Ronnies Rules

2.75
11/4(+8%)
(4) Ronnies Rules 11/4, Irish point winner who won all 3 starts in bumpers at Stratford for his leading yard this summer. Inauspicious start to hurdles career there 11 days ago, unseating rider early following a blunder, and this will reveal a lot more.

14:00 Fakenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having made it no further than the second flight when unseating his rider on his hurdles bow at Stratford recently, three-time bumper winner Ronnies Rules will need to jump with more fluency. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to be in the mix if doing so, but useful Flat performer CHARGING THUNDER makes more appeal. The six-year-old won't be found lacking for stamina on his opening bid in this discipline and he looks just the type his trainer excels with. Tarbaan makes most appeal of the remainder.

The switch to James Owen paid immediate dividends for CHARGING THUNDER on the level and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, he can follow up. Ronnies Rules didn't get very far on recent debut in this sphere but he couldn't be in much better hands, while The Expensive One is certainly bred to excel over obstacles.

Nigel Twiston-Davies won this with a hurdling debutant in 2022 and he may be able to repeat the trick with THE EXPENSIVE ONE.

(2) Kilbarry Hill 5/4, Runner-up twice in Irish points and has shown fair form when placed on first 4 runs over hurdles. Backward step final start in March but returns at a very winnable level and yard is in good order.
Record of 32332 over hurdles and sets fair standard on best form; respected on return.

Miami Magic

2/1(-14%)
(3) Miami Magic 2/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Pobbles Bay and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Oxwich Bay. Off mark in points at third attempt and came within a head of making a winning bumper debut at Aintree in May. Since left D. Peters and he's a very likely type.
Point winner who went very close in his sole bumper; interesting contender on hurdle debut.

(1) D'jo Dela Barriere 6/1, Dispalyed ability in a brace of bumpers and a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in 2023. Fit from points when a modest fourth on chase debut and since left S. Curling. Market may guide.
Ex-Irish; clear promise in only previous hurdle run and needs a close look on stable debut.

14:35 Fakenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although headed in the dying strides on his Rules bow when runner-up in an Aintree bumper in May, winning point-to-pointer MIAMI MAGIC impressed with how he travelled. This sharp track is sure to suit Stuart Edmunds' charge and the five-year-old is taken to make a winning hurdles debut. The biggest threat is Kilbarry Hill, who is likely to enjoy another go at this 2m4f distance. D'jo Dela Barriere may chase the pair home.

A tough race to assess with 3 stable-switchers in opposition. Of those, MIAMI MAGIC looks the pick on the back of a narrow second in a point-to-point bumper at Aintree in the spring. Kilbarry Hill returns for a yard in good order and will attempt to put his hurdles experience to the best possible use.

The vote goes to point winner MIAMI MAGIC, who went close in his sole bumper and looks interesting on this switch to hurdling.

Call Blue

2.25
9/4(+44%)
(5) Call Blue 9/4, Remains a maiden but she's returned from a lengthy absence with good placed efforts at Stratford/Newton Abbot over hurdles this summer. Shade below that level at Perth 22 days ago but her yard continue in fine form and respected now tackling larger obstacles.
0-11 over hurdles but she's on dangerous mark on this switch to fences; in the mix.

Bumper/hurdle winner who has won when fresh and needs a close look on handicap/chase debut.

(3) Phone Home 3/1, Telescope filly who matched previous best over hurdles when runner-up in mares' maiden at Catterick (15.7f) in January. Below that level next 2 starts and the betting can prove a useful guide on handicap chase debut following 7 months off/wind surgery.
0-7 over hurdles and well held last twice; had wind op and now makes handicap/chase debut.

Unexposed chaser who looked good when scoring over C&D in June; dangerous back over fences.

Long way out of the weights on handicap debut and can only be watched back over fences.

15:10 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Chase debutant Call Blue is likely to prove popular given the yard's red-hot form and she must enter calculations with James Turner claiming a handy 7lb. However, JEUNE BELLE appeals as more of a chasing type on her opening bid over the larger obstacles. A mark of 108 looks workable for Lucy Wadham's mare and she is bred to excel in this sphere. C&D winner Omaha Wish has the ability to figure as well.

The market can prove useful with a few and it may be worth chancing chase debutante CALL BLUE. Runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles since returning from a lengthy absence, her stable continue to fire in the winners and it would come as no surprise to see her make an impact now chasing from a lowly mark. Jeune Belle on her first try in this sphere and C&D winner Omaha Wish head up the dangers.

This looks tricky but bumper/hurdle winner JEUNE BELLE should have a future at this new discipline and she gets the vote.

Readily landed hat-trick at Stratford latest; big player despite a 12lb weights hike.

Ended losing run at Fontwell latest; up 6lb but not taken lightly with headgear again on.

(2) Toonagh Warrior 8/1, Built on promising debut for this yard when landing a 2m Wetherby novice in November before going close on handicap bow at Ascot the following month. Held his form well thereafter and looks well worth another try at around 2½m on this return to action.
Won at Wetherby last November and kept his form well after; much respected on his return.

In good form without winning this term until only seventh on the Flat at Salisbury.

15:45 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Now three from three for her current stable, CALLIN BATON ROUGE impressed when bringing up the hat-trick over an extended 2m at Stratford last month and she gets the vote to go in again despite a 12lb hike. Honneur D'Ajonc took advantage of a sliding mark when returning to winning ways over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell latest, and he is feared most upped 6lb, while Toonagh Warrior also merits consideration.

TOONAGH WARRIOR held his form well last season and, with a return to this trip well worth exploring, he's fancied to make a successful reappearance. Callin Baton Rouge is on a roll for her new stable and may not yet have finished improving, with recent Fontwell-scorer Honneur d'Ajonc warranting plenty of respect, also.

The thriving CALLIN BATON ROUGE (nap) is unbeaten since joining her new yard and is taken to make light of another hefty weights rise.

16:20 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MELTON MOSSY looked an improving sort during the summer months and, although he was well beaten at Newton Abbot last time, this represents an ease in grade for the Evan Williams-trained gelding and he gets the vote to get back on track. Bahtiyar wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth over 3m2f at Fontwell last month and is the main danger back over a more suitable distance. Macari is also considered returning to hurdles after a spell on the Flat, while Double Powerful is on a five-timer after winning at Worcester on Wednesday and he would have every chance if turned out again quickly.

LASER FOCUS has shaped nicely so far over hurdles for James Owen and he's in form from the Flat, so he's worth taking a chance on. 5-timer seeking Double Powerful is a major player if taking up the engagement (only ran two days ago) and Highway One O Five is worthy of respect sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Improving DOUBLE POWERFUL easily completed his four-timer at Worcester two days ago and can make light of a 7lb penalty.

16:55 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f  Race Class Flow

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

Pearly Island bumped into a useful chaser when finishing a staying-on second over 2m4f at Huntingdon when last seen in April, and he commands the utmost respect off the same mark on his return. That said, with match-fitness on his side, it may pay to side with NICKELFORCE. He impressed when scoring comfortably over an extended 2m6f at Stratford last month and, upped 6lb, he looks the one to side with. Awesome Foursome is respected most of the remainder.

NICKELFORCE was consistent over hurdles and improved to score in good style on chase debut at Stratford 6 weeks ago. Impressing with how he travelled that day, a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing with further progress anticipated. The returning Pearly Island and Kankin are others to consider.

This can go to NICKELFORCE, who found plenty of improvement with a stylish win on his chase debut at Stratford last month.

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.
