1st (1) (1.25/1 +50%) Swapped |
1.25/1(+50%) | (1) Swapped 1.25/1, Still to add to his bumper win but he ran well in first-time cheekpieces when second of 7 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) on debut over fences 28 days ago. Can build on it now. Second on Newton Abbot chasing debut and that puts him firmly in the reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6.5/1 -86%) Miss Antipova |
6.5/1(-86%) | (7) Miss Antipova 6.5/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs but this veteran mare posted a creditable second of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good) 16 days ago. Merits consideration. Maiden who has been runner-up in latest three chases; go close again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +0%) Lough Carra |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Lough Carra 5/1, 9/4 and tongue strap on, built on his chasing debut when second of 4 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good) 30 days ago. Visor on for 1st time and one for the shortlist. Similar level of form in both chase starts last month; visor needs to provoke improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7.5/1 -67%) Cotton End |
7.5/1(-67%) | (2) Cotton End 7.5/1, Took a step back in the right direction when third of 4 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good) 20 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off a 3 lb lower mark here. Fair third at Uttoxeter latest but not the force of old; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (18/1 -64%) Barely Famous |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Barely Famous 18/1, Arrives in good nick over hurdles, fading fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good) 16 days ago. Back in trip for her chase debut and she needs considering. Three hurdle wins but well beaten in both stable starts; chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Deer Hunter |
7.5/1(+38%) | (6) Deer Hunter 7.5/1, Modest form over hurdles for Harry Whittington in 2020/21. Below par for his current yard and came in last of 6 in handicap hurdle here (23f, good) 25 days ago. Lots more is needed on his chase debut. Has run passably here over hurdles lately but more needed on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (10/1 +17%) Paddy's Return |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Paddy's Return 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, pulled up in handicap chase here (2m) on his debut over fences 33 days ago, folding tamely end of back straight. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Backed for last month's chasing debut but pulled up; hood back and tongue-strap on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 -29%) Coconut Tudor |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Coconut Tudor 18/1, Remains a maiden after 17 runs. 16/1, below-par fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, soft) 66 days ago on his final run for John Mackie. More needed for his new handler. Maiden; well beaten in four British starts; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (100/1 -25%) Ace Time |
100/1(-25%) | (8) Ace Time 100/1, Dual hurdles winner late in 2021 but his form has nosedived since. Hard to warm to now going chasing. Two hurdle wins but out of form in last 18 months; chasing debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The first-time visor may bring out some improvement from LOUGH CARRA, who has gone close a number of times in the past and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Swapped attempted to make all on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month when eventually finishing second behind Chief Black Robe, who has boosted the form again since, and must enter calculations in what doesn't appear the strongest of races. Miss Antipova could be due a change of luck having finished runner-up on her last three starts.
COTTON END is taken to build on her recent Uttoxeter effort and resume winning ways off a 3 lb lower mark here. Swapped could emerge as the chief threat if building on his Newton Abbot second on his first go over fences, with Huntingdon second Lough Carra another who can have a say in a trappy contest.
Assuming he is more fluent from the start, SWAPPED can defy top weight.

1st (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Stepney Causeway |
3.33/1(+0%) | (2) Stepney Causeway 3.33/1, Useful hurdles winner for Dan Skelton. Yet to get his head in front in this sphere but has twice been runner-up in small-field affairs in recent months, most recently in a 3-runner event at Warwick last month. Hood now applied. 0-11 as a chaser and will need better than his Warwick second to win this; hood fitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.38/1 -38%) Blueberry Wine |
1.38/1(-38%) | (1) Blueberry Wine 1.38/1, Likeable type who followed up his Huntingdon success with career-best victory at Aintree (15.8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. 6 lb higher now but should make another bold bid in search for the hat-trick. 5-11 over fences and took form to new level with Aintree win this month; up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -40%) Paros |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Paros 14/1, Fairly useful form when winning twice in 2020/21 but he has been pulled up all 4 starts since returning from lengthy absence in December. Plenty to prove making chase debut having since left Nicky Henderson. Pulled up all four starts last season; chase debut on first start for stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (1.75/1 +30%) Elios D'Or |
1.75/1(+30%) | (3) Elios D'Or 1.75/1, 3-time C&D winner also scored at Stratford earlier this month. Ridden too aggressively at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but is the type to bounce quickly and can't be discounted with an easy lead predicted. Out of his depth latest but won previous start and three chase wins at this track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLUEBERRY WINE was last seen winning in game fashion at Aintree just under a fortnight ago and a 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his attempt to make it a hat-trick of victories. A first-time hood may squeeze out some improvement from Stepney Causeway, who has yet to get off mark over the larger obstacles having finished second at Warwick last month. Elios D'Or appears to save his best for this track, having won three times over C&D, and is dangerous to dismiss.
