Races & Results Tuesday 21st November 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(7) Bucksy Des Epeires 5/1, Showed fair form when second in juvenile events at Dieppe and Lyon Parilly in 2022. Off 13 months but has joined an in-form yard and needs considering. Runner-up in two French hurdles and was recruited for 65,000euros; market instructive.
3
2nd (3) (10/11 +48%) Illico De Cotte
0.909091
10/11(+48%)
(3) Illico De Cotte 10/11, Fetched £100,000 after landing an Irish maiden point by 12 lengths in March. Has joined a top yard and confidence behind him in the betting on Rules debut would look significant. Beat a subsequent hurdle winner by 12l in an Irish point; could be useful.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 -78%) Tintagel Queen
8
8/1(-78%)
(8) Tintagel Queen 8/1, Improved on debut form when second in 10-runner bumper at Chepstow (16f, soft) in March, albeit flattered by proximity to idling winner. Should have a future over hurdles. Flattered to get quite so close to an idling winner in her second bumper at Chepstow.
6
4th (6) (3/1 +33%) All Authorized
3
3/1(+33%)
(6) All Authorized 3/1, Brother to useful 2m hurdle winner I Am Maximus and made the ideal start when landing a Fontwell bumper in ready fashion in April. Didn't look entirely straightforward when sixth of 11 under a penalty at Ascot on recent return but still warrants respect as a bumper winner on hurdle debut. Bumper winner who didn't run badly under a penalty at Ascot recently; now hurdling.
2
5th (2) (40/1 -21%) Dish Of The Day
40
40/1(-21%)
(2) Dish Of The Day 40/1, Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers but needs a big step forward on hurdle debut. Beaten 27l in a heavy-ground bumper at Taunton but that was a decent race.
5
6th (5) (16/1 -113%) Top Kap
16
16/1(-113%)
(5) Top Kap 16/1, Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fellow Mag and Bois Sans Soif. Failed to justify support in an Exeter bumper on debut 11 months ago but could prove a different proposition now hurdling. Well beaten in an Exeter bumper 12 months ago but he did go off favourite.
4
7th (4) (40/1 -60%) Mullys Choice
40
40/1(-60%)
(4) Mullys Choice 40/1, Picked up for £60,000 after finishing second sole outing in points but looks one for the longer term under Rules. Second in an Irish point; from good jumping family but it's been a quiet start under rules.
1
8th (1) (300/1 -100%) D'ambonnay
300
300/1(-100%)
(1) D'ambonnay 300/1, Well held in a brace of bumpers 20 months apart. Well down the field in two bumpers some 605 days apart; opposable.
LTO Selection:
12:00 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BUCKSY DES EPEIRES recorded some useful form when racing in France and the four-year-old may be able to open his account now under the tutelage of the in-form Venetia Williams. Illico De Cotte was an easy winner of his sole point-to-point in Ireland and the son of Kitkou warrants respect entering this sphere for leading connections. Tintagel Queen finished second in a Chepstow bumper in March and is another to consider on her hurdles debut.
ILLICO DE COTTE fetched £100,000 after landing an Irish point by 12 lengths in March and, having joined a top yard, he makes plenty of appeal. Bucksy des Epeires showed a fair level of form in France and could raise his game on his UK/stable debut, while Tintagel Queen and All Authorized merit consideration too having shown promise in bumpers.
Some potential on show. Bumper winner ALL AUTHORIZED is the brother of an Irish National winner and now goes up in distance.
(5) Heva Rose 5/4, Hasn't shown much over hurdles since joining this yard from France but potentially thrown-in, including from her chase mark, and yard couldn't be in any better form ahead of return. Out of form over hurdles in the spring but makes British chase debut from dangerous mark.
4
2nd (4) (10/3 +5%) Presenting A Queen
3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(4) Presenting A Queen 10/3, Won 2 bumpers and a 19.5f Chepstow novice hurdle on her first 3 starts under Rules. Showed signs of temperament later in the campaign but she has a background in points and she shaped as if better for the run when third at Wincanton on seasonal/chase debut. Made promising seasonal/chase debut last month (albeit last of three finishers).
