1st (4) Park Hill Dancer (1.75/1 +0%)
Park Hill Dancer

1.75
1.75/1(+0%)
(4) Park Hill Dancer 1.75/1, Exeter bumper scorer who lost little caste in defeat when runner-up to a useful sort on hurdles bow at Market Rasen (20.6f) in December. Quite possible he lacked for stamina upped to 23f at Uttoxeter and back on track to an extent when second at Doncaster.
Promising second on hurdle debut but weakened tamely when favourite for next two races.

2nd (1) A Definite Getaway (1.75/1 -17%)
A Definite Getaway

1.75
1.75/1(-17%)
(1) A Definite Getaway 1.75/1, Fair maiden hurdler who ran right up to form when second of 10 at Market Rasen a month ago (20.6f). Repeat of that may well suffice.
Does not have an entirely convincing hurdle record but ran well when second last month.
2
3rd (2) Fandabidozi (18/1 -13%)
Fandabidozi

18
18/1(-13%)
(2) Fandabidozi 18/1, Modest staying handicapper on the Flat. Fair start to hurdling career at Warwick a fortnight ago (19f) and this is an easier race.
1-25 on the Flat; shaped quite well on hurdle debut but may be flattered by the bare form.
3
4th (3) Final Encore (2/1 +33%)
Final Encore

2
2/1(+33%)
(3) Final Encore 2/1, Half-brother to smart hurdler Third Wind for these connections and left his debut form well behind when landing a Taunton bumper a year ago. Runner-up on hurdles debut in March before being found out in a much deeper race at Cheltenham.
Found Cheltenham too hot last month but his Taunton second was quite promising.

5th (6) Madam May (125/1 -25%)
Madam May

125
125/1(-25%)
(6) Madam May 125/1, Limited impact in bumpers.
Well down the field in all three bumpers; can't be recommended on today's hurdling debut.
5
|PU| (5) Honey Davis (40/1 -60%)
Honey Davis

40
40/1(-60%)
(5) Honey Davis 40/1, First foal, dam (h93), untrustworthy bumper/3m hurdle winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Small World.
First foal from a bumper/low-grade hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary provided, 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY is the most likely to do well as they have a recent solid performance and have run consistently. Therefore, our prediction for the top three horses are: 1st: 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY 2nd: 1.75/1 (4) PARK HILL DANCER 3rd: 3/1 (3) FINAL ENCORE

A DEFINITE GETAWAY arrives here on the back of two second-placed finishes and this appears to be a perfect opportunity for the five-year-old to go one better. Park Hill Dancer has the ability to give the selection plenty to think about, while Final Encore came up short in a good Cheltenham race last time but he is more than capable of making the frame at this level.

A DEFINITE GETAWAY isn't obviously capable of better but a repeat of his runner-up effort at Market Rasen a month ago may well get the job done. Park Hill Dancer is the obvious threat, though this is a much easier race than Final Encore's latest assignment.

Tentative preference is for A DEFINITE GETAWAY, who was inconsistent last season but ran well on his latest outing.

1st (3) Estacas (20/1 -208%)
Estacas

20
20/1(-208%)
(3) Estacas 20/1, Useful in bumpers for Andreas Wohler and posted best effort for current yard when runner-up in Ludlow maiden (15.7f) in February. Ran as if possibly amiss at Huntingdon since, though. Since had a wind op.
66-1 second in Ludlow novice in February but has since run very poorly over C&D.
7
2nd (7) Choirmaster (6.5/1 -63%)
Choirmaster

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(7) Choirmaster 6.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat but has failed to see his race out over hurdles so far. Breathing op/tongue tie may help in that regard and he's in good hands now handicapping.
Fair on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles; handicap debut today.
2
3rd (2) Parc D'Amour (1.25/1 +38%)
Parc D'Amour

1.25
1.25/1(+38%)
(2) Parc D'Amour 1.25/1, Bumper winner who travelled with plenty of purpose when runner-up on handicap debut at Warwick 10 days ago. Hood fitted and he looks ahead of his mark.
5lb well in after clear second to a well-backed improver on recent handicap debut.
1
4th (1) I Hope Star (3.5/1 +42%)
I Hope Star

