---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (6.5/1 -8%) Eaton Lady |
6.5/1(-8%) | (8) Eaton Lady 6.5/1, Remains a maiden following 17 attempts in this sphere but latest second in a Ludlow handicap (21.2f, good to soft) was by far her best effort for present connections. Definite chance off the same mark here. 0-17 over hurdles but posted a pretty good effort when second over 2m5f last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Dancingontheedge |
4.5/1(-13%) | (5) Dancingontheedge 4.5/1, Bumper winner who went close to opening her hurdles account at Taunton (3m, good) in March. Disappointing over the same C&D since but it wouldn't be any great surprise were she to bounce back with a bold show. Went close at Taunton in March but was disappointing favourite over same C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (2.12/1 +23%) Jack The Farmer |
2.12/1(+23%) | (9) Jack The Farmer 2.12/1, Lost his way for Ben Lund but has put in good shifts in handicaps at Chepstow and Warwick for present yard. Near miss at the latter course was over 25f and, unexposed as a stayer, he has to enter calculations. Placed on both starts for new stable this spring and still unexposed as a stayer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Titanium Bullet |
7.5/1(+17%) | (3) Titanium Bullet 7.5/1, Good second to the progressive Blue Shark on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f) in February. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Taunton last time and possibilities here if coping with this step up in trip. Close second to progressive rival on h'cap in February; needs to bounce back from poor run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.33/1 +33%) Hurricane Vichi |
3.33/1(+33%) | (1) Hurricane Vichi 3.33/1, Ffos Las bumper winner who posted his best effort yet over hurdles when runner-up in a 23f Lingfield handicap in January. Not disgraced over the same C&D since (subsequently undergone a wind op) and he's one to consider. Given break after below-par run in February; contender if judged on earlier close second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 -79%) Saved By The River |
50/1(-79%) | (7) Saved By The River 50/1, Cut little ice in bumpers and not much encouragement over hurdles either. Pulled up on chase debut at Plumpton last month and looks set for another struggle returned to this sphere. Ex-Irish maiden who has struggled on both starts for current stable; too risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (22/1 +33%) Luckello |
22/1(+33%) | (10) Luckello 22/1, Winner of both starts between the flags last spring but her record under Rules is hardly compelling. Failed to complete three chases during the winter and was safely held when back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 -75%) King Otis |
28/1(-75%) | (6) King Otis 28/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who hasn't shown much in 2 starts for present connections. Needs to improve on the back of a wind op. Pulled up on stable debut but last month's Plumpton fifth was a good effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (14/1 -56%) Harry d'Alene |
14/1(-56%) | (2) Harry d'Alene 14/1, Runner-up first 3 starts over hurdles but no impact switched to handicaps the last twice. Best to look elsewhere. Safely held in first two handicaps but returns from break in an easier race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (50/1 -257%) Scarpered |
50/1(-257%) | (4) Scarpered 50/1, Caught the eye under considerate handling when fifth on hurdles debut at Ludlow but subsequent efforts have been poor, including on handicap bow at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) last month. Big step forward needed up in trip here. In good hands but was well beaten on last month's handicap debut; tries a new trip today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JACK THE FARMER benefitted from a step up in trip when second at Warwick last time, he has been put up 4lb but that may not be enough to stop him here. Dancingontheedge tries a tongue-tie for the first time looking to recapture the level of her second in March and she could also go well, leaving Hurricane Vichi as an interesting alternative after his wind-operation.
The vote goes to JACK THE FARMER, who pulled clear of the rest when second upped to 25f at Warwick recently and he could have more to offer over this sort of trip. Eaton Lady is next on the list on the back of an improved effort at Ludlow, while Hurricane Vichi is also shortlisted.
In good form for his new stable this spring, JACK THE FARMER went down fighting and was clear of the others when second at Warwick.

