1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +40%) Kodiac Thriller		2 2/1(+40%)																															(1) Kodiac Thriller 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, good second of 7 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Player with this step up in trip a likely plus. Fairly useful form, second in 6f AW nursery latest; sets the standard now moving up to 7f.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +57%) Midnight Ravens		6 6/1(+57%)																															(2) Midnight Ravens 6/1, Fifth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 11/1) on debut 10 days ago, never nearer. Should improve. Shaped with some promise when fifth on recent 7f Kempton debut; likely to progress.
3	4 3rd (4) (Evens +0%) Waleefy		0 Evens(+0%)																															(4) Waleefy Evens, Foaled May 20. Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to several winners, including top-class duo Baaeed and Hukum. Most interesting newcomer from top yard. Market strength significant for this half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 -100%) Saxon Magic		66 66/1(-100%)																															(3) Saxon Magic 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, last of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 32 days ago. Lots more is required. Down the field in two AW starts last month.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -214%) Hatadora		22 22/1(-214%)																															(5) Hatadora 22/1, 60,000Y. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Kool Moe Dee (by Mehmas). Dam, placed in Germany at 1m, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Smaih. Considered. This newcomer needs checking out in the betting.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 -400%) Turn Up The Heat		20 20/1(-400%)																															(6) Turn Up The Heat 20/1, Foaled April 27. 110,000 gns yearling, Gleneagles filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 1½m/13f winner (stayed 16.5f) Botany Bay from family of Darshaan. One to consider on her first run. From a leading stable and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

LTO Selection:

Kodiac Thriller sets a reasonable standard and rates as the pick of those with previous experience. However, WALEEFY, who is a half-brother to both the mighty Baaeed and high-class Hukum among others, has a stellar pedigree and is hard to ignore given his illustrious relatives. William Haggas has a solid record with his newcomers and this son of Night Of Thunder is yet another highly appealing youngster to run for the Newmarket maestro. The betting market should be heeded where fellow debutants Hatadora and Turn Up The Heat are concerned.

WALEEFY hails from an outstanding family and is in excellent hands too so this half-brother to the top-class pair of Baaeed and Hukum is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Kodiac Thriller has some fair form to his name and should ensure Willie Haggas' colt doesn't have things all his own way. Other newcomers Turn Up The Heat and Hatadora can't be discounted either.

Recent Kempton nursery runner-up KODIAC THRILLER but strong market confidence for Waleefy would put a diferent slant on things.

1	3 1st (3) (9/5 +46%) Issuing Authority		1.8 9/5(+46%)																															(3) Issuing Authority 9/5, Bumper winner who showed fairly useful form when placed all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles last season. Satisfactory start to his chase career when fourth of 9 at Exeter (19f) last month and he's probably capable of better. Consistent in defeat over hurdles; fair fourth on chase debut; entitled to progress.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/10 -38%) Inedit Star		1.1 11/10(-38%)																															(2) Inedit Star 11/10, Useful effort when bolting up in the mud over hurdles at Compiegne in May. Also made a very encouraging start over fences his new stable when second over 2m at Wetherby (heavy) last month, jumping and travelling well in the lead for a long way. The one to beat with improvement likely. Useful hurdle winner in France; promising start over fences at Wetherby recently.
1	1 |PU| (1) (3/1 -20%) Doyen Star		3 3/1(-20%)																															(1) Doyen Star 3/1, Point winner who was 2-2 over hurdles last season. Just seemed to find Grade 2 company too hot on return/chase debut at Wincanton (2½m) 6 weeks ago. Likely improver with his sights lowered. Lost unbeaten record when distant fifth on chase debut but it was Grade 2; better to come.

LTO Selection:

---

DOYEN STAR failed to make an impact in a Grade 2 at Wincanton on his chasing debut, but a drop in class ought to present Evan Williams' charge with a gilt-edged opportunity. That said, Inedit Star heads the trio on official ratings and he should progress from his recent Wetherby second. Issuing Authority has a bit to find, but any improvement will bring him firmly into the reckoning.

INEDIT STAR looks a winner in waiting over fences judged on the way he jumped and travelled on his first attempt at Wetherby and he might be able to dominate his 2 rivals here.

If INEDIT STAR jumps and travels out in front like he did at Wetherby he should be hard to reel in.

1	6 1st (6) (8/1 -100%) Ferrybridge		8 8/1(-100%)																															(6) Ferrybridge 8/1, Didn't show much when trained in Ireland and more miss than hit so far for present connections. On the upside, his mark continues on the slide and he's not the only one of these with a point to prove. Yet to build upon October's encouraging stable debut but has slipped to a good mark.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +45%) Glory Bridge		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(3) Glory Bridge 10/3, Bumper winner who improved on his exploits in novice/maiden hurdles when runner-up on handicap bow at Doncaster in February. Ran no sort of a race when last seen during the spring and doesn't look entirely straightforward but couldn't rule out nevertheless with a very capable conditional aboard. Off since poor run in April but has live claims if judged on Doncaster second in February.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +0%) Uncle Arthur		4 4/1(+0%)																															(5) Uncle Arthur 4/1, Opened hurdles account on fourth and final start for Fergal O'Brien recently but that was in claiming company and looks vulnerable back in a handicap for new yard (also represented here by Ferrybridge). Claimed for £5,000 after winning at Ludlow this month; back in a handicap for new stable.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 +14%) Hide Out		12 12/1(+14%)																															(7) Hide Out 12/1, Long-standing maiden who showed more than he did on debut for this yard when sixth in a 10-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) last time. Each-way chance if able to build on that but will probably find one of two too good. Didn't run badly at Sedgefield last month but now 0-23 over hurdles.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -100%) Neigh Botha		9 9/1(-100%)																															(2) Neigh Botha 9/1, Winner of sole bumper start in February 2022 but hasn't really threated over fences or in this sphere since. That said, he would be in with a shout if able to reproduce the form of his handicap chase third off a 5 lb higher mark at Sedgefield in October. Made too many jumping errors in a chase last time but on workable mark for hurdle return.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 -13%) Batman For Ever		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(1) Batman For Ever 9/2, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at up to 2½m in France in 2021 but has offered little for current yard. Hard to fancy back from 8 months off. Well beaten on all five British starts but still needs close attention in the betting.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 +60%) A Cheap Thrill		16 16/1(+60%)																															(8) A Cheap Thrill 16/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Emmet Mullins but yet to fire for present yard and overall record now stands at 0-21. Today's quicker ground offers a ray of hope but he has basically become disappointing.
4	4 |PU| (4) (9/2 -13%) Prince Nino		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Prince Nino 9/2, Won twice over 2½m at Perth at the end of the summer and creditable fourth to the in-form Horn Cape (winner again since) at Sedgefield last month. Laboured effort back there last time but cheekpieces refitted (both wins gained in this headgear) and he's not discounted. Dual 2m4f winner this summer; current mark probably demands career-best effort.

LTO Selection:

---

An interesting recruit to the James Owen stable, following a taking success at Ludlow earlier in the month, UNCLE ARTHUR may be able to overcome a 7lb rise to notch a third career success. Stablemate Ferrybrige is a key player, along with the capable Prince Nino and Neigh Botha, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Sedgefield when third over fences.

In a race devoid of a solid option, FERRYBRIDGE is the suggestion. He is now 11 lb lower in the weights compared to when finishing a respectable fourth on debut for James Owen at Sedgefield in October and the testing conditions were perhaps against him last time. Glory Bridge and Prince Nino may emerge as the main dangers.

Jumping issues have held him back in recent chases but today's return to hurdling may enable NEIGH BOTHA to exploit a career-low mark.

1	9 1st (9) (11/2 +15%) Top Cloud		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(9) Top Cloud 11/2, Much improved for new yard after wind surgery, making it 3 wins in 4 starts at Taunton (3m) last month. Raised another 6 lb but there could easily be more to come. 3-4 in handicaps this autumn; softer than good would ask a question, along with 6lb rise.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/8 +41%) Scamallach Liath		1.625 13/8(+41%)																															(1) Scamallach Liath 13/8, Irish point winner who was placed on all his four runs over hurdles last season for Oliver Sherwood and made a winning start for new trainer Harry Derham over a slightly longer trip here last month. Good chance there's more to come for this yard. Progressive 221 record in handicap hurdles, the win here (nearly 3m1f) when well backed.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -80%) Transmission		18 18/1(-80%)																															(3) Transmission 18/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who made a respectable start for his new yard when second in a 25 Huntingdon maiden last month. Switches to handicap company now from a mark which demands improvement. Ex-Irish; 2nd in 3m1f maiden at Huntingdon; needs to build on that on this handicap debut.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 -60%) Zonda		8 8/1(-60%)																															(8) Zonda 8/1, Boasts an appealing pedigree and promise when reaching the frame in 2m novice hurdles at Chepstow and Taunton in recent weeks. Steps up markedly in trip for handicap debut. One to keep a close eye on in the betting. Now tongue tied; with nearly an extra 1m, he's hugely unexposed for this handicap debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +14%) Wrappedupinmay		3 3/1(+14%)																															(2) Wrappedupinmay 3/1, Wide-margin winner of sole point and came home in splendid isolation on Exeter bumper debut on New Year's Day. Runner-up in maiden/novice hurdles this season and very interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps. Lost at 8-13 last three outings; realistic opening handicap mark and shapes like a stayer.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -100%) Idefix De Ciergues		16 16/1(-100%)																															(6) Idefix De Ciergues 16/1, Runner-up sole start in points. Shaped like a stayer in bumpers last winter and again when third in a couple of maiden hurdles this season. Potential improver now faced with an increased stamina test on handicap debut. Should be set for better at some point and penultimate start hinted he could be a stayer.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -75%) Illogical Logic		28 28/1(-75%)																															(5) Illogical Logic 28/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points. Well held in 2m novices first 2 starts over hurdles but offered more when stepped up to 2½m at Ffos Las last month. Potential for better again now handicapping over even further. Should be capable of further improvement; a market check is advised on this handicap debut.
4	4 |PU| (4) (8/1 -23%) Micro Millions		8 8/1(-23%)																															(4) Micro Millions 8/1, £40,000 buy after winning an Irish point. Third in maiden hurdles around 2½m for new stable and he's of interest now making a quick switch to handicap company. Early days and a new trip, so the improvement he needs on handicap debut is not ruled out.
7	7 |PU| (7) (40/1 -100%) Technology		40 40/1(-100%)																															(7) Technology 40/1, Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second in a Wetherby novice hurdle in February. However, pulled up on handicap debut the following month and didn't get very far on his chase debut/reappearance. Quickly reverts to hurdles. Pulled up on soft in March; back over hurdles, with plenty of stamina in his pedigree.

