1st (4)  (4/1 -33%)Madiba Passion |
4/1(-33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Madiba Passion 4/1, Ran creditably twice prior to being pulled up at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. No surprise if he bounces back and experience should count for plenty. Not at best on latest outing but runner-up in two good-ground chases this year; respected. |
|||
2nd (3)  (1.5/1 +40%)Magistrato |
1.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magistrato 1.5/1, Fairly useful winning juvenile hurdler in 2021-22. Not in same form since but can't be ruled out starting out over fences in a race of this nature. Pulled up after racing too freely in both hurdles this year; looks risky on chase debut. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 +0%)Sofia's Rock |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sofia's Rock 20/1, Suited by sharp 2m at Market Rasen when notching third win of 2022 in a seller last August. Shaped as if better for run at Kempton last month and can't be completely dismissed on chase debut. Well beaten on both hurdling starts for stable; now makes rather belated chase debut. |
|||
|F| (2)  (1.25/1 -37%)Call Me Tara |
1.25/1(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Call Me Tara 1.25/1, Dual winner over hurdles who improved again when third in a novice at Ludlow last month. Should take to chasing and boasts solid claims. 2-4 in novice hurdles last season; should have improvement to come in handicap chases. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The fact Paul Nicholls is persevering with Magistrato could prove to be significant and the gelding might come into his own now he is sent chasing, while Call Me Tara returned from a 209-day break with a solid effort in a novices' hurdle at Ludlow last month and, with the tongue-tie retained, he might also find more now switched to the larger obstacles. However, MADIBA PASSION has an edge in terms of experience in this discipline and, getting weight from the rest, he is the percentage call.
CALL ME TARA has made an excellent start over hurdles and appeals as the type to be at least as good over fences, so she's preferred to Madiba Passion, who may well bounce back from a poor showing. Magistrato is also on the radar.

1st (2)  (2/1 +78%)Symphorine |
2/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Symphorine 2/1, Visored for first time when taking 7-runner novice selling hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, soft) last month. However, put in her place returned to handicap company next time and she's likely to find a few too good here, too. Won a seller last month but safely held in a subsequent handicap; others preferred. |
|||
2nd (4)  (11/1 +50%)Masked Dance |
11/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Masked Dance 11/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers and showed ability on hurdles bow when third of 11 in mares' maiden at Southwell in November. However, has failed to build on that since (unseated early on at Ludlow last time) and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Placed on hurdling debut in November but is yet to build on that performance. |
|||
3rd (8)  (3.5/1 -5%)Well Done Dani |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Well Done Dani 3.5/1, Placed 3 times during the autumn and improved when opening her account on the back of a break/wind op at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) last month. 5 lb rise isn't the end of the world and she will be a danger to all if able to build on that. Returned from break with a win last month and has pretty solid claims. |
|||
4th (11)  (9/1 +36%)Vision Of Hope |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Vision Of Hope 9/1, Won 2 of her 5 starts on the Flat for George Boughey but too headstrong on each of her 3 starts over hurdles, including on debut for this yard at Worcester recently. Will need to settle better if she's to make an impact on this handicap bow. Dual AW winner but has tended to race too freely over hurdles; handicap debut today. |
|||
5th (10)  (12/1 -260%)Only Fools |
12/1(-260%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Only Fools 12/1, Fair Flat winner in France who hasn't shown much in 3 starts over hurdles but improvement is likely now moving into handicap company off a lowly opening mark. One to monitor closely in the betting. Dual Flat winner in France; no hurdling promise as year but has lowly opening mark. |
|||
6th (1)  (12/1 -9%)Ayr Of Elegance |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ayr Of Elegance 12/1, Below par since landing an 18.7f Stratford handicap (good) last summer but has slipped back to that winning mark and drying ground in her favour. One to consider with last month's spin back at Stratford (first run for 6 months) under her belt. Ran okay last month, after a break, and is now back on her last winning mark. |
|||
7th (5)  (4/1 -60%)Qoya |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Qoya 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat for William Haggas (successful twice at up to 1¾m in 2022) and showed promise on hurdles bow at Ffos Las in January. No progress in 2 subsequent starts but this 4-y-o could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap in this sphere. Fairly useful Flat-racer; placed over C&D over hurdles; now makes handicap hurdle debut. |
|||
8th (7)  (22/1 +12%)Coastal Sun |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coastal Sun 22/1, Sole success from 9 hurdles starts was gained in a Ludlow claimer for Alastair Ralph in November and she was pulled up starting out for this yard at Fakenham last month. Since undergone a wind op. Won very modest claimer in the autumn but pulled up in a handicap on recent stable debut. |
|||
9th (6)  (25/1 -14%)Eventful |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eventful 25/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Plumpton early last year and added to her tally back from a break at Southwell (15.8f, good) in November. Struggled both runs since, though, and will need to bounce back if she's to have a say in the finish. Won in the autumn but below that form on both starts this year; back from break today. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (40/1 -150%)Ceci Wells |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ceci Wells 40/1, Little solid form on the level and has fared no better in 3 starts over hurdles. Needs to raise her game now tried in a handicap in this sphere. Made a lot of the running when fourth in Plumpon novice last month; handicap debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
QOYA has shown promise since switching codes and is taken to build on what was a highly encouraging effort when she finished third in a juvenile hurdle over C&D last time out. The terms of this race gives her a sound chance at the weights and a breakthrough success is a distinct possibility. Well Done Dani showed some improvement to win at Southwell on her first start back after a wind operation and is feared most. Ceci Wells and Ayr Of Elegance complete the shortlist.
QOYA and Only Fools are both of strong interest now handicapping in this sphere and, armed with their 4-y-o allowances, they could be the pair to focus on. Marginal preference is for the former, who did pretty well on the level for William Haggas last year and it was a decent mares' novice at Ffos Las in which she was fourth on her hurdles debut in January. Well Done Dani and Ayr of Elegance are others to consider.

