(1)  (11/10 +45%)Scrum Diddly |
11/10(+45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scrum Diddly 11/10, Progressive over hurdles for Oliver Sherwood and built on his chase debut effort when second to a smart prospect at Ascot (23.8f) in November. Creditable third at Doncaster (3m) a month later and this looks a little less demanding. One to consider. Runner-up to Chianti Classico at Ascot (3m good) in November; likely positive role to play. |
|||
(2)  (5/2 +17%)Broomfields Cave |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Broomfields Cave 5/2, Dual point winner who doubled his hurdles tally at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in October and picked up where he left off when runner-up at Plumpton (25f) in April. No reason why he won't make his mark now tackling larger obstacles and interesting if market vibes are positive. Productive over hurdles last year, scoring here (3m) & at Uttoxeter (2m7f); chase debut.. |
|||
(3)  (7/2 +22%)Cedar Row |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cedar Row 7/2, Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers and confirmed previous hurdles promise when making a winning handicap debut at Warwick (21f, soft) 14 months ago. Entitled to have needed first start since at Exeter in February. Chase debut. Warwick hurdles winner (2m5f); bred for fences, so could leave Exeter comeback run behind.. |
|||
(4)  (11/1 -69%)Not At Present |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Not At Present 11/1, Four-time hurdles winner who put in a good shift from the front when third in a 5-runner Doncaster handicap chase (3m, soft) in March. Subsequent Huntingdon effort (pulled up) was disappointing though and he needs to leave that well behind to figure. Has shown ability over fences; latest effort was inexplicably poor though; best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Scrum Diddly has performed with credit on each of his starts over the larger obstacles and he looks a serious contender now eased in class, but a chance is taken on CEDAR ROW. The son of Westerner was a mixed bag over timber, but chasing should be more his game and this is not the deepest of contests in which to score. Fellow chasing debutant Broomfields Cave, a two-time winner in the point-to-point scene, is also noted.
SCRUM DIDDLY twice ran well in what appeal as stronger contests over fences late last year, and with the possibility of more to come in this sphere on the back of just 3 starts, he earns the vote to come out on top following 5 months off. Broomfields Cave has progressed steadily over hurdles and he's feared now tackling larger obstacles, with Cedar Row another to keep an eye on.
With rain forecast the tentative suggestion is to overlook the form pick Scrum Diddly and side with the chasing debutant CEDAR ROW.

(2)  (6/5 +36%)In This World |
6/5(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) In This World 6/5, Flat/hurdles winner in 2021 and immediately improved for the switch to fences when second of 5 at Warwick a fortnight ago. Expected to improve on that so he's a major player. Closing in fast on bang-in-form winner on recent Warwick chasing debut (2m); major player.. |
|||
(1)  (6/4 +63%)Parc D'amour |
6/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Parc D'amour 6/4, Bumper winner who gained a deserved success over hurdles in 12-runner Huntingdon handicap in November. Excellent second back there last month and he's in the right hands now chasing. Huntingdon regular; fast-finishing runner-up over hurdles latest; all set for chase debut.. |
|||
(6)  (10/3 +5%)Lipa K |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lipa K 10/3, Was performing with credit when falling late over hurdles on final start for Evan Williams in December. Overcame mistakes when making successful chase/stable debut at Bangor but he'll need to jump better to follow up here. Made a winning start over fences at Bangor (2m1f; on stable debut); 6lb higher mark here.. |
|||
(3)  (5/1 +44%)Glencassley |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glencassley 5/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and landed back-to-back novice events in 2021. Lightly raced since but made a successful debut over fences in 4-runner handicap at Hereford (20.9f, soft) in March, jumping well. Matched that form at Huntingdon since and cheekpieces now go on. Made all on chasing debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in March; cheekpieces applied.. |
|||
(7)  (11/1 +50%)Brook Bay |
11/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Brook Bay 11/1, Expensive purchase from points who showed plenty of promise when placed in maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn. Unable to continue the good work since but every chance he improves for the switch to the larger obstacles. Capable hurdler (novice); pulled up the last twice (bled latest); risky on chase debut.. |
|||
(5)  (14/1 +36%)Sea Prince |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sea Prince 14/1, Wide-margin winner at Stratford (17f) on third chase start in 2022 but ended last year with a brace of tame efforts. Record fresh is encouraging, though. Runner-up last year before losing his way; has done all of his winning on good ground.. |
|||
(4)  (14/1 -133%)Only Money |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Only Money 14/1, Bumper/4-time winner over fences (at around 2m) but restricted to just 3 runs in 2023 and he was disappointing. Eased in the weights and represents a yard in fine form. Unseated rider early at Worcester last September; back to last winning mark; fitness risk?. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IN THIS WORLD bumped into a progressive rival at Warwick on his first start over fences earlier this month and natural improvement can see Dan Skelton's charge make amends to go one better. Lipa K made no mistake on his fencing bow at Bangor last month and he is a leading candidate from 6lb higher. Glencassley may benefit from the addition of first-time cheekpieces.
IN THIS WORLD left his hurdles form behind at the first attempt over fences when runner-up at Warwick a fortnight ago, and with the promise of more to come, he'll take some stopping. Parc d'Amour arrives on the up over hurdles, while Brook Bay wasn't as good over timber but, given his point background, could easily up his game now chasing.
The likeliest winner is Dan Skelton's IN THIS WORLD (nap). The 6yo chased home a bang-in-form rival at Warwick last time.

