---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (10) (11/1 +31%) Tom O'roughley |
11/1(+31%) | (10) Tom O'roughley 11/1, Left below-par efforts behind when opening his account from 3 lb out of the weights at Worcester (23f) in September. However, well below that form at same course the following month and not seen since. Eventually off the mark under rules in September; off since a lesser effort in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (20/1 +50%) Junior Massini |
20/1(+50%) | (12) Junior Massini 20/1, Little form in varied events over hurdles, pulling up when last seen at Newton Abbot in June. 2 lb out of the handicap, on first attempt over fences, and can only be watched. 0-7 over hurdles when owner-trained; makes stable/chase debut after 346-day absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (20/1 -25%) Joey Steel |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Joey Steel 20/1, Dual handicap chase winner but unreliable, rather throwing it away when second at Newton Abbot in September and disappointed twice since. Best watched on return from 5 months off. Versatile regarding trip/ground but not seen since a poor run in early December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Natty Night |
7.5/1(-88%) | (3) Natty Night 7.5/1, Dual Flat/maiden hurdle winner who posted best effort yet over fences when second at Hereford (20.9f) in March. Not in same form at Ffos Las since, though, and tries longer trip now. Improved chasing form when second at Hereford in March but not at same level last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (12/1 +0%) Clear On Top |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Clear On Top 12/1, Fair form over fences and got off the mark in a weak race at Leicester (22.7f) in December. Failed to back that up at Huntingdon over Christmas, though, and something to prove on first outing since. Came good in four-runner race in December but that form looks modest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 -167%) Cobra Commander |
16/1(-167%) | (5) Cobra Commander 16/1, Showed improved form when winning brace of handicap chases at end of last season. Well below that form next 3 starts but stopped the slide when fourth at Taunton (23f) last month. Claims if building on that. Ran well to a point last month but it's a while since he showed his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (5/1 +0%) Furkash |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Furkash 5/1, Made the frame in 3 of his last 4 starts, latest when creditable third of 8 in handicap chase (18/5) at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Recent efforts not as good as form-figures suggest; needs to do a bit better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (5.5/1 +66%) Dawn Raider |
5.5/1(+66%) | (2) Dawn Raider 5.5/1, Now 2 lb below the mark off which he last hit the target at Leicester in March 2022 and took a step back in the right direction when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 22/1) 7 days ago. Warrants respect in first-time blinkers. Latest run was a step in the right direction; might be boosted by new headgear here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3.5/1 +42%) Spotty Dog |
3.5/1(+42%) | (1) Spotty Dog 3.5/1, All the sharper for his reappearance when getting off the mark in a Huntingdon handicap (23.6f) in January and went in again over same course in March. Arrives on back of good sixth over C&D and is one for shortlist. Inconsistent this year but has won twice; contender if in the right mood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Adamhill |
6.5/1(+28%) | (7) Adamhill 6.5/1, There were positives to take from his chase debut fifth at Leicester in February but he hasn't been in same form since and makes limited appeal. Tongue strap back on. Yet to be placed under rules but ran well over C&D in first-time visor last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (11/1 +45%) Earcomesbob |
11/1(+45%) | (11) Earcomesbob 11/1, Placed 3 times in 3m handicap chases in 2021-22 but yet to recapture that form. Easy enough to look elsewhere. 0-11 over fences; ran quite well two starts ago but has become very unreliable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, 6/1 (1) SPOTTY DOG seems to be the most consistent and reliable horse, having won twice and shown improvement in recent races. 5/1 (4) FURKASH and 6/1 (5) COBRA COMMANDER also have good recent form and are likely to be in the mix. Therefore, the predicted order of finish could be: 1. 6/1 (1) SPOTTY DOG 2. 5/1 (4) FURKASH 3. 6/1 (5) COBRA COMMANDER
FURKASH is now rated 1lb lower following a distant third over 2m7f at Taunton last month. He kept on late on that occasion, so he may appreciate a stiffer stamina test and the fact Harry Kimber knocks an addition 3lb off the eight-year-old's back only enhances his claims. Eurkash was headed approaching the last over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon most recently and can go well again, while Natty Night is another to bear in mind.
