---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (1.75/1 +56%) Bingoo |
1.75/1(+56%) | (1) Bingoo 1.75/1, Won 2 of his 4 starts this season, finding a little more improvement when taking 4-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 27 days ago. More on plate now but should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 -75%) Bella Bliss |
7/1(-75%) | (4) Bella Bliss 7/1, Won a couple of hurdles on good ground last summer and shaped better than distance beaten when seventh in handicap at Downpatrick (18.8f, heavy) 22 days ago. One to take seriously. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (28/1 -75%) Harper Valley |
28/1(-75%) | (5) Harper Valley 28/1, Posted promising fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely to improve and could be a player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Eclair D'Ainay |
1.5/1(+0%) | (3) Eclair D'Ainay 1.5/1, Useful chaser who was below form in that sphere at Chepstow 14 days ago. Had easily taken a 3-runner novice over hurdles at Market Rasen previously, though, and must enter calculations back over the smaller obstacles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (125/1 -89%) Hostile Hotelier |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Hostile Hotelier 125/1, Finished well held in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Up against it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (40/1 -60%) Izzy Bell |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Izzy Bell 40/1, Offered more than previously when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good) 16 days ago. Each-way claims if able to build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -12%) Henry Gray |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Henry Gray 28/1, Showed more than on debut when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, soft, 18/1) in December but looks one for handicaps down the line. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (20/1 +20%) You Some Girl |
20/1(+20%) | (11) You Some Girl 20/1, Fair bumper performer who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 13 in Wetherby novice (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. However, percentage call is to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 +0%) Navigate West |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Navigate West 50/1, Hinted at ability on the first of 2 outings in bumpers and been a similar story in a couple of runs over timber. Probably won't be of interest until sent handicapping, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (7/1 -75%) Rock Hurley |
7/1(-75%) | (2) Rock Hurley 7/1, Dual winner in France but somewhat disappointing on UK debut in Bangor handicap hurdle 30 days ago. Still warrants plenty of respect here, however. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (250/1 -150%) Mister Smarty |
250/1(-150%) | (8) Mister Smarty 250/1, Well held in a couple of bumpers and can only be watched on first crack at hurdling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, 4/1 (1) BINGOO is most likely to do well as they have won 2 out of 4 starts this season and showed improvement in their last race. 4/1 (4) BELLA BLISS is also mentioned as one to take seriously after shaping well in their last race, but it is not clear if they have the same consistency as 4/1 (1) BINGOO. The other horses either have limited success or have not shown enough in their recent races.
A return to hurdles can do the trick for ECLAIR D'AINAY, having won easily on his most recent start in this sphere at Market Rasen. Conditions look to be in his favour and he can see off the likes of Irish raider Bella Bliss and Rock Hurley, who is bound to improve on his first run for new connections last month. C&D winner Bingoo can also have a say in proceedings.
Slight preference is for BELLA BLISS, who was far from disgraced in testing ground last time and should find conditions more in her favour here. Eclair d'Ainay and Rock Hurley may provide the chief threat.
Smart chaser ECLAIR D'AINAY was an easy winner over hurdles on his penultimate run and is a major player back in this sphere.

1st (11) (4.5/1 +18%) Cudgel |
4.5/1(+18%) | (11) Cudgel 4.5/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark to garner his fifth win here in 7-runner handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 25 days ago, digging deep. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Up 4 lb but still not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3/1 +57%) Fourth Of July |
3/1(+57%) | (8) Fourth Of July 3/1, It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2021 but he recorded a very good third of 6 in handicap chase at Newcastle (16.3f, firm) 67 days ago. Enters calculations eased 1 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (18/1 +45%) Choix Des Armes |
18/1(+45%) | (16) Choix Des Armes 18/1, Arrives below par, well-beaten fourth to Cudgel over C&D 25 days ago. A sketchy jumper too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (9/1 +18%) Ensel Du Perche |
9/1(+18%) | (12) Ensel Du Perche 9/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Unseated rider 7th in handicap chase here when last seen out 6 months ago. Others are more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (10/1 +38%) Bandit D'Ainay |
10/1(+38%) | (15) Bandit D'Ainay 10/1, Four-time winner over fences in France but only poor nowadays, third of 7 to Cudgel in handicap chase over C&D 25 days ago. Visor on 1st time. This veteran needs to back it up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Patagonia |
4.5/1(+10%) | (1) Patagonia 4.5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who posted a very good second on yard debut in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Has more to offer so a bold showing is on the cards nudged up only 1 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 +52%) Follow Your Fire |
12/1(+52%) | (6) Follow Your Fire 12/1, C&D winner but he beat only one after 5 months off in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back down in trip with work to do. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (6.5/1 -8%) Going Mobile |
6.5/1(-8%) | (4) Going Mobile 6.5/1, Bagged his third success this season in 2m handicap chase at Carlisle 29 days ago, digging deep. This C&D winner can make his presence felt once more despite taking a 3 lb rise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/1 +31%) Ashjan |
11/1(+31%) | (9) Ashjan 11/1, Won 3 times last spring and he got back on track when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to back it up now returned to fences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (20/1 -82%) War At Sea |
20/1(-82%) | (14) War At Sea 20/1, Fair maiden chaser but he has has his fitness to prove on his comeback run after 20 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (125/1 -89%) Kingofthecotswolds |
125/1(-89%) | (5) Kingofthecotswolds 125/1, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2019 and he was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 36 days ago. Switches to fences with lots more required. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
6/1 (4) GOING MOBILE is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has already won three times this season and performed well in a 2m handicap chase at Carlisle just 29 days ago. Despite a slight 3 lb rise in weight, the horse has proven to be a C&D winner and can make its presence felt again.
