Itsinthename

1.625
13/8(+19%)
(3) Itsinthename 13/8, Promising debut when second, beaten a head, in a bumper at Lingfield last time; trainer in form and a tongue-tie is fitted first time. Effective over 2m and, from a top yard, much more to come over hurdles.
Beaten just a head at Lingfield in sole bumper and he's firmly in calculations.

(4) Myrighthandman 11/2, Ran to form after a wind op but looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 13l into third in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Second run after wind surgery; effective over 2m and a nice recruit who may need further in time.
Point winner who was third at Southwell three weeks ago and this should take less winning.

Can play a leading role if transferring his bumper promise to hurdles at the first attempt.

(6) Roarin' Success 3/1, Ran to the level of her debut form when second, beaten 10l, in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. Effective over 2m and, as a useful Flat winner, should be capable of much better over hurdles.
Three-time Flat winner; runner-up at Newcastle on second hurdle start; in the picture.

(9) Warrior King 66/1, Far too free on his hurdle debut and comfortably held in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby last time. In good form prior, off a short break; effective over 2m and this Flat winner may need more time over hurdles.
Progressive at ordinary level on the Flat but well beaten on hurdle debut in December.

Big Love

25/1(+62%)
(7) Big Love 25/1, Improved when fourth, beaten 20l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. May need more time to develop over hurdles.

16/1(-60%)
(2) Emerald Time 16/1, Fell in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time when booked for midfield; effective over 2m and acts on good ground. Should come on for that debut effort and is expected to improve on better ground.
He's shown some promise on all three runs, most recently his hurdle debut; one to consider.

(1) Art Dancer 300/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Showed promise in bumpers but has plenty to prove now over hurdles.
Displayed some ability in bumpers but tailed off/pulled up at big odds on both hurdle runs.

(5) Tony Joe 12/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective over 2m and acts on good ground. His bumper win has been franked and he may have more to offer for his new yard over hurdles on better ground.
Won good-ground bumper in October; disappointing on both hurdle starts but on soft going.

Narrowly beaten in a bumper at Lingfield last month, ITSINTHENAME has switched yards since. Placed between the flags last year, there is good reason to believe Nick Scholfield's new inmate will improve now hurdling and he gets the nod, with Sean Bowen's presence another positive. Southwell third Myrighthandman could shape well on his second start after wind surgery, while Emerald Time is no forlorn hope if improving his jumping.

Preference is for ITSINTHENAME who went close in a bumper at Lingfield last month. Bumper winner Crack Ops is second choice.

Runner-up off this mark at Kempton (1m4f, Class 3) last July; first start for new trainer.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Without Compromise won easily over C&D in December, but he has a bit to prove now off a 10lb higher mark having been well beaten back here subsequently. INAPPROPRIATE makes more appeal after finishing a solid second here in first-time blinkers. The headgear remains in place and Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is taken to go one better. Knockbrex won off a similar mark at the track in November and also merits respect.

A weak race for the grade, lacking a standout. With Jack Callan (1-1) back in the saddle, the tentative suggestion is KNOCKBREX.

4/9(+51%)
(2) Fay Ce Que Voudras 4/9, Improved for the step up in trip when landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 2m-2m7f and acts on heavy and soft. That was a good win and her new mark remains fair.
Successful in similar event at Leicester last time and still looks well treated.

Largely consistent efforts this term; won this race in 2024; solid claims.

(3) Sawpit Samantha 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time after a short break. Effective over 2m4f-3m but a maiden exposed at a lowly level. Makes only limited appeal on her chase debut.
Maiden and chase debutante who has a question mark over current form.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Fay Ce Que Voudras banished a Ffos Las tumble to the memory when breaking her chasing duck over an extended 2m6f here. A 4lb rise isn't unduly harsh and the drop in trip isn't a problem, but she is still passed over in favour of BOBBI'S BEAUTY. The Martin Keighley-trained eight-year-old came out on top in this race a couple of years ago and her recent near-miss at Lingfield was given a boost when her conqueror went close to following up. Sawpit Samantha is expected to struggle.

Being a last-time course winner who remains attractively handicapped, FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS is taken to follow up.

Third at Doncaster on first crack at 2m3f and this unexposed 6yo could be in the shake-up.

