12:15 Catterick (Class 5) 25f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +86%) Born In The West	1.5 6/4(+86%)	(2) Born In The West 6/4, Outpaced and in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Looking one to follow in the spring, when winning here, but not in same form this autumn.
2	10 2nd (10) (14/1 +22%) Dillarchie	14 14/1(+22%)	(10) Dillarchie 14/1, Stopped quickly when beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective over 3m and further but needs to prove ability remains after a layoff. Didn't run badly at Wetherby three weeks ago but needs to build on that effort today.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 -27%) Rebel Intentions	28 28/1(-27%)	(8) Rebel Intentions 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Enjoys making the running, effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, but looks regressive. Continues to drop down the weights but no return to form since joining this stable.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) Farmer Jimmy	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Farmer Jimmy 4/1, Returned to form when stepping up in trip, beaten 3l off 95 at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, handles soft and good ground, and remains consistent and competitive. Runner-up to progressive stablemate at Wetherby three weeks ago and he's one to consider.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +20%) Bollin Neil	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Bollin Neil 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off 56 here three starts back and ran a very promising second, beaten 4 1/2l off 100 last time. From a top course trainer, effective from 2m to 3m, back in form in both codes and holds a strong course record off a workable mark. Course specialist who was runner-up over C&D last month and holds solid claims.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 -157%) Apieceovfortune	9 9/1(-157%)	(7) Apieceovfortune 9/1, Did it cosily when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 81 at Southwell last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on good to soft and good ground; unexposed at 3m and remains on a workable mark. Won at Southwell on second handicap start and she could have plenty more to offer.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -267%) Second Subaltern	66 66/1(-267%)	(4) Second Subaltern 66/1, Pulled up in a conditions race at Necarne last time; multiple point winner but showed little under rules in Ireland; all to prove. 2-15 in points and 0-23 under rules; may be best watched on his stable debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +0%) Twoplacesatonetime	22 22/1(+0%)	(6) Twoplacesatonetime 22/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 3m on soft and good ground; runs off his last winning mark but must improve on reappearance form. Won off this mark at Hexham last November but not at the same level on just 3 runs since.
9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 0%) Kauto D'amour	6 6/1(0%)	(9) Kauto D'amour 6/1, Ran to form and rallied gamely when 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Trainer in form; returning from a long layoff but effective at 3m on good to soft and good ground. Well treated on old form but on a long losing run. Ended last season in pretty good form and returns with yard in fine form; one to consider.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (28/1 -367%) Sputnik	28 28/1(-367%)	(11) Sputnik 28/1, Returned to form when beaten 2l off 72 here last time over fences; has tumbled down weights; effective 3m on good; very interesting. Runner-up over fences here last month; 5lb higher now back hurdling but could go well.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (80/1 -264%) High Grounds	80 80/1(-264%)	(12) High Grounds 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective at 3m but needs to prove ability remains following a long layoff. 12yo who has struggled on his three starts this autumn following a very long absence.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -150%) Gustavo Goodway	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Gustavo Goodway 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2 3/4m but currently out of form for his new yard. Won at Down Royal in April but pulled up on his three starts since.

This could be a good time to side with FARMER JIMMY, who finished second to a better-fancied stable companion over 3m at Wetherby last month. The Mark Walford-trained five-year-old has the scope to improve over this slightly longer trip and won't need to raise his game by much to prevail in this company. Southwell winner Apieceovfortune is feared the most, with Harry Hales' 7lb claim more than negating a 6lb rise. Bollin Neil and the returning Kauto D'Amour are others to consider.

The 5yo mare APIECEOVFORTUNE won at Wetherby last month and her pedigree provides optimism she can rise through the ranks.

1	2 1st (2) (1/2 +25%) Regent's Stroll		0.5 1/2(+25%)																															(2) Regent's Stroll 1/2, Keen and went clear when making too much use of himself, finishing third beaten 6 1/4l in the John Francome Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Newbury last time; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft; can do better over fences when settling. Second in Grade 1 novice hurdle in April and third in Grade 2 novice chase last month.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -60%) Jeriko Du Reponet		2 2/1(-60%)																															(1) Jeriko Du Reponet 2/1, Bit keen and needed the run when second, beaten 12l, in a beginners' chase at Kempton last time; effective at 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; yet to match hurdle form over fences and needs the step up in trip. Very useful hurdler; second over fences at Kempton last month; can build on that.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Just two declared for this beginners' chase, but it's still a very interesting match because both JERIKO DU REPONET and Regent's Stroll were smart hurdlers. The latter was sent off favourite to beat The New Lion in last season's Challow and later finished half-a-length second in an Aintree Grade 1. He was a bit disappointing first time up over fences at Newbury, though, and perhaps Jeriko Du Reponet will be able to build on his Kempton second.