1st (5)  (2/1 +27%)Sisterandbrother |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sisterandbrother 2/1, Fair winner on the Flat and offered encouragement when third in a novice at Wincanton 83 days ago. More to come with tongue tie now fitted and could land this. | |||
2nd (3)  (6/1 +14%)Fandabidozi |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fandabidozi 6/1, Modest staying handicapper on the Flat. Positive start over hurdles but will need to up his game to land this. | |||
3rd (6)  (40/1 +20%)Thorpeness |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Thorpeness 40/1, Has shown nothing in two bumpers and looks set for a struggle on first hurdles outing. Tongue tie goes on and has had a wind op. | |||
4th (7)  (10/1 +38%)Uggy Uggy Uggy |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uggy Uggy Uggy 10/1, Down the field in a bumper and a novice hurdle at Chepstow. Looks more of a handicap type. | |||
5th (2)  (7.5/1 +32%)Buxted Too |
7.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Buxted Too 7.5/1, Borderline useful Flat winner was easy to back and ran below that level on his belated return to hurdling at Worcester recently. Brought down at Aintree since and will need to improve if he's to feature. | |||
6th (9)  (6/1 -50%)Wolf Of Oxshott |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wolf Of Oxshott 6/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Third of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 21 days ago. Has a chance if he takes to hurdling. | |||
7th (4)  (50/1 +38%)Imperial Admiral |
50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Imperial Admiral 50/1, Pulled up both starts prior to unseating at Ludlow 9 days ago. Unlikely to feature. | |||
8th (1)  (3.5/1 +71%)Baileys Derbyday |
3.5/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Baileys Derbyday 3.5/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) and is a half-brother to useful hurdler Pilansberg. Not enough encouragement in a novice on hurdling debut at Worcester. | |||
9th (8)  (10/1 -264%)Love Mystery |
10/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Love Mystery 10/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good, 20/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Has joined a good NH yard and should make an impact. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LOVE MYSTERY was a maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding but dropped several hints that he has the ability to pay his way and looks an interesting recruit to the jumping scene. His yard has been back among the winners lately and this looks a good starting point for the son of Frankel's NH bow. Sisterandbrother would have something to find with the selection based on Flat ratings but looks a solid alternative given his previous hurdle experience. Fandabidozi is also considered.
SISTERANDBROTHER has already scored on the Flat and showed enough on his hurdling debut to think he can land this relatively weak race. Love Mystery makes plenty of appeal and Wolf of Oxshott can't be dmissed.

