1st (5)  (6/1 -50%)Patriotik |
6/1(-50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Patriotik 6/1, Won a 2-finisher point in Ireland. Second of 4 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (2½m, soft) on Rules debut 44 days ago. Should have more to offer. Wide-margin point winner; second of four on last month's hurdle debut; more needed here. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/4 +17%)Tommys Charm |
5/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tommys Charm 5/4, Runner-up sole start in Irish points in October and went one better in 7-runner Chepstow maiden hurdle (19.5f, heavy) on last month's hurdle debut for a new stable. Can be expected to improve. Asserted on run-in to make winning rules debut at Chepstow last month; obvious contender. |
|||
3rd (1)  (13/8 -9%)Tactical Affair |
13/8(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tactical Affair 13/8, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Solid start for new yard when second over 2m at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Should stay the longer trip. Leading claims. Won at Cork in November and was clear second on recent stable debut; new trip; big player. |
|||
4th (4)  (33/1 -65%)Mount Washington |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mount Washington 33/1, Showed a fair level of ability when third on first of 2 runs in bumpers but never dangerous when fifth of 10 on Fontwell hurdle debut 13 days ago. Needs to leave that form behind. Third in course bumper in November but made underwhelming hurdle debut this month. |
|||
5th (3)  (150/1 -50%)League Clash |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) League Clash 150/1, Third sole start in Irish points but showed nothing on recent Hereford hurdle debut. Struggled to get competitive when 200-1 for recent Hereford maiden hurdle. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 -33%)Privilege |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Privilege 12/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Peter Fahey. Looks vulnerable unless a change of stable sparks improvement. Became disappointing in Ireland; bought for £2,500 in January; revival needed for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TACTICAL AFFAIR sets a useful standard with an official rating of 124, and Warren Greatrex's five-year-old is the one to beat if building on his recent stable debut, when runner-up at Warwick. Tommys Charm can only improve having won on his Rules bow at Chepstow and he is the main danger, although Patriotik bumped into an improver at Fakenham last time and must not be underestimated.
This might develop into a straight fight between previous hurdle winners TACTICAL AFFAIR and Tommys Charm, with a narrow preference for the former now stepping up to 2½m for the first time.
Preference is for TOMMYS CHARM, who was not fully extended when when winning at Chepstow on last month's rules debut.

1st (5)  (9/1 +0%)Committee Of One |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Committee Of One 9/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who had cheekpieces fitted when posting a good second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (22.5f, soft) in January. The headgear didn't work as well at Plumpton since, though. Close second at Leicester in January but has struggled since; can't be relied upon. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/2 +0%)Santa Clarita |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Santa Clarita 9/2, Low-key efforts upon returning this season but stopped the slide when second of 6 over C&D last month. Not in the same form at Huntingdon since and needs a return to this venue to suit. Game second over C&D in February but needs to put this month's lesser effort behind her. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/2 -29%)Shiroccosmagicbaby |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shiroccosmagicbaby 9/2, Winning Irish pointer. Failed to build on her hurdle debut second in 3 subsequent outings over the smaller obstacles but could prove a different proposition now switching to fences after a 4-month break. Tongue tied first time. All the more interesting if backed. Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut but this point winner might fare better over fences. |
|||
4th (6)  (5/1 +17%)Dancing Dani |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dancing Dani 5/1, Poor and long-standing maiden. Ran well for second of 4 over 2m at Leicester last time but she was no match for the winner. Suspicion the wait for a first win will go on. 0-19 under rules but has posted a couple of good efforts this year; shortlisted. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (2/1 -14%)Fashion's Model |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fashion's Model 2/1, Winning pointer who was runner-up over 3m at Ludlow in her second chase. Ran well when fourth in a novice at Warwick since and looks well treated back in a handicap. Creditable fourth in Warwick novice chase this month and looks the one to beat here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not the strongest of contests, in which a chance can be taken on chasing debutant SHIROCCOSMAGICBABY. Christian Williams' seven-year-old, a previous point-to-point winner, took a few backwards steps after making a promising hurdles debut. However, she will appreciate the switch to fences and it would come as no surprise were she to move forward now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Dancing Dani arrives having posted two solid efforts over 2m and must enter the reckoning, while Santa Clarita appeals most of the remainder.
FASHION'S MODEL has shown enough on her last 2 outings to think she has a race in her from this sort of mark so she gets the nod, although a strong market move for Christian Williams chase newcomer Shiroccosmagicbaby
This looks good for FASHION'S MODEL (nap), who was a commendable fourth on unfavourable terms in a recent novice chase.

