The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) William Of York 3/1, Bounced straight back from a disappointing handicap debut when beating the reopposing Sonnemoser a length at Wetherby (2m, soft) under Tristan Durrell last month. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip.
4
2nd (4) (0.8/1 +60%) Sonnemoser
0.8
0.8/1(+60%)
(4) Sonnemoser 0.8/1, Some promise in bumpers and novice hurdles for Evan Williams and made a sound start in handicaps for new stable when length second to William of York over 2m at Wetherby last month. Longer trip should suit and likely has a race in him soon.
6
3rd (6) (11/1 +0%) Percy Willis
11
11/1(+0%)
(6) Percy Willis 11/1, In reasonable heart on the level over the winter. Modest form in 2m novice hurdles in recent weeks but could take a step forward now handicapping over a longer trip.
3
4th (3) (8/1 +60%) City Roller
8
8/1(+60%)
(3) City Roller 8/1, Runner-up in bumpers and also placed in a Newcastle novice hurdle in February. Does need to shrug off a poor effort on last month's handicap debut, though.
7
5th (7) (10/1 +50%) Black Lightning
10
10/1(+50%)
(7) Black Lightning 10/1, Won twice in the first half of 2021/22 campaign. Largely struggled since but latest Southwell third was a slight step back in the right direction. Needs to build upon that now.
8
|PU| (8) (80/1 +20%) Ace Time
80
80/1(+20%)
(8) Ace Time 80/1, Dual hurdles winner late in 2021 but his form has nosedived since. 9 lb out of the weights here and a big outsider.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Samtara bolted up off a 4lb lower mark over an extended 2m3f at Hereford and enters calculations, but he could face a tough assignment off top-weight. Therefore, it may pay to side with SONNEMOSER, who arrives here following a creditable second to William Of York over 2m at Wetherby. Dr Richard Newland's six-year-old is better off at these weights, so he is more than entitled to reverse that form.
SONNEMOSER was behind William of York when second on his 2m handicap/yard debut at Wetherby last month, but he is 8 lb better off at the weights with Dan Skelton's charge this time if jockey claims are taken into account, and today's extra yardage promises to suit so he's taken to turn the tables. Last year's winner Hardy Boy looks best of the remainder.
Percy Willis is potentially very well handicapped but SONNEMOSER can take a good step forward now upped in distance.
(5) Moviddy 1.62/1, Irish point winner who made it second time lucky over hurdles when quickening clear in 8-runner novice at Lingfield (19.5f) in February. Improved again when a close second at Doncaster but ran below form tried in a tongue strap in a competitive handicap at Newbury last time. Can bounce back.
1
2nd (1) (3.5/1 +36%) Artemis Kimbo
3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(1) Artemis Kimbo 3.5/1, Promising first effort in bumper and overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut at Leicester (20.5f) at the beginning of December. Proved a let-down under a penalty at Lingfield 9 weeks later but may see her race out better in a first-time tongue strap after a break.
7
3rd (7) (125/1 -25%) Flora Paget
125
125/1(-25%)
(7) Flora Paget 125/1, Well held in bumpers and has achieved little both starts over hurdles.
3
4th (3) (11/1 -144%) Just Sophie
11
11/1(-144%)
(3) Just Sophie 11/1, Left her hurdling debut form behind to get off the mark in 7-runner novice at this course (19.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago, driven out. That was a weak affair though, so looks vulnerable under a penalty.
2
5th (2) (1.25/1 +29%) Blue Beach
1.25
1.25/1(+29%)
(2) Blue Beach 1.25/1, Kayf Tara mare who won a bumper last March and made it third time lucky over hurdles over C&D in February, well on top finish. Advanced her form with cheekpieces applied when runner-up in a well-contested handicap at Newbury (20.5f) last month. Big player in these calmer waters.
8
6th (8) (80/1 -60%) Nancy Till
80
80/1(-60%)
(8) Nancy Till 80/1, Promising in Irish points but well held completed start over hurdles faced with an inadequate test.
9
|PU| (9) (50/1 +0%) Park End Sunrise
50
50/1(+0%)
(9) Park End Sunrise 50/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to 1m-11f winner Persun. Dam (c117/h109) 2m-2¼m hurdle/chase winner. Market for clues.
