The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Fiercely Proud 7/2, Won first 2 bumpers, including a listed contest at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Down the field in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and Grade 2 at Aintree subsequently but he retains potential now hurdling. Listed bumper winner; should be dangerous at this level on debut over hurdles.
3
2nd (3) (5/2 +38%) Court In The Act
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(3) Court In The Act 5/2, Progressed with each run in bumpers, running away with a weak event under a more positive ride after 5 months off at Fontwell (17.7f) 45 days ago. Must enter the reckoning on hurdle debut. Made all for 11l win at Fontwell on latest bumper start; major contender.
5
3rd (5) (12/1 -100%) Evenwood Sonofagun
12
12/1(-100%)
(5) Evenwood Sonofagun 12/1, Made the frame on plenty of occasions when trained in Ireland but wasted what looked a good opportunity at Worcester when last seen in June. Good chance on peak form but disappointing in both runs this year.
1
4th (1) (11/10 -38%) Adjuvant
1.1
11/10(-38%)
(1) Adjuvant 11/10, Useful Flat winner at up to 14f who shaped a lot better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling when fourth in 16-runner novice at Ludlow (15.8f) 26 days ago, just over a length down when all but came down last. Sure to improve. Useful handicapper on Flat; Ludlow hurdles effort can be marked up; respected.
10
5th (10) (200/1 -100%) Nimbus Boy
200
200/1(-100%)
(10) Nimbus Boy 200/1, Little sign of ability in maiden/handicap hurdles. Has left Paul Nolan Five duck eggs in Ireland; needs a transformation.
4
6th (4) (250/1 -279%) Crossbeau
250
250/1(-279%)
(4) Crossbeau 250/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, clipped heels and unseated rider in early stages last time. Poor maiden on Flat; likely to struggle.
14
7th (14) (250/1 -150%) Inchiquin Spirit
250
250/1(-150%)
(14) Inchiquin Spirit 250/1, Maiden Irish pointer who had a breathing problem when well held on last month's hurdling debut at Ludlow. Maiden pointer; never threatened on rules debut.
9
8th (9) (10/1 +0%) Mount Olympus
10
10/1(+0%)
(9) Mount Olympus 10/1, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Ile de Re. Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful 3 times this year, creditable third last time. Yard going well, so worth a second look on hurdle debut. Has done well on Flat for his major dual-purpose trainer this year; one to consider.
8
9th (8) (300/1 -809%) Mambo Beat
300
300/1(-809%)
(8) Mambo Beat 300/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m), had irregular heartbeat when well held last time. Sold from Clive Cox's yard for only 2,000 gns in October. Low-grade Flat winner for Clive Cox; has limited hurdles potential.
2
10th (2) (28/1 -180%) Blow Your Horn
28
28/1(-180%)
(2) Blow Your Horn 28/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m), recorded hat-trick earlier in year but down the field last 3 starts. Market can guide now switching to hurdling. Fairly useful on Flat; could be involved if he adapts well to hurdling.
11
|PU| (11) (250/1 -150%) Pearlymoon
250
250/1(-150%)
(11) Pearlymoon 250/1, Finished last of 10 in bumper at Worcester (16f, soft) on debut in May. Has since left John Groucott. Finished last in Worcester bumper for John Groucott.
13
|PU| (13) (250/1 -150%) Bob O Rhino
250
250/1(-150%)
(13) Bob O Rhino 250/1, Winning Irish pointer who was too free when well held in a Warwick bumper (16f, heavy) on NH debut 13 days ago. Good-ground Irish point winner; well held in soft-ground bumper this month.
12
|PU| (12) (300/1 -200%) Thatza Dazzler
300
300/1(-200%)
(12) Thatza Dazzler 300/1, Didn't show much in a couple of bumpers for Fergal O'Brien last term and a similar story both starts over hurdles for new yard. Has failed to progress; handicaps available shortly.
LTO Selection:
12:20 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ADJUVANT would have finished much closer on his NH debut but for sprawling at the final hurdle at Ludlow last month and this smart performer on the Flat may have learned enough from that experience to open his account in this sphere today. Although Listed bumper winner Fiercely Proud wasn't quite up to Graded level at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, Ben Pauling's inmate is one to note now tackling hurdles and he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Court In The Act.
