1st (6) Mullinaree (2.75/1 +17%)
Mullinaree

2.75
2.75/1(+17%)
(6) Mullinaree 2.75/1, In the frame on first 5 attempts over hurdles and now chases a C&D hat-trick following a brace of small-field wins under this rider. No reason why he won't go well again.
Won both starts over C&D since hood added to tongue-tie; can pull out a bit more yet.
5
2nd (5) Mothill (3/1 +33%)
Mothill

3
3/1(+33%)
(5) Mothill 3/1, Won first 2 starts this term and far from disgraced since, finding only a progressive rival too strong at Chepstow last month. Stays this far and he's one to consider.
Good efforts in 2m handicaps of late; stays this trip; plenty to like.

3rd (2) Astromachia (3.33/1 -11%)
Astromachia

3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(2) Astromachia 3.33/1, Useful handicapper on Flat and bright start over hurdles following lengthy absence, landing Uttoxeter maiden (2m) in January and he showed a willing attitude when doubling tally here (17.7f) last month. 2 lb rise very fair and return to this trip will help.
Did well to win over 2m1f here last month when quite badly hampered; up 2lb; solid.
7
4th (7) Clearance (33/1 -83%)
Clearance

33
33/1(-83%)
(7) Clearance 33/1, Attracted support and took advantage of much-reduced mark at Newton Abbot in June. Ran no more than respectably in 2 outings there in July and limited impact on the level more recently. Up in trip.
Pulled up on latest hurdle start and well adrift on the AW in February; off since.

5th (1) Fifty Ball (6.5/1 +0%)
Fifty Ball

6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(1) Fifty Ball 6.5/1, Won at Ascot off 7 lb higher last spring and most encouraging run of this season when fifth of 14 there (21.5f) last month. Must cast aside a heavy defeat at Kempton but this is slightly easier with cheekpieces reached for.
Well handicapped on most recent win last March but had a slow winter and pulled up latest.
3
|PU| (3) Ucanaver (4/1 +56%)
Ucanaver

4
4/1(+56%)
(3) Ucanaver 4/1, Won a pair of mares' novice hurdles in 2021/22 but failed to take to chasing on her first 2 outings this season. Much more like it when placed twice returned to timber but most disappointing at Chepstow in March.
Both novice wins on good to soft; two good handicap runs (2m/3m) but lesser effort latest.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Predictions: 1st - 3.33/1 (6) MULLINAREE 2nd - 4.5/1 (5) MOTHILL 3rd - 3/1 (2) ASTROMACHIA

The application of a hood has appeared to make all the difference to MULLINAREE, who is two from two since it's fitting. With both of those successes coming over C&D, a further 3lb rise in the handicap is unlikely to scupper another bold bid and he edges the vote over last month's track scorer Astromachia. Mothill remains in good form and he should not be underestimated either.

Quite a few to consider, with ASTROMACHIA just about the most persuasive option with his Flat form suggesting he can improve the return to this longer trip. Mullinaree has struck up a good partnership with Bradley Harris here in recent weeks and he's a threat, along with Mothill.

Mullinaree is progressing and can be a threat but ASTROMACHIA did well to beat an in-form rival here last time and is preferred.

Hot Rod Lincoln

0.53
0.53/1(+56%)
(6) Hot Rod Lincoln 0.53/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and disappointed both outings after finishing fourth in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) on Rules bow. Back on track when third on handicap debut at Sandown 3 months ago and every chance he can open his account back in maiden company.
Very respectable third on handicap debut at Sandown, form that has worked out well.

2nd (9) Shandancer (3.5/1 +46%)
Shandancer

3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(9) Shandancer 3.5/1, Fair bumper performer in Ireland and respectable fifth on handicap debut in this sphere at Huntingdon (20.6f) in January. Failed to reproduce that level of form fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap on both subsequent outings though, and has had a breathing operation since last seen.
Didn't fire last time but showed some fair form beforehand; should be on the premises.
10
3rd (10) Tzunami (22/1 +0%)
Tzunami

22
22/1(+0%)
(10) Tzunami 22/1, Showed modest form in bumpers during 2020/21 campaign and showed his first form over hurdles when a well-beaten runner-up at this course (19.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Task is now backing that up.
Kept on for 80-1 second here last month and might snatch another minor proze today.

