1st (3)  (6/1 +20%)Captain Attridge |
6/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Attridge 6/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, running his best race when fifth of 12 on 2m Ludlow handicap debut (soft) in November. Off since. This sort of ground might suit better given his Flat background. Should be up to featuring off this mark if ready to go again after another absence. |
|||
2nd (4)  (11/10 +45%)Sanitiser |
11/10(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sanitiser 11/10, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat. Yet to strike over hurdles but has caught the eye when reaching the frame in 2m Kempton handicaps on his last 2 outings 5 months apart. Should be a matter of time before he's winning from this mark. Leading claims on his recent Kempton third, as long as he settles back in cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/2 -40%)Ellerton |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ellerton 7/2, Fairly useful Flat on the Flat in France for Tim Donworth. Has shown some aptitude for hurdling and this a lot more realistic than the Grade 2 juvenile he contested on his latest start in January. Should be up to making his presence felt from a hurdle mark in the 90s. Fairly useful on the Flat in France but nothing exciting over hurdles yet; this easier. |
|||
4th (5)  (25/1 -56%)Come To Pass |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Come To Pass 25/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) and similar form over hurdles. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Often pulls hard; was again keen when below market expectations back on the Flat recently. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -140%)Smurfette |
12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Smurfette 12/1, Placed in mares' bumper/novice hurdle but disappointing when sent off at only 7/2 in a 15-runner race on her Market Rasen handicap debut in April. Still early days for her top stable but hard to be confident about after last time. Said to have stopped quickly latest; that leaves her something to prove off the same mark. |
|||
6th (1)  (9/2 +40%)Easter Junction |
9/2(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Easter Junction 9/2, Placed on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and fair form when fourth in maidens on first 2 completed starts over hurdles. Looked unsuited by the step up to 19f when only sixth on Carlisle handicap debut in December. Off since (has had wind surgery) and retains potential as a lightly-raced sort. Evidently felt capable at this level; maybe wind surgery/drop in trip will do the trick. |
|||
7th (8)  (80/1 +0%)Always Force It |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Always Force It 80/1, Shaped well in pair of handicap hurdles for Gavin Cromwell in the autumn but no show for new yard this spring. Has something to prove. Has offered very little in two runs for this yard; would be a shock winner. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (100/1 +0%)Thorpeness |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thorpeness 100/1, Fair start over hurdles for Dan Skelton when placed in a couple of maidens last summer but struggled since, including both runs for this yard. Went backwards for Dan Skelton and offered little for his new yard last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The versatile SANITISER has shown promise in his previous starts over hurdles and is presented with a good opportunity to get off the mark on his seventh start in this discipline. A respectable third in a similar type of race at Kempton last month, the five-year-old can be a force in this company if he carries the momentum forward. Mambo Beat is dangerous to underestimate from the foot of the handicap, while Ellerton is another with a solid each-way chance dropping back down in class here.
SANITISER ran as if just needing it back from 5 months off at Kempton recently and can show his modest hurdle mark to be lenient this time. Ellerton is another who can be made to look well treated judged on Flat ability and is second choice ahead of Easter Junction.
There are risks involved with all nine but SANITISER is well treated if he settles early and gives himself the chance of seeing it out.

