I have been a member of Olbg since September 2009 and must say it's one of the most user friendly sites out there. The fact all tips, comments, stats & performances are recorded and available for inspection it really does mean you have to bring a professional approach. You are judged on what you say and do, so I will do my best to help others along the way in our journey to prise some profit out of those miserly bookies. I am a genuine horse racing enthusiast and have spent (or some might say wasted!) over 30 years as an avid punter and the beauty is I am still learning. This site definitely helps as the information and knowledge of other members available is excellent.....and free. My other hobbies are photography and cricket, I'm the current Skipper of Seveno CC a south London friendly cricket team and we're always looking for new players. I'm also a keen photographer and have captured some great memories especially from Cheltenham and if any photos catch your eye, please get in touch. For me, all roads from about November lead to the greatest sporting event of the year, The Cheltenham Festival and I have been going nearly every year since 1998. The memories, stories, good punts & bad will make a great book one day! I always look for value and hopefully a few juicy punts click on here. I would say horse racing is my game but I do like the odd dabble in the golf, boxing & cricket markets. Enjoy the ride!

Massive eyecatcher last time when staying on all too late at Fairyhouse under a big weight and first time tongue tie. Can go well here and have read that yard think this one is decent. Won her bumper last year beating Mullins' Hello Jean at Fairyhouse and that form worked out ok as plenty of winners emerged from the race. Tackled the likes of Kawambooga and William Munny previously in bumpers and is a half sister to a couple of decent sorts including Nicky Henderson's Brave Eagle who was a listed Chase winner and stayed very well. Looks the EW banker of the day and definitely the one for the forecasts as the Mullins hotpot is well thought of too. Getting 7lb on this ground will help here too.

Dam was a strong stayer and a 3m chase winner so the step up in trip on a stiff track like this should really suit. Has shown ability and chased home the very exciting Harry Derham mare Jackie Hobbs in a bumper last season and that one has taken to hurdles well winning a good race at Newbury on hurdles debut, rated 121 now. Ran well enough on first start for a year in a hot looking Cheltenham bumper and should strip fitter here. Must go well with conditions looking just what the doctor ordered on pedigree. Could be well in here and a strong fancy.

Has always been on my radar ever since finishing second to @olbg horse our very own Picks Lad. Is a strong stayer and is very lightly raced for a 9yo and best runs have been last few. Was strong at the finish here in February and is already a National winner of sorts as won the Lincolnshire version last season at Market Rasen. Finished second in the Eider and off the same mark has to be of interest today. Yard's chasers going well as advertised by the likes of Konfusion & Fat Harry and I really think this fella can land a big one soon. Ran a race full of promise on seasonal debut at the stiff Carlisle staying on well and should be spot on today. Goes well at stiff right handed tracks and relishes heavy ground. Looks a good thing to me with winning course form in the book too. Oh how good could Picks Lad could of been!!! My Nap of the Day.

Demolished Jonbon in the Shloer at Cheltenham on seasonal debut and impressed with the way he jumped out of the soft ground and on that form alone has the beating of Il Etait Temps who won the Celebration Chase here last spring. Grade 1 winning novice on this card last season and had been a horse I've followed since latching on to him early in his career. I think on bad winter ground he should be favourite as this is his time of year yet main rival from Mullins yard has yet to win in December and is better in the spring. Looks the value to me as proven on the track and put up such an eyecatching display last time. Mullins unleashing the big guns now but it feels different this year and Skeltons on a Saturday......he'll do for me! Best yet to come from him and I think if Il Etait Temps makes just one mistake this fella could be out of sight jumping the last.

The EW play of the day for me and with the Skeltons cleaning up these Saturday big pots you bet she will be spot on after a pipe opener this season. Looks on a fair mark and will relish soft ground and though finds it difficult to win is a classy sort. Ran a blinder in the 2024 Grand National and even looked as if might win that at one stage before stamina ebbed away. Difficult to predict and was pulled up behind Mr Vango in a Midlands National but has the ability to win this and should go well for a long way and jumped these fences well the only time she saw them. Lightly raced mare who can go well for in form yard making a statement on Saturdays this season.

