Watch The Unibet Racing Postcast Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Sinnatra

SINNATRA has shaped well when second in a couple of Newbury maiden hurdles since joining Dan Skelton and is narrowly preferred to last month's C&D juvenile runner-up Pourquoi Pas Papa. It'll also be interesting to see how much confidence there is in the betting behind useful Flat performer Fouroneohfever on his hurdle debut for Ben Pauling.

Vanderpoel

Kotmask

Progressive 7-y-os VANDERPOEL and Siam Park may come to the fore in this useful handicap, with narrow preference for the former on the back of his comfortable Ascot success.

Range

Henri The Second

Sonigino

HENRI THE SECOND has a good course hurdle record and is worth siding with back over the smaller obstacles. Second choice is Dominic's Fault who is much less exposed than most who contest these races and is entitled to come on for reappearance in a warm Newbury handicap. Bourbali is next on the list. 

Unibet Middle Distance Veterans' Handicap Chase

Triple Trade

It was a good quality handicap in which TRIPLE TRADE was third at Cheltenham three weeks ago and this 10-y-o, who remains on a workable mark, makes plenty of appeal now venturing into a veterans' race for the first time. Can You Call brought the curtain down on a long losing run in good style at that course last time and is just about feared most ahead of another decisive last-time-out winner in Jet Plane.

Unibet Mares' Hurdle (Fillies' & Mares' Listed) (GBB Race)

Nurse Susan

Jubilee Alpha

JUBILEE ALPHA is better than she was able to show when beaten almost eight lengths in the Cheltenham handicap won by Nurse Susan a few weeks ago and, now 12 lb better off with that rival, the Paul Nicholls-trained mare is taken to emerge on top this time. Nurse Susan should give another good account and can follow the selection home, with That'll Do Moss narrowly preferred to Sunset Marquesa for minor honours.

Unibet Veterans' Handicap Chase

Nocte Volatus

Le Milos

Gabbys Cross

CREDO has won two of her four previous starts when equipped with the visor and is of strong interest here with the headgear refitted, off a mark just 1 lb higher than when scoring at Carlisle last spring. Though yet to get into gear this season, Le Milos has slipped to a dangerous mark and is next on the list ahead of Badger Beers winner Gustavian. Copperhead and Nocte Volatus are others to consider in a competitive contest.

All In You

Dance And Glance

Continuance

It could be a case of a rerun of the recent Ascot handicap in which DANCE AND GLANCE narrowly outpointed All In You. They've both gone up 4 lb, so meet on identical terms and while there is a case for thinking that the runner-up, who was making his seasonal reappearance that day, can exact his revenge here, Dance And Glance displayed a likeable attitude at Ascot and that gritty determination may again prove to be the difference. Hot Fuss is another key player.

All Too Beautiful

So Sassy

Lahina Bay

CALAFRIO looks well worth another chance to build on her impressive stable debut victory at Kempton. C&D winner So Sassy is a danger dropped in grade, while hat-trick seeking All Too Beautiful should give another good account upped in class. 

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap

Fille Imbassee

Upsomdowns

FLORIDA SUITE overcame a pace bias when winning comfortably at Southwell last time and has solid claims to follow up in the same grade. Credit Forgedd It looks the main threat, especially if getting the run of the race, while last-time-out winner Charlotte Corday should remain competitive off a 4 lb higher mark.

Maskatto

Foothold

Terranoble

Steadily progressive in all-weather maidens, this looks a good opportunity for MASKATTO to go one better than last time. Foothold looks the danger if seeing out a markedly longer trip on his return, while the betting should offer plenty of clues regarding the newcomers.

Repertoire

Way To Dubai

Virtue Patience

Preference is for VIRTUE PATIENCE, who followed his maiden success here last spring by going close on his handicap bow at Kempton. Things haven't gone entirely to plan since but he has quickly slipped to a potentially handy mark (now 5 lb below the mark of that Kempton near-miss) and he shaped encouragingly back from a break/wind op when fifth of 10 over C&D last month. The veteran Repertoire has also come down the weights and is next on the list ahead of Pitney.

Mio Amico

Jack Langley

Mr Nugget

JACK LANGLEY and Mr Nugget both beat Knight of Magic by the same margin in handicaps over this C&D and at Southwell respectively, with the latter coming out just the better on account of the fact that he was conceding more weight to that rival than Jack Langley. However, whereas Mr Nugget's three wins have all been gained on tapeta, Simon Dow's charge boasts form figures of 51211 round here and he is marginally preferred. Dubai Harbour is best of the rest.

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Charlie's Choice

Kimeko Glory

Enthused

A typically progressive handicapper from the Sir Mark Prescott yard, WESTCOMBE is taken to complete the hat-trick. He seemingly had a fair bit left up his sleeve when proving too strong for Charlie's Choice at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and this 6 lb higher mark should be within reach. Pride of Donegal put in a good shift when runner-up at Newcastle last month and is taken to emerge as the main danger this time, with Charlie's Choice third on the list.

