Races & Results Thursday 14th November 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Suitably Surprised 6/5, Runner-up on her final outing in points and left previous efforts under Rules behind when second over C&D from out of the weights 9 days ago. Now 4 lb lower and is an obvious player. Second to thriving rival over C&D nine days ago and effectively 4lb lower this time.
2
2nd (2) (11/4 +8%) Foster's Fortune
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(2) Foster's Fortune 11/4, Improved greatly for the switch into handicaps when winning in May and has run with credit on both starts since. Merits respect. C&D winner on handicap debut in May and back from break with two good runs last month.
1
3rd (1) (16/1 0%) I'm Too Tired
16
16/1(0%)
(1) I'm Too Tired 16/1, Breakthrough success in this sphere came here in January. Hasn't fired since but worthy of a market check back at this track after 6 months off. 2m4f course winner in January but absent since a poor 3m run in April.
3
4th (3) (7/1 -250%) Love True
7
7/1(-250%)
(3) Love True 7/1, Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 13f in France. Improved on previous efforts in this sphere when third in a novice at Huntingdon 7 months ago and has the scope for better on handicap debut. Big player on comeback. Triple Flat winner in France; placed twice over hurdles in Britain; handicap debut today.
7
5th (7) (66/1 +34%) Solway Staree
66
66/1(+34%)
(7) Solway Staree 66/1, Little form in bumper/over hurdles and looks firmly up against it again. Ten-race maiden who has struggled to get seriously competitive in all five handicaps.
8
6th (8) (16/1 -45%) Inoue
16
16/1(-45%)
(8) Inoue 16/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers for Stuart Crawford and yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles. Switches to handicaps with a tongue tie on. Well beaten in his three qualifying races and 7lb wrong for this handicap debut.
4
7th (4) (28/1 -229%) Three Platoon
28
28/1(-229%)
(4) Three Platoon 28/1, Out of form when last seen in this sphere and failed to beat a rival on the Flat recently, so needs blinkers to have a positive effect if he's to make his presence felt. Dual AW winner this autumn but tailed off when back over hurdles; others look safer.
5
|PU| (5) (100/1 -100%) Gieves
100
100/1(-100%)
(5) Gieves 100/1, Worcester hurdles winner last September and bettered his low-key chase debut third in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July. Poor efforts both starts since, though, leaving Ben Pauling prior to latest. Tailed-off outsider over fences on stable debut; back hurdling in refitted cheekpieces.
12:05 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LOVE TRUE took a big step forward when third at Huntingdon (winner followed up next time and second rated 124) and she makes plenty of appeal starting handicap life off a mark of 95, especially as Ben Smith takes a handy 8lb off her back. Foster's Fortune has posted a couple of solid placed efforts since winning over C&D in May and will likely give another good account, while Suitably Surprised also merits consideration following her recent track-and-trip second.
LOVE TRUE showed improvement when last seen 7 months ago and, based on her French Flat form, she could be well in here, so she's preferred to Suitably Surprised, who ran well over C&D (from out of the weights) last time and is now able to race from a lower mark. Foster's Fortune is another one to consider.
Foster's Fortune is respected but SUITABLY SURPRISED (nap) took a good step forward when second over C&D last week and gets the nod.
(2) Mill Street 5/2, Made frame on 3 of 4 starts in US Flat maidens and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when runner-up at Newton Abbot in June. Sent off a well-backed favourite but fell well short of expectations at Stratford (16.3f, good) the following month but worth chancing to get back on track. Flat maiden in USA; second on jumps debut but well beaten last time; quite interesting.
8
2nd (8) (4/1 +38%) Masonbrook Meadow
4
4/1(+38%)
(8) Masonbrook Meadow 4/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who hit the frame on first 4 starts over hurdles. However, she ran badly in a much deeper event than she'd previously contested at Wincanton (15.2f, good) last month but can get back on track returned to calmer waters. Some promise over hurdles, but not progressed and pulled up last time; bit to prove now..
