1st (5) (16/1 +52%) It's Maisy |
16/1(+52%) | (5) It's Maisy 16/1, Fair form standout effort in bumpers but was well held on C&D hurdling debut in February and promises to be of little interest this side of handicaps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (200/1 -100%) Bilboa River |
200/1(-100%) | (3) Bilboa River 200/1, Ex-pointer who hasn't offered much under Rules. Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Price. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|C| (1) (1.38/1 +21%) Blue Fin |
1.38/1(+21%) | (1) Blue Fin 1.38/1, Runner-up on only start in bumpers and opened his account at the third time of asking over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Turned in a bit of a lacklustre effort under a penalty at Uttoxeter but still a major player in an uncompetitive race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (40/1 -233%) Longstone Cowboy |
40/1(-233%) | (4) Longstone Cowboy 40/1, Little impact between the flags but much more like it fitted with a hood when runner-up on second hurdles outing at Hexham (20.1f) in September. Ran to a similar level at Kelso next time but has his work cut out up against a fairly useful pair on his return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (0.67/1 +0%) Rambo T |
0.67/1(+0%) | (2) Rambo T 0.67/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who confirmed previous promise upped in trip when off the mark in 13-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f) 48 days ago, albeit fortunate on the day. Has obvious claims of following up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although a slightly fortunate winner at Chepstow last time (two lengths down when left clear at the last) RAMBO T sets the standard as he looks to follow up. The form of the Ollly Murphy stable is another plus and he should have too much for Newcastle winner Blue Fin, who is better than what he showed at Uttoxeter last time. Longstone Cowboy has claims on his penultimate second at Hexham.
A likely match between BLUE FIN and Rambo T. The former was a shade underwhelming at Uttoxeter last time, but he'd previously been going the right way and can get back to winning ways in an uncompetitive event.
This can go to RAMBO T, who had the placed horses well strung out behind him when scoring over a similar trip at Chepstow last time.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (4/1 +11%) Fulgurix |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Fulgurix 4/1, Winner at Hexham (2m) last spring. Seen just 3 times since but was a respectable third at Wetherby 24 days ago after 4 months off and entitled to come on for that. Stamina to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (22/1 +12%) Touch Kick |
22/1(+12%) | (6) Touch Kick 22/1, Veteran whose losing run is mounting up and again finished weakly when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Kelso (21.6f, heavy) 89 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5.5/1 +66%) Marshalled |
5.5/1(+66%) | (1) Marshalled 5.5/1, Notched second win over hurdles at Punchestown last spring (also successful twice in this sphere) and good second returned to fences back from a break at Fairyhouse in October. Mistakes have proved costly since, however, including both starts for this yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (5.5/1 +0%) Spot On Soph |
5.5/1(+0%) | (9) Spot On Soph 5.5/1, Won a pair of 19f Catterick handicap chases last season. Runner-up a couple of times this term and in better form over hurdles than recent form figures suggest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3.33/1 -77%) Road Warrior |
3.33/1(-77%) | (4) Road Warrior 3.33/1, Bounced back to form with a bang when 12-length winner at Newcastle last month. Remains potentially well treated and capable of holding his form once finding it (consistent last term), so good chance of following up with yard going well still. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (4.5/1 +40%) Mister Bells |
4.5/1(+40%) | (7) Mister Bells 4.5/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when winning at Market Rasen under this rider last month but 4 lb rise leaves him vulnerable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (10/1 +44%) Mac Suibhne |
10/1(+44%) | (8) Mac Suibhne 10/1, Made a positive start for this yard after joining from Ireland, winning over hurdles in July and making a successful debut over fences in a match race at Wetherby (21f) in October. Not so good next 2 starts but given a break since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (14/1 -40%) Getaway Luv |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Getaway Luv 14/1, Successful over fences either side of a heavy defeat over hurdles but could hardly have been more fortunate for latter win at Ayr (favourite fell when clear and other rival weakened markedly). Struggled off same mark at Carlisle since and has been eased 3 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -400%) Cilluirid |
50/1(-400%) | (5) Cilluirid 50/1, Has developed into a Sedgefield specialist over fences, winning 4 handicaps here in 2021/22. Well held here when last seen in May but returns on a winning mark. Market should reveal expectations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Road Warrior has never been the most consistent and it is difficult to know if he can uphold the form he showed when bounding clear at Newcastle last month. The safer option may be MISTER BELLS, who got it together for these connections at Market Rasen and is still well handicapped on his old Irish form. Fulgurix is a decent sort at this level and must be noted, along with the capable Getaway Luv.
ROAD WARRIOR capitalised on his lowest mark for 2 years at Newcastle last month and remains potentially well treated up 7 lb, so he is taken to follow up with his yard still in good form. Cilluirid has an excellent record here and reappears on a winning mark, so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Fulgurix.
