Races & Results Thursday 3rd November 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(9) Silkstone 3.33/1, Poor maiden who went agonisingly close to finally opening his hurdling account in 14-runner C&D handicap 37 days ago, headed final 100 yds. Nudged up 2 lb but obvious player if turning up in similar form.
5
2nd (5) (7.5/1 -7%) Lady Babs
7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(5) Lady Babs 7.5/1, Dual 2m winner at Market Rasen. Has yet to reproduce that form at another track but wasn't seen to best effect after 10 weeks off when fourth over C&D last month and needs considering.
2
3rd (2) (3.33/1 +45%) Lord Caprio
3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(2) Lord Caprio 3.33/1, C&D winner who returned to form from an unpromising position when runner-up at Hexham in May. Caught further back than ideal there the following month and has since added to his tally on the Flat. Has to be taken seriously.
7
4th (7) (7/1 -100%) Misty Mani
7
7/1(-100%)
(7) Misty Mani 7/1, Improved further to complete a hat-trick in 8-runner handicap hurdle (10/3) at Market Rasen (18.6f, good) 40 days ago, asserting final 100 yds. 6 lb rise demands more but can give another good account.
1
5th (1) (22/1 -22%) Astroman
22
22/1(-22%)
(1) Astroman 22/1, Fair winner on the Flat (stays 1½m) who has matched that form over hurdles. Fourth in a Market Rasen handicap at the start of July but disappointing both starts subsequently, including in a first-time visor on yard debut last time. Down in grade but enough to prove at present.
4
6th (4) (40/1 +0%) Dromolought Lad
40
40/1(+0%)
(4) Dromolought Lad 40/1, Showed a bit of ability in maiden hurdles for previous connections in Ireland and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests starting out for Mark Walford at Market Rasen in August. However, has been pulled both starts since.
10
7th (10) (12/1 -33%) Burnage Boy
12
12/1(-33%)
(10) Burnage Boy 12/1, Poor maiden on Flat/over jumps who continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage. Others more persuasive.
6
8th (6) (50/1 -79%) Cornell
50
50/1(-79%)
(6) Cornell 50/1, Poor on Flat and just modest form at best over hurdles. Others preferred from a stiff-opening mark.
3
9th (3) (6/1 -33%) Zamond
6
6/1(-33%)
(3) Zamond 6/1, Landed 2m1f handicap hurdle at Cartmel in July and quickly put a poor run behind him when third in 7-runner event at Stratford (16.3f) 19 days ago, sticking to task. Likely to be on the premises again.
8
|U| (8) (6.5/1 +41%) Temper Trap
6.5
6.5/1(+41%)
(8) Temper Trap 6.5/1, Showed only poor form completed starts over hurdles in late 2020 but Flat form provides hope for better now handicapping.
11
10th (11) (22/1 -38%) Tuff Mccool
22
22/1(-38%)
(11) Tuff Mccool 22/1, Took a small step back in the right direction following a breathing operation/9 months off when 2 lengths third of 5 to Misty Mani in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) in July. That form has worked out better than expected, so not dismissed off same mark.
LTO Selection:
12:42 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Herbiers 2.75/1, Successful 3 times in a very productive juvenile campaign and back to winning ways in 19.5f Doncaster handicap in November. Never a threat in the Swinton in May and while this is easier, he does need a good test at 2m. Has had a wind op.
5
2nd (5) (7/1 -133%) Grivetana
7
7/1(-133%)
(5) Grivetana 7/1, Ran out an impressive winner of sole start in France. Bombed on stable debut but back on track when taking 2m Chepstow novice in March. Denied a clear run when fourth on handicap debut a month later and he retains potential this season.
3
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Long Stay
2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(3) Long Stay 2.25/1, Bumper winner in 2020 and landed the odds on second hurdles start 2 months later. Missed all of 2021 but well prepared when runner-up in a tongue tie on handicap debut last month, headed close home. Given time to recover from that and he's of interest.
7
4th (7) (25/1 +11%) Just The Man
25
25/1(+11%)
(7) Just The Man 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth to Sea The Sea at Plumpton in September. Failed to settle and jump fluently at Chepstow a month ago.

