---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (5/1 -11%) San Pedro |
5/1(-11%) | (4) San Pedro 5/1, Won at Lingfield and Fontwell for Paul Henderson in the first half of 2023. Good third for his new yard over C&D in November but he beat only one at Kempton on the Flat since. No surprise to see him bounce back. Acts on soft; staying hurdle wins on good to soft and good; not yet at best for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +21%) Hasty Parisian |
11/4(+21%) | (3) Hasty Parisian 11/4, Consistent sort who came in third of 7 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago. It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2022, however. Weighted to go well on pick of his 2023 form at 3m but below best since October fall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -83%) Good News |
11/1(-83%) | (1) Good News 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 14/1) 21 days ago so this veteran is in the mix. Three C&D wins; has won on soft; Stratford 2nd in October much best run in the last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (8/11 +9%) Hill Of Tara |
8/11(+9%) | (2) Hill Of Tara 8/11, Much improved sent handicapping this season, easily making it 4 wins from 5 starts in 11-runner event at Hereford (25.5f) 39 days ago. Hiked up 15 lb but still the one to beat. Helped by switch to testing surfaces and handicaps, winning 4-5; up 15lb for latest win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (150/1 -200%) Rosserk Abbey |
150/1(-200%) | (5) Rosserk Abbey 150/1, Sole win back in 2019 and off 25 months before coming in last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Very hard to warm to. Sole win in 2019; all to prove on the evidence of last two runs, in 2022 and last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HILL OF TARA can do little wrong at present and a 15lb rise for wins at Haydock and Hereford may not be enough to prevent him completing the hat-trick. The seven-year-old seems to relish the mud and he should have too much for Hasty Parisian, who has become well handicapped but shown only mild promise for new connections. Similar comments apply to San Pedro, who would probably prefer faster ground.
HILL OF TARA remains on a workable mark despite taking a 15 lb hit for his easy Hereford success and can bag a fifth victory of the term. Three-time C&D winner Good News appeals as the one to chase home Venetia Williams' improver ahead of San Pedro.
Although 15lb higher than for his most recent win HILL OF TARA still looks the one to beat under conditions that suit.

1st (3) (15/8 +46%) Alto Alto |
15/8(+46%) | (3) Alto Alto 15/8, Left previous chasing efforts behind when winning 17f handicap at Plumpton in April. Well held next 3 starts but sparked back to life by first-time cheekpieces and a tongue strap when capitalising on a falling mark returned to hurdling here 5 weeks ago. Big player with a repeat back chasing. C&D winner last April; chase career went to pot after and recent win came over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/4 -17%) Prince Quali |
7/4(-17%) | (2) Prince Quali 7/4, Fair chaser in France, winning amateur riders minor event at Auteuil in 2021/22. Missed last season and left David Cottin for €10,000. Left yard debut well behind when second at Wincanton 5 weeks ago and entitled to come on again. Four French wins over hurdles/fences; went close in 1m7f chase on second British run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/5 -70%) Aviles |
16/5(-70%) | (4) Aviles 16/5, Fair ex-French hurdler who found just one too good all 4 starts in juvenile/maiden hurdles last term. Again runner-up when going agonisingly close on return/chase debut at Fontwell (19.5f, soft), a race he probably would've won but for a bad mistake 2 out. Heavy ground an excuse since. Headgear on. Lightly raced; claims on close 2nd at Fontwell; pulled up next time; had wind op since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (13/2 +0%) Give Me A Moment |
13/2(+0%) | (1) Give Me A Moment 13/2, Useful chaser at best but signs of decline this season, well held at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Had a terrific 2022 over fences and hurdles; mostly quieter since; soft ground no help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Things may not have gone to plan for AVILES when pulled up as a short-priced favourite over further at Fontwell, but he had been ultra consistent prior to that and is better judged on a narrow defeat at the same track in November. Gary Moore's charge has undergone wind surgery since his latest run and that may be enough to see off the likes of three-time course winner Alto Alto and Prince Quali, who seems to be improving since arriving on these shores from France.
ALTO ALTO responded well to headgear/a tongue strap when scoring over hurdles here 5 weeks ago and can follow up back in this sphere. Prince Quali was all the better for his yard debut/belated return when runner-up at Wincanton and is next best.
