The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Rhebus Road 5/1, Fairly useful Flat performer (won Newmarket handicap final start for Ralph Beckett) and progressed from hurdles debut when runner-up at Fontwell in November. Failed to repeat that effort on Taunton handicap debut but may have benefited from a break.
4
2nd (4) (0.8/1 +12%) Saligo Bay
0.8
0.8/1(+12%)
(4) Saligo Bay 0.8/1, Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat. Had been proving expensive to follow over hurdles but got the job done in 6-runner maiden (8/13) at Plumpton (15.9f, good) 18 days ago. Opening mark looks very fair and can follow up.
1
3rd (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Technological
7.5
7.5/1(-15%)
(1) Technological 7.5/1, Useful at best on the Flat up to 2m and got off the mark over hurdles in a 3-runner event at Exeter in April. Not in the same form under a penalty at Kempton 8 days later, though perhaps found it coming too soon.
2
4th (2) (7.5/1 +32%) Let Me Be
7.5
7.5/1(+32%)
(2) Let Me Be 7.5/1, Dual-bumper winner back in 2019. Prolific on the level more recently but was pulled up back hurdling for new stable in 19f Warwick handicap 2 weeks ago, having suffered irregular heartbeat. Looks risky on the back of that.
3
5th (3) (6.5/1 -63%) Daniel Deronda
6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(3) Daniel Deronda 6.5/1, Showed more like his fairly useful Flat form tried in a tongue tie when second in 15.8f novice at Southwell in March. Couldn't repeat that effort back there last time, however. so has a bit to prove on handicap debut. Hood back on.
LTO Selection:

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(8) Ratoute Yutty 6.5/1, Finally snapped a long losing when taking similar C&D contest in March but not so good back off this mark at Southwell.
5

7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(5) Kentford Mallard 7.5/1, Held her form well in the spring/summer last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Better for Plumpton return 18 days ago and one to note in re-fitted cheekpieces.
2
3rd (2) (16/1 +0%) Czech Her Out
16
16/1(+0%)
(2) Czech Her Out 16/1, Won at Worcester (23f) last summer and should find another opening in the coming months. First start since October.
10
4th (10) (7/1 +56%) Milanese Rose
7
7/1(+56%)
(10) Milanese Rose 7/1, Maiden and cheekpieces didn't bring about improvement when modest fourth at Stratford 6 weeks ago. More needed.
9
5th (9) (10/1 -43%) Songbird's Tale
10
10/1(-43%)
(9) Songbird's Tale 10/1, Off the mark on second handicap start at Hexham (23.3f) in March. Made hard work of it when third at Newcastle next time but probably remains in form.
4
6th (4) (5/1 +17%) Sindabella
5
5/1(+17%)
(4) Sindabella 5/1, Excuses at Taunton last time and had previously been in good form there. Tongue tie goes on and one of the likelier winners if all is well.
6
7th (6) (3.33/1 +26%) Achy Breaky Heart
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(6) Achy Breaky Heart 3.33/1, Three-time winner over staying trips last season, including here over fences. Yard going well again on return and one to note back hurdling.

