14:10 Fakenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

1st: 1.38/1 (5) STATE OF BLISS, 2nd: 3/1 (1) COPSHILL LAD, 3rd: 2/1 (6) WAY OUT.

COPSHILL LAD finished a good third over an extended 2m4f at Plumpton last month and a marginal drop in trip could see him break his maiden here. He represents a reputable stable and he can have a big say in proceedings, but State Of Bliss should not be underestimated following a decent run for third at Kempton earlier this month. Hobie completes the shortlist.

STATE OF BLISS showed much more than on his hurdling debut when third at Kempton last week, and with the longer trip likely to be within range given how he rallied that day, he's selected to open his account in this sphere. Way Out and Copshill Lad look the other key players in a notably thin race.

After his third at Kempton last week useful Flat performer STATE OF BLISS looks the one to beat with Copshill Lad his main threat.

14:40 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 2.75/1 (5) LEGENDARY RHYTHM 2nd: 3/1 (2) JIGGINSTOWN KING 3rd: 4.5/1 (1) AUDITORIA

Auditoria has paid a price for consistency of late and has to shoulder top-weight here, so JIGGINSTOWN KING shades the vote based on that. Only narrowly denied over an extended 2m3f at Fontwell last month, there is likely more in the locker and he can post his best run to date. Abaya Du Mathan bolted up at Ffos Las most recently and is another to consider off 9lb higher.

LEGENDARY RHYTHM has really found her feet in mares' handicap chase events in recent months, following up her Leicester victory in game fashion at Wincanton 6 weeks ago. She looks sure to go well again in this groove and can make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Jigginstown King and Auditoria can also figure.

The 6yo JIGGINSTOWN KING (nap) ran his best race over fences at Fontwell last time and is taken to get off the mark.

15:10 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (3) SCUDAMORE, the 2m4f handicap winner, seems like the most likely to do well. Prediction: 1st: 2/1 (3) SCUDAMORE 2nd: 11/1 (2) ENTHUSED 3rd: 9/1 (5) JUKEBOX D'EDDY

LIGHTHOUSE MILL finished a decent second over an extended 2m4f at Southwell last month and a fractionally shorter trip could benefit him here, given he was headed approaching the last in that aforementioned contest. Scudamore is rated 7lb higher following a facile win at Stratford most recently and is feared most, while Champagne Town also warrants a market check.

SCUDAMORE was a cosy winner at Stratford last month for in-form Jennie Candlish and a 7 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. The lightly-raced Champagne Town is an interesting contender on his handicap debut and might be the one to give the selection most to do ahead of Jukebox d'Eddy.

With this longer trip likely to suit, recent Stratford winner SCUDAMORE is taken to follow up. Jukebox D'Eddy should also run well.

15:45 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 12/1 (4) HEY BOB 2nd: 1.88/1 (5) GAVIN 3rd: 3.5/1 (3) TRUE ROMANCE

WEEBILL had valid excuses for a seemingly poor effort at Stratford last month (reportedly lost a shoe and was struck into on his right-fore heel) and is better judged on his previous outing, when he won a claiming hurdle over C&D in March. Assuming he can repeat that sort of level, the Olly Murphy-trained gelding can bounce back here. Gavin is suggested as the chief threat after a solid effort at Taunton last month, while the unexposed Hayedo also warrants consideration.

The most recent piece of solid form on offer is GAVIN's second to an upwardly mobile rival in a Taunton handicap and, entitled to come on for that run (his first for almost 6 months), he is taken to go one better here. True Romance needs to bounce back but will be a threat if able to do so and Hayedo should be in the mix, provided he is ready to roll following an 8-month absence.

After his good run last time out Gavin is considered but it could pay to side with WEEBILL, who has a good record here.

16:20 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 29f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Based on the summary, some horses that could potentially do well are 10/1 (11) D'JANGO, 6.5/1 (9) JONY MAX, 28/1 (5) COUP DE PINCEAU, 10/1 (10) FLYING VERSE, 5.5/1 (6) WAKE UP EARLY, 3.33/1 (1) DUC DE BEAUCHENE, and 8/1 (2) TOMMIE BEAU. However, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horses will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd without more information on the race and the horses' current form.

Tommie Beau is only 1lb higher than his success in last year's renewal of this race and is again high on the shortlist, while Duc De Beauchene, who has a healthy strike-rate over fences, is holding his form well and also warrants serious consideration. However, FLYING VERSE is still on a competitive mark and he gets the nod on these terms. David Dennis' charge was a good second in the 2021 edition of this off 7lb higher and might be a bit of value.

MIDNIGHT MARY won a couple of handicaps over hurdles at this course and has made a good start over the larger obstacles. She gets the nod. Duc de Beauchene and Flying Verse head the list of dangers.

Last year's winner TOMMIE BEAU is taken to score again with Flying Verse and Midnight Mary also expected to go well.

16:55 Fakenham Hunter Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1.5/1 (6) FOR RITA is the one to beat based on their recent performances and past success as a point winner. 4.5/1 (2) DOCTOR TOM and 3/1 (5) RALEAGH FLORA could also be contenders, as they have shown success in recent point wins and are up in grade for this race. The others, 12/1 (1) CABALLO DIABLO, 8/1 (3) FIDDLER OF DOONEY, and 14/1 (4) OVAL STREET, may struggle based on their recent form and lack of notable successes.

FOR RITA, a multiple winner in point-to-points, could be hard to beat if she copes with tackling regulation fences for the first time in public. She has a live chance and the 7lb she receives from the boys could be a telling factor at the business end. Doctor Tom was a comfortable winner when he made all on the pointing course here last month, and rates as the chief threat to the selection. Raleagh Flora rates best of the rest.

FOR RITA is a 7-time point winner and demands plenty of respect on her first go in a hunter. Raleagh Flora and Doctor Tom are also of interest.

In a tricky maiden hunter chase the in-form FOR RITA is taken to beat Raleagh Flora and Doctor Tom.

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.