1
3rd (1) (8/1 -60%) Artemis Kimbo
8
8/1(-60%)
(1) Artemis Kimbo 8/1, Fair winning novice hurdler last season. Let down by jumping on chase/handicap bow at Hexham on return 11 days ago. Return to further may help. Didn't get far on recent chase/handicap debut but remains unexposed.
6
4th (6) (5/1 -100%) Ya Know Yaseff
5
5/1(-100%)
(6) Ya Know Yaseff 5/1, Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicaps at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.7f) in September. Quickly bounced back when second at Plumpton 4 weeks ago and respected despite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Largely in good form since blinkers were added but would appeal more on better ground.
3
5th (3) (7/1 +22%) Lady Of The Night
7
7/1(+22%)
(3) Lady Of The Night 7/1, Novice hurdle winner in 2021/22 season. Lost her way over fences after a promising start and fared no better back over hurdles when last seen in May. Seems to have lost her way but will be hard to beat here if refreshed by a break.
2
|PU| (2) (18/1 -200%) Grasse D'oliverie
18
18/1(-200%)
(2) Grasse D'oliverie 18/1, Bounced back to capitalise on a handy mark at Market Rasen in April and given a considerate return from a 7-month break at Wetherby 17 days ago. Back over fences now but she didn't convince as a chaser in France. Hurdle winner in the spring; makes chasing debut after low-key reappearance last month.
LTO Selection:
12:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Ya Know Yaseff arrives in good heart and David Pipe's mare makes more appeal than most. However, the drop in trip to 2m4f might leave the daughter of Jet Away vulnerable, with PRESENTING A QUEEN shading the vote. The six-year-old should have learned plenty from her chase debut when third at Wincanton last month and any natural improvement for that reappearance could make her tough to pass. Artemis Kimbo and Lady Of The Night are others to note.
HEVA ROSE is potentially thrown-in back over fences and her yard couldn't be in any better form, so she's worth chancing on her return. Presenting A Queen offered something to work on when third on chase bow/return and is feared most.
It might be worth chancing LADY OF THE NIGHT, who will be hard to beat at this level if back on song after her break.
(2) Colours On Canvas 9/2, Shaped well when fourth on debut in a big-field Naas maiden hurdle (16.3f, soft) during the spring. Will surely go close here if able to build on that starting out for new connections. It was a decent maiden hurdle at Naas in which he finished fourth of 23.
4
2nd (4) (5/2 +50%) Pyrotechnic
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(4) Pyrotechnic 5/2, Fair form in just 2 races on Flat in France and was in need of experience and considerately handled on hurdling debut at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) earlier this month, in what was almost certainly a better race than this. Open to improvement. Flat winner in France; showed up well for a long way in what looked a good Ascot novice.
5
3rd (5) (9/1 +36%) Royal Defender
9
9/1(+36%)
(5) Royal Defender 9/1, Point winner who showed glimmers of ability in a couple of bumpers last season but well held following a wind op on return/hurdles debut at Ascot. Beat a good horse in his Irish point but opposable on what he has shown under rules.
6
4th (6) (13/8 -30%) Sao Carlos
1.625
13/8(-30%)
(6) Sao Carlos 13/8, Justified favouritism when making a successful debut in a Market Rasen bumper (16.6f, good to soft) on Boxing Day last year. Absent since but bring obvious potential to the table now switched to hurdles. Bought for £190,000 after a winning his bumper and he beat some notable opposition.
1
5th (1) (25/1 -79%) Aworkinprogress
25
25/1(-79%)
(1) Aworkinprogress 25/1, €92,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler City Derby. Hardly set the world alight in a couple of maiden points earlier this year but it will nevertheless be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting on this Rules debut. Tailed off in his first Irish point and was last to complete in the second.
