14:00 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
1 1st (1) (4/5 +12%) Glynn Brae	0.8 4/5(+12%)	(1) Glynn Brae 4/5, £130,000 purchase on the back of a bumper success at Leopardstown in the spring and made it 2-4 over hurdles when easily landing the odds in 5-runner novice over C&D last month. Player despite conceding weight all round. Carries a double penalty but this recent C&D winner is looking above average.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 -100%) Le Galli Bier	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(4) Le Galli Bier 11/2, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in France this winter, posting a good second in 2m2f claiming chase at Fontainebleau before Christmas. Changed hands for €30,000 after and holds very good form claims for his new handler. Hard to assess his French form but showed ability and he's receiving plenty of weight.
3 3rd (3) (66/1 -65%) Lord Maher	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Lord Maher 66/1, Made a winning hurdling debut at Roscommon in June but he beat only one for his new yard in 2m novice at Plumpton in October. Has something to prove after a break here. Has the least compelling claims despite winning a maiden hurdle in Ireland.
2 4th (2) (15/8 +46%) Champagne Chic	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(2) Champagne Chic 15/8, Shirocco gedling who built on debut promsie to readily land 7-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Can improve further so must enter calculations. For one having only his second start he did well to beat respected opposition at Wincanton.

14:00 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Even though he tended to jump to the right, GLYNN BRAE had plenty in hand when winning a similar race over this C&D last month and, having previously won over timber at Stratford last October, the progressive five-year-old appears well equipped to cope with a double penalty. Fellow hurdle winners Champagne Chic and Lord Maher are the most obvious dangers, with the former feared most after a heavy-ground success at Wincanton.

GLYNN BRAE posted a fairly useful effort when easily going in over C&D last time so is fancied to successfully concede weight all round here and garner a third hurdles victory from five runs. Gary and Josh Moore's French recruit Le Galli Bier has the form to play a big part though and rates a big threat while the progressive Champagne Chic also warrants plenty of respect on the back of his stylish Wincanton success.

An interesting race despite the smal field. GLYNN BRAE is looking above average and taken to defy the double penalty.

14:30 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
8 1st (8) (7/1 +22%) Wellwillya	7 7/1(+22%)	(8) Wellwillya 7/1, Took form up a notch when getting off the mark on chasing bow in 12-runner handicap at Exeter in October. Best effort since when respectable fourth there in December and had a hopeless task from miles out of the weights last time. Not taken lightly. Some encouraging form this season after switch to fences; faced very tough task last time.
4 2nd (4) (4/1 -14%) Leading Swoop	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Leading Swoop 4/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Disappointed here last time but bits of his form gives him a chance off current mark in a change of headgear. 9yo who remains a maiden but was a good second over C&D two starts ago; possible player.
10 3rd (10) (9/2 +18%) Elpologreg	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(10) Elpologreg 9/2, Got off the mark in 2m handicap chase at Fakenham a year ago but that was an unsatisfactory contest and has failed to back it up subsequently. 5 lb out of the weights. Well beaten more often than not but fair 2nd over C&D last month; could have part to play.
5 4th (5) (5/1 +9%) Valirann Gold	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Valirann Gold 5/1, Modest chaser who recorded his best effort this season when 1¾ lengths second at Exeter, though was possibly flattered from 8 lb out of the handicap. Failed to confirm that form off the same mark there since and only 1 lb lower here. Headgear off. Inconsistent but won here last February and good second at Exeter two starts ago.
9 5th (9) (15/2 +46%) No Drama	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(9) No Drama 15/2, No surprise that he looked in need of the run when safely held on chase/yard debut following more than 3 years at Fontwell in October but failed to progress from that there next time. Got no further than the second at Hereford since. 2 lb out of weights. Encouraging run here when back from huge absence; yet to build on it but not ruled out.
2 6th (2) (11/2 +8%) Celtic Ned	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Celtic Ned 11/2, Fair hurdler who has made an underwhelming start to his chasing career. However, has the physique and pedigree for fences so seems sure to do better at some stage. Soundly beaten on both chase starts but latest form has worked out well and this is weak.
1 7th (1) (16/1 -14%) Doc Mccoy	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Doc Mccoy 16/1, Impressive winner on sole start in points and successful start to hurdle career at Huntingdon on return last season. Struggled under a penalty next 2 starts, however, and has offered little switched to fences this winter. Headgear on. Mark continues to tumble but he's been well beaten on his first three chase starts.
6 8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Rock On Rita	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Rock On Rita 14/1, Point winner who won 2 mares' handicap hurdles in 2022 but has yet to make an impact over the larger obstacles, including after a long absence at Ffos Las in November. Hard to warm to. Market check advised on second start back from absence but well beaten so far over fences.
11 9th (11) (20/1 +39%) Master Mikey Dee	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Master Mikey Dee 20/1, Generally struggled since making a winning chase bow almost 3 years ago and showed little after 21 months off at Exeter in December. Did offer a little bit more when fourth over C&D next time but needs to step up again. Not disgraced over C&D last time but out of the handicap and his claims aren't compelling.
7 \|PU\| (7) (50/1 -100%) Tommy Dillion	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Tommy Dillion 50/1, Winning hurdler but has clearly been difficult to train and well held both starts over fences 14 months apart. Won over hurdles but pulled up on both chase starts, with a long absence in between.

