Races & Results Saturday 22nd March 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) West To The Bridge 8/1, Still capable of useful form despite his veteran status and turned in his best effort of the season to score for the first time in almost 2 years in 11-runner event at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) last month, jumping with more fluency than most of his chief rivals. 4 lb higher but remains well treated. Every chance on his Wetherby win but nagging concern that he'd prefer softer ground.
6
1st (6) (9/2 +44%) The Four Sixes
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(6) The Four Sixes 9/2, A useful 2m5f winning hurdler last term but failed to complete bot starts over the larger obstacles this season. Had too much use made of him back hurdling at Newbury (24.2f, soft) 6 weeks ago and the handicapper relinquishes his grip. Sean Bowen back on board. Won't mind returning to a shorter trip but has a good bit to prove now.
2
2nd (2) (8/1 -14%) Homme Public
8
8/1(-14%)
(2) Homme Public 8/1, Useful form as a chaser last season, including a Grade 2 win, but rather lost his way over fences. Capitalised on falling mark back hurdling when winning at Doncaster in December and back to best returned to chasing when runner-up there (16.4f, good) 3 weeks ago. Claims reverted to timber. Runner-up in this two years ago and returns after an excellent effort over fences.
8
3rd (8) (7/1 +42%) Mr Freedom
7
7/1(+42%)
(8) Mr Freedom 7/1, Most consistent sort who produced another likeable display when second to a big improver in the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton 12 months ago. Successful at Goodwood and Sandown on the Flat last summer and he's respected back hurdling after 7 months off. 11 wins pretty much split between hurdles and the Flat; lacks a run but on a good mark.
1
4th (1) (9/2 -13%) Thunder Rock
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(1) Thunder Rock 9/2, Very smart chaser at best but not at the same level in 3 outings over hurdles this season, latest when well-beaten fourth of 6 to Gwennie May Boy in Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Will find this easier back in a handicap but needs to show more. Below par this season but in three Grade 2s; too talented to rule out at this level.
9
5th (9) (15/2 +38%) Willaston
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(9) Willaston 15/2, A three-time hurdle winner since joining Mark Walford but proving more miss than hit of late, no better than mid-field on his last 3 outings. Handicapper given him a chance as a result, but he needs to show more before becoming of interest. Two years ago he was in cracking form but hasn't been close to that this season.
7
6th (7) (10/3 +58%) Gentleman Bill
3.333333
10/3(+58%)
(7) Gentleman Bill 10/3, Winning pointer who made a good start to his Rules career, winning 2m hurdles at this track (novice) and Doncaster (handicap) before Christmas. Another good run when second back in a novice at Catterick in January but wasn't up to the task back handicapping at Kelso (16.2f) since. Place claims. Progressing well until last time; will need his best form yet to take this.
3
|PU| (3) (9/2 -29%) Nusret
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(3) Nusret 9/2, Rather lost his way for Joseph Patrick O'Brien on the Flat and over hurdles last season, well beaten in the Galway Hurdle when last seen in August. Switched to Nicky Henderson since and could be worth chancing upped in trip provided he's ready to roll. If as good as he was and not held back by his fitness after 233 days away, he'd go close.
13:35 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
HOMME PUBLIC has switched between fences and hurdles this season and his most recent effort when second over the larger obstacles at Doncaster was highly encouraging. Runner-up in this contest off 2lb lower in 2023, the eight-year-old is preferred to the class-dropping Thunder Rock, and Nusret, who must be of interest on his first run for the Nicky Henderson stable. West To The Bridge is expected to be thereabouts as well.
A host in with chances but the vote goes to NUSRET, who rather lost his way for Joseph O'Brien but has gone well fresh in the past and now could be the time to catch him. Heading up the dangers is West To The Bridge, who proved he's still capable of useful form despite his veteran status when scoring at Wetherby last month and he remains well treated on the back of a 4 lb rise. The Olly Murphy-trained pair The Four Sixes and Thunder Rock can fight out third.
A good handicap to kick off. NUSRET has some class about him and he should be in his element around here on the forecast good ground.
