---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (0.5/1 +40%) Fortuna Ligna |
0.5/1(+40%) | (3) Fortuna Ligna 0.5/1, Fair form in bumpers and found improvement sent handicapping in this sphere the last twice. latest when fourth of 15 at Newbury (20.5f, soft) 34 days ago. Holds obvious claims. Leading claims, with form which is miles better than that of most of her rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) All The Glory |
4/1(-45%) | (1) All The Glory 4/1, Fair performer in bumpers who posted her best effort over hurdles (back from 5 months off) when third of 8 in novice at Haydock (18.9f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is a likely contender. Third at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft; acts on soft) was a return to her bumper form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (66/1 +34%) Key Instinct |
66/1(+34%) | (6) Key Instinct 66/1, Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but well held both starts in bumpers and over hurdles. 2nd in Irish point; modest form in her second bumper; heavy defeats in two novice hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -40%) La Pagerie |
14/1(-40%) | (7) La Pagerie 14/1, Half-sister to 8 winners who showed some ability in sole bumper outing and similarly when sixth of 13 in novice at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft, 7/1) on hurdles bow 42 days ago. Each-way claims. Some promise in a bumper but beaten 25l when 7-1 for maiden hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Cooleenymore |
7.5/1(+25%) | (2) Cooleenymore 7.5/1, Placed 3 times in Irish points this winter and far from disgraced when third of 8 in novice (11/1) at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) on NH debut 37 days ago. Not out of things. Minor honours in her Irish points and maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy); modest form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 -150%) Houston Calling |
50/1(-150%) | (5) Houston Calling 50/1, Well bred but didn't offer much in her 2 bumpers and was a similar story on Ffos Las hurdles debut in February. Minor form in her two bumpers and when 36l third of four at Ffos Las (2m4f) over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (50/1 -150%) Mollie Brown |
50/1(-150%) | (10) Mollie Brown 50/1, Down the field in pair of bumpers and held back by inexperience on hurdles debut at Ffos Las last month. Soundly beaten in her two bumpers and when fourth of eight in maiden hurdle (2m4f, heavy). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (66/1 -100%) Defferella |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Defferella 66/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and never really involved on debut in this sphere at Exeter earlier this month. Modest maiden at best on Flat; 150-1 fourth of seven in a selling hurdle (2m2f, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (28/1 +15%) Gio's Girl |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Gio's Girl 28/1, Winning pointer who hasn't stood much racing under Rules and she's offered little in 3 starts upon returning from a 2-year absence this campaign. Best watched in first-time blinkers. Player on 2020 form but back from long absence with disappointing runs this year; blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (100/1 -203%) Maskara |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Maskara 100/1, Made appeal on pedigree (closely related to Annsam) but finished last of 7 in bumper at Stratford on NH debut 8 months ago. Tries hurdles now. 14-1, faded into tailed-off last of seven in bumper at Stratford (2m, good) last August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (125/1 -279%) Well Paid Soldier |
125/1(-279%) | (11) Well Paid Soldier 125/1, Well held in a pair of Wincanton maidens this year and looks one for longer term. Beaten 30l then 51l in her two maiden hurdles at Wincanton, both 1m7f on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (50/1 +0%) Lily Grace |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Lily Grace 50/1, No impact in bumper on NH debut in January or when switched to hurdling at Lingfield the following month. Looks one for handicaps down the line. Beaten 68l when favourite for a bumper (heavy) and 66l when 33-1 in a novice hurdle (2m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (20/1 +60%) Eile Tara |
20/1(+60%) | (13) Eile Tara 20/1, Kayf Tara filly, dam bumper/2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (19f-21f winner) Lesser out of useful 2½m-2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 3m) Aine Dubh. Worth a check in the market on debut. Debut but worth a second look given that this field appears to have no strength in depth. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
0.83/1 (3) FORTUNA LIGNA looks like the strongest contender based on her leading claims and superior form compared to her rivals. 2.75/1 (1) ALL THE GLORY and 10/1 (7) LA PAGERIE also have potential to be contenders, but may not be as strong as 0.83/1 (3) FORTUNA LIGNA. The rest of the field appears to have less promising form and may not be as likely to do well.
FORTUNA LIGNA performed as well as expected when fourth in the EBF Mares' Final at Newbury last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity returning to maiden company. All The Glory posted an improved effort to place third at Haydock earlier in the month and rates as the only conceivable danger, with Cooleenymore making most appeal of the remainder.