14:30 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

The chase course can be tricky to negotiate here and with that in mind, LEADING SWOOP's familiarity with the layout can be a big asset if the first-time blinkers sharpen up his attack. Likely to be front rank, the Robert Walford-trained gelding could be well positioned to dominate. Having been cut some slack by the handicapper, Celtic Ned has scope to progress in this discipline and is noted along with Valirann Gold and Elpologreg.

A weak event but at least CELTIC NED has some potential in this sphere. Leading Swoop and Wellwillya are both capable of going close off their current mark so are others to consider.

There have been promising signs from WELLWILLYA in this first chase campaign and he had an impossible mission at Exeter last time.

15:00 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 19f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 1st (2) (2/1 -14%) Nemean Lion	2 2/1(-14%)	(2) Nemean Lion 2/1, Has taken his form up a level this year and followed a Hereford handicap success with victory in 5-runner conditions event at Windsor (20f) last month by ½ length from Salver. Concedes 3 lb to that rival here but still not taken lightly. Completed a double at Windsor and this highly admirable 8yo will be a tough nut to crack.
5 2nd (5) (11/2 +39%) Steel Ally	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(5) Steel Ally 11/2, Looked a progressive front-runner when bagging 2m3f handicap at Haydock in November but he was pulled up in 2m Ascot handicap following month. Sort to bounce back after a break though. Pulled up last time but made all in competitive Haydock handicap previously; not ruled out.
3 3rd (3) (13/8 -18%) Salver	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(3) Salver 13/8, Won 4 times last season and has continued on the up this winter, running well when falling last in Grade 2 Relkeel at Cheltenham before coming in an excellent ½-length second of 5 to Nemean Lion in conditions event at Windsor (20f). Enjoys a 3 lb weights pull now so big shout. Close second to Nemean Lion at Windsor last time and now 3lb better off with the winner.
1 4th (1) (5/1 0%) Blueking D'oroux	5 5/1(0%)	(1) Blueking D'oroux 5/1, Yet to to score this term but this smart hurdler arrives in good nick, sixth in Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot before a solid third of five in 2m4f Windsor conditions event last month. Ought to be in the shake-up once more. Behind Nemean Lion and Salver at Windsor last time but he's better than that; respected.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -21%) Punta Del Este	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Punta Del Este 40/1, Dual winner last season who has posted a trio of useful efforts this term, latest when third of 11 in 3m handicap hurdle at Haydock on his final run for Dan Skelton. This demands more but he's no forlorn hope starting out for a new stable. Talented handicapper but considerable improvement is needed now up in grade on yard debut.

