Kym Eyre 1pt win only 12/1 (355 Ffos Las) – Ran well enough switched to these bigger obstacles last time out when not given a hard time and is of more interest today stepped up in trip. Looks to be crying out for this extra yardage and could well improve markedly today. Might want a little more give in the ground however but hopefully that won’t be a deciding factor.

Puddlesinthepark 1pt win only 8/1 (245 Ffos Las) – Enters handicap company today for the first time from what looks to be a fair mark. Gets a much needed step up in trip for this handicap debut and we ought to see some improvement on his runs to date.

Copper Cove 1pt win only 14/1 (430 Ffos Las) – Quickly switched to handicaps following a very pleasing run in a race that looks to be holding a good level of form. Still learning and could show further improvement today. Not been found the easiest of opportunities but is priced accordingly and offers excellent value.

Ironic Rock 1pt win only 16/1 (505 Ffos Las) – Took a heavy fall last year over CD when looking likely to run into a place. That race looked to hold a fair level of form much higher than what we see today. Has moved yards and returned from almost a year off the track with a tame effort at Uttoxeter. That race looked a little explorative and the yard would have been fairly pleased given it was at a much shorter trip than ideal. Will be much fitter coming here with the yard bang in form and looks to have been found a decent chance to bounce back.

Wye Aye 1pt win only 16/1 (410 Huntingdon) – Has been running well over the bigger obstacles but has looked to be a little exposed of late. Switches back to hurdles here and is far less exposed from a lower mark and would not be without chance for a yard and connections that do well at the track. Yard are 5 from 16 for a 31% strike here in the last 5 years with a LSP of +48 and connections are 2 wins and 2 placed from 5 when coming here.

Onemorefortheroad 1pt win only 11/2 (325 Newbury) – CD winner who has been running in much better company of late. Has fallen down the weights as a result of those recent exploits and now sits 3lb below his last win which was that run over CD. Bryony Frost takes over in the saddle and that in itself is noteworthy for these connections. She is 3 wins and 2 placed from 5 runs for a 60% strike for these connections with an LSP of +17

Mahons Glory 1pt win only 8/1 (300 Kelso) – Struck at the first time of asking for this new yard and followed that up with a very pleasing run over 3 mile at Doncaster last time out. Back down in trip today having travelled strongly for a long way over that longer trip last time out and has to hold excellent chances again now back down in grade. Both races since joining this yard have worked out pretty well. Yard don’t often venture this far North but have a decent strike rate when doing so of around 25%.

Hoe Joly Smoke 1pt win only 14/1 (225 Kelso) – Has shaped pretty well in both starts to date under rules and will be open to plenty of improvements for this top yard. Will need to step up however on those recent runs, but they have come in decent races and i get the feeling that we are yet to see the best of this Skelton trained youngster who will appreciate this step back up in trip today.

L’Eau Du Sud 1pt win only 9/1 (150 Kelso) – A very useful hurdler over in France and has gone well enough in his first two runs since joining the Skelton’s. Will no doubt step up again on what we have seen and will need to stepping into a very decent looking race here but looks to be one who may have slipped under the radar slightly for a top stable who have a fantastic record in this type of event

Give Me A Cuddle 1pt win only 8/1 (425 Doncaster) – A winner over CD back in January but failed to follow that up last time out at Taunton. Can be forgiven that run which possibly came too soon over an inadequate trip and is of more interest again here back up in trip with conditions to suit. Connections have enjoyed success at the track with 2 winners and 5 placed efforts from 10 runners for a 70% place strike.

Excelcius 1pt win only 25/1 (355 Muss) – Useful over hurdles in Ireland for Thomas Mullins but has offered little in 4 starts for this new yard so far. Has been running in slightly better company than this however and a return to better ground today could help to turn around his fortunes. Mark has fallen to one that he should be winning from and gets an additional 7lb off in the hands of a talented claimer.