7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wonderweasle 7/2, Some promise in maiden/novice hurdles but little impact in 2 starts over fences. Returned to hurdling, unable to sustain effort when third of 5 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) last time. More needed but she could yet do better at this trip. A maiden after six starts but last month's handicap hurdle debut was respectable. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/4 +13%)Smart Casual |
7/4(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Smart Casual 7/4, Stepped up on return when runner-up at Fontwell in December (shaped best) and ran well when fourth at Uttoxeter 10 days later. Looked sure to be involved when brought down 3 out at this course (15.8f, heavy) in February, so he could be ready to get off the mark. Twice ran well on heavy ground in December and was unlucky to be brought down last month. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/1 -17%)Mac's Legacy |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mac's Legacy 7/1, Much improved when second on his handicap debut at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) in January. However, he wasn't able to build on that when mid-field at the same course (21.7f, soft) next time. Needs to resume his progress with blinkers applied. Creditable second on handicap debut (good ground); not in same form on soft ground since. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/4 -57%)Mumbles |
11/4(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mumbles 11/4, Has been going the right way in handicaps this season, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when successful in 4-runner event at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly. Dual 2m3f winner on heavy ground this year and further progress is possible. |
|||
5th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Layerthorpe |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Layerthorpe 33/1, Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles back in 2019 and ran to a similar level when second in handicap chase at Taunton (23f) in December 2022. Has only run twice since, though, sixth of 9 at Hereford almost a year ago. Reverts to hurdling on his return. Safely held in a chase on latest start one year ago; would appeal much more on good ground. |
|||
6th (2)  (8/1 -23%)Ballyvaughan Bay |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ballyvaughan Bay 8/1, Fared better than previously when third behind a couple of useful prospects in maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) last month. Enters calculations as he makes his handicap debut. Placed in two maidens during the winter but this month's handicap debut was disappointing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Things seem to have clicked into place for Mumbles, who arrives having won two of his last three starts. The latest of those, a comfortable 2m3f success at Fontwell, would suggest he has more than enough to defy a subsequent 4lb rise. That said, a chance is still taken on SMART CASUAL, who was going easily when brought down three from home over 2m here. The six-year-old can put that behind him and shed his maiden tag. Ballyvaughan Bay is also noted.
SMART CASUAL has been shaping up well in handicaps this season, looking sure to play a hand in the finish when departing at this course on his latest outing, and he could still have more to offer upped in trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Mumbles, who has been progressing well during the current campaign, with Ballyvaughan Bay also considered.
There might still be more to come from SMART CASUAL, who was knocking on the door towards the end of last year.

1st (5)  (3/1 +0%)Art Decco |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Art Decco 3/1, Much improved since the cheekpieces went on and bids for a hat-trick following wins at Fontwell and Taunton (23f, heavy) last month. 7 lb higher here but that form has been franked so he's a player. Bang-in-form 8yo who is 2-2 since cheekpieces were added last month; up in grade today. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/1 -22%)The Galloping Bear |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Galloping Bear 11/1, Useful staying chaser who posted a good Newcastle second last February. Well held all 4 starts since so he needs to bounce back. Very well suited by a slog in the mud but has looked out of sorts this season. |
|||
3rd (2)  (12/1 +25%)Punitive |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Punitive 12/1, Arrives well out of sorts, pulled up for Gordon Elliott in handicap chases at Leopardstown and Punchestown on his last two rusn. Something to prove for his new yard with a visor added. In poor form in Ireland this season; needs to have been revitalised by stable switch. |
|||
|U| (7)  (4/1 -14%)Stellar Stream |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stellar Stream 4/1, Point/hurdles winner who gained a deserved breakthrough chasing success (in first-time cheekpieces) in 9-runner handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, heavy) 32 days ago, finding extra. In the mix once more. Kept on well to win North Wales National in first-time cheekpieces this month; respected. |
|||
|U| (3)  (11/4 +0%)Pimlico Point |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pimlico Point 11/4, :Low-mileage 7-y-o who got off the mark in this sphere in 4-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 37 days ago. Up 3 lb but he's not taken lightly. Low-mileage 7yo; 3m winner on heavy ground last month; can improve again in marathons. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (9/1 +25%)Amateur |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Amateur 9/1, Added to his good Ffos Las record with a win last May. Pulled up on the back of a wind op at Newton Abbot 29 days ago but a dual winner of this event so he can't be discounted off an easing mark. Twice a winner of this race but confidence in him would be higher on better ground. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (11/2 -38%)Well Dick |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Well Dick 11/2, Revived by a first-time tongue strap when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Warwick (29.2f, heavy) 21 days ago, just holding on. Needs considering despite a 5 lb rise with headgear again sported. Got career back on track with game 3m5f win this month; open to further progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
STELLAR STREAM remains unexposed at marathon trips and he clearly benefitted from the application of cheekpieces when running out a game winner over an extended 3m5f at Bangor. Nudged up 4lb, with forecast underfoot conditions to suit, he can make a bold bid to bring up the double. The hat-trick seeking Art Decco heads the dangers, but a 7lb rise for his Taunton victory will make life tougher in this slightly warmer affair. The form of Pimlico Point's Exeter success has been franked and, tackling 3m4f for the first time, he completes the shortlist off 3lb higher.
ART DECCO hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces so is fancied to defy a 7lb weights rise and complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Exeter-scorer Pimlico Point. Well Dick, who arrives on the back of a recent success at Warwick, and dual winner of this Amateur can't be ruled out either in a very open contest.
Low-mileage 7yo PIMLICO POINT opened his chasing account with a 3m win on heavy ground four weeks ago and can probably improve again.

