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

The returning BLAME THE GAME recorded a solid fourth in a 20-runner affair at Cheltenham in April and looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature. Better is expected of Captain Tommy now reverting to chasing and the nine-year-old may emerge as the chief threat with his fitness assured. Hipop Des Ongrais ended his campaign by filling the frame at Ludlow and is another to consider.

BLAME THE GAME signed off a productive 2022/23 campaign with an excellent effort in a big-field handicap at Cheltenham and given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern. He's a very appealing candidate, with Captain Tommy feared most back over the larger obstacles.

This longer trip should suit HIPOP DES ONGRAIS and he edges preference over the solid Blame The Game.

Iolaos Du Mou has proved expensive to follow, although Nicky Henderson's charge must merit respect in this open contest. A similar level of performance to his runner-up effort at Huntingdon in May shouldn't see him far away, but it may pay to take a chance on hurdling debutant KING WILLIAM RUFUS. The six-year-old achieved some fair form in bumpers last season and has the scope to excel in this discipline. Duhallow Tommy, Idy Wood and Corporal Jackjones are noted too.

KING WILLIAM RUFUS shaped with plenty of promise in a trio of bumpers last season and appeals as the type to take well to hurdling, so he's put forward as the answer. Idy Wood enjoyed the run of the race when winning his sole outing in bumpers in February, but was quite an expensive 4-y-o who should have a future jumping, while Iolaos du Mou and Duhallow Tommy are others to consider in an interesting early-season novice.

This has the look of a decent race. KING WILLIAM RUFUS gets the nod on the strength of his bumper runs.

Representing the in-form Dan Skelton yard, SACRE COEUR could be worth chancing on her return to chasing. The daughter of Montmartre has posted two solid efforts in defeat for current connections over hurdles and may get her head in front now over the larger obstacles. Unanswered Prayers hasn't proved the most reliable, but he's dangerous to dismiss on the back of a break, while Copperhead lurks on an attractive mark.

It could be worth chancing UP THE STRAIGHT, who took a step back in the right direction when third at Kempton in May and he ran well on his return in this last year off a higher mark. Sacre Coeur is potentially well treated back in this sphere so rates the main threat on only her third start for Dan Skelton.

Richard Rowe's UP THE STRAIGHT (nap) perhaps should have won this last year and he returns off a similar absence.

15:30 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

LOGISTICAL was a creditable second at Plumpton last time and would not need to improve much further to open his account over timber. The fitting of a first-time visor might help to eke out more. Cosmic View has some fair Flat form to his name and must be of interest on his hurdling bow. Vale Dolobo Dancer completes the shortlist.

The market should prove a useful guide in relation to the hurdles debutants but COSMIC VIEW (a fair maiden on the Flat) starts out for a yard that do particularly well in this sphere and he shades the vote without the benefit of market clues. Logistical has an experience edge over most and he, along with David Pipe's Makanao head up the dangers.

If LOGISTICAL can repeat his Plumpton form with a visor now applied then he should be difficult to beat in a weak hurdle.

Clearance has proven to be a consistent performer and can once again showcase that ability, along with Small Bad Bob, who arrives having been narrowly denied over 2m3f here in May. However, the vote goes to BROOKIE. He has yet to add to his Limerick maiden success but, having finished a good fourth in a warm handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April, a similar performance might suffice on his first outing for the Anthony Honeyball team.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to SMALL BAD BOB who starts life with the excellent Chris Gordon on a handy-looking mark and can take full advantage. Clearance is a reliable sort and fancied to get back on track after a blip at Stratford, with Brookie and Tapley also in the mix.

GAMBIE TIEP made amends for unseating his rider four out at Plumpton last month when making all with a bit in hand over 2m1f at Bangor on Wednesday and a repeat performance can see him defy a 7lb penalty to complete a quick-fire double today.Impression Chic sports a tongue-tie for the first time on her chasing bow and is expected to improve in this sphere following a trio of runs in novice/maiden hurdles at Worcester. A wind operation may benefit En Coeur, who is only 1lb higher than his Plumpton success in January, and he warrants respect.

GAMBIE TIEP proved that he can cope with races in quick succession when scoring twice over hurdles within the space of five days in July, and the 7-y-o will prove hard to beat if allowed to take his chance here on the back of a decisive display at Bangor on Wednesday. Impression Chic is an interesting option for forecast purposes, given that she may well step up on her hurdling exploits now switched to fences. Princess Midnight and Gone In Sixty should both have parts to play, too.

BEAT THE HEAT was in fine fettle when last seen over hurdles at this track in November 2022, when making it three course victories for the year, and the six-year-old arrives following a recent success on the level at Bath. It would be no surprise to see him pick up where he left off over timber. A wind operation and a tongue-tie may benefit Belgarum, who performed with promise on both attempts in handicap company in the spring. Sir Rock, a winner here in May, and Sassified appeal most of the remainder.

BEAT THE HEAT has an excellent record at this track and is fresh from an improved effort on the Flat, so he's fancied to add to a good hurdling strike rate. Sami Bear and Sassified both remain with potential and are feared.

One who might go well is BELGARUM, who has had wind surgery since making a solid start to his life handicaps back in the spring.

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.
