A trappy Juvenile Hurdle event with all 8 runners having a sporting chance. The top 2 in the market are proven in today's heavy-ground conditions but their odds reflect that. LORD has been outstanding though winning his last 3 hurdle races (and close 2nd on debut) and if he copes with the ground is as good as any in here. The only other horse that seems to like the heavy going is 80/1 outsider, Kasper Hauser, and I'll be having a very small each-way bet on him too.

Another 7 runner race and only 2 places for the each-way bet. BREEZETHROUGHLIFE won comfortably on his second attempt (closely placed on debut) over hurdles last time out. This looks a weak race and if he races to the same level he will be bang there again today.

Only 7 runners but ATLANTIC LAD is the only one who has decent hurdling experience, finishing close second place in both hurdle starts in decent quality races for this grade. He hasn't raced since January which is the only concern, but the two in front of him in the market have also had long breaks too, and they haven't raced over the hurdles yet. Only two places up for grabs but I think this fella has a great chance.

Only five horses and the standard doesn't look too high. DIXIE MAFIA (33/1) won 2 of his 8 Irish point races before a low-key Rules debut on the flat. He left that form well behind with a close-up 4th of 11 over 2 miles on his hurdle debut back in March. He was prominent on recent seasonal reappearance in a 2m 4f hurdle race before running out of steam 2 furlongs out. Maybe he lacked race fitness that day but he could just also prefer 2 miles. He'll be sharper for that run and today's drop back to 2 miles is a positive.

MIGHTY MOTH (22/1) has been doing well chasing this season over today's 2m 4f distance. He has not raced over hurdles since May 2024, however, so there is a bit of risk attached here. That said, when he was hurdling, he was competitive in Class 2 and Class 1 Listed level and won and placed at Class 4 (today's class) and Class 3. He seems to be weighted accordingly though (12st). The break shouldn't be too much of a hindrance. The only other concern is the jockey, Bruce Lynn, who has never ridden MIGHTY MOTH before and has a dubious record at Hexham - 87 rides, 7 wins, and 18 places.
Others I'm backing are MORNINGTON BEACH (8/1) and LES'S LEGACY (16/1).

With Zwicky now a non-runner, ROBERT D'ORES (7/1) looks a good value bet to land this. He's used to the winner's enclosure here too, with all 3 wins over this course and distance, the latest on his season reappearance last month. Wee Alki wasn't far away in fourth that day and has a 5lb claimer onboard today, so rates the main danger.

A maiden hurdle, but the only two with experience of note are short enough at around 3/1 and look vulnerable. Lucinda Russell-trained favourite, Out Of The Woods, is sure to be popular at her local track where she has a good record, but he too looks poor value. At bigger odds, I'm going for THE BRAVE GUY (20/1). He makes his Rules debut after finishing close-up to a decent rival in a point-to-point 600 days ago. It's maybe a tenuous angle, but the trainer/jockey combo Candish and Quinlan have a great record here - 6 wins from 12 runs (50%) in the last 12 months, 17 wins and 10 places from 54 runs in the last 5 years.

Not much between favorite We Got Your Back and O'Faolains Glory, and it would be no surprise if they fought out the finish like last month here. I'm going for CONQUER THE BREEZE (8/1). He won a decent race over course and distance in June on good-soft and is still well-treated by the handicapper. None of the runners can be fully discounted, however, so an each-way bet is advised.

Ultra consistent Ninna Collina looks nailed on for at least a place after winning her recent 2m hurdle race on season reappearance in October. She has only raced 5 times and placed in the other 4. The races she has contested have all produced future winners and placed efforts too, so the form is strong. She is versatile ground-wise and still relatively unexposed. This is a tough race, but she will give us a run for our money.
At bigger prices, Miss Bumblebee (28/1) ran very well here in October (prominent and challenging late on) in a 2m4f event, jumped well considering it was only her 2nd run, and just ran out of steam on the run in. The drop back to 2 miles and the race fitness gained should see her go close.

Two of the principals, Gibberwell and Don Broco, when race-fit just have the measure of Dr Shirocco, but they never run well on their first run after a long break. Dr Shirocco will have benefited from his recent hurdle run at Kelso and has a decent record here over the bigger fences. Dropping in class today and conditional jockey Murray Dodd taking 3lb off means he has got a decent chance. I don't normally like backing favourites, but 4/1 is decent value considering his form.

PARK TALK led on hurdle debut at the start of the month until the 2m point of a 2m 2f race before fading fast, beaten into 3rd place by 37 lengths (well clear of the rest though). He will have gained a lot fitness and experience-wise from that, and the drop back to 2m today is also in his favor. Worth an each-way bet for in-form trainer Harry Derham and with the services of the experienced and in-form jockey, Jonathan Burke, who also has a good record at Stratford.

It's obvious that FOLLOWANGO is consistent and versatile over ground and distance. She made her hurdle debut way back in 2023, and since then she is 0-12 but has placed 7 times, most recently back in March over 2m 4f in heavy ground, finishing a close second. Others may say she is very exposed, and that's a fair comment, but she looks nailed on for at least a place. In this weak race, she may eventually get the win she deserves.

This looks like a very weak hurdle race which will not take much winning. CRAZY ABOUT HER finished 13 lengths behind Timetoshine (an unbeaten hurdler at this level before fading in a Listed event last time) on hurdle debut, and that is by far the best form on offer in this race. 12/1 looks like a good value price, and she should make the frame at least.

Beckistine, like our nap, Cockney Cleopatra, was also an unlucky faller when looking set to win over this course and distance two hurdle starts ago back in January. She confirmed her ability by finishing a close third in a hurdle race at Wexford in March. She's had a 216-day lay off which is the only negative, but this is another weak race and I'm confident she'll at least make the podium position.

Annoyingly, I picked Cockney Cleopatra at 10 a.m. this morning and backed her at 40/1. If nothing else, though, the halving of her odds confirms my view that she is a great value bet (even at 20/1) in this very weak maiden hurdle. She made her hurdle debut earlier this month in a stronger race than this and made eye-catching late progress to catch the four breakaway horses. She was looking like overtaking them when she fell 3 furlongs out. Provided her confidence hasn't been knocked, a repeat of that performance should see her win this.
