Tortured Soul

Charlie's Choice

Raintown

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CHARLIE'S CHOICE, who notched his third success of the year at Southwell recently and David Simcock's 4-y-o remains firmly of interest on the back of a 5 lb rise. Heading up the dangers is Tortured Soul, who confirmed his return to form when runner-up at Kempton earlier this month, with Graze On Phoenix and Arazzo taken to fight out third.

Grabajabba

Bear Rock

GRABAJABBA was much improved from debut when getting off the mark at Southwell 10 days ago, showing a good attitude, and he can continue his progress to score again. Waiting For Love also opened her account at the second attempt and is respected if taking up this engagement aftera run on Sunday, while Bear Rock has also been going the right way.

Studious

Mr Ubiquitous

Queen Himiko

MR UBIQUITOUS didn't help himself by racing freely when fifth at Southwell 3 weeks ago but he'd previously looked one to keep firmly on side when successful on nursery debut at Kempton in October and he's given another chance to get back on the up. Antelope, on the back of a gelding operation, Tiempo Alegre and Hashtagnotions head up the dangers. 

Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap

Secret Mistral

Smooth Silesie

Nelson Gay

Lots with chances. BEAUZON is always to be feared round here and went down only narrowly at the track last time out so edges the vote from the handily-weighted C&D scorer Nelson Gay who also came in runner-up here on his most recent start. Mumayaz and Smooth Silesie also need factoring in along with Popular Dream. 

Weekly 5 Free Bet With BetUK Handicap (Div 1)

Rogue Thunder

Red Walls

Laura's Breeze

Course scorer LAURA'S BREEZE signalled she is ready to strike again when a recent third here so is fancied to capitalise on an easing mark. Resurgent Rogue Thunder heads the list of dangers, although a case can also be made for Neptune Legend, Crocus Time and Banana in this tightly-knit sprint. 

Weekly 5 Free Bet With BetUK Handicap (Div 2)

Autumn Angel

Bernie The Bear

Mashaan

AUTUMN ANGEL went down fighting when beaten ¾-length by Mashaan over 7f here on Boxing Day and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue, the scales may well tilt in her favour this time, given that she meets the winner on 5 lb better terms. Savalas was successful over C&D on his latest start and he is third choice ahead of another C&D scorer in Bernie The Bear.

Gamble Responsibly At BetUK Handicap

Coachello

Blind Beggar

Dyrholaey

COACHELLO is of strong interest returned to the all-weather on an appealing mark and he shades preference ahead of Dyrholaey, who has been absent since finishing down the field in a Royal Ascot handicap in June but he was 3-3 (all on the all-weather) prior to that and probably remains with potential. It will be interesting to see how Filly One, who was unbeaten in two starts as a juvenile, gets on now handicapping following a 12-month absence.

Win 1M With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap

Kit Gabriel

Etretat

Port Erin

Preference is for PORT ERIN, who pulled clear with a previous winner when scoring at Chelmsford earlier this month and remains nicely treated. The hat-trick chasing Harbour Vision is feared most, whilst Lunarscape should also go well. 

BetUK: It's Where The UK Bets Handicap

Jumeira Vision

Royal Observatory

Major Major

ROYAL OBSERVATORY took advantage of a drop in the handicap when opening his account at Chelmsford earlier this month and still looks feasibly treated. He may be able to score again in the finale. Major Major and Bloodhound are also of interest. 

Haydock

Betfred Nifty 50 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Clondaw Royale

Lady In The Park

Schalke

SCHALKE cemented the positive start made for his new stable when finishing runner-up in a stronger race at Bangor 17 days ago and well handicapped on old form, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Lady In The Park returned to this sphere and Tiger Jet back from a break for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard are others worth considering.

Betfred 'Classic Bookmaker' EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Laganhill

Glynn Brae

INDEEVAR BLEU wasn't extended when taking care of 6-rivals following a 13-month layoff at Leicester 4 weeks ago and Olly Murphy's gelding looks the one to beat with above-average progress distinctly possible. Glynn Brae and Desert Halo can do battle for minor honours. 

Betfred 'Bet Builder' Handicap Chase

Ned Tanner

The Flier Begley

Prolific scorer CLASSIC MAESTRO impressed with the accuracy of his jumping when landing a match over fences here 9 days ago and appealing as the type to go on returned to handicapping in this sphere, he looks to hold sound claims again. Idalko Bihoue and last year's winner Happy And Fine may emerge as the chief threats.

