Will come into his own when getting a trip and looks a chaser for the future but this isn't the deepest race bar the stand out odds on jolly and if improving for last fifth place over C&D has an EW squeak. Has bumped into a couple of decent winners in his races so far in the likes of Sinnatra and the 126 rated Kadastral who I like for the Skeltons and is definitely one to keep an eye on. Dam has produced 3 other siblings and they've all won over trips from 2m1f- 3m plus so I'll wager this one will win a race in due course. Probably won't be today but Brendan Powell an eyecatching booking and could stay on well if getting a good pace to aim at.

Fell early on seasonal reappearance but ran well next time at Cork when rallying again once a bit outpaced before fading again close home. That run smacks of one of needing it and if coming on for that has a decent chance here off 3lb lower. Was placed at Listed level last season and did win her sole race on good ground so won't mind drying conditions but has form on soft too so should be fine on any ground. EW player for me as has run well twice before at the track in big field maiden hurdles finishing 4th & 2nd as a younger horse. Must go close of this mark

Only third run for yard and hasn't set the world alight so far but catches my eye on fine pedigree, as is out of a Cyborg mare from Great Pretender sired. Bred to be decent and Cyborg produced so many great horses like Cyfor Malta, Hors La Loi III and Cyborgo and though this one is not one of them could be worth keeping an eye on. Step up trip and first time cheekpieces might help and interesting yard run here as well as saddling the favourite. Dam has produced 3 winners so far and I'll take a chance this one can improve with yard in fair form and always worth noting around here.

A horse I've always kept an eye on as has ability but is not the most consistent. Rewarded my loyalty last time when a good second under another yard apprentice to a stablemate in a 3m handicap chase. I got all excited at one point as looked the most likely winner a few furlongs out before fading once passed. The drop in trip here will suit and rider is capable as has developed a good partnership with a horse called My Good Pal to win and place many times in big field handicaps. Was in front of Showurappreciation last time and at double the price of that one looks the EW play here.

Dual 7f C&D winner in this grade and ran well again here last time when a close third to Flowstate who has come out a boosted the form to an extent as was third beaten two necks at Wolverhampton off a big weight. New connections have wasted no time in jockeying up the flying Billy Loughnane and this one looks a very worthy favourite.

Horse I've always liked especially as rattled off a five timer over hurdles last season and continued to run well off stiff marks despite many quick reappearances showing how tough he is. Chasing career canned and though form figures of UFU don't inspire was unlucky to be hampered last time in a good hurdles race and was well fancied there. To be fare those three runs were over 3m odd so I think dropping in trip could help too as 2m5f his is optimum and this strong traveller is a player if keeping out of harms way today. Decent ground will help too and former chasers have won this before so I'm in a forgiving mood today and think both of Neil Mulholland's charges can run well today.

Pretty exposed but on snippets of best form has a mighty chance here and is well overpriced. Ran a cracker last time when finding only the bang in form Absolutely Doyen too good at Wincanton. Had El Capitaine 4.5l behind then and when you consider that unexposed sort was only about 5l behind A Pai De Nom at Cheltenham the time before then on these terms and at the prices I have to back IKE SPORT. Has won in big fields before and ran a blinder at Aintree last spring in a competitive handicap when 5th, splitting Impose Toi & Wade Out and they've both advertised the form really well, including at Grade 1 level. On a good mark, gets this trip, won't mind the ground, goes well in the hood and Sam TD onboard, who has placed in this race three times in the last ten years. Has a squeak at a big price.

Classy chaser who remains lightly enough raced for an 11yo and ran a very eyecatching race back in a handicap last time on return splitting two Irish raiders. Ran a race full of promise staying on again after getting a second wind and shaped as if this trip will suit despite never winning over this far. The fourth that day Herakles Westwood has won since too, so back in another handicap and if coming on for seasonal debut must have a huge chance at this level. Won last January in the Grade 2 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham and is in fact unbeaten when running in January from three starts. His class might pull him through here and as I can't see him winning the Gold Cup in March today might be his Cup Final. Mr Vango and Resplendent Grey are old favourites but both might prefer a more galloping track and Myretown has fallen twice in his last four starts. Looks the bombproof EW play anyway and though this is a marathon might have too much class and toe for these late on with the short run in helping keep the closers at bay.

