Can't Beat History

2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(11) Can't Beat History 2.75/1, Second in an Irish bumper last spring and showed more than previously over hurdles switched to a handicap when runner-up in 13-runner event at Doncaster (19.4f) last week, just failing. Open to further improvement.

Stanley Pincombe

11
11/1(+21%)
(6) Stanley Pincombe 11/1, Hasn't made much of an impact switched to fences this season and ran badly back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces (after 12 weeks off) at Lingfield 16 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.
2
2nd (2) Bertie Wooster (8/1 +27%)
Bertie Wooster

8
8/1(+27%)
(2) Bertie Wooster 8/1, Failed to meet expectations in his only bumper and has yet to better modest form over hurdles but has a good pedigree and is a potential improver on handicap debut.

Phoenix Risen

25
25/1(+80%)
(10) Phoenix Risen 25/1, Didn't cut much ice in maiden/novice hurdles and has fared no better in 2 handicaps this term, including in a first-time tongue strap at Wincanton last time. Cheekpieces now tried.
8
4th (8) The Rain King (7/1 +30%)
The Rain King

7
7/1(+30%)
(8) The Rain King 7/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f). Yet to get near that level over hurdles but ran his best race when 8 lengths third of 12 to Professor Calculus in C&D handicap (good, 10/1) 9 days ago, despite being left poorly placed. Blinkers added to usual tongue strap and has each-way claims with a repeat.

Broomfields Cave

1.5
1.5/1(+57%)
(3) Broomfields Cave 1.5/1, Point winner who shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut over C&D (good) 9 days ago, finishing well from a poor position. Must enter the reckoning.

Freddie Fleetfoot

40
40/1(+39%)
(16) Freddie Fleetfoot 40/1, Showed only a bit more than previously when eighth of 14 on handicap debut over C&D (good) 9 days ago. More needed.

Professor Calculus

3.2
3.2/1(+36%)
(9) Professor Calculus 3.2/1, Found a bit of improvement in a first-time visor to get off the mark in 12-runner handicap over C&D (good) 9 days ago, benefiting from enterprising ride. Carries 7 lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.
14
8th (14) Modreeney (12/1 -118%)
Modreeney

12
12/1(-118%)
(14) Modreeney 12/1, Fair Irish bumper winner. Little impact over hurdles last season but much more encouraging signs since being fitted with a tongue strap, confirming the improvement he had been showing when falling here in December, when runner-up at Ffos Las (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Respected back up in trip.
12
|F| (12) Moscow Spy (18/1 +28%)
Moscow Spy

18
18/1(+28%)
(12) Moscow Spy 18/1, Maiden who shaped as if better for the run on first outing since leaving Jonjo O'Neill after 7 months off when eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago, losing place 3 out. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on for 1st time.

|PU| (4) Ferdinand Star (22/1 +21%)
Ferdinand Star

22
22/1(+21%)
(4) Ferdinand Star 22/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Patrick Magee, finishing second in 2m Tramore maiden on final start over there in October. However, has shown little in 3 handicaps for current yard. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on for 1st time.
13
|PU| (13) Argus (33/1 +50%)
Argus

33
33/1(+50%)
(13) Argus 33/1, Flat winner but very lightly raced over hurdles in recent times and he doesn't seem to retain much ability.
15
|PU| (15) Christopher Clive (50/1 -213%)
Christopher Clive

50
50/1(-213%)
(15) Christopher Clive 50/1, Little impact for Jeremy Scott last season. Offered a bit more when sixth of 14 in a handicap here on return for a new yard but well held completed start since. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
7
|PU| (7) Coconut Twist (80/1 -264%)
Coconut Twist

80
80/1(-264%)
(7) Coconut Twist 80/1, Unplaced in points and just poor form to date in maiden/novice hurdles but it's possible he could do better now switching to a handicap after a break.
5
|PU| (5) Lost History (125/1 -525%)
Lost History

125
125/1(-525%)
(5) Lost History 125/1, Rejuvenated by a yard switch when running out a good winner of a Worcester handicap in May 2021. Failed to meet expectations back there the following month and was sold cheaply out of Dan Skelton's yard later that year.

