13:00 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (125/1 -89%) Monition	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) Monition 125/1, Long-standing maiden in Ireland who has disappointed on 2 of his 3 starts for his present stable, including when pulled up back from 8 months off over fences at Bangor in December. Visor reached for.
4 1st (4) (9/1 -20%) Steel Wave	9 9/1(-20%)	(4) Steel Wave 9/1, Temperamental sort who upped his game to end losing run at Stratford. Not at his best on next 2 starts but back on track when runner-up at Leicester last week. Much depends on what mood he's in.
6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +36%) Ivilnoble	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(6) Ivilnoble 4.5/1, Just the one win from 16 starts in this sphere but arrives here on the back of a string of decent effort, including second at Hereford (25f), with Family Pot just behind in third. Respected.
10 3rd (10) (3.5/1 +61%) Earcomesbob	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(10) Earcomesbob 3.5/1, Off mark in points (awarded race) at second attempt. Only modest form under Rules but it's early days and his handicap debut third at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) shows he can be competitive from his mark.
1 4th (1) (4.5/1 -64%) The Toojumpa	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(1) The Toojumpa 4.5/1, Heavily backed to make winning yard debut at Worcester (23f) in October. Runner-up at Wetherby on her sole completion in 3 starts since. Big player if the fences don't get in the way.
2 5th (2) (9/1 +25%) Finalshot	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Finalshot 9/1, Fair hurdle winner but yet to match that form over fences, pulling up here when last seen in May. First run for new yard after leaving Henry Daly. Also sports a hood for first time.
5 6th (5) (3.33/1 +5%) Family Pot	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(5) Family Pot 3.33/1, C&D winner in November and third on all 3 starts since, probably just stretched by 25f when caught for second late on by Ivilnoble at Hereford latest. Should give another good account.
11 7th (11) (14/1 +0%) Midnight Calamity	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Midnight Calamity 14/1, Lightly-raced mare who has been pulled up on 3 of her four outings this term and looks up against it again.
7 8th (7) (28/1 -211%) Duc Kauto	28 28/1(-211%)	(7) Duc Kauto 28/1, Has largely struggled in recent times but did take a bit of a step back in the right direction when third at Taunton (23f) 10 days ago. Needs to build on that now.
8 9th (8) (16/1 -33%) Take Em Out	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Take Em Out 16/1, Matched fair hurdles form when landing a Stratford chase in July 2019. Restricted to just 7 runs since, running respectably when fourth of 13 at Hereford (21f, soft) 16 days ago.
9 10th (9) (100/1 -257%) Pembroke House	100 100/1(-257%)	(9) Pembroke House 100/1, Veteran who was having his first outing in over a year when pulled up at Uttoxeter last month. Can only be watched after that.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (100/1 +0%) Kentford Drake	100 100/1(+0%)	(3) Kentford Drake 100/1, 20/1, down the field in a Lingfield AW bumper last month. Quickly switches to hurdles.
5 1st (5) (6/1 +40%) Monviel	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Monviel 6/1, Half-brother to a couple of winners and he's shown ability when sixth in a bumper/novice hurdle in recent months. Should have more to offer.
2 2nd (2) (0.33/1 +18%) Duke Of Rockingham	0.33 0.33/1(+18%)	(2) Duke Of Rockingham 0.33/1, Kayf Tara gelding who landed a bumper at Uttoxeter and was unfortunate not to make a winning start over hurdles when a fast-finishing second at Lingfield in November. Can make amends.
8 3rd (8) (3.5/1 -5%) Name In Lights	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(8) Name In Lights 3.5/1, Showed plenty when second on Sandown hurdle debut in November. Perhaps not over those exertions when well held at the same venue 4 weeks later. Given a bit of time since and could bounce back.
4 4th (4) (22/1 -38%) Learntalot	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Learntalot 22/1, €44,000 Ask half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Ministerforsport. Dam unraced. Duke of Rockingham has to be considered yard first string unless betting suggests otherwise.
11 5th (11) (20/1 +0%) Moorland Rambler	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Moorland Rambler 20/1, Related to winners and showed a bit of potential in a course bumper last month. Starts out over hurdles in a race lacking depth and no surprise were he to hit the frame.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -100%) Moscow Spy	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Moscow Spy 100/1, Has shown a bit in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles but appeals as more one for handicaps over longer trips after this.
7 7th (7) (200/1 -33%) My Rockstar	200 200/1(-33%)	(7) My Rockstar 200/1, Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't offered much in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles under Rules.
1 8th (1) (200/1 +0%) Captain Grinnaway	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Captain Grinnaway 200/1, Looks one for handicaps based on his efforts at Uttoxeter and Chepstow in recent weeks.
10 9th (10) (40/1 +0%) Precious	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) Precious 40/1, Knew her job when making a successful bumper debut at Plumpton last December but hasn't made an impact in 3 runs since, including on her C&D hurdle debut on Boxing Day.
9 \|PU\| (9) (125/1 -150%) Whynotnowken	125 125/1(-150%)	(9) Whynotnowken 125/1, 8/1, last of 10 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) on debut 50 days ago. Can only watch after that.

