→ FANTOMAS and AAZZA typically race handily; BIG BEE HIVE usually held up and may be disadvantaged.

Runner-by-Runner Summary & Ratings

1. Aazza – ⭐ Timeform: 105 | RapidView standout

Profile: Thriving mare, back from a short break after three strong staying efforts. Backed up her Wetherby win with a Southwell success and was a solid runner-up at Bangor (good to firm).
Pace Suitability: Races prominently – big positive in this setup.
Flags: Multiple form and suitability positives.
Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ (8/10)

2. Champetre – ⭐ Timeform: 108 | Solid place profile

Profile: Fair sort, shaped well on reappearance at Ffos Las and likely to improve. Placed off higher marks last year.
Pace Suitability: Usually close-up – positive.
Flags: Race fitness angle in play.
Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10)

3. Zarhanya – ⭐ Timeform: 101+ | Interesting profile

Profile: Unexposed, modest overall, but ran with promise last time and connections (Sean Bowen + Keighley) are hot on these setups.
Pace Suitability: Not established; potential to race more forwardly.
Flags: Strong jockey/trainer combo stats.
Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ (6/10)

4. Zoffalee

Profile: Formerly useful but long absence and very limited recent form. More needed.
Pace Suitability: Neutral.
Flags: Old ability hinted at, but unreliable.
Rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (3/10)

5. Global Assembly

Profile: Hunter chase background, no form since joining current yard, tailing off.
Pace Suitability: Lazy type – needs a strong pace, which this lacks.
Flags: Negative across the board.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (2/10)

6. Horizon D’or – ⭐ Timeform: 104

Profile: One solid staying run at Ludlow, but regressed badly since. Switched yards.
Pace Suitability: Mixed, raced handily before.
Flags: Distance suitability fair, but overall form patchy.
Rating: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ (5/10)

7. Big Bee Hive – ⭐ Timeform: 105 | RapidView course performer

Profile: Won here previously but form has tailed off. Usually held up – not ideal for this tactical scenario.
Pace Suitability: Weak – typical hold-up type in slowly-run race.
Flags: Course win, but temperamental.
Rating: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ (5/10)

8. Rubies Or Gold – ⭐ Timeform: 104

Profile: Moderate overall form but has placed over staying trips. Lacks finishing effort despite market support.
Pace Suitability: Versatile; not especially positive/negative.
Flags: Hard to trust fully.
Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ (6/10)

9. Fantomas – ⭐ Timeform: 110x | Interesting under Sam TD

Pace Suitability: Prominent racer, suited by the pace shape.
Flags: Likely “go day” if connections mean it.
Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10)

Summary

This 0–100 handicap hurdle over 3m1f looks a weakly run contest suiting those that race prominently. AAZZA holds standout recent form, a front-running style ideal for the race shape, and top statistical backing. CHAMPETRE is the clear second pick if building on his reappearance. FANTOMAS is well treated, suited by pace, and has a significant jockey upgrade – could be today’s plot. ZARHANYA and RUBIES OR GOLD are respected on profile but lack finishing substance. The remainder are mostly out of form or exposed.
