---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (9/1 -20%) Iberico Lord |
9/1(-20%) | (6) Iberico Lord 9/1, Won a French bumper in May. Faded to finish a well-held sixth of 8 on his Cheltenham hurdle debut in November and was held when falling at Kempton in December. Still early days and he's had a wind op. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.1/1 +56%) Beau Balko |
1.1/1(+56%) | (2) Beau Balko 1.1/1, Successful on his sole Flat start in France and got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt when dictating at Hereford in November. Disappointing handicap debut but he cast that aside in no uncertain terms when adding to tally at Sandown in February. Likely has more to offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (2.75/1 -22%) Jupiter Du Gite |
2.75/1(-22%) | (9) Jupiter Du Gite 2.75/1, Caused a major upset when making all on British/hurdles debut at Newbury in December but proved far too free in a Triumph trial and the main rece itself at Cheltenham. Eases in class but backing him comes with clear risks attached. Hood off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6.5/1 +0%) Samuel Spade |
6.5/1(+0%) | (4) Samuel Spade 6.5/1, No more than a fair handicapper on the Flat but has quickly reached a higher level over hurdles, winning at Kempton and Huntingdon and a good second in a Class 2 event at Huntingdon in between. Jumping errors proved costly in a deeper environment at Cheltenham. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8.5/1 -42%) Alien Storm |
8.5/1(-42%) | (1) Alien Storm 8.5/1, Getaway gelding from good jumping family. Improved with each outing in bumpers and made a positive start over hurdles, successful at Plumpton in October and better form when second under a penalty at Kempton. Disappointing handicap debut needs shrugging off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (250/1 -67%) My Boy Grizzle |
250/1(-67%) | (7) My Boy Grizzle 250/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Supreme Huntress. Hooded and very strong in the betting in a Tipperary bumper in March 2021 but ultimately held back by inexperience. Left J. D. Motherway and almost certainly needed the run on last week's hurdles bow. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Four-year-old JUPITER DU GITE is very well treated at these weights and could bounce right back to form. He was hugely impressive on his UK/hurdling debut at Newbury in December and can be forgiven a couple of lacklustre performances in Graded company at Cheltenham since the turn of the year. Like the selection, Samuel Spade struggled at the Cheltenham Festival on his latest outing but much better is expected here, while six-length Sandown scorer Beau Balko must also enter calculations.
BEAU BALKO turned a Sandown handicap into a one-sided affair in February, and while conceding a penalty in a fairly competitive novice will be no easy task, he could well be up to the job. Jupiter du Gite has his share of talent but is clearly a very difficult ride and it remains to be seen whether the removal of a hood will help, so Alien Storm is feared most.
This looks a tricky puzzle but BEAU BALKO is probably best placed to take advantage if Jupiter Du Gite again proves too headstrong.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (25/1 -108%) Joly Maker |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Joly Maker 25/1, Reliable sort who returned from 3 months off when scoring over C&D last summer but others look better handicapped. Off 7 months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.88/1 +53%) Chanceux |
1.88/1(+53%) | (2) Chanceux 1.88/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who improved at first attempt over fences when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in December but hasn't kicked on both starts since, just respectable third of 4 in handicap chase at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft, 7/2) 35 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Feel The Pinch |
2.5/1(+38%) | (1) Feel The Pinch 2.5/1, Fair hurdler who made a successful switch to chasing at Bangor in November. In good form back hurdling since, adding to his tally there in good style on debut for this yard last week. Obvious claims back over fences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (3.33/1 -48%) The Grey Falco |
3.33/1(-48%) | (3) The Grey Falco 3.33/1, Won over hurdles at Haydock last winter. Largely struggled after but shaped better than being pulled up at Fontwell on second chase start/yard debut would imply and duly took a step back in the right direction when third at Southwell 12 days ago. Could be ready to strike now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Fakir |
4.5/1(+36%) | (5) Fakir 4.5/1, Back on track when landing a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.5f) on debut for this yard in September. Has found life tougher since but dangerous to discount off tumbling mark/first-time headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FEEL THE PINCH could give weight and a beating to these rivals. The nine-year-old was an impressive hurdles winner on his stable debut for Robbie Llewellyn at Bangor last week and, with a record of one from one in this sphere, everything points to another huge run. Fanzio is a two-time course scorer and was game in victory at Taunton last time. He has since left Richard Hobson to join Laura Hurley and must come into the reckoning, while The Grey Falco also holds claims.
THE GREY FALCO again caught the eye on his second start for this yard when third at Southwell 12 days ago, finishing with running left, and looks ready to take advantage of a career-low mark. Feel The Pinch won his only chase start at Bangor in November and has since made an impressive winning debut for this yard over hurdles there last week, so is the obvious threat.
It was better from THE GREY FALCO (nap) last time and he can make it third time lucky for the Ben Pauling yard.