Drop in trip is the only worry but the emphasis will be on stamina and he was very brave here last time leading for a long way before being headed and then battling back to win gamely. Up 5lb here but young apprentice got a fine tune out of him last time and won despite a mistake at the last. Relishes Fontwell too so tailor made for these stiff tracks and as long as last month's reappearance hasn't left a mark can go well here as long as he is in touch jumping the last as will power up the hill. Has to improve to beat last year's winner of this in the Skelton's top weight but he looks on a stiff mark to me. Honky Tonk Highway likes to lead so if he takes that role up and makes this a stiff test I fancy my one even more as he looks on a fair mark and comes here after a career best.

But for getting blindsided in the Truimph by the 100-1 skinner would be coming here unbeaten and has to be the play despite short odds. He went on to exact revenge on Poniros in Ireland and made a very impressive chase debut at the similar stiff track Exeter. That form had already been franked by Salver who bolted up here yesterday and I feel we're in for a treat here today. Won on heavy in France and looks sure to go close today. Getting weight from all looks a steal.

Showed a good attitude to win a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time and though best form had been on flatter tracks showed plenty of stamina there so should be okay with this stiff finish. Yard in decent form and they have four cracking chances around the country today and though this looks competitive I think my fancy has less questions to answer than most here. Green Book will surely need this after such a long absence and Supremely West was safely held by my fancy at Cheltenham last time. Four other last time out winners will make life difficult for Kikijo but though up 7lb did beat some good yardsticks in that Class 2 last time and looks a fair sort who'll relish a stiff test. Won on very soft in France and was given plenty of time by new yard who could have a really good day today.

Caught the eye staying on well on decent ground at Exeter on seasonal debut and shaped as if a stiffer test would suit. Will get that here and up just 2lb must be the play. Won on bad ground at Ffos Las last season and was 6th in a mares race at Newbury last December but how good does that race look now as Panic Attack wasn't miles in front of her that day and look what she's done since. With main rival out now looks sure to go close for yard still in good form.

Point to Point winner who made a nice winning bumper debut for yard and with the likes of A Pai De Nom & C'Est Difference winning three times each since, that form looks strong. Has been unbeaten since and handled soft ground and a stiff track at Exeter before winning final bumper start last season at Listed level. Made a very encouraging hurdles and seasonal debut last month at Chepstow beating Kadastral by 12l and I think that horse is more than useful so again the form looks strong. Trainer has stated this is a good one and has so many boxes ticked is going to be hard to beat here. To be fair anyone can win and Hurricane Pat with winning course form is respected but my fancy holds him on a tenuous form line with Crackerjacque and sets the standard with the stiff track here holding no fears.,

I'm hoping Blake runs well as that will be a pointer to this one's chances who caught the eye staying into third the last time seen in a competitive handicap on the level. Yard does well with these dual purpose types and this one run two crackers at Galway in the summer in a matter of days winning once before finishing 4th in competitive races. Can be forgiven poor effort after those back to back efforts and shrewd yard in cracking form with four winners on the bounce from last four sent out. Relishes soft ground and no forlorn hope here despite rise in grade. Jockey going well too and has two nice rides today.

Was a horse I followed last year as looked a very progressive sort who relished a stiff 3m-3m2f and won twice last season. Had a break for some time and is lightly enough raced for his age and did win here over 3m2f a couple of years ago. Will handle the track and the heavy going and is 2lb lower than last win now. Was sent off a well backed favourite for the Eider on last start last season and should strip fitter now for seasonal reappearance. Not one to give up on yet and looks well handicapped to me and given track, trip and ground suits can go well now had a pipe opener.