Preference is for ALL THE GLORY, who upped her game when third at Haydock earlier this month and remains low mileage in this sphere. Fortuna Ligna has performed well in handicap company recently and is the obvious danger, whilst Cooleenymore can also make her presence felt.
This is a great chance to get off the mark for FORTUNA LIGNA, with All The Glory almost her only conceivable danger.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (11) (6/1 -50%) Doyens De Ante |
6/1(-50%) | (11) Doyens De Ante 6/1, Maiden hurdler but has taken well to chasing, runner-up at Huntingdon last 2 starts. Should be in the mix again with headgear re-fitted. Chasing last three starts; 2nd at Huntingdon on last two, so he's in serious calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (9/1 +44%) Bignorm |
9/1(+44%) | (13) Bignorm 9/1, Ran his best race for a while when 6 lengths third of 14 at Chepstow but failed to back that up at Huntingdon since. Up against it from out of the handicap. Back in some form when third on last two starts, one over C&D; should be staying on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (20/1 +20%) Vetoncall |
20/1(+20%) | (12) Vetoncall 20/1, Made a winning return from another absence at Fakenham (3m) in November but in and out since. Opposable from out of the handicap. Heavy ground is a possible excuse for two of his last three starts; case can be made. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6.5/1 +41%) Wind Tor |
6.5/1(+41%) | (9) Wind Tor 6.5/1, Dual winner at Exeter last season and returned to form when third of 9 in handicap at same course (24.2f, soft) last month. Backed that up when placed again at Fontwell but more needed to resume winning ways. Last season's form was much better; third on last two starts, though; considered each-way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +0%) Felton Bellevue |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Felton Bellevue 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has bettered that level over fences, winning handicap chases at Hereford and Market Rasen in early-2022. Mixed record this campaign, only fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft, 7/2) 38 days ago. Beaten a head at Lingfield February after wind surgery; backward step at Plumpton latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (4/1 +0%) Kings Krackertara |
4/1(+0%) | (10) Kings Krackertara 4/1, Failed to progress over hurdles but stepped up on previous chasing efforts when fourth at Chepstow. Similar form when off the mark at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago, albeit in fortunate fashion (left clear 2 out). Remains unexposed. Better again with tongue tied last two starts; fortunate winner on latest but shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 +58%) Tudors Treasure |
14/1(+58%) | (8) Tudors Treasure 14/1, By far his best effort of the season when second of 14 in handicap chase at Chepstow in February. Has a patchy overall record, though, so no surprise he wasn't in anything like the same form back there 4 weeks later. C&D second in February is the only time this term that he hasn't been pulled up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 +18%) Versatility |
33/1(+18%) | (5) Versatility 33/1, Temperamental sort who continues out of sorts, tongue strap on for 1st time when pulled up back over hurdles at Lingfield (23f, good) 73 days ago. Not hard to oppose him on the more recent evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (12/1 +0%) Eceparti |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Eceparti 12/1, Losing run is mounting up and well below par when a remote fourth at Warwick/Ffos Las last 2 starts. Headgear now given a whirl. In frame but needs much better than the form shown on last two occasions; first headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (5.5/1 -57%) Kingsmill Gin |
5.5/1(-57%) | (6) Kingsmill Gin 5.5/1, Bounced back to her best (from 6 lb out of the weights) to get off the mark for the season at Exeter 17 days ago. Big shout with a repeat racing off 6 lb higher. Second win (21 starts) came on latest run when scoring by 6l at Exeter (3m, good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (33/1 -175%) Corrany |
33/1(-175%) | (4) Corrany 33/1, Had been struggling for form over hurdles but stopped the slide with a trio of in-the-frame efforts over fences. However, let down by jumping when running poorly at Ffos Las when last seen in October. Placed three times in a row at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August-October; off 187 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (7/1 +56%) Galop Du Bosc |
7/1(+56%) | (3) Galop Du Bosc 7/1, Back-to-form second of 15 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, soft). Got no further than the second at Newton Abbot next time but ran poorly at Stratford since. Sparked only once in his last seven starts; has another change of equipment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (18/1 +10%) El Hageb Rose |
18/1(+10%) | (7) El Hageb Rose 18/1, Very lightly raced for Gary Moore and caused a major upset starting out for Paddy Butler when landing a Plumpton handicap hurdle in November. Below that level since, though, and including over fences. Cheekpieces first time, progress from right out the back latest on rare run over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (50/1 +0%) Botus Fleming |
50/1(+0%) | (15) Botus Fleming 50/1, Of little account. Second run since wind surgery; no form claims from 7lb out of the handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
3.5/1 (6) KINGSMILL GIN is likely to do well based on the summary provided. She has recently won by a significant margin and has bounced back to her best form. She is also racing off a slightly higher weight, which suggests that she is in good condition.