A determined winner at Carlisle on his most recent start, GOING MOBILE can follow up off a 3lb higher mark at a track he has an excellent record at. The selection had Ensel Du Perche (second) behind when scoring over C&D last September, so the main dangers this time might be the veteran Cudgel and the unexposed Patagonia, who went close at Wetherby last month.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Gary Hanmer's new recruit PATAGONIA looks the way to go nudged up only 1lb for his very good Wetherby runner-up effort last month. Cudgel is always to be much respected round here and is next on the list ahead of another C&D scorer Going Mobile.
The vote goes to Gary Hanmer's unexposed chaser PATAGONIA, who rallied well to go very close at Wetherby on his return from a layoff.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (6.5/1 +80%) Eagle Of The Glen |
6.5/1(+80%) | (5) Eagle Of The Glen 6.5/1, Has shown a bit in junior bumper/similar races over hurdles, no match for Bois Guillbert at Wetherby 68 days ago. Hard to fancy here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Tintintin |
2.25/1(+18%) | (2) Tintintin 2.25/1, Left clear when making winning hurdles debut at Ffos Las in October but improved in defeat twice since, chasing home promising winner conceding 14 lb to her at Market Rasen last month. Conditional takes off 5 lb here and solid claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Bois Guillbert |
2.5/1(+9%) | (1) Bois Guillbert 2.5/1, Has looked a jumper with a bright future as he's won both his starts in similar races, defying a penalty with something in hand at Wetherby 10 weeks ago. More to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (8.5/1 -183%) Joker Du Chenet |
8.5/1(-183%) | (8) Joker Du Chenet 8.5/1, Some appeal on paper but was in the process of running to only a modest level when departing 3 out (held at the time) on recent hurdles debut at Wetherby. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 +12%) Greenhill Gardens |
22/1(+12%) | (6) Greenhill Gardens 22/1, Better effort on second start in bumpers at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. Bred to be a stayer and likely to need more time now jumping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (9/1 +10%) Prontoanita |
9/1(+10%) | (10) Prontoanita 9/1, From a good family and made a promising start in junior bumpers in November. One to note now hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 +24%) Clovis Boy |
25/1(+24%) | (4) Clovis Boy 25/1, Tongue tied and just minor promise both starts over hurdles, shaping like a stayer. Bois Guillbert much stronger here for yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (12/1 +25%) Petite Souris |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Petite Souris 12/1, Shaped better than first time up over hurdles after a wind op at Market Rasen last month but again didn't see her race out as expected. Tongue tie might help now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (16/1 -60%) Jersay Du Trottet |
16/1(-60%) | (7) Jersay Du Trottet 16/1, Went without the tongue strap worn in France and was some way below the form he'd seemed to show on hurdling debut at Pau 3 months earlier starting out for this yard at Newcastle last month. Might be one for handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary provided, it seems that 2.75/1 (1) BOIS GUILLBERT has the strongest chance of doing well as he has won both his starts in similar races and defied a penalty with ease. The other horses have either shown some promise, but have not consistently performed well, or are still relatively inexperienced in hurdling.