Was decent on the flat in England for Peter Chapple-Hyam and relished soft ground, winning twice. Finished English career with a good 6th in the Old Rowley Cup just in front of Give It To Me OJ and that one had taken to hurdling like a duck to water and is rated 143 now. Has run well on all starts for Noel Meade and won a fair maiden hurdle last time after getting a flat race in the steward's room before that. Has a touch of speed and relishes soft ground so though up in grade should run well for shrewd yard.

Unexposed sort who looks on a fair mark here. Holds a Welsh National entry and can go well for yard in fair form with they're staying chasers. Caught the eye at Cheltenham staying on strongly the furthest he went and can improve further now getting a marathon trip. Ran well again last time in the Troytown and got going there late on too so again looked as if this trip would suit. Out of an Indian River mare so that pedigree screams plenty of stamina and with a low weight and a top jockey has a fair chance to break maiden tag over fences.

I'll never forget the way this horse bolted up last year here and I was lucky enough to winkle him out and back him and though won again after that romp has been disappointing since. However worth a second look as if recapturing that form of that handicap hurdle win off a 14lb lower mark by a whopping 25 lengths must have a chance. Handles these stiff tracks and relishes heavy ground so must have a chance. Has the top notch DJ onboard whose claim is robbery and he did ride a second for this yard earlier this month in a similar conditional jockey's race. Should strip fitter for seasonal debut and would win this well if back to best.

Has improved for a step up in trip and looks a progressive young staying chaser who can take this race on the way to better things. Given his Newbury form this lightly raced sort may not of looked out of place in the Coral Gold Cup down there in Berkshire itself. Finished last season with a second at Listed level in Ireland and looks thrown in here to my untrained eye. Stamina proven now and in a race that looks distinctly winnable against some exposed sorts I like his chances a lot. Yard in fair form and I've noted Richie McLernon's riding in recent weeks as he's going well too. Big chance.

Would be a proper trends buster being an Irish raider and with stamina to prove but I've long had in mind this one has a big pot in him and is well overpriced. Has been campaigned over hurdles and maybe chase mark has been looked after and he slips in here off a handy mark. I backed him when he won at Cheltenham in January when he ran with the choke home but rattled home under a Bowen masterclass and won despite a horlicks at the last and stamina looked his forte. Has a nice bit of chase course form here too when second in a novice chase over just under 3m last December and that looks better now that the 4th Rock My Way has bolted up in a Berkshire National at Ascot recently. Trainer had a second in this race in 2023 and I'd put this up ew if I could too and I think he can outrun his odds as this looks a proper plan. 9 x 7yo's have win this in the last 20 years too so he's the right age at least!

I was at Sandown last December when this dashing grey was the last leg of a four timer punt for me and would of landed a tidy touch but he never jumped a twig before storming up the hill to be an agonising second. That though marked him down as a Bet365 horse for me who was reincarnation of the owner's legend and one of my all time faves Lacdoudal. He duly obliged and landed me the redemption punt and comes here as a bombproof EW play. Won despite trip being too short on seasonal reappearance and despite stiff mark has improved physically this year. Will relish the long home straight herd and if anywhere near jumping the last will power home and go very close with the re-applied cheekpieces he wore for the first time when winning in the spring at Sandown. Massive chance for me.

Lumped a big weight to win nicely when last seen at Ffos Las beating a subsequent winner and though off a 6lb higher mark today could go well. Another lightly raced sort for the yard and acted around Ffos Las so won't mind this venue either. I'm hoping our very own Viyanni runs a big race but I worry the ground might be just too testing for our fella but that holds no fears for the Murphy inmate who has a fine troupe out today. Coukd be laid out for this like plenty of others from the yard are today and in open race looks on a fair mark. I worry about stable form for Indemnity and the way this one won when we last saw him marks him down as potentially smart. Interesting yard start off here for this lightly raced 7yo and I like his chances with track and going looking ideal for this nice sort.