An exciting novice hurdler last season, REGENT'S STROLL made a good start to his chasing career last month.

12:45 Catterick (Class 4) 15f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (9/4 +32%) Manganese	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(8) Manganese 9/4, Badly hampered early but made a very promising debut when winning a Leicester maiden hurdle by 2l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; beat a useful flat performer on debut and may be capable of defying a penalty. Did very well to score on hurdle debut having nearly been carried out by a loose horse.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/8 +32%) Keyboard	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(7) Keyboard 15/8, Showed promise on debut when second beaten 2 1/4l in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle; effective from 14f to 16f and consistent on the flat; should benefit from that initial hurdling experience. Runner-up on hurdle debut at Musselburgh and open to improvement; in with a big shout.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Frank Stamper	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Frank Stamper 4/1, Raced a bit too freely when fourth beaten 6l in a Lingfield novice last time; trainer in form and returns after a short break, yard has enjoyed recent success with similar types; of interest. Ability on the Flat and makes hurdle debut with his new stable in tremendous form; player.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -120%) Captain Connor	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Captain Connor 22/1, Made a fair debut when third beaten 8l in a juvenile bumper at Huntingdon, finishing well late on; likely to improve now hurdling but still needs plenty more. Encouraging third in bumper on last month's debut; not ruled out now tackling hurdles.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +0%) Bouboule	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Bouboule 10/1, Improved to finish third beaten 2 1/2l in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle last time; effective at 2m and showing steady progress, with potential for further improvement judged on his flat form. 0-4 over hurdles but encouraging third at Musselburgh last time and he's in with a chance.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +30%) Genbu	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Genbu 14/1, Ran to form when third beaten 28l in a juvenile hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on good ground, and flat form indicates he'll handle some cut; the form of his win looks weak but he's generally consistent. 1-8 over hurdles and the win was a fortunate one; again looks vulnerable under 7lb penalty.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -300%) Some Boy Me	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Some Boy Me 100/1, Short of room but ran roughly to form when beaten 7 1/4l in a Southwell handicap last time; from a top course trainer yet has plenty to find starting out over hurdles. Some ability on the Flat but 0-5 and needs a sizeable step forward on this hurdle debut.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 -129%) Arctic Voyage	8 8/1(-129%)	(2) Arctic Voyage 8/1, Found little and ran slightly below form when fourth beaten 4l in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle last time; effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground; debut form was strong and could be capable of winning soon despite wind concerns. 6f Flat winner; hasn't convinced with his stamina for hurdling but has been running well.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -400%) Bebside	200 200/1(-400%)	(3) Bebside 200/1, Produced a poor run when comfortably held in a Newcastle handicap last time; from a top course trainer but regressive maiden has plenty to find starting out over hurdles. 18-race maiden on the Flat; lots of improvement is needed for the switch to hurdles.

The Flat-bred FRANK STAMPER, a 250,000-euro purchase as a two-year-old, is an interesting contender starting out over hurdles. Despite his pedigree suggesting otherwise, the son of Frankel shaped as if stamina would be his forte during his time of the Flat for Jamie Osborne. This looks a realistic target on his hurdling bow and support in the betting could be rewarding to follow. Keyboard was of similar ability on the level and appeals after a promising hurdles bow at Musselburgh. Arctic Voyage and Genbu also merit consideration.

The filly MANGANESE did extremely well to win on her hurdle debut at Leicester and can maintain her unbeaten record.

1	9 1st (9) (8/1 +50%) Lightonthewing	8 8/1(+50%)	(9) Lightonthewing 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Unreliable but well treated on best form; interesting. Five-time chase winner; pulled up (over hurdles) on seasonal debut; very hard to predict.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +50%) Shot Boii	3 3/1(+50%)	(3) Shot Boii 3/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 3m and acts on any ground. Generally consistent overall and should bounce back. Too inconsistent to rely upon but might be worth chancing off current mark.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 +75%) Tuscan Rose	5.5 11/2(+75%)	(8) Tuscan Rose 11/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter last time. Effective at 3m and acts on good to soft ground. Inconsistent and yet to make an impact over fences. Ended last season with a hurdle win but well beaten in both chases this autumn.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +0%) The Big Reveal	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) The Big Reveal 3/1, Won by 3l off 79 at Lingfield two starts ago, then ran to form when second beaten 9l off 86 last time. Effective at 3m and acts on any ground. Generally consistent performer. Ready winner at Lingfield last month; well held in second since; may progress again.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 +17%) Edgewell	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(5) Edgewell 15/2, Outpaced and jumped poorly but returned to form in first-time blinkers when beaten 2 1/4l off 93 at Windsor last time. Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good ground. On a winning mark and could build on that revival. Battled on well from poor position for close fourth behind School For Scandal last month.
6th	10 6th (10) (18/1 +64%) Spotty Dog	18 18/1(+64%)	(10) Spotty Dog 18/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. In good form earlier and effective over 3m+, needs decent ground. Not the force of old but had been running well earlier this year. Well beaten on seasonal debut but might come on for the run and current mark is workable.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 -100%) School For Scandal	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) School For Scandal 11/1, Returned to form with a positive ride, landing a handicap by a neck off 79 at Windsor last time. Effective from 2m7f to 3m2f and acts on good ground, though a revised mark asks more. 5-33 over fences after last month's narrow Windsor win; this C&D also suits.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (11/1 +8%) Anytrixwilldo	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Anytrixwilldo 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford last time after a short break. Effective at 3m and acts on good to firm and good ground, though remains inconsistent. Won four-runner race in April but has very mixed record over fences; others preferred.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (9/1 +55%) Stopherandgo	9 9/1(+55%)	(12) Stopherandgo 9/1, Found little and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and has a bit to find. Not disgraced over hurdles last month but does not have compelling record in recent years.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (25/1 +11%) Hilltown	25 25/1(+11%)	(11) Hilltown 25/1, Outpaced and possibly still needed the run when 64l third in a handicap chase at Plumpton last time. Effective over 3m+ and acts on any ground. Below par this year but the handicapper is easing the task. Remote when third at Plumpton recently; cheekpieces given another whirl here.