SPOTTY DOG is only 3 lb above his last winning mark and acquitted himself well over C&D last month. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking opener. Furkash and Dawn Raider are feared most.
The most appealing option is EURKASH, who ran well when third at Huntingdon last month despite tending to hang left.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (3.5/1 -75%) Glorious Fun |
3.5/1(-75%) | (2) Glorious Fun 3.5/1, Half-brother to 4 winners who offered plenty to work on when second of 9 in novice hurdle at this course (19f, good to soft) on NH debut 16 days ago, finishing with running left. Sets the standard. Well-bred 6yo who shaped with considerable promise when second here on recent debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (0.62/1 +67%) Supremely West |
0.62/1(+67%) | (5) Supremely West 0.62/1, Unplaced in points but made a winning Rules debut at Tramore in December. Switched to new yard thereafter and won bumpers at Huntingdon and Exeter in recent months. Looks a good prospect for hurdling. 3-3 in bumpers after two convincing wins for new stable this spring; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (50/1 -213%) Rascal |
50/1(-213%) | (4) Rascal 50/1, Too free when finishing sixth of 9 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, soft) on NH debut 61 days ago. Likely best watched on hurdles bow. Struggled in Stratford bumper on debut in March and can only be watched here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 +50%) Ilary de L'Ecu |
7/1(+50%) | (8) Ilary de L'Ecu 7/1, Fair form in pair of French bumpers in 2021. Not matched that for current yard but posted creditable third of 10 in novice hurdle (11/4) at Stratford (16.3f, soft) last month and holds each-way claims. Ran well from the front when placed at Stratford last month but this race is stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (28/1 -211%) Present De Vango |
28/1(-211%) | (3) Present De Vango 28/1, Shaped like a stayer when fifth of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Switches to hurdles now and is likely a longer-term prospect. Displayed promise in a point and a bumper but needs to improve here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -106%) Dexperado |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Dexperado 33/1, Never really involved when sixth of 9 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) on NH debut 96 days ago. Improvement needed on hurdles bow. Made fairly encouraging bumper debut but others have much stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (8.5/1 -70%) Pop Mistress |
8.5/1(-70%) | (9) Pop Mistress 8.5/1, Sixties Icon mare who looked a useful prospect when winning both her bumper starts in 2021. Not seen since but must be respected on return/hurdling debut, particularly if the market vibes are good. Won two bumpers in spring 2021 but this hurdle debut comes after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (28/1 -12%) Harthill |
28/1(-12%) | (7) Harthill 28/1, Well held in bumpers and been a similar story in both outings over timber thus far. Looks one for handicaps down the line. Kept on for modest fourth at Stratford last month; probably one for handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, it seems that 2/1 (2) GLORIOUS FUN and 1.88/1 (5) SUPREMELY WEST have the strongest claims. Therefore, they are most likely to finish in the top three. As for the third spot, 14/1 (8) ILARY DE L'ECU has each-way claims and may be a good contender. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is as follows: 1. 2/1 (2) GLORIOUS FUN 2. 1.88/1 (5) SUPREMELY WEST 3. 14/1 (8) ILARY DE L'ECU
GLORIOUS FUN made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over 2m3f at this track last month. He cannot be taken lightly for powerful connections and is fancied to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Supremely West is unbeaten under Rules and must enter calculations on his hurdling bow, along with Pop Mistress, even though she hasn't been seen since June 2021.
There should be plenty more to come from GLORIOUS FUN, who made a very encouraging start in this sphere at this course last month. He is preferred to hurdling debutants Supremely West and Pop Mistress, both of whom boast unbeaten records in bumpers.
The pick is SUPREMELY WEST, who looked a good prospect when ending last season with two bumper wins for his new stable.