(10) Rhodia 18/1, Still a maiden but posted a solid third on the back of 8 months off at Market Rasen (20.6f) in December. Fell next start but below best when sixth of 9 in handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the 1st time but likely vulnerable to less exposed sorts. Has placed form but he's 0-16 under rules (12 over hurdles) and latest run wasn't his best.
8
1st (8) (11/8 +45%) Too Cool Forshrule
1.375
11/8(+45%)
(8) Too Cool Forshrule 11/8, Little show in novice/maiden hurdles but much improved for switch to chasing when a ready winner of 6-runner Market Rasen handicap (17.2f) 6 days ago. Appeals as one to keep on side and of interest returned to hurdling operating from same mark. Won easily off this mark on last week's handicap/chase debut; clearly well in.
6
2nd (6) (3/1 +14%) Regal And Royal
3
3/1(+14%)
(6) Regal And Royal 3/1, Looked a work-in-progress in qualifying hurdle runs and duly stepped up from low base in handicaps, landing back-to-back C&D contests during first half of last year. Returns from 9 months off with yard going well and there's better to come this campaign. Player. Unbeaten in handicaps and both were over C&D on good ground last summer.
1
3rd (1) (8/1 +0%) Speiriuil
8
8/1(+0%)
(1) Speiriuil 8/1, Off the mark at Lingfield (19.5f) in November and all set to follow-up when unseating last at Huntingdon (20.6f) in January. Underperformed when well held sixth at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 4 weeks ago but no great surprise to see her bounce back returned to this shorter trip. In fairly good form until last time when perhaps resenting the heavy ground.
3
4th (3) (13/2 +13%) Rock Hurley
6.5
13/2(+13%)
(3) Rock Hurley 13/2, 4-y-o winner in France who returned to pick of his form for current yard in first-time blinkers when second in 7-runner C&D handicap 24 days ago. Eased further 2 lb ahead of this and he's worth a second look with the headgear retained. Second of three finishers on heavy here last time; drier ground could be troublesome.
9
5th (9) (25/1 +24%) Noplacetobe
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Noplacetobe 25/1, Irish point winner who didn't kick on over hurdles for Michael Scudamore during 2022.23 campaign. Easy to back, offered little after 22 months off for new stable when ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 28 days ago. This ought to reveal more. After an absence she never figured on debut for this yard in a 2m3f handicap.
4
6th (4) (50/1 -100%) El Fabienne
50
50/1(-100%)
(4) El Fabienne 50/1, Looked a weak finisher in a trio of bumpers for Willie Mullins but has displayed some ability in mares' novice/maiden hurdles for present stable. Last month's handicap debut effort at Hereford was disappointing, though. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on. Ran her best race in the reapplied tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now added.
5
7th (5) (8/1 +33%) Brockarno
8
8/1(+33%)
(5) Brockarno 8/1, Much improved when springing a 40/1 surprise in 19.5f Doncaster novice handicap in January, getting on top final 100 yds. Couldn't replicate that performance when eighth of 9 in handicap at Ludlow (21.2f) 23 days ago but return to forecast quicker ground here can help. Won on good to soft in January and last time can be excused on account of soft ground.
2
8th (2) (12/1 -60%) Yhprum's Law
12
12/1(-60%)
(2) Yhprum's Law 12/1, Kayf Tara gelding who finished midfield only start in bumpers last season but much more encouragement to glean from 2 of his 3 runs in maiden/novice hurdles at around 2m during second half of last year. Very much the type to do better given pedigree/connections and respected on handicap bow. Has hinted at better to come and must be of interest on his handicap debut.
7
|PU| (7) (40/1 +0%) Glenvango
40
40/1(+0%)
(7) Glenvango 40/1, Signs of ability in qualifying hurdle runs but easy to back and never threatened when well-beaten twelfth of 16 to Brockarno in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Eased 3 lb ahead of this but progress required. Couldn't raise his modest profile when tailed off on handicap debut (2m3f, good to soft).
14:15 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Similar to his stable, REGAL AND ROYAL could not be in better form at present and a further 4lb rise for his most recent success over C&D could prove lenient as he goes in search of the hat-trick. That may come at the main expense of Too Cool Forshrule, who scored over fences at Market Rasen last Sunday and reverts to the smaller obstacles off the same mark. Rock Hurley may also have a say.