LTO Selection:

---

Top-weight SCAMALLACH LIATH was a comfortable winner over an extended 3m here last month and a subsequent 6lb rise not be enough to stop him today, on what is just his second start for Harry Derham's yard. Wrappedupinmay steps up in trip for his handicap debut, as does Micro Millions, with the pair both meriting the utmost respect. Zonda could improve for the addition of a first-time tongue-tie, while Top Cloud, a winner on three of his last four starts, is also noted.

An interesting opener, featuring several unexposed sorts. IDEFIX DE CIERGUES promises to be well suited by this step up to 3m and gets the vote to make a successful switch to handicap company. Wrappedupinmay, Top Cloud, who has thrived since switching to Robbie Llewellyn, and Micro Millions head the many dangers.

Most are seriously unexposed but SCAMALLACH LIATH sets a demanding standard with his win over a slightly longer trip here last month.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +75%) Sun God		2.25 9/4(+75%)																															(4) Sun God 9/4, 6/1, completely let himself down when fourth of 5 in nursery at Chelmsford City (8f) 9 days ago, proving virtually unrideable under pressure. Up in trip. Very much one to be wary of now. Down the field in all four runs and he needs improvement at this new trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 -220%) Dunstan		8 8/1(-220%)																															(2) Dunstan 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4, got back on track down in grade when second of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) just over 5 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett (38,000 gns). Cheekpieces on 1st time. Runner-up in three of his five runs; changed hands for 38,000gns; respected for new yard.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 -35%) Dubawi Time		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(6) Dubawi Time 9/2, 9/2, turned in a tame effort on qualifying run when fifth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. With top yard and is still unexposed but he needs improvement on nursery debut.
4	5 4th (5) (7/2 -17%) It's Not Risky		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(5) It's Not Risky 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, ran best race on all-weather debut when second of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 22/1) 30 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut. Has to be taken seriously. Clear second behind an improver at Wolverhampton and has claims if he can back that up.
5th	1 5th (1) (3/1 +10%) Freds Mate		3 3/1(+10%)																															(1) Freds Mate 3/1, Much improved from debut when won 8-runner minor event (15/2) at Newcastle (8f) just under 8 weeks ago, edging ahead final 50 yds. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut and should continue to progress. Brave win in Newcastle novice and he's open to more progress on nursery debut; big player.
6th	3 6th (3) (50/1 -213%) Yeah Nah		50 50/1(-213%)																															(3) Yeah Nah 50/1, Debut winner at Salisbury in August. 100/1, given a considerate return from a break on first run since leaving Richard Hannon when ninth of 12 in nursery at this course (7f, AW) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Possibly a longer-term project for this stable. Disappointing since her debut win in August and has plenty to prove upped 1m2f.

LTO Selection:

---

FREDS MATE showed battling qualities when he got off the mark in a restricted novice stakes at Newcastle in October and, with the step up trip likely to suit, the son of Gleneagles is open to considerable improvement on his nursery bow. Dunstan showed some ability on the all-weather for his former yard and can also be fancied go well if he adapts to the first-time cheekpieces on his debut run for Barry Brennan. It's Not Risky completes the shortlist.

This can go the way of IT'S NOT RISKY, who ran his best race fitted in more severe headgear when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month and provided the visor is just as effective here, Hugo Palmer's gelding can open his account. Freds Mate took a big step forward from his debut when scoring at Newcastle in October so he can give the selection most to do, ahead of Dunstan, who makes his first start for Barry Brennan.

The twice-raced FREDS MATE found plenty of progress with his Newcastle win and may well be able to strike again on his nursery debut.

1	8 1st (8) (6/1 -71%) Pawapuri		6 6/1(-71%)																															(8) Pawapuri 6/1, Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas who made the most of a good opportunity down in grade at Wincanton (15.2f) 30 days ago, scoring with plenty in hand. Will go on improving and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this slightly longer trip. Useful on Flat; third time lucky over hurdles at Wincanton (1m7f); up in class and trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (17/2 -21%) Lunar Discovery		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(7) Lunar Discovery 17/2, Above-average dual bumper who made it 2 from 2 over hurdles when defying a penalty in a 5-runner affair at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 10 days ago, pushed out. Type to improve further. Dual bumper winner and 2-2 over hurdles at Hexham; well worth this crack at higher level.
3	6 3rd (6) (3/1 +0%) Little Miss Dante		3 3/1(+0%)																															(6) Little Miss Dante 3/1, Southwell bumper winner who was all the rage in the betting and looked potentially useful once again in taking her hurdles record to 2 wins from as many starts at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 27 days ago. Sure to go on to better things. 2-2 in novice hurdles; unlikely to give up unbeaten hurdle record without a fight.
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 +0%) El Elefante		3 3/1(+0%)																															(4) El Elefante 3/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and fairly useful form when making all both bumper outings. Could hardly have been more impressive switched to hurdling when thrashing 3 previous winners at Perth (20.2f) and backed up that effort when fifth in better company at Cheltenham since. Much respected. 2-2 in bumpers; easy winner on hurdle debut and fifth in Grade 2 since; sets the standard.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +30%) Alfie's Princess		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(1) Alfie's Princess 7/2, Point winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, defying a penalty at the first time of asking in a 10-runner novice at Exeter (18.5, soft) 33 days ago, responding well. Open to further improvement and can make her presence felt up in grade. Has won both novice hurdle starts and can make her mark in this higher grade.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +29%) Getaway Theatre		10 10/1(+29%)																															(5) Getaway Theatre 10/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt in April and well suited by emphasis on stamina when making winning hurdles bow over 22f at Stratford in November. No match for an improver at Exeter since and this drop in trip isn't sure to suit now upped in grade. Point winner who struck on 2m6f hurdle debut; second since but this demands more.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -14%) Blue Baloo		16 16/1(-14%)																															(2) Blue Baloo 16/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and made a successful debut over hurdles in 12-runner maiden at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. This is much tougher but she's open to improvement. Bumper/maiden hurdle winner at Newcastle; more needed but she is likely capable of better.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -10%) Southern Babylon		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Southern Babylon 22/1, 80,000 gns purchase after placing in an Irish point in May 2022 and confirmed the promise of her hurdling debut when landing 13-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) last month, benefiting from the step up in trip. This demands more but she hasn't finished improving by any means. Built on Sedgefield second when ready winner over 2m4f at Market Rasen; has more to give.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -100%) Chosen Hero		66 66/1(-100%)																															(3) Chosen Hero 66/1, Fair bumper winner who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when second of 13 in a novice at Hexham (16.2f, heavy). Derailed by late errors at Newcastle (20.3f) a fortnight later and has plenty to find up in grade. Bumper winner; second on hurdle debut but behind Blue Baloo at Newcastle since.

LTO Selection:

---

Having secured a midfield finish in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April, ALFIE'S PRINCESS has not looked back upon switching to hurdles, winning on both starts. She faces some equally as exciting prospects today, but the daughter of Shirocco can stand her authority in this higher grade. Little Miss Dante completed the hat-trick at Uttoxeter last month and must be feared. Others to note include Pawapuri and El Elefante.

ALFIE'S PRINCESS has a likeable way of going about things and, with further improvement on the cards, she's fancied to take the step up in grade in her stride and maintain her unbeaten record over hurdles. Little Miss Dante and Pawapuri also look promising, and they head the opposition in an interesting event.

Although EL ELEFANTE lost her unbeaten rules record in a Grade 2 last time she wasn't beaten far and can now resume winning ways.

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +33%) Jet Legs		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(4) Jet Legs 10/3, Dual winner around 3m over hurdles last term and he has shaped encouragingly when fourth over fences at Carlisle and Wetherby this term. One for the shortlist. Made promising chase debut in October and didn't have race run to suit last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/2 +25%) Donny Boy		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(1) Donny Boy 15/2, Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles but he jumped hesitantly when remote second of 4 in handicap chase (9/2) at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Needs to brush up his fencing. Well handicapped on hurdling form but yet to convince as a chaser.

Hiked up 12 lb but has more to offer. Player. Began chasing career with two very convincing wins at Huntingdon; up in grade here.