6
|PU| (6) (100/1 +0%) Artemis Sky
100
100/1(+0%)
(6) Artemis Sky 100/1, Poor maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) and well beaten all 3 starts for current yard in that sphere. Hooded for hurdling debut and easily passed over.
LTO Selection:
14:05 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This represents a drop in grade for BLUE BEACH, who kept on for second over a similar trip at Newbury on her latest outing last month. She seemed to benefit from the application of cheekpieces on that occasion and a 7lb penalty for a six-length success on her penultimate outing may not be enough to stop her here. Artemis Kimbo sports a first-time tongue-tie and is feared most, while Just Sophie is another to bear in mind.
MOVIDDY finished a fair way behind Blue Beach in a competitive handicap at Newbury last month, but she's much better off on these terms and is well worth another chance having created a good impression prior to that. Artemis Kimbo can prove best of the rest if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect.
The addition of cheekpieces sparked improvement from BLUE BEACH at Newbury three weeks ago and she can to gain a third success.
(4) Master Malcolm 1.75/1, Better than ever since the blinkers went on and wide-margin winner of 8-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. Up 8 lb but still weighted to follow up.
6
2nd (6) (3.33/1 +26%) Tom Creen
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(6) Tom Creen 3.33/1, Improved for his current yard, scoring twice at Sedgefield before posting a solid third of 11 in handicap chase at Hexham 31 days ago. Can go well again.
5
3rd (5) (5.5/1 +35%) Thundersockssundae
5.5
5.5/1(+35%)
(5) Thundersockssundae 5.5/1, C&D winner in October. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap chase here (23.6f, soft) 111 days ago so needs to bounce back after a break.
8
4th (8) (14/1 -17%) Cloudy Wednesday
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Cloudy Wednesday 14/1, Finally off the mark at Fakenham in February but he has turned in poor efforts on his last two outings. Others appeal more.
3
5th (3) (6.5/1 +35%) Duke Of Luckley
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(3) Duke Of Luckley 6.5/1, Successful on his chase bow at Catterick (15.6f) in November and back on track when third of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shortlisted.
1
6th (1) (8.5/1 -31%) Out The Glen
8.5
8.5/1(-31%)
(1) Out The Glen 8.5/1, C&D winner who arrives on the back of a good second of 3 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. Well in the mix once more.
7
7th (7) (28/1 -12%) Follow Your Fire
28
28/1(-12%)
(7) Follow Your Fire 28/1, Continues out of sorts, last of 7 in handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, good to soft) 152 days ago. Back up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.
2
|U| (2) (18/1 -260%) Chestnut Pete
18
18/1(-260%)
(2) Chestnut Pete 18/1, Fair hurdler who matched that form at the first time of asking over fences when second of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 10 days ago, just failing. Back up in trip. Much respected.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Only narrowly denied on his chase debut over 2m at Hereford recently, CHESTNUT PETE could benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. The gelded son of Native Ruler must hold every chance of being in the mix, but Master Malcolm bolted up over C&D last month and commands respect now rated 8lb higher for that success. Out The Glen and Duke Of Luckley add further spice to the mix.
MASTER MALCOLM has taken his form up a level since the blinkers went on and is weighted to follow up his easy C&D success despite taking a 8 lb rise. Tom Creen is proving a good advert for Sam England and is feared most ahead of C&D scorer Out The Glen and Hereford runner-up Chestnut Pete.
Olly Murphy's OUT THE GLEN has resumed from his absence in good nick and this front-runner should put up another bold show.
(2) Western Zephyr 3.5/1, Point/bumper winner who defied a penalty at the second time of asking over C&D in January. Very disappointing both starts since though, including in a first-time hood on handicap debut at Sandown latest.
4
2nd (4) (1.5/1 -9%) Matterhorn
1.5
1.5/1(-9%)
(4) Matterhorn 1.5/1, Got back on track away from the mud (also had breathing op) when impressive winner of 10-runner novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 45 days ago, cruising clear. Nice prospect.
3
3rd (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Dancila
3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(3) Dancila 3.5/1, Useful Flat winner in Ireland for Jim Bolger and excellent start over hurdles when seeing off 3 winners at Musselburgh in February. A shade disappointing when second under a penalty at Taunton but he's still a key player.