1st (1) (0.2/1 +39%) Lookaway |
0.2/1(+39%) | (1) Lookaway 0.2/1, Dual bumper winner (including Aintree Grade 2) who opened his hurdling account dropped in class in 11-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 14 days ago, making most and well on top finish. Should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Smart bumper horse; made the most of a drop in grade here 14 days ago; the one to beat.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Midnight Soldier |
5.5/1(-10%) | (5) Midnight Soldier 5.5/1, Stoutly bred son of Soldier of Fortune who showed more speed than expected to make a winning bumper debut in good style at Fontwell in June 2021 for Christian Williams. Not seen since but the booking of Harry Cobden is a positive one and he'll be suited by the longer trip. With Christian Williams when winning a fast-ground bumper at Fontwell nearly two years ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +0%) Morning Line |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Morning Line 12/1, Showed ability on his only start in bumpers and shaped as if better for the run when well held on February's hurdling debut at Lingfield. Shapes as if amiss when pulled up before seventh at Warwick subsequently, though. Minor promise in a bumper but soundly beaten in his maiden hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (25/1 -56%) Old Beginnings |
25/1(-56%) | (7) Old Beginnings 25/1, Presenting gelding. Dam (h124) bumper/2m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Runner-up sole start in Irish points but was well held fitted with a tongue strap in a Chepstow bumper on his Rules debut in February. Has since had a breathing operation. Second in a point; ran poorly in his bumper but had wind surgery and may do better.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (25/1 +38%) Carapaz |
25/1(+38%) | (2) Carapaz 25/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam (b72), lightly raced in bumpers, sister to fairly useful 19f hurdle winner/useful staying chaser Burtons Well, and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class staying chaser Burton Port. Failed to complete both starts in points, pulled up latest (Apr 22). Pulled up in his second point but held every chance when falling late on in his first.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (150/1 -88%) Lucky Jo Jo |
150/1(-88%) | (4) Lucky Jo Jo 150/1, Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler/chaser Whoyakodding. Dam, little form in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to useful staying hurdler Sir Overbury. Pulled up in novice hurdle (40/1) at Bangor (23f, good to firm) on NH debut 28 days ago. Didn't jump well before becoming detached and pulling up in a 2m7f novice hurdle at Bangor. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Midnight Soldier is interesting on his first start for a new trainer after an easy bumper win at Fontwell in June 2021, but expecting a winning return after such a long absence may be asking too much. LOOKAWAY seems the more sensible option after an easy maiden hurdle win here over shorter, which followed fair efforts in much better races. Morning Line also warrants a mention for his powerful connections, though he does need to show more to have any say.
LOOKAWAY doesn't look like living up to his bumper promise over hurdles but he opened his account in ready fashion at this venue 2 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Midnight Soldier hasn't been seen since winning his sole bumper start for Christian Williams nearly 2 years ago but the booking of Harry Cobden suggests a good run is expected on hurdle debut.
This looks good for recent course winner LOOKAWAY who has always had some class about him.

1st (10) (11/1 +31%) Landofsmiles |
11/1(+31%) | (10) Landofsmiles 11/1, Four-time 3m winner over fences in 2021. Not seen for 16 months but given a chance by the handicapper so he's worth a market check. Not easy to weigh up after 486-day absence but has been given a chance by the handicapper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (22/1 +12%) I See You Well |
22/1(+12%) | (7) I See You Well 22/1, Scored at Sandown in December but his run of good form ended when only tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won gamely off today's mark in December but, on balance, others are more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/1 -80%) Cap Du Nord |
9/1(-80%) | (1) Cap Du Nord 9/1, Back to winning ways in valuable event at Ascot in February. Shaped as if in good form when fading 10th in Scottish Grand National at Ayr so not ruled out now reverted in trip. Landed a big prize in February but safely held in another two major handicaps since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Stormy Flight |
5.5/1(-10%) | (5) Stormy Flight 5.5/1, Scored at Taunton in February and has continued in good form. Unseated rider 13th in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Still merits consideration. Suffered a mishap last time but was in good form beforehand; can feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 +9%) Bothwell Bridge |
10/1(+9%) | (4) Bothwell Bridge 10/1, Winless over fences since 2021 but he posted a creditable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. No forlorn hope. Not easy to predict on return to chasing but he is on a good mark and conditions will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4.5/1 +31%) Risk And Roll |
4.5/1(+31%) | (8) Risk And Roll 4.5/1, Temperamental sort but he posted a creditable third of 11 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good) 31 days ago. Others remain more persuasive. Creditable third off this mark at Cheltenham last month; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (20/1 +0%) Pym |
20/1(+0%) | (3) Pym 20/1, Smart chaser at peak for Nicky Henderson earlier in career but not so good nowadays. Tongue strap on for 1st time/off 18 months before well-held sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Kelso (25.8f, soft) 56 days ago. Others appeal more. Low-key return from long layoff over hurdles last month; current ability is hard to gauge. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (4/1 +20%) Silver In Disguise |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Silver In Disguise 4/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when scoring at Wetherby and backed it up with a very good second at Perth 22 days ago when blundering 2 out. Another bold showing is on the cards. Followed last month's Wetherby win with a big run in the Highland National at Perth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (5/1 +38%) Daranova |
