1st (8) (3.5/1 +50%) Rocambolas |
3.5/1(+50%) | (8) Rocambolas 3.5/1, Winning pointer who hinted at promise over hurdles and fences for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. Hooded for 1st time back over hurdles for his new yard and no forlorn hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Atlantic Dancer |
4.5/1(-29%) | (2) Atlantic Dancer 4.5/1, Doubled her tally with win in 10-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 5 lb rise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5.5/1 +45%) Bravethewaves |
5.5/1(+45%) | (4) Bravethewaves 5.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this C&D 6 months ago. Not ruled out after his lay-off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +20%) Half The Freedom |
4/1(+20%) | (5) Half The Freedom 4/1, Got off the mark at Doncaster in January and has posted solid third placings there and at Warwick since. Considered eased 1 lb here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/1 +25%) Red Vision |
9/1(+25%) | (3) Red Vision 9/1, Winner of a pair of novice hurdles last March but hasn't been able to make a significant impact in his 5 handicap starts this season. Mark on the slide but others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 -317%) Rainbow Jet |
25/1(-317%) | (6) Rainbow Jet 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Had wind op before coming in only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 9 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -60%) Sabbathical |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Sabbathical 16/1, Scored over fences at Leicester in February but below form since, cheekpieces back on when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (4.5/1 -50%) Tonto Foley |
4.5/1(-50%) | (7) Tonto Foley 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted his best effort when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 35 days ago, despite refusing to settle. Can do better still. Weighted to go close. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A winner over C&D on her latest outing last month, a 5lb raised mark may not be enough to hold ATLANTIC DANCER back here and she is fancied to secure a double in this contest. Tonto Foley must hold every chance of building on his fourth at Newcastle when making his handicap debut in February, while Half The Freedom is capable of being in the mix.
TONTO FOLEY took a big step forward on his handicap debut when fourth at Newcastle last time out and is weighted to open his account here off an unchanged mark. C&D scorer Atlantic Dancer rates the chief threat to Christian Williams' lightly-raced sort, with Half The Freedom appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
This might go to TONTO FOLEY, who needs to learn to settle better but caught the eye when tanking through most of his handicap debut.

1st (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Mexico |
2.75/1(+31%) | (1) Mexico 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 18/1, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Can give a good account back in these calmer waters. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Sporting Ace |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Sporting Ace 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, soft) 20 days ago. Not ruled out with headgear retained. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 -60%) The Newest One |
4/1(-60%) | (6) The Newest One 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who comes here on the back of a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good) 28 days ago. The form pick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6.5/1 -86%) Mr Vango |
6.5/1(-86%) | (2) Mr Vango 6.5/1, Won sole start in points and built on a successful hurdling debut when runner-up under a penalty at Hereford. Pulled up in Prestige Novices at Haydock last time but can bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Top Target |
3.33/1(+17%) | (4) Top Target 3.33/1, Point winner who also landed a Wetherby novice (21.2f) on hurdles debut in December. Good efforts since at Wincanton and Ffos Las so he commands respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (66/1 -32%) Good Friday Fairy |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Good Friday Fairy 66/1, 14/1, ninth of 12 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with more needed now significantly up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It could be worth siding with the grade-dropping MEXICO, who struggled in the EBF Final at Sandown last month. He has to shoulder 7lb penalty for an easy success which came over an extended 2m4f at Southwell in December, but there is every chance he may benefit from stepping up in trip. Sporting Ace has been knocking on the door of late and can give the selection plenty to think about, along with the Mark Bradstock-trained Mr Vango.
THE NEWEST ONE arrives in good nick and rates the pick on form so can gain a deserved first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Mexico who has his sights lowered here and can get back on track. Top Target and Mr Vango need considering too in a useful novice.
Thorough stayer SPORTING ACE scores very good marks for consistency and will presumably be ridden very positively again.

1st (1) (3.33/1 +26%) Marsh Wren |
3.33/1(+26%) | (1) Marsh Wren 3.33/1, Returned to winning ways when scoring on handicap debut/reappearance at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Found a competitive Carlisle Class 3 beyond her next time but can do better in these calmer waters. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4.5/1 +55%) Cast's Tasha |
4.5/1(+55%) | (6) Cast's Tasha 4.5/1, Placed in mares' maiden hurdles at the start of the year but has disappointed in a couple of handicaps since. Still time for her to get back on track but others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (1.75/1 +0%) Corey's Courage |
1.75/1(+0%) | (4) Corey's Courage 1.75/1, Back on the up with a 20.5f Huntingdon win last month. Did that easily from a next-time-out scorer so a 7 lb rise looks manageable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 -14%) Western Jill |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Western Jill 4/1, Runner-up in sole Irish point a year ago. Not seen again until placed in 2 mares' novice hurdles in February. While that form is nothing to get excited about she does have potential now making a quick switch to handicaps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +13%) Could Be Trouble |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Could Be Trouble 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler who posted a respectable fourth of 6 in 20.5f handicap at Market Rasen (good) in February. Has undergone wind surgery since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Even though COREY'S COURAGE finds herself in deeper waters here, she kept on to score by eight and a half lengths over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and can have another big say in proceedings. Western Jill remains unexposed and is entitled to build on what she has achieved so far on her handicap bow, while Marsh Wren completes the shortlist dropping in class.
COREY'S COURAGE had a next-time-out scorer behind in second when winning comfortably at Huntingdon last month and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Marsh Wren ought to find this easier than the big-field Carlisle Class 3 she contested last time and can give the selection most to do ahead of Lime Drop.
It's hard to get away from COREY'S COURAGE, who was far too good for her rivals at Huntingdon last month.