Weighted to go in again despite taking a 7 lb rise. Placed in first two chases before improved round of jumping enabled 19l win this month.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 -31%) William Of York		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(5) William Of York 17/2, Improved over hurdles for Dan Skelton during the spring, completing a hat-trick at Warwick. Shaped enouragingly on yard/chase debut when second of 5 in 2m3f Doncaster handicap so can't be ruled out. Triple hurdle winner in the spring and made satisfactory stable/chase debut this month.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -83%) Firth Of Forth		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Firth Of Forth 22/1, A fair maiden hurdler who was tried in cheekpieces when below-par third of 5 in handicap at Kelso (22.7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Headgear is left off for his chase debut. Regressive maiden hurdler; needs to up his game on today's chasing debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 +45%) Fortcanyon		11 11/1(+45%)																															(7) Fortcanyon 11/1, Pair of handicap hurdle wins at up to 3m earlier in the year. Point background but let down by jumping on chasing debut when well held at Sedgefield on return. Needs to step forward. Dual hurdle winner in early part of this year but didn't jump well enough on chasing debut.

LTO Selection:

REGARDE has made quite the start to his career over fences and, following a pair of comfortable successes at Huntingdon, he can bring up the hat-trick with David Bass taking over in the saddle. Snowy Evening could not have won any easier at Doncaster, though a 7lb rise will make life tougher, while Donny Boy is another open to improvement having finished runner-up on two of his last three starts.

SNOWY EVENING took a big step forward when opening his account at Doncaster and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Hat-trick seeking Regarde also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious danger, with William of York appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Another chance is given to JET LEGS, who did not have the race run to suit when a beaten favourite at Wetherby last time.

1	3 1st (3) (11/4 +61%) Excello		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(3) Excello 11/4, Useful form over hurdles and fences at up to 2¾m in France, including a win in this sphere at Auteuil in March. Failed to justify favouritism on debut for new yard in a novice hurdle here last month, though, and faces a stiff task back chasing. Beaten fav over hurdles on stable debut; even French chase form gives him a bit to find.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/6 -14%) Solo		0.833333 5/6(-14%)																															(1) Solo 5/6, Looked as good as ever when landing the Pendil at Kempton in February and reappearance second to the race-fit Elixir de Nutz (winner again since) in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter (17.5f, soft) was a solid effort. Runner-up both previous starts over fences here and should go one better this time. Classy chaser who could enjoy a soft lead and these terms are very favourable.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 -71%) Straw Fan Jack		3 3/1(-71%)																															(2) Straw Fan Jack 3/1, Dual winner over fences last term and, though safely held in Grade 1s at the big spring festivals, positives can be taken from the way he travelled when chasing home Pic D'Orhy in a C&D Grade 2 on return. Should strip fitter now but likely to again find one from the Nicholls yard too strong in Solo. Classy chaser but he would be receiving 9lb off Solo in a handicap.

LTO Selection:

---

Already a Grade 2 winner over fences, SOLO is presented with a golden opportunity to further enhance his profile and, assuming he finds no issues with returning to this trip, this could prove to be a straightforward task. Straw Fan Jack has something to find based on the official ratings but, as he proved with a respectable second-placed finish here last moth, he is dangerous to underestimate. Nicky Henderson's newcomer, Excello, has experience of fences from his time in France and can only benefit form his first start on these shores.

This step back up in distance will suit SOLO, who didn't do much wrong over a trip short of his best back from a six-month absence in the Haldon Gold Cup and he is hard to oppose. Straw Fan Jack chased home Solo's stablemate Pic d'Orhy over this C&D on his reappearance and looks set to again play second fiddle to a smart Nicholls-trained chaser. French-import Excello will surely win races for his new connections but is probably biting off more than he can chew here.

Opposing SOLO is risky business. He is favoured by the weights and an easy lead that plays to his strengths looks his for the taking.

1	2 1st (2) (25/1 -108%) Crystal Casque		25 25/1(-108%)																															(2) Crystal Casque 25/1, Four wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Ascot in September. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at the same course (7f, good, 14/1) 78 days ago. One of two of these are potentially better treated. Three 1m turf wins in 2023 show she's still useful on her day; all five AW wins at Kempton.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 +33%) Dayzee		8 8/1(+33%)																															(3) Dayzee 8/1, Three wins from 5 runs this year. 22/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good). Off 162 days ahead of this debut for new yard and looks vulnerable. Three wins in 2023, including twice on AW; returns for a new yard after 162 days off.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 -135%) Twirling		1.875 15/8(-135%)																															(1) Twirling 15/8, Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 8/13, won 5-runner minor event at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago, easily. Further progress likely now handicapping and she's a big player. 2-3 in 1m Kempton novices; almost certainly capable of better again in handicaps.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +33%) Measured Moments		3 3/1(+33%)																															(5) Measured Moments 3/1, 15/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago, nearest finish. This is a higher-grade contest but she's a solid, consistent performer and should be in the thick of things once again. In good form on AW, close second at Wolverhampton latest; another bold bid seems likely.
5th	4 5th (4) (2/1 +33%) Roarin' Success		2 2/1(+33%)																															(4) Roarin' Success 2/1, Latest win at Ascot in July. Good third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (7f) 38 days ago. Return to this trip looks a good move and she makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Good third back on AW at Kempton (7f) last month; has won at 1m unlikely to be far away.

LTO Selection:

---

A small field for a contest that may be dominated by TWIRLING as the Crisfords' filly makes her handicap debut carrying top-weight. The winner of two of her three starts at Kempton, she made all the running on her latest outing to come home clear of her rivals and similar tactics may see her follow up. Crystal Casque has won 12 times with five of those on the all-weather, but she needs a career best to win off this mark and Wolverhampton second Measured Moments may prove to be the bigger danger.

Preference is for ROARIN' SUCCESS, who shaped very well indeed back from a three-month break when a close third at Kempton, leaving the strong impression that the return to this trip would be in her favour. Unexposed handicap debutante Twirling is potentially useful and is a much-respected main danger, with the likeable Measured Moments also expected to make her presence felt.

Twirling will likely be popular but an opening mark of 87 is no gimme and it might be worth her taking on with MEASURED MOMENTS.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +17%) Famous Bridge		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(3) Famous Bridge 5/2, Promising sort who made it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off the reopposing Credo and Eleanor Bob over C&D 4 weeks ago. Didn't look all out so a 6 lb rise may not stop him. Recent C&D winner and profile would suggest he can keep progressing for a while yet.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -9%) Burrows Diamond		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Burrows Diamond 12/1, Resumed winning ways when taking a 7-runner handicap over 3m at Wetherby last December. Respectable efforts on 2 of her 3 outings this term and she was twice runner-up off higher marks last season. Latest Aintree second has been franked; considered off a perfectly good mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -22%) Credo		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(4) Credo 11/2, Won twice in mares' events last season and added to tally at Wincanton (27f) on reappearance in October. Good length second to Famous Bridge over C&D since. Ought to be thereabouts again. Pushed Famous Bridge close over C&D last month and they look closely matched.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +41%) Bill Baxter		5 5/1(+41%)																															(1) Bill Baxter 5/1, Had a fine first season over fences, gaining fourth success when gamely landing the Topham over the National fences at Aintree (21f) in April. Good third in Carlisle listed race on reappearance and should find this a bit easier than the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury last time. Not a bad run in Newbury's big staying chase but his peak form has been over shorter.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 -122%) Enqarde		10 10/1(-122%)																															(7) Enqarde 10/1, Landed this race 2 years ago and back to form after another wind operation when making a successful reappearance at Warwick last month. Up 4 lb but he remains 1 lb below the mark he won this from. Last-time-out winner who took this in 2021; consistency is not his forte.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +18%) Dr Kananga		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Dr Kananga 9/1, Progressive staying chaser in 2021/22 but disappointing last term and chance he'll need this first run of season after 9 months off. Has had wind surgery. On a good mark after wind surgery and resumes with conditions in his favour.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/2 +22%) Eleanor Bob		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(9) Eleanor Bob 7/2, Much improved when bagging pair of small field mares' handicap chases early in 2022 and showed she retains all of her ability back from a lengthy absence when 4¼ lengths fourth to Famous Bridge (Credo second) over C&D 28 days ago, leading until approaching the last. Encouraging return from a layoff when fourth to Famous Bridge here; 5lb claim handy.
8	8 |U| (8) (22/1 +33%) Conkwell Legend		22 22/1(+33%)																															(8) Conkwell Legend 22/1, Pretty useful hurdler but hasn't covered himself in glory in 3 starts over fences so far, finishing a distant last of 3 in a Grade 2 novice at Sandown recently. More realistic chance back in a handicap but still tough to make a case for. 0-3 as a chaser; even if pulling his socks up he'll do well to beat the best of these.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 -200%) Cooper's Cross		33 33/1(-200%)																															(2) Cooper's Cross 33/1, Dual winner last term who ended the season with an excellent second in Scottish National at Ayr. Presumably needed the outing when fading into eighth in Grand Sefton over the National fences at Aintree on his reappearance 6 weeks ago. Should last longer now. Has the form to play a major part but heavy ground doesn't look his cup of tea.

LTO Selection:

---

Enqarde won this in 2021 off a 1lb higher mark and is back for more after winning on his return at Warwick in November. The nine-year-old is impossible to ignore, but he may have to settle for a place on this occasion. Famous Bridge seems likely to prove popular after winning last time out, but he was only a length in front of CREDO that day, and he meets that rival on 3lb worse terms now. The selection stays even further and a fast-run race, as expected here, could play to his strengths.

FAMOUS BRIDGE didn't look all out when accounting for Credo and Eleanor Bob in a C&D handicap on Betfair Chase day and can continue a step ahead of the handicapper. Bill Baxter wasn't disgraced in the ultra-competitive Coral Gold Cup at Newbury at the beginning of the month and might be the one to give the selection most to do.