Betfred Goals Galore Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Sky Bet paying 3 places instead of 2

Wal Buck's

Good Work

WAL BUCK'S is progressing with experience and fancied to build on his excellent Wetherby second last time out and get off the mark. Both Cream of The West and Gold Emery are expected to build on encouraging reappearance efforts at Hexham and Wetherby respectively and can chase home Lucinda Russell's 5-y-o in that order. Chasing newcomer Galassian completes the shortlist. 

Betfred Happy New Year EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Itstonitejosephine

Eagles Reprieve

The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to Nicky Henderson's ITSTONITEJOSEPHINE who appeals on pedigree and is fancied to make a winning start. Doncaster debut scorer Smart Decision rates a big threat though, with other hurdling newcomers Eagles Reprieve and L'Air du Large also much respected. 

Betfred Last Fling Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Saint Xavier

The Two Amigos

MONTGOMERY was quick to make his mark sent chasing for Venetia Williams last season and can build on a good reappearance Sandown fifth to resume winning ways. Likeable veteran The Two Amigos could take a sizeable step forward and emerge as the main danger with a recent run here under his belt, although Fantastikas and Gaboriot merit respect too in an open-looking handicap. 

Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Handicap Hurdle

For Pleasure

The Grafter

BERTIE'S BALLET returned straight to form when second over C&D 9 days ago, just unable to get by the all-the-way winner, so he is taken to go one better this time with cheekpieces added. For Pleasure ran well behind a next-time-out winner at Fakenham on his latest outing and can make another bold bid, with The Grafter also considered.

Taunton

Stables Business Park Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

U Cant Be Serious

Jackpot Des Bordes

Devon Dude

JACKPOT DES BORDES got away with a drop in trip around this sharper track when scoring here last month and, with improvement on the cards back up in distance, Paul Nicholls' 5-y-o could take some stopping. He gets the vote over Katana, who showed ability amidst greenness in a Wincanton bumper a couple of months ago and warrants considerable respect now hurdling. Bank On Frank can edge out Devon Dude for third. 

Royal Oak Hillcommon Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Moutarde

Mill Street

Zenato

CLOTILDA made an immediate repayment on the €100,000 new connections forked out for her when landing a 3-runner Huntingdon juvenile and, with the second giving that form a timely boost at Kempton the other day, she should prove hard to beat. Zenato is an intriguing recruit to this sphere on the back of his Flat success in October and he is next on the list ahead of Moutarde, who will find this company more palatable compared to his latest assignment. 

Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Langley Hundred

Always Busy

Exmoor Forest

A winning chase debut could be on the cards for RI NA CUIRTE, who looked an improved model over hurdles last month, striking at Fontwell prior to finishing a solid third at Ascot. The latter form has been boosted (the winner of that handicap has won again since, and the second also scored next time) and the fact that this 6-y-o was runner-up between the flags augurs well ahead of this switch to fences. The in-form Langley Hundred and likely improver Tout Sur Moi rate the main dangers.

Byerley Stud Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) (GBB Race)

Jubilee Alpha

Hollygrove Cha Cha

JUBILEE ALPHA should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Newbury hurdles bow and may be able to turn the tables on Listentoyourheart, who carries a 5 lb penalty for that victory. Hollygrove Cha Cha is also of interest. 

South Shore Handicap Hurdle

Tiny Tetley

Fautinette

DESPEREAUX is unexposed as a stayer and makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid having made it 2-3 here with a decisive C&D success 18 days ago. Native Moon also has a potential as a stayer and is feared most on the back of his improved second here last month, while Tiny Tetley, who found just one too good at Exeter, is another key player.

In The Mix Handicap Chase

Caeruleum

Unspeakable

Blackacre

CAERULEUM upped his game when easily scoring at Wincanton last month and an 8 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Touchwoodexpress and Unspeakable should also go well. 

2 For 1 Tickets On 8th January Conditional Jockeys' Training Series Handicap Hurdle

Tom Doniphon

Two To Tango

Bread And Butter

PHOENIX RISEN was a ready winner at Wincanton earlier this month and remains feasibly treated on old form. He can score again. Bread And Butter and Tom Doniphon rate the principal dangers.
