Races & Results Friday 28th January 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Dibble Decker 8/1, Won sole start in Irish points. Reasonable start under Rules, some promise in a Cheltenham bumper prior to finishing third in a Newcastle novice hurdle (20.3f) latest. Should improve.
10
2nd (10) (125/1 -150%) Morani Kali
125
125/1(-150%)
(10) Morani Kali 125/1, Caused a shock when off the mark on the level at Kempton (12f) in November and not disgraced twice thereafter. However, his previous exploits in juvenile hurdles don't inspire confidence ahead of this
4
3rd (4) (50/1 +24%) Gold Souk
50
50/1(+24%)
(4) Gold Souk 50/1, Fair on the Flat but only minor promise on second of 2 starts over hurdles at Fontwell (17.7f) on Boxing Day. Likely type for low-grade handicaps further down the line.
5
4th (5) (5.5/1 +8%) Kellahen
5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(5) Kellahen 5.5/1, Useful on Flat in Germany/France (stays 11f), winner twice in 2021. Acquired for €67,000 on back of final start in November and well worth a second look if market vibes are positive now hurdling.
1
5th (1) (1.75/1 +22%) Judicial Law
1.75
1.75/1(+22%)
(1) Judicial Law 1.75/1, Irish bumper winner who surpassed previous hurdles exploits for present yard when readily landing an Exeter novice (16.7f) 4 weeks ago. Looks a big player again under a penalty.
2
6th (2) (0.91/1 -10%) Captain Broomfield
0.91
0.91/1(-10%)
(2) Captain Broomfield 0.91/1, Brother to very smart chaser Captain Guinness. Bought for £65,000 after winning an Irish point and made an encouraging start over hurdles when second at Haydock (15.6f) 4 weeks ago. Should improve.
6
7th (6) (250/1 -150%) Lucky Bounce
250
250/1(-150%)
(6) Lucky Bounce 250/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Sent off at 100/1 and never a threat on Chepstow hurdles bow (2m) earlier this month. Rates a likely longer-term project on that evidence.
7
8th (7) (300/1 -200%) Time Please
300
300/1(-200%)
(7) Time Please 300/1, Successful sole start in points but fairly low-key start under Rules. last of 3 in a bumper during the spring and pulled up both starts over hurdles this winter. Can only be watched.
8
9th (8) (80/1 -60%) Twistedfirestarter
80
80/1(-60%)
(8) Twistedfirestarter 80/1, Modest form at best in a couple of bumper outings and not threatened either start in novice hurdles in recent weeks. Another likely to be seen to better effect in low-grade handicaps.
9
10th (9) (300/1 -500%) Sherella
300
300/1(-500%)
(9) Sherella 300/1, Related to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 2½m) Hi Tide. However, she's established as a poor maiden on Flat (stays 7f) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
LTO Selection:
12:25 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Shallow River 0.8/1, Bought for £66,000 from Margaret Mullins after encouraging start in Ireland, and off the mark at the second attempt for this yard at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Of obvious interest on hurdles bow.
10
2nd (10) (4/1 -129%) Big Boy Bobby
4
4/1(-129%)
(10) Big Boy Bobby 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Roger Charlton and made promising hurdling debut after 12 weeks off when runner-up at Hereford earlier this month, caught further back than ideal. Should improve. Big player.
8
3rd (8) (2.75/1 +45%) Wolfspear
2.75
2.75/1(+45%)
(8) Wolfspear 2.75/1, €110,000 Fame And Glory gelding who cosily landed a bumper. Offered something to work on hurdles bow last month but take a step forward from that at Taunton 3 weeks later. Solid place claims.
5
4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Kalinihta
10
10/1(-11%)
(5) Kalinihta 10/1, €3,000 Kalanisi gelding who made a successful debut in a Fontwell bumper back in April 2018. Clearly had his problems to not have been since so market can guide expectations
3
5th (3) (28/1 -133%) Daniel Deronda
28
28/1(-133%)
(3) Daniel Deronda 28/1, Fairly useful performer on the Flat for David O'Meara. Sold for £18,000 in December and worth a market check ahead of his hurdles debut. Hood replaces usual cheekpieces.
2
6th (2) (50/1 -150%) Charming Getaway
50
50/1(-150%)
(2) Charming Getaway 50/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler Westren Warrior and bumper winner Meep Meep. Hinted at ability in a bumper (well-backed) in December but well held on hurdles bow a month later. Step forward needed.
4
7th (4) (125/1 -279%) Half The Freedom
125
125/1(-279%)
(4) Half The Freedom 125/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdle so will need to take a big step forward to see him involved here.
