1st (7) Sixmilebridge (1/2 +100%)
Sixmilebridge

0.5
1/2(+100%)
(7) Sixmilebridge 1/2, £100,000 buy after finishing runner-up completed start in Irish points and readily justified favouritism in Sandown bumper. Found the Champion Bumper too much a month later but lost nothing in defeat when second at Stratford on hurdles bow/return on debut for this yard. Can go one better.
Beaten favourite on switch to hurdles at Stratford but still a useful prospect.

Sole Solution

8.5
17/2(+23%)
(8) Sole Solution 17/2, Looked a good prospect when winning both starts in bumpers, the latest at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) in January 2023, impressing with how he travelled. Looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Bangor after almost 2 years off, however, jumping badly. Best watched.
Should enjoy this softer ground and a longer trip, but he didn't jump well last time.

Royal Rambler

28/1(-229%)
(6) Royal Rambler 28/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pimlico Point. Dam (c143/h117), 17f-2¾m winner (including French Group 1 chase), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) Mr Mix.
65,000euros 3yo; 2nd foal; half-brother to point/2m3f hurdle/3m chase winner Pimlico Point.

(5) Miami Steve 150/1, Poor form in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle.
Minor bumper promise; 40-1 and found little fluency in his jumping when tailed off at Ayr.
4
5th (4) Lawrenny (14/1 -250%)
Lawrenny

14
14/1(-250%)
(4) Lawrenny 14/1, Progressive in bumpers, opening his account in 12-runner event (3/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) 9 months ago, staying on to lead post. Interesting hurdling debutant.
Responded well to pressure to get up late on in a heavy-ground bumper at Newcastle.
2
6th (2) Got A Dream (15/2 +38%)
Got A Dream

7.5
15/2(+38%)
(2) Got A Dream 15/2, Getaway gelding who left debut form behind when landing an 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon. Took another step forward when 8¼ lengths seventh of 18 in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree final start. However, was a remote fourth on hurdles bow at Chepstow on return.
Useful in bumpers; didn't get home on hurdling debut after racing keenly.
3
7th (3) Je Viens Du Large (6/1 +50%)
Je Viens Du Large

6
6/1(+50%)
(3) Je Viens Du Large 6/1, Easily off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in April but failed by a long chalk to justify support switched to Rules in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle. Fared a lot better when fourth at Leicester but needs to take another big step forward.
Encouraging fourth over C&D 17 days ago but he'll need to find extra if he's to win this.
1
|PU| (1) Dark Mix (16/1 -14%)
Dark Mix

16
16/1(-14%)
(1) Dark Mix 16/1, Narrowly prevailed in a 5-runner bumper on debut at Market Rasen a year ago. Struggled at Warwick the following month but that was in a significantly stronger race (also wasn't helped by taking a circuitous route). Shaped as if needing run when fifth on hurdles bow at former track on return.
Pulled hard latest and will need to give himself a chance to stay this longer trip.
9
|PU| (9) Tintagel Queen (33/1 -136%)
Tintagel Queen

33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Tintagel Queen 33/1, Went close in a Chepstow bumper and made a promising start over hurdles when third at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft). Not disgraced after almost a year off at Stratford 5 weeks ago but she needs to leave that well behind.
Either needed the race or didn't stay 2m6f when a weakener at Stratford last month.

12:25 Leicester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A promising second on his debut over hurdles for new connections at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE is entitled to improve plenty on that effort and, as a former point-to-pointer, the step up in trip is likely to suit. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Newcastle bumper winner Lawrenny and Je Viens Du Large, who wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D last month. Sole Solution and Tintagel Queen are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

SIXMILEBRIDGE made a promising start over hurdles when second at Stratford on return and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better with the longer trip sure to suit. Lawrenny was progressive in bumpers so may emerge as the biggest threat.

Despite failing favourite backers on his hurdling debut at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE remains a good prospect.

Catch Catchfire

18
18/1(-13%)
(3) Catch Catchfire 18/1, Well held so far over hurdles but switches to chasing with cheekpieces fitted and he's bred to do better, so worth a market check.
Beaten a long way in his three maiden hurdles at about 2m3f; chase/handicap debut.

Everyonesacritic

(7) Everyonesacritic 7/2, Made a successful handicap debut over hurdles with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in February. Yet to fire over fences but didn't have a hard race last time and goes back up in trip.
Ran okay over 2m at Ludlow latest and entitled to leave that form behind.

Ronnies Reflection

11
11/1(+56%)
(6) Ronnies Reflection 11/1, Little to shout about in his qualifying runs and pulled up on handicap debut 7 months ago. Switches to chasing with something to prove.
Not shown a lot and makes chasing debut following further wind surgery.