Top of the list is ROAD WARRIOR (nap), who cashed in on a reduced mark with his dominant display at Newcastle last month.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (2.75/1 -10%) Thunderclap |
2.75/1(-10%) | (4) Thunderclap 2.75/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and being brought along steadily in this sphere, fourth in a Ffos Las novice that worked out before a good second at Huntingdon (15.8f). Big run expected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Artiste D'ainay |
2.5/1(+38%) | (1) Artiste D'ainay 2.5/1, Showed little in 2 bumpers but shaped with much more promise when third in 24-runner maiden at Naas (18.8f, soft) on hurdles debut in December. Unsuited by the drop in trip at Newcastle and wasted no time getting back to form when second at Musselburgh (17.4f) 3 weeks ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 -40%) My Brother Jack |
7/1(-40%) | (6) My Brother Jack 7/1, Modest Flat winner who has found only one too good on each of his 3 starts over hurdles, overdoing the forcing tactics tackling softer ground than previously at Musselburgh in November. Must enter calculations back from a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (66/1 -65%) Monaghan Boy |
66/1(-65%) | (3) Monaghan Boy 66/1, Fair in bumpers but hasn't got anywhere near that level in 6 attempts over hurdles. Tongue strap on for the 1st time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (1.38/1 +15%) Waspy |
1.38/1(+15%) | (5) Waspy 1.38/1, Winning pointer who shaped promisingly in his only bumper and did the same sent hurdling when runner-up to subsequent EBF Final winner Crambo at Bangor in February. Likely to improve and has leading claims on that form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (50/1 -100%) Rouse |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Rouse 50/1, In good hands but has shown just poor form in a trio of bumpers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (125/1 -89%) Last Mission |
125/1(-89%) | (2) Last Mission 125/1, Fair Flat winner but unproven beyond 8.5f and stamina may well be an issue in this sphere judged on his first try at Newcastle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (125/1 -25%) National Charter |
125/1(-25%) | (8) National Charter 125/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) but has made no impact in 3 starts over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WASPY finished a good second in behind the now 131-rated Crambo on his hurdling debut in February and Donald McCain's charge could go one better with improvement likely. Thunderclap has been running well in defeat and he must go on the shortlist, along with Artiste D'ainay, who arrives on the back of a creditable Musselburgh effort. My Brother Jack heads the remainder.
WASPY is sure to be suited by further in time but his second to subsequent EBF Final winner Crambo at Bangor in February catches the eye, so he's an obvious choice to go one better. Thunderclap and My Brother Jack are considered the main threats.
Several have possibilities but Hughie Morrison's THUNDERCLAP gets the vote ahead of Artiste D'Ainay.

1st (6) (5.5/1 -57%) Zara's Universe |
5.5/1(-57%) | (6) Zara's Universe 5.5/1, Built on promise of her previous start when taking 5-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago, going clear. 5 lb higher now but may be capable of better over the larger obstacles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (22/1 +0%) Robins Field |
22/1(+0%) | (7) Robins Field 22/1, Shaped better than previously when 4½ lengths fourth of 5 to Beat The Edge in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago. Claims if building on that here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Guillaume |
5.5/1(-10%) | (2) Guillaume 5.5/1, Winning pointer who caught the eye when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy, 100/1) 29 days ago, not knocked about. Switches to fences for handicap debut and is an interesting contender. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Fearless Action |
4.5/1(+25%) | (3) Fearless Action 4.5/1, Solid efforts both starts over fences, latest when third of 8 over C&D (heavy) 31 days ago. Still looking for first success under rules, though, and others more persuasive. Had wind operation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6/1 -9%) Beat The Edge |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Beat The Edge 6/1, Belatedly off the mark when taking 5-runner handicap chase (5/2) at Wetherby (15.2f, soft) 14 days ago, just holding on. 4 lb rise fair and must enter calculations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4.5/1 +36%) Johnny Mac |
4.5/1(+36%) | (8) Johnny Mac 4.5/1, Well held in 4 races over hurdles but has shown more in a couple of starts in this sphere, latest when third of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 23 days ago. Not discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (18/1 -50%) Getaway Jewel |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Getaway Jewel 18/1, Landed a Market Rasen double (both 17.2f) in July but not scored since and arrives on back of below-par effort at Wetherby. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (3.5/1 +0%) Chemical Warfare |
3.5/1(+0%) | (5) Chemical Warfare 3.5/1, Promising sort who left his chase debut form well behind when second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) 73 days ago. 4 lb higher now but may have more to offer in this sphere yet. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Beat The Edge idled when hitting the front at Wetherby last month and though he scrambled home, it would have to raise slight concerns. ZARA'S UNIVERSE was rewarded for her consistency when winning at Market Rasen last time and, with a 5lb rise in the handicap unlikely to pose an issue, she edges the vote. Chemical Warfare is another to consider.
