Races & Results Thursday 26th December 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Lavida Adiva 9/4, Still to score in handicap company and hasn't really fired in a couple of outings this term. Others preferred. Soundly beaten on both runs this term but now back down in grade; capable off current mark.
8
2nd (8) (18/1 +45%) Sweet Magic
18
18/1(+45%)
(8) Sweet Magic 18/1, Would have gone close but for departing at Warwick (19f) in November of last year and may have needed outing, on first start since, when seventh at Ffos Las (21.9f) 36 days ago. Still looking for first success, though. Feasibly treated on 2023 form and may have needed the run at Ffos Las last month.
1
3rd (1) (12/1 +0%) Lunar Discovery
12
12/1(+0%)
(1) Lunar Discovery 12/1, Dual bumper winner who also won a pair of novice hurdles last season. Far from disgraced on chase debut at Carlisle last month but subsequently well held back in this sphere at Cheltenham recently. Others more convincing. Down the field on both runs this term but in tough races; not ruled out back down in grade.
2
4th (2) (13/2 -86%) Little Miss Dante
6.5
13/2(-86%)
(2) Little Miss Dante 13/2, Won first 2 starts last term but has yet to score since and went backwards from reappearance at Warwick last month. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Inconsistent across her 4 runs this year; could leave latest run behind if settling better.
9
5th (9) (13/8 +35%) Crystal Glance
1.625
13/8(+35%)
(9) Crystal Glance 13/8, Won 2 of her 4 starts over hurdles and improved again when good second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good, 11/2) 26 days ago. Likely has more to offer yet and this longer trip may well be up her street. Two wins from first three starts then bumped into thriving winner; firmly in calculations.
3
6th (3) (14/1 -115%) Victoria Milano
14
14/1(-115%)
(3) Victoria Milano 14/1, Reportedly bled when pulled up at Ludlow in April but had won 2 of her first 3 starts over timber and is worth monitoring in market on return to action. Well beaten on final two runs last term but lightly raced and looked promising previously.
5
7th (5) (25/1 -108%) Majestic Jameela
25
25/1(-108%)
(5) Majestic Jameela 25/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles last term but fell heavily early on at Chepstow in October and may have needed the outing when below par at Carlisle last time. Not out of things. Promising juvenile last season and the first-time cheekpieces may help her jumping.
6
|PU| (6) (17/2 +39%) Touchy Feely
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(6) Touchy Feely 17/2, Ran creditably over C&D in May but has disappointed twice since, including on return at Sandown last month. Bit to prove now. A return to form is needed but she's edging down the weights and is not written off.
11:55 Aintree Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CRYSTAL GLANCE pulled clear with a subsequent three-time winner when scoring over 2m at Uttoxeter on her handicap debut, before finishing an admirable second behind a useful type at Doncaster. Stepping up in trip off a 3lb higher mark, she looks the one to be with. The class-dropping Little Miss Dante hasn't been disgraced, despite being a beaten favourite the last twice, and she warrants the utmost respect at this level. Lavida Adiva looks the pick of the remainder.
CRYSTAL GLANCE is going the right way and this longer trip could unlock further improvement. She is fancied to return to winning ways. Could Be Trouble and Majestic Jameela can also make their presence felt.
A chance is taken on SWEET MAGIC, who makes her second start since an absence and is on a handy mark on her best 2023 efforts.
(3) Imperial Saint 11/4, Bagged back-to-back course handicaps (both 15.8f) on first 2 starts over fences this autumn. Hit with a 10 lb rise for second of those victories and proved disappointing at Newbury latest but is still low mileage and he has scored over this longer trip before. Dual winner here in autumn; disappointing last time but returning to Aintree could help.
1
2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) Richmond Lake
3
3/1(+0%)
(1) Richmond Lake 3/1, Had a prolific period in 2023, completing a four-timer over C&D 12 months ago. Seemed to lose confidence in his jumping thereafter but right back to best, after 7 months off, when fourth in last month's Grand Sefton over the National fences. Likely contender. C&D winner; fourth over the National fences here last month; should go well off same mark.
5
3rd (5) (11/10 +21%) Westerninthepark
1.1
11/10(+21%)
(5) Westerninthepark 11/10, Bumper/dual hurdles winner who made a winning start in this sphere at Stratford (20.9f) in October and backed that up with creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 39 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Progressive 6yo; bumped into an unexposed rival at Cheltenham; looks the one to beat.
