Races & Results Thursday 5th December 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Homme D'un Soir 5/2, Ran well over hurdles at Warwick and Uttoxeter in the spring and did the same back over fences when third at Southwell (15.8f) when last seen in June. Reverts to hurdling in a refitted tongue strap and ought to be very competitive if ready to roll. Latest hurdle win in 2021; usually in the frame for this yard; off since chase run in June.

2nd (3) (11/4 +0%) Love True
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(3) Love True 11/4, Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 13f in France. Improved on previous efforts in this sphere when third in a novice at Huntingdon in April and shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off on recent handicap debut at Sedgefield. Remains capable of better. Three Flat wins in France; creditable shows on latest 2 hurdle starts; can improve.

3rd (5) (14/1 +44%) Lady Babs
14
14/1(+44%)
(5) Lady Babs 14/1, 3-time winner at Market Rasen but has made no impact both starts back from 23 months off, well beaten when brought down soon after last at Sedgefield latterly. All three wins over C&D; missed last winter; below par since return; due 5lb drop.

4th (4) (5/4 +75%) Dino Bellagio
1.25
5/4(+75%)
(4) Dino Bellagio 5/4, Fairly useful dual bumper winner but yet to get anywhere near that level over hurdles, proving much too free on handicap debut at Carlisle last time. Needs to learn to settle. Dual bumper winner but low key over hurdles, including on recent handicap debut.
5th
2
5th (2) (9/1 -157%) Piecederesistance
9
9/1(-157%)
(2) Piecederesistance 9/1, Fairly useful but ungenuine on Flat (stays 1½m). Has shown fair form over hurdles, including when second in a Fakenham novice in October, but was too free sent handicapping for the first time over jumps at Wetherby. Well treated on Flat form; way back on handicap debut but has much easier task today.
HOMME D'UN SOIR enjoyed a solid beginning to the new season with a string of consistent efforts, the latest seeing him finish third over fences at Southwell in June. In a contest lacking depth, the eight-year-old appears to have a solid opportunity to get his head back in front. Love True is entitled to step forward from her handicap debut when fourth at Sedgefield and is respected along with Piecederesistance.
LOVE TRUE, a fairly useful performer on the Flat, should strip fitter for her recent handicap debut at Sedgefield and gets the nod to open her account in this sphere. Homme d'un Soir was in good form when last seen in the spring and can provide the main threat if picking up where he left off.
Piecederesistance is temptingly treated but preference is for LOVE TRUE who appeals as one with more to come over hurdles.
(7) Sixmilebridge 1/2, £100,000 buy after finishing runner-up completed start in Irish points and readily justified favouritism in Sandown bumper. Found the Champion Bumper too much a month later but lost nothing in defeat when second at Stratford on hurdles bow/return on debut for this yard. Can go one better. Beaten favourite on switch to hurdles at Stratford but still a useful prospect.

8
2nd (8) (17/2 +23%) Sole Solution
8.5
17/2(+23%)
(8) Sole Solution 17/2, Looked a good prospect when winning both starts in bumpers, the latest at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) in January 2023, impressing with how he travelled. Looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Bangor after almost 2 years off, however, jumping badly. Best watched. Should enjoy this softer ground and a longer trip, but he didn't jump well last time.

3rd (6) (28/1 -229%) Royal Rambler
28
28/1(-229%)
(6) Royal Rambler 28/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pimlico Point. Dam (c143/h117), 17f-2¾m winner (including French Group 1 chase), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) Mr Mix. 65,000euros 3yo; 2nd foal; half-brother to point/2m3f hurdle/3m chase winner Pimlico Point.

4th (5) (150/1 -50%) Miami Steve
150
150/1(-50%)
(5) Miami Steve 150/1, Poor form in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle. Minor bumper promise; 40-1 and found little fluency in his jumping when tailed off at Ayr.
5th
4
5th (4) (14/1 -250%) Lawrenny
14
14/1(-250%)
(4) Lawrenny 14/1, Progressive in bumpers, opening his account in 12-runner event (3/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) 9 months ago, staying on to lead post. Interesting hurdling debutant. Responded well to pressure to get up late on in a heavy-ground bumper at Newcastle.
6th
2
6th (2) (15/2 +38%) Got A Dream
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(2) Got A Dream 15/2, Getaway gelding who left debut form behind when landing an 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon. Took another step forward when 8¼ lengths seventh of 18 in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree final start. However, was a remote fourth on hurdles bow at Chepstow on return. Useful in bumpers; didn't get home on hurdling debut after racing keenly.
7th
3
7th (3) (6/1 +50%) Je Viens Du Large
6
6/1(+50%)
(3) Je Viens Du Large 6/1, Easily off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in April but failed by a long chalk to justify support switched to Rules in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle. Fared a lot better when fourth at Leicester but needs to take another big step forward. Encouraging fourth over C&D 17 days ago but he'll need to find extra if he's to win this.

|PU| (1) (16/1 -14%) Dark Mix
16
16/1(-14%)
(1) Dark Mix 16/1, Narrowly prevailed in a 5-runner bumper on debut at Market Rasen a year ago. Struggled at Warwick the following month but that was in a significantly stronger race (also wasn't helped by taking a circuitous route). Shaped as if needing run when fifth on hurdles bow at former track on return. Pulled hard latest and will need to give himself a chance to stay this longer trip.
9
9
|PU| (9) (33/1 -136%) Tintagel Queen
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Tintagel Queen 33/1, Went close in a Chepstow bumper and made a promising start over hurdles when third at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft). Not disgraced after almost a year off at Stratford 5 weeks ago but she needs to leave that well behind. Either needed the race or didn't stay 2m6f when a weakener at Stratford last month.
A promising second on his debut over hurdles for new connections at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE is entitled to improve plenty on that effort and, as a former point-to-pointer, the step up in trip is likely to suit. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Newcastle bumper winner Lawrenny and Je Viens Du Large, who wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D last month. Sole Solution and Tintagel Queen are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
SIXMILEBRIDGE made a promising start over hurdles when second at Stratford on return and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better with the longer trip sure to suit. Lawrenny was progressive in bumpers so may emerge as the biggest threat.
Despite failing favourite backers on his hurdling debut at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE remains a good prospect.
12:25 Leicester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(5) No No Tango 1/1, Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles but just a respectable fourth at Hereford in November 2023, which turned out to be his sole appearance of last season. Since switched yards and, with the booking of Patrick Mullins a big plus point, he's one to monitor closely in the betting. Returns from absence but Patrick Mullins is a very good booking on stable debut.
2
1
2nd (1) (10/3 +26%) Hunter Legend
3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(1) Hunter Legend 10/3, Half-brother to yard's very smart chaser Cepage and signed off last season by winning heavy-ground Lingfield and Bangor handicaps. Clearly wasn't 100% on return at Aintree (15.8f, good) but likely to be more of a force here with that run under his belt. Rain would be welcomed. May have needed last month's comeback run, when bidding for hat-trick; retains potential.
3
2
3rd (2) (11/2 -22%) Planned Paradise
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(2) Planned Paradise 11/2, Perth winner in July and posted best effort since when third of 11 in a stronger handicap than this at Cheltenham (25f, good) where, for the first time in a while he kept the mistakes to a minimum. Drop back in trip won't be an issue and solid chance if again fluent in the jumping department. Good third at Cheltenham latest; drops back down in grade and he's one to be interested in.
4
7
4th (7) (8/1 +11%) Begin The Luck
8
8/1(+11%)
(7) Begin The Luck 8/1, Deservedly got his head back in front when capitalising on a lower hurdles mark at Stratford (18.7f, heavy) in October. Decent third returned to this sphere at Southwell next time and this consistent 8-y-o should make his presence felt once more. Cheekpieces refitted. Won over hurdles in October and fair third back chasing since; might not be far away.
5th
6
5th (6) (14/1 +58%) King Of Brazil
14
14/1(+58%)
(6) King Of Brazil 14/1, A fair hurdler/chaser who twice over fences last season. However, it's been an inauspicious start to the present campaign and he's probably best watched for now. Hasn't shone this autumn but drops back in trip today and is not written off.
6th
3
6th (3) (14/1 -180%) Climbing
14
14/1(-180%)
(3) Climbing 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler who took a step firmly back in the right direction when opening chase account at the fourth attempt at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) last month. However, a clear personal-best will be needed up 7 lb in this better race. Won at Kempton last month and this lightly raced 6yo is open to further improvement.
CLIMBING was having only his fourth outing over fences when landing a novices' handicap at Kempton in good style. He looks to have more to offer over the larger obstacles and is taken to defy a 7lb rise with Will Biddick doing the steering. Planned Paradise overcame a stumble at the last fence to finish a creditable third in an amateurs' race at Cheltenham and drops in distance with every chance. Hunter Legend will likely be sharper for last month's reappearance at Aintree and is another to note.
Granted another assured round of jumping, PLANNED PARADISE could be the answer to this trappy-looking handicap chase. He was a good third off this mark in a higher-grade contest at Cheltenham last time and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. No No Tango has been absent for over a year but resumes with his new yard in good form and the booking of Patrick Mullins adds to his appeal. Hunter Legend is third choice ahead of Slievegar.
Top Irish amateur Patrick Mullins rides NO NO TANGO, who is on a handy mark on his best hurdle form and gets the nod.
(4) Viyanni 5/6, Fair form on Flat, improved when scoring on handicap debut at Bellewstown (14.5f, good) in July. Has since left John Patrick Murtagh and gelded and must be considered on hurdles bow having joined a top yard. Tongue tie applied. Off the mark at Bellewstown in July; interesting hurdling debutant for good yard.
2
2
2nd (2) (11/2 -22%) Narragansett
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(2) Narragansett 11/2, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland (stays 1¼m), successful on final start for A. Slattery at the Curragh (10f) in September. Below best faced with more testing conditions at Nottingham 4 weeks ago but worthy of note if strong in betting now attentions switch to timber. A fair 1m2f ex-Irish Flat winner this autumn; possibilities now going hurdling.

1
3rd (1) (2/1 +20%) Play Pretend
2
2/1(+20%)
(1) Play Pretend 2/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdles debut over C&D in June. Fair effort when third at Wetherby (2m) in October but found the step up to listed company beyond him back at that venue 5 weeks ago. This less demanding in a first-time hood at least. C&D winner; well-held fifth in Wetherby Listed event last month; more needed in a hood.
4
3
4th (3) (100/1 -257%) Ramaah
100
100/1(-257%)
(3) Ramaah 100/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful at Chelmsford (13.3f) in August. Raced freely and weakened out of things starting out for new yard when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Looks best watched. Fourth on hurdling debut in Huntingdon maiden last month; he needs to take a step forward.
5