Famous Bridge is the obvious starting point but ELEANOR BOB is not without hope of reversing last month's placings over C&D.

1	5 1st (5) (17/2 +15%) Brayhill		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(5) Brayhill 17/2, Successful start over fences at Kelso (23.4f) last November but tried in cheekpieces when pulled up there 11 months ago. Resumes after breathing surgery with his fitness to prove. Absent since poor run a year ago but made very promising start to chase career last autumn.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 +29%) Ladronne		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(6) Ladronne 5/2, Course winner who travelled strongly for a long way when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 35 days ago. Considered back in trip. Ran big race until stamina drained away over 3m on heavy ground last month.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 +46%) Nocte Volatus		1.875 15/8(+46%)																															(1) Nocte Volatus 15/8, Drew a blank last term but he arrives in very good nick, third of 11 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 53 days ago. Since had a wind op and bold showing is on the cards. Placed twice in October and remains on a workable mark; had wind op last month; a player.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +5%) Everyday Champagne		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(7) Everyday Champagne 10/3, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) 49 days ago. Up 5 lb but well in the mix with cheekpieces retained. Scored in first-time cheekpieces on last month's stable debut; further progress possible.
4	4 |F| (4) (8/1 -191%) Mint Gold		8 8/1(-191%)																															(4) Mint Gold 8/1, Made light of a 30-month absence when landing 4-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs to back it up now. Returned from long absence with small-field win last month; still well treated on old form.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 -136%) Innovated		33 33/1(-136%)																															(2) Innovated 33/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead but onlyu seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running for his new stable. Sold out of Henry de Bromhead's for £7,000 after two disappointing runs; stable debut.

LTO Selection:

---

EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE bounced back to winning ways at Ayr last month on his first start for new connections. The seven-year-old should be able to build on that effort with conditions in his favour once more and just a 5lb rise to contend with. Musselburgh scorer Mint Gold and the consistent Nocte Volatus can give him the most to think about.

A case can be made for a few of these but NOCTE VOLATUS figures on a handy-looking mark and is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season on the back of a wind op. Everyday Champagne hit the ground running for his new yard when scoring at Ayr and is feared most ahead of course-scorer Ladronne.

Topweight NOCTE VOLATUS is 2lb lower than when chasing home a smart rival on his seasonal debut in October and he appeals most.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +25%) Triple Trade		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(4) Triple Trade 9/4, Got his act together over fences during the spring, winning twice, and has continued on the up this season, building on good reappearance second at Cheltenham when going one better there in November. Solid third in a valuable handicap here (16.8f, good to soft) latest and he's a big player. Improving chaser; good effort in competitive 2m1f race here latest; has won at 2m4f.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +10%) Harper's Brook		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(5) Harper's Brook 9/2, Good start over fences last term, winning Bangor novice handicap in the mud and runner-up at Sandown on final start of that campaign (threw the race away by hanging badly on the run-in). No show on return in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, though, and it's not hard to have reservations. All wins at 2m4f; behind on return to action; less testing company and finish will suit.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -144%) Shan Blue		11 11/1(-144%)																															(2) Shan Blue 11/1, One-time smart chaser who has only been seen out 3 times since April 2022, pulled up on each occasion. Down to a potentially handy mark as a consequence and he'd be a huge player if the first-time cheekpieces were to spark a revival. High-class 3m chaser in his prime; never shown true worth since a terrible fall in 2021.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -100%) Eden Du Houx		18 18/1(-100%)																															(7) Eden Du Houx 18/1, Doubled his tally in this sphere at Ffos Las last November but he's not the most consistent and is opposable on balance. Has undergone another wind op since his latest start in March. Form tends to yo-yo; had another wind op since March; capable at 2m4f but hard to predict.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -38%) Black Gerry		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(3) Black Gerry 11/2, Won all 4 of his starts when completing last season, seeing off five rivals with another polished display in Plumpton handicap in April. However, never in the hunt on return in the Paddy Power Gold Cup and while this is a less taxing assignment, others make more appeal. Still improving in the spring; pulled up on return but this is more his level; involved..
6	6 |PU| (6) (5/2 +29%) Cap Du Mathan		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(6) Cap Du Mathan 5/2, Dual-winning hurdler who opened his account over fences in a Taunton handicap in January. Followed up in an Exeter novice a month later and, having performed with credit when fourth on return here (16.8f, good to soft) and he's a must the shortlist. Very solid 4th in a better race than this here on return; dropped 2lb; major player.
1	1 |PU| (1) (33/1 -83%) El Barra		33 33/1(-83%)																															(1) El Barra 33/1, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins but he's hard to warm to on the back of a dismal effort on return/debut for new yard over hurdles at Galway in October. Smart at best for W Mullins; failed to complete in 2 runs this year, latest for new yard.

LTO Selection:

TRIPLE TRADE has taken his form to a new level this season with a string of consistent performances including a victory at Cheltenham in November. The seven-year-old finished a solid third in a valuable handicap here last time and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Black Gerry drops in class after being pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and it would be no surprise to see him return to form. Others to consider include Cap Du Mathan and Harper's Brook.

It was a strong handicap in which CAP DU MATHAN was an encouraging fourth to Boothill on his reappearance at this course last month and, with that run under his belt and reunited with Harry Cobden, he is appealing off this 2 lb lower mark. Triple Trade also performed well behind Boothill in a similarly valuable handicap here last time and looks a big threat, while Shan Blue is dangerous to discount having slipped to a potentially handy mark, for all that he has a fair bit to prove at present.

In-form TRIPLE TRADE is a solid contender back here although Black Gerry is likely to come on plenty for his recent reappearance.

1	6 1st (6) (5/4 +64%) Sassy Redhead		1.25 5/4(+64%)																															(6) Sassy Redhead 5/4, C&D winner.

She is running well and found only one too good at Chelmsford on Thursday.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +17%) Come On Girl		5 5/1(+17%)																															(3) Come On Girl 5/1, Four-time C&D winner.

Absent since May but she returns in a lower grade than she's accustomed to.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -25%) Miss Moonshine		20 20/1(-25%)																															(5) Miss Moonshine 20/1, Won back-to-back races earlier this year, successful at this C&D in February. However, has lost her form since, last of 9 in handicap on the turf here (6f, good, 18/1) on her latest outing in July. C&D winner off 5lb higher in February; out of sorts in the summer; return to AW a plus.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -45%) I'm Mable		16 16/1(-45%)																															(4) I'm Mable 16/1, Failed to come on for recent run when eighth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at this course (5f, AW) 17 days ago, never nearer. Needs to get back on track returned to this longer trip. On a handy mark and she should be at her peak after two runs back from a break; e-w claims.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 -189%) Essme		6.5 13/2(-189%)																															(10) Essme 13/2, Having had a wind op, has run well on her last 2 starts, headed only close home when third of 8 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D (AW) 46 days ago. Major player. Hard to win with but two sound efforts since wind surgery; opposable from a wide stall.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -203%) Carry On Aitch		100 100/1(-203%)																															(7) Carry On Aitch 100/1, Off the mark at Windsor in June but hasn't been able to match that level since, again finishing well held when eighth of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. One run for this yard that gives him claims but disappointing twice since.
7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 +8%) Street Life		6 6/1(+8%)																															(8) Street Life 6/1, C&D winner. Well supported (4/1) but could only finish ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 17 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but more needed to take advantage. Won off 17lb higher in June but his form since has been mixed at best.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 -33%) Desert Boots		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Desert Boots 6/1, Course winner. Made little impression when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 12/1) when last seen in February. Lurks on a dangerous mark as he makes first run for yard after leaving Simon Pearce. Course winner; placed off 9lb higher here in January; interesting on stable debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 -32%) Deep Spirit		33 33/1(-32%)																															(11) Deep Spirit 33/1, Opened account at Yarmouth in August but below form since, in first-time visor when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 40/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers now the choice of headgear. Disappointing since springing a surprise at Yarmouth in August; new headgear tried today.

Blinkers now reached for. Well beaten at big prices in two runs for this yard; new headgear not enough to tempt.
11th	9 11th (9) (66/1 -371%) Seeking Perfection		66 66/1(-371%)																															(9) Seeking Perfection 66/1, Struggled for form in 2022, last of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) on her latest run in March. Off 21 months ahead of first start for yard after leaving Phil McEntee. Blinkers/tongue strap on for 1st time. Well treated on best 3yo form but absent for 653 days; market to guide on stable debut.

With little recent winning form to work with, this may be best left to COME ON GIRL, four times a course and distance winner and all off higher marks than she suffers here. Admittedly, she was a well-beaten 10th at Thirsk when last seen in May, but she returns from a break and may do better for it. Essme was only beaten a length here off the same mark last month which makes her a very serious danger to all, while Desert Boots has been given a chance by the handicapper to bounce back.

ESSME has returned to form on her last 2 starts having had a breathing operation, headed only close home when third at this C&D last time, so she looks ready to get back to winning ways. The main danger could be Sassy Redhead, who ran well when runner-up at Chelmsford on Thursday, with Come On Girl completing the shortlist.

In a trappy race DESERT BOOTS is fancied to make a winning debut for his new yard. Perfect Focus could prove the main danger.