Le Coeur Net 1pt win only 8/1 (310 Winc) – Not been seen in the winners enclosure since Nov 2020 but put in a couple of decent efforts to place around this time last year. Will need to bounce back from a couple of lesser performances but gets a massive chance from the handicapper with a further 5lb drop in the weights. Gets an additional 7lb taken off by todays claimer who coincidentally is 2 wins from 3 rides for this in form yard.

Flagrant Delitiep 1pt win only 9/1 (345 Winc) – 8lb lower than when winning this race last year but that comes as a result of a few below par performances. Latest 3rd here over CD just 11 days ago offered signs of encouragement and we take a chance today that he is in good form having been turned out quickly. A further 7lb is taken off by Freddie Gordons claim putting him 15lb below last years winning mark.

Mikhailovich 1pt win only 7/1 (415 Winc) – Had failed to live up to the promise shown in his bumper run last April, a race that has worked out pretty strongly since but did put in a much improved effort last time out behind a couple of decent looking sorts from the Nicholls and Henderson yards. Makes handicap debut here today from a mark that he should be more than capable of exploiting

Design Icon 1pt win only 7/2 (200 Warwick) – A little slow to find his form since returning from a lengthy absence but put in a much more encouraging run last time out when runner up over a similar trip at Southwell. Gets the same quicker conditions today and despite the 3lb rise ought to go well once more. Todays conditional is 6 from 14 for this yard for a 42% strike with a LSP of +23.

Precious Eleanor 1pt win only 7/2 (300 Warwick) – CD winner who has acquitted herself very well in a couple of very good handicaps on her latest outings. Both those runs possibly came in not ideal conditions and this Henry Daly trained mare could go one better today back on quicker ground.

Gwencily berbas 1pt win only 15/2 (315 Exeter) – CD winner who has unplaced in his last 7 starts but a return to this marathon trip on quicker ground could be the key to getting back to winning ways. Put in a good run at Sandown for the London National and has now fallen to a mark some 10lb below that run which would put him bang there today in this much weaker looking field.

Eros 1pt win only 6/1 (410 Warwick) – Still a maiden after 16 attempts since coming to the UK. Comes here however having put in a much improved run last time out behind a progressive sort who has won again comfortably since from a 5lb higher mark. This one looks ready to take advantage of his reduced mark and there won’t be many better opportunities than this with the yard amongst the winners.

Keable 1pt win only 7/2 (417 Exeter) – Has shaped with plenty of promise in two starts over hurdles so far including when runner up last time out behind a decent looking sort from the Skelton yard. Will appreciate every yard of this step up in trip on handicap debut and goes from what looks to be a fair opening mark. Yard are going well at present and they have been profitable to follow here at Exeter in the last 12 months. Will eventually make up into a good staying chaser but should be capable of picking up races of this magnitude even at this early stage.

Nb: Bertie B 1pt win only 6/1 (325 Huntingdon) – Won a bumper on good ground and should improve on his recent runs now switched to handicaps. Opening mark looks to be fairly lenient on that bumper run and despite carrying top weight this one can get his head in front here. Connections are pretty shrewd and todays claimer has a good record riding for them with 7 wins from 29 runs for a 24% strike with a LSP of +16 so they are also profitable to follow.

IWAC: First Man 1pt win only 9/1 (315 Sedgefield) – Missed the whole of last season but proved that he retains his ability with a pleasing run over hurdles back in January. Disappointing over the bigger obstacles last time out and quickly reverts back to the timber for the in form Oliver Greenall. Trip should prove to be no issue and now sits some 11lb below his last wining mark. Yard are 6 from 23 in the last 14 days for a 26% strike over that period and their record at the track in the last 12 months reads 7 wins and 3 placed from 20 for a 35% strike with a LSP of +29 so again profitable to follow

Nnb: Tanrudy 1pt win only 11/2 (205 Sedgefield) – Yard had a host of entries on this card earlier in the week but send just this one on race day. He has been on a long losing run but hinted at a possible return to form last time out with a pleasing run in a race that has since produced winners. That was only a second outing following 508 days off the track so he will be entitled to be much fitter for that run. Yard have around a 21/22% strike at the track and are another profitable one to follow with a +20 LSP here over the last 5 years. They have also been amongst the winners lately with 3 from 16 in the last two weeks.

