Immortal Fame

6
6/1(-20%)
(5) Immortal Fame 6/1, Successful 3 times during 2021/22 campaign and built on a good reappearance second at Chepstow in October to get his head back in front at Doncaster (21f, good) last month, edging out the reopposing Burrows Hall by a neck. Unlikely to be much between them again.
In-form contender this autumn, so he should be on the premises if he goes on the ground.

Unseated in hat-trick bid; requires improvement on hurdles form but needs considering.

(9) Burrows Hall 10/3, Carlisle winner in the spring and has returned with good placed efforts at Carlisle (17f, soft) and Doncaster (21f; beaten neck by Immortal Fame) in recent months. Bold show on the cards.
Up 2lb but his stable has hit winning form and he gives them another good chance.

(4) Edison Kent 11/1, Runner-up twice over hurdles at Worcester in September. Respectable third in a Fakenham handicap chase latest but again looked less than straightforward. Should figure but doubts about his attitude temper enthusiasm. Has had wind surgery.
Competitive this autumn; given wind surgery after latest run; lots to prove on soft/heavy.

(11) Lifetime Legend (12/1 -20%)
Lifetime Legend

12
12/1(-20%)
(11) Lifetime Legend 12/1, Built on early promise to break his duck in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February. Has dropped below that winning mark but hasn't really been showing enough to suggest he's ready to take advantage, beaten 13 lengths when third in small field at Uttoxeter latest.
1-27; third on both his starts this autumn but needs to better that form.

(8) Awesome Foursome 13/2, Latest win in hurdle at Perth in September. Good second at Ludlow (3m) next time but needs to shrug off a poor run at Uttoxeter since.
11l win at Perth (2m4f, heavy; up 7lb today) in September; disappointing on heavy latest.

(6) Saturday Song 14/1, Got back on track when second of 11 over a slightly shorter trip here in May but added to his patchy record when down the field at Market Rasen in July. Given a break since and has run some of his best races when fresh.
0-8 but pipped here (2m3f, good) in May; off since running as if something amiss in July.

Well beaten both starts this autumn and needs to resume last season's improvement.

Kiss My Face

8.5

(10) Kiss My Face 17/2, Winning hurdler who arrives on the back of a good second of 11 on the Flat at Southwell 16 days ago. Needs considering.
He looks in good order but there is more for him to prove given his record on soft ground.

Samtara

(2) Samtara 18/1, Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle at Hereford in March and backed that up with a fine second at Cheltenham (17f) in April. His run of good form came to an abrupt halt at Worcester in May, though, and off since (has had wind surgery).
Did well under Harry Atkins in February-April; badly hampered in May latest; wind op since.
LTO Selection:

11:55 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Representing the in-form Tom Lacey yard, IMMORTAL FAME gained a fourth victory over hurdles when dictating the pace at Doncaster last month. A 3lb rise looks workable for the the seven-year-old, with Cameron Iles' 8lb claim likely to prove a big help, and he is taken to go in again. Although Saturday Song suffered from post-race ataxia when down the field on his reappearance at Market Rasen in July, he should appreciate this stiffer test of stamina and isn't discounted. Awesome Foursome isn't one to write off yet either.

Sue Smith's BURROWS HALL might be able to turn around last month's Doncaster placings with Immortal Fame and land a second career success. Kiss My Face, who won a Catterick handicap hurdle last winter prior to racking up a hat-trick on AW Flat in the spring, arrives fit from another good effort on the Flat and also makes the shortlist.

Testing ground is in the offing and BURROWS HALL (nap) presents the strongest claims. His stable was 2-2 with its runners on Thursday.

(1) Balhambar 5/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, probably stays 2m, creditable effort last time. Possesses the raw ability ti be a big factor now hurdling.
Fairly useful 1m2f winner who appears to stay at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good.

Royal Thunder

5/1(-43%)
(7) Royal Thunder 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who made a pleasing-enough start to his hurdling career when third at Uttoxeter in October. Unseated fifth at Ascot since and this will reveal more in a weaker race.
Uttoxeter third is the best hurdling form in this field; unseated latest; now tongue tied.

Kotari

(5) Kotari 6/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 10.5f), left Jean-Claude Rouget/off 12 months before promising effort at Windsor. Failed to get home on hurdles debut at Fontwell (17.7f) and slight drop in trip can only help.
Fair Flat maiden; prominent in betting for Fontwell hurdle debut (heavy) but beaten 54l.

Fell at the third on hurdle debut but very much one to note judged on Huntingdon bumpers.

Modest Flat winner; about 19l fourth of eight in novice at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy).

Ran just once for Willie Mullins, when disappointing favourite for bumper in April 2022.

