Sopran Thor 2pt or £10 win only 5/1 (Skybet money back offer) (115Sandown) – Won on his return to action last term over todays trip and in softer conditions. Will be open to some improvement here today and has now returned to that last winning mark for a very shrewd operator in these parts.

Nb; Castle Rushen 1pt win only 5/1 (123 Newcastle) – Good hurdler who is held in high regard by this yard and was running a big race before unseating on chase debut. Will appreciate every yard of this trip in today’s conditions and should go well under the champion jockey if granted a clear round.

IWAC: Flamenco De Kerser 1pt win only 14/1 (240 Wincanton) – Has struggled in two outings over the larger obstacles but is of more interest today back over hurdles from a mark that looks very fair to say the least. Will need to bounce back for the switch but has few excuses with conditions looking favourable.

Nnb: Coo Star Sivola 1pt win only 9/1 (300 Sandown) – Soundly beaten on his return from 595 days off but this once Cheltenham festival winner will be entitled to have come on plenty for that run. Has run well here before and like many of this yards runners will appreciate the cut under foot today. Very capable from this mark and in this company if better for a recent run.

Nap: Iceo 1pt win only 5/1 (335 Sandown) – Twice a soft ground winner already who ran very well in some decent company last term. Will be open to bags of improvement given who he is in the hands of and makes his handicap debut today from what looks a very winnable mark. Connections have enjoyed some decent success here with 4 wins and 2 placed from just 10 runners with an LSP of +21.

Kalaharry 0.5pt EW 25/1 (343 Newcastle) – Out of sorts in 3 runs so far this term but a return to any sort of form today on these more favourable conditions and back over fences would put him bang there from a very handy mark. Will need a revival however but this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

Soleil De Cannes 1pt win only 20/1 (115 Ayr) – Poor run when looking very tired over 2 miles on yard debut but ought to come here much fitter for that run. gets a massive weight for age claim here today which if suited by this longer trip should put him right in the mix. Runner up on heavy ground over in France so no worries there either.

Dindin 1pt win only 16/1 (230 Plumpton) – Fairly consistent since winning out of sight at Warwick back in September. Had been kept very busy but comes here having been freshened up for what looks a very winnable race. Has won on heavy over in France so todays surface should be within reach.

Atakan 1pt win only 9/2 (300 Plumpton) – Very lightly raced and unexposed having only run twice over fences. Won well on chase debut and followed up with a good 3rd last time out on soft ground. The win came here over 3 miles so todays slightly longer trip should not be a stretch for a yard who appear to target these marathon trips.

Tara Iti 1pt win only 8/1 (330 Plumpton) – First glance would see this as the yards second string on jockey bookings but ruling this dual CD winner out under today’s 5lb claim would be foolish. Below par last time out at Lingfield but worth another try back here. Has won on heavy ground on the flat so hopefully no issues there.

Punta Prima 1pt win only 20/1 (115 Catterick) – Interesting runner for a yard that does very well in these parts. Upped in trip markedly today in testing conditions which could well just be the key to this one. First time blinkers go on and a massive 10lb taken off by a promising young claimer. Race looks there for the taking.

Nap: Rapper 1pt win only 8/1 (1245 Cheltenham) – A running on 3rd last time out behind two decent looking stayers. Blinkers added today which could eek out a little more from this very unexposed sort from a yard on fire. Henry Daly can do very little wrong at present and has won with 5 of his last 16 runners for a 35% strike in the last 14 days.

NB: Wilde About Oscar 1pt win only 8/1 (305 Cheltenham) – A very close 3rd at Sandown last time out when upped in trip for the first time. Reopposes on slightly better terms with the two who pipped him home that day, Call Me Lord and Dolphin Square and he will have learned plenty from that race. Ought to be in the mix again today with conditions on side.

Haut Folin 1pt win only 14/1 (240 Exeter) – Will need to bounce back from a disappointing yard debut but could well have been in need of the run that day and will come here fitter for this step up in trip. Twice a winner in France including on Heavy ground which he will encounter again today.

NNB: War Lord 1pt win only 14/1 (155 Cheltenham) – A very good level was achieved as a novice last term and can be forgiven his reappearance run when looking in need of a little match fitness. Steps back up in trip here today and looks the pick of the yards two runners on jockey bookings. A tough race but with the right tactics applied (held up off the pace) one that he can win.

Not Available £10 or 2pt win only 12/1 (Skybet money back offer) (115 Newbury) – Won back to back handicaps last term but has not looked in the same form since returning this year. Failed to get home over 3 miles last time out and is worth another try at these weights now back down in trip. Sam Twiston Davies takes over in the saddle and he is pretty profitable to follow for this yard.

