Hello Garda

40
40/1(-60%)
(3) Hello Garda 40/1, Disappointing Flat return beaten 10l in a classified race at Nottingham last time; effective 10f on fast ground; showed minor promise on Flat, stamina to prove for hurdling.
Limited Flat maiden who was well beaten in a small field on his hurdling debut; opposable..

(1) Vietnorm 8/11, Too much to do having been hampered at start beaten 9l in a handicap at Ripon last time; in good form prior; effective 2m, acts on good; progressive on Flat, likely more to come over hurdles.
After a gelding operation he won two 1m2f handicaps and comfortably accounted for three rivals on his hurdling debut; suffered early interference when only fifth in his latest Flat run; in good nick but the penalty asks something of him..

5/2(-11%)
(6) Salkadan 5/2, Got racing too early well beaten in a handicap at Ffos Las latest; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; 11f Flat winner has joined top yard; threat on hurdle debut.
Had six runs for Dan Skelton on the Flat, finishing second and first in opening two handicaps (at about 1m4f) before a poor final run; has since had wind surgery and should make a hurdler..

Zooter

13/2(-63%)
(8) Zooter 13/2, Ran to form 3l third in a handicap at Leicester most recent run; inconsistent on Flat but showed promise over middle distances on fast ground; top jockey booked; could get involved on hurdle debut.
Nine-race Flat maiden but was placed and had a similar level of form in that sphere to Salkadan; could go well on hurdling debut and Sean Bowen is 7-14 for the yard..

14/1(-27%)
(7) Us Officer 14/1, Showed minor promise on debut when second beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m, acts on good to firm; should improve a little for initial experience.
One competitive run in six Flat starts and exposed as modest; runner-up last week at Newton Abbot but he was beaten 12l by the winner in a poor-looking race..

25/1(-79%)
(9) Adba 25/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; off a short-break; showed modest form on Flat at around 1m; yard has enjoyed success in this discipline but big ask on hurdle debut.
Left Ralph Beckett for 9,500gns and as a five-race maiden (1m-9.4f); it wasn't a bad final run (fifth of ten; in a tongue-tie and cheekpieces) and as a 3yo filly she receives all the allowances..

Keep Under Wraps

25
25/1(-233%)
(4) Keep Under Wraps 25/1, Refused in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot latest when challenging; effective 2m, acts on good; touch unlucky on debut but did show signs of a temperament.
9-4 for a Newton Abbot maiden and was competitive when running out at the penultimate flight, albeit in a three-runner race; could have some part to play..

(2) Al Za'ama 18/1, Needed run well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; off a short-break; showed only minor promise on Flat over 1m; big ask on hurdle debut.
Ran three times for Andrew Balding, the standout run when fourth of eight in a 1m AW novice in December; changed hands for 2,600gns and now gelded..

80/1(-220%)
(5) Nicolai 80/1, Headgear didn't work this time down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; poor on Flat at around 1m; can only be watched on hurdle debut.
Modest form in five defeats for Jack Channon (7f-1m) and wouldn't be the obvious answer on hurdling/stable debut; cheekpieces replace a visor..

VIETNORM struck twice on the level in May before winning impressively on his hurdling bow at Market Rasen. Things didn't work out back on the Flat next time, but he's got bags of scope for improvement in this discipline and is fancied to defy the 7lb penalty on this occasion. Salkadan is an interesting recruit to hurdling for the Skelton team, whilst others to note include Keep Under Wraps and Zooter.

Asset

0.153846
2/13(+62%)
(3) Asset 2/13, Ran to form when second beaten 3l in a novice at Windsor latest; trainer in form; effective 1m, stays 10f, acts on good and AW; consistent, every chance.
Minor honours all four starts; back to 1m from 1m2f when second in a Windsor novice (good to firm) 13 days ago, put firmly in her place by the winner; not progressing but clearly the best form claims in this tiny field..

Albemagic

4
4/1(-33%)
(1) Albemagic 4/1, Outpaced, improved up in trip but looked in need of stiffer test when second beaten 6l in a novice at Chester latest; effective 7 1/2m, acts on good; if sorts out concentration at start could improve, longer trip should help.
Beaten 22l at Carlisle (7f, soft) on debut but his 6l second of four when 33-1 again in a novice at Chester (7.6f, good) four weeks ago was a great deal better; shapes as if 1m will help but Asset has markedly better form..

