12:35 COUNT OF VENDOME - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Dual bumper winner. Enjoyed an excellent first season over hurdles and went 3-5 on his handicap debut in 7-runner event at Haydock (2m, good to soft) 6 months ago. Since had a breathing operation and rates an interesting debutant over fences.

PHANTOM OF DELIGHT - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
11/2, hinted at promise (led to 3f out) when a well-held sixth of 9 in bumper at Bangor (17f, good) in May. Has since had a breathing operation and also hooded/tongue tied for her hurdles debut.

DOLLY DRAMA - Kielan Woods
Timeform Comment:
Mahler filly who made the frame on her 2 bumper runs last season before starting out over hurdles with a fading fourth of 7 in novice at Haydock (2m, good) 6 months ago. Has since had a second breathing operation. Not out of things.

14:45 SOLDIER IN MAYO - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Point winner/novice hurdle winner. Shaped well to split a pair of next-time-out winners at Bangor (2½m) on return/chasing debut. Backed out of things after a bump at the last when beaten favourite at Hexham (2½m) subsequently. Probably worth another chance on balance.

15:20 DINO BELLAGIO - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Once-fairly useful bumper performer who disappointed as a novice hurdler in 2024/5. Form has regressed on the Flat lately. Hopes of a revival in this sphere are seemingly pinned on a recent breathing operation.

Speed Davis and Harry Brown. Great Ride Harry, how different the result could have been.

13:46 SPEED DAVIS - Harry Brown
Timeform Comment:
Beat a progressive one when successful at Musselburgh in November and produced a career best to follow up over C&D in April. Couple of tame efforts followed but more like it returned to this venue when third of 5 last month.

14:16 GODFREY BOUILLON - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Ran with promise when fifth of 12 in bumper at Wetherby in December 2024 and did likewise when finding only one too good sent hurdling with a tongue tie on at Kelso in November. Off since and that level almost certainly won't suffice here.

14:46 IAMYOUARE - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Well served by return to further when bolting up in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (2½m, good) in April. Runner-up twice since and fitted with cheekpieces, she didn't need to improve to double her tally at Southwell 4 weeks ago. More is required here.

15:16 THEY WANT ME - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Pair of disappointing efforts after winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m) in December but a breathing operation and a tongue strap had the desired effect when making a winning handicap debut at this track in April. Winning Irish pointer should have more to offer over larger obstacles.

LARISTOTE - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Held every chance when falling at the last sole outing in Irish points and positives to draw from 4 runs under Rules last season, third at this track in April. Fences could see him improve again.

INEDIT D'AMOUR - Harry Brown
Timeform Comment:
French recruit (runner-up over fences) who made it third time lucky for Donald McCain in 2m Catterick maiden hurdle on New Year's Day. Didn't send the season in much form over hurdles but excellent return to the larger obstacles when second at Uttoxeter, finishing ahead of 2 next-time-out winners.

16:16 CAHIER'S DEN Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Remains winless under Rules but improved on his hurdles form when making the frame in first 3 chase starts early this year. Lesser effort when sixth of 10 over this C&D in May, though made a bad mistake at the second. Off 5 months since (has had a breathing operation).

Newcastle Racecourse 15:01 ROARIN SUCCESS - Danny McMenamin
Timeform Comment:
Fairly useful Flat performer. Well backed when completing a double at Stratford in July, overcoming mistakes. Solid efforts in defeat all 3 outings subsequently and looks sure to go well again.

19:00 AL ZA'AMA - Cam Hardie
Timeform Comment:
Yet to win in 5 starts and was only eighth of 11 over C&D in September on his handicap debut so looks tough to fancy.

Carlisle Racecourse
13:17 JOHNNY MOONSHINE - Theo Gillard
Timeform Comment:
Runner-up sole start in an Irish point. Promise when fourth in a Carlisle bumper and 2m Ayr maiden hurdle on first 2 starts for Donald McCain but has been most disappointing on both outings since, labouring after the eighth at Bangor when last seen. Has had a breathing operation.

15:50 ZAMOND - Harry Brown
Timeform Comment:
C&D-winning veteran who has remained in top form since resuming winning ways at Cartmel (17.2f) in July. Finished ½-length second to a gambled-on raider from the Willie Mullins yard over C&D last time. Still operating in 0-100 company and may go one better under promising 10-lb claimer.