THE BIG REVEAL arrives in good nick and although he was beaten by nine lengths at Chepstow latest, that was still a solid effort. While his impressive Lingfield victory last month remains fresh in the memory, Grace Harris' gelding is put forward as the one to beat. Of the others, it's worth considering both Redbridge Rambler and School For Scandal.

Last month's seasonal debut was disappointing but SHOT BOII will be dangerous off his current mark if back on song.

1	1 1st (1) (4/6 +39%) Passing Pleasure	0.666667 4/6(+39%)	(1) Passing Pleasure 4/6, Travelled well and went clear cosily, showing improvement in first-time tongue tie when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a mark of 100 at Musselburgh last time; well treated off same mark starting out over fences; claims obvious. Comfortable win off this mark over hurdles last week; major player if taking to this game.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +33%) Bridge Court	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Bridge Court 12/1, Outpaced and needing the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; inconsistent hurdler; plenty more required now chasing. Disappointing in h'cap hurdles but this point runner-up now tackles fences in cheekpieces.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -118%) Defence Witness	12 12/1(-118%)	(4) Defence Witness 12/1, Below form back up in trip when beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Cartmel last time; effective between 2 1/2m and 3m; inconsistent but capable off this mark. Won at Cartmel in May and not ruled out now back down in trip following a break.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +13%) Bataillon	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(2) Bataillon 13/2, Outpaced and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; had been in good form prior and looks a value selection based on the balance of form with promise of more to come over fences. Southern raider; 0-8 over hurdles but no surprise to see a big run on chase debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 -17%) Mr Mahler	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(6) Mr Mahler 7/2, Ran to form but just flattened out late when second, beaten 14l, in a handicap chase at Market Rasen latest; trainer in form; effective at 2-2 1/2m and suited by decent ground; consistent performer. Not at the top of his game this autumn but in the picture on January's C&D second.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (33/1 -18%) Annie Don	33 33/1(-18%)	(7) Annie Don 33/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective at around 2m4f and acts on good ground; hard to fancy. She's dropped down the weights but tailed off on her last two starts and remains a maiden.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (125/1 -213%) Kuriosa	125 125/1(-213%)	(5) Kuriosa 125/1, Made mistakes and needed the run after a wind operation when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; this is his second run after the procedure; effective at around 2 1/2m but yet to show anything in points or under rules. Pulled up at 40-1 at Sedgefield on his recent stable and chasing debut; hard to fancy.

PASSING PLEASURE registered a cosy success over hurdles at Musselburgh last week and this point-to-point recruit could have even more to offer now he tackles regulation fences. Mr Mahler has a similar background and another to seriously consider with his yard in excellent form. However, he was turned over as the 6/4 favourite last time and needs to bounce back. With that in mind, Defence Witness could be a bigger danger to the selection, with cutting back in trip in his favour.

Having won comfortably off this mark over hurdles last week, PASSING PLEASURE is taken to follow up on his chase debut.