1
3rd (1) (4/1 +53%) Malinka
4
4/1(+53%)
(1) Malinka 4/1, Fair Flat performer who made a winning debut over hurdles in smooth style after 11 weeks off for new yard at Cartmel in August, responding well. Disappointed under a penalty at Market Rasen the following month and finished well held back on the level at Catterick recently. Hood applied. Won at Cartmel on jumps debut but well beaten both starts since; could bounce back.
5
4th (5) (11/2 +31%) Trafalgar Square
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(5) Trafalgar Square 11/2, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in juvenile at Market Rasen in June. Pretty disappointing in both codes since, however, first-time blinkers failing to have the desired effect at Newcastle (16.2f, good) a fortnight ago. Modest on the Flat; winner on jumps debut but hasn't progressed (tried blinkers latest).
4
5th (4) (100/1 -355%) Sweet Soul Music
100
100/1(-355%)
(4) Sweet Soul Music 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat but lame when tailed-off last both starts at Newcastle this year. Offered little tried over hurdles over C&D (good to soft) recently so can only be watched. Modest on the Flat; well held over C&D on jumps debut; others appeal more.
3
|F| (3) (50/1 -52%) On The Bubble
50
50/1(-52%)
(3) On The Bubble 50/1, 1m Flat winner at Redcar in May and made a successful start over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) the following month. Little encouragement to glean from 3 subsequent starts (previous 2 on the level last month) so the percentage call is to look elsewhere. 1m Flat winner; won modest event on jumps debut but has been well beaten since.
6
|U| (6) (2/1 0%) Vinny's Dream
2
2/1(0%)
(6) Vinny's Dream 2/1, Fair form on Flat, running at least as well as previously when third in novice at Chelmsford (10f) 5 weeks ago, no extra final 100 yds. Worth a second look on hurdling debut for a yard adept with similar types in recent seasons. Lightly raced Flat maiden; best run at 1m2f on AW; quite interesting on jumps debut.
7
|PU| (7) (28/1 -155%) Jailbird
28
28/1(-155%)
(7) Jailbird 28/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), cashing in on a reduced mark at Lingfield in July. Sold from Richard Bandey £11,000 last month and worth monitoring in the betting on hurdling debut. First-time tongue tie applied. 1m3f Flat winner in July; worth considering on jumps debut with tongue-tie tried.
12:40 Sedgefield Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A chance is taken on VINNY'S DREAM, who has earned a rating of 73 on the Flat with three decent enough efforts and he looks the sort that should take to this sphere. It's also encouraging that his stable are currently two from three with their hurdle runners at this venue. Mill Street is interestingly Ben Pauling's only runner on the card and may bounce back from a disappointing effort at Stratford, while Masonbrook Meadow also holds claims on her best form.
MILL STREET fell well short of expectations at Stratford in July but having been freshened up since, Ben Pauling's charge is fancied to go one better than on hurdling debut at the expense of Vinny's Dream, who has run to a fair level on the Flat and represents a trainer adept with similar types in juvenile hurdles. Masonbrook Meadow can edge out Malinka for third.
Although disappointing last time MALINKA showed a fair level of form when winning on his hurdles debut and is taken to bounce back.
(3) Natural Ability 3/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser in Ireland who showed first solid form after 5 months off/for new yard when fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (16.4f). Might have been amiss next time and has since changed yards again. Worth another chance. 0-8 over fences but chance on his C&D 4th two runs back; pulled up next time; yard debut.
2
2nd (2) (10/3 +49%) Socks Off
3.333333
10/3(+49%)
(2) Socks Off 10/3, Won handicap hurdle here almost 2 years ago but was well held sent chasing by new connections after 17 months off at Market Rasen 30 days ago. Visored for 1st time. 2m4f hurdles winner; made a few mistakes when sixth of eight on chase debut; visor tried.
