10
1st (10) (4.5/1 +44%) Light Flicker
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(10) Light Flicker 4.5/1, Point winner who showed first form under Rules when 13 lengths second over hurdles at Exeter (21.6f) last month. Now his task is to translate that improvement back to chasing.
6
2nd (6) (11/1 +45%) Road Warrior
11
11/1(+45%)
(6) Road Warrior 11/1, Yet to win, and following a good comeback second over further at Sedgefield after wind surgery, he's failed to match that level either start since.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 +43%) Eagle De Guye
8
8/1(+43%)
(8) Eagle De Guye 8/1, Placed in his only point back in May 2018 and having missed all of 2019, he's hinted at promise in trio of novice hurdle events spread over 7 months. This may be more his bag now handicapping.
12
4th (12) (12/1 +40%) Vintage Glen
12
12/1(+40%)
(12) Vintage Glen 12/1, Lightly raced maiden who looked held back by inexperience when midfield in a novices' handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f) in October. This should reveal more but others make greater appeal.
11
5th (11) (8.5/1 -55%) Real Armani
8.5
8.5/1(-55%)
(11) Real Armani 8.5/1, Poor maiden hurdler but better signs over fences earlier this year, twice finding only one too good in handicaps at Carlisle at up to 3m. Not ruled out on return.
2
6th (2) (4/1 +27%) Going Mobile
4
4/1(+27%)
(2) Going Mobile 4/1, Suited by return to further when off the mark at Market Rasen (19f) in October. Undone by keenness/jumping errors at Musselburgh since but not one to write off.
1
7th (1) (2.5/1 -33%) Flamboyant Joyaux
2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(1) Flamboyant Joyaux 2.5/1, Point/fair hurdles winner who shaped well when third on chase bow at Sedgefield (19.3f) last month, his early exuberance possibly costing him. Jumped well then and he's considered with better to come.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 -60%) Yesandno
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Yesandno 16/1, Made little impact in trio of hurdle starts for Alan King but likely first start for 21 months was needed on yard debut at Uttoxeter in November. May do better now chasing.
9
|PU| (9) (33/1 -106%) Duncomplaining
33
33/1(-106%)
(9) Duncomplaining 33/1, Veteran who is seemingly hard to train, absent since finishing well beaten over fences at Leicester (20.2f) in January 2018 (sole start for Oliver Sherwood). Worth a check in the betting for clues.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -21%) Kiteinahurricane
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Kiteinahurricane 40/1, Court Cave gelding who was well beaten all 3 starts over hurdles last winter. However, undergone wind surgery ahead of return and he's closely related to a couple of point winners. Market best guide.
3
|PU| (3) (50/1 -614%) Triangle Rock
50
50/1(-614%)
(3) Triangle Rock 50/1, Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles for Keith Dalgleish and likely first run for 20 months was needed at Hereford (25.5f) in November. Worth noting if strong in the betting now sent chasing.

6
1st (6) (3/1 +25%) All Hail Caesar
3
3/1(+25%)
(6) All Hail Caesar 3/1, Signed off last season by landing an 11-runner Newcastle bumper in February. Needed reappearance and stepped up on that in first-time cheekpieces when third over 25f at Catterick 2 weeks ago.
8
2nd (8) (4.5/1 +59%) March Is On
4.5
4.5/1(+59%)
(8) March Is On 4.5/1, Winning hurdler but ended 2019/20 out of sorts and has fared little better in 2 outings this term, (chase first occasion).
3
3rd (3) (7/1 -211%) Dalaman
7
7/1(-211%)
(3) Dalaman 7/1, Fitting of blinkers did the trick when opening account for this yard in 10-runner handicap at Bangor (23f) in October. Raised 10 lb and not an obvious follow-up contender given profile.
1
4th (1) (5/1 +44%) Blue Hussar
5
5/1(+44%)
(1) Blue Hussar 5/1, Course winner who was pulled up in 2m York handicap on Flat in September and produces a laboured effort back hurdling at Kelso a month ago. This does at least represent a drop in class.
10
5th (10) (3.33/1 +26%) Blaster Yeats
3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(10) Blaster Yeats 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who offered a bit more when fourth over an inadequate 2m at Hexham 17 days ago. Upped markedly in trip and he's more interesting than most.
5
6th (5) (9/1 +0%) Presence Felt
9
9/1(+0%)
(5) Presence Felt 9/1, Winless since 2018 but still plenty of zest about him despite advancing years judged on latest third in a first-time tongue strap at Carlisle last week.
7
7th (7) (18/1 -13%) Court Baloo
18
18/1(-13%)
(7) Court Baloo 18/1, Scored at Hexham in September but that very much a stand out effort this season, dropping away at Kelso a month ago.