Jet Of Dreams

66
66/1(-65%)
(7) Jet Of Dreams 66/1, Cosily won sole start in Irish points but no show in 2 bumpers/maiden hurdle. Had a breathing operation since but can only be watched.
Won on Irish point debut in 2022 but has made very underwhelming start to rules career.
1
5th (1) Amalfi Bay (7/1 -100%)
Amalfi Bay

7
7/1(-100%)
(1) Amalfi Bay 7/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat but was only seen a handful of times in 2022 and finished tailed-off last at Haydock when last seen 7 months ago. Has since switched yards and he's not dismissed now starting out in this sphere with a tongue strap applied.
Fair on the Flat; can play a significant role here if he takes to hurdling for new stable.
11

Glorious Mist

200
200/1(-100%)
(11) Glorious Mist 200/1, Fame And Glory mare. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Rath An Iuir. Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (Feb 5).
0-8 in Irish points, having completed on only three occasions; makes rules debut today.
5
7th (5) Ferret Jeeter (10/1 -11%)
Ferret Jeeter

10
10/1(-11%)
(5) Ferret Jeeter 10/1, Half-brother to 3 winners and made a solid start when runner-up at Fontwell in August. Possibly amiss given how he shaped at Worcester 6 weeks later and not one to dismiss starting out over hurdles.
Off since poor bumper run in October but last summer's debut was quite promising.

(2) Blazing Hartingo 33/1, 11,000 gns 5-y-o, Mores Wells gelding. Closely related to fairly useful 21 hurdle winner Holly Hartingo. Dam point winner. Runner-up completed start in points, pulled up latest (Apr 22).
Second on Irish point debut but failed to complete two subsequent British points.

(8) Kayf Burren 150/1, Kayf Tara gelding who made an unpromising start to his career when pulled up in maiden hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 17 days ago.
Struggled when 40-1 for last month's debut at Plumpton (2m); moves up in trip here.

Crookbarrow

(3) Crookbarrow 200/1, Shirocco gelding who had been runner-up in a point bumper but was in trouble a long way out in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) last month. Tough to see him featuring on hurdles bow.
Second in a point bumper but struggled when 100-1 for a rules bumper; hurdle debut today.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 1.2/1 (6) HOT ROD LINCOLN seems to have a better chance as he has already performed well on his handicap debut and has a form that has worked out well. He is expected to do well in maiden company. For the second place, 3.5/1 (1) AMALFI BAY could be a contender if he is able to take well to hurdling for his new stable and perform at his previous level on the flat. For the third place, 8/1 (5) FERRET JEETER could be a possibility as he made a solid start in his debut and can possibly overcome his poor run in October.

Hot Rod Lincoln sets the standard with an official rating of 109 but while he merits respect, a chance is taken on AMALFI BAY. Now in the care of Anthony Honeyball, the five-year-old achieved a peak rating of 77 when campaigned on the Flat. On that evidence, he's likely to be good enough, although he will need to prove he can perform in this sphere. Shandancer can chase them home.

HOT ROD LINCOLN got firmly back on track when third on handicap debut at Sandown in February and Harry Fry's lightly-raced 7-y-o is fancied to open his account back in maiden company. Anthony Honeyball trained the winner of last year's renewal, and his pair of hurdling debutants, Amalfi Bay and Ferret Jeeter, could be the ones to give the selection most to think about, with Shandancer rounding off the shortlist on the back of a breathing operation.

This could be a good opportunity for HOT ROD LINCOLN, who got back in the groove with a good third in a Sandown handicap in February.

