1	1 1st (1) (6/1 +63%) Not Staying Long		6 6/1(+63%)																															(1) Not Staying Long 6/1, Winner of 25.3f novice hurdle here during first stint with Patrick Neville in February 2023 and improved when landing a mares' Ayr handicap over a similar trip for Mike Smith last winter. Below par since, though, and needs to get back on track now switched to fences having rejoined former yard. Off since May; makes chase debut from workable mark but would appeal more over further.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -60%) Hazard Collonges		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Hazard Collonges 16/1, Still looking for first success but been cut plenty of slack by assessor and shaped well when 1¾ lengths last of 4 to Imperial Rule over this C&D last month. Down another 3 lb and reproduction of that effort will see him competitive. Built up big lead in tactical race here last month but still finished last of four.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -21%) Baby Chou		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Baby Chou 40/1, Successful on one of her 4 starts between the flags but she hasn't shown enough under Rules to warrant serious consideration here. Well beaten on both starts for new stable last month and now 0-13 under rules.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +30%) Goguenard		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Goguenard 14/1, Progressed well switched to handicap hurdles last season, again showing a good attitude when scoring for the third time at Stratford (2¾m, heavy) in March. However, there have been very few positives to take from his 3 subsequent appearances, including on chase debut at Market Rasen last time. Won three slow-ground hurdles in early part of year; pulled up on seasonal/chase debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (85/40 +39%) Natural Ability		2.125 85/40(+39%)																															(2) Natural Ability 85/40, Maiden hurdler/chaser in Ireland who shaped well on the first of 2 starts for Adrian Keatley at Sedgefield (16.4f, good) in September. Finally opened his account starting out for this yard over the same C&D last month and 5 lb rise looks manageable, so he's to consider. Made winning stable debut last month and a subsequent 5lb rise does not look excessive.
3	3 |U| (3) (4/1 +50%) Presenting Pete		4 4/1(+50%)																															(3) Presenting Pete 4/1, Modest handicap hurdler who put in a good shift when runner-up on chase debut at Sedgefield (21f, good to soft) in October. Has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts in this sphere but couldn't rule out off this reduced mark (now 10 lb below latest winning hurdles mark) all the same. Didn't run badly when last of five at Doncaster last month and is on a good mark now.
10	10 |PU| (10) (4/1 +64%) She Has Notions		4 4/1(+64%)																															(10) She Has Notions 4/1, Left previous efforts behind when scoring at Worcester in July but isn't the most consistent and typically failed to back that up on next 2 starts. Better effort when third with visor refitted at Ludlow last time but whether he will be in the same form here is anybody's guess. Won in the summer and ran okay last time but is too inconsistent to rely upon.
7	7 |PU| (7) (8/1 +0%) Largy Valley		8 8/1(+0%)																															(7) Largy Valley 8/1, Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in Ayr bumper for Stuart Crawford in 2022. It's been all downhill since, though, and he'll need to leave the level of form he showed over hurdles well behind in order to make a successful start in this sphere. Well beaten in three novice hurdles but may fare better in handicap chases.

NATURAL ABILITY made a victorious start for the Chris Grant stable when scoring in good style over an extended 2m at Sedgefield last month and he only has a 5lb higher mark to contend with. The step up in distance could prove to be a good move and he can record a double. Hawkseye View occupied the runner-up berth in a stronger event at Newcastle last time and has to be respected. Of the remainder, She Has Notions makes the most appeal.

If HAWKSEYE VIEW at least matches the form of his recent Newcastle second he will prove a tough nut to crack. Indeed, a last-fence mistake probably cost him that race and a 2 lb rise is negligible. Having raised his game when scoring on debut for this yard last month, Natural Ability is an obvious threat and Hazard Collonges also makes some appeal having taken a step forward over this C&D last time.

Class-dropper PRESENTING PETE didn't run badly on his latest outing and is now well handicapped on his Sedgefield second in October.

1	7 1st (7) (11/10 +56%) Prophesea		1.1 11/10(+56%)																															(7) Prophesea 11/10, Successful pointer who made a winning debut under Rules in an Exeter bumper in April. Stepped up on his low-key hurdles debut when third of 13 in a Chepstow maiden (good) last time and, with the promise of better to come, he is a compelling candidate. Made up a lot of late ground from off the pace to be third at Chepstow last month.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +70%) J J Moon		3 3/1(+70%)																															(4) J J Moon 3/1, Much improved when making third bumper start a winning one at Southwell in May. Disappointed both starts over hurdles since but still early days in this sphere. Bumper winner beaten 14l and 45l in his runs over hurdles and now has a bit to prove.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 +18%) Kingston Gent		18 18/1(+18%)																															(6) Kingston Gent 18/1, Successful on the second of his 2 starts between the flags during the spring. However, finished down the field starting out under Rules at Ffos Las and is probably one for handicaps later on. Never threatened to take a hand on hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m4f) when a 50-1 chance.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -87%) Keel Strand		14 14/1(-87%)																															(5) Keel Strand 14/1, €75,000 3-y-o, €120,000 4-y-o, Authorized gelding. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 28) but dropped away in a bumper at Chepstow on Rules bow. Still early days. Stable was quiet when tailed off in a Chepstow bumper and should do better.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 -160%) George Henry		6.5 13/2(-160%)																															(3) George Henry 13/2, From a fairly useful jumping family and not without promise in a couple of bumpers last season. Offered something to work on sent hurdling when sixth at Exeter on return so likely to figure with extra distance sure to suit. Left bumper form behind with a fairly close sixth at Exeter (2m); bred for this far.
6th	13 6th (13) (125/1 +17%) Sheeka Supreme		125 125/1(+17%)																															(13) Sheeka Supreme 125/1, Successful in Irish points in October 2022 but little show in 2 races over hurdles this autumn. Point winner; quiet in two runs over hurdles following a long absence.
7th	1 7th (1) (15/2 -275%) Vaguely Royal		7.5 15/2(-275%)																															(1) Vaguely Royal 15/2, Useful stayer on the Flat for the Gosden stable and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for new connections when seeing off 15 rivals in maiden here (15f, good) in October. Unable to land odds under a penalty at Exeter since but step up in trip should suit. Course winner with solid claims in today's company even with the penalty; should stay.
8th	10 8th (10) (250/1 -25%) Banny Hill Lass		250 250/1(-25%)																															(10) Banny Hill Lass 250/1, Down the field in bumpers and has fared no better in 2 starts over hurdles this season. Tongue strap now reached for. Never counted in three bumpers and a similar tale so far over hurdles.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 +25%) Super Saint		12 12/1(+25%)																															(9) Super Saint 12/1, Cost a bit and produced a promising first effort amid inexperience when fourth in a Taunton bumper in March, not knocked about. Failed to progress at Warwick next time, however, and made a discouraging debut in this sphere after 7 months off at Exeter. Headgear on. Bumper promise but was tired and beaten when refusing late on at Exeter last month.
10th	2 10th (2) (200/1 +0%) Falstaff		200 200/1(+0%)																															(2) Falstaff 200/1, Well held in bumper/both starts over hurdles. Tailed off in all his runs, the last twice over hurdles; one for handicaps.
11th	8 11th (8) (100/1 +0%) River Run Free		100 100/1(+0%)																															(8) River Run Free 100/1, Placed both completed starts in Irish points but well held in novice/maiden hurdle at Chepstow. Ability in points but it's been a low-key start over hurdles, twice finishing tailed off.
12	12 |PU| (12) (200/1 -33%) Janespriceless		200 200/1(-33%)																															(12) Janespriceless 200/1, Jelani mare. Dam unraced. Failed to complete both starts in points. Wears tongue strap. Failed to complete in her two points and this is a belated first run under rules.
11	11 |PU| (11) (250/1 -25%) Bellever Tor		250 250/1(-25%)																															(11) Bellever Tor 250/1, Showed nothing in novice/maiden hurdle at Chepstow. Tailed off in two visits to Chepstow (2m hurdles) and couldn't entertain backing her.

