Duke Of Oxford

100 WIN
@+332
Lose
-100
This will take some getting and the progressive Duke of Oxford ticks the boxes. Despite being on his highest handicap mark, he has clearly been aimed at this after scoring here back in January and has been freshened up since then. The stable is in cracking form, with 4 of their last 6 runners winning. With so little between the field on adjusted RPRs, his strong stamina holds sway. At around 10/3, he rates the value bet.

Bragbor is making his seasonal reappearance but can go well fresh, and the stable is running into form. Spencer takes the ride, and his hold-up tactics are perfect for delivering him late. All but his last run have been at this track, so he goes well there and looks to have been prepared with this race in mind. At around 9/1, he rates as a solid each-way bet.

A chance is taken here on the Haggas-trained Wiltshire, who could be very well handicapped on his back form. He has a tendency to miss the break and get well behind in his races. He has the tongue tie back on and has had a wind op since his last run. The yard is in good form, and as long as he breaks better, he looks a solid each-way bet at around 7/1.

Chancellor has been very well backed through the morning, but he isn’t the most straightforward once getting to the front and now sports cheekpieces. However, at around 3/1, I would rather take him on. Tyrrhenian Sea was a 1l second to Chancellor on reappearance and is 3 lb better off today. He has been freshened up with a 55-day break since then and does have a good record at the track. He won his first three races all over CD and has also finished second and third here, both over 10f, and he is probably better back at 8f. At around 9/1, he looks a solid each-way bet with four places available.

The Keatley yard have a very good record at the track, and Cotai Lights looks overpriced at around 9/1 to add to that here. He made his handicap debut at Naas last time and ran with credit. She stays off a mark of 80, and with good course form behind him should be able to race just off the pace. Looks a solid each-way Nap of the day.

Andrew Balding often targets the All-Weather Finals Day. He comes here with the stable in very good form, with 7-30 in the past 14 days. New Monarch comes here with plenty of experience and does have the benefit of a recent run. He made all at odds-on in a 7f novice at Kempton and now steps up to 8f. He does have a bit more to find on RPRs, but with three places available with some bookies, he looks a solid each-way bet at around 11/2.

Guet Apens has taken well to hurdles and, being a stayer on the flat in France, should be well suited by the step up in trip. However, at the price I would prefer to take a chance on the Nichol-trained Feach Amach. She has won 2 of her last 4, including last time out, which was after a break. She has won over CD, so at around 13/2, she rates as a sporting each-way bet to finish in the first 2.

A chance is taken here with the ex-Skelton inmate Don Occhetti on the basis of him having his four runs for this stable on soft or heavy ground. His only win came on his last run for the Skeltons, which was on good ground at Worcester. Being by Presenting, good ground is always likely to suit, so it is no surprise that he has failed to show much on four runs on much softer ground. Again, being by Presenting, he has every chance of staying this longer trip. With conditions to suit, he looks a sporting each-way bet at around 33/1.

A chance is taken here with Take A Hike having run two good races here in the past with a win and a 4th. He has dropped 2 lb since his last run and is now only 2 lb higher than when winning here in November. Harry Atkins takes the mount and takes off a useful 7 lb, which makes him very well in here. He has a good record for the stable with 2-9 (two second places) in the past five seasons, and it is his only ride here today. At around 13/2, he rates a sporting each-way bet at a track he acts well at.

@+400

-100
Most of these have questions to answer, but one that takes the eye is Brûlure Noire. He has won 3-12 over fences and, importantly, he has won at the track. He probably needed his reappearance and should improve for that run. He has only had two runs in the past 12 months, so has evidently had issues. In addition, that was over 2.5m and he now drops back in trip today, which will suit. He has two runs here with a win and a third, and he drops 2 lb today. At around 4/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

@+700
Win
700
Country Park sets a clear standard on adjusted RPRs, but he is 0-12 and has had plenty of chances. He has been weak in the market this morning, so for me has to be passed over. Seven Kites has been nicely backed into favourite, but it is difficult to gauge the worth of his P2P win a month ago. Nevertheless, he is clearly expected to go well. However, for me the selection has to be Tobyshill. He stepped up on his second run over hurdles and his stable debut last time 18 days ago. Looking at his action, he is going to be well suited by today’s better ground. He was a little flat-footed from the last flight last time, so should be suited by the step up in trip today. Jack Quinlan takes the mount and he’s a useful 4-19 for the yard this season, and it is his only mount today. At around 4/1, this progressive sort looks the value bet.

A modest 0??"95 handicap, but Walkinthepresent is on an upward curve, and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to stop him. He showed improved form on his first outing on decent ground last time, and that was a 0??"100. The stable is in good form, and Dylan Johnston retains the ride. At around 13/8, he looks the value bet.

