2 2nd (9) (22/1 +33%) Brides Hill	22/1(+33%)	(9) Brides Hill 22/1, Promising sort. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable third of 11 in novice chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft, 4/1) 19 days ago. Should progress.

4 4th (5) (6/1 +20%) Mars Harper	6/1(+20%)	(5) Mars Harper 6/1, Useful chaser. Creditable 9 lengths second of 6 to Midnight Run in Craddockstown Novices' Chase (5/1) at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, barely adequate test. Upped in trip.

12:15 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (13) (9/1 +18%) Regal Renaissance	9/1(+18%)	(13) Regal Renaissance 9/1, Caught the eye on second run over hurdles here (2m) but failed to build on that promise making a quick switch to handicaps at Sedgefield 18 days ago, looking awkward (did lose a shoe).
2 2nd (2) (12/1 -167%) Burrows Park	12/1(-167%)	(2) Burrows Park 12/1, One-time useful hurdler (won this in 2018) who produced his best effort for a while when landing handicap at Chepstow on final start last season. No impact again over fences on return and better back in this sphere. Lots to like.
3 3rd (3) (8/1 -23%) Breaking Waves	8/1(-23%)	(3) Breaking Waves 8/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Southwell in September and has remained in form, though found little at Lingfield a fortnight ago.
4 4th (6) (40/1 -21%) Ferrobin	40/1(-21%)	(6) Ferrobin 40/1, Took a similar event here last year but went backwards from that and tricky to fancy on first run for 4 months in re-fitted tongue tie (also had wind op).
5th 5th (9) (2.75/1 +69%) Ballycamus	2.75/1(+69%)	(9) Ballycamus 2.75/1, Point winner who made a successful handicap hurdle debut over this trip at Hereford in March. Still very much in the mix when a bad error did for him late on at Fontwell next time and he could have more to offer this winter.
6th 6th (7) (4/1 +11%) Hasty Parisian	4/1(+11%)	(7) Hasty Parisian 4/1, Sandown juvenile handicap hurdle winner who was back to form there 7 weeks ago. This longer trip should suit and he's one to note.
7th 7th (11) (14/1 +13%) Winds Of Fire	14/1(+13%)	(11) Winds Of Fire 14/1, Won over fences at Newcastle in November 2021 but badly out of sorts at present.
8th 8th (4) (7.5/1 +32%) Getaweapon	7.5/1(+32%)	(4) Getaweapon 7.5/1, Back with a bang when winning handicap at Bangor in October. Brushed aside before 7 lb higher mark came into play at Warwick 3 weeks later. Ran well over C&D as a novice.
9th 9th (12) (66/1 +34%) Moon Over Germany	66/1(+34%)	(12) Moon Over Germany 66/1, Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead at his best. Hasn't shown much under Rules for a while (won charity Flat race earlier this year) and this trip likely to stretch him.
\|F\| \|F\| (5) (4/1 +0%) Haas Boy	4/1(+0%)	(5) Haas Boy 4/1, Fair form in bumpers and made a smooth transition to hurdling when winning 2m maiden at Huntingdon in March. Ran well behind a thriving rival at Sedgefield final start last season and could be on a good mark now handicapping up in trip on return fitted with tongue tie.
\|F\| \|F\| (1) (20/1 -150%) Tune The Chello	20/1(-150%)	(1) Tune The Chello 20/1, Multiple winner for Henry De Bromhead. Won't want for stamina back hurdling for new yard and has gone well fresh.
\|F\| \|F\| (8) (80/1 -100%) Mythical Hero	80/1(-100%)	(8) Mythical Hero 80/1, Won on hurdles debut in Ireland in November 2021 but largely disappointed since, including for this yard in recent months. Tongue tie goes on.
10th 10th (15) (200/1 -100%) Fair To Dream	200/1(-100%)	(15) Fair To Dream 200/1, Has shown precious little since finishing second in a 2m novice handicap chase here in February 2021. Miles out of the handicap again on return.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (50/1 -52%) Talkingthetalk	50/1(-52%)	(10) Talkingthetalk 50/1, From a good family. Third in a Wexford maiden hurdle on the second of 2 outings in Ireland in the summer but made an inauspicious start for her new stable when pulled up at Hereford last month. Up in trip for handicap debut.