Alto Alto returned to form over hurdles last time but PRINCE QUALI (nap) went close in his first British chase and can do better yet

1st (7) (9/2 +36%) Lario |
9/2(+36%) | (7) Lario 9/2, Fair 11f winner on Flat in Germany in 2022. Off 17 months, hampered and unseated first on his hurdling bow for new yard at Sedgefield in December. Remains with potential. Won over 1m3f in Germany; back from absence when unseating first on December hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/4 -298%) Hms President |
7/4(-298%) | (3) Hms President 7/4, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 14.5f) and successful at Newmarket in 2023. Yard took this 12 months ago and he's a good-quality recruit to hurdling. Interesting. Smart on Flat, won valuable 1m6f Newmarket handicap last May; stands out on ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/4 +39%) Koenigsstern |
11/4(+39%) | (6) Koenigsstern 11/4, Dual winning pointer who has made a promising start over hurdles, headed only late when third of 8 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Warwick (16f, soft) 30 days ago. Player back in maiden company. Won 4 on Flat in Germany and both completed points; solid 3rd in 2m handicap hurdle latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/3 +58%) Onewayortother |
10/3(+58%) | (8) Onewayortother 10/3, Fairly useful bumper winner but he hasn't gone on since a promising debut hurdling third at Newton Abbot. Something to prove with cheekpieces added. Bumper winner; very mixed over hurdles; lesser efforts since good Newbury 3rd in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (28/1 -40%) Seaside Legend |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Seaside Legend 28/1, Fair in bumpers for Paul Nicholls but offered little for his new handler on his hurdling bow in 2m2f Fontwell novice 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Not go on from encouraging 2nd on bumper debut; well back on hurdle debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 +78%) Inigo |
11/1(+78%) | (4) Inigo 11/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers, winning in France. Off 20 months before never-dangerous seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago. Can build on it now. Won French AW bumper in late 2021; lightly raced since; better for recent hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (25/1 -150%) Military Tycoon |
25/1(-150%) | (11) Military Tycoon 25/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Hugo Palmer who bagged handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, heavy) in October. Only ninth after 3 months off in Wincanton maiden hurdle for his new handler but should take a step forward now. Respected on best Flat form, won at 1m6f on soft in October, but well held on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (66/1 +34%) Je Suis Sacre |
66/1(+34%) | (5) Je Suis Sacre 66/1, Has a good pedigree but looked one for later on when well held in novice hurdles over C&D and at Huntingdon. Big prices and not yet made any impression in novice company over C&D and at Huntingdon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (250/1 -150%) Celtic Orla |
250/1(-150%) | (12) Celtic Orla 250/1, Buratino filly. Dam 7f-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. A watching brief is the percentage call on her hurdling debut. Out of 7f-1m2f AW winner; unlikely type on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (10) (200/1 -33%) On The Nose |
200/1(-33%) | (10) On The Nose 200/1, Poor handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) and has rejoined his former yard having left Mark Hoad. Goes hurdling with more required. Flat winner at 1m2f in 2022; out of sorts last year; lots to prove now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (250/1 -67%) Freddy Boy |
250/1(-67%) | (2) Freddy Boy 250/1, Tailed off in sole bumper and no show all three outings over hurdles, off 12 months before beating only one at Uttoxeter (hood on) last time. Modest form so far, in a bumper and when completing just once in three hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (250/1 -67%) Dancing Master |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Dancing Master 250/1, Poor handicapper on Flat in Jersey nowadays for Christa Cuthbert. Pulled up on yard/hurdles debut 3 weeks ago and hard to warm to. AW winner in 2021; pulled up on recent hurdle debut at Newbury; best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot last June and last seen running in the Ebor, HMS PRESIDENT looks a shrewd recruit to this sphere. Trainer Alan King has done well with these types in the past and the seven-year-old may be able to take this en route to bigger targets, with recent Warwick third Koenigsstern looking best placed to chase him home. The booking of Harry Cobden aboard Lario catches the eye and he could also land a blow.
