1st (10)  (10/1 -82%)Dr Shirocco |
10/1(-82%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dr Shirocco 10/1, Finally off the mark under Rules here (20f) in June and followed up over 2½m at Musselburgh (good to soft) 5 months later. Wasted no time getting back on track when second there 83 days ago, left with too much to do. Not discounted. Just two wins from 30 starts; neither were over this far but he stays okay. |
|||
2nd (6)  (13/2 -136%)Ballylinch |
13/2(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ballylinch 13/2, Winning pointer who made a successful chasing debut in handicap at Sedgefield (26.9f, soft) in October. Built on that at the fourth attempt when resuming winning ways at Fakenham and can progress further in this sphere. Made it 2-5 over fences when drawing clear at Fakenham two months ago over 3m on good. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/2 +68%)Zwicky |
9/2(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zwicky 9/2, Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Sedgefield and Carlisle in October. Held his form well after and now goes chasing. Three hurdle wins and brings momentum into chase career, but best form at shorter. |
|||
4th (11)  (14/1 +72%)West Lawn |
14/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) West Lawn 14/1, Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles here in 2022. Has looked very limited over fences, though, and he's a long way out of the weights. Latest run needs treating with a pinch of salt; on balance, others are safer. |
|||
5th (4)  (7/2 -86%)Whosmydaddy |
7/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Whosmydaddy 7/2, No significant impact in maiden/novice hurdles but proved a different proposition sent handicap chasing in headgear, winning over 3m at Musselburgh and Ayr. A further 7 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick. Unbeaten in the cheekpieces and it remains to be seen where this 6yo's limitations lie. |
|||
|F| (1)  (18/1 +45%)Dee Star |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dee Star 18/1, Won veterans' chase at Cartmel a year ago and another good effort there when runner-up in August. Well below par since, however. Not in the best of form right now and saves his best for Cartmel. |
|||
|U| (7)  (6/1 +40%)Poetry Man |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Poetry Man 6/1, Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles and offered little on first 2 starts in this sphere. However, took steps forward with cheekpieces when twiced placed at Newcastle. Unseated rider twelfth here since. Probably in fair form and not yet exposed, but he's unproven on good ground. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (6/1 +40%)Morozov Cocktail |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Morozov Cocktail 6/1, Not at his best in a winless 2022/23 season and, having attracted support was struggling when falling 3 out on return to action at Newcastle (23.4f) in November. Not disgraced after a further 4 months off when third of 5 over C&D since. Has a lot in his favour but needs to step up plenty on his last three efforts. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (12/1 +0%)Court Dreaming |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Court Dreaming 12/1, Mostly seen over hurdles nowadays best effort last season was when fourth in a chase at Carlisle in October. Now dipped below last winning mark so warrants respect. Good last run on ground too soft and in a better race; strongly considered off a good mark. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (16/1 -100%)Deep Charm |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Deep Charm 16/1, Did well last season, winning 3 times. Had one of his sloppier days at the office at Carlise final start but that was in a class 2. Can make presence felt. Should run better than last time in a higher grade; would prefer ground softer than good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WHOSMYDADDY arrives here on the back of two victories earlier in the year and a 7lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Ballylinch is an obvious threat to the selection following his success over this distance at Fakenham, while Dr Shirocco and Court Dreaming are others who make the shortlist.
WHOSMYDADDY has looked a natural switched to fences and he should take some stopping in his bid for the hat-trick. Ballylinch got back on track with positive tactics readopted when making all at Fakenham and rates the main threat.
Whosmydaddy and Ballylinch are improving chasers but COURT DREAMING returns from a break with a lot on his favour.