4th (5) Williamdeconqueror (15/2 -125%)
Williamdeconqueror

7.5
15/2(-125%)
(5) Williamdeconqueror 15/2, Creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy, 7/2). Off 9 months. Consistent last season and returns in a winnable affair, so makes most appeal.
Placed form over fences; may prefer further ideally and others might be fitter.
4
5th (4) Shesupincourt (11/2 +0%)
Shesupincourt

5.5
11/2(+0%)
(4) Shesupincourt 11/2, Unreliable sort but not disgraced when third of 8 to Northern Reel in handicap chase over C&D 17 days ago. Could be on the premises again.
Third over C&D 17 days ago and this softer surface should be favourable.
2
6th (2) Jikala (5/1 -67%)
Jikala

5
5/1(-67%)
(2) Jikala 5/1, French import who made it third time lucky for present connections when making all in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f, good to soft) in March 2023. Not disgraced next time and built for chasing, so intriguing runner for all that she's been off 19 months.
Still lightly raced, in good hands and there are chasers in the family.
8
|PU| (8) Harkangel (4/1 +71%)
Harkangel

4
4/1(+71%)
(8) Harkangel 4/1, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap after 12 weeks off at Taunton (3m, good) in April. Back on track to some extent when fourth over C&D on chasing debut and could build on that.
Struggles continued on chase debut latest and soft ground might not be what she wants.
1
|PU| (1) Pearl Island (11/2 -22%)
Pearl Island

5.5
11/2(-22%)
(1) Pearl Island 11/2, Steady improver over hurdles, running well when third at Ludlow 42 days ago. Starts out over fences in a thin race and looks a definite player if taking to it.
Horses from this yard can make better chasers and pedigree bodes well in that respect.

12:55 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A tad unlucky not to get his head in front last season, WILLIAMDECONQUEROR looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his first run since February, and soft ground should play to his strengths. A relatively promising third over C&D last month, Shesupincourt is capable of building on that effort, while Pearl Island is interesting on his chase debut for the in-form Henry Daly team.

WILLIAMDECONQUEROR held his form well last season and has been found a good opening to make his reappearance, so he's the one to beat if fully tuned up. Pearl Island and Jikala are both noteworthy chasing debutants.

The 5yo EVERYONESACRITIC ran pretty well at Ludlow last time as 2m on good ground wouldn't be what he wants.

Authodidacte

5.5
11/2(-22%)
(5) Authodidacte 11/2, Fairly useful Flat winner on the Flat in France. 12/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Clairefontaine (11.9f, good). Off 13 months. First run for yard after leaving P. & J. Brandt. Notable hurdling newcomer for excellent yard.
Bought for 33,000euros after an eight-race Flat career in France that yielded two wins.

2nd (2) Carismatic Soldier (4/5 +51%)
Carismatic Soldier

0.8
4/5(+51%)
(2) Carismatic Soldier 4/5, Related to a hurdling winner and there was a good deal of promise in his second in a Huntingdon bumper 9 months ago. Looks the type to better that in this sphere, so strong claims.
Clear second when chasing home a good horse in his only bumper (on soft).
4
3rd (4) Malinificent (9/2 +25%)
Malinificent

4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Malinificent 9/2, £52,000 4-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam, unraced, half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Bob Mahler. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 5).
Second in an Irish point and the winner went for £400,000 at the sales.
1
4th (1) Inside Man (7/2 -100%)
Inside Man

3.5
7/2(-100%)
(1) Inside Man 7/2, Positive start in juvenile hurdles last season and firmly back on track when scoring with something in hand in novice at Exeter 17 days ago. Gives weight away all round but he's a strong player in first-time hood.
Beat the favourite at Exeter last time but a double penalty might leave him vulnerable.
3

Directly

66
66/1(-371%)
(3) Directly 66/1, Telescope half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cultram Abbey. Something to work on when fourth in a Wincanton bumper and can't be ruled out.
Questionable what he achieved when fourth of eight in a Worcester bumper.
6

Dartmouth Rose

200
200/1(-100%)
(6) Dartmouth Rose 200/1, Best effort in bumpers in May when third at Market Rasen, albeit possibly flattered after being well positioned. Down the field last time and probably up against it on hurdling debut.
Not strong form when third in a Market Rasen bumper and was tailed off at Warwick.

13:25 Leicester Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

INSIDE MAN arrives on the back of a taking success at Exeter and there is likely to be plenty more to come from the four-year-old, despite having to carry a 10lb penalty. Carismatic Soldier showed up well when second on his debut in a Huntingdon bumper in March and he must enter calculations, along with French import Authodidacte and Malinificent, who is related to the stable's smart staying chaser Bob Mahler.

CARISMATIC SOLDIER ran well on debut in a bumper 9 months ago and is the sort to take to hurdling, so he's narrowly preferred to recent Exeter winner Inside Man. Auithodidacte is another interesting hurdling newcomer based on Flat form.

