1st @ 2\7 yesterday

Cousu Main 13.35 Lingfield 1 Pt Win @ 8\11 (bog)

Looked the likely winner when falling on hurdles debut at Lingfield in November and confirmed that promise when successful at Uttoxeter a month later. More to come for top yard.

PU on Tuesday

Cavallino 16.15 Clonmel 4 Pts Win @ 13\8 (bog)

Useful chaser. Not always fluent when third of 9 in novice chase at Navan (24f, soft, 5/1) 26 days ago, not knocked about. Blinkers on 1st time. Looks the one to beat on his penultimate showing.

5th yesterday

Jett 15.35 Kelso 5 Pts Win @ 1\4 (bog)

Didn't look the force of old for Jessica Harrington last season but put up a good effort when third in a handicap chase at Doncaster on sole outing for Olly Murphy 69 days ago. Should be too good.

1st @ 1\4 yesterday

Porticello 13.30 Haydock 5 Pts Win @ 1\3 (bog)

Won newcomers' race at Auteuil on sole start in France and progressive for new yard, taking career tally to 3-4 when landing Grade 1 Finale at Chepstow (2m) in December. Tough to beat.

1st @ 1\3 yesterday

Burn the Evidence 13.35 musselburgh 5 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog)

Confirmed previous promise when winning 5-runner bumper at Ayr (heavy) in January. Impressed with her jumping when an easy winner on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse recently and will take some stopping.

3rd today

West to the Bridge 16.37 Carlisle 6 Pts Win @ Evens (bog)

Course winner took advantage of a much-reduced mark in emphatic fashion in 5-runner event at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 35 days ago, pushed out. Still well treated on old form and can follow up.

[Xtc12]

1st @ Evens today

Lady Adare 13.55 Taunton 5 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog)

Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond last March and has created a good impression over hurdles, her opening win at Uttoxeter strong form and ultimately well on top at Newcastle. Hard to beat. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 2\7 yesterday

Lord Accord 14.50 Doncaster 5 Pts Win @ 11\10 (bog)

Bumper/dual hurdles winner who impressed when making a successful chase debut at Uttoxeter (22.5f). Well on top finish when quickly resuming winning ways at Taunton and the one to be with again. 

[Xtc12]

3rd yesterday

Peejaybee 13.45 Sedgefield 6 Pts Win @ 4\11 (bog)

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner who found further progress when running out a 9-length winner of a Sandown handicap (19.8f) earlier this month. Obvious claims back in novice company. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 4\11 (R4 25p)

KingoftheWest 14.45 Exeter 6 Pts Win @ 8\11 (bog)

Taunton debut winner before excellent second of 12 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. The one to beat on form. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 8\11 yesterday

Barrichello 13.35 Newcastle 6 Pts Win @ 1\6 (bog)

Slightly frustrating last season but an improved performer this term, recording a third win on Warwick handicap debut (2m) 34 days ago, all out. Will take all the beating. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 1\6 yesterday

Jerrash 15.20 Fontwell 6 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog)

Showed plenty when third in an Ascot bumper and confirmed promise of that run when landing 21.6f novice hurdle at that venue in January. Similar form upped in grade last time and has more to offer. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 2\7 yesterday

Rightplacerightime 13.35 Carlisle 3 Pts Win @ 10\11 (bog)

7/2, good second of 24 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back chasing for his handicap debut and Irish raider is weighted to go very well. 

[Xtc12]

4th yesterday

Oscars Leader 15.00 Leicester 2 Pts Win @ 11\8 (bog)

Dual hurdle winner who has taken well to fences, winning at Haydock in January and adding to his tally at Newcastle on Saturday. Should give another good account if over those exertions.

[Xtc12]

3rd yesterday

Champ Is Real 15.30 Musselburgh 1 Pt Win @ 2\5 (bog)

Failed to beat a rival in 3 starts over hurdles but landed a significant gamble despite being 11 lb out of the handicap to win easily on chase/handicap debut over C&D 10 days ago. The one to beat. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 2\5 yesterday

Bravo Team 15.20 Clonmel 4 Pts Win @ 2\5 (bog)

Promising type. 18/1, fifth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (15.6f, soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Has best chance on form. 