BOIS GUILLBERT continues to go from strength to strength and even with a 10lb penalty, he may still have enough to land the hat-trick for his in-form connections. Joker Du Chenet was still going well when falling three out at Wetherby on debut, while Tintintin has made a good start to his career in this sphere and could be due a change in luck.
BOIS GUILLBERT looks a jumper to follow for the Grand National-winning yard and can defy a double penalty to remain unbeaten over hurdles. Tintintin is the clear danger, with Prontoanita one to note on her hurdles debut after a couple of encouraging efforts in bumpers.
In tricky race a chance is taken on the ex-French JERSAY DU TROTTET, who should improve on his third at Newcastle last time.

1st (15) (8/1 +71%) Gibberwell |
8/1(+71%) | (15) Gibberwell 8/1, Won a maiden hurdle in Ireland in autumn 2020 but more bad efforts than good ones to his name on this side of the Irish Sea. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (6.5/1 +28%) Ex S'Elance |
6.5/1(+28%) | (8) Ex S'Elance 6.5/1, Returned from successful spell in points with a win over 2½m here last month. Struck again at Newcastle recently and while he's yet to score over this trip under Rules, the 9-y-o has to enter calculations having gone up just 1 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7.5/1 +0%) Event Of Sivola |
7.5/1(+0%) | (4) Event Of Sivola 7.5/1, Won over 4m at Hexham in November. By no means disgraced when fifth in a 15-runner handicap over this trip in first-time blinkers at Wetherby last time but ideally served by a stiffer test nowadays. Visor refitted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 +33%) Eveque |
8/1(+33%) | (9) Eveque 8/1, Good efforts on his first 2 start over fences last season but it's been downhill pretty much all the way since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Henry Brown |
7.5/1(+25%) | (10) Henry Brown 7.5/1, Suited by way race developed when finally off the mark over this C&D in September. Good third at Sedgefield recently (shaped better than the distance beaten) and possibilities off 1 lb lower back here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (22/1 -193%) Sir Apollo |
22/1(-193%) | (2) Sir Apollo 22/1, Both career wins have been registered at Sedgefield, the latest in first-time blinkers over 27f in February. However, didn't get very far at Fakenham a fortnight ago and possibly a shade too high in the weights. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (66/1 -32%) Along Long Story |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Along Long Story 66/1, Maiden hunter winner at Thurles (25f) last March for Sean Aherne but has shown nothing in 3 starts for new yard this season. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor (tried in cheekpieces last time) doing the trick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (4.5/1 +31%) Gipsy Lee Rose |
4.5/1(+31%) | (6) Gipsy Lee Rose 4.5/1, Did the job well when landing this race 12 months ago. That's her sole taste of success from 21 starts in this sphere but she may well make a bold bid to repeat the dose off a 6 lb lower mark this time round. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (66/1 +0%) Calypso Storm |
66/1(+0%) | (13) Calypso Storm 66/1, Winner between the flags in November 2021 but, with the exception of his debut third in a bumper way back in 2015, he hasn't shown much in 7 starts under Rules. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (8.5/1 +6%) Lights Are Green |
8.5/1(+6%) | (7) Lights Are Green 8.5/1, Point winner who hasn't made much of an impact in a trio of maiden hurdles to date. Sent chasing for this handicap debut and moving up in trip will probably help, so he's worth a second look. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (14) (25/1 +62%) Square Viviani |
25/1(+62%) | (14) Square Viviani 25/1, Hit the target twice in 2019/20, including over this C&D, but he was well beaten on latest start under Rules in a handicap hurdle last February. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (7/1 -40%) Morozov Cocktail |
7/1(-40%) | (1) Morozov Cocktail 7/1, Just respectable efforts at best in defeat this season but dangerous to discount, given that he's now 6 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Newton Abbot last spring. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (10/1 +17%) To The Limit |
10/1(+17%) | (12) To The Limit 10/1, Both career victories gained at Kelso, the latest when bagging 4-runner handicap chase (23.4f) in January. However, not at his best in 4 subsequent starts and others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (18/1 +10%) Castlegrange |
18/1(+10%) | (11) Castlegrange 18/1, Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who continues to fall in the weights for current yard without looking like taking advantage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (80/1 -100%) Deerfoot |
80/1(-100%) | (16) Deerfoot 80/1, Bit and pieces of fair form to his name but record over jumps stands at 0-22 and others are more convincing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
9/1 (8) EX S'ELANCE and 10/1 (10) HENRY BROWN are the top contenders in this race based on their recent form and suitability for the conditions. Both horses have won their last starts and have previously performed well over the distance. Maid of Houxty and 6.5/1 (6) GIPSY LEE ROSE may also have each-way hopes.
