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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