Dandy Khan

Edergole's Gift

Kondratiev Wave

DANDY KHAN ran another cracker despite coming up short in her quest for the 4-timer at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and he continues to make plenty of appeal at this level. Cill Mocheallog and Kondratiev Wave can also make their presence felt. 

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap (Div 2)

Naval Ensign

Toussarok

Sanditon

TAM LIN ended his time for Alice Haynes in excellent heart and back on his correct mark, he has plenty to recommend him. Toussarok and Sanditon also warrant consideration. 

Southwell

Dartrey

Dagger Strike

This will likely develop into a straight fight between penalised pair DARTREY and Dagger Strike, with preference for the former who bolted up over 6f here on New Year's Day. 

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Fillies' Handicap

Brazilian Rose

Amica

Dream Illusion

The drop back to 7f may suit AMICA who gets the nod in this tight fillies' handicap. Rikissa took a step forward last time and it's of some interest that her leading stable is persevering with her as a 4-y-o. Karl Burke pair Party Bear and Diamont Katie would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests they are ready to roll after 6-month breaks.

VOLENDAM has quickly found her feet for Tony Carroll and gets a narrow vote over Imola. Moyowasi and last-time-out Wolverhampton scorer Bad Habits are also shortlisted.

Operation Gimcrack

Overlooked

Woodrafff

OVERLOOKED has been consistent since cheekpieces went on and could prove the answer if new headgear (blinkers) gives him just a little bit more. Second choice is Operation Gimcrack who was better than the result on AW last time and went close off 3 lb higher last summer. Up The Monk and Woodrafff are others who could have a say.  

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap

Talis Evolvere

Golden Pharaoh

Tribal Wisdom

A hot handicap that can see BIN AJWAD make it 4-4 over C&D. He's really likeable and won another strong event 6 weeks ago. Talis Evolvere is feared most ahead of Golden Pharaoh.

Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Jungle Ruler

Leonetto

Remi Mae

JUNGLE RULER looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Dundalk for Joseph O'Brien and may prove good enough to defy a penalty for new connections. Remi Mae left her debut well behind when second at Haydock and is feared most ahead of Leonetto, who should do better again. 

Nunc Est Bibendum

Fascinating Shadow

Edwardtheninth

ARC ZOOSVE responded well to this headgear when off the mark at Wolverhampton and may have more to offer still having not been long with this yard. Fascinating Shadow was 2 lengths behind the selection that day and is 3 lb better off now, while Nunc Est Bibendum has found some form for her current stable and remains well treated on her Irish form.   

Make The Move To Midnite Handicap

Tortured Soul

Golspie

Brodie's Boy

TORTURED SOUL took advantage of the class drop when resuming winning ways at Lingfield and he remains on a fair mark up 3 lb. The free-going King's Hand has a bigger performance in him, while Arth's Gold responded well to this headgear when third over C&D. 

Cork

Happy New Year From All At Cork Maiden Hurdle

The Reverend

Dawn Coming

Maxfort

THE REVEREND was bordering on smart on the Flat for William Haggas and is a highly interesting recruit to hurdling. Dawn Coming has made an encouraging start to his hurdling career, while Speculateur showed a bit in a Punchestown bumper. 

Goldcrop Rated Novice Hurdle

Tatateo

Youneedabitofluck

ZUZUKEL shaped well when a close second at Punchestown in November and gets a narrow vote ahead of Gordon Elliott's recent Leopardstown scorer Spinola Bay. Youlita could also play a prominent role if fully primed after 7 months off. 

ITM Irish Stallion Trail 16th - 17th January Maiden Hurdle

Rebel Budz

Frankie's Freebie

Bumper-winner FILLYOUREYE has made a promising start to his hurdles career and this look a good opening for him. A few of these do have a bigger performance in them though, notably Shabby Hill and Rebel Budz. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle

Cousin Kate

Catchabird

The bare form of GETAWAY BEO's debut win isn't anything to write home about, but she won in good style that day and could be worth another chance (ran too bad to be true last time) now handicapping over a longer trip. 5-y-o Cousin Katie is progressing and should go well again despite an 8 lb rise for her Limerick win, while Catchabird and Missus Beeton are both fairly treated if back to their best. 

William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Beginners Chase

Way Down South

Snow Punt

Live To Laugh

Not a strong race so LECALE'S DIAMOND, who left his lowly hurdles form trailing in his wake when third at Tramore a month ago, selected to build on that. Mount Shenshan and Snow Punt also have something to recommend them. 