Kingsmill Gin returned to winning ways when leading from an early stage at Exeter earlier in the month and a 6lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Jackie Du Plessis' mare, however, could struggle to dominate in this larger field and DOYENS DE ANTE makes slightly more appeal. The seven-year-old finished a never-nearer second at Huntingdon last Sunday and, as he was 3lb out of the handicap on that occasion, a bold bid is expected. Eceparti's mark continues to drop and he also can't be discounted at this level.
KINGSMILL GIN looked back to her very best when scoring at Exeter 17 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up, and a repeat performance should see her go very close. Doyens de Ante should be on the premises again, with the unexposed Kings Krackertara another to consider.
This extra distance looks a positive for KINGS KRACKERTARA who has got her act together again when tongue tied for her last two starts.

1st (4) (0.73/1 +76%) Good Friday Fairy |
0.73/1(+76%) | (4) Good Friday Fairy 0.73/1, Improved from debut effort over hurdles when second of 9 in novice over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Likely contender. 22l second of nine in C&D novice 18 days ago, leading until a bad mistake three out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (5.5/1 +61%) Stiletto |
5.5/1(+61%) | (12) Stiletto 5.5/1, Below par on Flat this year but capable of fair form at best and is worth monitoring in the market on hurdles debut. Fair maiden on Flat, pretty consistent over 2m in recent outings; headgear off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (6.5/1 -117%) Prince Nino |
6.5/1(-117%) | (11) Prince Nino 6.5/1, Returned to form, in first-time blinkers, when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle (5/2) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 12 days ago. Claims if building on that. Modest maiden after one bumper and seven hurdle races; each-way hopes in this weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (11/1 +21%) Uggy Uggy Uggy |
11/1(+21%) | (15) Uggy Uggy Uggy 11/1, Far from disgraced when ninth of 13 in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 39 days ago. More required to figure on hurdles bow here, however. 25-1, headway after halfway but ended beaten about 19l when 9th of 13 in bumper at Taunton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (100/1 -203%) Harry Gulliver |
100/1(-203%) | (6) Harry Gulliver 100/1, Well behind in bumper (22/1) at Stratford on NH debut last month and best watched on first crack at hurdling. 22-1 and hooded, remote in bumper at Stratford (2m, heavy) four weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (33/1 -136%) Parsons Stone |
33/1(-136%) | (10) Parsons Stone 33/1, Showed a bit more, in first-time hood, when seventh of 13 in bumper (66/1) at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Warrants respect on hurdles bow. Has twice shown a little ability in bumpers; needs a check on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 -614%) Megascope |
100/1(-614%) | (9) Megascope 100/1, Well held in bumper (50/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Makes hurdles bow. 50-1, weakened into well-beaten seventh of eight in maiden bumper at Huntingdon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 +55%) Chankaya |
18/1(+55%) | (2) Chankaya 18/1, Remains with one standout effort on the Flat for Hugo Palmer and no impact on only 2 starts for his current yard, off a further 22 months before finishing well held at Warwick on hurdling debut 37 days ago. 150-1 after a long absence, tailed off on hurdle debut at Warwick (2m, soft) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (6/1 +63%) Harrys Game |
6/1(+63%) | (7) Harrys Game 6/1, Phenomena gelding. Dam 7f winner. Wears hood. Market check advised on NH debut. Third foal; dam 7f AW winner (RPR 65), half-sister to 7f/8.4f winner Invincible Joe; hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (150/1 -200%) Alfie Sharp |
150/1(-200%) | (1) Alfie Sharp 150/1, Offered little on hurdles debut at Wincanton earlier this month. 40-1, no show in maiden at Wincanton (1m7f, good) this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (150/1 +0%) Tango For Sally |
150/1(+0%) | (16) Tango For Sally 150/1, Offered little in a Wincanton bumper on debut back in November and well behind when departing on debut in this sphere at Taunton recently. No form after a Wincanton bumper and novice at Taunton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (40/1 -60%) Try The Money |
40/1(-60%) | (14) Try The Money 40/1, Held back by inexperience when well beaten over C&D on NH debut 18 days ago. 22-1, showed little in C&D novice (good to soft) 18 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (66/1 -32%) Haafbourd |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Haafbourd 66/1, Signs of ability when third in small-field Fakenham bumper in November but not in anything like the same form at Taunton last month and showed nothing on Huntingdon hurdles debut. 3rd of 5 in bumper; no positives from either run since, tongue tied on hurdle debut latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (125/1 +0%) Time To Smile |