A competitive affair despite the small field, with the thriving BLUEBERRY WINE fancied to gain a fourth win from his last 5 starts. Recent Stratford winner Elios d'Or did too much too soon at Newton Abbot last time but has a good C&D record and can pose a major threat granted an uncontested lead, with Stepney Causeway also tricky to rule out.
The progressive BLUEBERRY WINE can complete a hat-trick.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (3.5/1 +42%) Tiger Orchid |
3.5/1(+42%) | (1) Tiger Orchid 3.5/1, Won twice over hurdles last season and shaped as if retaining all his ability after 6 months off at Ludlow on his return. However, jumping issues resurfaced when fourth here (23f) last time, so needs to cut out the mistakes as he now goes chasing. Has run consistently since a hurdle win last November; something to prove on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +0%) Jet Smart |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Jet Smart 6/1, Runner-up only outing in Irish points and shaped encouragingly when fifth in maiden hurdle at Ascot (19.3f) on Rules debut. Hasn't gone on as hoped since then, but he's not one to write off yet switched to chasing with tongue strap on first time (has had a wind op). Unplaced over hurdles but second in an Irish point; chasing debut after wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -300%) Talkingthetalk |
9/1(-300%) | (6) Talkingthetalk 9/1, Third in a Wexford maiden hurdle for Leonard Whitmore last summer, but showed little for her current yard the remainder of the season. However, making her second start over fences she got off the mark at Uttoxeter (20f) 20 days ago. Can score again now that she's up and running. Shock Uttoxeter winner this month; 7lb higher and repeat looks tougher task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Bolsover Bill |
8.5/1(+15%) | (4) Bolsover Bill 8.5/1, Thrived with the tongue tie refitted last term, gaining a fourth success over fences at Plumpton (19.7f) in March. However, run of good form halted when well held at Cartmel last month. Bounce back called for. Tailed off at Cartmel latest but didn't appear to act around there; can be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (1.38/1 +39%) Hardy Boy |
1.38/1(+39%) | (2) Hardy Boy 1.38/1, Dual hurdles winner who opened his account at the third attempt over fences when successful at Huntingdon (19.9) a month ago, despite again jumping none too fluently. Capable of getting involved, but could do with brushing up his jumping. Not yet fluent but won off 3lb lower at Huntingdon last month; first attempt at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (7/1 +22%) Lord Bryan |
7/1(+22%) | (3) Lord Bryan 7/1, In top form when completing a hat-trick around 3m between April and June last year. However, pulled up 4 of his 6 starts since and continued below his best when third of 5 at Newton Abbot (25.8f) last time. Others more persuasive. Mostly poor since last year's hat-trick but third on latest start; best if leading. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TALKINGTHETALK was given a fine ride from the front at Uttoxeter earlier this month and she could be dangerous if allowed a soft lead in receipt of weight all-round. Hardy Boy got off the mark over fences at Uttoxeter last month, despite not jumping with much fluency, and looks the likeliest danger given a clear round. Any market confidence behind Tiger Orchid, who is making his chasing debut, should be noted.
On just her second start over fences, TALKINGTHETALK benefited from the return to front-running tactics when opening her account at Uttoxeter and she can build on that effort to score again. The biggest threat could be Hardy Boy, who also arrives on the back of a win last time despite his less-than-fluent jumping. Bolsover Bill is the pick of the remainder.
Chasing debutant JET SMART is an interesting candidate off this mark.