1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +10%) Hold The Serve	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(4) Hold The Serve 9/2, Outpaced and disappointing on debut given market support when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time, acts on soft and good ground, and may improve now up in trip. Irish point winner; flopped on rules debut but had wind op soon after; remains of interest.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +0%) Gatineau Park	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Gatineau Park 10/3, Ran to form when benefitting from a drop in grade to win a maiden hurdle at Lingfield by 1/2l last time. Effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on soft, and there could be more to come with time. Won six-runner Lingfield maiden last month; has more to do here but might improve again.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/4 +20%) Piping Rock	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(9) Piping Rock 6/4, Made mistakes but showed plenty of promise on debut when second, beaten 2l in a maiden hurdle at Windsor last time. The trainer is in form, effective at 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, and should progress further. Made pleasing start to rules career when clear second at Windsor last month; contender.
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 -50%) Khafre	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(7) Khafre 15/2, Made a promising debut in a strong race when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft, and as a point winner he should progress from his debut now down in class. Irish point winner; upped in trip after fairly encouraging hurdle debut at Cheltenham (2m).
5th	2 5th (2) (200/1 -60%) Badentaggart	200 200/1(-60%)	(2) Badentaggart 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time and he acts on soft ground but still has plenty to prove. Pulled up when 200-1 for hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m3f) six weeks ago.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Lancelot D'alene	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Lancelot D'alene 20/1, Outpaced on a poor debut when well beaten in a bumper at Chepstow last time. Returns from a short break and faces a stiff task here. Close second on point debut but well beaten in Chepstow bumper in October.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +56%) Joyau Allen	4 4/1(+56%)	(6) Joyau Allen 4/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last time on his second run after wind surgery. Effective at around 2m and acts on heavy ground. His bumper form is working out well and he could get involved. Bumper winner; had excuse (bled) when pulled up on hurdle debut; remains a good prospect.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 0%) Harley's Pride	80 80/1(0%)	(10) Harley's Pride 80/1, Outpaced and never threatened on hurdle and stable debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at around 2m and acts on good ground but may need more time over hurdles. Not beaten far in her two bumpers but struggled on hurdle debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -300%) Hadrianus	28 28/1(-300%)	(3) Hadrianus 28/1, Below form after perhaps making too much use of himself when down the field in a Hamilton handicap most recently. Absent for a long period and needs to find more. Very useful on the Flat in spring 2023; absent since some poor runs the following summer.
10th	5 10th (5) (100/1 -25%) Jackomy	100 100/1(-25%)	(5) Jackomy 100/1, Outpaced but improved from his debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2–2 1/2m but may require more time under rules. Safely held on first two hurdling starts; probably one for handicaps.

PIPING ROCK is the one they all have to beat. Third in an Irish point-to-point earlier in the year, Emma Lavelle's charge made a pleasing Rules bow when second behind a nice type at Windsor on his hurdling debut, an outing he's sure to have improved for. Gatineau Park carries a penalty for winning a maiden hurdle at Lingfield and is noted along with Khafre.

Joyau Allen and Hold The Serve can improve but Windsor runner-up PIPING ROCK looks less risky and is given the vote.

1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -67%) Noonetellsmenothin	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Noonetellsmenothin 10/1, Outpaced but ran to form when 3l third in a bumper at Ludlow on his latest outing; off a short break; has an outside chance with promise of more to come now hurdling up in trip. Promise in bumpers and he's shaped as though he will benefit from this longer trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 -50%) Court Canyon	1.875 15/8(-50%)	(1) Court Canyon 15/8, Improved when stepped up in trip to win a maiden hurdle at Clonmel by 1 1/4l last time; off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; likely to progress further over hurdles from a 3m point winner. Won on hurdle debut at Clonmel and this Irish raider holds strong claims under a penalty.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/2 +25%) Alba Crus	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(2) Alba Crus 15/2, Stopped quickly after a bad error and ran below form in a good-quality maiden hurdle at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m; bumper win working out well and likely to improve over hurdles when dropped in class. Bumper winner; tailed off on hurdle debut but in a warm race and he's had a wind op since.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 +56%) Western Mount	11 11/1(+56%)	(6) Western Mount 11/1, Made mistakes but showed some improvement for debut experience when fourth, beaten 13l in a novice hurdle here last time; effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; likely to need more time over hurdles. Hasn't shown enough across his four starts to suggest he'll be making an impact today.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/2 +62%) William Yeats	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(7) William Yeats 5/2, Quickened and improved for debut experience when winning a maiden bumper at Sedgefield by 7 1/2l last time; could play a part with step up in trip likely to suit on hurdles debut. Won a bumper at Sedgefield; player if transferring promise to hurdles at the first attempt.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 +67%) Queen Roslyn	22 22/1(+67%)	(10) Queen Roslyn 22/1, Never put into the race and well beaten in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time; effective at 2m; in good form on the Flat since a wind operation; more to come over hurdles but perhaps in handicaps.

Point winner COURT CANYON couldn't land a telling blow in a couple of bumpers in Ireland, but made his hurdling debut at Clonmel a winning one and rates a smart enough prospect to be able to give these rivals weight and a beating. William Yeats won a Sedgefield bumper and now goes hurdling for an upwardly-mobile yard. He heads the list of dangers from Joeybottles.

Top of the list is CARD LADY, who was third at Sedgefield last time and is just the type to continue to progress for Ruth Jefferson.