I've really fancied this one a couple of times recently and though been PU twice is one to keep an eye on for yard now back amongst the winners. Until last run had a record of finishing 411 from three starts after being pulled up the time before and that included over C&D last Christmas when hacking up by 10l from a good field. 7lb higher still now but is a couple of pounds lower than when running a cracker here in the competitive Ladbrokes Trophy last season where he went well for along way and I'd give him one more chance. Could well dominate this smaller field and looks a win or bust bet for me given the ground should suit and put up a career best over C&D.

Came to chasing a bit later than some but made a very decent chase debut beating Josh The Boss at Warwick and that one has advertised the form well enough since. This right handed track will suit and is unlucky not to be unbeaten over fences as was touched off by a nose last time at Doncaster by a fair sort so returning this venue might get him back to winning ways. Had Old Cowboy 25l behind over hurdles here over C&D and though that one has looked decent over fences this season too I do fancy Go West to confirm that form today. Could be a tad of value with yard still in good form and won't mind the ground. Would of got up in another few strides last time so the extra furlong here will suit too today. Big shout for me off this mark.

I can't believe this one isn't half the price as all form under rules at around 2m -2m1f is stacking up nicely. Failed to win a PTP but placed in two bumpers for yard and chased home the smart Idaho Sun on debut and that one is a Grade 1 hurdle winner now. Even had subsequent winners Supreme Malinas and Sinnatra behind that day before finishing third to another smart one in Kripticjim. Won on hurdles debut at Fontwell and the second, third and fourth have all won since too. Failed to stay 2m4f last time and though was beaten a fair distance there at Newbury the winner has since run No Drama This End close in the Grade 1 Challow, so all in all price looks too big for my fancy. Drop back in trip must suit and with yard still in form and always worth following around Kempton looks a mighty EW punt at current prices with the dead 8 here. Might get punted tomorrow and looks my banker place play of the day but might even win cosily if bouncing back to form.

Caught the eye last time at Chelmsford on first run for 133 days and stayed on well to be a close second to match fit rival. Was giving that horse Tonal 6lb plus the 5lb claimed so the fact that one has won again since at Wolverhampton the form could be strong. Sure to strip fitter now and yard going well with Oisin Murphy a very eyecatching booking too. Actually had a poor draw too last time and though up 2lb can go well from the plumb 5 stall so can follow the pace wherever it develops and pounce late on. Turf winner at Epsom in the summer and has a big chance if coming on for return.

Cut no ice here on Kempton debut last time over a mile but shaped the time before at Lingfield as if there is a race to be won soon. 7f suited that day and caught the eye staying on well despite a troubled passage. Been a long time since tasted success and did win on the AW and turf as a novice. Starting to look well handicapped and yard going well enough too as had a couple of winners and plenty run well since the end of December. To be fair wasn't disgraced in 6th last time and drop in trip will help I'm sure. Could go well.

I was at Sandown and backed this fella when he won a juvenile hurdle easily and followed him ever since after he then went on to run a cracker in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival the race after. Was disappointing on the level and on seasonal and then bounced back to form to run a mammoth race in a valuable handicap at Ascot in second splitting two very smart older horses. Sadly didn't have a bean on that day but back here at Sandown and down in grade too looks a good thing to me. Drying ground wouldn't hurt and might just outclass these with yard in fair form who've had a few winners and plenty of places since mid-December from their last 15 runners. Should go close.

Won really well last time at Wincanton and though the better ground helped there, it was still surprising somewhat to see him bolt up, as tended to need a run or two in the past to be spot on. Had stablemate Credo behind in that valuable race at Wincanton and though that one is better off the weights has had another tough race since in the Berkshire National. Rex Dingle stays loyal to Gustavian despite trainer's entries and that's good enough for me especially has have always liked this horse. Could strip fitter now and could be hard to catch if cutting out any mistakes, which has been a problem before.