Paul Nicholls has a trio of chances and perhaps George Henry, who showed promise on his hurdling bow/first run following wind surgery, is the best of them. However the vote goes to VAGUELY ROYAL, who might not have been suited by attempting to make all of the running at Exeter last month. A course winner in October, he should get a better setup. Prophesea is another to consider.

Bumper-winner PROPHESEA left his hurdling debut form behind when third at Chepstow last month, knocking the eye out with his flourish into the placings from some way back, and he's preferred to penalised-winner Vaguely Royal and potential-improver George Henry in what looks a thin race despite the numbers.

This isn't a strong race and PROPHESEA should have as good a chance as any if reproducing his latest Chepstow effort.

1	2 1st (2) (1/4 +44%) Wise Eagle		0.25 1/4(+44%)																															(2) Wise Eagle 1/4, Useful performer at up to 2¼m on the Flat who sauntered home in a 2m Musselburgh maiden last month. Could be plenty more to come from him in this sphere and will be hard to beat. Smart on the Flat at his best and easily won Musselburgh maiden hurdle last month.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -56%) Serious Chat		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(1) Serious Chat 7/2, Bumper winner who built on an encouraging Wetherby hurdle debut when winning a weak race back there (2½m, good) last month. Cheekpieces are added now. Likely capable of better again. Comfortably won modest Wetherby novice last month; should give another good account here.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +60%) Tyson Magoo		10 10/1(+60%)																															(7) Tyson Magoo 10/1, Third in a point in April. Showed a bit when fifth of 13 in 2½m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in July. Off since. Probably more one for the longer term. Showed only minor promise on hurdle debut in July and has not raced again since.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 -21%) Tanking Along		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Tanking Along 40/1, Showed first form when 16½ lengths third of 5 to Serious Chat in novice hurdle at Wetherby (2½m, good) 31 days ago but not reason why he'll turn the tables on that one. Over 16l behind comfortable winner Serious Chat when third at Wetherby last month.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 -21%) Myfavouritesister		80 80/1(-21%)																															(8) Myfavouritesister 80/1, Little form in 3 bumpers and hasn't fared much better in 2 hurdles at Sedgefield. Hooded first time. Not beaten far in weak mares' race on hurdle debut but pulled up since.
6th	5 6th (5) (125/1 -25%) Kiss Me D'ex		125 125/1(-25%)																															(5) Kiss Me D'ex 125/1, Bumper winner in France but weakened quickly to finish last of 14 in a Stratford novice hurdle for new yard at the end of October. A tongue tie is quickly reached for. Won French bumper in February but well beaten when 80-1 for stable/hurdle debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -300%) Frontier Force		200 200/1(-300%)																															(4) Frontier Force 200/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers ahead of this hurdle debut. Flat-bred 4yo who finished last in two good-ground bumpers this autumn.

This would appear to be between the two penalised runners WISE EAGLE and Serious Chat, of which the former is preferred. A talented stayer on the Flat, the seven-year-old made a belated return to hurdles at Musselburgh last month and proved far too strong for them. Given his ability on the level, that could be the case once again. Point winner Frisby hasn't been seen since filling the runner-up spot in a bumper at Ayr in February and he requires a market check.

It's tough to get away from WISE EAGLE, whose easy Musselburgh win last month suggests he can match his useful Flat form over hurdles. Wetherby winner Serious Chat is the obvious danger.

It's hard to see beyond very talented Flat stayer WISE EAGLE, who cruised clear in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last month.

1	7 1st (7) (1/4 +24%) Don't Mind If I Do		0.25 1/4(+24%)																															(7) Don't Mind If I Do 1/4, £75,000 half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Lord Baddesley. Ran a cracker when second of 20 in Newbury sales bumper on debut in March and shaped like a sure-fire future winner when filling same spot on Warwick hurdle bow (2m). Sure to progress and claims crystal clear. Has bumped into good horses in both his races and this looks a good opportunity.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 +33%) Renoir		22 22/1(+33%)																															(9) Renoir 22/1, Made an encouraging bumper debut when third of 9 at Bangor in April 2023. Went backwards at Stratford 2 months later but has since scored on the level for Thomas Faulkner, albeit last on most recent outing. Makes hurdle bow. 1m4f AW winner at a lowly level this October; has since changed hands for £7,000.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 -50%) It's A Breeze		6 6/1(-50%)																															(8) It's A Breeze 6/1, €120,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Impervious and fair 2½m hurdle winner Dame de Fortune. Proved very green when sent off a short-priced favourite in a C&D bumper on debut 11 months ago. Clearly thought capable of better. Tailed off in a bumper here last Boxing Day when a strong favourite; now hooded.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +17%) Another Fine Mess		10 10/1(+17%)																															(1) Another Fine Mess 10/1, Has shown some promise but appeals as the type to do better in handicaps after this run. Has had a breathing operation. Has ability but looks vulnerable unless wind surgery has made a difference.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 +0%) Chesh		33 33/1(+0%)																															(4) Chesh 33/1, Showed some ability on sole outing in bumpers for Chris Gordon but has been well held both starts over hurdles. Needs this for a handicap mark. Tailed off in two hurdles, latterly behind Regent's Stroll at Newbury.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -32%) Dark Material		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Dark Material 33/1, Well beaten in a brace of bumpers. Offered a bit switched to hurdling when fifth of 13 at Taunton 19 days ago but is surely one for handicaps later on. Stable won this last year with a good horse but this gelding has looked limited so far.
7th	2 7th (2) (250/1 -25%) As Good As Can Be		250 250/1(-25%)																															(2) As Good As Can Be 250/1, Milan gelding who hails from a good family but looks decidedly limited on early evidence. No worthwhile form in points or under rules; no appeal.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 +47%) Reely Delightful		80 80/1(+47%)																															(10) Reely Delightful 80/1, Last in bumper/completed starts over hurdles. Easily passed over. Looked very limited in a bumper and two maiden hurdles before departing early at Warwick.
5	5 |PU| (5) (9/1 +25%) Chourmo		9 9/1(+25%)																															(5) Chourmo 9/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m), won 4 times in 2024, including handicap at Newmarket latest outing. Could have a future over hurdles. Hooded. Plied his trade at a modest level on the Flat but won four times; could make a hurdler.
3	3 |PU| (3) (150/1 -127%) Captain Dillon		150 150/1(-127%)																															(3) Captain Dillon 150/1, No impact in a trio of maiden hurdles. Off 13 months. First run for yard after leaving S. Curling. Showed pretty much zilch in three 2m slow-ground maidens when trained in Ireland.

DON'T MIND IF I DO shaped with plenty of promise when hitting the crossbar on his hurdles debut at Warwick last month and should have plenty of improvement in him. With normal progression, he will prove very tough to beat. Dark Material finished fifth on his first start over hurdles at Taunton and could get closer with Sam Twiston-Davies booked, while hurdling newcomer Chourmo warrants a market check.

DON'T MIND IF I DO, an excellent second in his sole outing in bumpers, again shaped with bags of promise behind a useful prospect on his Warwick hurdling debut last month and, with the performance supported by a healthy timefigure, he'll surely take plenty of beating with improvement on the cards. It's A Breeze ran below expectations in a C&D bumper on his debut 11 months ago but is clearly thought capable of much better, with Another Fine Mess taken to fill the places.

There's no Regent's Stroll or Castle Ivers (both smart prospects) for DON'T MIND IF I DO to worry about here and he should win well.