125/1(+0%) | (13) Time To Smile 125/1, No signs of ability in a couple of outings thus far. Pulled up when 80-1 for a Fontwell bumper and remote last when 250-1 for Wincanton maiden. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary provided, the horse with the best chance of doing well appears to be 2.25/1 (8) HUNTERS SONG, who finished 2nd in a handicap at Thurles and has shown the best form overall. 3/1 (4) GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY and 3/1 (11) PRINCE NINO also seem like likely contenders based on their recent performances. The rest of the horses have not shown as much promise in their recent races, so they may have a harder time competing in this particular race.
This maiden contest won't take much winning and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY gets the vote. Ben Clarke's gelding finished a respectable second over C&D earlier in the month and a reproduction of that effort may suffice. Hunters Song should prove more competitive in these calmer waters having finished sixth on his stable debut in a handicap hurdle here a few weeks ago, with hurdling debutant Parsons Stone looking a potential improver in this sphere.
HUNTERS SONG finished with running left on his yard debut here earlier this month and is taken to get off the mark. Good Friday Fairy and Prince Nino are also respected.
This looks a low-level contest and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY showed enough over C&D 18 days ago to suggest that he can go well.

1st (1) (1.38/1 +45%) Jetoile |
1.38/1(+45%) | (1) Jetoile 1.38/1, Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase (4/5) over C&D (good to soft) 40 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Pretty consistent sent chasing this term, winning a four-runner handicap over C&D latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 -38%) Le Ligerien |
9/1(-38%) | (5) Le Ligerien 9/1, Revitalised since having breathing op/joining Joe Tizzard this term, cosily completing his hat-trick in 2m Newbury handicap last month. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Newton Abbot (21f) latest and must enter calculations. Won first three starts for this yard; fair fourth latest, jumping issues playing a part. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (22/1 -83%) Jemima P |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Jemima P 22/1, Three from 3 in handicap chases around this trip in 2021-22 but not quite got going this term, let down by her jumping in listed race at Doncaster over Christmas. Been given a chance by the handicapper. Four wins in 2021; outclassed in December latest start; handicapper has given her a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 +63%) Gats And Co |
6/1(+63%) | (8) Gats And Co 6/1, Really got his act together in 2022, landing a 4-timer (including a hat-trick at this course) in staying handicap chases. Been largely disappointing since, however, and will likely find this trip on the sharp side. Cheekpieces on first time. Four months off and 3m5f when pulled up latest; long time since he tried trip this short. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 +44%) Enzo D'Airy |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Enzo D'Airy 5/1, Ran right up to his best when returning to winning ways over C&D in December and largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Possibly found test too much when third at Newbury (22.4f, soft) last time and not discounted. May be best front-running nowadays, as when winning over C&D in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (4/1 +11%) Nothin To Ask |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Nothin To Ask 4/1, Fair novice hurdler last season who made a positive start over fences this term, scoring over C&D in October and following up at Doncaster (19.1f) a month later. Back on the up when second in a small-field handicap at Newbury latest and can't be ruled out. Chasing this term, hitting new heights with two wins and a 2nd on good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (16/1 -357%) Northern Bound |
16/1(-357%) | (2) Northern Bound 16/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences when taking 4-runner handicap (11/8) at Newbury (19.8f, good to firm) in November, bit in hand. Fairly treated on return to action and must be taken seriously. 7-13 over fences; readiness after layoff is a stumbling block judged on previous campaigns. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
6.5/1 (5) LE LIGERIEN and 4.5/1 (4) NOTHIN TO ASK seem like strong contenders based on their recent form and previous success over course and distance. 2.5/1 (1) JETOILE also has a good chance based on consistent form and a recent win over course and distance. 9/1 (6) ENZO D'AIRY and 4/1 (2) NORTHERN BOUND cannot be ruled out entirely but may need to improve or overcome past issues. 10/1 (7) MOONLIGHTER and 14/1 (8) GATS AND CO may struggle with the distance or recent form respectively. 12/1 (3) JEMIMA P could be a wildcard with previous success in handicap chases but has not performed as well this term.
