---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (11) (7/1 -56%) Kruger Park |
7/1(-56%) | (11) Kruger Park 7/1, Didn't pull up any trees in a trio of novice hurdles before Christmas but he's from a top stable and upped his game when second at Fontwell last month. Tongue tied for handicap debut at Fontwell (2m6f, soft) when beaten a head; needs better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (6/1 +33%) Il Va De Soi |
6/1(+33%) | (12) Il Va De Soi 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. May yet have a bigger effort in him and its too soon to write him off. Heavy defeat when co-favourite for handicap debut (2m3f, good to soft); cheekpieces go on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (10/3 +0%) Soldierofthestorm |
10/3(+0%) | (10) Soldierofthestorm 10/3, Comfortable winner of a Warwick maiden (2m) on his hurdles debut in May. Firmly back on track having attracted support when landing a 7-runner handicap at Hereford last time and he's capable of defying a rise. Up 6lb after Hereford win (2m4f, soft); could still be a work in progress, with potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (28/1 -133%) Knockanore |
28/1(-133%) | (2) Knockanore 28/1, A dual hurdles winner last term and he resumed with a good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Aintree. Fell at Cheltenham next time but has been given time to recover. Good third on reappearance; fell two out (not far away but under pressure) in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (8/1 -7%) The Bomber Liston |
8/1(-7%) | (7) The Bomber Liston 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler who didn't convince in trio of starts over fences earlier this year. Took a step back in the right direction when third in Ludlow handicap hurdle last time but needs to build on that now. Down the weights and has a place chance but others are more convincing for the win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/2 +0%) Thunderclap |
9/2(+0%) | (6) Thunderclap 9/2, 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, soft) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. May well have more to offer and he makes plenty of appeal. Won comfortably at Kempton (2m5f, soft; acts on heavy) on first foray beyond 2m1f; up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (28/1 -40%) Sizing Pottsie |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Sizing Pottsie 28/1, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 and, on his first run following another breathing op, he hit the crossbar in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap (heavy) in November. That form hasn't worked out, though, and he's run poorly since. Close second of five in November, before three lesser efforts; rarely seen over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (6/1 +50%) Havaila |
6/1(+50%) | (9) Havaila 6/1, Resumed winning ways in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sandown ( heavy) in January but failed to back it up at Ascot subsequently. Needs to bounce back quickly. Sandown win (2m4f, soft) in January; flop at Ascot (2m7f) 13 days ago, which was a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (17/2 +29%) Hercules Morse |
17/2(+29%) | (1) Hercules Morse 17/2, Blue Bresil gelding who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in Ffos Las maiden (2½m, soft) over a year ago. Probably needed run when sixth in handicap at Exeter on only start since and he's still unexposed. Tailed off on return; back down in trip and may strip fitter this time, for in-form yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (20/1 -100%) Farmer's Gamble |
20/1(-100%) | (3) Farmer's Gamble 20/1, Scored over C&D last season and looked back to form before falling in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter 3 months ago. Returns to smaller obstacles on a reasonable mark. Back over hurdles off a competitive mark; step back down in trip asks a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (33/1 -175%) Douglas Dc |
33/1(-175%) | (5) Douglas Dc 33/1, A fairly useful hurdler in Ireland for Gordon Elliott who shaped well on his yard debut when fourth in a handicap at Ascot (15.7f) in December. Has shaped as if still in form since. Last two placings do not read so well; not proven beyond 2m1f and unraced over this far. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THUNDERCLAP relished the step up in trip when scoring at Kempton last time out and a 6lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up at a track that should suit. Soldierofthestorm arrives with similar claims after a taking success at Hereford, while Kruger Park should have more to come following a narrow defeat on handicap debut at Fontwell. Others to note include Farmer's Gamble, Havaila and The Bomber Liston.
SOLDIEROFTHESTORM was gambled on when landing a Hereford handicap with something in hand last time, so he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of fellow last-time-out winner Thunderclap. Kruger Park is another one of interest.