12:25 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (12/1 +45%) Churchills Boy	12/1(+45%)	(3) Churchills Boy 12/1, Point bumper winner who created a good impression when landing Chepstow bumper in February. However, was pulled up in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, 14/1) on hurdles bow 5 weeks ago so has a bit to prove now.
2 2nd (8) (6.5/1 +24%) Our Champ	6.5/1(+24%)	(8) Our Champ 6.5/1, Successful sole start in points and showed plenty when finishing close fourth on Rules/bumper debut at Killarney in May. Similar story over hurdles, runner-up in a course novice (15.9f) in October and best not judged too harshly on subsequent Sandown fifth. Type to do better still.
3 3rd (9) (11/1 -120%) Peace Of Rome	11/1(-120%)	(9) Peace Of Rome 11/1, Fair form shown when runner-up in bumpers at Warwick in April and at Lingfield last month. Longer trip promises to suit on that evidence now hurdling and interesting if he's strong in the betting.
4 4th (12) (5.5/1 -120%) Fortuna Ligna	5.5/1(-120%)	(12) Fortuna Ligna 5.5/1, Soldier Of Fortune mare who has progressed with each start in bumpers, latterly when keeping on for third in listed mares' event at Cheltenham (16.4f) last month. Interesting hurdles debutante upped in trip.
5th 5th (10) (2.5/1 +0%) Tea And Chats	2.5/1(+0%)	(10) Tea And Chats 2.5/1, From a good jumps family and, though unplaced in a pair of Irish points during the spring, he was an encouraging second in a C&D novice on Rules debut. Likely improver and he should have a part to play.
6th 6th (5) (2.75/1 +45%) Filanderer	2.75/1(+45%)	(5) Filanderer 2.75/1, Half-brother to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking at Warwick on the final day of 2021. Struggled at listed level next start but definite promise to glean from his midfield hurdles debut effort on return at Ascot (19.2f) 32 days ago. Likely improver.
7th 7th (2) (20/1 +0%) Byron Hill	20/1(+0%)	(2) Byron Hill 20/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 16.5f, back to form when third of 14 at Newbury (2m, heavy) in October. Worth a market check on hurdles bow.
8th 8th (13) (125/1 -25%) Sumatran Tiger	125/1(-25%)	(13) Sumatran Tiger 125/1, Fair form on the Flat in Jersey but she's pitched into a competitive-looking maiden for this hurdles debut.
9th 9th (7) (18/1 +10%) Invictus De Brion	18/1(+10%)	(7) Invictus De Brion 18/1, Is from quite a good family and confirmed debut promise when landing 4-runner course bumper in September. Made a disappointing start over hurdles at Kelso 6 weeks ago so needs to leave that effort well behind.
\|F\| \|F\| (1) (18/1 +45%) Abingworth	18/1(+45%)	(1) Abingworth 18/1, Promise when second on first of 3 starts in bumpers last winter and similarly offered a bit both starts over hurdles this winter, fourth of 11 in a Leicester maiden (15.5f) 2 weeks ago. Handicaps likely to be more his bag.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (100/1 -52%) Endersen	100/1(-52%)	(4) Endersen 100/1, £17,000 5-y-o, Ask gelding. Maiden Irish pointer who was probably flattered when sixth of 8 in bumper (33/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good) just over 4 weeks ago. Tough to warm to now hurdling.

\|F\| \|F\| (4) (10/1 -11%) Shes Some Doll	10/1(-11%)	(4) Shes Some Doll 10/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 13-runner claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good, 11/4) 169 days ago, pushed out. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell.
\|F\| \|F\| (13) (11/1 +21%) Johanna Yeats	11/1(+21%)	(13) Johanna Yeats 11/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Modest winner at 18f over hurdles. First run since leaving John J. Walsh when pulled up in handicap chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft, 14/1) 19 days ago, pulled up straight.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (8.5/1 +15%) Georgi Girl	8.5/1(+15%)	(3) Georgi Girl 8.5/1, Getaway filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Ballybolley, stayed 3m, and fair hurdler Meitheamh, stayed 2½m. Dam bumper maiden who ran once over hurdles. Makes appeal on paper and must enter calculations.
2 2nd (5) (6/1 -50%) Jaminska	6/1(-50%)	(5) Jaminska 6/1, Manatee filly who shaped well when second in junior bumper at Huntingdon on last month's debut and is very much bred for jumping. Interesting.
3 3rd (4) (8/1 +11%) Imperial Jade	8/1(+11%)	(4) Imperial Jade 8/1, Offered something to work on when third of 12 in bumper at Doncaster (16.6f, good) on NH debut 24 days ago. May step up on that now sent hurdling.
4 4th (9) (33/1 -267%) Ygritte	33/1(-267%)	(9) Ygritte 33/1, Showed a bit on her hurdling debut at Wetherby but lacks scope and couldn't make the most of her experience at Fakenham last time.
5th 5th (2) (25/1 -25%) Damask	25/1(-25%)	(2) Damask 25/1, Walzertakt filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Chance A Tune, stays 2½m, and French chaser Mister Happy. Market should offer up some clues.
6th 6th (8) (9/1 +0%) Petite Souris	9/1(+0%)	(8) Petite Souris 9/1, Masked Marvel filly who shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth of 10 in junior bumper at Huntingdon on debut 42 days ago. Makes a quick switch to hurdling and entitled to do better.
7th 7th (1) (28/1 -300%) Citizen Jane	28/1(-300%)	(1) Citizen Jane 28/1, Showed ability when second of 4 in juvenile event (9/4) at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago, running on. That form probably isn't worth a great deal but she may improve.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (1.2/1 +31%) Jina	1.2/1(+31%)	(6) Jina 1.2/1, £16,000 3-y-o, Wings of Eagles filly. Dam, fair French hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (2m-21f winner) Jim and useful French hurdler/fairly useful 19f chase winner Mesange Royale. Trainer's newcomers command respect.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (6.5/1 +35%) Mollycoddled	6.5/1(+35%)	(7) Mollycoddled 6.5/1, Dartmouth filly. Dam (c92/h96), 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m), sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (2¼m-3¼m winner) Oscar Time. Requires a market check.