Silent Revolution 0.5pt EW 33/1 (150 Newbury) – Bit of a wildcard but remains with potential in this sphere to outrun todays odds. Disappointed on chasing debut and clearly something was amiss that day given the break from running since. Hopefully that has been ironed out for his return to smaller obstacles. Todays step up in trip should be in the lock up and could possibly eek out some improvement.

Killer Kane 1pt win only 11/1 (225 Newbury) – Will have his stamina to prove here today but will do so from what looks a feasible mark. Has posted two solid efforts so far this term and could be bang on here for those runs. The form of his win at Kempton last term has worked out well and over a similar trip today with a couple of runs under the belt he could well give the favourite something to think about.

Message Personnel 1pt win only 11/1 (143 Uttoxeter) – Runner up twice last term in decent company and rates of particular interest now sent handicapping for the first time. Slight worry having had wind surgery before this race but opening mark looks fair and has conditions coming perfect with the forecast rainfall arriving.

Lord Snootie 1pt win only 14/1 (135 Warwick) – Has shown plenty of promise in 3 novice outings so far and is of much more interest stepping up in trip in testing conditions today on his handicap debut. Shrewd yard who will no doubt have had a plan for this day, they are very profitable to follow when sending them to Warwick so another double figure winner would be no surprise.

Pearly Island 1pt win only 7/1 (1245 Huntingdon) – Will need to take a significant step forward from what he has shown in last two outings but comes here on what looks to be a very fair mark judged on last year’s form. Yard do pretty well here and a valuable 10lb is taken off today.

Potters Hedger 1pt win only 7/1 (145 Huntingdon) – Looks bred for chasing so it is surprising that he makes his debut aged 10. Has changed yards and this will be a first outing for Charlie Longsdon and he will do so from a very enticing mark. Can go well fresh so holds every chance today

Cyclop 1pt win only 8/1 (105 Kelso) – One that loves these marathon trips and has far fewer questions to answer than many of his rivals here today. Has been in decent form and comes here eased a couple of pounds for what looks like a decent 3rd last time out. Will be suited by conditions and could spoil the Sandy Thomson party today under the champion jockey.

Nambiti 1pt win only 16/1 (110 Sandown) – Going well in second when coming to grief on yard debut last month and looked a decent prospect for his step up in trip that day. Extra distance here today should play to his strengths and although this looks much tougher he is not without a chance from such a lowly weight for the in form Venetia Williams.

Planned Paradise 1pt win only 20/1 (330 Sandown) – There have been questions asked on this ones stamina having looked to not see out the trip following a short break at Newbury in October and failing again, finishing last of 6 last time out. This yard have won this race twice however in the last 6 years so know exactly the sort it takes and we are trusting their judgment today. Jumping looked to be the main issue on his last two starts and the addition of the cheek pieces could just help with exorcising those demons for a clearer round here.

Skippin Court £2.50EW or 0.5pt EW 25/1 (b365 Free Bet at Aintree) (315 Aintree) – Looks a tad high in the weights judged on his form over in Ireland but it’s a well-known fact that this can be a grey area when they travel over for this yard. They send just the one today and are impossible to ignore when doing so. Free bet applied so nothing lost in trying.

The Street 1pt win only 12/1 (212 Chepstow) – Course winner over hurdles who could not have had a worse start when falling at the 1st on chasing debut. Looks the second string here for the Trevor Hemmings connections who do so well at this time of year but is given another chance for us. Looks the sort that should do well over fences and is bred for this type of test. Adam Wedge in the saddle today looks a big positive too.

Farinet 1pt win only 9/1 (137 Chepstow) – 2 from 6 over fences and still looks very unexposed for this top yard. Tackles this longer trip for only the second time today and could have plenty of untapped potential doing so. Yard have been in excellent form and certainly know how to get one ready. Shane Quinlan who takes of a valuable 5lbs and has a great record for the yard of 4 wins and 2 placed efforts from 10 runners in the last 12 months for a 40% strike. They also team up with Enzo D’Airy in the race prior to this

Domaine De L’Isle 0.5pt EW 33/1 6places WillHill (205 Aintree) – Not been in the same form as when finishing 4th in this race last year but it is not wise to write him off just yet. Ticks a lot of boxes for this race from a trends perspective and comes in some 15lb lower than last term. Worth another try from this reduced mark.