(7)  (1/2 +71%)Patch Man |
1/2(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Patch Man 1/2, Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related to smart 2m hurdle winner Sir Erec and half-brother to 2 winners on Flat. Dam unraced. Represents shrewd Flat stable and may take the beating if strong in the betting. 100,000euros foal; closely related to smart Sir Erec; one to note for Sir Mark Prescott.. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 +11%)Guchen |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Guchen 4/1, Cima De Triomphe gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat in France, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (winner around 2m) Sil Ver Klass. One to take seriously on debut. First foal from a French maiden (placed 1m4f); trainer 14% bumper strike-rate (last 5yrs).. |
|||
(6)  (7/1 -56%)Masterkey |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Masterkey 7/1, Cheap Cracksman gelding who showed something to work on when third at Sedgefield on debut 12 days ago. Could strip fitter for that, so he's no forlorn hope. Son of Cracksman; made pleasing debut at Sedgefield (third) under a fortnight ago; chance.. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 -125%)Luwdvig |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Luwdvig 9/1, Built on mild debut promise when runner-up at Warwick last month and there could be another step forward in him, so he's worthy of consideration with an experience edge over most. Competitive when a keeping-on third at Warwick (2m; 28-1) recently; step forward possible.. |
|||
(1)  (11/1 +8%)Bold Recruit |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bold Recruit 11/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Shanwalla. Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Berties Dream. Maiden pointer, runner-up last time (Mar 2). Runner-up at Tyrella (3m point) in March; rules/bumper debut for Billy Aprahamian.. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 +40%)The Beekeeper |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Beekeeper 12/1, Scorpion gelding. Dam, ran once in bumper, half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) De Soto and useful bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Caledonia. Second foal of half-sister to 2 useful winners; trainer 8% bumper strike-rate (last 5yrs).. |
|||
(8)  (22/1 +21%)Stone's Throw |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stone's Throw 22/1, £6,000 3-y-o, Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h87), placed in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Magic Money. Cost £6,000 as a 3yo; third foal from a sister to a 2m5f chase winner; others preferred.. |
|||
(9)  (28/1 +30%)Formel Park |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Formel Park 28/1, Related to 4 winners but offered very little at Newbury on debut a couple of months ago. Well beaten on debut in the valuable Goffs Spring Sale Bumper at Newbury (150-1).. |
|||
(2)  (100/1 -100%)Dontuforgetaboutme |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dontuforgetaboutme 100/1, Scorpion gelding. Dam (h96), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to smart hurdler (stayed 21f) Mister Hight. Sixth foal from a sister to the useful 1m-1m2f Flat/2m hurdle winner Mister Hight.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It's not often that Sir Mark Prescott has a runner in this sphere, but he has enjoyed success when doing so in the last five years (4-10) and PATCH MAN is taken to enhance that record further. The son of Walk In The Park, a three-parts brother of the smart dual-purpose performer Sir Erec, makes plenty of appeal on paper and would not need to be anything out of the ordinary himself to land this. Masterkey shaped with promise on his racecourse bow, finishing third at Sedgefield 12 days ago, and that effort sets the form standard. Guchen is another to consider.
PATCH MAN is related to a smart hurdler and with an excellent Flat yard, so he's really appealing on bumper debut. Fellow newcomer Guchen is also appealing for a trainer that knows how to get one ready and Luwdvig is the best of those with experience.
Strong market support for PATCH MAN could be worth heeding with Sir Mark Prescott a force to be reckoned with in bumpers.