3.5
3.5/1(+42%)
(1) I Hope Star 3.5/1, Dual-bumper winner who hasn't reached that level of form over hurdles, for all he's been placed on his last 3 starts. Eased 2 lb on this second handicap start and he can remain competitive.
Placed on last three hurdling starts, most recent on handicap debut; in the mix again.
6
5th (6) Chargo (125/1 -594%)
Chargo

125
125/1(-594%)
(6) Chargo 125/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Limited impact on 4 hurdles starts for Gordon Elliott and heavy defeat back on the level at Windsor recently needs casting aside.
Placed in two 3yo hurdles in Ireland last summer but well beaten in a recent Flat handicap.
5
6th (5) Valamix (20/1 -11%)
Valamix

20
20/1(-11%)
(5) Valamix 20/1, Showed improvement for step up in trip when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in July. Handed a stiff mark and no impact at Worcester a month later.
Not seen since last summer's disappointing handicap debut; others look much safer.
4
|PU| (4) Odin's Quest (3/1 +25%)
Odin's Quest

3
3/1(+25%)
(4) Odin's Quest 3/1, Bumper winner who built on earlier promise (without usual hood) when landing weak Wincanton maiden hurdle last month. More to do now handicapping but he's in good hands. Has only one eye.
Made all in modest Wincanton maiden last month; can probably improve again here.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

1st - 2/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR 2nd - 6/1 (1) I HOPE STAR 3rd - 4/1 (4) ODIN'S QUEST

PARC D'AMOUR only found one too good on his handicap debut at Warwick 10 days ago and the first-time application of a hood could help him to score off the same mark here. Odin's Quest won a maiden hurdle at Wincanton recently and an opening rating of 103 should be workable for him. I Hope Star is the pick of the remainder.

PARC D'AMOUR travelled like a well-handicapped horse at Warwick 10 days ago, and with a hood hopefully settling him down early, he can prove that point here. Odin's Quest is the chief threat, though Choirmaster is of some interest with a tongue strap fitted on the back of a breathing op.

Kim Bailey's PARC D'AMOUR found one just too good on his recent handicap debut but can gain quick compensation off the same mark here.

Blueberry Wine

5.5
5.5/1(+27%)
(7) Blueberry Wine 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Bangor in March before posting a respectable fourth of 9 in handicap there 19 days ago. Needs considering eased 1 lb.
Well-run race and/or rain will be welcome; 0-6 in handicaps off 105 or higher, though..
5
2nd (5) Captain Broomfield (5/1 +17%)
Captain Broomfield

5
5/1(+17%)
(5) Captain Broomfield 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Pulled up in handicap chase (evens) here on his debut over fences 173 days ago so has something to prove.
Retains potential; irregular heartbeat found after chase/handicap debut flop here latest..
6
3rd (6) Dino Velvet (18/1 -50%)
Dino Velvet

18
18/1(-50%)
(6) Dino Velvet 18/1, Fairly useful winning chaser at his best but well held on recent return from 7-month absence at Market Rasen and Exeter. Tumbling down the weights but plenty to prove at present.
Career-low mark and drop back from 2m3f rate positives, but won't be wanting rain..
2
4th (2) Elios D'Or (2.25/1 +44%)
Elios D'Or

2.25
2.25/1(+44%)
(2) Elios D'Or 2.25/1, Three-time 2m winner last season. Respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f) 10 days ago so he's much respected back chasing now.
Remains on career-high chase mark, but at his most effective at class 4 in this sphere..
1
5th (1) Viva Lavilla (3.33/1 +17%)
Viva Lavilla

3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(1) Viva Lavilla 3.33/1, Point/hurdles winner who posted just a fair third in cheekpieces in five-runner Ffos Las handicap 16 days ago. Not entirely dismissed witth headgear retained.
Didn't settle latest; down another 2lb, but whether shorter trip rates a plus is moot..
4
6th (4) Somekindofstar (6/1 -20%)
Somekindofstar

