1st (3)  (8/1 +0%)Sign Again |
8/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sign Again 8/1, £60,000 buy after Irish point win in April but ran to only a modest level when fourth of 6 in a Bangor bumper last month, albeit he shaped as if the outing was needed. Connections waste no time switching him to hurdles and the longer trip should suit. Improvement required on hurdle debut but should be suited by this longer trip.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (2/5 +45%)Roman Roy |
2/5(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Roman Roy 2/5, Promise in a couple of bumpers last winter and made a satisfactory start over hurdles when third in a 2m course novice 4 weeks ago. Steps up in trip now (dam 2½m hurdle winner) and should have more to offer for his top stable. Disappointing favourite on hurdle debut latest but the step up in trip should suit here.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (33/1 -450%)La Dolce Dolly |
33/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) La Dolce Dolly 33/1, Won sole start in Irish points (May 19). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling. Irish point win doesn't look strong form; market may provide further guidance.. |
|||
4th (1)  (10/3 -21%)Canal Court |
10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Canal Court 10/3, Half-brother to numerous winners, including high-class chaser Chantry House. Runner-up on the third of 3 starts in Irish points. Beaten 16 lengths when switched to hurdles for new yard at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Tongue tie added now. Yard back among the winners this month. Could well build on last month's promising hurdle/stable debut at Kempton; respected.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although a beaten odds-on favourite on his hurdling debut last month, ROMAN ROY can reward his supporters today. The son of Blue Bresil should appreciate a step up in trip on his second start following wind surgery and the yard have hit a real purple patch of late. Canal Court finished a distant second at Kempton recently but, with a tongue-tie applied for the first time, he is the main danger. Sign Again could chase the pair home.
This looks a good chance for ROMAN ROY to build on a solid first run over hurdles here over a shorter trip last month. Canal Court is taken to follow him home.
Ditcheat runner ROMAN ROY looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Canal Court can chase him home.

1st (3)  (2/7 +14%)Matchless |
2/7(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Matchless 2/7, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/3, creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 54 days ago. Back down in trip. Difficult to oppose. Running well in handicaps and the one to beat at the weights dropped into a seller.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (11/2 +8%)Tara Iti |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tara Iti 11/2, Arrives on the back of a solid showing at Huntingdon and has scored over C&D in the past, so no forlorn hope for all that he's not the most reliable. Made a pleasing reappearance at Huntingdon last month but this is tougher.. |
|||
3rd (2)  (125/1 -400%)Eklil |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eklil 125/1, Fair Flat winner for Rae Guest in 2023 but has struggled to get competitive for current yard and showed nothing on his only previous hurdling outing. Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen just under a year ago; hard to make a case for.. |
|||
|F| (1)  (13/2 -30%)Kilcummin |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kilcummin 13/2, Modest hurdler who posted his best effort to date when scoring in a C&D handicap with plenty to spare last month. Likeliest to capitalise if Matchless fluffs his lines. Back to form when a C&D winner last month but he has a stiff task at the weights.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
21lb clear of his nearest rival Kilcummin on official ratings and in receipt of 6lb, this ought to be a fourth hurdles success for the Jennie Candlish-trained MATCHLESS. Second in a 0-120 over 2m4f at Perth in September to solidify his claims further, the drop in trip should also suit. Tara Iti struck the woodwork in a similar event at Huntingdon six days ago and is most appealing of the remainder.
MATCHLESS stands out on form and will have to run poorly not to win this. Kilcummin is the likeliest to take advantage if the selection underperforms and Tara Iti isn't without hope.
This looks an inviting opportunity for MATCHLESS at the weights now dropped into selling company.

