Races & Results Thursday 6th February 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Tramuntana 15/8, Perfect start in 3-runner newcomers' bumper at Fakenham (2m, soft) last winter. Brought along steadily in trio of novice/maiden hurdles at around 2m this winter and he's another who appeals as the type to do better now handicapping over this longer trip. One to note. Safely held in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles but open to improvement in handicaps.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +11%) Jack The Savage
4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Jack The Savage 4/1, Course winner who ran best race for some time having attracted support when second at Hereford (19.7f) in November. Cheekpieces on 1st time, again ran respectably when fourth of 6 in handicap over extended 20f trip here a month later and he's worth a second look. Slightly disappointing here last time but his Hereford second in November reads well.
7
3rd (7) (14/1 +13%) Ray's The One
14
14/1(+13%)
(7) Ray's The One 14/1, Showed a bit more than he has for a while when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f) in November and subsequent run there a month later easily overlooked given he faced a stiff task from out of the weights. This more suitable back down in trip. Ran well for a long way two starts ago but this regressive 8yo has an unappealing profile.
6
4th (6) (10/1 +50%) Jassur Des Brosses
10
10/1(+50%)
(6) Jassur Des Brosses 10/1, 6-y-o who stepped up on his stable debut effort in June when fourth of 10 in handicap at Stratford (22f) a month later. Most disappointing when well beaten back at that venue in August and he needs to bounce back returning from a 5-month break. Unplaced all seven hurdling starts and absent since tailed off at Stratford last summer.
3
5th (3) (10/1 -67%) Rocket Rufus
10
10/1(-67%)
(3) Rocket Rufus 10/1, Has been brought along steadily, outpaced early in the straight when sixth of 8 on qualifying run in Wetherby novice (2m) 2 months ago. Step back up in trip will suit now handicapping and he's the type his yard do well with. Market confidence behind him would look significant. Showed nothing more than minor promise in his qualifying races but is very unexposed.
8
6th (8) (6/1 +14%) Rhodia
6
6/1(+14%)
(8) Rhodia 6/1, Still a maiden but posted a solid third on the back of 8 months off at Market Rasen (20.6f) in December. Got no further than the first at Doncaster (19.4f) 2 weeks ago and he's certainly not without each-way claims from his basement mark. 0-11 over hurdles but ran well when third at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; shortlisted.
1
7th (1) (9/2 -50%) Sangiovese
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(1) Sangiovese 9/2, Won a novice handicap hurdle this time last year and runner-up next 2 starts, albeit not looking the most enthusiastic, including with blinkers fitted (discarded here) at Fontwell (19.2f) in March. Still, he's lightly raced though, and not discounted on return to action. Quirky customer who tends to race lazily; in good form when last seen in early 2024.
9
8th (9) (150/1 -200%) The Last Melon
150
150/1(-200%)
(9) The Last Melon 150/1, Veteran who remains winless following 26 starts overall (Flat and jumps). Off for the best part of 4 years before offering little both starts this winter. Hard to fancy. Teenager with 0-26 strike-rate under all codes; can't be recommended here.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -233%) Dance In The Park
40
40/1(-233%)
(5) Dance In The Park 40/1, Posted good second (with hood on) in a Fontwell bumper on NH debut in September 2023. Lightly raced and only minor promise on first of 3 qualifying hurdle runs, going backwards from reappearance when pulled up at Lingfield (19.5f) in December. Hood refitted for handicap debut. Third in modest maiden on hurdle debut but well beaten twice since; handicap debut.
12:40 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This isn't a deep contest and the vote goes to TRAMUNTANA. The Fakenham bumper winner has largely struggled over hurdles so far, but he is bred to be better than a mark of 94 so, stepped up in distance and tried in a handicap for the first time, it would come as no surprise to see him find the necessary improvement. Fellow handicap debutant Rocket Rufus warrants closer inspection too, as does Sangiovese, who returns following a 325-day absence.
Support for one of the handicap newcomers would look significant, but previous course winner JACK THE SAVAGE has fallen to a workable mark and could be worth chancing after a break/partnered by Freddie Gingell. The returning Sangiovese didn't entirely convince with his application towards the end of last term but he remains lightly raced and can't be discounted. Rocket Rufus and Tramuntana are a couple of the aforementioned handicap debutants to note.
