Got tired on debut at Punchestown; ended up a remote third, 13l behind runner-up Ritz Plan.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 -211%) Lynches Knock		28 28/1(-211%)																															(4) Lynches Knock 28/1, Kessaar gelding whose dam was useful over 7f at two; trainer in form and one of the leading handlers. Dam a 7f 2yo seller winner for David Elsworth, Jack Kennedy sticks with I'm All In.

6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -79%) Chief Josef		50 50/1(-79%)																															(2) Chief Josef 50/1, Valirann gelding fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. Unraced dam is closely related to two hurdle winners who stayed well, tongue-tie fitted.

RITZ PLAN was unlucky to come up against a smart sort when runner-up to Highland Crystal in a similar event at Punchestown last month, with Kilbarry Lizzy 13 lengths behind in third and Copper Rocker further adrift. The winner has since taken a Listed race at Newbury in good style. I'm All In was prominent throughout and still in second spot when unseating his rider at the last in another Academy Hurdle at Cork, while Baby Pearl and Coole Cafe both represent powerful yards and should be noted for any market moves.

Although I'M ALL IN was fighting a losing battle when unseating at the last at Cork, time may prove that he was taking on a smart sort

1	3 1st (3) (22/1 -300%) The Jad Factor		22 22/1(-300%)																															(3) The Jad Factor 22/1, Well backed and returned to form when winning a handicap by 6l off 88 over 2m4f at Kelso last time. Best around 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good ground, can go well up 3lb. Won by 6l at Kelso so would have a chance if in similar form here; off since April.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +7%) Athair Mor		1.75 7/4(+7%)																															(4) Athair Mor 7/4, Improved on a modest chase debut when second, beaten 5l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Newcastle latest. Effective at 2m4f, handles good to soft, and can progress further over fences. Only had the six races and kept on well for second last time at Newcastle.

Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, below last winning mark and stepping back up in trip. No danger to the front two at Lingfield but has a solid record over fences.
4	9 4th (9) (18/1 +36%) Mademewhatiam		18 18/1(+36%)																															(9) Mademewhatiam 18/1, Never involved when pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Market Rasen latest. Effective at 2m4f, acts on good ground; hard to fancy on chase debut. 12-race maiden over hurdles and his sole placing was remote; chase debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 +17%) Catchim		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(1) Catchim 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 100 over 2m at Southwell last time. Effective up to 2m4f and handles soft and good ground; steps back up in trip. Runner-up over 2m at Southwell last time and won't mind returning to further.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -7%) Ballywood		8 8/1(-7%)																															(6) Ballywood 8/1, Showed a bit more but didn't get home when 4 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground, and drops further in the weights. Pleasing third last time at Ffos Las but this 11yo hasn't won since 2019.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -14%) Irisante		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Irisante 16/1, May not have stayed on deep ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time. Blinkers first time; effective at 2m, handles heavy and good to soft; could improve chasing. Placed over hurdles; not bred for fences but she's a 4yo filly getting all the allowances.
8	8 |PU| (8) (17/2 +23%) Great Ballinboris		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(8) Great Ballinboris 17/2, Below form without obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m4f, acts on good ground, and needs to bounce back. Some encouragement last season and may have needed his reappearance.
10	10 |PU| (10) (66/1 -32%) Stonegate		66 66/1(-32%)																															(10) Stonegate 66/1, Hampered and again ran to a poor level tried in cheekpieces when fourth, beaten 41l in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Catterick latest. Yet to find suitable conditions and impossible to fancy. Still a maiden and shown no worthwhile form in five chase starts; 10lb out of the weights.

CATCHIM disappointed favourite backers at Southwell last time out but it was another solid effort in defeat and going back up in trip should suit here. Mutual Respect boasts a similar profile to the selection and cannot be overlooked on the back of his latest third at Lingfield, while The Jad Factor won easily on his final start of last season at Kelso.

Chasing debutante IRISANTE could be dangerous as a 4yo filly in receipt of all the allowances. Catchim is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +25%) Taurus Bay		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(3) Taurus Bay 15/8, Did it easily with a very promising debut when winning a novice hurdle at Stratford over 2m by 8 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground. The form of his point win has been franked and though his hurdle win was nothing special, there is more to come. Point winner who made it 2-2 with easy novice hurdle win at Stratford; has to be respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/6 +8%) Captain Hugo		0.666667 4/6(+8%)																															(1) Captain Hugo 4/6, Travelled well and showed gameness with a very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Newbury over 2m by 1 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and handles good to soft and good ground. Debut form has been franked and he could follow up. Form of hurdle debut win at Newbury reads well and he has leading claims today.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -100%) Race To Base		8 8/1(-100%)																															(2) Race To Base 8/1, Quickened clear with ease to win a novice hurdle at Hereford over 2m by 8 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Form of his hurdle debut has been franked and he looks progressive. Won on second hurdle start; much tougher task today but can give another good account.

Captain Hugo beat a subsequent winner to make a successful start over timber at Newbury last month and has plenty of untapped potential, but TAURUS BAY gets the vote. Ben Pauling's point-to-point victor drew readily clear to score by over eight lengths at Stratford in October and is likely to have lots more to offer. Provided the son of Poet's Word takes a step forward, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Race To Base looks booked for third.

Three very likeable prospects. CAPTAIN HUGO won a warm maiden hurdle at Newbury last month and is preferred ahead of Taurus Bay.

1	6 1st (6) (1/6 +71%) The Price Of Peace		0.166667 1/6(+71%)																															(6) The Price Of Peace 1/6, Promising debut when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m4f on soft ground. Debut form has been franked and he should be winning soon. Irish point winner and a lot to like about his 2nd in Ffos Las maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft).
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -33%) Times Are Green		16 16/1(-33%)																															(7) Times Are Green 16/1, Moderate hurdles debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter latest; effective at 2m, acts on GS; surely capable of better. Promise in bumpers last term but hurdling debut (11-2) this season brought a heavy defeat.
3	3 3rd (3) (40/1 +60%) Arctic Conditions		40 40/1(+60%)																															(3) Arctic Conditions 40/1, Made a moderate hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Aintree last time. Yet to find suitable conditions and hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in a bumper at Exeter (favourite) and maiden hurdle at Aintree (50-1).
4	5 4th (5) (66/1 +34%) The Moonlight Man		66 66/1(+34%)																															(5) The Moonlight Man 66/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f here last time. Effective at 3m in points but has plenty to prove stepping up in trip. Irish point winner who failed to show much at 200-1 in a warm 2m4f maiden hurdle here.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -144%) Watchful Protector		11 11/1(-144%)																															(2) Watchful Protector 11/1, Too keen, may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by cut; not ruled out on stable debut. Left E Mullins for 20,000euros in November; very mixed messages for him included 2m3f win.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 -43%) Ignore The Door		5 5/1(-43%)																															(1) Ignore The Door 5/1, Promising debut when winning a novice hurdle at Worcester over 2m7f by 3/4l last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m7f on good ground. Likely to have more to come for a good yard. Irish point win; also took a novice at Worcester (2m7f, good; tongue tied) in October.
8	8 |PU| (8) (25/1 +0%) Aaron		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Aaron 25/1, Showed small improvement when beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on heavy or soft ground but needs more to win. Others have accomplished more as hurdler and he's probably best watched until handicapping.
4	4 |PU| (4) (33/1 +34%) Order In The House		33 33/1(+34%)																															(4) Order In The House 33/1, Order Of St George gelding; half-brother to Deploy The Getaway, smart at 16f. Has undergone a wind operation ahead of this debut and looks up against it. Half-brother to jumps winners Deploy The Getaway (fairly useful) and Stellar Stream.

THE PRICE OF PEACE won between the flags in Ireland earlier in the year and performed well for second on his Rules debut in a Ffos Las maiden hurdle in October. That form reads well and he should improve for the run, so is expected to prove tough to beat. Of the others, keep an eye on Watchful Protector and Ignore The Door.

This looks a fine opportunity for THE PRICE OF PEACE who saw the race out so well in a strong 2m4f maiden on soft ground at Ffos Las.

Half-brother to the high-class Saint Roi, good effort at Auteuil last year, obvious chance.

E190,000 purchase after taking second in a point-to-point for Rob James, merits respect.

Bumper form not good enough to inspire confidence, Jack Kennedy on Lazare De Star.
4	19 4th (19) (12/1 -50%) Sense Of Occasion		12 12/1(-50%)																															(19) Sense Of Occasion 12/1, Improved when second beaten 1 1/2l in a 3m maiden at Belclare last time; returning from a long layoff and hard to recommend. Second in a Belclare maiden on his only point start, has the makings of a useful novice.
5th	3 5th (3) (40/1 +20%) Blow Wind Blow		40 40/1(+20%)																															(3) Blow Wind Blow 40/1, Green and showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park; effective at 2m and handles soft ground; should improve for experience. Fared better than his owner's shorter-priced runner on debut but may need more experience.

First reserve, fair 74-rated Flat maiden, recent stable debut on AW was encouraging.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 +17%) City Of Cork		10 10/1(+17%)																															(4) City Of Cork 10/1, Westerner gelding wearing a tongue-tie for the first time; represents a top stable; dam a bumper and hurdles winner for this yard; of interest. Dam bumper/hurdle winner and a sister to trainer's high-class performer Home By The Lee.
8th	21 8th (21) (14/1 -17%) Latopix		14 14/1(-17%)																															(21) Latopix 14/1, Very promising debut when 15l third in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective at 2m and handles soft ground; French bumper winner improving for new yard. Won over 1m4f in France, modest bumper form in Britain, Irish/hurdling debut was promising.

Ran twice in juvenile hurdles last December, some merit in his second run, best watched.
22	22 |F| (22) (66/1 +56%) Malikanna		66 66/1(+56%)																															(22) Malikanna 66/1, A bit free but ran to form when down the field in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on yielding or good ground; may improve over further in time. Best effort when 18l third in a bumper, held by Le Moulin Rouge on Wexford running.
10th	6 10th (6) (200/1 -33%) Danny The Champ		200 200/1(-33%)																															(6) Danny The Champ 200/1, Outpaced but showed minor promise on debut when down the field in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here; can improve when dropped in grade though this may be sharp enough. Ran respectably on the first of two bumper runs, midfield at Navan on hurdling debut.
11th	25 11th (25) (250/1 -25%) Soldiers Lady		250 250/1(-25%)																															(25) Soldiers Lady 250/1, Below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; bred to stay up to 2m4f and likely to need more time. Not many positives to take from three starts since the beginning of October.

13th	26 13th (26) (125/1 +38%) Thirsty Work		125 125/1(+38%)																															(26) Thirsty Work 125/1, Continued in poor form when down the field in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here last time; has plenty to prove. Saddle slipped at Galway on hurdling debut, no excuses at Navan, her chance is not obvious.
14th	7 14th (7) (150/1 +0%) Daymer Bay		150 150/1(+0%)																															(7) Daymer Bay 150/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective at 2m; fair on the flat at a modest level but stamina to prove over hurdles. Low-rated Flat maiden, shaped quite well when a remote fifth on his second hurdles start.

Not a bad run in a Punchestown bumper, down the field on hurdling debut at Gowran.
17th	10 17th (10) (50/1 -150%) Grey Gardens		50 50/1(-150%)																															(10) Grey Gardens 50/1, Improved from debut when 17l third in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; effective around 2¼m and handles soft ground; showing gradual progress.

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company in Britain, modest 2025 Flat form.
21st	23 21st (23) (80/1 -60%) Mary Mammon		80 80/1(-60%)																															(23) Mary Mammon 80/1, Went clear and improved under an aggressive ride when second beaten 9l in a 2m1f mares bumper at Cork last time; returning from a break and needs to progress again. Stepped up considerably on two previous efforts when second in a Cork bumper, new yard now.
22nd	1 22nd (1) (200/1 +0%) Anightaway		200 200/1(+0%)																															(1) Anightaway 200/1, Poor handicap debut when finishing down the field in an 11f handicap at Dundalk last time; difficult to fancy on hurdle debut.

