1st (2) (11/8 +31%) Ryan's Rocket |
11/8(+31%) | (2) Ryan's Rocket 11/8, £110,000 Irish point winner who has made a bright start over hurdles, pulling clear with one verging on useful at Taunton (2m) in December before going one better 3 months on there, landing the odds from a subsequent winner. More to come. Beat a subsequent winner comfortably last time; improving and respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Mirabad |
7/2(+13%) | (1) Mirabad 7/2, Has made a good start over hurdles, building on Wetherby run (when well backed) when landing bare 2m Wincanton novice a fortnight ago. Should progress further judged on his useful Flat ability. Smart Flat ability and enjoyed the good ground to win nicely at Wincanton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/4 -46%) Excelero |
7/4(-46%) | (3) Excelero 7/4, Chased home Salver at Warwick on debut then Sir Gino at Cheltenham (fourth) before making the most of a good opportunity back down in grade at Market Rasen, still looking raw (pulled hard in front in hood and jumped left but scored easily). Looks useful. Nice runs behind top-notchers Salver and Sir Gino before winning easily at Market Rasen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (100/1 -100%) Pooch |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Pooch 100/1, Well held in course bumper and Taunton junior hurdle (not knocked about) for Anthony Charlton. Didn't show much for previous yard, in a bumper here and 4yo hurdle at Taunton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 +25%) Sandmartin |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Sandmartin 12/1, €58,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Resolution Bay, stayed 3m. Bred for longer trips and starts out in a fair novice for the time of year. 58,000euros 3yo; half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Resolution Bay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (25/1 -56%) Roger |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Roger 25/1, Failed to set the world alight on the Flat in Slovakia but he was a runaway winner on hurdles debut for new connections at Stratford (19f, heavy) in March. Struggled in stronger race at Cheltenham since and this doesn't look much easier down in trip. Surprise Stratford winner but then tailed off at Cheltenham only recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (100/1 -300%) Lucky San Jore |
100/1(-300%) | (5) Lucky San Jore 100/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 9.5f), respectable effort final start for Marco Botti in October. 1 of 2 runners for yard and may need more time. Dual AW winner for Marco Botti and could make a hurdler for respected new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Mirabad and Ryan's Rocket both won last time out and may well have more to offer as they gain in experience, but they have to give 6lb to EXCELERO, whose form may turn out to be the best on offer. His fourth to Sir Gino at Cheltenham in January looks even better with the winner taking the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree since, and he followed that with an easy success at Market Rasen which will have boosted his confidence.
EXCELERO boasts some good juvenile hurdle form and could be useful as he gets to grips with racing. He can follow up his Market Rasen victory. The presence of three other previous hurdles winners give this a warm look for an early-season novice, with Ryan's Rocket feared most ahead of Mirabad.
After running well behind a couple of class acts it was no surprise to see EXCELERO win as he did at Market Rasen.

1st (5) (10/11 +64%) Ideal Des Bordes |
10/11(+64%) | (5) Ideal Des Bordes 10/11, Won his sole start in points and shaped promisingly behind a pair of subsequent winners in a Warwick bumper in May 2023. Placed first 2 starts over hurdles but may well have been amiss given how quickly he folded at Exeter. Since had a breathing operation. Placed in two Ascot maidens before pulled up at Exeter; had wind op since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 -150%) Fasol |
11/4(-150%) | (2) Fasol 11/4, Very useful winning stayer on Flat in France for Christope Ferland. Changed hands for €155,000 and posted an encouraging fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, soft) in January, going with enthusiasm. Can take a sizeable step forward upped in trip. Newbury run was disappointing given Flat ability but it's still very early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 +43%) Gentleman's Relish |
8/1(+43%) | (3) Gentleman's Relish 8/1, Much improved when winning 13-runner Newbury bumper in November. Very disappointing start to his hurdles career, pulled up on each occasion but he's in the right hands to bounce back His only effort of note was when making all in a Newbury bumper on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 -29%) Isocrate |
9/2(-29%) | (6) Isocrate 9/2, Ex-pointer who found only one too good last 2 hurdles starts, failing to land the odds but finding a promising one too good at Exeter. Up in trip. Up to winning a race of this nature after near misses at Sandown and Exeter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (80/1 -400%) Jukebox Fury |
80/1(-400%) | (8) Jukebox Fury 80/1, Related to several winners but little to shout about in 2 starts. Pulled up and tailed off in maidens at Doncaster (soft) and Market Rasen (good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (66/1 -164%) Honey Jack |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Honey Jack 66/1, Has scope but has shown little all 3 starts to date. Fairly forgettable so far in a bumper and two hurdles, the latest races on heavy and good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (28/1 -180%) Big Cheese |
28/1(-180%) | (1) Big Cheese 28/1, Fair 1¾m Flat winner for Ed Bethell. Didn't have a cut at his obstacles and finished well held on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Capable Flat handicapper at an ordinary level; tailed off on hurdle debut at Fakenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (125/1 -89%) Jasper Boy |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Jasper Boy 125/1, £17,000 Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler/chase winner Celtic Dream. Shaped like a stayer in his bumper on the AW in December but never travelled with any purpose on hurdles debut. Cheekpieces on upped in trip. Midfield in an AW bumper and then pulled up in an Ascot maiden for which he was 150-1. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Isocrate has the form in the book having finished second on his last two starts, when beaten a head at Sandown and two lengths at Exeter over shorter. He looks all set for a big run over this trip, but may be outclassed by FASOL. Group class on the Flat in France, Paul Nicholls' gelding was fourth at Newbury over two miles on his hurdling debut but ought to be far happier upped in distance. Ideal Des Bordes is another who could get involved after his wind surgery.
