14:30 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

MYSTIC MAN seemed to relish a switch to the bigger obstacles when scoring by a length and a quarter at Southwell over an extended 2m4f last month, and a 4lb raised mark may not be enough to stop him now up in trip. Kym Eyre rates his biggest danger, but she does have to shoulder top weight following a comfortable success at Stratford in April. Rebel Leader returns from a year on the sidelines.

MYSTIC MAN left his hurdles form behind when cashing in on a lowly mark at Southwell 3 weeks ago, and in a race that may get tactical, he can use his relative turn of foot to good effect upped in trip. Kym Eyre looks more of a stayer but her limit hasn't been reached over fences and she's the obvious threat.

The lightly raced 6yo MYSTIC MAN is taken to make it 2-2 over fences having won on his chase debut at Southwell three weeks ago.

15:00 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a good opportunity for NEVER NO TROUBLE to bounce back to winning form and she can build on a close-up Ludlow third off 2lb higher. A slight drop in trip looks set to suit Donald McCain's four-year-old, given she was only headed in the dying strides. Enthused will be dangerous following a staying-on success over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon. Pollypockett returned with a pleasing third at Market Rasen and can take a step forward.

ENTHUSED is well weighted in this sphere based on his Flat form and with his recent Huntingdon win already working out his follow-up claims are pretty obvious. Never No Trouble seems sure to give it another good go and is feared most.

Bumper winner POLLYPOCKETT made an encouraging return from an absence at Market Rasen and earns the vote ahead of Never No Trouble.

15:30 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CLOUDY WEDNESDAY looks the pick of these and Caroline Fryer's seven-year-old is taken to follow up his recent success over 2m4f at Huntingdon. He has gone up 2lb for a length-and-a-half win, which may not be enough to hold him back, especially given how well he battled at the finish. Go Fox can benefit from a drop in trip having weakened over an extended 2m4f at Southwell, while Arbennig completes the shortlist.

ARBENNIG ran well on last month's reappearance and is taken to add to his C&D success at a similar time last year. The reappearing Uncle O is capable when fresh and has Harry Cobden doing the steering so he's second choice ahead of Cloudy Wednesday, who still looks feasibly treated after just a 2 lb nudge for his recent 2½m Huntingdon success but does need to show he's as effective at this shorter trip.

This could go to UNCLE O, who has had wind surgery since his last run last December and goes well fresh. Arbennig is feared most.

16:00 Fakenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SIR CANFORD comes with risks attached on this belated reappearance, but the seven-year-old is now under the tutelage of Dr Richard Newland and he would take some stopping if anywhere near his best. State Of Bliss looked too keen to see out 2m4f here last month and should appreciate this drop in distance. He is feared most, ahead of Book of Secrets, who could prove dangerous if gaining an uncontested lead on his first start for a new stable.

STATE OF BLISS had a possible excuse when a well-held second here last time and gets another chance to confirm the promise of his previous Kempton third in a race which has worked out. Dr Richard Newland has won this race 3 times since 2016 so it may be that the chief threat comes from the returning Sir Canford.

This could be a good opportunity for talented Flat performer STATE OF BLISS to get off the mark over hurdles. Thorpeness is feared.

16:30 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

NAME IN LIGHTS wasn't disgraced when placing third at Kempton last month and a further 2lb drop may be enough to help him back into the winner's enclosure. Hatcher has shaped as if this longer trip could be in his favour and Dan Skelton's veteran isn't taken lightly. Quoi De Neuf returns to chasing after a modest fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter and also enters calculations.

PAWPAW had something to spare when scoring at Fontwell last month and is a straightforward selection to follow up. Quoi de Neuf is a danger returning to chasing and Name In Lights has the scope to do better.

The Dan Skelton-trained HATCHER is taken to capitalise on the drop back down in trip. Quoi De Neuf is a likely danger.

17:00 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Sisterandbrother has taken well to this new discipline and he merits respect following his recent Huntingdon victory, while Nevendon, who won a seller at Stratford two weeks ago, is also of interest. However, successful on two of his three starts in handicaps, LIPA K is fancied to continue his ascendency and shrug off a 3lb rise to land the hat-trick. Glimpse Of Gold likes it around here and is no back number from a sliding handicap mark.

LIPA K is going the right way and still looks fairly treated on the back of last month's Ludlow victory. He can score again. Too Friendly is feared most in a tricky-looking contest.

The unexposed 5yo LIPA K (nap) has won at Warwick and Ludlow the last twice and can complete the hat-trick. Nevendon is a danger.

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

Boleyn Boy finished a good second at Chepstow and would hold every chance if taking another step forward. For Gina's recent performances would suggest she can be involved at the business end, while If Karl's Berg Did shouldn't be ruled out from 3lb below his recent Uttoxeter third. A chance, however, is taken on BLAZING HARTINGO. He didn't show much across his three qualifying runs, but visored ahead of this handicap bow, it would be no surprise were he to show more.

This can go to BLAZING HARTINGO, who looks nicely treated on his handicap bow and remains open to improvement. For Gina may provide the chief threat.

The unexposed mare FOR GINA ran well for a long way over 3m1f at Warwick on last month's handicap debut and can post a first win.

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.