Useful Flat winner ADJUVANT would've finished much closer on his Ludlow hurdle debut but for a significant late error, so he's very much fancied to build on that opening effort and make it second time lucky in this sphere. Court In The Act ran out with a Fontwell bumper on his debut for Harry Derham and must enter calculations, while others to consider are Fiercely Proud and Mount Olympus.
Interesting bumper winners COURT IN THE ACT and Fiercely Proud head the shortlist, ahead of Adjuvant.
(8) Mactavish 5/2, Finally off the mark when seeing off 8 rivals over C&D 4 weeks ago. Should remain very competitive after a 5 lb rise. Suited by switch to more positive tactics when winning over C&D last month; up 5lb.
1
2nd (1) (2/1 +56%) Bertie Wooster
2
2/1(+56%)
(1) Bertie Wooster 2/1, Placed in all 3 handicaps, including on 2m Wincanton reappearance 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Much respected for a yard enjoying a good spell. Placed in all three handicaps and likely to be right in the thick of things again.
10
3rd (10) (18/1 -29%) Blackacre
18
18/1(-29%)
(10) Blackacre 18/1, Third in a bumper in the spring. No impact in a trio of novice hurdles since but may fare better now handicapping. One to note in the betting. Showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice hurdles; handicap debut today.
4
4th (4) (10/3 -33%) State Legend
3.333333
10/3(-33%)
(4) State Legend 10/3, Fairly useful Flat winner who made a good start to his handicap hurdle career when only narrowly denied at Huntington (20.5f) 7 days ago. Obvious chance from the same mark. Fairly useful Flat racer; went close off this mark on handicap hurdle debut last week.
11
5th (11) (6/1 +57%) Let It Shine
6
6/1(+57%)
(11) Let It Shine 6/1, Reached the frame in a couple of handicaps this summer and wasn't entirely disgraced when fourth in a 6-runner Wincanton handicap (3m, good) last month. Dropping back in trip looks a good move. In the frame on three of last four outings but others here have more potential.
7
6th (7) (40/1 -60%) Hey Mister Dj
40
40/1(-60%)
(7) Hey Mister Dj 40/1, Poor form in bumper/completed starts over hurdles, including pulled up in a pair of Uttoxeter handicaps this season. A first-time tongue tie needs to make a big difference. Pulled up in first two handicaps; returns from break with tongue-tie on.
3
7th (3) (28/1 -180%) Trick Of The Tail
28
28/1(-180%)
(3) Trick Of The Tail 28/1, Modest maiden hurdler who was third on his 2m Bangor handicap debut in August. Bounced back from a poor run at Cartmel when fourth in Sedgefield maiden last month. Step up in trip needs to spark improvement. 0-8 over hurdles; ran okay last time but improvement needed over new trip today.
6
8th (6) (28/1 -75%) Yes And Yes
28
28/1(-75%)
(6) Yes And Yes 28/1, Placed in points. Only modest form in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles but latest Uttoxeter fourth was more encouraging and he's unexposed now handicapping back up in trip. Encouraging fourth in 2m maiden last month; open to more improvement in handicaps.
12
9th (12) (80/1 -60%) Spiritus Mundi
80
80/1(-60%)
(12) Spiritus Mundi 80/1, Maiden who did record one of his better efforts over hurdles when third over C&D a couple of years. Off since a poor run here in January and the likelihood is that wait for first win will go on. 17-maiden; not seen since struggling (albeit on soft ground) here in January.
9
|PU| (9) (28/1 -133%) Go On Ya Goodthing
28
28/1(-133%)
(9) Go On Ya Goodthing 28/1, Showed something more like his bumper debut form at the second time of asking over hurdles when runner-up at Worcester (2m) in September. Respectable fourth over 18.5f at Exeter since and this even longer trip could suit now handicapping. Made inauspicious hurdling debut but next two runs were quite promising; handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
12:55 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MACTAVISH gained a deserved career first success over C&D in late October and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not prevent Matt Sheppard's gelding from completing a double. State Legend found himself with a bit too much to do when runner-up at Huntingdon last Tuesday and he isn't taken lightly racing off the same mark in this contest. Horses from the Joe Tizzard stable have generally been improving for their reappearances, so Bertie Wooster so one to note on his second run of the season.
STATE LEGEND only just failed to get up from this mark at Huntingdon last week and is taken to go one better now. Bertie Wooster is taken to build on his reappearance run over a shorter trip at Wincanton and provide the chief threat ahead of Blazing Court and last month's C&D scorer Mactavish.