1st (1)  (6/5 -32%)Menaggio |
6/5(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Menaggio 6/5, Winner of third start over hurdles and improved when runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton in May. After 6 months off, progressed again when making a successful chasing bow at this C&D (soft) last time, well on top finish. Looks the one to beat. Straight off the mark over fences over C&D last month and 4lb rise looks manageable.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (1/1 +64%)Sea Invasion |
1/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sea Invasion 1/1, Runner-up only start in points in 2022 and steadily progressive over hurdles for Chris Gordon last season, opening account on handicap debut at this C&D in March. Good third at Cheltenham the following month and he's one to note on stable/chase bow. Progressive hurdler who makes chase/stable debut having reportedly schooled well; player.. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/1 +0%)Everyonesgame |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Everyonesgame 9/1, Won 3 times over hurdles for Charlie Longsdon in 2023. However, well held final 2 outings last year and hasn't fared much better for current yard this season, off 4 months prior to latest run 10 days ago. Others more persuasive as he goes chasing. Dual winning hurdler in 2023 but out of form since so has a bit to prove on chase debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MENAGGIO made the perfect start to life over fences when winning a three-runner C&D event last month. It's hard to know what he really achieved there and a 4lb rise will make things tougher, but he ought to progress and is taken to follow up. Sea Invasion makes his seasonal return/chasing bow and looks a likely type, although Everyonesgame, who held the highest rating of these over timber, might be well handicapped from a mark of 121.
MENAGGIO made a promising start over fences when winning at this C&D last month, quickly settling the issue after the last, and he looks to hold leading claims with further improvement to come. Of the chasing debutants in opposition, Sea Invasion went the right way over hurdles last season and could be the main danger, ahead of Inca de Lafayette.
Menaggio isn't passed over lightly but SEA INVASION might have a bit more scope off this mark on chase debut.

1st (1)  (10/3 -48%)Smugglers Haven |
10/3(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Smugglers Haven 10/3, Winner of only start in points and, after making the frame twice in maiden hurdles, showed improved form when successful on handicap debut at Hereford (19.7f, good) last month. May do better still, especially back on a left-handed track. Unexposed mare who got off the mark on her handicap debut at Hereford last month.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (14/1 -40%)Gaia Vallis |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gaia Vallis 14/1, It's been a while since her last victory but she has posted some creditable efforts in defeat, including when fourth of 13 at Taunton (16.5f, good) in January. However, below-par effort next time and has been off 10 months since. Well held on all 5 starts last term; returns from ten-month absence with plenty to prove.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (5/2 +9%)Highway One O Five |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Highway One O Five 5/2, Placed twice over C&D this year, stepping up on reappearance run (in first-time cheekpieces) when third in handicap (good to soft) a fortnight ago. Top amateur booked for the ride and he's a major player from his current mark. Third of seven over C&D two weeks ago but vulnerable to more progressive rivals.. |
|||
4th (2)  (1/1 +43%)Eaton Anne |
1/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eaton Anne 1/1, Successful sole outing in Irish points and has placed all 3 starts over hurdles, off 4 months ahead of finishing runner-up in handicap at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) in October. Respected with this further step up in trip promising to suit. Encouraging second on handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f) last month; strong claims.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although still a maiden under Rules, Eaton Anne has done little wrong in his three placed efforts over hurdles to date. Olly Murphy's gelding is only 2lb higher than his second-placed handicap bow at Stratford and another prominent role is forecast. However, SMUGGLERS HAVEN accounted for a subsequent winner when opening his account at Hereford last month and the five-year-old may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. Highway One O Five can chase the duo home.
With cheekpieces added, HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE showed the benefit of his reappearance when third at this C&D 2 weeks ago and he could be ready to open his account for last year's winning trainer of the race. Eaton Anne isn't taken lightly upped further in trip, while Smugglers Haven could also still have more to offer.
This looks a good opportunity for EATON ANNE (nap) to get off the mark over hurdles. He has most to fear from Smugglers Haven.