1
4th (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Cruz Control
2.75
2.75/1(+31%)
(1) Cruz Control 2.75/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and made the perfect start in this sphere with a stylish victory at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) on Boxing Day. Jumped none too fluently when seventh in Cheltenham Grade 2 but got back on track when making all in a thin race at Wetherby (2m) 16 days ago. Much respected.
6
5th (6) (40/1 -100%) Flashy Boy
40
40/1(-100%)
(6) Flashy Boy 40/1, £25,000 5-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful but untrustworthy chaser Oscar O'Scar and fair hurdler/chaser Almost Gold. Successful on last of 5 starts in Irish points (Apr 2022). Wears hood.
8
6th (8) (300/1 -50%) Meanaz
300
300/1(-50%)
(8) Meanaz 300/1, Has shown nothing both starts to date (bumper/maiden hurdle).
7
|PU| (7) (300/1 -200%) Remember Ally
300
300/1(-200%)
(7) Remember Ally 300/1, 66/1 when down the field in a C&D bumper on his debut on Boxing Day. Tongue tie on for hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Disappointing when pulled up on his stable debut at Sandown last November, MATTERHORN showed his true colours when easily getting off the mark at Taunton last month. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up, and he gets the vote ahead of the comfortable Wetherby winner Cruz Control and Dancila, who has had a fine start to his career in this sphere.
This is a deeper race than the one MATTERHORN won at Taunton, but it was still a taking performance and he's fancied to follow up. Cruz Control and Dancila are considered the main threats.
All the hurdle-race winners are in the mix but DANCILA may well be the pick judged on the form he showed at Musselburgh and Taunton.
(7) Grillon De Monty 5/1, 7-y-o who won 3 cross-country chases at Blain-Bouvron-Le-Gavre in April/May 2021 and showed he retains plenty of ability after when runner-up in Southwell handicap hurdle in November. Proved a disappointment here on Boxing Day, though.
6
2nd (6) (11/1 -38%) Lanspark
11
11/1(-38%)
(6) Lanspark 11/1, Dual winner last season who ran respectably without looking well treated when second in 6-runner handicap at Exeter (23.1f, heavy, 16/5) in January. First run for yard after leaving Joe Tizzard for £13,000. Cheekpieces also applied.
3
3rd (3) (4.5/1 +50%) Ernest Gray
4.5
4.5/1(+50%)
(3) Ernest Gray 4.5/1, Useful dual bumper winner who appeared to improve for the step up to 24.4f/switch to handicap company when landing a 4-runner contest at Doncaster (24.4f) in March. Pulled up back on softer ground at Newbury since, though.
2
4th (2) (2/1 +27%) Armchair Farmer
2
2/1(+27%)
(2) Armchair Farmer 2/1, Resumed his progress back from 3 months off when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good to soft) last month, clear from halfway and eased about 4 lengths late on. Folded tamely at Doncaster 7 days later but possibly found the race coming too soon. Worth another chance.
1
5th (1) (2.75/1 +61%) Judicial Law
2.75
2.75/1(+61%)
(1) Judicial Law 2.75/1, Has presumably met with problems since doing so well last season (3 wins), seemingly needing the run after another 6 months off at Exeter recently. Eased 3 lb and not dismissed upped in trip.
4
|PU| (4) (10/1 -11%) Godrevy Point
10
10/1(-11%)
(4) Godrevy Point 10/1, Runner-up twice before getting off the mark in a 25f Hereford maiden hurdle last February. Disappointing over fences this season but no forlorn hope now returning to hurdles.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -21%) Let's Have Another
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Let's Have Another 40/1, Lightly raced 7-y-o who gained second success in small-field Market Rasen novice (20.6f) in October. However, ran a moody race sent chasing at Uttoxeter next time and hasn't been back at his best back over hurdles since. First run for yard after leaving Olly Murphy. Cheekpieces back on.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of THE QUESTIONER, who has been plying his trade over fences this year but was in fine form when last seen over the smaller obstacles. The seven-year-old has only been outside of the first two once in his last five starts in this sphere, and that consistency can see him master the consistent Armchair Farmer, who is bound to make it a test from the front. Grillon De Monty and Lanspark cannot be ruled out either.