5/1(+38%) | (12) Daranova 5/1, Two 3m wins in May 2022 but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Warwick (24f, good) 23 days ago. Others appeal more. Last month's Warwick fifth was quite encouraging and he's now back on last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (12/1 +40%) Evander |
12/1(+40%) | (11) Evander 12/1, Arrives out of sorts, making mistakes before unseated rider 3 out in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time now. Out of form since returning from long absence; might be boosted by cheekpieces here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (14/1 -75%) Hawk's Well |
14/1(-75%) | (6) Hawk's Well 14/1, Off 19 months since landing 3m handicap chase at Kempton in 2021. Has his fitness to prove on his comeback run now. 2-3 over fences; not seen since easy win in October 2021; market may guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Bothwell Bridge is tried in first-time cheekpieces for a stable in form and, if they rekindle his enthusiasm, he is well-handicapped, although he has failed to complete on his last four starts over fences. Hawk's Well has won two of his three starts since going chasing and clearly has plenty of ability. That said, SILVER IN DISGUISE would probably have won the Highland National last time barring a mistake two out, and another 5lb rise may not stop him here.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SILVER IN DISGUISE is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having blundered 2 out when a very good runner-up at Perth last time. In-form Cap du Nord is feared most now back in distance having not got home in the Scottish National, while Stormy Flight is another who can have a say provided he is none the worse for his Chepstow mishap.
After two very creditable runs at Cheltenham towards the end of last season, RISK AND ROLL is taken to exploit today's ease in grade.

1st (4) (1.75/1 +65%) Twig |
1.75/1(+65%) | (4) Twig 1.75/1, Multiple point/chase winner who opened his account over hurdles at Kempton in November but finished well held in River Don at Doncaster next time. Back on scoreboard in 6-runner novice at Newbury in March and acquitted himself well back in stronger company when second at Cheltenham last time. Productive since switched from fences to hurdles; interesting contender now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (16/1 +0%) Hillview |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Hillview 16/1, Five wins from 18 NH runs, latest over C&D in June. Good efforts off higher marks next 2 starts prior to shaping better than the distance beaten suggests on chasing debut at Hexham. Has won off a break before so not dismissed. C&D winner, best on good ground; leading contender after six months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -43%) Espoir De Romay |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Espoir De Romay 10/1, Ran as well as he ever has over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces when second of 14 in handicap at Ascot (21.6f, good to soft) 48 days ago, sticking to task. Respected off same mark. Good second at Ascot seven weeks ago; big player if repeating the form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 -29%) Doyen Breed |
18/1(-29%) | (8) Doyen Breed 18/1, Visored for 1st time, fell in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft, 3/1) 22 days ago. On a workable mark back over hurdles. Back over hurdles after being let down by jumping over fences of late; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Copper Coin |
6.5/1(-18%) | (6) Copper Coin 6.5/1, C&D winner who ran another fine race back from another break (off 5 months) when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, heavy, 7/1) 26 days ago, headed dying strides. Fresh might be the time to catch him but sure to be thereabouts if turning up in similar form. Went close over C&D last year, even closer at Kempton in April; more persuasive than many. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (3.33/1 +17%) Uhtred |
3.33/1(+17%) | (10) Uhtred 3.33/1, Useful hurdler for Joseph O'Brien who, having fallen in the weights, made more impact than previously for current yard when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, good) 28 days ago, running on late. Shortlist material. Down in weights prior to close third at Ayr, shaping as if this longer trip would suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (25/1 -127%) Sporting John |
25/1(-127%) | (2) Sporting John 25/1, Not the force of old (Grade 1 novice chase winner) and hasn't shown much for a good while, so has plenty to prove back hurdling. Has looked a shadow of former self this year; thrown in on best form but can't be trusted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (7/1 +13%) Gesskille |
7/1(+13%) | (5) Gesskille 7/1, Ex-French chaser who has done well for this yard and posted an excellent second in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December. Below form in the Topham there last time but has a lower mark to work with back in this sphere. Better known as a chaser; switches back to hurdling off lower mark; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (16/1 -167%) Regarding Ruth |
16/1(-167%) | (9) Regarding Ruth 16/1, Belatedly proved she retains all her ability with victory in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft, 20/1) 23 days ago, well positioned. Only nudged up 3 lb but that might be enough to prevent her from following up. Gained fifth win over hurdles at Warwick last month; good ground suits; in the mix again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TWIG only found one too strong in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month and he could capitalise off what looks a fair mark in this sphere. Although not the most reliable, Regarding Ruth bounced back to form when winning at Warwick in April and she shouldn't be underestimated off only 3lb higher in the ratings. Uhtred looks worth another go over this stiffer test having done his best work at the finish over an extended 2m5f at Ayr recently and also enters calculations.