Is fast becoming another one of my favourites and as I latched onto him early doors he has repaid that faith in bundles. Unbeaten and won the often much maligned Challow in taking fashion at Newbury last season before winning the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival. That race throws up Champion Hurdlers and Hardy Eustace became my favourite ever horse treading the same path this fella is doing. Has the requisite speed and stamina and hurdles slickly too so looks the new kid on the block. Reminds me of Rock On Ruby who was another with the same attributes and this race will tell us if he is a champion hurdler like others including Istabraq and Faugheen who also did the double. The Challow is actually working out okayish and the Skeltons are dominating our Saturdays these days. Stiff track will suit and Harry Skelton sitting motionless for as long as possible is a sight to behold. I think he wins this on the snaff as I haven't seen such a strong traveller with a nice turn of foot since my old hero Hardy Eustace was doing his stuff. The New Dawn for me.

Consistent sort when completing and was unlucky to be brought down when travelling well enough when last seen last season. Was giving lumps of weight to the eventual winner Loverdose so off levels here must be fancied to finish in front of that one. EW player for sure and though fitness had to be taken trust that's the same for many and has gone well fresh before. Returned after a break of 607 days in 2024 to beat Wal Bucks who I really like today too and this lightly raced 8yo can go well today. Soft or heavy ground would not be a worry and looks on a fair mark for seasonal return. Must go well given unexposed profile and fair record when reappearing after breaks.

Progressive sort and only 3lb higher than winning a novice handicap chase at Haydock on soft ground last December and shaped that day as if a test of stamina would suit. Ran ok on seasonal debut when a well fancied favourite at Kelso when fourth to the decent veteran Ashtown Lad. The quickish ground there probably didn't suit and will enjoy any dig in the ground here. This doesn't look the deepest renewal and this unexposed sort can enjoy the step up in trip and run a big race for last year's winning owner of this race JP McManus. Like his chances a lot here.

Won his point to point after failing to finish first two starts and made a pleasing debut for this yard at Carlisle for this yard when bang there at the business end before tiring late on. Sure to strip fitter today and this easier track might suit too. By a Presenting mare so could make up to a 3 miler in time but a cracking EW play in what looks a cracking book of rides for Sean Bowen. Price collapsed as I was putting him up so could be well fancied.

Mainly consistent sort who on last start came from the clouds to win a valuable chase at the track and reeled in the subsequent Paddy Power Gold Cup runner up Vincenzo on the long home straight. That form has also been boosted by the third Saint Segal who is 112 from three runs since and plenty of others. Shapes as if step up in trip will suit and though 6lb higher today looks laid out for this and did win first time up last season so can go well fresh. Has won at Ffos Las and run well at Aintree too so these flat galloping tracks suit but might not want too much rain. Looks to have a cracking chance anyway and another stonewall EW play.

I was at Newbury when this one was a bumper horse making his first steps in the game and twice caught my eye finishing strongly to finish second in two course bumpers. One of those days was atrocious and he showed a good attitude to slog it home in bad ground. Has won up to 2m5f since and as I noted him down as a stayer he should relish this trip even better and we know he likes this course and won't mind the ground. Has gone well fresh and was only just denied first time up last season by the smart Gentleman Bill. Looks a bombproof ew play and I can see him powering home stepping into handicap company. Totally unexposed as a stayer and there seems plenty of stamina in the pedigree as dam is related to some strong stayer. Dam sire Westerner in pedigree may mean the softer the ground the better too.

Impose Toi looks all class and bolted up last time but will do well to hold off last year's winner of this who looks all stamina and ground it out well last year. Similar conditions and though looks a tad deeper renewal than last year's small field affair Sean Bowen will be keen to draw the sting out of his main rival who though stayed well last time may not be the most copper bottomed if it turns into a slog. Made a satisfactory return finishing strongly and though only a head in front of the reopposing Take No Chances might of won a bit easier if jumping the last better. Drift in price s slight worry but it might look massive value as I believe he is the strongest finisher in this today and doesn't have to make the running if getting a strong pace to aim at.

