Hove Race Fields - 1st Dec 2024

TULLAMORE PRINCE (trap 5) can soon be cracking the whip against these and, if doing so after a smooth getaway, should sustain the gallop throughout. Ten Ton Simba (trap 6) would be dangerous if getting a sizeable piece of the good fortune cookie. Slippy Queen (trap 4) has a chance of making the numbers and appeals from the rest.

FANTASY ALEX (trap 1) could be well in against these and, while the odds on reward may temper enthusiasm to some extent, he is the obvious call. Burrows Emerald (trap 2) should be involved in the finish and is a leading contender. Getup Me Charva (trap 3) has a good initial spurt of speed. The rest are hard to fancy.

BU HAN TAG (trap 5) looks the most likely winner of this despite needing some good fortune through the early stages of the contest. Riverside Gin (trap 2) is looking to blaze a trail and will make the selection graft hard if doing so. Uptown Lass (trap 4) has the ability to be an active player when it matters.

The bookie chaps are likely to be in the red if CLAIRKEITH RAYNA (trap 6) obliges as she should prove popular for this contest and it's fairly obvious to see why. Punkrock Eclipse (trap 4) has less to do so should be up for making a meaningful contribution. Taylors Pumpkin (trap 3) would be a player if she avoids being snagged up early.

DROOPYS FLOTUS (trap 1) should be in there pitching at the business end of the race and gets the nod to be on top when it matters. Farranrory Blitz (trap 6) could soon be banging the drum and would then rate a big threat. Do It Bud (trap 3) could be around at the close of play and is worth considering.

The search for the winner could start and stop with HAT TRICK BUCKO (trap 4) as he looks to hold all the right credentials to blow these rivals off the park. The downgraded Garys Angels (trap 3) is capable of banging the drum loudly and he is seriously feared. The quick turnaround should help Rioja Madam (trap 2) and she is not without a chance.

MADABOUT MACKAY (trap 5) is collecting plenty of appearance money and it could be the top loot that he banks against these rivals. Aghaburren Milly (trap 1) rates the main danger with growing experience of the track. Will the relegation make any difference to Clairkeith Tegan (trap 2)? Possibly.

SERENE HIGHWAY (trap 1) lines up with above-average claims and is likely to be solid in the market. With usual good fortune, he should oblige. Guzzler (trap 5) is given serious consideration now dropped a rung and he will surely go close. Roadsea Gun (trap 3) may struggle to take the top loot but he is certainly in with some sort of chance.

There'll be few more popular choices at the meeting than TAYLORSTOWN JET (trap 4) as she should simply leave these opponents toiling in her wake. There's no real reason why Inspires (trap 1) shouldn't run well and keep the selection true. Delicious Gossip (trap 3) is enjoying the fame that comes with success and should go well again.

There's a good few punters that like getting stuck into a short one and FLEADH CAILIN (trap 4) fits the bill as one of those with standout chances today. Harlequin Beauty (trap 2) won't be far away if putting her best paw forward and has to be feared. Farmway Wedge (trap 6) took his chance well to score recently and is no back number.

There will be many prepared to row in with STONE COLD PUNK (trap 3) on the downgrade and it could trigger a winning performance if he gets the run of things. Hazelhill Gem (trap 6) should soon have a paw on the gas and may have to be caught. Yougo Freddie (trap 1) is being turned around quickly after his latest outing and has claims.

AMICABLE (trap 5) has the credentials to be involved at the nitty gritty end of proceedings and is taken to be the first to break the tape. Punkrockrhapsody (trap 6) has a fair early spurt and won't be easily rubbed out if allowed sizeable rope. The chances of Speed Time (trap 1) rest on a clear run and the inside slot is a plus.