1st (6)  (3.5/1 +59%)Cloudy Wednesday |
3.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cloudy Wednesday 3.5/1, Got off the mark at Fakenham (21.2f) in February and made the frame in 4 of his next 5 starts. Needs to bounce back from below-par effort last time, however. In good form during the winter but has lost his way this spring; risky at present. |
|||
2nd (1)  (8/1 -191%)Out The Glen |
8/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Out The Glen 8/1, Three-time winner in 2021-22 and largely acquitted himself well in defeat last term. Never landed a blow on heavy ground at Uttoxeter latest but handicapper has cut him some slack and he could be a player in first-time cheekpieces. C&D winner last year but out of form lately and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (8)  (7/1 +86%)Guttural |
7/1(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Guttural 7/1, Point winner in April 2021 but he's 0-18 under Rules and is best watched from 5 lb out of the handicap. Pulled up after lacklustre performances on final two starts last season; 5lb wrong here. |
|||
4th (3)  (10/1 -18%)Stamina Chope |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stamina Chope 10/1, Now 5 lb lower than when scoring at Sedgefield (21f) last spring but is proving hard to catch right, beaten 3 out at Wincanton last time. Claims if on going day. Has very mixed record since small-field Sedgefield win last spring. |
|||
5th (5)  (4/1 -60%)Letsbe Avenue |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Letsbe Avenue 4/1, Quickly off the mark over jumps for this yard at Taunton (18.2f) in December, albeit rather fortunate. Been rather in and out since but far from disgraced at Ludlow latest and figures off a handy mark. Not one to rely upon heavy but won off today's mark last season and enters calculations. |
|||
6th (2)  (3.5/1 +30%)Lough Carra |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lough Carra 3.5/1, Plenty of size about him and finished runner-up 4 times during the autumn. Last couple of efforts were underwhelming but has experience in points and is worth monitoring in the market on chase debut. Consistent over hurdles last autumn but ran poorly last month, after a break; chase debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Glebe Road |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glebe Road 12/1, Winning pointer who was only modest at best over hurdles and has yet to make an impact in a trip of outings in this sphere. Didn't fire on either start for new stable towards end of last season. |
|||
8th (7)  (8/1 +27%)Agent Saonois |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Agent Saonois 8/1, Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (15.8f) last summer and ran to similar level when third in Taunton handicap chase (18.2f) in November. May have needed last month's Plumpton return but others more appealing. 4 lb out of the weights. Hurdle winner last summer but struggled in recent Plumpton chase and has a point to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Out The Glen is now just 1lb above his last winning mark, which came over C&D in March of last year. First-time cheekpieces could eke out some improvement, but a chance is taken on LETSBE AVENUE. Keiran Burke's charge has stamina to prove over this far, but he was successful from this mark at Taunton (2m2f) in December and that performance gave the impression he could have more to offer when stepped up in trip. Cloudy Wednesday is another to consider.
LETSBE AVENUE is back on his last winning mark and ran respectably at Ludlow last time. He gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. Out The Glen and Stamina Chope can also make their presence felt.

