The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Dan Gun 1.62/1, Justified strong market support when making a winning start for this yard at Stratford (22f, good) recently. 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from striking again.
1
2nd (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Rubytwo
6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(1) Rubytwo 6.5/1, Wasn't winning out of turn when opening hurdles account in a Newcastle mares' maiden (20.3f) in November. Below par since, but down in class and the weights here, so she's worth considering.
7
3rd (7) (20/1 -11%) Nefyn Point
20
20/1(-11%)
(7) Nefyn Point 20/1, Sole hurdling win came in 2019 and arrives here on the back of a string of inauspicious displays. Claims if able to bounce back, but it's clearly a big 'if'.
2
5th (2) (33/1 -65%) Brother Pat
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Brother Pat 33/1, Encouraging third in a Stratford novice in October, but he has offered little switched to handicaps the last twice and hopes now pinned on first-time cheekpieces.
12
6th (12) (20/1 +39%) Watchman
20
20/1(+39%)
(12) Watchman 20/1, Appeared to take a step forward when fourth on handicap debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter in October. However, failed to match that form back there the following month and he's been absent since.
3
7th (3) (33/1 -106%) Lady Sally
33
33/1(-106%)
(3) Lady Sally 33/1, Point winner who stepped up plenty on her reappearance run when third at Leicester in November. Completely bombed both starts since, though, and she has a point to prove now.
13
8th (13) (5/1 +50%) Say The Word
5
5/1(+50%)
(13) Say The Word 5/1, Some decent efforts to his name, including when sixth of 16 in a 3m Taunton handicap last time. However, record over hurdles stands at 0-11 and there's an air of vulnerability about him.
6
9th (6) (33/1 -65%) Near Kettering
33
33/1(-65%)
(6) Near Kettering 33/1, Fit from a Flat win and opened account over hurdles at Sedgefield last August. It's been downhill all the way since, though, and he needs to bounce back in a major way.
5
|U| (5) (3.5/1 +61%) Badness Backfires
3.5
3.5/1(+61%)
(5) Badness Backfires 3.5/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden for Denise Foster and shaped encouragingly starting out for new yard following a 5-month break at Hereford (19.7f, good). 1 lb lower now and he needs a second look.
9
10th (9) (100/1 -52%) Staithes
100
100/1(-52%)
(9) Staithes 100/1, Point winner who didn't cut much ice in a bumper/novice hurdle for Nicky Henderson and has failed to complete switched to fences the last twice.
14
11th (14) (33/1 +34%) Jalingo
33
33/1(+34%)
(14) Jalingo 33/1, Continues to fall in the weights, but for good reason and there were very few positives to glean from his effort at Chepstow last month.
4
12th (4) (20/1 -43%) Guildhall
20
20/1(-43%)
(4) Guildhall 20/1, Fair 7f Flat winner and has translated most of that ability to hurdles, albeit he misfired on debut for new yard at Huntingdon last time and is now 0-7 in this sphere.
LTO Selection:
11:25 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Rukwa 0.73/1, Flat winner in December and continued good work over timber this spring, resuming winning ways in a conditional jockeys' event at Huntingdon (20.6f) 5 days ago. Another big run anticipated.
7
4th (7) (12/1 +76%) Tommie Beau
12
12/1(+76%)
(7) Tommie Beau 12/1, Fair form when fifth in only bumper. Below that level in handful of starts over hurdles though, never a threat on handicap debut at Plumpton (15.9f) in March. Needs to step up.
6
5th (6) (33/1 -32%) Russian Service
33
33/1(-32%)
(6) Russian Service 33/1, Gained second win at Taunton (19f, heavy) in January and more recent efforts probably best overlooked, making mistakes/lost a shoe at Carlisle (17f) earlier this month. Back on last winning mark.
5
6th (5) (16/1 -129%) Shady Character
16
16/1(-129%)
(5) Shady Character 16/1, Had offered some encouragement this winter prior to getting off the mark in a conditional jockey's handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) last month. Fancied to be in the mix again with a repeat.