6
3rd (6) (7/2 +46%) Miss Fedora
3.5
7/2(+46%)
(6) Miss Fedora 7/2, Got back on track reverted to hurdling when landing 8-runner handicap at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) in August. Below form next 2 starts, however, including back over fences last time (lower in the weights in this sphere). Better handicapped over fences than hurdles; excuses for latest heavy defeat; a possible.
8
4th (8) (11/4 +31%) Cofficionado
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(8) Cofficionado 11/4, On the back of a breathing operation, he found only one too good on handicap debut at Market Rasen in May. Has failed to scale those heights since (hooded on latest) and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles. Has shown promise on a few occasions over hurdles; worth considering on his chase debut.
4
5th (4) (11/1 +67%) Darkest Day
11
11/1(+67%)
(4) Darkest Day 11/1, Out of sorts since second start this season so plenty to prove sent chasing. Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; out of form since Perth 2nd in June; chase debut.
5
|U| (5) (33/1 +34%) Fllana Bay
33
33/1(+34%)
(5) Fllana Bay 33/1, Poor maiden hurdler who makes little appeal on chase bow. 13-race maiden; failed to complete on last 3 hurdle starts; hard to fancy on chase debut.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 +36%) Edmond Dantes
16
16/1(+36%)
(7) Edmond Dantes 16/1, Went close over hurdles at Hexham last summer but it's been all downhill since, including back over fences latest. Dual Flat winner; 0-16 over jumps, including two chase attempts; hard to fancy.
13:15 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Dropped into class 5 company for the first time since winning easily at Southwell in June, NEIGH BOTHA is fancied to give weight and a beating to these rivals. He certainly wasn't disgraced in a 0-120 event, also at Southwell, most recently and the handicapper has been kind in dropping him 3lb in the ratings since. Natural Ability might have been freshened up by a recent stable switch and a repeat of his penultimate fourth over C&D should put him on the premises. A switch to fences may spark some improvement from the four-year-old Cofficionado.
NEIGH BOTHA is creeping back down to his last winning mark so gets the vote down in class. Natural Ability and Miss Fedora are feared most in a weak event.
Despite his patchy profile over hurdles a chance is taken on COFFICIONADO on his chase debut. Neigh Botha is next best.
(5) Reel Rosie 10/3, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat (stays 1½m) and some promise when fourth of 10 in mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdling debut 13 days ago. Could be in the mix as she goes up in trip. Quite useful on the Flat; never-dangerous fourth on hurdles debut but better is likely.
7
2nd (7) (15/8 +38%) Winds Of Winter
1.875
15/8(+38%)
(7) Winds Of Winter 15/8, More encouragement since switched to handicaps, including when runner-up at Perth (20.2f) on stable debut in September. Ran to similar level when third at the same course (16.2f, soft) last time and she can give her running again back in a maiden. Ex-Irish; placed in 2 handicaps at Perth for this yard (first over 2m4f); each-way chance.
2
3rd (2) (6/4 +67%) Devon Skies
1.5
6/4(+67%)
(2) Devon Skies 6/4, Well held in 2 bumpers but offered more when fourth in maiden at this course (16.8f) on hurdling debut. Ran to similar level when second at Newcastle (16.2f, good) 2 weeks ago and she promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Respected. Career-best when second at Newcastle two weeks ago (2m1f); longer trip should suit; chance.
8
4th (8) (16/1 +52%) Crackerjack Queen
16
16/1(+52%)
(8) Crackerjack Queen 16/1, Failed to complete both starts in points, having every chance when falling the second time. Is bred to stay well and shaped accordingly when ninth of 12 in mares' bumper at Uttoxeter on Rules debut last month. Upped in trip for her hurdles bow. Failed to complete in two points; well beaten on bumper debut; should improve now hurdling.
4
5th (4) (28/1 +15%) Myfavouritesister
28
28/1(+15%)
(4) Myfavouritesister 28/1, From the family of yard's star jumper The Real Whacker but didn't make much impact in a pair of bumpers in the spring, before hanging badly left when tailed off at Aintree on return. Has work to do sent hurdling. Modest form in three bumpers and needs to do better now going over hurdles.