1st (5)  (7/2 -5%)Five Dollar Fine |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Five Dollar Fine 7/2, Has taken longer than expected to put it all together as a chaser but finally managed to get off the mark under a more patient ride when winning a 12-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. In the mix again from 9 lb higher mark. Did it well enough here (heavy) last time to earn a 9lb rise; drier ground should be fine. |
|||
2nd (2)  (3/1 +0%)Home Free |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Home Free 3/1, Landed the odds on his third start over hurdles in 3-runner novice at Lingfield (2m, heavy). Disappointed on handicap debut at Wincanton last month though very much the type to make a chaser. Maiden hurdle winner before disappointing on handicap debut; now goes chasing. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/2 +31%)Chase A Fortune |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chase A Fortune 9/2, Has the physique for chasing and bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt when making a successful debut in this sphere at Catterick, making most. Lasted a long time after forcing the pace when fifth of 10 at Carlisle (15.9f, heavy) 34 days ago last month and has good chance on form. Debut winner over fences; performed okay since without looking ahead of his mark. |
|||
4th (1)  (16/1 -256%)Aubis Walk |
16/1(-256%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aubis Walk 16/1, made excellent start over fences when winning handicap at Ayr (by 1½ lengths from Euchan Falls) in December. hasn't progressed since, though out of depth when well-beaten last of 5 to Apple Away in listed mares event at Perth on return from 4-month absence last time. Has not built on her chase debut win but this is more realistic than last time. |
|||
5th (4)  (9/2 +44%)Chapel Green |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chapel Green 9/2, Made winning chase debut over C&D in October and in first-time cheekpieces, got back on track to some extent when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, soft, 11/4) 62 days ago. Not discounted if able to build on that. Course winner in October off a similar mark and returning here should be a good thing. |
|||
6th (7)  (15/2 -150%)Take Centre Stage |
15/2(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Take Centre Stage 15/2, Far from straighforward but showed improved form after the application of a visor to win at Newcastle in February. Creditable effort there on next start and all but came down there when last seen, so isn't ruled out if putting his best foot forward. Favourite at Newcastle latest to defy a 4lb rise but he made a bad mistake four out. |
|||
7th (6)  (10/1 +50%)Backbyjet |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Backbyjet 10/1, Overcame inexperience when springing a 25/1 surprise in 19f Catterick novice hurdle on New Year's Day. Back on track at Southwell but offered little making chasing/handicap debut from 8 lb out of the weights at Kelso in March. Hurdle winner but his recent chase debut at Kelso didn't go well, as he dropped right out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HOME FREE did not appear to stay when stepped up to 2m4f over timber on his handicap debut at Wincanton, but his previous 14-length success at Lingfield means that he is worthy of another chance back down in trip on his chasing bow. Five Dollar Fine was an impressive winner over C&D recently and has to be of interest, despite a 9lb rise in the ratings. Others to note are Take Centre Stage and Backbyjet.
CHASE A FORTUNE has made a pleasing start to his chasing career and tied up only late after forcing the pace in testing conditions at Carlisle last time, so is fancied to build on that promising effort to notch a second win over fences. Five Dollar Fine is respected after his recent C&D win, whilst the quirky Take Centre Stage is worth treating as if still in form and shouldn't be ruled out.
All six can be given chances. FIVE DOLLAR FINE won here with lots in hand 19 days ago and he's taken to defy the 9lb rise.