|PU| (5) (16/1 -167%) Little Lady Lucy
16
16/1(-167%)
(5) Little Lady Lucy 16/1, Fair on Flat (should stay at least 11f), successful penultimate start but below form on final start for Joseph O'Brien at Gowran (11.8f) 45 days ago. Market can guide now hurdling with her yard also saddling Narragansett. A fair ex-Irish 1m3f winner; much respected starting out in this sphere for new handler.
Play Pretend returns to the scene of his debut success and the application of a first-time hood combined with a drop in class is likely to see him in a better light. The vote, though, goes to VIYANNI, a winner at Bellewstown over 1m6f for Johnny Murtagh when last seen in July. The son of Almanzor has since joined Harry Derham and appeals as the type to do well in this discipline. Narragansett completes the shortlist.
VIYANNI signed off for Johnny Murtagh with a career-best display at Bellewstown in July and, now sent hurdling, he's fancied to make an immediate impact for his new yard before the benefit of market clues. C&D winner Play Pretend has the benefit of plenty of experience in this sphere and is feared ahead of Little Lady Lucy.
Harry Derham took this last season and his hurdling debutant VIYANNI brings a fair bit of potential so is taken to make a winning start
(3) Catch Catchfire 18/1, Well held so far over hurdles but switches to chasing with cheekpieces fitted and he's bred to do better, so worth a market check. Beaten a long way in his three maiden hurdles at about 2m3f; chase/handicap debut.
2
7
2nd (7) (7/2 +59%) Everyonesacritic
3.5
7/2(+59%)
(7) Everyonesacritic 7/2, Made a successful handicap debut over hurdles with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in February. Yet to fire over fences but didn't have a hard race last time and goes back up in trip. Ran okay over 2m at Ludlow latest and entitled to leave that form behind.
3
6
3rd (6) (11/1 +56%) Ronnies Reflection
11
11/1(+56%)
(6) Ronnies Reflection 11/1, Little to shout about in his qualifying runs and pulled up on handicap debut 7 months ago. Switches to chasing with something to prove. Not shown a lot and makes chasing debut following further wind surgery.
4
5
4th (5) (15/2 -125%) Williamdeconqueror
7.5
15/2(-125%)
(5) Williamdeconqueror 15/2, Creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy, 7/2). Off 9 months. Consistent last season and returns in a winnable affair, so makes most appeal. Placed form over fences; may prefer further ideally and others might be fitter.
5th
4
5th (4) (11/2 +0%) Shesupincourt
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(4) Shesupincourt 11/2, Unreliable sort but not disgraced when third of 8 to Northern Reel in handicap chase over C&D 17 days ago. Could be on the premises again. Third over C&D 17 days ago and this softer surface should be favourable.
6th
2
6th (2) (5/1 -67%) Jikala
5
5/1(-67%)
(2) Jikala 5/1, French import who made it third time lucky for present connections when making all in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f, good to soft) in March 2023. Not disgraced next time and built for chasing, so intriguing runner for all that she's been off 19 months. Still lightly raced, in good hands and there are chasers in the family.
8
8
|PU| (8) (4/1 +71%) Harkangel
4
4/1(+71%)
(8) Harkangel 4/1, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap after 12 weeks off at Taunton (3m, good) in April. Back on track to some extent when fourth over C&D on chasing debut and could build on that. Struggles continued on chase debut latest and soft ground might not be what she wants.
1
1
|PU| (1) (11/2 -22%) Pearl Island
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(1) Pearl Island 11/2, Steady improver over hurdles, running well when third at Ludlow 42 days ago. Starts out over fences in a thin race and looks a definite player if taking to it. Horses from this yard can make better chasers and pedigree bodes well in that respect.
A tad unlucky not to get his head in front last season, WILLIAMDECONQUEROR looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his first run since February, and soft ground should play to his strengths. A relatively promising third over C&D last month, Shesupincourt is capable of building on that effort, while Pearl Island is interesting on his chase debut for the in-form Henry Daly team.
WILLIAMDECONQUEROR held his form well last season and has been found a good opening to make his reappearance, so he's the one to beat if fully tuned up. Pearl Island and Jikala are both noteworthy chasing debutants.
The 5yo EVERYONESACRITIC ran pretty well at Ludlow last time as 2m on good ground wouldn't be what he wants.
(14) Star Walking 8/11, Successful sole outing in points before landing the odds in a Fakenham bumper. After 7 months off, shaped well when runner-up in maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow in November, rallying final 1f. Leading contender up in trip. Point/bumper winner for whom the step up in trip looks a good move on second hurdle start.
2
6
2nd (6) (10/1 +38%) Game Colours
10
10/1(+38%)
(6) Game Colours 10/1, Four months on from hurdling debut (had a wind op), left that run behind when third in a Doncaster novice (19.4f, heavy) in March. Got closer again when runner-up in maiden at Stratford (22f. good to soft) on return, so she could be in the mix once more. Placed the last twice and her yard is in excellent form; respected.
3
11
3rd (11) (16/1 -129%) Realta Liath
16
16/1(-129%)
(11) Realta Liath 16/1, Purchased for £100,000 after winning sole Irish point and ran to a fair level both starts in bumpers last season. Runner-up at Ascot in May, with the winner successful over hurdles next time, so she's one to consider as she goes hurdling herself. Point winner & bumper runner-up for whom the step up in trip is a likely plus now hurdling.
4
7
4th (7) (80/1 -142%) Honeywort
80
80/1(-142%)
(7) Honeywort 80/1, Runner-up in an Irish point but below expectations on bumper debut in April. After 6 months off, possibly needed the run sent hurdling when seventh of 11 in maiden at Stratford (22f, good to soft) in October, though it was a weak finish. Has something to find. Runner-up in a point in January but merely seventh on her first two rules starts.
5th
2
5th (2) (11/2 +21%) Betty's Tiara
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(2) Betty's Tiara 11/2, Bumper winner on debut and promising second at Hereford (21.7f, soft) on hurdles bow in January. Bounced back from a lesser effort when again finishing runner-up at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) in March, so she enters calculations on her return. Bumper winner who has twice finished 2nd over hurdles; Callum Pritchard removes useful 7lb.
6th
13
6th (13) (28/1 -40%) Springtime Legend
28
28/1(-40%)
(13) Springtime Legend 28/1, Shaped with some encouragement both starts in bumpers, showing better form than on debut when fifth of 12 at Aintree (17f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Task is now to build on those efforts as she goes up in trip for hurdling debut. Fair effort in both bumpers and open to improvement now upped in trip over hurdles.
7th
8
7th (8) (11/2 -10%) Lady D'arbanville
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(8) Lady D'arbanville 11/2, After 19 months off, looked potentially useful when winning bumper at Plumpton and made solid start to hurdling career when second at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) in January. Disappointing at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) when last seen in April, but it remains early days for her. Bumper winner who was second on hurdle debut; leading claims if rediscovering that form.
8th
9
8th (9) (200/1 -506%) Lusso Milan
200
200/1(-506%)
(9) Lusso Milan 200/1, Encouraging start when runner-up in bumper at Plumpton a year ago, though went backwards from that effort next time and well held on seasonal/hurdling debut at Exeter (18.5f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. She displayed ability in bumpers but was tailed off on last month's hurdle debut.
9th
12
9th (12) (40/1 -100%) Remember Moi
40
40/1(-100%)
(12) Remember Moi 40/1, Modest form when placed on second of 3 starts in bumpers and, after 3 months off, ran to similar level when second of 5 in novice at this C&D (good to soft) on hurdling debut 2 weeks ago. Needs to take a step forward. Has displayed some ability, including over C&D, but not enough to suggest she'll win this.
10th
10
10th (10) (100/1 -203%) Oneandahalfdegrees
100
100/1(-203%)
(10) Oneandahalfdegrees 100/1, Modest form in 2 bumpers 7 months apart but was never a threat on hurdling debut when sixth of 12 in maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. May be one for further down the line making return from 11 months off. Encouraging sixth on second bumper start but well beaten on sole run over hurdles.
11th
5
11th (5) (300/1 -355%) Frenelope
300
300/1(-355%)
(5) Frenelope 300/1, €50,000 3-y-o but offered little on her belated debut when tailed-off fourteenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at this course (15.2f, good) in October. Major improvement required as she goes up in trip. Tailed off at 25-1 on her debut here in October.
12th
4
12th (4) (300/1 -200%) Damekap
300
300/1(-200%)
(4) Damekap 300/1, Placed on only start in points but went with little promise when ninth of 11 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) on Rules debut in May. Needs to leave that effort well behind as she goes hurdling after 6 months off. British maiden point runner-up but well beaten in Newton Abbot bumper in May.

|PU| (3) (22/1 -10%) Chesky's In Milan
22
22/1(-10%)
(3) Chesky's In Milan 22/1, Didn't offer much in 2 bumpers for Milton Harris but was much improved after 14 months off when third of 6 at Hereford (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Watch for market clues with yard going well ahead of her hurdles debut. Third in final bumper; dam won over 2m3f/2m4f; not ruled out now up in trip over hurdles.
The winner of a point-to-point and bumper, STAR WALKING made a respectable debut over hurdles on her return to action when beaten only a length at Uttoxeter. Harry Fry's inmate looks up to winning at this level on that evidence and makes more appeal than Game Colours, who found one too good at Stratford last time and should be thereabouts once again. The returning Betty's Tiara has a shout on last season's placed efforts and is not easily dismissed.
STAR WALKING has made a promising start to her Rules career, finishing strongly for second at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut last month, so she is taken to go one better with improvement to come upped in trip. Betty's Tiara finished runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles earlier this year and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Lady d'Arbanville.
Point and bumper winner STAR WALKING goes up in trip on this second hurdle start and it could be just what she needs.
13:05 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) It's Hard To Know 10/11, Won sole start in Irish points (Feb 2024) and justified support to make a winning hurdles debut in novice at Lingfield (19.5f) 23 days ago, jumping fluently on the whole and finding extra. Looks sure to progress. Won sole Irish point; scopey sort who made winning hurdle debut (2m3f); every chance.
2
5
2nd (5) (9/4 +44%) Tamarind Bay
2.25
9/4(+44%)
(5) Tamarind Bay 9/4, Showed fair form on 2 of his 3 outings in bumpers and made an encouraging switch to hurdling when fourth in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f) 37 days ago, outpaced approaching 2 out before plugging on again flat. Open to improvement, particularly when tackling longer trips. Close up in two bumpers; highly tried on hurdle debut but made a promising start.
3
2
3rd (2) (2/1 -33%) Sunray Shadow
2
2/1(-33%)
(2) Sunray Shadow 2/1, Warwick bumper winner in May who confirmed promise of his hurdles debut third at that venue when landing 7-runner novice hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft, 11/10) 39 days ago, asserting gradually and looking value for extra. Considered with prospect of more to come. Bumper winner who appreciated the step up to 2m4f on second hurdle run; improve further.
4
4
4th (4) (50/1 +0%) Monsieur Le Fuzz
50
50/1(+0%)
(4) Monsieur Le Fuzz 50/1, Saint Des Saints gelding. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 25) but probably needed the run when ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 42 days ago. This should reveal more but he may well be one for the longer-term. Some promise in Irish points but he didn't feature on hurdle debut for new yard.
5th
6
5th (6) (66/1 +0%) Mobile Mamma
66
66/1(+0%)
(6) Mobile Mamma 66/1, £32,000 purchase having got off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in April but she offered little on her Rules debut when last of 5 in novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) on NH debut 70 days ago. Minor Irish point winner; finished remote on hurdle debut; handicaps more likely.

|PU| (3) (50/1 -150%) Jungle Wood
50
50/1(-150%)
(3) Jungle Wood 50/1, €50,000 Cokoriko gelding who is in excellent hands but he offered little only start in bumpers and similar story after 12 months off when last of 4 in novice hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 46 days ago. Best watched. Beaten over 30l in two starts, a bumper and a Kempton novice hurdle (2m5f).
SUNRAY SHADOW still looked a work in progress when getting off the mark over timber at Aintree in October and the son of Blue Bresil is expected to have a fair amount of improvement to come, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. It's Hard To Know also gives weight to all bar the selection after winning at Lingfield on his Rules debut and is likely to benefit from going right-handed based on the manner of his jumping on that occasion. Tamarind Bay wasn't disgraced when fourth to The New Lion at Chepstow and the extra couple of furlongs should be right up his street.
SUNRAY SHADOW confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut effort when scoring at Aintree 39 days ago and, appealing as the type to go on improving, he's narrowly selected to follow-up ahead of fellow penalised and good prospect It's Hard To Know. Tamarind Bay is another open to improvement.
Little to choose between IT'S HARD TO KNOW and Sunray Shadow on the limited evidence and preference for the former is only slight.
(5) Authodidacte 11/2, Fairly useful Flat winner on the Flat in France. 12/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Clairefontaine (11.9f, good). Off 13 months. First run for yard after leaving P. & J. Brandt. Notable hurdling newcomer for excellent yard. Bought for 33,000euros after an eight-race Flat career in France that yielded two wins.

2nd (2) (4/5 +51%) Carismatic Soldier
0.8
4/5(+51%)
(2) Carismatic Soldier 4/5, Related to a hurdling winner and there was a good deal of promise in his second in a Huntingdon bumper 9 months ago. Looks the type to better that in this sphere, so strong claims. Clear second when chasing home a good horse in his only bumper (on soft).

3rd (4) (9/2 +25%) Malinificent
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Malinificent 9/2, £52,000 4-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam, unraced, half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Bob Mahler. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 5). Second in an Irish point and the winner went for £400,000 at the sales.