6
6/1(-20%)
(4) Somekindofstar 6/1, Made a winning start for current yard at Warwick in September and he shaped well after 5 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Player off an unchanged mark.
Faded as if needing it on this month's return; defied today's mark over 2m in early 2022..
3
7th (3) Ragamuffin (14/1 -300%)
Ragamuffin

14
14/1(-300%)
(3) Ragamuffin 14/1, Progressive hurdler who has taken well to fences, recording his third victory in 2m handicap at Newton Abbot in August. Returns from 7 months off now but still can't be ruled out.
First or second in all eight chase starts; stays further, and can go well after a break..
LTO Selection:

14:50 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

1st: 3.5/1 (3) RAGAMUFFIN 2nd: 4/1 (2) ELIOS D'OR 3rd: 12/1 (6) DINO VELVET

The consistent Ragamuffin has to be respected on his return to action, but preference is for ELIOS D'OR. Robert Walford's gelding won well over hurdles at Kempton and his subsequent defeat at Warwick can be forgiven, although he is 10lb higher back over fences here. Viva Lavilla should not be underestimated, while Dino Velvet is another who could make the frame.

SOMEKINDOFSTAR signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising fourth at Warwick after a lay-off so gets the nod at the chief expense of Elios d'Or, who can build on his recent third at the same track now reverted to this sphere. Ragamuffin is another who needs factoring in despite a lack of a recent run.

Doubts over most, but ELIOS D'OR's 4-8 record in class 4 handicap chases gets him the narrow verdict over the returning Ragamuffin.

(2) Kentford Mallard 7.5/1, Successful at Southwell off a 1 lb lower mark last summer and back to that sort of level when fifth of 13 at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt.
Under 1l second to Ratoute Yutty in this last year; solid run latest, and not ruled out..

Hey Frankie

8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(6) Hey Frankie 8.5/1, Runner-up 3 times over hurdles last summer and resumes in this sphere following a couple of low-key efforts in handicap chases since returning from a break in November. Not completely discounted off this reduced mark.
Interesting on seconds in 2m4f-2m7f hurdles off up to 7lb higher last summer (good)..

4th (1) Sadie Hill (6.5/1 -8%)
Sadie Hill

6.5/1(-8%)
(1) Sadie Hill 6.5/1, Belatedly off the mark when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Ffos Las (21.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and must enter calculations.
Just held on in a Ffos Las 0-110 latest (2m6f, good to soft); 3lb higher in a weaker race..
10
5th (10) Milanese Rose (4.5/1 +44%)
Milanese Rose

4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(10) Milanese Rose 4.5/1, Produced just about her best effort yet when runner-up at Plumpton (25f, good) in October but wasn't in the same form next time. Resumes here following a break of 6 months and sports a first-time tongue strap.
Near-2l fourth in this in 2022; 0-13 overall but more appeal than many; tongue-tie added..
7
6th (7) Gaia Vallis (5/1 -25%)
Gaia Vallis

5
5/1(-25%)
(7) Gaia Vallis 5/1, Scored a couple of times in 2021/22 and is in good form at present, seeing out the trip well when runner-up at Taunton (23.9f, soft, 13/2) a fortnight ago. Effective on good ground, too, and she's one to consider.
Taunton neck second latest (3m, soft); still 4lb below her last winning mark; chance..
11
7th (11) Div Ine Tara (5/1 +29%)
Div Ine Tara

5
5/1(+29%)
(11) Div Ine Tara 5/1, Made the frame on a couple of occasions in bumpers. Yet to better poor form over hurdles, held again at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago. Step up in trip could bring out some improvement.
Keeping-on Ludlow seventh latest over 2m5f, and looks ready for further now; down 2lb..
12
8th (12) Ratoute Yutty (11/1 +21%)
Ratoute Yutty

