Arcadian Emperor

0.615385
8/13(+15%)
(1) Arcadian Emperor 8/13, Very promising debut when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; effective over 2m2f and acts on heavy ground. His point win has been boosted under rules and he should be winning soon for top connections.
Point winner, not suited by a modest gallop in a bumper, hurdling debut was encouraging.

(16) Lunar Majesty 100/1, Improved a little for debut experience when comfortably held in an auction hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective over 2m and acts on heavy ground. Probably one for handicaps after this.

150/1(+0%)
(14) Lady Aquarelle 150/1, Moderate debut when down the field in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown last time; improvement needed.
Let down by her jumping in points, never in the hunt on hurdling debut at Punchestown.
LTO Selection:

ARCADIAN EMPEROR has been running well and is useful. Out of a half-sister to high-class hurdler Arctic Fire, he was an impressive point-to-point winner last March and while beaten as favourite on two subsequent starts, he contested a useful Leopardstown bumper over the Christmas period and then bumped into an on-song Shuttle Diplomacy in Naas, where he finished ahead of today's rival Le Roi Du Livet. Speculateur was also a beaten favourite twice recently and is vulnerable to smart types but has been running consistently and is suited by testing ground. Gainsville and reappearing Kiely's Place step up from point-to-pointing and appeal most of the remainder.

Willie Mullins appears to hold the aces and should collect with ARCADIAN EMPEROR whose Naas second represents useful form

(5) Fair Damsel 8/1, Down the field in the Challenge Race at Punchestown most recently; former maiden hurdle winner; handled heavy ground on the flat; needs to prove ability remains after lay off.

Villagers Cross

16
16/1(+27%)
(4) Villagers Cross 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on decent ground; needs more now handicapping.
Didn't show much in novice/maiden hurdles; pulled up on handicap debut at Limerick.
LTO Selection:

OU DONE WELL debuts for new connections and might win this weak claimer on his first start since October. The selection scored over hurdles at Limerick last May and while his best placings have come on a sound surface, he has shown bits of form on heavy and is more sprightly than his rivals. Stablemate Oh So Charming has useful handicap form but today's really testing ground is a concern. Gather Yourself is suited by heavy ground and ran well in December, but would prefer a much longer trip.

More negatives than positives for most of the field. OH SO CHARMING (NAP) ticks the most boxes and should win if he handles deep ground

(6) Burano Murano 5/2, Improved for testing ground when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon by 4l last time. Effective at 10-12f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles, and suited by cut. Fairly consistent on the Flat, but this is tougher than his latest hurdles win.

Lady Blackmore

(8) Lady Blackmore 25/1, Badly hampered by fallers and eased when comfortably held in a maiden bumper at Huntingdon last time. Brings some potential to hurdles, but will need to show improvement on what she has achieved so far.

(4) Lord Chamberlain 50/1, Never in the race on a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton most recently. Has a bit to prove over hurdles and needs to show more than on that first effort.

Jacquette

100
100/1(+0%)
(7) Jacquette 100/1, Showed nothing when down the field in a bumper at Chepstow most recently. Returning from a break and looks in need of more experience before she can be competitive at this level.
Struggled to get competitive in two autumn bumpers; makes hurdling debut today.
LTO Selection:

TALES OF BRAVERY has taken a step in the right direction since not running up to scratch on his first start over hurdles at Chepstow. Dan Skelton's gelding ran out a comfortable winner at Uttoxeter last month and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop him. Burano Murano won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last Thursday and may prove to be the main threat, while Jet Steel heads the remainder.

Dan Skelton's TALES OF BRAVERY dominated from the front at Uttoxeter last month and a similar outcome seems very likely here.

(7) Don't Call Me Sue 100/1, Too keen and below debut level down the field in a bumper at Hereford most recent; may do better now hurdling but likely up against it.
Well down the field in two bumpers; can only be watched on this hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:

Things didn't work out for FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN in the River Don but he can bounce back in these much calmer waters, not least because he's favoured at the weights. C&D winner Calvino is one of only a few of these to show an aptitude for hurdling so far and it's possible that he could take another step forward, whilst Khafre appeals most of the remainder.

Syd Hosie's KHAFRE shaped well when fourth in a good Wincanton novice in December and is given the verdict.

(7) Millady 100/1, Ran to form when finishing down the field in a mares bumper at Ludlow last time. May need more time over hurdles.
Soundly beaten in both bumpers and improvement is needed now tackling hurdles.
LTO Selection:

The Procrastinator made the perfect start to life over hurdles at Hereford recently and is a real player once again, but the vote goes to TUNISYA. She was switched to Faye Bramley after winning at Pau on Christmas Eve and given that she still holds a Cheltenham entry at this stage, the daughter of Tunis could be useful. Rules newcomer Madeforlovingyou warrants a market check.