6
6th (6) (14/1 -100%) Trysting Thorn
14
14/1(-100%)
(6) Trysting Thorn 14/1, Making third start in bumpers, showed improved form when third of 12 in mares' event at this course last month. Bred to be suited by this longer distance as she makes hurdling debut. Improved form when 3rd in a 2m1f bumper here latest; perhaps best watched on hurdles debut.
3
7th (3) (100/1 +0%) Florita
100
100/1(+0%)
(3) Florita 100/1, Runner-up on the last 2 of her 3 starts in points but has finished well held both starts in maiden hurdles, the latest at this course (16.8f, soft) last month. Looks to be up against it. Runner-up in two Irish points but modest efforts over hurdles and hard to fancy.
13:50 Sedgefield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DEVON SKIES bumped into a useful prospect when a well-held second over 2m1f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and a repeat of that form may be good enough in this company. That said, Dazzlelikethis showed ability despite falling on her only start between the flags and she should not be underestimated on her Rules debut. Others to note are Winds Of Winter and Trysting Thorn.
Representing last year's winning trainer/jockey combination, DAZZLELIKETHIS held every chance when falling at the last in an Irish point and she could be capable of making a successful start over hurdles. Devon Skies bumped into a promising type on her second outing over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of Reel Rosie.
The vote goes to the Flat winner REEL ROSIE who should improve on her Uttoxeter effort. Devon Skies is next best.
(5) Old Page 14/1, Long-standing maiden who is easy to oppose from out of the handicap. Longstanding maiden; fair third over C&D last time (bled); 6lb wrong but no forlorn hope.
1
2nd (1) (15/8 -15%) Zwicky
1.875
15/8(-15%)
(1) Zwicky 15/8, Multiple hurdles winner last year and positive start in this sphere, off the mark at the third attempt here (21.1f, good to soft, 7/2) 25 days ago after 5 months away. His jumping continues to look an issue but step up in trip will suit. Three hurdle wins; off the mark over fences here last time (2m5f); good chance up in trip.
2
3rd (2) (2/1 -45%) Illogical Logic
2
2/1(-45%)
(2) Illogical Logic 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden who made his first impact over fences when good second of 6 in handicap at Fakenham (24.2f, good) 15 days ago. Big chance of going one better with headgear applied. 0-10; good second over 3m last time; longer trip will suit; headgear tried; big player.
3
4th (3) (7/2 +50%) Lady Mendoza
3.5
7/2(+50%)
(3) Lady Mendoza 7/2, Nine-race maiden over hurdles and looked unconvincing on switch to this discipline last 2 starts. Others more appealing. Winning Irish pointer; fair chase run at Newcastle last time; new headgear; a possible.
4
|PU| (4) (6/1 +25%) Croagh Patrick
6
6/1(+25%)
(4) Croagh Patrick 6/1, On a long losing run and pulled too hard in this headgear at Newcastle 2 weeks ago. Dual 2m4f chase winner; well behind Lady Mendoza last time (2m7f); others stronger.
14:25 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Zwicky has to be of interest having won over 2m5f here last month, but this step up in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for ILLOGICAL LOGIC, who was second off this mark at Fakenham a couple of weeks ago and he may improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces. The rest all have questions to answer, but Lady Mendoza is the pick of them.
ILLOGICAL LOGIC is getting the hang of things over fences now and this looks a good opportunity if he responds well to the cheekpieces. Zwicky is the obvious threat in a thin event.
This longer trip should prove ideal for ZWICKY who is taken to follow up his 2m5f course win. Illogical Logic is next best.
(10) Clean Getaway 10/11, Has done well over fences this year and capitalised on this lenient hurdling mark with something to spare here last time. This is a bit tougher but due to be 10 lb higher and must have solid claims. Escapes a penalty for last week's comfortable course win and is 10lb well in.