THE QUESTIONER was let down by his jumping at Sedgefield last time, but he'd been progressing well prior to that and looks interesting now returning to hurdles having won an Ascot handicap when last seen in this sphere. The step up in trip could suit Judicial Law, while Armchair Farmer can be give given another chance having possibly found the race coming too soon at Doncaster.
Running again so quickly provides a ready excuse for ARMCHAIR FARMER's latest start and he was thoroughly dominant a week earlier.
(4) Duke Of Deception 3.33/1, Got off the mark in commanding fashion at Musselburgh (3m) in Feburary but only seventh of 10 in valuable handicap chase at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) 21 days ago. This is a big drop in class and he should bounce back.
9
2nd (9) (4.5/1 +44%) Doyens De Ante
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(9) Doyens De Ante 4.5/1, Maiden hurdler but he posted a good 5½ lengths second of 9 to Drop Him In in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. That was just his second chase start so he needs considering despite being 3 lb out of the handicap.
8
3rd (8) (6/1 +8%) Eurkash
6
6/1(+8%)
(8) Eurkash 6/1, Winless since 2020 but still in touch when fell 4 out in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 34 days ago. No forlorn hope.
2
4th (2) (2.12/1 -13%) Drop Him In
2.12
2.12/1(-13%)
(2) Drop Him In 2.12/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when opening his account in 9-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago by 5½ lengths from Doyens de Ante. Sure to go well again despite 8 lb rise.
6
5th (6) (10/1 +55%) Ron Burgundy
10
10/1(+55%)
(6) Ron Burgundy 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, heavy) 106 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Had wind op. Lots to find on his chase debut.
3
|PU| (3) (10/1 -43%) Dreamsundermyfeet
10
10/1(-43%)
(3) Dreamsundermyfeet 10/1, Dual chase winner last season (including here) but proving rather frustrating this term, jumping sketchily when only fair third of four at Leicester last time. Bit more needed.
1
|PU| (1) (16/1 -33%) Frau Georgia
16
16/1(-33%)
(1) Frau Georgia 16/1, In good nick until beating only one after 6 months off in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 167 days ago (lost shoe). Weighted to go well if back on song after another absence.
7
|PU| (7) (40/1 -21%) Troed Y Melin
40
40/1(-21%)
(7) Troed Y Melin 40/1, Scored at Warwick last May but has gone the wrong way since, pulled up at Taunton in November. Lots more is needed after a break.
LTO Selection:
16:25 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DROP HIM IN won over C&D last month and he must hold every chance of following up. The seven-year-old should be capable of upholding that form with Doyens De Ante (second), who has over five lengths to make up. Eurkash looked to still be going well when falling four out at Plumpton and the form of that race has worked out very well since, while Mister Tickle must be of interest for the in-from Gary Moore outfit.
DROP HIM IN has steadily found his feet for Olly Murphy and is taken to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his recent breakthrough C&D success. Doyens de Ante chased him home that day and is again fancied to fill second spot, with the handily-weighted Frau Georgia another to consider if on song.
Judged on the manner of his C&D win last time, DROP HIM IN (nap) may well find further improvement to score again.
(4) Land Genie 2.25/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to unbeaten Champion Hurdler Constitution Hill. Dam (h123) 2m-19f hurdle winner. Of obvious interest on debut.
6
2nd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Man Of My Dreams
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(6) Man Of My Dreams 3.33/1, €40,000 3-y-o, £100,000 4-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Runner-up in a point in December so he's much respected for his new yard.
5
3rd (5) (12/1 +45%) Little Peter
12
12/1(+45%)
(5) Little Peter 12/1, 14/1, sixth of 10 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) on NH debut 42 days ago. Needs to build on it.
2
4th (2) (1.88/1 +0%) Borodale
1.88
1.88/1(+0%)
(2) Borodale 1.88/1, Promising individual. 8/11, fourth of 6 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) on NH debut 54 days ago, not ideally placed. Open to progress. Big shout.
7
5th (7) (50/1 -25%) Guinessed
50
50/1(-25%)
(7) Guinessed 50/1, Has hinted at promise when fifth in bumpers at Hereford and Chepstow this spring. Not ruled out.
8
6th (8) (8/1 +50%) No No Espresso
8
8/1(+50%)
(8) No No Espresso 8/1, Telescope gelding. Dam unraced. Market can prove a good guide on his first run.