1	3 1st (3) (20/1 -100%) Wrappedinrubies		20 20/1(-100%)																															(3) Wrappedinrubies 20/1, Showed some ability on the second of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles but suffered a heavy defeat at Perth when last seen in April. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Placed in Haydock maiden in March and open to improvement in handicaps this season.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +30%) Vanilla Dancer		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(4) Vanilla Dancer 7/2, Sedgefield bumper winner last November and posted better effort since tackling hurdles when third in the 12-runner handicap won by Apples Moon there last month. Beaten 3¼ lengths by the winner and now 5 lb better off with that rival, so she has a realistic chance of reversing those placings. 0-6 over hurdles but ran well when third behind Apples Moon last month; one to consider.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/6 +63%) Apples Moon		0.833333 5/6(+63%)																															(2) Apples Moon 5/6, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts since venturing down the handicap route, most recently accounting for 11 rivals with a bit left up her sleeve at Sedgefield (21.2f, good). 5 lb rise manageable and looks nailed-on to give another good account. Won with a bit left in the tank at Sedgefield last month and is now 2-3 in handicaps.
4	11 4th (11) (33/1 0%) Lady's Present		33 33/1(0%)																															(11) Lady's Present 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden who has a fair bit to prove having looked all at sea a long way out back from almost 2 years off at Carlisle in October. Struggled when 100-1 at Carlisle in October, after a long absence.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -13%) Bridgetjoans		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Bridgetjoans 18/1, Looked rusty after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Perth in September. However, excuses for subsequent defeats at Sedgefield and Hexham not so easy to find and the addition of cheekpieces will need to help spark a major revival if she's to get competitive here. Second twice in February/April but form has slumped since; headgear switched today.
6th	15 6th (15) (80/1 -142%) Tres Bien		80 80/1(-142%)																															(15) Tres Bien 80/1, Showed a bit when third in a Newton Abbot bumper on debut but has gone sharply downhill since, failing complete on each of her 4 starts in this sphere. 3 lb 'wrong' at the weights for this handicap debut. Displayed some promise before weakening last time, and has lowly opening mark.
7th	1 7th (1) (15/2 +17%) Our Pink Lady		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(1) Our Pink Lady 15/2, Lightly-raced and improved when landing back-to-back handicaps over 20.4f at Southwell in March. Has found life tougher off higher marks the last twice, though, and others make more appeal on this occasion. Dual Southwell winner in March; absent since June but further progress remains possible.
8th	14 8th (14) (12/1 +14%) Rhiannon Ring		12 12/1(+14%)																															(14) Rhiannon Ring 12/1, From a good jumping family and finished runner-up sole start in Irish points last year. However, she hasn't shown much at all in 4 runs under Rules to date and needs to raise her game now handicapping. Showed no significant promise in three maiden hurdles but has a lowly opening mark.
9th	12 9th (12) (18/1 -13%) Spring Wind		18 18/1(-13%)																															(12) Spring Wind 18/1, Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland but down the field in 3 novice hurdles for new yard in recent weeks. No great surprise were she to step up now switched to handicap company but she's opposable all the same. Soundly beaten in three novice hurdles but has possibilities if judged on Irish Flat form.
10th	9 10th (9) (14/1 -17%) Belle Na Bann		14 14/1(-17%)																															(9) Belle Na Bann 14/1, Successful at Newcastle last December and followed up here (15.7f, heavy) the following month. Bounced back from a couple of below par performances when runner-up at Perth during the spring and, with her Sedgefield reappearance spin likely to have blown away the cobwebs, she's one to consider. Placed off 2lb higher in May and might have needed last month's reappearance run.
13	13 |PU| (13) (28/1 +15%) Horizon Dove		28 28/1(+15%)																															(13) Horizon Dove 28/1, Showed ability in bumpers but it's all been pretty low-key since switched to hurdles and she's one to swerve on debut for new yard following a 14-month absence. Unplaced all five hurdling starts and absent since 34l defeat in September 2023.
6	6 |PU| (6) (40/1 -100%) Malina Ocarina		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Malina Ocarina 40/1, Registered fourth career success when narrowly scoring at Stratford (18.7f, good) in July but well below that level over shorter trip at same course next time. Disgraced herself by refusing to race after a break at Southwell last month and can only be watched for now. 25-1 winner in new cheekpieces in July; well beaten since and refused to race last time.
8	8 |PU| (8) (100/1 -300%) Ruler Of The River		100 100/1(-300%)																															(8) Ruler Of The River 100/1, Stayed on well to open hurdles account in a juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f, soft) but more miss than hit since, both in this sphere and on the level. Became disappointing for Sam England and looks too risky on stable debut.

APPLES MOON made it two wins from three in handicaps when on target at Sedgefield last month and, given the manner in which she won that day, a subsequent 5lb rise might prove lenient. Vanilla Dancer, who finished behind the selection in third that day, could get closer on these revised terms, while handicap debutant Rhiannon Ring is another to be interested in.

VANILLA DANCER was beaten 3¼ lengths by Apples Moon at Sedgefield and, now 5 lb better off with that rival, she is taken to emerge on top this time. The latter is still very much respected given her progressive profile and she is the clear main danger ahead of Belle Na Bann, who should be sharper following her reappearance spin and has won round here in the past.

Some are still unexposed but APPLES MOON has made a very good start to her handicap career and is taken to maintain her progress.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -25%) King Arise		5 5/1(-25%)																															(8) King Arise 5/1, Won sole point and showed fair form over hurdles. Came very close to defying a long absence at Ayr on chase bow early last month and that form has been boosted. Needs considering. Nearly won after an absence on chase debut at Ayr; big shout if as good again here.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 +0%) Another Folly		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(7) Another Folly 15/2, Runner-up both outings in points before showing fair form on second run over hurdles last season. Matched that level on his first chase start when third in handicap at Exeter but no match for the winner when second of 3 there since. Beaten in a three-runner chase last time but he's a lightly raced 5yo with races in him.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/4 +40%) Gyenyame		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(2) Gyenyame 6/4, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner who has the size to make a chaser and built on his debut over fences when off the mark easily at Exeter last time. That wasn't much of a race but he should have more to offer. Questionable what he achieved in winning a weak three-runner race last time; same mark.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -83%) Yggdrasil		11 11/1(-83%)																															(5) Yggdrasil 11/1, Improved for switch to chasing in 2021/22, gaining third success at Uttoxeter. Not in same form following season and on sole outing for this yard but has been given a chance by the handicapper on his return from a long absence. Tongue strap on 1st time. Strike-rate of 3-9 over fences but having his first run since the summer of last year.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -100%) I Love You Sivola		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) I Love You Sivola 50/1, French recruit who has essentially struggled for this yard and easy to oppose from out of the handicap. It wasn't a bad latest effort but he's very opposable from 13lb out of the weights.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +38%) Gold Link		10 10/1(+38%)																															(1) Gold Link 10/1, Opened chase account at Stratford last summer and resumed winning ways over 2½m at Huntingdon a year ago. Struggled last 3 starts, however, including both starts this term. On a competitive mark on last season's best form but last three efforts have been moderate.
6	6 |PU| (6) (15/2 +17%) Another Million		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(6) Another Million 15/2, Fair 21f chase winner for Denis Leahy. Made a promising start for his new yard after 11 months off when fourth at Warwick but let down by jumping at Chepstow since. Close up over this trip before running out of puff and falling over 3m2f at Chepstow.
3	3 |PU| (3) (15/2 +0%) Tango Tara		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(3) Tango Tara 15/2, Point winner who was off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a 19.5f Chepstow handicap (good) in April 2022. Showed an aptitude for chasing on first run since when fourth at Exeter on New Year's Day. Off again since but interesting top yard persevere. Back from another absence; his top team have been patient and that bodes well.
4	4 |PU| (4) (18/1 -50%) Harjo		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Harjo 18/1, Ready winner on second chase start in this race last year off 1 lb lower. However, pulled up next 4 of 5 starts, including when shaping as if amiss both starts this term. Tongue strap back on. Four pull-ups since winning this last year but on a good mark if better for a wind op.