1 1st (2) (4/1 +20%) Old Painless	4/1(+20%)	(2) Old Painless 4/1, Winning pointer who has run to a fair level over hurdles and remains open to improvement, especially now sent chasing for handicap debut.
2 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +36%) Shaw's Cross	4.5/1(+36%)	(7) Shaw's Cross 4.5/1, Built on encouraging return over hurdles when good second to Walk In The Wild in 2m Lingfield handicap chase last month, keeping on well. Suspect that one may have his measure again though. Engaged 3.30 Lingfield Monday.
3 3rd (1) (2.5/1 +55%) Art Of Illusion	2.5/1(+55%)	(1) Art Of Illusion 2.5/1, Off the mark first time up over fences in thin staying novice handicap here in October and good third at Lingfield (form boosted) next time. Jumped left at Huntingdon 16 days ago and could be worth another chance.
4 4th (5) (1.88/1 -36%) Walk In The Wild	1.88/1(-36%)	(5) Walk In The Wild 1.88/1, Big improver sent chasing for new yard, winning Lingfield handicaps over this trip and 2m last month, ridden positively and closed down only really when the race was in safe keeping 26 days ago. More to come and solid chance in hat-trick bid. Engaged 2.30 Lingfield Monday.
\|F\| \|F\| (4) (11/1 -57%) Aki Bomaye	11/1(-57%)	(4) Aki Bomaye 11/1, Maiden who made an encouraging start over fences at Worcester a year ago. Hasn't built on that, however. Blinkers go on.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (50/1 +24%) Milton	50/1(+24%)	(8) Milton 50/1, Poor maiden, not beaten too far but still well held at Huntingdon when last seen. Could only be fancied if subject of market support starting out for new trainer.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (3.5/1 +13%) Bobhopeornohope	3.5/1(+13%)	(1) Bobhopeornohope 3.5/1, Improved switch to chasing last term, scoring at Market Rasen (21.4f) on Boxing Day prior to going again over C&D in February. Placed both starts since, including when third back from 8 months off at Ascot (23.8f) 32 days ago. Possibilities.
2 2nd (11) (4.5/1 +40%) Volcano	4.5/1(+40%)	(11) Volcano 4.5/1, Warwick winner in March and comfortably posted best effort since when third over extended 25f here 3 weeks ago, notably travelling and jumping fluently for a long way. Not underestimated despite operating from out of the weights.
3 3rd (5) (7/1 -17%) Guy	7/1(-17%)	(5) Guy 7/1, Fairly useful chaser who has frustratingly finished runner-up on 7 of his last 8 starts over fences, including on return to action at Market Rasen (21.4f) in October. Cheekpieces go on now.
4 4th (3) (3/1 +50%) Frenchy Du Large	3/1(+50%)	(3) Frenchy Du Large 3/1, Won back-to-back 2½m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Chepstow around the turn of last year. Well backed on return but he again failed to complete when falling at the fourth on return at Lingfield 5 weeks ago. Still, it remains pretty early days in this sphere at least.
5th 5th (4) (18/1 -50%) Diablo De Rouhet	18/1(-50%)	(4) Diablo De Rouhet 18/1, Developed into useful chaser for this yard in 2019. Proved he retains ability when third of 7 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) in July but not in same form subsequently, pulled up in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury 24 days ago. This less demanding at least.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (9) (6.5/1 +35%) Not Available	6.5/1(+35%)	(9) Not Available 6.5/1, Left Henry de Bromhead and began life for his current yard in fine form, winning back-to-back handicaps last November/December. Low-key return in the autumn but more encouraging signs from career-low mark when third at Chepstow (19.5f) 17 days ago. Needs to build on that now.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (10/1 +0%) Keep Rolling	10/1(+0%)	(8) Keep Rolling 10/1, Dual 2m4f winner at Uttoxeter and Hereford last season who wasn't disgraced when 15 lengths third of 7 on return at Lingfield (23.5f) 5 weeks ago. However, he remains 2 lb above last winning mark and others rate stronger for win purposes here.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (12/1 +25%) Red Happy	12/1(+25%)	(7) Red Happy 12/1, French import who landed a sixth win since March when seeing off 3 rivals at Exeter in October. Struggled since, however.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (28/1 -12%) Boughtbeforelunch	28/1(-12%)	(10) Boughtbeforelunch 28/1, Put in an assured round of jumping when resuming winning ways at Leicester (22.7f, soft) in February. Runner-up at Southwell in May but he'll need to leave last month's Warwick run in his wake if he's to figure here.