9
7th (9) (14/1 -115%) Ever Ready
14
14/1(-115%)
(9) Ever Ready 14/1, Shaped well when debut sixth of 13 in bumper (9/1) at Wetherby (16f, soft) 16 days ago. In the picture with more to offer.
1
8th (1) (80/1 +20%) Armadar
80
80/1(+20%)
(1) Armadar 80/1, 100/1, tenth of 12 in bumper at Kempton (16f, good to soft). Off 13 months and lots to do on his first run since leaving Patrick Chamings.
3
9th (3) (200/1 -100%) Hay Up Harry
200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Hay Up Harry 200/1, 80/1, last of 14 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 50 days ago.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Ever Ready arguably sets the standard of those who have raced so far having finished midfield on her debut at Wetherby last month, but a chance is taken on Jonjo O'Neill's well-bred LAND GENIE. The son of Flemensfirth is a half-brother to the magnificent Constitution Hill and he is sure to take some stopping if remotely close to that level of ability. Man Of My Dreams also requires a market check on debut for Ben Pauling.
The market should prove revealing but Olly Murphy's Flemensfirth gelding BORODALE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when an odds-on fourth on his debut at Market Rasen so gets the vote with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline. Newcomers Man of My Dreams (second choice) and Land Genie both appeal on paper and are in good hands so need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.
It will be intriguing to see what the market makes of Constitution Hill's half-brother Land Genie. BORODALE has the proven form.
(7) The Kemble Brewery 2.75/1, €120,000 Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h79), maiden hurdler, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Warriors Tale. Interesting newcomer for a stable with a 17% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.
8
2nd (8) (14/1 +30%) War Bonnet
14
14/1(+30%)
(8) War Bonnet 14/1, Second of 8 in an AW bumper at Lingfield in February but the form is nothing special. Probably vulnerable.
1
3rd (1) (9/1 -80%) Hey Brother
9
9/1(-80%)
(1) Hey Brother 9/1, £75,000 buy from the Irish pointing field and showed a bit when fourth of 11 on last month's soft-ground Wetherby bumper debut. Has potential but shaped like a stayer on that occasion so this slightly sharper test isn't sure to suit.
3
4th (3) (6.5/1 +13%) Mersey Street
6.5
6.5/1(+13%)
(3) Mersey Street 6.5/1, Cost £46,000 after finishing second in an Irish point last spring. Showed ability when around 13 lengths third on C&D bumper debut 6 weeks ago but he'll need to step up on that bare form to go close here.
5
5th (5) (3/1 -33%) Tigger
3
3/1(-33%)
(5) Tigger 3/1, 13/2, showed promise when sixth of 12 in bumper at Ascot on debut in October. That race has thrown up winners and he's much respected on his return to action.
6
6th (6) (3/1 +40%) Crystal Mer
3
3/1(+40%)
(6) Crystal Mer 3/1, Sea The Stars gelding who was a good fifth in a Cheltenham listed event on New Year's Day and confirmed he has a fair level of ability when 2 lengths second at Doncaster last month. Another prominent showing is on the cards.
2
7th (2) (50/1 -25%) Megascope
50
50/1(-25%)
(2) Megascope 50/1, Telescope gelding. Dam, little show sole start in bumpers, sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Glimpse of Gold. Newcomer from a yard 0-11 in bumpers in last 5 seasons.
4
8th (4) (12/1 +0%) Newton
12
12/1(+0%)
(4) Newton 12/1, From a yard which does well in bumpers but he offered only minor promise on his Southwell debut in January. Given a bit of time since and interesting to see whether the betting suggests better is expected this time.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TIGGER was far-from disgraced when finishing sixth on his debut at Ascot in October and a similar effort may be good enough to come out on top in this open-looking contest. Crystal Mer was runner-up in a similar event at Doncaster last month and looks capable of picking up a race at this level. The Kemble Brewery makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would increase interest in Kim Bailey's four-year-old.
TIGGER showed up quite well in a decent race on his Ascot debut in the autumn and is taken to strike at the second time of asking for a stable which is traditionally strong in these events. Doncaster runner-up Crystal Mer is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Kim Bailey newcomer The Kemble Brewery.
Hey Brother and Mersey Street are likely improvers but TIGGER ran well at Ascot in the autumn and he gets the nod.

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.
