HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Returned from a short break as good as ever, first-time cheekpieces seemingly doing something for him when cosily adding to his tally in 11-runner handicap at Southwell (12f) 8 days ago. 4 lb rise looks fair and another bold bid expected.

Consistent on all-weather this winter and he showed an impressive change of gear when resuming winning ways over 13f here 7 days ago, nailing a prominently-ridden one. Of firm interest again following a 2 lb rise.

Emphatic when ending a losing run at Newcastle in December and gusty when following up over C&D last month. Solid second in pursuit of hat-trick at Wolverhampton (12.2f) latest and respected in this groove.

Dual 10f scorer who endured a winless 2025 but back to something like best after 3 months off when second of 9 over 14f at Wolverhampton 25 days ago, headed near line. Mark has crept back up a little but respected if arriving in same form.

4-time C&D winner who dispelled a lesser effort whilst promising more than he delivered when fourth in an 11f handicap at Kempton at the start of the month. Now sports first-time cheekpieces which could help and he lines up on last winning mark.

Successful from 1 lb lower mark on turf for Hughie Morrison last spring. Inconsistent thereafter and not figured tackling inadequate trips upon joining new yard this winter. Return to further rates a plus but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Shaped as if back in top form without being seen to best effect when third at Chelmsford (13.3f) 3 starts back but not built on that subsequently, lesser effort when sixth at Southwell (12f) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Sole win came at Kempton in May and struggled since, again looking none too keen over 10f here latest. Cheekpieces added to hood.

Took well to chasing last season when a dual 2m scorer and he's continued on the up, runner-up for the third time this term when beaten just a head in 2m Windsor handicap chase last month. Up 4 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

Progressive for Pauline Robson last season when a three-time 2m chase winner and he has made a positive start for his current yard, looking the likely winner for a long way before fading into third in 2m5f handicap chase at Market Rasen last month. Very much one to consider back in trip here.

Capitalised on a reduced mark when gamely resuming winning ways (first-time tongue tie) for his new stable in 9-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) last month. Back up 4 lb but this C&D scorer can't be discounted.

A fairly useful 2m chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last season. Easily his best effort from four runs for his current yard when second of 5 in 2m Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago. Not out of things if building on that here.

Made a seamless transition to fences last season, bagging back-to-back 2m Ayr handicaps. Failed to build on an encouraging return when beating only one over C&D in December on his final run for Nick Alexander but no forlorn hope starting out for in-form yard after a break.

Irish veteran who made a successful return from 13 months off at Listowel in September and advanced that form after another lay-off when third of 11 in 2m4f Haydock handicap chase two weeks ago. Can make his presence felt again eased 1 lb.

Signed off for Stuart Crawford with breakthrough chase win at Carlisle last spring. Has improved steadily for his current handler and posted a very good fourth of 8 (from 7 lb out of the handicap) at Musselburgh four weeks ago. Can go well off a 5 lb lower mark now.

Resumed with 2m5f victory here (third course success) but has twice failed to build on it, coming in last of 5 in 2m handicap chase at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces and he could bounce back with yard now among the winners.

Debut winner of bumper at Ploermel (11.4f) in September and made a promising yard/hurdling debut after 4 months off when fifth of 12 in juvenile at Naas (15.9f, heavy) 34 days ago, fading after last-flight error. No surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward here.

Has gone with promise when placed in juvenile hurdles at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown either side of Christmas, fading late over 18f on latter occasion. Tongue tied now and open to more progress after a break for top yard.

Fair hurdler. Went keenly when just sixth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 10/3) 33 days ago. Remains a maiden after 7 runs.

A fairly useful Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien who has made a positive start in this sphere for her new yard, second of 9 in juvenile at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago when going well long way. Capable of better still and looks the one to beat.

Brave Mansonnien gelding. Dam 6f winner. The market can guide for this newcomer.

Tirwanako filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Watch House Cross and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Shakeyatailfeather. Wears tongue strap for her debut but no forlorn hope, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Hunting Horn filly. Dam, fair maiden hurdler and a 10.7f winner on Flat. The betting can prove an accurate indicator.

33/1, eighth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Yard in good form but significantly more is required.

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (18f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Lots to prove.