1st (1) (0.67/1 +33%) Chef D'etat |
0.67/1(+33%) | (1) Chef D'etat 0.67/1, Ribchester gelding who was unraced for Richard Hannon and caused a 33/1-shock having been bought for only 2,500 gns when landing 10-runner bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good) under this rider earlier in the month, leading dying strides. Fancied to be bang there again. Shock (33-1) Tramore winner on this month's debut; hard to beat under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5.5/1 +39%) Theweddingcanwait |
5.5/1(+39%) | (6) Theweddingcanwait 5.5/1, Califet filly who was possibly flattered when sixth of 7 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good, 66/1) on debut earlier this month, not quicken final 1f. First run for yard after leaving Max Comley and having joined a top yard, she could well have more to offer. Tailed off in a point bumper but better at Stratford; has joined leading stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6.5/1 +46%) Carpe Diem |
6.5/1(+46%) | (3) Carpe Diem 6.5/1, Walzertakt gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Coupdebol and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Khayance. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (barely stayed 35f) Chance du Roy. Newcomer; half-brother to winning chasers; trainer 0-15 in bumpers in recent seasons. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -57%) Generous Valentine |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Generous Valentine 22/1, Scorpion mare. Dam (h118), bumper/2½m-21f hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Brynmawr. Slipped up sole start in point bumpers (May 13). Noteworthy newcomer. Slipped up after two furlongs in a point bumper last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4.5/1 -125%) Achtung Baby |
4.5/1(-125%) | (2) Achtung Baby 4.5/1, Joshua Tree gelding who had been placed in a point bumper and wasn't beaten far when fourth of 7 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good) earlier this month, unsuited by a sprint at the end of a slowly-run race. Expected to feature. Not beaten far at Stratford this month in a race confined to pointers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (40/1 -100%) Charia |
40/1(-100%) | (4) Charia 40/1, Yorgunnabelucky gelding who offered little when pulled up in bumper over C&D (good to soft) 6 weeks ago. Tongue tie applied and will need to leave that effort well behind. Pulled up on C&D debut last month; tongue-strap now fitted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Irish raider CHEF D'ETAT won quite nicely on his debut at Tramore earlier this month and, with improvement likely, he is fancied to complete the double. Achtung Baby finished three lengths in front of Theweddingcanwait when a respectable fourth at Stratford and he could confirm that form, while Carpe Diem might be worth a market check ahead of his introduction.
This can go the way of CHEF D'ETAT, who caused a shock when opening his account first time up at Tramore earlier this month and Shark Hanlon's 4-y-o looks to have been found a good opportunity to double his tally. Achtung Baby and Theweddingcanwait weren’t beaten far in a slowly-run contest at Stratford just under 4 weeks ago and they look the main dangers to the selection in that order.
It is hard to oppose CHEF D'ETAT after his debut win.

1st (11) (0.83/1 +67%) Gaius |
0.83/1(+67%) | (11) Gaius 0.83/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon and progressed a bit further over hurdles when second in 8-runner novice at Aintree (16.5f) last month, albeit no match for winner. Bumped into another good prospect at Market Rasen last time and this could be a good chance to go one better. Gradually improving as a hurdler and fair shout here after his Market Rasen second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8/1 +0%) Painless Potter |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Painless Potter 8/1, Flat winner last summer and while he hasn't yet matched that level over hurdles, he did find only one too good over C&D 3 weeks ago. Needs to step up on that to go one place better. Flat winner; form of C&D second isn't great but puts him in the picture. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Humanitarian |
3.5/1(+22%) | (2) Humanitarian 3.5/1, One-time talented Flat performer and has displayed aptitude for hurdling in Irish maidens, filling the frame twice last month. Too free at Listowel 3 weeks ago but he should be a big player at this level switched to Britain. The one to beat on best Irish form but is nowhere near the horse of old. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (50/1 -25%) Malago Rose |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Malago Rose 50/1, Bit of promise in a pair of bumpers but looked in need of the experience on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Some ability in bumpers but tailed off on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (250/1 -213%) Sunset In Paris |
250/1(-213%) | (8) Sunset In Paris 250/1, Poor maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Very limited Flat maiden; hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6/1 +67%) Perryville |
6/1(+67%) | (6) Perryville 6/1, Fair form at best in maiden/novice hurdles and no real progress switched to handicaps, albeit unsuited by the way the race developed at Huntingdon last month. Not progressing and well held in handicaps but has some prospects in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 +39%) Alpha King |
40/1(+39%) | (1) Alpha King 40/1, Fair but temperamental handicapper on the Flat (stays 11.5f) and dropped away on hurdles debut last week. Flat winner; well beaten on hurdle debut last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (10/1 +0%) Elusive Enemy |
10/1(+0%) | (10) Elusive Enemy 10/1, Just poor form in bumpers and well held on hurdles debut but much more like it with a tongue tie fitted when second of 9 over C&D last month. Task is to now build on that. Best yet when second over C&D last month, despite pulling hard; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (150/1 -275%) My Friend Dixie |
150/1(-275%) | (4) My Friend Dixie 150/1, No promise in a Stratford bumper in October. Tailed off in a bumper last October; hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GAIUS has earned himself a rating of 108 (the highest in this line-up) with a number of decent efforts in defeat, including when runner-up to an odds-on favourite at Market Rasen last time, and this represents a fantastic opportunity for him to open his account under NH rules. Painless Potter and Elusive Enemy also arrive following solid placed efforts and merit consideration, while 'Shark' Hanlon's Humanitarian cannot be ruled out either.