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

13:30 Ludlow Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (0.33/1 +55%) Zacony Rebel	0.33 0.33/1(+55%)	(1) Zacony Rebel 0.33/1, Lightly-raced ex-pointer who upped his game to open account in novice at Fontwell in October. Backed it up when second in a Huntingdon handicap last month and he sets the standard for rest to aim at.
5 2nd (5) (4/1 -14%) High Tech	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) High Tech 4/1, Fair on Flat in France for Nicolas Clement, successful twice in 2021 and creditable second last time. Joined good yard ahead of hurdle debut and fancied to play a part.
8 3rd (8) (7/1 +42%) Tikitov	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Tikitov 7/1, Pulled up in both points but made a sound start under Rules when third in a Southwell bumper in November. Can make presence felt in race like this on that evidence.
11 4th (11) (33/1 -175%) Sweet Spirit	33 33/1(-175%)	(11) Sweet Spirit 33/1, Lightly-raced 8-y-o and presumably not easiest to train. Showed she retains ability on her 2m Catterick return for a new yard over Christmas but needs to prove she can build on that now.
12 5th (12) (80/1 -142%) Olympe De Gouges	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Olympe De Gouges 80/1, Showed modest form on the first of 2 Flat starts. 25/1, weakening when unseated 2 out on Doncaster hurdle debut 3 weeks ago.
6 6th (6) (150/1 -20%) Outback Frontiers	150 150/1(-20%)	(6) Outback Frontiers 150/1, Has hinted at ability in 2 bumpers/hurdles but not enough to suggest he'll get heavily involved here.
4 7th (4) (40/1 -60%) Fine By Me	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Fine By Me 40/1, Showed ability in bumpers but looks one for the longer term judged on his hurdling debut last month.
3 8th (3) (100/1 -150%) Cheeky Ricco	100 100/1(-150%)	(3) Cheeky Ricco 100/1, Showed some ability when fifth of 10 in a Newcastle bumper for Sean Regan in November 2019 but he's been absent since ahead of his switch to hurdles.
10 9th (10) (50/1 -488%) Kobra	50 50/1(-488%)	(10) Kobra 50/1, Won sole start on Flat in Germany. Stopped quickly when eighth in juvenile hurdle at Leicester on NH debut in November 2020. Off since but dangerous to rule out improvement given who trains her.
2 \|F\| (2) (18/1 -50%) Alternative Fact	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Alternative Fact 18/1, Useful at his best on Flat but he struggled in that sphere in 2021 and didn't shape with any immediate promise when down the field on his Chepstow hurdle debut over Christmas.
9 10th (9) (66/1 +34%) Volatore	66 66/1(+34%)	(9) Volatore 66/1, Well held in 2 bumpers last season. Showed a bit more when fifth on her C&D hurdle debut/reappearance but a fair bit more will be needed to go close.
7 \|PU\| (7) (150/1 -127%) Regal Pretender	150 150/1(-127%)	(7) Regal Pretender 150/1, Showed a bit on the first of 2 bumper starts early last summer but would be a bit of a surprise winner now hurdling after a break.