King Arise was denied by a neck into second over an extended 2m5f at Ayr last month and he should give a good account on only his second chase start. However, the vote goes to YGGDRASIL, who finished third on his first outing for the David Pipe yard at Bangor in June last year and now makes his return off a 5lb lower rating. Another Folly is another to keep an eye on.

YGGDRASIL has a lengthy absence to overcome but has been given a chance by the handicapper and his trainer is back among the winners in recent days, so he could be worth chancing. King Arise clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but he came very close to making a winning chase bow at Ayr last month after a long absence so rates the main threat ahead of Gyenyame, who remains with potential in this sphere.

A chance is taken on last year's winner HARJO in the hope he can get himself back on track after wind surgery.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -129%) Flamelco		4 4/1(-129%)																															(2) Flamelco 4/1, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 but he built on the mild encouragement of his reappearance/debut for this yard when finding just one too good at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last month. Remains feasibly treated back up 2 lb and he has to enter calculations. Not the force of old but ran well behind progressive rival at Hereford last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +26%) Langton Wold		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(1) Langton Wold 10/3, Fair Flat winner who opened hurdles account in 16.8f Sedgefield maiden on Boxing Day last year. Solid efforts in defeat in handicap hurdles over the same C&D the last twice and he showed an aptitude for this game on sole previous chase start during the summer. Leading claims. Ran okay on chasing debut in June and reverts to fences after two good hurdling efforts.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +9%) Prospect House		10 10/1(+9%)																															(7) Prospect House 10/1, Off the mark in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last September but hasn't come close to matching that form since, again safely held on second start in this sphere recently at Musselburgh. Safely held all three starts since hurdle win in September and yet to convince over fences.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +25%) Iwa		9 9/1(+25%)																															(6) Iwa 9/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France but has failed to match that form following 7 starts on these shores. Travelled strongly in first-time blinkers last month but was safely held in the end.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +13%) Pittsburg		14 14/1(+13%)																															(5) Pittsburg 14/1, Took advantage of his fall in the weights when recording a third win over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July. However, it's been a struggle for the most part since and others are more convincing. Safely held in last two chases but won off today's mark in the summer; can't rule out.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 +29%) Getaway Jewel		5 5/1(+29%)																															(8) Getaway Jewel 5/1, Losing run stretches back to middle of last year but he has dipped to an attractive mark and hasn't disgraced himself in 5 runs over hurdles/fences this year. Down another 2 lb since latest start and he's a live each-way contender. Well below best this year but on career-low mark and drying ground will aid his cause.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -146%) Herecomeshogan		16 16/1(-146%)																															(9) Herecomeshogan 16/1, Runner-up in a Hereford handicap chase in January but hasn't threated in 7 subsequent starts, unseating rider early on in first-time blinkers (on again here) at Ludlow last time. Unlucky to come to grief on latest outing but now 0-10 over fences.
3	3 |PU| (3) (9/2 +55%) Delpotro		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(3) Delpotro 9/2, Successful 2 out of his 3 starts over fences at Nort-sur-Erdre earlier this year. Claimed from Gabriel Leenders for €9,106 and appears to be gradually finding his feet for new connections judged on his latest fourth in a 6-runner Wincanton handicap. Down another 3 lb and he's worth a second look. Dual chase winner in France; 0-3 in Britain but ran well to a point on last two outings.
4	4 |PU| (4) (20/1 -67%) Jake Stevens		20 20/1(-67%)																															(4) Jake Stevens 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was runner-up on first completed start under Rules in a Sedgefield novice hurdles last November. Nowhere near that level in 3 subsequent starts, though, and improvement needed now sent chasing with first-time blinkers enlisted. Well beaten in both handicap hurdles (2m5f/3m); down in trip with blinkers on; chase debut.

FLAMELCO did himself no favours by jumping left when runner-up at Hereford last month. He should be better suited by this track and the six-year-old looks capable of opening his account over fences. A dual chase winner in France, Delpotro has steadily improved since joining Charlie Longsdon's yard and can feature in the finish, while Langton Wold has placed over hurdles recently and is worthy of consideration back over the larger obstacles.

In good form over hurdles of late and completely unexposed in this sphere, LANGTON WOLD could be the answer. He offered something to work on when making his chase debut at Stratford in June and he's now 7 lb lower in the weights. Flamelco is a live danger on the back of a solid effort at Hereford, while Delpotro and Getaway Jewel are others to consider.

The vote goes to LANGTON WOLD (nap), who was placed on his last two hurdle starts and remains well handicapped for this chase return.

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +20%) Phoenix Risen		4 4/1(+20%)																															(7) Phoenix Risen 4/1, Dual winner at Taunton during early 2023 and returned to something like that form following a pair of lesser runs when runner-up back at that venue 33 days ago. Now his task is to back that up but definite possibilities if doing so. Good 2nd to American Land at Taunton in November when back from break; weighted to go well.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -230%) Walk On High		11 11/1(-230%)																															(2) Walk On High 11/1, 7-y-o who hasn't stood much racing but confirmed he retains all his ability after 12 months off/wind surgery when third in 14-runner Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) 4 weeks ago. May well have a bigger effort in his locker. Makes handicap debut with hood retained. Sparingly raced but promising novice form in late 2022; creditable return; handicap debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 +0%) Moab		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) Moab 10/1, A fair maiden on the Flat who showed more than previous in this sphere when fourth on qualifying run in 8-runner novice hurdle at Sandown (2m) 37 days ago. Opening mark does demand another step forward now, however. Showed Flat ability and this sharp track can suit now he goes handicapping.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Dirty Den		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Dirty Den 12/1, Fair bumper winner who has yet to scale same heights as a hurdler but shaped a bit better than on return when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (2m, soft) 8 days ago. Likely he'll need to take another step forward to play a lead role here. Well adrift of American Land over C&D and again faded at Lingfield eight days ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +30%) Afta Party		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Afta Party 14/1, Returned to winning ways at Worcester (2m) in July. However, below form in both codes since, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Won in good style at Worcester (2m, good) in July; not in same form since; headgear off.
6th	3 6th (3) (1/1 +67%) American Land		1 1/1(+67%)																															(3) American Land 1/1, Showed improved form quickly reverted to hurdling when off the mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) and followed up over C&D 26 days ago having escaped a penalty for that success. More needed now new mark has kicked in but respected nevertheless. Won both handicap hurdles, at Taunton and over C&D; harder task off 9lb higher today.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -371%) Monsant		33 33/1(-371%)																															(1) Monsant 33/1, Definite promise (fair form) on first 2 starts in maiden hurdles during 2023. Probably in need of run after 9 months off when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Galway (19f) in October and he remains with potential having since switched yards. Market confidence would look significant. Ex-Irish; lightly raced; promise in maiden hurdles but faded on handicap debut; new yard.
4	4 |U| (4) (15/2 -67%) Zodiac Star		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(4) Zodiac Star 15/2, Off the mark in a Stratford maiden (16.3f) in July and consistent in defeat since, again making the frame when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good, 11/1) 39 days ago. Should give another good account. Won 2m maiden in July; creditable handicap runs since and shouldn't be far away.

American Land escaped a penalty for winning a conditional handicap at Taunton when following up with a C&D success last time. He faces a tougher task now raised 9lb, while Zodiac Star has a shout on his second at Ludlow in October, though WALK ON HIGH is preferred. Harry Fry's charge remains unexposed over hurdles and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

WALK ON HIGH evidently hasn't been the easiest to train but confirmed he retains all of his ability after a year off when third on his qualifying run at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago. Appealing as having an even bigger effort in his locker, he shades the vote on handicap debut in the hope he stands more regular racing. Phoenix Risen from a handy mark and the hat-trick seeking American Land are others to consider. Monsant is also worth a look.

It could be tight between American Land and Phoenix Risen on Taunton form but WALK ON HIGH is chanced on his handicap debut.