SAINT BACO showed promise in France last year and the form of his third in a hurdle at Auteuil has worked out well since. The Cokoriko gelding is a half-brother to Saint Roi, who proved a smart sort both over hurdles and fences for Willie Mullins. Lazare De Star finished well when runner-up on his only point-to-point start and was subsequently purchased for 190,000 euros, while Sense Of Occasion also ran with credit between the flags. Le Moulin Rouge ran quite freely but finished well when third to stablemate Sageborough at Wexford and is now fitted with a hood, while War Rooms held a career high rating of 104 on the Flat and is an interesting recruit to hurdles.

There is every chance that SAINT BACO, not beaten far at Auteuil 15 months ago will be good enough to make a winning Irish debut.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +61%) Hurricane Pat		3.5 7/2(+61%)																															(3) Hurricane Pat 7/2, Did it readily with a very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle here by 3l last time. Effective over 2m on good to soft or good ground, and a dual bumper winner. The form of that debut success has had some knocks but he looks open to progress. Progressive type whose reappearance win took his Sandown record to 2-3.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -82%) Soldier Reeves		10 10/1(-82%)																															(2) Soldier Reeves 10/1, From a yard that won this race last year, he landed a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham by 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m on soft ground, his debut form looks strong. A stiff finish suits and there should be more to come for this top yard. Won maiden hurdle at the Cheltenham November meeting and looks a promising sort.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -100%) Fresh Perspective		12 12/1(-100%)																															(1) Fresh Perspective 12/1, Quickened clear cosily when winning the Introductory Hurdle at Wetherby by 6l last time. The trainer is in form, and he is effective over 2m on soft or good ground. Although the form has taken some knocks, he is progressing well. Overall record is 4-5; incurs 3lb penalty but remains open to further progress.
4	5 4th (5) (4/7 +21%) Sober Glory		0.571429 4/7(+21%)																															(5) Sober Glory 4/7, Quickened clear with ease on a very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Chepstow by 12l last time. Effective over 2m on good to soft ground. Classy in bumpers and his debut form looks strong, suggesting there is more to come over hurdles. Scored easily at Chepstow on hurdles debut; top on the figures and remains unbeaten.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -64%) Shabalko D'herm		9 9/1(-64%)																															(4) Shabalko D'herm 9/1, Improved to defy a penalty, his fitness told late when winning a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m1f by a neck last time. Effective over 2m and a 3m point winner. There should be more to come over hurdles, possibly when tackling further. Gamely defied a penalty at Bangor; improving sort who has a likeable attitude.

This looks a warm renewal and a case could be made for all five competitors, so only a tentative vote goes to SOBER GLORY. Unbeaten in four starts under Rules, the son of Mount Nelson won with ease on his hurdling debut at Chepstow and continues to go from strength to strength. Shabalko D'herm is yet to taste defeat over timber and carried a penalty to success at Bangor last time, so he has to be respected. Exciting prospect Fresh Perspective is far from out of it either.

All of the runners are open to further progress but it will take a very good performance to lower the colours of SOBER GLORY.

1	5 1st (5) (18/1 -13%) Hudson De Grugy		18 18/1(-13%)																															(5) Hudson De Grugy 18/1, Never jumped or travelled and did not handle the track when down the field in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Haydock last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m3f, suited by cut but unreliable. Has never been easy to predict and it's been a quiet start for this yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 -30%) Carrig Kate		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(6) Carrig Kate 13/2, Well backed but below form when 26l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee on her latest run; cheekpieces applied for the first time; returning from a long layoff; effective up to 3m and acts on good to soft and good; has a bit to find.

4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -11%) If Not For Dylan		5 5/1(-11%)																															(4) If Not For Dylan 5/1, Unseated in the Grand Sefton over 2m5f at Aintree last time; likes to make the running; suited by marathon trips and acts on soft and good; only just above his last winning mark and could go well. Capable off this mark and latest blip came over the spruce fences at Aintree.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +0%) Some Scope		5 5/1(+0%)																															(1) Some Scope 5/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good; now below his last winning mark. Well-handicapped C&D winner and the return of cheekpieces looks a positive.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 -95%) Geryville		6.5 13/2(-95%)																															(3) Geryville 13/2, Showed a good attitude and produced his best form since January when beaten 1 1/4l off 116 over 2m3f here last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m, suited by some cut and enjoys Wetherby; inconsistent but strong chance if repeating that effort. Ran well from the front over 2m3f here last time, going close and clear of the rest.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 +44%) El Saviour		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(7) El Saviour 9/2, Ran a long way below recent winning form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Ludlow last time; absent for a very lengthy period; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; effective at 2m5f and acts on soft; something to prove on chase debut. Off since April 2024 but respected on his hurdling best; second in only point start.

A trappy handicap for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for KILBARRY HILL. He wasn't at his best on his chase/seasonal bow at Carlisle last month, but represents an in-form yard and is entitled to improve for that first start over fences. If Not For Dylan unseated his rider in the Grand Sefton at Aintree last month and could easily bounce back, while Carrig Kate is noted too.

If SOME SCOPE can return to the form he showed in winning last season's Rowland Meyrick here then he could be troublesome.

1	5 1st (5) (5/2 +25%) Top Guy		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(5) Top Guy 5/2, Returned to form but had too much to do when beaten a neck off 95 over 2m4f at Southwell last time. Effective over 2½m and acts on soft ground. Looks capable of further progress in handicaps. Stayed on to go close over 2m4f at Southwell; today's trip could be right up his street.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 +13%) Dixie Mafia		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(4) Dixie Mafia 13/2, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Fair mark on debut form, and point wins suggest this longer trip will suit. Two-time 3m point winner who could relish the step up in trip on handicap debut.

Outpaced but ran to form when third beaten 5l off 96 last time. Effective from 2m5f to 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground, and looks progressive with more to come at 3m. Third at Catterick in hat-trick bid; can build on that effort at this more galloping track.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +0%) Glance Of Glory		4 4/1(+0%)																															(1) Glance Of Glory 4/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when landing a handicap by a neck off 103 over 2m4f at Worcester last time. The trainer is in form. Effective over 2m to 2½m, acts on good ground, and continues to improve. Very lightly raced 5yo; has got up close home over 2m4f at Worcester on last two starts.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 -25%) Sandscape		5 5/1(-25%)																															(6) Sandscape 5/1, Ran to form when 11l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen on his latest run. Wears a visor for the first time. Effective between 2m4f and 2m7f, acts on good ground, and arrives in good form. 0-8 over hurdles but has run well on last two starts and he's an each-way contender.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +31%) Bombay Pete		11 11/1(+31%)																															(8) Bombay Pete 11/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee last time. A 3m point winner who is likely to need further than 2m under rules. Well beaten in novice hurdles but promise in 3m point; big step up in trip on h'cap debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 +0%) The Clonmel Kid		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) The Clonmel Kid 14/1, Made mistakes but returned to form when dropped in grade, finishing 9½l third in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Wetherby on his latest run. Returns from a short break. Effective at 2½m on good to soft ground but inconsistent. Yard is in better form now than when he last raced and he's unexposed at this trip.
8th	3 8th (3) (25/1 -108%) The Great Escape		25 25/1(-108%)																															(3) The Great Escape 25/1, Raced far too freely and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Warwick last time. Had been in good form prior. Effective around 2½m and acts on good ground; stamina still to prove. Runner-up on handicap debut in July and may have needed last month's first outing since.

Princesse Milania was possibly found out when stepped up to this level as she failed to complete the hat-trick at Catterick last month, but remains in good form and is noted. However, the unexposed GLANCE OF GLORY makes plenty of appeal. Martin Keighley's gelding has progressed with each of his three starts, most recently staying on gamely to win on his handicap bow at Worcester. This step up in trip could unlock further improvement and he looks the one to side with. Sandscape is another to note.

The sharp nature of Catterick did not appear to suit PRINCESSE MILANIA when she was denied a hat-trick a fortnight ago.

Seemed to be going okay before falling at Aintree last month; could have a say.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +68%) Tune In A Box		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(2) Tune In A Box 9/2, Showed little on chasing debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time; effective from 2m3f to 3m, acts on soft and good ground; should do better over fences. 4-14 over hurdles; never really looked dangerous on chase debut; might come on for the run.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -27%) Bonza Boy		14 14/1(-27%)																															(8) Bonza Boy 14/1, Returned to form off a reduced mark when beaten 4l off 106 at Exeter last time; back from a long layoff; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft ground; respected. Returned to form with good second at Exeter in February; not seen since.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -80%) Lumi Plugin		9 9/1(-80%)																															(6) Lumi Plugin 9/1, Ran to form off a new mark when beaten a neck off 113 at Warwick last time; best around 2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground; may feature if improving for fences. Ended last season in good form over hurdles; makes chasing debut after eight-month break.

Promising novice hurdler last season; last of five on chase debut but can do better here.

BEN SOLO looked to be on really good terms with himself when making all over C&D a couple of weeks ago and, open to stacks more improvement, Rebecca Curtis' charge can record a quick double. Lumi Plugin has every chance if ready to roll following a 236-day absence, while it's also worth keeping a close eye on Just Over Land.

The most obvious answer is BEN SOLO (nap), who made all over C&D a fortnight ago and remains lightly raced over fences.

Point and bumper winner; clear chance here on form linked to Grade 2 second Blake.

Flat Race at Punchestown; looked in need of a stiffer test and poses a potential threat on hurdle debut with yard having won this last year. Beat Burrows Drive on debut and then contested the season's two Grade 1 bumpers, respected.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/1 +38%) I Started A Joke		10 10/1(+38%)																															(13) I Started A Joke 10/1, Green and made mistakes on a mildly promising debut when fourth, beaten 28l in a maiden hurdle at Listowel; off a short break and could improve with experience for this trip. Capable sort in bumpers, remote fourth on hurdling at Listowel, should do better than that.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 -13%) Coyote Spirit		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Coyote Spirit 18/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 13l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f here last time; trainer in form; acts on any ground and progressing with strong form lines. Solid form in bumpers but may struggle to reverse Navan form with Copacabana.
5th	10 5th (10) (200/1 +0%) Genepi George		200 200/1(+0%)																															(10) Genepi George 200/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in an auction bumper at Limerick on only start; returning from a long layoff and has plenty to find. Down the field in a bumper at Limerick last winter, can be left out of calculations.
6th	6 6th (6) (85/40 +29%) Colcannon		2.125 85/40(+29%)																															(6) Colcannon 85/40, Very promising debut when second, beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown; effective at 2m and handles cut; classy bumper performer whose debut form has been franked at Graded level, should be winning soon. One of the best of last term's bumper horses, beaten by a smart novice on hurdling debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (6/4 +63%) Burrows Drive		1.5 6/4(+63%)																															(2) Burrows Drive 6/4, Travelled strongly and won a bumper here by 12l last time; that form franked; returning from a long layoff but holds a chance on debut. Promise in two starts before a 12l bumper win at Navan in March, could go well if ready.
8th	19 8th (19) (200/1 -33%) Under Cover		200 200/1(-33%)																															(19) Under Cover 200/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Fairyhouse; poor in points previously; off a short break and has a lot to do. Weak form in point-to-points, dropped away to finish towards the rear in a bumper.
9th	12 9th (12) (80/1 -142%) Good Option		80 80/1(-142%)																															(12) Good Option 80/1, Promising effort when runner-up, beaten 8l in a maiden over 3m at Fairyhouse on debut; faces a tough assignment now. Second in a maiden point at Fairyhouse, pedigree implies he might need a test of stamina.
10th	16 10th (16) (150/1 +25%) Patsy's Pride		150 150/1(+25%)																															(16) Patsy's Pride 150/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a bumper at Fairyhouse last time; plenty to find. Well-related point winner, tailed off in a bumper at Fairyhouse, can be ruled out.
11th	4 11th (4) (80/1 -264%) Centreofattention		80 80/1(-264%)																															(4) Centreofattention 80/1, Showed improvement from debut despite greenness and mistakes when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Galway last time; hood applied for the first time; capable of better over hurdles for top connections, though handicaps may suit later. Bumper winner in Britain, fair run over hurdles before a decent effort in a rated chase.
12th	22 12th (22) (200/1 0%) Can't Catch Molly		200 200/1(0%)																															(22) Can't Catch Molly 200/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here; handles heavy ground but may need more time and a longer trip.

