth another try at this longer trip.
(8) (9/1 -6%) Mac Be Lucky
9/1(-6%)
(8) Mac Be Lucky 9/1, Opened account in Sedgefield handicap (16.8f) in May and far from disgraced when fourth of 8 in follow-up bid at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 23 day later. Remains low mileage and returns on a workable mark.
(3) (10/1 -54%) Gata Ban
10/1(-54%)
(3) Gata Ban 10/1, Made the frame both starts thus far, latest when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 3/1) in June. Return to longer trip will suit and enters calculations on handicap debut.

12/1(-9%)
(7) Alramz 12/1, Acquitted himself well again when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 29 days ago. Likely to make presence felt once more but others more appealing for win purposes.
(6) (14/1 +30%) West Orchard
14/1(+30%)
(6) West Orchard 14/1, Yet to really threaten in sole bumper start or over hurdles and makes limited appeal despite falling handicap mark.
(1) (14/1 -87%) Rock The House
14/1(-87%)
(1) Rock The House 14/1, Successful twice in handicaps in 2021 for Olly Murphy and back to form on stable debut when runner-up at Hereford (21.7f) last month. Below that level at Huntingdon since, though, and overall profile not convincing.

(2) Kankin 2.75/1, Archipenko gelding. Showed plenty of ability when second in a 9-runner C&D bumper on debut. However, that was the best part of 2 years ago so the betting may provide a useful guide on belated return.

2.75/1(+50%)
(3) Merrijig 2.75/1, Schiaparelli gelding who has displayed fair form all 3 starts in bumpers to date, well suited by return to a stiffer track when third at Hexham (16.2f) 40 days ago. Fancied to be in the mix once more.

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.