3
6th (3) (22/1 -10%) Lone Soldier
22
22/1(-10%)
(3) Lone Soldier 22/1, Green sole outing in bumpers and shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling after 9 months off at Newton Abbot last month. However, subsequently tailed off in a Stratford novice. Positives to take from his bumper debut but he's finished well beaten in both his hurdles.
7
7th (7) (10/1 +29%) Stenatee
10
10/1(+29%)
(7) Stenatee 10/1, Ran out a wide-margin winner of 17f minor event at Angouleme on sole Flat outing for A. Chaille-Chaille in March 2022. However, offered little starting out over hurdles at Sandown recently and Jamie Moore prefers Pyrotechnic. French winner; pulled hard and ended up tailed off in a maiden at Sandown.
8
8th (8) (66/1 -313%) Stopnsearch
66
66/1(-313%)
(8) Stopnsearch 66/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) but has failed to trouble the judge both starts in this sphere to date. Well beaten in his two hurdles last season and he's not the force of old on the Flat.
LTO Selection:
13:10 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SAO CARLOS was a strongly supported favourite when he made a winning debut in a bumper at Market Rasen and the five-year-old is a highly appealing option, with in-form Sean Bowen booked for the ride on his hurdling debut. Former point-to-pointer Aworkinprogress, a 92,000 euro-purchase, is also considered on his introduction under Rules, while Colours On Canvas also commands respect on his first run for a new yard.
French Flat winner PYROTECHNIC should be much sharper following his recent hurdles debut at Ascot, a race won by a potentially useful novice from the Nicky Henderson yard, and he earns the vote. Colours On Canvas shaped well on his sole start for previous connections in Ireland and is feared most, albeit bumper winner Sao Carlos is also accorded a good deal of respect.
Olly Murphy's SAO CARLOS could be a useful prospect. He had some decent horses behind him when winning his bumper.
(2) Git Maker 9/4, Point winner who was 3-4 over hurdles and made it 2-4 in this sphere when landing a 4-runner Catterick handicap (25.2f, soft) in January. 5 lb higher mark to overcome following a 10-month absence but, like stablemate Super Survivor, his best days may still be ahead of him. 2-4 over fences and has the potential to rate higher this season; stays well.
1
2nd (1) (2/1 +11%) Super Survivor
2
2/1(+11%)
(1) Super Survivor 2/1, Dual hurdles winner who built on chase debut promise when scoring at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) last December. Not in quite same form at Uttoxeter when last seen in March but he remains open to improvement in this sphere and is greatly respected. Yard also saddles Git Maker. Thorough stayer and this is reportedly a prep race for the Welsh National.
4
3rd (4) (9/2 +63%) Eureka Creek
4.5
9/2(+63%)
(4) Eureka Creek 9/2, Successful Irish pointer/hurdler who made an impressive winning start to life over fences in 3-runner handicap at Uttoxeter last November. Disappointing since, though, and she now has a bit to prove. Betting suggested her comeback run was needed but she's got a bit to prove now.
3
4th (3) (14/1 -300%) Morning Spirit
14
14/1(-300%)
(3) Morning Spirit 14/1, Off the mark over fences at Carlisle last November last year but in-and-out since and reappearance effort at that Cumbrian venue was uninspiring. Return may have been needed; easy to make a case off this mark on his best form.
5
|PU| (5) (7/2 -17%) Just A Dime
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(5) Just A Dime 7/2, Failed to fire in 2 handicap hurdles last winter but did win a course novice hurdle at Exeter in March 2022 and the fact he's a winning pointer provides hope he'll take to chasing. Has had wind surgery. Engaged 3.30 Exeter Monday. Winning pointer who didn't hang about over hurdles despite showing promise; had wind op.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Proven over the trip and with the ground in his favour, GIT MAKER, who has won five of his eight previous races under Rules, is hard to oppose at this level and is taken to expand on his progressive profile. The selection's stablemate Super Survivor has adapted well to chasing and is feared most, while Morning Spirit is not ruled out given he has plenty of experience in this discipline and could very easily exploit any weakness show by Jamie Snowden's pair on their seasonal reappearances.