REGAL AND ROYAL was much-improved switched to handicaps when registering back-to-back C&D victories during the first half of last season and, returning from an absence with his yard continuing in grand order, he's fancied to make his presence felt in the bid to land the hat-trick. Low-mileage chase scorer Too Cool Forshrule and Rock Hurley are others to consider, with Yhprum's Law a handicap debutant to note.
The improvement that TOO COOL FORSHRULE (nap) found last week was over fences but it was his first handicap and he didn't go unbacked.
(6) Stick With Me Sam 5/4, Has made a promising start over fences fitted with tongue tie, second in a good 2m Warwick handicap and again at Catterick last time, let down by some sloppy errors. Capable of winning a race like this if brushing up his jumping and Sean Bowen rides for the first time. Second in two soft-ground chases since tongue-tie was added; likely contender.
7
1st (7) (6/1 +14%) Orbys River
6
6/1(+14%)
(7) Orbys River 6/1, Scored in fine style from the front in 2m handicap chase at Ayr in January. Good second next time, before making bad mistake 3 out and well beaten in well-run contest at Leicester last month. She can bounce back. Began year with two good runs but form dipped last month; needs to rebound.
5
2nd (5) (7/1 -17%) Neigh Botha
7
7/1(-17%)
(5) Neigh Botha 7/1, Won 2m novice handicap hurdle at Southwell in November but typically let down by his jumping back over fences there the following week and off since. Others preferred. Spoiled chance by jumping badly left last time but remains on workable chase mark.
2
3rd (2) (14/1 -133%) Sovereign Star
14
14/1(-133%)
(2) Sovereign Star 14/1, From points and looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, his return from a 10-month absence (also had a breathing operation) in 17f Carlisle novice hurdle certainly not devoid of promise. Quickly switched to fences for handicap debut with tongue tie fitted. One to note. Showed only minor promise over hurdles; may improve on this chase/handicap debut.
4
4th (4) (17/2 -6%) As Tears Go By
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(4) As Tears Go By 17/2, Won 3 times over hurdles for Gordon Elliott. Below that form for a while, stopping the slide to an extent in handicap chases of late, albeit yet to get any closer than 14 lengths to winning for current connections. Tongue tie goes on and he's fallen again in the weights. Watch the betting. Safely held when making the frame in last three chases but mark continues to slide.
1
5th (1) (13/2 -86%) Boston Joe
6.5
13/2(-86%)
(1) Boston Joe 13/2, Has won a pair of 2m handicap chases at Ffos Las this season but ran badly over hurdles there 3 months on from an encouraging display at Chepstow under this rider, consistency seemingly a major struggle of his these days. Back over fences under Callum Pritchard. Not dismissed. Pulled up on heavy ground last month but a player if judged on autumn form on good to soft.
8
6th (8) (28/1 -40%) Chateau Du Lys
28
28/1(-40%)
(8) Chateau Du Lys 28/1, No form in novice hurdles and quickly switches to fences for handicap debut (was runner-up in a point). Well beaten in three novice hurdles but has lowly mark for chase/handicap debut.
3
7th (3) (17/2 +39%) Limetree Boy
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(3) Limetree Boy 17/2, Not so good in 2 runs since his C&D second in May and back from another 3 months away. Second over C&D last May but absent since a poor performance in December.
14:52 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up on his last two starts over 2m, STICK WITH ME SAM is going to win a race like this sooner rather than later and the booking of Sean Bowen is a big plus. A winner at Southwell on his penultimate outing (hurdles) before disappointing at the same track last time, Neigh Botha must enter calculations, as well as Boston Joe, who could be interesting returned to chasing.
Quite a few of these are interesting and STICK WITH ME SAM gets the vote to go one place better than on his last 2 outings in the hope he can cut out the mistakes with Sean Bowen up for the first time. Boston Joe is certainly capable of a big run if in the mood, while Sovereign Star could do better now chasing and the well-handicapped As Tears Go By would be appealing if the betting spoke in his favour.
