Nunns Isuzu Subaru And Mazda Grimsby Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Typhoon Flyer

Inishnabro

Sun Art

As a half-brother to a Welsh Grand National winner it could be that SPIRIT OF KINSALE will also be at his best when eventually tackling the larger obstacles and faced with a stiffer test. Still, there is enough in his pedigree to suggest that there will be races to be won with him over hurdles in the meantime and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Typhoon Flyer is feared most, while Kingsley and Sun Art can both be expected to leave their debut form well behind in time.

Rula Bula

Fireball Frenzy

Zarhanya

Given the level of ability she showed in bumpers, RULA BULA will likely prove hard to beat now upped in trip for this hurdles debut, provided of course that her jumping passes the test. Natus Vincere was a clear-cut winner of an Irish maiden point and she is respected given her status as that of an unknown quantity, while Zarhanya showed definite signs of ability in a Cheltenham bumper during the spring and she could be seen in a better light now hurdling and faced with a stiffer test.

Montregard

KELCE has produced two bold front-running performances since tackling the larger obstacles and he is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Forget Montregard's chase debut display at Wetherby, as this half-brother to top-class performer Protektorat will likely leave that form well behind here and he is the clear main danger. Moon Hunter has the ability to feature if responding well to the first-time headgear but Inoui Machin's debut effort over fences was somewhat inauspicious.

Eyed

Zmiinyi

Caro Des Flos

EYED couldn't match strides with Camino Rocio on debut for Hughie Morrison at Wincanton but, with the winner going in again off a 7 lb higher mark at Huntingdon this week, that form looks solid. The 7-y-o is taken to go one better here. Kankin did little wrong when runner-up at Plumpton last time and he should go well. Zmiinyi is interesting now switched to fences and merits respect, along with each-way players Caro des Flos, The Electrician and Unwanted Attention.

In Loving Memory Of Eileen Brough Handicap Hurdle

Bread And Butter

Gilbertina

BREAD AND BUTTER capitalised on a falling mark with something to spare in a conditionals race at Hereford 10 days ago and, having escaped a penalty, he's worth a chance to go in again under the same rider. Tribal Glory and Kosasiempre look the main dangers.

Enjoy Your Christmas Party At The Races Handicap Hurdle

Happy Index

Geordie Night

Ithaka

Last-time-out winners HAPPY INDEX and No Worries could dominate this, with preference for the former, who is the less exposed of the pair. Western Glen has been holding her form well and should make her presence felt if none the worse for a recent fall here.

Taunton

Royal Oak At Hillcommon Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Jet Of Dreams

An excellent opportunity for the in-form JET OF DREAMS to resume winning ways up against a chase debutant who offered little on his comeback over hurdles last month. 

County Stores Remember Cyborgo Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

American Land

Phoenix Risen

Galactic Glow

Having run well to finish placed on his first 2 starts over fences for new connections this summer, MORDRED hasn't been seen to best effect on each of his last 2 starts in that sphere. He could be worth chancing switched back to timber, with Ugo Bingo and American Land a couple of the likelier dangers. Phoenix Risen is another not dismissed back at this venue.

South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Jukebox Annie

TUXEDO JUNCTION stepped up a little on his hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a big-field novice at Wincanton 18 days ago and, with further progress in the offing, he looks the way to go. 10-y-o Kauto The King is better known as a fair handicap chaser but may well emerge as the chief threat returned to smaller obstacles. 

South West Rail Solutions Ltd Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Alexei

GORE POINT got firmly back on track after 10 months off when making all in a 5-runner Stratford bumper 38 days ago and he gets the narrow vote now hurdling with his yard continuing amongst the winners. Tout Sur Moi remains open to improvement in this sphere and has to be factored in. Alexei, a fairly useful, multiple winner on the level in Germany also commands respect, particularly if strong in the betting on debut for Joe Tizzard. 

South West Rail Solutions Ltd Handicap Chase

School For Scandal

Jony Max

SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL isn't the most reliable but he held off subsequent winner Jony Max by 1½ lengths at Wincanton 4 weeks ago and is 5 lb better off with that rival here. Lock Out is worth another chance to build on his winning return having had excuses at Hereford. 

Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Chabadatika

Linda Moon

GETMETOTHEMOON was still to be asked for her effort when falling 3 out at Stratford on her most recent outing in July and remains unexposed, so she makes plenty of appeal returning from a break with her yard amongst the winners. Hedera Park is respected under a penalty for last week's Chepstow success, with handicap-debutant Sweet Caryline also of interest. 