The suggestion is TRAMUNTANA, who moves up in trip for today's handicap debut and has scope for improvement.
(5) Ginger Jonny 4/1, This point winner hasn't cut much ice under Rules so far but no surprise if he took a significant step forward now chasing back from a breathing operation. May improve for this switch to chasing (point winner); interesting contender.
1
(1) (5/1 -82%) Superstylin
5
5/1(-82%)
(1) Superstylin 5/1, Irish point winner who made a winning chase bow at Lingfield last season and almost repeated the feat back there in November. Still held up when unseating 4 out on latest outing 7 weeks ago and remains of interest despite having stamina to prove here. Unseated rider last time but went close on reappearance; capable of being involved.
4
(4) (11/2 -38%) Cloudy Wednesday
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(4) Cloudy Wednesday 11/2, C&D winner who was an excellent second off this mark at Fakenham after 9 months off 18 days ago. Can go well again if this doesn't come too soon. Has won over C&D; creditable second at Fakenham on reappearance; in the mix.
6
(6) (6/1 +29%) Pittsburg
6
6/1(+29%)
(6) Pittsburg 6/1, Took advantage of his fall in the weights when recording a third win over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July. However, it's been a struggle for the most part since and others are more convincing despite some decent efforts back on the Flat of late. Won off 3lb higher in July; likely player provided he shows that sort of form.
3
(3) (13/2 +0%) Supasunrise
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(3) Supasunrise 13/2, C&D winner but now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 and arrives here on the back of 2 below-par runs. Mark continues to ease at least and tongue strap on 1st time. Has won over C&D; could play a big role provided he rebounds with tongue-tie added.
7
(7) (9/1 +10%) Pleasure Garden
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Pleasure Garden 9/1, Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Followed winning chase debut at Plumpton in April 2023 with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat and shaped as if better for the run after 18 months off when third at Plumpton 52 days ago. Eased 4 lb so not taken lightly. Seemed to need sole run this term; nicely treated on Plumpton win in April 2023.
11
(11) (9/1 +44%) Elzaaro
9
9/1(+44%)
(11) Elzaaro 9/1, Little to shout about in a bumper/over obstacles and likely to come up short once again. Headgear on. Still has no placed form; first-time headgear needs to help.
2
(2) (12/1 +40%) Bring The Action
12
12/1(+40%)
(2) Bring The Action 12/1, Had wind op/blinkered when resuming winning ways at Hereford (21f) in April. However, well held since so something to prove. Has failed to repeat the form of his Hereford success.
8
(8) (22/1 +12%) Millies Mite
22
22/1(+12%)
(8) Millies Mite 22/1, Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when off the mark at the twenty-seventh attempt at Fontwell (19.5f) in April. However, she has failed to fire more recently, so others preferred despite back on winning mark. Gained sole win off this mark; possibilities if back to that form.
9
(9) (33/1 -175%) Bombay Sunset
33
33/1(-175%)
(9) Bombay Sunset 33/1, Second in a point bumper in 2022 but well held under Rules so far, including in pair of chase tries for Lucy Wadham. Cheekpieces reached for on yard debut after 8 months off. Plenty to find on form; debut for new yard.
10
(10) (40/1 -186%) Berliet Express
40
40/1(-186%)
(10) Berliet Express 40/1, Dual winner over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences. Below form all 3 starts this term and others preferred. Poor chance on this season's form.
12
(12) (40/1 0%) Can't Buy Time
40
40/1(0%)
(12) Can't Buy Time 40/1, Little solid form over hurdles/fences. Has a modest completion record.
13:10 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CLOUDY WEDNESDAY defied market expectation to fill the runner-up spot on his seasonal return last month and, if coming on for that run, the nine-year-old ought to go very close in his bid to go one better. Superstylin blotted his copybook when unseating his rider at Lingfield in December but he'd been largely consistent prior to that and could bounce back, while Pleasure Garden is another to consider.
SUPERSTYLIN was let down by a rare jumping lapse at Lingfield last time and is worth another chance to confirm the form of his excellent close second there on return. Cloudy Wednesday looked as good as ever when second on his comeback at Fakenham and is the obvious threat, with Supasunrise best of the others.