GAIUS has returned with a couple of fine runs and this looks a good chance for him to open his account in this sphere. Irish runner Humanitarian is interesting, while The Galahad Kid would obviously demand respect if turned out quickly following Monday's good effort at Southwell.
The steadily improving GAIUS makes most appeal.

1st (6) (3/1 +45%) Everyonesgame |
3/1(+45%) | (6) Everyonesgame 3/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who won maiden/novice hurdles this spring. More on his plate now moving into handicaps but he has a less-exposed profile than most of these. Two novice wins since wind surgery; opening handicap mark demands further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (4/1 +20%) Galata Bridge |
4/1(+20%) | (11) Galata Bridge 4/1, Emphatic winner at Huntingdon last May and has returned in good form, building on Ludlow fourth when resuming winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap last month. Respected up 3 lb. Looked more straightforward in Uttoxeter win; this is much harder and trip an unknown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (80/1 -21%) Eritage |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Eritage 80/1, Signed off time with Paul Nicholls with a Newton Abbot chase win last May but struggled for this yard on his next 5 starts. Can only be watched back on this first outing for 10 months. Lost his way for this yard last summer; returns from ten months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3.5/1 +50%) Luttrell Lad |
3.5/1(+50%) | (7) Luttrell Lad 3.5/1, Got back on the up for new yard when staying on from rear to finish creditable eighth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but he hasn't been able to confirm that promise in 2 outings since (remote fourth at Market Rasen 19 days ago). Too well handicapped to ignore but can't be confident about Ran well three starts ago but well held when tried at this sort of trip latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -100%) Finisk River |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Finisk River 20/1, Good record since fitted with a cheekpieces and tongue tie combination, winning 4 times (including C&D) in the first half of last season. One to consider back from 7 months off for last year's winning yard. Four front-running wins last year; well held off this mark when last seen in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7.5/1 -15%) Merry Berry |
7.5/1(-15%) | (8) Merry Berry 7.5/1, Completed a 4-timer in 2021/22 but not seen since finishing second at Hexham a year ago. One of 2 runners for her leading stable. It'll be very interesting to see how much strength there is behind her in the betting on reappearance. Absent for a year but has won when fresh; front-runner and progressive when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (14/1 +44%) Celestial Horizon |
14/1(+44%) | (9) Celestial Horizon 14/1, Dual hurdle winner in Ireland. Lost her way for Joseph O'Brien last summer and hasn't done much better in a handful of starts for current yard. Could only consider if backed. One fair run for this yard but heavy defeats in his last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (20/1 -122%) Clear The Runway |
20/1(-122%) | (1) Clear The Runway 20/1, Highly progressive hurdler/chaser in 2022. Off 8 months, pulled up in 2m Newton Abbot handicap chase 14 days ago so he'll need to have come on a lot in a short space of time. Up in trip with cheekpieces back on. Pulled up over fences after a break; reverts to hurdles and probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (14/1 +0%) Jamacho |
14/1(+0%) | (10) Jamacho 14/1, Won 2 handicap hurdles and a handicap chase around 2m in the first half of last season. No impact in the competitive Swinton at Haydock on his reappearance but he could be sharper for the outing and this is easier. Up in trip. Has to prove his stamina for 2m4f but not out of it if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6.5/1 +24%) Solo Saxophone |
6.5/1(+24%) | (3) Solo Saxophone 6.5/1, Has developed into a useful stayer on the Flat and translated that ability back to hurdling with a brace of small-field wins at Worcester last summer. Should be sharper for a recent comeback run on the Flat and respected back hurdling. Two C&D wins in small fields last summer; down the field on recent Flat return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A convincing winner of the Persian War on his penultimate start, this represents a significant drop in grade for ACCIDENTAL REBEL, who has a fine record over C&D. The nine-year-old may have too much class for the likes of easy Warwick scorer Everyonesgame and Finisk River, who has won three of his last four starts. Galata Bridge and Merry Berry cannot be ruled out either.