Matterhorn

0.83
0.83/1(-32%)
(5) Matterhorn 0.83/1, Showed plenty when 11 lengths third of 15 in listed newcomers race at Auteuil in 2021, in lead when landing very awkwardly at the last. Heavy ground and an absence seemed to find him out at Sandown in November but since had a breathing op and much better expected here.

Final Encore

1.62
1.62/1(+14%)
(3) Final Encore 1.62/1, Half-brother to smart hurdler Third Wind for these connections and left his opening bumper run firmly behind when landing 8-runner contest at this venue in April. Off since but this trip will suit now hurdling and he demands a close look.
9
3rd (9) Archie Macdart (28/1 +72%)
Archie Macdart

28/1(+72%)
(9) Archie Macdart 28/1, Minor promise only both starts in juvenile company around 2m.

4th (8) Lillywave (33/1 -32%)
Lillywave

33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Lillywave 33/1, Gentlewave mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler Attaglance, stayed 3m, and useful hurdler/chase winner Hi George. Dam (h68) bumper winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper but she didn't show much on January's debut at Hereford.
10
5th (10) Faded Fantasy (33/1 -136%)
Faded Fantasy

33
33/1(-136%)
(10) Faded Fantasy 33/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons. Market should prove a good guide on his hurdling debut for new yard.

Imprevu Du Large

40

Exmoor Lad

Ventara

Lady Kk

1.38
1.38/1(+31%)
(2) Lady Kk 1.38/1, Hurdles winner who filled runner-up spot on first 2 starts back over fences at Exeter (3m), latterly on New Year's Day. Produced a lesser effort back over hurdles at that venue (23f) 4 weeks ago but no surprise to see her bounce back returned to larger obstacles. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
1
2nd (1) Whatsdastory (7/1 -17%)
Whatsdastory

7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Whatsdastory 7/1, C&D winner who was well prepared following 6 months off to land 3-runner mares' handicap at Hereford in October. Exploits have been rather mixed since, below best when fourth in 5-runner mares' handicap at Fontwell (21.6f) last time. Still, not entirely dismissed.
3
3rd (3) Good Look Charm (4.5/1 -13%)
Good Look Charm

4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(3) Good Look Charm 4.5/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner who finished second on return/chase debut at Fontwell (19.5f) in November. Disappointed in handicaps at Lingfield/Wetherby since but this drop back in trip rates a plus if subsequent wind op has desired effect.
4
4th (4) Shirocco's Dream (1.75/1 -17%)
Shirocco's Dream

1.75
1.75/1(-17%)
(4) Shirocco's Dream 1.75/1, £260,000 purchase who scored twice over hurdles last season and left her reappearance display in her wake to make winning chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f) 3 weeks ago, her jumping clearly an asset. That was a weakish affair but she's open to improvement nevertheless.

Unspeakable

16
16/1(-78%)
(8) Unspeakable 16/1, Little in the way of solid form but his heavy defeat on handicap debut can be overlooked (made a bad mistake). Tongue tie on.
4
2nd (4) The Bold Thady (3.33/1 +26%)
The Bold Thady

3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(4) The Bold Thady 3.33/1, Has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles and has the raw ability to win from this mark. Rarely finds much for pressure though (carried head awkwardly when second a month ago) so backing him comes with risks attached.
6
3rd (6) Aldsworth (10/1 -18%)
Aldsworth

10
10/1(-18%)
(6) Aldsworth 10/1, Showed promise in a Stratford bumper and has looked a work-in-progress in his qualifying runs. Now upped markedly in trip for handicap debut. Cheekpieces on.

Mullinaree

1.88
1.88/1(-7%)
(2) Mullinaree 1.88/1, Fair form in bumpers in Ireland and placed over hurdles for current yard, pulling well clear of the rest when second at Sedgefield a week ago. Big player if he sees out this longer trip.
9
5th (9) Per Vino Veritas (10/1 -11%)
Per Vino Veritas

10
10/1(-11%)
(9) Per Vino Veritas 10/1, Modest maiden but stopped the slide when third in 21.4f handicap at Wincanton 12 days ago. Task is to now build on that trying a new trip.
1
6th (1) Trevada (7/1 +0%)
Trevada

