1st (3)  (40/1 +20%)Clinton Lane |
40/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clinton Lane 40/1, Appeared to take a sizeable step forward when third in an 8-runner maiden at Wincanton in October but hasn't been able to repeat that effort since, including in handicaps. Has undergone breathing surgery since last seen. Placed at huge odds in a maiden in October but has struggled in low-grade handicaps since. |
|||
2nd (1)  (1/4 +24%)All Authorized |
1/4(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) All Authorized 1/4, Debut bumper winner who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, patiently ridden when fourth of 5 in novice at Sandown (16f, soft) last month. Better form when runner-up on handicap debut 16 days ago and that sets the clear standard back in a maiden. Second on recent handicap debut at Newbury; has strong claims in this maiden. |
|||
3rd (9)  (22/1 +33%)Dance In The Park |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dance In The Park 22/1, Posted good second (with hood on) in a course bumper on NH debut in September but not at that level in a brace of bumpers since. Second in mares' bumper here in September but subsequent bumper form was underwhelming. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/2 +0%)Seaside Legend |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seaside Legend 9/2, Fair in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and left behind a low-key hurdles debut when fifth of 12 at Plumpton last month, finishing with running left. Capable of better. Made steady late headway at Plumpton last month and has each-way claims here. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/1 -120%)Mount Washington |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mount Washington 11/1, Out of a bumper winner and showed something to work on when third on debut in November. Well beaten in listed company at Newbury since but now goes hurdling at an ordinary level. Struggled in Listed bumper last month but his debut third was a pretty good effort. |
|||
6th (2)  (50/1 -150%)Brave Ruler |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brave Ruler 50/1, Showed ability when fourth in a bumper at Chepstow in January but folded over the same C&D since. Shaped quite well on bumper debut but his second run was disappointing; hurdle debut today. |
|||
7th (4)  (28/1 +15%)El Bandido Pancho |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) El Bandido Pancho 28/1, Westerner gelding. Dam, no form over hurdles/fences, sister to useful chaser (stayed 21f) Mr Medic. Shaped better than end result suggests in a Chepstow. Beaten about 52l in heavy-ground Chepstow bumper on debut in January. |
|||
8th (8)  (66/1 +34%)Ballygelly |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ballygelly 66/1, £25,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt in October. Low-key start to Rules career. Irish point winner in October but has shown no significant promise in two recent hurdles. |
|||
9th (10)  (125/1 +38%)Surrey Nemesis |
125/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Surrey Nemesis 125/1, Little in the way of solid form in a trio of bumpers. Well down the field at triple-digit odds in all three bumpers; hurdle debut today. |
|||
|F| (7)  (80/1 -21%)Sir Maximus |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sir Maximus 80/1, Limited impact in a bumper/maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Pulled up in run-of-the-mill Plumpton maiden on last month's hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The one to beat is ALL AUTHORIZED, who moves back into novice company after a creditable second in a recent Newbury handicap.

1st (3)  (9/2 +10%)Tip Top Mountain |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tip Top Mountain 9/2, Course winner but he again failed to see out his race when fourth of 9 in handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 33 days ago. More is needed. Won three chases in early 2023 but yet to hit top gear after three starts this season. |
|||
2nd (5)  (13/8 +54%)Hermes Du Gouet |
13/8(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hermes Du Gouet 13/8, Point/hurdles winner who has failed to fire in 2m3f handicap chases at Exeter and Chepstow this winter. Others appeal more. Safely held over 2m3f in first two chases; might fare better over this new trip. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (7/4 -7%)Dr Kananga |
7/4(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dr Kananga 7/4, Lightly raced 10-y-o who arrives in good form, second over C&D and at Catterick last month. Well in the mix off an unchanged mark. Back in form with two good runs (one over C&D) in headgear last month; respected. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (11/2 +27%)Max Dynamo |
11/2(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Max Dynamo 11/2, C&D winner who wasn't discredited when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Lingfield (28.8f, soft) 34 days ago. Can race off a 3 lb lower mark so rates a player. Late-blooming teenager who was second in Southern National here in November. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sprightly 14yo MAX DYNAMO is now 1lb lower than when running a big race in defeat in the Southern National here in November.

1st (4)  (16/5 +20%)Only Fools |
16/5(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Only Fools 16/5, Gained a first success over hurdles in mares' novices' handicap at Ludlow (21.3f, soft) in November and backed up that effort when a close third at Leicester in January. Below-par run at Plumpton last time, though she's not discounted given the form she was in previously. Below par last time but was in good form beforehand and remains on a workable mark. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2/1 +20%)Callin Baton Rouge |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Callin Baton Rouge 2/1, Remains a maiden but, with cheekpieces reapplied, ran well when second in mares' handicap at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) in February. Couldn't match that level at the same C&D 2 weeks later, but no surprise to see her bounce back returned to this longer trip. 0-8 over hurdles but a major player if judged on last month's Plumpton second. |
|||
3rd (1)  (7/1 -211%)Sailing Grace |
7/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sailing Grace 7/1, Made a winning debut at Newton Abbot last season, before still looking in need of the experience when runner-up at Ayr next time. All but came down at the fourth at Hereford on her final outing, so she could still have more to offer now handicapping on her return. Major player. Makes handicap debut after long absence but could be on a good mark; interesting. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/2 +25%)Luna Run |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Luna Run 9/2, Bred for longer trips and shaped in kind when making the frame in Exeter mares' maiden hurdle (16.7f) on debut. However, she's finished well held both starts this season, so she has work to do as she makes her handicap bow. Unexposed after only three runs but improvement is needed on this handicap debut. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (6/1 +50%)Set In The West |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Set In The West 6/1, Only poor form at best in 2021/22 and pulled up on her return from 22 months off at this course (21.8f) in January. Took a small step back in the right direction when third in handicap at Plumpton (25f, soft) 3 weeks ago, but others still make more appeal back down in trip. Didn't run badly over 3m1f last month but may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (9/1 -50%)Miss Fedora |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Miss Fedora 9/1, Opened her account at this C&D in November but pulled up on 2 of her 3 starts since. However, it was one of her better efforts when fourth here (21.8f, soft) on her penultimate run, not quite seeing out the longer trip, so she's capable of getting involved if on a going day. C&D winner in November but pulled up on two of three starts since; hard to predict. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A chance is taken on the fitness of long-absent handicap debutante SAILING GRACE, who could be on a very good mark.