SWINGIN SAFARI fell at the last when still in contention on his hurdling bow at Chepstow last month. Paul Nicholls has given him time to get over that mishap and he should be up to winning a maiden hurdle like this judged on the strength of his bumper form. Bespoke Tailor finished third at Cheltenham latest and heads the list of dangers from Constellation Walk.

Course bumper winner SWINGIN SAFARI was in contention before his last-flight fall at Chepstow, and that form has worked out well.

SOMEBODYCOMEGETHER has been in good form under both codes, finishing second here on the Flat in October before reverting to hurdles and posting another solid effort in defeat at Sedgefield. She's going to win a race like this sooner rather than later and gets the nod ahead of Hexham runner-up Suitably Surprised. It's also worth keeping an eye on Caman Rocco.

This could go to STELLARMASTERPIECE (nap), who is lightly raced over hurdles and has won four times on the Flat here.

NOAHSGREATRAINBOW has shown some promise on both starts over hurdles this campaign after disappointing twice last season. Now making his chase/handicap debut, Harry Derham's gelding appears to have a decent opportunity to strike. Diplomatic Ash returned from a break to fill the runner-up spot at Fontwell and may have more improvement to come, while Brulure Noire and Ede'iffs Rock appear best of the remainder.

After a pleasing step forward over hurdles last month, useful bumper performer NOAHSGREATRAINBOW can progress again over fences.

Prospect House is a model of consistency and it would come as no surprise if he got back in the winning groove, but preference is for ZERO TOLERANCE. Dropping back in trip is a really interesting angle, especially given he might get left alone on the lead in this small field. Keep an eye on Thurles fourth Toon Town too.

Irish challenger TOON TOWN has been in pretty good heart on his last two outings and is taken to get off the mark over fences.

Best at around 2m on a sound surface but returns from a long absence. Sole attempt over C&D resulted in a success off current mark in October 2024.

YOUNG ENDLESS attempted to make it a fourth win on the bounce when denied at Lingfield last Monday. However, the six-year-old still produced a fine effort in defeat and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go one better. Educate has to be respected stepping back up in trip judged on his penultimate second over C&D, while others to note are Billy Bathgate and Cosmic Soul.

Preference is for EDUCATE who looks likely to benefit from this step back up in distance. Prince Quattro is second pick.

CLAY PIGEONS is really interesting representing the Willie Mullins stable and, although he has to concede weight all round in the finale, the Cork winner should have too much class for them. A point-to-point winner last year, he can get the better of Diamond White, who finished second between the flags in Ireland earlier this year, and Let It Settle.

An interesting little field in which CLAY PIGEONS carries a penalty but there was lots to like about his win at Cork.

Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good ground. In good form in both codes and not fully exposed over hurdles.

Effective at 2m. A 12f flat winner who could improve in hurdle handicaps. Placed over C&D on handicap debut; 3lb wrong in higher-grade race today; still considered.

Effective between 2m and 2½m, acts on soft, good to soft, and good ground but inconsistent. Ran okay over 2m4f in September but this drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and should come on for that latest outing. Close fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut; may still have potential.

RAILWAY BELL has an absence to overcome, which is clearly a concern, but she looked a smart prospect when winning on her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter in November last year and could be worth chancing now sent handicapping for the first time off 114. Poet Laureate may represent some each-way value, but the main danger is the hat-trick seeking Birthday Angel.

The answer might be SAGE GREEN, who ran well for a long way when fifth at Cheltenham last month. Oakley's Way is second choice.

In good form since switched to nurseries, including C&D; a first win may well be imminent.

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

The drop back to 7f is definitely a positive for Urgent Call having weakened again in the closing stages when tackling further at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. Balthamos is likely to be competitive once again, but it would be no surprise if JACKABI shed the maiden tag. Runner-up on both nursery starts of late, Ian Williams' gelding has been found a suitable opportunity.

The filly LUMINARE is open to improvement on her second start back from a break and earns the vote ahead of Jackabi.

SUNLIT SEA has shaped with enough promise on both starts in nursery company to suggest she might gain her first career victory. The daughter of Mehmas finished third at Chelmsford earlier in the month and a repeat of that effort may suffice. Mystical Land drops to 5f for the first time and that could yield some improvement, while his stablemate Golden Havana (fifth) might reverse C&D form with Data Fata Secutus (fourth) with blinkers applied.

This may be a good opportunity for SUNLIT SEA, who has been a good third on both nursery starts. Mystical Land is feared.

INSPIRED should take some stopping on the evidence of his encouraging debut run here in January. He was well fancied that day and, given connections, should be fit and ready to do himself justice on his return. Glamorous Angela has had a couple of attempts and was beaten by the narrowest of margins here last time. She is noted along with Rajstar.

