HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Low mileage 6-y-o seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train, but he did finish a narrow second to a subsequent winner over C&D in May. Found less than looked likely that day but could still go close if ready to roll.

Hit the frame for the fourth consecutive handicap start when fourth of 14 at Huntingdon (2m4½f) last time. Well backed on that occasion and the drop to this intermediate trip may see him get his head in front for the first time.

Showed potential first 2 hurdle starts but well held twice since, latest when sent off 40/1 on handicap debut at Wincanton. Interesting to see if market expects better with tongue strap on first time.

Fair 1¼m Flat winner has steadily progressed on the figures over hurdles, promising more than she delivered when (blinkered) fifth of 7 on handicap bow at Wincanton. Given a chance by the handicapper, though.

C&D fourth in December has worked out reasonably well and though disappointing on the all-weather last time, he could prove more competitive back over hurdles.

Hinted at ability in a bumper but little to shout about over hurdles, failing by a long chalk to justify support (6/1) on handicap debut here last time.

Poor maiden in this sphere and though hit and miss on Flat since returning from an absence, still worth a look in the betting on first hurdle start for yard among the winners.

Has clearly had issues and no show in 2 starts for new yard, latterly on chase debut at Huntingdon in December.

Modest 3-time winner on Flat for Richard Hannon (stays 1½m) but fared no better for the switch to handicap hurdle here last time and hopes pinned on the application of first-time headgear in this sphere.

Lightly-raced winner but few positives to take form last couple of starts, including on handicap debut last time. Bounce back required.

Hasn't lived up to French promise since joining top connections which was fair enough given he'd initially been thrown in at the deep end. Latest flop came in much calmer waters, however, so now switches to a handicap with something to prove.

Ran best race since winning stable debut in 2024 when shaping well in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month, keeping on when not getting a clear run. That was her first try at this sort of trip and she merits plenty of respect for top connections if able to build on that.

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who was a good head second of 5 to Kazansky in Grade 2 hurdle (9/4) at Limerick (23f, heavy) 38 days ago. Clearly wasn't 100% on the day when pulled up last time and bound to be in the mix if bouncing straight back here with first-time hood applied.

Broke duck over hurdles when making the most of a good opportunity in February. The form of that success is not strong given his market rivals turned in below-par efforts but he's relatively lightly raced and in good hands for the return to handicap company.

Got back on the up returned to hurdling after a stint chasing with a gutsy success in 2m listed handicap at Limerick in late December. His failure to fire upped in trip in a hot race at Cheltenham last time is excusable and he can make more impact assuming his stamina holds out.

Best effort when second of 11 in maiden hurdle at Thurles in January. Unsuited by drop in trip when only third in similar event last time and step back up in distance looks sure to suit for handicap debut, though he'll still need progress for it to figure.

Yet to win handicap company but can't be faulted for his consistency and not without hope if first-time cheekpieces can bring about some progress.

Has just the one hurdles win to his name but shaped much better than the bare result when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course 17 days ago, tiring 3 out on return from 5 months off. This is a deeper race but he's not one to write off back down in trip.

Largely progressive over hurdles since joining this yard, scoring at Naas in December before a couple of good efforts in Graded company. Found Cheltenham beyond him last time but should be able to figure back in this company.

Won at Killarney before good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal 155 days ago. Can give a good account if seeing out this longer trip (bred to stay) on reappearance.

Better known for chase exploits in recent years, but has never really got going this season and needs the switch back to hurdling to spark a revival.

Course winner but badly out of sorts in recent times and is hard to fancy.

Didn't achieve much over fences earlier in the season but is a more solid proposition over hurdles and ran one of better races last month. More required here but he should stay this far.

Winner of a maiden hurdle at Limerick in May and proving consistent in handicaps since, looking suited by the step up to this sort of trip last time. Fewer miles on the clock than most of these so could still have more to offer.

Useful hurdler who won at this track in 2024 but lightly raced in recent times and went the wrong way from promising chasing debut when falling heavily last time. Comes with risks attached.

Course winner who fell well short in pursuit of a hat-trick when last seen. Off since so may not have been right that day and has fewer miles on the clock than most of these.

Won latest start over hurdles at slightly longer trip in October and comes into this on the back of a solid effort on the Flat, This may prove too competitive for him, though.

Won twice over hurdles and once on the Flat between May and July. Should strip fitter for recent outing at Dundalk but he's never raced over this far which tempers enthusiasm.

After 10 months off from debut, wasn't able to justify short odds but still showed improved form when only narrowly denied in 9-runner maiden at Newcastle 24 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Offered something to work on first time up when second in 6-runner novice at Chelmsford in March, beaten only by the odds-on favourite. Could be able to go one better with improvement to come.

Switched to polytrack, left debut form behind when winning 11-runner maiden over 6f at Dundalk, staying on to lead post. Has been gelded since and he's open to improvement on all-weather making first run since leaving Adrian Murray.

Little impact in a couple of bumpers for this yard, but fair form on Flat debut when second of 8 in a C&D novice in February (his only start for Pam Sly). Ran to a similar level back with current trainer when eighth of 11 in 1m maiden at Kempton 11 days ago.

€20,000 foal, Lope Y Fernandez colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Educating Rita. Wears hood and tongue strap for debut. Trainer saddled his first winner with a well-backed newcomer in February, so the market could be informative.

€7,000 yearling, Invincible Army gelding. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 11f-16.2f winner Rare Groove. Has a fair standard to aim at on debut.

€8,000 yearling, Isfahan gelding. Brother to 8.4f winner Lassair and half-brother to useful 7.4f/1m winner Lacento and 9f/1¼m winner Lionel, all in Germany. Dam 8.4f winner. Yard's newcomers tend to be better for their first experience.

26,000 gns foal, Ulysses gelding. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Azure Blue out of unraced half-sister to 7f winner Valeria Messalina and 1m winner Pincheck, both smart. Has had breathing operation ahead of first start.

Something of a mix on pedigree and looked one for the longer term when tenth of 11 in 6f maiden at Newcastle on debut in February.

In hood both outings and has made little impression so far, sixth of 9 in novice over 1m at this course 15 days ago.
