(4) Montgomery 7/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/chaser Hazzaar. Showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a Worcester bumper on debut a year ago. Subsequently left Tom Lacey for £100,000. Open to improvement. Tongue tied.
9
2nd (9) (6/1 +50%) Vengeance
6
6/1(+50%)
(9) Vengeance 6/1, Poor in bumpers but showed more sent hurdling when third in a 19.3 maiden at Ascot in March, seeming to benefit from the step up in trip.
7
3rd (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Clapton Hill
3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(7) Clapton Hill 3.5/1, Dunaden gelding. Half-brother to smart bumper winner/very smart hurdler Thyme Hill. Shaped like a stayer when third in a 2m Warwick bumper on debut in May, so is bound to be suited by this longer trip on hurdle debut.
10
4th (10) (14/1 -17%) Wind Of Fortune
14
14/1(-17%)
(10) Wind Of Fortune 14/1, In a leading yard but has been pulled up both starts in bumpers.
6
5th (6) (1/1 +78%) Viking's Way
1
1/1(+78%)
(6) Viking's Way 1/1, €43,000 3-y-o, £18,000 6-y-o, Martaline gelding. Brother to smart hurdler/chaser Vanillier, and half-brother to fairly useful chaser Vif Ardent. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, 12.2f winner on Flat. Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (May 7). Appears stable first string on jockey bookings.
5
6th (5) (33/1 +50%) Of All The Greys
33
33/1(+50%)
(5) Of All The Greys 33/1, Well held in sole bumper and went backwards from hurdling debut when down the field at Worcester (20f, good) in July. Handicaps presumably up after this.
3
|R| (3) (22/1 +78%) Hartnoll Hero
22
22/1(+78%)
(3) Hartnoll Hero 22/1, Showed ability in bumpers earlier in his career but down the field completed starts over hurdles (has refused to race twice).
LTO Selection:
13:12 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Time Flies By 0.22/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who matched that level over hurdles when runner-up twice in 2020/21. Hasn't stood much racing and having fallen on chase debut in July, he wasn't in top form back over timber despite finishing second at Newton Abbot.
1
2nd (1) (12/1 +40%) Camulus
12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Camulus 12/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed plenty of ability switched to Rules when fourth of 8 in a Taunton bumper in April. Not given a hard time once chance of winning had gone on hurdles debut 2 weeks ago and this trip will suit.
2
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Dancing Harry
4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(2) Dancing Harry 4.5/1, Notched fourth Flat success when taking a 1¾m Salisbury handicap in June. Below par next 2 starts and while he is bred to make a jumper (dam is a half-sister to a couple of winning hurdlers) he didn't show a great deal starting out at Stratford 16 days ago.
7
4th (7) (50/1 +50%) Doyen Street
50
50/1(+50%)
(7) Doyen Street 50/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Penneys Hun and modest hurdler/fair chaser Not The Chablis. Placed on last of 4 starts in Irish points but looks a handicap project over obstacles.
10
5th (10) (25/1 +75%) Bonnet
25
25/1(+75%)
(10) Bonnet 25/1, Modest bumper performer who looks a work-in-progress over hurdles.
9
|PU| (9) (80/1 +20%) Vinland
80
80/1(+20%)
(9) Vinland 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Joseph O'Brien but shaped as if amiss on recent hurdles debut over C&D. Tongue tie off.
LTO Selection:
13:47 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Flash The Steel 6/1, Pulled up all 3 starts last season but fared better in first-time blinkers when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f) in May. Has won off a break before and holds good claims at these weights.
7
2nd (7) (1.75/1 +36%) Winterwatch
1.75
1.75/1(+36%)
(7) Winterwatch 1.75/1, Dual Flat winner who has found just one too good on his last 2 starts over hurdles, latest in a 2m maiden at Worcester last month. Much respected on his handicap debut.
2
3rd (2) (14/1 -40%) Abuffalosoldier
14
14/1(-40%)
(2) Abuffalosoldier 14/1, Scored on his hurdles bow at Wincanton (19.8f) in January but off the track since beating only one at Wetherby 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.
6
4th (6) (4/1 +43%) Small Bad Bob
4
4/1(+43%)
(6) Small Bad Bob 4/1, Bagged his third success of the campaign at Fontwell in February and got back on track when third of 4 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f) in April. This C&D winner is no forlorn hope on his seasonal return.