Placed in all four races over hurdles, beaten favourite latest, needs to raise his game.

Ran in a bumper in 2023; emphatic winner at Loughanmore in April on second start in points.
15th	25 15th (25) (125/1 +50%) Marions Diva		125 125/1(+50%)																															(25) Marions Diva 125/1, Green and modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal; looks one for the future. Jumping left a lot to be desired on her debut at Down Royal, not a likely contender yet.
16th	24 16th (24) (125/1 -89%) Madame Masque		125 125/1(-89%)																															(24) Madame Masque 125/1, Outpaced and modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park; 3m point winner now with a top yard, may want further. Point winner almost two years ago, should be better for last month's reappearance.
17th	23 17th (23) (66/1 -65%) Fedneys Park		66 66/1(-65%)																															(23) Fedneys Park 66/1, Below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown after having every chance; stays 2-3m and handles cut; likely to get further in time. Remote third on hurdling at Limerick, rejected by Darragh O'Keeffe last time, same again.
18th	15 18th (15) (125/1 +38%) Lunar Landscape		125 125/1(+38%)																															(15) Lunar Landscape 125/1, Poor effort when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; had fair Flat form this summer but stamina and ground raise concerns over hurdles. Placed six times on the Flat at a modest level; no sign of ability over hurdles so far.
19th	20 19th (20) (125/1 +38%) Whatafoolbelieves		125 125/1(+38%)																															(20) Whatafoolbelieves 125/1, Poor debut up in trip when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f here; needs significant improvement. Likely to need a handicap mark on the evidence of bumper form and a first hurdles start.
20th	27 20th (27) (150/1 +25%) Annilogs Flame		150 150/1(+25%)																															(27) Annilogs Flame 150/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown; point-to-pointer likely to need more time under rules. Reserve, ordinary form in points, not a bad run at Punchestown in June on hurdling debut.
21st	14 21st (14) (66/1 -313%) Kikadi		66 66/1(-313%)																															(14) Kikadi 66/1, 78,000 euros Doctor Dino gelding; top trainer; bred to handle cut; watch betting. Solid French pedigree, interesting prospect for Henry de Bromhead, tough introduction.
22nd	1 22nd (1) (250/1 -25%) Ardgillan		250 250/1(-25%)																															(1) Ardgillan 250/1, Failed to build on debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; yet to show much under rules. Nothing in two bumper runs and two hurdles starts to suggest he can play a featuring part.
23rd	11 23rd (11) (150/1 -500%) Genuine Article		150 150/1(-500%)																															(11) Genuine Article 150/1, Ran to form when beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at The Curragh last time; had been in good form prior; useful flat performer worth a market check on hurdle debut. Useful 92-rated Flat performer, modest strike rate (2-21), placed nine times noteworthy.
24th	9 24th (9) (125/1 +38%) Diamond Island		125 125/1(+38%)																															(9) Diamond Island 125/1, Outpaced and in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park; effective around 2 1/2m but likely to find 2m too sharp again. Well-exposed in points, weak form on the track, safe to ignore.
25th	21 25th (21) (80/1 -60%) Bet On Beauty		80 80/1(-60%)																															(21) Bet On Beauty 80/1, Promising debut when narrow 1/2l winner in a maiden over 3m at Comea; returning from a long layoff and market may prove best guide on hurdle debut. Won a seven-runner mares' maiden in February on yielding, half-sister to several winners.
26th	18 26th (18) (80/1 +68%) Sneddy Eddie		80 80/1(+68%)																															(18) Sneddy Eddie 80/1, Poor run when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 1m, acts on soft ground, stamina a question for hurdles. Three-time Flat winner at a modest level (rated 53), has struggled in two hurdle starts.

COLCANNON won two bumpers including a Grade 2 event at Leopardstown and was third behind Bambino Fever in the Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival, with Copacabana over two lengths behind in fourth. The Noel Meade-trained gelding had a number of these rivals well behind when runner-up to Koktail Brut on hurdle debut at Punchestown last month and that form was well advertised at Fairyhouse last weekend. Riding arrangements suggest Road Exile is preferred of Gordon Elliott's pair, and he was a creditable third behind Blake when switched to hurdles at Down Royal. Burrows Drive was a smart sort in bumpers, while useful Flat handicapper Genuine Article is another interesting recruit to hurdles.

No match for the subsequent Royal Bond winner Koktail Brut at Punchestown COLCANNON (nap) is tipped to go one better now

Ran creditably on reappearance; this step back up in trip is ideal; possibilities.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Dramatic Encore		4 4/1(+0%)																															(5) Dramatic Encore 4/1, Ran to form when 9 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Warwick last time; effective around 2m4f on good to soft or good; consistent in a short career. May resume improvement with Warwick reappearance under her belt.
4	4 |U| (4) (28/1 -40%) Ring O Roses		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Ring O Roses 28/1, Ran to form on stable debut, just tiring late back from a break when 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time; returning from a long layoff; effective around 2 1/2m on soft or good; well handicapped on Irish form and a threat if fit. Record is only 1-13; absent for nearly a year; second run for new yard.
8	8 |PU| (8) (5/2 -33%) Crazierthandaisy		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(8) Crazierthandaisy 5/2, Improved and well placed to challenge with hurdles removed when landing a handicap by 1l off 110 over 2m5f at Warwick last time; effective around 2m4f on soft or good; steadily progressing. Something to prove on a track like Sandown but otherwise is largely progressive.
10	10 |PU| (10) (28/1 -211%) Northern Symphonie		28 28/1(-211%)																															(10) Northern Symphonie 28/1, Bit below form off a revised mark, got racing too early when second, beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2 1/2–3m on good; progressive over summer but a career best needed on return with conditions a concern. Faces a stiffer assignment at this level on debut for new yard.

Crazierthandaisy accounted for Dramatic Encore (third) when victorious by a length on her return to the fray at Warwick last month and could have more to come on just her fourth start in a handicap. However, SUNSET MARQUESA shaped with promise when third over an extended 2m2f at Exeter and will appreciate this step back up in trip. Off just a 2lb higher rating, she looks the way to go.

The best option in this depleted field may be SUNSET MARQUESA who won on heavy ground last season and made an encouraging reappearance.

1	5 1st (5) (7/2 -180%) Chase A Fortune		3.5 7/2(-180%)																															(5) Chase A Fortune 7/2, Ran to form back over hurdles, showing a willing attitude when beaten a head off 105 over 2m1f at Carlisle last time. Effective up to 2m1f and handles any ground. In form and looks fairly treated despite a 3lb rise. Narrowly denied back hurdling latest; won't need to pull out much more for cheekpieces.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +50%) Double Oban		1.75 7/4(+50%)																															(2) Double Oban 7/4, Made mistakes and never travelled when down the field in a Newbury handicap hurdle last time, likely needed the run. In good form prior; cheekpieces on for the first time. Effective at 2m and handles any ground; progressive last term. Four hurdle wins last term and could leave last month's reappearance behind; headgear on.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +0%) Kingston Narcissus		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Kingston Narcissus 9/2, Ran to form when 8 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso on latest start. Effective at 2m1f and handles soft and good ground. Consistent type who could come on for that run. Respectable third on Kelso reappearance 18 days ago but he's only 1-23 overall.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +61%) Hourless		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(6) Hourless 11/2, Needed the run after wind surgery when well beaten in a Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Now on second run since the operation. Effective from 2m to 2m3f and handles soft and good ground. Could improve. Well held on return from wind surgery six weeks ago and his claims aren't obvious.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +10%) Thereisnodoubt		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(4) Thereisnodoubt 9/2, Made mistakes and ran below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time, likely needed the outing. Effective at 2m and suited by plenty of cut. Should come on for the return. Signed off last season with a 2m Ayr win and last month's return there possibly needed.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 -175%) Justus		33 33/1(-175%)																															(3) Justus 33/1, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a Southwell handicap last time. Effective around 2m over hurdles and acts on heavy and good ground. Fair chance now back hurdling. Hurdle and Flat winner in 2024 but well held on AW Flat in April and off again since.

Having fallen over fences at Kelso on his penultimate start, CHASE A FORTUNE appreciated the switch to hurdles when beaten a head at Carlisle. Chris Grant's gelding went up 3lb for that effort and may find further improvement for the application of cheekpieces. Similar comments apply to Double Oban, who is taken to leave his Newbury return behind him, and Kingston Narcissus is another capable of being in the mix.

Double Oban could prove a different proposition with a run behind him but the most solid option is CHASE A FORTUNE (nap).

Close third of five at Wetherby on chase debut and every chance this longer trip will suit.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +0%) Captain Butler		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Captain Butler 9/2, Ran to form when just tiring late back from a break and up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 3 1/4l off 120 at Ayr last time; goes chasing quickly; more to come judged on point form; a clear threat. Lightly raced 7yo who is open to improvement on this chase debut and second stable start.

This represents a drop in grade for Inedit Star after his second at Wetherby in October, and he holds an obvious chance. However, he is yet to get his head in front in the UK and, with that in mind, KDEUX SAINT FRAY gets the nod. Despite Anthony Honeyball's five-year-old jumping left throughout, he still ran out a three-length victor at Cheltenham last month. A 3lb rise looks on the lenient side and he could take full advantage. Captain Butler isn't out of it either.

This may well go to CAPTAIN BUTLER, a lightly raced point winner who could improve for the switch to fences.

Pyleigh Master ended his last campaign on a positive note winning a Ffos Las maiden and could go well here if ready to roll on his return. However, it could pay to side with the race-fit GETALEAD, who certainly wasn't disgraced when fourth at Kempton 12 days ago. Queens Venture and C&D winner Idefix De Ciergues are others to take seriously.

After travelling well to a point on his seasonal debut, CHAMPAGNE CHIC and can pose a more potent threat here if that run did him good.

KOVANIS is one of three runners from the Gordon Elliott yard to record an impressive maiden hurdle win last time and it looks significant that Jack Kennedy sides with the son of Tunis. The point-to-point winner landed a bumper at Leopardstown last Christmas and made all for a cosy win over an extended 2m3f at Clonmel last month. C&D winner Classical Creek and Port Authority, who scored by a wide margin at Naas, complete a powerful challenge by the Cullentra team. Thedeviluno beat Elliott's Starlight Hustle (won since) at Gowran, while Galway victor Doctor Steinberg and easy Gowran winner Daydream Nation add further spice to a fascinating Grade 2.

Gordon Elliott, who dominated last Sunday's Fairyhouse fixture, has a strong hand. Jack Kennedy's presence on KOVANIS looks significant

ABSOLUTELY DOYEN hasn't looked back since joining the Paul Nicholls yard, winning three on the bounce, and is now 8lb higher than his two-and-a-half length success at Ascot last month. The son of Doyen might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests on that occasion and is taken to strike once again. Kikijo won well in this grade at Cheltenham and is likely to be thereabouts, while Lavender Hill Mob looked a different proposition when upped in trip at Cheltenham and may have more to offer.

Plenty have possibilities in an open contest. KIKIJO is narrowly preferred, ahead of Lavender Hill Mob.

5	5 |PU| (5) (13/2 -44%) The Scorpion King		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(5) The Scorpion King 13/2, Ran to form, just flattening out late back from a break on hurdles return when fourth, beaten 11l, in a Ffos Las handicap hurdle last time. Effective up to 3m2f and acts on heavy and soft ground. Competitive hurdles mark if ready to roll. 3-8 as a chaser and firmly enters the reckoning after respectable return over hurdles.