1st (3) (0.4/1 +45%) Soldierofthestorm |
0.4/1(+45%) | (3) Soldierofthestorm 0.4/1, Has plenty of scope and ran to a fair level first time up when third in 12-runner Ascot bumper (15.7f) in October, keeping on inside final 1f. Improved a little on that form when runner-up at Hereford 5 months later and of strong interest on hurdle debut. Fairly useful form when twice placed in bumpers; interesting now going hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +50%) Jet Of Dreams |
6/1(+50%) | (1) Jet Of Dreams 6/1, Cosy winner of sole start in Irish points. Underwhelming so far under Rules but did show a bit more on the back of a breathing operation when fourth in 11-runner novice at Fontwell (21.8f) 3 days ago. Back down in trip. Irish point winner but he's shown only modest form in two maiden hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (50/1 -52%) Rockette |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Rockette 50/1, Tailed off in 2 bumpers last season. Has had a breathing operation since. Has beaten just one rival in two bumpers; subsequent wind op needs to spark improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (25/1 +50%) Jimmy Boum |
25/1(+50%) | (5) Jimmy Boum 25/1, 150/1, offered little in a junior bumper at Kempton (16f, heavy) on debut 56 days ago. 11th in Kempton bumper 56 days ago; looks one for the longer term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4.5/1 -139%) Designer Destiny |
4.5/1(-139%) | (7) Designer Destiny 4.5/1, Fair form in bumpers and has shown a similar level of form over hurdles, including after 14 months off when second in Catterick maiden (15.7f) in March 2021. Not seen since but sets the clear standard. Off 2 years since 2nd in Catterick novice hurdle; good claims if tuned up for comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (20/1 -11%) Indelible Spin |
20/1(-11%) | (8) Indelible Spin 20/1, Just modest form in bumpers and well held completed start over hurdles. Twice third in bumpers but she has offered little in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 +67%) Allez Allez Dancer |
33/1(+67%) | (6) Allez Allez Dancer 33/1, Eastern Anthem mare. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including 9.5f/10.5f winner in France Miss Mome. Unplaced sole start in point bumpers (Apr 2022). Well-held fifth in a point bumper last April; needs to take a big step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (150/1 +25%) Look Out To Sea |
150/1(+25%) | (2) Look Out To Sea 150/1, Pulled up in- a point last spring and has been beaten miles both starts under Rules (bumper/maiden hurdle). Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Pulled up in 2m Taunton novice on his hurdling debut in March; lots more is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as many of the horses have shown only modest or underwhelming form in their previous races. However, 0.73/1 (3) SOLDIEROFTHESTORM and 1.88/1 (7) DESIGNER DESTINY seem to be the most promising based on their previous performances and potential for improvement. Therefore, they may have a higher chance of finishing in the top three. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and the outcome can be influenced by many factors such as weather conditions, jockey performance, and race tactics.
Placed on both career starts in bumpers, SOLDIEROFTHESTORM looks the one to side with on his hurdling bow in a fairly weak contest. The gelded son of Soldier Of Fortune finished two and a quarter lengths behind the winner at Hereford last month and rates a key contender with that run in mind. Designer Destiny arrives in this following a long layoff but seems the biggest threat, while Jet Of Dreams completes the shortlist.
A likely match between SOLDIEROFTHESTORM and Designer Destiny. The former has shown plenty in a brace of bumpers 5 months apart and has the scope to do well over jumps, so he's narrowly preferred to the latter, who has a long absence to overcome.