Nap: Joie De Vivre 1pt win only 13/2 (130 Sedgefield) – A respectable 4th here back in November when making his chase debut and goes here today some 5lb lower having finished midfield in his only run since which came over timber. Quickly switched back to fences and offers plenty to work with for a yard who have 6 wins and 3 placed efforts from just 13 runners here over the past 12 months for a 46% strike with a LSP of +15 over that same period. They send just this one runner today.

Outsider: Glimpse Of Gold 1pt win only 18/1 (425 Sedgefield) – Has struggled slightly in much deeper company of late but is worth another try despite the lack of market confidence today. 6lb below his last winning mark and getting ideal conditions dropping back down in trip. Not without hope at a big price.

Samtara 1pt win only 22/1 (522 Ludlow) – Without a win in 19 races but has gone close finishing runner up on 3 of his starts so is not without hope. Has had a failed spell over fences and didn’t appear to get home over 3m last time out so is of more interest dropping back in trip today from a much reduced mark and with the additional 10lb claim of todays jockey. Hooded for the first time and will run from a mark of just 96 with his claim factored in and has finished a close second previously from 112. Freshened up and has run well fresh in the past.

Megalodon 1pt win only 8/1 (452 Ludlow) – Down to a basement mark following 14 runs without a return. Has however run with some promise on occasion and cannot be ignored with his yard amongst the winners this week already. Was forced to run from out of the Handicap last time at Hereford but looked like he was coming back to some sort of form. Wears Blinkers for the first time today and is now some 18lb below that last winning mark.

Prince De Juilley 0.5pt EW 40/1 (420 Ludlow) – Points winner who was purchased for 48k by this shrewd outfit. Well beaten on his first two starts under rules and will most likely have more to offer long term but its worth noting how well this yard does in these parts and they are often winning when unexpected. Ought to be able to offer more now stepped up in trip so we take a chance at today’s odds.

Head To The Stars 1pt win only 12/1 (345 Ludlow) – Henry Daly needs no introductions here at Ludlow and neither does this 3 times CD winner. Was in contention and looking to lay down a strong challenge last time out before making a huge error ending all chances of the win. Todays jockey is 5 wins and 2 placed from 12 runs for the yard in the last 12 months for a 41% strike with a LSP of +20 in that same period.

Column Of Fire 0.5pt EW 66/1 (225 Doncaster) – Struggled on his last two starts over in Ireland for Gordon Elliot and is probably best watched here today on his first start for his new yard. At these odds however we are willing to take a small chance. Three places are available with just 7 runners offering slightly better than normal place chances. A once very promising hurdler for the Gigginstown stud who was looking like a sure fire winner of the Martin Pipe 3 years ago before coming to grief late on. Has been nowhere near the same horse since that day having a failed spell over fences and being pulled up on his last 2 starts. This change of scenery could however bring about a return to some form of form and if it does (big if) then todays mark would be laughable.

Bluebella 1pt win only 11/1 (410 Doncaster) – Poor form in 3 runs over 2 miles so far but is of much more interest now stepping into handicap company for the first time and stepping up in trip. A very well bred individual who should be able to get involved from this very low mark today. Yard do well here and have been in great form of late.

Light In The Sky 0.5pt EW 22/1 (4 places skybet) (310 Ludlow) – Took a big step back in the right direction last time out in a race that has since started to work out pretty well. Back down in trip here today which is a big plus and looks to have been found a decent opportunity to get back to winning ways.