This can go to STATE LEGEND, who went close off this mark on his recent handicap debut and could still have a bigger run in him.
(4) Pedley Wood 5/2, His best effort over hurdles came here. Point win at the start of his career provides the hope for better now switching to fences for the first time on his reappearance (has had wind surgery). Also wears a first-time tongue tie. Point winner; best hurdles effort came at this venue; interesting on chase debut.
1
2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Abuffalosoldier
3
3/1(+25%)
(1) Abuffalosoldier 3/1, Won a 3m Newbury handicap hurdle last November but lost his way a little after finishing a good third at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. An inadequate trip does provide an excuse for his well-held fifth on last month's chase debut but he can't be supported with confidence. Won off this mark over hurdles at Newbury a year ago; second attempt over fences.
3
3rd (3) (2/1 -14%) Tedwin Hills
2
2/1(-14%)
(3) Tedwin Hills 2/1, Failed to win over hurdles but going the right way over fences, placed on first 2 attempts before scoring comfortably over 3m at Huntingdon 5 weeks ago. An 8 lb rise may not stop him with further progress on the cards. Chase form has substance; made all for 10l win at Huntingdon most recently; big player.
2
|PU| (2) (7/2 -133%) Jigginstown King
3.5
7/2(-133%)
(2) Jigginstown King 7/2, It's all clicked for him over fences since the spring, returning from a summer break (had wind surgery) to complete a hat-trick at Stratford 43 days ago. Only nudged up another 2 lb for that. Had little to spare at Stratford last time but still commands respect, being 3-3 this term.
LTO Selection:
13:30 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JIGGINSTOWN KING's desire to win has stood him in good stead, as seen when completing a hat-trick on his reappearance at Stratford last month. A further 2lb rise for that victory doesn't appear insurmountable and Oliver Signy's charge could be worth sticking with. Tedwin Hills proved a different proposition when making all at Huntingdon in October and the six-year-old rates an obvious threat. The downgraded Abuffalosoldier should have learned plenty from his chasing bow at Plumpton last time out and isn't dismissed either.
TEDWIN HILLS likely has even more to come over fences and can make light of an 8 lb rise for Huntingdon. Jigginstown King is the obvious threat as he goes for 4 in a row, although it will be interesting to see what the betting makes of the returning Pedley Wood, whose point win at the start of his career marks him down as a possible improver over fences for in-form Joe Tizzard.
Huntingdon scorer TEDWIN HILLS (nap) holds solid claims and is taken to defy an 8lb rise. Pedley Wood is second choice.
(9) Aston Martini 6/4, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 7-runner bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) in June and looks to have been found a good opportunity switched to hurdles. Recorded a 5l win in Southwell bumper, drawing nicely clear towards the line; respected.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 +27%) La Gomera
4
4/1(+27%)
(5) La Gomera 4/1, Successful on her sole outing in points and showed plenty to work on when runner-up on her Doncaster hurdling debut (19.4f). Has yet to back that up, though was given a considerate return at Stratford 19 days ago and may come on for that. Has shown her greatest promise on good ground; open to progress granted a sound surface.
7
3rd (7) (7/2 +50%) Realisation
3.5
7/2(+50%)
(7) Realisation 7/2, Picked up for £130,000 after finishing second on sole start between the flags and she did the job well when making a winning Rules debut in a bumper at Bangor. However, proved a let-down sent hurdling at Stratford a year later and now fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Seemed to need her reappearance run; big player judged on Bangor bumper win last autumn.
11
4th (11) (10/1 +17%) Mistral Milly
10
10/1(+17%)
(11) Mistral Milly 10/1, Out of a bumper winner and offered something to work on when fourth at Ascot on debut. Disappointed at Fakenham 8 weeks later and has since left Alan King. Had two starts in bumpers for Alan King, better effort when fourth at Ascot on debut.
1
5th (1) (150/1 -50%) Caught A Vibe
150
150/1(-50%)
(1) Caught A Vibe 150/1, Placed on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points but well held in a trio of novice hurdles. Has struggled in novice hurdles; handicaps more suitable shortly.
