1st (3) Castle Carrock (9/2 -50%)
Castle Carrock

4.5
9/2(-50%)
(3) Castle Carrock 9/2, Stood out on paper and looked a good prospect in justifying short odds on debut in 6-runner bumper at Ayr (16f, good to soft) in November. Has since left Nicky Richards and he looks a likely type now hurdling for a powerful yard.
Bought for £100,000 after easily winning a weak Ayr bumper for Nicky Richards.
4
2nd (4) Diva Luna (2/9 +67%)
Diva Luna

0.222222
2/9(+67%)
(4) Diva Luna 2/9, Runner-up on only outing in points and she was 2-2 in bumpers, including a hot renewal of the Nickel Coin at Aintree. Improved from her hurdling debut to get off the mark in convincing fashion in 9-runner novice at Cheltenham (20.2f, soft) recently and should prove tough to beat with more to come.
Smart in bumpers and going the right way over hurdles after winning at Cheltenham.
1
3rd (1) Kap Vert (6/1 -33%)
Kap Vert

6
6/1(-33%)
(1) Kap Vert 6/1, Runner-up in a point and promising start over hurdles in recent months, opening his account second time up in an Exeter novice last month. Probably matched that level of form when third back there (16.7f, heavy) on New Year's Day and fancied to be in the shake up despite carrying a penalty.
Solid each-way chance but could have his work cut out in conceding 7lb to Diva Luna.
9
4th (9) Rip Wheeler (50/1 +50%)
Rip Wheeler

50
50/1(+50%)
(9) Rip Wheeler 50/1, Picked up for £31,000 after winning one of his 3 point starts but looks more one for handicaps on early evidence under Rules.
Dead-headed in a point; has made no impact in two maiden hurdles.
5
5th (5) I'm Your Buckaroo (50/1 0%)
I'm Your Buckaroo

50
50/1(0%)
(5) I'm Your Buckaroo 50/1, Buck's Boum gelding who offered little on debut when pulled up in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Best watched for now.
33-1 when pulled up in a Cheltenham maiden on New Year's Day won by Diva Luna.
6
6th (6) King Of Highways (66/1 -230%)
King Of Highways

66
66/1(-230%)
(6) King Of Highways 66/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers and on hurdles debut but did show much more when fourth in novice company at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Looks one for handicaps after this qualifying run.
Fourth last time but that form is no great advertisement for his prospects here.
2
7th (2) C'est Different (33/1 -32%)
C'est Different

33
33/1(-32%)
(2) C'est Different 33/1, Well held in a bumper and similar story on both starts over hurdles, though seemed to show a bit more than previously at Chepstow (16f, heavy) earlier this month. Looks one for handicaps after this.
Has posted some ordinary RPRs in his three defeats and vulnerable in a Sandown novice.
8
8th (8) Pearl's Pirate (66/1 -32%)
Pearl's Pirate

66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Pearl's Pirate 66/1, Has been brought along steadily, a patiently-ridden sixth of 9 in novice at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) on his hurdles bow just over 4 weeks ago. Can do better in due course.
Beaten 17l in a bumper and a lot further than that on his hurdling debut.
10
|F| (10) Ballyhealy Diamond (300/1 -50%)
Ballyhealy Diamond

300
300/1(-50%)
(10) Ballyhealy Diamond 300/1, Has shown little in a pair of bumpers 9 months apart. Lots more required on her first go in this sphere.
1,000euros 3yo who was beaten in a distance in his two bumpers, latterly at 200-1.
7
|U| (7) Noble Park (33/1 +34%)
Noble Park

33
33/1(+34%)
(7) Noble Park 33/1, Well held in Sandown bumper and both starts over hurdles, looking rather nervy beforehand at Newbury last month. He's got plenty to prove already but given his connections and pedigree, it's too soon to be writing him off.
In a top yard but positives thin on the ground after his first three runs.

13:15 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Castle Carrock may not have beaten too much in an Ayr bumper on debut but he shaped with plenty of promise in that facile success and warrants the utmost respect now tried over obstacles, but preference is for the hurdling experience of DIVA LUNA. Winner of a Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree last season, Ben Pauling's charge opened her account over timber at the second attempt when dominating from the front over Cheltenham's extended 2m4f (I'm Your Buckaroo pulled up) and, on that evidence, the drop back in trip should be no issue. Exeter scorer Kap Vert looks best of the rest, but he must concede weight all round.