This may go to CARISMATIC SOLDIER who ran well behind a respected rival in his only bumper and his yard is going great guns.

1st (2) Trust House (13/2 -225%)
Trust House

6.5
13/2(-225%)
(2) Trust House 13/2, Fairly useful form on Flat for Ralph Beckett, stays 1½m. Acquired for 58,000 gns by present connections and whilst he's offered only minor promise in trio of quick-fire runs in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months, he appeals as the type to make more of an impact now handicapping.
Flat winner; jumps form nothing to get excited about but now enters handicaps.

2nd (7) Nedzor (5/2 +44%)
Nedzor

2.5
5/2(+44%)
(7) Nedzor 5/2, Runner-up in a point and promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles at around 2m last winter. Will hold more chance now handicapping and interesting if the market spoke in his favour back from 10 months off.
Could have a future off this sort of mark in handicaps; market informative.

3rd (10) Night Jet (4/1 -14%)
Night Jet

4
4/1(-14%)
(10) Night Jet 4/1, Wasn't beaten far when fifth in an 8-runner Ludlow handicap (15.8f, heavy) on final run of last season and would have finished well held before taking a late fall on return at Stratford (16.3f) 7 weeks ago. More needed.
Maiden who has had a few chances in handicaps; beaten when falling last time.
9
4th (9) Mr Zee (7/1 +7%)
Mr Zee

7
7/1(+7%)
(9) Mr Zee 7/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Winless to date in this sphere but did produce one of his better recent efforts when fourth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) in October and subsequent Taunton run best overlooked. Can figure from such a lowly mark.
Six-time Flat winner; once placed in nine hurdle starts but he's not getting any better.
3
5th (3) Meraki Mist (14/1 +30%)
Meraki Mist

14
14/1(+30%)
(3) Meraki Mist 14/1, Down the field in bumpers and similar story in novice/maiden hurdles last season. Goes handicapping now after 8 months off but progress required.
Never threatened last season but ran okay behind talented winners in his last two maidens.
5
6th (5) Mount Washington (4/1 +75%)
Mount Washington

4
4/1(+75%)
(5) Mount Washington 4/1, Showed a fair level of ability on first of 2 starts in bumpers but mixed record in 5 starts over hurdles to date, including in pair of handicaps. Quickly back down in trip on the back of his latest Ffos Las run, which could help. Hood/tongue tie fitted.
Modest profile and handicaps have yet to trigger any improvement; tries headgear.
1

Bredon Hill Dart

18
18/1(-80%)
(1) Bredon Hill Dart 18/1, Never featured in 2 bumpers but some promise in novice/maiden hurdles during second half of last term. Switch to handicaps a plus on return and the betting can prove a useful guide.
Always had a lot to find in his novices and the runs weren't devoid of promise.
4
8th (4) That's The Badger (12/1 +52%)
That's The Badger

12
12/1(+52%)
(4) That's The Badger 12/1, Fair maiden over hurdles for Henry Daly but didn't convince in 2 starts over fences for that yard during 2021. Pulled up for new yard, following a lengthy absence in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f) 4 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that well behind. Tongue strap on 1st time.
Maiden who was returning from a mammoth absence when pulled up back over hurdles.

Seahouses

(8) Seahouses 33/1, No impact in 3 hurdles last winter. Boasts a fair level of ability on the Flat but easy to back and disappointing switched to handicaps in this sphere when pulled up at Fakenham (20f) 5 weeks ago.
80-1 when pulled up in a Fakenham handicap last time out.

13:55 Leicester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

In a moderate event, a chance can be taken on TRUST HOUSE, who won on the Flat and he may be suited by this switch to handicap company. Night Jet could prove to be the main danger based on an encouraging fifth at Ludlow two starts ago, while Mr Zee edges out Nedzor and Mount Washington to be best of the rest.

This looks decidedly trappy but TRUST HOUSE goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark in this sphere judged on his Flat exploits and could be the way to go with the Olly Murphy yard continuing in good order. Mr Zee and Nedzor are others to consider.

The interesting runners are handicap debutants and a chance is taken on NEDZOR who has a nice pedigree.

(1) David's Well 11/8, Improved again when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February. Disappointed on handicap bow at Newbury final start but makes chasing debut/return in a weak-looking race (placed completed start in Irish points).

Samazul

Shaped much better than bare result there 4 weeks ago but folded in alarming fashion after turning for home looking the winner. Down in trip.
Successful chase debut and unlikely that he gave his true running back at Fontwell latest.

(2) Mcgrath From Clune 22/1, Won chase at Thurles 12 months ago. However, well held last 3 starts and tough to assess at present. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Robert Tyner.
Could be a factor off this mark if a change of scenery has done him some good.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

14:25 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SAMAZUL failed to fire on his most recent outing at Fontwell, but that followed a success at the same venue in October. It would be no surprise to see Ben Pauling's gelding bounce back to form given how weak this race appears to be. Johnny Mac was well held when third at Warwick but should not be underestimated, while similar comments apply to My Portia.