1st (4)  (11/10 +20%)Stay If U Want To |
11/10(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stay If U Want To 11/10, Fairly useful bumper winner and promise when runner-up both starts in maiden hurdles at up to 19.7f. Big player back down in trip. Looked to bump into one over further here last time; there won't be any excuses tonight. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 +0%)Dirty Den |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dirty Den 3/1, Fair bumper winner who was well beaten in the face of a very stiff task at Aintree on hurdles debut last month. Should make more of an impact at this level. Highly tried since joining this yard; will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
|||
3rd (7)  (25/1 -233%)Double Dragon |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Double Dragon 25/1, Shaped with promise when fourth in a C&D bumper on debut but went backwards at Newbury next time. Makes hurdle bow. Fair bumper debut here in December (behind Dirty Den) but went backwards from that latest. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/1 +50%)Home And Dry |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Home And Dry 7/1, Fair staying handicapper on Flat who left his hurdling debut behind when fifth of 13 in a C&D novice 23 days ago, albeit well positioned. Better effort at huge price over C&D last time and this is easier if anything; considered. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 +88%)My Friend Sean |
12/1(+88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) My Friend Sean 12/1, Poor form over hurdles, including in handicaps and is up against it on these terms. Turned over as favourite the past twice; more on his plate back into maiden company. |
|||
6th (8)  (8/1 -100%)Ikigai Star |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ikigai Star 8/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat, stays 1½m. Sold from Joseph Patrick O'Brien 25,000 gns and showed plenty of aptitude for hurdling when fourth of 8 in a juvenile at Fakenham (2m) 36 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Likely to improve. Entitled to have come on for last month's hurdling debut but does need to improve. |
|||
7th (3)  (50/1 -213%)Pub Crawl |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pub Crawl 50/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) but was tailed off on most recent outing and possibly best watched on hurdle debut. Regressive maiden on the Flat and needs to improve for the switch to hurdles. |
|||
8th (10)  (22/1 -10%)Auntie Maggie |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Auntie Maggie 22/1, €5,500 3-y-o, Pour Moi mare. Dam unraced. Third sole start in Irish points (Mar 3). Looked fine with 3m on heavy ground on her point debut; may want more of a test. |
|||
9th (11)  (300/1 -50%)Miss Arvico |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Miss Arvico 300/1, Has shown nothing both starts over hurdles. Huge prices for two runs last month, when achieving very little; remains best watched. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (33/1 -267%)Lunanera |
33/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lunanera 33/1, Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1¼m, respectable effort last time. Could have a say if taking to this new discipline. 1m Flat winner; stamina is a potential issue but Brian Hughes is a positive booking. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The consistent STAY IF U WANT TO has a good chance of building on a couple of second-placed finished over hurdles and, on the back of chasing home a progressive type over an extended 2m3f here in March, the son of Soldier Of Fortune looks well worth a try back down in trip. Ikigai Star showed promise on his hurdles bow at Fakenham last month and warrants a second look, while Pub Crawl and Lunanera represent notable yards on their first starts under NH Rules.
IKIGAI STAR shaped second best on his Fakenham hurdling debut last month and, with improvement on the cards, is selected to open his account at the second attempt in this sphere. Stay If U Want To has found only one too good on both his starts over hurdles and is an obvious threat back down in trip, while Dirty Den should make more of an impact in these much calmer waters.
Preference is for HOME AND DRY, who's generally done well since returning from a long absence, latterly in a stronger novice over C&D.

1st (10)  (16/5 +29%)Big Blue Moon |
16/5(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Big Blue Moon 16/5, Promising start in handicap hurdles last spring and left pair of tame efforts well behind when winning 8-runner Warwick handicap (19f) 12 days ago, well suited by return to less testing conditions. Claims from 4 lb higher if arriving in same form. Looked ahead of his mark when 2m3f winner latest; bold bid likely despite 4lb rise. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/1 -27%)Notnowlinda |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Notnowlinda 7/1, Runner-up twice over fences in the autumn and came good back hurdling under today's pilot here (2m, soft) in March. Did well to make the frame after an early error when fourth in stronger affair at Cheltenham since and respected again in this groove. In good form at 2m and 2m4f on last two starts; another solid show expected. |
|||
3rd (8)  (3/1 +45%)Soldierofthestorm |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Soldierofthestorm 3/1, Firmly back on track and justified good support in the process when landing a C&D handicap in February. Not disgraced faced with a stamina test when third at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in March and he's been given time ahead of this. Impressive C&D winner in February; tougher test next time; can be given another chance. |
|||
4th (2)  (12/1 -260%)My Chiquita |
12/1(-260%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) My Chiquita 12/1, Fair handicapper on Flat and winner of both starts over hurdles in October, namely a Sedgefield maiden and novice event at Wetherby (both at around this trip). Recent spin on the level will ensure that she's not found wanting fitness-wise and she's of interest now handicapping. Two Flat wins; wide-margin winner of both hurdles at 2m4f; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||
5th (9)  (9/2 +63%)Cabhfuilfungi |
9/2(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cabhfuilfungi 9/2, Fair form when landing a Southwell maiden (20.4f) last spring for Gary Hanmer and shaped up well on debut for present stable when 6 lengths second of 5 over extended 21f here 4 weeks ago. Ease back in trip will help on that evidence and he could have a bit more to offer. Looked promising when 2m4f maiden winner last May; can improve on recent 2nd for new yard. |
|||
6th (11)  (40/1 -60%)Just Go For It |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Just Go For It 40/1, At the veteran stage now but she was better than ever when landing 14-runner handicap at Taunton (19f, soft) in March. Good third at Wincanton later that month but never figured in face of stiffer task at Cheltenham (20.2f) 3 weeks ago. Easy 2m3f winner in March but a 10lb rise has made life hard for her since. |
