3.5

3.33
3.33/1(-77%)
(4) The Grey Falco 3.33/1, Made up into a fairly useful novice hurdler last winter and all the better for a breathing operation when landing first handicap at Haydock a month ago. 2 lb rise still leaves him very competitive.

100
100/1(-52%)

3rd (3) (2.5/1 +29%) Dreaming Blue
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(3) Dreaming Blue 2.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m). Didn't offer much on Warwick hurdles debut last winter but left that form well behind to win 10-runner maiden over C&D 18 days ago. Respected under a penalty.

50
50/1(+50%)

16
16/1(-88%)
(2) Chris Cool 16/1, Best effort in bumpers at Ayr in November and made a successful debut over hurdles in a weak affair at Bangor (16.7f) the following month. More needed to defy a penalty.

0.91
0.91/1(+39%)
(6) Radetzky March 0.91/1, Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but well held over hurdles. However, made a mockery of opening mark quickly switched to fences at Fakenham last week and can defy a penalty.
5
2nd (5) (3.5/1 +36%) Out The Glen
3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(5) Out The Glen 3.5/1, Encouraging fourth for new yard in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon on return and duly built on that when winning at Leicester. Not so good at Fontwell since but worth another chance.

10
10/1(-100%)
(3) Marettimo 10/1, Seventeen-race maiden over hurdles but off the mark at the first attempt over fences at Taunton last week under this rider. Respected under a penalty.

2
6th (2) (14/1 -65%) Fazayte
14
14/1(-65%)
(2) Fazayte 14/1, Well held on sole start last season but shaped as if retaining all of ability on second start back. Bred to make a chaser but let down by jumping on chase bow. Headgear on and can do better.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Paddy's Poem 11/1, Consistent sort who looked better than ever when scoring at Wincanton in March. Run a fortnight later at the Cheltenham Festival is easily excused but a rare poor effort here on return last month.
6
1st (6) (1.88/1 +6%) Douglas Talking
1.88
1.88/1(+6%)
(6) Douglas Talking 1.88/1, Bumper winner who looked a work in progress over hurdles but is every inch a chaser on looks so no surprise he made a winning start in this sphere at Musselburgh 11 days ago, making all. More to come.
1
2nd (1) (3.5/1 +13%) Torpillo
3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(1) Torpillo 3.5/1, Useful hurdler who made all to score on chase debut at Warwick (2m) over 2 years ago. Failed to build on that after and limited promise back from a lengthy absence at Cheltenham in December.

5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Somekindofstar 5.5/1, Positive start to the season when runner-up off this mark at Fontwell (21.6f) and quickly back to form when resuming winning ways at Fakenham last month. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip.

4th (5) (8/1 -33%) Darebin
8
8/1(-33%)
(5) Darebin 8/1, Temperamental chaser who bounced back in a change of headgear to win at Fontwell in October. Has run plenty of good races here (3-time C&D winner) but latest fourth wasn't one of them.
4
5th (4) (3/1 +25%) Desque De L'Isle
3
3/1(+25%)
(4) Desque De L'Isle 3/1, Improved when scoring readily at Ffos Lat on return. Consistent rather than progressive since but should be on the premises here.

4.5
4.5/1(-50%)
(16) Whowonthetoss 4.5/1, Stepped up on reappearance run when second of 16 in 2 maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 33 days ago. Solid contender.

2.75/1(-22%)
(10) Itwasfate 2.75/1, Improved from hurdling debut when second of 18 in 2m maiden (4/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 53 days ago, running on. Solid claims of going one better.

6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(11) Noble Birth 6.5/1, Did no better for debut in this sphere when sixth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Naas (15.8f, soft, 12/1) 46 days ago.

LTO Selection:
13:55 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(6) C'est Quelqu'un 2.12/1, Fair maiden chaser in France and ran his best race over hurdles for new connections when head second here (17.7f) 10 days ago. Looks the one to beat racing from the same mark again.

2nd (7) (3.33/1 +45%) Pilsdon Pen
3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(7) Pilsdon Pen 3.33/1, Showed little in maiden hurdles but sprung an 80-1 surprise on handicap debut, battling well to win at Wincanton last month. 6 lb rise is fair and should be involved if he can confirm his improvement.
3
3rd (3) (3.6/1 +20%) Spike Jones
3.6
3.6/1(+20%)
(3) Spike Jones 3.6/1, Bumper winner who has shown fair form when third in maiden hurdles at Ffos Las and Sedgefield (hood on). Considered now going into handicaps.