KOENIGSSTERN has started off well over hurdles and this dual points scorer is fancied to build on his excellent Warwick third and get off the mark in this sphere. Alan King's hurdling newcomer HMS President brings plenty of potential judged on his useful-winning Flat form and rates a big danger though. Military Tycoon appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
This race is all about smart Flat handicapper HMS PRESIDENT who ought to be a laydown now he goes hurdling.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (6/5 +47%) Kotmask |
6/5(+47%) | (1) Kotmask 6/5, Fair hurdler who has improved for switch to chasing, building on his reappearance effort when running out a comfortable winner here (17f) in November. Resumed winning ways at Sandown 17 days ago and this looks another good opportunity. Progressive at 2m4f and 1m7f; up 7lb for recent Sandown win but has further to go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 -57%) Scarface |
11/4(-57%) | (2) Scarface 11/4, Recorded a brace of small-field novice hurdle victories last season. Better with each start over fences, crucially jumping better (in first-time cheekpieces) when opening his account over C&D 5 weeks ago. Can go well again. Improving chaser; cosy C&D winner latest; up 5lb; has handicapping scope on hurdle form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) Ballybeen |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Ballybeen 7/2, Placed all 7 starts in this sphere, including when good second at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) last time. Should be in the mix again. Maiden; met improving chasers on last 2 starts and could be a similar story today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 -100%) Chanceux |
6/1(-100%) | (3) Chanceux 6/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 4-runner handicap chase at Hereford. Followed up by a narrow margin at Doncaster but further 4 lb rise leaves him vulnerable. Has 2m3f form on heavy; two recent wins at 2m but might need further now; can have a say. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Three of the four contenders in this contest are last-time-out winners and the one preferred most is KOTMASK. Gary Moore's gelding cleared away by eight lengths in this grade at Sandown last time and he now takes a step back up in distance, which he should have no issues with. Chanceux secured a double when going in by a neck over an extended 2m at Doncaster in December and he isn't out of it off a 4lb higher rating. Of the remainder, Ballybeen makes more appeal than Scarface after two consecutive seconds recently.
The progressive KOTMASK posted a good timefigure when scoring at Sandown last time and he can strike again. Scarface jumped better fitted in this headgear when winning over C&D 5 weeks ago is next best.
All four runners have something going for them but KOTMASK shouldn't have a problem with the return to further after a clear 1m7f win.

1st (6) (7/1 -75%) Colours On Canvas |
7/1(-75%) | (6) Colours On Canvas 7/1, Built on his debut promise in Ireland when making a successful start for this yard in 2m Lingfield novice hurdle in November and found only an odds-on favourite with fairly useful form too good tried in cheekpieces in 2m novice here recently. Bit more to do up in trip. Two good runs in 2m novices; now has to prove stamina in first run beyond that trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/2 +59%) Sambezi |
13/2(+59%) | (4) Sambezi 13/2, Resumed winning ways with a dominant display in a Worcester handicap hurdle over this trip in May. Probably better for his 2 runs back this winter but suspect he's still high enough in the weights. Progressive last spring; not yet recaptured form after layoff; could fare better today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (14/1 -40%) Legionar |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Legionar 14/1, Bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles in a Sedgefield novice (19.8f) back in 2022. However, evidently not been the easiest to train and shaped as if needing the run back from 15 months off at Wincanton in December. Back up in trip and this should reveal more. Impressed on 2nd hurdle start but off for 17 months after; fair return; down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (17/2 -240%) Homme D'un Soir |
17/2(-240%) | (5) Homme D'un Soir 17/2, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Stuart Crawford in his prime and better signs back over hurdles for current yard this term, following home classy sort at Market Rasen last month. Good shout under Tom Cannon. Quite useful at 2m4f in Ireland; not at the same level for new yard but still running well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (2/1 +43%) Birdman Bob |
2/1(+43%) | (7) Birdman Bob 2/1, Scored in 2m novice handicap here on return and produced his best effort to date when second over C&D 3 weeks ago. This is tougher but he has a fine course record and can't be ruled out. Sole win over 2m but good 2nd over C&D on soft latest; up in grade; still solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (1) (11/4 +45%) Kaleb |
11/4(+45%) | (1) Kaleb 11/4, Held in stronger races the last twice but had run well in 2m handicaps here and at Sandown before that and this trip should suit him. Worth a look with good 5 lb conditional up and blinkers tried. Maiden; had some very tough assignments in handicaps and more at home at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/1 -100%) Red Windsor |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Red Windsor 11/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles. Some promise over fences this term although easy to back and jumped poorly over similar trip here last time. Suddenly back on a tempting mark in this sphere. Interesting. Won 2m3f novice hurdle; in choppy waters over fences of late and now back hurdling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BIRDMAN BOB has filled the runner-up berth the last twice, including over track and trip on his latest outing, and he wouldn't need to improve much to go one better on this occasion. Homme D'Un Soir was beaten eight lengths into second in this grade at Market Rasen last month and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower rating, while Kaleb could show more in first-time blinkers.