1st (3)  (10/1 -43%)Dressedtoimpress |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dressedtoimpress 10/1, €5,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam runner-up sole start in Irish points. Made frame all 3 completed starts in points (latest Apr 27). Wears tongue strap. Not completely dismissed. Has about 6l to find with Toucan Sam on their recent point clash. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +50%)Toucan Sam |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Toucan Sam 4/1, Poor chaser. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in hunter chase at Kelso (23.4f, soft) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Just behind Amma Lord at Kelso before finishing third at Overton two weeks ago; vulnerable. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/4 -17%)Cool Desire |
7/4(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cool Desire 7/4, Scorpion gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Off The Hook. Multiple point winner, runner-up last time (May 5). Looks the most appealing in a thin race. Three point wins; collared by a respected rival at Dingley last week. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/2 -64%)Sponthus |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sponthus 9/2, Modest hurdler on balance and successful on last of 6 starts in points in April. Can make his presence felt starting out in hunters. Comfortably beat Slaney Opera in his latest point four weeks ago. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/1 -175%)Lucky Lucarno |
11/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lucky Lucarno 11/1, Not seen under Rules since 2019 but he's a winning pointer, including last time, so clearly retains ability. Up and down in points but won his latest last month when 2l too good. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (11/1 +31%)Slaney Opera |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Slaney Opera 11/1, Brother to poor hurdler Ez Tiger, and closely related to modest hurdler Barney From Tyanee. Maiden Irish pointer, unplaced last time (Apr 30). Others preferred. Maiden pointer; no match for Sponthus on penultimate start and was no better last time. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (17/2 +58%)Amma Lord |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Amma Lord 17/2, Fourth of 5 in a point prior to finishing fifth on hunter debut at Kelso last time. Much more required if he's to feature. Lowly rated and he was one-paced when beaten 7l in a point two weeks ago. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (50/1 -178%)Turnthelightsoff |
50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Turnthelightsoff 50/1, Little sign of ability in bumpers/over hurdles in Ireland and he's still a maiden between the flags. Looks up against it. Placed a few times in points but now 0-18 in that scene. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SPONTHUS readily accounted for Slaney Opera when winning between the flags a month ago and the nine-year-old merits plenty of respect on the back of that performance. Lucky Lucarno also was successful in a point-to-point last time and the veteran should not be discounted, while Cool Desire edges out Dressedtoimpress and Toucan Sam to be the pick of the remainder.
COOL DESIRE is a multiple point winner who arrives on the back of a solid effort in that sphere, so he's the obvious one to side without the benefit of market clues. Sponthus, successful between the flags last time, is the main threat and the veteran Lucky Lucarno can't be completely dismissed.
Preference is for COOL DESIRE who so nearly beat a very capable pointer last week at Dingley.

1st (1)  (14/1 +22%)Captain Zebo |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Zebo 14/1, Ended a losing run when scoring over 2m last June. Followed that with creditable placed efforts over this C&D and at Perth but he's entitled to need the run following 10 months off. In good form when last seen in July; might just need this after a good while out. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/2 +45%)Les's Legacy |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Les's Legacy 11/2, Three-time hurdle winner during 2022/23 campaign, including twice here. Rather in-and-out in recent months, though, and he's likely to find one or two too good. Fairly good runs the last twice and returning to a drier surface won't harm. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 -86%)I Am Max |
7/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) I Am Max 7/2, Well backed and justified support in fine style starting out in a bumper here last month. Followed-up on hurdles debut at Ayr (2m, heavy) and, with that form working out well (second and third both won next time out), he has to enter calculations give his scope for further improvement. Beat subsequent winners on his hurdling debut and may well turn out to be well handicapped. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/2 +31%)Halpha Soleil |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Halpha Soleil 11/2, Successful twice in French bumpers and came good over hurdles at Sedgefield (2½m, soft) on Boxing Day. Back on track following several lesser efforts when going close over this C&D last time and he has to enter calculations. Seemed to throw it away on run-in over C&D (heavy) latest after looking sure to collect. |
|||
5th (2)  (6/1 -33%)Imperial Data |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Data 6/1, Irish point winner who improved after undergoing a wind op last summer, winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso and back-to-back handicaps over this trip at Sedgefield. Further progress needed back from 6 months off but still has low mileage. Up the weights for winning his last three but he's open to further progress. |
|||
6th (9)  (7/1 +22%)Kiss My Face |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kiss My Face 7/1, Wasn't at his best on latest start in this sphere in February but he has made the frame on each of his 3 subsequent starts on the Flat. One to consider. Dual hurdle winner, at 2m5f and 3m; runner-up on the AW ten days ago. |