Is better on better ground but has won on heavy so going shouldn't hinder her and showed quality form last season in good company. Finished the season beating the decent Brides Hill and on that form may well of finished second to Dinoblue in the mares chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Flat track should suit and made a nice seasonal debut chasing home the ex-Willie Mullins horse Paggane home in a Listed Chase at Carlisle giving that one 4lbs. Faye Bromley's new import had since won again and my fancy will be happier going left handed again as did jump slightly left last time. Should strip fitter now too and on form has a cracking chance. Looks nailed on a top 3 finish in my opinion.

Second to The New Lion here in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle here last season with Regent's Stroll well held in fourth and finished season with a very good effort in the Alber Bartlett. Regent's Stroll is all over a chaser and can give my fancy a race but Wendigo edges it with fitness and experience over fences in the bank. Chase debut when just denied by Wade Out is top form, that has been franked since and I think Wade Out will win a big pot this season. They pulled miles clear of the third and Wendigo rates a strong bet for me with jockey and trainer bang in form. He looks the most straightforward and track suits so should have the edge on his rivals today..

French import who though on pedigree might not be the classic bred chaser, but is built like one and won nicely on chase debut in a handicap at Aintree. Led a long way out and looked like being swallowed up late home, but to my eye pulled out a bit more when they got on his quarters. Improving sort from inform yard and proved these flat galloping tracks suit up in Liverpool. Decent hurdler and only flops were at the big spring festivals but kept good company and has always been highly thought off. Looks a chaser and has the experience edge over fences with main rival Captain Bellamy. Should strip fitter too for first run of the season and could be one to follow this year and is a strong fancy despite carrying top weight

Ran a blinder on first start of the season, pulling miles clear of the third which was his chase debut and first run after a wind op. Jumped and travelled well there and though beaten by the reopposing Lightning Flash by 4l can turn that form round here. His opponent there has disappointed since where my fancy has won nicely at Huntingdon again jumping well and travelling sweetly. 6lb rise makes life harder but looks a smart sort and I was at Newbury when noting this in a bumper as a future chaser. He has plenty of scope and can continue the progress. This race doesn't look too deep and he can make all here.

Bred to be a 3m chaser so interesting coming back to fences after contesting a competitive Pertemps qualifier at Cheltenham last time over hurdles. Not disgraced there, where the first time hood lit him up a bit and that discarded here. Stayed well over hurdles and is 1/1 over fences so should give a good account jumping the big ones again. Decent ground also wouldn't harm and chase win was franked by the second who has won since and was going okay last time when tipping up too.

Sole career win was on good ground over 2m6f so this step back up in trip looks sure to suit.

Out of a very good mare for the yard who went well around this track and, in fact, was a Grade 1 winner in a mares' race here back in the day. Bred for the job and interesting connections start off here on a belated debut. The only one without a run but well-bred and the yard's only runner, so I'd be surprised if not ready to roll for a yard who are 12-40 at a 30% strike rate in bumpers in Ireland this season.

How good does this one's Aintree Grade 1 win over Grey Dawning last spring now? He proved his stamina for 3m that day too so though this looks a prep for the King George I think he can serve it up to Fact To File here especially if ground is really testing. Has gone well fresh before too and is hard to believe he is only a 7yo as seems to have been around for ever. Can prove that just a stronger finisher here and though was beaten by Fact To File in a match race in 2024 didn't seem right that day and us better away from Leopardstown anyway. A race that will line up all the protagonists for the big pots this season and I fancy Gaelic Warrior to really make the dour stayers struggle as is not devoid of pace himself and can either make all or track Fact To File and prove too strong close home.

