HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Revitalised over hurdles last season, easy winner of C&D handicap before following up at Exeter (23.1f). Bettered previous efforts in this sphere when third on reappearance at Chepstow but unable to build on that effort at Uttoxeter subsequently. New rider tried.

Well backed returned to the scene of his previous success and got right back on track to justify the support at Leicester last month (9 runners, 3/1 fav), scoring cosily having travelled smoothly. 5 lb higher here but well worth another shot at this sort of trip.

Going the right way over fences having won 3 of his last 4 starts, latest at Fontwell (6 runners, 11/2) 8 weeks ago. Successful over this C&D on penultimate outing and Sean Bowen taking over from a 5-lb conditional only enhances his claims.

Stepped up on reappearance in refitted blinkers when third of 9 at Ludlow (10/1) 5 weeks ago. Handicapper eases his grip a touch more and there have been more promising signs for this yard in the past week.

Hasn't progressed since showing first form under Rules on chase debut at Lingfield in November, beaten a long way out at Taunton (9/1, 14 runners) 5 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces need to spark a revival.

Made it second time lucky over fences for Tim Easterby back in 2023. Hasn't clocked many miles since, but efforts for present yard since returning from a 16-month absence have been disappointing, including back over hurdles in cheekpieces last time. Best watched.

Long time without a win and little to shout about since returning from a 30-month absence in September, blundering 4 out when 11 lengths behind the eventual second. Back up in trip and looks an easy swerve.

Promising son of Masked Marvel who was much improved on his handicap debut when landing 11-runner event at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy) 40 days ago. Up 6 lb but he has more to offer and is the one to beat.

Winless since 2023 but he resumed from 4 months off with a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (27f, soft) 16 days ago when not ideally placed. Well in the mix off the same mark.

Fair ex-Irish handicap hurdler for Louise Lyons who never threatened on his chasing debut when seventh of 10 in maiden chase at Tramore in October. Worth a market check starting out for excellent new yard back hurdling.

Yet to win a race but she wasn't discredited when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, soft) 18 days ago. Needs considering off a 3 lb lower mark here.

Arrives in good nick without winning this term, needing a stronger gallop when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 25 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts eased 1 lb.

Ended his time with Robert Stephens last season well below par and pulled up on his yard debut in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy) 40 days ago.

Cost £110,000 after finishing second in an Irish point and went one better in 2m novice at Exeter in November. Posted a very good third of 9 on his handicap debut at Windsor (20f, soft) 33 days ago so he's well in the mix back in maiden company.

Bumper winner who made a highly promising start in this sphere when second in 2m Cheltenham Grade 2 in October. Tongue tied when landing 2m conditions event at Ascot after but reportedly bled when sixth in novice at Doncaster (19.4f) last time. Remains the one to beat with cheekpieces added.

Made a successful hurdles debut at Newton Abbot (17f) in October and has advanced his form when runner-up under a penalty at Exeter and Taunton since, clear of the rest in 2m3f novice on latter occasion. Should go well again.

Hinted at promise when sixth in Chepstow bumper in November but only tenth of 12 in similar company at Warwick (16f, soft) 71 days ago. Goes over hurdles now with lots more needed.

Dartmouth mare who came in third in an Irish point but finished last of 9 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 100/1) on his NH debut 8 days ago. Significantly more is required.

200/1, hinted at promise when fifth of 11 in novice at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy) on her hurdles bow 22 days ago. Down in trip and can build on it.

Failed to complete both starts in points and yet to trouble the judge in a trio of starts over hurdles, albeit was shaping better than previously (in fifth) when unseating rider 3 out at Wincanton (2m5f) last month. Others remain more persuasive though.

Fair 1m2f winner on Flat for Rod Millman but well beaten for his new yard in a pair of novice hurdles at Taunton and Wincanton last month. Easy to look elsewhere.