4 4th (8) (5.5/1 -10%) Typewritten	5.5/1(-10%)	(8) Typewritten 5.5/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.1f, 15/2) 14 days ago. It's not hard to envisage this filly playing a part in the finish.
5th 5th (9) (4.5/1 -29%) Prince Abu	4.5/1(-29%)	(9) Prince Abu 4.5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year, the latest here on penultimate start. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (2/1) 7 days ago and another prominent showing is anticipated.

6th 6th (5) (22/1 +78%) Downsman	22/1(+78%)	(5) Downsman 22/1, Fairly useful on Flat, probably stays 1¾m. Showed a glimmer of aptitude for hurdling at Leicester 19 days ago but backed out of it late and probably won't be of interest this side of handicaps.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (14/1 -65%) Tropez Power	14/1(-65%)	(6) Tropez Power 14/1, Fairly useful handicapper, won twice for Richard Hannon in 2021. Mixed record this year, first run for 110 days for new yard now. Doesn't look well handicapped and others preferred.
2 2nd (1) (8/1 -191%) Alexander James	8/1(-191%)	(1) Alexander James 8/1, C&D winner. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
3 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +55%) Young Fire	4.5/1(+55%)	(5) Young Fire 4.5/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor back on. Dangerously well handicapped if it all comes together again.
4 4th (9) (9/1 +25%) Light Up Our Stars	9/1(+25%)	(9) Light Up Our Stars 9/1, 4 wins from 17 runs this year. 16/5, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. Consistent but this looks tough.
5th 5th (10) (12/1 -33%) Finery	12/1(-33%)	(10) Finery 12/1, Latest win here in October. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 14 days ago, having run of race. Wouldn't dismiss.
6th 6th (3) (100/1 -52%) Mercurius Power	100/1(-52%)	(3) Mercurius Power 100/1, Latest win at Newcastle in September. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when eleventh of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago. Work to do.
7th 7th (4) (7/1 -155%) Jilly Cooper	7/1(-155%)	(4) Jilly Cooper 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 10/3, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, no match for smart prospect. Strong claims back up in trip.
8th 8th (8) (6.5/1 +35%) Love Your Work	6.5/1(+35%)	(8) Love Your Work 6.5/1, 4 wins from 14 runs this year (good record here). Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 34 days ago, slowly away. Will find easier openings.
9th 9th (7) (2.25/1 +63%) Cliffcake	2.25/1(+63%)	(7) Cliffcake 2.25/1, Won 6 of his first 10 starts for this yard (2-2 here over 7f). 16/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 59 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Very interesting back at Southwell.
10th 10th (2) (12/1 +40%) Imperial Command	12/1(+40%)	(2) Imperial Command 12/1, 80/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Form	Odds	Runs
(9) (100/1 -100%) Blazer's Mill	100/1(-100%)	(9) Blazer's Mill 100/1, Went backwards for Olly Murphy after scoring over hurdles in 2020 and no real signs of a revival in 2 starts for present yard.
1 1st (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Jobesgreen Lad	3.33/1(+26%)	(4) Jobesgreen Lad 3.33/1, Raised his game when landing handicap chases over this C&D and at Hereford last winter. All the better for hurdles reappearance spin when adding to his tally back at Hereford (21f) last month and he's high on the shortlist, for all that more will be needed off this 7 lb higher mark.
2 2nd (12) (7.5/1 +17%) Judex Lefou	7.5/1(+17%)	(12) Judex Lefou 7.5/1, Backed at long odds when finally opening his account in 19.2f Exeter handicap chase in February. No impact in 2 runs at around 3m since returning to action in October but his mark is on the slide and dropping back in trip here may help.
3 3rd (13) (6/1 +57%) Family Pot	6/1(+57%)	(13) Family Pot 6/1, Both wins gained in handicap chases here, the latest over C&D on return in October. Below par at Hereford last time and 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights but possibilities all the same if he puts his best foot forward.
4 4th (10) (7.5/1 +38%) Guguss Collonges	7.5/1(+38%)	(10) Guguss Collonges 7.5/1, Bagged a Plumpton handicap chase last December and positive start to this season for new yard when runner-up over hurdles at Stratford. Poor at Lingfield next time, though, and needs to bounce back now returned to this sphere.
5th 5th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Town Parks	8.5/1(-6%)	(2) Town Parks 8.5/1, Largely out of sorts last term and while he's slipped to a potentially handy mark, there haven't been many positives to glean from both efforts this time round.
6th 6th (11) (16/1 +27%) Arcade Attraction	16/1(+27%)	(11) Arcade Attraction 16/1, Fair chaser/hurdler when on-song but he's shown precious little in 2 starts so far this season.
7th 7th (6) (66/1 -32%) Ornua	66/1(-32%)	(6) Ornua 66/1, One-time smart chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but not so good nowadays and efforts since returning from a break/wind op in October have been poor.