1st (2)  (3/1 +0%)Lively Citizen |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lively Citizen 3/1, Multiple hurdles winner who would have likely doubled his tally over fences but for stumbling and falling soon after 2 out at Musselburgh in January. Back in good form over hurdles since, in contention for a long way in the Imperial Cup 3 weeks ago. Fair shout back down in class. Ran big race when seventh in Imperial Cup at Sandown this month; same mark here. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/2 -11%)Just Over Land |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Over Land 5/2, Well-bred sort who did the job in good style back from a break/wind op when slamming dual subsequent winner Activist and 3 others in a Lingfield handicap (2m, soft) in February. Fair fourth at Taunton since from this mark and that looks solid form also. Player. Made all to open account at Lingfield two starts ago; may still have more to offer. |
|||
3rd (3)  (17/2 -6%)Sizing Pottsie |
17/2(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sizing Pottsie 17/2, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 and hit the crossbar in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (heavy) in November. Not so good since, though. New headgear tried. On the downgrade but copes well with heavy ground and is well handicapped; blinkers on. |
|||
4th (6)  (7/1 -27%)Lelant |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lelant 7/1, Has been in good form in handicaps, fourth of 16 at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. Has races in him but suspect he wants much further than this. Sound effort when fourth of 16 at Taunton last month; encounters much slower ground here. |
|||
5th (1)  (14/1 +0%)Byzantine Empire |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Byzantine Empire 14/1, Better over fences, winning pair of small field handicap chases (at around 2m) in summer 2022. Not seen for 6 months but returns on a tempting mark for new yard. Makes stable debut after a layoff and would appeal much more on better ground. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (14/1 -75%)Shareef Star |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shareef Star 14/1, In good form in handicap chases in July 2022, winning twice. First run for 19 months and interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Dual good-ground chaser in summer 2022; returns from long absence today. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (14/1 +0%)Supposedtobe |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Supposedtobe 14/1, Won selling hurdle and Pontefract handicap last summer. First run for 7 months (1 of 2 runners for yard back from absence) and might need it. Hurdle and Flat winner last summer; absent since August; ground a serious concern here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LIVELY CITIZEN has shown that he retains plenty of ability this year, most recently when finishing an admirable seventh in the Imperial Cup at Sandown, and eased 1lb with his sights lowered, he can return to winning ways. Just Over Land could only manage fourth when a warm order to supplement a facile Lingfield victory at Taunton, but he must not be written off just yet. Byzantine Empire looks thrown in judging by his chasing mark and he is worth a look on his first start for a new stable.
LIVELY CITIZEN was in the hunt for a long way in the Imperial Cup 3 weeks ago and has a big shout back down in class. Just Over Land is feared most ahead of Lelant.
David Jeffreys' LIVELY CITIZEN ran very well before fading into seventh in a major Sandown handicap on soft ground this month.