He's not yet proven on the forecast good ground but STICK WITH ME SAM has been shaping very much as though his turn is near.
(3) Lazy Sunday 5/1, Winless since completing a chase hat-trick at the beginning of 2023 but back on-song this season, placed all 4 starts since returning to action in October. Remains on a workable mark and this 11-y-o is likely to give another good account. All three chase wins in 2023 but running well on soft and return to good ground will suit.
8
2nd (8) (14/1 -17%) One Last Glance
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) One Last Glance 14/1, Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on return in October and also opened chase account at Fakenham (21.2f, soft) on New Year's Day, despite making mistakes. Jumping was again far from foot-perfect when fourth at Catterick since and stamina to prove now trying 3m. In good form but this is stronger than the 2m5f win in January and he tackles a new trip.
5
3rd (5) (11/4 +61%) Express Surprise
2.75
11/4(+61%)
(5) Express Surprise 11/4, Reacted well to a tongue tie when placed on 2 of his last 3 starts in handicap hurdles and progressed further when running out a convincing winner on chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f, heavy) in January. Mistakes proved costly at Market Rasen next time but could have a say granted a clear round here. Won chase debut over 2m7f; spoilt chance with 2 bad mistakes since; still has potential.
11
4th (11) (33/1 +50%) Higgs
33
33/1(+50%)
(11) Higgs 33/1, Enjoyed something of a purple patch last May, scoring at Uttoxeter and Ffos Las, but he hasn't show much in 4 runs since returning from a break in November. 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Well handicapped on two 3m wins last May; out of sorts now and 7lb out of the weights.
6
5th (6) (11/2 +54%) Tedwin Hills
5.5
11/2(+54%)
(6) Tedwin Hills 11/2, Opened his account in a Huntingdon handicap chase for Emma Lavelle in October 2023 but seen out just 3 times since, offering little both starts for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole following almost a year off. Fair bit to prove starting out for another new yard here. Had a good 2m7f win in 2023 but well below that level in 3 runs since; another new yard.
9
6th (9) (4/1 +64%) Dusautior
4
4/1(+64%)
(9) Dusautior 4/1, Built on previous promise when opening chase account off 2 lb higher over C&D last spring. Solid placed efforts at Ffos Las and Carlisle earlier this season but form has dipped badly since undergoing another round of wind surgery in December. Narrow C&D winner last April; low key since wind op; down the list for now.
7
7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Iron D'ex
14
14/1(-17%)
(7) Iron D'ex 14/1, Made a winning start over fences at Ludlow in October and has posted some respectable efforts in defeat since. Perhaps the testing conditions were against him at Hereford last time but others make more appeal in any case. Won chase debut at 2m4f; wouldn't want rain and still to prove as good at 3m as shorter.
1
|PU| (1) (9/1 -64%) The Wrekin
9
9/1(-64%)
(1) The Wrekin 9/1, Off the mark over fences at fourth attempt in 3m Market Rasen handicap in August 2023. Best effort since in first-time visor (retained) when runner-up at Wincanton (25f, soft) last time but he didn't look especially keen (awkward head carriage late on) and wouldn't be sure to build on that. Down weights; slow to find form since absence but better latest and now down in grade.
15:27 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RECORD HIGH appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 3m2f at Fontwell a month ago and the eight-year-old merits plenty of respect on the back of that performance, despite a 4lb rise. Esperti was also successful on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection. That said, Jo Lescribaa and Lazy Sunday are others who arrive here with strong form claims.
LAZY SUNDAY earns top marks for consistency and she is taken to deservedly get her head back in front with the drying ground in her favour. Next on the list is Record High, who opened his account at Fontwell and a 4 lb rise for that doesn't look harsh. The Wrekin is not short of ability but it remains to be seen if he will be able to build on his latest effort at Wincanton.
The tendency to jump right is offputting for ESPERTI but he was right back on his game at Ffos Las and has every chance of another win.
(6) Andy Amo 7/2, Just modest in bumpers but has surpassed that form switched to hurdles this season, clearly benefiting from the step up to 23.3f when making it third time lucky in this sphere at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. More needed now handicapping but, on the upside, he's unexposed. Unexposed 6yo; won Uttoxter maiden when upped to 2m7f; makes handicap debut today.