Effective at 3m in points but has something to prove on his first rules run since 2022. Has won a couple of points since showing some promise over hurdles for Nicky Henderson.
9	9 |PU| (9) (40/1 -60%) Ballylinch		40 40/1(-60%)																															(9) Ballylinch 40/1, Failed to build on his reappearance when comfortably held in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Effective up to 3m and best on good ground. Has been struggling since his return. A case can be made on best form but has been laboured in two runs after an absence.

Fern Hill has turned a corner recently with the 10-year-old recording back-to-back victories at Uttoxeter and Huntingdon, having previously not won since November 2022. He is respected off a 3lb higher mark, but the less-exposed EXPRESS SURPRISE gets the vote after a solid return effort at Lingfield. The six-year-old should have more to offer on just his fifth start over fences. Gold Emery and Visual Impact head the remainder.

The 6yo EXPRESS SURPRISE looked good on the last day he encountered soft ground and his reappearance effort was promising.

Returns from a long layoff and yet to convince in this sphere. Yet to threaten over fences but won off this mark over hurdles in January; not ruled out.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) Richmond Lake		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(2) Richmond Lake 9/2, Travelled well and probably challenged a bit early when 17l third in a 3m handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. This is his second run after wind surgery; consistent and effective over 2 1/2-3m. On a handy mark and shaped with promise on reappearance; won last running of this in 2023.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -193%) Ned Tanner		22 22/1(-193%)																															(7) Ned Tanner 22/1, Travelled well but found little after a bad mistake when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and suited by some cut; should improve from that run. May have needed reappearance run; won twice last season and might not be far away.
4	4 4th (4) (9/4 +10%) Margaret's Legacy		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(4) Margaret's Legacy 9/4, Improved again when beaten 1 1/2l off a mark of 126 at Bangor-on-Dee last time, having been slightly unlucky when his rider dropped the whip. Effective over 2 1/2m on soft or good to soft ground; progressive type who could make amends. Has done very well since joining this yard and holds solid claims.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -9%) Bleu D'enfer		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Bleu D'enfer 12/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a 2m5f handicap chase here last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m but looks on a stiff mark. Soundly beaten in Grand Sefton but Brian Hughes remains on board for second stable start.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -100%) Gaelic Arc		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Gaelic Arc 40/1, Outpaced and outclassed when fourth, beaten 38l, in the Barberstown Castle Chase (Grade 3) over 2m at Naas last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m but inconsistent and on a stiff mark. Irish challenger; well treated on his best form this summer but has gone off the boil.

C&D winner Richmond Lake finished third over 3m on his return to action at Bangor last month. That might have put him spot on for this, so he is noted along with Margaret's Legacy. However, THE KALOOKI KID ran with plenty of credit in the Colin Parker at Carlisle last month and now returns to handicap company. The seven-year-old is likely to progress from that effort and could find the improvement required to strike.

A chance is taken on BLEU D'ENFER on his second run for Donald McCain. His breakthrough chase win at Carlisle in April reads well.

Effective up to 3m6f and suited by soft ground; should improve for that reappearance. Second in last season's Welsh National here; may find 2m7f on good to soft too sharp.

Effective up to 3m3f and acts on heavy and good to soft going; may need this run. Thorough stayer; absent since April and needs to be in peak form to threaten off this mark.

Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good to soft ground; not the most reliable, with others arriving in better form. Dual C&D winner in December 2021 but lighly raced and generally very disappointing since.

Kept on well for second at Ludlow in April but 7lb wrong on this seasonal debut.
1	1 |PU| (1) (12/1 +64%) Stay Away Fay		12 12/1(+64%)																															(1) Stay Away Fay 12/1, Pulled up in the Grand National over 4m2f at Aintree last time; effective at 3m and handles soft ground. Needs to prove his ability remains, having shown little in the past two years. Smart in his prime but pulled up on four of last five appearances.

The aptly-named AWORKINPROGRESS clearly benefited from a patient approach over hurdles with Nick Gifford's charge unbeaten in five starts over fences. The six-year-old made a winning return at Lingfield last month and victory here would seal his position near the head of the market for the Welsh National at the end of the month. Makin'yourmindup was last seen in March 2024 and is respected following a wind operation, while Minella Blueway is capable of leaving behind his Cheltenham effort in October.

Aworkinprogress is opposed with MAKIN'YOURMINDUP, who was in good form in early 2024 and who resumes on a tempting mark.

BUACHAILLBOCHT was progressive over hurdles winning three times including twice over an extended 2m6f at Punchestown before switching to fences last season and justifying heavy support on his final start at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. The selection handles soft ground well and will relish this stamina test. Paddy's Milestone won over 3m at Down Royal last year and was absent until beating Grimaud by two lengths over 2m5f here last month with Gringo D'aubrelle back in fifth. However, he's now 10lb out of the handicap proper and stablemate Ayiko may prove more of a threat on his third to Custom Taylor in a valuable 2m7f Fairyhouse handicap last spring. Yeats Star is another to consider.

On the back of a good chase run at Cheltenham FASCILE MODE gets the vote, ahead of Ayiko and Grimaud

Effective at 2m, acts on any ground; a top-class juvenile hurdler last term who looks equally good over fences. Leading Arkle hope and the one to beat.

2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 -78%) Be Aware		8 8/1(-78%)																															(2) Be Aware 8/1, From the yard that won this last year; finished second, beaten 1 1/2l, in the Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase (Grade 2) over 2m at Cheltenham last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; progressive over fences and worth a step back up in trip. Similar type to last year's winner, stablemate L'Eau du Sud, and has taken the same route.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -33%) Lump Sum		6 6/1(-33%)																															(3) Lump Sum 6/1, Went clear comfortably and ran to his best on chase debut when winning a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter over 2m by 16l last time. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft; a useful handicapper over hurdles whose debut form has been franked. Worth a step up in class but faces a tough task. Very useful hurdler; powered clear in the latter stages at Uttoxeter switched to chasing.

Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground; bold jumper, progressive over fences. 2-2 since switched to fences, the latest performance at Cheltenham; may improve further.

Grade 1 winner Lulamba is sure to be all the rage as he sets the standard with an official rating of 153 and was the best of these over the smaller obstacles. Unsurprisingly, he justified cramped odds on his chasing bow at Exeter, but if there are any chinks in his armour, LUMP SUM can be the one to benefit. Sam Thomas' seven-year-old beat a subsequent winner by 16 lengths on his first start over fences at Uttoxeter in October and his brilliant jumping could stand him in good stead. Be Aware can beat Alnilam home for third.

The sky's the limit for 4yo LULAMBA who is taken to cement his Arkle claims. Lump Sum is second pick.

6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 +11%) Mac's Max		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Mac's Max 4/1, Fair debut when runner-up, beaten 2 1/4l in a juvenile bumper over 2m1f at Newcastle on only start. Effective at 2m1f and acts on good to soft; capable of better. Out of a 5f winner but had Striking Midnight just behind when second at Newcastle.

Mac's Max filled the runner-up spot on his racecourse bow at Newcastle where Striking Midnight finished one place behind and the pair are expected to be in the mix once again. It wouldn't be a surprise if softer conditions saw the latter reverse the form, but COTTON SOCKS is preferred. He raced keenly on debut when second at Huntingdon and the application of a hood might help to make the difference.

The newcomers need checking in the betting but COTTON SOCKS ran perfectly well at Huntingdon when strong in the market.

Effective around 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; summer form has been franked but looks vulnerable to a less exposed rival.

Paul Nicholls has trained four of the last seven winners, the majority of those when the race was formerly run as the Summit at Doncaster, and TREASURE PLANET has strong claims of adding to that tally. The latter took a big step forward when landing the odds with a commanding display at Ludlow on only his second start over hurdles and there looks plenty more to come. A maiden winner on the Flat in ireland, Edelak has joined Dan Skelton's yard and could prove competitive on his hurdling debut, while Bibe Mus and Scarlet Moon are others worthy of consideration.

Heavy ground may have been against LORD at Cheltenham and he is taken to bounce back and post his fourth juvenile hurdle win.

3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -50%) Willmount		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(1) Willmount 9/2, Going okay when falling in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Ffos Las last time; effective around 2m and acts on good to soft or good ground. Has a chance if fine after that fall on return, though still has stamina to prove. Seemed to be running well before falling on stable/chase debut; remains of interest.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +66%) Felicie Du Maquis		7.5 15/2(+66%)																															(5) Felicie Du Maquis 15/2, Outpaced, never threatened, poor chase return when well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Warwick latest; effective 3m, suited by plenty of cut; fair mark on hurdle form but yet to fire over fences. Three-time hurdle winner; on a good mark but needs to prove herself over fences.
3	3 |F| (3) (10/1 -100%) Ivaldi		10 10/1(-100%)																															(3) Ivaldi 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time and has since undergone a wind operation; effective around 2m4f and acts on soft or good to soft ground. Still has potential. Disappointed on both hurdle starts last season; makes chase debut after another layoff.
4	4 |PU| (4) (15/8 +63%) Elysian Knight		1.875 15/8(+63%)																															(4) Elysian Knight 15/8, Ran to form back in a handicap when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Plumpton latest; effective around 2m4f, acts on S, G; chance on chase debut if fit. Promising novice hurdlers last season; up in trip for chase debut; one to consider.

ALAN DE BANKS shaped with promise on all three starts last season and is expected to benefit from the switch to fences coming from the family of Grade 1-winning chaser Joncol. Elysian Knight is another chasing debutant expected to be in the mix after winning twice over hurdles, while Willmount was right in contention when falling on his first attempt over the larger obstacles at Ffos Las. If showing no ill-effects, the seven-year-old is more than capable of a decent showing.

Lightly raced 6yo ALAN DE BANKS ran well in defeat on his handicap hurdle debut in January and switches to fences with huge potential.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +50%) Down Memory Lane		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(2) Down Memory Lane 7/2, From a yard that has won the last three renewals; finished down the field in the Galway Plate (Grade 3) over 2m7f at Galway most recently. Returning from a break; effective between 2m and 2 1/2m, acts on soft or yielding ground. Talented but jumping remains a concern, mark fair on Graded form. Maiden winner here last season but jumping has let him down since.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +64%) Search For Glory		5 5/1(+64%)																															(8) Search For Glory 5/1, From the yard that won this race the last three years; needed the run when down the field in the Troytown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) over 3m here last time. Effective at 3m, fairly treated on novice form but still has something to prove. Ran well to a point in Troytown; drop back in trip may suit and not one to rule out.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -64%) Harry Des Ongrais		9 9/1(-64%)																															(3) Harry Des Ongrais 9/1, Pulled up in the Irish Grand National over 3m5f at Fairyhouse last time; best around 2 1/2m and acts on soft ground. Looks high enough in the weights. Absent since pulled up (mistakes) in Irish National in April; bit to prove off this mark.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 +13%) Grandero Bello		14 14/1(+13%)																															(6) Grandero Bello 14/1, Needed the run and was outclassed when comfortably held in the Lismullen Hurdle (Grade 2) over 2m4f here last time. Trainer in form, easier ground a plus and not without a chance. All the better for recent comeback run so don't rule out back chasing on favoured ground.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/3 -78%) Inthepocket		3.333333 10/3(-78%)																															(1) Inthepocket 10/3, Fell in the Barberstown Castle Chase (Grade 3) over 2m at Naas last time; effective at 2m. A Grade 1 winner over hurdles, a very useful chaser though has had issues, and looks fairly treated off this mark. Faller on last month's return in Grade 3; first try over this trip on handicap debut.
9	9 |U| (9) (25/1 +24%) The Gradual Slope		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) The Gradual Slope 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Roscommon last time; effective over 3m and further but currently out of form and this looks inadequate test. Inadequate trip here and 13lb out of handicap.
4	4 |PU| (4) (4/1 -60%) Tullyhill		4 4/1(-60%)																															(4) Tullyhill 4/1, Returned to form when second, beaten 8l, in a beginners' chase over 2m at Wexford last time. Effective at 2m, handles heavy and good going. In moderate form overall, mark looks stiff. Still a maiden over fences; jumping remains a concern and goes up in trip here.
5	5 |PU| (5) (8/1 -45%) Backtonormal		8 8/1(-45%)																															(5) Backtonormal 8/1, Needed the run and was probably using it as a prep for chasing when down the field in the Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle (Listed) over 2m4f at Naas last time; progressive over fences previously and unexposed in this sphere; one to consider. Leopardstown Chase winner sure to come on from recent hurdles return; respected.
7	7 |PU| (7) (28/1 -12%) Hartur D'arc		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Hartur D'arc 28/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Had been in good form before; better over fences and likely to appreciate further than this for new yard. Former Leinster National winner; debuts for new yard here after 7 months' absence.