1st (4)  (3/1 +54%)Rouge De L'quest |
3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rouge De L'quest 3/1, Winning pointer but below expectations in 3 chase starts this season, again not seeing his race out when fourth of 13 at Chepstow (23.6f) last time. However, it still remains early days for him in this sphere and blinkers/tongue strap are applied. No forlorn hope. Ran well for long way at Chepstow in January; tongue-tie may aid his finishing effort here. |
|||
2nd (6)  (15/8 +0%)Ballyrashane |
15/8(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ballyrashane 15/8, Points winner who landed 4-runner handicap chase (4/6) at Fakenham (29.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to improve further. Can go well again. Dominated Fakenham chase this month; can progress again if today's trip/ground suits. |
|||
3rd (2)  (6/1 -71%)Dentley De Mee |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dentley De Mee 6/1, Made a solid start for this yard when second on 3 consecutive occasions but he came in ony seventh in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) when last seen out 12 months ago. Has gone well fresh so possibilities. Second three times over C&D last season (once on heavy) and reappears on a good mark. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (3/1 -20%)Wonder Of The Seas |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wonder Of The Seas 3/1, Well held over hurdles but he has plenty of size and offered encouragement switched to fences when second in handicaps at Southwell and Leicester. Should have more to come in this sphere. Player eased 1 lb. Runner-up in first two chases and, with conditions suitable, he's a likely contender here. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (12/1 -60%)Easy Bucks |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Easy Bucks 12/1, Made light of a 15-month absence when making a winning debut for John Joseph Hanlon at Punchestown but not quite as much promise in a trio of outings since rejoining Peter Bowen. Others appeal more. Won in Ireland in January but not in same form since rejoining Peter Bowen. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (22/1 -22%)Mister Bo |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mister Bo 22/1, Bumper winner in Ireland and fair form on best run over hurdles for Henry de Bromhead. However, failed to complete in 3 starts over hurdles/fences for new stable. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Pulled up on all three stable starts this season; big leap of faith needed to support him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BALLYRASHANE comfortably accounted for some modest opponents at Fakenham and it would come as no surprise to see him lead this field a merry dance too. The Christian Williams-trained seven-year-old was put up 4lb for that all-the-way success, but has more than enough scope to handle the rise on just his third start over fences. Easy Bucks takes a drop in class and is respected at this level, while Wonder Of The Seas has shown ability in this discipline and is another potential improver.
WONDER OF THE SEAS is built for chasing and fancied to take a step forward from his recent Leicester second (form been franked) and get off the mark. Point-scorer Ballyrashane also looks to have better days ahead of him and rates a big threat though, with the returning Dentley de Mee another to consider off a handy-looking mark.
He's been off the track for over a year but DENTLEY DE MEE ran some good races in defeat over C&D last season and is on a good mark.

7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Potters Charm 7/2, €15,000 3-y-o, £105,000 4-y-o, Valirann gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2¼m winner) Earth King. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points (Nov 2023). One to consider. Bought for £105,000 after promising Irish point debut in the autumn. |

Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2½m) Whoshotthesheriff. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points (Feb 18). Notable Rules newcomer. Bought for £30,000 after finishing second of five in heavy-ground Irish point last month. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 -43%)Andy Amo |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andy Amo 5/1, Brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Valens Bruyee. Solid start when third at Chepstow 36 days ago and likely to take a step forward. Well held when third on last month's Chepstow debut but was made warm favourite for that. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 -60%)Rubys Legacy |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rubys Legacy 8/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Striking Out and modest hurdler Rubys Cube. Dam (c88/h101) 19f-3¼m hurdle winner. Wears tongue strap. Half-brother to three winning hurdlers; stable does well in bumpers; market may guide. |
|||

6/4(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) J'aime El Mars 6/4, From a good family and made a pleasing start when runner-up at Southwell 13 days ago. Type to progress from that and worth chancing to go one better. Stayed on strongly from poor position to go close on debut at Southwell; can improve. |

6th (7)  (33/1 +0%)Wing West |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wing West 33/1, Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam (h70), 2¾m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Octagon. First foal from a low-grade hurdle winner; stable 0-34 in bumpers during last five seasons. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The betting can shed a revealing light on the chances of a few of these, with point-to-point seconds Potters Charm and King Of Thieves both suggested as ones to monitor closely. However, J'AIME EL MARS, who was only denied by half a length in a similar race at Southwell on his debut 13 days ago, has an edge in terms of experience in this sphere and is readily suggested as the first one to place on the shortlist.
J'AME EL MARS showed plenty on debut and his stable is still flying, so he gets the nod over Andy Amo, who also arrives on the back of a promising start. Potters Charm is another to consider.
Inexperience probably cost J'AIME EL MARS the race on his recent Southwell debut but he will hopefully be more streetwise here.

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.

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.