DIVA LUNA got off the mark in convincing fashion at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and, with further progress on the cards, Ben Pauling's mare is selected to double her tally in this sphere at the expense of Castle Carrock, who looked a good prospect in justifying short odds in a bumper at Ayr in November and has switched yards ahead of his hurdling debut. The penalised Kap Vert looks best of the remainder.

The mare DIVA LUNA, a Grade 2 bumper winner with Cheltenham honours already over hurdles, is living up to her lofty reputation.

1st (4) Casa Loupi (9/1 +55%)
Casa Loupi

9
9/1(+55%)
(4) Casa Loupi 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but little promise this season.
Looked useful as a novice but some lengthy breaks have stalled his progress.
7
2nd (7) Kentford Mallard (22/1 +45%)
Kentford Mallard

22
22/1(+45%)
(7) Kentford Mallard 22/1, Veteran who was sent off 33/1 when stumbling and unseating his rider eight in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 36 days ago. 6 lb out of the weights with cheekpieces back on.
Exposed veteran who is 6lb out of the weights and she stays a lot further than this.
3
3rd (3) Kourosh (16/1 -14%)
Kourosh

16
16/1(-14%)
(3) Kourosh 16/1, Fair winner on the Flat in Germany who bolted up on his Wetherby hurdle debut last November. No real progress thereafter and offered little on first run since leaving Dan Skelton when pulled up at Doncaster last month.
Led early but ultimately pulled up on stable debut in a Doncaster handicap.
6
4th (6) Hidor De Bersy (5/2 +55%)
Hidor De Bersy

2.5
5/2(+55%)
(6) Hidor De Bersy 5/2, Ended his time with Tom Symonds on a low note but has fallen appreciably in the weights and has a good record when fresh. Interesting in a first-time tongue strap on first outing for Mel Rowley.
First run for Mel Rowley and this 8yo returns to rules on a potentially good mark.
2
5th (2) Don't Wind Me Up (11/8 +21%)
Don't Wind Me Up

1.375
11/8(+21%)
(2) Don't Wind Me Up 11/8, Steady improvement when finishing third all 3 starts over hurdles and may do better again on this switch to handicaps. Big chance.
Placed in all his maidens and brings plenty of potential into handicaps off this mark.
1
6th (1) Give Me A Boom (4/1 -33%)
Give Me A Boom

4/1(-33%)
(1) Give Me A Boom 4/1, Showed improved form back hurdling when winning 14-runner maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 35 days ago, driven out. Should remain competitive back in handicap company.
The form of his recent maiden win has some substance to it; respected despite 8lb rise.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

13:50 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having been beaten just under three lengths by a 120-rated winner in an Exeter maiden last month, DON'T WIND ME UP looks potentially well treated off a mark of 112 and he is fancied to make a bold bid on his handicap bow for an in-form stable. Give Me A Boom relished the return to hurdles when landing a maiden at Uttoxeter and there could be more to come from the top-weight following that confidence booster. Moab showed improved form to make the frame at Wincanton and a subsequent 1lb drop in the ratings brings him into the equation.

DON'T WIND ME UP has shaped encouragingly with each run over hurdles and is taken to find the improvement required to defy his opening mark. Moab took a step forward when third on his handicap debut in this sphere at Exeter the previous month and may do better still, with Hidor de Bersy interesting on his return for a new yard having fallen appreciably in the weights and gone well fresh before.

Representing the same stable/jockey combination that won this 12 months ago, DON'T WIND ME UP is interesting on his handicap debut.

1st (3) Vincenzo (7/2 -17%)
Vincenzo

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(3) Vincenzo 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who took well to this discipline when winning 5-runner novices' handicap chase at Windsor (16.2f, good to soft) last month. No match for the potentially smart Kalif du Berlais in a 3-runner affair at Cheltenham since, but no disgrace in that and he should have a part to play.
Windsor winner who chased home a class act at Cheltenham; should hold every chance.
4
2nd (4) Doyen Du Bar (10/1 -150%)
Doyen Du Bar

10
10/1(-150%)
(4) Doyen Du Bar 10/1, Got the better of next-time-out winner The Kalooki Kid when taking 5-runner handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft) on return in November. Followed up from the front at Aintree during the Christmas period and further 3 lb nudge fair enough, but likely to face competition for the lead this time.
Raised 6lb for two wins in small fields but likely to remain competitive.
5
3rd (5) Hypotenus (50/1 -52%)
Hypotenus