8th (1) (33/1 -32%) Viking Ruby
33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Viking Ruby 33/1, Off the track since finishing well held at Taunton in December but figures on a good mark if ready to roll.
11
9th (11) (9/1 +44%) Telefina
9
9/1(+44%)
(11) Telefina 9/1, Poor maiden hurdler who ran a moody race back in this sphere at Ludlow a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces go on.
7
|PU| (7) (12/1 -140%) Tanora
12
12/1(-140%)
(7) Tanora 12/1, Back to form in first-time blinkers when second at Sedgefield (27f) 6 weeks ago, taking a keen hold. Another change of headgear here and could figure.
3
|PU| (3) (28/1 -211%) Dancing Dani
28
28/1(-211%)
(3) Dancing Dani 28/1, Modest form at best over hurdles, may have run with credit had she stood up at Chepstow last time. Her mark has fallen and she could find a race.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Malina Jamila 0.3/1, Stepped up on previous efforts when 40/1 winner of a listed bumper here in December. Back to a similar level when fourth in Grade 2 Nickel Coin at Aintree last time and of obvious interest on hurdle debut. Engaged 2.25 Newton Abbot Wednesday.
4
2nd (4) (3.5/1 -27%) Tiger Orchid
3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(4) Tiger Orchid 3.5/1, Dual bumper winner last summer. Didn't take to hurdling first 2 starts but may do better now returning from a break.
3
3rd (3) (20/1 -122%) The Bold Thady
20
20/1(-122%)
(3) The Bold Thady 20/1, Milan gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Miles To Milan. Needed experience in a Hereford bumper on debut 32 days ago.
1
|PU| (1) (14/1 -115%) Feast
14
14/1(-115%)
(1) Feast 14/1, Walk In The Park gelding who caught the eye when fifth on debut at Southwell, finishing with running left. However, below that level both outings subsequently, including after a breathing op/11 weeks off last time. Tongue strap added for hurdles debut.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Grisbi De Berce 1.25/1, Low-mileage 2m hurdle winner who again caught the eye in the Imperial Cup at Sandown final start. Likely contender if taking to fences at the first attempt.
6
2nd (6) (14/1 -17%) Somekindofstar
14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Somekindofstar 14/1, Record mixed over fences last term but back to best to score at Fakenham (16.2f) in January. Poor efforts at Sandown/Newbury subsequently, though latest fourth of 5 at Kempton was at least a step back in the right direction.
5
3rd (5) (2.25/1 +10%) One For Billy
2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(5) One For Billy 2.25/1, Justified support returned to chasing to record a first success in almost 4 years at Warwick 2 weeks ago, seeming suited by the switch to front-running tactics, and remains potentially well treated on old form.
1
4th (1) (8.5/1 -31%) Caddyhill
8.5
8.5/1(-31%)
(1) Caddyhill 8.5/1, Made successful chase debut for new yard at Sedgefield in September. Mostly disappointing since, however, so needs to bounce back.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -113%) Larch Hill
16
16/1(-113%)
(2) Larch Hill 16/1, Improved for the switch to this yard, winning twice in the autumn. Below par when bidding for the hat-trick at Wetherby in October and not seen since.
7
6th (7) (7.5/1 +46%) Bannister
7.5
7.5/1(+46%)
(7) Bannister 7.5/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner but struggled last season, including over fences.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Nazwa 4.5/1, Good efforts 2 of 3 starts in handicap hurdles, including back from 4 months off/wind op at Warwick (2m) last time. Cheekpieces go on with stamina to prove for this longer trip.
4
2nd (4) (3/1 +65%) Benandgone
3
3/1(+65%)
(4) Benandgone 3/1, Proving consistent over hurdles, finishing in the frame in novices on his last 3 starts. One to note on handicap debut.
7
3rd (7) (4.5/1 +55%) San Pedro De Senam
4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(7) San Pedro De Senam 4.5/1, Ran respectably without ever looking like winning here last time. His mark has fallen further.
2
4th (2) (5.5/1 +66%) Hazard Collonges
5.5
5.5/1(+66%)
(2) Hazard Collonges 5.5/1, Showed some promise in maiden/novice hurdles late last year and improved to finish close-up third on handicap debut at Kempton (21f) in February. Fell early at Southwell next time and back from a break now.
1
5th (1) (2.2/1 +60%) Forever Des Long
2.2
2.2/1(+60%)
(1) Forever Des Long 2.2/1, Been in good form at Market Rasen under this rider, off the mark in March and unlucky to bump into a very well-handicapped one 36 days ago. Up 4 lb and can figure.
8
6th (8) (125/1 -25%) Style Council
125
125/1(-25%)