The suggestion is possible improver GINGER JONNY, ahead of C&D winners Cloudy Wednesday (second choice) and Supasunrise.
(2) Califet En Vol 5/4, Shaped encouragingly on Rules debut in an Ayr bumper last spring and looked a smart prospect when bolting up in 6-runner novice at Kempton (21f, good to soft) on return/hurdles debut. Second to subsequent Grade 1 winer The New Lion at Newbury next time and remains open to improvement. Won easily at Kempton then finished second at Newbury behind exciting The New Lion.
3
(3) (6/4 -9%) Jax Junior
1.5
6/4(-9%)
(3) Jax Junior 6/4, Proved to be a disappointment starting out over hurdles at Uttoxeter in November but, having undergone a wind op shortly after, he hasn't looked back since, making all in novice events at Doncaster and Ascot in the style of one destined for far better things. Big player. 2-2 since having wind surgery, making all at Doncaster and Ascot; the pick on ratings.
4
(4) (8/1 -14%) Junker D'allier
8
8/1(-14%)
(4) Junker D'allier 8/1, Found only one too good all 3 starts in bumpers last term and perfect start to hurdles career at Carlisle in October. Followed up at Bangor a month later before struggling in Grade 1 company at Aintree on Boxing Day, subsequent to which he has undergone a wind op. Looks vulnerable. Failed to cut the mustard in Grade 1 last time; progressive and solid record otherwise.
5
(5) (11/1 -10%) No Questions Asked
11
11/1(-10%)
(5) No Questions Asked 11/1, Point winner who showed useful winning form in bumpers last season. Made it 2-3 in this sphere when accounting for 13 rivals in a 16.2f Herford novice in December but more will be needed up in class and trip here. 2-3 over hurdles; represents last year's winning stable and may rate higher still.
6
(6) (20/1 -11%) Secret Des Dieux
20
20/1(-11%)
(6) Secret Des Dieux 20/1, Fair form in bumpers and odds-on winner of a Fakenham maiden/Hereford novice on first 2 starts of this season. Emphasis on stamina counted against him when third on handicap debut last time and, provided that the same scenario doesn't arise here, he could have a part to play. Tongue strap applied. Ran creditably in Fakenham handicap on New Year's Day; this is a harder task.
1
(1) (28/1 -75%) Block Rockin Beats
28
28/1(-75%)
(1) Block Rockin Beats 28/1, Bright start under Rules when landing a Cheltenham bumper in October and duly built on that when runner-up in a listed event back there next time. Subsequently ran to a fair level on hurdles debut at Ascot but a sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to get competitive in this contest. Good bumper form; backward step, having lacked fluency, at Ascot switched to hurdles.
13:45 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Jax Junior impressed at Doncaster in December before defying a penalty in fine style at Ascot the following month, and Lucy Wadham's gelding merits the utmost respect. However, it may be best to side with CALIFET EN VOL, who bolted up at Kempton in November before finding only subsequent Challow Hurdle winner The New Lion too strong at Newbury next time. That piece of form looks extremely strong now, and he receives a confident vote. Junker D'allier can chase the pair home.
The two with the most appealing profiles are JAX JUNIOR and Califet En Vol, with marginal preference for the former who was utterly dominant from the front at Doncaster and Ascot. There should be more to come from Lucy Wadham's charge and he can take this step up in class in his stride. The form of Califet En Vol's Newbury second received a sizeable boost when the winner followed up in a Grade 1 over Christmas and he is the clear main danger ahead of Secret des Dieux.
Top rated JAX JUNIOR is taken to complete a hat-trick. Califet En Vol is feared most.
(1) Brides Hill 4/7, Smart chaser who completed 4-timer with another career best in Grade 2 at Punchestown in May. Derailed by a blunder when failing to land the odds in listed race at Doncaster on return but fancied to get back on track in a race she won last year. Finished behind La Renommee at Doncaster but beat that rival by 6l in this race last year.