1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +31%) Sol Cayo		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(2) Sol Cayo 11/4, 4-y-o who ran best race for present connections when second of 9 in a C&D handicap in October. Profile on all weather is a positive one and he's respected from this sort of mark. Back to form when second over C&D in October and has claims if he can back that up.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -60%) Brodie's Boy		16 16/1(-60%)																															(4) Brodie's Boy 16/1, Kempton maiden winner (12f) for Barry Brennan in March but looked in the grip of the assessor in pair of starts for new yard, unable to land a blow when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 26 days ago. Ease back down in class in his favour here. Won a Kempton maiden (1m4f) in March but has found it tough going back in handicaps since.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +38%) Phone Tag		5 5/1(+38%)																															(6) Phone Tag 5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to soft, 11/1) 46 days ago. Comes here having eased further in the weights and he's unexposed on all-weather. Record of 1-14 and well-held sixth in last two starts; needs to raise his game back on AW.
4	8 4th (8) (40/1 -82%) Treasure Storm		40 40/1(-82%)																															(8) Treasure Storm 40/1, 5f winner at 2 yrs for Dominic Ffrench Davis who ran one of her better races for this yard when seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Step back up in trip may help now. Record of 1-12 and she needs to find more on this step back up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/4 -83%) Orbital		2.75 11/4(-83%)																															(5) Orbital 11/4, Pair of AW wins in the summer and got back on the up away from testing ground when second of 11 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Headgear back on and merits consideration again despite being nudged up 2 lb. Dual AW winner who had a close call over C&D last time; big player again up 2lb.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 +45%) Life On The Rocks		6 6/1(+45%)																															(7) Life On The Rocks 6/1, 4 wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Windsor (10f) in August. Not scaling same heights on all-weather in recent starts, tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago. Four wins on turf this summer but well held back on AW in last three runs; down the list.
7th	1 7th (1) (18/1 -80%) Chillhi		18 18/1(-80%)																															(1) Chillhi 18/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 8 days ago, outpaced around 2f out and plodding on. Cheekpieces reached for now but he's not the easiest to assess at present. His last win was in September 2022 and he's generally struggled under both codes this year.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -191%) Orange N Blue		16 16/1(-191%)																															(3) Orange N Blue 16/1, 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f) in January. Changed hands for 6,000 gns in May and interesting if market vibes are positive on return to action. Lightly raced 4yo who needs a close look on his comeback for new yard.

Orbital went agonisingly close over C&D a fortnight ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may help to eke out a bit more from the daughter of Pivotal. The vote goes to SOL CAYO, though, who appeared to relish the return to an artificial surface last time out and might be able to build on that performance. Orange N Blue is also noted.

ORBITAL got back on the up away from testing ground when finishing a good second in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago and she looks a lead player once more with first-time cheekpieces now enlisted. Sol Cayo ran his best race for present connections when also runner-up here in October and is a threat. Orange N Blue is another to note on debut for Ruth Carr.

This can go to dual AW winner ORBITAL, who was as good as ever when going close over C&D two weeks ago. Sol Cayo is feared most.

Dam, unraced, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful staying chaser Adrenalin Flight. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Mar 2024). Yard boast a 30% strike rate with bumper runners this term and he's well worth considering. Cost £115,000 after finishing second in an Irish point; with top stable for rules career.
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +56%) Moonbow		2 2/1(+56%)																															(4) Moonbow 2/1, Comfortable winner sole start in points and promising first effort under Rules with a tongue strap fitted when second of 7 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f) 3 weeks ago, running green. Looks sure to have derived plenty from that and he's of interest. Winning pointer; good start to rules career when second at Sedgefield last month.

Successful sole start in Irish points in March and fair form when finishing midfield in 10-runner Newton Abbot bumper (16.7f) 7 weeks ago. In good hands and feasible to think he can improve on that. Irish point winner; fifth at Newton Abbot on rules debut; open to improvement here.

Newcomer to note for stable who are no stranger to success in this sphere. 22,000euros 3yo; dam came second in a bumper; stable does well in these races.
5th	6 5th (6) (66/1 -164%) Smart Bucks		66 66/1(-164%)																															(6) Smart Bucks 66/1, Buck's Boum gelding who stepped up on debut form when fourth of 7 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Will likely need to pull out more if he's to open his account here, however. Second run was better than his debut; has over 5l to find with Moonbow.

A winner between the flags in Ireland, KOSAC D'OUDAIRIES debuted under Rules with a fifth at Newton Abbot in October. A winner has come out of that race, and Jamie Snowden's charge will likely be thereabouts at the finish with that experience under his belt. Cobbler's Boy has joined Dan Skelton's yard since finishing second in a point-to-point in March and could go well, while last month's Sedgefield runner-up Moonbow is noted too.

COBBLER'S BOY appeals as a likely type on paper with the Skelton yard boasting a 30% strike rate with their bumper representatives this season, so he's selected to come out on top before the benefit of market clues. Moonbow and Kosac d'Oudairies head up the dangers, though confidence behind another couple of newcomers in the shape of Ballynoe Boy and Mr Mojo Risin would also need to be viewed positively.

Dan Sketon's new recruit COBBLER'S BOY was bought for a six-figure sum after his promising Irish point debut and appeals most.

Looked held when falling later that month and has disappointed both subsequent starts. Twice runner-up; two non-completions in handicaps but the latest was at Ascot.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 -50%) Sweet Caryline		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(5) Sweet Caryline 9/2, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark switched to handicap company in 5-runner event at Fontwell (19.1f, good) 30 days ago, by 2¼ lengths from Ask Her Out. Nudged up 6 lb but should be capable of even better given her pedigree. Only beat three finishers at Fontwell (2m3f, good) but showed some fighting spirit; up 6lb.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 -44%) Linda Moon		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(1) Linda Moon 13/2, Picked up where she left off the in the spring when good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good, 3/1) 33 days ago.

Entitled to strip fitter for that and shouldn't be taken lightly. Won her maiden here but will need her best form yet to prevail off this mark.

Run best excused back at that venue since given her saddle slipped early on the final circuit. Well handicapped; saddle slipped when pulling up at Exeter 11 days ago; was favourite.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +21%) Just Go For It		22 22/1(+21%)																															(6) Just Go For It 22/1, Course winner who possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Mitchell Hunt (after 7 months off) when a well-held third of 9 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. This will reveal more. Some good runs in the spring but has offered little in her last three races; turns 12 soon.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 +52%) An Cailin Ciuin		12 12/1(+52%)																															(10) An Cailin Ciuin 12/1, Merely matched previous form when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 22 days ago. More needed for win purposes. Handicap debut was underwhelming but ran better to be fourth at Ludlow.
10th	9 10th (9) (5/2 +58%) Imperial Jade		2.5 5/2(+58%)																															(9) Imperial Jade 5/2, Largely disappointed last term but got back on track following a breathing operation when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow on return. Unlucky not to finish closer back up in trip over C&D since and remains of interest. Third in both races after wind surgery and suffered interference the last time.
11	11 |PU| (11) (10/1 -54%) Ask Her Out		10 10/1(-54%)																															(11) Ask Her Out 10/1, Bumper winner who confirmed the promise of her last 2 starts when opening her hurdle account in 15-runner handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 15 days ago. 1 lb out of the weights here in a better-class of handicap but still respected as a last-time-out winner all the same. Got up in the nick of time at Plumpton; 5lb higher for this but clearly a contender.

LINDA MOON proved well suited to the step up to 2m3f at Taunton last month on her first start since May. Beaten less than a length into second on that occasion, this extra furlong will likely bring further improvement from the five-year-old and Neil King's mare is taken to go one better. The unexposed Sweet Caryline scored at Fontwell on her handicap debut and also merits consideration, given she had Ask Her Out back in second and she's subsequently won at Plumpton.