Now tongue tied; needs a transformation on this third outing over hurdles.
LTO Selection:

12:25 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TARAS HALLS comes with risk attached having come to grief at the third flight on his hurdles debut at Wetherby last month. Nevertheless, Sue Smith's charge posted some creditable efforts in bumpers last season and he looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature if putting it all together. Balhambar is a useful performer on the Flat and the four-year-old warrants respect if taking to this new discipline, while Royal Thunder is also worth a second look.

Stamina won't be an issue for BALHAMBAR switched to hurdling, and given his Flat ability, he may well outclass these if taking to this new discipline. Kotari, Royal Thunder and Taras Halls head the opposition.

He was an early faller 11 days ago but TARAS HALLS receives the vote nevertheless, given his bumper performances at this track.

Junkanoo

0.444444

(3) Junkanoo 4/9, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who scored at Windsor (10f) in May. Made a promising start in this sphere when second of 4 in conditions event at Ascot (15.7f, good) 16 days ago so rates a big player in this grade.
Pretty useful on Flat up to 1m3f; strong claims after his 40-1 second of four at Ascot.

(7) Schmilsson (7/1 -17%)
Schmilsson

7
7/1(-17%)
(7) Schmilsson 7/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding. Off 13 months and has shown some promise in two runs over hurdles for his new yard, hooded when seventh a Lingfield 10 days ago. Considered.
Fairly useful 1m2f Flat winner; 19l third at Stratford but not so good ten days ago.
6
(6) Pearl Island (12/1 -20%)
Pearl Island

12
12/1(-20%)
(6) Pearl Island 12/1, Shaped well when placed in a pair of bumpers and also on his hurdling bow after 6 months off when fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter novice 22 days ago. This drop in trip is uncertain to suit though.
19l fourth of 7 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy); should build on that but others appeal more.
9
(9) Sammy's Guarantee (14/1 -20%)
Sammy's Guarantee

14
14/1(-20%)
(9) Sammy's Guarantee 14/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers. Has shown ability when in mid-field in a pair of novice hurdles this autumn at Ludlow and Taunton. Shortlisted.
Third start over hurdles, needing much better; tongue tied latest and now hooded as well.
5
(5) One Eye On Vegas (16/1 -14%)
One Eye On Vegas

16
16/1(-14%)
(5) One Eye On Vegas 16/1, Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but only modest form shown after a long absence in a pair of novice hurdles at Carlisle and Warwick recently. Needs a big step forward.
Third in bumper here (2m, soft) in March 2021; well beaten twice over hurdles this autumn.
8
(8) Sunset In Paris (22/1 -10%)
Sunset In Paris

22
22/1(-10%)
(8) Sunset In Paris 22/1, Poor maiden on the Flat but he hinted at promise on his hurdling bow when fifth in 2m Worcester maiden in June. No forlorn hope back in this sphere.
Flat maiden; sole run over hurdles, in a Worcester maiden in June, was also modest form.

(1) Ballynaheer (28/1 -12%)
Ballynaheer

28

(1) Ballynaheer 28/1, Mahler gelding who finished runner-up on his completed outing in points and ridden with an eye on the future when seventh on hurdling debut at Chepstow (16f, heavy) last month. Likely to need more time.
Some promise at Chepstow (2m, heavy); non-runner there yesterday.

Tailed off in bumper at Newbury (good to soft) and novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good).

(2) Blow Your Horn (40/1 -21%)
Blow Your Horn

40
40/1(-21%)
(2) Blow Your Horn 40/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) who recorded a hat-trick in the summer. Off nearly 3 months before a never-dangerous tenth on his hurdles debut at Hereford 19 days ago but remains with potential.
Fairly useful Flat stayer; however, 28-1 for hurdling debut at Hereford and beaten 91l.
LTO Selection:

12:55 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JUNKANOO impressed with how he travelled when second in a decent contest on his hurdles bow at Ascot last month and a similar level of performance should be enough for the six-year-old to open his account here. Schmilsson didn't quite progress as hoped when only seventh at Lingfield recently, but the sharper nature of this course may enable an improved bid. Olly Murphy's gelding is feared most, ahead of Pearl Island, who is entitled to build on his Uttoxeter fourth in November.

JUNKANOO rates the clear pick on the form of his hurding debut second at Ascot so this fairly useful Flat winner looks very much the way to go. Both Schmilsson and Sammy's Guarantee have gone with some promise in this sphere and can chase home Gary Moore's 6-y-o in that order.

This looks all about JUNKANOO who ran well on soft ground on the Flat in October and put up a bold show on his hurdling debut at Ascot.