Pulled up at 40-1 and 50-1 in first two handicaps and a transformation is needed.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A winner at Southwell in November, SECRET VINO was beaten less than a length when upped in trip at Sedgefield last time. He looks worthy of another chance in this company off an unchanged mark. Merry Shuil found only one too good over just short of 2m here recently and Jennie Candlish's mare can make her presence felt if lasting home. Wind Your Neck In posted a better effort at Carlisle and could also have a say in proceedings.

Having returned to form when runner-up at Carlisle last week, WIND YOUR NECK IN can go one better and get off the mark over hurdles.

AMERJEET has been threatening to end his barren spell. Michael Herrington's son of Blue Point caught the eye running on late to grab second over C&D and he can launch another strong challenge. Shatin Venture also found only one too good here recently. He can account for Azucena (fourth) once again and make his presence felt, while Okami is not out of it with Jack Callan's allowance helping his cause.

The booking of Billy Loughnane for AMERJEET (nap) is enough to tilt the scales towards Michael Herrington's runner.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Not much in the way of recent winning form to go on, although a few bring solid placed form to the table. Heading that list is DELGANY DEADLINE, who stepped forward from his chasing debut to go under by just a length at Sedgefield and he can continue his forward momentum. Ronnies Reflection won this last year and returns on the same mark following a back-to-form Lingfield second. Fellow C&D scorer Nine Nine Nine might be helped by a wind procedure, and Just In A Bit should be thereabouts too.

Last year's protagonists RONNIES REFLECTION and Nine Nine Nine have solid claims. A couple of the others command respect.

EL MUCHACHO still had a chance of making the frame when falling at the last here on his latest start. Only 3lb higher than when successful over these fences on New Year's Day, another bold bid is not out of the question if putting in a clear round. Dixie Cowboy returns to a shorter trip with a solid chance having found the extended 2m3f at Sedgefield beyond him. Forcetoreckonwith has place claims.

Topweight EL MUCHACHO has been in good form in recent months and is taken to post his third win since November.

Seven Fires has to be of interest on her solid third at Chelmsford. Saying that, Ed Walker trained the winner on that occasion and that could give the Lambourn handler a good line on the chances of COMPRADOR. The son of No Nay Never shaped with plenty of promise at Lingfield on debut, when beaten less than a length into third, and the subsequent victory of the runner-up adds substance to the form. Celtic Arrow looks the pick of the remainder.

The pair to focus on are Seven Fires and COMPRADOR, with a clear preference for Ed Walker's runner.

PALAWAN DU MAZET showed his appreciation for the testing conditions when getting off the mark at Taunton, making amends for a disqualification after passing the post in front in the same race 12 months prior. He had a subsequent winner back in third and can kick on now. Ahanaglogh was fancied to leave all previous form well behind on his handicap/chase bow and did just that, but was still put in his place by an emphatic winner. There was encouragement to take from the display, though, and he must be feared. Nedzor is the pick of the remainder.

With progress plausible, Hereford runner-up AHANAGLOGH may well go one better. Palawan Du Mazet is the most solid danger.

Bathgate has hit another level over track and trip and is unlikely to be far away in his current vein of form. However, a 7lb hike for his latest victory, as well as a rise in class, demands another career best, which could leave the door open for INTO THE PARK. The seven-year-old wasn't disgraced when finishing third at Taunton and a 2lb drop in the ratings may prove lenient. Inedit D'amour and Medieval Gold are others of interest.

The thriving 6yo BATHGATE (nap) can complete a C&D hat-trick, having scored in fine style here most recently.

DANDY MAGIC went under by the narrowest of margins over C&D before getting going too late over 5f. She is turned out again quickly and can make the most of the extra furlong. True Promise was hot on her heels when sent off favourite for last week's race and is another who will appreciate the step up in trip. Novak is working his way back into form, although this distance is at the lower end of his spectrum. Alpine Girl has to be respected on her return to the fray.

Dandy Magic is virtually guaranteed to run her usual solid race. However, TRUE PROMISE is favoured back over a more suitable trip.

