HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Debut winner at Chelmsford sole start at 2 yrs and not seen to best effect under a penalty when fourth at Doncaster on 3-y-o return in April. Not seen since and sold from John & Thady Gosden 32,000 gns in October (gelded) but Doncaster form has worked out very well.

€26,000 yearling, Decorated Knight filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Asian Daze. Dam dual bumper winner. Shaped promisingly on belated debut when second to a subsequent winner in maiden (33/1) at this course (8f, AW) 34 days ago, making rapid headway inside final 1f. Should progress.

€100,000 2-y-o, Dark Angel filly. Dam winner up to 5.5f (including at 2 yrs), fourth in Sapphire Stakes. Hooded, offered something to work on when close third of 7 in novice (9/2) at Redcar (7f, good) on debut, running on. Off 139 days. Should improve.

In good heart with strong recent form including a neck second at this course in December. Fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 11 days ago, caught wide with no cover but stuck to the task late on. Back up in trip and looks the one to beat eased in grade.

Returned from 9 months off in December (shaped well when fifth at this C&D) and was fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (5/2) 17 days ago, got back on track despite racing rather wide. One to keep an eye on at this level despite advancing years.

Won at Chelmsford in November but unable to get seriously competitive in 2subsequent runs since leaving Alice Haynes, most recently sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (9/1) 30 days ago when making running but brushed aside in final furlong.

Returned to form out of the blue when winning at this C&D (16/1) 17 days ago, benefiting from a good early position. Both career wins have come here but she's up 3 lb and isn't really an obvious type to follow up.

Simply ticking over at present, fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (10/1) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and tongue strap back on.

Unreliable sort who last won here in August. Third of 8 in handicap over 1m here 20 days ago, stepping up on return from a break but unable to cling on having made the running from widest stall. Cheekpieces back on.

Hasn't scored in 20 starts since October 2024, though did finish second in a handicap here in December. Fifth of 9 in handicap here (11/1) 12 days ago, again running below form with the longer trip looking a negative. Difficult to fancy, even allowing for return for 7f.

Has shown no ability in 5 starts, last of 12 tailed off in handicap at Southwell 3 weeks ago on return from a 6-month break. First-time tongue strap on.

Second on Perth handicap debut last spring. Struggled in first 4 starts this season but back to form with cheekpieces added (retained) when close second at Newcastle a fortnight ago. The winner has gone in again since and he looks well treated off 2 lb higher if the headgear works again.

Snapped a 3-year losing run when edging out Velvet Vulcan over C&D (soft) last month. While he hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up that was a well-contested race and he should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher.

Modest 2m Flat winner who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when second of 19 to So Many Roads over C&D (soft) 39 days ago, just failing despite racing keenly and making his ground out wide.

Improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when 12 lengths second of 8 at Sedgefield (17f, soft) 16 days ago. Stable also runs The Jeweller's Pet.

Landed back-to-back C&D wins in the mud last February, including this race. Hasn't managed to reproduce that form switched to fences this winter but could be dangerous if a return to hurdles sees him recapture his best form.

Returned from 8 months off with an improved second of 9 in 19.5f Doncaster handicap in December but he failed miserably to back that up when well behind So Many Roads and Velvet Vulcan over C&D 3 weeks later. Bounce back needed.

Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles over 2m here this winter. More realistic chance now handicapping but Velvet Vulcan looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise.

Chased home The Jeweller's Pet in this race last year. Also runner-up over fences at Hexham last March but has failed to recapture that form this season, finishing a long way behind a few of these over C&D last time.

Third on 2m course handicap debut last March but hasn't reproduced that form in 3 course handicaps this winter.

Two-time winner for Fergal O'Brien last winter. Second on Hexham yard debut last summer but has struggled since.
