SKY BET PAYING 4 PLACES INSTEAD OF 3

Wilful

Kingston James

Maghlaak

STATIC shaped well in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and is given a chance to build on that promise now taking on largely older rivals. The two at the top of the weights Liari and Lario arrive in form for powerful Southern yards and should get involved, while an unexposed profile gives recent Musselburgh scorer Inappropriate the scope for better again. 

Abbott Risk Consulting Ltd Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Roxanne

Green Sky

IRISH CHORUS was in control when falling at the last in a maiden at Doncaster on her most recent outing and this looks a good opportunity to gain compensation providing she's none the worse. Roxanne is an interesting newcomer to hurdling given her fairly useful Flat form, and is feared most ahead of Green Sky, who has a bit to prove having run poorly on her last 2 starts. 

Get Home Safe With Thistle Cabs Handicap Hurdle

SKY BET PAYING 5 PLACES INSTEAD OF 3

Billy Boi Blue

Ace Of Spades

Pounding Poet

Marginal preference in this cracking handicap is for Dan Skelton's progressive ACE OF SPADES who posted a very good fourth on his handicap bow at Kelso last time and should find this first go over 3m also to his benefit. I Am Max rates a big threat on the back of his excellent recent third at the same track, while handicap debutant Histronic and in-form trio Imperial Merlin, Gaillimh A Stor and Kintail all need factoring in too. Belvedere Blast completes the shortlist. 

Hillhouse Quarry Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Riskintheground

Will Carver

Vintage Fizz

It was around this time last year that RISKINTHEGROUND sprouted wings and, having shaped as though close to concert pitch at Newbury last time, he could be the answer. Leader In The Park wasn't able to get the job done when bidding for the hat-trick at Kelso but he did well under the circumstances and remains of interest. He is second choice ahead of Vintage Fizz, who performed with great credit in the Grand Sefton on his latest start. Crebilly is also in with a shout.

SEKO Logistics Scotland Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Asta La Pasta

Cases can be made for all the quintet, but the suggestion is TORNEO, who is a 5-y-o on the up and Jamie Snowden's youngster is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride. Asta La Pasta didn't jump so well under a new rider last month but reunited with his regular pilot, he can give the selection most to think about. From The Clouds has the physique to suggest that he should come into his own as a chaser, so he completes the shortlist. 

Coral Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

The Four Sixes

Florida Dreams

I Love My Baie

NURSE SUSAN went with plenty of enthusiasm on her return in the Martin Pipe last month and makes fair appeal with that run under her belt. Red Risk and Florida Dreams are feared most. 

Jardine Utilities Race To Repair 'Hands & Heels' Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals/Amateurs)

Summergrounds

Below The Radar

The Jeweller's Pet

There may be more to come from the lightly-raced OUT OUT over this longer trip and he can go one better than last time. Il Va de Soi drops in grade and could have a say if bouncing back from a disappointing run, while Below The Radar isn't ruled out if building on a more encouraging effort at Uttoxeter last month.

Newbury

Dubai Duty Free Golf World Cup EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Inca Heights

Private Affair

Vinciamo

The pick of several likely-looking types could prove to be SIREN SUIT, who is out of Angel's Hideaway (Group 3 winner at 2 yrs for these connections) and he shades preference ahead of Private Affair and Sweet Lord, both of whom tick plenty of the right boxes on paper. Inca Heights and Vinciamo are also interesting.

Bridget 'Confined' Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Consecrated

Breckenbrough

Woroodd

William Haggas has won this twice in recent years so CONSECRATED, a half-sister to connections' smart Sacred, who won on debut, gets the vote before any market pointers are known. Cajole, an ownermate of the selection, Breckenbrough and Rajinoora are other likely types on paper. 

Dreweatts Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB/GBB Plus Race)

Serenity Prayer

Lady Ridgewood

Queen Of Thieves

Given her pedigree and connections, QUEEN OF THIEVES is sure to do much better as a 3-y-o and tackling a more suitable trip, she can leave last autumn's debut form well behind. She may have most to fear from the newcomers, with Serenity Prayer and Lady Randolph of particular interest. 

