1st (4) Micks Jet (8/15 +62%)
Micks Jet

0.533333
8/15(+62%)
(4) Micks Jet 8/15, Cheltenham bumper winner last spring who was also third in a listed bumper there in November. Better effort in novice hurdles since (fair form) when 4 lengths third at Sedgefield last month. That bumper ability suggests there should be more to come.
Useful form in bumpers and promise on both hurdle starts; sets a good standard.

2nd (3) Josie Alice (9/2 +0%)
Josie Alice

4.5
9/2(+0%)
(3) Josie Alice 9/2, Winning Irish pointer. Modest form in 2 bumpers and a 3m course maiden hurdle for new connections but she's the type to do better before long.
Fair third over 3m here on rules debut and this shorter trip may be a better fit for now.

3rd (5) Miss Arabella (10/1 -82%)
Miss Arabella

10
10/1(-82%)
(5) Miss Arabella 10/1, Related to winners and runner-up on her final start in bumpers. Better effort over hurdles when 8 lengths second of 5 in 2m Southwell mares' maiden 82 days ago. Up in trip. Has had wind surgery since Southwell.
Has shown ability and the wind op and the step up in trip could prompt a bigger run.

Barrons Land

5
5/1(-43%)
(1) Barrons Land 5/1, Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut. Respected.
50-1 runner-up on bumper debut at Doncaster; could have part to play on first hurdle start.

Somebody's Fortune

16/1(+0%)
(7) Somebody's Fortune 16/1, Placed in points. 25/1, fifth of 10 in novice at Kelso (23f, heavy) on hurdle debut 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May do better.
Well-beaten fifth on rules debut at Kelso but this point runner-up is open to improvement.
2
6th (2) Ice Day (100/1 -203%)
Ice Day

100
100/1(-203%)
(2) Ice Day 100/1, 22/1, remote fifth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on debut 63 days ago. Unless the betting hints otherwise she's best watched now switching to hurdles.
There's potential in her pedigree but she was well beaten on her sole bumper start.
8
7th (8) Speranza Wilde (22/1 -175%)
Speranza Wilde

22
22/1(-175%)
(8) Speranza Wilde 22/1, £32,000 purchase after winning a point last January. Needed experience when remote fifth on Fairyhouse hurdle debut 12 months later. Should be wider now and worth a precautionary betting check.
Point winner who needs to improve upon her hurdle debut fifth, but that's possible.

Whosmydaddy

3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(7) Whosmydaddy 10/3, No significant impact in maiden/novice hurdles but this point winner could prove a different proposition now handicap chasing in first-time headgear. Market confidence could prove significant.
No form claims but early days; he has new trip and first-time headgear for handicap debut.
8
2nd (8) Dr Shirocco (13/2 -18%)
Dr Shirocco

6.5
13/2(-18%)
(8) Dr Shirocco 13/2, Finally off the mark under Rules at Hexham in June and followed up over 2½m here (good to soft) 5 months later. Didn't find much when only sixth here (2½m again) on New Year's Day but he's a player on those winning efforts.
Well below form on soft here in hat-trick bid last time; bit to prove over this far.
5
3rd (5) Frankie Faulkner (4/1 +50%)
Frankie Faulkner

4
4/1(+50%)
(5) Frankie Faulkner 4/1, Point/maiden hurdle winner. Made a solid start to his handicap chase career in the autumn but needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since. Cheekpieces are added.
Backward steps on last three starts and connections turn to headgear.
6
4th (6) Get With It (17/2 +6%)
Get With It

8.5
17/2(+6%)
(6) Get With It 17/2, Dual chase scorer around 3m in the first half of last season. Has come down in the weights but hasn't been showing enough to suggest he's likely to take advantage.
Both wins in 2022; C&D last two outings, with penultimate effort giving him a squeak.
2
5th (2) Shadows In The Sky (9/2 +25%)
Shadows In The Sky

4.5
9/2(+25%)
(2) Shadows In The Sky 9/2, Showed he can make an impact from his mark when third of 11 over C&D in December but not in anything like the same form when pulled up at Catterick since. Needs a return to this venue to spark a revival.
Stayed on strongly for C&D third; 3m6f may well have played some part (not all) on latest.
3
6th (3) Canelo (12/1 -50%)
Canelo