Ex S'elance is likely to be popular after notching a brace of wins since mid-March and can go close if his stamina holds out over this longer trip, while Maid Of Houxty is respected after a game success at Newcastle last month. However, preference is for GIPSY LEE ROSE, who won last year's renewal of this race off a 6lb higher mark and has a live chance of following up on these terms.
GIPSY LEE ROSE has failed to threaten so far this season but may well again come good in this race, which she won off a 6 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Morozov Cocktail is capable of a bold show, while Ex S'Elance and Maid of Houxty both merit respect. However, point-winner Lights Are Green can be expected raise his game now upped in trip for this chase/handicap debut and he is second choice.
The vote goes to the lightly raced 8yo MAID OF HOUXTY (nap), who got off the mark when beating a clear second at Newcastle last month.

1st (15) (20/1 -11%) Noble Affair |
20/1(-11%) | (15) Noble Affair 20/1, Signs of ability in novice company and left previous efforts in handicap company behind when just touched off at Carlisle (17f) in March. Added to a patchy record when well held at Kelso since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Moonlight Glory |
5.5/1(+31%) | (5) Moonlight Glory 5.5/1, Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and gained a deserved first success for this yard in 2m Newcastle handicap in Feburary. Respectable second over this trip there since. Likely to be on the premises again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (22/1 +33%) Balkalin |
22/1(+33%) | (4) Balkalin 22/1, Opened his account at the thirteenth attempt as a hurdler in 6-runner Kelso novice (2m) in October. Below-form sixth in a 21f handicap there when last seen in November. Watching brief is the percentage call after 170 days off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6.5/1 +13%) Hattons Gardens |
6.5/1(+13%) | (9) Hattons Gardens 6.5/1, Showed ability in maiden/novices and posted creditable fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January. Disappointing favourite at Newcastle since but it is still very early days. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5.5/1 +39%) Five Dollar Fine |
5.5/1(+39%) | (2) Five Dollar Fine 5.5/1, Winning pointer who ran poorly in his first handicap hurdle but got back on track when fifth of 11 in 17f Carlisle handicap 16 days ago. The reopposing Burrows Hall was 8¼ lengths ahead of him on that occasion but the step back up in trip should suit. Less exposed than a lot of these. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 -33%) Halpha Soleil |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Halpha Soleil 16/1, Successful twice in French bumpers (tongue tied second time). Has shown ability in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles since joining this yard and he has unexposed potential now handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (50/1 -150%) Jimmy Rabbitte |
50/1(-150%) | (11) Jimmy Rabbitte 50/1, Better known as a chaser nowadays and it's hard to be too encouraged by his 2 efforts back hurdling last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (2.25/1 +25%) Burrows Hall |
2.25/1(+25%) | (10) Burrows Hall 2.25/1, Built on earlier promise when cosy winner of a 17f Carlisle handicap 16 days ago. Faded into fourth on his previous attempt at this trip but a 6 lb rise looks very manageable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (6.5/1 -63%) Maughold Head |
6.5/1(-63%) | (8) Maughold Head 6.5/1, Promise when placed in a pair of 2m Ayr novice hurdles before Christmas. Disappointing on Newcastle handicap debut on Boxing Day but subsequently had wind surgery and it's still very early days for this son of Fame And Glory. Hughes up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (12/1 +40%) Hungry Tiger |
12/1(+40%) | (14) Hungry Tiger 12/1, A few creditable efforts this term but latest Kelso run wasn't one of them. Bounce back is needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (25/1 -79%) Exit To Where |
25/1(-79%) | (7) Exit To Where 25/1, Back to winning ways in a Kelso handicap chase last spring but running no more than respectably when last seen in the autumn. This is his first hurdle start since 2019. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (33/1 -50%) Global Agreement |
33/1(-50%) | (13) Global Agreement 33/1, Won 3 times last season and proved that plenty of ability remains after 7 months off when runner-up at Exeter in January. However, commensurate with his patchy record he has failed to reproduce that form since. Cheekpieces off, first-time tongue tie on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (33/1 -18%) Brian's Jet |
33/1(-18%) | (12) Brian's Jet 33/1, Modest form in bumpers and was allowed a soft lead when third of 4 in novice hurdle at Newcastle in December. Pulled up twice since, including on Carlisle handicap debut 36 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (40/1 -100%) For Jim |
40/1(-100%) | (1) For Jim 40/1, Won at Uttoxeter off 5 lb higher in June. Failed to fire when last seen in the autumn but nicely handicapped if staging a revival after a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (50/1 -317%) Longstone Cowboy |
50/1(-317%) | (3) Longstone Cowboy 50/1, Little impact between the flags but promise over hurdles, including second in C&D maiden in September. Off 7 months, fell 4 out in Sedgefield novice 10 days ago, too far out to predict what would have happened. Handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
8/1 (5) MOONLIGHT GLORY is likely to do well based on the summary, as they have twice won over hurdles in Ireland and gained a win in a Newcastle handicap in February. They also had a respectable second over the same trip at Newcastle recently.