INTHEPOCKET was a Grade 1 winner over hurdles but has suffered an interrupted campaign since sent chasing. He reappeared after a lengthy break to easily win at Wexford last autumn but needs to bounce back after a fall on his reappearance at Naas last month. Tullyhill was held in high regard as a novice over hurdles and had Harry Des Ongrais behind when runner-up to Mistergif over fences at Fairyhouse earlier this year. The Willie Mullins-trained grey tends to jump left and should benefit from his reappearance at Wexford. Backtonormal took the valuable Leopardstown Handicap Chase in fine style last season but disappointed over hurdles at Naas last month.

It may pay to take a chance on SEARCH FOR GLORY, who ran better than the result suggests in the Troytown and drops in trip here

1	7 1st (7) (11/2 +39%) Go Dante		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(7) Go Dante 11/2, Below form up in trip when comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time, possibly not staying and needing the run. Effective at 2m, acts with cut; dual Imperial Cup winner but inconsistent. Two from two at Sandown, namely wins in the Imperial Cup in 2024 and 2025.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +0%) Knickerbockerglory		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(2) Knickerbockerglory 5/2, Last year's winner; fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest. Trainer in form; enjoys making it and effective at 2m on any ground. Consistent with good record fresh, should run his race. Good reappearance record includes a success in this race last year; respected back here.

Effective at 2m and suited by good to soft ground, though recent form has dipped. Nicely treated on lots of form, including close third in last season's Imperial Cup.

Dropping back in trip and likes the track but others arrive in better form. Has a doubt over current form judged on his two Flat efforts this year.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/4 +50%) Glynn Brae		1.75 7/4(+50%)																															(5) Glynn Brae 7/4, Rallied gamely to win a handicap by a neck off 128 over 2m4f here last time, relishing the longer trip. Enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m; progressive and a strong stayer, though the drop in trip may not suit. Scored at Sandown on reappearance, taking record to 5-8; may progress further; big player.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 0%) L'astroboy		33 33/1(0%)																															(6) L'astroboy 33/1, Looked a clear non-stayer when second beaten 2 1/4l in a novice hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow latest. Effective over 2m and acts on soft; drop in trip should help, but must prove ability remains after a long layoff. Still unexposed but has been absent since March 2023; market helpful.
7th	8 7th (8) (22/1 +12%) Honky Tonk Highway		22 22/1(+12%)																															(8) Honky Tonk Highway 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; yard won this race last year. Trainer in form; effective 2-3m, suited by cut; should come on for that run. Two from two at Sandown; dismal effort at Bangor on handicap/seasonal debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +14%) Goshen		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Goshen 12/1, Outclassed and may not have stayed when down the field in the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f here last time. Likes this venue and has dropped in weights but big enthusiasm concerns. Smart on his day but is mercurial and hasn't won over hurdles for three years.

It was heavy going when Knickerbockerglory won this last year, but he could only manage fifth behind GO DANTE when the latter landed the Imperial Cup for the second time back in March. Olly Murphy's charge is only 3lb higher and another bold bid looks on the cards. Afadil finished a close third behind the selection in March and could feature if back to his best, while the progressive Glynn Brae remains of interest having scored over 2m4f here on his reappearance.

Being a last-time course winner who may well improve further, GLYNN BRAE (nap) is preferred. Knickerbockerglory is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (18/1 +36%) Twig		18 18/1(+36%)																															(4) Twig 18/1, Returned to form down in trip and grade after a break, outstaying rivals to land a Veterans' Handicap Chase by a neck off 142 over 3m at Sandown last time. Suited by 3m on a sound surface, though a revised mark may prove demanding. Mixed messages; won last month but tenth in the Grand National in April was a remote one.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +10%) Mr Vango		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Mr Vango 9/2, Landed the Midlands Grand National by a length off 143 over 4m2f at Uttoxeter last time; returning from a long layoff. Enjoys making the running and effective over 3m2f+, needs some cut. A hugely progressive thorough stayer who won fresh last year and can give a good account. Rain will help and this plucky front-runner can dig deep again to find more improvement.
3	12 3rd (12) (12/1 +25%) Val Dancer		12 12/1(+25%)																															(12) Val Dancer 12/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Enjoys making the running; suited by 3m+ with plenty of cut, though looks on a stiff mark. Probably needed the race last month and a leading player judged on last season's exploits.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 -50%) Galia Des Liteaux		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Galia Des Liteaux 9/1, Outpaced and needed the run when beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. The trainer is in form. Effective around 3m and dropping in the weights, though her form has tailed off recently. 8th in the 2024 Grand National off 12lb higher; needs respect for top yard.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 +64%) Mahons Glory		12 12/1(+64%)																															(9) Mahons Glory 12/1, Returned to form under an aggressive ride when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap chase over 2m5f here last time. Enjoys making the running; effective from 2m4f-2m6f, though stamina remains to be proven. Showed plenty of dash up front when 4th of 17 in the 2m5f Grand Sefton over these fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 +10%) Bill Baxter		9 9/1(+10%)																															(5) Bill Baxter 9/1, Well treated on chase form, went clear and ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off 126 over 3m at Newbury last time. Former Topham winner here who proved stamina with Punchestown victory in spring; major player. 2m5f winner over these fences in 2023; there's been a revival in his fortunes this season.
7th	11 7th (11) (13/2 +13%) Westerninthepark		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(11) Westerninthepark 13/2, Travelled well but needed the run when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Effective around 2 1/2m; may yet stay 3m and generally consistent. Disputed lead at final fence when respectable fourth over 3m2f at Carlisle five weeks ago.
8th	2 8th (2) (17/2 -21%) Bioluminescence		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(2) Bioluminescence 17/2, Outpaced but ran to form when 5 1/2l third in the T.A. Morris Memorial Mares Chase (Listed) over 2m5f at Clonmel on her latest run. Effective from 2 1/2-3m and suited by cut; worth another chance now stepping back up in trip. Lightly raced 7yo who jumps well and probably remains capable of better for Gavin Cromwell.
9th	7 9th (7) (18/1 -157%) White Rhino		18 18/1(-157%)																															(7) White Rhino 18/1, Hampered early, outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a handicap chase over 2m5f here last time. Effective between 2 1/2-3m; form has dipped over fences, though there were excuses last time. Jumped too ponderously here on reappearance but there were signs of warming to his task.
10th	10 10th (10) (5/1 +55%) Excello		5 5/1(+55%)																															(10) Excello 5/1, Had too much to do but returned to form with a clear run when beaten 2 1/4l off 132 over 2m5f here last time. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on decent ground; in form and well treated on French efforts. 3rd of 17 in 2m5f Grand Sefton here was his best show for ages; stamina can be questioned.
13	13 |PU| (13) (15/2 -25%) Gaboriot		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(13) Gaboriot 15/2, Returned to form down in grade and trip after a break when beaten 2l off 124 over 2m5f here last time. Effective around 3m; fairly treated on hunter chase form and boasts a good course record. 4m winner as a hunter chaser and placed in the last two Grand Seftons over these fences.
3	3 |PU| (3) (16/1 -14%) Monbeg Genius		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Monbeg Genius 16/1, Found the ground a bit quick and was comfortably held in the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown last time. Effective around 3m and acts with cut; inconsistent and lacks a strong record when fresh. Mostly competitive last term but he was behind from the word go here in the Grand National.
6	6 |PU| (6) (28/1 +15%) Roi Mage		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Roi Mage 28/1, Ran to form when winning a Listed chase at Craon over 3m6f by 3l last time. Off a short break; effective at 3m2f+ and suited by cut. Fairly treated on French form and has run well at this track in the Grand National, interesting. Another French win last time out; 7th and 9th in Grand Nationals and this trip might help.

The progressive staying chaser Mr Vango made a winning reappearance last term. He's 9lb higher than when landing the Midlands Grand National in March, while the Welsh National winner Val Dancer will be sharper for his recent return at Carlisle and could also shape well. However, GABORIOT finished an encouraging second in the Grand Sefton here last month and he gets the vote with this extra test of stamina playing to his strengths. The Irish raider Bioluminescence and Excello are not out of this either.

3m2f is probably shorter than ideal for MR VANGO (nap) but there is plenty of rain about and strength in stamina can see him win again.

Effective at 2m4f and could improve further over longer trips. Irish point winner who made pleasing start to rules career when third over C&D last month.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 +29%) Grand Vendetta		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(8) Grand Vendetta 5/2, 140,000 euros Flemensfirth gelding; half-brother to Lady Adare, very useful at 20f. This isn't a strong race and he warrants consideration on debut for a top yard. Well-bred newcomer from a top stable; interesting to see how he fares.
3	9 3rd (9) (17/2 +29%) Matthias		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(9) Matthias 17/2, Game effort, improving from debut when second, beaten 4 1/2l, in a bumper over 2m1f at Exeter last time. Absent for a lengthy spell and has a bit to find. Makes hurdle debut after two-year absence but looked promising in bumpers.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -56%) Eton Mes		25 25/1(-56%)																															(6) Eton Mes 25/1, Had every chance and ran to form when down the field in a maiden bumper over 2m1f at Newton Abbot most recently. More required to feature. Placed in first of his three bumpers; improvement required on hurdling debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 +72%) Crossgales King		14 14/1(+72%)																															(3) Crossgales King 14/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and may need more time over hurdles. Showed ability in bumpers and his C&D hurdle debut was not without promise.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +0%) Brisky Dancer		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Brisky Dancer 4/1, £165,000 breeze-up purchase by No Risk At All; half-brother to Gold Dancer, smart at 20f. Tongue-tied for debut and looks a player for a good yard. Half-brother to connections' high-class jumper Al Dancer; respected on debut.
7th	13 7th (13) (50/1 +38%) The Italian Fox		50 50/1(+38%)																															(13) The Italian Fox 50/1, Green and needed the run when down the field in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Exeter most recently. Trainer in form and may appreciate longer trips in due course. With a good stable but did not show a great deal on his first two hurdling starts.
8th	5 8th (5) (80/1 +47%) Devilsrollthedice		80 80/1(+47%)																															(5) Devilsrollthedice 80/1, Moderate hurdles debut when fourth, beaten 44l, in a maiden hurdle here last time.

7	7 |PU| (7) (100/1 -300%) Getaway Sam		100 100/1(-300%)																															(7) Getaway Sam 100/1, Ran to a moderate level when down the field in a novice hurdle over 2m here last time.

MODERN MAN won an Irish point-to-point last December and is entitled to have come forward for his Rules debut here in a maiden hurdle last month. A decent third on that occasion, he can only improve and is in the right hands to progress. There are a couple of interesting debutants going to post, though, and it will be worth keeping an eye on the market when it comes to Grand Vendetta and Brisky Dancer.

It's hard to get away from MODERN MAN, who made a good start to his rules career when third over C&D last month.