4
7th (4) (40/1 -60%) Tawseef
40
40/1(-60%)
(4) Tawseef 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler at his best but at the veteran stage now and he needs to show the benefit of last month's Carlisle effort over 17f if he's to feature here.
9
8th (9) (50/1 -25%) Ofcourseiwill
50
50/1(-25%)
(9) Ofcourseiwill 50/1, Badly out of sorts last season and similar story on return here (16.6f) back in July. Unseated at Kelso the following month and pulled up back from 5 months off at Southwell (15.8f) in February.
2
9th (2) (14/1 -75%) Kitty Hall
14
14/1(-75%)
(2) Kitty Hall 14/1, Better with each start in mares' novice hurdles so shade disappointing she failed to feature on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m) last month. Still, it's early days and fitting of blinkers may help.
10
10th (10) (16/1 +20%) Richardson
16
16/1(+20%)
(10) Richardson 16/1, Found some improvement when off the mark in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap (heavy) in December but hasn't been in anything like the same form either start since, well beaten sixth at Hereford (21.7f) in March
11
11th (11) (25/1 -150%) Ballyfarsoon
25
25/1(-150%)
(11) Ballyfarsoon 25/1, Given a real chance by the handicapper and turned in best effort of the season when only edged out late on at Carlisle (19.3f) 2 weeks ago. 4 lb higher now but a repeat should see him thereabouts.
3
12th (3) (7.5/1 +0%) Mabela
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(3) Mabela 7.5/1, Dual hurdles who has fallen in the weights and, having travelled well, disappointingly found little when well held fifth in a mares' handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f) recently. Eased further 3 lb now.
LTO Selection:
11:55 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Casa Tall 3/1, Dual winner over hurdles in France but mixed record in that sphere for present stable. Let down by jumping first 2 starts over fences but step back in right direction when third at Market Rasen.
6
2nd (6) (3/1 -9%) Discko Des Plages
3
3/1(-9%)
(6) Discko Des Plages 3/1, Overcame poor round of jumping to win at Catterick in December and has performed with credit in defeat since, good second at Chepstow 12 days ago. Big player with Hughes taking over.
8
3rd (8) (16/1 +52%) Some Spin
16
16/1(+52%)
(8) Some Spin 16/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland last summer but not in anything like the same form in 5 outings for this yard. Headgear on.
3
4th (3) (3/1 -9%) Crooks Peak
3
3/1(-9%)
(3) Crooks Peak 3/1, Has been rather disappointing over hurdles for this yard but latest third at Exeter was best effort for a while and is potentially well handicapped back over fences.
2
5th (2) (22/1 -38%) Pistol Park
22
22/1(-38%)
(2) Pistol Park 22/1, Last win came in small-field handicap chase 3 years ago. Ran well behind the thriving Miss Amelia at Carlisle but not in same form next 2 starts. On a good mark.
9
6th (9) (66/1 +0%) French Kiss
66
66/1(+0%)
(9) French Kiss 66/1, Modest Flat maiden and has looked very limited over jumps.
1
7th (1) (16/1 +0%) Swift Crusador
16
16/1(+0%)
(1) Swift Crusador 16/1, Fairly useful chaser at best but has struggled this season. At least stopped the slide when third in this headgear combination at Wetherby.
10
8th (10) (20/1 -67%) Secret Melody
20
20/1(-67%)
(10) Secret Melody 20/1, Had been in fine heart in the summer and finally off the mark over C&D in August despite being 2 lb out of the weights. Off 7 months and 3 lb out of the handicap on this occasion.
7
|PU| (7) (8/1 -33%) Tierra Verde
8
8/1(-33%)
(7) Tierra Verde 8/1, Dual 2m hurdle winner in early 2019 and has made positive start to chasing, going close at Taunton last month. Needs considering.