Northern Bound has been highly consistent over fences and again looks a player at this level off just 2lb higher than his Newbury success last November, while Le Ligerien also makes some appeal. However, JETOILE was a very comfortable winner over C&D last month and, as he has bags of scope to improve over the trip, a 5lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the gelding from following up.
Dual course winner JETOILE is still relatively low mileage for his age and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Northern Bound and Le Ligerien rate the principal dangers.
Preference is for JETOILE who has had the form of his clearcut win over C&D last month boosted by the runner-up.

1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Takeit Easy |
4.5/1(+25%) | (6) Takeit Easy 4.5/1, Four-time winning hurdler over 2m who hasn't shown his form in 4 outings this season but has shaped better than the result on a couple of occasions (still with a bit to do but not properly asked for effort when hampered and unseated 3 out in valuable Haydock contest latest). Interesting. Yet to hit top gear this season but lurks on a good mark and can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3.33/1 +0%) Hardy Du Seuil |
3.33/1(+0%) | (1) Hardy Du Seuil 3.33/1, Has had a good campaign over hurdles, winning 2m Sandown handicap in January and going close behind a course specialist at Wetherby in first-time cheekpieces 4 weeks ago, ridden more positively and pulling clear of the rest. Raised 3 lb but can go well again. Won good-quality Sandown handicap in January and ran big race in defeat last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (8/1 -7%) Shared |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Shared 8/1, Has made a good start over hurdles for new yard, winning 2m novices at Wetherby and Doncaster this year. Well beaten off stiff-looking mark in the Fred Winter 6 weeks ago though and suspect he'll need some respite from the handicapper. Found Boodles 4yo handicap too hot last month but won two of first three hurdle races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6/1 +57%) Zambezi Fix |
6/1(+57%) | (7) Zambezi Fix 6/1, Finally opened his account for present connections when cosy winner of C&D handicap in February. Good run at Taunton next time but let down by jumping at Ffos Las latest. Still not on a bad mark. Didn't fire last time but now only 1lb higher than for game C&D win in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (16/1 +27%) Rathmacknee |
16/1(+27%) | (4) Rathmacknee 16/1, Quickened up to lead late on at Doncaster (19.5f) in December but it's been a write-off since, folding tamely the last twice (stumbled badly first, folded rapidly leaving back straight in C&D race won by Zambezi Fix 9 weeks ago). Fair bit to prove. Won a shade cosily at Doncaster in December but pulled up three times since. |

6th (3) (14/1 -75%) Lunar Sovereign |
14/1(-75%) | (3) Lunar Sovereign 14/1, Made good strides as a novice during 2020/21 campaign, winning twice over 2m, but lightly raced since, not seen again after his first run for 15 months at Market Rasen last June (final run for Fergal O'Brien). Interesting to see what the market makes of him starting out for new stable. Not seen since finishing fourth of six on handicap debut last June; stable debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/1 -11%) Soul Icon |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Soul Icon 5/1, Proved a different proposition switched to handicaps, finding another chunk of improvement when making it 7 wins from 8 starts at Cheltenham (16.4f) in October. Poor return off this mark at Aintree after 6 months off but may have needed that and conditions were testing. This is easier. Flopped at Aintree this month but won seven of his first eight handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (125/1 -89%) Atholl Street |
125/1(-89%) | (9) Atholl Street 125/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner at Taunton in late 2020 but it's been a struggle since, including in 3 starts for current yard in the last 7 weeks. Has struggled to get competitive for new stable this season; revival needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Deere Mark |
4.5/1(-13%) | (5) Deere Mark 4.5/1, Folded as if amiss in the Morebattle at Kelso last month but had been going the right way before that, winning 2m events at Hereford and Kempton under this rider. Still early days for him and he could get back on the up. Disappointed in valuable handicap last month but remains a promising novice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
3.33/1 (1) HARDY DU SEUIL has had a good campaign and is predicted to do well again despite being raised 3 lb. 4.5/1 (2) SOUL ICON is also a strong contender, having won seven of his first eight handicaps and proven to be a different proposition when switched to handicaps. 6/1 (6) TAKEIT EASY and 8/1 (3) LUNAR SOVEREIGN are interesting options to keep an eye on, while 22/1 (4) RATHMACKNEE and 66/1 (9) ATHOLL STREET have struggled recently and may need a revival.