1st (5) (3.5/1 +65%) Hokelami |
3.5/1(+65%) | (5) Hokelami 3.5/1, Has shown some promise, including when third of 7 in 19f Market Rasen handicap last time. Likely to be in the shake-up now dropping into a seller. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +43%) Captain Jack |
4/1(+43%) | (3) Captain Jack 4/1, Turned in his best effort of the season when third of 9 in 2m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago. Place claims again if in similar form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Ring The Moon |
7.5/1(+6%) | (2) Ring The Moon 7.5/1, Fifth career success when taking a Chepstow handicap hurdle 9 days ago but that form is only modest and he'll require more if he's to follow up in this non-handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (2.75/1 -83%) Weebill |
2.75/1(-83%) | (1) Weebill 2.75/1, Good record at selling/claiming level in recent times, including winning a 2m Fakenham claimer last month. The one to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (50/1 -52%) Kingston King |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Kingston King 50/1, Exposed as modest and easy to look elsewhere back hurdling after pulling up over fences last twice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Forecast |
2.75/1(+31%) | (4) Forecast 2.75/1, Three-time winner over hurdles in first spell for this yard and added to tally over fences for Dr Richard Newland during 2021. Yet to find his best form since rejoining this stable but this is a drop in grade. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WEEBILL is very capable at this sort of level (four from seven in claiming/selling company) and was always doing enough when successful at Fakenham last time. The veteran performer is two from three under Daire Davis and the pair could team up to record another win. Captain Jack went well under this jockey at Wetherby recently and he is likely to give another good account, while 33/1 Chepstow scorer Ring The Moon must also have a squeak.
WEEBILL looks good for a fifth win in his last 8 starts. The returning Malina Ocarina can give him most to think about ahead of the selection's stablemate Hokelami.
Captain Jack comes here in form and can go well but this looks another suitable opportunity for WEEBILL.

O'grady's Boy |
(11) (66/1 -32%)66/1(-32%) | (11) O'grady's Boy 66/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser at best but has gone the wrong way this season, showing temperament over hurdles on his first 2 starts of the campaign and pulled up both outings over fences since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (10) (5.5/1 +50%) Tiny Tantrum |
5.5/1(+50%) | (10) Tiny Tantrum 5.5/1, Fair maiden for Lucy Wadham last term but not at his best in 5 handicaps for new yard this winter. Mark is on the slide but still need to see more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (5.5/1 +54%) Richardson |
5.5/1(+54%) | (12) Richardson 5.5/1, Poor handicap hurdler who didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing second in the mud at Leicester in December. Fair fifth at Huntingdon since but more needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6.5/1 +74%) Gaia Vallis |
6.5/1(+74%) | (9) Gaia Vallis 6.5/1, Scored a couple of times last season but hasn't resumed in particularly good form this time round. Down in the weights but need to see more before considering her. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 +0%) Getbazoutofhere |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Getbazoutofhere 16/1, Modest form over hurdles so far and not even at that level both starts back from an absence in 2023. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (18/1 +64%) Sans Of Gold |
18/1(+64%) | (14) Sans Of Gold 18/1, Unplaced completed start in points and hasn't offered much over hurdles to date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (2.75/1 +54%) Perfect Man |
2.75/1(+54%) | (8) Perfect Man 2.75/1, Losing run stetches back to 2020 but he has a very lowly mark to exploit for new connections. Market may prove useful. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (3.2/1 +29%) Dedanser |
3.2/1(+29%) | (2) Dedanser 3.2/1, Ended last term with success at Bangor. Low-key start in handicaps but down in the weights and fitted with blinkers, he's hit the frame on his last 2 starts. This isn't a strong race so he's of serious interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (11/1 -83%) Propelled |
11/1(-83%) | (1) Propelled 11/1, Showed fair form on first of his 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (20.7f) on hurdling debut. After 9 months off, hasn't progressed in 3 starts this season, brushed aside on handicap debut a month ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (50/1 -178%) Amlovi |
50/1(-178%) | (13) Amlovi 50/1, Acquitted herself well back over hurdles last season, finishing a creditable third at Warwick on her final start of the campaign. Hasn't carried much of a threat both outings this term, though. 3 lb out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In an open event marginal preference is for DEDANSER, who has shown promise on his last couple of starts and is 2lb lower than when fourth at Ayr last time. Dellboy Trotter has strong form claims based on his second-placed finish at Fontwell in October. Lamanver Bel Ami has been off the track for over a year but should not be underestimated on his return to action.
DEDANSER seems to have found his level eased in the weights and, now fitted with blinkers and with this not a deep race despite the field size, this looks a good chance for him to double his career tally. Lamanver Bel Ami and Perfect Man have both moved yards since last seen and a handicapping case can be made for them, so the market may be revealing.
This could go to LAMANVER BEL AMI who has won on the last two occasions she has returned from a significant absence.