IMPERIAL JADE was unlucky not to finish closer over C&D on her most recent outing, having been shuffled back leaving the back straight, and there's surely a handicap in her from her current mark. Sweet Caryline is in a deeper handicap than the one she won at Fontwell, but her pedigree provides plenty of hope for better still, with Linda Moon likely to go well again.

Jaminska and IMPERIAL JADE (nap) are the two against the field. The selection was unlucky here last time and she's improving.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +56%) Oriental Prince		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(8) Oriental Prince 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fared better than previously when runner-up over 6f here in October and proved too free when fifth of 10 in handicap back here (6f) 11 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing with a 1st time hood now reached for. Promising 2nd here after a break; went off quick latest; hooded now down to 5f; unexposed.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +45%) Wee Fat Mac		3 3/1(+45%)																															(2) Wee Fat Mac 3/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 9/1) 64 days ago. Not out of things from this sort of mark back on all weather. Won a division of this race last year off this mark; should go well in bid for a repeat.
3	11 3rd (11) (22/1 -175%) Lady Of The Garr		22 22/1(-175%)																															(11) Lady Of The Garr 22/1, Remains a maiden after 15 starts but turned in another creditable display when third in 9-runner C&D handicap in September, that despite blindfold being removed late. Needs considering back from 96 days off. 15-race maiden; solid C&D 3rd in September when last seen; a career best is required.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +30%) Jamie Bond		14 14/1(+30%)																															(3) Jamie Bond 14/1, All the better for reappearance run when fourth at Catterick (5f) in August but ran poorly both starts since, always behind when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well short of his best in two runs last month; down in the weights but others appeal more.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -178%) Doon The Glen		25 25/1(-178%)																															(10) Doon The Glen 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June. Each-way claims from his basement mark if ready to roll after 6 months off. 0-16 but has shown promise, including at this track; has 199-day absence to overcome.
6th	4 6th (4) (6/1 +20%) Show Me Show Me		6 6/1(+20%)																															(4) Show Me Show Me 6/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, no extra last ½f. Comes here lurking on a handy mark if he can build on that effort. Travelled much more sweetly over C&D last week when well backed; dangerous mark; contender.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +14%) Caesars Pearl		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Caesars Pearl 12/1, Pleasing effort returning from 5 months off when third at Southwell (6f) last month but underwhelming display in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/1) 29 days ago. Returns to the minimum trip now. Penultimate run perhaps a touch flattering and she was well held at Wolverhampton latest.
8th	12 8th (12) (9/2 +40%) Pockley		4.5 9/2(+40%)																															(12) Pockley 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Produced best effort for some time when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, nearest finish. Has tumbled down the weights this year and he's worthy of consideration on the back of that. Latest run can be upgraded but he can blow the start and isn't the safest option.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +25%) Phoenix Star		9 9/1(+25%)																															(6) Phoenix Star 9/1, 5-time C&D winner. 17/2, shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 46 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Prolific winner; good record for today's rider; sharper for a run last month; good chance.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +0%) Henery Hawk		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) Henery Hawk 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. 16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 76 days ago, never competitive after a typically sluggish start. Others appeal more for win purposes on balance. Looks thrown in back on Tapeta but today's rider is just 3-152 for the stable.
11th	7 11th (7) (50/1 -100%) Borough		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Borough 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Wee Fat Mac. Down in the weights but 2024 has been a write-off and slow starts are a recurring issue.

Although HENERY HAWK has made little impact on his last three turf starts, the five-year-old has a far better record on artificial surfaces and, now 13lb below his last winning mark, it would come as no surprise were Linda Perratt's charge to find a return to form. Others to note include Show Me Show Me, Lady Of The Garr and Recon Mission.

POCKLEY ran his best race for a while when finishing fifth in a C&D handicap 39 days ago and in the hope he can use that as a platform to build upon, he looks too well handicapped to ignore. Wee Fat Mac, Oriental Prince and Recon Mission are others to consider, along with Lady of The Garr.

Several make appeal but Show Me Show Me and PHOENIX STAR could be the pair to focus on. The latter can gain a sixth course win.

1	1 1st (1) (11/10 +27%) Volenti		1.1 11/10(+27%)																															(1) Volenti 11/10, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Can defy a penalty. On the up for this yard, winning twice over C&D in recent months; big player under penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +33%) Commander Crouch		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(3) Commander Crouch 10/3, One win from 25 Flat runs. First run since leaving Jim Boyle when fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 3/1) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. Promising stable debut last month when slowly run 7f wasn't ideal; this should suit better.

Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 20/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Struggled since July but down in weights and had a wind op since latest; check betting.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -50%) Jujubella		9 9/1(-50%)																															(5) Jujubella 9/1, 11/2, creditable 4½ lengths third of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Two solid runs for new yard; work to do with Volenti on last week's C&D run; headgear now.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 +0%) Pop Favorite		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Pop Favorite 25/1, 6-time C&D winner. 28/1, 15 lengths eleventh of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Blinkers back on. Conditions ideal but none too consistent and 15l behind Volenti here last week.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -25%) Dee's Dream		25 25/1(-25%)																															(7) Dee's Dream 25/1, 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm). Off 168 days. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. 1m4f win for former yard; out of form for much of 2024; down in trip for stable debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -40%) Barossa		28 28/1(-40%)																															(10) Barossa 28/1, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Winner here in July. Eighth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago. 7f win here in the summer; form has cooled more recently and others look safer.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -38%) Martin's Brig		22 22/1(-38%)																															(6) Martin's Brig 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 11 days ago. Yet to shine this winter but down in the weights and he goes well over C&D; could revive.
9th	12 9th (12) (22/1 +67%) Wath Court		22 22/1(+67%)																															(12) Wath Court 22/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 90 days ago. Others more persuasive. Exposed maiden; little since May to suggest he was ready to exploit his reduced mark.
10th	11 10th (11) (125/1 -89%) Born To Charm		125 125/1(-89%)																															(11) Born To Charm 125/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Roger Fell & Sean Murray when 22½ lengths last of 12 to Volenti in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Tailed off on his stable debut over C&D last week; headgear now reached for.

VOLENTI continued his fine spell of form when winning over C&D recently and although a 5lb penalty will make life tougher, he holds outstanding claims against some out-of-form rivals and is taken to go in again. Jujubella finished behind the selection in third that day and may find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Commander Crouch heads the remainder.

VOLENTI pulled clear with another in-form sort when scoring over C&D last week and looks capable of defying a penalty. Commander Crouch caught the eye starting out for this yard here 6 weeks ago so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of 4-time C&D winner Odd Socks Havana.

Volenti is solid after last week's C&D win but Leap Year Lad and COMMANDER CROUCH lurk on tempting marks.

1	4 1st (4) (9/5 -98%) Longhaired General		1.8 9/5(-98%)																															(4) Longhaired General 9/5, Lightly-raced gelding. 11/10, third of 8 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 149 days ago, found to be lame. Makes tapeta debut. Good chance if all is well. Thirsk second in June sets a clear standard; absent since finishing lame in July; AW debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -175%) Steps In Time		11 11/1(-175%)																															(2) Steps In Time 11/1, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 2/1) 15 days ago. Debut run was more promising. Placed in two runs at Wolverhampton this winter; improvement required to win.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 -167%) Thats My Boy Luke		16 16/1(-167%)																															(3) Thats My Boy Luke 16/1, Fair gelding. Creditable second of 6 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 47 days ago. Will probably need a bit more to open account in this. Exposed maiden; improvement required to come out on top this time.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +55%) Sorontar		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(5) Sorontar 9/2, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 11/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Stiff task on figures but he may well run better than likely odds would suggest.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/8 +77%) Lechuga Lad		1.375 11/8(+77%)																															(1) Lechuga Lad 11/8, Territories gelding. Dam, 16.5f winner, half-sister to useful Italian 1¼m/11f winner Wickwing. Starts out in a winnable contest and in-form yard do strike with the odd one first time out. Dam a minor 2m AW winner; starts out in an uncompetitive maiden; check betting.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Jam Lass		66 66/1(-65%)																															(6) Jam Lass 66/1, U S Navy Flag filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 8.5f-1½m winner Expansion (graded winner in US) out of smart 1¼m/10.5f French winner La Sylphide. Minor appeal on paper and she would look an unlikely winner on debut.