The ex-French TUNISYA won on her debut at Pau on Christmas Eve and is taken to make a winning start for JP McManus and Faye Bramley.

(7) Koolio Kate 22/1, Outpaced and appeared unsuited by the drop in trip when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park most recent; effective at 2 1/4m on heavy and needs more to get off the mark.
Minor encouragement in fourth place in Limerick maiden hurdle in November.
LTO Selection:

COURTBRACK BOY was no match for an easy winner when runner-up here last month and now contests an ordinary handicap. Prior to that recent effort, his best placing was in a good-ground handicap at Listowel last September but he showed an ability to handle heavy ground last month. That race's wide-margin winner notably subsequently improved his rating by 24lb. Finnicky Filly defeated Chemdawg into third when scoring over C&D in December and both should again be competitive if replicating that form. Long-standing maiden Blue Reed was well held on his recent start but had previously shown some solid form.

Topweight BACK TO CALI will appreciate the drop back to this trip and is fancied to come out on top

(2) Ballycamus 3/1, Travelled well and returned to form on better ground, aided by the leaders getting racing early, landing a handicap by a length off a 1lb lower mark here last time; off a short break; effective around 3m, acts on any; consistent.
Nudged up only 1lb for hard-fought C&D win in December; likely contender again.

(8) Rockinastorm 10/3, The yard has won 2 of the last 9 runnings of this race; had every chance and ran to form when stepped up in trip but was outstayed and well beaten in a handicap chase at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective at 3m, acts on any, and back on a workable mark returning to favoured venue.
Dual course winner; last two runs just respectable but he can't be ruled out off this mark.

(4) Minella Blueway 7/2, Won this race last year; returned to form when dropped in grade and allowed an easy lead, rallying when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Plumpton last time; effective at 3m, suited by cut, and may be worth a go over a marathon trip but a threat if getting a stiff test here.
Won this in 2025 and last month's Plumpton second was a return to form; respected.

(3) Galop De Chasse 12/1, Outpaced and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time; off a short break; best around 2m4f and acts on soft and good; a bounce back is needed.
Ran at Bangor yesterday, weakening in third of four when falling at the last.
LTO Selection:

BALLYCAMUS has won on his last two C&D appearances including when last seen in December and this has likely been the plan since that display. The handicapper only raised him 1lb for that success and he makes plenty of appeal once again. Minella Blueway should be suited by going this way round having jumped to his right when runner-up at Plumpton. Aboutdamntime and Beachcomber complete the shortlist.

The pick is PRINCE ZALTAR, who can be excused his recent hurdle defeat and is interesting if judged on his Doncaster run in December.

(11) Bowmans Dream 100/1, Found to be lame when pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective from 2m to 2m2f on a sound surface, but he has a massive absence to overcome.
Soundly beaten in 2023 and absent since; returns 6lb out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:

A confident vote goes to COOLER THAN ME, who made it two from two in handicaps with a facile C&D win a fortnight ago. Fergal O'Brien's charge had Talap well in arrears that day and a 9lb rise shouldn't be enough to halt further progress. Marhaba Million was no slouch on the Flat and cannot be ruled out, whilst Diamond Days should be happier back over hurdles.

With solid claims so hard to find in this line-up, the chances are that recent C&D winner COOLER THAN ME can complete his hat-trick.

(6) Cahier's Den 6/1, Outpaced but ran to form on chase debut when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest flying home from unpromising position. Effective over 2 1/2m. Should come on for that initial experience and may get this bit further. Looks a major player.
3m point winner who is a possible improver now up in trip on his second chase start.
LTO Selection:

It's hard to conclude that DIAMOND DEALER didn't stay in the Borders National, but he'd been progressing nicely up until then and might bounce back to form following an 81-day break. Buckna didn't jump well at Newbury latest but is still learning and should not be underestimated, although recent Hereford faller Ski Lodge looks a bigger threat given his profile.

He may have been pulled up in the Borders National over 4m but DIAMOND DEALER still shaped as though he may be ahead of his mark.

Never a factor on Punchestown handicap debut last month; best watched at present.
LTO Selection:

HARTY CUP ran well on handicap debut last month and has every chance of improving from his current rating. Placed third in a point-to-point on debut last March, the selection's initial hurdles form was poor but showed more at Gowran in January. Donnrua Dream bounced back to form when scoring in first-time blinkers at Limerick recently and is likely to enter calculations, despite being 9lb higher. King Bob has run well on yielding ground in his last two starts and completes the shortlist.