11
11/1(+21%)
(12) Ratoute Yutty 11/1, Both wins for her yard have come over C&D (including this race last year) under this rider. Recent efforts have been rather flat though, and her mark continues to fall as a result.
Won this off 7lb higher in 2022; struggling over this C&D and elsewhere since, however..
9
9th (9) Bean Norty (6/1 +33%)
Bean Norty

Frame finisher on both Irish point starts (soft); faded in a 2m4f hurdle here latest..
8

Giveusacuddle

(8) Giveusacuddle 25/1, Little to shout about in points/all 4 starts under Rules, possibly flattered when beaten 23½ lengths at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut but she's tough to warm to.
First hurdles completion latest, but mere replication of that form ought not suffice..
5
12th (5) First Venture (25/1 -108%)
First Venture

25
25/1(-108%)
(5) First Venture 25/1, Narrow winner of sole start between the flags but has shaped like one with problems under Rules. More like it when third in Stratford novice (16.3f, soft) 18 days ago and may well step forward again now handicapping upped in trip.
Showed a bit more latest (16.5f), and first return to 3m since point win offers some hope..
4
|PU| (4) Makety (40/1 -21%)
Makety

40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Makety 40/1, Landed a Worcester handicap chase in autumn 2021 but hasn't really built on that since and she's 0-15 in this sphere.
0-15 over hurdles and didn't pass stamina test at 3m latest; further still to travel here..
LTO Selection:

15:25 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 4/1 (7) GAIA VALLIS, 2nd: 8/1 (2) KENTFORD MALLARD, 3rd: 6/1 (1) SADIE HILL

Gaia Vallis was second by a neck last time at Taunton and was put up 2lb for that solid effort. She will face different conditions on this occasion, which could give a chance to MILANESE ROSE. The daughter of Milan ran well off this mark on her penultimate start at Plumpton and, if able to reproduce that level of form, she is likely to go very close. Sadie Hill and First Venture are others to watch out for.

GAIA VALLIS saw the 3m trip out with more conviction than had previously been the case when finishing runner-up at Taunton a fortnight ago, so David Bridgwater's 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better and continue her fine run of form. The main danger may emerge from Sadie Hill, who narrowly got off the mark at Ffos Las last month and should be competitive again from just a 3 lb higher mark. Div Ine Tara and Kentford Mallard can fight out third spot.

An open race, but as likely improvers for the step up to 3m, BEAN NORTY and Div Ine Tara are preferred in that order.

Surtitle

14
14/1(-40%)
(3) Surtitle 14/1, Newbury novice winner (16.3f) early last year who failed to kick on as expected in handicaps during light campaign last term. Did have heavy ground as a plausible excuse when last of 4 at Market Rasen (18.6f) in March and the handicapper has relinquished his grip.
Won on hurdle debut in early 2022 but didn't fire in handicaps last season.

Saturday Song

12
12/1(+14%)
(12) Saturday Song 12/1, Placed on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers for Gary Brown and stepped up on his hurdling debut form after 19 months off when second in Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f) in January. Not in same form either start since in handicaps but it does remain early days at least.
Promising second in 2m maiden in January but both handicap runs have been underwhelming.
2

Issar D'airy

4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Issar D'airy 4/1, Improved model switched to handicaps, overcoming a couple of untidy jumps when doubling his tally over extended 20f here 31 days ago, running on. 6 lb higher now but he may not of reached his limit yet.
Two wins this year, the latter here last month; latest 6lb rise ought to be manageable.

(4) Heros 8.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner in France in 2021. Runner-up in brace of handicaps for current yard this year before a below-par effort at Ludlow (21.2f) 38 days ago. Needs to resume his progress.
Came close to first British win in March but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort.

Very creditable second of 13 at Kempton last week; must be considered off same mark here.
7

Swapped

(7) Swapped 2.25/1, Fairly useful winner in bumpers who displayed signs of promise in trio of novice hurdles last season, no threat from some way out but considerately handled when midfield at Plumpton latterly. In leading hands and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping/following wind op. Interesting.
Shaped with promise in 2m novice hurdles last season; should improve in handicaps.