50
50/1(-52%)
(5) Hypotenus 50/1, Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles but didn't really click over fences for Gavin Cromwell. Lots to prove starting out for new yard.
Flat/hurdle winner; left Gavin Cromwell for 5,500gns after two heavy defeats over fences.
2
4th (2) Helnwein (5/6 +49%)
Helnwein

0.833333
5/6(+49%)
(2) Helnwein 5/6, Won twice over hurdles last term, including on handicap bow here on final start of that campaign. Failed to build on promising chase debut second when fourth in the 5-runner Windsor handicap won by Vincenzo, but that race wasn't run to suit and is now 7 lb better off with that rival. Major player.
Last race wasn't run to suit and he's 4lb better off with the winner Vincenzo.
1
5th (1) Inedit Star (10/1 -82%)
Inedit Star

10
10/1(-82%)
(1) Inedit Star 10/1, Dual bumper/hurdles winner in France and, judged on what he's shown in 4 starts over fences, he should pick up a race in this sphere before long. Just over a length adrift of a race-fit Doyen du Bar on return at Aintree (15.8f, soft) on Boxing Day and now 3 lb better off with that rival. Claims.
Mark hasn't budged an inch but he's performed well in all his five races in Britain.
6
6th (6) All Authorized (11/2 +61%)
All Authorized

5.5
11/2(+61%)
(6) All Authorized 11/2, Bumper winner on debut at Fontwell back in April 2023 and landed the odds in a 19.2f maiden hurdle there when last seen 11 months ago (has undergone a wind op in the interim). 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights for this chase debut and will need to raise his game in order to emerge on top.
Had a wind operation during absence; consistent gelding with a fighting chance.
7
|PU| (7) Universal Secret (100/1 +50%)
Universal Secret

100
100/1(+50%)
(7) Universal Secret 100/1, Modest winning hurdler who posted by far his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up in a 15.7f Wincanton handicap last month. However, he's a long, long way out of the weights upped in class here.
Good effort in defeat last time but he's 28lb out of the handicap in this higher grade.

14:25 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

DOYEN DU BAR has returned from his summer break with a brace of chase victories, including when making all at Aintree on Boxing Day, and a further 3lb rise may not be enough to thwart his hat-trick bid. That said, Inedit Star was only a length and a quarter behind him on Merseyside and, with that pipe-opener under his belt, Nick Kent's charge looks a big threat at the revised weights. Although soundly beaten, Vincenzo chased home the talented Kalif Du Berlais off this mark at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and there doesn't appear to be anything of that calibre in opposition here.

Things didn't pan out favourably for HELNWEIN when only fourth behind Vincenzo at Windsor, but this promises to be a more strongly-run race and Alan King's charge is given another chance to build on the abundant promise he showed when chasing home the progressive Telepathique on debut in this sphere at Warwick. Vincenzo did little wrong at Cheltenham since and should give another good account, while Inedit Star may well reverse Aintree placings with Doyen du Bar and also make his presence felt.

Alan King's HELNWEIN (nap) didn't have the race run to suit when behind Vincenzo at Windsor but it may be a different scenario now.

1st (5) Fil D'ariane (16/1 +36%)
Fil D'ariane

16
16/1(+36%)
(5) Fil D'ariane 16/1, Fair performer for Tom Symonds who was in process of running very well when falling 2 out in Royal Artillery Gold Cup over C&D last February. Well held all three starts since, however, so has something to prove.
Third in this last year at 80-1 but was pulled up in a Taunton hunter chase 16 days ago.

Farceur Du Large

0.727273
8/11(+52%)
(1) Farceur Du Large 8/11, Looked rusty after 7 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap chase (28/1) at Newbury (22.4f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Took this 12 months ago though so no surprise to see him bounce back now.
Poor after a break at Newbury but he was a clearcut winner of this 12 months ago.
3
3rd (3) Black Gerry (4/1 +20%)
Black Gerry

4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Black Gerry 4/1, Won all 4 of his starts (at up to 19.8f) when completing during 2022/23. Found things tougher last term and only sixth of 7 at Ascot on return. May come on for that with blinkers refitted.
Returning blinkers might not be a bad thing but he's become a hard horse to predict.
2
4th (2) Hold That Taught (7/1 -155%)
Hold That Taught