8
5th (8) (9/1 +25%) Seaborough
9
9/1(+25%)
(8) Seaborough 9/1, Deservedly scored at Uttoxeter (2½m) in September and posted another solid effort when third of 10 in handicap at Worcester (20f) 13 days ago. Considered despite being 5 lb out of the handicap.
5
6th (5) (8/1 +0%) Fugitives Drift
8
8/1(+0%)
(5) Fugitives Drift 8/1, Useful hurdler in 2020/21 but cheekpieces on for 1st time when below-par eighth of 12 in handicap at Cartmel (22.1f) 95 days ago. Subsequent wind op needs to spark a resurgence.
3
|F| (3) (7/1 -75%) In The Air
7
7/1(-75%)
(3) In The Air 7/1, Scored on his British debut at Newbury in March but only sixth in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree (17f) 6 months ago. Remains with potential now going handicapping so can't be dismissed.
4
|PU| (4) (14/1 -75%) Carolines Charm
14
14/1(-75%)
(4) Carolines Charm 14/1, Fairly useful winning chaser who returned with win in 3-runner handicap hurdle here (21.8f) in May. Not discounted despite his absence.
LTO Selection:
14:17 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Blaze A Trail 0.53/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and has been revitalised by current yard of late, completing 4-timer with another efficient display from the front over C&D last time. Five-timer is on the cards.
3
2nd (3) (2.25/1 +65%) En Coeur
2.25
2.25/1(+65%)
(3) En Coeur 2.25/1, Scored at Plumpton in January and, while below form last 2 starts, he's consistent in the main so he's likely to bounce back on return from a break.
4
3rd (4) (9/1 +25%) Uncle O
9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Uncle O 9/1, Poor chaser who is hard to fancy from out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Huelgoat 0.91/1, French bumper winner who failed to better modest form over hurdles but different proposition over fences, winning novice handicaps at Newton Abbot and here (19.5f) this autumn. Should be more to come so a 6 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick.
4
2nd (4) (1.25/1 +0%) Jeffery's Cross
1.25
1.25/1(+0%)
(4) Jeffery's Cross 1.25/1, Won a 21f Warwick maiden hurdle last March. First past the post back there 5 weeks later but disqualified after causing interference. Runner-up in a point at start of career. Interesting recruit to chasing after wind surgery.
2
3rd (2) (9/1 +0%) Family Business
9
9/1(+0%)
(2) Family Business 9/1, Justified support when making winning yard debut at Leicester in January but he's been well below that level in his 3 outings since.
LTO Selection:
15:25 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(15) What's My Line 12/1, Left previous efforts well behind when runner-up over C&D in May. Failed to fully back that up twice since, albeit he may have just needed the run last month.
13
2nd (13) (50/1 -25%) Telefina
50
50/1(-25%)
(13) Telefina 50/1, Poor Flat maiden has looked no better over hurdles.
10
3rd (10) (8.5/1 -13%) Alramz
8.5
8.5/1(-13%)
(10) Alramz 8.5/1, Stepped up on reappearance effort when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f) in July and another sound effort here the following month considering 17.7f was an insufficent test. Likely to give it a good go back up in trip.
6
4th (6) (7/1 -27%) Age Of Wisdom
7
7/1(-27%)
(6) Age Of Wisdom 7/1, Found only one too good twice here (25.7f) late last season and just failed over C&D when last seen in June. Repeat of that level will see him involved on first start since from 3 lb higher.
14
5th (14) (50/1 -52%) Hier Encore
50
50/1(-52%)
(14) Hier Encore 50/1, Course winner but it's now 16 runs since his last success in 2019 and no impact in 3 outings this term.
4
6th (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Mole Court
7.5
7.5/1(+6%)
(4) Mole Court 7.5/1, Down the field in bumper and shaped like a stayer in his qualifying runs this spring. Returns over a more suitable trip handicapping for yard in form so he warrants consideration.
8
7th (8) (4/1 -45%) If I Say
4
4/1(-45%)
(8) If I Say 4/1, Point winner who improved when second in a Hereford novice last November and landed a few bets on return when opening account at Worcester last month. Fit and in form so goes on the shortlist.
1
8th (1) (150/1 -838%) Lily's Gem
150
150/1(-838%)
(1) Lily's Gem 150/1, Has largely struggled in Ireland this year and no sign of an upturn in form both starts for this yard.
11
|F| (11) (4.5/1 +44%) Mise Raftaire
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(11) Mise Raftaire 4.5/1, Performed with credit on several occasions over hurdles for Anthony McCann in Ireland and stopped the slide for this yard when third of 8 in 19.2f handicap here 3 weeks ago. Did have the run of the race from the front on that occasion, though.