Progress from INSPIRED looks likely provided he returns from an 11-month absence in good order, while Glamorous Angela is respected.

10th	5 10th (5) (15/2 -15%) Carolus Magnus	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(5) Carolus Magnus 15/2, Won by 2 1/4l off 58 at Musselburgh in October and back to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 64 last time. Blinkers on for the first time. Effective at 7f or 8f and acts on any going except heavy. Not the most consistent but on a competitive mark. 0-9 on AW but ran well at Wolverhampton on Saturday; possibilities if taking to blinkers.
11th	1 11th (1) (7/1 -17%) Blufferonthebus	7 7/1(-17%)	(1) Blufferonthebus 7/1, Had plenty to do but produced a big late run to win a handicap by a short head off 63 here last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on soft, good and all-weather. Back in form with a bit more to come off a workable mark. Came from an unpromising position to get up in the final strides over C&D last time.
12th	4 12th (4) (9/1 +10%) Wichahpi	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Wichahpi 9/1, Finished well when given too much to do, beaten 3l off 65 at Southwell last time. Likes to make the running and is suited by 6f or 7f. Acts on any surface and the longer trip may help; a definite threat. Last couple of 6f efforts suggest this return to 7f is worth exploring; on a handy mark.

Another tough handicap for punters to solve here and FRONT GUNNER is the safe play. He has improved since switching to the all-weather in September and there didn't appear to be any fluke about his latest C&D triumph. Blufferonthebus is on a hat-trick and must be taken seriously, as should Carolus Magnus, who is sporting blinkers for the first time.

The votes goes to hat-trick seeker BLUFFERONTHEBUS (nap), ahead of Wichahpi.

Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather surfaces. Returns from a break after ending his last campaign on a low note. Defied a much higher mark in the first of two AW attempts; unexposed in this sphere.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -23%) Pit Boss	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Pit Boss 8/1, Didn't find much for the amateur when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Was in good form before that and is effective at 6/7f. Acts on all-weather and good to firm ground, and could return to form with a stronger ride. Maiden who has respectable claims on his three Newcastle efforts in November.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/3 +5%) Superior Council	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(8) Superior Council 10/3, Ran to form when third, beaten 2 1/2l off 50 last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather surfaces.

4	10 4th (10) (18/1 -13%) Yaahobby	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Yaahobby 18/1, Might have finished a length closer with a clear run but still below par when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7/8f on all-weather surfaces but has not won for over a year. Mixed results since returning from summer break and hasn't won for 14 months.

Has shown form at 6f on all-weather surfaces but has had wind issues and faces another layoff. Regressive maiden; others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 +22%) Laurens Dream	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Laurens Dream 7/1, Never involved after missing the break when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time. Effective from 5-7f and acts on all-weather surfaces. The return to 6f should help, though recent form has been below expectations. Completed a Newcastle double in November 2024; attractively weighted back here.
7th	9 7th (9) (5/1 -43%) Call Glory	5 5/1(-43%)	(9) Call Glory 5/1, Back to form when beaten 1/2l off 49 here last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather surfaces. On a competitive mark but can be somewhat unpredictable. On a long losing sequence but went close over C&D last week; good chance off 2lb lower.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 +12%) Green Valentine	22 22/1(+12%)	(4) Green Valentine 22/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 48 here on her penultimate start but ran poorly when raised 5lb last time. Ridden by a leading course jockey and effective at 5/6f on the all-weather. Has the ability but is inconsistent. Failed to beat a rival last week when bidding for a C&D double.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -56%) Bella Love	28 28/1(-56%)	(2) Bella Love 28/1, Produced a poor effort when beaten 9l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time after a short break. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather surfaces. Needs to bounce back after two disappointing runs. Maiden whose chance depends on the effects of wind surgery.
10th	14 10th (14) (40/1 +0%) Bernie The Bear	40 40/1(+0%)	(14) Bernie The Bear 40/1, Made plenty of use of his speed but produced a very poor effort when down the field here most recently. Effective at 6/7f on all-weather surfaces but badly out of form. Has achieved little in two C&D events since returning from a break.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -12%) Bothy Park	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Bothy Park 28/1, Ran to her current level when beaten 3 1/4l off 45 here last time. Effective at 5/6f on all-weather surfaces. Off a short break and her mark looks stiff, but the drop back to 6f should suit. Maiden; made the frame over C&D on penultimate start.
12th	6 12th (6) (8/1 -14%) Penny Mountain	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Penny Mountain 8/1, Ran to her ability when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f on the all-weather, though her current mark looks on the high side. Maiden; ran with some promise, amid traffic issues, over C&D last time.
13th	11 13th (11) (50/1 -52%) Grown Ups	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Grown Ups 50/1, Needed the run badly after a break on handicap debut when down the field here last time. Bred to be effective at 6/7f but has yet to produce any worthwhile form. Weak claims on form; second start for new stable.