4th (1) (7/2 -100%) Inside Man
3.5
7/2(-100%)
(1) Inside Man 7/2, Positive start in juvenile hurdles last season and firmly back on track when scoring with something in hand in novice at Exeter 17 days ago. Gives weight away all round but he's a strong player in first-time hood. Beat the favourite at Exeter last time but a double penalty might leave him vulnerable.
5th

5th (3) (66/1 -371%) Directly
66
66/1(-371%)
(3) Directly 66/1, Telescope half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cultram Abbey. Something to work on when fourth in a Wincanton bumper and can't be ruled out. Questionable what he achieved when fourth of eight in a Worcester bumper.
6th
6
6th (6) (200/1 -100%) Dartmouth Rose
200
200/1(-100%)
(6) Dartmouth Rose 200/1, Best effort in bumpers in May when third at Market Rasen, albeit possibly flattered after being well positioned. Down the field last time and probably up against it on hurdling debut. Not strong form when third in a Market Rasen bumper and was tailed off at Warwick.
INSIDE MAN arrives on the back of a taking success at Exeter and there is likely to be plenty more to come from the four-year-old, despite having to carry a 10lb penalty. Carismatic Soldier showed up well when second on his debut in a Huntingdon bumper in March and he must enter calculations, along with French import Authodidacte and Malinificent, who is related to the stable's smart staying chaser Bob Mahler.
CARISMATIC SOLDIER ran well on debut in a bumper 9 months ago and is the sort to take to hurdling, so he's narrowly preferred to recent Exeter winner Inside Man. Auithodidacte is another interesting hurdling newcomer based on Flat form.
This may go to CARISMATIC SOLDIER who ran well behind a respected rival in his only bumper and his yard is going great guns.
13:25 Leicester Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(12) Jongleur D'etoiles 14/1, Little form of worth, looking less than keen despite the application of cheekpieces when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Kempton last month was a step in the right direction but he needs another today.

(1) Keable 13/2, Yet to make a major impact in handicaps to date, albeit shaping as if in need of run when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, good, 7/1) 23 days ago. Could do better here. Yet to threaten in handicaps but shaped last time as though he may improve for the run.

3rd (3) (4/1 +27%) Sparkling Duke
4
4/1(+27%)
(3) Sparkling Duke 4/1, Best effort in handicaps when fourth of 18 at Chepstow (19.5f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs to show he can back that up now. Rallied for promising fourth over 2m3f at Chepstow; a staying trip could prove ideal.

12/1(0%)
(8) Ann D'arabie 12/1, Considerately handled in novice hurdles last winter but didn't appear to see the trip out stepped up to this sort of distance at Ludlow in October. Others preferred. Soundly beaten thus far but in good hands and may take sizeable step forward at some stage.
5th

5th (5) (7/1 +13%) Lucky Rose
7
7/1(+13%)
(5) Lucky Rose 7/1, Made the placings on her first 3 starts in handicaps and shaped as if still in form when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good) 32 days ago. Not taken lightly. Below best last time but prior to that she was a fair second in her first two handicaps.
6th

6th (10) (28/1 +15%) African Lady
28
28/1(+15%)
(10) African Lady 28/1, Modest maiden who has made little impact for current yard, held when taking a late fall here at fortnight ago. Mark continues to fall but last month's evidence suggests it's best to look elsewhere.
7th

7th (11) (2/1 +80%) Supreme Commander
2
2/1(+80%)
(11) Supreme Commander 2/1, Bought for plenty of money after finishing second in an Irish point but no impact as yet under Rules. Makes handicap debut after 10 months off. Has shown little under rules but this point runner-up goes handicapping off basement mark.

12/1(-167%)
(4) Miss Hunky Dory 12/1, Suited by the step up in trip after a wind-op when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f, heavy, 22/1) 15 days ago. Player over further still. Third on recent reappearance at Ffos Las and could have more to offer for in-form yard.

20/1(-11%)
(7) Dom Bosco 20/1, Well beaten on return from 17 months off at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces now go on. On a much-reduced mark but pulled up at Ludlow in October following a long absence.

50
50/1(-400%)
(2) Jimmyjeroo 50/1, Probably flattered in when fourth of 8 in a falsely-run novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 18 days ago, so needs to prove he can back that up now handicapping. Takes marked step up in trip on h'cap debut; watch betting, but not obviously well treated.
THE DARK EDGE arrives in fine fettle and found only the progressive Magical Arthur too good at Kempton. The five-year-old gets another chance, with the application of cheekpieces bringing the promise of further improvement. Miss Hunky Dory posted a better effort when third at Ffos Las on her first start after a wind operation and can have a say in the outcome, while Lucky Rose finished runner-up at Fontwell in September and is not out of it on that form.
MISS HUNKY DORY seemed well suited by the step up in trip when third in a heavy-ground contest at Ffos Las 2 weeks ago and she's fancied to get off the mark tackling further still. The Dark Edge and Lucky Rose also arrive in good heart and rate as the chief threats.
Having finished strongly when fourth over 2m3f at Chepstow last month, SPARKLING DUKE (nap) can get off the mark now back up in trip.
(4) Ithaka 10/1, Slipping in the weights and took a further step back in the right direction when third of 9 in handicap hurdle (33/1) over C&D (good) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Placed over C&D latest and he's not ruled out for yard that won this in 2020 and 2021.

4/1(-60%)
(1) Entity Of Substanz 4/1, Lightly-raced sort in a top yard but failed to meet expectations when only fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft, 5/4) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Unexposed 5yo who looks a possible improver upped in trip with headgear added; dangerous.

3rd (6) (8/11 +68%) Getaway With You
0.727273
8/11(+68%)
(6) Getaway With You 8/11, Still to win but he has taken his form up a notch for his current yard, finishing a good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, good to soft) last week, typically travelling smoothly. Blinkers back on and should go well again. Went very close at Lingfield (2m7f) last week and he's 5lb well in here; strong contender.

4th (3) (6/1 -9%) Bennettsbridge
6
6/1(-9%)
(3) Bennettsbridge 6/1, Placed both completed starts in points but ran to just a poor level when making the frame in a maiden/novice last winter. Improvement needed making an early switch to handicaps after 10 months off. Handicap newcomer but he needs a transformation upped in trip after a lengthy absence.
8

|PU| (8) (12/1 -41%) Walk My Way
12
12/1(-41%)
(8) Walk My Way 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules who should have won when second in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) in March, in lead when losing momentum last. Good chance of going one better if resuming in similar form. Runner-up at Hexham latest but has stamina to prove at this new trip after 258 days off.

|PU| (2) (18/1 -64%) Lady Mendoza
18
18/1(-64%)
(2) Lady Mendoza 18/1, Has made impact in 3 handicap chases but can't be completely dismissed returned to this sphere given she's run well from slightly higher marks in the past. Point winner but she's 0-12 under rules and others are preferred.
5

|PU| (5) (33/1 +18%) Stonegate
33
33/1(+18%)
(5) Stonegate 33/1, Down the field in novice/maiden hurdles so needs a step forward now switching to a handicap. Unexposed 5yo but he needs plenty of progress upped in trip on handicap debut.
7
7
|PU| (7) (50/1 +0%) Debacle
50
50/1(+0%)
(7) Debacle 50/1, Winning pointer but little form under Rules, pulling up in handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Has since left Fergal O'Brien and has plenty to prove back over hurdles. 11yo who is 0-12 under rules and was pulled up over fences latest; opposable.
Narrowly denied at Lingfield last time out in a career-best effort, GETAWAY WITH YOU deserves a change in luck and he may get that on this occasion. The six-year-old is narrowly preferred to Walk My Way, who arrives with similar claims on her first run since finishing second at Hexham in March. Entity Of Substanz disappointed when a short-priced favourite at Ayr in October, but he may be able to bounce back on the rise in distance.
GETAWAY WITH YOU went close to opening his account at Lingfield last week and a reproduction of that form may well suffice. Walk My Way would've won but for a late error at Hexham in March and should be on the premises again if returning in similar form, while Ithaka seems to be building back up to something from his slipping mark and is another to consider.
This looks a decent opportunity for GETAWAY WITH YOU, who had a near miss over 2m7f at Lingfield last week and is 5lb well in here.
(2) Trust House 13/2, Fairly useful form on Flat for Ralph Beckett, stays 1½m. Acquired for 58,000 gns by present connections and whilst he's offered only minor promise in trio of quick-fire runs in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months, he appeals as the type to make more of an impact now handicapping. Flat winner; jumps form nothing to get excited about but now enters handicaps.
2
7
2nd (7) (5/2 +44%) Nedzor
2.5
5/2(+44%)
(7) Nedzor 5/2, Runner-up in a point and promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles at around 2m last winter. Will hold more chance now handicapping and interesting if the market spoke in his favour back from 10 months off. Could have a future off this sort of mark in handicaps; market informative.
3
10
3rd (10) (4/1 -14%) Night Jet
4
4/1(-14%)
(10) Night Jet 4/1, Wasn't beaten far when fifth in an 8-runner Ludlow handicap (15.8f, heavy) on final run of last season and would have finished well held before taking a late fall on return at Stratford (16.3f) 7 weeks ago. More needed. Maiden who has had a few chances in handicaps; beaten when falling last time.

4th (9) (7/1 +7%) Mr Zee
7
7/1(+7%)
(9) Mr Zee 7/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Winless to date in this sphere but did produce one of his better recent efforts when fourth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) in October and subsequent Taunton run best overlooked. Can figure from such a lowly mark. Six-time Flat winner; once placed in nine hurdle starts but he's not getting any better.
5th

5th (3) (14/1 +30%) Meraki Mist
14
14/1(+30%)
(3) Meraki Mist 14/1, Down the field in bumpers and similar story in novice/maiden hurdles last season. Goes handicapping now after 8 months off but progress required. Never threatened last season but ran okay behind talented winners in his last two maidens.
6th
5
6th (5) (4/1 +75%) Mount Washington
4
4/1(+75%)
(5) Mount Washington 4/1, Showed a fair level of ability on first of 2 starts in bumpers but mixed record in 5 starts over hurdles to date, including in pair of handicaps. Quickly back down in trip on the back of his latest Ffos Las run, which could help. Hood/tongue tie fitted. Modest profile and handicaps have yet to trigger any improvement; tries headgear.
7th

7th (1) (18/1 -80%) Bredon Hill Dart
18
18/1(-80%)
(1) Bredon Hill Dart 18/1, Never featured in 2 bumpers but some promise in novice/maiden hurdles during second half of last term. Switch to handicaps a plus on return and the betting can prove a useful guide. Always had a lot to find in his novices and the runs weren't devoid of promise.
8th
4
8th (4) (12/1 +52%) That's The Badger
12
12/1(+52%)
(4) That's The Badger 12/1, Fair maiden over hurdles for Henry Daly but didn't convince in 2 starts over fences for that yard during 2021. Pulled up for new yard, following a lengthy absence in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f) 4 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that well behind. Tongue strap on 1st time. Maiden who was returning from a mammoth absence when pulled up back over hurdles.
8
8
|PU| (8) (33/1 +18%) Seahouses
33
33/1(+18%)
(8) Seahouses 33/1, No impact in 3 hurdles last winter. Boasts a fair level of ability on the Flat but easy to back and disappointing switched to handicaps in this sphere when pulled up at Fakenham (20f) 5 weeks ago. 80-1 when pulled up in a Fakenham handicap last time out.
In a moderate event, a chance can be taken on TRUST HOUSE, who won on the Flat and he may be suited by this switch to handicap company. Night Jet could prove to be the main danger based on an encouraging fifth at Ludlow two starts ago, while Mr Zee edges out Nedzor and Mount Washington to be best of the rest.
This looks decidedly trappy but TRUST HOUSE goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark in this sphere judged on his Flat exploits and could be the way to go with the Olly Murphy yard continuing in good order. Mr Zee and Nedzor are others to consider.
The interesting runners are handicap debutants and a chance is taken on NEDZOR who has a nice pedigree.
(8) Golden Move 9/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Richard Fahey. Little better than modest form when third in a pair of maiden hurdles in the spring but appeals as one who could take off in this sphere now handicapping on the back of wind surgery. Beaten favourite on both hurdle runs but has potential off this mark in view of Flat form.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/1 +50%) Jour D'evasion
4
4/1(+50%)
(4) Jour D'evasion 4/1, Fair novice hurdle winner last season and ran with credit when runner-up in a handicap at Sandown last time. Good reason to think he'll be on the premises. Runner-up in handicap at Sandown last month and he's open to further improvement.
3
7
3rd (7) (25/1 +24%) Sergeant
25
25/1(+24%)
(7) Sergeant 25/1, Resumed winning ways in no uncertain terms at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in August but has struggled subsequently and others make more appeal. Comfortable win at Newton Abbot in August but risks attached on subsequent evidence.
4
9
4th (9) (11/1 -22%) Double Dragon
11
11/1(-22%)
(9) Double Dragon 11/1, Stepped up on hurdle debut third when taking a 2m Ffos Las maiden (good) in May. Unexposed now switching to handicap company after a 6-month break. Won a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in May when last seen and that form has worked out well.
5th
6
5th (6) (4/1 +20%) Sunninghill
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Sunninghill 4/1, Fair form when making the frame in AW minor events on Flat in 2022 and showed something to work on each of his three starts over hurdles, notably when third on handicap debut at Exeter (didn't settle) last month. More to come with hood on for the first time. Very lightly raced and was a good second on last month's handicap debut at Exeter.
6th