HARDY DU SEUIL showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when he was a close second in a series qualifier at Wetherby 28 days ago, and he may be able to go one place better off just 3lb higher. Soul Icon may have been in need of the run at Aintree a fortnight ago and also rates as a player with Harry Kimber, who has won five times aboard the gelding, back in the saddle. Shared is another to note.
TAKEIT EASY lurks on a very tempting mark (10 lb lower than for last success) and could be the way to go having not enjoyed much luck in a stronger race at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Hardy du Seuil can go well again, while it remains early days for Sam Thomas' Deere Mark and he could get back on the up after struggling in the Morebattle.
Another chance can be given to DEERE MARK, who looks very promising before his disappointing run in a hot handicap last month.

1st (5) (1.25/1 +55%) Honey I'm Good |
1.25/1(+55%) | (5) Honey I'm Good 1.25/1, Not much promise under Rules but she's a multiple point winner who arrives on the back of a solid showing in this sphere, so could pose the main threat to First Preference. 3-17 in points; no match for winner when second this month but should give a good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (0.91/1 -36%) First Preference |
0.91/1(-36%) | (4) First Preference 0.91/1, Prolific point winner, including on last 5 starts (latest Apr 8), and looks to have been found a winnable race on Rules debut. Should take all the beating. Has won his last five points and is the one to beat on today's rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 +57%) Debacle |
12/1(+57%) | (1) Debacle 12/1, Winning pointer but performed poorly in that sphere last time and his Rules form is far from inspiring. Has won 2-3 of his last three points but the form isn't anything to get excited about. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (16/1 -60%) Dower Caves |
16/1(-60%) | (2) Dower Caves 16/1, Half-brother to modest hurdler Dynamic Kate, stays 3m. Dam (h120) bumper/21f-3m hurdle winner. Maiden pointer, third last time (Apr 1). Wears cheekpieces for Rules bow. Close second to Debacle in maiden point on last month's stable debut; has more to do here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is likely that 0.67/1 (4) FIRST PREFERENCE will do well based on the summary as they have won their last five points and are expected to perform well on their Rules debut. 2.75/1 (5) HONEY I'M GOOD and 9/1 (2) DOWER CAVES may provide some competition, but 28/1 (1) DEBACLE's form is not promising.
Debacle struck between the flags last time out and he demands the utmost respect, as does Dower Caves, who could benefit from a return to this sounder surface. The one to beat, however, is FIRST PREFERENCE. A winner of his last five point-to-points, the gelded son of Publisher is fancied to make an immediate impact under Rules. Honey I'm Good will need more if she's to feature.
FIRST PREFERENCE has won his last 5 outings between the flags and this doesn't look much of a race, so he should be able to make a successful start in hunters. Honey I'm Good looks the main danger.
It's very hard to get away from FIRST PREFERENCE, who has impressed in all three points for his new stable this year.

