1st (2) West Orchard (7/2 -56%)
West Orchard

3.5
7/2(-56%)
(2) West Orchard 7/2, Better than ever this season, winning at Plumpton and Fontwell first 2 starts before good third at latter track last time. Risky overall but needs considering in this company back up in trip and in a change of headgear.
An 8lb rise surely a factor in his hat-trick bid coming up short at Fontwell.
3
2nd (3) Celtic Fortune (4/1 -14%)
Celtic Fortune

4
4/1(-14%)
(3) Celtic Fortune 4/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited starting out over fences when fourth here on return. Should come on for that but stamina remains a concern over this trip.
14-race maiden but ran an encouraging first race over fences here in October.

Inchagoill Lady

11
11/1(+8%)
(4) Inchagoill Lady 11/1, Decent third back over hurdles under this rider at Taunton last time but she's yet to back up a good run in her 10-race career.
Has shown ability over hurdles/fences and it was a good latest effort over 3m at Taunton.
1
4th (1) Hobb's Delight (11/2 -22%)
Hobb's Delight

5.5
11/2(-22%)
(1) Hobb's Delight 11/2, Progressive over hurdles and went very close to making a winning chase bow at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) on return. Weak in the betting when not in same form at Ffos Las since so worth another chance.
Went close on chase debut and perhaps found conditions too soft the next time.
6
5th (6) Supreme Commander (10/3 +63%)
Supreme Commander

3.333333
10/3(+63%)
(6) Supreme Commander 10/3, Bought for plenty of money after finishing second in an Irish point but no impact as yet under Rules, including when gambled on after 10 months off over hurdles here 12 days ago.
Only 7th here 12 days ago but he was very strong in the market as the 2-1 fav.
7
6th (7) Elpologreg (33/1 +0%)
Elpologreg

33
33/1(+0%)
(7) Elpologreg 33/1, Got off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, soft) in February but that was a poor contest and has failed to back it up subsequently.
Fakenham winner in February but has found no form in three starts after a break.
5
|F| (5) Lelant (15/2 +25%)
Lelant

7.5
15/2(+25%)
(5) Lelant 15/2, Fair form without success over hurdles. Not so good over fences so far, running poorly fitted with headgear at Ffos Las latest. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.
Continues to slide down the weights but his form figures don't paint a pretty picture.
8
|PU| (8) Noah's Light (25/1 -25%)
Noah's Light

25
25/1(-25%)
(8) Noah's Light 25/1, Beaten a long way on all 4 starts now when attempting to repeat the tactics of his all-the-way win at Newton Abbot in July. Others preferred.
Won at Newton Abbot in July off 2lb lower but beaten 21l+ in all his races since.
9
|PU| (9) Killard Point (50/1 -100%)
Killard Point

50
50/1(-100%)
(9) Killard Point 50/1, Off mark in points at sixth attempt in May but shaped with no promise all 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this switch to chasing.
Had a wind operation ahead of this switch to fences but very opposable.

12:45 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

WEST ORCHARD's winning run came to an end at over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell last month, but first-time blinkers could eke out more, as could the step up in trip. Celtic Fortune shaped with promise on his chasing bow and he may build on that effort, while Supreme Commander, who disappointed on his seasonal return, could improve for the switch to fences.

HOBB'S DELIGHT is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise with doubts remaining over main rivals West Orchard and Celtic Fortune.

An open race to start with. HOBB'S DELIGHT perhaps found the ground too soft on his final start after going close the time before.

4
1st (4) Dunstall Rambler (15/2 -7%)
Dunstall Rambler

7.5
15/2(-7%)
(4) Dunstall Rambler 15/2, Remains winless, producing another clumsy round of jumping when third at Ludlow (2m) on penultimate run. Shuddering error compromised his chance when fifth at Hereford (2m) latest and jumping a concern despite easing mark.
No doubting his ability to win races off this mark but needs to jump better.
5
2nd (5) Universal Secret (6/1 +50%)
Universal Secret

6
6/1(+50%)
(5) Universal Secret 6/1, Modest winning hurdler who hasn't looked a winner in waiting in trio of chase tries since the summer. Return to handicaps in his favour now but others make stronger appeal.
Dual hurdle winner but has yet to get anything going over fences.
3
3rd (3) Lady Pretender (25/1 -400%)
Lady Pretender