Bellamy's Grey

33
33/1(+0%)
(8) Bellamy's Grey 33/1, Just the one victory to his name under Rules and was well held again back over hurdles at Exeter (23.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 4 lb out of the weights.
Has modest 1-29 strike-rate under rules and tends to race lazily nowadays.

Doctor Foley

0.67
0.67/1(+51%)
(5) Doctor Foley 0.67/1, Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points and as the market predicted, he proved a different proposition sent chasing in a tongue tie when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Bangor (24f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Sure to have more to offer so looks the one to beat.
Off the mark when upped to 3m for chase/handicap debut; can improve again.

Unblinking

16
16/1(+20%)
(4) Unblinking 16/1, Opened chase account at the fourth attempt in a weak race at Hereford (25.2f, good) in February but has been well beaten on both subsequent starts. Plenty to prove all of a sudden.
Big player if judged on Hereford win in February but was lacklustre a fortnight ago.

3rd (9) Auld Sod (40/1 +0%)
Auld Sod

40

(9) Auld Sod 40/1, Course winner on return in 2020/21 and only other victory came in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f) in June 2021 when trained by Philip Hobbs. Has been out of sorts for some time now so can't be recommended.
Soundly beaten in all four starts last season and hopes of a revival are beginning to fade.
10
4th (10) Passing Secrets (7/1 +79%)
Passing Secrets

7
7/1(+79%)
(10) Passing Secrets 7/1, Runner-up 4 times over fences in 2021/22 but suffered heavy defeats first 5 starts last term. However, he offered a glimmer a hope when fifth at Bangor in March but needs to back that up back over the larger obstacles.
Hinted at possible return to form over hurdles last time but still has a lot to prove.
2
5th (2) Felton Bellevue (5.5/1 +21%)
Felton Bellevue

5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(2) Felton Bellevue 5.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has bettered that level over fences, winning handicap chases at Hereford and Market Rasen in early-2022. Mixed record last campaign though, only 15¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Doyens De Ante at Chepstow (26.2f, good) 12 days ago.
Just a respectable fifth last time but has claims if judged on close second in February.
7

Allardyce

28
28/1(+30%)
(7) Allardyce 28/1, Losing run stretches back to early-2020 and has been pulled up on his last 3 outings (latest over hurdles). Looks opposable again.
High-mileage 11yo who has looked out of sorts and been pulled up on all three runs in 2023.
3
|PU| (3) Mister Tickle (9/1 +36%)
Mister Tickle

9
9/1(+36%)
(3) Mister Tickle 9/1, Completed a hat-trick over fences during second half of 2021 (twice over C&D) but he is hard to recommend based on what he showed last season.
Ran quite well two starts ago but is usually very unenthusiastic nowadays.
1
|PU| (1) Uallrightharry (14/1 -56%)
Uallrightharry

14
14/1(-56%)
(1) Uallrightharry 14/1, Got his head in front for the first time since October 2019 when scoring in decisive fashion at Plumpton in December and similar form when third at Kempton (24f, heavy) in March. However, he ran a shocker at former track last month so tough to support on that evidence.
Won at Plumpton during the winter but this 11yo has become very hard to predict.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.38/1 (5) DOCTOR FOLEY 2nd: 2.5/1 (6) DOYENS DE ANTE 3rd: 7/1 (2) FELTON BELLEVUE

DOCTOR FOLEY was a comfortable winner at Bangor on his fencing debut last month, and Anthony Honeyball's unexposed six-year-old is expected to prove too strong once more with further improvement likely. Recent Chepstow scorer Doyens De Ante ought to be in the thick of things again, while Mister Tickle, who finds himself 14lb below his last winning mark, cannot be ruled out.

DOCTOR FOLEY proved a different proposition sent chasing when scoring in decisive fashion at Bangor last month and, with further improvement on the cards, Anthony Honeyball's 6-y-o is likely to take some stopping in his follow up bid. Doyens de Ante looks the obvious threat having seen out the longer trip thoroughly when opening his account at Chepstow 12 days ago, with Felton Bellevue seemingly best of the remainder.