Gave very good account at Kempton recently and has each-way claims at least here.

Boreen Boy

18

(9) Boreen Boy 18/1, Off the mark over hurdles in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f)12 months ago and he's run to a similar level on 2 of his 3 starts since, fifth in a 7-runner novice here (15.8f) in March. Entitled to hold more chance back in handicaps. Back up in trip.
Yet to progress from his maiden win just over a year ago; needs to up his game.

Reams Of Love

100

(10) Reams Of Love 100/1, Fair performer on the Flat who opened his account over hurdles in 2m maiden at Stratford (2m) last June. Not so good thereafter, albeit yet to be asked for effort when falling 2 out back at that venue in October. Absent since.
Won Stratford maiden last summer; forecast rain a worry on this first start since October.
8

Phoenix Aquilus

33
33/1(-50%)
(8) Phoenix Aquilus 33/1, Fairly useful staying handicapper on Flat, successful twice in 2022. Ran poorly back over hurdles here (20.6f) in January but comes here fit from a respectable spin on the level at Bath (14f) 3 weeks ago. Could well have more to offer at this sort of trip back over timber.
Good third here (2m) on handicap hurdle but struggled when upped to 2m4f in January.
5
11th (5) Great Ocean (8/1 +11%)
Great Ocean

8
8/1(+11%)
(5) Great Ocean 8/1, Sole Rules success came over hurdles at Wincanton last January for Philip Hobbs. However, better signs of late for present yard, third back at that venue on penultimate run prior to a good second at Taunton (16.5f) 2 weeks ago. Should go well again in this groove.
Chasing didn't go to plan last season but he was placed twice over hurdles last month.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

1st: 6/1 (6) WILLIAM OF YORK. 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) ISSAR D'AIRY. 3rd: 4/1 (7) SWAPPED.

William Of York brought the double up at Huntingdon last time and was raised a further 5lb in the ratings for that victory, which may not be enough to stop him here. However, preference is for SWAPPED, who is returning from a break after having a wind operation and looks to have been given a workable opening mark, with the step up to this distance a possible source of improvement. Issar D'Airy, Great Ocean and Denable are other contenders to note.

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, SWAPPED didn't go without promise in a trio of novice hurdles last campaign and, with progress anticipated now handicapping for his powerful stable, he could well be worth chancing to come out on top following wind surgery. Great Ocean comes here on the back of solid placed efforts and is feared, with the hat-trick seeking William of York and Issar d'Airy others fancied to feature.

4lb lower than when second to a very well-handicapped rival in September, DENABLE (nap) and is due a 2lb rise for last week's good run.

(7) Doyens De Ante 1.88/1, Maiden hurdler but has taken well to chasing, opening his account at the fourth attempt with headgear refitted at Chepstow (26.2f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, seeing out the even longer trip thoroughly. 6 lb rise to contend with but should be in the shake-up. Engaged 6.15 Fontwell Wednesday.

8
8/1(+20%)
(9) Dorado Dollar 8/1, Long-standing maiden who appeared to excel himself from 5 lb out of weights when staying on strongly to take second late on at Warwick (3m) 2 weeks ago. Whether he'll be in the same form on this occasion is open to question, however.
Almost 30th time lucky at Warwick latest (3m, good); wouldn't be certain to back that up..

3rd (5) Aces Full (2.25/1 +18%)
Aces Full

2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(5) Aces Full 2.25/1, Modest form at best in Ireland for Patrick Breen and, easy to back, showed nothing on back of 16 months off when pulled up at Stratford (19.5f) in October. Absent again since and can only be watched unless market spoke in his favour.
Pulled up on stable debut last October (2m3.5f, good), his only outing in last two years..

4th (1) Tel'art (10/1 +9%)
Tel'art

10
10/1(+9%)
(1) Tel'art 10/1, Fair winner at 3¼m over hurdles for Ben Pauling and posted some respectable efforts in hunter chases for this yard last spring. Creditable second over hurdles here (25f) on penultimate start but turned in a lesser display back over fences at Stratford (27.5f) 18 days ago.
3m1f hurdles second off 5lb higher two runs back; chance, barring significant rain..