\|B\| \|B\| (7) (3/1 -9%) Flann	3/1(-9%)	(7) Flann 3/1, Bumper winner who failed to shine over hurdles back made it second time lucky in this sphere when landing a small-field 20f handicap at Leicester last month. However, up 5 lb and his profile suggests that he's by no means certain to back that up.
\|F\| \|F\| (5) (18/1 -50%) Lots Of Luck	18/1(-50%)	(5) Lots Of Luck 18/1, Went with much more zest when landing a Huntingdon handicap in February but he's not the most consistent and was well held at the same course 14 days later. Opposable back from a 9-month break.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (11/1 +21%) Guillemot	11/1(+21%)	(1) Guillemot 11/1, Scored over hurdles at Ascot in good style following a wind op in February but that was his only completion in his last 5 starts and he now has plenty to prove, particularly in this sphere.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (20/1 +50%) Thirtyfourstitches	20/1(+50%)	(3) Thirtyfourstitches 20/1, Likeable front-runner who was prolific last season, notching his seventh victory with a career-best effort at Market Rasen in April. However, pulled up both starts this time round and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove.
2 2nd (1) (2.75/1 +54%) Le Patron	2.75/1(+54%)	(1) Le Patron 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner in France. Very interesting contender now starting out for the Gary Moore yard, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
3 3rd (10) (11/1 +8%) Storm Hill	11/1(+8%)	(10) Storm Hill 11/1, Left hurdles debut well behind when cosily seeing off 11 rivals from the front in a 2m maiden here in February. Failed to complete on recent Warwick reappearance and he didn't seem to stay over this trip a fortnight later.
4 4th (2) (5/1 +44%) Zestful Hope	5/1(+44%)	(2) Zestful Hope 5/1, Cashed in on a lowly mark when doubling career tally (both at Hereford) a month ago. Up 7 lb but he can remain competitive.
5th 5th (6) (4.5/1 +40%) Baddesley	4.5/1(+40%)	(6) Baddesley 4.5/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt when making virtually all the running in a C&D handicap last month (Super Duper Sam second). 4 lb rise fair enough.
6th 6th (9) (8.5/1 -21%) Ben Bulben	8.5/1(-21%)	(9) Ben Bulben 8.5/1, Not obviously well handicapped on what he achieved in his qualifying runs but he's in very good hands and this trip will suit now handicapping. Tongue tie on.
\|F\| \|F\| (4) (9/1 -13%) Super Duper Sam	9/1(-13%)	(4) Super Duper Sam 9/1, Bumper winner on debut last November and found just one too good on first 2 starts over hurdles at Wincanton and Newbury. Return to that level on the back of a wind op when runner-up on reappearance over C&D last month.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (4/1 -14%) Mountain Leopard	4/1(-14%)	(7) Mountain Leopard 4/1, Bumper winner here in 2019. Hasn't stood much racing since but best effort over hurdles when runner-up back from a long break at Chepstow month ago. Back up in trip.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (9) (4.5/1 -80%) Desque De L'Isle	4.5/1(-80%)	(9) Desque De L'Isle 4.5/1, Left with a simple task when landing 3-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy, 9/4) 29 days ago. This is clearly a much stronger contest but he's well treated.
2 2nd (7) (9/1 +18%) Bun Doran	9/1(+18%)	(7) Bun Doran 9/1, Veteran who didn't seem quite right when pulled up at Aintree on his final outing last term and failed to feature on his return at Newbury 24 days ago. May strip fitter for that, however.
3 3rd (4) (3/1 +25%) The Widdow Maker	3/1(+25%)	(4) The Widdow Maker 3/1, Useful hurdler who landed an Exeter novice (19.2f) on chase debut in February and similar form in defeat thereafter, 15 lengths third in Grade 1 at Aintree final outing. Better for return when second at Newbury 2 weeks ago and not taken lightly back down in trip.
4 4th (1) (9/1 +0%) Prince Escalus	9/1(+0%)	(1) Prince Escalus 9/1, Started 2022 with a pair of victories (both 16f) at Hereford over fences but not seen since disappointing at Newton Abbot in June and has bit to prove.
5th 5th (5) (1.75/1 +36%) Gumball	1.75/1(+36%)	(5) Gumball 1.75/1, Smart hurdler/chaser at his best who shaped encouragingly after 5 months off when second on the Flat at Ascot in September and not disgraced back over fences when fourth to Thyme White in handicap chase there (16.8f, good) following month. Tongue strap back on.
6th 6th (8) (50/1 -100%) Peterborough	50/1(-100%)	(8) Peterborough 50/1, Opened his account for the season in weak 4-runner handicap chase at Worcester (2m) in August. Failed to cash in on a lower hurdles mark a month later and was pulled up at Kempton last time.
\|F\| \|F\| (3) (28/1 -155%) Hatcher	28/1(-155%)	(3) Hatcher 28/1, On a potentially lenient mark but has been pulled up both starts this season (lost action at Doncaster on latest).
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (12/1 -20%) Monsieur Lecoq	12/1(-20%)	(6) Monsieur Lecoq 12/1, Positively ridden and jumped well in main when adding to his tally at Newbury in March but hasn't fired so far this season, only third of 6 back at that track last time.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (80/1 -220%) Us And Them	80/1(-220%)	(2) Us And Them 80/1, Smart handicap chaser at best but proved unreliable for Joseph O'Brien . Failed to complete all 3 starts for this yard and remains opposable.