6 2nd (6) (11/1 -57%) Acey Milan	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Acey Milan 11/1, Aintree novice handicap chase winner in October 2020 but has largely struggled since, including well held back hurdling on his reappearance. Only midfield over fences at Haydock since.
3 3rd (3) (11/1 -83%) Jepeck	11 11/1(-83%)	(3) Jepeck 11/1, Veteran who bounced back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark over 21f here 12 days ago. In control a long way out on that occasion and respected despite a 6 lb rise.
7 4th (7) (6/1 +0%) Lord Of Kerak	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Lord Of Kerak 6/1, Fairly useful winning novice hurdler last term. Made a sound enough return to action after wind surgery when fifth of 10 in 20.5f Ayr handicap last month and he may come on for the outing.
5 5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Valtor	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Valtor 12/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ended his time for Nicky Henderson in good order and made reasonable start for his new stable when third over fences at Ascot last month.
2 6th (2) (22/1 +21%) Captain Drake	22 22/1(+21%)	(2) Captain Drake 22/1, Placed in Midlands and Welsh Nationals in recent campaigns but pulled up in this season's Welsh National. Remains to be seen if a return to hurdles helps matters.
4 7th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) St Barts	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(4) St Barts 6.5/1, Winning pointer/hurdler who confirmed promise of chase debut when making all at Newbury (3m) last winter. Disappointed in a chase on his Chepstow return but retains potential back hurdling.
1 \|PU\| (1) (11/1 +21%) Geordie Des Champs	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Geordie Des Champs 11/1, Three wins already this season but has found life tougher the last twice, beaten just under 16 lengths when fifth at Ludlow last week. Others hold stronger claims.

7 1st (7) (8/1 +50%) Latitude	8 8/1(+50%)	(7) Latitude 8/1, Point bumper winner who made a successful start under Rules in an Aintree bumper in May. Took strong hold and well beaten at Bangor 5 months on and may need more time now hurdling.
5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 -125%) Hometown Hero	7.5 7.5/1(-125%)	(5) Hometown Hero 7.5/1, Irish point winner at second attempt who shaped well when fourth in a 21f maiden at Warwick on NH debut 15 months ago. Given a considerate return at Uttoxeter 5 weeks ago and better expected now.
9 3rd (9) (1.38/1 +31%) Mumbo Jumbo	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(9) Mumbo Jumbo 1.38/1, Runner-up in Newbury bumper a year ago and going the right way over hurdles, second in novice at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard.
1 4th (1) (16/1 -78%) Ballaquane	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Ballaquane 16/1, Promising second in a 7-runner bumper at Wetherby on debut 22 months ago. Shaped as if needing the run switched to hurdling at Uttoxeter on belated return and entitled to come on for that.
6 5th (6) (10/1 +38%) Landen Calling	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Landen Calling 10/1, Modest hurdler. Had wind op before below-par fifth of 8 in novice at Leicester (20.5f) 36 days ago. Tongue strap goes on now with a bit to prove.
4 6th (4) (8.5/1 +39%) Hector Javilex	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(4) Hector Javilex 8.5/1, £32,000 4-y-o, Saddler Maker gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to Frizzante Azeen. Placed on last 2 of 3 starts in Irish points. Wears tongue strap.
8 \|F\| (8) (200/1 -203%) Marni Grey	200 200/1(-203%)	(8) Marni Grey 200/1, Sulamani gelding. Dam, little impact in points, half-sister to 2 point winners. Best watched on belated bow.