|||
7th (1)  (25/1 -213%)Soldat Forte |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Soldat Forte 25/1, Fair form in bumpers and well prepared to make a successful hurdles debut at Southwell 12 months ago. Similar form equipped with a tongue tie when runner-up next 3 starts in novice company last summer but absent since so interesting what the market makes of him now handicapping. Good efforts in defeat at up to 2m4f since winning hurdle debut; off since July. |
|||
|F| (3)  (18/1 -100%)Sacchoandvanzetti |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sacchoandvanzetti 18/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for John Queally and made the frame on first 3 starts over hurdles upon joining Fergal O'Brien last summer. Lines up here fit from a couple of spins on the Flat and no reason why he won't give a good account back over hurdles. Two hurdle wins in Ireland in 2019; fair form for yard but below best on latest hurdle run. |
|||
|U| (4)  (11/1 -47%)Just Loose Change |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Loose Change 11/1, Dual winner in novice handicap hurdles last season and in good heart around the turn of the year, again strong at the finish when fourth at Taunton (19f) in January. Possible he could do better again, including when tackling further. Hurdle wins at 2m3f and 2m4f; back in form in midwinter; can be involved. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 +12%)Silver Shade |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Silver Shade 22/1, Dual Flat winner who made a good start over hurdles, winning 2 of his 4 starts in juvenile hurdles in 2022. Well held on handicap debut/final start that year and betting may bet guide as to expectations now starting out for new yard following 19 months off. Won 2 juvenile hurdles in early 2022; off since well held in October 2022; new yard. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (28/1 -75%)Throne Hall |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Throne Hall 28/1, Useful sort at his best on Flat and ran best race for some time in that sphere when a 10-length winner at Doncaster (11.9f) in March. Well held last of 3 at Pontefract subsequently and not the easiest to weigh up returned to this sphere. Wide-margin 1m4f winner in March; laboured after; should be well treated back hurdling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BIG BLUE MOON has a good chance to prove that his Warwick success was not a one-off performance and, with only slightly longer yardage and similar underfoot conditions forecast, a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent Tom Lacey's representative from following up. My Chiquita is an obvious threat back under this code and is likely to give a good account in her bid to extend her unbeaten record over hurdles, while Notnowlinda is also a big threat now she drops back down in class.
This looks competitive but MY CHIQUITA looked one to keep onside when winning a brace of maiden/novice hurdles late last year and, with a recent spin on the Flat likely to have put her spot on for this, she looks a live player on handicap debut. Cabhfuilfungi, Big Blue Moon and Notnowlinda are a trio of others with reasons to recommend them and head up the dangers.
This is open but CABHFUILFUNGI gets the vote back on more suitable ground after an encouraging debut for Kerry Lee.

1st (5)  (5/4 +29%)Cooleenymore |
5/4(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cooleenymore 5/4, Emphatic winner on second run over fences at Exeter (3m) last month and good second to unexposed one back over hurdles there 3 weeks ago, the pair clear. Strong stayer and big shout up 4 lb. Beat 2 finishers in 3m chase in April; bumped into one over hurdles since; up 4lb. |
|||
2nd (3)  (15/2 -50%)Mistral Nell |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mistral Nell 15/2, Got off the mark over hurdles in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (19f, good to soft) in December, digging deep. Shaped as if still in good form at Huntingdon next time, an exceptionally wide trip perhaps taking its toll late on. Upped markedly in trip back from 3 months off now. Back up 7lb for narrow 2m3f win in December and faded next time; new trip is a query. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 +42%)Mollie Brown |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mollie Brown 7/1, Well held in bumpers/completed starts over hurdles (off 4 months, had breathing operation prior to latest run in handicap). Improvement needed. Hinted at ability last spring; minor form on soft ground since but open to improvement. |
|||
4th (8)  (7/1 +65%)Joyful Kit |
7/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Joyful Kit 7/1, Long-standing maiden who typically gives her running. Likely to give it another good go while proving vulnerable. Placed on last 6 completions at 2m3f-3m1f but has yet to win; others more likely. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/2 -22%)Minniemum |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Minniemum 11/2, Free-goer who was a good second over 3m at Doncaster in December. Looked all set to go one better when unseating her rider at the last at Catterick following month but pulled up with a breathing problem at Southwell next time. Back from 3 months off now. Luckless unseat when clear 2 starts ago (3m1f, soft); pulled up since; could revive. |
|||
6th (7)  (16/1 -60%)Ellies Sister |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ellies Sister 16/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Little form over hurdles but from a good family and starts out in handicaps at a low level. Showed promise in a bumper; minor hurdle form so far but can do better now handicapping. |
|||
7th (2)  (11/1 -214%)Chatshow Host |
11/1(-214%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chatshow Host 11/1, Dual Irish point winner who will make up into a chaser. Fair form over hurdles and this sort of trip should suit on handicap debut. Won 2 Irish points; made progress over hurdles in Britain; better chance now handicapping. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (33/1 -175%)Tara Line |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tara Line 33/1, Irish points winner who landed weak 3-runner novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, 10/3) in November 2022. Pulled up at Wincanton (race run in thick fog) following month and absent since. Upped markedly in trip for handicap debut. Winning Irish pointer; won British/hurdle debut; off since late 2022; handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
COOLEENYMORE may not have been able to land the double at Exeter last month, but she has the potential to improve for going up in trip and looks the one to beat for a stable that has a good record here. A determined winner at Catterick on her penultimate start, Mistral Nell must enter calculations, along with Chatshow Host, who has been runner-up on two of her last three starts.