6th (5) (40/1 -150%) Don Hollow
40
40/1(-150%)
(5) Don Hollow 40/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2022 and made an encouraging return from an 18-month absence when fifth of 11 in 17f Carlisle handicap in October. Went backwards from that at Sandown next time, though. Encouraging return at Carlisle in October; well beaten since but not written off.

|F| (1) (11/2 +31%) Bucephalus
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(1) Bucephalus 11/2, Came good in this sphere when taking a 2m Newbury handicap in March. Solid performances next two starts and likely needed the run on latest Flat outing. Solid claims. Well beaten on the Flat in October after break but in good form over hurdles in the spring.
3
3
|PU| (3) (6/1 -50%) Intrepide Sud
6
6/1(-50%)
(3) Intrepide Sud 6/1, Fair bumper winner who opened his account at the third attempt in this sphere in a 13-runner novice at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago. Had plenty to spare and type to do better still. Won maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time and is in good hands to continue to progress.
2
2
|PU| (2) (18/1 -100%) Pirates' Tale
18
18/1(-100%)
(2) Pirates' Tale 18/1, Off the mark over hurdles in maiden at this course (17f, heavy) in March and improved on that form when placed here and at Newton Abbot in May. However, looks on a stiff mark on his return to action. Creditable second of four in sole handicap; improvement needed but he's unexposed.
PIRATES' TALE wasn't done any favours when carried left on the run-in as he finished second at Newton Abbot in May, and a mark of 114 on his return to handicap company looks workable. A sharp track like this could suit him well and the six-year-old gets the vote ahead of comfortable Uttoxeter winner Intrepide Sud, who is making his handicap bow. Golden Move and Sunninghill have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
GOLDEN MOVE is yet to match his fairly useful Flat form in this sphere but he's in good hands and appeals as the type to find improvement making an early switch to handicaps on the back of 7 months off/wind surgery. Intrepid Sud is also open to improvement and Sunninghill could up his game in a first-time hood, so it looks a competitive affair for the grade.
The Paul Nicholls-trained 4yo GOLDEN MOVE could be on a good mark for this handicap hurdle debut in view of his Flat ability.
(3) Kelce 11/8, Didn't show much over hurdles but has looked a different proposition switched to fences with cheekpieces enlisted the last twice, latterly pulling well clear of the rest when second to a well-treated rival at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Can go one better. Well clear of the rest when runner-up at Hexham latest; up 4lb but big shout.

2nd (6) (4/1 +33%) Felton Bellevue
4
4/1(+33%)
(6) Felton Bellevue 4/1, Generally reliable and gained a deserved first win for over 2 years at Southwell in March. Held form since and should give another good account back to a winning mark. Solid fifth in 3m1f Warwick handicap chase 30 days ago; this C&D winner needs considering.
3
1
3rd (1) (18/1 -227%) Super Citizen
18
18/1(-227%)
(1) Super Citizen 18/1, Best effort for a while when second of 9 in hunter chase at Kelso (26.2f, soft) in May and not disgraced after 6 months off when third at Huntingdon. Place claims. Off six months before a fair third at Huntingdon 23 days ago; can make his presence felt.

7
4th (7) (25/1 +24%) One Fer Mamma
25
25/1(+24%)
(7) One Fer Mamma 25/1, A fair winning hurdler/chaser but below form for current yard. Off 8 months and others preferred despite a sliding mark. Yet to fire for current handler; more is required on his seasonal return.

|PU| (5) (3/1 -20%) Cokytho
3
3/1(-20%)
(5) Cokytho 3/1, Stepped up on reappearance run when finally off the mark in 6-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter when last seen in May, looking suited by the longer trip. Player if ready to go. Belatedly opened his account at Uttoxeter in May; up 6lb so needs to hit ground running.

|PU| (2) (8/1 +68%) Oscar Robertson
8
8/1(+68%)
(2) Oscar Robertson 8/1, Little impact in 6 starts for this yard, including on return. Winless since 2021 and he was pulled up on his return in 3m handicap chase at Bangor.
8
8
|PU| (8) (22/1 -10%) Onenightintown
22
22/1(-10%)
(8) Onenightintown 22/1, Unreliable sort who has yet to fire this term and easy to oppose from out of the handicap. Not one to rely on and he's been well below par in his three runs this term.
9
9
|PU| (9) (66/1 -32%) Captain Copper
66
66/1(-32%)
(9) Captain Copper 66/1, Little form under Rules and miles out of the handicap here. Pulled up over C&D eight days ago; he's 15lb out of the handicap here too.
COKYTHO looked a different proposition stepped up to 3m for the first time at Uttoxeter in May when finally getting off the mark after a string of consistent efforts. Despite a 6lb rise for that success, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Alex Hales' gelding had more to offer given the fact he is unexposed over this distance. Kelce is likely to produce another bold bid from the front, while Super Citizen and Felton Bellevue appear best of the remainder.
KELCE has taken very well to fences the last twice, pulling clear of the rest when beaten only by a course specialist at Hexham last month, and a 4 lb rise may underestimate him. Cokytho looked suited by this longer trip when off the mark at Uttoxeter so rates the main threat if ready to go, with Felton Bellevue another to consider.
This can go the way of KELCE who was clear of the rest when an excellent runner-up at Hexham last time and is weighted to go one better
(1) David's Well 11/8, Improved again when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February. Disappointed on handicap bow at Newbury final start but makes chasing debut/return in a weak-looking race (placed completed start in Irish points). Maiden hurdle winner; bred to make a chaser and probably on a good mark.

2nd (5) (14/1 +58%) My Portia
14

3.5
7/2(+13%)
(4) Johnny Mac 7/2, Completed a hat-trick for his current yard at Leicester in January but yet to fire in 3 runs this term. Needs to take a big step forward. Back on a good mark but needs to leave this season's struggles behind him.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 -129%) Samazul
4
4/1(-129%)
(3) Samazul 4/1, Bumper winner who failed to score over hurdles but has the build for chasing and duly improved when opening account on return/debut over fences at Fontwell. Shaped much better than bare result there 4 weeks ago but folded in alarming fashion after turning for home looking the winner. Down in trip. Successful chase debut and unlikely that he gave his true running back at Fontwell latest.
2
2
|F| (2) (22/1 -214%) Mcgrath From Clune
22
22/1(-214%)
(2) Mcgrath From Clune 22/1, Won chase at Thurles 12 months ago. However, well held last 3 starts and tough to assess at present. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Robert Tyner. Could be a factor off this mark if a change of scenery has done him some good.
SAMAZUL failed to fire on his most recent outing at Fontwell, but that followed a success at the same venue in October. It would be no surprise to see Ben Pauling's gelding bounce back to form given how weak this race appears to be. Johnny Mac was well held when third at Warwick but should not be underestimated, while similar comments apply to My Portia.
DAVID'S WELL failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow when last seen but he was progressive over hurdles prior to that and makes his chase debut in a weak event. Samazul is the obvious threat despite his weak finish at Fontwell last month.
The intriguing runner is DAVID'S WELL who could quite easily outclass his rivals on this switch to fences.
(2) Poppa Poutine 15/2, Previous C&D winner but didn't last quite long enough to encourage making his first start since March 2023 at Kempton (24f, good to soft) in October, making most until 4 out. Dropped 4 lb and this should reveal what ability remains. Well held after a long absence and current wellbeing has to be an issue.

(4) Pachacuti 11/4, C&D winner on final start last season and shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off at Newton Abbot (21f, soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Usual headgear back on and he should be much closer to form back up in distance. Behind Sherborne last time but lacked a run and 2m5f would have been too short.

3rd (6) (10/3 +33%) I See The Sea
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(6) I See The Sea 10/3, Fetched £160,000 after finishing second in Irish point in May. Not yet shone under Rules and unlikely to have improved had he got to the finish on handicap debut at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) when last seen in March. Could prove a different proposition on return now chasing, though. Runner-up in Irish point; positive signs over hurdles and likely to do well over hurdles.

4th (5) (10/3 -48%) Sherborne
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(5) Sherborne 10/3, Won twice over hurdles and confirmed the promise of previous starts in this sphere when striking at this venue on heavy ground last December. Has found just one too good on both starts this season so holds strong claims despite having been nudged up another 2 lb. Stamina concerns over this far, but major player otherwise in current vein of form.

|PU| (1) (5/1 +0%) Striking A Pose
5
5/1(+0%)
(1) Striking A Pose 5/1, Made an encouraging return when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Exeter in October but ran just respectably back over fences back there (24.2f, good) just under 4 weeks ago, gradually outpaced from 4 out having raced prominently. Not discounted down in grade. Better strike-rate over hurdles than fences (1-16) but has a chance off this mark.

|PU| (3) (10/1 -150%) Flowing Cadenza
10
10/1(-150%)
(3) Flowing Cadenza 10/1, Shaped well at Chepstow on yard debut/return in November 2022 and went one better at Hereford the following month. Followed up at Ffos Las in January 2023 and not seen since creditable third at Sandown in March of that year. Yard certainly knows how to get them ready after long absences so fancied. She's back in grade and fitness might not be an issue given her trainer.
SHERBORNE (second) got the better of Pachacuti (fourth) when the pair met over 2m5f at Newton Abbot and, despite a 2lb pull in favour of the latter, Joe Tizzard's eight-year-old is unexposed at this sort of trip and gets the vote to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. This represents an ease in grade for the reappearing Flowing Cadenza and she must enter calculations for the in-form Venetia Williams team.
The Venetia Williams yard has taken it up a notch in recent weeks and FLOWING CADENZA can be the latest returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines to make a winning return at the expense of Sherborne, who is firmly knocking at the door but keeps letting down his supporters (beaten having traded 1.52 in-running or shorter on his last 4 starts). Chasing-debutant I See The Sea rounds off the shortlist.
The Tizzards do well in this race and SHERBORNE should really have won his final start at Newton Abbot.
(6) Caro Des Flos 7/2, Veteran who registered the second leg of a Market Rasen double last winter in this corresponding race. Not disgraced by any means when third here 3 weeks ago and in the mix eased another 1 lb. Took this year ago and teed himself up for a repeat with a solid third here; in the mix.

2nd (1) (33/1 +0%) Ballywood
33
33/1(+0%)
(1) Ballywood 33/1, Useful chaser at his peak for Alan King but well beaten so far over both sets of obstacles for his current yard. A very useful winning chaser for Alan King but he's offered little for his current yard.

3rd (3) (5/6 +49%) Zmiinyi
0.833333
5/6(+49%)
(3) Zmiinyi 5/6, Went close on second of his 2 starts between the flags and bettered hurdles form at the first attempt when second at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago, giving the well-in winner more of a scare than the distance beaten indicates. Makes the most appeal. Promising chasing debut second here three weeks ago; a big player off the same mark.