Darley EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/GBB Plus Race)

Gethin

Saddadd

Marnier

Lots of potential on show here, not least Andrew Balding's son of New Bay FALCONER who really impressed when making a winning start at Nottingham last autumn and can return in style here. Owen Burrows' Gethin also went in at the first time of asking at Nottingham last backend and rates the main danger, although the Gosdens' Cracksman newcomer Dangerman commands plenty of respect along with the progressive Saddadd. 

Compton Beauchamp Estates Ltd Silver Bar Handicap (GBB Plus Race)

Moon Over Miami

Charging Thunder

MOON OVER MIAMI had little go right at Lingfield on his most recent outing and it will be something of a surprise if he doesn't have a bigger performance in his locker given how he shaped at Kempton on his penultimate outing, so he earns the vote. Charging Thunder has been thriving for James Owen and remains well treated on old form, with Blazeon Five another to consider in an interesting affair. 

Dubai Duty Free Full Of Surprises Handicap

Back In Black

Shout

Spell Master

Varying degrees of readiness will be on show with all bar one making their seasonal return. Preference before market clues is for SPIRIT OF FARHH, who bumped into some useful sorts on his first couple of outings and made it third time lucky comprehensively in a big-field maiden here back in October. Huscal is a potential improver now handicapping so he heads up the dangers, along with Shout and recent winner I Maximus. 

Dubai Duty Free Handicap

Havanagreattime

Change Sings

Photosynthesis

Preference is for CHANGE SINGS, who boasts a fine strike rate in sprint handicaps and made a highly encouraging return at Kempton last month. Havana Pusey and Chief Mankato head the list of dangers. 

Fontwell

BetGoodwin Best Odds Guaranteed Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Twist Of Fatecatch

Maillot Vert

TWIST OF FATECATCH stepped up on his achievements in bumpers when an encouraging second on C&D hurdles debut 25 days ago and a repeat could well be enough to see him go one place better. Maillot Vert and Master Dunraven can chase him home.

BetGoodwin Online Bookies Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

SKY BET PAYING 3 PLACES INSTEAD OF 2

Sherborne

Jupiter Des Bordes

Claims can be made for plenty here with the vote in favour of JUPITER DES BORDES. Richard Hobson's 6-y-o has shaped with plenty of promise on 2 of his 3 chase tries since switched to these shores and the return to this longer trip very much looks in his favour. Sherborne, Korus and Nollyador may emerge as the chief threats.

BetGoodwin Handicap Hurdle

He's A Latchico

Hey Mister Dj

Diesel Line

WASTHATOK produced his best effort yet since joining Kerry Lee when runner-up at Ffos Las 21 days ago, likely he'd been seen to even better effect granted a stronger gallop. He's fallen to a workable mark and can confirm the promise of that run. He's A Latchico is another of interest with a reappearance run under his belt. Diesel Line and Staff Sergeant Len are low-mileage in handicaps and also need factoring in.

BetGoodwin Super Tommy Cannon Handicap Hurdle

Batwomen

A case of sorts can be made for all 5 but KALIF D'AIRY has been knocking fairly loudly on the door of late and he can gain a deserved success back in a handicap. Honneur d'Ajonc landed the odds in selling company recently and can remain competitive, with drying ground potentially in Batwomen's favour. 

Bet Clever BetGoodwin Handicap Chase

Jack Sparrow Grey

Ivane

Fine Investment

James Owen's new recruit IVANE was quick to make his mark over hurdles at Southwell and can follow up now sent back over fences with the prospect of plenty more to come now wtth this excellent yard. Fine Investment could emerge as the main threat on the back of a recent success here, with Extraordinary Man and Kap Auteuil also in the picture.   

BetGoodwin Free Bet Nose Losers Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Bluenose Belle

Arenas Del Tiempo

BLUENOSE BELLE has offered enough in her recent qualifying runs to think a low-grade handicap such as this could be within her grasp. Bobbigrey didn't come close to justifying market support on her handicap debut in November but a break since suggests something came to light and she remains exposed and could provide the chief threat. 

Huntingdon

Purchase Hospitality At Huntingdon Racecourse 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Whatsyourproblem

Bongo Man

WHATSYOURPROBLEM has to bounce back from a poor effort at Fontwell but this race does provide the perfect opportunity for him to do so. Bongo Man is the obvious forecast call, though Vera Hobbs isn't a forlorn hope on hurdles debut. 