5
2nd (5) (11/2 +75%) High Game Royal
5.5
11/2(+75%)
(5) High Game Royal 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler who put in good shifts when going close in 23f handicaps at Exeter and Lingfield on first 2 starts of this season. However, his form has dipped the last twice and others make more appeal. Twice went close in the autumn and his last two runs were better than the bare form.
10
3rd (10) (9/2 +82%) Thankyourluckystar
4.5
9/2(+82%)
(10) Thankyourluckystar 9/2, Recorded second hurdles success at Worcester last summer and didn't shape badly when third of 9 back from a break at Southwell in November. However, he has failed to match that in 3 subsequent starts and stamina to prove on this first run beyond 21f. Ran okay over 2m last month but probably needs a career-best effort over this new trip.
3
4th (3) (9/4 +80%) Solar System
2.25
9/4(+80%)
(3) Solar System 9/4, Hasn't done much wrong since venturing down the handicap route, off the mark at Fontwell last spring and winner of 3 of his 6 appearances at up to 21f this season. Wasn't disgraced at Newbury 3 weeks ago, leaving the impression that this new trip is worth exploring, but he needs to raise his game. Progressive 6yo; three hurdle wins this season; tries a new trip today; shortlisted.
8
|PU| (8) (10/3 +58%) Horsesomeharry
3.333333
10/3(+58%)
(8) Horsesomeharry 10/3, Fitted with cheekpieces and a different proposition on handicap debut/reappearance when successful at Carlisle in November. Back on the up with a decisive victory at Doncaster (20.8f, good) recently but now finds himself 7 lb higher in the weights and pitched into a stronger race. 5l winner at Doncaster this month and now 2-5 in handicaps; enters caculations.
16:02 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SUNSHINE DIAMOND made a winning debut for these connections in a 3m Southwell novice hurdle in October and Neil Mulholland's gelding merits the utmost respect on his handicap debut. Sole Solution is another progressive gelding who has to be of interest following back-to-back victories in recent months, while Andy Amo edges out Land Genie and Solar System to be the pick of the remainder.
The two that appeal most are hat-trick seekers SUNSHINE DIAMOND and Sole Solution, both of whom are heading in the right direction and remain with potential. The former is one of very few of these who are proven over this trip and, assuming all is well following a break, he could be the answer. Double Click arrives here in good form and will be a threat if his stamina passes the test.
Almost all of these make appeal for one reason or another but, with a good 5lb claimer enlisted, HIGH GAME ROYAL gets the nod.
(4) Ki Woo 13/2, Fair maiden hurdler in France. Hasn't reproduced that sort of form in 2 runs for present yard but it's still early days. Should win races but may have to raise his game if he's to beat stablemate Carrig Kate.
2
2nd (2) (8/1 +33%) Jomig Des Bois
8
8/1(+33%)
(2) Jomig Des Bois 8/1, £45,000 buy after winning point in Ireland in October 2021 but seemingly hard to train having shown just modest form in 2 hurdle starts 13 months apart. Needs this run for a handicap mark. Long absences a feature in his profile; fair run last time and should have more to offer.
8
3rd (8) (2/13 +87%) Carrig Kate
0.153846
2/13(+87%)
(8) Carrig Kate 2/13, Winning pointer who made the frame sole outing in bumpers and has been placed all 3 starts over hurdles, including when third in listed event at Doncaster (24.4f) 3 weeks ago. Leading claims back down in grade/trip. Held her own in a 3m Listed race at Doncaster and dropping in trip shouldn't bother her.
3
4th (3) (66/1 +0%) Kallow Point
66
66/1(+0%)
(3) Kallow Point 66/1, Little promise in 3 runs over hurdles, including on first start for present yard after 2 years off at Hereford in January. Up in trip. Placed in point bumpers but has shown no worthwhile form under rules.
6
5th (6) (50/1 +0%) River Rider
50
50/1(+0%)
(6) River Rider 50/1, Runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers but has made no impact either start over hurdles. Up in trip. His last two races have been won by good horses but he was beaten 16l and 22l.