1	7 1st (7) (9/1 -80%) The Churchill Lad		9 9/1(-80%)																															(7) The Churchill Lad 9/1, Won juvenile events at Cartmel and Catterick early last season. All the better for reappearance when head second of 9 at Musselburgh (2m, soft) 23 days ago. Likely to be competitive again. Free-goer; went down fighting in bold bid from the front at Musselburgh last month.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +10%) Goobinator		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Goobinator 9/2, Useful hurdler at his peak who made light of an 18-month absence on the Flat at Catterick in October. Well treated on his peak efforts in this sphere and no surprise to see him go well. Returned from long layoff with Flat win in October and current hurdle mark is workable.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +18%) Bubble Dubi		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(6) Bubble Dubi 9/2, Let down by his jumping when third of 4 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m, soft, 11/10) on debut over fences in October but quickly back on track returned to hurdles when 2 lengths third of 12 in 2m Huntingdon handicap 4 weeks ago. Placed in series final over C&D in April and returns here after a good effort last month.
4	8 4th (8) (9/2 +36%) Risk D'argent		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(8) Risk D'argent 9/2, Winning hurdler who reappeared with a good second of 17 at Warwick last month. A 3 lb rise looks fair enough given he was 11 lengths clear of the third. Player. Well clear of third when second of 17 on seasonal debut; still well treated after 3lb rise.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/2 +38%) Jagwar		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(5) Jagwar 5/2, Runner-up on both starts a year apart (trained in France on debut), going down by only a head in Aintree novice for new connections at the end of October. Interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps. Engaged 2.30 Ascot Friday. Went close in Aintree maiden on British debut; should have more to offer in handicaps.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 +33%) Bois Guillbert		4 4/1(+33%)																															(4) Bois Guillbert 4/1, Lightly-raced gelding who picked up where he left off returning from 6 months off when landing 7-runner 2m Kelso handicap hurdle in October. Creditable third of 7 in 2m Cheltenham conditions event since. Leading claims back in a handicap, Won on seasonal/handicap debut in October and ran well at Cheltenham later that month.

LTO Selection:

---

The early betting suggests this is wide-open, but with the Donald McCain yard in among the winners, GOOBINATOR could go well. Last seen winning on the Flat at Catterick in late-October, the returns to hurdles doesn't appear likely to stop him from progressing further. Stable companion Word Has It won at Fontwell last month and only has 1lb more from the handicapper now which makes him a serious rival, along with Risk D'Argent, who looks booked for yet another place over the smaller obstacles. Jagwar was narrowly denied when second on his UK debut at Aintree in October and should go well again.

BOIS GUILLBERT remains capable of better and can resume winning ways back in a handicap. Goobinator is well treated on his best hurdles form and a Flat success at Catterick in the autumn suggests he retains all his ability so he's second choice ahead of Risk d'Argent. Jagwar could also have a big say if turning up here rather than Ascot on Friday.

The pick is BOIS GUILLBERT, who is 3-5 over hurdles and faded out of contention in only the closing stages of a good race last time.

1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +44%) North Parade		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(6) North Parade 5/2, Jumped with greater fluency than has often been the case when landing a gamble over this C&D 9 days ago. Gone up 7 lb for that but he pulled well clear of the rest with the runner-up and should make his presence felt. Drew well clear with runner-up when rewarding strong market support over C&D last week.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -43%) Millie Of Mayo		10 10/1(-43%)																															(8) Millie Of Mayo 10/1, Lightly-raced and largely below par since winning 3 on the bounce in 2020, but produced her best effort for a while when third of 12 in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (21f, soft) last month, finishing just behind the re-opposing runner-up, Eden Mill. Solid each-way chance. Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when placed last month but is not the force of old.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -43%) Singapore Trip		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Singapore Trip 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at his best in France but safely held on debut for present connections at Wetherby and he's hard to recommend on the back of that. Ex-French 5yo; soundly beaten on British debut but benefits from big drop in grade here.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -150%) Rowdy Rustler		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Rowdy Rustler 50/1, Maiden hurdle winner here in February 2022 and good second on chase debut back here on return last season. However, it's been downhill pretty much all the way since. C&D maiden winner in early 2022 but seems to have lost his way this year.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 +0%) Eden Mill		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(7) Eden Mill 9/2, Resumed with a good second at Kelso (21f, soft) last month and built on that when scoring with a good deal to spare over the same C&D next time. Hard to grumble with a 7 lb rise and he has to enter calculations. Improved performer this season, and opened account with comfortable Kelso win last month.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/4 +0%) Montregard		1.5 6/4(+0%)																															(2) Montregard 6/4, Half-brother to Protektorat and made it second time lucky when landing a 19f Warwick maiden hurdle (good to soft) in April, despite still looking very much like a work in progress. Armed with a good deal of potential now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Very unexposed 4yo who won Warwick maiden in April; handicap debut today.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -11%) Faithfulflyer		10 10/1(-11%)																															(5) Faithfulflyer 10/1, Had a productive first season for Sandy Thomson, scoring twice, and good third of 7 on return at Kelso in October. Bad mistake 3 out provides an excuse for a lesser effort at Musselburgh since and he's an each-way player. Didn't fire on latest outing but progressive otherwise; no surprise if he features.
1	1 |PU| (1) (20/1 -122%) Kitesurfer		20 20/1(-122%)																															(1) Kitesurfer 20/1, Won juvenile hurdle on his only race in France back in May 2022 and produced best effort so far on these shores when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) last time. Each-way shout if able to build on that here. Still has low mileage but was just a respectable fourth when upped to 2m4f last month.

LTO Selection:

---

Following a solid runner-up effort at the same track last month, EDEN MILL could not have done it any easier at Kelso last time out and he can follow up despite a 7lb rise for that success. The son of Leading Light gets the vote ahead of the unexposed handicap debutant Montregard and North Parade, who was a determined winner on heavy ground over C&D recently.

While he's up against some race-fit, in-form rivals, MONTREGARD is completely unexposed and possesses the potential to go on to prove himself a good deal better than his opening mark would imply. Eden Mill did the job well at Kelso last time and is second choice, albeit only marginally as Millie of Mayo and North Parade are also appealing for forecast purposes.

The most interesting runner is unexposed 4yo MONTREGARD (nap), who was not fully extended when winning a Warwick maiden in the spring.

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -43%) Crambo		5 5/1(-43%)																															(3) Crambo 5/1, Dual bumper winner who took his hurdle record to 4-6 in 2½m Aintree handicap on reappearance in October. Left the impression that the handicapper still hasn't got his measure when a fast-finishing third at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago and he's earnt another crack at this level. Has to bridge a sizeable class-gap here but could be progressive enough to do so.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +8%) Paisley Park		6 6/1(+8%)																															(7) Paisley Park 6/1, Gained a third win this last year (held at Kempton) and ran a cracker after 9 months off when going down by a head to Dashel Drasher in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury earlier this month. He may be rising 12 but there's every chance he can add a fourth Long Walk Hurdle to his collection. Legendary stayer with form figures of 1131 in this race; made a highly pleasing return.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 -6%) Dashel Drasher		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(4) Dashel Drasher 17/2, Tough and likeable sort who ran stormers when second in the Relkeel, Cleeve and Stayers' Hurdles (all Cheltenham) last season. Stepped up significantly on his reappearance run when narrowly denying Paisley Park in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury earlier this month and this veteran needs considering. Typically tough in repelling Paisley Park in last month's Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -10%) Champ		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(2) Champ 11/2, Very talented hurdler/chaser who dug deep to fend off Paisley Park on reappearance last term. Third to same rival in this corresponding event (held at Kempton) next time and disappointed at Aintree 8 months ago. Won this in 2021 and respected given positive record fresh (has had another wind op). He was making his seasonal debut when winning this two years ago; had wind surgery.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +44%) Blueking D'Oroux		9 9/1(+44%)																															(9) Blueking D'Oroux 9/1, Returned with a cosy success in 2m novice at Cheltenham in October and posted a borderline smart effort when following up in a relatively weak field for the Coral Hurdle at this course (19.3f, good) 4 weeks ago. Tough ask having a first crack at 3m. 2m3f Grade 2 winner here last month; has stamina to prove over this far but he's improving.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 -13%) Botox Has		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) Botox Has 9/1, Landed valuable big-field 3m Haydock handicap hurdle last season and enhanced a good record fresh when adding a West Yorkshire Hurdle to his CV at Wetherby 7 weeks ago, edging ahead on the run-in and holding on gamely by a length from Red Risk. Cheekpieces back on. Gave weight and a beating to Red Risk and Dashel Drasher in a Grade 2 at Wetherby.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 +75%) Gowel Road		10 10/1(+75%)																															(6) Gowel Road 10/1, Very useful hurdler in 2021/22. Easily won a small-field course handicap chase in October 2022 and having been off 13 months, did more than enough to believe his ability is intact when fourth in big-field handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Big outsider in this company. Up in grade here but could argue that he's overpriced in relation to Crambo.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 +24%) Red Risk		25 25/1(+24%)																															(8) Red Risk 25/1, Won twice back hurdling in 2022 and left his effort in France back in summer well behind when runner-up to Botox Has in West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby 7 weeks ago. 1 of 2 for Paul Nicholls and likely to come up short at this level. Looks held by Botox Has on their Wetherby form and has others to worry about.
9th	5 9th (5) (33/1 +50%) Goshen		33 33/1(+50%)																															(5) Goshen 33/1, Quirky sort but he's very smart at his best and took the Coral Hurdle at this track last November. Below form in his bid to defend his crown in that corresponding event last month and again failed to figure in rearranged Fighting Fifth at Sandown last time. Remains easily opposable. 2nd in last season's Kempton renewal (only run at 3m) but was in better form back then.
10th	10 10th (10) (3/1 -9%) West Balboa		3 3/1(-9%)																															(10) West Balboa 3/1, Low-mileage mare who has yet to finish out of the first two. Signed off last season by landing a valuable big-field handicap upped to 24.7f at the Grand National meeting and picked up where she'd left off when landing 3-runner minor event there (20f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. Very interesting runner. Something to find on the figures but she's an unexposed improver after just six races.