3rd (2) Feliz Navidad (28/1 -180%)
Feliz Navidad

28
28/1(-180%)
(2) Feliz Navidad 28/1, Yard has won 2 of last 7 runnings of race; far too free comfortably held in a maiden at Redcar last time; bred to be suited by 1m+; looks one for handicaps after this.
Fifth of six in maidens at Beverley (8.4f, good) in June and Redcar (7f, good to firm) last Saturday, showing modest form on debut but suffering a heavy defeat last time; may prove capable of better in due course but seemingly best watched for now..
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

ASSET produced another solid effort when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Windsor on her most recent start and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Albemagic improved on his debut seventh when second over an extended 7f at Chester latest and needs to be considered, while Feliz Navidad appears to be up against it.

Northern Rose

3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(9) Northern Rose 10/3, Ran to form when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Stratford latest; suited by 2m, gets 2m3f, needs sound surface; exposed maiden in decent form.
Now 0-26 over hurdles after last week's defeat at Stratford but she's knocking on the door; unlikely to be far away off the same mark..

(6) Curious Mrs Fox 18/1, Too much to do off steady pace, improved when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; usually held up; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; should improve if ridden more positively in handicaps.
Longstanding Flat maiden who is 0-5 over hurdles; beaten about 9l last time at Hexham but she's unconvincing..

(3) No Risk Today 4/1, Improved suited by positive ride down in trip at stiff track beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Worcester last time; effective 2m, acts on good; point winner, still early days in handicaps.
Winning pointer; lightly raced over hurdles and latest second at Worcester (back at 2m) was her best run yet; has to be of interest..

7.5

(5) Culligran 15/2, Travelled, returned to form just out-battled late by strong stayer beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Worcester last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; consistent and on workable mark.
Has won over hurdles and fences off slightly lower marks and ran a solid race in defeat in a 2m4f handicap chase at Worcester last time (second run for this yard); this drop in trip shouldn't hurt her chances..

Bumper winner but no sign of that form over hurdles and now makes her handicap debut; risky..

Bumper/hurdle winner; had plenty of chances in handicaps and was a long way behind No Risk Today in the latest; now goes in a tongue-tie..

Won her first two handicaps by a length and latest Bangor run (after a collective 13lb rise) was too bad to be true; could yet prove herself worthy of this mark..

(7) Lady Fortune 2/1, Improved again back down in trip landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; may have bit more to offer over middle to staying trips.
After a wind operation she was first and fourth in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps for previous yard; joined this one for £3,000 and coped fine with the drop back to 2m when a clearcut winner here 11 days ago; raised 8lb but she's clearly turned a corner..

9/1(-38%)
(11) Myfavouritesister 9/1, Keen, made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Perth last time; blinkers first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface; consistent maiden, strong stayer.
16-race maiden who has the odd piece of respectable form but she hasn't always looked straightforward and best efforts have been between 2m4f and 3m; blinkers replace cheekpieces..
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

LADY FORTUNE powered clear to score over C&D under Isabelle Ryder recently and Barry Brennan's mare looks worth keeping on side as she bids to defy a subsequent 8lb rise. Prettylady's hat-trick bid fell flat at Bangor but it could have been that a small-field scenario didn't suit so it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back. No Risk Today and Culligran are others to consider.

115,000euros breeze-up purchase, by Blue Point; 20-1 when fifth of six in a maiden at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, making an awkward start and never dangerous; could be a lot wiser this time but two of today's rivals have clearly accomplished more..

Very green when last of six here (6f, good) on debut but he left that form way behind when an always-prominent third of six in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) three weeks later, finishing narrowly in front of Calef on same terms as today; should figure prominently again..

Front rank long way when third in a Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on the third of her four starts, her most professional performance and best form; get messed around early and looked less straightforward at Hamilton (5f, good) last time but ran on to finish a head behind Onslaught on same terms; they are the two leading form contenders, albeit not setting a high standard..

Too green on debut at Bath (5f, good) but made most in a novice at York (6f, good to firm) four weeks later, finishing only sixth of eight but that performance showed promise and she has a useful sprinting pedigree..

By Holy Roman Emperor; fifth foal; sister to 1m/1m1f winner Way To Dubai (RPR 96), half-sister to two winners including Lady Zoumzain (Listed-placed 5f/6f including 2yo; 92); dam German 7.5f 2yo winner, half-sister to Italian 1m Group 3 winner Salford Secret; one to note from powerful stable whose 2yos continue to make a serious impact..

