1st (7) Bobby Shaftoe (1.62/1 +19%)
Bobby Shaftoe
1.62
1.62/1(+19%)
(7) Bobby Shaftoe 1.62/1, Found his niche over middle distances in recent weeks, building on success in a minor event here when following up in a 12.5f handicap 9 days ago (kept up to work having idled slightly). Interesting in hat-trick bid now stamina is tested further.
6
2nd (6) Alchemystique (33/1 -106%)
Alchemystique
33
33/1(-106%)
(6) Alchemystique 33/1, Flat/hurdles winner who was let down by her jumping when pulled up in latter sphere at Southwell in May. Probably best watched on return to action.
9
3rd (9) Freewheelin (2.25/1 +18%)
Freewheelin
2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(9) Freewheelin 2.25/1, C&D winner. Good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 5/1) 19 days ago, well positioned. No reason why he won't give another good account operating from last winning mark.

Yakhabar
6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(5) Yakhabar 6.5/1, Cheekpieces on 1st time, found some improvement when third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (10f) 15 days ago, headway under pressure over 1f out and keeping on. Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye upped significantly in trip so worth a second look.

5th (1) Typewritten (5.5/1 +31%)
Typewritten
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(1) Typewritten 5.5/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. First run since leaving Tom Ward when creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at this course (12.4f) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and she's expected to give another good account.
3
6th (3) Vintage Valley (22/1 -22%)
Vintage Valley
22
22/1(-22%)
(3) Vintage Valley 22/1, Fair form at best in trio of novice events at around 12f for Andrew Balding. Off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby for present yard in the autumn but not built on that in 2 outings since. However, bred to stay well so this sort of test looks a plus now handicapping in this sphere.
8
7th (8) Monticello (66/1 -32%)
Monticello
66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Monticello 66/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2016. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Catterick (25.3f, soft) 61 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run.
4
8th (4) Tiger Spirit (14/1 -56%)
Tiger Spirit
14
14/1(-56%)
(4) Tiger Spirit 14/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who doubled career tally at Southwell (16.4f) in January, stayed on to lead last ½f and keeping on well. Below form upped in class back at that venue 3 weeks ago but she may not have reached her limit over staying trips just yet.
2
9th (2) Neverwrongforlong (66/1 -65%)
Neverwrongforlong
66
66/1(-65%)
(2) Neverwrongforlong 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Hooded for 1st time, last of 7 in novice event at Kempton (12f, 100/1) 23 days ago, racing freely and always behind. Still, entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and her dam stayed 1¾m. Betting may prove a useful guide.

(5) Odd Socks Havana 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 15/8, seventh of 10 in minor event at this C&D 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Ought to be in the shake-up.

(1) Win Win Power 0.73/1, Made it 3-4 in 2023 for his current yard when landing 11-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago. Up 3 lb but weighted to go close again.

40/1(-186%)
(6) Pop Favorite 40/1, C&D winner. 25/1, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

2
3rd (2) Vindobala (1.5/1 +8%)
Vindobala
1.5
1.5/1(+8%)
(2) Vindobala 1.5/1, 3-time C&D winner who posted a career best on the back of a wind op when bagging 6-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 8 days ago. Took this event 12 months ago too so she's a big player for her new yard under a 5 lb penalty.
7

Barney's Bay

6/1(+14%)
(7) Barney's Bay 6/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021, however.

8.5/1(-42%)
(3) Hello Queen 8.5/1, Twice-raced winner. 10/3, won 10-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago. This looks tougher under a penalty but she's open to improvement.

Alpha Zulu
0.67
0.67/1(+8%)
(4) Alpha Zulu 0.67/1, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Criollo. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Represents a yard with a healthy strike rate on the AW and he's very much one to note in the betting.
7
3rd (7) Cinque Verde (12/1 -9%)
Cinque Verde
12
12/1(-9%)
(7) Cinque Verde 12/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in minor event (6/4) at Pontefract (5f, good) on debut last summer. Likely capable of a good deal better than she showed that day. Tongue strap applied.

Rogue Thunder
7.5
7.5/1(+6%)
(6) Rogue Thunder 7.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, fourth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and, with the drop to 6f an interesting move, he has to enter calculations.

Yesterday's Hero
3.33
3.33/1(-21%)
(2) Yesterday's Hero 3.33/1, Promising type. Won 10-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 11/2) on debut 48 days ago, keeping on well. The second has won since and this colt is a big player here with improvement anticipated.
9
8th (9) Tamay Girl (50/1 -43%)
Tamay Girl
50
50/1(-43%)
(9) Tamay Girl 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, third of 9 in minor event at this C&D on debut 65 days ago, finishing well. That experience won't be wasted on her but Yesterday's Hero appears to be the stable first-string.

Mighty Power
4
4/1(+27%)
(2) Mighty Power 4/1, Sprung 20/1 surprise over C&D in January. Backed that up when third over C&D 3 weeks later and possibly unsuited by the drop to 5f last time. Treated as if still in form and Oisin Murphy takes the ride.

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.