Unexposed 6yo DOCTOR FOLEY (nap) won readily when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut and probably still has potential.

(6) Royal Lake 1.62/1, Attracted support and took advantage of a reduced mark refitted with cheekpieces in 2¾m course handicap last month. Creditable 2 lengths third of 13 over 3m at Southwell since. Should go well again.
Course winner; up 2lb and again in trip; likely to need further improvement..

Blade Runner

(3) Blade Runner 3/1, Made it 3 from 4 over fences when landing 4-runner handicap at Plumpton (28.5f, good to soft) in November. Off 5 months, typically raced in snatches but performed respectably when third back hurdling at Warwick 6 weeks ago.
Third on return to hurdles latest; drops 2lb; less testing ground a positive; contender..

Again plugged on for second at Huntingdon; extra furlong looks positive; player..

A 13yo now and well beaten on his recent return from an absence..
LTO Selection:

18:45 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to do well are 2.5/1 (6) ROYAL LAKE, 3.33/1 (2) LANSPARK, and 2.75/1 (3) BLADE RUNNER. 2.5/1 (6) ROYAL LAKE has won on the course before, attracted support, and performed well in a recent race. 3.33/1 (2) LANSPARK has been consistently finishing in second place and made a good start for his new stable. 2.75/1 (3) BLADE RUNNER has recently won a handicap race and performed respectably in his last hurdle race. 40/1 (7) ITSABOUTIME is unlikely to do well as he is out of the weights and has been well beaten in recent outings. 14/1 (5) SANDY BOY has also been well below par since his return from absence. 4/1 (1) SIROBBIE has been largely below par lately despite being a six-time hurdle winner.

LANSPARK finished a promising second on his stable debut for Robbie Llewellyn at Huntingdon and with improvement a distinct possibility, he could go one place better off the same mark. Blade Runner would have likely finished closer on his return from a winter break at Warwick but for making some jumping errors and he's feared most if cutting out the mistakes. Royal Lake also arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.

ROYAL LAKE's recent Southwell third appeals as solid form and he can add to last month's course success. Lanspark made a solid start for the Robbie Llewellyn yard when second at Huntingdon and is feared most ahead of Blade Runner.

Sirobbie drops in class but BLADE RUNNER may be able to exploit his current mark.

(7) Sir Rock 9/1, Irish point winner but he offered little on his yard/handicap debut when pulled up over 2m3f here 53 days ago. Plenty more is required.

Improved to win on recent handicap debut and could easily have more to offer; big player.

Latest run was a step in the right direction, but he still has a lot to prove.
LTO Selection:

19:15 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 2.5/1 (2) DOYEN FOR MONEY 2nd place: 5/1 (6) FOREST JUMP 3rd place: 9/1 (8) DOYEN QUEEN

DOYEN FOR MONEY took a big step forward when winning on his handicap debut at Plumpton and is hard to oppose off only 4lb higher. Doyen Queen was far from disgraced in fourth on her belated return in a maiden hurdle at Warwick and she isn't taken lightly now back in the handicap ranks. Forest Jump has been shaping as if this stiffer test could unlock some potential and he also warrants consideration.

DOYEN FOR MONEY showed the benefit of a tongue tie when opening his account at Plumpton and can make light of a 4 lb weight rise in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Rebel Intentions took a step back in the right direction when seventh at Ascot last time and is feared most, with Forest Jump also in the mix now his stamina is drawn out more.

Preference is for FOREST JUMP, who still has low mileage and has been dropped 3lb since finishing third in a warm race in February.

(6) Heneryetta Bay 14/1, No real impact in a trio of starts over timber but won her sole start in Irish points and is worth monitoring in the market, sent handicapping on chase debut.
Point winner who shaped with promise in two maiden hurdles towards end of last season.

(2) Ballybeen 2.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler but already a better chaser, finishing runner-up on all 3 starts in this sphere, latest in 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) last month. Likely to go well again.
Clear second to revitalised subsequent winner last month; commands respect here.