FASOL stayed well on the level, which augurs well for this step up in tripp and sure to step up on his opening hurdles run, he should take some stopping, Ideal des Bordes has had a breathing of after stopping quickly at Exeter, and if that procedure has worked, he's the obvious threat.
It's best to forgive and forget Exeter last time and IDEAL DES BORDES had previously shaped very nicely on two visits to Ascot.

1st (2) (7/2 -5%) Karl Philippe |
7/2(-5%) | (2) Karl Philippe 7/2, Useful handicap chaser who clearly stripped fitter for his recent hurdling spin and ran well back over fences when third of 11 at this C&D (good) 2 weeks ago. Should be in the shake-up if keeping errors to a minimum again. Clear of the rest when just missing out over C&D two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 +17%) Unanswered Prayers |
5/1(+17%) | (8) Unanswered Prayers 5/1, Winless over fences since 2022 but he got back on track after a wind op when sixth of 12 over C&D in February. Ran to a similar level when third at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) since and he's considered eased another 2 lb. All wins over shorter but it was over 3m1f when third at Plumpton last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +0%) Neon Moon |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Neon Moon 6/1, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences in handicap at Ludlow in October. Weak finishes were the primary feature of next 4 starts but resumed winning ways at Newbury (23.4f) in March. Not sure to be in the same mood, however. Newbury winner last time but overall profile questions whether he'll be as good again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 +61%) Killer Kane |
11/2(+61%) | (7) Killer Kane 11/2, Winless since early 2023 and has struggled in valuable handicap company on his last 3 starts (after a wind op). Headgear reapplied and could get back on track returned to Class 3 company. Has a good record over C&D and could be worth risking back on better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/1 +30%) Our Jet |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Our Jet 7/1, All the better for return when doubling his tally over fences here November. Decent placed efforts next 2 starts and shaped as if still in good form when down the field at Cheltenham last time, likely to have made the frame had he not belted the second last. Headgear off. In good form until last time; unproven over 3m but the ground may help in that respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Galahad Quest |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Galahad Quest 11/1, Decisive winner of a 2½m Warwick handicap chase last February but well beaten all 3 starts this year (didn't shaped badly first 2). Down to an attractive mark but does need to keep the errors at bay to feature (has had a breathing operation). On a retreival mission but will like the ground and unexposed at 3m; had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4/1 -145%) Quick Draw |
4/1(-145%) | (1) Quick Draw 4/1, Scored twice over hurdles for Tom Lacey and made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson after 3 months off when making all at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) in February, scoring with a bit in hand. 5 lb higher here and back from a break looks the time to catch him. Big chance. On a career-high mark but he's well suited by a flat, right-handed 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (25/1 -150%) Magna Sam |
25/1(-150%) | (9) Magna Sam 25/1, Better than ever when making a winning start for this yard at Musselburgh (31.5f) last February. Good fifth in Scottish National at Ayr next time, but little to shout about both starts last season (in trouble a long way out in his repeat bid at former track last time). If he could stage a revival he's effective at 3m for all that he stays so well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Killer Kane could surprise here with his two C&D wins, the last of which came in February 2023 off this mark, suggesting he is in with a chance. The nine-year-old can go well if he is back to his best, but on recent form QUICK DRAW might have the edge. Four times a winner over fences including last time out at Wincanton, Nicky Henderson's gelding remains on an upward curve. Our Jet is another to consider back in more realistic company after his seventh in a better race at Cheltenham.
QUICK DRAW made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson at Wincanton in February and returning from another break, this could be the time to catch him again. He gets the vote ahead of Karl Philippe, who ran well back over fences when third over C&D a fortnight ago. Our Jet can edge out Unanswered Prayers for the bronze medal.
A competitive race with a few holding chances. KILLER KANE runs this C&D well and getting back on better ground is a big plus.