The last-time-out wins registered by THUNDERCLAP and Soldierofthestorm came in taking style. Farmer's Gamble is next on the list

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (7/2 +42%) Ithaca's Arrow |
7/2(+42%) | (5) Ithaca's Arrow 7/2, Fairly useful on the Flat and while he was beaten a long way in a Kempton juvenile during the Christmas period, he has gone close either side of that at Sandown and Ludlow (both at around 2m on heavy/soft respectively). His form stacks up pretty well and another bold show could be on the way. Underperformed on second go over hurdles but went close in the mud on starts either side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/6 +53%) Le Fauve |
5/6(+53%) | (6) Le Fauve 5/6, Bought for €105,000 after going down by a nose at Bordeaux on his hurdling debut and promising third in Aintree listed event on first run for new yard in December. No show in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham since but he has to be of strong interest with his sights lowered here. The best form chance in this field, having run in Listed event and Grade 2 last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (20/1 +20%) Glorious Lion |
20/1(+20%) | (4) Glorious Lion 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson and while his hurdles debut was inauspicious (first-flight faller), he put in a clear round when fourth of 11 in a Ludlow juvenile next time. Still, a big step forward will be needed if he's to play a leading role in this contest. 20-1, weakened to go down by about 12l when fourth of 11 at Ludlow (2m, soft) last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 +29%) Yellow Star |
5/2(+29%) | (2) Yellow Star 5/2, Fairly useful form at best on the Flat and stepped up on hurdles debut third to subsequent Grade 2 winner Kalif du Berlais at Kempton when narrowly landing a 2m Lingfield novice (soft) last month, pulling well clear of the rest with the runner-up Be Aware. Should make his presence felt. Responded well to win by a neck in seven-runner novice at Lingfield (2m, soft) last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (200/1 -700%) Voix De Bocelli |
200/1(-700%) | (7) Voix De Bocelli 200/1, Fair form in France for Francois Nicolle but he's opposable on debut for new yard in what looks a pretty warm race. Ran in four French hurdle races last June-October, third when blinkered in two claimers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A determined winner at Lingfield last month and third behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner in Kalif Du Berlais at Kempton on debut, YELLOW STAR may have enough to overcome a 6lb penalty for his in-form connections. Swift Hawk couldn't have done it much easier on his hurdles bow at Taunton, but he will need to prove himself on soft ground. Narrowly denied on two of his three starts in this sphere, Ithaca's Arrow must also enter calculations.
The placed horses haven't done much for the form of the Taunton juvenile in which SWIFT HAWK made a winning starts over hurdles, but he did the job in good style and may well find the necessary improvement to make it 2-2 in this sphere. Le Fauve is an obvious threat on the strength of his British debut third at Aintree, while Yellow Star got the better of a promising type at Lingfield recently and, along with Ithaca's Arrow, he should have a part to play.
Slight preference is for the form pick LE FAUVE but Swift Hawk, Yellow Star and Ithaca's Arrow are serious rivals.

Issar D'airy |
(1) (13/8 +28%)13/8(+28%) | (1) Issar D'airy 13/8, Progressive 6-y-o who has made a fine start over fences, landing back-to-back handicaps at around 2m here in recent months, coming clear with another progressive sort latest. 6 lb rise looks perfectly fair and sound claims in hat-trick bid with return to further holding no fears. 2-2 since switched to fences, both wins over 2m here; won at 2m4f over hurdles; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (5/2 +62%) Martator |
5/2(+62%) | (5) Martator 5/2, Useful winning hurdler in France. Not at that level for present stable but proving consistent over fences this campaign, second behind Issar D'airy here prior to another creditable third at Carlisle (2m) 25 days ago. Handy pull at weights with aforementioned rival now stepping back up in trip. Form figures over fences read 333223; ties in with Issar d'Airy on penultimate effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +11%) Ballycamus |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Ballycamus 4/1, Made a successful debut over fences at Chepstow in December and resumed his progress with success in 6-runner handicap at Warwick (20f, heavy) 39 days ago. This rates tougher but further improvement not discounted. Warwick success (in lower grade) took his chase record to 2-3; may improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Ioupy Collonges |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Ioupy Collonges 4/1, Bumper winner who was steadily progressive over hurdles last season, winning 2 of his 4 starts. Faltered quickly on return/chase debut at Chepstow in October (had irregular heartbeat) but given plenty of time since and he shouldn't be underestimated for leading stable. Found to have an irregular heartbeat on sole run this term; progressive otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/4 +45%) Passing Well |
6/4(+45%) | (2) Passing Well 6/4, Dual hurdles winner who confirmed promise of chase debut when landing 5-runner Lingfield handicap (20f) in November. Improved when third over extended 22f here next time but disappointing run faced with deep ground at Exeter to shrug off. Close third, behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner, here on penultimate outing; possibilities. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
It is difficult to look past ISSAR D'AIRY following a pair of victories here on his first two starts over fences. Soft ground should be in his favour once again, and a mark of 126 could still underestimate the six-year-old's ability as he steps up in trip against comfortable Warwick scorer Ballycamus, who has a similar profile. Martator (second) has over four lengths to find with the selection from their meeting in December, but cannot be ruled out.