15:00 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Still a lively outsider in the ante-post markets for the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, a race of this nature should be well within the grasp of NEMEAN LION, who is a strong fancy to complete a hat-trick. That is not to underestimate the challenges presented by old rivals Salver and Blueking D'oroux, who are both very capable of capitalising if Kerry Lee's gelding doesn't fire on all cylinders.

The likeable SALVER is taken to gain a deserved first victory of the season and turn the tables on his recent Windsor conqueror Nemean Lion on these more advantageous terms. Kerry Lee's hat-trick seeker still rates a big danger though, while the consistent Blueking d'Oroux also has the form to go close in an intriguing National Spirit.

Salver is 3lb better off, but half-length Windsor winner NEMEAN LION could have more left in the tank and is preferred.

15:30 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
5 1st (5) (7/1 +56%) Shengai Enki	7 7/1(+56%)	(5) Shengai Enki 7/1, Versatile performer landed a 23f Uttoxeter handicap in May and followed by a 2m Worcester novice a month later. Has found things tougher since, finishing fifth of 9 at Market Rasen (23f) last month. Returned from a break with fair fifth at Market Rasen and he's not discounted.
4 2nd (4) (12/1 +14%) Monjules	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Monjules 12/1, Three-time hurdle winner since joining Harry Fry. Back to form after a break when third of 11 at Taunton in November but not in the same form at Wincanton 7 weeks later. Others are more persuasive. Below par last time but fair 3rd previously and his last two wins came here; not ruled out.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 -20%) Batwomen	4 4/1(-20%)	(3) Batwomen 4/1, Made a successful switch to handicaps over 19f here in October. Good placed efforts on both starts since and this strong traveller may have even bigger performances in her. Won here on handicap debut and solid efforts both starts since; could play a leading role.
6 4th (6) (6/4 0%) Kalif D'airy	1.5 6/4(0%)	(6) Kalif D'airy 6/4, Good runner-up efforts in handicaps on his last 3 outings, including at this venue. Well clear with an improver at Sandown last time and could still be treated even after a further 4 lb rise. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie. Lightly raced 5yo who has been second on his last three runs; wears first-time cheekpieces.
2 5th (2) (14/1 +13%) Rockadenn	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Rockadenn 14/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best but never in it on last month's return from a long absence for a new yard ay Haydock. Can only watch. Well handicapped on old form and could improve for last month's fair comeback run.
1 \|PU\| (1) (3/1 -20%) Kruger Park	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Kruger Park 3/1, Creditable in-frame efforts in handicaps around 3m on his last 2 outings and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to slightly shorter. Respected. Ran well in defeat at about 3m the last twice and this trip could be just what he needs.

15:30 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

KALIF D'AIRY bumped into an in-form rival when finishing runner-up in a deeper race over 2m4f at Sandown earlier this month and, upped 4lb sporting cheekpieces for the first time, he could go one place better. Batwomen shaped with promise when third at Ludlow last time out and a bold bid off 1lb higher looks likely. This drop in trip should help Kruger Park and he completes the shortlist.

Although KALIF D'AIRY has gone up 11 lb in his last 3 starts he was 21 lengths clear of the third when going down only to a progressive one at Sandown 3 weeks ago and could still be on a good mark. Batwomen and Kruger Park look the main dangers.

Today's trip could be ideal for KRUGER PARK (nap), who has been outstayed over about 3m the last twice.