This is a step up in class for GALATA BRIDGE but he's one of few in this line-up who doesn't have form/fitness queries against him and might be up to defying a small rise. Finisk River represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and could be a threat if ready to roll after 7 months off. Fergal O'Brien pair Accidental Rebel and Merry Berry, who has a good strike-rate but hasn't been seen for 12 months, are others to consider.
Charlie Longsdon has two runners with good chances and progressive novice EVERYONESGAME earns the vote.

1st (3) (5/1 -43%) Rock The House |
5/1(-43%) | (3) Rock The House 5/1, Not the easiest to trust but has been in good form lately, completing a double at Ffos Las 20 days ago. Showed a good attitude that day and is likely to go well in his hat-trick bid. Two narrow Ffos Las wins under Gavin Sheehan and could well complete hat-trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (2.25/1 +0%) Lighthouse Mill |
2.25/1(+0%) | (7) Lighthouse Mill 2.25/1, 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 25 days ago. Has found some consistency of late and seems likely to go well again. Off the mark in good style at Stratford (2m6f); up 9lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 -11%) Sermando |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Sermando 5/1, First run since leaving Jonjo O'Neill when 15/2, improved to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to firm) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Remains well treated on old form, so one to consider. Fakenham winner on debut for yard; 5lb rise might not stop him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (12/1 +70%) Inspector Lynley |
12/1(+70%) | (8) Inspector Lynley 12/1, No impact in bumpers or a trio of novice hurdles (unseated on handicap debut at Newton Abbot last time). Others make more appeal. Little in novices and 50-1 when unseating on last month's handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (33/1 +34%) Ulysses |
33/1(+34%) | (10) Ulysses 33/1, Won here in summer of 2021 but has offered little since and is best watched from out of the handicap. C&D winner two years ago but little since and 7lb out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (4.5/1 +50%) Asserted |
4.5/1(+50%) | (1) Asserted 4.5/1, Winning novice hurdler for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland in summer 2021. Failed to land a blow on both outings for Christian Williams later that year and not a great deal of encouragement on return from long absence on debut for current yard at Perth. Well held on stable debut/first start for 17 months at Perth in April. |

7th (6) (5/1 -11%) Sufi |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Sufi 5/1, 14/1, back to form when 8-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 8 days ago, suited by way race developed. Seemed to have a bit in hand but that came on the back of an absence and a quick turnaround doesn't look ideal. No penalty for last week's Stratford win and live claims if repeating the effort. |

8th (4) (25/1 -25%) Black Buble |
25/1(-25%) | (4) Black Buble 25/1, Fair handicap hurdler who returned from a long absence with a tame display at this course 25 days ago. Might strip fitter for it and this distance is more suitable. Well beaten over inadequate trip here on return from more than a year off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for LIGHTHOUSE MILL after a stylish success over further at Stratford, the son of Leading Light can follow up off a 9lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of the hat-trick-seeking Rock The House and Sufi, who won well at Stratford last week. Sermando also have the form to get involved.
LIGHTHOUSE MILL is going the right way now and holds solid claims of making all in the same way he did at Stratford earlier in the month. Sermando and the hat-trick seeking Rock The House look the main dangers.
Lots to consider but preference is for SERMANDO (nap) after his Fakenham success.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