Join The 20 Club At Huntingdon Racecourse Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Cuban Court

Greenways

Thriving of late, recent C&D winner CUBAN COURT can defy a 3 lb rise and record his third win in 5 starts. Greenways has solid claims having bounced straight back to form returned to hurdles last time, while El Rayo is an interesting contender on handicap debut.

The Wise Traveller

Jack The Savage

THE WISE TRAVELLER failed to come on for his recent run when beating only one home in a small-field handicap at Sedgefield last week, but he's too well handicapped to ignore and a return to his favoured track could see him revive. Jack The Savage is proving consistent and seems sure to on the premises once more if seeing out the longer trip, with Kazontherazz also feared. 

Advertise Your Business At Huntingdon Racecourse Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Hurricane Bay

HYSTERY BERE found only a rejuvenated, dual subsequent scorer too strong on his first crack at this trip over C&D in January and he's fancied to make his presence felt again having been nudged up 2 lb on the back of that. The Wolf similarly arrives in form and is feared. Statuario can also be expected to fare better returned to the larger obstacles.

Buy General Admission In Advance Novices' Handicap Chase

Sangiovese

Getupearly

If the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect GETUPEARLY will surely go close, now 8 lb below the mark off which he found just one too good in a couple of handicap chases during the autumn. Sangiovese is not one to rely on but if he backs up his latest effort he will be a threat, while The Whistle Blower is also accorded respect now pitched into a handicap.

Book Your Christmas Party At Huntingdon Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Glance At Midnight

The Boss Bear

This will likely go to a newcomer, with LOR EXPRESS preferred to Havefunontherun and The Boss Bear before any betting clues are known. 

Sedgefield

Download The betvickers.com App Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Sage Conseil

Solent Gateway

A tricky contest to solve despite the small field but WILLIE SHAKE HANDS has gone down by very narrow margins the last twice, so Sam England's 6-y-o gets the nod to go one better at the expense of Sage Conseil, who left his hurdling debut effort behind when finding just one too good at Roscommon last summer and may have to settle for silver again on return. Maggies Boy looks best of the rest. 

Sign Lead Your Horse To Water Handicap Chase

Royal Max

Conquer The Breeze

FEARLESS ACTION wasn't disgraced in a higher grade last time and can come good again back at the scene of last month's win. Mutual Respect is the obvious danger after returning from a break with a decent run at Market Rasen just under 4 weeks ago. 

MW Michael Watson Paving & Groundworks Handicap Hurdle

Trailblazer

Lawmans Blis

PUB CRAWL really should be winning races in this sphere from his lowly mark given his Flat form and having finished runner-up over C&D when last seen in October, it's worth siding with him on return. Trailblazer and Lawmans Blis seem likely to give their running, which should ensure they are bang there in this grade.

Play Like A Stockton Rocket Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Chemical Warfare

Hostile Hotelier

CHEMICAL WARFARE found the marathon trip of the Eider Chase too much at Newcastle last time but has enjoyed an amazing season and now dropped back in distance he can bag a seventh success at the chief expense of recent Chepstow scorer Redbridge Rambler. Hostile Hotelier appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours. 

Bet 10 Get 10 At betvickers.com Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Feach Amach

Lillistar

Vanilla Dancer

VANILLA DANCER fared about as well as could be expected from out of the weights at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago and back on her correct mark in an easier race, she could be the answer. This trip is more suitable than Taunton for Chosen Hero so she could bounce back, while Suitably Surprised may resume her progress this term. 

JK Construction Handicap Chase

Beny Nahar Road

Pure Surf

The in-form HOLD ONTO THE LINE has fewer questions to answer than his rivals and he looks the most solid option. That said, Beny Nahar Road promises to be suited by this step up in trip and will be a threat if his jumping passes the test. Pure Surf got the job done at Newcastle recently but she has more on her plate with a penalty to carry here.

Paxtons No1 CaseIH Dealer In UK&Ireland Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Swingingonthesteel

Mr Mcloughlan

SWINGINGONTHESTEEL sets a good standard here and can register his second bumper victory in the finale. Jennie Candlish's debutant Swingforthefence may provide the chief threat. 