15:00 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (8) (8.5/1 +66%) Uallrightharry	8.5/1(+66%)	(8) Uallrightharry 8.5/1, Runner-up 4 times last season off higher marks than this but losing run stretches back to October 2019 and his reappearance display was hardly inspiring. Engaged 1.30 Lingfield Monday.
2 2nd (2) (14/1 -56%) Enormouse	14/1(-56%)	(2) Enormouse 14/1, Stepped up on chase debut when landing 11-runner handicap at Chepstow (19.5f) in February. Just a fair effort later that month over the same C&D and absent since, plus he's yet to prove he stays this far.
3 3rd (7) (1.25/1 +17%) Ozzie Man	1.25/1(+17%)	(7) Ozzie Man 1.25/1, Winner of sole start between the flags and made it 2-2 in this sphere when landing a 4-runner Lingfield handicap upped to 23.5f last month. That wasn't much of a race and he's gone up 6 lb but it's still early days and he probably has more to offer.
\|U\| \|U\| (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Poldark Cross	2.5/1(+9%)	(6) Poldark Cross 2.5/1, Point winner and thought yet to strike under Rules, he was twice runner-up in handicap chases off higher marks last term and was in the process of running a big race when exiting 2 out on return at Ffos Las (23.8f). Big player granted a clear round here in the first-time visor.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (9) (8/1 +27%) Tazka	8/1(+27%)	(9) Tazka 8/1, Sole win over fences was registered at Fontwell over 2 years ago but she hit the crossbar twice during the summer and reappearance effort last month can be overlooked. Engaged 1.30 Lingfield Monday.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Mister Murchan	8.5/1(+15%)	(5) Mister Murchan 8.5/1, Has dipped below last winning mark but very lightly-raced in recent times and his reappearance run was tame.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -208%) Grand Turina	20/1(-208%)	(4) Grand Turina 20/1, Landed back-to-back veterans' handicaps at Lingfield and Warwick last December. However, ended 2021/22 campaign on a downer and her record when fresh doesn't augur particularly well ahead of this seasonal reappearance.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement and worth backing if there's strength behind him in the betting.
11th 11th (7) (50/1 -52%) Latest Model	50/1(-52%)	(7) Latest Model 50/1, Below form ninth of 20 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to make a case for.

14th 14th (14) (11/1 -83%) Brehon Star	11/1(-83%)	(14) Brehon Star 11/1, Respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 19 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