Bolt Of Blue failed to land a blow when fifth on his introduction at Yarmouth, but the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests a big run could be in the offing. Even so, NAVAL COP looks the way to go. Andrew Balding's filly showed bags of pace when weakening into sixth over 6f at York earlier this month and the drop to the minimum distance might just work the oracle. Newcomer Shaqra Queen warrants a market check.

It was only a Class 5 he won at Worcester (2m, good) but that was straightforward in the new tongue-tie and he ran fairly well off a 6lb rise in a small-field Class 3 at Newton Abbot; travels strongly and well worth considering down 1lb..

Only win in 18 runs over hurdles was in a maiden on penultimate start in April, that after finishing a well-held third in a 2m4f handicap; latest run at Punchestown three months ago is forgiven (tried a visor) but he's unconvincing against some of these..

Runner-up in his first handicap (on good) before making all the running on soft ground at Hexham; went up 9lb for that but failed to give his true running at Perth after racing freely; not yet exposed..

DROMBEG LAD broke his hurdling duck impressively at Worcester and now goes handicapping with the potential to find bags of improvement. A few of these have questions to answer, so he might not need to find much more to double up on this occasion. Emerald Time failed to back up his Worcester triumph but remains of interest, as does Bright Legend, who will find this easier than the Punchestown Festival handicap he contested in April.

(2) Polygram 7/2, Ran to form, had run of race from front down in trip beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Ayr last time; stays 10-12f, acts on good to soft and an sound surface; longstanding frustrating maiden has been running well off similar marks.

Last four wins have been over C\u0026D, including when he was switched to this headgear nine days ago and got up close home to register his best show this season (The New Bay Pearl fourth); back up 3lb but still well treated on 2025 form; has to be in serious calculations..

3yo who wore an eyeshield over 1m2f on last three starts, winning at Leicester (good) and Wetherby (good to firm) on first two occasions; never dangerous at Beverley latest but it was another creditable run; not the most straightforward and needs extra on this return to 1m, but still respected given questions over today's opposition..

Finished second or third in her first six starts, before off the mark in a five-runner handicap at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) nine days ago in second-time blinkers; often front-runner, including for that win; up 5lb but just a 3yo and could have more to offer..

Has gained all four handicap wins over the extended 1m at Beverley, two this May; underwhelming prospects judged on two runs here, admittedly back in 2024 but he looks opposable seeing as he may well need a career best..

Bradbury wasn't able to bring up the hat-trick when only sixth at Beverley latest, but takes a drop in trip and remains of interest. Recent C&D scorer Mount King is another to note, but the vote goes to STELLA LUCENTE. Jack Morland's charge made every yard of the running to shed her maiden tag over an extended mile at Hamilton and a 5lb rise might prove to be lenient.

Strike-rate of 5-15 over fences, winning a small-field handicap at Market Rasen in October (2m5f, good; has won over 2m7f) for the last of those wins; his close third of four on his belated return to hurdling last month was an encouraging run and should have teed him up nicely for this; on a fair mark and that's without factoring in his jockey's claim..

Won twice in France but winless for Willie Mullins despite showing useful form on occasions over hurdles; left that yard for 64,000gns; ran no race on stable debut (second chase start) but did show more behind Sunray Shadow here 11 days ago, though that was his first run at 3m and he didn't appear to get home..

Imperial Alex beat Grand Clermont (fourth) to win the Summer Cup over track and trip last month and is expected to uphold that form in his bid for a hat-trick. The Flying Poet struck by three lengths to make it three wins from his last four starts at Perth and is now worth his place at this level, but it's SUNRAY SHADOW who appeals most. The rapidly improving son of Blue Bresil accounted for Sony Bill (third) by 11 lengths when successful over C&D earlier this month and can continue his rise in the ranks.

He hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he is a tough and reliable performer who was as good as ever with his excellent second of eight in a Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago; sets the standard and looks the one to beat..

Two wins in 1m handicaps at Goodwood last autumn; began the season with three good runs, notably his second of 18 in a 1m handicap at York in May, and latest disappointment can be attributed to his messy start (reared as the stalls opened); should go well..

Prominent racer; close third in a handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 months ago represents her best form but it is still a level or two beneath what will be required today; hood (tried on final 3yo start) returns..

Holloway Boy finished an excellent second in the Summer Mile at Ascot latest and seemingly holds all the aces down in class, but POINT LYNAS gets the nod. Victorious in this contest back in 2024 before finishing last of six when sent off as favourite 12 months ago, he returned to form with a creditable fourth in a warm handicap at York last time and can build on that performance to regain his crown. Cerulean Bay can chase the pair home.

