(6)  (8/11 +27%)Onlyamatteroftime |
8/11(+27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Onlyamatteroftime 8/11, Bumper winner for N. Madden but hasn't been the most straightforward over hurdles. However, he produced his best effort for his current yard when runner-up in handicap at Ballinrobe (22.4f) last month. Holds leading claims back in maiden company. By no means straightforward but he brings strong form credentials back into a maiden. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 -45%)G A Henty |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) G A Henty 4/1, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who shaped well on first run since leaving Tom George when second in a maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) in January. Possibly unsuited by conditions in handicaps both starts since, so he's worth another chance back on less testing ground. Feasible excuses in two handicaps since going close in a Market Rasen maiden. |
|||
(2)  (7/1 -17%)Espoir Des Forges |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Espoir Des Forges 7/1, Sent off favourite when pulled up only start in points and was again prominent in the betting (10/3) on his hurdling debut, showing ability when third of 14 in maiden at this C&D last month. Enters calculations with his yard in good form. Fair third over C&D last month but looks vulnerable here from a win perspective. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 -29%)Minella Miracle |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Minella Miracle 9/1, Runner-up on last of 3 starts in Irish points but just modest form in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher. After 5 months off, in need of the experience when third in maiden at Stratford (16.3f) on hurdling/stable debut 13 days ago, so he could take a step forward. Stepping up from 2m should suit but he needs to improve on his Stratford form. |
|||
(11)  (16/1 +52%)St Just In Time |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) St Just In Time 16/1, Fair maiden on the level (stays 10f) and showed more than previously over hurdles when third in maiden at Wincanton (15.2f) a month ago. Could still have more to offer as he learns with experience in this sphere. Unlikely that a repeat of his improved third at Wincanton will see him take this. |
|||
(5)  (22/1 -38%)Nowmelad |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nowmelad 22/1, Point winner who ran to a modest level both starts in bumpers, again racing freely after 7 months off when fourth of 11 at this course (16f) 27 days ago. Improvement required as he goes hurdling. Bumper form is no strong advert for his prospects here on hurdling debut. |
|||
(1)  (100/1 +0%)Carrickfergus |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Carrickfergus 100/1, Made the frame both completed outings in points but has offered little in 2 starts over hurdles, pulled up in a Fontwell maiden (21.8f) a fortnight ago. Best watched. Pulled up in a British point and has shown nothing in two runs over hurdles. |
|||
(8)  (100/1 +0%)Victoria Line |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Victoria Line 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) who was last seen finishing mid-field in a Newcastle handicap (16.2f) in October 2021. Has lengthy absence to overcome switched to hurdling on first run for yard after leaving Mark Walford. 0-7 on the Flat and modest; makes hurdling debut after a long absence. |
|||
(7)  (125/1 -25%)Politicianspromise |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Politicianspromise 125/1, Tailed off in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in 2021 and won once from 10 starts in points subsequently. Fared no better making first start for his current yard when down the field in a Ffos Las novice (21.9f) 15 days ago. Looks to be up against it. At 150-1 he was tailed off in his second run over hurdles at Ffos Las. |
|||
(9)  (150/1 -50%)After Midnight |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) After Midnight 150/1, In need of experience in 2 bumpers but has failed to complete both starts in maiden hurdles, losing touch before 2 out when pulled up at Hereford (19.7f) last time. Easy enough to look elsewhere. After an early departure on her hurdling debut she was pulled at Hereford when 125-1. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ONLYAMATTEROFTIME could quite justify even-money when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m6f in a Ballinrobe handicap last month and the drop in trip looks a good move. Willie Mullins' eight-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 115 and he is difficult to oppose back in maiden company. G A Henty could only manage fifth in a class 3 handicap at Huntingdon but needs to be respected against this level of opposition. Espoir Des Forges is another to consider after his third over C&D.
ONLYAMATTEROFTIME ran his most encouraging race since joining Willie Mullins when second in a Ballinrobe handicap last time and he could be ready to go one better for his leading yard. G A Henty has possibly found the ground softer than ideal on his last 2 starts so is feared most back on a sounder surface, ahead of Espoir des Forges.
The Mullins raider ONLYAMATTEROFTIME isn't one for the faint-hearted given his quirks but the ability is there to win a maiden.