15:13 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (8/1 +11%) Hector's Here	8/1(+11%)	(3) Hector's Here 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1) 52 days ago. Continues to slide down the weights but a revival is needed.
2 2nd (11) (11/1 +31%) Oscar Doodle	11/1(+31%)	(11) Oscar Doodle 11/1, C&D winner. Winner here in September. 8/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and each-way chance if able to bounce back.
3 3rd (4) (1.75/1 +7%) Unplugged	1.75/1(+7%)	(4) Unplugged 1.75/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 10/3) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Now tried in a visor and should go close if the new headgear has the desired effect.
4 4th (9) (10/1 +50%) Mister Falsetto	10/1(+50%)	(9) Mister Falsetto 10/1, 25/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) when last seen in July, nearest finish. This step back up in trip won't hurt and he's not without an each-way squeak.
5th 5th (5) (14/1 +30%) Pallas Lord	14/1(+30%)	(5) Pallas Lord 14/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 9/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f) 18 days ago. Up in trip and will probably find a few too good once more.
6th 6th (2) (8.5/1 -13%) Glittering Choice	8.5/1(-13%)	(2) Glittering Choice 8.5/1, Winner at Carlisle in August. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago. Unlikely she will be far away but looks vulnerable for win purposes all the same.
7th 7th (6) (66/1 -725%) Jewel Of Kabeir	66/1(-725%)	(6) Jewel Of Kabeir 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (12f) 22 days ago. Connections now reach for blinkers.
8th 8th (1) (2.75/1 -29%) Cloch Nua	2.75/1(-29%)	(1) Cloch Nua 2.75/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. Respectable second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Another bold show on the cards.
9th 9th (8) (33/1 +18%) Buford	33/1(+18%)	(8) Buford 33/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 40/1) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and, unless the recent wind op precipitates a return to form, he will probably come up short once more.
10th 10th (7) (28/1 -27%) Whispering Winds	28/1(-27%)	(7) Whispering Winds 28/1, First run since leaving Rod Millman when eighth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Fair bit to prove on the back of that low-key display.
11th 11th (10) (100/1 -52%) Lady Hamilton	100/1(-52%)	(10) Lady Hamilton 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, heavy, 100/1) 56 days ago. Significantly down in trip here and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.62/1 -30%) Ceanna	1.62/1(-30%)	(1) Ceanna 1.62/1, Promising sort. Sixth of 12 in minor event (12/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago, not clear run. Open to improvement for top yard (also represented by newcomer Rebecca West) and she's high on the shortlist.
2 2nd (14) (3.33/1 +33%) Too Much	3.33/1(+33%)	(14) Too Much 3.33/1, Promising type. 9/1, fourth of 14 in minor event at this C&D on debut 14 days ago, needing stiffer test. May well do better and should be in the mix.
3 3rd (4) (9/1 +10%) Evenstar	9/1(+10%)	(4) Evenstar 9/1, Foaled April 6. Havana Grey filly. Dam unraced out of useful 1m winner Oh Star, herself daughter of 1000 Guineas winner Sleepytime. Of obvious interest on debut. Worth a second look in the betting.
4 4th (5) (3.5/1 -5%) Impulsive Lady	3.5/1(-5%)	(5) Impulsive Lady 3.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 12 in minor event (14/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago. Probably wouldn't need to improve much on that effort to get in the shake-up here.
5th 5th (7) (20/1 +0%) Lilla Cross	20/1(+0%)	(7) Lilla Cross 20/1, Foaled March 21. 32,000 gns foal, £65,000 yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to 6f-1m winner El Camino. Dam unraced from a very good family. Appealing type on paper and market check essential.
6th 6th (11) (28/1 +15%) Rejoycefilly	28/1(+15%)	(11) Rejoycefilly 28/1, Foaled March 17. 14,000 gns yearling, Ulysses filly. Dam, 7f winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to useful 1m-1¾m winner (stayes 16.5f) Eagle Court out of useful 1¼m winner Classic Remark. She will likely come on for the run.
7th 7th (8) (18/1 +55%) Molly Mischief	18/1(+55%)	(8) Molly Mischief 18/1, Foaled March 25. 10,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f-1m winner Agrimony and 9f winner Strong And Stable. Dam unraced sister to useful 11f-1¾m winner Permit. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers.
8th 8th (13) (20/1 -25%) Tiffany	20/1(-25%)	(13) Tiffany 20/1, Foaled May 2. Farhh filly. Closely related to 1m/8.3f winner Harmonica and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Zest and 1½m winner Amalfi Bay. Interesting to see which way she goes in the betting.
9th 9th (10) (10/1 +9%) Rebecca West	10/1(+9%)	(10) Rebecca West 10/1, Foaled February 8. 10,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly. Dam 7f/1m winner. Ceanna appears to be the stable first-string but this filly is worth a second look in the betting nonetheless.
10th 10th (2) (80/1 +0%) Champagny	80/1(+0%)	(2) Champagny 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 13 in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.
11th 11th (9) (150/1 +25%) Quiet Smile	150/1(+25%)	(9) Quiet Smile 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 12 in minor event (150/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 24 days ago. Readily passed over.
12th 12th (12) (80/1 -21%) Territorial Waters	80/1(-21%)	(12) Territorial Waters 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in minor event (150/1) at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Like stablemate Champagny, her future probably lies in handicaps.
13th 13th (3) (200/1 +0%) Clementyne	200/1(+0%)	(3) Clementyne 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 12 in minor event (200/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 10 days ago, very slowly away. Hard to recommend.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (2/1 +33%) Pembroke	2/1(+33%)	(2) Pembroke 2/1, Impressed as he made a winning bumper debut at Huntingdon back in March, running a little green but still forging clear. All the better for opening hurdles experience when landing 8-runner novice at Wetherby a month ago and fancied to give it a very good go under a penalty.
2 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -125%) Amrons Sage	4.5/1(-125%)	(4) Amrons Sage 4.5/1, Half-brother to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Beware The Bear out of 2m hurdle winner Native Bid. Won sole start in Irish points (Mar 20) and having transferred to a top yard, he showed plenty when runner-up at Warwick last month.
3 3rd (3) (1.38/1 +39%) Western Zephyr	1.38/1(+39%)	(3) Western Zephyr 1.38/1, Easily won sole start in points, then made all in workmanlike fashion on bumper debut at Huntingdon in January. Found company too hot at Aintree in the spring but he looked a useful prospect when making winning hurdles bow over C&D a month ago, responding well. More to come.
4 4th (6) (7.5/1 -25%) Bubble Dubi	7.5/1(-25%)	(6) Bubble Dubi 7.5/1, Promising bumper performer showed ability when chasing home the useful Tahmuras at Chepstow on hurdling debut last month. Failed to build on that when down the field at Ascot 16 days later but remains one to be positive about.
5th 5th (12) (150/1 -200%) Scarpered	150/1(-200%)	(12) Scarpered 150/1, €16,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Mister Hotelier. In top hands but no promise in bumpers 11 months apart.
6th 6th (11) (20/1 -67%) Picks Lad	20/1(-67%)	(11) Picks Lad 20/1, Not bred to be much but overcame inexperience to make a winning bumper debut at Ayr (16f, good) in May, rallying to lead again dying strides. Sold out of Micky Hammond's yard for £60,000 later that month and displayed ability along with greenness sent hurdling at Chepstow.
7th 7th (10) (125/1 -89%) Mount South	125/1(-89%)	(10) Mount South 125/1, Fair form when reaching the frame on all 3 bumpers last season. Should have a future over jumps but left behind in a warm race last month.
8th 8th (13) (40/1 -21%) Zero Tolerance	40/1(-21%)	(13) Zero Tolerance 40/1, Runner-up in a bumper and a point prior to a third-place finish starting out for new yard over hurdles here last month. Work to do with winner Western Zephyr.
9th 9th (1) (14/1 +0%) No Risk With Lou	14/1(+0%)	(1) No Risk With Lou 14/1, £12,000 3-y-o, £20,000 5-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Dam 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to 2¼m hurdle winner Happening. Off mark in points at fourth attempt and needed just one go to do likewise over hurdles, albeit he has left clear by a rival falling, at Southwell last month.
10th 10th (16) (300/1 -50%) Trudiemadlydeeply	300/1(-50%)	(16) Trudiemadlydeeply 300/1, Looks a long-term project.
11th 11th (15) (150/1 -127%) State Of Honor	150/1(-127%)	(15) State Of Honor 150/1, Placed 4 times in Irish bumpers but not at that level switched to hurdling on final start for Ross O'Sullivan in October.
12th 12th (9) (300/1 -200%) Little Pi	300/1(-200%)	(9) Little Pi 300/1, Well held both starts.
13th 13th (5) (250/1 -150%) Black Tonic	250/1(-150%)	(5) Black Tonic 250/1, Out of a winning hurdler but didn't show a great deal in a brace of bumpers.
14th 14th (8) (300/1 -200%) Kalibrate	300/1(-200%)	(8) Kalibrate 300/1, Looks limited. Hood fitted.