4
|PU| (4) (40/1 +39%) He's A Goer
40
40/1(+39%)
(4) He's A Goer 40/1, Very likely needed the run on October's return from 13 months off but even so, still didn't achieve enough to make him of interest.
LTO Selection:
13:02 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(8) Nearly Perfect 2.5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who opened his account in 25f Wincanton novice handicap chase before creditable third in 3m Ascot handicap 10 months ago. Not ruled out if back fully tuned up after his absence.
7
2nd (7) (5/1 +55%) Chef D'oeuvre
5
5/1(+55%)
(7) Chef D'oeuvre 5/1, Fairly useful staying chaser in 2018/19. Off 20 months and had wind op before well held when unseating rider last in 3m handicap chase at Ayr on return. Tongue strap on now with work to do.
2
3rd (2) (18/1 -80%) Theligny
18
18/1(-80%)
(2) Theligny 18/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who signed off for last term with maiden chase success at Ffos Las 9 months ago. Made mistakes when beating only one in Sedgefield handicap on return so has it to prove now.
5
4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Breaking Waves
6
6/1(+25%)
(5) Breaking Waves 6/1, Unreliable chaser for Noel Williams. Off 10 months and had wind op before unseating rider back straight in 22f handicap at Newbury on yard debut 7 days ago. Others appeal more.
6
|PU| (6) (2.75/1 -22%) Templehills
2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(6) Templehills 2.75/1, Resumed with 21f Stratford success before good third of 11 in 19f handicap there last time. Effective over further so he's much respected off same mark.
3
|PU| (3) (4.5/1 -35%) One Style
4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(3) One Style 4.5/1, Made it 5 handicap wins in a row when scoring at Ludlow (3m) last term but looked rusty after 8 months off when pulled up at Aintree on return. Yard among the winners now and sort to bounce back.
LTO Selection:
13:37 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Fransham 2.5/1, Won over C&D with something to spare last season and won the same race here last month, looking better than ever. Has to be respected.
2
2nd (2) (6/1 -9%) Altruism
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) Altruism 6/1, Looked more straightforward than has been the case when cashing in on a career-low mark at Newcastle under this rider in March and creditable return when runner-up at Cartmel. Player.
4
3rd (4) (6/1 +14%) Thor De Cerisy
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Thor De Cerisy 6/1, Off the mark over hurdles in a Newcastle maiden last season but looked a difficult ride next 3 starts, so something to prove on return.
3
4th (3) (5/1 +9%) Fin And Game
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Fin And Game 5/1, C&D winner and creditable 4 lengths third to Fransham at this C&D after 10 months off 36 days ago, well positioned. Lightly raced for his age and headgear given a whirl.
5
5th (5) (2.25/1 +36%) Stainsby Girl
2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(5) Stainsby Girl 2.25/1, Bumper winner and consistent over hurdles prior to making most of a good opportunity in Newcastle novice (heavy) in March. Improved again to defy penalty at Hexham on return and needs considering.
7
6th (7) (14/1 +36%) Ilaya
14
14/1(+36%)
(7) Ilaya 14/1, Dual 2m winner last term who (40/1) returned with good fifth of 9 in handicap over C&D. Disappointed back here 3 weeks ago, however, so needs to bounce back.

12
1st (12) (7.5/1 +25%) Rock On Barney
7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(12) Rock On Barney 7.5/1, Looked on the up when comfortably landing a double in October and has been handed more of a break on the back of a disappointing effort. Well capable of taking a hand if he's back in form.
7
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +36%) Who's In The Box
4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(7) Who's In The Box 4.5/1, Winning pointer who stepped up on his hurdling exploits when an encouraging second at Southwell on chasing/handicap debut at Southwell. Strong claims if he can build on that.
2
3rd (2) (14/1 +0%) Big Nasty
14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Big Nasty 14/1, Has improved since switched to chasing but was let down by his jumping (also found to have bled) when last seen at Doncaster 9 months ago and is liable to need this return.
1
4th (1) (7/1 -40%) Orrisdale
7
7/1(-40%)
(1) Orrisdale 7/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who is still lightly raced and warrants consideration having been brought down at Southwell on his chasing debut recently.
6
5th (6) (14/1 -75%) Grange Ranger
14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Grange Ranger 14/1, Ex-pointer who has proved better over fences than hurdles and was a respectable second over C&D on return. Mark demands a bit more, though.
9
6th (9) (5.5/1 -57%) Kings Cave
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(9) Kings Cave 5.5/1, Winning pointer who improved from hurdling debut when runner-up in a novice at Hexham last time and should take another step forward now handicap chasing upped in trip. One to consider.