SUPERIOR COUNCIL won over C&D last month and has backed that effort up by hitting the frame in two subsequent outings at this venue. Iain Jardine's gelding gets the vote ahead of Pit Boss, who can bounce back from his latest effort here. Call Glory was runner-up over C&D last Tuesday and has to enter calculations off a 2lb lower mark.

Off an attractive mark returned to AW, Irish raider MOUNT RUAPEHU looks particularly interesting. Call Glory is second pick.

1	8 1st (8) (10/3 -11%) Goldmoyne	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(8) Goldmoyne 10/3, Just below form down in trip at a sharper track when beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective 6-8f and suited by a sound surface. The return to Newcastle should suit but may want slightly further. Disappointing last time but promising stable debut here previously; worth a second look.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 -10%) Spartan Fighter	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Spartan Fighter 11/1, Ran to his current level when beaten 3l off 45 here last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on a sound surface; his mark looks workable and he appears in solid form. Beaten 21 times since his last win but positive performances here on last two starts.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 +29%) Instant Bond	5 5/1(+29%)	(3) Instant Bond 5/1, Back to form down in trip when beaten a length off 54 here last time. Probably effective from 5f to 7f and acts on AW; largely consistent and the C&D suit. 0-10 but close third over C&D last week and can be bang there once more.
4	11 4th (11) (28/1 -56%) Fircombe Hall	28 28/1(-56%)	(11) Fircombe Hall 28/1, Below par, perhaps with too much to do, when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on AW; a past C&D winner but his form looks to be tailing off. Six-time C&D winner who was making headway when baulked over C&D 11 days ago.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 -10%) Teardrops	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(2) Teardrops 11/4, Ran at least to form when landing a handicap by a head off 52 here last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on AW; a stiff 6f and strong pace would help but his mark remains viable. 3yo who has won over C&D on his last two starts and is clearly progressive.
6th	13 6th (13) (12/1 +25%) Rory	12 12/1(+25%)	(13) Rory 12/1, Poor effort up in trip when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6/7f and acts on any surface; form inconsistent but a stiff 6f looks a positive. On long losing sequence but twice made the frame over C&D this autumn; not ruled out e-w.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +45%) Chris's Mate	12 12/1(+45%)	(12) Chris's Mate 12/1, Run probably reflected his ability when beaten 2 1/4l off 45 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective 6-8f and acts on AW; his mark looks about right. Two reasonable performances of late following a long absence but needs something extra.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 +34%) Sharp Call	33 33/1(+34%)	(9) Sharp Call 33/1, Ran very poorly when finishing down the field in a handicap at Pontefract most recently. Blinkers on for the first time; effective at 7f and acts on AW. Off a break after being in very poor form. Her mark has tumbled but 0-10 and hard to fancy on what she was showing in the summer.
9th	5 9th (5) (17/2 -21%) Mister Sky Blue	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(5) Mister Sky Blue 17/2, Finished best after an interrupted run when fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap here latest. Suited by 6f and acts on any surface; has a chance at best but often finds trouble in running. He's not easy to win with but he's consistent & there's a good chance he'll be in the mix.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 +33%) Roaring Ralph	12 12/1(+33%)	(1) Roaring Ralph 12/1, Below form again when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; visor on for the first time. Suited by 6/7f and acts on a sound surface, but his last two runs have been poor. Very well handicapped on C&D form as recent as March but only 7th over C&D on last 2 runs.
11th	4 11th (4) (20/1 -82%) Back Before Dark	20 20/1(-82%)	(4) Back Before Dark 20/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 58 at Hamilton last time. Suited by 6f and off a break, returning to AW from turf; her mark looks workable. Second at Hamilton last time; 5lb lower mark on AW but something to prove on the surface.
12th	6 12th (6) (16/1 -14%) The Gay Blade	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) The Gay Blade 16/1, Made too much use of when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break; effective at 6/7f and acts on any surface, though his form is in and out. Below par in October but often runs well after a break & this C&D winner has a handy mark.
13th	7 13th (7) (66/1 -65%) Wee Nan	66 66/1(-65%)	(7) Wee Nan 66/1, Poor effort on handicap debut when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Returns from a short break after a wind operation; probably effective over 6f on AW but has little worthwhile form and is hard to assess. Has hinted at promise here but she finished last on handicap debut here; wind op since.
14th	14 14th (14) (100/1 -52%) Sadiiki	100 100/1(-52%)	(14) Sadiiki 100/1, Sat much too far back on reappearance when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on AW; has little worthwhile form but was not seen to best effect last time. Merely 7th over C&D in first 2 handicaps, the latest last week, & improvement is necessary.