4
(4) (11/4 +0%) Telepathique
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(4) Telepathique 11/4, Boasts an excellent strike rate and has won 3 of her 4 starts over fences this season, again impressing with her jumping when making all in handicap at Fakenham 18 days ago. Worth another shot at this level. Easy win at Fakenham took her chase form figures to 1121; progressing very well; respected.
2
(2) (8/1 -100%) La Renommee
8
8/1(-100%)
(2) La Renommee 8/1, Versatile trip wise, as shown when winning mares handicap at Cheltenham in April. Added to her tally with 2 more wins this season, including a similar event at Doncaster last time. Second to Brides Hill last year and can go well again. Runner-up in this event 12 months ago; broke her Listed duck at Doncaster most recently.
3
(3) (14/1 -100%) Hauturiere
14
14/1(-100%)
(3) Hauturiere 14/1, Grade 2 winner at Limerick last season but proved very rusty after 12 months off at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Better expected now. May rebound with Fairyhouse reappearance under her belt; Grade 2 scorer in 2023.
14:20 Huntingdon Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
La Renommee looked to enjoy the drop in distance when landing a Listed chase over an extended 2m4f at Doncaster 39 days ago and the seven-year-old should give another good account. BRIDES HILL (third) was overturned at cramped odds on that occasion, but improvement could be forthcoming given that was her first outing since May last year and Gavin Cromwell's mare is fancied to exact her revenge. The progressive Telepathique also warrants respect at the foot of the weights.
BRIDES HILL is a level above her opponents and can quickly resume winning ways in a race she landed last year. All 3 of her rivals are potential threats, with likely front-runner Telepathique feared most.
Last year's winner Brides Hill is top rated but her latest effort tempers enthusiasm. Improving TELEPATHIQUE (nap) is preferred.
(2) Sun Art 5/2, Improved on hurdling debut form when third in 9-runner maiden at Southwell (15.8f, soft) in December and should continue to go the right way now venturing into handicap company. Goes handicapping off a fair mark and could continue to progress for his in-form yard.
4
(4) (7/2 -27%) Chicago Storm
3.5
7/2(-27%)
(4) Chicago Storm 7/2, Landed a Dundalk claimer on final run for Christopher David Timmons and caused a surprise back over hurdles for new yard when landing 17-runner handicap at Wincanton (15.2f) 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. Won comfortably in big field at Wincanton on stable debut; 8lb rise may not stop him.
3
(3) (9/2 +25%) Dancing In Brazil
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(3) Dancing In Brazil 9/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped with some encouragement on first run since leaving Alan King when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. May well build on that and needs considering. Fair fourth on recent stable debut and could benefit from today's forecast better ground.
1
(1) (6/1 -33%) Imaginarium
6
6/1(-33%)
(1) Imaginarium 6/1, Useful Irish 9f winner on Flat for Ger Lyons and made a successful start over hurdles on his sole start for Lucinda Russell in May (Perth, 2m). Stiff task at Cheltenham starting out for this yard and then a below-par run on final qualifying run. Could do better now handicapping with yard going well. Useful on Flat and won on h'dle debut; well beaten latest but not ruled out on h'cap debut.
6
(6) (15/2 -7%) Pyrotechnic
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(6) Pyrotechnic 15/2, Fair maiden hurdler who found his enthusiasm getting the better of him when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Bounce back required. Encouraging second at Lingfield two starts ago; not so good since but he's not written off.
7
(7) (12/1 0%) What's One More
12
12/1(0%)
(7) What's One More 12/1, Course bumper winner who was probably flattered when not beaten far in 3-runner novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Improvement needed making an early switch to handicaps. Course bumper winner who could build upon first two hurdle runs now back on better ground.
9
(9) (40/1 -100%) Aotano
40
40/1(-100%)
(9) Aotano 40/1, Made a winning hurdles debut at Hereford (16.2f) in October. Changed hands for £8,500 thereafter and similar form when fifth at Bangor and third at Doncaster since. Makes handicap bow. 4yo who won on debut at Hereford in October but hasn't kicked on from that; handicap debut.
5
(5) (50/1 -525%) Brave Jen
50
50/1(-525%)
(5) Brave Jen 50/1, Didn't need to improve to double tally in 5-runner handicap hurdle (6/5) at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 46 days ago, all out. Sold out of Tom Ellis' yard for £5,000 subsequently. Won by a neck on final run for Tom Ellis and the runner-up went one better next time.