[Xtc12]

Gelino Bello 15.30 Newbury 5 Pts Win @ 1\2 (bog)

Very useful hurdler who scored at Aintree in October. Posted good fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f) 48 days ago and holds leading claims back in novice company. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 1\2 yesterday

Gentleman De Mee 15.58 Navan 5 Pts Win @ 1\3 (bog)

Promising sort who posted career best when easily winning 10-runner novice chase (1/2) at Thurles (16.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Very much the one to beat. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 1\3 yesterday

Chambard 13.45 Huntingdon 3 Pts Win @ 6\5 (bog)

Took advantage of reduced mark when making a successful reappearance at Exeter. Better form since, career best when resuming winning ways at Fontwell. Unproven at this trip. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 13\8 yesterday

Mt Leinster 16.20 Leopardstown 3 Pts Win @ 1\6 (bog)

Useful on Flat and over hurdles and run to similar level over fences, latest when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (17.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Hard to oppose. 

[Xtc12]

1st today @ 2\11

Bavington Bob 15.15 Newcastle 3 Pts Win @ 5\6 (bog)

Improving by the run over fences, and completed a hat-trick with an accomplished display at Carlisle recently, so capable of completing the four-timer having gone up 5 lb. 

[Xtc12]

NR today

Whydah Gally 13.30 Fontwell 3 Pts Win @ 8\15 (bog)

Off the mark over hurdles in 19.8f Wincanton handicap in January and running well (probably would have finished second) when falling last at Sandown 32 days ago. Obvious chance back in grade. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 8\15 today - this locks in a  guarenteed profit of 11.13 Pts with 9 days to go !

Update :

Malpas 15.55 Carlisle 3 Pts Win @ 1\6 (bog)

Improved in the jumping department to land C&D novice on return in October. Hasn't done a great deal wrong subsequently and he should have little trouble in dispatching with these rivals. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 1\5 today - locked in profit up to 20.73 Pts with 8 days to go ! 

Friend or Foe 14.05 Leicester 3 Pts Win @ 8\13 (bog)

Made good start to chasing career, scoring at Uttoxeter (16f) before good third at Warwick. Excuses on most recent outing and much better expected here.

1st @ 8\13 today .... 9th consecutive winner ... profit now at 30.59, 7 days to go !

City Chief 16.51 Hereford 3 Pts Win @ 1\4 (bog)

Won sole start in Irish points and shaped well on Rules debut in a maiden hurdle at Ascot in December. Turned over when odds on at Doncaster (20.8f) since, but this stiffer test will be in his favour. 

 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 1\4 yesterday ..... 10th consecutive winner ...... guaranteed profit of 38.34, 6 days to go !

Lac De Constance 14.12 Warwick 3 Pts Win @ 2\11 (bog)

Didn't fully fire in bumpers but on the back of a wind op, made a winning hurdles debut at Exeter in December. Followed up in 5-runner listed novice there 4 weeks ago and will take all the beating.

[Xtc12]

1st @ 2\11 yesterday to keep the run going ! 5 days to go !

Kansas City Chief 14.10 Plumpton 3 Pts Win @ 15\8 (bog)

Veteran but still as good as ever, landing a pair of 3m Cheltenham wins this term. Another fine effort when runner-up there on New Year's Day and done for a turn of foot by Ballyandy latest. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 5\2 today ..... 12th consecutive winner, joint 3rd highest ..... profit locked in @ 57.38, 4 days to go !

Honeysuckle 15.30 Cheltenham 3 Pts Win @ 8\13 (bog)

Stretched her remarkable unbeaten record to 14 when landing third successive Irish Champion last month by 6½ lengths from Zanahiyr. Can't be opposed as she bids to become first mare to win this twice. 

[Xtc12]

1st @ 8\11 today , 3 days to go !

Gentleman at Arms 13.15 Huntingdon 3 Pts Win @ 1\8 (bog)

Fairly useful Flat stayer who has taken well to hurdling, landing a course novice on Boxing Day and better form when runner-up in better company the last twice. Claims are there for all to see.