(8) Style Council 125/1, Yet to trouble the judge after 5 attempts and can only be watched from so far out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Tea For Free 2.75/1, 7-y-o who ran up to his best over hurdles when second of 8 at Southwell (24.2f) early last month, keeping on without threatening the winner. Rates an interesting chasing debutant given his background (won sole start in points).
6
2nd (6) (12/1 +0%) Clear On Top
12
12/1(+0%)
(6) Clear On Top 12/1, No better than midfield in bumpers/over hurdles and he's yet to fare any better for switch to larger obstacles, merely passing beaten rivals when midfield at Wincanton (20f) in March. Mark has eased a little more at least.
5
3rd (5) (28/1 -100%) Canastero
28
28/1(-100%)
(5) Canastero 28/1, Handicap hurdle winner at Stratford in October but form has seemingly tailed off and he never figured on chase debut at Exeter (24.2f) last month. Cheekpieces go on now.
3
4th (3) (1.88/1 -71%) Thundersockssundae
1.88
1.88/1(-71%)
(3) Thundersockssundae 1.88/1, Confirmed more positive signs over shorter here in March when running out a good winner of a C&D handicap 18 days ago. Handicapper has reacted but still low-mileage as a chaser and fancied to feature again.
1
5th (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Le Grand Lion
3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(1) Le Grand Lion 3.5/1, Fair hurdler who got off the mark on handicap debut in that sphere at this venue (25f) on Boxing Day. Possibly overdid forcing tactics at Market Rasen (23f) and interesting what the market makes of him now chasing.
7
6th (7) (12/1 -41%) Pakie's Dream
12
12/1(-41%)
(7) Pakie's Dream 12/1, Yet to score over fences and he was operating below best earlier this year, beating only one home in 8-runner course handicap (19.8f) in March. Short break needs to have perked him up.
4
|PU| (4) (10/1 +50%) Kenyan Cowboy
10
10/1(+50%)
(4) Kenyan Cowboy 10/1, Point winner who made hard work of belatedly shedding maiden tag over hurdles at Chepstow (19.5f) in November. More miss than hit subsequently, pulled up last 2 starts earlier this year. Does return with yard amongst the winners, however. Chase debut.
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.
(1) Dominic's Fault 1.38/1, £160,000 3-y-o, Camelot gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Game, stays 21f,. Dam 1¼m winner. Newcomers from yard often fancied.
5
1st (5) (0.83/1 +70%) Diamond Egg
0.83
0.83/1(+70%)
(5) Diamond Egg 0.83/1, Showed plenty of ability when fifth in Cheltenham listed bumper on debut on New Year's Day and matched that level when third at Kempton (2m) in March. Experience should count for a good deal here. Respected.
7
2nd (7) (100/1 -150%) Solid Fuel
100
100/1(-150%)
(7) Solid Fuel 100/1, Oasis Dream gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Topkapi Star, stays 2½m. Green when last of 4 on debut in a Fontwell bumper (13.7f) 4 weeks ago. Passed over here.
4
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +72%) Commanding View
2.5
2.5/1(+72%)
(4) Commanding View 2.5/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Pull Again Green and fair 2m hurdle winner. Dam lightly raced in points.
8
4th (8) (16/1 +52%) Zuul
16
16/1(+52%)
(8) Zuul 16/1, Black Sam Bellamy colt. Easy to back and raced freely when 16 lengths sixth of 9 on debut in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.
2
5th (2) (4.5/1 +50%) Maybe Dark
4.5
4.5/1(+50%)
(2) Maybe Dark 4.5/1, Malinas gelding. Dam maiden pointer. Represents yard who enjoy plenty of success in this sphere and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively.
6
6th (6) (33/1 +34%) Ha'an
33
33/1(+34%)
(6) Ha'an 33/1, Black Sam Bellamy colt who was sent off at 20/1 and ultimately shaped as if in need of the experience when last of 9 in a Southwell bumper on debut in April. Should know more now.
(3) Le Breuil 0.8/1, Hasn't won a race of any description for 3 years but his Aintree Foxhunters' fourth (first-time tongue tie) is clearly the best bit of recent form on offer and the longer trip will suit. Obvious claims if ready to go (reluctant start at Aintree).
1
2nd (1) (1.88/1 +32%) Green Winter
1.88
1.88/1(+32%)
(1) Green Winter 1.88/1, Prolific point winner off the mark in hunters here a year ago. Won again between the flags 17 days ago.

7
7/1(+42%)
(2) Ange Des Malberaux 7/1, Won 5 times (including 4 handicap chases) for Dan Skelton in 2018/19. Just third of 4 in point latest start and more needed.

4th (4) (20/1 +70%) Threapwood
20
20/1(+70%)
(4) Threapwood 20/1, Modest maiden hunter in May 2015. Multiple point winner, unraced since May 2017.

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.