4
|PU| (4) (18/1 -64%) Elixir Du Gouet
18
18/1(-64%)
(4) Elixir Du Gouet 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but seen out only 3 times in last 2 years, well held. Headgear now applied.
LTO Selection:
12:25 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Kala Noire 9/1, Maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced in first-time visor when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f) 17 days ago. Makes chase debut now and can't be ruled out for good yard.
14
2nd (14) (6/1 +63%) Loch Garman Aris
6
6/1(+63%)
(14) Loch Garman Aris 6/1, It's now thirteen runs since last win in 2015, but veteran posted creditable sixth in 3m handicap at Southwell 26 days ago. Not taken lightly back in this sphere.
10
3rd (10) (40/1 -82%) Man Of The North
40
40/1(-82%)
(10) Man Of The North 40/1, Course winner in January but below par all three runs since, seventh in handicap chase (40/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip with work to do.
11
4th (11) (2.5/1 +0%) Counteract
2.5
2.5/1(+0%)
(11) Counteract 2.5/1, Made it 2-2 over fences with 7l victory in conditional jockeys' handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good) 6 days ago. Should prove effective over this longer trip. Escapes a penalty, and hard to oppose.
1
5th (1) (8/1 +0%) Tractor Fred
8
8/1(+0%)
(1) Tractor Fred 8/1, Opened his account at Plumpton in March before respectable third of 7 there 26 days ago. Merits consideration despite a further 3 lb rise.
16
6th (16) (200/1 -33%) Betterlatethanneva
200
200/1(-33%)
(16) Betterlatethanneva 200/1, Remains a poor maiden hurdler/chaser after 24 runs. Back over fences from 15 lb out of the handicap and easily opposed.
9
7th (9) (7/1 -56%) Catlin
7
7/1(-56%)
(9) Catlin 7/1, 10/3, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but she remains well in the mix.
4
8th (4) (20/1 +29%) Demon Fou
20
20/1(+29%)
(4) Demon Fou 20/1, Modest winner at 21f over hurdles but had wind op before being pulled up in handicap chase (9/1) at Warwick (20f, soft) on debut over fences 50 days ago. Needs a big step forward.
7
9th (7) (7/1 +42%) Evenstevens
7
7/1(+42%)
(7) Evenstevens 7/1, Best run over hurdles this term when third of 9 in handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Much respected for in-form yard now going chasing.
5
10th (5) (14/1 -75%) Sartene's Son
14
14/1(-75%)
(5) Sartene's Son 14/1, Gained breakthrough win in 23f handicap hurdle here (22/1) 93 days ago by 10l from Loch Garman Aris. Not taken lightly back in this sphere.
3
11th (3) (16/1 +0%) His Dream
16
16/1(+0%)
(3) His Dream 16/1, Twice in the frame but not firing of late, below-par fourth of 7 in handicap chase (11/2) at Southwell (24.3f) 17 days ago. More needed despite a slipping mark.
8
|PU| (8) (16/1 -78%) Bird On The Wire
16
16/1(-78%)
(8) Bird On The Wire 16/1, Winning pointer but (9/4) well-held sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20.9f, good) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Big step forward is required now.
6
|PU| (6) (28/1 -40%) The Toojumpa
28
28/1(-40%)
(6) The Toojumpa 28/1, Only one win from 23 runs, and went with little fluency before unseating rider in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, good) 12 days ago. Others preferred.
LTO Selection:
12:55 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Dog Of War 3/1, Failed to win over hurdles but struck at the first time of asking over fences in 19f Exeter novice handicap 11 days ago. Could have more to offer in this sphere.
6
2nd (6) (2/1 +43%) Armattiekan
2
2/1(+43%)
(6) Armattiekan 2/1, Fourth win of a productive season when seeing off 5 rivals at Market Rasen 13 days ago. 5 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.