LTO Selection:

---

A fascinating battle between Champ, who goes well fresh, three-time winner Paisley Park and the up-and-coming youngsters looking to take over at the top. West Balboa fits the latter category at the age of seven and has won four of her six starts over hurdles making her a serious contender, but a chance is taken on BLUEKING D'OROUX. Unbeaten this season over shorter, Paul Nicholls steps him up to 3m for the first time, and he could yet surprise them all if staying the distance.

The staying hurdle ranks are pretty threadbare at the moment but if there's an up-and-comer it could be in the shape of CRAMBO, who caught the eye with his fast-finishing third in a big-field handicap at Haydock 4 weeks ago and, with the services of experienced pilot Johnny Burke enlisted, Fergal O'Brien's 6-y-o can make it third time lucky dining at the top table. Veterans Paisley Park (bidding for a fourth success in this), Dashel Drasher and the returning Champ head up the opposition.

An intriguing clash of the generations. PAISLEY PARK bids for a fourth win in this race and his warm-up run was highly encouraging.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +50%) One Night Stand		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(3) One Night Stand 5/2, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 30 days ago. Well treated if able to build on that. Listed winner over C&D in Feb 2022; signs of a revival the last twice; drops in class.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -60%) Darlo Pride		4 4/1(-60%)																															(7) Darlo Pride 4/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win here in December. Good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 6/4) 13 days ago, having to wait for gap under 2f out. Thriving at present and another bold bid looks assured. First or second on his last seven starts (C&D winner); up in class but improving.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 -22%) Masterclass		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(2) Masterclass 11/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (7/1) at same course (6f) 42 days ago, not getting much room to open up. Should prove competitive. Three 6f wins to his name but dropping to this fast 5f asks a new question of him.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +0%) Pablo Del Pueblo		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Pablo Del Pueblo 14/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 48 days ago. Becoming well treated but recent efforts have largely been underwhelming and others are preferred. Quirky C&D winner who lurks on a dangerous mark; widest stall to overcome.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +56%) Bankrupt		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(5) Bankrupt 7/2, Course winner. 5 wins from 13 runs this year. 15/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 3 days ago, nearest finish. Sound frame claims again. Having a fine spell and well drawn for a prominent racer; should give it another good go.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -100%) Kessaar Power		10 10/1(-100%)																															(4) Kessaar Power 10/1, Creditable second of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 37 days ago. Never been the easiest to catch right but can't be ruled out on the back of that positive effort. Back to form when front-running 2nd at Chelmsford last month (6f); still feasibly treated.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 -75%) Lynns Boy		7 7/1(-75%)																															(6) Lynns Boy 7/1, Creditable 2½ lengths third of 10 to Masterclass in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 51 days ago. Entitled to respect. On winning mark; promising reappearance last month; one to consider.
8th	9 8th (9) (125/1 -279%) Hey Ho Let's Go		125 125/1(-279%)																															(9) Hey Ho Let's Go 125/1, Won 4 times in the first half of 2022 but seemingly retains little ability. Struggled this year and vulnerable from out of the weights in this field.

LTO Selection:

---

Narrowly denied over further at Chelmsford last time out, KESSAAR POWER must hold every chance dropping in trip, and he can end a losing streak dating back to April for previous connections. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, Darlo Pride must be thereabouts along with Masterclass, who has been running with plenty of credit of late, and One Night Stand.

DARLO PRIDE has developed into a most likeable sort this winter, and having been unlucky not to get closer to landing the hat-trick last time, he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Masterclass is better judged on his Chelmsford victory rather than when meeting trouble there last time and he can pose the biggest threat, with One Night Stand attractively handicapped after a more encouraging effort last time.

There has been more promise from ONE NIGHT STAND of late and he may be ready to end his losing streak.

1	4 1st (4) (7/4 +61%) Netywell		1.75 7/4(+61%)																															(4) Netywell 7/4, Made all over 2m at Ayr in January and hard to knock his consistency subsequently, finishing behind progressive novices at Carlisle and Aintree on first 2 starts this season. Failed to meet expectations and looked a bit ungainly at Wetherby recently, so he's best watched for now. Ground fine; steady gallop was probably no help when beaten about 6l at Wetherby last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -180%) Bythesametoken		7 7/1(-180%)																															(2) Bythesametoken 7/1, Ran at least as well in defeat as when winning at Killarney when finishing runner-up in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago, running on. Looks the main danger to Real Stone on paper. Irish runner; ground/trip fine and he's pretty much at the top of his game.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/8 -52%) Real Stone		1.375 11/8(-52%)																															(1) Real Stone 11/8, Posted career best when taking apart a small field in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) 4 weeks ago, jumping superbly. Raised 8 lb but may be capable of better yet. Won a weak race here last time by 20l; has 8lb higher mark but his jockey claims 5lb.
3	3 |PU| (3) (5/1 +38%) Rose Sea Has		5 5/1(+38%)																															(3) Rose Sea Has 5/1, Gained reward for his consistency last season when scoring at Fontwell (17.8f) 12 months ago. Yet to hit top form in 3 runs this term though so others appeal more. Blinkers applied. Last two runs leave him with questions to answer but blinkers could spark something.

LTO Selection:

---

Backers of REAL STONE never had a moment of worry as the eight-year-old romped home over C&D last month and he is difficult to oppose, despite a subsequent 8lb hike in the ratings. Bythesametoken finished second to a rival at Down Royal that went on to hit the frame in a Listed contest next time so he appeals as the most likely threat. Netywell can chase the pair home ahead of Rose Sea Has.

This looks to revolve around the lightly-raced REAL STONE, who gained a bloodless success over C&D 4 weeks ago and Dan Skelton's charge is likely capable of better still. Irish-raider Bythesametoken and Netywell can chase him home in that order.

The race that REAL STONE won here last time rather fell to bits but he looked on really good terms with himself.

1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +25%) Six One Nine		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(4) Six One Nine 5/2, Consistent type who was runner-up twice over C&D last season his latest success was gained here, off a 1 lb higher mark in February 2022. Again hit the crossbar on his reappearance at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) and he should have a part to play. Second on his first run since the spring but launched into a better race here.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +33%) Gandhi Maker		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(2) Gandhi Maker 10/3, Dual scorer over fences earlier this year, including over C&D, and back to his best when runner-up at Carlisle (2m, soft) in October. Let down by jumping on latest outing at Kelso but will be a danger to all if more sure-footed this time. Jumped poorly last time but his previous second at Carlisle is up there with best form.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 -75%) Tropical Talent		7 7/1(-75%)																															(5) Tropical Talent 7/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but no real impact in 4 starts over hurdles, pulled up when well backed on debut for new yard at Market Rasen last month. Stamina remains suspect and probably best watched switched to fences here from 5 lb out of the weights. Has a lot to prove on the wellbeing front and he's not bred for this new discipline.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 -9%) Jolly Nellerie		3 3/1(-9%)																															(3) Jolly Nellerie 3/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler in France but yet to fire in 3 starts so far for his current trainer. However, he's not one to write off as he goes chasing with his yard continuing in good form and armed with a handy 4-y-o allowance. Too free on his hurdling return; lightly raced and chasing could be the making of him.
6	6 |F| (6) (10/1 +29%) Zihuatanejo		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Zihuatanejo 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who has shown an aptitude for chasing, albeit without really threatening. Looks up against from 9 lb out of the handicap. Seven-race maiden under rules and work cut out from 9lb out of the weights.
1	1 |U| (1) (17/2 -209%) Unit Sixtyfour		8.5 17/2(-209%)																															(1) Unit Sixtyfour 17/2, Improved since tongue tied, winning handicap chases at Warwick/Fontwell last winter. Clearly wasn't 100% when beaten a long way at Kelso when last seen in March and will have a serious chance if back to his best. Capable chaser under these conditions and returns from break with his yard having winners.

LTO Selection:

---

Runner-up on three of his last four starts, including twice over C&D, SIX ONE NINE sets the standard and can deservedly regain the winning thread for the first time since February 2022. The Venetia Williams yard can do little wrong at present and Jolly Nellerie must enter calculations on his chase debut, likewise Gandhi Maker, who won here in January.

This looks pretty trappy and the percentage call is to side with UNIT SIXTYFOUR, who didn't do much wrong switched to fences last season prior to misfiring on his latest start during the spring. Given his otherwise solid record in this sphere, that can probably be put down to a 'bad day in the office'. Jolly Nellerie is of interest now tackling fences and he is feared most ahead of C&D winners Gandhi Maker and Six One Nine.

A winning chase debut is not out of the question for JOLLY NELLERIE who didn't run at all badly over hurdles on his reappearance.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +43%) Victtorino		4 4/1(+43%)																															(1) Victtorino 4/1, Useful chaser in France, scoring twice at up to 21.9f last year, who resumed winning ways for his new yard in 11-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 49 days ago. Can make his presence felt again. Comfortably won a valuable C&D handicap (soft) seven weeks ago on second run for this yard.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +38%) Yeah Man		5 5/1(+38%)																															(10) Yeah Man 5/1, Irish raider who scored over hurdles at Thurles in February. In excellent form over fences this term too, looking sure to go close when fell last over C&D last month. Player nudged up 2 lb. Rallying strongly and only 2l down on Victtorino when falling at the last over C&D (soft).
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 +44%) Flegmatik		14 14/1(+44%)																															(3) Flegmatik 14/1, Winless since early 2022 but he arrives in good nick, second of 8 in handicap chase here (21f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs considering once more. Has run creditably both starts this term and has an each-way chance.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +30%) Blackjack Magic		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Blackjack Magic 7/2, Took very well to chasing for current yard last term and he continued his progress on his return in 11-runner handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 42 days ago. That form has been franked so he has to be taken seriously. 3-5 for yard; took the Badger Beer at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) with the 3rd way back.