1st (4)  (1.38/1 +31%)Judicial Law |
1.38/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Judicial Law 1.38/1, Bounced back to form when taking 12-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, soft) 15 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and will be a player if handling these faster conditions. Bounced back to form at Worcester a fortnight ago and today's 5lb higher mark is workable. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 +59%)Scarpia |
4.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Scarpia 4.5/1, Won at Plumpton (25f) last year but been more miss than hit since and arrives on back of disappointing run at Wincanton last month. Creditable third over C&D in January but safely held twice since; can't be relied upon. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -80%)Caius Marcius |
6/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Caius Marcius 6/1, Admirable campaigner who made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts when narrowly taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft, 20/1) 26 days ago. Return to longer trip will suit and holds strong claims. Sprightly 12yo; returned from break to complete hat-trick last month; must be considered. |
|||
4th (3)  (10/1 -25%)Time To Tinker |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Time To Tinker 10/1, Three-time winner in 2021 but run poorly the last twice, latest when pulled up at Exeter in February. Goes well on quick ground, though, and has dropped to a handy mark. Seemingly back in form when fourth at Newbury but pulled up twice since; hard to predict. |
|||
5th (2)  (3.5/1 -17%)Ask A Honey Bee |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ask A Honey Bee 3.5/1, Back from 5 months off when creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 26 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Entitled to build on that and warrants respect. Ran big race when placed at Warwick last month and remains on a workable mark. |
|||
6th (6)  (25/1 -39%)Sammylou |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sammylou 25/1, Produced a career best when winning at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) in July but not matched that form in 4 outings since. Nicely treated if back on song following 6-month absence. Off since two heavy defeats in November but resumes on a good mark and can go well fresh. |
|||
|F| (7)  (18/1 +45%)Danny Whizzbang |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Danny Whizzbang 18/1, Won over fences here 13 months ago but not threatened since, including in this sphere the last twice. Hard to fancy. Began year with two poor performances; returns from three-month break today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Veteran CAIUS MARCIUS returned to action with a narrow success at Perth 26 days ago, bringing up his hat-trick in the process. The 12-year-old was raised 2lb for that win, but Conor Rabbitt's claim means he's technically 5lb lower today and the son of King's Theatre gets the nod once again. Recent Worcester scorer Judicial Law appeals as the most likely danger, while Ask A Honey Bee completes the shortlist.
CAIUS MARCIUS boasts an excellent record at this sort of trip and remains fairly treated after his recent Perth victory. He can score again. Ask A Honey Bee and Time To Tinker are feared most.

1.88/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kaproyale 1.88/1, Prolific winning pointer who posted creditable second of 5 in hunter chase (8/1) at Stratford (22.6f, soft) 30 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims. 8-11 in points; very respectable second when back under rules last month; likely contender. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7.5/1 +70%)Dunworley |
7.5/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dunworley 7.5/1, Getaway gelding. Brother to fair 3m hunter chase winner Dundaniel. Made the frame in several points and worth monitoring in the market on Rules debut. 0-6 in points and looks up against it on today's rules debut. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/1 +44%)Desire De Joie |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Desire De Joie 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at his best but below par at Cheltenham latest. Back in calmer waters here, though, and could be a player. Well beaten at Cheltenham this month but this is easier; strong claims on best 2022 form. |
|||
4th (8)  (4/1 +38%)The Whistle Blower |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Whistle Blower 4/1, Twice successful in points this year but is yet to complete after 3 attempts under Rules, folding early in straight at Cheltenham earlier this month. Front-runner; ran well for a long way in competitive 4m Cheltenham hunter chase this month. |
|||
|F| (4)  (18/1 -64%)Just Cause |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Cause 18/1, Won several times between the flags and posted good second in this contest last year. More recent efforts in points have been underwhelming, though. 12 point wins; second in this race last year; out of form in recent points, though. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (4.5/1 -125%)Homme D'un Soir |
4.5/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Homme D'un Soir 4.5/1, Pretty useful for Stuart Crawford, making a winning chase debut in a maiden at Roscommon (2m) in August. Still in the hunt when departing on yard debut at Stratford in March and must enter calculations. Useful hurdler in his prime and ran big race in defeat in recent open point; considered. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (16/1 +0%)Mr Snuffles |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mr Snuffles 16/1, Winner of Point in February and shaped quite well (made significant error 4 out) on hunter chase debut at Cheltenham last spring. Percentage call is to look elsewhere, though. Five-time point winner; has suffered a significant dip in form in recent weeks. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HOMME D'UN SOIR looked to hold every chance when falling three out at Stratford on his stable debut in March and he can gain compensation on this occasion. Going further up in trip should not inconvenience him and he is preferred to Kaproyale, the selection's stable companion who is entitled to be thereabouts after a respectable second at Stratford. Keep an eye on Just Cause too.
KAPROYALE gets the vote after a good second at Stratford. Stablemate Homme d'Un Soir might be the danger.