12
12/1(-50%)
(3) Canelo 12/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time, finishing a well-held sixth on his completed start this season. Could only consider if backed.
Return of cheekpieces (last worn in March 2022) may well be a positive; worth market check.
1
7th (1) Without Conviction (17/2 -70%)
Without Conviction

8.5
17/2(-70%)
(1) Without Conviction 17/2, Winner at Ayr (3m) last March and recorded a couple of good runner-up efforts at Hexham in the autumn. Ran one of her lesser races at Kelso last time but has been dropped 3 lb for it. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Respected.
Needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso and now has cheekpieces first time.
4
|PU| (4) Fiston Du Mou (22/1 -389%)
Fiston Du Mou

22
22/1(-389%)
(4) Fiston Du Mou 22/1, Three-time winner over fences who returned to form when second at Sedgefield in October. Failed to back that up when a remote fourth there the following month. Off 94 days.
Creditable runner-up on the second of his three runs this autumn; off three months.
9

Get 'em In

18
18/1(-13%)
(9) Get 'em In 18/1, Showed little over hurdles and similar story over fences to date, pulling up here last time.
Ten-race maiden who lacks solid form claims; 3lb out of the handicap.

Balkardy

6.5
13/2(-63%)
(2) Balkardy 13/2, Consistent as they come at this level, once again giving his running in staying Ffos Las handicap hurdle 17 days ago. Can make presence felt in re-fitted cheekpieces.
Runner-up on first four runs back and a respectable third on latest outing; shortlisted.
5
2nd (5) Jem In Em (13/2 -8%)
Jem In Em

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(5) Jem In Em 13/2, Bumper winner who confirmed previous encouragement in this sphere when scoring at Kelso (25.8f) in October. It's been hard work twice since (looks a thorough stayer) and this stronger headgear will help.
Won at Kelso (3m2f, soft); ran in snatches in respectable 4th since; different headgear.
3
3rd (3) Cardamon Hill (33/1 -32%)
Cardamon Hill

33
33/1(-32%)
(3) Cardamon Hill 33/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Fair efforts first 2 starts in handicap chases for present yard but has lost his way, never involved back over hurdles here a fortnight ago. Could only be fancied if supported in the betting back up in distance.
Below form last three starts, back hurdling here on latest; seen mostly over shorter.
1
4th (1) Call Me Harry (3/1 -9%)
Call Me Harry

3
3/1(-9%)
(1) Call Me Harry 3/1, Goes well at this track (C&D scorer in November), is unexposed as a stayer and showed improved form despite a shoddy round of jumping when second over C&D on New Year's Day, rallying but always held. Up 3 lb but risky with the potential for mistakes.
Got rid of his jockey two runs back; first and second over this C&D on starts either side.
7
5th (7) Valleyview Tommy (11/4 +45%)
Valleyview Tommy

2.75
11/4(+45%)
(7) Valleyview Tommy 11/4, Irish point runner-up is bred to stay well and has shown fair form in a pair of starts over hurdles so far, second of 8 in novice here (19.8f, soft, 7/2) on latter occasion. Respected handicap newcomer up in trip for good yard.
Placed both hurdle runs; upped in trip but should be capable of improvement in handicaps.
4
6th (4) Masked Crusader (12/1 -50%)
Masked Crusader

12
12/1(-50%)
(4) Masked Crusader 12/1, Landed a pair of novice hurdles in 2022. Temperament has come under suspicion since, although he showed a bit more back over hurdles at Catterick 7 weeks ago. Potentially interesting off a low mark on first crack over this sort of trip.
12lb below opening mark; possible to argue that first rules outing beyond 2m4f will help.
8
7th (8) So Many Roads (7/2 +50%)
So Many Roads

3.5
7/2(+50%)
(8) So Many Roads 7/2, Much improved when justifying support on handicap debut in 17-runner contest at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) a year ago. Not so good this term though and this looks tough. Tongue tie goes on.
Each-way option if bouncing back from latest start and he has tongue tied first time.
6
8th (6) Sean Og (40/1 -186%)
Sean Og

40
40/1(-186%)
(6) Sean Og 40/1, Has gone well back over hurdles the last twice and suspect this longer trip will suit but he's probably still high enough in the weights.
Ran well last two starts but is not on a great mark; plenty to prove at 3m and in the mud.