Presenting A Queen 1pt win only 9/2 (215 Market Rasen) – Winner of two bumpers and a novice hurdle for this red hot yard who have a 41% strike rate in the last 14 days. Despite the successes so far does not look harshly treated by her opening mark and another big run can be expected for a yard that can do little wrong this term.

Boombawn 1pt win only 11/2 (330 Taunton) – Didn’t put his best foot forward last time out when upped in grade. A change of tactics could have been to blame but could well have just blown out having had 3 runs in quick succession. Been freshened up with a break before this and ought to be able to get involved on his best form to date from this slightly reduced mark.

All Dancer 1pt win only 6/1 (300 Taunton) – Will need todays longer trip to bring about some improvement but the breeding certainly suggests that it could well just do that. Has not run badly in defeat and will be sure to get a good ride back in the hands of Harry Cobden. Yard are going well and have a near 40% strike rate at the track in the last 12 months

Dancing Harry 1pt win only 11/4 (230 Taunton) – Some fairly useful flat form and could well be thrown in here from todays opening mark. Has the potential to be way ahead of the handicapper. Well bred and could go on to much bigger things.

First Account 1pt win only 9/1 (215 Carlisle) – Yet to be outside of the placings under Brian Hughes and he is back on board here for what looks a lively chance of getting his head in front for the champion jockey. Still relatively unexposed in this sphere and comes here having slipped down the weights to a very attractive mark despite not doing much wrong. Gets preferred conditions and should go well again.

Killane 1pt win only 11/1 (245 Carlisle) – CD winner from this mark last March and comes here with conditions looking favourable. Will be entitled to come on for his latest outing when not given a hard time of things. Will need to step up on that run however as he was beaten a long way out so there are risks involved. Conditions that day would not have helped either.

Tile Tapper 1pt win only 11/2 (315 Carlisle) – Has been running in better company than what he faces here and is certainly worth another try down in grade from what still looks to be a winnable mark. Still unexposed at this trip and should run another big race here.

Up For Parol 1pt win only 9/2 (350 Carlisle) – Third in the Lanzarote on reappearance and holds very strong claims dropping markedly in grade and with the aide of a talented 10lb claimer. Yard do well in these parts and don’t waste much ammo so expect a big run from this 3 times hurdle winner who gets his conditions here.

Kiss My Face 1pt win only 8/1 (425 Carlisle) – Ran well on his only start at this longer trip and on that evidence does not look harshly treated here. Can go well once more with conditions in favour.

Five Dollar Fine 1pt win only 9/2 (205 Kelso) – A winner over 3m in points races so out to be able to step up on previous performances now tackling a little bit further. Last two runs at Newcastle have been pretty pleasing and they have come in races that has a pretty decent form line for this sphere. Connections do very well here and we have the champion jockey on board today. Doesn’t look harshly treated for this handicap debut.

Think Trigger 1pt win only 10/1 (150 Lingfield) – Placed here twice last summer over further but has not been seen since. Has the potential to be a bit of a handicap blot on this reappearance but will need to be match fit dropping back in trip. Mark looks ahead of the handicapper on best of his form and comes here from a shrewd local yard. Goes in blinkers for the first time.

San Isidro 1pt win only 16/1 (220 Lingfield) – Not very appealing on his 3 British starts to date but drops markedly in class here today having been given a chance by the handicapper. Unexposed at this trip and in very good hands for the Owners Group. Bit of a wildcard but a chance we are willing to take. Any money could be significant.

Be Fair 1pt win only 6/1 (450 Lingfield) – Another that looks well treated on best form. Has fallen foul of a couple of pretty awful draws in his last couple of races and is of more interest here from todays mark and with the extra 3lb claim of talented claimer Mollie Phillips. Previous CD winner who goes well at the track.

Jack Leslie 0.5pt EW 40/1 (150 Lingfield) – Has the potential to be a handicap blot for connections that do very well here.