(5)  (11/4 -10%)Symbolic Spirit |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Symbolic Spirit 11/4, Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy. Off 7 months when respectable third on Fakenham stable debut in March but disappointing when pulled up at Huntingdon (11/8) 17 days later. Still early days for this top yard. Now 0-13 but she should have a handicap in her off this sort of mark. |
|||
(6)  (3/1 +40%)City Roller |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) City Roller 3/1, Maiden who has run better with a tongue tie added to her visor the last twice, finishing second of 8 over 18.5f at Stratford latest. Likely to be competitive again. Modest and exposed maiden but found only one too good under a positive ride at Stratford. |
|||
(7)  (7/2 +46%)No More Bolero |
7/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) No More Bolero 7/2, Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Hinted at promise on the first of 3 starts over hurdles in February/March. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to a handicap from a mark which could be lenient judged on Flat ability. Useful on the Flat; makes his handicap debut after wind surgery; retains potential. |
|||
(3)  (15/2 -7%)Come To Pass |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Come To Pass 15/2, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) and similar form over hurdles, although recent Hereford fourth was creditable and Brian Hughes takes over in the saddle now. Beaten under 9l on his switch to handicaps at Hereford and Brian Hughes takes over. |
|||
(1)  (15/2 +17%)Thurley |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thurley 15/2, Just modest form to date over hurdles, including a couple of handicaps. Wears a hood for the first time now. Beaten about 20l in his first two handicaps and he's now fitted with a hood. |
|||
(10)  (8/1 -33%)Dragonball Prince |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dragonball Prince 8/1, Ended his time on the Flat (for Hugo Palmer) out of form. No real promise in 3 hurdles for current yard either but low-grade handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance. One to keep a close eye on in the betting. Beaten 35l+ so far over hurdles but handicaps may see him in a better light. |
|||
(2)  (9/1 +18%)Crews Pitch |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crews Pitch 9/1, Poor form. Switched trainer again prior to last of 5 in Plumpton novice handicap in March. Now has a tongue strap refitted with cheekpieces added for the first time. Could only consider if backed. Lightly raced maiden but having raced just twice in nearly two years he's a risky one. |
|||
(11)  (12/1 +64%)My Mate Polly |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) My Mate Polly 12/1, No promise in bumpers. Showed more than previously in this sphere when fourth in a juvenile at Hereford last month but had the run of things. Unseated first on handicap debut since. 100-1 when departing early in a Ludlow handicap ten days ago. |
|||
(8)  (16/1 +52%)Secret Sauce |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Secret Sauce 16/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since, including well held in 2 handicaps this spring. Some form commands attention but he's yet to really get going for current yard. |
|||
(4)  (20/1 -67%)Record Art |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Record Art 20/1, Modest form, fading in the closing stages when 4 lengths sixth of 10 on Market Rasen handicap debut 12 days ago. Still a maiden but latest fourth on handicap debut at Market Rasen brings him into it. |
|||
(9)  (200/1 -100%)Delightful Guest |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Delightful Guest 200/1, Showed just poor form over hurdles in Ireland in 2019/20 and pulled up both starts for current yard. Big outsider. An 11yo with very low mileage; form to date isn't good enough and she's not improving. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CITY ROLLER finished more than two lengths clear of the third over an extended 2m2f at Stratford earlier in the month and is only 2lb higher. The six-year-old may appreciate this drop in distance and he can go one better, with his main threat possibly Come To Pass, who was a fair fourth at Hereford and more can be expected under Brian Hughes off 2lb lower. Of the remainder, No More Bolero makes the most appeal on his handicap debut over hurdles.
A wind operation and a sounder surface are a couple of reasons why pretty useful German Flat performer NO MORE BOLERO might step up on his previous hurdle efforts now handicapping for the first time. Recent Stratford runner-up City Roller should get involved again, while Symbolic Spirit disappointed when favourite at Huntingdon last time but is the sort who could click for Dan Skelton before too long.
There could be a good run in NO MORE BOLERO, who has had wind surgery ahead of his handicap debut and he was useful on the Flat.