16:00 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 1st (7) (7/4 +88%) Je Suis Sacre	1.75 7/4(+88%)	(7) Je Suis Sacre 7/4, Lightly-raced maiden has been well-held on two starts in handicap company. Step up in trip offers some cause for optimism, but he's hard to recommend on recent evidence. Tailed off in his first two handicaps and dramatic improvement is needed now up in trip.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 -20%) Ami Bondhu	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Ami Bondhu 4/1, Bumper winner made a promising handicap debut when third at Lingfield (16f) in December, shaping as though he might have a race in him at this level. Proved a little disappointing when only finishing 4th at Market Rasen (20f) earlier this month but still remains of interest in a moderate contest. Bumper winner who has posted fair performances in both handicaps; might not be far away.
9 3rd (9) (9/1 +64%) Atlantic Power	9 9/1(+64%)	(9) Atlantic Power 9/1, Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points but showed little sign of ability in a bumper and 3 hurdles under Rules. Step up in trip on handicap debut offers only faint hope of improvement. Has struggled under rules but the step up in trip could suit on handicap debut.
8 4th (8) (33/1 -83%) Millies Mite	33 33/1(-83%)	(8) Millies Mite 33/1, Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when breaking longstanding maiden tag at this venue over fences (19.5f) in April, however she has failed to fire this season. Wears first-time hood back over the smaller obstacles and return to scene of her sole victory needs to spark a revival. A return to form is needed but she's often run well here and is not written off.
5 5th (5) (18/1 +10%) Military Tycoon	18 18/1(+10%)	(5) Military Tycoon 18/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but has underachieved over hurdles so far, again showing little on handicap debut at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Needs to improve for the step up in trip, but he's one to note in the market for a yard that have a knack of improving low-grade handicappers. Flat winner whose hurdle mark continues to fall, but for good reason.
10 \|B\| (10) (9/1 -13%) Nowyouvebinandunit	9 9/1(-13%)	(10) Nowyouvebinandunit 9/1, Maiden placed in a couple of 2m4f handicap hurdles in the summer of 2023 but returned well-below form (after 16 months off) when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) in 75 days ago. Makes debut for very capable yard but one only to be interested in if market vibes are positive. Failed to threaten on comeback but has gone close in the past; watch betting on yard debut.
3 \|F\| (3) (12/1 -41%) Just Go For It	12 12/1(-41%)	(3) Just Go For It 12/1, Veteran performer had yet to really fire this season, although not disgraced when fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 36 days ago. He's now back down to his last winning mark and it wouldn't be a surprise to see an improved effort. Runs off last winning mark and ran okay at Taunton last month; each-way contender.
2 \|U\| (2) (7/2 -17%) Bobalot	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Bobalot 7/2, C&D winner bounced back to form with headgear discarded on his first outing since leaving Ben Clarke (after 8 months off) when second at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, shaping as though this longer trip will suit. If he can build on that effort, he is one of the more likely types in this field C&D winner who returned to form with second at Chepstow and is firmly in calculations.

16:00 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

LIGHTONTHEWING pulled clear with the eventual runner-up when gamely scoring over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow on his return to hurdles duty earlier this month, and the suspicion is that a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. Bobalot shaped with promise when second over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow recently and he looks the main danger, ahead of Ami Bondhu.

AMI BONDHU has shown enough in a brace of handicap starts to suggest he is capable of winning a modest race such as this. Lightonthewing is the only runner to have won a race this season, and he has claims of making it back-to-back victories, while Bobalot has a chance if in the same form as when finishing second on his reappearance/stable debut 2 weeks ago.

Course chase winner LIGHTONTHEWING exploited a lower hurdle mark at Chepstow a fortnight ago and remains well treated in this sphere.

16:30 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 1st (2) (9/4 +10%) Record High	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(2) Record High 9/4, A fairly useful bumper winner in 2022. Raced only once in 2 years after but back to form when placed over fences here last 2 starts and must have every chance in this field. Not far away in slow-ground chases here the last twice and his mark was left alone.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 0%) Jukebox D'eddy	5 5/1(0%)	(5) Jukebox D'eddy 5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who reached the frame in a couple of handicap chases at up to 3m in the autumn. Not at best last 2 starts but capable of being involved in a change of headgear. Not in bad form but only three completed last time and he's still a maiden.
1 3rd (1) (9/1 -260%) Dear Ralphy	9 9/1(-260%)	(1) Dear Ralphy 9/1, Made an inauspicious start over fences when falling at the sixth at Wincanton over a year ago but was in top form over hurdles when last seen in the summer. Can go well fresh and interesting that connections are willing to have another go in this sphere. Capable staying hurdler but has steered clear of fences since falling 13 months ago.
4 4th (4) (9/4 +55%) Abbeyhill	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(4) Abbeyhill 9/4, Dual hurdles scorer around 3m last term. Best efforts over fences this season when making the frame in this headgear at Market Rasen/Ffos Las last 2 starts and there's still an air of unfinished business over fences with him. Below par this campaign but the upside is that he's back on a very good mark.