|||
7th (6)  (18/1 -80%)Indian Louis |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Indian Louis 18/1, Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m, soft) on New Year's Day. However, pulled up at Kelso last time and he's opposable back in this sphere. 0-3 over hurdles; has improved for going over fences without being consistent. |
|||
8th (10)  (18/1 -227%)Elleon |
18/1(-227%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Elleon 18/1, Arrives in good order, finally getting off the mark over fences at Haydock at the end of March. Backed that up when runner-up at Carlisle (24.5f, heavy) next time and he'll be a threat if able to continue the good work returned to this sphere. 0-8 as a hurdler but returns to this discipline after a solid sequence of runs over fences. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (7/1 +56%)Paddy O'mahler |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Paddy O'mahler 7/1, :Still looking for first success but took a small step forward when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) in March. Mark unchanged and he's not without each-way hope. Career best at Newcastle last time (2m4f) when third to a subsequent winner. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (20/1 +0%)Applaus |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Applaus 20/1, Untrustworthy individual who isn't getting any younger and has not been at his best of late. Others preferred. Seven wins include one here; long in the tooth now though and others are in better form. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (100/1 -203%)Snookered |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Snookered 100/1, Multiple scorer for Brian Ellison but out of form when last seen 15 months ago and is likely best watched on debut for new yard. Five hurdle wins but has regressed and left Brian Ellison. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 4lb rise for Imperial Data's latest success looks fair and he warrants respect bidding to complete the four-timer on his return, but preference is for the unexposed I AM MAX. He beat a decent field on his hurdling debut at Ayr (second and third both successful since) and could exploit an opening mark of 112, with stepping up half a mile unlikely to pose any problems. Les's Legacy and Paddy O'Mahler, who are closely matched on their Newcastle clash in March, also hold claims in a competitive event.
The unbeaten and unexposed I AM MAX should have more to offer now upped in trip for this handicap debut and he looks the way to go. Elleon has to be feared on the strength of his recent chase form and he is second choice ahead of Halpha Soleil and Paddy O'Mahler.
A good few have chances but I AM MAX (nap) is temptingly handicapped on his novice-winning form.

1st (3)  (4/11 +18%)Guard The Moon |
4/11(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Guard The Moon 4/11, Back-to-back wins in bumpers at Bangor in December and solid start over hurdles, matching previous best when runner-up in a Bangor maiden (19.5f) 7 weeks ago. Increase in trip promises to suit here and he should prove tough to beat. Something to prove on this surface but he sets the standard. |
|||
2nd (1)  (7/1 -100%)Boomslang |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boomslang 7/1, Fair hurdler but still a maiden and he was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) when last seen in December. However, freshened up since and pick of his form in this sphere gives him sound claims of being involved. Interesting on a couple of his efforts and seems to be suited by this drier ground. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/2 +45%)Didnt Ask |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Didnt Ask 11/2, Won the first of his 2 starts in points but hasn't cut a great deal of ice in 3 starts over hurdles, left in a remote second at the last when runner-up at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) in February. Longer trip may help now with a tongue strap added. Shouldn't be the answer at these weights unless transformed by first-time tongue-tie. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (25/1 -14%)Kian Calling |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kian Calling 25/1, Showed some promise in bumpers but yet to do the same over hurdles and much more needed returned to maiden company following an 83-day break. Lightly raced but lowly rated and up against it on these terms. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (40/1 -21%)Robert D'ores |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Robert D'ores 40/1, Shaped with definite promise over fences this time last year but little to shout about over hurdles either side of that and he's failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts over larger obstacles. Passed over returned to timber. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Five of his nine defeats under rules have been over fences; looks outclassed. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (50/1 -525%)Eastern Storm |
50/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eastern Storm 50/1, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 2 point winners. Dam (c80/h76) maiden hurdler/chaser. Likely outsider on Rules/hurdles debut. Sixth foal; half-brother to point winners Frankies Fire and Feel The Breeze. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dual bumper winner GUARD THE MOON has posted three solid placed efforts since switching to hurdles and connections will be very disappointed if he doesn't land the spoils in this contest. Boomslang comes out second-best on official ratings, but he has failed to complete the last twice and jumped badly right-handed at Doncaster, which would be an obvious concern around here. Therefore, Didnt Ask, equipped with a first-time tongue-tie, could be the value bet to chase home the selection.