Won a handicap mares hurdle over C&D last time showing a good attitude even after getting hampered and us rapidly in the improve. Is actually joint youngest in the field and very much lightly enough raced to think improvement can still come. Steps up in grade here but did me a favour last time and I noted could go in again. Worse of with the re opposing runner up here but had so much in hand at the finish and can handle this step up in grade. Still has to improve but with solid course form could have too much for some who had tough races last time. Someone's tipped it up as backed and seen price collapse. Must go close with conditions to suit.

Really fancied him last time at Newbury but was looking in need of the run and maybe the track didn't suit either and dropped a 1lb has to be of interest returning to Sandown. Was going well enough when brought down here over C&D in January and other than that effort runs at Leicester and Carlisle suggest he may well of gone close met with a stiff finish. On a good mark with yard still going well and I've followed that Newbury run anyway and the form working out okay as we've had a winner and many places out of it subsequently. Strong fancy for me now blown away the cobwebs and very unexposed for a lightly raced 9yo.

I loved the way this one jumped and travelled last time over a marathon trip at Newcastle. Moved smoothly on the front end and looked the most likely winner two or three furlongs out. Got outpaced before staying on again and my EW punt failed to land by a nose! Race was a decent event and the winner hasn't been disgraced in the Welsh National since in addition to the runner up winning subsequently. Off the same mark here looks a bombproof EW shout given this represents a small drop in grade. Will travel well throughout and hopefully Patrick Wadge times the challenge just right and with the four places looks the EW bet of the day. Lightly raced and has won on heavy ground so despite top weight looks a player.

I remember latching onto this one one day at Carlisle who is very lightly raced for age as was by Flemensfirth out of mare who relished heavy ground and won a Leinster National. He duly obliged by a whopping 25l and then followed up a week later here over C&D. Has cut any ice since but is back to a fair mark now and cheekpieces that didn't work the oracle are discarded here. Still lightly enough raced for a 9yo and will love the heavy ground today. Proven over C&D and has an EW squeak if yard can get him back to his best.

Will relish the heavy ground based on three French runs and though didn't win any of those nearly did on debut and ran well on next two starts again staying on well each time to be 4th & 3rd. Eyecatcher on debut for yard and as seems to stay a bit further might be one to keep onside in running if there is a fair pace on too. Owner 17-72 at the track over the last 5 years and this one could outrun his odds in an open race.

Bolted up on seasonal debut and that form worked out well. Run last time was too bad to be true when yard was going through a quiet spell. Cobden back onboard is another positive and as normally travels so well we'll know if on a going day early. If is must have a massive chance in this company as looked most progressive at this trip before last time put flop. Must go close with yard on better form.

Rarely have I seen an easier winner the. When this one hosed up under Cobden last March at Newbury. Can be tricky but Gavin Sheehan a good rider who gets on well too with this type of horse. Will travel all over these at some stage and this is his trip. Stiff enough mark but very lightly raced for a 9yo and ran a cracker last time when second to the smart French Ship. Must go close as in a classy sort at best. Beat Hartington over C&D in the past and though that one is much better off now I do like this horse. Big shout on track we know suits.

Has stamina to prove but back on a fair mark now a 1lb lower than when winning last January at Windsor. Might get loose on the front and if he is to get the trio on good ground on this track looks a fair chance. Goes well here and may even be ridden to get the triop and his class might see him go close. Goes well this time of year and ground will suit so looks too well handicapped to ignore.

I thought would make into a Stayers hurdler when a youngster and beating the likes of Tullyhill and Summerville Boy but didn't turn out to that level. Interesting connections Robcour have kept him but changed stables and I like the booking of Sean Bowen who I supposed could of rode Herakles Westwood who he rode last time. Good ground a concern but dam has produced plenty who liked quick ground and it's worth taking a chance he'll handle it. Came good this time last year in a beginners chase and looks the EW play as stays well. Bowen can ride cold and plod on late on.