Karaktere D'Enfer

(3) Karaktere D'Enfer 5/4, Close second of 11 to a useful sort in a newcomers races at Fontainebleau in March. Not beaten far when last of 3 on Doncaster British debut last month and he sets the standard here. Tongue tied first time.
His French effort reads well and he's likely to improve on his close third at Doncaster.

(6) Whispering Royal 10/3, Fair Flat winner who made a sound start to his hurdle career when third of 11 at Wincanton at the end of October. Likely improver.
Flat winner; no match for the front two at Wincanton but that was a respectable run.

(1) Cannon Rock (15/8 +16%)
Cannon Rock

1.875
15/8(+16%)
(1) Cannon Rock 15/8, Won a Newmarket maiden over 1¼m for Charlie Appleby in autumn 2022. Not seen since, and new connections picked him up for only 16,000 gns this autumn, but market strength would still look significant for yard which has the smart Burdett Road to compare him to.
Won a weak maiden for Godolphin; has joined an up-and-coming yard for his jumps career.

(5) Truth Will Out (16/1 -60%)
Truth Will Out

16
16/1(-60%)
(5) Truth Will Out 16/1, Modest form in 3 Flat starts over the summer. Worth a betting check now hurdling but Whispering Royal probably the stable first string here.
Comfortably beaten in his three Flat runs from 1m2f to 1m4f.
9

Clenched

40
40/1(-21%)

Flat maiden whose BHA mark spiralled from 71 to 47 after six heavy defeats in handicaps.
8
(8) All Blues (66/1 -32%)
All Blues

66
66/1(-32%)

4
(4) Sir Cilia (66/1 -32%)
Sir Cilia

66
66/1(-32%)

7
(7) Wilpena Pound (66/1 -32%)
Wilpena Pound

66
66/1(-32%)

12-race Flat with a basement handicap mark and it's impossible to make any case.
LTO Selection:

13:25 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A winner at Newmarket on his last start on the level for Charlie Appleby in October 2022, CANNON ROCK looks a shrewd recruit to the James Owen stable and this appears a winnable contest on his hurdles bow. The son of Fastnet Rock can get the better of French recruit Karaktere D'enfer, who performed with credit on his UK debut when not beaten far at Doncaster, while Whispering Royal is open to improvement as well.

Although French-recruit KARAKTERE D'ENFER was last of 3 on his British debut he wasn't beaten far and it was probably a decent race so he's the one to beat. Alan King's Whispering Royal made a sound start to his hurdle career when third at Wincanton and can give the selection most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding James Owen's Cannon Rock.

This has the look of a decidedly weak maiden and it's probably at the mercy of KARAKTERE D'ENFER after two pleasing efforts.

5/2(-33%)
(1) Edwardstone 5/2, Likeable sort who won the Arkle at the 2022 Festival and showed top-class form when a commanding winner of the Tingle Creek on last season's reappearance. Beaten by Jonbon in Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month but longer trip here should suit and he sets the standard. Engaged Sandown 3.00 Saturday.

Rallied for third in the Old Roan and now better off at the weights with Jetoile.

(6) First Flow (11/4 +31%)
First Flow

2.75
11/4(+31%)
(6) First Flow 11/4, Won this race in 2021 and is still capable of high-class form despite his advancing years, as evidenced by his fine second in an Ascot handicap (16.8f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Sound claims in receipt of weight from most of his rivals.
Won this 2021, third 2022; lots to like about Ascot return over trip now short of his best.

(3) Jetoile 12/1, Ended last season on the upgrade, winning 2 handicaps at Chepstow in good style before making a winning return in an albeit messy renewal of the Old Roan Chase. Is going the right way but will need his biggest step forward yet to score here.
Career best in winning the Old Roan; not weighted to confirm placings with Al Dancer.
2
(2) Janidil (13/8 +35%)
Janidil

1.625
13/8(+35%)
(2) Janidil 13/8, High-class chaser landed the Red Mills Chase at Gowran last season and looked the likely winner when taking a late fall in his attempt to win back-to-back Fairyhouse Chases later in the year. Shaped as if better for the run behind Allaho at Clonmel on return and he's a leading player.
Ran as well as could be expected on return; major form claims if cutting out the mistakes.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Huntingdon Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This can go the way of Irish raider JANIDIL, who should come on plenty for his recent return in the Clonmel Oil Chase behind stablemate Allaho. The nine-year-old has performed well at the top level in recent years and he would have landed a similar Grade 2 at Fairyhouse in April but for falling at the last. Compensation could await now and he is preferred to First Flow, who won this contest in 2021 and returned with a fine effort at Ascot last month. Edwardstone ran well when chasing home Jonbon in the Tinge Creek on Saturday and he would be a big player if turned out again quickly here.