3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Duhallow Tommy	5.5/1(+31%)	(3) Duhallow Tommy 5.5/1, Runner-up in a point and made a solid start under Rules when third in a Haydock bumper 7 months ago. Could make his presence felt.
4 4th (6) (9/1 +10%) Goodwin Racing	9/1(+10%)	(6) Goodwin Racing 9/1, Green but made an encouraging start when third of 9 in bumper at Kempton (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 months ago. Claims if he retains ability.
5th 5th (7) (9/1 -170%) He Knows Better	9/1(-170%)	(7) He Knows Better 9/1, Jet Awy gelding who offered something to work on when third in a C&D event first time out. Could step forward from that, so likely to be on the premises again.

2 2nd (12) (7.5/1 +6%) Daafy	7.5/1(+6%)	(12) Daafy 7.5/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 10/1) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs a couple of these to falter.

6th 6th (9) (33/1 -83%) Al Suil Eile	33/1(-83%)	(9) Al Suil Eile 33/1, C&D winner. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 33/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to find a few too good once more.

9th 9th (2) (2/1 -150%) Lord Paramount	2/1(-150%)	(2) Lord Paramount 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/6) 15 days ago, kept up to work. Mark for this handicap debut looks realistic and he's a major player.
10th 10th (8) (50/1 -100%) Thrave	50/1(-100%)	(8) Thrave 50/1, Course winner. Latest win at Kempton in November. 11 lengths thirteenth of 14 to Reclaim Victory in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

14th 14th (11) (150/1 -50%) Straitouttacompton	150/1(-50%)	(11) Straitouttacompton 150/1, Four-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 14 in handicap at this C&D (200/1) 34 days ago and he's hard to warm to at present.

2 2nd (9) (1.2/1 -45%) Megan Moon	1.2/1(-45%)	(9) Megan Moon 1.2/1, Highly promising sort. 12/1 and hooded, fourth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f) on debut 61 days ago, not knocked about. Can be expected to take a signficant step forward here with that experience to draw upon.
3 3rd (3) (16/1 -129%) Mistamac	16/1(-129%)	(3) Mistamac 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, seventh of 9 in minor event at this course (6f) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Shaped fairly well on debut at Catterick 7 months earlier and should have races in him.