13
6th (13) (22/1 -83%) Tique
22
22/1(-83%)
(13) Tique 22/1, Bumper winner at the fourth attempt at Bangor in May who showed her first form (poor) in this sphere when fourth of 12 in a maiden at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Bumper winner; has not looked a natural over hurdles and needs to improve her jumping.
8
7th (8) (150/1 -127%) All Under Control
150
150/1(-127%)
(8) All Under Control 150/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Doctor Dex. Unplaced sole start in Irish points (Apr 8). Never landed a blow in Irish point.
12
8th (12) (7/1 +30%) Newmill Getaway
7
7/1(+30%)
(12) Newmill Getaway 7/1, Fair bumper winner who offered mild encouragement when runner-up in a novice at Exeter on hurdling debut in October. Not unduly punished when well held at Stratford subsequently so retains some potential. Well held on soft going last time; consistent form otherwise; may bounce back.
3
9th (3) (14/1 +13%) Emma Hamilton
14
14/1(+13%)
(3) Emma Hamilton 14/1, Showed something in a brace of bumpers but was well held on recent Ludlow hurdle debut. Good second to Tique in Bangor bumper; remote fourth at Ludlow switched to hurdles.
10
10th (10) (125/1 -150%) I Look How I Look
125
125/1(-150%)
(10) I Look How I Look 125/1, Sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Nube Negra but only poor form in bumpers/over hurdles so far. Has plenty to find on her 2m form.
2
11th (2) (50/1 -213%) Chantilly Haze
50
50/1(-213%)
(2) Chantilly Haze 50/1, Long-standing maiden who was pulled up at Newton Abbot when last seen in May. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Exposed mare whose record is 0-24; set for another supporting role.
6
12th (6) (33/1 -230%) Miss Ghillie
33
33/1(-230%)
(6) Miss Ghillie 33/1, Policy Maker mare. Closely related to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Charles Ritz. Failed to complete both starts in points in spring 2023. Failed to complete in British points, brought down latest; has a decent jumps pedigree.
4
13th (4) (150/1 -50%) Jaunty Belle
150
150/1(-50%)
(4) Jaunty Belle 150/1, Has shown nothing in 2 bumpers. Has dismal claims on her two bumper efforts.
LTO Selection:
14:05 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ASTON MARTINI justified strong market support when scoring with ease on her debut in a Southwell bumper in June and looks a nice prospect for Nicky Henderson. Being from the family of Grand National winner Rule The World, she should relish the step up in trip on her hurdling bow and is fancied to maintain her unbeaten record, possibly at the main expense of the more experienced La Gomera and Chantilly Haze.
ASTON MARTINI overcame inexperience to make a successful start to her career in a Southwell bumper in June and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up on her hurdle debut. La Gomera has been a bit disappointing since making an encouraging start over hurdles at Doncaster a year ago but is entitled to come on for a considerate reappearance, while Newmill Getaway remains capable of better in this sphere based on her bumper form.
Southwell bumper winner ASTON MARTINI is taken to follow up. Realisation is feared most.
(1) Norton Hill 10/3, Bumper winner for Jack Barber and has made the frame all 5 completed starts in this sphere, runner-up on first start following a wind op with blinkers enlisted (retained here) in a Ffos Las maiden (21.9f, good to soft) when last seen in April. More needed back in handicap company. Placed in four of his five completed starts over hurdles; clear second when last seen.
6
2nd (6) (7/2 -75%) Aldsworth
3.5
7/2(-75%)
(6) Aldsworth 7/2, Sold out of the Alan King yard for just £5,000 but well backed and in the process of showing improved form when falling 2 out on return/debut for new yard at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft). Likely to make a bold bid to atone for that here, provided his confidence hasn't been dented by that tumble. Looked the likely winner when falling two out at Huntingdon on debut for new yard.
2
3rd (2) (15/2 +0%) Kazontherazz
7.5
15/2(+0%)
(2) Kazontherazz 15/2, Remains 7 lb above the mark off which she last hit the target at Uttoxeter almost 2 years ago but largely creditable efforts since. Has undergone a wind op since latest start in August and she could have a part to play with the drying ground a plus. Weak finisher in both runs this year but had wind surgery since; may see this out better.
5
4th (5) (10/1 +17%) Dynamic Kate
10
10/1(+17%)
(5) Dynamic Kate 10/1, Back to best following another wind op when successful at Worcester (23f, good) in August and followed that with a string of respectable efforts. Good run of form came to a grinding halt at Market Rasen last week, though, and she's probably worth taking on. Yard also saddles Fred Bear. Going back up in grade is no help, having done all her winning in Class 5.