EDWARDSTONE made a satisfactory return behind Jonbon at Cheltenham last month, all the while whilst looking as if his future may lie over this kind of intermediate trip, so he gets the nod if taking up his engagement here rather than in the Tingle Creek. Irish-raider Janidil had a tough task against Allaho last time but can score here if Edwardstone goes to Sandown, whilst the veteran First Flow wasn't far from his best on return at Ascot and shouldn't be discounted in a race he won 2 years ago.

This trip on this track looks the perfect combination for Irish raider JANIDIL who can mix it with the very best when on his game.

5lb rise may underestimate him and he's a very lightly raced 4yo who brings potential.

Slight preference is for the unexposed JAVERT ALLEN, who ran with plenty of credit when second on his handicap debut at Ludlow in October and he has scope for enough improvement to defy a 5lb rise for that effort today. A half-brother to the capable Gladiateur Allen, the four-year-old should be fine in these conditions and he is preferred to the consistent Matchless, who has not been outside the first three in his last five hurdle starts. Course winner Mr Mackay and Swinton Hurdle runner-up Teddy Blue can also have a say in proceedings.

JAVERT ALLEN shaped very well when runner-up to a subsequent winner on handicap bow at Ludlow and this lightly-raced 4-y-o can go one better. This does look competitive however, with Arqoob, Mr Mackay and Matchless all arriving in top form.

A small but strong field. Javert Allen is highly respected but 2m on this track could prove just the ticket for MR MACKAY.

(4) Looking As You Are 10/1, Runner-up on each of her three starts in bumpers, again looking in need of further over C&D on latest. Looks out of her depth in this company.
Beaten three times but by a talented mare last time and entitled to take her chance here.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Huntingdon NH Flat Race (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Of the four previous bumper winners, MAGICAL ANNIE looks the most intriguing on her debut for Ben Pauling, after showing tenacity to land a similar contest at Galway on her sole start in Ireland. That was a rough race but the daughter of Jukebox Jury overcame scrimmaging to get her head in front and she should come on for that introduction. A similar display of determination could suffice here, although Future Fortune and Rula Bula appear to be serious threats.

LISTENTOYOURHEART is bred for this sphere and looked a nice prospect when scoring easily at Sedgefield a couple of months ago. She may well have been saved for this, so she gets the nod over Magical Annie, who scored in Ireland first time out. One Colour is also considered.

Ben Pauling's MAGICAL ANNIE was bought for £140,000 after winning at Galway and her proven ability in the mud ticks a big box.

3/1(-33%)
(5) Rockinastorm 3/1, Bumper winner in 2021 but just fair form at best over hurdles and was was most fortunate to make a winning chase bow at Warwick on return last month. Not an obvious one to follow up.
Handed the win on chase debut (3m, soft); needs to step up markedly upon that performance.

(2) Special Acceptance 4/1, Plummeted down the weights and posted best effort for some time when second at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) in April. Backed that up when filling same spot over C&D on return and must enter calculations.
2nd on last two starts (C&D latest) and thrown in on his soft-ground form two winters back.

(4) Jacks Touch (5/1 -25%)
Jacks Touch

5
5/1(-25%)
(4) Jacks Touch 5/1, Confirmed the promise of her chasing debut when landing mares' novices' handicap at Leicester and similar form when third at Fakenham. Respected.
This longer trip appeals given the way she drew clear at Leicester (2m6f) two runs back.

(1) Motion In Limine (5/2 -11%)
Motion In Limine

2.5
5/2(-11%)
(1) Motion In Limine 5/2, Fair hurdler. Solid start to his chase career when second at Cartmel and backed that up at the second attempt at Sedgefield last month, collared dying strides. Player.
Two 2nds (on soft ground) and a pulled up in his three runs over fences; should go well.
3
(3) Anglers Crag (9/2 +44%)
Anglers Crag

4.5
9/2(+44%)
(3) Anglers Crag 9/2, Point winner who made a successful start for David Pipe in Leicester novice hurdle in February 2022. Hasn't kicked on from that since and added to a patchy record at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 8 months ago. Has since moved yards (had wind op).
Has had wind op (his second) and left David Pipe; too hit and miss; also declared at Kelso.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Rockinastorm was handed the race by a faller at the last on his chasing debut at Warwick last month, hence his unchanged mark coming into this contest. He is respected nonetheless and is likely to be on the premises. However, MOTION IN LIMINE has a touch more experience in this discipline and could be hard to repel if he builds on his half-length second at Sedgefield last time out. Jacks Touch also rates as shortlist material on just his fourth start over fences.

MOTION IN LIMINE was only just denied at Sedgefield last month and may still have more to offer in this sphere after just 3 starts. Special Acceptance is on a workable mark nowadays and is feared most.

Jacks Touch goes up in trip but preference is nevertheless for SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE who has been staging something of a revival.

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.
