Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Tennessee Orange (IRE), 9-4 Climbing (GB), 7-2 Camino Rocio (IRE), 5-1 Jullou de Grissay (FR)
CLIMBING isn’t the easy to predict but he’s the percentage call to come out on top returned to hurdling if putting his best foot forward fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Tennessee Orange possibly needed the run on her Rules debut at Stratford the previous month and is bred to appreciate the step up in trip, so she’s feared most.
RACE RESULTS
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

LARKFIELD LUSIVE held on gamely from a pair played later in a race run at a true tempo at Perth on his most recent outing, so he’s well worth siding with to follow up from a 4lb higher mark. Shadows In The Sky made his first hurdle start for current connections a winning one at Southwell recently and is much respected under a penalty, with Moro Rock sure to on the premises again if backing up his effort over C&D last week.

Hally’s Kitchen
Official equine ambassador for Market Rasen Racecourse
Hally’s Kitchen retired in 2020 following an unsuccessful National Hunt career while in training with Justin Landy, she ran nine times under rules and once in a point-to-point without troubling the judge. She is now owned by Samantha Hunt and is excelling in the show ring!
Hally (as she is known) has competed in several high profile shows including the RoR finals at Hickstead and in an SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse qualifier at Burghley Horse Trials.
Samantha describes Hally as kind and laid-back - she loves cuddles and being groomed!
Retraining of Racehorses

GREENROCK ABBEY really ought to have brought his losing run to an end on his second start for this yard over C&D last week and can make amends off the same mark. Prospect House enhanced his excellent record here when quickly resuming winning ways earlier this month and is the obvious threat.

WHISTLEINTHEDARK spread-eagled his field at Perth last time so this C&D winner is taken to defy a 9lb weights hike and thwart Haydock-scorer The Flier Begley. Vintage Fizz can also have a say at these weights while course-victor Giovanni Change is another to consider in a competitive handicap chase.

Stewards Note:
HIJO DE LA LUNA: Following its run on 10/6/2025 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.
Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Lone Star (GB), 3-1 Matoury (GB), 7-2 Record Art (FR), 8-1 Mount Gallion (IRE), 12-1 My Girl Katie (IRE), 18-1 Hijo de La Luna (GER), 28-1 Mademewhatiam (GB), 40-1 Leading Lion (IRE)
Little to choose between the two recent C&D winners, with marginal preference for LONE STAR who won in a higher grade last time and may be able to make it 2-2 following a breathing operation. Matoury scored with plenty in hand here 18 days ago and rates as a big danger, while Record Art may bounce back stepping up in trip
