WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!

13:45 – ELHAM VALLEY

A chance is taken on ELHAM VALLEY, who appears to be working his way back to form judged on his recent Warwick effort. He sported first-time cheekpieces on that occasion and turned in his best performance of the season, keeping on well without causing a threat after losing his position on the home turn. He’s now 12 lb lower than when third in last season’s Fred Winter and this longer trip should suit. Shearer heads a rather long list of dangers, which also includes handicap-debutant Top of The Bill.

14:20 – IN THE AIR 

IN THE AIR and Icone D’Aubrelle were good enough to win in juvenile company in their native France, but the form of the former looks stronger so he is taken to make a winning start on these shores. He has joined a yard that are currently in great form and have a good record with similar types in the past, so his claims are the most compelling. Lifetime Legend would surely have won had he negotiated the second-last flight at Doncaster and he’s another to consider.

14:55 – GLORIOUS LADY

GLORIOUS LADY caused a surprise when opening her account for this yard at Warwick last week and she looks well treated turned out under a penalty. She was 14 lb out of the weights when recording that victory, first-time cheekpieces clearly having a positive effect and she displayed a good attitude in the closing stages. The step back in trip shouldn’t pose a problem and she will be hard to beat if in the same form. Lilith’s consistency is hard to knock and she should also go well dropping in distance.

15:30 – GELINO BELLO

GELINO BELLO looked potentially smart when making a winning start over hurdles at Aintree in October and he has improved in defeat in three starts since. He bumped into a smart type on his next two starts in graded company and wasn’t disgraced on handicap debut in the ultra-competitive Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton last time. That form sets a high standard here and he should be able to get his head back in front. Peking Rose can boast a course win and rates the chief threat to Paul Nicholls’ very useful novice.

16:05 – COEUR DE LION

COEUR DE LION is a useful stayer on the Flat and remains one to be interested in at this sort of trip over hurdles. He was a good second to an improver over course and distance on his latest start, doing little wrong but just having no answer for a better handicapped rival at the finish. Coeur de Lion is only 1 lb higher now and is expected to launch another bold bid. The unexposed Guerlain de Vaux has the potential for better now handicapping.

16:35 – CASA TALL

A dual winner over fences this season, CASA TALL needs to shrug off a lesser effort over course and distance last time, but he may have needed that run on his return from 10 weeks off, and remains well handicapped on the pick of his form. This doesn’t look the deepest handicap for the grade and he will be competitive if taking a step forward. Monsieur Lecoq ran creditably at Hereford recently and is feared most ahead of Commis D’Office in a tricky contest.

17:05 – TOUCHY FEELY

TOUCHY FEELY has an eye-catching pedigree with bumpers in mind and her top handler sends some of his best to this track on debut, so she takes marginal preference over Notnowlinda, who sets the standard on form after finishing third in a Cheltenham listed event on Rules debut. Fancy Your Chances is also considered.
