THE TIMEFORM VIEW MARSEILLAN made a promising start when third to a couple of established sorts at Chelmsford a month ago and expected to build on that fitted with headgear, he could be the answer Kody B sets the standard on his Chester second and is well drawn to attack, while market support for newcomer Them Days Are Gone would look significant.

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed improved form when winning first attempt at 1m in 9-runner handicap at Redcar (6/1) 26 days ago, needing every yard to get up in final strides. 2lb rise shouldn’t prevent bold follow-up bid. TFRHHHII BHA55

Stewards Note:

UBETTERSEETHIS: Following its run on 13/10/2025 it was reported that the horse jumped left leaving the stalls.

TIMEFORM VIEW Gained reward for consistency at Musselburgh (7f) this month. Poor last-place finish at Newcastle (1m) 11 days ago, weakening. Should perform better back on turf but has to prove stamina for this far.

TIMEFORM VIEW Won a nursery at Carlisle (7.8f) in August in first-time cheekpieces. Fourth of 7 at Nottingham (9/2) 12 days ago when racing freely and failing to see out the 10f trip. Return to 1m therefore looks a good move.

TFRHHHHI BHA69

THE TIMEFORM VIEW UBETTERSEETHIS returned to form when runner-up in a seller at Musselburgh last week, looking dangerous when leading until headed over 1f out. In the hope 1m is within range, he looks the answer to what is an open nursery Ibn Altheeb upped his game in headgear when scoring at Wolverhampton, despite hanging left and he’s a threat, while Rawalpindi Express should appreciate dropping back to the mile where he was successful at Carlisle in August.

PHIL BULL

– POLYMATH

Phil Bull, the founder of Timeform, was born and brought up a few miles from Pontefract in Hemsworth. His father was a coal miner and his mother a schoolmistress. Bull himself became a teacher but his childhood fascination with racing led him to turn his mathematical skills to the analysis of race times, which he first marketed in the late-1930s under the pseudonym William K.Temple (his status as a teacher precluded him from using his own name).

Pontefract was the first racecourse to which the young Bull was taken racing by his father and years later it was also the course where he enjoyed his first winner as a racehorse owner. That was in 1942 when Bull also began producing a Best Horses annual, the forerunner of the long-running Timeform Racehorses series.

The instantly recognisable Bull, sporting a ginger beard and smoking a cigar, became the leading owner in the North and also a successful breeder Lady Electra, one of the foundation mares of his Hollins Stud, won the Substitute Lincolnshire Handicap at Pontefract in 1943 and a painting of that victory hangs in the Pontefract directors’ dining room

Bull was the most successful professional punter of his era, keeping meticulous records which show that he made over £11.5m from betting, at today’s values Also an influential campaigner on racing matters, he was a man of many parts, an accomplished chess and snooker player, and a passionate fan of Mozart, while his vast home library was dominated by books on philosophy and humanism.