10 \|PU\| (10) (100/1 -52%) Sinister Minister	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Sinister Minister 100/1, Modest in bumpers and having left Nigel Twiston-Davies after a couple of hurdle runs, he ran no sort of race in a couple of handicaps for this yard.
11 \|PU\| (11) (250/1 -67%) Stunsail	250 250/1(-67%)	(11) Stunsail 250/1, No solid form.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (9/1 -38%) Native Robin	9 9/1(-38%)	(3) Native Robin 9/1, Improved his strike rate with a brace of wins this term, latterly when making most over C&D 4 weeks ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.
7 2nd (7) (8.5/1 -13%) Larkbarrow Lad	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(7) Larkbarrow Lad 8.5/1, Temperamental sort who extended his long losing run at Taunton 3 weeks ago, found wanting when push came to shove. On a good mark if blinkers help him, though.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +0%) Esprit De Somoza	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Esprit De Somoza 4/1, Much more polished returned to fences when cashing on a falling mark at Wincanton last month. That wasn't a great race and he's up 7 lb here.
2 4th (2) (40/1 -60%) Abaya Du Mathan	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Abaya Du Mathan 40/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but predictably struggled from 18 lb out of the handicap on first outing for this yard at Aintree last month. Fell heavily at Plumpton since and blinkers now added.
8 5th (8) (7.5/1 -15%) White Moon	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(8) White Moon 7.5/1, Lightly raced in recent times and form is decidedly patchy, failing to offer much resistance in C&D race won by Esprit De Somoza last month. Cheekpieces reached for.
5 6th (5) (5.5/1 +0%) Iron Mike	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(5) Iron Mike 5.5/1, Runner-up on a couple of occasions over hurdles last term and has made encouraging start to his chasing career, paying the price for a rapid move into contention when fifth to Native Robin over C&D.
9 7th (9) (50/1 +0%) Lure Des Pres	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Lure Des Pres 50/1, Successful twice between the flags, but hasn't really threatened to win under Rules and is 13 lb out of the weights here.
6 \|U\| (6) (5.5/1 +50%) Mont Saint Vincent	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(6) Mont Saint Vincent 5.5/1, Found improvement when opening account in 9-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f) in April. Low-key chase/handicap debut over C&D but he was hampered.
1 \|PU\| (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Oneupmanship	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(1) Oneupmanship 2.5/1, Maiden hurdle winner at Ffos Las in April and encouraging return in handicap company at that venue. Chasing type and in process of making a really good first attempt over fences when falling latest.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (16/1 -14%) No Getaway	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) No Getaway 16/1, Easy winner of 2m4f Sandown handicap chase in February. Shaped as if still in form there next time but cracked stamina-wise in a demanding race when pulled up at Aintree on return.
6 1st (6) (1.62/1 +41%) Karl Philippe	1.62 1.62/1(+41%)	(6) Karl Philippe 1.62/1, Unbeaten in bumpers and opened hurdles account in good style at Exeter last February. Made a promising chase bow/return but was amiss (bled) at Ascot since. Still has potential so he's shortlisted.
7 2nd (7) (6.5/1 -95%) Gardefort	6.5 6.5/1(-95%)	(7) Gardefort 6.5/1, Smart chaser at his best but firmly in the veteran stage nowadays, barely staying at Carlisle (24.5f) when last seen 10 months ago. Down 4 lb though and respected given he's gone well fresh.
3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +9%) Bobhopeornohope	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(3) Bobhopeornohope 2.5/1, Low-mileage hurdler (successful twice) who improved in first-time cheekpieces to open his account over fences at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. 5 lb rise fair so he warrants respect.
5 4th (5) (11/1 -22%) Not A Role Model	11 11/1(-22%)	(5) Not A Role Model 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who jumped well when finding only an improver too good over fences at Chepstow on return. Not so good at Fakenham since and needs to leave that effort behind to feature.
2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +31%) Topofthecotswolds	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(2) Topofthecotswolds 4.5/1, Returned to his best when second in 19f Wetherby handicap but was found out in better company than he normally keeps at Cheltenham next time. Down a couple of pounds and every chance of bouncing back.
4 6th (4) (40/1 -150%) Minella Till Dawn	40 40/1(-150%)	(4) Minella Till Dawn 40/1, Consistent Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who has offered little in a couple of outings for current connections. Continues to tumble in the weights but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