UHTRED is unproven at this trip, but he looks ready to strike based on his fast-finishing third at Ayr 4 weeks ago, so receives the vote. Espoir de Romay and Twig head the opposition.
The vote goes to UHTRED who had tumbled in the weights prior to third at Ayr last month when shaping as if this longer trip would suit.

1st (1) (3/1 +0%) Do It For Thy Sen |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Do It For Thy Sen 3/1, Well held all 3 starts during the winter but is now 4 lb lower than when scoring over a similar trip at Southwell last May. Tried in blinkers last time but cheekpieces refitted here and he's of strong interest. Won off 4lb higher a year ago but was out of form when last seen in winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3.5/1 -56%) Miltiades |
3.5/1(-56%) | (2) Miltiades 3.5/1, Yet to win a race of any description but hit the crossbar over hurdles at Catterick in January and positive start in this sphere when third of 12 at Stratford (19.4f, soft) last month. Possibilities if able to build on that here. Emerged from slump in form with creditable third on last month's chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8.5/1 -55%) Dogem By Design |
8.5/1(-55%) | (7) Dogem By Design 8.5/1, Improved when second in a 5-runner Catterick handicap chase (15,7f, good) in February but that is very much a standout effort and subsequent display at Market Rasen was nowhere near as encouraging. Seemed to be getting his act together when second two runs ago; had excuses last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (14/1 -75%) Forget You Not |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Forget You Not 14/1, Resumed winning ways in a 7-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19f, good) in October. Well below par all 3 starts since but, now 1 lb lower than for that Exeter success, he is dangerous to discount. Dual chase winner in 2022 but ended last season with two disappointing runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (80/1 -100%) Grow Nasa Grow |
80/1(-100%) | (5) Grow Nasa Grow 80/1, Four chase wins during a productive spell in 2018 but there have been lengthy intervals between his last 2 starts (pulled up on both occasions) and he now has plenty to prove. Won four chases in 2018 but seen only twice since that year and pulled up both times. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (4/1 +38%) Harry Du Berlais |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Harry Du Berlais 4/1, Irish point winner who stepped up on promising chasing debut last spring when scoring on return at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft) in November. However, he has failed to reproduce that form in 3 subsequent starts and now tried in cheekpieces. Seemingly back in good form over 3m last month; drops in trip with cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (28/1 -56%) Eightytwo Team |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Eightytwo Team 28/1, Long-standing maiden who has failed to complete on 3 of his last 4 starts and is entitled to need this following a 7-month absence. Placed at 66-1 last summer but pulled up on both runs since; back from eight-month break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (8) (3.33/1 +45%) Harry The Norseman |
3.33/1(+45%) | (8) Harry The Norseman 3.33/1, Winning hurdler for Paul Webber here in 2021 and also scored on the Flat for Louise Allan last year. However, he hasn't shone in 2 starts for present yard, including on chase debut at Plumpton last time. Hurdle/Flat winner; well beaten on chasing debut; 5lb out of the weights here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MILTIADES offered plenty of encouragement when third on his chase debut at Stratford last month and a further 1lb ease in the handicap may be enough for Henry Daly's gelding to gain a first success. Harry Du Berlais wasn't disgraced at Warwick last time and first-time cheekpieces could eke out some improvement. Do It For Thy Sen is now 4lb lower than his Southwell triumph last May and is dangerous to rule out.
While DO IT FOR THY SEN's handful of appearances during the winter didn't amount to much, this is the time of year that he tends to show his best. Indeed, all 3 of his previous wins under Rules (and his maiden point success) were gained during the month of May and he is very appealing off this reduced mark with conditions in his favour. Forget You Not is second choice but Miltiades could also have a major say if backing up his soft-ground chase debut third at Stratford on this faster surface.
Preference is for DOGEM BY DESIGN, who had excuses last time and is better judged on his Catterick second in February.