Looks ew banker to me as jockey is 6-23 in bumpers this season with a further 6 places and is always worth noting when booked by trainer.

Is a horse I always had an eye on as was 4th once at 100-1 and nearly landed me a nice EW tickle. Well related to the yard's Valadom and came good last time under this pilot on chase debut. Jumped well and came miles clear with the runner up so 6lb higher mark looks not too harsh. Really fancied on from the yard yesterday but couldn't quite get up and that still makes it 5 winners from their last 11 runners and this one has been well backed today. Nicked a nice price last night so hopefully can avenge yesterday's near miss for trainer and jockey. Big shout.

C&D winner of a maiden hurdle on debut beating the subsequently smart Sounds Victorious who has ended up rated 133 so off this mark you'd have to think my fancy is well handicapped. Wasn't disgraced in another race behind the smart Honest Policy at Leopardstown in March and that one is rated 156 now and this one had every chance turning for home. Ran well enough in 7th last time here when not far behind Saint Les Fort who was placed in a Listed race at Leopardstown yesterday and all in all dropped a 1lb looks too well handicapped to ignore.

You wouldn't be confident this one is ready to roll after 3 years off but on stable debut it has caught my eye that connections pitch him in here in this contest. Was a dual winner on the flat for Master Trainer Andre Fabre before transfer to Willie Mullins and won a Naas Maiden hurdle after a 644 day break. Was then campaigned as a good horse and finished 4th of 9 in the 2022 Supreme to none other than Constitution Hill. Then ran on the flat and was only just touched off by Coltrane in the Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot before having a year off and then running at that meeting again. Was sent off favourite for the 2023 Ascot Stakes but wasn't right and obviously has ability. New yard pitch him in deep on belated return but as has won after a lengthy break before could be plotted up. Small win or bust bet for me as plenty have questions to answer here.

Choicely bred Teofilo gelding out of a Sea The Stars mare and bought out of Charlie Appleby's yard and though hurdling debut wasn't great was too green there and should of learned a lot. Catches my eye that young jockey is not riding for PJ Rothwell and though that's not enough to suggest he's a good thing at the prices is too big to not have a £1 ew or so.

First time cheekpieces worked the oracle for this lightly enough raced 9yo. Had Big Stage behind that day and looked sure to go close before getting collared late on so slightly shorter trip here should should. Good claimer back onboard now and trainer does well at this meeting and did have a second place in this race last season. Form of that Fairyhouse handicap chase isn't the strongest but the 4th has won since and off just a 2lb higher mark my fancy looks a cracking EW bet to nowt. Can run well if the cheekpieces have tte same effect and trip looks sure to suit too. Was second in a maiden hurdle here at around this trip and is unexposed for a 9yo.

With a 31% strike at Taunton over the last 5 years you'd expect one of trainer Paul Nicholls' three runners to oblige today and I think this one is the most likely. Sole British win was on stable debut at Wincanton on good ground so this right handed sharp track on decent ground look spot on. Trainer has won this a couple of times in recent years and despite top weight I like this one's chances as is still pretty unexposed.

Didn't quite make it chasing so return to hurdling makes sense and ran well enough last time at Cheltenham and though has a bit to prove currently looks to have a massive chance here. Last win was a C&D success and off a 5lb lower mark now has to be of interest and with young Megan Fox talking off 7lb again must be backed. Is classy at best and as long as ground doesn't get rattling quick I'm expecting a big run.

Better than evens looks a steal for this unexposed 6yo who looks sure to appreciate this step up in trip as he gets older and stronger. Pulled miles clear with House Of Habsburg last time over 3m at Warwick and that one has gone on to win at Uttoxeter in a novice handicap chase by a whopping 20 lengths since. Yard's runners have to be respected and from mid-November-ish their 10 runners sent out have yielded 5 winners. Many of the rest have questions to answer whether it be current well being or stamina to prove but this one might have the legs on this exposed bunch and prove a strongest at the end.