COOLEENYMORE continues in top form and can get off the mark over hurdles. Mistral Nell could be the main danger ahead of Chatshow Host and Ellies Sister.
Cooleenymore holds solid claims again but MOLLIE BROWN can fulfil the promise she showed in maiden company last spring.

1st (9)  (6/1 +20%)Can't Beat History |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Can't Beat History 6/1, Made second chase start a winning one at Market Rasen (21.4f) last summer, dominating. Excuses next 2 starts before resuming winning ways over C&D when last seen in October. Player if ready to go. Improver last autumn once switched to fences, latterly winning easily over C&D; player. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/1 +58%)Seigneur Des As |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Seigneur Des As 5/1, Won over fences at Ludlow (23.8f) for Milton Harris but lightly raced since. Better for belated return (for another yard) when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, good, 40/1) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly back over fences. Offered little in two runs over hurdles back from almost a year off, latterly for new yard. |
|||
3rd (6)  (3/1 +10%)Pilot Show |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pilot Show 3/1, In good form earlier last season, runner-up on 3 consecutive starts (at up to 26f). Pulled up next 2 outings but back to form when second under this rider over C&D last month. Respected. Two C&D seconds in recent times give him claims with any rain likely to work in his favour. |
|||
4th (1)  (17/2 -42%)Heaven Smart |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Heaven Smart 17/2, Proved a different proposition under new tactics and in a change of headgear when making all at Kempton (3m, soft) but well held when unseated rider at Newbury next time and got no further than the fourth at Chepstow since. Should be happier back round an easy, right-handed track having unseated the past twice. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/2 -22%)Off To A Flyer |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Off To A Flyer 11/2, Successful over hurdles at Ayr last spring but below that level switched to chasing on his last 4 starts, in first-time tongue strap (also had wind op) when fifth of 6 at Taunton last time. Wildly inconsistent, again running below market expectations back from wind surgery latest. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (9/1 -13%)Pottlerath |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pottlerath 9/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and sprouted wings over fences at the start of last summer, completing a hat-trick at Bangor. Winless since, however, and well held last 2 starts after 5 months off. Good record in the spring; out of form this time round but woulnd't rule out a revival. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (14/1 +65%)Family Pot |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Family Pot 14/1, Dual scorer (at up to 25.2f) at this course 15 month ago but has been more miss than hit since (well held last 3 starts). 9 lb out of weights. Hard to recommend on recent efforts running from 9lb out of the handicap. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (17/2 -143%)Gazette Bourgeoise |
17/2(-143%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gazette Bourgeoise 17/2, Yet to score in 8 starts over fences but probably should have won when beaten only a nose on return from 8 months off at Ffos Las (21.5f) in December. Excuses on her next 2 outings before unseated back over hurdles latest. Player back down in class. Lacks consistency but having the headgear back on for this return to fences should help. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (20/1 +0%)Brave Starlight |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Brave Starlight 20/1, Winning Irish pointer. Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in hunters but no show on hurdles debut and no better back chasing at Doncaster. Now returning from a further 6 months off. Irish point winner; has been off for six months since two poor efforts last autumn. |

|PU| (7)  (25/1 -178%)Dentley De Mee |
25/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dentley De Mee 25/1, Made a solid start for this yard when second on 3 consecutive occasions but below par last 2 starts 12 months apart. Entitled to need his March comeback following a year off; should do better tonight. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A slightly unlucky second over C&D last month when hampered by a faller two out, PILOT SHOW could be primed to strike for the first time since December 2022. Warren Greatrex's charge has been dropped another pound for that effort and that may be enough to see off the returning Can't Beat History, who could not have won an easier over C&D last October. Gazette Bourgeoise and Heaven Smart have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
CAN'T BEAT HISTORY resumed progress when scoring over C&D when last seen in October and should have a big say if tuned up. Pilot Show should be thereabouts again with Gazette Bourgeoise another to consider.