(6)  (4/1 +20%)Steal My Sunshine |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Steal My Sunshine 4/1, Pair of handicap hurdle wins in the first half of last season. No impact over fences this spring but wasn't disgraced back over hurdles when fifth of 14 at this course (25f, good to soft) 16 days ago. 8 lb lower back over fences so certainly worth a second look. Below par since returning from wind surgery, including in two handicap chases. |
|||
(12)  (4/1 +43%)Hold Your Fort |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Hold Your Fort 4/1, Showed little in four hurdling starts in September/October 2022 but won 3 of last 4 starts in points. Offered a bit more than previously contesting his first handicap after nearly a year off when fifth at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to soft) recently so needs keeping an eye on now sent chasing. Three-time point winner; now hooded and worth a second look on chase debut. |
|||
(7)  (9/2 +31%)Getupearly |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getupearly 9/2, Modest hurdler who shaped a bit better than the result when sixth of 15 at this course (24f, good) on chasing debut last month. Mark looks potentially lenient if he can build on that. Well handicapped on hurdling best; could easily improve on a fair recent chase debut here. |
|||
(8)  (5/1 -11%)Coconut Twist |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Coconut Twist 5/1, Yet to get his head in front under Rules but returned in excellent form last season, runner-up for the fifth consecutive time at Southwell (20.4f, good) 10 months ago. Got off mark in points at fourth attempt in January, so he interesting on chase bow. Often thereabouts hurdling; goes chasing after winning a Larkhill point as he liked. |
|||
(3)  (7/1 -56%)Phil De Pail |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Phil De Pail 7/1, Failed to show much in 3 starts over hurdles since returning from a lengthy absence in February and having been towards the head of the betting for his chase debut, was let down by his jumping when unseating mid-race at this course (24f, good) 11 days ago. Too soon to write him off. Just about in front when unseating six out on his recent chase debut here over 3m. |
|||
(9)  (17/2 +15%)File Illico |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) File Illico 17/2, Won 4 times during a very productive first season over fences in 2021/22 but more miss than hit since, running poorly on his last 2 starts including when pulled up at Warwick 27 days ago. Others more persuasive as he goes markedly up in trip. Four-time chase winner but at around 2m; continues to glide down the ratings. |
|||
(4)  (17/2 +53%)Conceroe |
17/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Conceroe 17/2, Off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Fakenham (21.2f) in November 2022. Off 15 months subsequently and proved better for his return when second of 4 at the same course (29.1f, good to soft) in March. Tailed off the last twice however, so bounce back required. Inconsistent and just one effort of note to his name since back from an absence. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 +38%)Head On |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Head On 10/1, Won 3 times in early stages of the 2021-22 campaign (including over C&D) and has shaped better than the result a couple of times over fences last term. Produced a terrible round of jumping last month but has been given a serious chance by the assessor. Could be worth chancing. Has struggled to get anything going since returning from a long absence. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -14%)Kadex |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kadex 16/1, Won a poor race at Plumpton October but nothing to write home about of late, failing to complete for a fourth successive start back there (25.7f, good to soft) just over 7 weeks ago. Cheekpieces quickly back on but best watched. 1-7 over fences; let down by his jumping with three pull-ups and a fall. |
|||
(13)  (16/1 +0%)Cobra Commander |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Cobra Commander 16/1, Showed improved form when winning brace of handicap chases in April 2022 but has drawn a blank since. Inconsistent and his mark is in freefall. 0-11 since last win; still runs well now and again but rain wouldn't be welcomed. |
|||
(11)  (18/1 +55%)Doyens De Ante |
18/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Doyens De Ante 18/1, In good form last spring, scoring at Chepstow and following up at Huntingdon. Has offered precious little since returning from 8 months off in January so can only be watched at present. Blinkers applied. Has lost his way but always a chance that the new blinkers might trigger something. |
|||
(10)  (22/1 +33%)Touch Tight |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Touch Tight 22/1, Still yet to get his head in front under Rules but shaped better than last time back up in trip when fifth at Fontwell (26f, good) a fortnight ago. Mark drops another 4 lb and others look stronger. Struggled in 2m3f/3m2f handicap chases on good ground since returning to rules. |
|||
(1)  (25/1 +0%)Presenting Jeremy |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Presenting Jeremy 25/1, Made winning Rules debut in a Worcester novice hurdle in spring 2021. Better for chase debut when third at Southwell final 2022/23 start but no impact on all 3 outings for new yard last season (sold out of Dan Skelton's yard for only £5,500). Mark continues to tumble. 0-5 over fences after his second successive non-completion at Southwell. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
STEAL MY SUNSHINE maintained a wide trip when finishing fifth over hurdles here recently, but he is worth another try over the bigger obstacles. The seven-year-old has Harry Skelton back on board and is comparatively well treated. The main threat might be Hold Your Fort, who makes just his second start for the Debra Hamer yard, and the first-time hood could eke out improvement for him to get closer. Phil De Pail is another to note.