1	10 1st (10) (11/2 +15%) Predators Gold		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(10) Predators Gold 11/2, From a yard that has won the last two renewals of this race. Ran to form when third, beaten 13l, in the Grade 1 Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown on his latest start. Absent a long time but in the mix if fit for chase debut. 145-rated hurdler season before last; market best guide on chase debut after long absence.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/2 +17%) Slade Steel		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(11) Slade Steel 5/2, Again below hurdle form when conceding first run to the all-the-way winner, finishing second, beaten 1¼l, in a 2m4f beginners' chase at Naas last time. A classy novice hurdler, not as fluent over fences but competitive down in grade if ready. Both chase runs this time last year read well; can put that experience to good use here.
3	14 3rd (14) (5/4 +44%) Wingmen		1.25 5/4(+44%)																															(14) Wingmen 5/4, Finished second, beaten 13l, in a beginners' chase here last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective around 2½m, acting on any ground. A very useful chaser who should come on for that promising debut behind a classy rival. Last month's C&D second to Final Demand makes him a major player.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 +0%) Karl Des Tourelles		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Karl Des Tourelles 18/1, Made mistakes and needed the run on chase debut when comfortably held in a beginners' chase here last time. A consistent hurdler from a yard in form, effective over 2½–3m and should build on that initial effort. Probably needed the run on last month's C&D chase debut in a hot race; more expected of.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -14%) Ballybow		25 25/1(-14%)																															(1) Ballybow 25/1, Outpaced and needed the run on chase debut when unsuited by a drop in trip, well beaten in a beginners' chase over 2m1f here last time. A useful hurdler who should appreciate this longer distance over fences. Novicey jumping on chasing debut last month when well held here; longer trip to suit.
6th	12 6th (12) (28/1 -56%) Uncle Pat		28 28/1(-56%)																															(12) Uncle Pat 28/1, From a yard that has taken the last two renewals of this race. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 8l, in a 2m6f beginners' chase at Listowel last time. Effective over 2¾–3m but may find this trip on the sharp side. Okay form in three beginners chases earlier in the season but this a much hotter contest.
7th	13 7th (13) (50/1 -100%) Win Some Lose Some		50 50/1(-100%)																															(13) Win Some Lose Some 50/1, May have found the ground too testing when well beaten in a beginners' chase here last time. Effective over 2½–3m and prefers decent ground; could improve when stepped up to 3m but conditions may be a concern. Poor effort (jumped left) over C&D last month; others hold stronger claims.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -18%) My Trump Card		33 33/1(-18%)																															(7) My Trump Card 33/1, Made mistakes and was never put into the race, needing the run when well beaten in a beginners' chase here last time. Effective over 2½–3m and should improve for that return, with the longer trip likely to suit in time. Jumping has let him down so far chasing, hard to be confident in.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 +0%) Born Braver		150 150/1(+0%)																															(2) Born Braver 150/1, Outclassed and finished down the field in a beginners' chase over 2m6f at Fairyhouse last time. Effective over 2½–3m and looks one for handicaps over fences. Moderate runs in beginners chases last month; may need more time.
6	6 |F| (6) (5/1 -25%) Kopeck De Mee		5 5/1(-25%)																															(6) Kopeck De Mee 5/1, From a yard that has won the last two runnings of this race. Well treated on French form and travelled well when second, beaten a neck, in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Highly regarded by top connections; a clear threat with promise of more to come over fences. 143-rated hurdler could well make his mark over fences this season; shortlisted.
4	4 |R| (4) (66/1 +34%) Great Universe		66 66/1(+34%)																															(4) Great Universe 66/1, Fell late when beaten in a beginners' chase over 2m7f at Galway last time. Usually held up and effective over 2½–3m, probably one for handicaps over fences. After long absence 9yo never counted before falling at last on Galway chase debut.
15	15 |R| (15) (300/1 -50%) Angels Halo		300 300/1(-50%)																															(15) Angels Halo 300/1, Looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Faces a difficult task here on chase debut. Low-grade hurdler impossible to fancy on chase debut.
10th	16 10th (16) (150/1 +0%) Butter Fingers		150 150/1(+0%)																															(16) Butter Fingers 150/1, Never threatened when comfortably held in a 2m4f beginners' chase at Gowran Park last time. Effective around 2m and handles cut in the ground; likely to need more time over fences. 4yo faces much hotter opposition than of late so hard to fancy.
11th	3 11th (3) (150/1 -127%) Dont Tell Jack		150 150/1(-127%)																															(3) Dont Tell Jack 150/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a beginners' chase over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Effective around 2½m and may be suited to staying handicaps over fences. Never sighted on yard debut in beginners chase last month; will probably want more time.
12th	9 12th (9) (125/1 -25%) Park Of Kings		125 125/1(-25%)																															(9) Park Of Kings 125/1, Needed the run on chase debut and was never involved when down the field in a 2m beginners' chase at Naas last time. Usually held up and effective over 2½–3m; the longer trip should suit but looks one for handicaps over further. 133-rated hurdler never sighted on last month's chase debut at Naas; may need more time.
13th	8 13th (8) (200/1 -33%) Mywayofthinkin		200 200/1(-33%)																															(8) Mywayofthinkin 200/1, Outpaced and never put into the race over an inadequate trip when down the field in a beginners' chase over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Effective around 2–2½m but may need more time and further over fences. Two recent beginners chase efforts suggest he's one to need handicaps.

WINGMEN was highly tried over hurdles last season including when second to Final Demand in a 2m6f Leopardstown Grade 1 and put in a generally sound round of jumping when switched to fences on his reappearance here last month. The selection was again no match for Final Demand but had a number of these rivals behind and may go on better. The 2024 Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner Slade Steel filled the runner-up spot on both chase starts last season including behind Lecky Watson at Naas, while another smart novice hurdler, Predators Gold, bids to overcome a lengthy absence on his chase debut. Kopeck De Mee won three times over hurdles in France and was just denied in an Aintree handicap this spring.

Beaten odds-on favourite in both beginners chases this time last season, the form reads really well and SLADE STEEL can go one better

1	2 1st (2) (8/11 +9%) Il Etait Temps		0.727273 8/11(+9%)																															(2) Il Etait Temps 8/11, A five-time Grade 1 winner who landed the Clonmel Oil Chase (Grade 2) over 2m5f by 18l last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m, handles soft and good. Top class and still unexposed in open company; the one to beat. Record of 6-8 over fences includes an impressive win over C&D in April; top on the figures.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Jonbon		3 3/1(+25%)																															(3) Jonbon 3/1, A 10-time Grade 1 winner who was second, beaten 15l, in the Shloer Chase (Grade 2) over 2m at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2m, a top-class and generally consistent chaser who could bounce back away from Cheltenham. Winner of this race for last two years but cracks are starting to appear; headgear fitted.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +9%) L'eau Du Sud		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(4) L'eau Du Sud 5/2, Travelled well and improved when dropped in grade to win the Shloer Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham over 2m by 15l last time. Effective at 2m, acts on most goings with a preference for some cut; progressive and competitive at this level. Landed the Henry VIII on this card last year; dotted up in the Shloer on reappearance.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 +0%) Libberty Hunter		25 25/1(+0%)																															(5) Libberty Hunter 25/1, Unseated in the Shloer Chase (Grade 2) over 2m at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft. Showed progress last season but his jumping has become an issue. Failed to complete the last twice; progressive otherwise but this is a difficult task.
5th	1 5th (1) (66/1 +18%) Boothill		66 66/1(+18%)																															(1) Boothill 66/1, Pulled up in a 2m1f handicap chase at Ascot last time. Best at 2m, handles soft and good but probably not heavy. Has had jumping issues and looks in need of a few more pounds off; vulnerable in this grade. Held by Jonbon on several pieces of form and achieved nothing at Ascot on reappearance.

A terrific renewal can go the way of IL ETAIT TEMPS. Willie Mullins' outstanding chaser warmed up nicely for this with a facile victory at Clonmel last month, having beaten Jonbon (second) in great style when landing the Celebration Chase here in April. The latter bids to land this for the third time, but he also found L'eau Du Sud too good in the Shloer at Cheltenham on his reappearance, and Dan Skelton's charge appears to be the bigger threat to the selection on that evidence.

With further improvement highly plausible, L'EAU DU SUD could well reach or surpass the standard set by Il Etait Temps.

1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +11%) Bear Market		4 4/1(+11%)																															(9) Bear Market 4/1, Improved when stepped up in trip after a break and a wind operation, landing a handicap by ½l off 113 at Southwell last time; now makes his second start since that procedure. Effective from 2m to 2½m and looks progressive. 2-2 at Aintree and in the tongue-tie; won on handicap debut at Southwell; strong claims.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +20%) Stream Of Stars		8 8/1(+20%)																															(6) Stream Of Stars 8/1, Ran to form and was possibly outstayed late when beaten 3l off 126 over 2m5f at Plumpton last time; effective from 2m to 2½m, acts on good ground, and consistent. 10yo who looked as good as ever when second at Plumpton and might not be far away.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +36%) Act Of Authority		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(4) Act Of Authority 9/2, Outpaced, conceded first run, and needed the outing when fourth, beaten 9¼l, in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Newbury last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and generally consistent. Runner-up at the Cheltenham Festival in March and could build on last month's comeback run.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +14%) Rubber Ball		6 6/1(+14%)																															(7) Rubber Ball 6/1, Needed the run when down the field in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle over 2m at Cheltenham most recently; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; looks on a stiff mark. Tailed off in the Greatwood but he's a player if tapping back into last season's promise.

Effective at 2½m, acts on any ground; a former useful Graded winner, well treated on these terms but needs to prove ability remains. Three-time Grade 2 winner but this 12yo has been absent since April 2024.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -33%) Cracking Rhapsody		16 16/1(-33%)																															(3) Cracking Rhapsody 16/1, Needed the run when down the field in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle over 2m at Cheltenham most recently; had been in good form before that. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft ground; worth trying over this trip, though the handicapper may have him in hand. Two major handicap wins in Scotland in the spring; well beaten on reappearance; new trip.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Sunray Shadow		11 11/1(-10%)																															(10) Sunray Shadow 11/1, Never put into the race when returning from a break and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Newbury last time; trainer in form. Effective at 2½m and could leave that reappearance effort behind when stepped back up in trip. Lightly raced 6yo who retains potential for top yard, especially now back up in trip.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +60%) Kepler's Law		8 8/1(+60%)																															(8) Kepler's Law 8/1, Found no obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Newbury last time; effective at 2½m, acts on any ground; below par since entering handicaps. Well beaten in March on final run for Laura Morgan same outcome on both runs for this yard.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/2 -38%) Rambo T		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(2) Rambo T 11/2, Improved again when landing the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle by a neck off 137 over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; returns after a short break. Effective at 2½m, acts on soft and good ground; progressive, though his mark now looks stiff. 8yo who was better than ever when winning at Chepstow and that form has been franked.

BEAR MARKET has won twice over 2m1f here and made a winning start for his new yard over today's trip at Southwell last month. That was also his first outing after a wind operation, so Mel Rowley's new charge could have more to offer as he steps up in class. Wellington Arch is 10lb higher than when landing a competitive handicap over C&D in April, but Act Of Authority has a shout off his current mark if reproducing his second in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham in March.

The thriving RAMBO T has never been better and is taken to add to October's Silver Trophy win at Chepstow. Sunray Shadow is feared.

1	7 1st (7) (5/2 -43%) Princess Day		2.5 5/2(-43%)																															(7) Princess Day 5/2, Won a maiden point by 3l over 3m at Fairyhouse in April. Effective at 3m and acts on yielding ground; bought for 170,000 euros subsequently and brings clear potential to this rules debut. Bought for 170,000euros after point win in April; interesting contender on rules debut.

5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +59%) Midnight Doyen		9 9/1(+59%)																															(6) Midnight Doyen 9/1, 16,000 euros Doyen mare; half-sister to Well Dick, fair at 24f; doesn't make as much appeal as stablemate Princess Day and probably best watched on debut. 16,000euros 3yo; stablemate of Princess Day and market should guide on debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +55%) Viva Vincente		10 10/1(+55%)																															(4) Viva Vincente 10/1, 3,000 euros Shirocco gelding; half-brother to Autonomous Cloud, very useful at 24f.