Sue Smith sent out the winner of this race last year and has another fancied contender in the shape of BURROWS HALL, who registered a comfortable success at Carlisle 16 days ago and could be hard to beat despite a 6lb higher mark. The gelding has bags of scope to improve over this trip and could be too progressive for the likes of Moonlight Glory and Halpha Soleil, who are suggested as the pick of the opposition.
Although BURROWS HALL failed to see it out on his previous attempt at this trip connections are clearly happy to give it another go and he's likely still well treated on the back of a 6 lb rise for his quite comfortable Carlisle success. Moonlight Glory has a win and 2 seconds to show for her last 3 outings over hurdles and should make her presence felt again. Maughold Head and Hattons Gardens need to shrug off tame efforts last time but had shown promise prior to that and remain unexposed.
The progressive BURROWS HALL\o is taken to follow up his Carlisle win with \bLongstone Cowboy likely to prove his main threat.

1st (2) (2.5/1 +17%) Firak |
2.5/1(+17%) | (2) Firak 2.5/1, Winning hurdler for Dan Skelton and, having tasted success between the flags, made a winning return to Rules in a 7-runner hunter at Warwick. Not disgraced at Fakenham subsequently and should be on the premises again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (1.75/1 -7%) Drop Flight |
1.75/1(-7%) | (6) Drop Flight 1.75/1, Fair winning chaser in France. Has returned with a trio of placed efforts in hunters for this yard and faced a stiff task at Aintree 11 days ago. Likely to be back on his game. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 +20%) Late Romantic |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Late Romantic 8/1, Useful chaser at best who wasn't disgraced when well backed for hunter debut. Went backwards from that effort at Carlisle since, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +40%) Billy Bronco |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Billy Bronco 3/1, First from points, first Rules outing since leaving Dr Richard Newland when won 11-runner hunter chase at Carlisle (24.5f, soft, 22/1) 36 days ago, finding extra. Should go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (40/1 -150%) Cooking Fat |
40/1(-150%) | (3) Cooking Fat 40/1, Multiple point winner but returned to Rules with a poor effort at Musselburgh 54 days ago. Ran out on latest outing between the flags and others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (22/1 +12%) Tokaramore |
22/1(+12%) | (9) Tokaramore 22/1, Modest chaser for Iain Jardine and pulled up in a point on debut for current yard. Plenty to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (28/1 -155%) Cuneo |
28/1(-155%) | (5) Cuneo 28/1, Unreliable under Rules and, while he arrives on the back of success between the flags, he's hard to support with any great confidence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (33/1 -65%) Cooldine Bog |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Cooldine Bog 33/1, Modest chaser (trained by Fergal O'Brien for the most part) who was well held between the flags recently and looks set for another struggle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (33/1 +0%) Tanora |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Tanora 33/1, Winning pointer who was second last time, but her Rules form is uninspiring. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there is limited information on their current form and abilities. However, 3/1 (2) FIRAK seems to have a good track record and has recently made a winning return to Rules, suggesting they may perform well in the upcoming race. 5/1 (1) BILLY BRONCO also had a successful first Rules outing and may be worth considering.
DROP FLIGHT failed to get involved in a much deeper contest at Aintree earlier this month and a considerable drop in class can see him bounce back here. He kept on strongly to secure a good second over an extended 2m7f at Newbury on his penultimate run, but Billy Bronco can give him plenty to think about with his latest success in mind. Firak completes the shortlist.
DROP FLIGHT showed fairly useful form when runner-up a couple of times earlier in the year and he was out of his depth last time, so he's worth a chance to get the better of Firak, who also merits plenty of respect. Recent Carlisle scorer Billy Bronco is also considered.
