---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (13/2 -44%) Dusky Days |
13/2(-44%) | (2) Dusky Days 13/2, Winless since debut in a bumper. Good third at Hereford (16f, good) on debut over fences in November but ran poorly at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Might have been amiss that day given his absence since so could well bounce back. Good third on chase debut in November; absent since very poor run on Boxing Day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +11%) Barest Of Margins |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Barest Of Margins 4/1, Made an encouraging start to his chasing career in 2022, finishing runner-up on all 3 completed outings, and ran to a similar level back from 19 months off for new yard when third of 11 in handicap chase at Taunton (16f, soft, 15/2). Might have found next run coming too soon so worth another chance. Good third on last month's stable debut but dropped out tamely a fortnight later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (3/1 +40%) Theonlywayiswessex |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Theonlywayiswessex 3/1, Dual AW Flat winner for this yard who went close at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago. Lightly raced over hurdles and posted a good second at Bangor in September. Didn't look a natural tried over fences at Plumpton following month, however. Not bred for fences but ran quite well on slower-than-ideal ground on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 +18%) Phoenix Risen |
9/2(+18%) | (1) Phoenix Risen 9/2, Scored twice over hurdles last spring and stepped up on his comeback run when fifth of 16 at Taunton last month. Not bred for chasing but can make his presence felt if taking to it at the first attempt. Looked back in good nick over hurdles last month; makes chasing debut from workable mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (40/1 +20%) Invincible Wish |
40/1(+20%) | (9) Invincible Wish 40/1, Veteran who went close at Stratford in June 2022 but he hasn't made much of an impact in 3 starts since returning from 18 months off in January. 6 lb out of the weights. Went close over C&D last June but soundly beaten all four subsequent appearances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (50/1 -100%) Boom Boom |
50/1(-100%) | (6) Boom Boom 50/1, Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Wincanton last April but he has shown little since, including on debut for this yard last time. Made poor start to chase career for Nicky Henderson and was pulled up on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/2 -27%) Dunstall Rambler |
7/2(-27%) | (5) Dunstall Rambler 7/2, Just modest form at best over hurdles but would have gone close to making a winning chase bow at Huntingdon (16.5f) but for falling at the last. Backed that up when second at Exeter last month and he's a player. Began chasing career with two good efforts towards end of last season; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -60%) Theoule |
80/1(-60%) | (10) Theoule 80/1, Showed ability on the first of his 2 outings on the Flat for Martyn Meade but has offered nothing over jumps. 10 lb out of handicap. Struggled when 33-1 for chase/handicap debut two years ago and not seen since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (28/1 -40%) Barley Breeze |
28/1(-40%) | (8) Barley Breeze 28/1, Some form in bumpers but has shown very little over obstacles, including for this yard last time. Pulled up over hurdles on recent stable debut; considered only if lively in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (10/1 -122%) Smurfette |
10/1(-122%) | (4) Smurfette 10/1, Placed in mares' bumper/novice hurdle but disappointed switched to handicaps last 2 starts. Now goes chasing. In good hands and lightly raced but was safely held in both handicap hurdles this spring. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Tom George's DUNSTALL RAMBLER made a promising start to his chasing career at the end of last season and can open his account.