Sedgefield

Canine Premier Flex Plus Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Suitably Surprised

Foster's Fortune

I'm Too Tired

LOVE TRUE showed improvement when last seen 7 months ago and, based on her French Flat form, she could be well in here, so she's preferred to Suitably Surprised, who ran well over C&D (from out of the weights) last time and is now able to race from a lower mark. Foster's Fortune is another one to consider.

Vickers.Bet Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Mill Street

Masonbrook Meadow

Malinka

MILL STREET fell well short of expectations at Stratford in July but having been freshened up since, Ben Pauling's charge is fancied to go one better than on hurdling debut at the expense of Vinny's Dream, who has run to a fair level on the Flat and represents a trainer adept with similar types in juvenile hurdles. Masonbrook Meadow can edge out Malinka for third. 

Lakeland Dairies & Bidfood Classic Collaboration Novices' Handicap Chase

Natural Ability

Socks Off

NEIGH BOTHA is creeping back down to his last winning mark so gets the vote down in class. Natural Ability and Miss Fedora are feared most in a weak event. 

Fairlight Studio Workshops At Sedgefield Racecourse Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Reel Rosie

Winds Of Winter

Representing last year's winning trainer/jockey combination, DAZZLELIKETHIS held every chance when falling at the last in an Irish point and she could be capable of making a successful start over hurdles. Devon Skies bumped into a promising type on her second outing over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of Reel Rosie.

Woodlands Hospital Darlington - Circle Health Group Handicap Chase

Old Page

Zwicky

ILLOGICAL LOGIC is getting the hang of things over fences now and this looks a good opportunity if he responds well to the cheekpieces. Zwicky is the obvious threat in a thin event. 

Paxtons No1 CaseIH Dealer In UK&Ireland Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Clean Getaway

Achnamara

Morandi Second

MORANDI SECOND posted an impressive display to score on the Flat last time and, with blinkers retained, he makes plenty of appeal back in this sphere. Clean Getaway, off the same mark as when scoring here last week, and Blended Stealth are dangerous.

Chelmsford City

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

English Lady

Mrs Dowley

Antalya

Having showed ability when runner-up on debut, MAGIC GLOW wasn't seen to best effect when seventh in a Wolverhampton maiden over this sort of trip 6 weeks ago. She's worth another chance from a handy draw with Rossa Ryan in the plate. Mrs Dowley can emerge as the chief threat of the others with experience. Antalya, Casual Encounter and Queen Sansa are a trio of newcomers to note in the betting for clues.

Betfair Exchange Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Space Trooper

Waiting For Love

NEEDLEPOINT looked potentially useful when making a winning debut as a 2-y-o at Chantilly last summer and can defy a penalty despite her long absence. The progressive Space Trooper is next best. 

Betfair Racing Podcasts Handicap

Revolutionise

Ultramarine

Riot

Low-mileage 3-y-o ARCTIC DAWN just about matched his previous best on the back of an 8-month absence when third on handicap debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Remaining with potential back on synthetics, he could be the answer. Last year's winner Riot arrives on the back of a solid run at Wolverhampton and rates a big threat. Ultramarine is another to consider.

Summer Weddings Here At CCR Nursery

Manara

Flaine

Respiro Solitario

STORMY LADY and Manara can both be expected to up their game now switched to a low-grade nursery, with marginal preference for the former. Respiro Solitario will be a threat if able to build in his creditable Wolverhampton effort, while Cassandraalexandra and recent Southwell winner Flaine are others to consider.

Betsi Handicap

Elterwater

Kessaar Power

Rising Force

This drop back in trip could be just the ticket for ELTERWATER, who understandably wilted in the closing stages upped to middle distances in handicaps at Southwell and Kempton last winter. Provided she is ready to roll following an eight-month absence, she could prove hard to peg back if again ridden aggressively. Kessaar Power quickly returned to form when going close here last week and he looks set for another bold show. Dashing Donkey is another in-form contender with appealing claims.

betting.betfair.com Handicap

Fantasy Master

Rebel Path

Flying Fletcher

FLYING FLETCHER was well on top at the finish at Newcastle 9 days ago and, with more to come, he's preferred to Fantasy Master, who returns to the AW from a lower mark having scored off 5 lb higher at Nottingham recently. Daytona Lady can also be considered.

Betfair Exchange Beacons Handicap

My Turn Now

Suanni

Battle Point

SUANNI hasn't been quite at his best of late but wasn't discredited last time and he's been dropped a couple of pounds, so he's worth taking a chance on from a good draw. War Zone and Marcus were ahead of the selection that day and they're likely to feature.

Global Resolve

Cracking Filly

GLOBAL RESOLVE has dropped to a tempting mark so could be worth chancing in a change of headgear. Mhajim and Semser were both arguably unlucky last time and they head the dangers.