(5)  (1/2 +82%)She's My Shadow |
1/2(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) She's My Shadow 1/2, Placed on the last of 3 starts in points back in 2022. Promising return to action when runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles at Chepstow (2m/19.5f) and she's likely to play a prominent role again here. Two promising hurdle runs at 2m and 2m3f since back from absence; major contender. |
|||
(4)  (4/1 +38%)Parkin Fine |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Parkin Fine 4/1, Promising return from a long absence when second on 2m Huntingdon hurdle debut (good to soft) in November. Not in the same on softer ground since (beaten 25 lengths when second at Catterick in December) and needs a return to a sounder surface to spark a return to form. Possibilities on bumper and hurdle debut form; well held on soft; good ground helpful. |
|||
(9)  (9/2 -13%)Molly Mischief |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Molly Mischief 9/2, Progressive in AW Flat handicaps here this year, winning convincingly over 11f last month. Should be able to make an impact in a race like this if taking to her new discipline. Impressive AW Flat winner latest (1m3f); no strong jumps pedigree but she's of interest. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +17%)Kate Of The Lodge |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kate Of The Lodge 5/1, £50,000 but after easily getting off the mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 31). Betting interesting for a stable which has tasted success in this race before. Won Irish point; sold £50,000 since; bred to stay further than 2m; check the market. |
|||
(10)  (10/1 +29%)Value Added |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Value Added 10/1, Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner for Richard Hughes. 5/1, showed some aptitude for hurdling when fifth of 12 in Stratford maiden (2m, good to soft) last month. Should improve. Won 1m1f AW novice for previous yard; faded on hurdle debut; handicaps more likely. |
|||
(8)  (14/1 -17%)Dame Sarra |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dame Sarra 14/1, Modest winner at up to 1¾m on the Flat for Ed Dunlop. 16/1, ran to a similar level when 15 lengths second on Warwick hurdle debut for new yard 16 days ago. Two AW wins in 2023 (1m4f/1m6f); runner-up on hurdle debut; minor form but should improve. |
|||
(7)  (14/1 -56%)Woolberry |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Woolberry 14/1, Out of a bumper winner and finished placed herself in that sphere in October. Found listed company all too much at Doncaster and this a more realistic assignment now hurdling. Well below best in Listed bumper before Christmas; promising previously; hurdle debut. |
|||
(6)  (20/1 +39%)Silent Auction |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Silent Auction 20/1, Out of a bumper winner and reached the frame twice in that sphere last season. Didn't offer much when well held on Stratford hurdle debut last month, though. Has a tongue strap reached for on the back of that. Close up in ordinary bumpers but well held on hurdle debut and now tongue tied. |
|||
(3)  (80/1 -60%)Lune Et Retour |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lune Et Retour 80/1, From quite a good family but well held in 2 bumpers and a C&D maiden hurdle so far. Minor bumper form and beat only one home in 12-runner maiden hurdle last month. |
|||
(1)  (150/1 -20%)Conniegetaway |
150/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Conniegetaway 150/1, Modest form shown in 3 bumpers and well held when completing for the first time over hurdles here 15 days ago. Signs of ability in a bumper here; can't be fancied on her three hurdle starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SHE'S MY SHADOW made a pleasing start to life under Rules when finishing second behind a subsequent Listed winner over this trip on her penultimate start at Chepstow. After hitting the crossbar over an extended 2m3f at the same venue most recently, she gets the tentative vote to go one place better in what looks a competitive affair. Point-to-point winner Kate Of The Lodge is of major interest on her debut in this sphere, while Parkin Fine posted some solid efforts in defeat last winter and she cannot be discounted for her top connections.
SHE'S MY SHADOW gets the nod after 2 good runner-up efforts at Chepstow last month, although a strong market move for Evan Williams Irish point recruit Kate of The Lodge would put a slightly different slant on things. Molly Mischief won easily on the Flat here last month and could also have a part to play if taking to hurdling.
It is intriguing to see MOLLY MISCHIEF switched to hurdles after her impressive AW win and she is preferred for her in-form yard.