4th (5) (9/2 +47%) Faitque De L'isle
4.5
9/2(+47%)
(5) Faitque De L'isle 9/2, Has been given a big chance by the handicapper after an underwhelming 2023/24 campaign and shaped as if needing the run after 12 months off (left Michael Scudamore in interim) at Stratford 47 days ago. Not taken lightly. Not disgraced for new yard after year off when sixth at Stratford; can build on that here.
5th

5th (2) (50/1 -52%) Ritson
50
50/1(-52%)
(2) Ritson 50/1, Badly out of sorts over fences since scoring on Boxing Day in 2022 and no signs of a revival starting out for this yard latest. Winless since 2022 and pulled up at Carlisle on his recent yard debut.
6th

6th (4) (17/2 -31%) Zara's Universe
8.5
17/2(-31%)
(4) Zara's Universe 17/2, Course chase winner who gained a third success over the larger obstacles at Southwell (2m) in March. Better for hurdles return when sixth at Sedgefield and not taken lightly back over fences. Course winner; solid sixth over hurdles at Sedgefield latest; can go well back chasing.

|PU| (7) (22/1 -560%) Brickadank
22
22/1(-560%)
(7) Brickadank 22/1, Took thirty-seven attempts to get off the mark before recording back-to-back wins at this course in the space of a month in the spring. Must be respected in hat-trick bid. Bagged two handicap chases here last winter; not discounted after eight months off.
8
8
|PU| (8) (28/1 -12%) Dancing Dani
28
28/1(-12%)
(8) Dancing Dani 28/1, Poor and long-standing maiden under Rules and was well held at Ffos Las on comeback. Is 0-22 and he came in a well-held sixth in 2m Ffos Las handicap chase in October.
Kim Bailey has his string in fine form at present, and his ZMIINYI gets the nod. The six-year-old bumped into a potentially useful sort when finishing runner-up on his chase debut over 2m5f here last month and, with the step back in trip likely to suit, he may prove tough to peg back. Brickadank brought up a course double last spring and he merits consideration on his seasonal reappearance, while Caro Des Flos is also noteworthy.
ZMIINYI improved on his hurdles form at the first attempt when second here 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat with further improvement on the cards. Last year's winner Caro des Flos may emerge as the main threat ahead of the returning Brickadank.
There was lots to like about the chasing debut second of ZMIINYI (nap) and this low-mileage 6yo gets a confident vote to go one better.
(6) One Eye On Vegas 2/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning slow-ground handicaps over this C&D and at Hereford in January/February. Probably still in need of the run at Warwick recently, having exited early on when making his reappearance at Carlisle, and he's not discounted. Two wins on soft ground last winter; ran a flat race at Warwick only two weeks ago.

2nd (1) (18/1 -157%) Benassi
18
18/1(-157%)
(1) Benassi 18/1, Won twice over hurdles in early 2023. Back to that level when second of 4 in 19.5f Lingfield handicap last November but, having failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts, this 7-y-o now finds himself with a bit to prove. Has the form to feature but was never a factor on last month's return at Bangor.

3rd (5) (11/4 +61%) Tommie Gun
2.75
11/4(+61%)
(5) Tommie Gun 11/4, Southwell maiden winner last December and made the frame both starts switched to handicaps during the spring. Failed to fire back in this sphere following last-fence exit on return/chase debut, but the forecast testing conditions here will aid his cause. Retains some potential and won't mind getting back on softer ground.
4

4th (2) (15/2 +25%) Leading Choice
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(2) Leading Choice 15/2, airly useful bumper winner who made light of a 15-month absence to bag 7-runner novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) in February. Unsuited by emphasis on speed when sixth at Cheltenham on final run of last season and needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap. Bumper/maiden winner and appears to be entering handicaps off a realistic mark.
5th
7
5th (7) (13/2 -225%) Shantwopointfive
6.5
13/2(-225%)
(7) Shantwopointfive 13/2, Irish point winner who was second in a Southwell bumper and duly built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 7-runner maiden at Cartmel (2¾m, good to soft) in May. Mark for this handicap bow looks fair and she should have a part to play if raring to go following a 6-month break. Off since winning a Cartmel maiden in May but she's very unexposed.
6th

6th (3) (13/2 -86%) Easy To Follow
6.5
13/2(-86%)
(3) Easy To Follow 13/2, Already a dual 19f hurdles winner and put in a good shift when runner-up on her reappearance at Bangor (19.6f, heavy). Should give it a good shot up 2 lb here with similar conditions forecast. Mudlover; solid second at Bangor and entitled to come on for that first run in 276 days.
8
8
|PU| (8) (25/1 -25%) Rare Clouds
25
25/1(-25%)
(8) Rare Clouds 25/1, Knocking on the door prior to deservedly winning a 7-runner Wincanton handicap (21.4f, heavy) in January. More miss than hit since, though, and others look stronger. Back on last winning mark but needs a revival in the new cheekpieces.
4

|PU| (4) (28/1 +15%) Storming Nelson
28
28/1(+15%)
(4) Storming Nelson 28/1, Unpromising in points but made a bright start over hurdles, winning a 17f Exeter novice on New Year's Day. However, rather disapppointing switched to handicap company next 2 starts and opposable back up in trip here following 9 months off. Struggled in two handicaps but now on a reduced mark and he did win a novice on heavy.
9
9
|PU| (9) (33/1 -32%) Mcgowan's Pass
33
33/1(-32%)
(9) Mcgowan's Pass 33/1, Ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) in May. However, failed to build on that next time and this veteran is opposable back from a break. Remains capable but he turns 14 soon and hasn't raced for 174 days.
SHANTWOPOINTFIVE had plenty in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Cartmel in May and she merits the utmost respect on her handicap debut, despite a 194-day break. Easy To Follow only found one too good on her return to action at Bangor and is likely to be in the mix once again. The shortlist is completed by Leading Choice and McGowan's Pass.
Provided she is ready to roll, the unexposed SHANTWOPOINTFIVE will have every chance of adding to her Cartmel maiden success when last seen in May. The form of that race is admittedly nothing special, but that doesn't detract from that the fact that this 6-y-o is promising and she has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut. Tommie Gun looks dangerous back on deep ground, while One Eye On Vegas is third on the list ahead of Easy To Follow.
This can go the way of EASY TO FOLLOW, a mudlover who has already run well in two handicaps. Leading Choice is feared most.
(8) Caeruleum 2/1, 3/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good) 23 days ago. Holding form at present and should be involved once more. Not yet off the mark but running well and latest two chases won by improvers; contender.

5
2nd (5) (16/1 +36%) Always Busy
16
16/1(+36%)
(5) Always Busy 16/1, Modest handicap hurdler who didn't offer a great deal of encouragement on first go over fences at this course a fortnight ago. Up in trip now, but with something to prove. Mixed record in handicaps and well adrift on chase debut here last month.

11
3rd (11) (4/1 +0%) School For Scandal
4
4/1(+0%)
(11) School For Scandal 4/1, Not the most reliable (sulks if unable to dominate) but he's gelled well with this rider recently, completing a double with nothing to spare at Taunton last time. Respected. Had the upper hand over Jony Max on last 2 starts; close between them again.
4

4th (4) (40/1 -60%) Marettimo
40
40/1(-60%)
(4) Marettimo 40/1, Fair handicap chaser who shaped as if retaining his ability after 17 months off when fourth at Fontwell in October. Disappointing since, though. Dropped a long way in the weights but continues below best since back from absence.

14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Dindin 14/1, Successful at Worcester in summer 2023 and runner-up on 3 occasions after. Decent comeback third at Newton Abbot in August but has gone the wrong way from it. On losing run; well held in 3 of his last 4 starts; headgear discarded; work cut out.
9

|PU| (9) (15/8 +79%) Moonlight Artist
1.875
15/8(+79%)
(9) Moonlight Artist 15/8, Opened hurdles account at Exeter (23f, soft) last November and followed that with a respectable effort at Aintree next time. Back on track and showed some aptitude for chasing at Stratford on return. Likely to build on it. Won 2m7f hurdle last November; respectable chase debut in October and should improve.
10

|PU| (10) (22/1 +67%) Katopop
22
22/1(+67%)
(10) Katopop 22/1, Limited promise so far, including over fences, and it's hard to make a case for him. Pulled up in both handicaps, over fences and hurdles; huge turnaround needed.
6

|PU| (6) (25/1 -25%) Butterwick Brook
25
25/1(-25%)
(6) Butterwick Brook 25/1, More miss than hit since landing a Wincanton handicap chase in December 2021. Hard to fancy having been pulled up at Chepstow last time. Pulled up both starts before his absence and again on comeback run last month.
12
12
|PU| (12) (28/1 +15%) Benville Bridge
28
28/1(+15%)
(12) Benville Bridge 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Quickly sent chasing up in trip on return and could do better in this sphere. No form claims on 2m hurdle form; bred to do better now handicap chasing over further.
13
13
|PU| (13) (33/1 +0%) Elpologreg
33
33/1(+0%)
(13) Elpologreg 33/1, Got off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, soft) in February but that was a poor contest and has failed to back it up subsequently. Won 2m chase in February; in no sort of form over 2m3f and 3m2f this autumn.
School For Scandal (first) finished narrowly ahead of JONY MAX (second) over 2m7f at Taunton recently, though there is reason to believe that the latter can reverse that form here. Christian Williams' charge is expected to benefit from the application of cheekpieces and, now 1lb better off with his rival, he gets the nod. Game Hereford winner Langley Hundred is also noteworthy.
JONY MAX might have beaten School For Scandal last time had he not made a bad mistake on the way round so, on better terms, he's fancied to turn the tables. The in-form Caeruleum promises to put up another solid performance.
Perhaps JONY MAX can avenge his recent Taunton defeat by School For Scandal and repeat his 2021 success in this race.
(7) Silver Hill 9/2, £42,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 27f) American Legend and half-sister to smart bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Snow Tern. Ticks plenty boxes. Shirocco gelding; in good hands so he's a considered newcomer.

(6) Orderoftheday 13/2, £125,000 4-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser I'm All You Need and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Minella Tara. Dam unraced. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 18). Son of Order Of St George; changed hands for £125,000 after landing Irish point; a player.

(1) Away For The Night 22/1, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Backtonormal. Dam (h104) bumper/point winner. Likely outsider on debut. Getaway gelding; a respected newcomer, especially if the market vibes are positive.

7/4(+65%)
(3) Espresso Milan 7/4, €85,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Eabha Grace. Dam (h131), 2m-2¾m hurdle winner, half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (2¼m-21f winner) Bob Olinger. Makes paper appeal. Milan gelding; appeals on paper so this debutant must enter calculations.

5th (2) (17/2 +47%) Bel Ombre
8.5
17/2(+47%)
(2) Bel Ombre 17/2, Affinisea gelding. Brother to dual bumper winner Avakate. Dam runner-up in points. Tongue tied for debut. Brother to Listed bumper winner Avakate; tongue tied for his debut; the betting can guide.

11/4(+0%)
(5) Kykorock 11/4, €14,000 3-y-o, Ballingarry gelding. Half-brother to 13f bumper winner in France Gaby Sun. Dam placed in French bumper. Comfortable winner sole start in points (Feb 2024) so makes obvious appeal from a top yard. Ballingarry gelding; a ready points scorer in February so he's an interesting debutant.
7th
8
7th (8) (22/1 +21%) Warfleet
22
22/1(+21%)
(8) Warfleet 22/1, Very green at Worcester on debut but was much sharper second time up when second of 9 at this C&D (good to firm) back in July. Has since switched yards and does at least have experience on his side. Runner-up in a bumper over C&D in July; he can do better still so ought to be thereabouts.
8th

8th (4) (18/1 -13%) He's A Diamond

18/1(-13%)
(4) He's A Diamond 18/1, €1,000 3-y-o, £30,000 5-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (b84) placed first of 2 starts in bumpers. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (April 2024). Diamond Boy gelding; runner-up in an Irish point in April so needs considering.
LTO Selection:hiden content,
Olly Murphy has a good record at this venue, so ORDEROFTHEDAY gets the vote. The point-to-point winner fetched 125,000 pounds in May and connections are likely to be disappointed if he weren't able to play a hand in a race of this nature first time up. Silver Hill represents the in-form Jamie Snowden team and he merits respect on debut. Kykorock is also considered.
The market will no doubt prove informative with all bar Warfleet making their Rules debut. However, preference is for ORDERBYTHEDAY, who was successful on his second of 2 starts in Irish points back in the spring. Second choice is Kykorock, who is also a point winner and represents the in-form Skelton outfit, with Espresso Milan and Silver Hill taken to fight out minor honours.
Olly Murphy's ORDEROFTHEDAY fetched £125,000 after landing an Irish point and this son of Order Of St George can make a successful start
(3) Passing Kate 1/2, Clearly effective when the mud is flying, successful in mares' handicaps over this C&D and at Wincanton last season. Closed off that campaign with a respectable third at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) and she's a key player. 7lb above last winning mark but she's a consistent mare who will enjoy these conditions.