8
5th (8) (5/1 +23%) Fred Bear
5
5/1(+23%)
(8) Fred Bear 5/1, Sole success in this sphere was gained back in 2021 but 4-time winner on the Flat since (including twice this year) and performed with credit back hurdling when fourth of 12 over C&D recently, despite refusing to settle. Will be a threat if proving more tractable this time. Not disgraced over C&D last time but his effort rather petered out after pulling hard.
9
6th (9) (5/1 +17%) Sheila Nash
5
5/1(+17%)
(9) Sheila Nash 5/1, Successful twice at Worcester during summer of 2022 and posted her best effort since joining this yard when third in a 12-runner C&D event last time. Reproduction of that would put her in the picture. Ran respectably over C&D last time and remains on a workable mark; one to consider.
3
7th (3) (9/1 +10%) Sammylou
9
9/1(+10%)
(3) Sammylou 9/1, Had tumbled down the weights subsequent to latest success at Uttoxeter in July 2022 and produced her best effort since when third in a 7-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) last month. Down another 1 lb and he's one to consider. Veteran who showed clear signs of a return to form in C&D contest five weeks ago.
4
8th (4) (25/1 -213%) Bright Sunbird
25
25/1(-213%)
(4) Bright Sunbird 25/1, Regained the winning thread when accounting for 9 rivals at Stratford (26.4f, good to soft) during the summer. However, back up 5 lb and she'll need to produce a new personal-best in order to follow up here. Absent since winning in lower grade at Stratford four months ago; has never won when fresh.
7
9th (7) (80/1 -300%) Meranti
80
80/1(-300%)
(7) Meranti 80/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. Little to shout about in 2 appearances for new yard, though, and improvement needed now upped in trip for this handicap debut. May be capable of improvement now handicapping and upped in distance.
10
|PU| (10) (125/1 -25%) Kalibrate
125
125/1(-25%)
(10) Kalibrate 125/1, Offered little in bumpers/over hurdles to date and looks set for another struggle from a long way out of the weights now pitched into a handicap. No worthwhile form; 38lb out of weights on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Norton Hill is of interest stepping up in trip for his return to handicap company having run well when second in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in April, but the burden of top-weight may just be too much and the vote goes to ALDSWORTH. Robbie Llewellyn's charge looked to have the race in the bag when falling two out at Huntingdon 22 days ago and compensation could await with a clear round. Bright Sunbird and Sheila Nash are others to consider.
ALDSWORTH appeared to have matters under control when exiting at the second-last on his reappearance at Huntingdon and, granted a clear round here, compensation awaits. Next on the list is Fred Bear, who took a fierce hold when finishing a place adrift of the re-opposing Sheila Nash in a C&D handicap 15 days ago and will be a big threat if setting better this time. Sheila Nash is likely to be on the premises once again, while Sammylou is lurking on a dangerous mark and also enters calculations.
Granted a clear round, ALDSWORTH may well gain compensation for his unlucky reappearance. Norton Hill is second choice.
(3) Imac Wood 11/2, Dual chase winner in France early last year and seems to have turned a corner since a summer wind-op, building on placed effort over hurdles to win 9-runner handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) in August. Good second at Bangor since and he's a player again. Scored at Worcester in August and ran well in defeat off today's mark last month.
8
2nd (8) (5/1 +0%) Ballinoulart
5
5/1(+0%)
(8) Ballinoulart 5/1, Low-mileage sort who was third in a pair of 3m handicap chases in the spring. Decent second here (25f) on return 4 weeks ago and bold show likely back down in trip. Placed in all three chases, most recently when second here (3m1f) on seasonal debut.
6
3rd (6) (2/1 +60%) Benny Silver
2
2/1(+60%)
(6) Benny Silver 2/1, Promise in bumpers and improved when second in handicap hurdles both starts this season. Respected now going chasing. Runner-up in both handicap hurdles; has major role to play if he takes well to chasing.
10
4th (10) (11/1 +8%) King Of The Story
11
11/1(+8%)
(10) King Of The Story 11/1, Joined current yard in the summer and left his previous efforts well behind to land 2m5f Fontwell handicap chase. Decent second at Plumpton last month and excuses either side of that. Not taken lightly. Has rather mixed record this year but today's return to good ground ought to suit.