ISSAR D'AIRY maintained his unbeaten record over fences when landing a second course handicap in determined fashion 38 days ago and, with further progress distinctly possible now stepping back up in trip, he can complete the hat-trick. Martator is capable of defying his present mark and should be up to pushing his old rival close with a handy pull at the weights.
Topweight ISSAR D'AIRY (nap) is taken to complete a Newbury hat-trick. Passing Well is feared most.

1st (2) (10/11 +55%) Toss Of A Coin |
10/11(+55%) | (2) Toss Of A Coin 10/11, €150,000 recruit from the pointing field who landed the odds on his 21.5f Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) in December. Can be expected to improve and leading claims for top yard with good recent record in this. Not particularly impressive when winning on rules debut but should have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/4 -56%) Ballybentragh |
5/4(-56%) | (1) Ballybentragh 5/4, Irish point winner who made a successful start over hurdles in 8-runner novice (6/1) at Sandown (2m, heavy) 5 weeks ago, overcoming a bad error 2 out. This longer trip looks sure to play to his strengths. Too good for short-odds favourite on rules debut in January; up from 2m today; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (17/2 +39%) Amarillobymorning |
17/2(+39%) | (3) Amarillobymorning 17/2, £58,000 buy after finishing second in his sole point in April 2022. It's taken a bit of time to get him to the track but his in-form stable won this race last year. Tongue tied. Market support could prove significant. Second of three on Irish point debut in April 2022; makes rules debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (33/1 +50%) Just Chasing May |
33/1(+50%) | (5) Just Chasing May 33/1, Mid-division in a bumper and novice hurdle 12 months apart. Amarillobymorning has to be considered the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise. Made low-key start to hurdling career when tailed off at Hereford (2m5f) in January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (50/1 -52%) An Cailin Ciuin |
50/1(-52%) | (7) An Cailin Ciuin 50/1, Had 2 outings at Punchestown for Mags Mullins at the end of 2023, finishing last of 6 in a listed mares' hurdle before finishing mid-field in a bumper. A watching brief is advised. Placed in Irish points and has also shown ability in bumpers; others look stronger, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BALLYBENTRAGH won well over 2m on his Rules debut at Sandown in January and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite having to carry a 6lb penalty. That said, Toss Of A Coin has a similar profile to the selection and is an obvious threat, while Amarillobymorning and Huffin An A Puffin are others who make the shortlist.
TOSS OF A COIN is taken to build on his Exeter success before Christmas and provide the Paul Nicholls yard with a third win in this race in the last 4 years. Fellow hurdle winner Ballybentragh is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the hurdle newcomers.
Ballybentragh is respected but preference is for TOSS OF A COIN, who was not fully extended when successful on his rules debut

1st (5) (11/10 +56%) I'd Like To Know |
11/10(+56%) | (5) I'd Like To Know 11/10, Promising individual who upped his game when close second of 6 in C&D handicap (soft) on debut over fences 38 days ago. 4 lb higher now but looks the type to progress further over the larger obstacles. Made a promising chase debut in C&D event most recently, going down narrowly; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (8/1 +27%) Real Stone |
8/1(+27%) | (2) Real Stone 8/1, Jumped superbly when taking apart a small field at Haydock (16.3f) in November. Not been in same form since but handicaper is relenting and he has had a wind operation since his last start. More exposed than some of these rivals and doesn't look especially well treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/4 -63%) Demnat |
9/4(-63%) | (1) Demnat 9/4, Back from 32-month absence when easy winner of Ludlow handicap chase (20f, soft) last month. 10 lb higher now but he remains with potential and will be a danger to all if in same form again. Ex-French 7yo who scored easily at Ludlow on British debut and return from long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -100%) Fast Buck |
28/1(-100%) | (4) Fast Buck 28/1, Belatedly doubled his tally over fences when landing a small-field Wincanton handicap (15.7f) in January but wasn't in same form at Sandown latest and lacks potential of some of his rivals here. Won at Wincanton in January but inconsistent otherwise this term; exposed 10yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 -35%) Kansas City Star |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Kansas City Star 9/2, Off the mark at the first time of asking for Harry Derham when taking 6-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, soft) on debut over fences 36 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and likely has more to offer yet. Ex-Irish 7yo who made all at Huntingdon on chase/stable debut; should have more to offer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Cases can be made for all of these, but none more so than DEMNAT. Venetia Williams' gelding could hardly have been more impressive when winning by 15 lengths on his stable debut at Ludlow last month and, given that was his first start since June 2021, improvement can be expected. Kansas City Star also won on his debut outing for this yard and has to be of interest, while I'd Like To Know is next best.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW has the physique for chasing and pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up on his debut in this sphere over C&D in January, He is fancied to go one better. Kansas City Star and Demnat are also much respected in what looks a cracking contest.