5th (8) Mix Master (28/1 -12%)
Mix Master

28
28/1(-12%)
(8) Mix Master 28/1, Unpromising in points and having offered little in trio of starts over hurdles, it was a similar story when falling on his chase debut at Ludlow (23.8f) in March. Good deal more needed.
Already beaten when a late faller returned to 3m at Ludlow latest; others more persuasive..

I'm A Starman

5/1(-25%)
(3) I'm A Starman 5/1, Dual hurdles winner who matched his previous best over fences when runner-up at Wincanton (25f) 25 days ago. No match for the winner then but he's undoubtedly a player with a repeat eased in grade.
Form of second in a Wincanton 0-110 last month already franked; player down in grade..

|PU| (2) Carrigeen Konini (8.5/1 +47%)
Carrigeen Konini

8.5
8.5/1(+47%)
(2) Carrigeen Konini 8.5/1, Modest maiden over hurdles in Ireland who was well held only start over fences at Thurles in January (albeit set a very stiff task). Similarly well held back over timber subsequently and more needed if she's to figure on handicap chase debut for new yard.
Inconsistent hurdler in Ireland latterly; out of a useful chaser, and that way hope lies..
4
|PU| (4) Sei Bella (33/1 -230%)
Sei Bella

33
33/1(-230%)
(4) Sei Bella 33/1, Modest form when successful in Exeter novice hurdle earlier in career but failed to progress from that thereafter and not a great deal of encouragement to glean from last month's belated return/C&D chase debut effort. Cheekpieces reached for now.
Not disgraced when last of five in a C&D mares' chase latest, but didn't stay; down 3lb..
LTO Selection:

16:30 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well from this summary as there is limited information on their recent form and performance. However, based on their recent races and potential, 2.25/1 (7) DOYENS DE ANTE and 4/1 (3) I'M A STARMAN seem like strong contenders for the top three positions. 11/1 (1) TEL'ART could also have a chance if there is no significant rain. Without more information, it is impossible to accurately predict the exact finishing order of the horses.

I'M A STARMAN returned to form when second at Wincanton last month and is feared with ground conditions likely to suit. Dorado Dollar is another boasting claims at this level, as he took a step in the right direction when finishing a neck second at Warwick last month. Of the others, Carrigeen Konini might be a bit of each-way value on her first start for Micky Hammond.

I'M A STARMAN returned to the pick of his chase form when runner-up at Wincanton 25 days ago and, with this ease in class an obvious plus, he earns the vote to open his account in this sphere. The participation of Doyen de Ante (due to run at Fontwell Wednesday) would put a different slant on things given the manner of his Chepstow success previously, however.

Second in a Wincanton 0-110 last time to a subsequent winner, I'M A STARMAN is chosen over Chepstow scorer Doyens De Ante.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Huntingdon NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 7/1 (7) WHATAWIT 2nd: 5.5/1 (9) BROOMHILL ROAD 3rd: 7.5/1 (11) LUCKY PLACE

Broomhill Road and Whatawit appeal most from those with previous experience and each are worth monitoring in the betting. However, there are a few interesting newcomers that appeal on pedigree, with HEAD OVER HINDS, whose dam won a bumper in Ireland before progressing to be a Grade 3 winner over hurdles, looking the most attractive proposition. He debuts for a yard in flying form and appears to have been found an ideal platform to launch his career. Potters Bishop is another compelling debutant.

MONTECAM is a half-brother to Altior among others and, while only sixth at Kempton on debut, the fact that he was sent off 9/4 looks significant. He might well be able to improve enough to open his account at the second attempt and he's marginally preferred to Broomhill Road, who made a pleasing start at Doncaster a couple of months ago. Lucky Place, a stablemate of the selection, is also worthy of consideration first time out.

Altior's half-brother MONTECAM arguably ran a bit better than the bare form suggests when sixth on his Kempton debut and gets the vote.

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.