1st (4)  (2/1 +0%)Mumbles |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mumbles 2/1, Winner in hurdle at Chepstow in January. Creditable second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 5/4) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Wide-margin winner at Chepstow in January and good second under penalty soon afterwards. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/4 +32%)Sangiovese |
9/4(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sangiovese 9/4, Brought along steadily before getting off the mark on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January, forging clear. Progressed again despite going about things in laboured fashion once more when runner-up here last time and although he's 5 lb higher, he should go well again. Raced lazily in first two handicaps but finished well both times; blinkers now added. |
|||
3rd (2)  (2/1 -60%)Molto Bene |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Molto Bene 2/1, Left the form of first 2 starts behind when third in a Warwick mares' novice with a tongue strap enlisted in January. Took another step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) recently and, with further progress likely, this 6 lb higher mark could be within her reach. Won readily by 6l on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton and can improve again. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/1 +30%)Word Has It |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Word Has It 7/1, Made a successful return in a 3-runner contest here in November. Seemed unsuited by the stiff track when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Others are preferred up in trip. Below form last time but has dropped to a good mark and is unexposed over this trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The pick is MOLTO BENE (nap), who drew nicely clear to make a winning handicap debut at Plumpton last month and can improve again.

1st (2)  (9/4 +59%)The Scorpion King |
9/4(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Scorpion King 9/4, Unreliable maiden who didn't shape too badly on his chase debut here in January but subsequently ran no sort of a race at at Market Rasen. Opposable. Made quite encouraging chasing debut but his latest run was disappointing. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 -50%)Mister Murchan |
9/4(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mister Murchan 9/4, Losing run stretches back to January 2021 and, not for the first time, he rather snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when collared close home after hanging/idling at Lingfield (2¾m, heavy). Still, that was a stronger race than this and dropping back in trip/refitting of cheekpieces may help. No win since 2021 but went close this month and remains well handicapped. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +33%)Concrete King |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Concrete King 4/1, Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-18 under Rules after checking out tamely when the chips were down at Chepstow last time. Likely to come up short once more. Has quickly gone off the boil since running well in first-time cheekpieces in November. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/2 -83%)Ideallko |
11/2(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ideallko 11/2, Has improved for the switch to chasing, striking at Ffos Las and Plumpton in October. May well have added to his tally had he jumped with greater fluency when second in a 4-runner affair at Doncaster (19f, soft) recently and solid chance off the same mark here. Dual chase winner in the autumn and posted another good effort this month; big player. |
|||
5th (5)  (6/1 -33%)Staar |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Staar 6/1, Just one effort of note under Rules, namely when going close in a Wincanton handicap hudle in December 2022. Not so good in 4 subsequent starts, though, and didn't get very far on recent chase debut at Bangor. Lightly raced for his age but unseated rider on chase debut; others have less to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Topweight MISTER MURCHAN remains well handicapped after his agonising defeat at Lingfield two weeks ago and gets the nod.

1st (5)  (5/4 +9%)Twp Stori |
5/4(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Twp Stori 5/4, Poor form but his efforts in handicap hurdles recently suggest he has a race in him, going down only narrowly over 23f at Lingfield latest. Leading claims. Collared only in closing stages by a progressive rival when upped to 2m7f last month. |
|||
2nd (3)  (4/1 +43%)Blackacre |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blackacre 4/1, Modest maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap at Hereford (25.5f, soft) last time. Others more persuasive. Remote third on handicap debut but has run poorly since; has questions to answer. |
|||
3rd (1)  (17/2 -70%)Hello Sunshine |
17/2(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hello Sunshine 17/2, Produced a career best to double her tally over hurdles when scoring with ease at Plumpton (25f) last May. Creditable fourth at Stratford later that month but not seen again until pulled up at Kempton 5 weeks ago. In good form last spring but pulled up last month, after a layoff. |
|||
4th (4)  (9/1 -64%)Bellamy's Grey |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bellamy's Grey 9/1, Unreliable in the main but this veteran has run with credit when reaching the frame in handicap hurdles at Wincanton on his last 2 starts. In the frame twice last month but this quirky veteran races lazily and is hard to predict. |
|||
5th (2)  (16/5 -16%)Fortuitous Favour |
16/5(-16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fortuitous Favour 16/5, Bumper winner who produced one of her better efforts over hurdles when third of 9 over 3m at Southwell last month. Went a little in snatches on that occasion so possible she'll benefit from today's first-time blinkers. Considered. Just a respectable third at Southwell last month; blinkers may prompt improvement 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. 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.