Hadn't cut much ice in two runs at Ffos Las last season but ran a blinder on reappearance under today's pilot and only just failed to nab Special John at Exeter. That one has gone in again off a 7lb higher mark of 100 and the third there was running a big race subsequently and may off gone close too at Uttoxeter off a mark of 100 but for tipping up 3 out. This suggests my fancy off a 6lb higher mark than his near miss is still well in off a mark of 90. Is entered at Exeter on New Year's Day over the C&D he ran so well at last time so interesting connections come here. Yard capable with their few horses who have all been running well when sent out and 9 of the 13 sent out in the whole year of 2025 have finished in top four positions.

Beat a filly of Thomas Cooper's Celestial Tune on rules debut and that one is a very nice prospect who won a competitive Listed mares' bumper at Cheltenham afterwards. Bud Fox himself then finished third in another Cheltenham listed bumper this time behind an exciting Thomas Cooper inmate in Saint Clovis and rabbis in need of the run. Tired on the soft ground there and should strip fitter today and appreciate the good ground. The fourth in that last race has since won since so I like this one's profile and form chance. Worthy favourite and should go close as yard are also in better form since too. Derek O'Connor back onboard too and he was riding when winning bumper debut and also on point to point victory when in his career. Massive chance for me.

This one might actually be the one given is slowly getting the hang of things and best effort was last time out on just second handicap start. Took a marked step up in trip and made move 2f out and looked a major player before fading late on into 4th. The 2f shorter trip here looks sure to suit and off the same mark has to be of interest here.

Bumper winner for yard and finally shed maiden hurdle tag last time when winning a big field maiden at Punchestown under today's young pilot. Handicap debut here but doesn't look on a bad mark and shrewd yard doing well with their few runners this season as a few of them have won from not many runners. First time cheek pieces are slapped on and ran a cracker on sole visit to the track in March when second to my winning Nap today Koktail Divin and I think that is a chaser going places now. Has to improve to trouble the best of these but off a low weight with claimer back onboard who has a third and a win from two rides on this horse he has to be respected. Might be shorter in the betting if from a more fashionable yard and as long as it is not too quick is a definite EW punt here.

Have to have a saver on this fella with yard in good nick as seasonal debut was full of promise. 4th at Navan over hurdles and considering the 3rd, 5th and 6th have all won competitive handicaps since makes this one a form pick at least. Win last season on second start when fencing after a placed seasonal debut so should be spot on here. Jack Kennedy replaces the claimer so all in all has a right chance on best form.

Started career on a real roll winning first four races on the flat and at Grade 2 and 1 level over hurdles. Was a fair 6th in the Truimph Hurdle at Cheltenham and ran just as well at the Punchestown Festival. Had only had another spin on the flat in the summer but very interesting connections start off here considering his novice status. Is a C&D winner and won't mind if the ground dries out. EW squeak if ridden to place and won't mind the ground drying out. Has gone well fresh before so can outrun his odds.

3-6 over hurdles for current yard and sure to improve for seasonal debut when running a cracker in third at Doncaster on ground way too soft. Course winner in March in a novice's hurdle and step in trip shouldn't hinder as dam was beaten less than a length over 2m6f in her short career. Drying ground suits and off the same mark as seasonal reappearance must go well given won on second start last season for yard and will appreciate better ground. Cracking EW play for me.

Is a 10yo but still showing good form and is lightly enough raced for his age to think can win more races. Won the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in June on good ground off a 5lb lower mark but that was a good race as the winners of 9 races have emerged from it subsequently and form looks good. Ran another blinder in a veteran's chase and was only two necks behind subsequent Becher Chase winner Twig and might of even got up in another stride or two. That was a veteran's race in name only as arguably is the key bit of form here and off the same mark had to be the bet. Drying ground will suit and trip and flat track look spot on for this one. Yard 2-3 at this track this season and lots to like about this likeable sort who trainer has brought about massive improvement from.