Jonjo O'Neill's SOLDIEROFTHESTORM has shown fairly useful form when placed in bumpers and looks the way to go on his hurdling debut

1st (1) (3.5/1 -86%) William Of York |
3.5/1(-86%) | (1) William Of York 3.5/1, Going the right way in handicaps, off the mark at Wetherby (2m, soft) in March and well on top finish when following up over 20.7f trip at Huntingdon. Up 5 lb but this 7-y-o probably has more to offer. 2-2 since switched to a front-running role and he's open to more progress; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (8/1 +33%) Talimar Pearl |
8/1(+33%) | (6) Talimar Pearl 8/1, Appeared to take a step back in the right direction when second (albeit beaten 20 lengths by the winner) in a Newton Abbot handicap (16.8f, soft) last month. Still, he will need to step up on that in order to go one better here. Well held when runner-up at Newton Abbot last time and needs improvement back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +30%) Kankin |
3.5/1(+30%) | (5) Kankin 3.5/1, Runner-up both starts in bumpers and arguably posted his best effort yet in this sphere when third of 9 in a C&D novice (good to soft) recently. That falsely-run race didn't play to his strengths and, likely to benefit from a stronger pace to aim at on this handicap debut, he's one to consider. Placed in his last two hurdle runs including over C&D latest; in the mix on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Forget The Way |
5.5/1(+8%) | (2) Forget The Way 5.5/1, Struggled in bumpers but has shown a fair level of ability in maiden/novice hurdles during the autumn/winter. Failed to step up when making handicap debut at Newbury (16.3f, good to firm) last time but since undergone a wind op and this step up in trip looks a good move. Has had wind surgery and he looks a possible improver at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (28/1 +0%) Nordy Lordy |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Nordy Lordy 28/1, Winner of sole start between the flags but hasn't shown much under Rules so far. Has struggled over hurdles and was pulled up on his handicap debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (6.5/1 +70%) Merveillo |
6.5/1(+70%) | (8) Merveillo 6.5/1, Useful on the Flat (stays 16.5f) and shaped better than the distance beaten when third on debut in this sphere at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) in November. Has offered little since, though, including switched to handicaps the last twice. Represents major connections but he's been tailed off switched to handicaps last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (40/1 -122%) Of Corse I Can |
40/1(-122%) | (7) Of Corse I Can 40/1, Encouraging Rules debut when runner-up in a 2½m Ffos Las novice last June but it would be something of an understatement to say that he has failed to build on that in 4 subsequent starts. Overall record of 0-9 and has struggled in both his handicaps; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Benefact |
4.5/1(+0%) | (3) Benefact 4.5/1, Mid-field in a bumper and very much caught the eye on second start over hurdles when third at Newbury in February. However, beaten a long way here (2m, soft) next time and improvement needed back up in trip for this handicap debut. Unexposed handicap newcomer and he needs watching in market for leading yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (33/1 +0%) Emberscombe |
33/1(+0%) | (10) Emberscombe 33/1, Down the field in a bumper and 3 novice hurdles. Will need to leave those efforts well behind if she's to play a leading role on this handicap debut. Soundly beaten in all four runs and is 6lb out of the weights on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (40/1 -82%) Mistertommyshelby |
40/1(-82%) | (11) Mistertommyshelby 40/1, Little in the way of solid form to date and, absent since January 2022, he looks set for another struggle from 7 lb out of the handicap. Nine-race maiden and this looks tough from out of the weights after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (20/1 -43%) Hitthekettle |
20/1(-43%) | (4) Hitthekettle 20/1, Took 7 tries to win an Irish point and hasn't shown a great deal in 3 starts under Rules (maiden/novice) to date. Entirely possible that he'll be seen in a better light now handicapping but others make more appeal all the same. Wasn't beaten far in a C&D novice last time and this is more realistic on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Predictions: 1st - 2.25/1 (1) WILLIAM OF YORK 2nd - 4.5/1 (5) KANKIN 3rd - 6.5/1 (2) FORGET THE WAY 2.25/1 (1) WILLIAM OF YORK has been performing well in his recent races and is open to more progress. 4.5/1 (5) KANKIN has been placing in his recent hurdle runs and is likely to benefit from a stronger pace in this handicap debut. 6.5/1 (2) FORGET THE WAY has had wind surgery and the step up in trip looks like a good move for him to potentially improve.
WILLIAM OF YORK has been in terrific form of late and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards as he looks to overcome a 5lb rise for a taking win at Huntingdon last month. Benefact could be off a decent mark on his handicap debut, while Forget The Way is another who could improve for the step up in trip.
The vote goes to KANKIN, who did well under the circumstances when third in a C&D maiden recently and he can be expected to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap for the first time. The hat-trick seeking William of York and Forget The Way, who shapes as though this stiffer test will be in his favour, rate the main dangers. Merveillo would be threat if able to get back on track but it's a significant 'if'.