Jamie Snowden saddled the winner of this last year and fields two strong candidates in GIT MAKER and Super Survivor this time round. The latter possesses the stronger form having accounted for some decent types at Chepstow last December but it looks significant that Gavin Sheehan partners Git Maker, who has won five of his eight starts under Rules and is armed with plenty of potential. Eureka Creek and Morning Spirit, though capable, both have a point to prove at present.
Super Survivor has more to offer but the same is true of stablemate GIT MAKER (nap), the preferred mount of Gavin Sheehan.
(4) Operation Manna 4/7, Added to his good record when fresh when the easy winner of a Sandown conditional jockey's handicap 9 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and will take a lot of stopping in the same form. Escapes a penalty for his wide-margin Sandown win so should be difficult to beat.
1
2nd (1) (10/3 +17%) Benassi
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(1) Benassi 10/3, Irish point recruit who had a good first season over hurdles, winning 2 of his 4 starts, including on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m) in April. Failed to fire in the Silver Trophy on his Chepstow reappearance but could get back on track in these calmer waters. Back down to earth on his reappearance but that was a Class 2 handicap on heavy.
2
3rd (2) (11/2 -38%) Rocky Man
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(2) Rocky Man 11/2, Looked promising sent handicapping at the beginning of last season but signed off with a poor run at Ayr in April and fared no better on his Cheltenham return last month. First-time blinkers need to help. Quiet return; much depends on what effect the new blinkers might have.
3
4th (3) (14/1 -87%) Casa Loupi
14
14/1(-87%)
(3) Casa Loupi 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler back in 2021 and returned from a long absence with a promising display on the Flat at Nottingham in May. Off another 6 months prior to pulling up back hurdling at Plumpton recently, though. Return of cheekpieces could help but he was disappointing at Plumpton recently.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A facile winner of a conditional riders' race at Sandown nine days ago, OPERATION MANNA has a lot going for him on these terms and, given he gets weight from the rest, a quick follow-up success is a distinct possibility, especially with Cameron Iles pitching in with his 7lb claim. Benassi showed promise last season and is dangerous to underestimate despite being pulled up on his return at Chepstow last month, while Rocky Man is not dismissed with blinkers tried for the first time.
A race which to a large extent revolves around OPERATION MANNA, who will likely go in again if in anything like the same form as at Sandown. Benassi was struggling a long way out in the Silver Trophy but can bounce back faced with a less-competitive scenario and chase Tom Lacey's charge home.
Tom Lacey's OPERATION MANNA escapes a penalty for his wide-margin win at Sandown and none of his rivals ran well last time out.
(7) What's My Line 7/1, Out of sorts when last seen in the spring but returns on a handy mark and would be worthy of interest if strong in the betting. Signed off last season on a bit of a downer and ideally he wants good ground.
5
2nd (5) (6/1 +40%) One Last Glance
6
6/1(+40%)
(5) One Last Glance 6/1, Fair maiden hurdler who hasn't been seen for 20 months. Handicapper has given him a chance but hard to know how much ability he retains. Placed in handicaps before; market support welcomed after so long out.
3
3rd (3) (10/3 +45%) Tellmesomethingood
3.333333
10/3(+45%)
(3) Tellmesomethingood 10/3, Unexposed hurdler who shaped with some encouragement (for Joe Tizzard) on his penultimate outing. Could step up now switched to handicaps after 8 months off. Some early promise and it was heavy ground last time; interesting handicap debutant.
1
4th (1) (9/2 +18%) Tara Iti
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(1) Tara Iti 9/2, Recorded a career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell in June. Lacklustre run at Plumpton only completed start since but cheekpieces go back on now. Has been running in a better grade and the return of cheekpieces might not be a bad thing.
9
5th (9) (66/1 -164%) Clondaw Robin
66
66/1(-164%)
(9) Clondaw Robin 66/1, Hurdles winner who has yet to taste success over fences. Will probably need this return from 6 months off, so others make more appeal. It was all a bit of a struggle back in the spring; 7lb out of the weights.