2
4th (2) (12/1 -100%) Heltenham
12
12/1(-100%)
(2) Heltenham 12/1, Improved again last season, the highlight being his victory in Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury (20f) in March. Disappointed at same venue on return last month but may have needed that and he could be a player. Recent form figures are 8F8; beat just one on reappearance; needs to get back on track.
4
5th (4) (16/1 -88%) Herbiers
16
16/1(-88%)
(4) Herbiers 16/1, Useful handicap hurdler and similar form over fences, running well when second of 4 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f) in May of last year. Looked badly in need of run, on first start since, at Wetherby last month and this should reveal more. Took well to fences in 2022-23; showed little over hurdles last month after long layoff.
12:30 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
RICHMOND LAKE reappeared with a highly encouraging fourth in the Grand Sefton here and that should have teed him up perfectly for a tilt at this. Off the same mark as when successful over C&D last season, Donald McCain's charge gets the nod. Westerninthepark was a solid second behind a smart type at Cheltenham and he commands attention off 3lb higher. Heltenham didn't fire on his Newbury return, but better is expected now.
Preference is for RICHMOND LAKE, who is back on his last winning mark and ran a cracker in the Grand Sefton here last month. Westerninthepark may have more to offer over fences yet and rates the principal threat.
Progressive and boasting some solid form, WESTERNINTHEPARK (nap) looks the one to beat after a fine second at Cheltenham last month.
(6) Potters Charm 1/1, Runner-up only outing in points and unbeaten all 4 starts under Rules, finding further improvement when taking 5-runner Hyde Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Sets the standard on form and remains open to further progress. 4-4 under rules and a fine prospect; Grade 2 Cheltenham winner last time; key player.
5
2nd (5) (6/1 +20%) Miami Magic
6
6/1(+20%)
(5) Miami Magic 6/1, Only narrowly failed to land a course bumper on NH debut in May and has won both his starts over timber, latest when forging clear in 11-runner novice at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Asked a bigger question now but it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. Impressive winner at Fakenham and Kempton; this is tougher but he's not without hope.
3
3rd (3) (28/1 +15%) Good And Clever
28
28/1(+15%)
(3) Good And Clever 28/1, Made a very promising start to his career in bumpers in the spring, winning convincingly at Warwick before an excellent third in Grade 2 at this course in April. Posted encouraging second in Newbury maiden (16.3f) on hurdles debut last month but takes on much better company here. Promising in bumpers; second to high-class prospect on hurdling debut; commands respect.
1
4th (1) (7/1 -17%) Celtic Dino
7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Celtic Dino 7/1, Dual bumper winner who made the perfect start over hurdles when winning Wincanton novice (15.2f) in October and looked potentially useful when following up at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Enters calculations. Unbeaten over hurdles at Wincanton and Ascot; in deeper waters here but not discounted.
2
5th (2) (11/2 +0%) Country Mile
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(2) Country Mile 11/2, Landed the odds at Ayr on hurdles bow in October and improved in both outings since, most recently when winning 4-runner novice at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, impressively. Likely has more to give yet. Beaten just once in four outings under rules; won in a canter last time; high on the list.
4
|PU| (4) (11/1 -10%) Junker D'allier
11
11/1(-10%)
(4) Junker D'allier 11/1, Found only one too good all 3 starts in bumpers last season and perfect start in this sphere when winning novice at Carlisle (17.2f) in October. Followed up in impressive style at Bangor (16.7f, soft) last month and is well worth his place in this higher grade. Ready winner of novices at Carlisle and Bangor; up in grade but has untapped potential.
7
|PU| (7) (15/2 -67%) Roadlesstravelled
7.5
15/2(-67%)
(7) Roadlesstravelled 15/2, Successful in all 3 starts over hurdles and has found improvement on each outing, latest when landing Newton Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, soft) 33 days ago by 3 lengths from Country Mile. Remains with potential. 3-3 over hurdles; beat Country Mile in Grade 2 last time; another personal best is likely.