It could be worth chancing chase debutant GUILLAUME, who caught the eye on his latest start over hurdles and has the physique for this discipline. Chemical Warfare and Zara's Universe rate the principal dangers.
The vote goes to ZARA'S UNIVERSE, who was a clearcut win at Market Rasen last month and should have more to offer in this sphere.

1st (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Atomic Angel |
4.5/1(+10%) | (4) Atomic Angel 4.5/1, C&D winner who regained winning thread at Catterick (25.3f) in January and dispelled lesser effort granted run of the race when second in 5-runner Hexham handicap (23.3f) 15 days ago, edged out only close home. This looks a little deeper, however. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +30%) Thatbeatsbanagher |
1.75/1(+30%) | (1) Thatbeatsbanagher 1.75/1, Building up a very good record at this track, posting a career-best display when landing his third C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Rider takes off handy 5 lb once more and he's expected to be in the mix. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +27%) Ballin Bay |
8/1(+27%) | (2) Ballin Bay 8/1, Some encouragement to glean from his bumper debut effort in December and best effort over hurdles came on qualifying run when fourth in 9-runner maiden at Carlisle last month. Switch to handicaps rates a plus and marked increase in trip could unlock further progress. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.75/1 +17%) Great Raffles |
2.75/1(+17%) | (6) Great Raffles 2.75/1, Ended last season with back-to-back wins (including this race) and creditable in-the-frame efforts all 3 starts so far this campaign. Possible he'll sharpen up for his latest run at Wetherby 24 days ago and worth considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 +7%) Mr Palmtree |
7/1(+7%) | (7) Mr Palmtree 7/1, Dual chase winner in 2020/21 campaign. Missed last season and readily surpassed form of first 2 starts this campaign when landing 7-runner Warwick handicap 926f) 15 days ago. 5 lb higher mark to contend with here on the back of a relatively quick turnaround. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 +65%) Lockdown Leader |
14/1(+65%) | (8) Lockdown Leader 14/1, Appeared to take a step in the right direction when third of 10 at Perth (3m) in June but all 3 starts thereafter where below that level. Comes here on back of 6 months off/wind op and others hold stronger claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (80/1 -142%) Alien Encounter |
80/1(-142%) | (9) Alien Encounter 80/1, Offered little either start in bumpers and similar story in handful of maiden/novice hurdle outings upon returning from a lengthy absence this year. Needs to step up plenty to play a part on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
THATBEATSBANAGHER gained immediate compensation when winning over C&D last month, having been narrowly beaten by The Blame Game the start prior. Good ground might not have played to his strengths on that occasion and it would be no surprise were he to reverse the form with conditions set to suit. Mr Palmtree routed his rivals at Warwick 15 days ago and he looks a likely player once more, along with Atomic Angel.
Plenty in with a shout over this marathon trip, including last year's winner GREAT RAFFLES. It's possible he will be sharper for his Wetherby run 24 days ago and this sort of mark doesn't look beyond him back up in trip. The Blame Game and Thatbeatsbanagher have both compiled good course records and are others expected to be in the mix.
We already know THATBEATSBANAGHER loves it here and he is taken to defy a 5lb rise and win again.

1st (4) (2.75/1 +0%) Skyhill |
2.75/1(+0%) | (4) Skyhill 2.75/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark to score at Sedgefield in December before following up at Catterick (25.2f, soft) on New Year's Day. Shaped as if still in decent heart both starts since and this is an easier race than last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6.5/1 +68%) Williamdeconqueror |
6.5/1(+68%) | (5) Williamdeconqueror 6.5/1, Modest form at best over hurdles in 2020/21 season. Offered little switched to fences after nearly 2 years off and others are preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Henry Brown |
3.33/1(+5%) | (6) Henry Brown 3.33/1, Suited by way race developed when finally off the mark at Hexham (24.2f) in September and back to form when second over C&D last time. One to consider in a thin race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (80/1 -300%) Archie Brown |
80/1(-300%) | (1) Archie Brown 80/1, Won at Market Rasen in February 2021 but has been seen only once since and can only be watched on return from another lengthy absence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7.5/1 -67%) Vetoncall |
7.5/1(-67%) | (8) Vetoncall 7.5/1, Made a winning return from another absence at Fakenham (3m) in November and back to form when runner-up in 4-runner event there last time. Merits respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (6.5/1 +68%) Alone No More |
6.5/1(+68%) | (9) Alone No More 6.5/1, Rules form is pretty uninspiring and he has been well below par for this stabe so far. Returns to chasing with cheekpieces refitted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/1 -13%) Kaphumor |
9/1(-13%) | (3) Kaphumor 9/1, Winless since 2021 and produced another laboured effort when pulled up at Wetherby last week. Hard to make a solid case for. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (10/1 +17%) Larry Looby |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Larry Looby 10/1, Five wins (all under Emma Smith-Chaston) in a very productive first half of the season. Respectable sixth at Newcastle in November and unseated at Wetherby on only start since. Should give a good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (12/1 -50%) Lawtop Legend |
12/1(-50%) | (7) Lawtop Legend 12/1, Showed improved form to resume winning ways at Stratford but off 19 months subsequently and pulled up at Fakenham, leaving him with a bit to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LAWTOP LEGEND was not his usual self when pulling up at Fakenham last month, but that was his first run since August 2021 and he was entitled to be rusty. He has won off this mark and over a similar trip before and may bounce back to his best with stamina at a premium. Skyhill has won over C&D on similar ground and cannot be discounted, while the returning Archie Brown could make the frame.