1st (6) (4/1 +43%) Getaway Tom |
4/1(+43%) | (6) Getaway Tom 4/1, Signs of ability in bumper/novice hurdles and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces, he produced his best effort yet when fifth in a big-field Exeter handicap (18.5f, good to soft) last month. Now 1 lb lower and, with this drop back in trip a potentially good move, he's one for the shortlist. Improved form when fifth of 18 at Exeter last month and has claims if he can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 +8%) Mutual Respect |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Mutual Respect 11/1, Remains winless following 18 attempts overall but he was in the process of running a big race when hampered by a faller and unseating 2 out at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft). Claims if able to build on that off the same mark. Challenging when he was badly hampered and unseated two out at Southwell; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +0%) Governor Green |
3/1(+0%) | (2) Governor Green 3/1, Well-backed and duly left previous form well behind when scoring from the front at Bangor (16.7f, good) in ready fashion last month. This is more demanding up 7 lb but he couldn't be called exposed and should have a part to play. Off the mark from the front at Bangor and he's open to more progress; highly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (4.5/1 +72%) Sassified |
4.5/1(+72%) | (10) Sassified 4.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh but yet to make a mark over hurdles and failed to improve for the addition of cheekpieces (retained) over this C&D recently. No impact in his five hurdle runs, including a C&D handicap last time; needs to step up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/1 -125%) Getaman |
9/1(-125%) | (8) Getaman 9/1, Eight-race maiden in this sphere but improved over fences last year, winning twice, and resumed from a break with a good second at Warwick (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Merits serious consideration off a 7 lb lower mark back hurdling. Made a bold bid over fences last month and he's 7lb lower back in this sphere; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Dusky Days |
6.5/1(+13%) | (1) Dusky Days 6.5/1, Bumper winner who ran to a fair level when runner-up on the second of 2 starts in maiden hurdles last spring. Best effort since switched to handicaps when again finding just one too good at Stratford (18.7f, soft) latest and not without each-way hope. 0-8 over hurdles but he was a clear second in a Stratford handicap last time; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (9/1 +73%) Lookingdandy |
9/1(+73%) | (12) Lookingdandy 9/1, Hasn't shown much spark in 5 runs over hurdles to date and he's hard to warm to. Well held in all starts, including two good-ground handicaps this year; best watched. |

|PU| (5) (11/1 +67%) Iceman Dennis |
11/1(+67%) | (5) Iceman Dennis 11/1, Best effort to date over hurdles when third in a Stratford novice in October but hasn't made much of an impact since venturing down the handicap route. Drops back in trip/grade but he's an inconsistent maiden and others are more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (18/1 -125%) Imperial Sun |
18/1(-125%) | (11) Imperial Sun 18/1, Fairly useful on Flat and minor promise when fifth in a juvenile hurdle on sole start for Oliver Greenall in January 2022. No show both starts for new yard in March but improvement may well be forthcoming now making the switch to handicap company. Early days over hurdles but he needs to settle better if he's to have a future as a jumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (40/1 -150%) Horse Power |
40/1(-150%) | (7) Horse Power 40/1, Little impact in a couple of bumpers and the story has been the same in maiden/novice hurdles. Not beyond the realms of possibility that he'll be seen in a better light now handicapping but others preferred all the same. Still early days and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GETAMAN returned from a break to show improved form to fill the runner-up spot at Warwick over fences recently, when only beaten just over a length. He now switches to the smaller obstacles, which sees him race off a 10lb lower mark than his chase rating. Last-time-out winner Governor Green has to be respected, while Enthused and Getaway Tom complete the shortlist.
GETAMAN returned to action with a solid second in a handicap chase at Warwick where he pulled well clear of the rest and, if able to reproduce form akin to that back over hurdles off a 7 lb lower mark, he will surely go close. Next on the list is Getaway Tom, who shaped as though dropping back to this trip would be in his favour when fifth at Exeter. Governor Green, who did the job well at Bangor last month, and handicap-debutant Imperial Sun are others to consider.
The vote goes to the lightly raced 6yo GOVERNOR GREEN (nap), who came good with a clearcut win at Bangor and is open to more progress.