(7) Alberic 7.5/1, Scored over hurdles and fences in early 2022 but not been in same form since. Offered a little more when fourth of 6 at this course (19.5f, good to firm) latest but percentage call is to look elsewhere.
Seemed to have emerged from a spell of very poor form when fourth here last month.

(3) Big 'n Better 50/1, Improved on his fair hurdles form as he made a winning debut in this discipline over C&D when last seen in May 2021. Could have more to offer in this sphere if all is well.
Made all over C&D on chasing debut in May 2021 but not seen again since.

(4) I Giorni 4.5/1, Point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Hereford (16.2f) in March and backed that up with solid second of 10 in handicap at same course (19.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Big player on chase debut.
Won on handicap hurdle debut in March and looks interesting on today's chasing debut.

Twenty Twenty

8.5/1(+39%)
(1) Twenty Twenty 8.5/1, Won 3-runner Kempton handicap (24f) in spring of last year and ran to similar level when placed over same C&D the following month. However, hampered and fell at first fence on recent return from year off and this run should reveal more.
Missed almost all of last season and fell at first fence on recent reappearance.

12/1(+0%)
(9) Oscar Asche 12/1, Fair hurdler for Rebecca Curtis but record was a patchy one and has offered little in 3 outings for new yard following a lengthy absence, including back over the larger obstacles here last month. 2 lb out of the handicap.
Soundly beaten on all three starts since returning from long absence this year.
LTO Selection:

19:45 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the horse that is predicted to do well and is likely to finish in the top three is 1.88/1 (2) BALLYBEEN, who has already shown promising performances in the chasing sphere. The second and third place horses cannot be accurately predicted based on the information provided.

Twenty Twenty came to grief at the first on his comeback at Kempton last week, but there will be plenty who keep the faith, especially considering he has dropped to his last winning mark. Even so, BALLYBEEN has been knocking on the door of late and finished a decent second behind Sainte Doctor at Chepstow last month. Now eased in class, he gets the nod to take full advantage. Pawpaw also warrants a market check.

Irish point winner I GIORNI has been in good form over timber and looks fairly treated on her chasing bow. She is taken to score. Pawpaw and Ballybeen rate the principal dangers.

After running commendably well in defeat in his first three chases, BALLYBEEN is taken to get a much deserved win on the board.

(4) Mays Hill 3.5/1, Made an encouraging start to her career when third in an AW bumper at Lingfield just before Christmas but failed to build on it when only seventh (Stuti and Bethpage both ahead of her) at Newbury since. Might well bounce back after a short break.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Fontwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in the top three are 5.5/1 (1) BLUELLA BRESIL, 2.5/1 (2) CALLIN BATON ROUGE, and 2.5/1 (4) MAYS HILL. 5.5/1 (1) BLUELLA BRESIL has a solid record and could do well if the market speaks in her favor. Similarly, 2.5/1 (2) CALLIN BATON ROUGE is a likely contender with a strong performance on Irish point debut. 2.5/1 (4) MAYS HILL has also shown promise, with an encouraging start to her career and a possible rebound after a short break. 12/1 (9) LUCKY PUNCH is worth considering as well, having placed third in a recent point bumper.

Only narrowly denied in a point-to-point in February, CALLIN BATON ROUGE has since changed hands for 30,000 pounds and can make both a winning stable and Rules bow for Warren Greatrex here. Sassy Miss Margot should come into her own over further and when faced with an obstacle, but is an interesting newcomer for Milton Harris. Lucky Punch, third between the flags last month, can also get involved.

CALLIN BATON ROUGE was second on her only start between the flags and this looks a good opportunity for her to make a successful switch to Rules. Mays Hill is the clear pick of those with experience in this discipline and she ranks as the main threat ahead of Bluella Bresil.

Nothing really stands out but MAYS HILL was not disgraced at Newbury on her second start and can hopefully build upon her debut third.

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.