9
|U| (9) (9/1 -13%) Heron Creek
9
9/1(-13%)
(9) Heron Creek 9/1, Had wind op before opening his account in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow in April and wasn't discredited faced with a quick turnaround here 6 days later. Tame effort when last seen in April, though.
3
|U| (3) (10/1 +50%) Shinobi
10
10/1(+50%)
(3) Shinobi 10/1, Won handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.5f) last summer, but well held on his chase debut at Worcester next time and has struggled for form since. Lots to prove back from 3 months off.
2
|PU| (2) (6.5/1 +54%) Albert Van Ornum
6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(2) Albert Van Ornum 6.5/1, Fair winner on the Flat in France and clear signs of ability in juvenile/maiden hurdles before finishing third on handicap bow at Lingfield last November. However, pulled up both subsequent starts and now has a point to prove.
7
|PU| (7) (20/1 +50%) Shirocco's Delight
20
20/1(+50%)
(7) Shirocco's Delight 20/1, Modest hurdler in Ireland and not even at that level for current yard. Did at least see out this trip trying it for the first time when last seen in May.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -21%) Aikenbreakinheart
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Aikenbreakinheart 40/1, Showed ability in maiden hurdles in Ireland at up to 3m but unable to replicate that level in a trio of starts for last season. Had a wind op ahead of this reappearance.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(4) Blame The Game 1.5/1, Won over hurdles and fences at Plumpton in the spring. Off 5 months, respectable 10 lengths fourth in course handicap hurdle 18 days ago and it's possible he'll strip fitter with that behind him. Slightly lower mark back chasing.
2
2nd (2) (2.25/1 +32%) Premiumaccess
2.25
2.25/1(+32%)
(2) Premiumaccess 2.25/1, Wasn't at the top of his game when last seen in the spring but has dipped to 3 lb below the mark he won off at Huntingdon in late 2020 if a 161-day break has had a reviving effect.
1
3rd (1) (2/1 +0%) Eclair On Line
2
2/1(+0%)
(1) Eclair On Line 2/1, Winning pointer who took well to fences on hIs return from an absence last season, winning a 25f Hereford handicap under Lily Pinchin when last seen in April. 6 lb rise for that looks fair assuming he's ready to roll after a break.
3
|PU| (3) (18/1 +0%) Heydour
18
18/1(+0%)
(3) Heydour 18/1, Acquired by present connections for £15,000 in May and he ran to a fair level when second in a 3-runner C&D handicap in June. However, he has disapointed twice, including back here latterly.
LTO Selection:
16:35 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Leading Theatre 4/1, Dual bumper winner who overcame a pace bias to make second hurdle start a winning one at Ffos Las (15.8f) in May. Not disgraced in Uttoxeter follow-up bid but didn't get home upped to this trip on her Bangor handicap debut last time.
5
2nd (5) (8.5/1 +23%) Sadie Hill
8.5
8.5/1(+23%)
(5) Sadie Hill 8.5/1, Modest form at best in 3 hurdle starts for Katy Price but could do better now handicapping for new yard. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 +0%) Yvette Guilbert
4
4/1(+0%)
(4) Yvette Guilbert 4/1, Isn't living up to her useful pedigree, sweating and on edge prior to finishing third of 4 on her handicap debut/return at Warwick 20 days ago. Upped in trip fitted with a first-time tongue strap.
8
4th (8) (16/1 +20%) Shesupincourt
16
16/1(+20%)
(8) Shesupincourt 16/1, Looks pretty limited judged on what she's shown in 5 starts over hurdles. Easily passed over.
6
5th (6) (6/1 +29%) Blitz Spirit
6
6/1(+29%)
(6) Blitz Spirit 6/1, Fair performer on Flat in France and had been steadily going the right way over hurdles prior to her Newton Abbot handicap debut last time. Needs to get back on track.
2
6th (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Cherry Cola
2.75
2.75/1(+45%)
(2) Cherry Cola 2.75/1, Fair Flat performer who fared better than previously in this sphere when runner-up at Plumpton (20.5f) in September. Respected from 2 lb higher.
7
7th (7) (6/1 +50%) Brooklyn Belle
6
6/1(+50%)
(7) Brooklyn Belle 6/1, Ran about as well as could be expected from 5 lb out of the weights when third in 9-runner handicap (11/1) at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 19 days ago.

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.