25
25/1(-400%)
(3) Lady Pretender 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €130,000 but well held over both sets of obstacles for present yard, albeit possibly needing run after 8 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, soft) 26 days ago. Too soon to write her off back down in trip.
She was placed as a chaser in France and she'll probably come good sooner or later.
1
4th (1) Garitsa Bay (6/1 -33%)
Garitsa Bay

6
6/1(-33%)
(1) Garitsa Bay 6/1, Compiled a solid record in handicap hurdles, doubling his tally at Worcester (2m) in June and good placed efforts both subsequent starts. No surprise to see him prove as effective over larger obstacles and he's worthy of a second look.
In-form hurdler and his breeding bodes well for this new discipline.
2
5th (2) Shuil Ceoil (15/2 -36%)
Shuil Ceoil

7.5
15/2(-36%)
(2) Shuil Ceoil 15/2, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles who left previous efforts over fences behind when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Taunton (18.2f) 3 weeks ago. Does need to brush up on his jumping but possibilities if doing so.
Didn't run badly last month at Taunton (behind Skin Full) given his jumping lacked fluency.
8
6th (8) Skin Full (6/5 +52%)
Skin Full

1.2
6/5(+52%)
(8) Skin Full 6/5, Cost plenty after finishing second in a point. No impact over hurdles but more like it sent handicapping over larger obstacles when fourth at Taunton (18.2f) 19 days ago, mistake 2 out before keeping on well run-in. Type to improve further and he's shortlisted.
Making his handicap/chase debut when close up at Taunton 19 days ago.
7
7th (7) Haafback (15/2 -7%)
Haafback

7.5
15/2(-7%)
(7) Haafback 15/2, Made a winning start over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (2m) last month. Unseated at the sixth at Southwell (15.8f) in follow-up bid 2 weeks ago and worth noting he hasn't always looked the most straightforward.
Successful chase debut at Ludlow before departing early at Southwell.
6
8th (6) Seren Y Teigr (40/1 -100%)
Seren Y Teigr

40
40/1(-100%)
(6) Seren Y Teigr 40/1, Down the field in trio of starts on Flat and similar story over hurdles prior to finishing runner-up in handicap at Ffos Las (15.8f) in May. Well beaten both subsequent outings and switch to chasing needs to bring about improvement.
Failed to complete in his final hurdle but did go close off this mark in May.

13:15 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HAAFBACK made a successful chasing debut at Ludlow last month before unseating at Southwell a fortnight ago and, while he has less to prove than the majority of these, the six-year-old is fancied to bounce back. Walk In The Park gelding Garitsa Bay goes over fences for the first time and is a likely improver, while Shuil Ceoil appeals most of the remainder.

SKIN FULL left his hurdling exploits behind when finishing a respectable fourth on chase debut at Taunton 3 weeks ago and open to improvement from such a low base, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Lady Pretender has yet to threaten in 3 starts for Venetia Williams since arriving from France but can't be written off yet. Chase debutant Garitsa Bay and Shuil Ceoil complete the shortlist.

This may go to SKIN FULL who ran a positive first race over fences and a more forward ride might not go amiss over this shorter trip.

1st (7) Prophesea (11/10 +56%)
Prophesea

1.1
11/10(+56%)
(7) Prophesea 11/10, Successful pointer who made a winning debut under Rules in an Exeter bumper in April. Stepped up on his low-key hurdles debut when third of 13 in a Chepstow maiden (good) last time and, with the promise of better to come, he is a compelling candidate.
Made up a lot of late ground from off the pace to be third at Chepstow last month.

J J Moon

(4) J J Moon 3/1, Much improved when making third bumper start a winning one at Southwell in May. Disappointed both starts over hurdles since but still early days in this sphere.
Bumper winner beaten 14l and 45l in his runs over hurdles and now has a bit to prove.
6
3rd (6) Kingston Gent (18/1 +18%)
Kingston Gent

18
18/1(+18%)
(6) Kingston Gent 18/1, Successful on the second of his 2 starts between the flags during the spring. However, finished down the field starting out under Rules at Ffos Las and is probably one for handicaps later on.
Never threatened to take a hand on hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m4f) when a 50-1 chance.