1st (3) (6/1 -50%) Saint Bibiana |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Saint Bibiana 6/1, Arrives in good nick, shaping as though a stiffer test would suit when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) last month. That form looks decent and she has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark with this step up in distance looking the right move. 0-5 over hurdles but placed in two 2m4f handicaps last month; tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +20%) Bridget Mary |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Bridget Mary 4/1, £75,000 buy after winning a point. Patchy and just poor form over hurdles so far, her best performance coming with positive tactics employed at Ludlow. Upped further in trip. Fourth on both outings last month (2m5f/3m) and may still have a bigger run in her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/2 +31%) Newmill Getaway |
9/2(+31%) | (8) Newmill Getaway 9/2, Fair winner in bumpers with some promising runs over hurdles to her name, although poor at Fontwell latest having been well backed. Goes up markedly in trip now. Only fifth of ten when well supported at Fontwell this month; moves up from 2m3f today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (18/1 -29%) Rubys Reward |
18/1(-29%) | (10) Rubys Reward 18/1, Winner over 23f at Worcester in July and runner-up back there in August/September. She might need this after 6 months off. Won last summer but had gone off the boil by the autumn; back from seven-month break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -60%) Auditoria |
16/1(-60%) | (2) Auditoria 16/1, Didn't complete twice after her second over fences at Fontwell (19.5f) in October and bit to prove after another 4 months off on return to hurdling. Failed to complete last two chases; now back hurdling for first time since 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 -38%) Little Talks |
11/1(-38%) | (6) Little Talks 11/1, Stopped the slide by the end at Fakenham a fortnight ago, running on late. This much longer trip will suit (placed over 3m at Doncaster in January under this rider). One to consider. Disappointing mare who didn't achieve a great deal when remote second in a recent maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (6/1 -50%) Harkangel |
6/1(-50%) | (7) Harkangel 6/1, Yard in good form and she struck in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap after 12 weeks off in similar 3m event at Taunton last month. Could feature again up 7 lb. Caused 33-1 surprise when fitted with today's headgear combination last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (22/1 +33%) Camilla's Choice |
22/1(+33%) | (4) Camilla's Choice 22/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f) in August. However, very disappointing in 3 starts since. Well beaten on all three appearances since last summer's ready win at Bangor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (7/1 +30%) Houston Calling |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Houston Calling 7/1, Claims on her Stratford second in the mud in March but was poor at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago. Upped in trip now. Second off this mark over 2m6f here in March but has disappointed this month; new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (20/1 -100%) Lily Glitters |
20/1(-100%) | (1) Lily Glitters 20/1, Four-time winner in staying handicap hurdles and matched that level at the second attempt over fences when runner-up on return in October. Poor since though, pulled up after 4 months off/wind op at Bangor 4 weeks ago (reportedly had a breathing problem). Visor back on upped markedly in trip. Pulled up last month, after a break, but this trip-and-ground combination will suit better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (17/2 +6%) Joyful Kit |
17/2(+6%) | (11) Joyful Kit 17/2, Long-standing maiden who typically gives her running. Likely to give it another good go while proving vulnerable. 0-19 over hurdles but largely consistent since the autumn and has conditions to suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
After beginning her handicap career with two good efforts over 2m4f, SAINT BIBIANA is open to improvement over this new trip.

1st (3) (4/1 -45%) The Boola Boss |
4/1(-45%) | (3) The Boola Boss 4/1, Dual chaser winner who returned from a 9-month break to finish a good second at Chepstow (19.5f) 36 days ago. Contender from an unchanged mark. Dual 2m7f chase winner last year and returned from layoff with pleasing run last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +36%) Petty Cash |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Petty Cash 9/2, A hurdler on the up in spring 2022 but fell both starts over fences during 2022/23 campaign. Showed he retains ability on second outing back from a long absence when third in Hereford handicap hurdle last month but comes with risks attached back chasing. Didn't run badly over hurdles last month but fell in both previous chases; too risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -13%) Lelant |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Lelant 9/1, Fair form over hurdles and should be better for last month's first experience of chasing at Ffos Las. The tongue tie worn on that occasion is retained. On a workable mark but made low-key chasing debut last month; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/4 +25%) Deerstalker |
9/4(+25%) | (4) Deerstalker 9/4, Stuck in the mud on handicap hurdle debut but more likely it faced with a sounder surface (also tongue tied) when narrowly denied in an 18.5f course handicap last month. Switches to fences now (would have won a point at start of career but for a late fall). Unexposed 6yo; went close over hurdles here last month; upped in trip for chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (5/1 -43%) School Days Over |
5/1(-43%) | (1) School Days Over 5/1, Perfect start over fences when seeing off 6 rivals at Hereford (21f, good )in November. Below par next 2 starts but took a step back in the right direction with cheekpieces added (retained) when fourth of 9 at Ludlow (3m) 25 days ago. Won on chase debut in November and ran well in first-time cheekpieces last month; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (5/1 -50%) Golden De Coeur |
5/1(-50%) | (2) Golden De Coeur 5/1, Fair form over hurdles. Interesting now switching to fences for his handicap debut with the yard among the winners. Dual point winner; made the frame in five maiden hurdles last season; chase/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The suggestion is THE BOOLA BOSS (nap), who took well to chasing in the early part of last season and made a pleasing return in April.