1st (4) (14/1 -56%) Ballydisco |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Ballydisco 14/1, Improved for the step up to 3m when dead-heating with subsequent winner in Ffos Las handicap but only seventh in similar company at Exeter 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Rallied to dead-heat for 1st at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) but tailed off at Exeter 17 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/1 -40%) Ballymagroarty Boy |
7/1(-40%) | (1) Ballymagroarty Boy 7/1, Sole win came in 2018 but he arrives in good nick, second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) 17 days ago. Can go well again. 1-28 and the win was in 2018; bang there most starts this season and short-headed latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (14/1 +30%) Nickelsonthedime |
14/1(+30%) | (12) Nickelsonthedime 14/1, Opened his account in a 25f Warwick handicap in May 2022 but his form has been up and down since. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Won off 1lb higher last May; he's not refound his form in five starts since summer break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (5.5/1 +31%) Bobalot |
5.5/1(+31%) | (14) Bobalot 5.5/1, C&D winner in October. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration. Won over C&D (good to soft) off this mark on handicap debut; cheekpieces in revival bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 +17%) Langley Hundred |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Langley Hundred 10/1, Dual 23f winner in November and posted a creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good) 49 days ago. In the mix. His poor show two runs ago was on soft; probably needs extra but may have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Betterforeveryone |
8.5/1(-6%) | (7) Betterforeveryone 8.5/1, Got off the mark at Bangor (23f) in October and looked set for a creditable fourth when falling 2 out at Plumpton last time. Player off a 2 lb lower mark here with few miles still on the clock. Hasn't repeated his winning reappearance form; low-mileage, which offers hope of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -150%) Aimee De Sivola |
25/1(-150%) | (6) Aimee De Sivola 25/1, Back on song in first-time cheekpieces when second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Not ruled out with headgear retained. Runner-up on two of last three starts (cheekpieces latest) but needs to refind some extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (11/1 +8%) Haven't Time |
11/1(+8%) | (11) Haven't Time 11/1, Winning pointer who was in process of running well when falling in hunter chase here on Rules debut in January 2022. However, has finished safely held in both starts over hurdles for new yard this year. Improvement needed on handicap bow. Bold show in hunter chase in January 2022 on rules debut; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (7.5/1 +38%) Halifax |
7.5/1(+38%) | (8) Halifax 7.5/1, Gained a deserved first success at Exeter (23f) in February but only ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Sort to bounce back, however. Well beaten in a warm race latest and he's one to consider with his sights lowered again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Equinus |
2.75/1(+39%) | (2) Equinus 2.75/1, Made a successful handicap debut at Ffos Las (20f) in January and got back on track when third of 9 in handicap at Newbury (18.8f, soft) 34 days ago. Up in trip and not taken lightly. First season and further improvement is possible over new trip, so he could have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (33/1 -50%) Potters Venture |
33/1(-50%) | (10) Potters Venture 33/1, Scored over fences on his yard debut at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in October but well held since, tried in cheekpieces at Taunton last time. Others appeal more. Won stable debut in a 3m2f chase in October; four heavy defeats have followed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (40/1 -60%) Chinwag |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Chinwag 40/1, Did well over fences last season, scoring at Ffos Las and Plumpton, but he's yet to fire this term, blinkers on when only seventh in Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last time. Lots more is needed. This is his first season without a win, right out of form in headgear on last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (25/1 -39%) Trixster |
25/1(-39%) | (13) Trixster 25/1, C&D winner but arrives below par over fences, unseated rider 9th in handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 50 days ago. Switches to hurdles with cheekpieces on for 1st time. Back from chasing (first time since last April); 7lb lower than chase mark; first headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (66/1 -230%) Round The Buoy |
66/1(-230%) | (5) Round The Buoy 66/1, Fair winning hurdler for David Dunne but off 10 months before pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown in January. Needs to bounce back for his new yard. Ex-Irish, having changed hands and left David Dunne; perhaps best watched today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary provided, 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS and 8/1 (14) BOBALOT seem to have the best chances of doing well in their upcoming races. 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS has shown improvement in his first season and could have a say in the new trip, while 8/1 (14) BOBALOT has won over C&D on his handicap debut and has cheekpieces on for the first time. 10/1 (6) AIMEE DE SIVOLA and 12/1 (8) HALIFAX could also be in the mix for a good performance.
Having been narrowly denied at Exeter earlier this month, Ballymagroarty Boy appears likely to throw down another stern challenge, while at the foot of the handicap Bobalot is back down to his sole winning mark, which came over C&D, and must enter calculations too. However, in an open event, EQUINUS shades the vote. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge ought to benefit from a step up in trip and drop in class, having contested a warm 0-130 at Newbury 34 days ago.
Alan King's Bangor scorer BETTERFOREVERYONE still has few miles on the clock and comes here on a handy-looking mark so gets the nod in a very open handicap. Ballymagroarty Boy is feared most on the back of his good Exeter second, with Langley Hundred and Halifax two more who need considering.
A bold show in a hunter chase last January is the eyecatching run from HAVEN'T TIME (nap) and he now makes his handicap debut.

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.