Captain Quint

3.5
7/2(+50%)
(2) Captain Quint 7/2, Won on his chase debut at Hexham last season and added to that in a match at Ayr (20.5f) in March. Back to form when runner-up to a thriving rival over C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago and he's respect with cheekpieces now applied.
Runner-up over C&D recently despite not jumping well; a possible in first-time cheekpieces.
4
2nd (4) Massini Man (10/3 +52%)
Massini Man

3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(4) Massini Man 10/3, Thrived after joining this yard from John Groucott last season, scoring twice in handicap chases at this course (over C&D on the second occasion). Ran close to best when third in a higher grade over C&D last time and he's expected to be in the mix again.
Two-time course winner who was fair third over C&D recently and might not be far away.
8
3rd (8) So They Say (4/1 -33%)
So They Say

4
4/1(-33%)
(8) So They Say 4/1, Lightly-raced hurdler confirmed the promise of her chase debut when winning 7-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 44 days ago. Didn't look to have loads in hand there but she's less exposed than most and can't be discounted from 7 lb higher mark.
Won over C&D on second chase start and form has been franked; could have more to offer.
6
4th (6) Return Fire (5/1 +33%)
Return Fire

5
5/1(+33%)
(6) Return Fire 5/1, Likeable type and made the most of a good opportunity after 5 months off when scoring at Hexham on return. Rare below-par effort when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Carlisle (26.2f, soft) 63 days ago but appeals as one who should bounce back quickly.
Didn't see out Carlisle's stiff 3m2f but in good form prior; should be fine at this trip.
1
5th (1) Grey Skies (11/2 -10%)
Grey Skies

5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Grey Skies 11/2, Dual winner in novice company last spring and wasn't beaten far back from a break at Carlisle (21f, soft) in December. Another sound effort when seconf at Market Rasen last time but return to further doesn't immediately appeal as a positive.
Rules wins have come over shorter but he's at a sharp track today and arrives in good form.
7

Honey I'm Good

40
40/1(+0%)
(7) Honey I'm Good 40/1, Notched 3 chase wins between April and July but rform has tailed off badly of late and application of cheekpieces needs to spark her back to life.
Won last year on her first three chase starts but struggling for form more recently.
3
7th (3) No Regrets (15/2 -67%)
No Regrets

7.5
15/2(-67%)
(3) No Regrets 15/2, Notched a second success over fences when landing 3m Hexham handicap in June. Back from a break with two good placed runs at Southwell and Kelso so he's on the shortlisted on return from another 3-month absence.
Has done well in these cheekpieces; every chance he'll be bang there once more.

Sanosuke

6.5
13/2(-18%)
(1) Sanosuke 13/2, Fair on the Flat in Ireland and he got off the mark in this sphere when seeing off 10 rivals over 23.8f here in November. Good third of 9 over C&D after a 6 lb rise last time so he's one for the shortlist.
A win and a fair 3rd over 3m here the last twice and should be fine now back down in trip.

(10) Everyonesacritic 11/1, Fetched £40,000 after winning his sole start in Irish points and hinted at promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, soft). Never a factor at Taunton but looks the type to do much better now handicapping.
Hasn't shown much over hurdles but this point winner goes handicapping off a basement mark.

Beat The Retreat

(3) Beat The Retreat 7/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (18f, soft, 9/1) in December. Heavily backed to follow up over 20.5f there a fortnight later but was hampered early and could never get involved.
Won at Ayr on second handicap start and hampered twice when well beaten there since.

Theirshegoes

Merely fifth over 3m here the last twice but could benefit from this drop back in trip.
12

Kurphy

(12) Kurphy 25/1, Well held in bumpers and on qualifying runs over hurdles, though hadn't yet been asked for effort when making a chance-ending mistake on handicap debut here in November. Ran no sort of race at Sedgefield since, though.
Has struggled in first two handicaps and lots of improvement is needed now in cheekpieces.