7th	5 7th (5) (125/1 0%) Maria's Joy		125 125/1(0%)																															(5) Maria's Joy 125/1, Ran poorly on debut when well beaten in a Mares' bumper at Stratford on her only start. Returns from a long absence and is yet to find suitable conditions; looks up against it. 125-1 on Stratford debut (2m, good to soft) in October and he finished tailed off.
8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -150%) Winters Hill		100 100/1(-150%)																															(8) Winters Hill 100/1, Outpaced on debut when well beaten in a maiden bumper over 2m1f at Newton Abbot on her only start. Wears a hood for the first time and likely to want 2m4f or further once hurdling; hard to fancy. Finished last of seven at Newton Abbot in April; hood is now added on her return.

Dan Skelton has introduced a few smart types already this season and Presley must be taken seriously given the yard is in such good form. However, at the likely prices, PRINCESS DAY could be the one getting weight as she readily won a point in Ireland earlier in the year. Keltype is another debutant to consider closely in the finale.

The vote goes to Dan Skelton's striking newcomer PRESLEY, whose sales price increased to 185,000euros last summer.

FIXIOS shaped well on debut when staying on into third behind the odds-on Classical Creek in a 22-runner 2m4f maiden hurdle here last month. The Noel Meade-trained gelding should benefit from that experience and gets the vote over impressive point-to-point winner With Nolimit, who was bought for 250,000 pounds after scoring for Jonathan Fogarty at Liscarroll in March. Riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to another point winner Detroit Maverick, while Treasure Memory has been placed both in a bumper and over hurdles.

Given a favourable mention by Gordon Elliott in a recent Racing Post stable tour, WITH NOLIMIT may well be ready to strike on debut

The trainer is in form, effective from 3–4m, and he is suited by marathon trips. Stays 3m4f; encouraging third at Carlisle five weeks ago should set him up for a big run.

Needs further than 3m, acts on any ground, and should appreciate a stamina test. 4m and 3m1f wins at Cheltenham; step back up in trip can help him make further progress.

Effective from 2 1/2–3 1/2m, acts on soft and good ground, and is steadily progressive. 3m4f Sussex National winner who took three-runner race here four weeks ago over just 2m4f.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -83%) Ask Brewster		5.5 11/2(-83%)																															(3) Ask Brewster 11/2, Game effort when improving again back down in trip, winning the Native River Handicap Chase by 4 1/4l off 121 over 3m at Chepstow last time. Effective over 3m+, acts on most ground, and still looks on a fair mark. Hat-trick all on good or good to firm; has more improvement in him if the ground is okay.

Effective over 3m+, acts on heavy and good to soft ground, and looks progressive enough to improve for that latest run. Midlands National 2nd; shaped as if in need of race on return; type to resume improvement.

It could pay to stick with the progressive staying chaser ASK BREWSTER. The impressive winner over 3m4f at Cheltenham in April, Evan Williams' charge returned to action with a victory at Chepstow in October and another good effort looks assured. This longer trip holds no fears for Invincible Nao, who scored over 2m4f here last month, while Midlands National runner-up Tanganyika makes more appeal than O'Connell and Hung Jury, despite carrying top weight.

Competitive. TANGANYIKA should have blown away the cobwebs with his Cheltenham run and O'Connell shaped well on his return.

8th	6 8th (6) (20/1 +9%) Token Gesture		20 20/1(+9%)																															(6) Token Gesture 20/1, Ran to form but didn't quite stay the trip when beaten 2l off 67 over 9f here last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective at 7f on this surface; drop in trip looks a positive. Hasn't built on Kempton win last autumn; needs to find more for first-time cheekpieces.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/2 +0%) The Caribbean		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(9) The Caribbean 9/2, Raced wide but did well considering when beaten a neck off 62 here last time. Effective at 6f or 7f and adaptable regarding conditions. Respected despite a 3lb rise. Went close to snapping losing run over C&D last time but put back up 3lb for his troubles.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -178%) Ten Club		25 25/1(-178%)																															(12) Ten Club 25/1, Won by 1 1/4l off 58 at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Bit keen and wide when below form last time. Effective at 6f or 7f on this surface and in fair form before latest effort. Near miss over C&D before Lingfield win last month; held back at Lingfield since, though.
11th	5 11th (5) (18/1 -50%) Dragon God		18 18/1(-50%)																															(5) Dragon God 18/1, Ran to form up in trip when beaten 6l in an 8f novice at Windsor last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 7f or 8f on this surface and drops in trip for handicap debut. Signs of ability and unexposed now handicapping after wind op; also tongue-tied first time.
8	8 |RR| (8) (12/1 +33%) Diddy Man		12 12/1(+33%)																															(8) Diddy Man 12/1, Never competitive and again well below form in a recent handicap here. Effective at 7f or 8f on this surface, though current mark may still be a bit high. C&D win in April but refused to race on turf in August and never going back here since.

THE CARIBBEAN bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over track and trip in October and, despite having a 3lb higher mark to contend with, he could be the one to beat. Straight A occupied the runner-up berth here last month and his chance is there for all to see. Of the remainder, Dapper Gee Gee makes the most appeal.

A good Wolverhampton record earns HAVANA SKY a narrow vote over last weekend's C&D runner-up Straight A.

Effective at 8f and proven on all-weather; holds a good chance despite this drop in trip. Debut effort (1m, AW) much more promising than the bare figures suggest; likely improver.
4	8 4th (8) (11/8 +54%) Galileo Charm		1.375 11/8(+54%)																															(8) Galileo Charm 11/8, Improved when tried in cheekpieces, finishing second beaten 1/2l in a novice at Lingfield last time. Blinkers go on for the first time; effective at 7f on all-weather and capable of better again. 2nd in two of her three starts; sets the standard; new headgear enlisted.
5th	10 5th (10) (50/1 -79%) Sweet Mabel		50 50/1(-79%)																															(10) Sweet Mabel 50/1, Made no impression after a slow start when beaten 7l in a novice at Southwell on debut.

Second foal of a 6f winner (including AW; RPR 83); rare 2yo runner for the stable.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 +50%) Go For Gold		50 50/1(+50%)																															(3) Go For Gold 50/1, Showed no improvement on debut when finishing down the field in a maiden over 8f at Kempton most recently. Bred for 8f and further; type to fare better once handicapping. Big prices and well beaten in two 1m runs this autumn; hard to recommend.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -140%) Euphonia		8 8/1(-140%)																															(2) Euphonia 8/1, Took a step back from a fair debut when beaten 5l in a novice over 6f at Kempton last time. The trainer is in form and she's effective at 6f; needs to bounce back when upped in trip. Promise on debut but beaten at short odds on AW four months later (both 6f); unexposed.

Beckon showed ability when fourth over a mile on her introduction at Kempton and shouldn't have any problems dropping a furlong in trip. Hamdania has Rossa Ryan booked on debut and warrants a market check, but it may pay to side with GALILEO CHARM. Runner-up on two of her three starts, Marco Botti's filly now sports first-time blinkers which could eke out the improvement required to shed her maiden tag.

Galileo Charm looks booked for another prominent showing but the once-raced BECKON may progress past her.

5th	4 5th (4) (80/1 -567%) Manbearpig		80 80/1(-567%)																															(4) Manbearpig 80/1, Moderate debut when beaten 6 1/4l in a novice over 8f at Newcastle; closely related to a useful sprinter and not certain to appreciate the step up in trip. Well-held fifth on recent Newcastle debut and he's probably one for further down the line.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 +18%) Wedonttellthetruth		33 33/1(+18%)																															(5) Wedonttellthetruth 33/1, 30 Jan; 200,000 euros Camelot gelding; half-brother to Changingoftheguard, high-class at 12f; dam smart from 7f to 8f; makes some appeal on breeding but stable not known for winning newcomers. 200,000euros yearling; plenty to like on paper and he needs watching in market on debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -65%) Joyful Lawyer		33 33/1(-65%)																															(3) Joyful Lawyer 33/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a novice over 8f at Newcastle on only start; dam a 5-8f winner; likely to show improvement for top 2yo yard. Always behind at Newcastle last week and can only be watched after that low-key start.

Winless in three appearances, Archers Bay might be flattered by an official rating of 88 and, for that reason, AFFETTUOSO gets the vote. Roger Varian's colt finished last of five on debut at Doncaster but could prove a different proposition up in trip because he possesses plenty of stamina in his pedigree. With that experience under his belt, it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward. Koala Rose cost 110,000 euros as a yearling and is one to watch in the betting market.

Preference is for the ex-Irish ARCHERS BAY, who sets a good standard and is open to more progress for his new yard.

7th	2 7th (2) (15/2 +32%) Desiderata		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(2) Desiderata 15/2, Below form tried in a hood when comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Southwell last time; effective up to 10f, acts on AW; could fare better this time. 66-1 win here in January (9.5f); absent since April; trip likely to be on the sharp side.
8th	9 8th (9) (18/1 -112%) Penny Ghent		18 18/1(-112%)																															(9) Penny Ghent 18/1, Again below a winning level when beaten 4l off 47 over 8f at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; needs more. 23-race maiden; comes here in fair form but others are more persuasive for win purposes.

R P Mcmurphy will be winning soon off his current mark on the evidence of his recent placed efforts at Southwell, but a chance is taken on QUICK AWAY. The latter won a couple of classified races over C&D at the start of the year and winning partner Rossa Ryan is back on board for her reappearance. Penny Ghent and Saved Lizzie also warrant respect.

Bona Verba could be invigorated by a visor but R P MCMURPHY has run well in both his handicaps and remains capable of better.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -25%) Tribal Wisdom		5 5/1(-25%)																															(8) Tribal Wisdom 5/1, Improved when winning a handicap by 1/2l off 76 here last time. Usually held up, suited by 8f to 10f and best on a sound surface. Consistent and respected despite a 2lb rise. Won two of last three starts; makes plenty of appeal as a conspicuously in-form candidate.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +29%) Shihoku		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Shihoku 5/1, Below form when well beaten in a handicap over 11f at Kempton last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on the all-weather. Needs more off this mark. Won French maiden (9.5f, AW) in February; has not matched that form in his five runs since.

Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on a sound surface. A threat off this mark. Second to Tribal Wisdom over C&D 11 days ago, having to wait before he could make his bid.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +23%) Borgi		5 5/1(+23%)																															(4) Borgi 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 82 over 8f at Southwell last time. The trainer is in form and he is suited by 8f, with his form mainly on all-weather. Running consistently. Last win was in July 2024 but he's not been far away in recent outings; place squeak.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +0%) Zryan		3 3/1(+0%)																															(2) Zryan 3/1, Ran to his best when beaten a short-head off 82 here last time. Effective over 8f to 9f and acts on soft, good and all-weather surfaces. Up 2lb but respected. Went close in two of his five starts in Britain, short-headed over C&D on latest.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 +36%) Farasi Lane		16 16/1(+36%)																															(7) Farasi Lane 16/1, May have needed his first run since the summer when beaten 9l in a handicap over 8f at Southwell last time. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on the all-weather. Should come on for the run. Off four months before well held at Southwell two weeks ago and perhaps needed that run.
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 +54%) Mr Baloo		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(1) Mr Baloo 13/2, Bit below form when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and suited by a sound surface, with best form on the all-weather. Needs more than shown of late. Four AW wins early this year; however, no impact in his four races this autumn.
8th	11 8th (11) (28/1 -40%) Giant		28 28/1(-40%)																															(11) Giant 28/1, Lacked pace to get involved when beaten 4 1/4l in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective from 6f to 8f and suited by the all-weather. On a fair mark and the step back up in trip should help. Slow starts hindered him over 6f on last two outings; worth a second look back up in trip.
9th	10 9th (10) (16/1 +27%) Rajapour		16 16/1(+27%)																															(10) Rajapour 16/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 6l in an 8f handicap at Southwell last time. Effective around 8f and acts on heavy, good and all-weather surfaces. Needs to bounce back. Close up three times this autumn (once on Southwell Tapeta) but has fared less well since.
10th	6 10th (6) (33/1 -106%) Cephalus		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Cephalus 33/1, Down in grade and produced his best form since the summer when winning a seller at Newcastle over 8f by a head last time. Suited by 8f and acts best on the all-weather. Needs more back in a handicap for a new yard. 11-30 on AW, latest win in a seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; has since left the Moores.
11th	3 11th (3) (50/1 -52%) Kolsai		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) Kolsai 50/1, Well below his old level on first run back from Hong Kong when beaten 8l in a 7f Kempton handicap last time. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Might still be too high in the weights with plenty to prove. Useful in his youth; struggled in Hong Kong last year and last of 14 on debut for new yard.