14:45 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (2.5/1 +17%) Whydah Gally	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(10) Whydah Gally 2.5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who posted an excellent second in 23f handicap hurdle at Lingfield in November, travelling strongly long way. Form has been franked, so he's a big player off an unchanged mark.
4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 -65%) Jetaway Joey	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(4) Jetaway Joey 5.5/1, Resumed with Uttoxeter success and posted good fifth of 12 on his handicap bow at Ascot (21.6f) 34 days ago. In the mix eased 1 lb.
2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 +17%) Welsh Saint	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(2) Welsh Saint 7.5/1, Went backwards from his reappearance when only eighth of 12 in 3m handicap hurdle at Haydock 33 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now with a bit to prove.
6 4th (6) (7/1 +22%) Mr Tambourine Man	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Mr Tambourine Man 7/1, Had wind op before respectable fourth of 14 in 19f novice hurdle at Taunton 21 days ago. Blinkers go on now and he can't be discounted back in handicap company.
8 5th (8) (80/1 -100%) Smith's Bay	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Smith's Bay 80/1, Fair winning hurdler for Alan King but he failed to go on in three runs over fences last term. Returns for a new yard now with lots to prove.
7 6th (7) (50/1 -52%) Coal Stock	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Coal Stock 50/1, Dual 19f hurdle winner last term. Pulled up on his sole run for Ralph Smith at Ffos Las in October, so plenty more is required for another new trainer here.
5 7th (5) (10/1 +29%) Midnight Midge	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Midnight Midge 10/1, C&D winner in 2019 but he's failed to add to it over fences since, jumping sketchily when last of 5 here 37 days ago. Possibilities returned to hurdles off a reduced mark.
1 \|B\| (1) (3/1 +70%) Stormy Flight	3 3/1(+70%)	(1) Stormy Flight 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't disgraced on his chasing bow when seventh in 2m handicap at Chepstow 78 days ago. No forlorn hope after his break.
3 \|F\| (3) (10/1 -43%) Henry Gondoff	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) Henry Gondoff 10/1, Wetherby novice hurdle winner last term but he has offered little in two runs over fences this term, cheekpieces on when pulled up at Exeter 19 days ago. Has plenty to prove back in this sphere.
9 \|PU\| (9) (16/1 -113%) Forever Des Long	16 16/1(-113%)	(9) Forever Des Long 16/1, Remains a maiden, but he shaped as though the run was needed when remote third in Exeter novice (18.5f) 19 days ago. Goes handicapping and not totally dismissed.
11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -150%) Age Of Wisdom	40 40/1(-150%)	(11) Age Of Wisdom 40/1, Fair winner over hurdles and on the level but he's been off the track for 18 months. In good hands, and the market should prove a good guide on his comeback run.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (10/1 -100%) Tequila Blaze	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Tequila Blaze 10/1, Improved of late, winning at Ascot on handicap debut before good second at Kempton. Remains unexposed over this sort of trip and can go well again.
5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +58%) So Said I	1.88 1.88/1(+58%)	(5) So Said I 1.88/1, Seemingly benefited form the step up to this trip when opened her account in a mares' novice at Exeter. Creditable fourth of 16 on handicap bow at Ascot next time and has to be taken seriously.
3 2nd (3) (2.25/1 +0%) Terresita	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(3) Terresita 2.25/1, Made a winning debut in 4-runner novice over 2m at Fakenham and quickly resumed progress when scoring on handicap bow there with plenty in hand under this rider. Should go well again up 8 lb.
2 3rd (2) (7/1 -40%) Glimpse Of Gala	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Glimpse Of Gala 7/1, Made all in a mares' novice at Fontwell on first completed outing over hurdles. Big improvement last 2 starts, making a winning handicap bow at Warwick 6 weeks ago. Step up in trip should suit.
7 4th (7) (25/1 -14%) Jubilympics	25 25/1(-14%)	(7) Jubilympics 25/1, Winless since landing 3-runner mares' handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) 15 months ago but not disgraced over fences/hurdles this season. Still, she may find a couple too good. Tongue strap on.
8 5th (8) (18/1 -13%) Lily Glitters	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Lily Glitters 18/1, Responded well to a visor when off the mark at Hereford but long way below that form next time. Others more persuasive.
4 6th (4) (3.33/1 +39%) Malaita	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(4) Malaita 3.33/1, Won bumper at this track in May and made a good start over hurdles when hitting the frame in a couple of novices at Worcester/here (21.f). Stamina to prove now handicapping.
6 7th (6) (18/1 -13%) Jersey Lady	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Jersey Lady 18/1, Bumper winner who was unimpressive when landing a 3-runner Hereford maiden hurdle (2m) in October. Third under a penalty at Wincanton but seemingly barely stayed on handicap bow at Doncaster (24.4f).