Wotyoudunnow Buddy

9
9/1(-50%)
(8) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 9/1, Showed fair form on the second of 3 outings in bumpers. Little impact in novice hurdles but handicaps provided him with a more realistic chance and he found only one too good in blinkers at Catterick 16 days ago.
Kept on for encouraging 2nd on handicap debut and could be in the mix now back up in trip.
4
7th (4) Barney Stinson (8/1 +60%)
Barney Stinson

8
8/1(+60%)
(4) Barney Stinson 8/1, Long-standing maiden who doesn't appear to be about to buck that trend despite a sliding mark, often held back by jumping.
Hasn't really shone this winter but on a dangerous mark and not discounted.
2
8th (2) Blow The Budget (25/1 -150%)
Blow The Budget

25
25/1(-150%)
(2) Blow The Budget 25/1, Modest in bumpers and showed more on third hurdles outing when fifth of 12 in novice at Ayr (16f, soft) in December. Prominent in the betting on handicap debut fitted with a tongue tie but she proved to be a disappointment. Up in trip.
Disappointing on last month's handicap debut but promise previously and not written off.
11

Kian Calling

20
20/1(+0%)
(11) Kian Calling 20/1, Showed some promise in bumpers and, while he's yet to match that encouragement over hurdles, there's scope for him to do better with his belated reappearance under his belt.
Pulled up in December when back from long absence but not a forlorn hope off basement mark.
7
10th (7) Eden Mill (4/1 +33%)

(7) Eden Mill 4/1, Resumed with a good second at Kelso (21f, soft) in November and built on that when scoring with a good deal to spare over the same C&D next time. Found less than looked likely at Newcastle last time and a tongue tie goes on again.
Easy win at Kelso in November; below par since but no surprise if he bounces back.

(9) Blazing Hartingo 4/1, Has looked limited and temperamental over both hurdles and fences but managed to place at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Not completely ruled out in a weak contest.
Lightly raced 6yo who was a fair third at Sedgefield last Wednesday and is not discounted.

(3) Bashful 6/4, Improved to double his tally in this sphere (has a good strike rate on the Flat) over C&D last time and 5-lb rise seems reasonable, so he's worth a chance to follow up.
Won in good style over C&D a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise may not stop him today.

Lowly mark, 4yo allowance and first-time hood could all be positives on handicap debut.

(2) Cancan 9/2, 5/1, creditable 3¼ lengths third of 10 to Bashful in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. On better terms with that rival now and mark remains appealing.
Just 1-16 but has run some good races in defeat here and could be thereabouts.

(5) Copper Fox 11/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) 37 days ago. Becoming well treated and latest effort was a step back in the right direction.
Ran well when fourth over 2m4f at Sedgefield and this drop back in trip could bear fruit.

(8) We Still Believe 13/2, Reacted well to a visor when second here last month and backed it up with a solid showing at Catterick. Likely to give another good account.
Has bumped into handicap blots when runner-up the last twice; a win may well be imminent.

(7) Don't Look Back 66/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1m) but well held completed starts in this sphere, including on debut for this stable in C&D handicap last time.
Well beaten at 100-1 over C&D recently on his handicap hurdle and stable debut.

15/2(-67%)
(9) Spanish Hustle 15/2, Fair on the Flat but hasn't done much over hurdles and failed to beat a rival on the level at Newcastle a month ago. Hard to make a solid case for.
Has never shone over hurdles but 4 Flat wins last year and not ruled out back in this code.

8th (6) Cliffs Of Dooneen (50/1 -100%)

50/1(-100%)
(6) Cliffs Of Dooneen 50/1, Won a Carlisle handicap hurdle in April 2022 but not seen since finishing well held on the Flat in August of that year. Watching brief is the percentage call given the length of the lay-off.
Trainer can bring one back from a layoff with a big run, but others have less to prove.

66/1(-843%)
(4) All Ways And Ever 66/1, Limited on the Flat and similar form over hurdles, albeit she made a positive step when runner-up in a novice at Hexham 4 months ago on stable debut. Mark demands more.
Inconsistent ex-Irish maiden but on a fair mark for this first handicap hurdle.

(10) Lifetime Adventure 11/1, Modest maiden hurdler who shaped better than the distance beaten when sixth at Uttoxeter last time. Needs more to defy current mark, though.
Inconsistent ten-race maiden but runner-up two starts ago and not discounted.

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.