8.5
8.5/1(-55%)
(4) After The Fox 8.5/1, Matched the form of his earlier Chepstow win when fifth at Fontwell last time, having been raised 7 lb for that success. Clearly in good heart and isn't one to dismiss back down in trip.
1
5th (1) (7/1 -27%) Cheng Gong
7
7/1(-27%)
(1) Cheng Gong 7/1, Has shown signs of temperament in the past but is running consistently well lately, placed again at Market Rasen latest. Wouldn't need to improve much on recent form to be in the mix once again.
8
6th (8) (40/1 -264%) Sirop De Menthe
40
40/1(-264%)
(8) Sirop De Menthe 40/1, Winless since 2016 and ended last season in poor form. No sign of arresting the slide on his return at Ffos Las last month and he's easy to look beyond.
9
|F| (9) (33/1 -50%) Cronk Y Knox
33
33/1(-50%)
(9) Cronk Y Knox 33/1, Reached the frame twice this winter before running no sort of race at Uttoxeter last month. Has slipped further down the weights and would have place claims if able to bounce back.
5
|PU| (5) (10/1 -25%) Kenny George
10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Kenny George 10/1, Goes well here, twice runner-up over C&D last season (sole win also over C&D). No impact yet this year, still looking rusty when well behind After The Fox latest. Hopes pinned on return to Fontwell.
2
|PU| (2) (22/1 -120%) Gastara
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Gastara 22/1, Proved competitive from slightly higher marks last spring when trained by Johnny Farrelly and wasn't given a hard time on stable debut at Exeter last month. Not out of it if able to build on that.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Boughtbeforelunch 7.5/1, Scored at Ludlow in May but off 4 months and not in top form of late, weakening out of it at Doncaster 19 days ago.
3
2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Captain Tommy
3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Captain Tommy 3/1, Gained breakthrough success over fences on debut for this yard at Uttoxeter. Back below that winning mark and excuses for last 2 runs, so he's dangerous to rule out down in trip.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Young Offender
4
4/1(+11%)
(4) Young Offender 4/1, Hurdles winner who impressed when making a successful switch to chasing at Chepstow (26f) in October, forging clear. Extended 30f may have stretched him at Exeter but needed to see more at Uttoxeter.
1
4th (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Eclair Mag
3.33
3.33/1(-21%)
(1) Eclair Mag 3.33/1, :Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen in January 2021. Record has been mixed since, unable to sustain effort at Lingfield last month.

5th (5) (4.5/1 -35%) Smuggler's Blues
4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(5) Smuggler's Blues 4.5/1, Race was rather handed to him when snapping a lengthy losing sequence in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick a month ago. Profile isn't that appealing but this isn't a strong race.
7
6th (7) (10/1 -54%) Prairie Town
10
10/1(-54%)
(7) Prairie Town 10/1, Successful at Plumpton in May and cast aside several tame efforts when a shock 40/1 scorer over C&D 3 weeks ago. 6 lb rise fair enough but no banker to be in the same mood.
2
|PU| (2) (18/1 -50%) Redzor
18
18/1(-50%)
(2) Redzor 18/1, Pulled up in National Hunt Chase at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. Off 22 months after and failed to complete in the mud at Sandown in January. In top hands but clearly has a lot to prove.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Love Envoi 0.91/1, Wexford bumper winner who progressed further to complete the hat-trick over hurdles in 7-runner novice at Lingfield (2m) 27 days ago, kept up to work. Back up in trip and will go on improving.

2.25
2.25/1(+50%)
(5) Speech Bubble 2.25/1, Bumper winner who built on her hurdling debut promise when scoring with a bit in hand at Newbury (20.5f) 29 days ago. Open to further improvement and not to be underestimated.

5
3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) Legendary Rhythm
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Legendary Rhythm 8/1, Improved form when landing mares' handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in March. Not disgraced either start this autumn in that sphere but never involved sent chasing last month. Had wind op since.

20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Roxyfet 20/1, Prolific at Sedgefield but retains little ability nowadays, struggling when hampered and unseated last back there on Boxing Day. Continues to tumble in the weights as a result.

5th (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Zamani
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(4) Zamani 2.75/1, Has reached frame over hurdles on last 2 starts and ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Plumpton 17 days ago. That form puts him in the mix and he has more solid credentials than most.

50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Torrent Des Mottes 50/1, Back on the scoresheet when landing a 16.5f handicap at Huntingdon last March but little encouragement to glean from recent efforts, pulled up on both starts in December.
3
7th (3) (7.5/1 -25%) Falcon Sun
7.5
7.5/1(-25%)
(3) Falcon Sun 7.5/1, Ungenuine type but he was able to take advantage of his reduced mark in handicap hurdle here in December. No impact in a deeper race at Plumpton since and now back over the larger obstacles.
7
8th (7) (10/1 -82%) Royal Act
10
10/1(-82%)
(7) Royal Act 10/1, Ended a long losing run from 6 lb out of handicap at Bangor 5 weeks ago, rallying to lead close home. Profile suggests a follow up is unlikely but this is a weak race so he could well feature.

1.2
1.2/1(+40%)
(7) Dr Kananga 1.2/1, Point winner who arrives firmly on the up, impressively making all in 26f Chepstow handicap 13 days ago. Has 12 lb hike to overcome but he still looks the one to beat.