5
3rd (5) (16/1 +11%) Black Buble
16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Black Buble 16/1, Best effort over fences when fourth at Doncaster (3m) in November but disconcerting that he showed little enthusiasm at Uttoxeter 16 days ago, always detached.
2
4th (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Tribesmans Glory
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(2) Tribesmans Glory 4.5/1, Irish point winner who made a winning start over fences on C&D reappearance in October. Unseated on next 2 starts but back on track when second of 4 at Plumpton last month.
1
5th (1) (3/1 +10%) William H Bonney
3
3/1(+10%)
(1) William H Bonney 3/1, Five-time hurdles winner. Drawn a blank in 3 outings over fences this term but the return to a longer trip should suit after finishing things happening too quickly for him over 2m at Newbury latest.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Little Jack 14/1, Proved a different proposition in first-time tongue tie (also had another breathing op) when runner-up at Uttoxeter in September. Hooded but failed to stay on yard debut next time. Off 4 months.
3
1st (3) (28/1 -100%) Aviewtosea
28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Aviewtosea 28/1, Put experience to good use when opening account in Carlisle bumper but well held both starts since. Makes hurdles debut.
9
2nd (9) (33/1 +0%) Just A Whim
33
33/1(+0%)
(9) Just A Whim 33/1, Decent NH pedigree and seemed to take a big step forward when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft, 200/1) 24 days ago.
6
3rd (6) (5.5/1 -10%) Lies About Milan
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(6) Lies About Milan 5.5/1, Fairly useful chaser who was a bit underwhelming returned to this sphere when only fourth in novice/maiden at Chepstow last 2 starts. Headgear now added and needs taking seriously in this field.
2
4th (2) (14/1 -17%) American Legacy
14
14/1(-17%)
(2) American Legacy 14/1, Decisive winner of an Irish maiden point and showed ability in bumpers. Should do better now going hurdling and up in trip.
1
5th (1) (100/1 +0%) Alderson
100
100/1(+0%)
(1) Alderson 100/1, Has had a few chances in ordinary handicap hurdles this term at around 3m so surprising were he up to the task back in a maiden.
5
|F| (5) (0.25/1 +38%) Interconnected
0.25
0.25/1(+38%)
(5) Interconnected 0.25/1, Shaped with loads of promise in a strong Newbury novice in 2018/19. Bit disappointing he failed to get the job done both starts this season for new yard but still sets a clear standard.
8
|PU| (8) (28/1 +15%) Trooper Jones
28
28/1(+15%)
(8) Trooper Jones 28/1, Norse Dancer gelding. Dam placed in points. Placed in points and showed a bit of ability when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Iontach Cheval 40/1, Out of a bumper winner but yet to show a great deal of ability.
11
4th (11) (4.5/1 +84%) Stony Man
4.5
4.5/1(+84%)
(11) Stony Man 4.5/1, Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points and improved from Rules debut when third in bumper at Uttoxeter last time. Another step forward required.
14
5th (14) (16/1 +60%) Vintage Fizz
16
16/1(+60%)
(14) Vintage Fizz 16/1, Sulamani gelding who showed something to work on when sixth at Wetherby on debut. Unlikely to improve enough to feature in this, though.
3
6th (3) (18/1 -80%) Bob's Bar
18
18/1(-80%)
(3) Bob's Bar 18/1, Third in an Irish point and bumper at Hereford on rules debut. Likely to be suited by further, so others make more appeal.
1
8th (1) (10/1 +17%) Autumn Equinox
10
10/1(+17%)
(1) Autumn Equinox 10/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Kangaroo Court and fair hurdler/chaser Canny Tom. Successful sole start between the flags in December and market should point the way on this Rules debut.
5
11th (5) (300/1 -100%) Friends Don't Tell
300
300/1(-100%)
(5) Friends Don't Tell 300/1, Mount Nelson gelding who was sent off a huge price and failed to beat a rival at Wetherby 25 days ago. Tried in cheekpieces.

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.