1
5th (1) (18/1 -80%) Vocito
18
18/1(-80%)
(1) Vocito 18/1, Flat winner though is a long-standing maiden over jumps. Latest second of 14 in novice chase at Thurles (18.3f, soft) 19 days ago was his best effort over fences and can make presence felt again back in a handicap. Stayed on for modest second in recent Thurles beginners' chase but has poor strike-rate.
12
6th (12) (33/1 +0%) Noah's Light
33
33/1(+0%)
(12) Noah's Light 33/1, Lightly-raced ex-Irish hurdles winner who has offered precious little for present connections, including over fences. Headgear applied. 6 lb out of handicap. Won over hurdles in Ireland in November 2021 but very disappointing for this stable since.
5
7th (5) (11/1 -69%) Kalpaga
11
11/1(-69%)
(5) Kalpaga 11/1, French import who was backed at big prices when cashing in on a reduced mark at Hereford (19.7f) in April. Close second at Ffos Las later that month and showed aptitude for chasing at Ludlow on return 26 days ago. Should come on for that. Course winner over hurdles in April and ran okay on recent seasonal/chase debut.
4
8th (4) (18/1 -140%) Dream Jet
18
18/1(-140%)
(4) Dream Jet 18/1, Placed in an Irish point and left his previous form under Rules behind when landing a Stratford maiden hurdle on second start for current yard in August. Lesser efforts both starts since, however, including on chase bow. Maiden hurdle winner in August but well beaten on recent chasing debut.
9
9th (9) (12/1 +14%) The Boat
12
12/1(+14%)
(9) The Boat 12/1, Did the job well when doubling his tally at Leicester (22.7f, good to firm) last winter, but it was all downhill thereafter and was given a considerate return from a 7-month break over an inadequate trip at Hereford 5 weeks ago. Needs to turn a corner but may be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces.
11
10th (11) (50/1 -52%) Beannaigh Do
50
50/1(-52%)
(11) Beannaigh Do 50/1, No show over hurdles but fared better when runner-up at Ffos Las on his chase bow last term. However, badly let down by his jumping on his next outing and offered little after 5 months off 5 weeks ago. 5 lb out of handicap. Soundly beaten last month, after a break, and 5lb wrong here.
7
11th (7) (13/2 -8%) Family Pot
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(7) Family Pot 13/2, Resumed from 6 months off with a solid third of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to firm). Might have found next run coming too soon so worth another chance with Harry Cobden taking over. Didn't fire last time but this dual course winner ran well here two starts ago; considered.
2
12th (2) (33/1 -230%) Billingsley
33
33/1(-230%)
(2) Billingsley 33/1, Back on scoreboard when taking 7-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Not in same form at Ffos Las following month and off since. Back up in trip. Not the force of old but returns from break on workable mark; a possible.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Imac Wood has taken a step back in the right direction on his last couple of outings over fences, winning at Worcester before filling the runner-up spot at Bangor, and the five-year-old boasts strong credentials once again. The vote, though, goes to KALPAGA, who shaped as if needing her first run over fences at Ludlow and she is expected to improve on this occasion. Benny Silver and Ballinoulart appeal most of the remainder.
FAMILY POT might have found his last run coming too soon so is worth another chance to build on his return back on his last winning mark. This does look competitive, though, with Imac Wood and Ballinoulart heading the dangers.
The suggestion is IMAC WOOD, who backed up his summer win with a good second at Bangor last month.
(10) Tap N Go Leo 8/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam (b73), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Spirit of Adjisa. Not discounted. 40,000euros 3yo; dam unplaced in bumpers, half-sister to two useful sorts; major stable.
12
2nd (12) (6/1 +25%) Wee Tony
6
6/1(+25%)
(12) Wee Tony 6/1, Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Black Op and showed something to work on when fourth at Uttoxeter a year ago. Not seen since but has some potential. Absent since showing promise at Uttoxeter over a year ago; nicely bred; should improve.
15
3rd (15) (13/2 -117%) Of Course You Can
6.5
13/2(-117%)
(15) Of Course You Can 13/2, Made a positive start when runner-up at Huntingdon. Disappointing at Musselburgh next time but likely to get back on track returning from 8 months off. Had wind surgery since last run; big player on Huntingdon debut form; remains of interest.