Shortlisted. Creditable 3rd under Freddie Gingell over C&D four weeks ago; withdrawn if ground is soft.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/2 +44%) Git Maker		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Git Maker 9/2, Point winner who resumed from 10 months off to make it 3-5 in this sphere in 5-runner Lingfield handicap (23.5f) last month. 5 lb higher mark to overcome but still not taken lightly. 6-9; up another 5lb and this is much more of a test but he may well pass it.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +13%) Make Me A Believer		14 14/1(+13%)																															(9) Make Me A Believer 14/1, Useful hurdles winner who capitalised on a reduced mark after a wind op in 12-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, soft) 43 days ago. Up 7 lb but he's open to further progress. In the mix. Exeter win (3m, good to soft) on return, travelling much the best and hanging on; up 6lb.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 +20%) Larry		16 16/1(+20%)																															(7) Larry 16/1, C&D winner who shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Can give a good account with that run under his belt. Last two wins were C&D (autumn 2021 and 2022); has a good mark and enters calculations.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 +0%) Hascoeur Clermont		10 10/1(+0%)																															(11) Hascoeur Clermont 10/1, Arrives firmly on the up over fences, following up his success at Galway with stylish victory in 16-runner handicap at Cheltenham (25f, soft) 35 days ago. Up another 9 lb but well in the mix. Won at Galway (2m6f, heavy) and Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) last two outings; up another 9lb.
10th	6 10th (6) (18/1 -13%) Flash Collonges		18 18/1(-13%)																															(6) Flash Collonges 18/1, Got off the mark in this sphere at Newbury (23f) in March and still in touch when falling 19th in Scottish Grand National at Ayr following month. Can't be dismissed on his return. Gained first chase win at 7th of 8 attempts; something to prove on worse than good to soft.

Victtorino returned from a break to score on his first attempt over fences in the UK when taking a valuable prize over C&D last month, and he commands plenty of respect off a 4lb higher mark. Blackjack Magic is firmly on the upgrade and arrives following a career-best effort in the Badger Beer at Wincanton, while Git Maker's Lingfield success gives him every chance of being in the mix. However, Gavin Cromwell saddles two live chances with Yeah Man, a faller here last month, and HASCOEUR CLERMONT, who gets the vote based on his Cheltenham victory. The form received a boost with the runner-up landing the Becher Chase and the use of Conor Stone-Walsh's 5lb claim further enhances his credentials.

Plenty with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance Wincanton success of BLACKJACK MAGIC so Anthony Honeyball's upwardly-mobile chaser is taken to emerge on top of the pack. Gavin Cromwell's Yeah Man is feared most having looked sure to go close when coming down at the final fence over C&D last time. Victtorino, who emerged on top that day, must also enter calculations. Git Maker, Make Me A Believer and Hascoeur Clermont also need factoring into this cracking handicap.

The rematch between November's C&D principals Victtorino and Yeah Man is a key element, while GIT MAKER (nap) is upped in class.

1	9 1st (9) (3/1 +45%) The Conqueror		3 3/1(+45%)																															(9) The Conqueror 3/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 2/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 3 days ago. Can make presence felt. On long losing run and he needs to find more on this step back up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +31%) Fravanco		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(2) Fravanco 9/2, Winner here in July. Strong in the betting but could only finish seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 5/2) 46 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Record of 1-11 and has finished down the field on Polytrack last twice; needs to step up.
3	10 3rd (10) (33/1 +18%) Qeyaady		33 33/1(+18%)																															(10) Qeyaady 33/1, Very little show on the Flat or over hurdles this season. Hard to fancy. 0-20 since his French maiden win in 2021 and has struggled under both codes this year.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 -43%) Mr Trick		2.5 5/2(-43%)																															(5) Mr Trick 5/2, In good form of late, not needing to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago. Shortlist material. Finished well when scoring at Chelmsford and he's a big player again at this new trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +23%) Where's Tom		5 5/1(+23%)																															(3) Where's Tom 5/1, Sole Flat win came over C&D in 2020. 11/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago, finding test too much. Largely in decent heart on the level this season and isn't discounted with visor back on. Well handicapped on some AW form in the spring and he's not ruled back in this sphere.
6th	12 6th (12) (33/1 -175%) A Touch Of Silver		33 33/1(-175%)																															(12) A Touch Of Silver 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 14 on handicap debut at Kempton (12f) 33 days ago. Something to find on form. Well held at big prices in all four runs including a Kempton handicap (1m4f) last month.
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -400%) Hot Team		80 80/1(-400%)																															(8) Hot Team 80/1, Again below form when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 days ago. Has work to do. Six-time turf winner but he's 1-22 on AW and has been out of sorts in last four runs.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 -144%) How Hard Can It Be		22 22/1(-144%)																															(4) How Hard Can It Be 22/1, Fifteen runs since sole win in 2022. 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good). Others preferred after 147 days off. 1-21 but she's well treated on her best form this year; needs watching in market on return.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -67%) Hazel Bear		20 20/1(-67%)																															(7) Hazel Bear 20/1, Good third over 10f here in November but ran poorly upped in trip when last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 33 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Inconsistent nine-race maiden who was tailed off over 1m4f last time; others preferred.
10th	6 10th (6) (66/1 -164%) Bloom Of Greece		66 66/1(-164%)																															(6) Bloom Of Greece 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 250/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Unexposed 3yo who looks a possible improver upped in trip on handicap debut; market useful.
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 -13%) Kingston Joy		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) Kingston Joy 9/1, C&D winner in February. 33/1, last of 7 on turf debut in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy). Off 7 months. Others more persuasive. Has a patchy record but she's a C&D winner who still has potential; in the mix on return.
12th	11 12th (11) (200/1 -700%) Lucky Mascot		200 200/1(-700%)																															(11) Lucky Mascot 200/1, Last of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Brighton (6f, heavy) 65 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to recommend. 13-race maiden who has struggled in last five runs and has a lot to prove at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

MR TRICK deservedly regained the winning thread at Chelmsford recently after some strong efforts in defeat, and he can follow up with the rise in distance expected to suit. Similar comments may apply to The Conqueror, who may benefit from his rider's 7lb allowance, while Fravanco is another to consider. Placed on three of his last six starts here, Where's Tom cannot be ruled out either.

MR TRICK built on a pair of sound placed efforts to score at Chelmsford last week and should prove up to defying a 2 lb higher mark from an advantageous high draw. The Conqueror is holding his form reasonably well at present and is also shortlisted, with Where's Tom also considered back in the code where he possesses a more solid record.

Top of the list is MR TRICK, who finished well when scoring at Chelmsford and is a big player again on his step up to this trip.

3	3 (3) (15/2 -88%) J'Ai Froid		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(3) J'Ai Froid 15/2, Useful handicap hurdler at his best who capitalised on a reduced mark when going in at Leicester last month. Back up 2 lb but he must enter calculations. Bit of an upturn when neck winner in four-runner race at Leicester (1m7f, heavy); stays.
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +61%) Bushypark		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(6) Bushypark 11/2, C&D winner and fairly useful over hurdles and fences at his best but his good days have been more infrequent in recent seasons. Seems to have returned out of sorts. Comfortably more miss than hit nowadays but fair chance he will get his own way in front.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +10%) Our Sam		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(5) Our Sam 9/4, Progressing really well this term and he completed a hat-trick in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) 70 days ago. Not taken lightly despite having a career-high mark to overcome. Progressive 7yo, bids to win four in a row; acts on soft but ran poorly sole race on heavy.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +25%) Skandiburg		12 12/1(+25%)																															(4) Skandiburg 12/1, It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2020 and he came in only tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with more required. Well down the weights but he's not been threatening to break his losing sequence.
4	2 4th (2) (6/4 +40%) Ballymagroarty Boy		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(2) Ballymagroarty Boy 6/4, Course winner who resumed with a career-best success in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) 11 days ago. Up 4 lb but holds leading claims. Latest go (3m, heavy) was only his second win; consistent and should be seriously involved.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 -57%) Niceandeasy		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(7) Niceandeasy 11/2, Dual-winning chaser in the first half of 2022 but jumping errors consistently proved an issue. Back hurdling when landing 3m2f Kelso handicap last month so needs considering. Back up 3lb after Kelso 3m2f win but his form of previous seasons was significantly better.
6th	1 6th (1) (50/1 -213%) Storm Nelson		50 50/1(-213%)																															(1) Storm Nelson 50/1, Won 5 of his 8 starts during a very good spell with Sandy Thomson but pulled up at Aintree for his new trainer last month. Bit to prove. There's a major concern after last two outings, having been sold for £1,500 in between.

LTO Selection:

---

J'AI FROID was able to take advantage of a declining handicap mark when winning at Leicester last month, and he might be worth siding with once again from just 2lb higher. Storm Nelson was pulled up in a typically warm Pertemps Qualifier at Aintree on his seasonal return but must be respected now dropped in class, along with Our Sam, who arrives in search of a four-timer.

BALLYMAGROARTY BOY can boast a course win and looks the way to go on the back of his stylish recent Ffos Las success. Our Sam is enjoying a fine season and rates a big threat however, with Leicester-scorer J'Ai Froid also in the picture.