By the far the best hurdler in here and though The Big Westerner is feared I feel she'll be better over even further in time. Form is rock solid and beating the likes of Spindleberry over hurdles looks better now as that one is a Listed Chase winner now. Only defeats at Cheltenham in top company and looks a chaser on paper so might have too much class for these and too much toe for main rival. Even money looks a steal.

On the upgrade and though is stepping up in class here comes here on such a roll will be hard to beat against some exposed sorts. Was a good second to Will The Wise at this track in January and that one went on to finish 6th at Cheltenham in the Pertemps final before switching to fences and has since finished 4th in a Troytown. Tenuous links of form I know but this one looks totally progressive and has been winning in the fashion of a horse going places as a staying hurdler.

Won the La Touché Cup with some of these behind and is probably the least exposed in these unique races so is my idea of the winner. Doesn't win nearly as much as he should but is only an 8yo and though seems better on better ground should relish heavy ground according to his pedigree, as is by Mastercraftsman. Was 6th in the Cheltenham Cross Country race last December again ahead of The Goffer and Vanillier so might be the value bet here. Given pipe openers over hurdles and has a good record at Punchestown ax is 1212 from 4 visits here. Proved stays all day in the La Touché and can land this for inform yard.

I was all over this one at Exeter last time out as he attempted to win the Haldon Cup for the second year running but he ran as if he needed the pipe opener as gave way to the two horses who'd had a run. With yard in flying form now, they've nailed 15 winners from 50 runners this month alone he looks sure to run well today. Ascot debut but has good form on stiff right handed tracks and first time cheek pieces are slapped on so hopefully they can eke out a tad more improvement. He's 2lb lower than last time, but only 2lb higher than when winning last year's Haldon Cup beating the tip top Djelo and the first time tongue tie worked the oracle that day. Trip and ground spot on and looks well handicapped to me and on a line through Sans Bruit just could pip Teddy Blue despite that one looking an improver.

Is potentially the best horse in here in my opinion and will be hard to beat in this off level weights with chief rival Haiti Coleurs who though respected still has a bit to find. The Skeltons have been in smashing form this season and have set their stall out to smash the possibility of a Mullins challenge for the trainer's title out of the water by landing the big Saturday pots so I'll say Grey Dawning will be spot on. Second to Royale Pagaille in this last year but that was on his ground and on slightly better going I'm wagering Grey Dawning will hold on this time being a year older too. Tip top novice who can only improve as a chaser this season and I fancy him strongly to have that better bit of pace over this trip than the strong staying Rebecca Curtis horse.

Developed into a high class hurdler last season and went through the grades winning the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham before finding only the high class Lossiemouth too good at Aintree. Getting weight from all gives her every chance despite seasonal debut and this strong travelling mare can get a nice lead from the likes of Crambo and Celtic Dino who like to get on with things. Interesting starts off here and the step up in trip looks sure to suit too and Danny Gilligan gets a fine tune out of this classy sort.

Is a horse I've always liked and hacked up on seasonal reappearance in the manner I always thought was in the locker. Was obviously very well in there off a 9lb lower mark, but has serious potential as a staying hurdler and despite that 9lb hike must be followed here. Not sure this race is even as strong as the one he made his handicap debut in last time and I'm expecting a massive run. Gets on well with Harry Cobden but he is elsewhere so Ben Jones is a very eyecatching booking. Wasn't disgraced in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett last season and I think it's only a matter of time before he's back in graded races. Stays well, travels well and won't mind the ground. Huge chance.

Lightly enough raced for a 9yo and though can be a bit in and out is very decent on his day and starting to look well handicapped. Is 2lb lower than last win and wasn't disgraced on seasonal debut behind Lord Accord and Largy Poet. Sure to strip fitter today in what is a big day for the yard as they send out four good chances today. Will plod around out the back and steam home and hopefully that'll be good enough to hit the frame at least.