14:55 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Brave Jen dug deep to regain the winning thread at Fakenham in December, but a 4lb higher mark may prevent her from following up. With that in mind, this looks a suitable opportunity for fellow last-time-out winner CHICAGO STORM. He ran out a ready scorer of a 17-runner affair at Wincanton last month and an 8lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Handicap debutant Sun Art is also of interest.
CHICAGO STORM ran out a decisive winner of a big-field handicap at Wincanton 3 weeks ago and, with the third already going on to frank the form, he's taken to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and go in again. This is a competitive race for the level however, with Imaginarium, Dancing In Brazil and Sun Art a trio of interesting rivals.
Having won easily in a big field at Wincanton on his first run for Daisy Hitchins, CHICAGO STORM can make it 2-2 for the yard.
(5) Tuscan Rose 5/2, Signed off last term with success at Taunton and has found only one too good on both outings this term, latterly at Uttoxeter (19.9f). Bred to be suited by this longer trip and ought to go well again. Developing into a consistent sort; successful in sole attempt at about 3m; solid chance.
2
(2) (3/1 +33%) Miss Goldfire
3
3/1(+33%)
(2) Miss Goldfire 3/1, Matched the pick of her maiden form when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 51 days ago, running on. Step up in trip likely to suit and has to be of interest. Good second at Wincanton last time; this bumper winner has possibilities dropped in grade.
1
(1) (9/2 -140%) Rockola
4.5
9/2(-140%)
(1) Rockola 9/2, Improved again to make it 2 wins from as many starts in handicaps in 9-runner affair at this course (20.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Up in trip and open to further improvement. 2-2 since switched to handicaps and registered the latest success at this venue; respected.
4
(4) (7/1 +56%) Musique De Fee
7
7/1(+56%)
(4) Musique De Fee 7/1, Winner in hurdle at Ludlow in April but failed to come on for recent run when pulled up in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 92 days ago, dropping away before home turn. Bit to prove on the back of that. Won at Ludlow last April on handicap debut; has failed to match that form since.
9
(9) (9/1 +25%) Von Hallers
9
9/1(+25%)
(9) Von Hallers 9/1, Confirmed she has some ability when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 24 days ago. More needed for win purposes, however. Some promise switched to handicap hurdles the last twice; improvement possible.
6
(6) (12/1 -20%) Shesupincourt
12
12/1(-20%)
(6) Shesupincourt 12/1, Unreliable sort who underperformed returned to hurdling when fourth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Given a chance by the handicapper. Nicely treated on best form and this step back up in trip is a plus.
3
(3) (12/1 -50%) Cluain Aodha
12
12/1(-50%)
(3) Cluain Aodha 12/1, Very much reiterated than she needs to go back right handed when third of 5 in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, soft, 7/2) 36 days ago. Potentially well treated on this return to hurdling. On a handy mark back over hurdles; this return to a right-handed track is worth exploring.
8
(8) (25/1 -25%) Regally Blonde
25
25/1(-25%)
(8) Regally Blonde 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler who seemed stretched by the trip when third of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) 36 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Has had a breathing operation. Maiden over hurdles and a doubtful stayer upped further in distance.
7
(7) (50/1 +0%) Sadie Hill
50
50/1(+0%)
(7) Sadie Hill 50/1, Offered little on first since leaving Alastair Ralph when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy, 18/1) 16 days ago, labouring before home turn. Up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Possibly needed the run at Leicester on stable/seasonal debut.
10
(10) (150/1 -200%) Dontworrywegotthis
150
150/1(-200%)
(10) Dontworrywegotthis 150/1, Offered little only start in bumpers and has fared no better since switched to hurdling. 5 lb out of the weights for handicap debut. Handicap debutante who has a very poor chance on form.
15:30 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The hat-trick seeking ROCKOLA would likely have finished second but for the leader unseating at the final hurdle here 35 days ago. However, the daughter of Jukebox Jury looks just the type to relish this 3m1f distance and she may unlock enough improvement to defy a 3lb rise. The biggest threat is Tuscan Rose, who has filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings, while Miss Goldfire could also go well.