If heavy ground is a problem for Our Sam, the ones most likely to profit are NICEANDEASY and Ballymagroarty Boy.

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 -40%) Kabuki		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Kabuki 7/1, French-bred gelding who hails from a leading stable. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on debut. 12,000euros 2yo; first foal of a half-sister to stable's useful jumper Dear Sire.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +13%) Aire Spray		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Aire Spray 14/1, 22½ lengths fourth of 7 to She's Notjoeking on C&D debut (good to soft, 5/1) 30 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. Has 23l to find with She's Notjoeking and it's asking a lot to make up that deficit.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +0%) Knomorediamonds		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Knomorediamonds 12/1, Ran out around halfway on his Aintree debut but proved more straightforward at Huntingdon a couple of weeks later, finishing fifth of 11. More will be needed here, though. Was more focused at Huntingdon but was beaten 13l and he'll need to improve on that.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -145%) Opera King		4 4/1(-145%)																															(5) Opera King 4/1, Fared best of the newcomers when fourth of 11 in bumper at Doncaster (16.5f, good) 21 days ago, best work finish. Should be sharper with that experience behind him and leading claims. The form of his fourth at Doncaster just about sets the standard here.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 -45%) She's Notjoeking		4 4/1(-45%)																															(6) She's Notjoeking 4/1, Milan filly who made a winning start to her career over C&D (good to soft) last month. Likely to be competitive under the penalty. Defied market weakness with a comfortable success here; the second has talent.
6th	9 6th (9) (125/1 -25%) Breadalbane Lass		125 125/1(-25%)																															(9) Breadalbane Lass 125/1, Telescope filly. Dam unraced. Stable 0-37 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Newcomer; yard's bumper record of 0-37 in bumpers recent seasons reduces appeal.
7th	7 7th (7) (3/1 +81%) Sycamore Gap		3 3/1(+81%)																															(7) Sycamore Gap 3/1, 21,000 gns Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including fair 1¼m winner Just A Tad. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1½m. Makes some paper appeal for a race like this. Betting should guide. Joined Godolphin for 200,000gns but never made the track; sold on for 21,000gns.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -203%) Moveonbuy		100 100/1(-203%)																															(11) Moveonbuy 100/1, £4,000 3-y-o, Getaway filly. Half-sister to a point winner. The chances are she's best watched on debut. £4,000 3yo; eighth foal; half-sister to point winner Silent Warrior; dam unraced.
9th	14 9th (14) (50/1 -52%) Sweet Hortense		50 50/1(-52%)																															(14) Sweet Hortense 50/1, Hawkbill filly. Dam lightly raced on Flat. The market should guide. Seventh foal; dam unplaced 1m-8.6f (RPR 44), half-sister to eight Flat winners.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 -17%) Authorized Mission		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Authorized Mission 7/1, Authorized gelding. Dam (c112/h116), 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 25f) Russian Regent. Wears tongue strap on debut. One to note in the betting. Third foal; dam point/2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner; check the market.
11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -21%) Pennine Park		40 40/1(-21%)																															(12) Pennine Park 40/1, Mondialiste filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdle winner around 2m Casa No Mento and fair hurdler Red Reminder. One of 2 runners in the for Danny Brooke and the betting should help to separate them. Fourth foal; half-sister to winners Casa No Mento (bumper/point/2m hurdle).
12th	13 12th (13) (20/1 -43%) Rotarua		20 20/1(-43%)																															(13) Rotarua 20/1, €3,500 Sholokhov filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Move Above and hurdler Western Rambler. Worth a precautionary betting check. 3,500euros 3yo; seventh foal; half-sister to winning hurdler Western Rambler (2m).
13th	8 13th (8) (40/1 +39%) Triumphal Arch		40 40/1(+39%)																															(8) Triumphal Arch 40/1, Kodiac gelding. Dam unraced. Likely outsider on debut. Flat-bred and initially fetched 82,000gns as a yearling; has since changed hands cheaply.
14th	10 14th (10) (20/1 +39%) Gowan Pudsey		20 20/1(+39%)																															(10) Gowan Pudsey 20/1, Telescope filly. Dam, fairly useful 2m hurdle winner (stayed 21f), closely related to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Skiddaw Tara. Stable has had a bumper winner in the last 5 seasons. Third foal; dam 2m hurdle winner, sister to bumper/2m1f hurdle winner Bobs Lord Tara.

LTO Selection:

---

OPERA KING showed up well for a long way on his debut at Doncaster before finishing a tad one-paced, but, with improvement expected, he can get off the mark for his in-form connections. Talented filly She's Notjoeking has a 7lb penalty to overcome for scoring over C&D on debut, while Authorized Mission and Kabuki look to be the pick of the newcomers.

OPERA KING showed plenty by the finish on his Doncaster debut and can build on that promise and see off last month's C&D scorer She's Notjoeking. Kabuki, Authorized Mission and Sycamore Gap are newcomers to note in the betting.

Kabuki appeals most of the newcomers but the standout contenders are SHE'S NOTJOEKING and Opera King.

1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +63%) Luccia		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(4) Luccia 9/2, 2-2 in bumpers and rapidly developed into a useful hurdler. Good second in 2m Wetherby mares' listed race on reappearance and another solid effort when 7 lengths third to reopposing stablemate Iberico Lord in Greatwood at Cheltenham on her first venture into handicap company. The bubble has burst but her 7l third of 15 to Iberico Lord at Cheltenham was creditable.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -57%) Impose Toi		11 11/1(-57%)																															(8) Impose Toi 11/1, Dual French bumper scorer who made it 3-5 over hurdles for this yard when readily seeing off 16 rivals in a 2m Cheltenham handicap last month. Has more to offer and should go well but Nico de Boinville seemingly prefers the claims of the same connections' Iberico Lord. Well backed, won 17-runner Cheltenham race (2m, good to soft) on handicap debut; up 10lb.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +40%) Altobelli		3.5 7/2(+40%)																															(7) Altobelli 7/2, Promising sort who won a bumper and maiden/novice hurdles on first 3 starts. His jumping failed the test in Aintree Grade 1 novice on final start but he made an encouraging return to action when second of 12 in C&D handicap 7 weeks ago. Good shout for yard which has tasted success in this before. Raised just 1lb after C&D second on return; can surely strike at some point off this mark.
4	10 4th (10) (22/1 +33%) Moveit Like Minnie		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Moveit Like Minnie 22/1, Posted significant improvement back at 2m this autumn, winning handicaps at Ludlow and Huntingdon. Further progress can't be discounted but he'll need another big career best to complete the hat-trick in this higher grade. Won at Ludlow (good to soft) and Huntingdon (good) on last two outings; this demands more.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 -50%) Hansard		12 12/1(-50%)																															(1) Hansard 12/1, Useful novice hurdler last season and took it up another notch when winning Gerry Feilden at Newbury (2m, good to soft) at the beginning of this month. A 4 lb rise for that doesn't look enough to prevent a prominent showing here. Up 4lb since Newbury win and this is a much stronger field but he's a serious prospect.
6th	11 6th (11) (4/1 +43%) Onlyamatteroftime		4 4/1(+43%)																															(11) Onlyamatteroftime 4/1, Bumper winner for Niall Madden and good third in maiden hurdle next time but he's blotted his copybook by running out in both handicap starts, latterly in the Greatwood at Cheltenham on his first outing for Willie Mullins. Likely has the ability to do some damage from his mark but can't be trusted. Ran out when favourite for both his handicaps, latter 4 out in the Greatwood at Cheltenham.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/4 +21%) Iberico Lord		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(6) Iberico Lord 11/4, Well beaten first 2 outings over hurdles but has made giant strides since wind surgery, beating Lookaway by 2½ lengths to win the Greatwood at Cheltenham on his reappearance. The form has been boosted and an 8 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him having a big say with further progress likely. Strong finish to win the 15-runner Greatwood at Cheltenham (2m, soft) on return; up 8lb.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -18%) Faivoir		33 33/1(-18%)																															(3) Faivoir 33/1, Talented hurdler/chaser who capitalised on much-reduced mark when landing the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Not in the same form on first 2 runs back but step back in right direction when second of 7 over C&D last month. Stable always feared in top 2m handicap hurdles. Won the County Hurdle at Cheltenham in March; near that form when C&D 2nd on latest start.
9th	5 9th (5) (28/1 +15%) Teddy Blue		28 28/1(+15%)																															(5) Teddy Blue 28/1, Free-goer who landed a 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle in April and recorded a career best when 1¼ lengths second of 17 in the Swinton a month later. Disappointed both starts after 6 months off, however. Unseated early on reappearance, eight days before tailed off here seven weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

---

The Greatwood Hurdle winner, IBERICO LORD, has been highly progressive since he joined the Nicky Henderson yard and is difficult to oppose, despite going up 8lb for last month's Cheltenham success. Luccia (third), Nemean Lion (fifth) and Onlyamatteroftime (ran out) all renew rivalries from that race and can make this a good test on the revised terms. However, the selection's stablemate Impose Toi has answered every question asked of him lately and may well emerge as the biggest threat to his travel companion. Altobelli and Hansard deepen the level of competition.

Several progressive sorts in a good-quality renewal. ALTOBELLI impressed with the way he travelled into contention when second on his C&D reappearance and is taken to build on that promise and fend off progressive J P McManus/Nicky Henderson pair Iberico Lord and Impose Toi.

This is a terrifically strong field but the Greatwood winner IBERICO LORD gets the vote ahead of Hansard.

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.