C&D winner CAN'T BEAT HISTORY (nap) can pick up where he left off last autumn and defy a 9lb rise. Pilot Show is second best.

1st (3)  (4/1 -14%)Jet Of Dreams |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jet Of Dreams 4/1, Point winner who has yet to strike under Rules but has performed with credit on several occasions. Looked rusty back from a break/first run following a wind op when chasing home wide-margin winner Texard at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) and he's one of the likelier winners. Irish point winner; yet to win under rules but some fair form; conditions suit; a possible. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/2 +58%)Famoso |
5/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Famoso 5/2, Consistent sort who notched third success over fences when scoring in good style over C&D in January. At least respectable efforts in defeat since and while he remains 6 lb above his last winning mark, this 8-y-o is likely to be on the premises once again. C&D winner off 6lb lower in January; fair form since; conditions suit; one with a chance. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4/1 -14%)Ferrybridge |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ferrybridge 4/1, A fair winning hurdler/chaser who was left clear at the last when opening his account in a handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good to soft) in March. Too free in the hands of an amateur back hurdling at Kempton next time but could be involved now returned to fences/reunited with Lilly Pinchin. Won at Huntingdon on third start over fences (Ferrbybridge 2nd); conditions suit; chance. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/2 -125%)Iorens |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iorens 9/2, Successful on sole outing in points but failed to build on a promising start over hurdles. However, bettered previous chase form by some way when 9½ lengths second to Ferrybridge at Huntingdon where she probably would've finished much closer but for a mistake 2 out. Shortlisted. Irish point winner; best run over fences when 2nd to Ferrybridge (4lb worse off) last time. |
|||
5th (6)  (66/1 +34%)Whyzzat |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whyzzat 66/1, Fair hurdles winner in Ireland in 2021 but hasn't shown much in 4 starts for present connections, including both attempts over fences. Sports cheekpieces for the first time over jumps here and first-time tongue strap also enlisted. Ex-Irish hurdle winner; not shown a great deal for this yard; cheekpieces now tried. |
|||
6th (9)  (66/1 +34%)Invincible Wish |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Invincible Wish 66/1, Veteran who went close off a 6 lb higher mark at Stratford in June 2022 but he hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts since returning from 18 months off in January. Flat winner; 0-16 over jumps although a couple of fair chase runs; others stronger. |
|||
7th (1)  (18/1 -64%)Ardmayle |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ardmayle 18/1, Won twice off higher marks in the early part of 2023, latterly over this C&D (good to soft). Best effort since when third in his bid to win the same race here last month but he was readily brushed aside by the first 2 and he's not the easiest to predict nowadays. Two wins in 2023, the 2nd over C&D; not so good since but better last time; could go well. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (10/1 -11%)Von Hallers |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Von Hallers 10/1, Winning Irish pointer but he yet to shine under Rules, failing to complete first 3 starts in mares' novice hurdles and the safely held when getting round in one at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) where she was equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Down in trip for this handicap/chase debut. Irish point winner in Jan 2023; poor over hurdles but may do better on h'cap/chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (15/2 +0%)Henri Le Bon |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Henri Le Bon 15/2, Fair hurdles winner who shaped with far greater promise than he did on his first 2 starts over fences when third in a 9-runner handicap chase at Stratford (17f, good) last May. Absent since but resumes on a 2 lb lower mark and could easily have a say if raring to go. Won handicap hurdle in 2022; best chase run when 3rd at Stratford last May; absent since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FERRYBRIDGE may have disappointed at Kempton last time out but he is best judged on his success two starts ago at Huntingdon when easily seeing off the reopposing Iorens (second), who is now 4lb better off. Lilly Pincin getting back on board should aid the six-year-old's cause and it may be that Jet Of Dreams gives him the most to think about on his second run back from wind surgery after an encouraging second at Market Rasen.
IORENS appeared to be travelling at least as well as eventual winner Ferrybridge when losing momentum with a second-last mistake at Huntingdon and, now 4 lb better off with that rival, she could be the answer. Jet of Dreams is entitled to come on for his Market Rasen spin and is feared most, while Famoso and Henri Le Bon are others to consider.
In an open handicap chase FERRYBRIDGE is taken to gain his second win over fences by confirming Huntingdon placings with Iorens.

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.