7
7/1(-155%)
(2) Hold That Taught 7/1, Low-mileage 10=y-o who looked in need of the run atter 11 months off when only sixth of 9 in handicap chase (18/1) at Newbury (26f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not ruled out with that run under his belt.
Poor in two runs some 342 days apart but did win two handicaps in late 2023.
4
5th (4) D'jango (9/2 -13%)
D'jango

4.5
9/2(-13%)
(4) D'jango 9/2, Appeared to be very much on the decline prior to turning it round in hunters, scoring at Warwick a year ago. Good run of form came to an end when last seen in May but type to bounce back.
Last year's highs offer hope but he has been absent since May when off colour.
6
6th (6) Steady The Ship (16/1 +68%)
Steady The Ship

16
16/1(+68%)
(6) Steady The Ship 16/1, A fair handicap chaser who won at Southwell in early-2022/23. Sold from Jonjo O'Neill for £3,000 subsequently and pulled up on his yard debut at Chepstow in April. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.
Has managed to win only one of his eight points and these terms are tough.

15:00 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A comfortable winner of this contest last year before landing a similar race the following month over C&D, FARCEUR DU LARGE didn't show much on his return at Newbury in November but should be primed for the defence of his crown. A progressive sort early last season but well beaten on his comeback at Newbury last month, Hold That Taught must enter calculations, along with Black Gerry, who is entitled to another go at this distance.

FARCEUR DU LARGE should be all the better for a seasonal pipe-opener at Newbury and is fancied to repeat his success in this event last season. Hold That Taught has won off a break and could prove the main danger to Jamie Snowden's veteran, although D'Jango and Black Gerry could also have a say if on their A-games.

With all of these having questions to answer right now, perhaps the safest option is last year's clearcut winner FARCEUR DU LARGE.

1st (8) Loverdose (2/1 +43%)
Loverdose

2
2/1(+43%)
(8) Loverdose 2/1, French Flat winner who is improving over hurdles, now 3 from 4 in handicaps and a bit unlucky the other time. Career-best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Windsor (20f, good to soft) 40 days ago and while this represents a step-up in grade, it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet.
All good since sent handicapping in cheekpieces, posting figures of 1121.
2
2nd (2) Il Va De Soi (5/1 +0%)
Il Va De Soi

5
5/1(+0%)
(2) Il Va De Soi 5/1, Ended last campaign on a high, scoring at Chepstow (19.5f) and Uttoxeter (20f) in spring and returned with creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Looks an out and out galloper and should enjoy this stiff test today. Merits consideration.
Can build on his Cheltenham run, especially with his clear penchant for ease underfoot.
1
3rd (1) Spirit D'aunou (6/1 +25%)
Spirit D'aunou

6
6/1(+25%)
(1) Spirit D'aunou 6/1, Posted personal best when successful at this track (16f) in December 2023. Without a win since but, in first-time cheekpieces, fared better than previously this season when fourth of 11 at Newbury (20.5f, good to soft) last time and it will be disappointing if he can't build on that effort.
Latest run encouraging; back on last winning mark and more rain the better.
4
4th (4) High Game Royal (10/1 -54%)
High Game Royal

10
10/1(-54%)
(4) High Game Royal 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler who shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 42 days ago, not finding as much had looked likely at one stage. The way he travelled on that occasion suggests drop back in trip could help. Respected for in-form yard.
Still on a realistic mark and won't mind coming back in distance on this stiff track.
3
|B| (3) Dominic's Fault (3/1 0%)
Dominic's Fault

3
3/1(0%)
(3) Dominic's Fault 3/1, Well-bred, rangy sort who overcame a lengthy absence to land a 6-runner Leicester novice in January and has progressed further since, scoring with something to spare in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Has the scope to keep improving now back up in trip and looks a leading player.
Up 9lb but he's a lightly raced 8yo with clear potential to step up again.
5
|F| (5) Yellow Star (9/1 +10%)
Yellow Star

9
9/1(+10%)
(5) Yellow Star 9/1, Ran his best race of the season last-time when fitted with cheekpieces, rallying from 2 out to finish fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (21.6f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Blinkers back on today and entitled to remain competitive, although he may find a couple too good in here.
Novice win reads well; has shown he can be competitive in handicaps.
6
|PU| (6) Pearly Island (10/1 -25%)
Pearly Island

10
10/1(-25%)
(6) Pearly Island 10/1, Dual hurdles scorer who opened chase account in March. Visored for first time when back to form over smaller obstacles, winning an 8-runner handicap hurdle (Fakenham, 20f, soft) in a race that was run to suit. This looks tougher though.
Hammered Godot last time in the new visor and a 6lb rise could have been worse.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

15:35 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The Lucy Wadham stable can do little wrong at present and this represents an ideal opportunity for PEARLY ISLAND to follow up a comfortable success when switched back to hurdles at Fakenham. A 6lb rise could prove lenient and it may be that Loverdose gives him the most to think about, having scored with ease at Windsor. A taking winner over 2m at Lingfield, Dominic's Fault may improve for going back up in trip, while Il Va De Soi is another to note.