DAVID'S WELL failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow when last seen but he was progressive over hurdles prior to that and makes his chase debut in a weak event. Samazul is the obvious threat despite his weak finish at Fontwell last month.

The intriguing runner is DAVID'S WELL who could quite easily outclass his rivals on this switch to fences.

One Eye On Vegas

2

(6) One Eye On Vegas 2/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning slow-ground handicaps over this C&D and at Hereford in January/February. Probably still in need of the run at Warwick recently, having exited early on when making his reappearance at Carlisle, and he's not discounted.
Two wins on soft ground last winter; ran a flat race at Warwick only two weeks ago.

(7) Shantwopointfive 13/2, Irish point winner who was second in a Southwell bumper and duly built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 7-runner maiden at Cartmel (2¾m, good to soft) in May. Mark for this handicap bow looks fair and she should have a part to play if raring to go following a 6-month break.
Off since winning a Cartmel maiden in May but she's very unexposed.

Mudlover; solid second at Bangor and entitled to come on for that first run in 276 days.

Struggled in two handicaps but now on a reduced mark and he did win a novice on heavy.

Remains capable but he turns 14 soon and hasn't raced for 174 days.

15:00 Leicester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SHANTWOPOINTFIVE had plenty in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Cartmel in May and she merits the utmost respect on her handicap debut, despite a 194-day break. Easy To Follow only found one too good on her return to action at Bangor and is likely to be in the mix once again. The shortlist is completed by Leading Choice and McGowan's Pass.

Provided she is ready to roll, the unexposed SHANTWOPOINTFIVE will have every chance of adding to her Cartmel maiden success when last seen in May. The form of that race is admittedly nothing special, but that doesn't detract from that the fact that this 6-y-o is promising and she has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut. Tommie Gun looks dangerous back on deep ground, while One Eye On Vegas is third on the list ahead of Easy To Follow.

This can go the way of EASY TO FOLLOW, a mudlover who has already run well in two handicaps. Leading Choice is feared most.

(3) Passing Kate 1/2, Clearly effective when the mud is flying, successful in mares' handicaps over this C&D and at Wincanton last season. Closed off that campaign with a respectable third at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) and she's a key player.
7lb above last winning mark but she's a consistent mare who will enjoy these conditions.

Twyford's Diamond

11/2(+27%)
(1) Twyford's Diamond 11/2, Showed ability over hurdles last season, particularly when finding just one too good in a mares' novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in April. Shaped as though amiss at Ffos Las the following month but has since undergone a wind op and she will be a threat if able to get back on track.
Clear second at Ludlow; stopped quickly on handicap debut; had wind surgery since.

10/3(-67%)
(5) Malinka 10/3, Fair Flat performer who made a winning debut over hurdles in smooth style after 11 weeks off at Cartmel (17.2f, heavy) in August, responding well. Disappointed next time but latest third in a first-time hood (on again here) at Sedgefield was a sound effort and she's of strong interest.
Cartmel winner; makes handicap debut and this 3yo filly gets all the allowances.

(6) Comeonrita 66/1, Little show in bumpers and just modest form at best so far over hurdles, pulled up at Hexham when last seen 17 months ago. Readily passed over starting out for new yard here.
Modest eight-race maiden who has offered little in handicaps, pulling up in her last two.

11/1(-214%)
(4) Fillyfudge 11/1, Fair winner on the Flat and bettered previous efforts in this sphere when third of 8 in a C&D handicap (good to soft) 17 days ago. One to consider off the same mark with visor on for the first time over hurdles (in good form with the same headgear elisted on the level this year).
Third back over hurdles here recently but today's testing ground may find her out.

(2) Trudie Glen 50/1, Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper in May 2023. Pleasing start to hurdles career when runner-up at Southwell during the spring but safely held both subsequent starts and has left Dan Skelton ahead of this handicap debut.
Ex-Skelton mare; others have more pressing claims on stable/handicap debut.

15:35 Leicester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

FILLYFUDGE made the frame on her return to hurdling over C&D last month and Amy Murphy's mare gets the vote off the same mark here. Passing Kate was a consistent performer last season and should not be underestimated in this company, even if a 227-day layoff is a slight concern. Twyford's Diamond has had a wind operation since her last appearance and any market support for her would have to be noted.

The vote goes to C&D winner PASSING KATE, who shades preference ahead of the 3-y-o Malinka. The latter got back on track when third at Sedgefield and she has to be taken seriously now handicapping, while it would be no surprise if Fillyfudge were to make her presence felt, too.

The consistent PASSING KATE (nap) appeals as the safest option. She lacks a run but her yard is having winners.

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.