1st (4) (2/7 +53%) Minella Rescue |
2/7(+53%) | (4) Minella Rescue 2/7, Dual bumper winner who has made an encouraging start over hurdles, posting a very good third of 7 in novice at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 32 days ago. Big player with this longer trip also a likely plus. Ran on well for third in strong 2m4f Cheltenham novice last month; good chance here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 -99%) Huelgoat |
11/4(-99%) | (3) Huelgoat 11/4, Notched his fifth success over fences at Wincanton (2½m) in November. Little to shout about in 3 subsequent starts, though, including when returning from a 13-week break at Plumpton last month. Leading form claims if back on song now reverted to hurdles. Useful chaser (five wins); flopped badly last month; dangerous if back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (100/1 -300%) High Joker |
100/1(-300%) | (2) High Joker 100/1, 17/2, ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good) on his belated debut 23 days ago. Goes up in trip with cheekpieces added and this Mountain High gelding needs to take a big step forward. Well beaten in uncompetitive 2m maiden on recent debut; up in trip with headgear on here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (28/1 -12%) Carnet De Stage |
28/1(-12%) | (1) Carnet De Stage 28/1, Poor ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who came in only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Tramore (22.8f, heavy) 139 days ago on his final run for Eugene O'Sullivan. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. Had 1-45 strike-rate under all codes when trained in Ireland; best watched on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (100/1 +0%) Kadarra |
100/1(+0%) | (5) Kadarra 100/1, 150/1, fell heavily first in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Fell at first flight when 150-1 for last month's debut at Chepstow. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This looks good for MINELLA RESCUE, who drops in grade after a very creditable third at Cheltenham last month.

1st (6) (11/4 +77%) Fancy Stuff |
11/4(+77%) | (6) Fancy Stuff 11/4, Bumper winner who failed to progress over jumps for Dan Skelton. Good start for new yard when third over fences at Ludlow (20f) in December but hasn't gone on from that, albeit left poorly placed back hurdling at Ludlow last time. Lurks on a dangerous mark. Placed on stable debut in December but subsequent form has been underwhelming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (22/1 +67%) The Gambler |
22/1(+67%) | (9) The Gambler 22/1, Irish point winner last April. Also made a successful start under Rules in a Market Rasen bumper but has struggled since, including switched to chasing on her last 2 starts. Best watched. Struggled in first two handicap chases and is 8lb wrong here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 -80%) Goodtimecrew |
6/1(-80%) | (1) Goodtimecrew 6/1, Fair bumper winner who ran to a similar level when finding only one too good first 2 starts in maiden hurdles in November. After a lesser effort, back on track when fourth of 16 at Chepstow (19.4f) last month and she's respected as she makes handicap/chase debut. Quite promising in novice hurdles last season; switched to fences for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 -87%) Admiral's Sunset |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Admiral's Sunset 14/1, Sprung a surprise when landing this race last year and runner-up here (17f) next time. However, below form on her last 3 starts of the campaign (over hurdles on her final outing), so she needs to bounce back after 7 months off. Out of form when last seen in the autumn but won this race when fresh a year ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 -25%) Feuille De Lune |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Feuille De Lune 5/1, Hunter chase winner at Cheltenham on her Rules debut back in 2022 (when trained by Kelly Morgan). Below form at Hereford (25.2f) when last seen in October, but she's not discounted as she drops in trip/grade on her return (has had a wind op). Yet to make a significant impact in handicap chases; had wind op during break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (25/1 +0%) La Breille |
25/1(+0%) | (7) La Breille 25/1, Winner of a juvenile hurdle at Fakenham in October 2022 but her form has gone the wrong way since, including when pulled up on her chase debut at Fontwell a month ago. Looks to be up against it. Struggled to get competitive on last month's chasing debut; difficult to enthuse over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (14/1 -56%) Sevenofus |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Sevenofus 14/1, Point winner who was placed in a series of handicap hurdles at around 20f in 2022. Has matched that form sent chasing on her last 3 starts, leaving behind a lesser effort when third at Taunton (21.7f) last time. More needed to open her Rules account. Placed in two of her three chases; 3lb wrong today but still enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (4/1 -100%) Iorens |