Tribal Wisdom arrives in fine fettle having scored at Southwell three starts ago and then again over C&D last time. Borgi is usually in the mix at this level and could have a say in proceedings, but preference is for ZRYAN. David O'Meara's charge went agonisingly close when runner-up in a more competitive contest here last month and the son of Night Of Thunder could prove the one to beat with a similar effort.

Last Tuesday's C&D handicap won by TRIBAL WISDOM from Hitched may hold the key. Zryan and Giant are next on the list.

Fair fourth on Southwell yard debut but tailed off over 1m6f here since.

Effective at 2m over hurdles and acts on good ground. A maiden under both codes and looks up against it. No promise in two runs (Flat/hurdle) for this yard; could only consider if backed.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +20%) Prince Hector		8 8/1(+20%)																															(7) Prince Hector 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 6l in a 2m handicap at Southwell last time.

Has a top course jockey booked. Effective over 12-16f and acts on all-weather. Consistent at a modest level but on a losing run. Only sixth at Lingfield on Tuesday, extending losing run to 24.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -56%) Yurinov		14 14/1(-56%)																															(10) Yurinov 14/1, Ran to a poor recent level when beaten 3l off 45 over 12f at Newcastle last time. Effective over 12-14f and acts on all-weather. Steps back up in trip. Latest 12.5f Newcastle fourth was bit better but needs to build on it.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 +0%) Man Of Riddles		33 33/1(+0%)																															(6) Man Of Riddles 33/1, Again ran to a moderate level and needed the run when well beaten in a 2m handicap at Southwell last time.

10th	5 10th (5) (7/2 +22%) Doddington Guy		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(5) Doddington Guy 7/2, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 1m6f at Southwell last time.

BILLY BATHGATE will likely prove competitive having won over a similar distance at Newcastle in September and he finished runner-up in an amateur riders' race at Southwell 10 days ago. He had Zooks back in third on that occasion, though the latter may finish closer this time with Billy Loughnane taking over the reins, while Doddington Guy has more scope than most and this longer trip could suit.

In a race for which few arrive with compelling claims last week's Southwell runner-up BILLY BATHGATE is taken to resume winning ways.

Effective from 8-12f and acts on all-weather; may do better still. Improved for middle distances/handicaps, winning well over C&D; strong claims up 5lb.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -14%) Damascus Steel		16 16/1(-14%)																															(4) Damascus Steel 16/1, Raced a bit wide but ran to form when beaten 2l off 64 at Kempton last time. Effective at 12f and acts on all-weather; much more like it latest. Five wins for Ed Dunlop; second run for new trainer was promising; one to consider.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -69%) Different Tone		11 11/1(-69%)																															(6) Different Tone 11/1, Bit keen and didn't stay when upped in trip, beaten 4l off 63 over 2m at Newcastle last time. Effective from 12-14f, not proven at further, acts on all-weather; interesting dropped in trip. Absent for nearly two years prior to October's stable debut; better run last time; chance.
4	2 4th (2) (5/2 +44%) Educate		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(2) Educate 5/2, Ran to form when up markedly in trip, beaten a head off 62 over 2m at Newcastle last time. Top course jockey booked; suited by 10-16f and acts on all-weather; respected now dropped in trip. Runner-up all three runs for new yard; up in the weights but can remain competitive.
5th	3 5th (3) (25/1 -257%) Oman		25 25/1(-257%)																															(3) Oman 25/1, Returned to form having tumbled in the weights when second, beaten 5l in a 9f handicap here last time. Trained by a leading course handler; effective from 8-12f and acts on all-weather; could build on that revival up in trip. Second over an inadequate trip here six weeks ago; dangerous mark back up at 1m4f.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -122%) Three Yorkshiremen		10 10/1(-122%)																															(1) Three Yorkshiremen 10/1, Well placed and won easily in his best form since summer when landing a handicap by 8 1/2l off 55 here last time. Effective from 9-12f and acts on all-weather; a 10lb rise asks more. Wide-margin C&D win last month; 10lb rise in a better race could find him out.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -65%) Busby		66 66/1(-65%)																															(10) Busby 66/1, Again below form when beaten 10l in a 10f handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective from 9-12f and acts well on all-weather; a big bounce back needed. Well beaten in two runs back from a summer break and this veteran faces a stiff task.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -25%) Rubellite		20 20/1(-25%)																															(8) Rubellite 20/1, Below form down in trip when beaten 7l in a 10f handicap at Newcastle last time. In good form prior; effective from 11-16f and acts on all-weather; longer trip should help. C&D win in September; two good runs followed and lesser effort last time was 1m2f.
9th	12 9th (12) (40/1 -150%) Havachoc		40 40/1(-150%)																															(12) Havachoc 40/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 49 at Newcastle last time. Trainer in form; effective from 10-14f and acts on all-weather; more consistent since his wind operation. Best run for this yard when 3rd at Newcastle 12 days ago; this is a stronger race though.
10th	9 10th (9) (9/1 -20%) Hackney Diamonds		9 9/1(-20%)																															(9) Hackney Diamonds 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 56 here last time. Effective from 7-12f and acts on all-weather; finding her form and should go well. Second to So Alex over C&D last week; 5lb better off but not so progressive.
11th	7 11th (7) (66/1 -100%) Prince Ali		66 66/1(-100%)																															(7) Prince Ali 66/1, Bit keen and didn't get home when fourth, beaten 10l in a handicap here last time.

THREE YORKSHIREMEN was eased down to win over C&D last month and should have too much for these rivals if he arrives in the same form. So Alex also won over track and trip latest and is interesting given his unexposed profile, so is put forward as the main danger. Of the others, keep a close eye on Hackney Diamonds.

It's a warm race but SO ALEX (nap) looks an upwardly mobile 3yo and he can follow up last week's C&D success. Oman is next best.

1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +40%) Profit Street		3 3/1(+40%)																															(5) Profit Street 3/1, Too keen tried in a visor and remained below his spring best when beaten 3l off 52 over 7f here last time. Effective at 6/7f on the all-weather; has been a bit below his best lately. Beaten favourite last two runs; should be well treated but needs to raise his game a notch.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +43%) Woodhay Whisper		2 2/1(+43%)																															(1) Woodhay Whisper 2/1, Scored by a neck off 55 here on her penultimate start; too keen but ran to form last time. The trainer is in form, she is effective at 5/6f and handles the all-weather; respected once more. Comes here in top form and should make another bold bid despite her big weight.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -180%) Gilt Edge		14 14/1(-180%)																															(2) Gilt Edge 14/1, Back to form for her first win of 2025 when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 51 here last time. Suited by 6/7f and handles the all-weather; should be competitive despite a 4lb rise. Comfortable C&D win in October; a 4lb rise still leaves her feasibly weighted.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -11%) Piperstown		10 10/1(-11%)																															(7) Piperstown 10/1, Still below his spring best when beaten 5 1/4l in a 5f handicap at Southwell last time. Has a wide draw and runs after a short break; effective at 5/6f on the all-weather but poor of late. Four AW wins last winter; good mark but has not fired after his summer break.
5th	8 5th (8) (18/1 -80%) Under Curfew		18 18/1(-80%)																															(8) Under Curfew 18/1, Ran to his recent level when beaten a length off 47 here last time. Trained by a top course trainer; suited by 5/6f, stays 7f and acts on the all-weather; a touch erratic but capable. Having his 100th run; close up in fourth here 11 days ago; in the thick of it again.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +14%) Rogue Thunder		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Rogue Thunder 12/1, Posted his best run since spring when beaten 2 1/4l off 45 here last time. Usually held up; effective at 6/7f and handles the all-weather; interesting after that recent revival. In good form last winter; promising effort over C&D 11 days ago; can blow the start.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 -60%) Roman Emperor		8 8/1(-60%)																															(3) Roman Emperor 8/1, Well backed and ran to handicap form when beaten 3l off 55 at Lingfield last time. Returning from a break; effective at 6/7f and handles the all-weather; needs more from this mark. Turf win in June; absent since a lesser run one month later; promising 7lb claimer booked.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 +9%) Sisters In The Sky		20 20/1(+9%)																															(10) Sisters In The Sky 20/1, Made late gains off a steady pace when beaten 3l off 46 here last time. Has a wide draw; effective at 5/6f and handles the all-weather; a Bath regular who could fare better this time. C&D winner on a lowly mark; it's likely he will need the pace to collapse if he is to win.
9th	6 9th (6) (5/1 +50%) Triple Charged		5 5/1(+50%)																															(6) Triple Charged 5/1, Produced a poor effort when well beaten in a handicap at Chepstow latest. Effective at 5/6f and handles the all-weather; a regressive maiden. 0-15 but big chance on last winter's best; intriguing contender starting out for new yard.
10th	12 10th (12) (80/1 -400%) Dequinto		80 80/1(-400%)																															(12) Dequinto 80/1, Well below form back down in trip when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Brighton last time. From a top course trainer; off a long absence with a wide draw; effective at 6/7f on the all-weather but needs more. Returns from long absence and this exposed maiden looks opposable from the widest stall.
11th	4 11th (4) (100/1 -203%) Isla Bella		100 100/1(-203%)																															(4) Isla Bella 100/1, Needed the run back from an absence after a wind operation when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time. This is her second run after a wind op; effective at 6f on the all-weather but still hard to fancy. Low-key stable debut; down in grade but comes with risks attached; visor now added.
12th	11 12th (11) (80/1 -142%) Symbol Of Hope		80 80/1(-142%)																															(11) Symbol Of Hope 80/1, Found little and again ran well below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5/6f and handles the all-weather; out of form and hard to fancy. Struggled in 2025 but last two runs haven't been devoid of hope; betting can guide.

Gilt Edge was back to form last time out when scoring over C&D and she should be in the mix again. However, WOODHAY WHISPER has the bit between her teeth at the moment and can continue her good run following a neck defeat here last week. Those looking for a bit of each-way value should consider Profit Street and Under Curfew.

Woodhay Whisper looks solid to go well but TRIPLE CHARGED starts out for the impressive Faye Bramley off a good mark.

Lightly raced 3yo; well held in his two handicaps but this is an ease in grade.

Placed over 5f on her last two starts; return to 6f can help; each-way shout once again.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/8 +25%) Havana Club		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(1) Havana Club 15/8, Travelled well and produced his best form since the spring when landing a handicap by a length off 52 over 7f here last time; suited by 7-8f and consistent; drop in trip should be fine. Easy win over 7f here on Monday; needs more under a penalty but still a strong contender.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 +24%) Sultan Of Oj		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Sultan Of Oj 25/1, Wide trip and again below form when beaten 7l in a handicap over 5f here last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 5-6f but unproven on this surface; inconsistent maiden. 11-race maiden with an inconsistent profile; drawn widest back up to 6f; new tongue-tie.

C&D hat-trick in January; quiet this autumn but blinkers are added and revival is possible.

Havana Club won well here over 7f on Monday but isn't certain to back that performance up over a furlong shorter and with a 6lb penalty. With that in mind, I CAN IMAGINE could be the one as she shaped as though the extra furlong would really suit when finishing a never-nearer third over the minimum trip here on the same card earlier this week. Call Glory completes the shortlist.

I Can Imagine and Call Glory (second choice) can feature but HAVANA CLUB can defy a penalty and follow up Monday's 7f win here.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