1st (5) (7/1 +30%) Steal My Sunshine |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Steal My Sunshine 7/1, Some encouragement in a pair of bumpers but has yet to make much of an impact in 4 starts over hurdles so far, down the field on handicap debut following a wind op at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces applied. With top yard and still early days in this sphere but he needs a transformation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/1 +23%) Lighthouse Mill |
5/1(+23%) | (9) Lighthouse Mill 5/1, Inconsistent to date but strung good runs together for the first time when close third at Fakenham (20f, good) 11 days ago, albeit having the run of the race. Should be competitive again if in the same mood. 0-12 over hurdles but he's been placed in last two starts and should make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (8/1 +50%) If Karl's Berg Did |
8/1(+50%) | (11) If Karl's Berg Did 8/1, Maiden handicap hurdler who is hard to catch right, stopping the slide somewhat in a falsely-run affair when fifth at Fakenham (20f, good) 11 days ago. Drops a further couple of pounds and dangerous if able to build on that effort. Well treated on old form but he's now 0-18 and was down the field at Fakenham last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 +0%) Can't Beat History |
5.5/1(+0%) | (4) Can't Beat History 5.5/1, Runner-up in an Irish bumper last spring and showed more than previously over hurdles switched to a handicap when head second at Doncaster (19.4f) in February. Again ran well when fifth at Southwell 3 months later and he's a major player if settling a touch better. Lightly raced 7yo who could resume his progress on this drop back in trip; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (33/1 +0%) Prison Break |
33/1(+0%) | (3) Prison Break 33/1, Out of sorts since Hereford fourth in November and has looked one with problems. Hopes pinned on first-time headgear sparking some sort of revival. Won at Ffos Las last June but he's been disappointing since and needs a major revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 +0%) The Knot Is Tied |
25/1(+0%) | (6) The Knot Is Tied 25/1, Fair winner over hurdles who returned to form from out the blue to open chase account at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December. However, only one effort of any note in handful of starts subsequently and he's a risky proposition. Reverts to hurdles. On dangerous mark on this switch back to hurdling but he needs another bolt from the blue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (3.33/1 +58%) Mount South |
3.33/1(+58%) | (8) Mount South 3.33/1, Fair form when in the frame in all 3 bumpers in 2021/22 and left his previous efforts over hurdles behind upped in trip for handicap debut when third over C&D in March. Hasn't kicked on since however, failing to complete the last twice when sent off as favourite. Has failed to complete in last two starts and he needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (7.5/1 -7%) Rock On Tommy |
7.5/1(-7%) | (7) Rock On Tommy 7.5/1, Scored over hurdles at this track last June and not disgraced on both outings over the larger obstacles on his next 2 starts. Shaped as if the run was needed back hurdling at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) in March and he's one to look out for with blinkers reapplied. Held in small-field handicaps in his last three starts and others are more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (7.5/1 +38%) Rebel Royal |
7.5/1(+38%) | (12) Rebel Royal 7.5/1, Just the one win over hurdles and that came more than 5 years ago. Mark continues to tumble but will need to hit the ground running after 6 months off to feature. 1-21 over hurdles and last win was in 2019; looks opposable on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (16/1 -33%) Rock The House |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Rock The House 16/1, Successful twice in handicaps in 2021 for Olly Murphy and back to form on stable debut when runner-up at Hereford (21.7f) last month. Below that level on both starts since, though, and the likelihood is that he will need this outing after 6 months off. Conditions are no problem but he needs to rediscover some spark after 184 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (33/1 -106%) Quality |
33/1(-106%) | (13) Quality 33/1, Looks poor at this stage and has hinted she may not be straightforward. Makes handicap debut from 8 lb out of the weights and best watched. Handicap newcomer but she's 8lb out of the weights and has plenty of work to do. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAN'T BEAT HISTORY showed up well last time at Southwell over 3m when fading into a respectable fifth, and he now takes a step back down in distance off a 1lb lower mark. In addition, that was only his fifth start over hurdles, so is likely to have more to come. Lighthouse Mill was beaten under a length in this grade last time and has been raised 2lb, which may keep him in contention. Boomtime Banker and Kilbrainy aren't ruled out either.
A few in with chances but CAN'T BEAT HISTORY has shaped up well on both outings in handicaps so, provided he can settle a touch better back down in trip, Henry Oliver's charge is selected to open his account. Boomtime Banker won both her starts last season and she may well emerge as the main danger if ready to roll after 8 months off, with Rock On Tommy and Lighthouse Mill others worth considering.
Preference is for CAN'T BEAT HISTORY, who looked stretched over 3m last time and could resume his progress back at this trip.

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.