EASYFIX Equine Handicap Chase

Milan Forth

Battle Of Mirbat

MILAN FORTH was pulled up on debut for this yard at Thurles a fortnight ago but the relatively quick turnaround would suggest that all is well and, now 4 lb lower and dropping back slightly in trip, he would have a major chance if reproducing his form from last spring. Raglan Road figures on an attractive mark for his handicap debut in this sphere and is feared most ahead of Al Kalila and Harbour Highway, another sporting the JP McManus colours who may improve now handicapping over fences.

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Moonverrin

Owning Flower

Mary O'g

This could prove an informative bumper and, with POETIC TWIST taking the eye on paper for a red-hot yard, she earns the vote before market clues. Owning Flower is another noteworthy Rules newcomer having joined Willie Mullins following a point win, while Moonverrin shaped with plenty of promise on her Fairyhouse debut and must enter calculations, too. 

Newcastle

QuinnBet Mares' NH Flat Race (Conditional & Amateur Jockeys) (GBB Race) (AWT)

LUNA GRACE shaped well behind a pair of stronger stayers at Doncaster on her most recent outing and gets the nod to make it third time lucky. Broken Vow is a respected newcomer for a yard that does very well in the bumper sphere, with One Dimensional sure to be on the premises if backing up her debut effort. 

QuinnBet Best Odds Guaranteed Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

GAELIC ROVER has made a promising start over hurdles and is fancied to open his account at the expense of The Hatchet, who can give another good account under a penalty. Freddie Steady Go and Luckie Devil both appeal on the best of their bumper form and are worth noting for support now hurdling. 

NS Farmtech Agricultural Machinery Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

KNOMOREDIAMONDS brings solid handicap form to the table so he looks the answer back in a novice under his penalty. Legendary Luke is also penalised but has more to offer as a hurdler, with Port Station likely to be thereabouts, too. 

QuinnBet Extra Places Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

SPADESTEP hasn't done a lot wrong over fences in recent weeks, finding only one too good on each occasion and with the prospect of more to come, this looks a good opening. Willie Shake Hands may offer most resistance.

quinnbet.com Handicap Hurdle

WASTHATOK arrives in excellent heart and can make it 2-2 over C&D. Just Call Me Lucy's Wetherby second has worked out very well and she's a danger, along with lightly-raced Saracen Beau who may progress again returned to hurdles. Aire Spray represents a yard in fine form and is another to note having been well-backed when runner-up here last time. 

Border Minstrel Pub Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

The thriving FAT HARRY would have completed the hat-trick had he not crumpled on landing at Haydock and is fancied to make amends. The likeable Tommy Combats is feared most ahead of Moon Phases, who made a promising debut in this sphere at Kelso. 

High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap Hurdle

YOU DID is steadily progressive so should remain of interest at this level having proved a game winner at Musselburgh. Guernesey went close to ending his losing run at Hexham, while Princesse Milania is holding her form very well. 

Wincanton

BetMGM Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Bold-jumping front runner ELDORADO ALLEN could be hard to pass in this small field. Gabriel's Getaway has been running well this season and is next best.

It was a messy race that NO TRICKS AT ALL landed at Worcester in October but it was an encouraging start nonetheless and kept to her own sex, she can defy a penalty. Yeld To Call is expected to step up on her opening effort, while Miss Macaroni could be a different proposition this time. 

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Neil Mulholland saddles a couple of interesting runners in TRANSMISSION and Kelce. The latter arrives in top form, which cannot be said of the former but this represents an ease in grade and in the hope the visor sharpens him up a bit, Transmission is preferred. Of the rest, Wicked Thoughts is open to plenty of improvement as a chaser.

Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap Hurdle

THREE PIKES has shown plenty in bumpers/maiden hurdles and he's fancied to make a winning handicap debut dropping back to 2m. Recent Taunton winner Premier is going the right way and could be the main danger, while Sea Warrior and Purple Owl both have scope to do better in handicaps.

Play Golden Goals At BetMGM Handicap Hurdle

CALL ME LEGEND looks the type to improve for a greater test of stamina and he's narrowly preferred to hat-trick seeking Got A Dream, who should make a bold bid off a 5 lb higher mark. Maldini Milano appeals on handicap debut for Paul Nicholls, while Cruden could have more to offer on first hurdle start for new connections. 

Daily Profit Boosts At BetMGM Novices' Handicap Chase

AMAZING CLENI is unexposed over fences/staying trips so can follow up her win at Leicester. Staff Sergeant Len was still in the mix when unseated at the last on his chase bow here last week and is feared most back down in class. 

Download The BetMGM App Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

SINCHI ROCA has shown plenty in bumpers and comes from an excellent jumping family, so he appeals as the most persuasive option now stepping up to a trip that promises to suit. Kilwaughter shaped better than on his first hurdle start when fourth at Exeter last month and appeals as the type to do better again, with Hydration Station and Seaniecon a couple of winning pointers to note in the betting on their first outing under Rules.