1st (6) (1.2/1 +56%) Dom Of Mary |
1.2/1(+56%) | (6) Dom Of Mary 1.2/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who produced his best effort yet over fences when failing by a whisker at Huntingdon (2½m) last month. Doesn't look entirely straightforward but stepping back up in trip here should be in his favour and he needs considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3.5/1 +36%) Go Steady |
3.5/1(+36%) | (5) Go Steady 3.5/1, Looked as good as ever when landing a C&D contest recently, pulling clear of the rest with a subsequent winner. 4 lb rise fair enough and another bold show could be on the way. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 +9%) Rakhine State |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Rakhine State 10/1, Three-time winner over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and gained first success for current yard in handicap at Worcester in summer 2021. Placed both runs in this sphere since returning from a lengthy absence in November but needs to sharpen up his jumping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Vision Des Flos |
3.33/1(+26%) | (2) Vision Des Flos 3.33/1, Scored over fences at Warwick in September and has remained in good form since, coping well with the drop back to 2m when runner-up at Chepstow last time. Return to this trip no bad thing and he's a live contender. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (10/1 +44%) Fire Away |
10/1(+44%) | (3) Fire Away 10/1, Built up good strike rate over hurdles/fences for this yard, doing well under the circumstances to add to his tally at Cartmel last May. However, below par thereafter and entitled to need this run following 8 months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A case can be made for most of these but none more so than DOM OF MARY, who was only beaten a nose over 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and is just 2lb higher in the ratings. The recent C&D winner Go Steady is an obvious threat to the selection, while Vision Des Flos and Quoi De Neuf also merit places on the shortlist.
This drop back in trip looks a good move for QUOI DE NEUF, who was seemingly outstayed by the winner when hitting the crossbar over a trip just shy of 3m at Ludlow last time. He remains on a workable mark and promises to be suited by this sharp track. Vision des Flos is holding his form admirably well and is second choice ahead of recent C&D winner Go Steady and Dom of Mary.
Soft ground would leave some with more to prove but should not be a problem for last month's C&D winner GO STEADY.

1st (9) (3.5/1 +36%) Westerninthepark |
3.5/1(+36%) | (9) Westerninthepark 3.5/1, Second in a point and filled the same position switched to Rules at Huntingdon last month. Likely to step forward from that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 +25%) Titan Discovery |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Titan Discovery 9/1, Pether's Moon gelding. Brother to useful dual bumper winner Lunar Discovery and made a positive start when second of 4 at Newbury first time out. Not discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.33/1 +52%) Lord Of Thunder |
3.33/1(+52%) | (5) Lord Of Thunder 3.33/1, Runner-up on his sole outing between the flags and was picked up for six figures subsequently, so potentially exciting prospect and demands plenty of respect on Rules bow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (100/1 +33%) My Monty |
100/1(+33%) | (7) My Monty 100/1, No show in two bumpers to date and others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.33/1 -77%) Banteer |
3.33/1(-77%) | (1) Banteer 3.33/1, Represents a stable enjoyed a good deal of success in bumpers this season and made a pleasing start when runner-up at Exeter. Should go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (66/1 -313%) Brockarno |
66/1(-313%) | (2) Brockarno 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, third of 6 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on NH debut 45 days ago. More required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (22/1 -10%) Harry Gulliver |
22/1(-10%) | (4) Harry Gulliver 22/1, Linda's Lad gelding. Dam modest 2m-21f hurdle winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Clifton Debut. Wears hood. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (28/1 +15%) Connolly |
28/1(+15%) | (3) Connolly 28/1, Related to a winner but there wasn't much encouragement to be gleaned from his debut at Chepstow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (3/1 +25%) Mount Etna |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Mount Etna 3/1, Runner-up sole start in points (Nov 27). Has joined a top trainer who often introduces some of his better types at this track, so worth chancing on Rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WESTERNINTHEPARK only found one too good on his Rules debut at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and the son of Walk In The Park could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. However, the likes of Banteer, Chevington and Titan Discovery have similar profiles and they should not be underestimated. Lord Of Thunder and Mount Etna both showed promise between the flags and are others to note.
MOUNT ETNA showed plenty of ability in a point and has joined Nicky Henderson since, so he's fancied to make a successful switch to Rules. Lord of Thunder fits a similar mould and ranks as the main danger, while Banteer is the pick of those with bumper form.
Six of these found only one too good last time. Pick of the bunch could be BANTEER who shaped well when favourite at Exeter.

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.
