Southwest Rail Solutions Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Skyjack Hijack

Captain Bellamy

CAPTAIN BELLAMY went backwards from an impressive debut success in bumpers, but he retains potential now switching to hurdling and first time up could be the time to catch him. Skyjack Hijack has to concede plenty of weights but he's thriving at present and warrants plenty of respect. Jack Black can build on an encouraging hurdling debut at Newbury 9 months earlier and merits consideration, also. 

goskydive.com Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Sorceleur

SORCELEUR, a progressive bumper performer, seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second here 17 days ago, so he's a straightforward choice. Wellington Arch is preferred to Yhpum's Law for forecast purposes. 

ICL Conscious Of Our Impact 'Future Stars' Silver Bowl Novices' Chase (GBB Race)

Captain Teague

Paul Nicholls has won 4 of the previous 6 renewals of this contest and he can enhance that excellent record further with CAPTAIN TEAGUE, who won half of his 4 starts over hurdles last season (including a Grade 1) and looks very much the type to make an impact in novice chases this term. Progressive hurdler Deafening Silence rates as the obvious danger also making his return/chase bow.

JPR One

Djelo

ETALON made giant strides forward following his switch to chasing last season, winning 3 times prior to shaping better than the bare result in Grade 1 company on his final start. Still unexposed and retaining potential for better still, he shades the vote on return, with Jpr One, who boasts a smashing record fresh, and Djelo heading up the dangers. 

ICL, Impact For A Sustainable Future 'Challenger' Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Asian Spice

Jaminska

ASIAN SPICE won twice at this venue last year and with last month's encouraging return under her belt, she's a solid alternative to Brendas Asking, who will doubtless be popular in the betting as a last-time-out winner. Of the rest, Miss Goldfire could improve now handicapping.

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Tightenourbelts

Beachcomber

A case can be made for a few of these but COCO MADEMOISELLE starts life in handicaps on an attractive mark so looks the way to go. Course-winner Striking A Pose rates the main threat to Dan Skelton's progressive sort, with Tightenourbelts, Beachcomber and Wiseguy all in the mix too in this competitive handicap. 

Southwest Rail Solutions Handicap Hurdle

Magic Seven

Sunninghill

Iris Des Issards

SUNNINGHILL was fair on the Flat and showed the benefit of his hurdling debut when an encouraging third in a novice at Uttoxeter last time, so he's worth a chance to make a successful early switch to handicaps from a potentially favourable mark. Juvenile Final Entry is an obvious threat and Centara is worthy of interest.

Fontwell

Broadsword Building Success Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Electric Mason

Laurens Bay

Gooloogong

Bumper-winners ELECTRIC MASON and Laurens Bay showed enough on their respective debut in this sphere to think they will be winning races sooner rather than later, with marginal preference for the Chris Gordon inmate. Ami Bondhu is also open to progress so needs considering. 

Nationwide Concreting Supporting The Rockbourne Partnership Handicap Chase

West Orchard

Jack Doyen

Leading Swoop

SAMAZUL impressed with how he jumped/travelled when making a winning chase debut here (17.8f) 16 days ago. He promises to do better still judged by the manner of that success and makes plenty of appeal back up in trip. Sir Rock, with a reappearance run over hurdles behind him, and Call Off The Dogs, who has landed 3 of his last 4 starts here, can provide chief resistance.

Nationwide Concreting Supporting The Wheel Inn Handicap Hurdle

Ri Na Cuirte

Craven Bay

Heaven Smart

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and CRAVEN BAY is fancied to defy another 4 lb rise in the weights and go 3-3 for Toby Lawes. Cartmel runner-up Fortuna Ligna appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Heaven Smart and Ri Na Cuirte. 

Nationwide Concreting Handicap Hurdle

Double Powerful

The 5-timer beckons for DOUBLE POWERFUL, who made mincemeat of another field of low-grade handicappers at Worcester last month and Neil Mulholland's 5-y-o is taken to defy a hefty 14 lb rise at the expense of Jilaijone, who remains without a win since his British debut (at this track) but ran creditably on his recent return at Cheltenham. French-recruit Kissman, who changed hands for €125,000 in July, rounds off the shortlist. 

30 Days For 1 At geegeez.co.uk Handicap Chase

Pawpaw

Safe Destination

EURKASH hasn't won for a good while but he's not had much racing for current connections and his latest effort over C&D suggests he's ready to strike, so he's preferred to last-time-out winner Safe Destination. Proper Twelve is of interest if the market speaks in his favour on debut for a new yard.

Broadsword Confidence In Construction Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Officer Of State

Lady Caro

Mavis Pike

OFFICER OF STATE hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles so far, but he has to be of interest now handicapping off this mark given the level of ability he showed for Andre Fabre on the Flat. Dreams Fled Away is taken to reverse recent Fakenham placings with Mavis Pike on these revised terms, while Lady Caro makes each-way appeal.