7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Enthused 7.5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who boasts some decent bits and pieces of form in this sphere, including when fourth in a 9-runner Fakenham handicap (2½m, good) a fortnight ago. Each-way chance off the same mark here. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well when fourth at Fakenham this month; a possible. |

3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Red Force One 3.5/1, Best part of 3 years have passed since latest success over hurdles but won 3 times on the Flat in 2022 and latest fifth of 13 at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) came in a higher-grade handicap than this. Eased 3 lb since and moving back up in trip looks a good move. Kept on for very respectable fifth in better race than this at Cheltenham last month. |

3rd (4)  (5.5/1 -22%)Pass The Love On |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pass The Love On 5.5/1, Showed fair form when runner-up on second outing in bumpers and promise on each of her three starts over hurdles. Jumping needs to improve but she's a notable handicap debutant. Not beaten far in any of three qualifying runs and open to improvement in handicaps. |
|||
4th (8)  (1.88/1 +37%)Dellboy Trotter |
1.88/1(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dellboy Trotter 1.88/1, Recorded back-to-back handicap wins at Market Rasen in June last year. Not at his best first 2 starts since returning from a break in April but recent second at Ludlow (21.2f, good) was a step back in the right direction and a bold show is anticipated. Consistent since his two wins last June and was clear second off this mark last week. |
|||
5th (1)  (25/1 -194%)Appreciate |
25/1(-194%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Appreciate 25/1, Rattled off a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles last spring/summer and added to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.7f, good to soft) in September. However, well held last 2 starts and will probably need the run on the back of a 7-month absence. Won five times in early part of last season; can feature if tuned up after layoff. |
|||
6th (7)  (9/1 +25%)Land Of My Delight |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Land Of My Delight 9/1, Fair maiden who returned to form when fifth in big-field Taunton handicap (19f, good to soft) in November, coming from a long way back having nearly come down early on. However, ran no sort of a race next time at Hereford (in January) and absent since. Absent since struggling on soft ground in January; best watched unless lively in betting. |
|||
7th (2)  (12/1 -60%)Groom De Cotte |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Groom De Cotte 12/1, Several creditable efforts in handicaps at up to 21.6f during the winter but has yet to get his head in front and was well below that level on return from 3-month absence at Southwell. Well handicapped on some of last season's form but didn't fire last time and is now 0-8. |
|||
8th (5)  (8/1 +27%)Perryville |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Perryville 8/1, Fair form at best in maiden/novice hurdles and no real progress switched to handicaps the last twice, albeit the drop in trip was against him at Southwell (15.8f, soft) latest. Likely to find one or two too good. Safely held at Southwell last month and now 0-7; others preferred. |
|||
9th (9)  (66/1 -32%)Cheer's Delboy |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cheer's Delboy 66/1, Long-standing maiden who looks set for another struggle from 9 lb out of the handicap. Longstanding maiden who has struggled on all three starts this spring; 9lb wrong today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top three are 1.88/1 (8) DELLBOY TROTTER, 3.5/1 (3) RED FORCE ONE, and 7.5/1 (6) ENTHUSED. 1.88/1 (8) DELLBOY TROTTER has been consistent and showed improvement in his recent race, while 3.5/1 (3) RED FORCE ONE has been competitive in higher-grade handicaps and has been eased in weight for this race. 7.5/1 (6) ENTHUSED is a notable handicap debutant and has shown promise in her three starts over hurdles. However, as with any horse race, there is always the possibility of unexpected outcomes.
DELLBOY TROTTER ran a cracker when not beaten far in second at Ludlow and the booking of Harry Cobden could well help him go one better today. Tracey Leeson's charge should be suited by the drop back in trip and he can see off the likes of Pass The Love On and Enthused, who arguably posted a career-best effort when a close-up fourth at Fakenham earlier in the month.
A chance is taken on RED FORCE ONE, who acquitted himself well enough in a stronger handicap than this at Cheltenham last month to suggest that he could take advantage of this career-low hurdles mark in a race of this nature. Dellboy Trotter returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Ludlow recently and is a big threat with Harry Cobden up, while Enthused and handicap debutante Pass The Love On are both worth a second look.

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.
