bet365 Novices’ Championship Final Handicap Hurdle
HMS President 1pt win only 14/1 (Money Back as Free Bet offer B365) – High milage 8 year old on the flat and has done plenty of running compared to his opposition here today. Has only had 4 runs over obstacles however winning 1 and hitting the frame on the other 3 occasions. Was only narrowly denied on one of those occasions by a subsequent Class 1 winner and was giving that rival 7lb too. Opening handicap mark looks fair and he is the pick of the two runners from last years winning yard judged on jockey bookings.

bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase
O’Moore Park 0.5pt EW 16/1 – Just the 4 runs over hurdles before being quickly switched to the bigger obstacles. A switch that did not start well having failed to complete on his first two attempts. A keen going sort who will need to settle better here today but he has been improving with each run. Yet to run beyond 3 miles but this one is bred to be a staying chaser and comes from the same bloodline that has given us both a 6l winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and The Grand National this year. Still vastly inexperienced but has been bred for exactly this sort of task. Whether this has come too soon however is yet to be seen.

bet365 Handicap Hurdle
Dr Eggman 1pt win only 9/1 – Ultra consistent sort who was beginning to look highly tried until finally getting his head in front at Limerick last month in a race that looks to be working out pretty well. Stepped up on that run to finish second in behind what looks to be a smart sort and does not look harshly treated stepping into handicap company for the first time. Gaining experience all the time and this seemingly slow learner could still have plenty more improvement to come.

Divine Libra 1pt win only 8/1 – A chance is taken that this is not just a prep run for a big run at Chester next month. Yard have started to find some form and the chance is taken that this still improving 5 year old is ready to roll at the first time of asking this season. Quicker ground here today looks far more ideal than when this one was last seen and ought to be very competitive from this current mark. Acquitted himself very well in very highly contested handicaps last term and can do so again this season.

Roundhay Park 0.5pt EW 22/1 (5 places) – One of only two horses in here over the age of 6 and is very much in the senior years of his career for sure. Was likely to have needed the run last time out and should come here much fitter today. Performed consistently last term in much higher graded races without troubling the judge and as a result has fallen a long way in the weights ahead of this run. Last win came off a mark of 79 and he also placed off the same mark around this time last year. He effectively runs from a mark of 61 today with the 5lb claim and drops into class 5 company for only the second time since April 2023 which also happened to be on his second start that term resulting in a very comfortable victory from a mark of 75. Has won 4 times from 9 runs in class 5 company. Chance is taken that this one is not over the hill just yet.

Mudamer 0.5pt EW 16/1 (4 places B365) – Very inconsistent last term following a hike in the weights after winning on his last start the previous year. Has fallen 7lb below that last winning mark as a result and will relish this faster ground today. Could be in need of this first run but with 4 places on offer we are tempted in on what looks to be a very well handicapped runner for a yard that come good around this time each year.