2.12
2.12/1(+39%)
(4) Poppa Poutine 2.12/1, Dual hurdle winner last term who posted good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f) 28 days ago, just failing. Still low mileage over fences, so he ought to be competitive again.

3.5
3.5/1(-56%)
(1) Musical Slave 3.5/1, Had breathing operation before good third of 9 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f) 37 days ago. Can give another good account if his jumping holds up.

10
10/1(+29%)
(3) Potters Legend 10/1, Veteran comes her in decent nick, visored when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26.3f) 47 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Not the best of jumpers but still needs considering.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(3) Un Prophete 1.62/1, Several good placed efforts last term and was set to win this (off this mark) when coming down 2 out 12 months ago. Not so good next 3 starts, including on return, but no surprise if he bounced back.

1.75
1.75/1(+7%)
(5) Uallrightharry 1.75/1, Creditable placed efforts 3 of 4 starts this season, second of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 29 days ago, no match for winner. Can go well again.

8/1(+33%)
(2) Abaya Du Mathan 8/1, Fairly useful chaser in France. Completed for the first time for this yard when fourth over 2½m at Wincanton but fell heavily at the first at Plumpton 11 days later.
LTO Selection:
16:22 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Back Bar 3.5/1, One-time fair hurdler (for Gordon Elliott) who is better known for his pointing exploits, and has been in good order lately, so one to note for a yard that does well in hunters.
5
2nd (5) (2/1 +20%) Hotel Du Nord
2
2/1(+20%)
(5) Hotel Du Nord 2/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Jessica Harrington. Latest Rules effort (in hunter at Cheltenham 9 months ago) was a bit underwhelming but he's shown his well-being in points recently. Considered.

1.5
1.5/1(+25%)
(3) Drakes Well 1.5/1, Fair and consistent hurdler/chaser for David Bridgwater who should strip fitter for his recent reappearance in points. Definite player.

10
10/1(-25%)
(6) Path To Freedom 10/1, Modest chaser who wasn't disgraced in a handicap at Catterick last time, but he's likely to be outclassed by at least one of his rivals.
2

18
18/1(-50%)
(2) Bingo Star 18/1, Unseated on his only outing under Rules almost a year ago and, while he's a 5-time winner in points, he might well need this first outing since last summer.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Leicester Hunter Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(7) Robin Des Smoke 22/1, Winning pointer at fifth attempt. No better than mid-field in a couple of bumpers but stepped up markedly on hurdling debut when runner-up in a novice at Plumpton. Off 11 months since.
8
1st (8) (18/1 -29%) Lettie Lutz
18
18/1(-29%)
(8) Lettie Lutz 18/1, modest form at best to date over hurdles and arrives on the back of a rather dismal display at Exeter, so he's firmly up against it in this grade of handicap.
2
2nd (2) (9/1 +10%) Amenon
9
9/1(+10%)
(2) Amenon 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler in France (fairly useful over fences). Better effort for new yard when second of 4 at Doncaster 69 days ago, but he seems rather fragile based on his profile.
1
3rd (1) (7/1 -27%) Wicked West
7
7/1(-27%)
(1) Wicked West 7/1, Improved model for new stable, winning maiden/novice events last year. Placed last 3 starts and, while he has little in hand, he should give another good account.

1.5
1.5/1(+45%)
(4) Essential Jaco 1.5/1, Easily landed a novice at Lingfield on Rules debut, then bumped into a couple of good prospects on both subsequent outings. Back up in trip, he's still very much one to take seriously.

2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(6) Contemplatemyfaith 2.5/1, Well-bred individual who opened his account at the third attempt over hurdles at Bangor last month. That form received a huge boost at the weekend, so he may have been let in lightly.
5
6th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Grangeclare Glory
7.5
7.5/1(+6%)
(5) Grangeclare Glory 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who arrives on te back of a respectable third at Doncaster 19 days ago. Runner-up has boosted that form since, and blinkers could extract some improvement.
9
|PU| (9) (25/1 +24%) Colonial Empire
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Colonial Empire 25/1, Bumper winner who has offered a glimmer of promise over hurdles to date. Could do better now handicapping after a break, so not completely discounted.

28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Moonlight Flit 28/1, Runner-up in Warwick novice on his hurdling bow before falling last (still close up) in 20f Ffos Las novice. Latest run was disappointing but too soon to write him off now trying handicaps.

10
10/1(-122%)
(6) Red Windsor 10/1, Runner-up both starts to date, the better effort coming when just collared late at Plumpton 58 days ago. Should give another good account under a likely positive ride.

2/1(+20%)
(3) Galudon 2/1, Half-brother to 3 winners and made a positive start when runner-up in a bumper at Gowran for Sam Curling 11 months ago. New yard will likely have him ready to go, so he's the one to beat.

20
20/1(-167%)
(1) Duke Of Deception 20/1, Ex-pointer who stepped up on his Rules debut when fourth at Ayr 80 days ago and, provided he's not found wanting for fitness, he could well be in the mix.

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.