This should be a good opportunity for DROP FLIGHT who holds standout claims on this year's best hunter chase form.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (7/1 +36%) Boldog |
7/1(+36%) | (5) Boldog 7/1, Still in need of experience but left debut effort well behind fitted with a tongue strap when fifth in Navan bumper. Not disgraced at Wetherby next time but could do with settling better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/1 -20%) Chance The Robin |
9/1(-20%) | (1) Chance The Robin 9/1, Runner-up on sole start in points and build on encouraging Rules debut when landing a 5-runner event over C&D last month. More to come and must be considered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (9/1 +44%) President Scottie |
9/1(+44%) | (10) President Scottie 9/1, Has shown ability on first two starts, keeping on well when third to Rob Roy MacGregor at Carlisle on latest. Better off with that rival now, and might improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7.5/1 +6%) Parade Away |
7.5/1(+6%) | (9) Parade Away 7.5/1, €48,000 3-y-o, £80,000 5-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam (c104/h104) 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Dec 2022). Notable Rules newcomer for yard that does well in this sphere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Paddy O'mahler |
6.5/1(+7%) | (8) Paddy O'mahler 6.5/1, Mahler gelding who produced a promising debut effort and backed it up with a good second at Wetherby recently. Likely to give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (16/1 +0%) River Of Joy |
16/1(+0%) | (11) River Of Joy 16/1, Stayed on to lead close home on Chepstow debut but was out of her depth at Aintree next time. Off a year since, so must have had a few issues. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (6/1 +0%) Rob Roy Macgregor |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Rob Roy Macgregor 6/1, Related to a couple of winners and made the ideal start when scoring at Carlisle in March. Open to improvement and worth chancing to maintain his unbeaten record. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (100/1 -52%) Moro Rock |
100/1(-52%) | (7) Moro Rock 100/1, Remote third of 8 in bumper at Doncaster and fared no better at Market Rasen since. Set for another struggle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (20/1 -25%) Beep Beep Burrow |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Beep Beep Burrow 20/1, Started to get the hang of things late in the day when fifth of 13 in a Doncaster bumper on debut, then lost action at same course a couple of months ago. Remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (14/1 +58%) Judicial Review |
14/1(+58%) | (2) Judicial Review 14/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and justified strong support in 7-runner bumper at Sedgefield in December. Not disgraced subsequently but has improvement to find. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (3.5/1 -75%) Ismael |
3.5/1(-75%) | (6) Ismael 3.5/1, €38,000 3-y-o, £130,000 5-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam 17f/2½m chase winner in France. Easy winner sole start in Irish points (Jan 29). Interesting recruit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (80/1 -60%) Araglen Star |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Araglen Star 80/1, Signs of ability both starts to date but needs to up her game if she's to feature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (100/1 -52%) Swedish Icon |
100/1(-52%) | (13) Swedish Icon 100/1, Half-brother to 6 winners but not enough encouragement on debut to think he can make an impact in this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (125/1 -56%) Saint Percy |
125/1(-56%) | (12) Saint Percy 125/1, Sir Percy gelding. Dam 6f winner at 2 yrs. Not an obvious sort on paper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (10/1 +50%) Touch Of A Dragon |
10/1(+50%) | (15) Touch Of A Dragon 10/1, Has offered something to work on when third on both starts to date. Improvement would put him right in the mix, so can't be ruled out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary alone. However, some horses that seem to have potential include 3.5/1 (6) ISMAEL, 6/1 (9) PARADE AWAY, 7.5/1 (1) CHANCE THE ROBIN, 8/1 (8) PADDY O'MAHLER, 14/1 (10) PRESIDENT SCOTTIE, and 33/1 (4) BEEP BEEP BURROW, as they have either won or placed in their previous races and have shown signs of improvement. More information such as their form and recent performances will be needed to make a more accurate prediction.
A case can be made for several of these, but ISMAEL bolted up in a point-to-point in January and commands respect on his Rules debut with that in mind. The booking of Brian Hughes is interesting and the gelded son of Coastal Path should not be taken lightly. Chance The Robin scored over C&D last month and is feared most, while Rob Roy Macgregor is another of interest.
ROB ROY MACGREGOR was strong in the market and looked above average when making a successful start at Carlisle, so he's worth a chance to follow up for all that this is a stronger contest. Boldog is an obvious danger and Ismael looks an interesting recruit from points.
An interesting race in which impressive Irish point winner ISMAEL gets the vote ahead of Boldog.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