DENEMETHY performed as well as could be expected when fourth in a class 2 at Sandown and these calmer waters may see him back on the scoresheet. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only benefit the eight-year-old and he should take all the beating. Rip Wheeler looked progressive until two disappointing defeats and a bigger threat may emerge from Xcitations, who is entitled to improve for his Uttoxeter reappearance.

Being a consistent sort who has solid form, DENEMETHY (nap) may well defy top weight back down in class and double his chase tally.

STUDIOUS lost nothing in defeat when second to the highly progressive Aisling Oscar over C&D and a similar effort from Mark Loughnane's charge could see him go one better, despite a 2lb rise. A winner here in December, Hale End arrives in fine fettle and another good account seems assured, while Mr Nugget has been in fine form at Wolverhampton and is worthy of consideration in an open contest.

It may be worth siding with CEPHALUS who is 3-6 over C&D and has dropped 3lb lower than when winning this race last year.

Runner-up to improving winner at Wincanton on second chase start; entitled to respect.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A 2lb nudge up the ratings for IMPATIENT's narrow defeat at Market Rasen looks workable and this slight step up in trip could see him back in the winner's enclosure. The eight-year-old shades the vote over Chasingouttheblues, who should appreciate this ease in class. The hat-trick seeking Paddy O'Mahler and Wincanton runner-up Not A Light add further spice to the mix.

A hot little race. CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES has shown strong form on his last two starts and is the selection ahead of Paddy O'Mahler.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

BROTHER DAVE showed fine resolution on his reappearance to hold on at Southwell and backed that performance up when getting closest to a subsequent scorer over the same track and trip. He is most effective at that venue, but has gone well here before and is just about the form horse in the line-up. Spun To Gold took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up over 6f here and he won on his last try at this distance. Age Of Time has been beaten less than a length on his last two starts, and Pallas Lord cannot be dismissed lightly.

This could be the time to catch a seemingly back-to-form SPUN TO GOLD. Ian Williams' runner Age of Time is the principal danger.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

St Cuthbert's Cave would hold a leading chance judged on the pick of his form, but he pulled up at Ludlow and will need to put that behind him. With that in mind, PAUL MARVEL rates as the one to beat after scoring here in emphatic fashion and another bold bid looks likely. Prohus Yank was running with credit when unseating his rider at the final fence at Ludlow and may fare best of the remainder.

With the cheekpieces retained, solid-looking PAUL MARVEL may well complete a Leicester double. Just Lucky Sivola is second pick.

American Rose has been thereabouts in all three starts in classified races so far, including a narrow defeat here. However, RING OF GOLD just failed to catch the winner at Newcastle last month and, having landed a couple of handicaps on the Tapeta last autumn, the son of Havana Gold could prove the one to side with. Stacey Racey showed a bit more in this grade at Lingfield recently and is not totally discounted.

The vote goes to STACEY RACEY who chased home a subsequent handicap winner in a similar contest to this at Lingfield last time.

Dillarchie followed a second over C&D when finishing a respectable third at Sedgefield earlier this month and she rates as one of the likelier winners. However, it could be worth taking a chance on SMART BUCKS, who may have found his latest sixth at Wetherby coming too soon after a respectable runner-up effort behind a progressive rival at Hereford. It's Maisy and Edgewell could have a say as well.

After her good run It's Maisy should go well but preference is for MONSIEUR FUZZ on his first run back after wind surgery.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Having secured a ninth career victory at Wolverhampton, Bomb Squad merits respect in his bid to follow up. However, a 2lb higher mark does demand close to a career-best performance from the veteran and HABRDI may prove to be slightly better treated. Ruth Carr's gelding arrives on the back of a close-up third at Southwell and a 1lb nudge up the ratings might prove lenient. Jkr Cobbler is also of interest dropping in class.

Provided his latest effort is backed up, HABRDI may belatedly record a first success since joining his current stable.

Fairly useful on his day; one of the main players on ratings in this hunter chase debut.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Although he came to grief when sent off an even-money favourite at Warwick, JET PLANE is a clear pick on the ratings. Dan Skelton's charge had previously finished a good second off a mark of 137 at Sandown, suggesting that he will be difficult to beat in this company. Pyleigh Court is rated 14lb inferior to the selection but is feared most in his current heart, ahead of Bowtogreatness.

There's a strong case to be made for Jet Plane but PYLEIGH COURT is a plausible alternative.