4/1(-100%) | (4) Iorens 4/1, Failed to build on a promising start over hurdles, but bettered previous chase form by some way when runner-up at Huntingdon (16.5f) in March. Took another step forward when fourth at Hereford 12 days ago, so she's a leading contender with cheekpieces added. 0-10 under rules but dropped another 2lb since recent Hereford fourth; cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/2 +27%) Malina Ocarina |
11/2(+27%) | (5) Malina Ocarina 11/2, Landed a gamble over hurdles at Southwell (20.4f) a year ago but mixed bag since, though she did run one of her better races when fourth back at the same C&D 12 days ago. Watch for market clues ahead of her chase debut. Ran well over hurdles recently but has left if late in the day to launch chasing career. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Chase/handicap debutante GOODTIMECREW looked quite promising in maiden hurdles last season and gets the vote.

1st (2) (7/2 +30%) Little Watson |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Little Watson 7/2, £8,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam (h104), lightly raced over hurdles, 1¼m winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Cool Baranca. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Out of a fairly useful 1m2f Flat winner and represents a good stable; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +11%) Chattamento |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Chattamento 4/1, Stepped up on her debut and shaped better than the result when fourth at Fakenham (made effort out wide) last time. Could take another step forward. Close fourth of seven at Fakenham last month but probably needs to improve again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (22/1 -144%) Hola Hermosa |
22/1(-144%) | (4) Hola Hermosa 22/1, From a good family but showed next to nothing at Huntingdon couple of months ago. Needs to have benefited greatly for that experience. Flopped when joint-favourite for debut but evidently though capable of much better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/2 +0%) Little Big Kev |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Little Big Kev 7/2, Runner-up on his only start in points and made an encouraging start under Rules when third at Huntingdon a couple of months ago. That's the best piece of form on offer and he can put his experience to good use in a first-time tongue tie. Placed on Irish point debut a year ago and in Huntingdon bumper in March; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (18/1 -50%) Belle Montrose |
18/1(-50%) | (3) Belle Montrose 18/1, £28,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her sole start in Irish points (Apr 2). Hasn't shown enough under Rules to make him of serious interest here, though. Second on Irish point debut but has shown only minor promise under rules. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 +25%) Flighttothestars |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Flighttothestars 12/1, Showed something on debut but failed to back it up at Newbury 5 months ago. Returns with something to prove. Not disgraced over C&D on debut but absent since struggling at Newbury in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (17/2 -6%) Kiss Me Moon |
17/2(-6%) | (8) Kiss Me Moon 17/2, Ran to only a poor level in a valuable, big-field Newbury on debut but may make more of an impact in this less-competitive environment. Safely held in valuable race at Newbury on debut but in much calmer waters here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (80/1 -220%) Lynda's Pet |
80/1(-220%) | (5) Lynda's Pet 80/1, Notnowcato mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pauls Hill and fairly useful hurdler Starsky. Unplaced sole start in Irish points (Mar 2023). Sixth of eight on Irish point debut in March 2023; makes rules debut after 441-day layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (16/5 -16%) Thewaitingisover |
16/5(-16%) | (9) Thewaitingisover 16/5, Australia filly. Dam (h150) 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), also smart 12.5f/13f winner who stayed 17f on Flat. One to note on debut. First foal from very useful Flat and smart hurdle winner Limini; yard does well in bumpers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The first foal from a Cheltenham Festival winner, THEWAITINGISOVER is taken to make a winning debut.

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.