Top of the list is Dan Skelton's WILLIAM OF YORK, who has come good with front-running wins in the last two of his three handicaps.

1st (3) (1.38/1 +45%) Young Buster |
1.38/1(+45%) | (3) Young Buster 1.38/1, Fair 2m4f winner over hurdles who posted a good fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (24.3f, good) 22 days ago. Goes over fences now and highly respected. Point/hurdle winner who should have a future at this new discipline; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.25/1 -171%) Quid Pro Quo |
2.25/1(-171%) | (1) Quid Pro Quo 2.25/1, 10/3, got off the mark over fences with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Weighted to follow up despite taking a 7 lb rise. Really got his act together over fences with a comfortable win at Southwell; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Blue Stello |
2.75/1(+39%) | (2) Blue Stello 2.75/1, Very lightly-raced winning hurdler. Runner-up in sole Irish point so there should be more to come now he goes chasing. Very lightly raced 7yo but was pulled up latest and has something to prove on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 +14%) Gentle Connections |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Gentle Connections 12/1, Four-time winner over hurdles in first half of 2022 but she has struggled since, including on her chasing debut when remote fifth in C&D handicap 12 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Multiple hurdle winner but has lost her way and was well held over C&D on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, 0.83/1 (1) QUID PRO QUO and 2.5/1 (3) YOUNG BUSTER seem to have the strongest chance of doing well in the race. Therefore, it is predicted that they will finish in the top two positions. For the third position, 4.5/1 (2) BLUE STELLO seems to have potential as a lightly-raced winning hurdler with experience in Irish point-to-points, so it is predicted that he will finish in third place.
QUID PRO QUO put it together when scoring at the fourth attempt over fences at Southwell and there should be plenty more to come from Dan Skelton's charge in this winnable contest. A winner here over hurdles, Blue Stello has proved difficult to get to the track but he has ability and must be considered, along with chase debutant Young Buster.
QUID PRO QUO took a big step forward when opening his chasing account at Southwell and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Fergal O'Brien's Young Buster could emerge as the chief threat to Dan Skelton's 7-y-o ahead of fellow chasing debutant Blue Stello.
This can go to QUID PRO QUO, who really got his act together over fences when scoring in smooth style at Southwell 15 days ago.

1st (3) (8/1 +33%) I Spy A Diva |
8/1(+33%) | (3) I Spy A Diva 8/1, Won 3 on the bounce at up to 3m during the autumn and excuses when well held at Kempton in December. Firmly back on track with a good third in a listed race at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) last month but her mark as suffered as a consequence. Won three times last autumn and even better form when third in Listed race last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +43%) Red Dirt Road |
2/1(+43%) | (1) Red Dirt Road 2/1, Successful on sole start in Irish points and easy winner on handicap debut at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) in March. Didn't disgrace himself upped to 20.2f in a Cheltenham novice next time, albeit without really convincing that he wants this sort of trip. 2-4 over hurdles; fourth in good Cheltenham novice when upped to 2m4f last month; a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +38%) Bertie Blue |
5/1(+38%) | (8) Bertie Blue 5/1, Showed plenty in bumpers/maiden hurdles and left disappointing handicap debut display well behind when accounting for 12 rivals in decisive fashion at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) recently. Up 8 lb for that but he can hardly be described as exposed. Slammed progressive rival by 7l at Southwell last month and still has low mileage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (20/1 -11%) Midnight Ginger |
20/1(-11%) | (6) Midnight Ginger 20/1, Likeable mare who added to her tally in 2m Newbury handicap on New Year's Eve. Not at her best the last twice, though, and she looks vulnerable once more. Won off this mark in December but ended last season with two below-par runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (2.5/1 -53%) Wiseguy |