Brave Seasca £10 or 2pt win only 9/1 (Skybet money back offer) (240 Aintree) – A very progressive, top class novice last term who could well just be too good for handicap company here today. Completed a hat trick last term before putting in a good performance behind Edwardstone and came to grief early in the Arkle to see out his season. Returns here upped in trip which should eek out a little more and looks to be on a fair mark despite heading the weights here.

Iwac: Amoola Gold £2.50 EW or 0.5pt EW 25/1 (B365 Free bet at Ascot offer) (315 Ascot) – Runner up in this race for two years running and due to some indifferent form since his run here last year, now finds himself at the bottom of the market for today’s renewal. Comes here some 6lb below his last winning mark however and some 10lb below last year’s attempt so is not without hope if able to bounce back for the Skelton yard. Blinkers on for the first time and his record of 2 wins and 2 placed runs from 6 over CD cannot be ignored.

Nap: Poppa Poutine 1pt win only 13/2 (1240 Haydock) – Still very early days for this one and looks the type who could develop into a very useful marathon chaser. Drops in grade here today and ought to be spot on for a big run having reappeared early for a run in September before last month’s run in the London Gold Cup at Ascot. Was far from disgraced that day and is well worth another try here in what looks an easier race.

Nnb: Ailie Rose £10 or 2pt win only 12/1 (Skybet money back offer) (225 Haydock) – A respectable 3rd behind the market leader on reappearance last month and despite this looking like a much deeper race, she is not without chance today. Has a whopping 13lb pull in the weights with Good Risk At All here today and should appreciate the step back up in trip given her previous form over further. This looks much tougher but she is weighted to put in a big run.

Nb: Fontaine Collonges 1pt win only 5/1 (335 Haydock) – Progressive looking sort who ended a good season with a very decisive win over an above average field at Lingfield in testing conditions. Has plenty of stamina in the makeup to suggest that this longer trip here today will bring about more improvement still and it will need to as she has been hit with a 10lb rise for that win. Comes here with the stable looking desperate for a win but they do normally come good around late November into December so that’s not too big a worry. Bags of potential.

Iwac: Vazir 1pt win only 11/1 (158 Huntingdon) – Fairly smartly bred individual who failed to convert some decent looking flat form over hurdles last term. Has not been seen since pulling up on handicap debut back in March but had previously hinted at ability in this sphere. Capable of far better than what has been seen to date and could well be a dark horse if Alan King has gotten to grips with him.

Complete Unknown 8/1 (225Haydock) – May need the run in a stiff looking contest and Paul Nicholls record in the race is very off putting so just a watch for now.

Domaine De L’Isle £10 or 2pt win only 14/1 (skybet money back offer) (220 Cheltenham) – Previous course winner who failed to show any sort of form last season. Has returned this term with a pleasing enough prep over hurdles and now sits on a very attractive mark switched back to fences. Needs to get back on track but sits 9lb below that course win which also came in the hands of Brian Hughes who gets the leg up today.

Thousand tears £5 or 1pt win only 12/1 (b365 Free Bet at Cheltenham) (255 Cheltenham) – Very difficult to get a handle on these Irish raiders sometimes but has the potential on best form to be a few lbs above the handicapper here for the connections that won this race back in 2020 with The Shunter. Emmet Mullins is always a force to be reckoned with with these types and is foolish to ignore.

Crambo 1pt win only 9/1 (400 Cheltenham) – One from the 50 To Follow who hasn’t really pulled up any trees in terms of what has been beaten in his two bumper wins to date but holds plenty of potential for further improvement in this sphere. Has looked to be just going through the motions on both occasions and more could be found if asked a serious question here today.

Premiumaccess 1pt win only 12/1 (205 Fontwell) – At first glance here today you would not give this one a chance being 6lb out of the handicap and stepping up markedly in grade. However he has already seen some money for the Tizzard yard and they are not to be ignored here at Fontwell with a record of 5 wins and 2 placed from 16 for a 35% strike. Has 5lb taken off by Harry Kimber who’s record for the yard is an impressive one, 5 wins and 1 placed run from 10 for a 50% strike. So the stats are stacking up and you don’t have to look to far back to see runs off a mark well above today’s that would put him in the mix.

Midnight Gold 1pt win only 12/1 (350 Fontwell) – Very little hinted at in terms of ability over in Ireland but has been brought by Neil Mulholland for his own racing club who have enjoyed a very good time of things with their runners here at Fontwell. Bit of a wild card and could be something or nothing but with a record of 6 wins and 1 placed from 17 for a 35% strike and with an LSP of +20 for the club at the track it would be silly not to have a nibble here on yard debut.