13:05 Aintree Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Unbeaten in four starts under Rules, Potters Charm arrives on the back of an impressive victory in a Cheltenham Grade 2 over 2m5f and he will doubtless be popular with punters once more. The step back in trip does pose a question to him so a chance is taken on ROADLESSTRAVELLED, who showed a likeable attitude when beating subsequent winner Country Mile at Haydock and can confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory once more. The form of Celtic Dino's recent Ascot triumph has a strong look to it and he must enter calculations, while Junker D'allier could be anything.
POTTERS CHARM is yet to taste defeat under Rules and upped his game further when scoring in decisive fashion at Cheltenham last month. He can extend his winning run. All of his rivals are open to improvement but Country Mile and Roadlesstravelled are feared most.
All of these have potential but POTTERS CHARM has the best form and Nigel Twiston-Davies' 5yo is taken to extend his winning run.
(4) Red Dirt Road 12/1, Dual hurdles winner (at upto 16.7f) who ran a cracker when second from a 2 lb higher mark at Warwick (21f) during early 2023. Feasible to think the run was needed after 19 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 25 days ago and this should reveal more. Shaped as though he would improve for recent comeback run; lightly raced; interesting.
7
2nd (7) (9/2 +31%) Patriotik
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(7) Patriotik 9/2, Point winner who opened Rules account in a 2½m Ffos Las novice in March. Sound start to life in handicaps when fifth in Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October prior to unseating at Haydock 33 days ago (in process of running poorly) but far too soon to be writing him off. Promising fifth of 17 in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow and he's one to consider.
3
3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Uncle Bert
10
10/1(-25%)
(3) Uncle Bert 10/1, Useful hurdler who posted a career-best effort when adding to his tally at Bangor (19.6f) in March. Hasn't convinced in trio of starts over fences this autumn but this return to hurdling can see him in a better light now. Bumped into well-treated winner over fences here latest; not ruled out now back hurdling.
2
4th (2) (5/2 +9%) Act Of Authority
2.5
5/2(+9%)
(2) Act Of Authority 5/2, Three-time winner as a novice and he built on his reappearance run at Chepstow when impressively landing 9-runner handicap at Sandown (19.8f) in November. Unpenalized for that and followed up in ready fashion at Wetherby 6 weeks ago and respected despite career-high mark. Arrives on hat-trick; 8lb higher than for last two wins but could take it in his stride.
5
5th (5) (2/1 +40%) Florida Dreams
2
2/1(+40%)
(5) Florida Dreams 2/1, Grade 2 bumper winner who doubled his hurdles tally on return at Hexham (16.2f) in October prior to a good fifth in last month's Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham. Cheekpieces worn then are retained here and he's respected back in calmer waters/back up in trip. Kept on for fifth in the Greatwood at Cheltenham and this longer trip could prove ideal.
9
6th (9) (12/1 -50%) One Eye On Vegas
12
12/1(-50%)
(9) One Eye On Vegas 12/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning pair of slow-ground handicaps in January/February. Back on the up when resuming winning ways at Leicester (20.5f) 21 days ago and he's fancied to give another good account up in class from this 5 lb higher mark. Won at Leicester three weeks ago and this lightly raced 7yo could continue to improve.
6
7th (6) (14/1 -27%) Bingoo
14
14/1(-27%)
(6) Bingoo 14/1, Four-time 2m hurdle winner who landed this race 12 months ago off this mark. Hasn't been able to replicate that level subsequently, unlikely to have finished any better than fifth when unseating on return to action at Carlisle (20f) 53 days ago. Same mark as when winning this last year; he was running pretty well when unseating latest.
8
8th (8) (40/1 -122%) El Jefe
40
40/1(-122%)
(8) El Jefe 40/1, Had a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory of the campaign when landing amateur riders' handicap (16.5f) at the National Meeting in April. More on his plate from career-high mark on seasonal return and this will understandably demand more. Had wind surgery. Won competitive handicap here at the National meeting but this is his first start since.
1
|PU| (1) (100/1 -52%) Call Me Lyreen
100
100/1(-52%)
(1) Call Me Lyreen 100/1, Useful hurdles/chase winner in his pomp for Gordon Elliott but didn't look the force of old earlier this year for that yard. Starts out for new stable on the back of an 8-month break and others make greater appeal. On a competitive mark on peak form but below best last season; has changed stables.