I fancy this fella strongly despite the fact he will get outpaced at some stage, but he will relish the step back up in trip. Put in a remarkable performance to win the Arkle last season and powered home off a strong pace so if Il Est Francais sets the right fractions he may well set this up for another strong finish from this likeable sort. Finished last season in the Manifesto at Aintree and would of reeled in Gidleigh Park there in another stride or two behind Impaire Et Passe, so with a bit extra distance here can reverse the places. Goes well fresh and has won around here before too, so I fancy him strongly to reel in Il Est Francais and Gidleigh Park who may well set this race up perfectly for my punt.

Was probably a race too far last season when down the field here in the Grade 1 Stayers Hurdle at the spring festival but had earlier ran a blinder in the Cheltenham version for such a young horse. Has run well the last twice now switched to fences and can take high rank amongst this season's novice chasers. Won well on debut and impressed with his jumping that day and ran well again next time when stepping up into Listed class. Was only run out of it late on by Blizzard Of Oz who'd already shown a good level of form over fences. Sets the standard and can win before a crack at bigger pots.

Moveit Like Minnie had to be respected given form of last run here looks better now Alexei has bolted up in the Greatwood. He may though set this up perfectly for the Skelton horse who travels and finishes races so well. He'll not want to give that one too much rope though on this decent ground as looks like further will suit in time but doesn't look on a bad mark given Grade 2 win at Cheltenham last time was a good effort and strong form. Should be too good for these and Trustintimes could be the one to throw down the final challenge.

Won this race is 2022 and 2023 and despite being a 10yo on a stiff mark you have to think this is his cup final. Lightly enough raced for one of his age and unbeaten over C&D he must go close given record fresh too. Yard in good form and like his chances.

By the far the best hurdler in the field and has the potential to be a smart chaser as had the physique. Win on seasonal debut last season here at Ascot and had the likes of the Champion hurdle winner Golden Ace and this seafon's Grade 2 winner Colonel Mustard behind that day. Was disgraced in the Grade 1 Stayer hurdle at Cheltenham taking on the big boys and is a likeable sort. Probably one race too many at Sandown at the end of last season and can win on chase bow here. Won't be easy as plenty have fair form too but given connections and hurdles form looks a good thing as decent ground will suit too.

Could be the Harry Fry star and flagship horse of the season as has made a really good impression so far. Made debut in that strong Newton Abbot bumper that has worked out well with 8 of the 10 runners as stated earlier all winning bumpers and hurdles races since. Finished the season when 6th in the champion bumper at Cheltenham and had made a fine start over hurdles beating the decent Gaelic Pride this season. That one and the third have both franked the form since with another 2nd and 3rd respectively in a strong Cheltenham maiden hurdle since too. Handled Fontwell so this stiff track should suit and sets the standard as has won readily on most starts.

Obviously Loriko could be anything for the Skeltons who can do no wrong but in the form book my fancy looks sure to go close. Finished 4th in debut in a very strong bumper to Idaho Sun and 8 of the 10 horses in that field have won races since including the Tizzard horse. He has won at Exeter and will handle this similar stiff right handed course. Bumped into another good sort last time in Kingston Queen and sets a high standard. Has proven stamina too and yard are flying with 8 winners from last 20 or so runners and this one is a strong fancy.

Makes debut on this type of surface but made a pleasing enough all weather debut at Southwell last time out. Caught the eye too when just behind Dividend at Royal Ascot and enjoys a big weight pull here. Obviously was again behind that one last time but on turf form can turn the form around and at the prices is big value. Definite EW squeak here and given the prices must be back because if improving for this track is a danger to all.

With a course record of 132 from just three starts including in a marathon slog must go well here given will strip fitter for pipe owner recently. Won in December in 2023 after second start so can think will improve for a spin. Don't forget it was only January this one slogged it out with the very smart Passing Well at Lingfield and beat him a head mikes clear of the third. Stays all day and will live the ground. EW squeak.