RED WINDSOR reverts to hurdling off a tempting mark and could be worth chancing. Homme d'Un Soir is feared most ahead of Birdman Bob.
Slight preference is for BIRDMAN BOB who has a solid record in handicaps here and ran well over C&D last time out.

1st (5) (9/4 +18%) Majestic Jameela |
9/4(+18%) | (5) Majestic Jameela 9/4, Handled conditions well and didn't need to improve when off the mark in juvenile maiden hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy, 2/5f) in November. Struggled in stronger company on 2 of her 3 starts since but this switch to handicaps rates a plus now. Can go well. Won modest fillies' maiden in November (1m7f, heavy); possibilities now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 +19%) Callin Baton Rouge |
13/2(+19%) | (6) Callin Baton Rouge 13/2, Better after a breathing operation when not beaten far at Fontwell on Boxing Day but well beaten again at Sedgefield next time. Cheekpieces go back on. Possibilities on close 4th over 2m3f on Boxing Day; blunder ended chance next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 +25%) Criquette |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Criquette 12/1, Irish point winner but yet to better modest form in bumpers/over hurdles, going off too hard in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton 5 weeks ago. Has slipped further in the weights and visor tried now. Won Irish point but handicap form over hurdles and fences has amounted to little so far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/1 -25%) Eliza Dolittle |
10/1(-25%) | (8) Eliza Dolittle 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted her best effort when third of 8 in C&D novice hurdle on her reappearance in October. Not so good twice since at Fakenham and work to do here. Promising final qualifying run over C&D; lesser runs in handicaps since, on soft last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +45%) Bombay Sapphire |
10/3(+45%) | (1) Bombay Sapphire 10/3, Fair bumper winner in Ireland but patchy profile over hurdles for current yard, shaping as if amiss again at Hereford 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on and bit to prove. Irish bumper winner in 2022; not gone on in handicap hurdles but now back at 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/2 +0%) Gearing's Point |
7/2(+0%) | (3) Gearing's Point 7/2, In good form on the Flat last year, winning 4 handicaps around 1½m. Has shown an aptitude for hurdling, rallying gradually over C&D a fortnight ago. Could do better now handicapping in this sphere and worth considering. Won 3 at 1m4f on Flat last year; taken well to hurdles; first run on soft; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 -140%) Lady Berlais |
12/1(-140%) | (2) Lady Berlais 12/1, Got off the mark in 2m Fakenham handicap hurdle in December, making all, but folded tamely at Sedgefield next time. Possibilities on her 2m Fakenham win in December but never travelled when remote since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This is a tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote goes to LADY BERLAIS, who struck by eight lengths two starts ago at Fakenham. Dan Skelton's mare disappointed at Sedgefield next time but she could easily bounce back to form and make it two from her last three. Top-weight Bombay Sapphire goes in first-time cheekpieces and takes a drop in trip, so she rates an interesting contender, while Majestic Jameela will find this easier than the Listed contest she was well held in at Doncaster and completes the shortlist.
MAJESTIC JAMEELA has her sights lowered for her handicap debut and the 4-y-o could be the way to go. Gearing's Point and returning 2022-winner Eventful are a couple of the other likely players.
If coping with her first run on soft ground, GEARING'S POINT should be a major player on her handicap debut.

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.