1
8th (1) (150/1 -88%) Bells Of Stamford
150
150/1(-88%)
(1) Bells Of Stamford 150/1, Presenting gelding who didn't offer a great deal of encouragement when down the field in a bumper at Chepstow. Similar story on hurdles bow and looks one for later on.
7
9th (7) (300/1 -275%) Tilsworth Sammy
300
300/1(-275%)
(7) Tilsworth Sammy 300/1, Poor maiden handicapper on the Flat and makes minimal appeal on this switch to hurdling.
9
10th (9) (300/1 -275%) Pipers Dream
300
300/1(-275%)
(9) Pipers Dream 300/1, No show in bumper/pair of novice hurdles 9 months apart.
LTO Selection:
12:55 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Raffles Gitane 7/1, Won juvenile maiden at Hereford a year ago. Similar form next 3 starts, including when fourth on chase bow at Sedgefield on return. Disappointed here on Boxing Day and back down in trip now.
1
2nd (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Galop De Chasse
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(1) Galop De Chasse 3.33/1, Winning hurdler in France and won handicap chase at Lingfield on yard/bow return, forging clear after taking a while to hit top gear. Ran no sort of race at Chepstow since but worth another chance.
5
3rd (5) (1.88/1 -7%) Only Money
1.88
1.88/1(-7%)
(5) Only Money 1.88/1, Free-going sort who scored impressively over fences at Huntingdon (16.5f) in May. Back to that level when winning 5-runner handicap at Leicester 16 days ago, hold-up tactics back in use. Big player.
2
4th (2) (2.75/1 -22%) Royal Ruby
2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(2) Royal Ruby 2.75/1, Fair winning hurdler who defied an 18-month absence in some style on chase debut at Stratford in July. Mixed round of jumping when third there following month. Off since but can go well fresh.
3
5th (3) (9/1 +18%) Chaptal
9
9/1(+18%)
(3) Chaptal 9/1, Ex-French winning hurdler but went with little encouragement both starts for this yard. Headgear re-fitted.
4
|PU| (4) (40/1 -21%) Baracalu
40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Baracalu 40/1, Won twice at a lowly level over hurdles during 2019/20, but beaten a long way in a Wetherby handicap when last seen 23 months ago and probably best watched on this chase debut.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Storm Dennis 12/1, Fairly useful and progressive in bumpers. Best effort in novice hurdles when 7 lengths second of 18 at Wincanton last month but well held on handicap debut since and now goes up in trip.
1
2nd (1) (22/1 -38%) For Langy
22
22/1(-38%)
(1) For Langy 22/1, Ex-French Flat/hurdle winner who showed promise when third in a Taunton novice (19f) in January 2020. Understandably shaped as if needing first run since at Sandown in November. This will reveal more.
9
3rd (9) (2.75/1 +50%) Grand Lord
2.75
2.75/1(+50%)
(9) Grand Lord 2.75/1, Front runner who ran his best race yet when second in 20.7f Huntingdon handicap on Boxing Day, picked off late by one who came from much further back. Same mark here.
7
4th (7) (10/1 +29%) What A Glance
10
10/1(+29%)
(7) What A Glance 10/1, Successful debut for trainer at Worcester (20f) in November, albeit in a race that rather fell apart. Fair run up 8 lb at Southwell next time but disappointing at Ludlow and has had a wind op.
10
5th (10) (3.5/1 +0%) Legal Rights
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(10) Legal Rights 3.5/1, Well backed and opened hurdles account over 19.22f at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Found another jolt of improvement when following up under a penalty at Hereford and he has to be of serious interest.
11
6th (11) (150/1 -50%) Equus Millar
150
150/1(-50%)
(11) Equus Millar 150/1, Multiple hurdles winner who doubled chase tally at Haydock (2m) 13 months ago. Little promise all 3 starts for this yard, however.
2
7th (2) (4.5/1 +18%) Present Value
4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(2) Present Value 4.5/1, Cashed in on a falling mark at the first attempt for Jamie Snowden at Leicester in December. 5 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.
3
8th (3) (6/1 -33%) Sherborne
6
6/1(-33%)
(3) Sherborne 6/1, Modest form in bumpers but confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing big-field novice at Lingfield in November (2m). Off since but in good hands and bred to stay now handicapping.
8
9th (8) (10/1 -150%) Let's Have Another
10
10/1(-150%)
(8) Let's Have Another 10/1, Showed promise when third in sole bumper at Ffos Las in May and did likewise sent hurdling to end 2021. Very much shapes like this trip will suit on this quick switch to handicaps.
4
10th (4) (25/1 -108%) Irish Odyssey
25
25/1(-108%)
(4) Irish Odyssey 25/1, Bumper winner in 2018 though yet to win over hurdles, spurning what looked a great opening at Sedgefield in March (idled when left in front). This looks his trip on return to action.