13:40 Aintree Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A respectable fifth in the Greatwood last time out when keeping on at the finish, FLORIDA DREAMS looks well worth a go at this trip and the fact he won a Grade 2 bumper here is another plus. An easy winner within a week at Sandown and Wetherby, Act Of Authority is a key player in his bid for the hat-trick, while Uncle Bert is interesting on his return to hurdles. El Jefe, who sprung a surprise at the Grand National meeting here, cannot be be ruled out on his reappearance.
ACT OF AUTHORITY is asked his sternest question to date now his new mark has kicked in, yet he could well be up to the task judged on the manner of his victories at Sandown/Wetherby and he shades the vote with the Olly Murphy stable continuing in fine form. Florida Dreams and Patriotik rate next best, ahead of Uncle Bert who switches back from a spell chasing.
Having kept on well for fifth over 2m in the Greatwood at Cheltenham, FLORIDA DREAMS could prove ideally suited by today's trip.
(5) Fortunate Man 15/8, €210,000 buy after winning an Irish point 18 months ago and successful on 2 of his 3 completed starts over hurdles last season. Left chase debut form behind when second of 12 in Carlisle handicap (24.5f, soft) 25 days ago and likely has more to offer yet. Went very close at Carlisle on second chase start and this 5yo could have more to offer.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +11%) Gustavian
4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Gustavian 4/1, Sole success over fences to date came in 3-runner affair at Exeter back in February 2023 and failed to build on encouraging Badger Beer Chase return at Newcastle last month. Others more appealing. Just 1-19 over fences and pulled up last time, but not discounted off an enticing mark.
4
3rd (4) (13/2 -30%) Duke Of Deception
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(4) Duke Of Deception 13/2, Three-time winner over fences who returned to best form, in first-time tongue strap, when good third of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy, 6/1) 19 days ago. Races off same mark here and ought to go well again. Returned to form when third at Wetherby; contender if the absent tongue-tie isn't an issue.
1
4th (1) (28/1 -75%) Whistleinthedark
28
28/1(-75%)
(1) Whistleinthedark 28/1, Winner of 4 of his 12 starts over fences but was more miss than hit last term and it's been a similar story in a trio of outings this season. Dropping down the weights but well beaten at Doncaster recently when back from a break.
8
5th (8) (8/1 -23%) Jar Du Desert
8
8/1(-23%)
(8) Jar Du Desert 8/1, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. Not at that level for present yard but posted creditable second on return in Wetherby handicap (24.2f, good) last month and is entitled to build on that. 5yo who reappeared with good second at Wetherby and could build on that performance.
6
6th (6) (25/1 +24%) Busty Boy
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Busty Boy 25/1, Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points so no surprise he left hurdles form behind when making a winning chase debut at Kelso on return last season. Made the frame on next 5 starts but shaped as if amiss on return at Carlisle earlier this month. Runner-up three times in a row in the spring but pulled up on recent comeback at Carlisle.
3
|PU| (3) (11/4 +0%) Ikarak
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(3) Ikarak 11/4, Bounced back to form, on debut for new yard, when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (5/4) at Warwick (25f, soft) 36 days ago. Won twice over larger obstacles in France in 2022 and looks fairly treated back in that sphere. Respected. Won over hurdles on last month's stable debut; on the shortlist now back over fences.
14:15 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FORTUNATE MAN showed major improvement from his first to his second start over fences when narrowly denied at Carlisle and a 4lb rise for that effort could prove lenient. The five-year-old has most to fear from Ikarak, who justified favouritism on his first start for Olly Murphy over the smaller obstacles at Warwick. Duke Of Deception and Gustavian are capable of getting involved as well.
FORTUNATE MAN posted a personal best when only narrowly failing to score at Carlisle earlier this month and is unexposed as a staying chaser. He can open his account over fences here. Ikarak and Duke of Deception should also go well.
The 5yo FORTUNATE MAN was short-headed at Carlisle this month on his second chase start and can go one better today.
(4) Doyen Du Bar 15/8, Back from 5 months off when taking 5-runner handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft, 3/1) 54 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and he remains low mileage in this discipline. First win over fences when making all at Ayr; 3lb rise looks fair; strong contender.
3
2nd (3) (6/4 +40%) Booster Bob
1.5
6/4(+40%)
(3) Booster Bob 6/4, Boasts a fine strike rate, winning 5 of his 9 starts, including a successful chase debut at Ffos Las (16f) in October. Well below that level when third in Warwick handicap (16.2f, soft) latest but has had a wind operation since and remains fairly treated. Made winning chase debut at Ffos Las; had wind op after weakening next time; respected.