GUARD THE MOON comfortably brings the most appealing profile to the table and, with the step up in trip promising to suit NIgel Twiston-Davies 6-y-o, he should prove tough to beat. Boomslang, back from a break, rates the chief danger.
There's no temptation to see past GUARD THE MOON who has the best form and might well improve for this longer trip.

Dam unraced half-sister to French hurdler (19f winner) Gaelic Joy. £27,000 3yo; fifth foal; half-sister to French 2m5f chase winner Andromeda; Hughes booked. |

2nd (1)  (40/1 -300%)Beau Della |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beau Della 40/1, Mild promise when fourth of 6 in bumper at Musselburgh last month, not ideally placed. Should have learned from that and stiffer track likely in her favour. Beaten 7l when fourth of six at Musselburgh (soft); stoutly bred and will need further. |
|||
3rd (9)  (12/1 +64%)Ava's Angel |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ava's Angel 12/1, Frontiersman filly. Dam unraced. Dam unraced, from family of high-class staying chaser L'Ami and useful staying chaser Kelami. Likely to need time. Second foal; unraced dam half-sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Jaxlight. |

28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Snapaudaciaheros 28/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Dam fairly useful 7f/1m winner who stayed 1½m. Worth monitoring in the betting. Flat-bred newcomer who isn't nailed on to see out this trip. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/2 +0%)Holly Bird |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Holly Bird 9/2, Mount Nelson filly who has shown promise to be placed on both outings to date, third at Sedgefield a couple of months ago. Probably needs to up her game somewhat if she's to open her account. Placed in both runs and she was ahead of a subsequent winner last time. |
|||
6th (2)  (16/5 -42%)Borna Gem |
16/5(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Borna Gem 16/5, €28,000 3-y-o, £15,000 5-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Ferdia and fair hurdler Bonarc. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Feb 18). Big player. Irish point win not strong form but she has joined a good yard for rules action. |
|||
7th (7)  (16/1 +20%)Nobody's Perfect |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nobody's Perfect 16/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points and showed something to work on when fourth at Plumpton on debut. More rquired if she's to make a serious impact. Held up in the first-time hood at Plumpton (good) and made up some good late ground. |
|||
8th (3)  (11/2 +15%)Ebselysees |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ebselysees 11/2, Well-related mare who showed plenty when fourth at Huntingdon on debut and should be able to feature heavily if she can build on that. Half-sister to five winners and finished a close fourth from off the pace at Huntingdon. |
|||
9th (4)  (4/1 -33%)Getaway Frankie |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Getaway Frankie 4/1, Getaway mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Grove Road. Of obvious interest on debut for a stable that does well in this sphere. 3,000euros foal; 2nd foal; half-sister to bumper and 2m4f/3m1f hurdle winner Grove Road. |
|||
10th (8)  (7/1 +0%)Squiggles |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Squiggles 7/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam, placed in point, out of useful 2m hurdle winner Lounaos. £45,000 buy after winning point in Ireland in January. Well worth considering. Bought for £45,000 in February after winning an Irish mares' maiden point. |
|||
11th (11)  (80/1 -142%)Royal Romance |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Royal Romance 80/1, Dartmouth filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Classic Tune. Dam (b93), lightly raced in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2¾m) Central House. £3,000 yearling; eighth foal; half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Classic Tune. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Holly Bird has posted solid efforts at Carlisle and Sedgefield and will likely give another good account, while Getaway Frankie is a half-sister to bumper/hurdles winner Grove Road and must enter calculations on debut. Point-to-point scorers Squiggles and Borna Gem add further spice to the race, but EBSELYSEES shades the verdict. There was much to like about her opening fourth at Huntingdon and she could make the necessary improvement.
GETAWAY FRANKIE is related to a bumper winner and represents a stable with a good record in bumpers, so she's marginally preferred to point winner Borna Gem, who has plenty of experience. Ebselysees is the pick of those with form in this sphere.
Sandy Thomson's HOLLY BIRD had a winner this week behind her when third at Sedgefield and she appeals most in an open bumper.

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.