Win

On the face of it, trappy with all five runners within 1 lb of each other on adjusted RPRs. However, Muskoka, who is better off with Broomfields Cave for his run three runs back, is only 1-18. Both Law of Supply and Loup de Maulde have their last two wins each on soft ground. Broomfields Cave won 2 from 3, including over CD two runs back, before finding the Grimthorpe beyond him last time out on ground softer than ideal. He now drops from a Class 2 to Class 4, with his win coming in Class 3, so this should be well within his scope. At around 4/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

Catwalk Girl

-50
At the prices, a chance is taken here with Catwalk Girl. With Paddy Hanlon’s 5 lb claim, she is actually third-best on adjusted RPRs and she gets a massive 19 lb from her three main rivals, including her mares' allowance. Her best of two runs came on her Rules debut, which came off a nine-month break. She was entitled to need that and was far from disgraced when third to Diamond Du Berlais at Ludlow over this sort of trip on soft ground. That mare is rated 132 and was later a respectable sixth in the Mares' Novices' at Cheltenham. The selection should be better suited by today’s better ground, and she should be able to dictate her own fractions. The likely short-priced favourite Grand Vendetta won her novice on heavy ground, and she will find this very different. At around 33/1, Catwalk Girl is worth a small each-way bet to finish in the first two.

He drops 2 lb from his last run and finished second three times over hurdles, including over this sort of trip here. If he makes the expected improvement from his reappearance, he looks the value bet at around 3/1.

Cahiers Den has run three times this season, all on soft ground, and he will encounter better ground today, which should suit.

This looks to rest between the two at the head of the market, with preference for the McCain-trained Roses All The Way. The pair should probably vie for the lead, but the selection is expected to set the pace. She drops in trip back to the minimum today, but if she can get out in front on this better ground, she can make all. The likely favourite has not raced on ground as quick as this, so may be on the back foot from the outset, and the McCain mare is fancied to make all and rates the value bet.

A very modest event but one which should allow the McCain runner to break his duck on his second hurdles run.

He looks the one to be on.

Annie’s Express sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and that is before her jockey’s 5 lb claim. However, she is likely to face a challenge for the lead, and there could well be a pace collapse here. That could play into the hands of the Lavelle-trained Kit’s Coty, who loves it at this course. While she has won over further, with the likely contested pace she can sit off them before being produced late. The stable is in excellent form with 7-17 in the past 14 days, and the stable have a very good record here with 12-43 in the past five seasons. Today’s rider was the last one to win on here, and at around 3/1 she rates the Nap of the day.

Scarlet Moon sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and should give a good account. However, while he has been consistent, he is not making great strides and could be vulnerable to an improver. Snatch a Glance comes here off a 126-day break, and the form of the stable is a big worry with only 1-30 in the past two weeks. Jimbo Sport has been nicely progressive in his three runs over hurdles and is proven on the ground. He looks the one to be on. He has recorded decent RIQ data in his last two runs and should be able to sit just behind the front rank before being produced late on. At around 7/4, he rates the value bet.

Irish-trained Munsif is likely to go off favourite, and with his connections and the noticeable booking of Sean Bowen, he takes the eye. However, at the odds, I would prefer to look elsewhere.

While she is 0-5, she has been placed in 4 of her 5 runs. Being out of a Presenting mare, she will be suited by the forecast sound surface, and the trip will suit. The form of her latest run at Cork has worked out well, and she looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to break her duck. At around 8/1 in a 4-runner race, she looks well overpriced.

A wide-open-looking renewal as usual, so a chance is taken with a massive-priced outsider who does tick a number of boxes on trends. Metal Merchant has switched from Jack Channon to Brian Twomey, who has his stable in good form with his last two runners finishing 2nd and 3rd. In addition, the horse wears blinkers for the first time, and the stable have an excellent record of two winners and a 2nd from four such runners in the last two seasons. On top of that, he is ridden by Neil Callan, who has an excellent winner and two 2nds from three rides for the stable in the past five years. He is drawn in stall 15, and 15 of the past 22 winners of the race have been drawn 9 or higher. Twenty-one of the past 22 winners have been aged six or younger, and 20/22 carried 9st 4lb or less, and he ticks both of those boxes. He doesn’t race too close to the pace, so he has a lot going for him. At around 66/1, he rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

He has recorded good RIQ data in both of his last two races and has proved he stays the trip, and the ground should be fine for him.