2
6th (2) (11/2 -120%) Good Time Ahead
5.5
11/2(-120%)
(2) Good Time Ahead 11/2, 22/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, soft) 8 days ago, always holding on. Capable of following up in a weak race if it doesn't come too soon. Has a penalty for last week but he's a C&D winner with less to prove than a lot of these.
4
7th (4) (33/1 -313%) Martin Spirit
33
33/1(-313%)
(4) Martin Spirit 33/1, Winner over fences in France and has hit the crossbar several times over hurdles. On a fair mark and fit from a Flat outing, so not completely dismissed. Capable hurdler but inconsistent and was tailed off on his most recent Flat run.
6
|F| (6) (10/1 -54%) Mi Sueno
10
10/1(-54%)
(6) Mi Sueno 10/1, Unexposed for current stable and arrives on the back of a creditable third at Plumpton. Could find some improvement if he settles better. Engaged 2.15 Plumpton Monday. Comfortably beaten even when placed this year and he remains a maiden.
8
|PU| (8) (9/2 +0%) Mickyh
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(8) Mickyh 9/2, Winning hurdler but has run poorly twice this season and first try over fences was disappointing at Worcester 112 days ago. Back with previous yard and interesting to see if they can turn him round. Potentially on a decent mark and he's back with his former trainer; not without hope.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GOOD TIME AHEAD sprang a 22/1 surprise when scoring at Fakenham last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him following up if he arrives in the same mood today. There is every chance of that, given he is a previous C&D winner, but Tara Iti and One Last Glance should be ready to pounce if the selection fluffs his lines.
GOOD TIME AHEAD had something to spare when scoring at Fakenham last week and, if he handles the quick turnaround, he could defy a penalty in a race where several have something to prove. Mi Sueno arrives in form and deserves respect, while handicap debutant Tellmesomethingood deserves a mention.
In an open race a chance is taken on MICKYH who has dropped to a good mark and is now back with his former yard.
(3) Kyntara 9/4, Point/debut bumper winner who has underachieved over hurdles to this point. Has left Kim Bailey since last seen 8 months ago, so worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour on handicap debut. Some of his form stacks up well with a view to this mark; new yard.
2
2nd (2) (7/2 +30%) Feivel
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(2) Feivel 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who made a winning start for the Stuart Edmunds yard in a 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in February. Let down by jumping since and seemed in need of the run back over hurdles at Aintree last month. Should be sharper here. On a fair mark and his recent return at Aintree may have blown away the cobwebs.
4
3rd (4) (5/4 -87%) Woodie Flash
1.25
5/4(-87%)
(4) Woodie Flash 5/4, Irish point winner who got back on the up to double his tally over hurdles at Warwick recently, looking well suited by the longer trip. Excellent claims of following up. Up 10lb for winning by 20l at Warwick; progressive enough to deal with that.
1
4th (1) (10/1 -25%) Young Merlin
10
10/1(-25%)
(1) Young Merlin 10/1, Three-time winner on the Flat and enjoyed a good summer over hurdles, landing a hat-trick (at up to 17.2f). Has lost his form since, though. He's run flat the last twice and there have to be stamina worries over this far.
LTO Selection:
15:28 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Kyntara has the form to go well off what looks a very workable mark, but he returns from a layoff and this looks like a good opportunity for WOODIE FLASH to complete a double. Olly Murphy's five-year-old made the most of a drop in class when running out a very easy winner over 3m2f at Warwick earlier in the month and although he has gone up 10lb for that, this doesn't look any tougher and a repeat performance should suffice. Young Merlin rates best of the rest.
WOODIE FLASH improved markedly for a step up in trip at Warwick recently and, while this isn't quite the same stamina test, he's likely to go in again. No Tackle is of interest returning to the scene of his maiden win and Kyntara is worthy of interest starting out for a new stable.
Olly Murphy's WOODIE FLASH won so well at Warwick that he might well be capable of defying the 10lb rise.

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.