2 5th (2) (3/1 -33%) Velasco	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Velasco 3/1, Failed to build on promising Worcester second when only fair fifth in 25f Hereford handicap, hanging left. Hood/tongue strap back on and back on his game when runner-up at Taunton. 4 lb rise fair.
6 6th (6) (8/1 +64%) Vaziani	8 8/1(+64%)	(6) Vaziani 8/1, Stamina his forte, but more miss than hit over hurdles of late and made an inauspicious first attempt over fences in October 2020.

8 1st (8) (3/1 -9%) Hogan's Height	3 3/1(-9%)	(8) Hogan's Height 3/1, Stormed to victory in the Grand Sefton over the National fences in 2019 but it's been slim pickings in 7 outings since. This is clearly a more manageable assignment.
1 2nd (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Another Venture	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(1) Another Venture 1.62/1, Pulled up in Kim Muir at Festival in March but he did win a handicap last term and made a satisfactory start for Nicky Henderson at Cheltenham in November. Possesses the class to be a factor.
2 3rd (2) (6/1 -71%) Not That Fuisse	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Not That Fuisse 6/1, Useful chaser who landed a jumpers' bumper in February. Good efforts in handicap chases to end last term but he did shape as though amiss on the back of a wind op in October. In top hands.
5 4th (5) (40/1 -60%) Bletchley Castle	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Bletchley Castle 40/1, Fair chaser who has shown he retains plenty of enthusiasm in hunters since joining this yard, albeit he has failed to win one. Pulled up when last seen in May and this a tough ask.
3 5th (3) (20/1 +39%) Unai	20 20/1(+39%)	(3) Unai 20/1, Made a positive start to his chase career, placed 3 times before scoring over 3m at Warwick. Off since the summer and lacks the class of a few of these for new yard.
10 6th (10) (16/1 -45%) Ozzy Thomas	16 16/1(-45%)	(10) Ozzy Thomas 16/1, Placed both starts in handicaps last term at up to 26.1f for Henry Oliver. Well-held fourth on point debut for new handler in November and needs to leave that well behind.

7 \|F\| (7) (18/1 +36%) Haven't Time	18 18/1(+36%)	(7) Haven't Time 18/1, £600 4-y-o, third foal, dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 27f) Beer Goggles. Dual-winning pointer, fell last time (Nov 14). This is no easy Rules introduction.

11 \|PU\| (11) (50/1 +0%) Wonderoftheworld	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Wonderoftheworld 50/1, Useful hurdler at his peak though limited impact in hunters last year and this looks a pretty deep race.

3 \|PU\| (3) (2.75/1 -57%) Destinee Royale	2.75 2.75/1(-57%)	(3) Destinee Royale 2.75/1, Progressive sort, winning 3m Wetherby handicap chase in the mud and nearly defying 9 lb rise at Haydock. Still full of running when falling at Cheltenham on return and remains of interest.
4 \|PU\| (4) (4.5/1 +40%) Legends Gold	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(4) Legends Gold 4.5/1, Winning hurdler who has reached a useful level over fences, posting 3 good placed efforts this season. Ought to be thereabouts again.
5 \|PU\| (5) (7/1 -27%) Captain Chaos	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Captain Chaos 7/1, Produced best effort when narrowly prevailing in Ascot listed handicap in February. Now 5 lb below that winning mark but with good reason having shown little so far this season. Headgear back on.

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.