6
11th (6) (66/1 -164%) Novis Adventus
66
66/1(-164%)
(6) Novis Adventus 66/1, Fairly useful 20f winner at his best. Didn't convince with finishing effort at Plumpton last month but a wind op subsequently may help in that regard.
LTO Selection:
14:00 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Pink Legend 6/1, Likeable chaser who made all at Ascot on her reappearance. Below that form both runs since when less forcefully ridden, but she's not discounted if getting to the front here.
2
2nd (2) (0.67/1 +0%) Vienna Court
0.67
0.67/1(+0%)
(2) Vienna Court 0.67/1, Has returned a much improved model this term, and really impressed when bagging 16-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f) 27 days ago. Hard to see her not completing her hat-trick here.
1
3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Maskada
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(1) Maskada 3.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who has taken her form up a notch over fences, landing 2m listed chase at Leicester 16 days ago by 1½l from Zambella. Up in trip and well in the mix.
4
4th (4) (9/1 +0%) Galice Macalo
9
9/1(+0%)
(4) Galice Macalo 9/1, Three-time 2m winner over hurdles last season. Yet to match that form on both starts in this sphere, too free when second of 7 in 2m novice at Hereford 24 days ago. More is required stepping in trip.
5
5th (5) (33/1 +0%) Schiaparannie
33
33/1(+0%)
(5) Schiaparannie 33/1, Got off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Southwell (3m) before good second in listed chase (33/1) at Doncaster (20.5f) 30 days ago. Faces a stiff task at these weights, however.
LTO Selection:
14:35 Huntingdon Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(9) Risk And Roll 33/1, Hunter chaser in more recent times, unseating rider at Aintree in April. Never a factor at Cheltenham later that month and was put firmly in his place returned to hurdling at Uttoxeter in October.
5
2nd (5) (2.25/1 +44%) Gazette Bourgeoise
2.25
2.25/1(+44%)
(5) Gazette Bourgeoise 2.25/1, Improved when opening her account in maiden company at Stratford (22f) on reappearance. Solid efforts under a penalty prior to resuming winning ways in a Hereford handicap. Should remain competitive.
3
3rd (3) (25/1 -79%) Who Dares Wins
25
25/1(-79%)
(3) Who Dares Wins 25/1, Fine dual-purpose performer but not the force of old on the Flat in 2021 and was below form back over hurdles after 4 months off at Doncaster in December. Up in trip.
6
4th (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Tip Top Cat
2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(6) Tip Top Cat 2.5/1, Really motoring now, completing the hat-trick in 11-runner handicap at Taunton (23.9f) 29 days ago, cosily. Limit may not yet have been reached.
1
5th (1) (18/1 -100%) Honest Vic
18
18/1(-100%)
(1) Honest Vic 18/1, Smart 3m winner over hurdles. Not quite at that level over fences and was pulled up in a handicap at Cheltenham last time, but he's respected now reverting to the smaller obstacles.
4
6th (4) (2.75/1 +0%) Bells Of Peterboro
2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(4) Bells Of Peterboro 2.75/1, Progressive type who took a big step forward form his reappearance when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f) 32 days ago, easing clear. Has to be taken seriously from 8 lb higher.
7
7th (7) (20/1 -122%) Varna Gold
20
20/1(-122%)
(7) Varna Gold 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler who had no chance at the weights when 21½ lengths fifth of 6 to Teahupoo in Grade 2 hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 30 days ago. Stamina to prove over this much longer trip.
8
8th (8) (18/1 +10%) Danny Whizzbang
18
18/1(+10%)
(8) Danny Whizzbang 18/1, Useful chaser at best but out of sorts for new yard this season. Back hurdling now off a reduced mark and has enough to prove.
2
|U| (2) (11/1 -22%) Mill Green
11
11/1(-22%)
(2) Mill Green 11/1, Useful hurdler who built on an encouraging chase debut when landing a 4-runner Ffos Las novice in May. 5 lengths down and held when falling 2 out at Worcester next time and now back over hurdles.
LTO Selection:
15:10 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Maliboo 6.5/1, Perth handicap hurdle winner over 2½m in April. Also a good third at Fakenham in October and better than the result when a remote fifth on his chase debut there on New Year's Day. Open to progress.
5
2nd (5) (8.5/1 -89%) Alright Chief
8.5
8.5/1(-89%)
(5) Alright Chief 8.5/1, Twice successful between the flags. Tongue tied first time, improved effort under Rules when landing C&D handicap on Boxing Day. That didn't take much winning so a 6 lb rise demands more.