2.5/1(-53%) | (5) Wiseguy 2.5/1, Winner of sole start in bumpers and off the mark at second attempt over hurdles in a 24.4f Doncaster maiden in December 2021. Good second to a well-handicapped rival back from 11 months at Cheltenham (21f, good) in November and he remains open to improvement. Ran very well in defeat on handicap debut at Cheltenham in November; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 -38%) Restitution |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Restitution 11/1, Wide-margin winner of a 2m Doncaster handicap over Christmas. Struggled next 2 starts but step back up in trip helped when third of 13 at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) last month and should be in the mix if responding well to the first-time cheekpieces. Back in form when third at Wincanton in April; still unexposed over this trip; headgear on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 -7%) Abuffalosoldier |
8/1(-7%) | (2) Abuffalosoldier 8/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who stepped up on his comeback run to make first start at 3m a winning one at Newbury in November. Hasn't built on that in 3 subsequent starts but there were encouraging enough signs at Cheltenham last month and dropping back in trip here could be a good move. Landed a good prize in November but wasn't at best on final two starts last season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
1st - 1.63/1 (5) WISEGUY, 2nd - 7.5/1 (4) RESTITUTION, 3rd - 8/1 (8) BERTIE BLUE
Now that the penny has dropped for BERTIE BLUE after an impressive win at Southwell last month, he must hold every chance of following up off an 8lb higher mark. The six-year-old still receives weight from the rest of his rivals, which could prove key in his bid to see off the likes of Red Dirt Road and Wiseguy, who returns from a 182-day absence. I Spy A Diva and Restitution are entitled to be thereabouts too.
The unexposed WISEGUY put in a good shift when runner-up back from 11 months off at Cheltenham in November and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to go one better here. Restitution's latest effort at Wincanton represented a step back in the right direction and he could be the one for the forecast. Abuffalosoldier and Bertie Blue are others to consider.
This competitive handicap can go to WISEGUY, who was an honourable second on his handicap debut at Cheltenham in the autumn.

1st (6) (8.5/1 +29%) Gentleman Valley |
8.5/1(+29%) | (6) Gentleman Valley 8.5/1, Made a successful switch to handicaps at Uttoxeter in September. Hasn't progressed since but possibly still needed the run following a winter break when fourth at Southwell (24.3f) last month. In good form last autumn but not at the same level the last twice; has to raise his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5.5/1 +39%) Nickelsonthedime |
5.5/1(+39%) | (9) Nickelsonthedime 5.5/1, Opened his account in a C&D handicap in May 2022. Form has been up and down since, though he did run creditably after 9 weeks off when third at Chepstow (23.6f) recently. Sole rules win came over C&D and he was a fair third last time; holds each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (3.33/1 +56%) Sadler's Bay |
3.33/1(+56%) | (12) Sadler's Bay 3.33/1, Showed ability in maiden/novice company and shaped better than the bare result upped in trip when fifth of 8 in 25f handicap at Carlisle (soft) 48 days ago, finishing with running left. Unexposed over this trip and one to be interested in from a workable mark. Handy 7-lb conditional also takes over. Fair fifth last time; lightly raced and could build on that, but he needs to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (12/1 +0%) Lunar Contact |
12/1(+0%) | (10) Lunar Contact 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track after a couple of lesser efforts when third of 7 on handicap debut at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm, 14/1) 22 days ago, despite hanging right. Worth a try over this longer trip. Promising third on handicap debut and shaped as though he'd benefit from this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +42%) Langley Hundred |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Langley Hundred 7/1, Dual 23f winner in November and back on track with a pair of respectable efforts this spring. Should remain competitive. Beaten on last three starts but fair efforts the last twice and might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4/1 -45%) Grillon De Monty |
4/1(-45%) | (2) Grillon De Monty 4/1, Bounced back to form to open his account for current yard in 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 27 days ago, benefiting from a marked change of tactics. Nudged up 6 lb but handy 5-lb conditional offsets most of that. Of interest again. Won by 6l at Huntingdon last month and a 6lb rise isn't harsh; firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (11/1 -57%) Enjoy Your Life |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Enjoy Your Life 11/1, Fairly useful ex-French winning hurdler who stepped up plenty on his British/stable debut when second in 9-runner handicap at Wincanton (21.4f) last month. Upped further in trip. Ex-French 6yo who was an encouraging runner-up on second stable start and he's a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (12/1 +45%) State Of Fame |