Having landed a double in the winter, SKYHILL has shaped as if still in reasonable form the last twice, so he looks a solid proposition in a race where the majority have something to prove. Vetoncall and Henry Brown look the main dangers.
The tentative vote goes to SKYHILL, who registered a soft-ground C&D win earlier in the season.

1st (11) (11/1 -83%) Killane |
11/1(-83%) | (11) Killane 11/1, Won 3 low-level handicaps in a productive 2021/22 campaign. Not at best this term but is well treated if first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) help him to stage a revival. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5.5/1 +50%) Benito |
5.5/1(+50%) | (2) Benito 5.5/1, Doubled tally over hurdles at Cartmel (2¾m) last summer. Runner-up on next 2 starts but hasn't been at best in recent outings. Back on a good mark but need to see more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3/1 +45%) Coup De Gold |
3/1(+45%) | (6) Coup De Gold 3/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. Third of 4 in handicap hurdle at this course (2½m, heavy, 7/2) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3.5/1 +53%) El Jefe |
3.5/1(+53%) | (7) El Jefe 3.5/1, C&D winner last winter. Operating below his best this winter but is too well handicapped to dismiss. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (12/1 +14%) George Mallory |
12/1(+14%) | (10) George Mallory 12/1, First past the post at Uttoxeter in July (subsequently disqualified for a banned substance). Returned from 4 months off to finish second at Southwell in November but off again until pulled up at Market Rasen last month. Needs to leave that run well behind. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6/1 -140%) Lovin Jukebox |
6/1(-140%) | (4) Lovin Jukebox 6/1, Best run over hurdles when 9 lengths second (Edgar Allan Poe third) om C&D handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Lightly-raced profile provides hope for better again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (40/1 -43%) Robin Goodfellow |
40/1(-43%) | (12) Robin Goodfellow 40/1, Poor maiden on Flat and has yet to achieve much over hurdles, finishing behind Lovin Jukebox and Edgar Allan Poe when a well-held fourth of 6 on C&D handicap debut 22 days ago. 6 lb out of the handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (10/1 -100%) Edgar Allan Poe |
10/1(-100%) | (3) Edgar Allan Poe 10/1, Seven-time winner on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m handicap at Catterick in January. Creditable third of 6 over this C&D (heavy) 3 weeks ago. Likely to be competitive again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (8/1 +20%) Tonyx |
8/1(+20%) | (1) Tonyx 8/1, Fair Flat winner who opened account over hurdles in C&D novice in April 2021. Very lightly raced and little to get excited about since, pulling up in Fakenham claiming hurdle last time. Return to this venue needs to spark a major revival. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (150/1 -275%) Mistamel |
150/1(-275%) | (5) Mistamel 150/1, First hurdle run since 2017 when seventh of 9 over C&D in October 2021. Subsequently left Iain Jardine and has been off for 18 months. Can only watch. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Benito is beginning to look well handicapped having won off this mark last year, but his best form is over further than this and he may find some have too much speed for him. Killane is interesting in first-time blinkers with a 10lb conditional on board, but he has been out of sorts for some time, and TONYX may have the edge. Although a character and pulled up at Fakenham last month, she won easily over C&D in 2021 and may be able to make all in this company.
It might be worth taking a chance on KILLANE, who is well treated, particularly when William Maggs's 10 lb claim is taken into account, if first-time blinkers have a positive effect. Lovin Jukebox, a stablemate of the selection, and Edgar Allan Poe were second/third in the same C&D contest last time and may provide the main opposition.
The tentative suggestion is EL JEFE who has trip and ground to suit and has recently been heading steadily the right way again.

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.