1st (1) (2.25/1 +36%) Blackjack Magic |
2.25/1(+36%) | (1) Blackjack Magic 2.25/1, Dual winner over hurdles for Jack Barber last term and off the mark in this sphere on second start for current yard in 4-runner event at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) back in January. Jumping fell apart in better company here next time but probably best to forgive that run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 -100%) Real Stone |
5/1(-100%) | (3) Real Stone 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who showed first form in this sphere when scoring at Ffos Las (2m) 68 days ago, looking well served by the strong gallop/drop in trip. Back up in trip now but he's in excellent hands. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2/1 -6%) Lord Of Kerak |
2/1(-6%) | (4) Lord Of Kerak 2/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles and left chase bow well behind when second of 5 at Wetherby 11 days ago, race outcome still in the balance when he got the second last wrong. Open to further improvement and can go one better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +27%) Make Me A Believer |
4/1(+27%) | (2) Make Me A Believer 4/1, Chepstow bumper winner and got off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles at Cheltenham (16.8f) back in December 2020. Made a respectable chase/handicap debut after almost 2 years off when sixth at Exeter but failed to build on that at Sandown 3 months later. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +0%) Prevaricate |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Prevaricate 9/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott. Looks the part for chasing but well held both starts for this yard this term, albeit showing a lot more than Wetherby reappearance at Sandown last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BLACKJACK MAGIC may have disappointed over further here last time out, but he was a convincing winner at Exeter before that and the drop in trip may only aid his cause on this occasion. The eight-year-old will relish the ground and should have too much for Lord Of Kerak, who has run with credit on both starts in this sphere. Ffos Las winner Real Stone could be interesting going back up in trip.
LORD OF KERAK left his chasing debut form well behind when beaten only by a progressive one at Wetherby 11 days ago (likely to have gone close had he not met the second last wrong) so has a big shout off the same mark. Real Stone looked suited by the drop to 2m when winning in good style at Ffos Las in January but he does stay this far so still rates the main threat back up in distance.
Preference is for BLACKJACK MAGIC, who beat a progressive mare in pretty good style at Exeter in January and is only 3lb higher here.

1st (5) (6.5/1 -44%) Tip Top Mountain |
6.5/1(-44%) | (5) Tip Top Mountain 6.5/1, Winner of a Fontwell handicap on return in November and added to tally with a battling display here (20f) in January. Wasted no time getting back to form when third over same C&D 2 weeks ago. enhancing his good record here. Worth a go at this trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.5/1 -5%) Gold Emery |
3.5/1(-5%) | (6) Gold Emery 3.5/1, Point winner who made perfect start under Rules when off the mark in 17f Carlisle maiden hurdle last winter. Solid third on return at Ayr in December and all the better for chase bow when second at Newcastle 2 weeks ago. More to come up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 -27%) Margaret's Legacy |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Margaret's Legacy 14/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles/fences in France. Let down by jumping both starts over fences for new yard this term, though still in contention when making a bad mistake 2 out at Market Rasen last time. Off nearly 5 months. Tongue strap back on. First run after wind op. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6.5/1 +59%) Oneupmanship |
6.5/1(+59%) | (7) Oneupmanship 6.5/1, Fair hurdler who was in the process of making a good first attempt over fences when falling at Ffos Las in December 2021. Disappointed since (left Jack Barber prior to return), however. Change of headgear. Plenty to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (3.5/1 +56%) No Rematch |
3.5/1(+56%) | (3) No Rematch 3.5/1, Struggled in 3 starts over fences last season for Evan Williams but got back to winning ways on his second run for current connections in claiming hurdle at Leicester in February. Struggled back in a handicap at Warwick 10 days ago, however. Headgear/tongue strap fitted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (5.5/1 -83%) Last Quarter |
5.5/1(-83%) | (4) Last Quarter 5.5/1, Hurdles winner who left his chase bow well behind when just failing at Ffos Las 10 days ago, again impressing with his jumping. Big shout up 3 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (5.5/1 +35%) Beyond Redemption |
5.5/1(+35%) | (8) Beyond Redemption 5.5/1, First run since leaving Peter Flood when getting off the mark under Rules in 11-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) in January. Shaped better than bare result at Ffos Las since so worth another chance off revised mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 +0%) Alkopop |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Alkopop 12/1, Has been in good form this season, finishing third in handicap hurdles on first 3 starts. Let down by his jumping back chasing at Fontwell on penultimate start, however (respectable effort back hurdling since). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Last Quarter warrants plenty of consideration on the back of a gallant runner-up effort at Ffos Las, but preference instead is for course winner TIP TOP MOUNTAIN. Robert Walford's charge should have no issue with the step up in trip, being a former point-to-point winner, while his breeding points towards him improving for it as well. Margaret's Legacy is still coming to terms with his new surroundings, while the unexposed Gold Emery is another to note.
The lightly-raced GOLD EMERY left his chase bow well behind when runner-up at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and should improve again over this longer distance, so is narrowly preferred to Last Quarter, who also stepped up massively from his debut in this sphere when just failing at Ffos Las 10 days ago. Tip Top Mountain goes well around here so is another to consider.
As an unexposed sort who is open to progress back up in trip, GOLD EMERY holds very good claims. Last Quarter is feared most.