Ex-flat horse who has been on my radar after nearly landing me a fair ew punt on hurdling debut when fourth at big odds and would of been placed but for getting hampered. Has been improving with each run after winning under this young pilot in September who is now 1223 from four rides on this one he and obviously gets on well with the filly. Caught my eye again last time when third on ground softer than ideal and is a confident selection with the ground drying out and a sharp track here. Unexposed and getting weight from all I like this one's chances as travels smoothly and looks an improving sort. Tough race but off just a 1lb higher than last time must be the bet with conditions to suit.

Dam produced Sortudo for the yard who won on bumper debut, was a respectable 7th in a hot Cheltenham Festival bumper last March and was placed second in a Grade 2 so I'm expecting a big run from this one. Paddy Mullins onboard and we know he is worth following in bumpers and is 12 from 47 this season in NH Flat races. Looks a likely one on paper and though Mrs Audrey Turley has bigger fish to fry with Galopin Des Champs at Leopardstown her two runners here shouldn't be ignored. Must go close in a just okay field.

Belated debut for yard but catches my eye having being bought out of the same point to point as my strong fancy in the first Lazare De Star and was only a length and a half behind that one then. Well related to plenty of winners and all five horses dam has produced are winners under NH rules including two on bumper debut. Will take a smart one to beat him.

I can't believe this legend is only a 9yo given what he has achieved so far and this dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner has to be a strong fancy here despite belated reappearance. Was behind Inothewayurthinkin in his bid for a historic third Gold Cup but had him behind when winning here in the Irish Gold Cup and in this race last year. Is 6/7 at the track and in fact unbeaten in all 6 chase starts here all at Grade 1 level. Surely primed for today and I really want to see him win and arguably the last time we saw him was one of his best performances. If fit wins for me and maybe Cheltenham might be a step too far again but this is his manor and must go close.

Division ripe for a new kid on the block and though this one had still a bit to find has achieved a lot for a 5yo. Tried chasing but to me is a 3m hurdler and has to be persevered with in this sphere as ran a mammoth race in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham to finish fourth in Match. Three runs over fences haven't been devoid of promise but as was third in this race last year as a 4yo at a big price I think a plot is in the offing. Can go off too quick but does stay well and with a first time visor on can hopefully settle better and stay on well to hit the frame at least. Ran well last time behind Oscars Brother and if Koktail Divin goes in earlier as I expect this one's form may look a tad better. Younger legs on this decent ground could be the way to go here for the shock.

I can't believe this one is not favourite and looks a good thing to me. Has chased home two good sorts in fledgling chase career this season including at Grade 2 level last time, and to the exciting Romeo Coolio previously. Was 15l in front of Patter Merchant when second at Down Royal and that one has since finished nearly 4l in front of Kiss Will, so my fancy should beat both of them. Course form is good too as won maiden hurdle here in March and gave the smart Kaid D'authie a real fright on this card in the opener last season, and that one in turn gave subsequent Grade 1 Kauto Star winner Kitzbuhel a race on chase debut last month. All in all form is strongest on offer here and should be clear favourite in my book.

Looks a work in progress for shrewd yard and has run in two fair bumpers at Punchestown finishing 4th & 2nd respectively. All three of those in front of my fancy have won varying races since and improved on that effort to run well a year later. Drying ground wouldn't hinder given pedigree as out of a winning miler but Galopin Des Champ's colours are well represented at Limerick and I like this one's unexposed look. Has easier looking options at Tramore on New Year's Day so is very interesting coming here instead. Main rival looks pretty exposed and has to give this one 8lb so on hurdling debut I'm expecting a big run.

Bought out of a decent point to point where he was a close beaten favourite to Smoke Trail who is now with Lucinda Russell/Michael Scudamore and has already won under rules in addition to chasing home the smart Mydaddypaddy. Made a very pleasing rules debut at Navan when second to a Willie Mullins nice horse and was miles clear of the third. Yard flying and Jack Kennedy's choice so this one looks a solid favourite and can improve for stable debut which was 223 days on from sole point to point run. Must go close and get us off to a winning start.