Demnat may prove hard to beat if avoiding the bounce. I'D LIKE TO KNOW and Kansas City Star are the other unexposed runners.

1st (6) (13/2 +54%) Tanganyika |
13/2(+54%) | (6) Tanganyika 13/2, Improved for the step up to a staying trip when scoring at Bangor (23f) in December. Respectable efforts in defeat next 2 starts but was in the process of running when departing at Sandown last time. Backward steps on last two starts, whereas to win this probably requires a career best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (20/1 -167%) Super Survivor |
20/1(-167%) | (4) Super Survivor 20/1, Dual novice hurdle winner in early 2022 who had a positive profile over fences prior to running poorly last 2 starts. Switch back to hurdling needs to have a positive effect. Returns to hurdling after flops in his last two chases, Welsh National on first occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +33%) High Game Royal |
4/1(+33%) | (5) High Game Royal 4/1, Built on maiden/novice promise when making a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Chepstow (19.5f) on final start of last season. Has shaped well all 3 outings over fences this term but does have stamina to prove now stepping up to 3m for the first time back over the smaller obstacles. Below form in his latest chase; bit to prove over new trip back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 -10%) Hermino Aa |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Hermino Aa 11/2, Proved at least as good as ever when second of 14 in a handicap hurdle at Sandown (23.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, sticking to task. Remains unexposed as a stayer and another good run seems likely. Second of 14 in Grade 3 handicap over 2m7f at Sandown last time; should have a big shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (16/5 +29%) Young Butler |
16/5(+29%) | (2) Young Butler 16/5, Has often looked ungenuine but improved on first outing since leaving Emma Lavelle when landing 11-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) in November, keeping on well. The runner-up won a handicap off 5 lb higher recently, so his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Won last May and November, latterly over C&D for new yard; up another 6lb but progressing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6/1 -20%) Man At Work |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Man At Work 6/1, Fell last sole start in Irish points but looked potentially useful in making a winning hurdling bow at Aintree (20f) in November 2022. Absent since disappointing up in grade at Sandown the following month, but the booking of Harry Cobden is an interesting one. Had breathing op/also tongue tied. Off 455 days; wind surgery and now tongue tied; 2m4f novice win in 2022 looked exciting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (7/2 -40%) G A Henty |
7/2(-40%) | (7) G A Henty 7/2, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who shaped well on first run since leaving Tom George when second in a 7-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft, 9/4) 52 days ago, clear of rest. Steps up to 3m on this switch to handicaps and likely to go on improving. Well related; no shock if this handicap debut over 3m prompts more improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MAN AT WORK failed to fire on his most recent outing in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Sandown in December 2022. That said, he merits the utmost respect having beaten Grey Dawning and Henry's Friend prior to that defeat at Aintree and an opening mark of 126 should be workable. If he were to need the run, G A Henty would likely be the main beneficiary, ahead of Young Butler and Hermino Aa.
YOUNG BUTLER put a string of indolent displays behind him when digging deep to get the better of a course specialist on his first start for his current yard over C&D in November and a 6 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Hermino AA went down fighting at Sandown last month and remains unexposed as a stayer, while G A Henty and Man At Work are a couple of interesting handicap debutants.
Man At Work looked exciting initially in 2022. YOUNG BUTLER, G A Henty and Hermino AA appeal on this season's evidence.

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.