1st (9) (11/2 +61%) Halifax |
11/2(+61%) | (9) Halifax 11/2, Bagged third success for current yard at Bangor (23f) last September. Bounced back from some lesser efforts when respectable sixth of 14 at Chepstow (3m, good) 10 days ago. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that. Likes good ground, on a fair mark and latest run was a step in the right direction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3/1 +25%) Island Run |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Island Run 3/1, Dual winner over hurdles and second in this race off an identical mark last year. Been chasing since, with last month's Huntingdon third showing he arrives in form. Considered. Good and bad in five chase starts since finishing runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +0%) Redbridge Rambler |
5/1(+0%) | (8) Redbridge Rambler 5/1, Suited by the step up to 3m when opening his account in 13-runner Ascot handicap in March. Unexposed as stayer and a 7lb rise looks manageable. Effectively on the same mark for his Ascot win; inconsistency is a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 +15%) Art Of Diplomacy |
11/2(+15%) | (1) Art Of Diplomacy 11/2, Fair Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland, leaving that stable after taking a Wetherby seller in March. On a competitive mark back in a handicap. Capable handicapper at this trip but it was a seller he won on return from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -150%) Tzarmix |
25/1(-150%) | (3) Tzarmix 25/1, Ended his time with Sam Thomas with a 3m Chepstow novice win last March. No significant impact in a novice and handicap for new yard in the autumn and needs to get back to his best after a break. Lightly raced novice winner; ran okay in November but will need more again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +33%) San Pedro |
8/1(+33%) | (7) San Pedro 8/1, Came good for this yard with small-field wins at Plumpton (25f) this year. Shaped better than result there 3 weeks ago and treated as if still in form. Looks on a harsh mark after two Plumpton wins this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (14/1 -17%) Foxinthebox |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Foxinthebox 14/1, Won a 25f Huntingdon maiden in May 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Leading yard has stuck with him but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long spell on the sidelines. Unexposed maiden winner who might be on a fair mark but he's been a long-time absent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (14/1 -17%) Kepagge |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Kepagge 14/1, Won twice over hurdles last spring. Struggled over fences in more recent times but has handicapping scope if a return to hurdles sparks him back to life. Should appreciate returning to hurdles but his best form has been over shorter distances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (22/1 -100%) Honneur D'ajonc |
22/1(-100%) | (2) Honneur D'ajonc 22/1, Multiple hurdles winner who also scored over fences in January 2023. Has drawn a blank since but his mark has edged down as a result and has shown enough back hurdling lately to think he's in reasonable form. Lost his way over fences and beaten 12l and 18l back over hurdles the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (7/1 +0%) Getalead |
7/1(+0%) | (5) Getalead 7/1, Added to his tally with pair of small-field victories in September 2022. Has drawn a blank since but his recent Wincanton fourth was respectable and his mark continues to fall. Signs more encouraging last time after a wind op; probably stays this longer trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although Art Of Diplomacy won with ease in selling company at Wetherby in March, the eight-year-old returns to handicap company off a stiff-looking mark. With that in mind, it could be worth sticking with last-time-out Ascot scorer REDBRIDGE RAMBLER. A 7lb higher rating for Martin Keighley's gelding looks far from insurmountable and a double could be on the cards. Market support for handicap debutant Foxinthebox, who is returning from a 714-day absence, would bring him into calculations too.
REDBRIDGE RAMBLER came good on his first attempt around 3m at Ascot last time and might be able to cope with a 7 lb rise. Island Run arrives in reasonable form from chasing and is taken to repeat last year's second place in this. San Pedro completes the shortlist.
The 8yo GETALEAD hasn't had many chances over this far and it was an encouraging effort last time in a higher grade.

1st (4) (5/2 +44%) I'd Like To Know |
5/2(+44%) | (4) I'd Like To Know 5/2, Went down only narrowly on chase debut at Newbury in January before going one place better there in March, again impressing with his jumping. Shaped well again when forcing the pace over 19.8f at Plumpton last month and he's seriously respected despite racing from out of weights. Lightly raced chaser who was perhaps unsuited to Plumpton the last time; retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/2 +58%) Onemorefortheroad |
5/2(+58%) | (3) Onemorefortheroad 5/2, Produced a career-best when winning an 11-runner handicap chase (18/1) at this C&D (good) a fortnight ago, benefiting from the run of the race but digging deep to hold on. Just of the weights here but still respected. Made it 2-2 as a chaser when overcoming a late mistake over C&D; raised 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +55%) Bourbali |
9/2(+55%) | (5) Bourbali 9/2, Won a match here in November but pulled up at Plumpton before reverted to hurdles when too free at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Others appeal more. Entitled to give his running being 6lb out of the weights hurts his chances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (3/1 -50%) Calico |
3/1(-50%) | (2) Calico 3/1, Largely held form well in defeat last season, in the hunt for a long way when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Well treated on the pick of his form and he makes plenty of appeal. Likes to lead and he's not the only one, but there's plenty in his favour otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -170%) Editeur Du Gite |
9/1(-170%) | (1) Editeur Du Gite 9/1, Bold-jumping front runner who landed the Desert Orchid at Kempton for the second year running in December but no form otherwise last season, pulling up on return from a 3-month absence in the Celebration Chase at Sandown (15.4f, good) 9 days ago. Has been contesting Grade 1s and he won a 2m handicap here over Christmas. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
EDITEUR DU GITE shouldn't be judged too harshly on his defeats in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham and Sandown this year, with this return to handicap company a huge positive. Moreover, the veteran clearly loves it at this venue, as evidenced by his Grade 2 Desert Orchid victories in 2022 and 2023. The Saddex gelding is taken to regain the winning thread, at the main expense of Calico, who lurks on an attractive mark, with recent C&D winner Onemorefortheroad completing the shortlist.