1st (1)  (13/8 +28%)Vocito |
13/8(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Vocito 13/8, Gained a third 2m maiden/novice win of the season when scoring by 6 lengths at Stratford last month. Failed to meet expectations at Newton Abbot 3 weeks later but back over fences for this first time for this yard, he's open to significant improvement given his recent hurdles exploits. Has shown improved form over hurdles for these connections; interesting back over fences. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/4 +44%)Koenigsstern |
5/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Koenigsstern 5/4, Dual winning pointer who showed promise when reaching the frame over hurdles last winter. Produced a promising first effort in this sphere after 8 months off when runner-up at Fontwell (17.8f, soft) last month and there's every chance he can go one better. Dual point winner in 2023; good second on his chase debut at Fontwell last month.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 -155%)Nevendon |
7/2(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Nevendon 7/2, A fair 2m hurdle winner and getting the hang of things over fences now, causing a 16/1 shock when getting off the mark at Southwell last month. Runner-up on both subsequent starts (on the Flat first occasion) and he remains firmly of interest. Got off the mark over fences at Southwell last month and was runner-up at Fakenham since.. |
|||
4th (4)  (25/1 -14%)Clondaw Robin |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Clondaw Robin 25/1, Still winless over fences and shaped as if the run was probably needed after 7 months off at this course (19.8f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Usual headgear reapplied but unlikely to troubling his rivals from well out of the weights. 0-26 over fences and is 15lb out of the weights; has little chance here.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having tallied three victories over hurdles since racing under the tutelage of Olly Murphy in May, VOCITO could make the most of a lower mark over fences. The six-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes and he is narrowly preferred to fellow in-form rival Nevendon. The Nathaniel gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Fakenham and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent him from going close once more. Koenigsstern is unexposed in this sphere and he cannot be ruled out either.
It's hard to split the top 3 but the vote goes to VOCITO, who had shown only fair form at best over fences for previous connections but is open to significant improvement given the level of form he's since shown back over hurdles. Koenigsstern produced a promising first effort in this sphere on return at Fonwell recently, so he's marginally preferred to Nevendon for the forecast spot.
Preference is for the consistent NEVENDON who got off the mark over fences at Southwell last month. Koenigsstern is next best.

1st (1)  (5/6 -25%)Magical Arthur |
5/6(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Magical Arthur 5/6, Continues to progress, making in 2 wins in his last 3 starts at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft) last week, despite a ragged display of jumping in different headgear. Conditional negates a 7 lb penalty so has to have major claims of going in again. Won at Hexham last month and Kempton last Monday; should be hard to beat.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/1 +45%)Chancellorstown |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chancellorstown 6/1, No impact first 3 runs over hurdles (contested good races at Newbury twice). Placed twice in points but failed to take to chasing at Huntingdon in March and possibly failed to get home returning from 7 months off back over timber at Fontwell recently. First-time headgear applied. Jumped left throughout back over hurdles when fourth at Fontwell last month.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (15/8 +17%)Bella Cavalla |
15/8(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bella Cavalla 15/8, Temperamental sort who has made the frame on 4 of her last 5 starts in handicap hurdles, most recently finding just one too good at this C&D (soft) 4 weeks ago. Obvious claims with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate for a red-hot yard. 0-9 over hurdles but finished runner-up at Fontwell in September and over C&D last month.. |
|||
4th (3)  (12/1 -9%)Flemen's Tipple |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Flemen's Tipple 12/1, Runner-up a few times over hurdles and finally got his head in front over the larger obstacles in decisive fashion at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to firm) in May. Possibly amiss given the way he wilted at Warwick (24f, good to soft) 3 weeks later and makes his return back over timber. 0-10 over hurdles but got off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in May.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The fitting of a first-time visor enabled a career-best victory from MAGICAL ARTHUR when coming home 11 lengths clear of his nearest pursuer at Kempton recently. A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop the Jennie Candlish-trained six-year-old from going in again and he's taken to continue his upward trajectory. Bella Cavalla has filled the runner-up berth on her last two outings and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Chancellorstown.
Another small field to close the card and MAGICAL ARTHUR is selected to make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts. His conditional negates a 7 lb penalty he picked up at Kempton last week, so he's fancied to continue his progress at the expense of Bella Cavalla, who found just one too strong over C&D 4 weeks ago and may have to settle for silver again with Harry Cobden an eye-catching jockey booking.
The progressive MAGICAL ARTHUR is in fine fettle and can defy a welter burden. The big danger is Bella Cavalla.

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.