Keel Strand

14
14/1(-87%)
(5) Keel Strand 14/1, €75,000 3-y-o, €120,000 4-y-o, Authorized gelding. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 28) but dropped away in a bumper at Chepstow on Rules bow. Still early days.
Stable was quiet when tailed off in a Chepstow bumper and should do better.
3
5th (3) George Henry (13/2 -160%)
George Henry

6.5
13/2(-160%)
(3) George Henry 13/2, From a fairly useful jumping family and not without promise in a couple of bumpers last season. Offered something to work on sent hurdling when sixth at Exeter on return so likely to figure with extra distance sure to suit.
Left bumper form behind with a fairly close sixth at Exeter (2m); bred for this far.
13
6th (13) Sheeka Supreme (125/1 +17%)
Sheeka Supreme

125
125/1(+17%)
(13) Sheeka Supreme 125/1, Successful in Irish points in October 2022 but little show in 2 races over hurdles this autumn.
Point winner; quiet in two runs over hurdles following a long absence.
1
7th (1) Vaguely Royal (15/2 -275%)
Vaguely Royal

7.5
15/2(-275%)
(1) Vaguely Royal 15/2, Useful stayer on the Flat for the Gosden stable and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for new connections when seeing off 15 rivals in maiden here (15f, good) in October. Unable to land odds under a penalty at Exeter since but step up in trip should suit.
Course winner with solid claims in today's company even with the penalty; should stay.

Banny Hill Lass

250
250/1(-25%)
(10) Banny Hill Lass 250/1, Down the field in bumpers and has fared no better in 2 starts over hurdles this season. Tongue strap now reached for.
Never counted in three bumpers and a similar tale so far over hurdles.
9
9th (9) Super Saint (12/1 +25%)
Super Saint

12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Super Saint 12/1, Cost a bit and produced a promising first effort amid inexperience when fourth in a Taunton bumper in March, not knocked about. Failed to progress at Warwick next time, however, and made a discouraging debut in this sphere after 7 months off at Exeter. Headgear on.
Bumper promise but was tired and beaten when refusing late on at Exeter last month.

13:45 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Paul Nicholls has a trio of chances and perhaps George Henry, who showed promise on his hurdling bow/first run following wind surgery, is the best of them. However the vote goes to VAGUELY ROYAL, who might not have been suited by attempting to make all of the running at Exeter last month. A course winner in October, he should get a better setup. Prophesea is another to consider.

Bumper-winner PROPHESEA left his hurdling debut form behind when third at Chepstow last month, knocking the eye out with his flourish into the placings from some way back, and he's preferred to penalised-winner Vaguely Royal and potential-improver George Henry in what looks a thin race despite the numbers.

This isn't a strong race and PROPHESEA should have as good a chance as any if reproducing his latest Chepstow effort.

Don't Mind If I Do

0.25
1/4(+24%)
(7) Don't Mind If I Do 1/4, £75,000 half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Lord Baddesley. Ran a cracker when second of 20 in Newbury sales bumper on debut in March and shaped like a sure-fire future winner when filling same spot on Warwick hurdle bow (2m). Sure to progress and claims crystal clear.
Has bumped into good horses in both his races and this looks a good opportunity.

(9) Renoir 22/1, Made an encouraging bumper debut when third of 9 at Bangor in April 2023. Went backwards at Stratford 2 months later but has since scored on the level for Thomas Faulkner, albeit last on most recent outing. Makes hurdle bow.
1m4f AW winner at a lowly level this October; has since changed hands for £7,000.

It's A Breeze

(8) It's A Breeze 6/1, €120,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Impervious and fair 2½m hurdle winner Dame de Fortune. Proved very green when sent off a short-priced favourite in a C&D bumper on debut 11 months ago. Clearly thought capable of better.
Tailed off in a bumper here last Boxing Day when a strong favourite; now hooded.

14:15 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

DON'T MIND IF I DO shaped with plenty of promise when hitting the crossbar on his hurdles debut at Warwick last month and should have plenty of improvement in him. With normal progression, he will prove very tough to beat. Dark Material finished fifth on his first start over hurdles at Taunton and could get closer with Sam Twiston-Davies booked, while hurdling newcomer Chourmo warrants a market check.

DON'T MIND IF I DO, an excellent second in his sole outing in bumpers, again shaped with bags of promise behind a useful prospect on his Warwick hurdling debut last month and, with the performance supported by a healthy timefigure, he'll surely take plenty of beating with improvement on the cards. It's A Breeze ran below expectations in a C&D bumper on his debut 11 months ago but is clearly thought capable of much better, with Another Fine Mess taken to fill the places.

