1.05 – Two‑mile maiden hurdle

Bernard Llewellyn’s eight‑year‑old Adrian switches from the Flat to hurdles for the first time. Conditions may suit, but those with experience over obstacles could hold the advantage. Toby Lawes’ Klimt Madrik ran well here in October over a longer trip and is expected to have the speed to go close.

1.35 – Three‑mile handicap chase

David Rees’ Esperti appeals after finishing second at Newton Abbot last month. He rises in the weights but has Sean Bowen booked and handles soft ground well. Henry Oliver’s Try The Money could place fresh, while David Pipe’s Shot Boii returns on a tempting mark, aided by 10lb claimer Rian Corcoran.

2.10 – Two‑and‑a‑half mile maiden hurdle

A small but interesting field. Legendary Luke is a point‑to‑point winner and bumper runner‑up, while Tamarind Bay, Gee Force Flyer and Allstitchedup have all placed over hurdles this season. Olly Murphy’s Gee Force Flyer, ridden by Sean Bowen, looks the one to beat, though Jamie Snowden’s in‑form yard could see Legendary Luke pose a strong challenge.

2.45 – Two‑and‑a‑half mile handicap hurdle

Ben Clarke’s El Bandido Pancho won on seasonal debut but must carry a seven‑pound penalty. Mickey Bowen’s Dance In The Park makes her stable debut and could be well‑weighted. Evan Williams’ Leech is down to a winnable mark after a good run last time and benefits from Ellis Collier’s 5lb claim.

3.18 – Two‑and‑a‑half mile handicap chase

David Pipe’s Jaipaletemps won here earlier this month over two miles and returns under the same claiming rider, despite a seven‑pound penalty. Veteran Ballywood was behind him that day and could place, while Ballybeen drops to an all‑time low mark and may be competitive on suitable ground.

3.48 – Mares’ handicap hurdle (2m6f)

Evan Williams’ Followango has placed on both starts this term and remains on the same mark, with a 7lb claim in hand. She looks a leading contender. Harriet Dickin’s Walkinthecotswolds returns for the new season and could run into a place under Bradley Harris.