An open-looking staying contest and it could be worth chancing C&D winner HEAD ON, who had a few jumping issues last season but the assessor has given him a serious chance. Coconut Twist got off the mark in points at the fourth attempt in January so he can provide most resistance making his chase debut, with Steal My Sunshine and Phil de Pail taken to fight out third.
An open handicap. GETUPEARLY made a fairly encouraging start over fences here last month after getting behind early.

(2)  (2/1 +0%)She's A Saint |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) She's A Saint 2/1, Irish point winner who was verging on useful over hurdles in 2022/23, resuming winning ways on the back of a pair runner-up efforts in listed company at Ffos Las (15.8f). Found only one too good in good company after and though off a year, she's in top hands. Mark could be lenient Long-time absent but if as good as she was then this mark should be very manageable. |
|||
(3)  (2/1 -14%)Finest View |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Finest View 2/1, Won 4 on the bounce for this yard in spring 2022 but not at the same level for Andrew Martin last year. However, her mark has dropped as a result and she made her second start back with Alan King a winning one at Stratford. 2 lb rise very fair. Won with a bit up her sleeve at Stratford and should be bang there off just 2lb higher. |
|||
(4)  (5/2 +44%)Tedley |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tedley 5/2, Wincanton maiden winner in February and hit the frame in a brace of handicaps this spring, latterly in cheekpieces. More needed to defy his mark, though. Solid the last twice; handicapped about right but James Turner takes off 7lb this time. |
|||
(1)  (15/2 -36%)Jungle Jack |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jungle Jack 15/2, Developed into a useful handicap hurdler last season and left his disappointing reappearance effort well behind following a wind op when going close at Kelso (2m, soft) in February. Couple of heavy defeats have followed but this is an easier race. Needs a revival but he's on his last winning mark should the blinkers help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A 2lb rise for last month's Stratford victory looks more than workable for FINEST VIEW. Alan King's mare appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up and she could make light work of this small-field affair. She's A Saint was a useful performer during the 2022/2023 season, although the seven-year-old must prove her well-being on this return from a 445-day absence. With that in mind, recent Hexham fourth Tedley may give the selection most to think about.
It took FINEST VIEW just 2 runs upon rejoining Alan King to resume winning ways at Stratford a month ago and a 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. The interesting rival is She's A Saint, who returns from over a year off but is in top hands and the assessor may have taken a chance with her opening mark.
Any of the quartet could quite easily win but TEDLEY is perhaps the safest option and James Turner's claim is very much welcomed.

(2)  (6/5 +47%)Home Free |
6/5(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Home Free 6/5, Scored over hurdles in 2m novice at Lingfield in March and made an encouraging start over fences when second of 7 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. In the mix. Went chasing 11 days ago at Kelso and he jumped well en route to a narrow defeat. |
|||
(4)  (5/2 +17%)God's Own Getaway |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) God's Own Getaway 5/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who made a successful chasing debut in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in April. Backed it up with a very good second of 7 over C&D 16 days ago. Form been franked so he's a player. First and second in his two chases; up the weights but jumps well and he's solid. |
|||
(3)  (11/4 +8%)Hardy Boy |
11/4(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hardy Boy 11/4, In good form over fences without winning, third of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (25f) in January. Can go well again after a break. On a career-high mark but was consistent last season and he's back to a better trip here. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 +43%)Bob Bob Ricard |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bob Bob Ricard 4/1, Showed promise in bumpers and on his hurdles debut when second at Wetherby in October. Has failed to build on it though, only sixth of 9 in Wincanton novice 31 days ago. Goes chasing with a bit to prove. Tad unlucky to still be a maiden and quite interesting on handicap/chase debut. |
|||
(1)  (8/1 -33%)Le Cameleon |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Cameleon 8/1, C&D winner for Jane Williams who hinted at a revival for his new yard after 5 months off/wind op when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good) 30 days ago. One to consider. There was little sign of a resurgence at Kempton a month ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having finished a respectable second on his chase bow at Hexham earlier this month, HOME FREE looks more than capable of capitalising at this level. Dan Skelton's charge can put the experience to good use, and a 3lb higher rating shouldn't prove a barrier to success. His stablemate God's Own Getaway may be the biggest danger, arriving on the back of a narrow defeat over C&D. Le Cameleon also makes some appeal now dropping in class and trip.