1
4th (1) (10/1 -25%) Dante's Inferno
10
10/1(-25%)
(1) Dante's Inferno 10/1, Out of a winning hurdler and made a solid start when second at Ludlow last month. Should build on that, so not without hope. Put in a strong finish and went down only narrowly at Ludlow; one of the main players.
7
5th (7) (22/1 -83%) King Roly
22
22/1(-83%)
(7) King Roly 22/1, Scorpion gelding. Dam (h108) bumper/3m hurdle winner. Worth a market check. Dam bumper/3m hurdle winner, half-sister to a Flat scorer; likely type on breeding.
6
6th (6) (125/1 -279%) Kingoftheswingerz
125
125/1(-279%)
(6) Kingoftheswingerz 125/1, Related to winners but didn't offer a great deal of encouragement at Warwick 6 months ago. Never dangerous at Warwick in May, having been friendless in the betting.
11
7th (11) (3/1 +63%) Walkingoneggshells
3
3/1(+63%)
(11) Walkingoneggshells 3/1, £17,000 4-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Feivel and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Kitty Galore. Dam unraced. Successful on last of 4 starts in Irish points (May 21). Comfortable success in Irish point six months ago; has two bumper winners in his pedigree.
3
8th (3) (40/1 -21%) Greenways
40
40/1(-21%)
(3) Greenways 40/1, €13,500 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Ally Cay. Dam unraced. Last of 3 finishers completed start in points, fell last next time (May 7). Disappointing favourite in two British points last spring; modest claims on form.
9
9th (9) (5/2 +17%) Rue St Denis
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(9) Rue St Denis 5/2, €75,000 3-y-o, Montmartre gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat abroad, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (2m winner) Zamdy Man. One to note on debut given pedigree/connections. 75,000euros 3yo; out of half-sister to two good performers; Ditcheat newcomer; respected.
4
10th (4) (18/1 +10%) Highly Recommended
18
18/1(+10%)
(4) Highly Recommended 18/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful winner up to 1½m winner Appointed. Not dismissed. 25,000euros 3yo; half-brother to two Flat winners; yard is 0-5 in bumpers this term.
14
11th (14) (22/1 -120%) Kattegat
22
22/1(-120%)
(14) Kattegat 22/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Half-sister to fairly useful chaser Midnight Chill and modest hurdler Aviewofthestars. Makes some appeal on paper. £15,000 3yo; related to jumps winners; major yard; heed the market signals.
13
12th (13) (80/1 -567%) Jiggaway
80
80/1(-567%)
(13) Jiggaway 80/1, Down the field at Stratford last month and a lot more required if she's to feature in this. Remote seventh at Stratford; needs a big step forward.
5
13th (5) (18/1 +10%) Jumpamidthestars
18
18/1(+10%)
(5) Jumpamidthestars 18/1, Feel Like Dancing gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Pop The Champagne, stays 19f, and Voltera. Wears tongue strap. Worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour. Siblings include bumper/hurdle winner Pop The Champagne; check the betting.
16
14th (16) (125/1 -25%) Olivia Kate
125
125/1(-25%)
(16) Olivia Kate 125/1, Showed nothing at Chepstow and looks firmly up against it again. Has a good pedigree but was soundly beaten at Chepstow.
8
15th (8) (80/1 -60%) Pearly King
80
80/1(-60%)
(8) Pearly King 80/1, Dartmouth gelding. Half-brother to a point bumper winner. Dam ran twice in bumpers. Not an obvious sort on paper. Half-brother to a point winner; dam well beaten in bumpers; market can guide.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RUE ST DENIS cost 75,000 euros at the Goffs Land Rover sale in June 2021 and has been brought along steadily by connections ahead of his racecourse bow. He is related to some useful jumpers, including Zamdy Man and Clyne, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him make a winning debut. Dante's Inferno finished second at Ludlow first time out and is respected along with Of Course You Can, who arrives following a wind operation.
RUE ST DENIS is from a good family and represents a top stable, so he's worth chancing first time out. Of Course You Can is a danger based on her debut form and Walkingoneggshells is worthy of consideration after winning an Irish point.
Another chance is given to OF COURSE YOU CAN, with Dante's Inferno second choice. Rue St Denis looks the pick of the newcomers.

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.