(4)  (4/7 +37%)Hard As Nails |
4/7(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hard As Nails 4/7, Dual bumper winner who has been placed in mares' maiden/novice events over hurdles 10 months apart. Capable of better and leading claims here. Kelso bumper winner; solid effort (runner-up) at Stratford (2m); sets the benchmark.. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 +27%)Fashionelle |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fashionelle 4/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers in 2023. Off 12 months, beaten just under 20 lengths when sixth of 11 on Market Rasen hurdle debut at the end of March. May come on for the run. Hard As Nails looks the yard first string but this one could still have a . Runner-up in two bumpers; entitled to improve from opening Market Rasen hurdles effort.. |
|||
(6)  (8/1 +0%)The Last Drop |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Last Drop 8/1, Modest form in bumpers, including when second in Ireland. Shaped as if in need of experience when fourth of 9 on 2m Warwick hurdle debut 16 days ago. May do better. Runner-up in a Tramore bumper (2m); about 18l fourth of nine on hurdles debut at Warwick. |
|||
(7)  (9/1 -29%)Trudie Glen |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Trudie Glen 9/1, Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper last May. Not in the same form when last of 54 in a Catterick bumper 6 months later but she retains potential switching to hurdles after another break. Placed in a Ludlow bumper; interesting to assess level of market support on hurdles debut.. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 +0%)Darting Rose |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Darting Rose 12/1, From a family connections know well but she's achieved only modest form in bumpers/over hurdles to date. Others are preferred. Bit better on recent return to action over C&D (sixth, beaten 15l); could strip fitter.. |
|||
(1)  (22/1 -57%)Annie Don |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Annie Don 22/1, Yeats mare who was runner-up on third of 3 starts in Irish points (Mar 2). 12/1, well held in a course bumper for new connections 15 days ago. Can only watch now hurdling. Runner-up in an Irish point (third run); too free on stable/bumper debut; hurdles now.. |
|||
(8)  (80/1 -142%)Kuma Beach |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kuma Beach 80/1, Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle here this spring. Eighth in a C&D maiden (150-1) last week offers a building block. |
|||
(5)  (100/1 +0%)Misting |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Misting 100/1, Little promise in bumpers to end 2023 and only modest form in 2 hurdles this spring. Beaten combined total of 74l in two attempts (Warwick & Uttoxeter; 2m-2m4f) over hurdles.. |
|||
(9)  (150/1 -50%)Low Tolerance |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Low Tolerance 150/1, Big prices and no show in a Wetrherby bumper and Hexham juvenile hurdle on heavy ground this spring. Will need to be transformed by this switch to a quicker surface. Pulled up at 200-1 on hurdles debut at Hexham; safer to look elsewhere.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HARD AS NAILS looks to set the standard in this contest and she is hard to oppose on current form. Fergal O'Brien's charge finished runner-up in a similar contest at Stratford last month, and this two-time bumper winner can earn herself a breakthrough win over timber. Trudie Glen ran with plenty of credit on her bumper debut last spring prior to disappointing when last of four at Catterick in November, but better can be expected on her hurdling bow. Annie Don was too keen for her own good on her Rules debut recently and she can't be overlooked lightly provided she settles better.
There looks to be less depth to the second division of this mares' maiden and it looks a good chance for HARD AS NAILS to make it third time lucky over hurdles. Dan Skelton's Trudie Glen more than hinted at promise in bumpers and is second choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Fashionelle.
Fergal O'Brien's HARD AS NAILS posted a solid effort (runner-up) at Stratford. A replication of that form ought to prove good enough.

(5)  (5/4 +58%)Knacker Trapper |
5/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Knacker Trapper 5/4, Left previous efforts well behind when landing a 12-runner C&D handicap hurdle (17/2, good to soft) under this claimer 8 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that success and should make his presence felt. Off the mark in style over C&D (good; 31l winner) last week; escapes a penalty here.. |
|||
(4)  (2/1 +11%)Jaxonne |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jaxonne 2/1, Landed a gamble in dominant fashion when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm, 9/4) 10 days ago. Certain to improve further and sets a high standard under a penalty. Bolted up at Ludlow (2m5f) last week; probably well in under a 7lb penalty; rain the risk.. |

13/2(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Huit Reflets 13/2, Ex-Irish gelding returned to form on his second start for the yard when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago. Place claims back up in trip. 19-race maiden; made the frame on both starts for Mark Walford; others better handicapped?. |

Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut from workable mark. Fourth in a 2m maiden here (good) a fortnight ago; extra yardage helpful; handicap debut.. |
|||
(3)  (17/2 +6%)Zoran |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Zoran 17/2, Struck at the second time of asking over fences in 2½m Worcester handicap last summer but didn't particularly kick on in 2 following starts over fences. Interesting back hurdling after a good effort on the Flat last month. Runner-up on the AW at Kempton (2m) last month; place possible on return to hurdles (0-8).. |

(12)  (12/1 +57%)Eric Carmen |
12/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Eric Carmen 12/1, Ran better than for a while when 14¼ lengths fifth of 10 to My Virtue in novice event at Southwell last time but overall profile remains unconvincing and it's easy to look elsewhere. 0-17 rules; took a step back in a positive direction here (2m) recently; others preferred.. |
|||
(8)  (14/1 -115%)The Dark Edge |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Dark Edge 14/1, Took a marked step forward on his handicap debut when runner-up in an 11-runner race at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 27 days ago. Respected from 2 lb higher mark. Runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon; raised 2lb; further progress is possible.. |
|||
(1)  (18/1 +10%)Blazing Court |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blazing Court 18/1, Produced his best effort when ½-length second of 11 to Sir Canford in novice handicap at Uttoxeter last summer. Ran no sort with race when pulled up on his return over C&D last time and has plenty to prove on the back of that effort. Maiden (0-9); pulled up over C&D (good; 16-1, lost a shoe) four weeks ago; risky enough.. |
|||
(10)  (18/1 +28%)We Gotta Getaway |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) We Gotta Getaway 18/1, Fair form on the second of 2 starts in bumpers, but no better than mid-division in a trio of novice hurdles last season for Fergal O'Brien. Shaped as needing after 11 months off in December and is best watched again after a further 5-month absence. Six-race maiden; mistakes when only seventh of nine at Musselburgh (2m4f) last December.. |
|||
(11)  (25/1 +24%)Rafferty |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Rafferty 25/1, Fair chaser at best, winning twice in 2021/22. Lightly raced and disappointing since, though, and is hard to fancy again. Well beaten in three starts this year; dropping rapidly down the handicap; best watched.. |
|||
(13)  (50/1 +24%)Etoile Brillante |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Etoile Brillante 50/1, No sign of ability in 3 bumpers and well held all 4 starts over hurdles. Off 9 months having left Alexandra Dunn. 3lb out of the handicap on first start for Michael Wigham; an unlikely candidate.. |
|||
(2)  (80/1 -142%)Indian Sunbird |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Indian Sunbird 80/1, Produced one his better efforts over timber when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good) but he'll need to defy more to defy this mark pitched back into a handicap after 7 months off. Maiden (0-10); off since October when fifth of ten at Wetherby (2m3f, good; beaten 23l).. |
|||
(7)  (100/1 -100%)Luckie Money |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Luckie Money 100/1, Just poor form in 4 starts over hurdles for Donald McCain, pulled up on her handicap bow at Doncaster when last seen 6 months ago. Difficult to fancy. Disappointing in her last two starts and has left Donald McCain. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The combination of an 81-day break and quicker ground conditions saw Jaxonne romping home at Ludlow recently. Although a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the five-year-old, last week's unpunished C&D winner KNACKER TRAPPER may prove too strong. Andrew Crook's gelding came home in splendid isolation in a conditional jockeys' event and the quick turnaround looks a good move before his revised mark kicks in. The Dark Edge should have more to come in handicap company and completes the shortlist.
Hard to get away from last-time-out winners JAXONNE and Knacker Trapper, with narrow preference for the O'Neill-trained gelding, who was hard held when scoring at Ludlow last week. Handicap-newcomer Hiero Sport can complete the placings.
Rain is a concern but Knacker Trapper and JAXONNE are well in front of the handicapper before being reassessed.

