William Ewart

1.75
7/4(+22%)
(7) William Ewart 7/4, Form patchy since his convincing victory over hurdles at Bangor (23f, soft) in March, but suspect he may yet do better over fences now back up in trip off a good mark.
He's an inconsistent sort but has the form to feature in this modest a race.

Wonder Of The Seas

3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(6) Wonder Of The Seas 10/3, Well held in bumper/over hurdles but has the size for chasing. Interesting in thin handicap with cheekpieces tried.
Poor so far but now goes chasing with cheekpieces added.

Bignorm

4/1(+71%)
(9) Bignorm 4/1, Is a long time without a win and hasn't been firing this season.
He's had his ground this season and yet hasn't remotely threatened.

4th (8) The Electrician (9/1 +36%)
The Electrician

9
9/1(+36%)
(8) The Electrician 9/1, Dual winner over shorter last season but efforts for current yard have lacked spark. Stronger headgear tried.
Seems to be treading water this season; tries blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).

|PU| (1) The Lion Dancer (12/1 -118%)
The Lion Dancer

12
12/1(-118%)
(1) The Lion Dancer 12/1, Four-time winner over fences for Charlie Mann who produced his best effort for some time when making a winning return from 9 months off at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) on sole start last season. However, reverted to looking a tricky ride back from another absence at Market Rasen in December.
3m+ on deep ground is right up his street but current wellbeing is an issue.

Ya Know Yaseff

13/2(-44%)
(5) Ya Know Yaseff 13/2, Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicap chases at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.8f) in September. Mixed bag since, however, taking little interest from the off at Hereford last time.
Patchy profile but two runs back she was runner-up on soft at Wincanton.

Spotty Dog

22/1(-120%)
(2) Spotty Dog 22/1, Dual winner over fences at Huntingdon at the start of 2023 but has pulled up on both outings this term. Back on a successful mark but not obviously in the form to capitalise.
Capable on his day but jumped poorly before pulling up on his recent belated return.

Noche Negra

0
Evens(-10%)
(3) Noche Negra Evens, Improved on his chasing debut form to get off the mark in 19.2f Catterick novices' handicap chase 3 week ago, staying on well. Well bred (brother to high-class chaser Nube Negra) and may do better still. Leading claims.
Looks open to plenty of improvement after coming clear at Catterick; raised 8lb.
2
2nd (2) Royal Mer (9/4 +10%)
Royal Mer

2.25
9/4(+10%)
(2) Royal Mer 9/4, Has returned to something like his best back over fences, scoring at Ffos Las and Leicester in recent months. Probably didn't stay at the latter track last time and better expected back in trip here.
Record of 2-5 over fences and seems best at this trip with 2m6f proving a stretch latest.

3rd (1) Out On The Tear (10/3 +0%)
Out On The Tear

3.333333
10/3(+0%)
(1) Out On The Tear 10/3, Wasted no time getting back to form when second at Sedgefield last month and lurks on a tempting mark back down in class.
2nd at Sedgefield latest; dropped into a Class 5 this time and must have a chance.

4th (5) Leading The Way (20/1 +60%)
Leading The Way

20/1(+60%)
(5) Leading The Way 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler, always behind on recent chase debut at Ffos Las. Hard to fancy.
Ex-Irish maiden; tailed off in three runs for this yard, latterly on his switch to fences.

Imperial Bede

1.875
15/8(+25%)
(3) Imperial Bede 15/8, French bumper winner who struck in a Huntingdon maiden hurdle a year ago. Form has plateaued over hurdles but this sort of trip should suit and he's not ruled out in an open contest on chase debut.
Hurdle exploits suggest this mark is doable and he might well improve for going chasing.
2
2nd (2) Sageburg County (6/4 +25%)
Sageburg County

1.5
6/4(+25%)
(2) Sageburg County 6/4, Made a winning start over fences at Market Rasen in May before doubling his tally in this sphere at Southwell in November. Found nothing at Doncaster last time, though, so he has a bit to prove after such a disconcerting effort.
Probably needs testing ground, on which he impressed here on his penultimate start.
5
3rd (5) Family Business (4/1 +43%)
Family Business

4
4/1(+43%)
(5) Family Business 4/1, Has slipped in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap chase (14/1) at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Jumping remains a concern but this looks a winnable contest.
Hasn't been on his game for a while and unlikely winner unless further wind surgery helps.
4
|PU| (4) Key Commander (6/1 -33%)
Key Commander

6
6/1(-33%)
(4) Key Commander 6/1, Ran creditably in a trio of chases for Mel Rowley last spring. Possibly needed run after 10-month absence when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, heavy) 27 days ago. Should be sharper now back over fences.
Returning from 310 days off when tailed off in a handicap hurdle at Warwick.

4/1(+0%)

(2) Desert Halo 17/2, 9/2, second of 12 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.6f, soft) on NH debut. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Declan Queally and should be involved if he's fully tuned up.

Dunstall Angel

40

(5) Dunstall Angel 40/1, Walk In The Park mare. Dam, lightly-raced maiden on Flat, sister to fairly useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Nacarat. Wears hood. From a good family and worthy of a market check.

(10) Rumoursareflying 5/4, Improved effort when fourth of 14 in 2m Huntingdon maiden last month. A repeat of that form should see him play a prominent role here.

Backbyjet

14/1(-56%)
(1) Backbyjet 14/1, Maiden pointer. Remote sixth in a Sedgefield bumper on Rules debut but left that behind when springing a 25/1 surprise in 19f Catterick novice hurdle on New Year's Day. That is ordinary form, though, and he was well beaten under a penalty back there last month.
0-9 in points; won on hurdles debut (2m3f, heavy) but that's modest form; well held latest.

Illico De Montave

11
11/1(+56%)
(6) Illico De Montave 11/1, Unplaced in sole point and modest form in 2 bumpers for Tom Weston before Christmas. Not an obvious one to strike on hurdle debut.
Second bumper for Tom Weston showed some ability and he's from a French jumping family.
2

Sea Grey

1.1
11/10(-175%)
(2) Sea Grey 11/10, Fairly useful performer on Flat who has taken well to hurdling for his new stable, finishing second at Doncaster before going one better with cheekpieces added (retained) at Catterick (2m, soft) just after Christmas. Should be more to come.
Fairly useful on Flat; asserted well in five-runner Catterick maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft).

Stick With Me Sam

Arctic Footprint

(5) Arctic Footprint 9/2, Had wind op (also tongue tied) before landing 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) in December. Proved to be a disappointment at Hereford (25.5f) a month ago but she's a player if bouncing back with yard continuing in good form.
Won easily on heavy at Ffos Las (2m4f); bred to stay well but did little over 3m2f on good.

Blinkers added; has an extra 1m for handicap debut and may be seen in a much better light.

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.