1
2nd (1) (11/2 +27%) Twyford's Diamond
5.5
11/2(+27%)
(1) Twyford's Diamond 11/2, Showed ability over hurdles last season, particularly when finding just one too good in a mares' novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in April. Shaped as though amiss at Ffos Las the following month but has since undergone a wind op and she will be a threat if able to get back on track. Clear second at Ludlow; stopped quickly on handicap debut; had wind surgery since.

3rd (5) (10/3 -67%) Malinka
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(5) Malinka 10/3, Fair Flat performer who made a winning debut over hurdles in smooth style after 11 weeks off at Cartmel (17.2f, heavy) in August, responding well. Disappointed next time but latest third in a first-time hood (on again here) at Sedgefield was a sound effort and she's of strong interest. Cartmel winner; makes handicap debut and this 3yo filly gets all the allowances.

4th (6) (66/1 -32%) Comeonrita
66
66/1(-32%)
(6) Comeonrita 66/1, Little show in bumpers and just modest form at best so far over hurdles, pulled up at Hexham when last seen 17 months ago. Readily passed over starting out for new yard here. Modest eight-race maiden who has offered little in handicaps, pulling up in her last two.
5th
4
5th (4) (11/1 -214%) Fillyfudge
11
11/1(-214%)
(4) Fillyfudge 11/1, Fair winner on the Flat and bettered previous efforts in this sphere when third of 8 in a C&D handicap (good to soft) 17 days ago. One to consider off the same mark with visor on for the first time over hurdles (in good form with the same headgear elisted on the level this year). Third back over hurdles here recently but today's testing ground may find her out.
2

|PU| (2) (50/1 -213%) Trudie Glen
50
50/1(-213%)
(2) Trudie Glen 50/1, Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper in May 2023. Pleasing start to hurdles career when runner-up at Southwell during the spring but safely held both subsequent starts and has left Dan Skelton ahead of this handicap debut. Ex-Skelton mare; others have more pressing claims on stable/handicap debut.
FILLYFUDGE made the frame on her return to hurdling over C&D last month and Amy Murphy's mare gets the vote off the same mark here. Passing Kate was a consistent performer last season and should not be underestimated in this company, even if a 227-day layoff is a slight concern. Twyford's Diamond has had a wind operation since her last appearance and any market support for her would have to be noted.
The vote goes to C&D winner PASSING KATE, who shades preference ahead of the 3-y-o Malinka. The latter got back on track when third at Sedgefield and she has to be taken seriously now handicapping, while it would be no surprise if Fillyfudge were to make her presence felt, too.
The consistent PASSING KATE (nap) appeals as the safest option. She lacks a run but her yard is having winners.
(6) Marhaba Prince 4/1, Postponed gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 1¼m winner The City's Phantom. Interesting contender for leading Flat yard (both previous runners in this sphere for the stable have been placed) and the market should be revealing. Half-brother to two useful Flat winners; represents good Flat yard and could be in the mix.

2nd (8) (22/1 +78%) Precious Metal
22
22/1(+78%)
(8) Precious Metal 22/1, Castle Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including 17f chase winner Hindou. Entitled to come on for the run. 14,000euros yearling; half-brother to 4 French winners; may be one for further down line.

3rd (3) (10/3 +0%) Frontier Prince
3.333333
10/3(+0%)
(3) Frontier Prince 10/3, Strong in the betting and found just one too good on debut in a Ludlow bumper (15.8f, good to soft) last month with the re-opposing Intosomethinggood 1¼ lengths adrift in third. Open to improvement and bold show on the cards here. 6-5 favourite when going close on debut at Ludlow last month; open to improvement; chance.
4
7
4th (7) (11/1 +8%) Phineas Bunce
11
11/1(+8%)
(7) Phineas Bunce 11/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Flemenstide. Represents top yard and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant. Newcomer who is bred for today's job and is with a leading trainer.
5th
10
5th (10) (7/4 +47%) Trustintimes
1.75
7/4(+47%)
(10) Trustintimes 7/4, Closely related to 3 winners and half-brother to 5 winners on Flat, including useful performer Ouja. Positive start to his career when runner-up in a 13.2f Exeter bumper (good to soft) and likely to make a bold bid to go one better. Promising second on debut at Exeter in October and he's a leading contender.
6th
9
6th (9) (16/1 +76%) The Goose
16
16/1(+76%)
(9) The Goose 16/1, 2,000 gns half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including fairly useful 1½m winner Wohileh. Wouldn't be one of the more appealing candidates on paper. Debut; 2,000gns 3yo; half-brother to two useful Flat winners; others are more compelling.

7th (5) (66/1 +34%) Kapitein Kool
66
66/1(+34%)
(5) Kapitein Kool 66/1, €15,500 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 19f) Jpr One. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. 15,500euros 3yo; dam from talented family but he may be best watched on debut.
8th

8th (4) (11/1 -57%) Intosomethinggood
11
11/1(-57%)
(4) Intosomethinggood 11/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Cloudy View and shaped with some encouragement when third in a 7-runner Ludlow bumper on his introduction. Bit to find with Frontier Prince on that evidence but he merits respect all the same. Yard saddled the winner of this in 2020. Encouraging start at Ludlow last month (just behind Frontier Prince); could build on it.
9th
12
9th (12) (100/1 +0%) Adaay Dancing
100
100/1(+0%)
(12) Adaay Dancing 100/1, Adaay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners on Flat, including 6f-8.3f winner Nightingale Valley. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, 1m-1½m winner on Flat. Others make more appeal on this occasion. Half-sister to 3 Flat winners; makes debut against males and a watching brief may be best.

11/1(-38%)
(13) Opale De Maine 11/1, No Risk At All filly. Dam, 15f hurdle winner in France, sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser in France (stayed 23f) Polidam. Yard boasts a healthy strike rate in bumpers and she needs a market check. Takes on males on debut but in-form trainer does well in bumpers; betting may guide.
LTO Selection:hiden content,
TRUSTINTIMES lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up on his introduction in an Exeter bumper over 1m5f in October and, with the promise of more to come, it will be no surprise if he is able to go one place better second time up. Similar comments apply to Frontier Prince, who shaped with plenty of promise when second on his debut at Ludlow and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Of the newcomers, Crest Of Stars is respected most.
FRONTIER PRINCE and Trustintimes both shaped like ready-made future winners when runner-up on their respective debuts at Ludlow and Exeter. Choosing between them isn't easy but Frontier Prince, who did well to get within a length of the winner at Ludlow, is marginally preferred given his obvious scope for improvement. Several of the newcomers are appealing on paper, not least Marhaba Prince and Walk In The West.
Exeter runner-up TRUSTINTIMES can put his experience to good use and go one better. The chief threat could come from Marhaba Prince.
(7) Palazzo Persico 9/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Fitting of visor may help (record in blinkers bodes well); competitively treated.

7/1(-17%)
(11) Forever Proud 7/1, 5/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 38 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form. 0-4 for new stable but this step back up in trip looks a positive; well weighted.

50/1(-100%)
(3) Alvesta 50/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 50 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Others have achieved more. 0-13 for Andrew Balding; sold for 14,000gns since last run.

(1) Renesmee 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 4/1) 14 days ago, never nearer. Respected. Consistent for current yard; creditable second over C&D two starts ago; solid claims.

11/1(-10%)
(6) Mc'ted 11/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in September. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago. Player. Four wins this year; creditable second at Lingfield most recently; not ruled out.

9/2(+78%)
(10) Ocean Odyssey 9/2, 16/1, eye-catching seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Hood back on. Needs considering. 3yo maiden who ran promisingly (good late progress) at Kempton most recently.
11th

11th (2) (4/1 +47%) Star Pupil
4
4/1(+47%)
(2) Star Pupil 4/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 8/1) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. In the mix. Ran encouragingly upped to 1m2f last time; possibilities if taking well to headgear.

|PU| (13) (80/1 -142%) Rainbow Sign
80
80/1(-142%)
(13) Rainbow Sign 80/1, Two wins from 46 Flat runs. Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) 45 days ago. Back up in trip. On a long losing run and yet to win away from Lingfield.
RAINWATER showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and after shaping like he was still in good heart when fourth off 5lb higher over this trip at Newcastle subsequently, he gets the vote to land the spoils off an unchanged mark. Mc'ted found only one rival too good at Lingfield last month and, off 2lb higher than his last winning rating, he warrants respect, despite his wide draw. Renesmee is also noteworthy.
It could be worth chancing OCEAN ODYSSEY, who caught the eye at Kempton last time and looks just the type his yard can place to advantage at some point this winter. Forever Proud and Star Pupil head the dangers.
The 3yo maiden OCEAN ODYSSEY is taken to build on his latest effort and get off the mark. Palazzo Persico is second choice.
(1) By The Book 5/6, Son of Frankel who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in 11-runner novice at Haydock (7f) 18 months ago. Absent/gelded subsequently but he remains open to improvement for his leading stable. Absent since his comfortable debut win at Haydock 18 months ago; heed the market signals.

3.333333
10/3(-33%)
(8) Plage De Havre 10/3, Gelded on the back of an encouraging midfield debut effort at Yarmouth in summer of 2023 and much improved after 14 months off when second of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago. Definitely up to playing a part with a repeat. Gelded prior to running well at Wolverhampton on belated reappearance; enters calculations.

3rd (2) (2/1 -11%) Jolly Jack Tar

2/1(-11%)
(2) Jolly Jack Tar 2/1, Promising individual who showed benefit of debut experience when winning 4-runner maiden (8/13) at Lingfield (10f, AW) in February, with plenty in hand. Marked himself down as a useful prospect then and big shout back from 9 months off. Both starts in February, readily winning at Lingfield latest; should have more to offer.

(14) Universal Story 20/1, €140,000 yearling, 40,000 gns 3-y-o, Sea The Stars filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Eleanora Duse out of useful 1¼m winner Drama Class. Worth a second look in the betting. 40,000gns 3yo; by Sea The Stars out of a well-related dam; the pick of the newcomers.

40/1(-100%)
(10) Endless Whisper 40/1, Teofilo filly who was much improved from debut and left the impression she'll be even better suited by this trip when fifth of 10 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago. Claims of making the frame. Promise in 1m races at Southwell; shapes as if 1m2f will suit; frame possibilities.

150
150/1(-127%)
(6) Incan Empire 150/1, Ran to only a modest level without threatening on second of 2 starts in maidens during the spring. Gelded ahead of return but he's another who is entitled to hold more chance in handicaps moving forward. Couple of duck eggs in the spring; gelded since.

66/1(+18%)
(4) Pocket Too 66/1, Fair form on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers but well held sole outing over hurdles during early 2022. Starts out for new yard after well over 2 years off and he's likely best watched. Absent since heavy defeat over hurdles in May 2022; debut for new yard.

(13) Inlet 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when tenth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (12.1f, 200/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Pair of duck eggs next to her name.

(12) Baroque Pearl 250/1, Dutch Art filly who has offered little in pair of starts to date, sixth of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) 70 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to improve markedly for this new trip.

(11) Marion Of Elmstone 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f). Off 23 months. Up in trip on this belated return to action and she looks up against it again. Poor claims on form and is returning from a long layoff.

