HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON 3u464d

Remains one of the highest-quality maiden chasers in training. Finished 4th of 19 in a premier handicap chase (Sandown Gold Cup) 43 days ago when ridden more positively than normal. Should take the beating if producing a similarly zestful display over this shorter trip.

Ran well when third in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in April. Won maiden chase (5 runners) at Down Royal (6/5) 34 days ago, jumping well and quickening to lead between last two fences. Should continue to progress over fences.

Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Improved effort over fences for new yard when length third in 3m Musselburgh handicap but found jumping issues resurface when 9th of 18 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (33/1) 89 days ago. Should be competitive if cheekpieces sharpen up jumping.

Lightly-raced 8-year-old who has unseated rider in 2 of 3 chase starts. Was in touch but raced freely before unseating rider in a 12-runner maiden chase at Down Royal (33/1) 398 days ago. Returns from a lengthy absence and faces an uphill task.

Struggled in bumpers and yet to make an impact over fences. Flattered when fourth of 5 in conditions chase at Listowel (80/1) 6 days ago, beaten 17¾ lengths. Cheekpieces removed for significant step up in trip today. Has plenty to find.

Winning Pointer has made a promising start to her hurdling career, off the mark with a smooth success in a 15-runner Limerick novice (19.2f) 10 days ago. Should be able to follow up on her way to better things.

Maiden Irish pointer left her Rules debut well and truly behind when a surprising winner (50/1) of a 2½m Hexham novice hurdle last month. Could improve again and looks the most likely challenger to the favourite.

Bumper winner has yet to reproduce same level of form over hurdles, highly-tried in a Grade 3 on hurdles debut prior to finishing well held in a pair of 2m maidens at the end of last year. Could have more to offer back up in trip but handicapping may be more his bag.

Point winner who struck at the second time of asking in bumpers at Catterick in December (third won a 3-runner race subsequently). Well held in an Ayr bumper after 4 months off, stopped quickly. Needs to bounce back up in trip on hurdles debut but too soon to write him off yet.

Modest winning chaser for Martin Keighley (sold for £5,000) last summer and has ran to a similar level in 3 starts over hurdles for new yard, finishing third in a 6-runner Kelso novice (21f, good) last time. May prove more effective back in handicap company over fences.

Fair handicapper on Flat. Yet to reach that level over hurdles but offered something to work with when placing in a couple of maiden hurdles for Alexandra Dunn last year (sold for 3,200 gns). Could do better over the longer trip on stable debut but looks another who will fare best in handicaps.

Best hurdles effort to date upped in trip when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good, 50/1) 32 days ago, though possibly flattered given the slowly-run nature of that race. More needed.

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 2m) and showed little aptitude for hurdling on debut at Cartmel 13 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Looked a progressive sprint handicapper for current yard (won 3 times on soft) until only eighth of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 8 days ago. Worth another chance, especiallhy if the rains come.

Arrives in decent nick, going freely in a change of headgear when third of 7 in handicap over C&D (good) 37 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Comes here at the top of her game, second of 13 in handicap here (5f, good) 16 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark in her bid for a third win of 2025.

It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in only thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return.

Course winner who turned in one of his lesser efforts when fifth of 9 in handicap here (7f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

It's 19 starts since his sole success and he was tried blinkered when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Hood is tried now with work to do.

Off 9 months/first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when eighth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 76 days ago. Needs considering with that run under his belt.