16:30 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

RECORD HIGH only found one too good off this mark over an extended 3m3f at this venue a month ago and Suzy Smith's eight-year-old has to be of interest on the back of that performance. Jukebox D'eddy also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing, albeit over hurdles, and he has to be noted. Any market support for Dear Ralphy on his return would be interesting.

RECORD HIGH is threatening to win over fences and this could be it. Dear Ralphy made an inauspicious start over fences over a year ago but he was in top form over hurdles in the summer and can go well fresh, so may emerge as the biggest threat with connections willing to have another go in this sphere.

All of these carry some doubts but RECORD HIGH has rediscovered some form of late and that's come at this track.

17:00 Fontwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
5 (5) (13/8 +41%) General Briar	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(5) General Briar 13/8, £55,000 recruit from the Irish point field at the end of 2023. It's taken a bit of time to get him to the track but this close relation to the yard's smart chaser Annual Invictus would still enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. Point runner-up; makes bumper debut after absence but with trainer in good form.
2 (2) (15/8 -15%) Cinquenta	1.875 15/8(-15%)	(2) Cinquenta 15/8, Third on both starts, stepping up on the form of his debut when beaten just over 8 lengths at Warwick on New Year's Eve. That sets the standard but it's not a particularly exacting one. Third at Chepstow and Warwick and holds leading form claims this afternoon.
4 (4) (5/2 +0%) Gaelic Pride	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Gaelic Pride 5/2, Purchased for £50,000 after making it fourth time lucky in Irish points in November. Harry Cobden booked for Rules debut. A likely type. Won a point at the fourth attempt; one to be interested in on his first bumper start.
1 (1) (25/1 -14%) Chivalrous George	25 25/1(-14%)	(1) Chivalrous George 25/1, 13/2, held back by inexperience when a remote fifth of 6 on C&D debut on Boxing Day. Will need to leave that well behind. Just 13-2 for his debut here but was tailed off and may be best watched for now.
6 (6) (40/1 -21%) Khalife Des Obeaux	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Khalife Des Obeaux 40/1, 12/1, down the field on his Hereford debut in December. Well beaten at 12-1 on debut at Hereford (good to soft) in December; transformation needed.
8 (8) (80/1 +20%) Mistress Fox	80 80/1(+20%)	(8) Mistress Fox 80/1, 40/1, last of 7 in bumper at Chepstow on debut last March. Has a tongue strap added on return. Can only watch. 40-1 when always behind on debut at Chepstow (2m, soft) last March; absent since.
7 (7) (100/1 +0%) Sure To Be Sure	100 100/1(+0%)	(7) Sure To Be Sure 100/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Gaillimh A Chroi, but showed little in 2 bumpers in the autumn (62 lengths last of 3 at Exeter latterly). Tailed off at big odds in the autumn on his first two runs.

17:00 Fontwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

CINQUENTA confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when third again in a competitive event at Warwick in December. With further improvement likely, the five-year-old just tops the shortlist. Gaelic Pride is an Irish point-to-point winner who has to be noted on his Rules debut following his 50,000-pound purchase. General Briar and Crossgales King are others to consider in an open event.

The vote goes to Harry Cobden's mount GAELIC PRIDE, with confidence in this point winner's chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Crossgales King and General Briar are other interesting recruits from the Irish point scene, while Cinquenta has shown a fair level of ability when twice third in similar races.

Chris Gordon won the last running of this race in 2023 and point runner-up GENERAL BRIAR is taken to defy an absence on bumper debut.

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.