There's no Regent's Stroll or Castle Ivers (both smart prospects) for DON'T MIND IF I DO to worry about here and he should win well.

Questionable what he achieved in winning a weak three-runner race last time; same mark.

Four pull-ups since winning this last year but on a good mark if better for a wind op.

14:45 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

King Arise was denied by a neck into second over an extended 2m5f at Ayr last month and he should give a good account on only his second chase start. However, the vote goes to YGGDRASIL, who finished third on his first outing for the David Pipe yard at Bangor in June last year and now makes his return off a 5lb lower rating. Another Folly is another to keep an eye on.

YGGDRASIL has a lengthy absence to overcome but has been given a chance by the handicapper and his trainer is back among the winners in recent days, so he could be worth chancing. King Arise clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but he came very close to making a winning chase bow at Ayr last month after a long absence so rates the main threat ahead of Gyenyame, who remains with potential in this sphere.

A chance is taken on last year's winner HARJO in the hope he can get himself back on track after wind surgery.

(2) Walk On High 11/1, 7-y-o who hasn't stood much racing but confirmed he retains all his ability after 12 months off/wind surgery when third in 14-runner Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) 4 weeks ago. May well have a bigger effort in his locker. Makes handicap debut with hood retained.
Sparingly raced but promising novice form in late 2022; creditable return; handicap debut.

(5) Moab 10/1, A fair maiden on the Flat who showed more than previous in this sphere when fourth on qualifying run in 8-runner novice hurdle at Sandown (2m) 37 days ago. Opening mark does demand another step forward now, however.
Showed Flat ability and this sharp track can suit now he goes handicapping.

(8) Dirty Den 12/1, Fair bumper winner who has yet to scale same heights as a hurdler but shaped a bit better than on return when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (2m, soft) 8 days ago. Likely he'll need to take another step forward to play a lead role here.
Well adrift of American Land over C&D and again faded at Lingfield eight days ago.

Won in good style at Worcester (2m, good) in July; not in same form since; headgear off.

(3) American Land 1/1, Showed improved form quickly reverted to hurdling when off the mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) and followed up over C&D 26 days ago having escaped a penalty for that success. More needed now new mark has kicked in but respected nevertheless.
Won both handicap hurdles, at Taunton and over C&D; harder task off 9lb higher today.

Monsant

33
33/1(-371%)
(1) Monsant 33/1, Definite promise (fair form) on first 2 starts in maiden hurdles during 2023. Probably in need of run after 9 months off when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Galway (19f) in October and he remains with potential having since switched yards. Market confidence would look significant.
Ex-Irish; lightly raced; promise in maiden hurdles but faded on handicap debut; new yard.

Won 2m maiden in July; creditable handicap runs since and shouldn't be far away.

15:15 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

American Land escaped a penalty for winning a conditional handicap at Taunton when following up with a C&D success last time. He faces a tougher task now raised 9lb, while Zodiac Star has a shout on his second at Ludlow in October, though WALK ON HIGH is preferred. Harry Fry's charge remains unexposed over hurdles and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

WALK ON HIGH evidently hasn't been the easiest to train but confirmed he retains all of his ability after a year off when third on his qualifying run at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago. Appealing as having an even bigger effort in his locker, he shades the vote on handicap debut in the hope he stands more regular racing. Phoenix Risen from a handy mark and the hat-trick seeking American Land are others to consider. Monsant is also worth a look.

It could be tight between American Land and Phoenix Risen on Taunton form but WALK ON HIGH is chanced on his handicap debut.

Got up in the nick of time at Plumpton; 5lb higher for this but clearly a contender.

15:45 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LINDA MOON proved well suited to the step up to 2m3f at Taunton last month on her first start since May. Beaten less than a length into second on that occasion, this extra furlong will likely bring further improvement from the five-year-old and Neil King's mare is taken to go one better. The unexposed Sweet Caryline scored at Fontwell on her handicap debut and also merits consideration, given she had Ask Her Out back in second and she's subsequently won at Plumpton.

IMPERIAL JADE was unlucky not to finish closer over C&D on her most recent outing, having been shuffled back leaving the back straight, and there's surely a handicap in her from her current mark. Sweet Caryline is in a deeper handicap than the one she won at Fontwell, but her pedigree provides plenty of hope for better still, with Linda Moon likely to go well again.

Jaminska and IMPERIAL JADE (nap) are the two against the field. The selection was unlucky here last time and she's improving.

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.