A valuable prize for the grade, and one who takes the eye is the Mulholland-trained Alright Dai. He scored on his chasing debut over CD before his jumping let him down over a much longer trip at Sedgefield just over two weeks ago. Back to the scene of his chasing win, he sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and with the ground likely to ride a bit softer than the official description, he has conditions to suit.

All five of these have some sort of question to answer, but the one who has more excuses than most is Koapey. He had his third wind op at the beginning of last month and has been given time to get over it. He may also have been waiting for better ground, which he will get today. Prior to his last run at Newbury, where he was pulled up, he had not finished out of the first two in five runs. He had excuses for Newbury, as he needed physio post-race. Greatrex reported that he expected him to be rated well above his rating of 119, and he has now been dropped to 117. He was always expected to make a better chaser, so if his latest wind op does the trick, he has been found an ideal opportunity to open his chasing account. At around 2/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

That said, the stable have a very good record at Wetherby with 2 wins (5 placed) from 7 this season and 3-6 and 4-8 in the previous two seasons. He is their only runner anywhere today.

He only qualified for this race last time out, 21 days ago, and has since been dropped a further 5 lb and looks dangerously well handicapped on his best form, including a win here in September 2024. He has raced four times since then and is 8 lb below that winning mark. Skelton is a master at plotting out a long-term plan, and this looks exactly that.

Her action suggests she will be better suited by today’s decent ground, and she is strongly fancied to land this before going on to better things.

Stanners Glen sets a clear standard on adjusted RPRs. He has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and should be suited by a step up in trip. He is much the best in here, and with his stable back in decent form, he should take the deal of beating and looks the one to be on.

While Caspari did show much improved form last time from his debut run, he still looks to have a lot to find here. The 2 at the head of the market look to have it between them, and both have questions to answer. Step Ahead looked to be the one to beat last over CD, but he stopped to nothing after straightening for home and nothing was reported after that. If he returns to his best, then he should go close. But with that disappointing finish last time still fresh in the mind, preference is for the Honeyball-trained Fountains Blenheim. He battled on well at Windsor after being outpaced and has plenty of stamina, but his tendency to hang has to be a worry. That said, he has won 2 of his 5 starts and looks suited by a sound surface. He has a 12 lb penalty to carry, but his jockey does take off a useful 7 lb and, at the odds, he has to be the value bet.

Two stand out on hurdles form. With the Knight-trained runner needing to learn to settle better, he could set the race up for his main rival, who should be able to travel in behind the likely leader. Myrighthandman won his PTP on good ground. Having been well beaten on soft ground on his Rules debut, he looks to be suited by this better ground, especially being out of a Presenting mare. He may be suited by further in time, but if he runs up to his best, he should be able to win this before going on to better things and rates the Nap of the day.

Plenty in with chances on the face of it, but this looks as if it could be a Skelton plot. She showed improved form to land a Class 2 Windsor Novice in mid-January before being unable to carry her penalty at Market Rasen last time. She looks held by a couple of these, but on handicap debut she does have a bit of a pull, and Harry has gone to Newbury for the mount. She has plenty of stamina in her pedigree, so should be suited by the step up in trip. Even at 9/2, she could be overpriced and rates a solid each-way bet with around five places available.

Only five runners, but all with something to answer. However, the Skelton-trained Joyeux Machin has more to recommend than the others. He is well handicapped on his best form, even for Skelton, since coming over from Ireland, and he has Harry Atkins taking off a useful 7 lb. His last two runs have been in Class 1 handicaps, and he drops to Class 3 today with only four rivals. He was going well and clear when falling two runs back, and if he reproduces his best then he could be very well in here. At 3/1, he could look very generous after the race.

The Chris Gordon yard has been having a bit of a quiet time during the past couple of months, but they have shown signs of a revival with a couple of winners in the past week or so. Kocktail Bleu sets the clear standard on adjusted RPRs and, being a forward racer, should be able to race with the pace and possibly dictate his own fractions. He acts on good to soft ground, which he may well get today judging by yesterday’s winning times, and he should take the deal of beating here.

Three stand out in this, but the O’Neill runner has been weak in the market and may want better ground than he is likely to encounter today. Tommy Pickles sets a clear standard on adjusted RPRs and is nicely progressive in his last two hurdle races, where he has recorded good RIQ figures in both outings. He is suited by today's distance and ground and should take a deal of beating here.

A few of these have to prove themselves over this trip, especially when the ground may well be softer than described and/or 'dead.' The Ellis mare has won her last four hurdle races and is improving at a decent rate. She tends to travel well through her races, and she should be able to race off the pace before being delivered late. The stable is in good form, with three winners from their last six runners. With her proven stamina, she looks overpriced at around 14/1 and rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.