4
3rd (4) (4.5/1 -157%) Queen Of The Court
4.5
4.5/1(-157%)
(4) Queen Of The Court 4.5/1, Winning pointer who struck at the second time of asking over fences when readily seeing off 10 rivals over 23f at Taunton 18 days ago. Even a 10 lb rise may not stop her.
6
4th (6) (3.5/1 +42%) Thundersockssundae
3.5
3.5/1(+42%)
(6) Thundersockssundae 3.5/1, Perhaps unsuited by very testing ground when pulled up at Wetherby on Boxing Day and placed in handicap hurdles prior to that. Contender if taking to fences for last year's winning yard. Tongue tied.
1
5th (1) (3.5/1 +42%) Cardboard Gangster
3.5
3.5/1(+42%)
(1) Cardboard Gangster 3.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser, although he wasn't at his best over fences at Worcester (23f) when last seen in November. The tongue tie he's worn on most starts is left off here.
3
6th (3) (6.5/1 -8%) The Wise Traveller
6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(3) The Wise Traveller 6.5/1, Modest form over hurdles but this former point winner has the potential for better now chasing for the first time. Interesting runner.
7
7th (7) (7/1 +68%) Realms Of Fire
7
7/1(+68%)
(7) Realms Of Fire 7/1, Poor hurdler but did open hs account at Southwell (3m) in May. Offered little switched to fences last 3 starts (remote third latest) and others are preferred again.
8
8th (8) (100/1 -100%) Overtougeorge
100
100/1(-100%)
(8) Overtougeorge 100/1, Little solid form. 4 lb out of handicap.
LTO Selection:
15:40 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) Western Zephyr 3.5/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (21f-23f winner) Topsham Belle. Easily won sole start in points (Dec 12). One to consider.
8
2nd (8) (5/1 +9%) Rambo T
5
5/1(+9%)
(8) Rambo T 5/1, In frame both starts in Irish point, then shaped well when a narrow third at Newbury on Rules bow 85 days ago. Another bold showing is expected.
7
3rd (7) (14/1 +0%) Imperial B G
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Imperial B G 14/1, Showed some ability at Southwell on debut but he's bred to peak over longer distances and jumps, so he's unlikely to score in this sphere.
3
4th (3) (28/1 -180%) Forest Jump
28
28/1(-180%)
(3) Forest Jump 28/1, Half-brother to a bumper winner and showed something to work on at Fontwell 118 days ago, so he's not a forlorn hope for all there's some improvement required.
1
5th (1) (7/1 +30%) Emotional Memories
7
7/1(+30%)
(1) Emotional Memories 7/1, €15,000 3-y-o, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Dam (c104/h107), maiden jumper (stayed 3m), half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Emotional Moment. Worth a market check.
2
6th (2) (9/1 -20%) Festive Glory
9
9/1(-20%)
(2) Festive Glory 9/1, Has a reasonable pedigree and caught the eye staying on from a long way back when fifth at Market Rasen on debut. Type to improve markedly for the experience, so could make his presence felt.
4
7th (4) (80/1 -220%) Herecomeshogan
80
80/1(-220%)
(4) Herecomeshogan 80/1, Bred to need time and, while he made a pleasing start at Worcester in May, he shaped as if amiss at the same track on his reappearance 100 days ago. Others preferred.
6
8th (6) (5.5/1 -57%) Hunting Brook
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(6) Hunting Brook 5.5/1, Well-bred sort in good hands and there was a good deal of encouragement to be gleaned from his fourth at Wincanton on debut. Worth chancing to open his account at the second attempt.
5
9th (5) (14/1 -155%) Hermes Le Gris
14
14/1(-155%)
(5) Hermes Le Gris 14/1, Bred to need further in time but showed up well when runner-up to a promising sort at Catterick on debut 70 days ago. He's likely to find at least one too good, however.
14
10th (14) (80/1 -142%) Boro Lass
80
80/1(-142%)
(14) Boro Lass 80/1, Sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Phoenix Dawn, but there wasn't enough encouragement (only hinted at ability) on debut at Newbury to make him a likely player in this.
11
11th (11) (7.5/1 +70%) Coolamaine Lad
7.5
7.5/1(+70%)
(11) Coolamaine Lad 7.5/1, €35,000 3-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2½m) Lough Derg Spirit. May well need more time.
12
12th (12) (8.5/1 -6%) Sarsen
8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(12) Sarsen 8.5/1, Noble Mission gelding who wasn't seen to best effect when a staying-on fourth at Market Rasen 104 days ago. More to come up in trip with a hood applied, so dangerous to dismiss.
10
13th (10) (200/1 -203%) Anita's Spirit
200
200/1(-203%)
(10) Anita's Spirit 200/1, Flat-bred mare who offered no encouragement when last of 5 in a C&D bumper a fortnight ago. Hard to fancy.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

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.