HOMER STOKES has tumbled down the handicap, but bounced back to form when dropped into this lowly grade at Wolverhampton last time. Well clear of the rest when beaten only a neck in second, the eight-year-old is taken to regain the winning thread. Runner-up on his last couple of outings, Woodrafff is likely to prove competitive once again, while Laura's Breeze returns to 7f with a shout.

This can go to HOMER STOKES who has a good record here and ran well when a clear second at Wolverhampton last time.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Having recorded some useful form when trained by Aidan O'Brien, MAESTRO BERNSTEIN may put his experience to good use. The impeccably-bred four-year-old was last seen finishing a good third at Leopardstown and he sets a clear standard. Market confidence behind 750,000gns newcomer Domenico Contarini would be interesting and he's an obvious danger, with fellow expensive purchase Midsummer Storm completing the shortlist.

Maestro Bernstein is the form choice, while DOMENICO CONTARINI and Midsummer Storm are very interesting newcomers.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Several last-time-out winners to consider, with Yorkshire Glory a player after staying on gamely at Newcastle. However, a 2lb nudge up the ratings does ask more of the five-year-old and FOREVER NOAH is slightly more compelling reverting to 6f. Joey Ramsden's gelding posted a good second under a 5lb penalty at Wolverhampton and a 2lb lower mark may see him back in the winner's enclosure. Kipp Kelly is next best.

The choice is YORKSHIRE GLORY (nap) whose latest Newcastle success was in a stronger race. He must have a fine chance of following up.

Although foiled in her hat-trick bid when runner-up at Southwell, Dream Illusion isn't easily dismissed in her current form. However, Michael Herrington's filly may have to play second fiddle once more, with Lingfield scorer UNION ISLAND fancied to follow up. The introduction of cheekpieces appeared to improve the five-year-old and there could be more to come. How's The Guvnor is the pick of the remainder.

If still in peak form after some quick runs, DREAM ILLUSION should have some potential back at 1m. Union Island is next best.

PIPERSTOWN supplemented a victory at Wolverhampton with two creditable efforts in defeat at that venue and his latest second behind a resurgent winner reads well. Racing off an unchanged mark, the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal and he's taken to repel chief threat Gundogan. Tony Carroll's inmate was poorly placed on his latest fourth at Chelmsford and he continues to ease in the ratings. Glendown may fare best of the remainder.

This can go to PIPERSTOWN who has remained in form against some tricky opposition since his January win at Wolverhampton.

WICKSEY had little difficulty in completing a Newcastle double and he's difficult to oppose. Ben Haslam's gelding scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark won't halt his progress and his unbeaten record in handicaps can continue. Corduroy attracted some support on his handicap bow at Bath and a subsequent gelding procedure may see him in a better light, with Very Demure best of the rest.

This looks a good opportunity for WICKSEY who has been found another uncompetitive race in his hat-trick bid.

Rated 80, Hayynah sets the standard but she has failed to land the odds on three occasions now and AUTUMN AFFAIR looks the more progressive. The daughter of Kodiac found one too good when attempting to make all over 6f here on only her second start and this drop to the minimum trip looks a logical move. Mehmas Engine is a newcomer worthy of a second glance in the market.

This can go to HAYYNAH who may be suited by the drop to 5f having only just been caught over 6f at Newcastle last time.

ISLA BELLA's recent third at Wolverhampton can be upgraded as she failed to get a clear run. Joey Ramsden's filly looks worthy of another chance with normal luck in-running and she gets the vote. Lion Ring landed one of these events last time. However, the runner-up My Turn Now was beaten only a neck and the six-year-old may well improve past him.

Down in grade with a visor tried, dual C&D winner FORTUNATE STAR is beat Symbol Of Hope, who was an unlucky loser last week.

Successful at Kempton, Further Measure could shape well again raised only 2lb. He's preferred to Skycutter, who scored over 1m6f in a lower grade here last time, but KING'S CRUISER could prove too strong. Marco Botti's colt finished a creditable fourth when upped to this sort of distance at Wolverhampton for his handicap debut and looks one to keep on the right side of with plenty of scope for further improvement.

The vote goes to FURTHER MEASURE who is taken to enhance his good record over C&D (113).

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