ROCKOLA was again strong at the line when scoring here in January, so she's fancied to complete the hat-trick with the step up in trip likely to suit. Miss Goldfire, Cluain Aodha and Tuscan Rose are a trio of potential threats.
Being 2-2 in handicaps and a course winner last time, ROCKOLA is preferred. Tuscan Rose is second choice.
(1) Fortune De Mer 10/11, Runner-up completed start in points (from one now in the yard) and again on bumper debut at Cheltenham before easing clear in listed event there in November. Form has taken some knocks but he's a good prospect. Registered his Cheltenham Listed success with plenty in hand; highly respected.
8
(8) (9/2 +0%) Soldier Saint
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(8) Soldier Saint 9/2, €90,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Motu Fareone and fair hurdler Hit And Run. Got to be respected on debut. 90,000euros 3yo; dam half-sister to a useful bumper/hurdle scorer; shortlisted.
4
(4) (9/1 -20%) Corra Bheinn
9
9/1(-20%)
(4) Corra Bheinn 9/1, Milan gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Crosshill, stays 3m. Dam bumper winner. Tongue tied. Highly respected on debut. 40,000euros foal; out of a bumper winner; represents last year's winning yard.
10
(10) (10/1 +60%) St Jessica
10
10/1(+60%)
(10) St Jessica 10/1, Malinas mare. Dam 2¼m/2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 25f) Imperial Alcazar. Judged on breeding, others are likelier types.
5
(5) (11/1 +31%) Island Bridge
11
11/1(+31%)
(5) Island Bridge 11/1, £75,000 buy successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Oct 2024). One to note. Irish point winner whose granddam was a useful bumper/jumps scorer; interesting.
12
(12) (16/1 +36%) Arcadian Star
16
16/1(+36%)
(12) Arcadian Star 16/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart chaser (stayed 3m) Glen Forsa (by Mahler). 28,000euros 3yo; dam half-sister to a bumper and smart chase winner.
9
(9) (20/1 -43%) Spectacularsunrise
20
20/1(-43%)
(9) Spectacularsunrise 20/1, Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to modest 2m hurdle winner Mavis Pike. Dam 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdlers/chasers Indifference Curve (stayed 3½m) and Ardera Cross (stays 21f). Newcomer to note. Not an obvious bumper prospect judged on breeding.

(6) Jager Time 20/1, Third on only start in Irish points but offered little behind Fortune de Mer in a class 2 bumper at Cheltenham in October. This less demanding at least. Well behind Fortune De Mer at Cheltenham in sole rules attempt.
3
(3) (28/1 +15%) Cheesy Icon
28
28/1(+15%)
(3) Cheesy Icon 28/1, Quite sharply bred for bumpers and showed clear ability behind Dan Skelton-trained winner at Southwell (50/1) 7 weeks ago. Should progress. Showed some ability with his fourth-place finish at Southwell; may progress.
11
(11) (50/1 +50%) Vera Hobbs
50
50/1(+50%)
(11) Vera Hobbs 50/1, Didn't go unbacked but went with no encouragement on her introduction at Market Rasen in November and she's passed over. Shaped as if something as amiss at Market Rasen.
13
(13) (50/1 -52%) Jeepster
50
50/1(-52%)
(13) Jeepster 50/1, Ulysses gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including modest 1½m winner The Colorist. Dam, ran once over hurdles, 1m winner on Flat. 17,000gns yearling; rather lacks potential on breeding.
7
(7) (50/1 +0%) Patch Man
50
50/1(+0%)
(7) Patch Man 50/1, Failed to justify cramped odds when sixth of 7 in bumper at Southwell on debut and poor effort at Worcester subsequently. Has left Sir Mark Prescott in the 7 months he's been off. Disappointing favourite in both runs for Sir Mark Prescott.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is hard to gauge just how much FORTUNE DE MER had in hand when he won a Listed bumper at Cheltenham's November meeting. However, it was more than enough to suggest he is capable of a big run under a penalty here. Corra Bheinn, whose yard won this last year, and Soldier Saint, who represents the powerful Nicky Henderson yard, are other notable contenders.