11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Call Me Arthur 11/4, Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards now his stamina is unlocked more. Close at Exeter and Ffos Las; up 3lb but seriously considered on first attempt at 3m+.. |

(9)  (3/1 +45%)Everyonesacritic |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Everyonesacritic 3/1, Made a successful handicap debut with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in February. However, he has failed to reproduce that form in 3 subsequent starts and others make more appeal for win purposes. Won in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (2m4f); not dismissed stepping up to 3m+.. |

(2)  (9/2 +78%)Kapamazov |
9/2(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kapamazov 9/2, Fair maiden who failed to see his race out having raced freely when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.5f) 32 days ago. Goes up further in trip now and not out of things provided he settles better. Failed to build on fair Hereford effort (2m) at Bangor (2m3f); now 2lb lower over 3m+.. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 +70%)J'habite En France |
6/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) J'habite En France 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in only tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Up in trip with more needed. Fell on hurdles debut at Huntingdon (2m3f) last October; modest since; easing mark. |
|||
(8)  (13/2 +68%)Larkfield Lusive |
13/2(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Larkfield Lusive 13/2, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland who ran creditably both starts for this yard in that sphere. Only eighth on his chasing bow here since so needs to bounce back. Placed over 2m4f here in April; struggled over fences latest; worth another go over 3m.. |
|||
(10)  (8/1 -14%)Endofconversation |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Endofconversation 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler but he posted a very good sixth of 11 in handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 27 days ago. Up in trip. No forlorn hope. Lightly raced; eyecatcher at Huntingdon (sixth) latest; stable going well; player at 3m+.. |
|||
(1)  (9/1 +10%)Lepashe |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lepashe 9/1, Point winner who has shown fair form at best over hurdles, fourth of 14 in 25f Warwick handicap 16 days ago. Possibilities. Still seeking first rules win (0-11); never-nearer fourth of 14 at Warwick (3m1f) latest.. |
|||
(12)  (10/1 -150%)Karakoram |
10/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Karakoram 10/1, Thirteen runs since his last win in 2023 but he recorded a good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly off a 3 lb lower mark. Competitively handicapped; best recent effort when placed at Ludlow (2m5f); possibilities.. |
|||

10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fine By Me 10/1, Bangor hurdles winner who ran well there on his return in August but step backwards at Fontwell and Hereford since. Has something to prove. Bangor winner (2m7f) in summer of 2022; tongue-tie removed on first start since October.. |

14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Milanese Rose 14/1, Remains a maiden after 18 runs.

Needs to hit the ground running. Warwick winner (3m1f) last May; pulled up over fences at Taunton in November; off since.. |
|||
(6)  (16/1 +76%)Lord Getaway |
16/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lord Getaway 16/1, Twenty one runs since his last win in 2018 and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 74 days ago, Hard to warm to. Veteran stablemate of Kapamazov; long absence before pulling up at Hereford n March.. |
|||
(11)  (40/1 -21%)Stripe Of Honour |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Stripe Of Honour 40/1, Returned from 7 months off to win at Worcester last May. Lost his way subsequently but is back on a good mark if staging a revival after a 10-month absence. Unpredictable; struggling when last in competitive action and is 0-6 at Southwell overall.. |
|||
(14)  (40/1 +39%)Robeam |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Robeam 40/1, C&D winner but it's now 19 runs since his last win in 2022 and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 74 days ago. Since had a wind op but others are more persuasive. C&D winner (May 2022); poor form in recent times; hopes pinned on the wind surgery. |
|||
(15)  (66/1 +34%)Wherewouldugetit |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Wherewouldugetit 66/1, Off 25 months before coming in last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Blinkers go on for 1st time now with lots to prove. Tailed off at Market Rasen on return from a mammoth absence; headgear switch; unlikely.. |

80/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Madra Morjohn 80/1, Has made no impact over hurdles, pulled up on his handicap debut at Fakenham 15 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere. Pulled up in two of four attempts over hurdles, including handicap debut; hard to fancy.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CALL ME ARTHUR returned to form with a never-nearer second over 2m4f at Ffos Las last month and this step up in trip over an extended 3m looks ideal. Tom Lacey's charge should relish this emphasis on stamina and is taken to make light work of a 3lb rise. Karakoram is also likely to prove popular now 3lb lower than his staying-on third at Ludlow recently. The nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of Lepashe, who continues to creep down the handicap.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and CALL ME ARTHUR looks the way to go on the back of his very good Ffos Las second with this longer trip also a positive. Kapamazov is another who gives the impression he will benefit from this trip and feared most, although Karakoram, Endofconversation and Lepashe all need factoring in too.
The suggestion is the Huntingdon eyecatcher ENDOFCONVERSATION, who could take another step forward for tackling this longer trip.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