It would be no surprise to see market support for the JP McManus-owned HARTY CUP, who was an eyecatcher on his Gowran handicap debut

Out of form this season; a big leap of faith is required to support her here.
LTO Selection:

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA gained the perfect confidence booster after a heavy fall over fences just before Christmas when switching back to timber at Plumpton last month. The seven-year-old remains capable of further improvement and is taken to handle a 5lb rise. Love Of Neymore has run some solid races in defeat this season, most notably when third to Ma Shantou at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, and she is respected along with Magical Maggie (first) and Masked Dance (second), who fought out the finish here earlier in the month.

She needs to redeem herself after a mishap but the form of her two runs in January looks strong, so LOVE OF NEYMORE gets the vote.

8yo who has lost her way and things have not gone well in two chase runs this winter.
LTO Selection:

FAT FACED COLUMBO has been a revelation since going over fences in November. The Mahler gelding was just touched off at Exeter before bolting up over C&D and again at Chepstow, so a hat-trick looks within his compass from 6lb higher. Move With The Beat took a step forward to win at Ludlow most recently and first-time cheekpieces could elicit improvement from Wheresmemoneygone.

The vote goes to FAT FACED COLUMBO, who is 2-3 over fences and won by 8l when he was left clear in a big field at Chepstow last month.

(7) Berry Edge 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 8 1/2l into third in a handicap hurdle at Catterick most recently. Effective at 2m. A multiple Flat winner who needs to build on that latest effort over hurdles.

Road To Rosley

18
18/1(+0%)
(4) Road To Rosley 18/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Carlisle latest. Cheekpieces worn for the first time. Effective at 2m. Has plenty to prove after a lay-off.
9yo; hard to fancy on majority of his form but not discounted now back in a handicap.
LTO Selection:

Voodoo Angel has been holding her form well in handicaps of late and can be expected to mount a serious challenge, as can Master Dunraven, who showed considerably more when third at Plumpton last month. However, TOBY TWO SCOOPS gets the vote. Micky Hammond's charge failed to see out an extended 2m3f here latest but looks to have been found a decent opportunity back at 2m.

The 4yo TOBY TWO SCOOPS was pulled up here last time but was shaping well previously and is given another chance in this weak contest.

(8) Set The Tone 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest. Effective over 2m and acts on good ground, but has plenty to prove on the back of that effort.
Ordinary form in handicap hurdles; pulled up on chase debut at Thurles.
LTO Selection:

MOUNT FRISCO has done most of his racing over fences but has good recent form and makes plenty of appeal from his current hurdles rating. A three-time winner and ideally suited by testing conditions, the selection last raced over hurdles in April but, having scored gamely over fences at Gowran recently, is now rated 109 in that sphere. Is Charlie Around has been running well and is also suited by testing conditions. Tingarran Express seems ground versatile but hasn't raced since winning in August. Handicap debutant Political Stance tries heavy ground for the first time.

MOUNT FRISCO showed battling qualities when scoring over fences at Gowran 12 days ago and can take advantage of a 7lb lower hurdle mark

(8) Est Illic 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Effective from 2m4f-3m and needs to prove his ability remains following a long lay-off.
Veteran who has not shown a great deal since returning in December from a long absence.
LTO Selection:

EVERYONESACRITIC had plenty in hand when returning to winning ways over 2m5f at Hereford a couple of weeks ago and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following up here. Anytrixwilldo hit the crossbar over C&D when last seen in January and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Kit's Coty and Martalmix'jac are also noted.

Class-dropper KIT'S COTY will be suited by today's move back up in trip and will hopefully have been refreshed by her ten-week break.

(2) Jatiluwih 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Newbury last time; returning from a long layoff; effective over 2m3f-3m on any ground; might need this.
No win under rules since 2019 but often competitive; absent since last March.
LTO Selection:

After three second-placed finishes the consistent Inferno Sacree looks worth a try over this longer trip, while Malago Rose is noteworthy off bottom weight, with Bradley Harris easing the task further with his 3lb claim. However, SNAPDANCE, who was a close second over C&D on his penultimate start, looks the safest option given he has looked progressive since being stepped up in distance. Harry Kimber gets on well with the selection and can guide the low-mileage seven-year-old to a first career win.

Snapdance earns plenty of plaudits for his C&D second but preference is for the very lightly raced and unexposed HANDIN MANYPOCKETS.