Hexham

First Class Catering From Falcons Events Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Return Fire

Kelce

Gibberwell

KELCE produced a near-fautless round of jumping when narrowly outpointed on his recent chase debut at Uttoxeter, and he will prove hard to beat off the same mark here (due to go up 3 lb for that effort) with improvement likely now moving up in trip. C&D winners Return Fire and Gipsy Lee Rose are taken to fill the places, in that order of preference, while chase-debutant Ange Endormi and Ocean Legacy are also worthy of consideration.

Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Fromheretoeternity

Sunset Hill

Likely to develop into a match between JUST CALL ME LUCY and Fromheretoeternity, with marginal preference for the former in receipt of 7 lb in the hope she takes to hurdling at the first attempt. 

At The Races App Form Study Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Chasingouttheblues

Kidman

Express Run

HELSGETAWAY showed plenty to work on when finishing midfield on hurdles debut at Wetherby 23 days ago and with that experience unlikely to be lost on him, he can find the requisite improvement and come out on top. Hurdles-debutant Shadowfax of Rohan and Chasingouttheblues are others to consider, along with the returning Kidman.

Sidgwick Memorial Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Dream Jet

Cases can be made for all the quintet, but the suggestion is CAITHNESS, who went down by a head to the race-fit The Churchill Lad on chasing debut over C&D 5 weeks ago and can turn the tables now 1 lb better off with that rival here. One More Stroke, who was runner-up on both starts in Irish points earlier in his career, rounds off the shortlist making his return/chase bow fitted in a tongue tie. 

bookiesbonuses.com Over 200 UK Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle

National Question

Blended Stealth

Forest Blaze

FOREST BLAZE has likely been brought along with handicaps in mind and his opening mark is lenient based on bumper form, so he gets the nod over fellow handicap debutant Mr Le Philosophe. National Question should also be considered after a solid showing at Newcastle 8 days ago.

mybettingsites.com Expert UK Bookie Reviews Handicap Hurdle

Twoplacesatonetime

Robert D'ores

Dequall

BERGENTOWN rates the pick of these weights on the back of his very good Sedgefield second so edges the vote in this very open handicap. The returning Fainche could emerge as the main danger now renuited with Brian Hughes, although Dequall, Twoplacesatonetime and Beat The Boum all need factoring in too.

Molinari

Prince Achille

Urban Road

The two that stand out are ISLE OF WOLVES and Molinari, both of whom are 6 lb 'well-in' under penalties following similarly emphatic recent victories at Nottingham and this course respectively. Though 0-24 on the all-weather, Harriet Bethell's charge has been placed 12 times on synthetics and he is marginally preferred. Walsingham is best of the rest.

Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Nursery

Bella Fortunata

Lima Sierra

The Nigel Tinkler-trained fillies ARIA'S DREAM and Lima Sierra hold the most appealing claims, with ready preference for the former who left her previous form well behind when going close over C&D three weeks ago. Bella Fortunata hasn't shown much in her qualifying runs but it wouldn't be the greatest of surprises were she to take a step forward now switched to a nursery.

Free Bets With BetUK Bet Club Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Cash In

SAFANAH has improved wih each of her three runs to date so Richard Fahey's filly is taken to go one better than her excellent recent Wolverhampton second. Cash In wasn't at his best when fifth at Catterick last time but still rates the main threat ahead of Instant Bond.  

Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Fillies' Handicap

Lincoln Legacy

KRISTAL KLEAR has been in excellent form and is well named in the context of this race as he should have too much for his rivals dropping back to a more suitable trip. Keep Me Stable is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and Lincoln Legacy isn't completely ruled out.

Win 1M With BetMGM's Golden Goals Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Sovereign Sea

SOVEREIGN SEA is related to a useful sort and cost plenty at the Breeze-Ups, so he's worth taking a chance on having been found a weak race to start out in. Tancredi should improve from his debut and looks the obvious danger.

Gamble Responsibly At BetUK Handicap

Hk Fourteen

Blackcurrent

Ninety Nine

Cheekpieces worked a treat when NINENTY NINE bounced back to form in no uncertain terms at Catterick 10 days ago and from just 2 lb higher, she must go close again if she's in a similar mood. HK Fourteen landed a notable gamble at Bath last week and followed up here on Thursday so is a huge threat if taking up this engagement, with Calafrio likely to be on the premises.

BetUK: It's Where The UK Bets Handicap

Fletchers Dream

Profit Street

Bellagio Man

The free-going TOO MUCH was well served by the drop back in trip when readily landing a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and, unexposed as a sprinter, she could well be up to defying the assessor and following up. Golden Duke and Bellagio Man are others to consider, as is 9-time C&D winner Athollblair Boy.

Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap

Trais Fluors

Volenti

Whatwouldyouknow

VOLENTI confirmed the promise of his recent efforts when landing an 11-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago and she could well be the answer turned out under a penalty. Trais Fluors' recent form figures don't inspire confidence but returned to this venue, he needs monitoring having fallen to a very attractive mark. Angel of Antrim and Whatwouldyouknow are others in with a shout.

Dundalk

William Hill Committed To Top Prices Maiden

Court Phoenix

Beatrix Power

Crystal Luna

BEATRIX POWER may have just found a 4-month absence catching her out when runner-up in a Navan maiden 16 days ago and she's worth another chance to get off the mark on polytrack debut. Mint Man's best form entitles him to respect, and he's feared, ahead of Twotolose and Court Phoenix, who were both narrowly behind the selection last time. 

William Hill More Top Prices Apprentice Handicap (47-75)

Come On The Lads

Glyde Ranger

Bright N Shine

Following a couple of non-completions over hurdles, COME ON THE LADS offered more back on the level at Galway 11 days ago and assuming he sees this trip out, the assessor has given him a major chance. Glyde Ranger was an easy winner here last week so has to command respect, with Velvet And Wine another to consider for place purposes. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden

Misappropriation

Dancing Teapot

Chocalho

Joseph O'Brien's CRADLE OF LOVE holds much the best form on show so is fancied to finally get off the mark on the back of her very good recent C&D third. Ger Lyons' Misappropriation could emerge as the main danger, with Chocalho and Stiorra also in the mix. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cooley Fillies Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Listed)

Sakti

Vivienda

Cloud Cover

A range of abilities on show with black type on offer. CLOUD COVER was a lot better the result at Southwell 3 weeks ago and already placed at this level, she looks the pick at the weights. Ger Lyons saddles 4 and has a couple of very live players in Sakti and Vivienda. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden

Fivefortwo

Plunder

Truth Be Told

FIVEFORTWO boasts a progressive profile and another upward move could be enough for him to land this. Truth Be Told is closely matched with the selection on form and North Ocean is a newcomer who catches the eye on paper.

William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap

Blue Soul

Hightimeyouwon

Punk Poet

Lots with chances but the vote goes to course-scorer PIER PRESSURE who can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D third. The handily-weighted Hightimeyouwon heads the list of dangers with handicap-debutant Black Storm also firmly in the picture. Sayifyouwill and Punk Poet complete the shortlist.  

William Hill Proper Betting Handicap (47-65) (Div 1)

Sky Bet paying 5 places instead of 3

Higher Kingdom

Man Is King

Feature This

It's been a while since HIGHER KINGDOM last hit the target, but he has slipped to a very dangerous mark as a result and left the strong impression that his turn may be near when a close fourth over 7f here three weeks ago. Stepping back up to a mile will be in his favour and he gets the nod ahead of Hurricane Helen and last week's C&D winner Comfort Line. Cases can also be made for Feature This and Sneddy Eddie.

William Hill Proper Betting Handicap (47-65) (Div 2)

Tribal Moon

Manhattan Dandy

Morning Approach

The vote goes to STORM ERIC, who has slipped to an attractive mark and should come on for his spin here a fortnight ago when returning from a four-month break. Exceeding is still a maiden following 16 attempts but produced arguably his best effort yet when when third over C&D last time and he will be a threat if able to build on that. Tara Power is third choice.

Fairview

Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Open Maiden (F & M)

String Of Lights

Serendipitous

Tune Again

SERENDIPITOUS looks the one to be with, but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Sweet Cake could give the selection most to think about, while Alpine Diamond comes into calculations for minor honours.

www.tab4racing.com Maiden Plate

Roll Of The Dice

Mayor Of Merrivale

Come On You Spurs

OLIVER TWIST failed to justify market expectations last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Roll Of The Dice looks the best bet for the runner-up spot, while Agamemnon might well have a say too.

Racehorse Owners Association Open Maiden (F & M)

Burn Bright

Take Your Time

Fire Festival

BURN BRIGHT is operating at a good level lately and is probably the one to beat. One Wish seems the leading challenger, while Angel Of My Heart has place prospects as well.

Racing240 For Racing. For You Mr 80 Handicap

Eyjafjallajokull

Cool Cat

Swiss Walt

COOL CAT has outstanding form claims and is a straightforward selection. Knockemstiff could be the answer to second spot, while My Ami Beach is prominent among those with minor place claims.

4racing.tv Mr 96 Handicap

The Mauritian

Donny Tee

Ledell's Echo

DONNY TEE continues in form and looks the one they all have to beat. The Mauritian is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Dr Faustus is prominent among those with minor place claims.

EUPHORIC is selected tentatively back in a handicap off a very fair mark. Karoo Gold can also play a significant part, while Catch Your Breath is another with a place chance.