12/1(+45%) | (3) State Of Fame 12/1, Bumper winner and fair maiden hurdler for Ross O'Sullivan in Ireland. Shaped as though in need of the run after 7 months off on last month's stable debut but has plenty on back in handicap company from his current mark. Irish bumper winner; 0-8 over hurdles and needs improvement to defy current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (8/1 -60%) Imperial B G |
8/1(-60%) | (8) Imperial B G 8/1, Fair bumper winner who belatedly matched that form over hurdles when second in 10-runner handicap at Haydock (24.3f) last month, despite slightly going in snatches. Likely has more to offer when the penny drops. Back to form when second at Haydock and key player if he's on song once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (25/1 -127%) Barricane |
25/1(-127%) | (4) Barricane 25/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps in 2021 but an 18-month absence has to be a concern for all he's in good hands. First run since November 2021 but he won his last two; trainer can ready one after absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to make a confident prediction about which horse will win. However, the following horses are likely contenders for the top three positions: 1st: 5/1 (8) IMPERIAL B G 2nd: 3/1 (2) GRILLON DE MONTY 3rd: 8/1 (12) SADLER'S BAY
GRILLON DE MONTY was an easy victor in this grade latest and has been raised 6lb in the weights for that success. That was only his third start over hurdles for the Dan Skelton yard, which suggests he could have more to offer and he is fancied to double up. The main threat looks to be Imperial B G, who was only beaten a length and a half last time into second at Haydock. Enjoy Your Life is another to note.
An open handicap but SADLER'S BAY ran well on his first try at this trip at Carlisle in March and promised a bit more still, with late errors holding him back. Therefore, his performance can be marked up and with a good-value conditional now taking over in the saddle, he's fancied to confirm the promise of that run. Imperial B G still looked a bit raw when runner-up at Haydock and can improve again when the penny drops, with last-time-out scorer Grillon de Monty completing the shortlist.
3m point winner LUNAR CONTACT displayed staying potential when keeping on for third over 2m3f on last month's handicap debut.

8.5/1(-89%) | (4) Saint Jaguen 8.5/1, Given a considerate introduction when fifth in Hereford bumper in November. Has since undergone wind surgery and also wears a first-time tongue tie. Can't be ruled out. Better was expected at Hereford; had wind surgery and now tongue tied.. |

66/1(+0%) | (9) Kingoftheswingerz 66/1, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Flemings Dream and fair chaser Head On. Betting can prove a good indicator. Related to winners of hurdles, chases and bumpers but unlikely to be the answer on debut.. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
1st: Easy winner of sole start between the flags last spring and he looked a good prospect when readily landing bumper at Huntingdon 33 days ago. 2nd: 28/1 (6) ULTRA BEAT, Third to an impressive winner here in March and that gives him strong form claims. 3rd: 5/1 (10) KINTAIL, Blue Bresil gelding who made a promising start when second of 5 in bumper (85/40) at Wincanton 27 days ago. Firmly in the picture with better to come.
Rock House won on his debut under Rules at Huntingdon and now has to carry a 7lb penalty, which could leave the door open for IDEAL DES BORDES. The son of Coastal Path won a point-to-point in Ireland and could be well up to the task on his Rules debut under Nico de Boinville. Saint Jaguen is of interest as he sports a first-time tongue-tie and returns to action after undergoing a wind operation.
ROCK HOUSE looked a good prospect when impressively landing a Huntingdon bumper last month and is taken to successfully concede weight all round. Nicky Henderson's Irish point winner Ideal des Bordes and promising Wincanton second Kintail both command plenty of respect though. Saint Jaguen and I'd Go Maniac are two more to consider in an interesting bumper.
Despite Kintail shaping with promise on his debut Nico De Boinville has jumped ship to stablemate IDEAL DES BORDES.

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.