(2) Frisby 12/1, Far too free and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Catterick last time, having been in good form prior. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m, acts on soft and good ground; consistent over fences and could bounce back.
Went close over fences here in December but tailed off in recent novice h'dle at Catterick.
LTO Selection:

The consistent LARGY FORCE goes well for Sean Bowen and looks the percentage call after three solid displays for her current yard. Unlucky not to back up her Uttoxeter win when she was was edged out in a tight finish at Windsor latest, there is plenty to like about her attitude and 2lb nudge doesn't appear restrictive. Roger Rarebit has also been in good heart and must be feared on these terms. Onesoc's yard won this last year and he is an interesting each-way option.

The progressive LARGY FORCE (nap) was second in a quality mares' handicap at Windsor latest and can capitalise on the drop back in grade

Seems to have lost his way, tailed off in a handicap chase at Thurles three weeks ago.
LTO Selection:

BROWN BOOTS justified strong market suport at Navan last month and he looks to be a handicap blot reverting to hurdles. He is suited by today's conditions and is much better than his 84 rating. Milanaway and Cordal Boy were each placed at Thurles recently, while Great Island scored here in December but disappointed on his latest start. Roccabaker has been running well in similar handicaps and likes testing ground.

The step up to this trip did the trick for BROWN BOOTS on his chasing debut at Navan and he can now capitalise on this hurdles mark

15/8(+6%)
(7) Jukebox Joker 15/8, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Warwick on his penultimate start. Effective at 2 1/2m; inconsistent but could progress now he has had his head in front.
Won at Warwick last month and ran well behind next-time-out winner three weeks ago.

(3) Little Pi 2/1, Built on a recent revival, which had been franked, when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good, and is well treated on old form; recent efforts boosted and remains competitive.
Resurgent 8yo who kept on well to score at Huntingdon this month; major player.

(2) Wakey Wakey Man 11/2, Ran to form, just flattening out late over a longer trip at a stiff track when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective over 2m4f with cut in the ground and in fair form. This looks easier than recent Irish assignments.
Placed in two big-field handicaps for new stable since December; appeals most.

(1) Broadway Honey 6/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when beaten 19l into third in a novice hurdle at Hereford on her most recent run. Off a short break; acts on good ground; consistent in maidens but her opening mark demands more.
Displayed promise in three maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn; handicap debut today.

0-6 as hurdler; didn't run badly at Warwick last month but needs a better finishing effort.

Regressive 10yo; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others appeal more.

(5) Ocean Walz 20/1, Too free and well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; needs more now handicapping.
Unable to land a significant blow when 50-1 for handicap debut over C&D three weeks ago.

Kingston Kid

50
50/1(+0%)
(6) Kingston Kid 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time and is off a long absence. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts with cut; a winner in Ireland but has plenty to prove after another lay-off.
Struggled on both starts for current stable in 2024; back from long absence today.
LTO Selection:

LITTLE PI was second twice before winning over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon three weeks ago and the in-form eight-year-old merits plenty of respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Jukebox Joker is another who arrives with strong form claims, following a Warwick win and Sedgefield second, while Broadway Honey should not be underestimated on her first start in handicap company.

This can go to the Irish raider WAKEY WAKEY MAN (nap), who was clear of the others when chasing home a gambled-on rival last month.

0-9 over fences but had tough tasks in Listed events lately and this is more realistic.

No joy in two chase runs at Huntingdon and needs a transformation with headgear added.

(1) Lazy Sunday 16/1, Below form, failed to pick up when fourth beaten 36l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; off a short-break; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on S and G; bounce back needed.
Four-time chase winner but she struggled at Warwick last time and needs to bounce back.
LTO Selection:

FORTUNE DANCER has proven to be tough to overhaul when she gets her own way and may be able to round out a four-timer, despite going up 30lb since her winning spree started. This is still realistically within her range now that the penny has dropped over fences. Cooleenymore and Overabottleofred are other consistent options to consider, while Lazy Sunday is no back number and should give another good account.

This can go to the progressive FORTUNE DANCER (nap), who made it 3-3 over fences when battling well to beat a clear second at Windsor.

(4) Pinot Rouge 25/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; effective at 3m and acts on soft and good; inconsistent, on a fair mark on hurdle form but yet to convince over fences.
Won at Hexham last June but patchy profile subsequently over hurdles/fences.
LTO Selection:

Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy are a rewarding partnership to follow and they can strike again with the unexposed WOODLAND PARK. On just his fourth start in a handicap, the son of Walk In The Park was only half a length away from rewarding favourite backers when second at Uttoxeter most recently and looks very capable of brushing off a 2lb rise. Skuna Bay, Arcadian Star and Blue Carpet form the shortlist of threat, in that order of preference.

Course maiden hurdle winner BLUE CARPET was a good second on his handicap debut at Newbury and is selected to go one better.

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.