3
2nd (3) (40/1 +0%) Achnamara
40
40/1(+0%)
(3) Achnamara 40/1, Fair handicapper on Flat who landed back-to-back 2m handicaps at Catterick/Musselburgh in July. Has struggled since, including on first start back with this yard here 9 days ago. Just a respectable sixth behind stablemate Clean Getaway here (2m1f) last week.
7
3rd (7) (2/1 +50%) Morandi Second
2
2/1(+50%)
(7) Morandi Second 2/1, Good second in 2m Doncaster handicap hurdle in January 2023. Has largely struggled since but was much improved to score at Catterick on the Flat last time, so makes plenty of appeal from a lenient mark. Improver on the Flat since blinkers were added; has first hurdle run in that headgear here.
6
4th (6) (150/1 -500%) Supreme Authority
150
150/1(-500%)
(6) Supreme Authority 150/1, Has shown nothing to date over hurdles and looks up against it again. Struggled to get competitive in five maiden hurdles for Stuart Crawford; stable debut.
9
5th (9) (20/1 -100%) Ginger Pointe
20
20/1(-100%)
(9) Ginger Pointe 20/1, Made a winning yard/chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) in August and run to a similar level both completed starts since, latest when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at same course. Unseated recently and returns to hurdling now. In good form over fences for new stable since August; back hurdling off a lower mark.
12
6th (12) (28/1 -75%) Swift Reply
28
28/1(-75%)
(12) Swift Reply 28/1, Poor maiden hurdler who made an inauspicious chasing debut last month. No surprise he's back in this sphere but others look better treated. Good second at Kelso last month but pulled up here on subsequent chasing debut.
4
7th (4) (33/1 -65%) Upfordebate
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Upfordebate 33/1, Didn't get home when stepped up to 3m at Perth on handicap debut two months ago. Back down markedly in trip now and still unexposed. Ran better than 20l defeat suggests on handicap debut (3m) but others appeal more.
8
8th (8) (14/1 -17%) Star Vantage
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Star Vantage 14/1, Maiden and last season was a write-off but he's probably not badly handicapped and almost certainly needed the run on debut for this yard 17 days ago. Tongue tie on now. 0-11 over hurdles but travelled well to a point on recent seasonal/stable debut.
11
9th (11) (6/1 -20%) Blended Stealth
6
6/1(-20%)
(11) Blended Stealth 6/1, Remains a maiden after 31 NH runs. Very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 7/2) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations. 0-27 over hurdles but 4lb ahead of the handicapper after going close at Hexham on Friday.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -150%) Mystic Man
40
40/1(-150%)
(5) Mystic Man 40/1, Modest chaser who wasn't seeing his races out when last seen and has a bit to prove back over hurdles having left Harry Derham cheaply. Sold out of Harry Derham's stable for £3,000 after a disappointing run last month.
2
|PU| (2) (125/1 -150%) Bamboo Bay
125
125/1(-150%)
(2) Bamboo Bay 125/1, Well held over hurdles when last seen and latest Flat effort doesn't inspire any confidence of a revival. Three Flat wins; very unexposed on decent ground over hurdles but still looks risky.
1
|RR| (1) (100/1 -400%) Sefton Warrior
100
100/1(-400%)
(1) Sefton Warrior 100/1, 0-19 over hurdles but has been running respectably, sixth at this course 44 days ago. First run for this yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Second at Worcester in September but left Shark Hanlon with hurdling strike-rate of 0-19.
15:00 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is hard to oppose CLEAN GETAWAY, who followed up his chase win last month with an impressive hurdles victory over 2m1f here last week. The seven-year-old does not have to carry a penalty for that success and is 10lb well-in as a result. Blended Stealth is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sefton Warrior could make the frame if back to his best.
MORANDI SECOND posted an impressive display to score on the Flat last time and, with blinkers retained, he makes plenty of appeal back in this sphere. Clean Getaway, off the same mark as when scoring here last week, and Blended Stealth are dangerous.
There is no strong temptation to oppose CLEAN GETAWAY, who escapes a penalty for his comfortable course win nine days ago.

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.