11
7th (11) (40/1 -43%) Iwasthefutureonce
40
40/1(-43%)
(11) Iwasthefutureonce 40/1, Point winner and fair over hurdles. Yet to complete over fences under Rules, though, unseating at Sedgefield on reappearance.
5
8th (5) (12/1 -20%) Bako De La Saulaie
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Bako De La Saulaie 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who seems hard to train these days and came up short despite being strong in the betting at Kelso last time. Others preferred.
8
9th (8) (18/1 -50%) Eurowork
18
18/1(-50%)
(8) Eurowork 18/1, Winning pointer at fourth attempt and has hit the frame over hurdles the last twice. Type to do better now chasing, so not easily discounted for all his mark demands more.
10
|U| (10) (7/1 +13%) Mance Rayder
7
7/1(+13%)
(10) Mance Rayder 7/1, Bounced back to best to capitalise on a falling mark in 12-runner event at Doncaster 7 days ago but 8 lb higher now and not certain to be in the same mood.
4
|PU| (4) (9/1 +50%) Uptown Harry
9
9/1(+50%)
(4) Uptown Harry 9/1, Winner of 22f Kelso maiden hurdle last season before signing off with promising second in handicap over C&D on debut over fences. Not at best so far this term, though.
3
|PU| (3) (12/1 -20%) Mon Palois
12
12/1(-20%)
(3) Mon Palois 12/1, Landed a handicap chase at Stratford in August but has looked laboured on both subsequent outings, so needs a short break to have freshened him up.

1st (1) (0.33/1 +59%) Eileendover
0.33
0.33/1(+59%)
(1) Eileendover 0.33/1, Flat-bred filly who bolted up on debut in a Huntingdon bumper (13.7f) last month. Will prove hard to beat under a penalty.
6
2nd (6) (50/1 -100%) Haute Estime
50
50/1(-100%)
(6) Haute Estime 50/1, Walk In The Park filly. Dam unraced sister to moody but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Buachaill Alainn. Yard's record in bumpers in recent seasons is pretty modest (8% strike rate).
11
3rd (11) (25/1 -108%) Splashing
25
25/1(-108%)
(11) Splashing 25/1, Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler Crystal Pearl and fair hurdler Dee Cee Elle, while dam was a 15f winner. Worth a second look in the betting.
12
4th (12) (8.5/1 +15%) Surooj
8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(12) Surooj 8.5/1, 13,000 gns 3-y-o. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Ghadaayer and half-sister to 2 winners. Dam 7f winner who stayed 1½m. Yard 4-10 in this discipline and market check advised.
2
5th (2) (11/1 -22%) Alchemystique
11
11/1(-22%)
(2) Alchemystique 11/1, Recent Warwick debut was not devoid of promise, but sizeable step forward needed if she's to emerge on top here.
8
6th (8) (50/1 +0%) Howzat Hiris
50
50/1(+0%)
(8) Howzat Hiris 50/1, Al Namix filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Easter Gold, stays 19f. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Countess Olivia.
4
7th (4) (28/1 +15%) Ebony Girl
28
28/1(+15%)
(4) Ebony Girl 28/1, Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut.
10
8th (10) (33/1 -32%) Rock On Sweetie
33
33/1(-32%)
(10) Rock On Sweetie 33/1, Nayef filly. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat. Dam unraced. Yard 2-26 in bumpers in recent seasons and this filly will probably come on for the run.
7
9th (7) (8/1 -33%) Hoopmalassie
8
8/1(-33%)
(7) Hoopmalassie 8/1, Useful middle-distance Flat pedigree and showed some ability when third on debut in 1¾m Warwick bumper 17 days ago (Alchemystique back in third). Solid each-way chance.
3
10th (3) (50/1 -127%) Countess Olivia
50
50/1(-127%)
(3) Countess Olivia 50/1, Half-sister to 3 winners on the Flat, including useful 1½m-2m winner Nuits St Georges. Interesting to see what the market has to say.
9
11th (9) (40/1 -186%) Redwing Lass
40
40/1(-186%)
(9) Redwing Lass 40/1, Maxios filly. Half-sister to minor US winner by Mizzen Mast. Dam useful French/US 9f winner. Tongue strap enlisted for this debut and, like stablemate Haute Estime, she's probably worth taking on.
5
12th (5) (125/1 -400%) Elysees Dream
125
125/1(-400%)
(5) Elysees Dream 125/1, Didn't show enough on debut at Market Rasen in October to suggest that she'll play a leading role in this contest.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