FORTUNE DE MER looks a good prospect and can defy a penalty for all there are some appealing newcomers here, headed up by Soldier Saint, Corra Bheinn and Big Wigg.
The clear form pick is FORTUNE DE MER. Soldier Saint, Corra Bheinn and Island Bridge are interesting types.
(7) Quaviste 2/1, €90,000 3-y-o, Authorized gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Colonel Mustard. Obvious appeal first time up. 90,000euros 3yo; out of half-sister to a smart bumper/hurdle winner.
6
(6) (3/1 0%) Nathan's Run
3
3/1(0%)
(6) Nathan's Run 3/1, Strong in the betting and made an encouraging start at Uttoxeter (5/2) 3 months ago, taking a while for the penny to drop but very much getting the hang of things by the finish, keeping on all under a largely hands-and-heels ride. Can improve and good claims. Showed promise at Uttoxeter but the form isn't particularly strong.
3
(3) (9/2 +0%) Draco Malfoy
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(3) Draco Malfoy 9/2, €140,000 Harzand gelding. Successful on second of 2 outings in Irish points and has shown plenty in bumpers, looking a staying type here 5 weeks ago. Respected. Irish point winner; ran well over C&D most recently; the form choice.
5
(5) (9/1 +25%) Keepmeoutofthis
9
9/1(+25%)
(5) Keepmeoutofthis 9/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Jeu St Eloi gelding. Dam French chaser (2½m/2¾m cross-country winner). One to take seriously on debut. 50,000euros 3yo; the stable first string on jockey arrangements.
2
(2) (9/1 +36%) Champagne Fortune
9
9/1(+36%)
(2) Champagne Fortune 9/1, €22,000 Soldier of Fortune gelding out of a chase winner. Placed twice from 4 starts in Irish points, including latest (Nov 02). Placed twice in Irish points; new yard is 2-19 in bumpers.
1
(1) (12/1 -20%) Caliach Point
12
12/1(-20%)
(1) Caliach Point 12/1, Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including bumper winner/smart hurdler Drop The Anchor. Lots to like on paper. 19,000euros foal; the stable second string on jockey arrangements.
10
(10) (12/1 -118%) Wandering Ego
12
12/1(-118%)
(10) Wandering Ego 12/1, Held every chance when falling at the last in his sole Irish point and made a promising debut under Rules when 8 lengths third of 8 in a Newbury bumper in November (winner promising). Should improve. Finished third at Newbury on rules debut; may build on that effort.
4
(4) (12/1 -60%) Fine Shot
12
12/1(-60%)
(4) Fine Shot 12/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Summer Storm. Dam 2m hurdle winner (stayed 21f), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Close Touch. Sure to catch attention. Related to a few bumper/jumps winners; in good hands; respected debutant.
11
(11) (20/1 +60%) Uhtred Ragnarson
20
20/1(+60%)
(11) Uhtred Ragnarson 20/1, Lots more to like about his C&D third 10 weeks ago, staying on from a fair way back. Suspect he'll need more time. Modest third over C&D last time; needs further improvement.
9
(9) (22/1 +45%) Slade Shore
22
22/1(+45%)
(9) Slade Shore 22/1, €54,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Kylemore Lough. Placed both completed starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Dec 1). Placed twice in Irish points; not a bumper sort judged on pedigree.
12
(12) (50/1 +0%) Urban Isle
50
50/1(+0%)
(12) Urban Isle 50/1, Easy to back and well held at Hereford 7 weeks ago. Seemed to need the run at Hereford; may improve.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Point-to-point winner DRACO MALFOY has shown ability on both previous starts in bumpers and rates a key player in what appears to be the weaker of the two divisions. Nathan's Run is feared most after creating a favourable impression when second in a similar event at Uttoxeter on debut in November. Quaviste and Keepmeoutofthis are notable debutants to keep an eye on.
NATHAN'S RUN was a big eye-catcher first time up at Uttoxeter in November and can land the spoils with improvement likely. Quaviste, Caliach Point and Fine Shot head up a band of interesting newcomers.
Royal runner FINE SHOT is an attractively bred debutant and he gets the vote ahead of form choice Draco Malfoy.

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.