None of these can be ruled out but GOD'S OWN GETAWAY has taken well to fences and with the form of his recent C&D second working out well he edges the vote. Stablemate Home Free has also made an encouraging chasing start and is feared most, atlhough Hardy Boy and Le Cameleon command plenty of respect too in a competitive handicap.
Dan Skelton has a strong hand and Harry has presumably plumped for HOME FREE ahead of God's Own Getaway.

6/4(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kintail 6/4, Scored in a bumper and on hurdling debut at this track and showed improved form at Cheltenham on penultimate outing. Disappointing on handicap debut at first-named track 4 months ago but could get back on track after a break. Lightly raced and back from a break and can be given another chance off this mark. |

(11)  (11/2 -38%)Thankyourluckystar |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Thankyourluckystar 11/2, Well treated and heading back in the right direction recently, runner-up at Bangor a month ago. Should be involved once again. Back to form when a clear second at Bangor last month; just 2lb above last winning mark. |

(3)  (13/2 +46%)Call Me Tara |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Call Me Tara 13/2, Positive profile over hurdles, gaining third career success in 4-runner mares' handicap at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in July. Not in same form both subsequent starts but worth a market check after 6 months off. Her only handicap success came in a non-event and this mark could be challenging. |
|||
(9)  (13/2 +19%)Rascal |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rascal 13/2, Fair hurdler who produced a solid showing at Huntingdon in April but failed to back it up at Perth last time. Not one to completely write off. Soft ground possibly against him last time; runner-up off 3lb lower the time before. |
|||
(7)  (7/1 -17%)Sambezi |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sambezi 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at this course a month ago and he's worthy of interest from a handy mark. Slipping back to a better mark and hasn't been running too badly this year. |
|||
(1)  (8/1 +0%)Fair Frontieres |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fair Frontieres 8/1, More miss than hit this year and doesn't look the force of old. Mark has become more appealing, however, and latest third at Kempton was much more like it. Worth considering. No excuses under a positive ride at Kempton (2m5f) recently when beaten about 10l. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 -33%)Ted's Friend |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ted's Friend 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but hasn't performed back from a long absence in two outings this spring. Others are more appealing. On a good mark but it's difficult to get a grip on where he is right now. |
|||
(6)  (18/1 +0%)Art Approval |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Art Approval 18/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences for Fergal O'Brien and has showed that some ability remains recently. Cheekpieces back on and he's edging down the weights. Not the horse he was but treated accordingly and could have some say. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 -25%)Throne Hall |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Throne Hall 20/1, Useful sort at his best on Flat and fairly useful hurdler. Return to this sphere at Hereford recently contained no promise, however, so it's best to look elsewhere. Pulled up back hurdling at Hereford and hasn't become the easiest to predict. |
|||
(4)  (22/1 -38%)Mourzouk |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mourzouk 22/1, Much improved when racking up a hat-trick in April/May 2022 but back from a long absence with a couple of tame displays last season. Has had another 5 months off and it's hard to know how much ability he retains. Needs good ground and could stage a revival should conditions remain favourable. |
|||
(10)  (28/1 +58%)Jac Jumper |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jac Jumper 28/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France but yet to offer much for current yard. First completion in Britain at Uttoxeter latest but was still only 6th in a field of eight. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There is a strong suspicion that we haven't seen the best of Kintail and he merits consideration now encountering some quicker ground on his return from a break. However, THANKYOURLUCKYSTAR rates a more solid proposition having finished a good second at Bangor last month. The Alastair Ralph-trained eight-year-old may defy a 2lb higher rating and secure a first win of the year. Call Me Tara and Fair Frontieres are also worth a closer look.
KINTAIL is unexposed and two from two from this track, so he's worth a chance to put an underwhelming handicap debut behind him after a break. Thankyourluckystar looks resurgent and should pose a major threat from a lenient mark, while Fair Frontieres is an obvious player if able to build on his latest effort.
The interesting one is KINTAIL (nap) who contested a strong race on his handicap debut and he's open to progress at this longer 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.