9
6th (9) (100/1 +0%) Feryl Beryl
100
100/1(+0%)
(9) Feryl Beryl 100/1, Just poor form over hurdles to date, so easily passed over on these terms back from 12 months off. Seven-race maiden with a basement mark and has been absent for 12 months.
16:37 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 3)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CARRIG KATE produced a career-best effort to make the frame in Listed company at Doncaster earlier in the month and now drops back into a maiden. The seven-year-old should have no problems with this drop back in trip and can get off the mark. Atlantic Lad hasn't finished out of the frame on each of his three starts over the smaller obstacles and should remain competitive, while Ki Woo is also noted.
ATLANTIC LAD has shown enough on all 3 of his starts to date to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass and, with the emphasis likely to be on speed as opposed to stamina, it's possible he may have too many gears for his chief rival Carrig Kate, who drops back in trip following a good third in a mares listed event at Doncaster. Ki Woo can fill the places.
This looks good for the mare CARRIG KATE who held her own in a 3m Listed race last time. Atlantic Lad is next best.
(2) Kuzco 14/1, Yet to get his head in front and tried in cheekpieces when a below-form sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Reverts to hurdles with work to do. Twice well held since promising chase debut; now back hurdling over new trip.
1
2nd (1) (13/2 +19%) Best Life
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(1) Best Life 13/2, Still a maiden and he came in only 14th of 17 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Still needs considering off a falling mark. Second off this mark on handicap debut a year ago but yet to strike form this season.
5
3rd (5) (12/1 +25%) Izzy's Grey
12
12/1(+25%)
(5) Izzy's Grey 12/1, Second on his Hereford handicap debut for Jennie Candlish in October 2023 but hasn't managed to build on that in his 4 starts since. Others are much preferred. Good second on handicap debut in 2023 but well below that form since stable switch.
3
4th (3) (9/1 -13%) Ballyvaughan Bay
9
9/1(-13%)
(3) Ballyvaughan Bay 9/1, Took a sizeable step forward when opening his account upped to 3m at Southwell last June but not in the same form when fifth at Stratford and Warwick since. Returns from a six-month lay-off with a bit to prove. Made all at Southwell last spring but absent since below-par run in September.
9
5th (9) (10/1 +60%) Jumbo Veste Verte
10
10/1(+60%)
(9) Jumbo Veste Verte 10/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser who came in only sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Switches to hurdles with more required. 11-race maiden who reverts to hurdling after three underwhelming chasing attempts.
8
6th (8) (18/1 -13%) Uncertain Terms
18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Uncertain Terms 18/1, Maiden pointer who has been well beaten in a trio of maiden hurdles this year. In good hands but needs a subsequent wind op to spark major improvement now going into handicaps with tongue tie and cheekpieces added. Well beaten in novice/maiden hurdles but may yet deliver on promise shown in Irish points.
6
|PU| (6) (4/1 -14%) Mersey Street

(6) Mersey Street 4/1, Got off the mark in 23f handicap hurdle at Fakenham in January and not disgraced despite beating only one in similar event there following month. Possibilities. Not at best last time but dominated from the front at Fakenham two starts ago.

(7) Charming Getaway 13/8, Progressive sort who opened his account in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 23 days ago, responding well. Up 6 lb but expected to be bang there with this longer trip also a positive. Fended off unexposed/well-backed rival to open account last month; major player.
17:10 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CHARMING GETAWAY led towards the finish to score by just under a length over 2m5f at Ludlow last month, shaping as if this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Mel Rowley's eight-year-old is 6lb higher but expected to complete a double. Superior Glance wasn't disgraced in third over C&D on her latest outing and is noted along with Mersey Street.
CHARMING GETAWAY took another step forward when getting off the mark at Ludlow last time and with this step up in trip another likely plus he gets a confident vote. In-form maiden Superior Glance could emerge as the main danger with Mersey Street and Best Life worthy of consideration too.
This looks good for CHARMING GETAWAY, who has made steady progress this year and is bred to be suited by today's step up in trip.

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.

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.