DOMINIC'S FAULT looks to have scope and size and it bodes well that he was able to get the job done over 2 miles last time. He can progress again for this step up in trip ahead of High Game Royal who is an interesting challenger dropping back in distance having flattered to deceive at Cheltenham last time. Spirit d'Aunou, Loverdose and Il Va de Soi are all respected, with marginal preference for the last named to claim bronze here.

All eight have chances. SPIRIT D'AUNOU is back on his last winning mark and loves the mud, so the forecast rain heightens interest.

Lord Of All Saints

3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(8) Lord Of All Saints 10/3, Very much on the up since sent handicapping this winter and scored at Leicester and Warwick (19f, soft). Very impressive on latter occasion so not taken lightly despite a 13 lb weights hike.
Showed his rivals no mercy with a 16l success at Warwick; raised 13lb for that.

2nd (6) Marlacoo (3/1 +45%)
Marlacoo

3
3/1(+45%)
(6) Marlacoo 3/1, Debut winner of a Down Royal bumper in May. Changed hands for £85,000 soon after and made a promising start to hurdling when third in 2m novice at Warwick. Fell 5th on his handicap debut at Wetherby (2m4f) last month and not written off.
Fell mid-race on handicap debut but was eyecatchingly short in the market.

3rd (1) Typhoon Flyer (13/2 +28%)
Typhoon Flyer

13/2(+28%)
(1) Typhoon Flyer 13/2, Made all at Market Rasen in November and backed it up with a very good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Back up in trip and can go well again.
Third of 18 on handicap debut at Ascot so ran well, but others might be better in.
10

(10) Speiriuil 17/2, Got off the mark at Lingfield in November and looked set to follow up when unseated rider last in 2m4f Huntingdon handicap 22 days ago. Up 5 lb but she must enter calculations.
Unlucky not to have gone back-to-back last time; up 5lb but she's progressive.
3
5th (3) Authentic Legacy (9/2 +10%)
Authentic Legacy

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(3) Authentic Legacy 9/2, Authorized gelding who has shaped well in making the frame all 4 starts over hurdles, latest when third in 2m handicap here last month. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Remains open to improvement with the longer trip expected to suit. Player.
Now 0-6 and proving expensive to following; still ran well on handicap debut here.

(5) French Symphony 16/1, Still a maiden and he came in a below-par third on the back of a wind op in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.
Has yet to deliver the goods and this mark is tough on what he's achieved thus far.

(2) Sonification 11/1, Won a Chepstow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in spring 2022. Promise all 3 starts over hurdles since, runner-up for his new yard in 2m Leicester novice last month. Has more to offer now going handicapping.
Has ability but there's perhaps potential factored into this initial handicap mark.

(9) Seek Him There 12/1, Stepped up on first two hurdles starts when second of 13 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Step up in trip looks a positive and holds solid claims on his handicap debut.
Holds French Symphony on maiden form; needs to see out this longer trip on a stiff track.

(11) Sandscape 20/1, Progressive sort who came in a very good second of 8 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 48 days ago. Has more to offer, especially now his stamina is drawn out on his handicap bow.
Latest form has taken some knocks but makes some each-way appeal on handicap debut.

16:10 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

AUTHENTIC LEGACY may still be a maiden after six starts, but he has long given the impression that he may improve for going up in distance and he gets that opportunity now. A respectable third on his most recent appearance over 2m here, he is preferred to the hat-trick-seeking Lord Of All Saints and Marlacoo, who ran well in novice hurdles before falling on his handicap debut at Wetherby.

Lots of these offer potential, not least AUTHENTIC LEGACY who can build on earlier promise now stepped up in trip and get off the mark. Marlacoo also figures on a handy-looking mark and heads the list of dangers, although Speiriuil, Sandscape, Lord of All Saints and The Long Point all bring solid credentials to the table in this cracking handicap.

The call is MARLACOO who bumped into a smart one in his final novice and departed mid-race when all the rage for his first handicap.

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.