1st (4) (5/1 +55%) Carlow Farmer |
5/1(+55%) | (4) Carlow Farmer 5/1, Bettered this season's previous efforts when third at Fontwell a fortnight ago but he's none too reliable and is probably worth taking on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Had To Be Hugo |
2/1(+20%) | (3) Had To Be Hugo 2/1, Runner-up sole outing in points and has made an encouraging start under Rules, making the frame on each of his 4 starts, most recently finding just one too good in 2½m Hexham novice (heavy). Open to improvement upped in trip for this handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -43%) Getaweapon |
20/1(-43%) | (2) Getaweapon 20/1, Returned with a bang when winning handicap at Bangor in October but in nothing like the same form since and the addition of cheekpieces (retained here) failed to work the oracle last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +40%) Turning Gold |
6/1(+40%) | (6) Turning Gold 6/1, Third success at Leicester when bolting up in a selling hurdle there (20.5f, heavy) at the end of December. However, ran no sort of a race back in handicap company at Ffos Las next time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (1.88/1 +46%) Breizh Alko |
1.88/1(+46%) | (8) Breizh Alko 1.88/1, Back to form returned to this sphere the last twice, latterly seeing off his 6 rivals in game fashion at Southwell (24.3f, soft). Nudged up just 2 lb and this veteran is likely to play a part in the finish. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (10/1 -82%) On We Go |
10/1(-82%) | (7) On We Go 10/1, Plenty of positives for Gillian Boanas, gaining fourth success from last 7 starts at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) last month, well positioned but ultimately doing it well. Still, now finds himself 7 lb higher in the weights in what looks a stronger race. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HAD TO BE HUGO has run with credit on all three starts over hurdles, including when runner-up last time at Hexham, and the six-year-old makes plenty of appeal with his attentions now switched to handicap company. Betterforeveryone remains open to improvement over timber despite falling at Plumpton when last seen, while On We Go completes the shortlist following her Ayr victory in February.
HAD TO BE HUGO looks the way to go on the back of a highly creditable effort in a Hexham maiden last month. The 6-y-o makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, he probably has more to offer. The veteran Breizh Alko looks dangerouns but, if all is well following his departure at Plumpton last time, Betterforeveryone could be the one to pose most problems.
It's possible to make a case for several of these but the most attractive profile belongs to the lightly raced HAD TO BE HUGO (nap).

1st (1) (1/1 +50%) Cherie D'am |
1/1(+50%) | (1) Cherie D'am 1/1, Great Pretender mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Lalochezia. Dam (b95), bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Victor Hewgo. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 +68%) Miss Maverick |
9/1(+68%) | (2) Miss Maverick 9/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and failed to beat a rival over C&D 2 weeks ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +45%) Northern Reel |
3/1(+45%) | (3) Northern Reel 3/1, £38,000 buy after winning an Irish point in December. Stable has a good bumper record. Much respected, particularly if betting vibes strong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (3.33/1 +88%) Shirley Knott |
3.33/1(+88%) | (6) Shirley Knott 3.33/1, Proconsul filly. Dam 5f winner. Bred to have plenty of speed and stable can ready a newcomer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Cherie D'am was an easy winner of a point-to-point at Hexham in November and is likely to prove popular having joined Dan Skelton since that performance. The vote, though, goes to MISTRAL MILLY, who caught the eye on her first start when staying on into fourth at Ascot in February and she is likely to benefit greatly from that experience. Northern Reel and Braunton Burrows appeal most of the remainder.
NORTHERN REEL won an Irish point and her stable is well capable of readying one, so she takes marginal preference over Mistral Milly, who shaped well at Ascot on debut. Cherie d'Am also makes plenty of appeal on paper.
Preference is for MISTRAL MILLY who outran her odds in a big field at Ascot and seems likely to improve.

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.