Ballinrobe

Bowers Bar & Restaurant Mares Maiden Hurdle

Miss Corby

Pure Logic

Bearami Creek

PURE LOGIC showed more than enough in bumpers to suggest that a race of this nature will be within her grasp, provided of course that she takes to hurdles at the first attempt. Next on the list is Baroness Orczy, who left her debut run behind when seventh in a big-field Naas maiden recently and she is open to further improvement. Final Decision and Mile End are others to consider.

Tim Kelly (C & G) Maiden Hurdle

Arch Empire

Yoradreamer

Holy See

There should be more to come from ARCH EMPIRE, who made a pleasing start for Gordon Elliott ar Navan last month. He gets the nod. Yoradreamer and Holy See look the likeliest dangers. 

McGrath Limestone Works Handicap Hurdle

Impero

Extrapolation

Baltic Bird

IMPERO was progressive over hurdles earlier in the season and having been pitched in the deep end last time, he may be able to regain the winning thread back down in class. Zoffanien is on a long losing run but shaped as though he might be building up to something on his latest run, while Extrapolation should be spot on for this return to hurdles following a spin on the Flat 9 days ago.

BoyleSports Supporting Irish Racing Mares Handicap Hurdle

Straight Home

Jolie Jewel

Burvea

This step back up in trip will help MISS LIA, who was undone by the drop back to 2m when returning from a seven-week break at Clonmel and she is on a potentially handy mark. Jolie Jewel and Ad Caelum, placed in handicaps at Cork and Thurles respectively last month, rate the main dangers, while Straight Home also enters calculations and handicap debutante Rachel's Secret, who landed a Clonmel maiden recently, is another with possibilities in a competitive race.

Sherry Fitzgerald Mayo Handicap Hurdle (0-100)

SKY BET PAYING 6 PLACES INSTEAD OF 4

It's Time Again

The Vegas Raider

Klassman

This looks wide open and with that in mind a chance is taken on ARDFERT MARY. Given a break following a lesser effort at Clonmel in January, the return to a quicker surface looks in her favour and the pick of her efforts suggest she can make an impact from this sort of mark. Restless Son, Klassman and It's Time Again are others to consider. Winter Carnival completes the shortlist.

Lodge At Ashford Castle Handicap Hurdle

Tomas O Maille

Love Like This

Leading Endeavour

Following a good second over hurdles on his penultimate start, STEALTHY TOM again ran well in a Cross-Country event on his most recent run 67 days ago. Operating from a considerably lower hurdles mark, he can confirm recent promise and come out on top. Paul Collins boasts a less exposed profile than most and rates a danger back up in trip, with Knockbrack Rambler another fancied to be thereabouts.

John Madden & Sons Flat Race

Jules Winfield

Isabella Johnson

Shabra Diya

The betting will be revealing but Sam Curling usually targets this race and his LEOPARD D'IRLANDE looks interesting before any further clues. Blazing Duke has to be respected, while Facile Ocean, who was well backed when showing a bit in a messy race on debut for Thomas Mullins 2 months ago, could fare a lot better this time. Springhill Warrior would be an obvious player if getting a run.

Dundalk

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden

Leblon Beach

First Approach

Coolmore have won this twice in recent years with newcomers by No Nay Never and MISSION CENTRAL, with Ryan Moore up, gets the vote over First Approach. Mina Bonita made a promising start at Cork on Sunday and could go close with that under her belt.

Saturday 12th July Ladies Day At Dundalk Stadium Handicap (0-60)

Carrigans Grove

Beano Power

Jackandthefox

Winning form is in very short supply here, with BEANO POWER awarded the tentative vote having stuck to her task pretty well over C&D a month ago. Rattletheonionbag is a definite threat, along with She's Smart with her reappearance under her belt. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden

Jorge Alvares

Temperance

Despite failing to justify favouritism, JORGE ALVARES made a perfectly satisfactory start for new connections at Bellewstown last week and with blinkers fitted back down in trip, he looks the one to beat. Ze Do Asfalto and Temperance are the obvious threats unless Heaven's Wish is backed on debut.