50/1(-52%)
(7) Norflondonforever 50/1, €35,000 foal, 125,000 gns yearling, Exceed And Excel gelding. Brother to ungenuine 1¼m winner Jebel Dukhan and closely related to 3 winners, including useful 7f/1m winner Smuggler's Moon. Dam unraced. Market can guide. Brother to a 1m2f AW winner; stable not noted for debut scorers.

(15) Vitruvian Dawn 200/1, 42,000 gns yearling, Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 8.3f winner Cet Horizon and useful 9.5f-1½m winner Crack of Light. Dam, 11.6f/1½m winner, sister to smart 1¼m-1¾m winner First In Line. Wears hood. 42,000gns yearling; by Study Of Man; wears hood on debut.
14th
3
14th (3) (200/1 -100%) Invincible Heir
200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Invincible Heir 200/1, Always behind and offered nothing on debut at Kempton (7f) in August 2022 and pulled up after 1f back at that venue a month later. Can only be watched returning from over 2 years on the sidelines. No form claims and has been absent for a long time.
Godolphin appear to hold a strong hand in this contest and JOLLY JACK TAR looks the pick of the duo. The son of Too Darn Hot fairly bolted up over this trip at Lingfield on his second start in February and, with the promise of more improvement to come, he appeals as the most likely winner. By The Book scored impressively on debut over 7f at Haydock in June 2023 and, having been gelded during his spell on the sidelines, he must be of interest stepping up in trip on his return to action. Plage De Havre looks the pick of the remainder.
JOLLY JACK TAR looked potentially useful when making his second start a winning one in a 4-runner Lingfield maiden back in February and open to further improvement back from 9 months off, he's fancied to make a bold bid under a penalty. Fellow Godolphin representative By The Book looked promising himself when making a winning debut at Haydock last year and needs considering on return. Plage de Havre is another expected to be firmly in the mix.
Godolphin runners JOLLY JACK TAR and By The Book both lack recent match practice but they are respected in terms of form/potential.
(9) Blazes Boylan 33/1, C&D winner. 33/1, again shaped as if needing the run after a further 4 months off when last of 10 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Must improve. Won small-field C&D novice in January but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark in handicaps.

(7) Thankuappreciate 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in November. Not in same form from the same mark when sixth of 9 in handicap there (5f, 5/1) 23 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Must bounce back. Ended losing run at Southwell last month (5f); beaten off 4lb lower last time; needs more.

2nd (6) (13/2 +46%) El Bufalo
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(6) El Bufalo 13/2, 13/2, fared no better back up in trip when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not easy to make a case for. Not lived up to market billing in two handicaps this autumn; low mileage but risky.

3rd (2) (5/4 +69%) Existent
1.25
5/4(+69%)
(2) Existent 5/4, C&D winner. Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2022. 9/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time, not seen to best effect when ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 81 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations in this grade. Ages since his last win but down in weights and the return to AW could pique his interest.

4th (5) (20/1 -150%) Dark Kestrel
20
20/1(-150%)
(5) Dark Kestrel 20/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. 14/1, ran at least as well in defeat when third of 9 in handicap at same course (5f) 19 days ago. Can give another good account. Two 5f wins on AW this year; solid 3rd off this mark latest; others preferred for the win.
5th

5th (1) (12/1 -9%) Bang On The Bell
12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Bang On The Bell 12/1, C&D winner. 17/2, wasted no time getting back to form when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago, well positioned. Sound each-way claims. Back to a winning mark and ran well at Wolverhampton latest; solid contender.
6th

6th (10) (11/2 +21%) Angle Land
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(10) Angle Land 11/2, C&D winner. 13/2, got back on track returned to all-weather when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 2 weeks ago. Needs to back that up here. C&D winner; ran well at Southwell two weeks ago and she's one to take seriously.
7th
4
7th (4) (17/2 -21%) Due For Luck
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(4) Due For Luck 17/2, Irresolute performer. 22/1, shaped as if back in form after 10 weeks off when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, never getting the room to fully open up in the straight. Met trouble in running over C&D last month; dangerous mark; each-way shout.
8th
8
8th (8) (8/1 -45%) Lipsink
8
8/1(-45%)
(8) Lipsink 8/1, C&D winner. 8/1, turned in best effort of the year when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) just under 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. 5 lb rise may not prove sufficient to stop him from following up. Two wins since joining Mick Appleby; still has handicapping scope and he's one to consider.
LIPSINK overcame an awkward start to run out a ready winner at Wolverhampton last month and, upped 5lb, he gets the nod to bring up a double. The formerly very smart Acklam Express is an obvious contender back off his last winning mark, while Dark Kestrel lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Newcastle and he is respected most out of the remainder.
A host in with chances but last-time-out winner LIPSINK gets the nod to notch his third success of 2024 having not had much racing at a bare 5f this season. His main danger may emerge from Existent, who is on a lengthy losing run but has tumbled in the weights and has his first outing on the all-weather since February 2022. Dark Kestrel and Acklam Express are another couple fancied to go well, too.
This is a drop in class for EXISTENT and, belatedly returned to AW, he may be able to exploit it. Angle Land is feared most.
(9) Dashing Panther 11/8, 7/1, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at this course (13.3f) 26 days ago, slowly away. Good claims. Lightly raced 5yo who won comfortably over 1m5f here last month despite starting slowly.
2
8
2nd (8) (9/4 +44%) William Walton
2.25
9/4(+44%)
(8) William Walton 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden (8/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut and open to improvement. Mild improvement of late; an interesting handicap debutant for good yard.
3
5
3rd (5) (16/1 -88%) Dreams Adozen
16
16/1(-88%)
(5) Dreams Adozen 16/1, 7/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 37 days ago. Enters calculations. Front-runner who has won four times on turf; could be worth another chance on the AW.

4th (3) (10/1 +17%) Cardano
10
10/1(+17%)
(3) Cardano 10/1, Course winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 25/1) 17 days ago. Respected. Won over a tad shorter here in July off 1lb higher; respectable in his last three races.
5th

5th (1) (33/1 -50%) Fleurman
33
33/1(-50%)
(1) Fleurman 33/1, 25/1, last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f). Off 92 days. Cheekpieces back on. Wasn't beaten far over C&D in July but it's been a disappointing year overall.
6th

6th (7) (16/1 -129%) Tradesman
16
16/1(-129%)
(7) Tradesman 16/1, 4-time course winner. 22/1, last of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm), lost all chance at start. Off 179 days. Course specialist; can deal with this mark and has shown he's able when fresh.
7th

7th (6) (33/1 -136%) Hedonista
33
33/1(-136%)
(6) Hedonista 33/1, 9/2, last of 8 in handicap at this course (16f). Off 151 days. Dual AW winner; given a wind operation since last seen in July; could yet rate higher.
8th

8th (2) (6/1 +25%) True Courage
6
6/1(+25%)
(2) True Courage 6/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. 12/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 31 days ago. Back up in trip. Capable on his day at up to this far and he's 2-3 here; not handicapped out of it.
9th
10
9th (10) (28/1 -12%) Jacques Cartier
28
28/1(-12%)
(10) Jacques Cartier 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 11/2). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. 0-3 for the Crisfords and sold on for 6,500gns; new trainer fits a hood; off since April.
Dashing Panther was having only his second start of the year when scoring here last month. He can feature in the finish again, while Tradesman returns to the all-weather with solid claims off his current mark, but a chance is taken on WILLIAM WALTON. Owen Burrows' three-year-old has shown steady improvement in three outings over 1m4f and the son of Galileo will likely relish this extra test of stamina now handicapping for the first time.
WILLIAM WALTON caught the eye on his qualifying run at Southwell and this brother to Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Waldgeist can find the required improvement on handicap bow. Dashing Panther scored with a bit in hand here last month and remains unexposed on AW, so is next best ahead of Dreams Adozen.
A few with chances but WILLIAM WALTON appeals as a likely improver now sent into a handicap by his good trainer.
(6) Hiatus 3/1, Good fourth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago, ridden home turn and late headway. Returns to sprinting operating 2 lb below last winning mark and he's not out of things. Handicapped to win and a well-run race at 6f could see him bounce back to his best.
2
4
2nd (4) (8/1 -33%) Merrimack
8
8/1(-33%)
(4) Merrimack 8/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Sixth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at this course (5f) 49 days ago, hampered and shuffled back towards rear home turn. Better showing not ruled out. Two front-running wins in July; handicapper on top since; still relatively early days.

3rd (13) (15/2 +38%) Asadjumeirah
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(13) Asadjumeirah 15/2, Forty six runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 30 days ago. Worked his way down to a basement mark and he should have a race in him this winter. On a long losing run; 2lb out of the weights on a rare Class 5 run.

4th (7) (6/1 +25%) Sir Rodneyredblood

6/1(+25%)
(7) Sir Rodneyredblood 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 15/2, last of 6 in handicap at this course (5f) 28 days ago. Likely type to bounce back. Prolific AW winner; not seen to best effect latest and type to bounce back quickly.
5th
12
5th (12) (6/1 -33%) Lion Ring
6
6/1(-33%)
(12) Lion Ring 6/1, 4-time course winner, the latest over C&D in October. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago, outpaced over 1f out before keeping on. One to consider with a repeat. Successful on last three visits to Chelmsford; ran well from a bad draw latest; contender.
6th

6th (9) (12/1 +14%) Shibuya Storm
12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Shibuya Storm 12/1, Winner at Lingfield in June. 5/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago, the step up in trip possibly stretching her. Makes polytrack debut. 6f turf win in June; yet to make a major splash in handicaps though.
7th

7th (3) (12/1 -71%) Glitterella
12
12/1(-71%)
(3) Glitterella 12/1, Went close in handicaps at Haydock/Bath during the summer. Subsequent runs have been below that level, latterly when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 52 days ago. However, she's not one to be giving up on from sliding mark. Nine-race maiden who isn't progressing; chance if back to her summer best though.
8th

8th (5) (18/1 +10%) Shalaa Asker
18
18/1(+10%)
(5) Shalaa Asker 18/1, C&D winner. 28/1, first run since leaving Adrian Keatley when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, never better than midfield. Drawn wider than ideal on thi occasion and others appeal more. On a losing run and last month's stable debut didn't suggest he was ready to end it.
9th
11
9th (11) (11/1 +56%) Eldeyaar
11
11/1(+56%)
(11) Eldeyaar 11/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 18/1) 30 days ago, weakening 1f out. Needs to bounce back returned to all-weather. Two Class 6 wins in September; less good the last twice; well drawn to attack.
10th

10th (1) (8/1 +33%) Harry Brown
8
8/1(+33%)
(1) Harry Brown 8/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 17/2) 16 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Mark has eased further but he needs to show more encouraging signs before becoming of interest again. Poor form for new yard but plummeted in the weights and he needs a close market check.
11th
8
11th (8) (20/1 -67%) Little Miss Magic
20
20/1(-67%)
(8) Little Miss Magic 20/1, Winner at Bath in August. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Looks competitive on form. In and out since her Bath win in August (5f); others appeal more for win purposes.
LION RING has recorded four of his five wins to date at this venue and may prove the one to side with. Andrew Martin's sprinter is only 2lb higher than when last successful here in October and another bold bid is anticipated. Sir Rodneyredblood was narrowly beaten here on his penultimate start and is not easily dismissed, while Hiatus returns to this distance with a shout off his current mark and can make his presence felt.
Loads in with a shout and with that in mind it could be worth chancing LION RING following his recent return to form, Hiatus and Merrimack head up the dangers, with Glitterella another not dismissed out of hand.
Harry Brown has the ability to outclass his rivals and the betting should guide. As things stand, SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD is preferred.
(11) Beauty Choice 16/1, 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Generally consistent this year; has gained all AW wins at Wolverhampton.

11/1(-22%)
(14) Lord Rapscallion 11/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 63 days ago. Could get involved from a handy draw. Latest effort took his C&D record to 1134; won this race off 8lb higher in 2022.

(3) Batal Zabeel 16/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Ripon in June. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut. Has a bit to prove. Raced only at 5f/6f but latest effort suggests this new trip is possibly worth exploring.