Steps In Time has shown enough ability on both of his starts to date to suggest a race of this nature would be within his compass, but he may come out second best to LONGHAIRED GENERAL. Craig Lidster's three-year-old was last seen finishing third at Redcar in July and sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 79. Any market support behind Lechuga Lad would be interesting.

LONGHAIRED GENERAL had excuses for his Redcar flop when last seen and in the hope all is well he can make a successful return now switched to tapeta (related to several AW winners). Newcomer Lechuga Lad might be the danger.

With form which is a cut above that of his rivals, LONGHAIRED GENERAL can make a winning AW debut. Sorontar can chase him home.

2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +50%) Lahab		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(6) Lahab 9/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 9 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Eased another 2 lb on the back of that. Did not live up to market billing here the last twice; down in the weights; not discounted.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/4 +32%) Rebecca's Girl		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(8) Rebecca's Girl 9/4, C&D winner this month and shaped well when second over 1m here 3 days ago, the longer trip just stretching her after she looked sure to win over 1f out. Leading claims back at 7f. Bolted up over C&D 11 days ago and picked off only late over 1m 3 days later; big chance.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -25%) Cusack		20 20/1(-25%)																															(2) Cusack 20/1, Six-time course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (1m) 40 days ago, very slowly away. Back on a good mark but need to see more. On a good mark but the drop in trip and class isn't enough to tempt this time.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +30%) Thanks Dad		14 14/1(+30%)																															(11) Thanks Dad 14/1, Below-form 8¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Jkr Cobbler over C&D 50 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Others more persuasive. 12-race maiden for whom the addition of a tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.
6th	12 6th (12) (17/2 -6%) Flash The Dash		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(12) Flash The Dash 17/2, C&D winner. 10/3, below form third of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 74 days ago. The return to 7f should suit. Two course wins; in fair form over 6f when last seen and looks ready for the return to 7f.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Drakeholes		11 11/1(-10%)																															(10) Drakeholes 11/1, Four-time C&D winner, the latest in November. 9/4, creditable 2¾ lengths third of 7 to Jkr Cobbler over C&D last time, left poorly placed. Three C&D wins this year; latest 3rd came in a race not run to suit; should run well.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -83%) Pallas Lord		22 22/1(-83%)																															(7) Pallas Lord 22/1, Five wins here between January and March. Not at best back from a break this autumn but he's starting to look well handicapped again. Five course wins early in the year; back down the weights without looking primed to strike.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -33%) Jkr Cobbler		8 8/1(-33%)																															(3) Jkr Cobbler 8/1, On a C&D hat-trick after wins in October/November. A 3 lb rise for last time is more than offset by Warren Fentiman's 7 lb claim. Likely to have a big say. Chasing a C&D hat-trick but this is a deeper race than those he's been winning.
10th	5 10th (5) (10/1 -43%) Panama City		10 10/1(-43%)																															(5) Panama City 10/1, Won 12-runner course handicap (1m) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 3 lb nudge. Good strike-rate on AW and should make another bold bid back at 7f.
11th	1 11th (1) (28/1 -12%) Ideal Guest		28 28/1(-12%)																															(1) Ideal Guest 28/1, Well held both starts for new yard since returning from a year off. Can only watch until showing more. Two heavy defeats for new yard after an absence; headgear returns now down into a Class 6.
12th	4 12th (4) (125/1 -150%) B Associates		125 125/1(-150%)																															(4) B Associates 125/1, Three wins from 17 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in September. Has finished down the field in 4 starts for this yard, though. Four heavy defeats since joining current yard; drop to Class 6 is not enough to tempt.

Jkr Cobbler is in fine form at present and should mount a bold bid in his attempt to complete a C&D hat-trick, but it may pay to side with REBECCA'S GIRL. The daughter of Sioux Nation finished over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over a mile here last time and the drop back in trip might work the oracle. Panama City is another to note.

REBECCA'S GIRL will be ideally suited by the return to 7f and can land a second course win of the month and deny Jkr Cobbler a C&D hat-trick. Panama City and Drakeholes are other recent course scorers who could have a part to play in what looks quite a competitive race for the level.

Although beaten over a mile here last week, it was still another fine run from REBECCA'S GIRL and she remains ahead of her mark.

Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. 2-2, both over C&D, since a wind op and he's high on the list in his hat-trick bid.

5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +26%) El Bufalo		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(2) El Bufalo 10/3, 13/2, very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 12 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Player. Best of the prominent racers in strongly run Chelmsford event latest; unexposed; chance.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -38%) Commander Straker		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Commander Straker 22/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Risky proposition at present. Has not fired in two runs this winter after a wind op/259-day absence; others look safer.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Paddy's Day		9 9/1(-50%)																															(3) Paddy's Day 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, creditable close second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago. In the mix. Comes here in top form but he's creeping up the weights and finds winning tricky.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 -43%) Novak		40 40/1(-43%)																															(9) Novak 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Two 7f wins this autumn but has plenty to prove dropped to 5f.

THE RIDLER bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot on his latest outing and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 2lb. Richard Fahey's four-year-old should have no issues with this drop in trip and can go one better. The main threat is Mondammej, who is seeking a C&D hat-trick and holds an obvious chance. Paddy's Day is another to consider.

MONDAMMEJ is a different proposition since a recent breathing operation and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. El Bufalo was an excellent second on his first run back since a gelding operation at Chelmsford 2 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of Paddy's Day, who continues to knock on the door.

The Ridler should go well back at 5f but MONDAMMEJ is back in the zone after his wind op and he can complete his hat-trick.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +29%) Beale Street		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(2) Beale Street 5/2, C&D winner in November. Respectable fourth of 12 back here 11 days ago, not helped by getting hampered at the start. Remains unexposed as a sprinter. C&D winner last month; only fourth here 11 days ago; not fully exposed as a sprinter.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 -7%) Rapido Girl		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(5) Rapido Girl 15/2, Winner at Catterick in June. 13/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 8 days ago. Placed in AW handicaps the last twice; strongly run 6f should suit well; still low mileage.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 -25%) Too Much		10 10/1(-25%)																															(7) Too Much 10/1, C&D winner in October. 14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 8 days ago, never nearer. Will be suited by the return to 6f. Player. In good form here since reinvented as a sprinter; strong finish over 5f last week; chance.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -213%) Blackjack		25 25/1(-213%)																															(3) Blackjack 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in August. Good second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 5/1) 40 days ago. Thereabouts. Latest 2nd (Class 4) represented a personal best; likely he'll need to better that today.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 -14%) King's Crown		16 16/1(-14%)																															(10) King's Crown 16/1, One win from 29 starts. 18/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 8 days ago. It's likely the wait for a second win will go on. Poor strike-rate; flashes of form this year but he looks vulnerable again in a deep race.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/2 +36%) Tickets		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(9) Tickets 7/2, Course winner over 7f in October. 11/2, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 5 days ago. Respected. Ran well dropped to 5f here last week; up in class but returning to 6f can only help.
7th	11 7th (11) (66/1 -65%) Eldeyaar		66 66/1(-65%)																															(11) Eldeyaar 66/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 12 days ago. Two Class 6 wins in September; well short of his best on his last three starts.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -14%) Mighty Power		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Mighty Power 16/1, Three-time C&D winner. Ninth of 12 over C&D (14/1) 11 days ago. Well-handicapped C&D winner; drops in grade with Paul Mulrennan back on board; contender.
9th	4 9th (4) (4/1 -45%) Jackson Street		4 4/1(-45%)																															(4) Jackson Street 4/1, 5/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner C&D handicap 14 days ago. Can give another good account despite a 5 lb rise. Stayed on well to win over C&D two weeks ago; up 5lb but still unexposed as a sprinter.
10th	8 10th (8) (28/1 -40%) Golden Duke		28 28/1(-40%)																															(8) Golden Duke 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 12¾ lengths last of 11 to Jackson Street over C&D (8/1) 14 days ago. Well treated on even this autumn's best but he ran poorly latest, pulling his chance away.
11th	6 11th (6) (25/1 -25%) Reveiller		25 25/1(-25%)																															(6) Reveiller 25/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 26 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Others are more persuasive. Struggled badly in 2024; dropped 20lb; latest change of headgear is not enough to tempt.