Has done well since arriving from Ireland and was delivered late to win handicaps at Hexham (extended 2m7f), Cartmel (2m6f) and here on Friday (2m4f) when he sat last for a long way but won easily in the end; huge chance if turned out quickly with a penalty..

Ex-French 6yo who has hit the ground running for David Pipe, winning two of his three starts (all over fences; 2m4f-3m); the latest here over 3m was fairly comfortable and he's 1lb lower for this return to hurdles over which he won in France; clear chance..

Karnaval Point made it two wins from three appearances over fences for the David Pipe stable and has to be considered back over hurdles, but it may pay to side with PADDY DE POLE. Paul Nicholls' charge returned to action to fill the runner-up spot over 2m4f at Worcester and is likely to appreciate this step back up in distance. Tyson and Shallow River appear best of the remainder.

All three wins were 1m2f on Newcastle AW last October-December; his three races this year suggest that the handicapper has caught up; this is also only his third race on turf, having twice been towards rear last June, so he has a bit to prove on this first run since his second wind surgery..

Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding..

JEZ BOMB was no match for an easy winner over a mile here when attempting to follow up on his earlier course triumph, but with a return to further likely to be of benefit, he can gain compensation. Percy's Daydream struggled at Newmarket but this isn't as competitive and he may bounce back. Don't rule out Pomme Pomme, who has already won three times in the hands of Rose Dawes.

28/1(+30%)
(8) Buddah Castle 28/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest when beaten; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; form of debut win over hurdles modest and struggling since.
Won a small-field maiden hurdle in December; essentially disappointing since and he was out the back when unseating in handicaps over fences and hurdles..

Country Park won by half a length in this grade at Bangor on his latest outing and he should mount another bold bid, while Lakefield Flyer is a player based on his Stratford triumph two starts ago. However, AT THE OCHE is the choice of Harry Skelton out of the trio of Dan Skelton runners and the son of Ocovango makes his first appearance for the yard after undergoing a wind operation. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see him make a winning chase debut.

It's been a relatively quite spell for the Mick Appleby yard but there have been shoots of a revival of late and the consistent STARSONG looks worth chancing now she runs off a competitive mark. Battenburg Belle, Bullington Bry and My Boy Jack have stronger recent form than the rest and are suggested as the main threats to the selection.

Won at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 but he's not seen much action since and struggled over hurdles and fences on last five outings (for Clare Hobson); now 14lb lower than for his win and was second favourite at Worcester (2m7f; six-runner race) ten days ago, but refused to line up; wore cheekpieces twice recently and now it's a hood; 4lb out of the handicap..

Bumper winner; took a while to get his act together over hurdles but got up close home at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in May and, although a beaten favourite, he's run creditably over about 3m/3m2f in his two starts since; needs to resume progress in today's first-time headgear..

Irish point winner who's 0-8 under rules and there have been a few blips in his form; rallied when a good second over 2m at Worcester (good) on penultimate start but not proven beyond that, despite several attempts; tongue tied on last five starts and now also sports cheekpieces..

0-11 overall, mostly in Ireland, and she's not yet lived up to her bumper form; cheekpieces last four starts, tailed off in a handicap at Stratford (extended 2m2f) latest; stays 2m4f but this needs to be one of her good days..
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Royal Rocket had been improving until posting a below-par effort over 2m7f at Market Rasen last month and may bounce back over this shorter trip on his handicap bow. However, preference is for JAFIMGOSO, who should also be suited by cutting back in distance and has to potential to improve with first-time cheekpieces added. Purple Owl tries the same headgear combined with a tongue-tie and is another to bear in mind.

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

The unexposed Goyard had excuses last time at Ripon and could have a say in proceedings if breaking on terms. The Good Biscuit went up 3lb for scoring at Catterick last time and commands plenty of respect, but the vote goes to IRIS DANCER. Tristan Davidson's mare arrives in terrific form, having won three of her last five starts, and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old.

1-4 over hurdles in 2022-23 and he's since been 1-12 over fences; peak form came in 2m chases early in 2025 and there have been a couple of significant absences since; the backward steps on last two chase starts, however, prompt some caution on this return to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces..

FISKARDO has bags of scope and is fancied to build on two placed efforts to get off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles. The son of Sholokhov debuts in a handicap off a potentially workable rating, with his chance boosted further by the promising Shane Fenelon claiming 5lb once again. Uhtred Ragnarson drops in class and must be feared at this level, while The Secret Pearl and October Hill are options for each-way players.

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.