15/2(+46%)
(15) Nammos 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt if stall 13 doesn't scupper her. Record of 1212, mostly over C&D, since returned to AW; upped in grade but looks solid.

(6) G'daay 22/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 10/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Won off this mark on turf in August; inconsistent otherwise this year.

(12) Where's Freddy 12/1, Latest win at Newmarket in July. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Not discounted. Record in 7f handicaps suggests he may be capable of further progress; interesting.

7th (9) (9/2 +0%) Ultramarine

9/2(+0%)
(9) Ultramarine 9/2, Course winner. 3 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Looks the one to beat. Very consistent of late; close second off this mark over C&D most recently; rock solid.
8th

8th (5) (6/1 +0%) Monsieur Kodi
6
6/1(+0%)
(5) Monsieur Kodi 6/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 7/1) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Best known as a sprinter; in good form but this return to 7f is a drawback.
9th

50/1(-52%)
(10) Dion Baker 50/1, 3 wins from 23 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 31 days ago. Tough ask from a poor draw. Has a record of 0-20 on AW; not the percentage call.

(4) Desert Doctor 80/1, Course winner. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 90 days ago. Others preferred. Still capable of fairly useful form in 2023; has regressed in two runs this year.

(2) One More Dream 40/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. 50/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. Difficult ask. Multiple AW scorer but has a big doubt over current form.
12th

12th (7) (7/1 +36%) Justcallmepete
7
7/1(+36%)
(7) Justcallmepete 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newbury in September. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Worthy of consideration. Multiple 6f winner; capable of going well but is 0-15 at this distance.
13th
8
13th (8) (13/2 -8%) Chola Empire
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(8) Chola Empire 13/2, C&D winner. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 21 days ago. Should get the ideal set up here and looks a definite contender. Largely consistent on AW; ties in with solid Ultramarine on C&D running last time.
MONSIEUR KODI opened his account on the all-weather with a victory over 6f here last month. Richard Fahey's charge is 3lb higher on his return to this track, having made the frame at Newcastle subsequently, but has won off higher marks on turf and looks worthy of another chance over this extra furlong. Ultramarine went close over C&D three weeks ago and can feature once again, while Nammos has been in the mix in lower-grade contests and could land a blow.
ULTRAMARINE has been in top form under this rider and the complexion of this race looks ideal for his style, so he's preferred to Chola Empire, who arrives in good order and has an ideal draw. Monsieur Kodi is one of several others for whom a case can be made.
The most solid contenders are ULTRAMARINE (narrowly preferred) and Nammos, who both have excellent recent form figures.
(9) Profitman 4/1, C&D winner. 5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 7 lengths last of 6 to Thomas Equinas in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Cheekpieces discarded now and claims if settling better this time. Below par in cheekpieces last time; has a record of 122 over C&D when not wearing headgear.

(7) Rob's Umberella 25/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and visor on 1st time. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Some late headway last time but needs to do better; headgear fitted.

(1) Spartan Fighter 28/1, 25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut and others make more appeal on this occasion. Multiple winner on Tapeta; switch to Polytrack is an unknown.

4/1(+75%)
(8) Kitaro Kich 4/1, 16/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise his game. Has lacked consistency but latest effort suggests this drop back to 7f may help.
5th

5th (11) (14/1 +44%) Jesse Luc
14
14/1(+44%)
(11) Jesse Luc 14/1, 25/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm). Off 6 months and would be in with a shout if reproducing the form of his Kempton third in April. Produced his peak effort in last AW attempt; absent since June; check the betting.
6th

6th (13) (14/1 +44%) Red Scotch
14
14/1(+44%)
(13) Red Scotch 14/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 22/1) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes polytrack debut and significant step forward needed. Has failed to build on debut effort.
7th

7th (2) (4/1 +0%) Thomas Equinas
4
4/1(+0%)
(2) Thomas Equinas 4/1, Four-time C&D winner, the latest registered in October. Last of 5 in handicap (7/2), again at this C&D 28 days ago. Would be a danger to all if on-song. Record of 5-16 at Chelmsford, the most recent win in October; pulled too hard last time.
8th
10
8th (10) (11/4 +63%) Heerathetrack
2.75
11/4(+63%)
(10) Heerathetrack 11/4, C&D winner. Good fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 8/1) 21 days ago. Live each-way chance. Has a largely consistent record at Chelmsford; drop back to 7f is ideal; solid chance.
9th
15
9th (15) (28/1 -12%) Advindi
28
28/1(-12%)
(15) Advindi 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 50/1) 20 days ago. Readily passed over. Showed promise over 6f last time while shaping as if this return to 7f will suit.
10th
14
10th (14) (12/1 +52%) Scarfo
12
12/1(+52%)
(14) Scarfo 12/1, 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this polytrack debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won off 1lb higher in July but needs a revival; headgear now applied.
11th
3
11th (3) (66/1 -100%) Lady In Havana
66
66/1(-100%)
(3) Lady In Havana 66/1, 40/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months ahead of this yard debut and she's readily passed over. Eventually lost her form for David Loughnane; market helpful on debut for new yard.
THOMAS EQUINAS was too keen to do himself justice when last of five over C&D last month having benefited from the reapplication of cheekpieces the time before. However, the five-year-old may have a better chance of settling in a bigger field and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. Profitman was disappointing behind the selection when last seen, but is better judged on a brace of runner-up efforts prior. Heerathetrack isn't discounted dropping back to 7f.
A sixth course win could be on the cards for THOMAS EQUINAS, who took a strong hold when misfiring here last month and is better judged on his C&D success in October. Profitman was last in the six-runner handicap won by the selection last time but he will be in the thick of things if able to bounce back with the cheekpieces omitted. The picture would look somewhat different if Poetic Jack, who is due to run at Lingfield on Wednesday, takes his chance.
With the cheekpieces discarded, PROFITMAN is well worth another chance kept to this C&D. Advindi is second choice.
(12) Rising Force 12/1, Course winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Third of 12 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Not discounted. Poor strike-rate and not certain to back up last month's C&D third.
2

2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Kondratiev Wave
3
3/1(+33%)
(4) Kondratiev Wave 3/1, Course winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in October. 14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago. Clearly the one to beat. Four wins since June and he's run well in defeat the last twice; in the mix once more.
3

3rd (1) (4/1 +84%) Masqool
4
4/1(+84%)
(1) Masqool 4/1, 6/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 22 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Dangerous mark and the return to Class 6 will suit; not ruled out.
4
8
4th (8) (28/1 -75%) Miss Dandylion
28
28/1(-75%)
(8) Miss Dandylion 28/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, very slowly away. She has followed a good third at Southwell with two lesser efforts; needs a full revival.
5th

5th (6) (9/2 +47%) Molly Valentine
4.5
9/2(+47%)
(6) Molly Valentine 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. She has run well in 3 of her last 4 starts; cheekpieces now added; one to consider.
6th
10
6th (10) (10/1 +60%) Union Island
10
10/1(+60%)
(10) Union Island 10/1, Winner at Musselburgh in July. 11/1, last of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 64 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Poor form in handicaps since winning a weak 5f maiden in July; stamina to prove.
7th
11
7th (11) (10/1 -18%) Edmund Ironside
10
10/1(-18%)
(11) Edmund Ironside 10/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 40 days ago. Should give another good account. Signs of a revival over C&D six weeks ago; no headgear today but worth a second look.
8th
2
8th (2) (5/1 -25%) Callianassa
5
5/1(-25%)
(2) Callianassa 5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Good second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Makes polytrack debut. Looks a definite player. Exposed as a sprinter but ran well when 2nd upped to 1m 12 days ago; could yet do better.
9th
3
9th (3) (11/1 -120%) Anamika
11
11/1(-120%)
(3) Anamika 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in novice (5/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Bred to do better and is a possible improver now sent handicapping. Unexposed but not obviously well treated ahead of her handicap debut.
10th
5
10th (5) (50/1 -257%) Go Wild
50
50/1(-257%)
(5) Go Wild 50/1, Winner at Lingfield in September. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. Struggled in three handicap runs following her win in a weak Lingfield novice (1m).
KONDRATIEV WAVE continues to be a reliable individual and the seven-year-old, who won here over 7f in August, arrives following a solid third at Lingfield. Anamika is an interesting contender making her handicap debut, with the pick of her three runs coming here when runner-up in August. Callianassa improved for stepping up in trip to finish second at Newcastle and she could have more to offer.
KONDRATIEV WAVE has been in good form for a while and this is a touch weaker than the race in which he was third at Lingfield last time, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of Molly Valentine and Callianassa, who also arrive on the back of solid efforts. Anamika could improve for the switch to handicaps.
Molly Valentine is high on the list but KONDRATIEV WAVE may be able to win for the fifth time since June.
(1) Port Erin 13/2, 10/1, second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Warrants respect off the same mark. Back to form at Wolverhampton (7f) latest; return to 1m is a plus; shortlisted.
2
6
2nd (6) (3/1 +0%) Elterwater
3
3/1(+0%)
(6) Elterwater 3/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 21 days ago by length from Kessaar Power, driven out. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she has to be high on the shortlist. Drop back to 1m saw her run out a ready winner here 3 weeks ago; still looks well treated.
3
2
3rd (2) (15/8 +58%) H Key Lails
1.875
15/8(+58%)
(2) H Key Lails 15/8, C&D winner. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/1) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. C&D winner; placed on his last four starts and respected despite creeping up the weights.
4
3
4th (3) (20/1 -43%) Got No Dollars
20
20/1(-43%)
(3) Got No Dollars 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Looks vulnerable. C&D win in August off 1lb lower; well held in a Class 5 latest; this is more suitable.
5th
4
5th (4) (13/2 +54%) Beauld As Brass
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(4) Beauld As Brass 13/2, Unreliable sort. 12/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Place possibilities. Kept on over 7f last time but not sure to stay 1m and can lose his race at the start.
6th
8
6th (8) (9/2 +10%) Kessaar Power
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(8) Kessaar Power 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 11/4, creditable length second of 12 to Elterwater in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Looks set for another big run. Conditions to suit and comes here in form; work to do with Elterwater on latest run.
7th
12
7th (12) (20/1 +60%) Quick Away
20
20/1(+60%)
(12) Quick Away 20/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Leicester (7f, heavy) 58 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and she will probably come up short once more. Out of form since finishing second at Southwell in March; plenty to prove.
8th
7
8th (7) (22/1 -83%) Tactical Control
22
22/1(-83%)
(7) Tactical Control 22/1, Good sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, hampered. Cheekpieces on 1st time and improvement needed. 1m turf win in August; mixed since but down in weights and now tried in cheekpieces.
9th
5
9th (5) (40/1 +0%) Deep Blue
40
40/1(+0%)
(5) Deep Blue 40/1, 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has shown some promise but she needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat 12 days ago.
10th
11
10th (11) (100/1 -100%) Primrose Maid
100
100/1(-100%)
(11) Primrose Maid 100/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do. Run to form just once in 11 starts in 2024; remains opposable for win purposes.
11th
9
11th (9) (28/1 -211%) Empress Of Hope
28
28/1(-211%)
(9) Empress Of Hope 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, third of 7 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Appeals as the type to improve now pitched into a handicap. Modest form in her first three starts but rates a likely improver now handicapping over 1m.
ELTERWATER benefited from dropping in trip when getting off the mark over C&D and the daughter of Camelot is expected to back that performance up, despite a 3lb rise, and confirm the form with runner-up Kessaar Power. The latter's recent form here gives him every chance of being in the mix again, while the consistent H Key Lails and handicap debutant Empress Of Hope head the remainder.
EMPRESS OF HOPE shaped as though getting the hang of things when third in a 7f Southwell novice a fortnight ago and, with the promise of better to come from this lightly-raced filly now handicapping over a new trip, she gets the nod. H Key Lails has gone close on each of his last three starts and looks sure to be on the premises once again, along with Elterwater and Kessaar Power, who were first and second respectively in a C&D handicap last time.
Port Erin is high on the list back at 1m but ELTERWATER (nap) can defy a small rise for last month's C&D win.

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.