2
3rd (2) (9/4 +36%) Inedit Star
2.25
9/4(+36%)
(2) Inedit Star 9/4, Dual bumper winner in France and useful form over hurdles. Runner-up all 4 starts for this yard, including back over fences at Bangor (17.4f) when last seen in May. Can go well fresh and warrants respect on return. Personal best when beaten by thriving rival at Bangor in May; in the mix again after break.
14:50 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
After winning well at Ffos Las, there is no doubt that BOOSTER BOB was disappointing when only third at Warwick last time. However, that was probably a really strong race, given the winner subsequently finished runner-up in a Listed contest, and Olly Murphy's charge is worth another chance. Only four go to post but this is competitive, with Ayr winner Doyen Du Bar and the consistent Inedit Star in opposition. Ballee is also interesting going second time up after wind surgery on his chase bow.
DOYEN DU BAR hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for his winning Ayr reappearance and can follow up. Booster Bob rates the principal danger.
The safest option is DOYEN DU BAR who jumped soundly when making all at Ayr and may have even more to offer.
(1) Dalston Lad 10/11, €115,000 4-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Won sole start in Irish points (Apr 21) and maintained his unbeaten record despite clear signs of inexperience when taking 7-runner Ayr bumper (2m) in October. Open to improvement and he's evidently a useful prospect. Player. 2-2 in point/bumper; form of latest success looks solid; useful prospect who can win again.
6
2nd (6) (3/1 +54%) The Blue Room
3
3/1(+54%)
(6) The Blue Room 3/1, €70,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Dicey Rielly, stays 3¼m. Dam (h110) bumper/25f hurdle winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 14). One to note on Rules bow for stable going great guns. Shaped nicely when second in Irish point; yard does well in bumpers; appealing profile.
3
3rd (3) (16/1 -60%) Swindon Village
16
16/1(-60%)
(3) Swindon Village 16/1, Cost plenty following success only start in points and despite settling less well than his rivals, followed up on bumper debut at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Open to improvement. Promising second on point debut, then won a Ffos Las bumper; plenty of untapped potential.
5
4th (5) (7/1 -40%) Race To Base
7
7/1(-40%)
(5) Race To Base 7/1, €28,000 3-y-o, £75,000 4-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Real Milan. Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 19) and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant on debut for good yard. Dug deep to win Irish point in October; plenty of stamina in his pedigree; one to consider.
4
5th (4) (12/1 -243%) Is This For Real
12
12/1(-243%)
(4) Is This For Real 12/1, £26,000 3-y-o, £80,000 4-y-o, Vendangeur gelding. Dam unraced sister to 19f hurdle winner Sang Dolois. Successful sole outing in points (April 2024) and he's an intriguing Rules debutant for a yard who have enjoyed plenty of success in bumpers around here. Changed hands for £80,000 after winning a point; well worth a market check on rules debut.
2
6th (2) (12/1 -33%) Old Blue Eyes
12
12/1(-33%)
(2) Old Blue Eyes 12/1, Blue Bresil gelding who marked himself down as a good prospect when making a winning debut in 7-runner bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f) 30 days ago, leading under 2f out and asserting final 100 yds. Feasible to think there's better still to come. Made a winning debut at Sedgefield when a well-backed favourite; not dismissed lightly.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The bumper OLD BLUE EYES won at Sedgefield looked a strong race. The second has since franked the form by winning at Catterick and Donald McCain's charge might be a bit of value in the finale up against Dalston Lad, a point-to-point winner who made no mistake on his Rules bow at Ayr in October. Perhaps Fergal O'Brien's horses have started to turn a corner following Crambo's Long Walk success, and point scorer Is This For Real could go well as a result.
Despite clear signs of greenness DALSTON LAD was still able to run out a ready winner of a 7-runner Ayr bumper 2 months ago and, entitled to have derived plenty from that, Dan Skelton's charge is fancied to follow-up. Fellow debutant winner Old Blue Eyes and newcomer Is This For Real head up the dangers in the finale.
None can be ruled out but top billing goes to DALSTON LAD, whose impressive Ayr success has had its form boosted already.

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.