CALICO has edged back towards the mark from which hie was runner-up at Cheltenham in November, and having shaped well at Chepstow last time, gets the nod over the unexposed I'd Like To Know. Onemorefortheroad had the run of the race over C&D last time and rates as third pick.
The presence of EDITEUR DU GITE sees three of his rivals out of the handicap. He can stamp his class on this field.

1st (8) (10/3 +17%) Inoui Machin |
10/3(+17%) | (8) Inoui Machin 10/3, Dual bumper winner who came good at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when getting the better of El Granjero (winner of both starts since) in a Hereford maiden in March. Creditable third in handicap there next time and remains capable of better. In good form at Hereford and gives the impression that this step up in trip will benefit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +20%) Menaggio |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Menaggio 4/1, Showed ability when sixth in big-field Newbury bumper on debut last spring and made it third time lucky over hurdles in a 21.7f Hereford novice (good to soft) in January. Not disgraced under a penalty over C&D and could have more to offer now handicapping. Doesn't look thrown in for handicap debut but there's no doubt more to come from him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -50%) Fair Frontieres |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Fair Frontieres 18/1, More miss than hit this year and doesn't look the force of old. Hard to recommend on the back of a laboured display at Huntingdon, although cheekpieces might help. Three-time novice winner who hasn't got back to his best since returning from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (17/2 +47%) Sami Bear |
17/2(+47%) | (10) Sami Bear 17/2, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 165 days ago. Not without hope if he's fully tuned up. Not in great form when last seen but goes well here and conditions will be perfect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 -33%) Mulberry Hill |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Mulberry Hill 8/1, Fair handicap hurdler who produced a career-best effort on her third chase start when winning at Kempton (20.5f) in November. Pulled up next time and now returns to the smaller obstacles after a break. Won over fences here in Nov; solid record over hurdles and nothing wrong with her mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 +31%) Alien Storm |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Alien Storm 11/2, Hasn't really been firing lately but third at Plumpton 36 days ago was a bit more encouraging and he's becoming well treated. Beaten knocking on 20l when third at Plumpton and needs to raise his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 -150%) Dublin Four |
25/1(-150%) | (4) Dublin Four 25/1, Largely run with credit this season but fell on final outing (over fences) for Fergal O'Brien and starts out for new yard with a bit to prove after 13 months off. Having first run over hurdles since winning a maiden in early 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (9/2 +18%) Playtogetaway |
9/2(+18%) | (7) Playtogetaway 9/2, Landed a pair of 2m handicaps in the first half of 2023 and resumed from 8 months off with a couple of promising efforts, travelling best when second at Hereford 22 days ago. One to note. Has done well in handicaps but whether this longer trip will help remains to be seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (12/1 -71%) Tarahumara |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Tarahumara 12/1, Third hurdle success of his short career when returning from 6 months off to see off 16 rivals in a 2m Warwick handicap (heavy) in November. Likely found the run coming too soon when pulling up at Exeter 19 days later. Freshened up since. Can bounce back. Now has to prove himself worthy of this mark but still lightly raced. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TARAHUMARA comes with risks attached having stopped quickly and eventually pulling up at Exeter in November. However, Emma Lavelle's gelding created a deep impression when making all at Warwick earlier that month and he could be worth chancing given his fantastic record when fresh. Playtogetaway had fellow rival Inoui Machin (third) behind when runner-up at Hereford last month. The pair are both potential improvers on this rise in distance and they are viable alternatives to the selection.
PLAYTOGETAWAY shaped well when runner-up at Hereford last time with Inoui Machin one place behind and the pair might well dominate this unless Tarahumara bounces back after a break.
The suggestion is a refreshed SAMI BEAR (nap), who has a good record here and he's receiving a stone and more from all his rivals.

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.