Beale Street won here last month, but paid the price for missing the break back at this track last time, and JACKSON STREET looks a safer proposition. Dylan Cunha's inmate remains unexposed over 6f, having scored over course and distance a fortnight ago, and another bold bid looks on the cards. Rapido Girl is likely to be in the mix too.

TOO MUCH has had a good spell here lately and might be able to resume winning ways back at 6f. Jackson Street, a last-time-out C&D scorer, Beale Street and Tickets head the dangers.

A 5lb higher mark in a better race asks more of JACKSON STREET (nap) but he won well here two weeks ago and is unexposed at 6f.

1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +22%) Bellagio Man		7 7/1(+22%)																															(8) Bellagio Man 7/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Should give another good account for yard also responsible for Spartan Fighter. Not straightforward but more than capable off this mark & ran well at Southwell last week.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) Emily Post		8 8/1(+20%)																															(7) Emily Post 8/1, Course winner. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1) 26 days ago. Needs considering back here off the same mark. 7f course winner; solid run over this trip at Southwell last month; each-way shout.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/2 +18%) Captain Vallo		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(10) Captain Vallo 9/2, C&D winner earlier this month. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 3 days ago, never nearer. Strong claims off the same mark. In good form but this is a stronger race than he has been contesting.
4	2 4th (2) (11/4 0%) King's School		2.75 11/4(0%)																															(2) King's School 11/4, 5/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time and likely to be in the thick of things once again. Banging at the door but he's gone up 11lb for 2nds on last four starts; new trip/headgear.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 -10%) Spartan Fighter		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Spartan Fighter 22/1, Six-time C&D winner, the latest in October. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, going off too hard. Possibilities back down in trip with blinkers refitted. C&D win in October was the last time he raced over 6f; went off too fast latest; chance.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 +27%) Lequinto		8 8/1(+27%)																															(1) Lequinto 8/1, Quirky sort. 50/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks set for another struggle. Not beaten far over 5f last month and he drops in class on this return to his best trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -65%) Giselles Izzy		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Giselles Izzy 33/1, Three wins from 18 runs this year. 40/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Ran okay over 7f here two weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to back it up.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Fletchers Dream		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Fletchers Dream 18/1, C&D winner in November. 13/2, ninth of 12 in handicap back at this course (5f) 24 days ago. Would have a chance if on a going day but his profile is starting to look rather patchy. C&D win last month (made all) but less good over 5f next time; others look stronger.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 +13%) Quintus Arrius		14 14/1(+13%)																															(4) Quintus Arrius 14/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on and needs to raise his game. Low-key return from a wind op here 11 days ago; risky despite his attractive mark.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/2 -22%) Clipsham La Habana		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(3) Clipsham La Habana 11/2, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's a strong each-way candidate. Creditable 3rd over 7f here two weeks ago; quick enough for 6f but needs a bit more to win.

EMILY POST wasn't beaten far when fourth at Southwell last time. The third-placed horse has subsequently won, so that form looks solid enough, and Michael Dods' sprinter was winning off a higher mark at this venue last year. Lequinto is potentially well treated on previous winning form and is not easily dismissed, while King's School gets a change of headgear and could also land a blow.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN VALLO, who put in good late work when third at Southwell on Saturday and he was a decisive winner over this C&D eight days earlier. King's School has been knocking firmly on the door and he will surely will play another leading role, provided that the first-time blinkers have the desired effect. Emily Post is third on the list ahead of Clipsham La Habana.

Bella Kopella hinted at a revival here last time but this could be the day that the cards fall right for BELLAGIO MAN.

1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +53%) Noble Consort		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(5) Noble Consort 7/2, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Live each-way chance. Fair 7f runs in a visor the last twice; needs more on tonight's return to sprinting.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 +20%) Tommytwohoots		16 16/1(+20%)																															(2) Tommytwohoots 16/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October. Respectable 3 lengths sixth of 11 to Cut To The Chase in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 5 days ago. Place possibilities. 3l behind Cut To The Chase over C&D last week; work to do to reverse the placings.
3	1 3rd (1) (85/40 +53%) Cut To The Chase		2.125 85/40(+53%)																															(1) Cut To The Chase 85/40, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. More needed under a penalty. Ready winner of a similar event over C&D last week; strong claims despite the 6lb penalty.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +30%) Ballyare		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Ballyare 14/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 46 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. He hasn't been at his best for a while now and the return to 6f isn't enough to tempt.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 -8%) She'sashambles		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) She'sashambles 13/2, Winner at Thirsk in August. 14/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago. Shortlist material. Series of good C&D runs since winning on turf in August; should go well once again..
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 -82%) Noble Captain		20 20/1(-82%)																															(10) Noble Captain 20/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap back here (17/2) 40 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Two C&D wins last winter; below par latest but two C&D runs in October were fair efforts.
7th	11 7th (11) (15/2 -15%) Asadjumeirah		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(11) Asadjumeirah 15/2, C&D winner. Forty seven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Place possibilities. Placed on his last three starts; return to Class 6 is a plus; losing run of 47 though.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 -54%) Arc Tesoro		10 10/1(-54%)																															(7) Arc Tesoro 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 6/1) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal. Two fair runs in 6f handicaps; likely there is better to come; one to take seriously.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 -65%) Muddy Lynn		14 14/1(-65%)																															(3) Muddy Lynn 14/1, C&D winner in October. 10/1, ninth of 10 in handicap back here 11 days ago. Can make presence felt if able to bounce back from that low-key effort. Below par twice since her C&D win in October; needs a full revival.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -100%) Royal City		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Royal City 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7.1f). Off 7 months (had breathing op) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. No progress in two handicap runs in the spring but she's had a wind op since; check market.
11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -186%) Iva Batt		40 40/1(-186%)																															(12) Iva Batt 40/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 46 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and visor on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Penultimate run gives her claims; this 6f is more suitable than the 5f she tackled latest.
12th	8 12th (8) (33/1 -136%) Gidwa		33 33/1(-136%)																															(8) Gidwa 33/1, Below form ninth of 18 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 17/2), not clear run. Off 176 days but wouldn't be without an each-way chance if fully tuned-up. On a fair mark but he's been off since June and others appeal more.

CUT TO THE CHASE was having only his fifth outing on the all-weather when successful here last week. He seemingly won with plenty left in the tank and has enough scope for further improvement to defy a penalty. She'sashambles has solid claims having found only one too good over course and distance on her latest start, while Royal City returns from a break with a chance.

Preference is for SHE'SASHAMBLES, who is 0-11 on the all-weather but she has been knocking on the door in handicaps here in recent months. Phillip Makin's charge remains on a workable mark and gets the nod ahead of Noble Consort and Asadjumeirah. Recent C&D scorer Cut To The Chase has more on his plate under a penalty.

The drop to 6f worked the oracle for CUT TO THE CHASE here last week and he can defy a penalty at the main expense of Arc Tesoro.

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.