7
7/1(+0%)
(1) Trevada 7/1, Fair bumper scorer for Nigel Twiston-Davies and similar standard over hurdles for current yard, showing improved form with a tongue tie added when second on 21.5f Exeter handicap debut in December. Doncaster race last time was an insufficient test and he's now upped in trip. Big player.
3
7th (3) Fancy Your Chances (9/1 -38%)
Fancy Your Chances

9
9/1(-38%)
(3) Fancy Your Chances 9/1, Runner-up in the first of 3 bumpers last winter and placed in mares' maiden/novice hurdles this time round. Bit disappointing switched to a handicap in the mud when last seen in January but could do better now.
5
8th (5) Shantou Sunset (16/1 +27%)
Shantou Sunset

Imperial Joe

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(8) Imperial Joe 3.5/1, Successful start over fences at Newton Abbot in May. Good efforts the last twice, runner-up here 23 days ago, and should make his presence felt again if getting the longer trip.

Wick Green

4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(3) Wick Green 4.5/1, First run since leaving Jennifer Mason when 11/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las. Had something to spare and looks worth a chance to follow up.
6
3rd (6) Hipop Des Ongrais (4.5/1 -50%)
Hipop Des Ongrais

4.5
4.5/1(-50%)
(6) Hipop Des Ongrais 4.5/1, Appealed as the type to make a better chaser and duly stepped up on his seasonal/chase debut when winning handicap at Fontwell (19.5f) in December. Disappointing next time but may well bounce back.
4
4th (4) Airtothethrone (5/1 +17%)
Airtothethrone

5
5/1(+17%)
(4) Airtothethrone 5/1, Placed in both Irish points and bright start under Rules, unsurprisingly improving for switch to chasing when narrowly on top close home at Taunton (23f) in December. Not in the same form subsequently, though.
2
5th (2) Point Him Out (12/1 +14%)
Point Him Out

12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Point Him Out 12/1, Fairly useful at up to 9f on the Flat in the US and fair form when off the mark over hurdles for present yard at Stratford (16.3f) back in March. Only minor encouragement over fences so far, so needs visor to perk him up.
7
6th (7) Camulus (5.5/1 -83%)
Camulus

5.5
5.5/1(-83%)
(7) Camulus 5.5/1, Ex-pointer (half brother to Irish National winner Freewheelin Dylan) who has been brought along gradually under Rules. Shaped well on chasing debut at Fakenham a month ago and longer trip should suit. Strong claims.
5
|F| (5) Dan's Chosen (6.5/1 +28%)
Dan's Chosen

6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(5) Dan's Chosen 6.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who has quickly proven better over fences, left with a simple task when off the mark at Fakenham in October. Creditable efforts since and should be on the premises again.
1
|PU| (1) Eclair Mag (18/1 +18%)
Eclair Mag

18
18/1(+18%)
(1) Eclair Mag 18/1, Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen in January 2021. Record has been mixed since, and others look more appealing.

(7) Secret Squirrel 4.5/1, Stimulation gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Canoodle (by Stimulation). Yard no stranger to success in this code and another who needs monitoring closely in the betting for clues.

Act Of Authority

2
2/1(-6%)
(1) Act Of Authority 2/1, £200,000 4-y-o who won sole start in Irish points last year and promising start under Rules when runner-up in a Musselburgh bumper (15.5f) in January. Rates a lead player with progress distinctly possible.
6

Light Sentence

12
12/1(-9%)
(6) Light Sentence 12/1, Lawman gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including useful 1m winner Five Avenue. Dam 6f winner who stayed 1m. Yard 1-7 with their runners in this sphere so far this campaign and the betting should provide a useful guide.

Annie K

2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(5) Annie K 2.5/1, £170,000 5-y-o, Valirann mare. Dam, sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Giantofaman. Easy winner sole outing in Irish points back in November and she's a most interesting bumper debutante for her leading stable.
2
6th (2) Bar Thyme (50/1 -317%)
Bar Thyme

50
50/1(-317%)
(2) Bar Thyme 50/1, Down the field at Ascot on debut in a race that has worked out well in the main but finished well held fourth in 8-runner Exeter bumper (16.7f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Still, likelihood is he can do better still moving forward.
4

Haafbourd

25
25/1(+69%)
(4) Haafbourd 25/1, Signs of ability when third in small-field Fakenham bumper (2m, soft) back in November. Feasible to think he can build on that but others appeal more for win purposes in this line up.

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.