TEARDROPS has progressed well in handicap company and arrives seeking a C&D hat-trick. Richard Spencer's charge defied a penalty last time and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him. Mister Sky Blue didn't get a clear run here last week and is expected to be in the mix once again. Spartan Fighter, Back Before Dark and Instant Bond appear best of the remainder.

The progressive 3yo TEARDROPS is taken to complete a C&D hat-trick. C&D winner The Gay Blade could be a big danger.

1	9 1st (9) (6/1 +33%) Our Absent Friends	6 6/1(+33%)	(9) Our Absent Friends 6/1, Matched previous effort when fifth, beaten 3l off 62 last time on returning to the all-weather. Suited by 5f and acts on all surfaces except heavy. Better recent form has come on turf. On a fair mark and running okay of late but he needs to raise his game to win.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +20%) Ganesha	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Ganesha 4/1, Returned to best form when beaten a head off 62 here last time. Suited by 5f and acts on any surface. Up a couple of pounds but still fairly treated. C&D win in March came off 3lb higher; good second here latest; contender.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/2 +10%) Bibendum	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(7) Bibendum 9/2, Travelled best and quickened away to score cosily by 2l off 56 here last time. Drawn wide. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather. Still on a competitive mark. Impressive over C&D last month but a 6lb rise and stronger opposition asks more of him.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +47%) Harb	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(3) Harb 17/2, Eased down after finding nothing when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Suited by 5/6f and acts on any surface. Latest effort a concern after consistent runs prior, though his mark is easing. Form has dipped here on his last two starts; needs the drop in class to revive fortunes.
5th	13 5th (13) (28/1 -27%) Lady Of The Garr	28 28/1(-27%)	(13) Lady Of The Garr 28/1, Possibly injured leaving the stalls and ran poorly when tried in cheekpieces here last time. In good form prior and trainer going well. Best at 5f on all-weather. Off a break; generally consistent but can start awkwardly. Poor run over C&D in October and she can blow the start; others appeal more.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +43%) Water Of Leith	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Water Of Leith 4/1, Made too much use of when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5/6f and probably acts on any surface. Form has tailed off but his mark is easing. Drop to Class 6 in his favour and he's likely to step up on some modest recent efforts.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -100%) Good Point	18 18/1(-100%)	(6) Good Point 18/1, Matched previous effort when beaten 2 1/2l off 65 at Wolverhampton last time from a wide draw. Suited by 5f and acts on all-weather. Running well but a fraction below his official mark. Modest strike-rate but on a good mark on recent best; each-way claims.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/1 -6%) Thunderstorm Katie	9 9/1(-6%)	(8) Thunderstorm Katie 9/1, Yard won this race last year. Narrowly scored off 59 here on her penultimate start before needing the run last time. Effective at 5–6f and acts on all surfaces. Drop back to 5f may help and she could go well. Five wins since July, including C&D; not at her best over 6f; could revive back at 5f.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -106%) Invincible Annice	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Invincible Annice 33/1, Won by 1 1/2l off 50 here three starts ago. Probably went too hard last time. Trainer in form. Drawn wide. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather. Has lost form recently. C&D winner last month but she has come up short twice since; others appeal more.
10th	1 10th (1) (9/1 -64%) Carlton And Co	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Carlton And Co 9/1, Produced a game effort when beaten a head off 64 last time, showing improvement up 5lb. Effective over 6/7f and acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather. Remains competitively handicapped. In good form at present and latest Chelmsford secnd was a solid effort; high on the list.
11th	5 11th (5) (12/1 +0%) High Opinion	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) High Opinion 12/1, Ran below form on soft when beaten 7 1/4l in a Nottingham handicap last time. Effective at 5f and acts on all-weather. Returns from a break having lost form before it. C&D winner; not at his best of late but drops in class now returning to AW.
12th	11 12th (11) (28/1 -75%) Tickets	28 28/1(-75%)	(11) Tickets 28/1, Ran close to form when beaten 3l off 57 here last time. Suited by 6f but effective at 5f on all-weather. Usually campaigned over 6f but has run well here at the minimum trip. Needs to step up on recent efforts. Latest run was a step back in the right direction; needs strong pace at 5f but capable.
13th	12 13th (12) (80/1 -264%) Stroxx	80 80/1(-264%)	(12) Stroxx 80/1, Below form when beaten 3l off 51 at Nottingham last time. Drawn wide. Effective at 5/6f on all-weather. Returns from a long break and may need the run. C&D winner; fair mark but may come on for this first start since May.

THUNDERSTORM KATIE won twice over 5f in October before not running to her best when returning to 6f here a fortnight ago. However, she is likely to prove much happier dropping back in trip and is taken to come out on top. Carlton And Co went close under a 5lb penalty at Chelmsford and she can go well along with Bibendum, who went up 6lb for scoring here last month.

Topweight CARLTON AND CO arrives in top form and can prove too strong for Tickets and Water Of Leith.

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.