5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(4) Castel Gandolfo 5.5/1, Successful twice over hurdles at around 2m during 2021 and filled runner-up spot on 4 occasions since. Another sound effort when fourth at Cheltenham a fortnight ago, caught further back than ideal.

4.5
4.5/1(+47%)
(8) Jack's A Legend 4.5/1, Showed a fair bit in bumpers and produced a standout effort over hurdles when third in decent C&D maiden in December. Well beaten in handicaps last twice and bit to prove on return, though market can guide.
2
7th (2) (14/1 +0%) Bashful Boy
14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Bashful Boy 14/1, Dual hurdles winner for Suzi Best and came good for new stable at Market Rasen in June. Not at best in first-time blinkers at Cartmel and also disappointing at Worcester when last seen in July. Usual tongue tie off on the back of wind surgery.

(1) The Churchill Lad 1.62/1, Fair handicap winner on the level for this yard and made successful hurdles debut in clear-cut fashion at Cartmel a week later (17.2f), leading on bridle between last 2. That form isn't easy to assess but he's open to improvement.

10
10/1(+85%)
(4) Le Balcon 10/1, Made frame twice from 4 starts in Irish points but showed nothing switched to Rules at Market Rasen in March. Down in trip.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Poetic Music 0.62/1, Talented enough to win first 3 bumpers (junior) and far from disgraced when sixth in the Champion Bumper. In top hands and she should take plenty of beating.

3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(4) Dollar Bae 3.5/1, Easy winner of sole point and followed up in a Wincanton bumper on Rules debut. Similar form under a penalty next 2 starts and sure to step up plenty on her opening hurdles run (ran green and made mistakes) at Warwick.

5
5/1(-11%)
(9) Tintern Abbey 5/1, Promising third at Punchestown last spring prior to making a winning start for Alastair Ralph in Ludlow bumper just before Christmas. Found out in a better race at Cheltenham a month later and off since. Hurdles debut.

18/1(-29%)
(5) Ena Baie 18/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 9/1, pulled up in novice chase at Cork (17.6f, heavy) 18 days ago, tailed off when pulled up early in straight. Others more persuasive.

|PU| (3) (12/1 +14%) Carnet De Stage
12
12/1(+14%)
(3) Carnet De Stage 12/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 10 in handicap chase (9/1) at Limerick (19.4f, soft) 11 days ago. Solid claims.
(6) Fiston Du Mou 2.75/1, Looked a different proposition for new stable when scoring at Perth in May but took a backward step at Perth in July and he looked hard work prior to unseating on reappearance (out of the weights). This an easier assignment.
4
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Dragonfruit
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(4) Dragonfruit 3.5/1, Doubled his chase tally at Bangor (3m) on return a year ago and backed it up with a creditable second at Ayr. Ended campaign in slightly disappointing fashion and stamina for this far to prove but returns with yard in good nick.
2
3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Touch Kick
22
22/1(-38%)
(2) Touch Kick 22/1, Useful chaser at best for Paul Nicholls but struggled for new yard in 2020/21. Had another wind op and shaped as though back in form from his reduced mark at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Definite player if building on that up in trip.
5
4th (5) (4/1 +33%) Chanting Hill
4
4/1(+33%)
(5) Chanting Hill 4/1, Resumed winning ways at Catterick in March but quickly into her shell to end the spring so has a bit to prove on reappearance.

4
4/1(-20%)
(3) Baron De Midleton 4/1, Dual hurdles winner during 2019/20 campaign, (latterly a course novice). Winless since and form has a patchy look to it, turning in a laboured effort on rare start over timber a month ago. Hopes rest on this marked step up in trip.
1

5
5/1(-25%)
(1) Byzantium Lad 5/1, Winning pointer who made successful hurdles bow at Ludlow in February 2021. Sound chase debut at Chepstow in December but shaped like one with problems both starts after. Has had a wind op prior to reappearance and could bounce back.
LTO Selection:
13:47 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 27f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Huelgoat 0.11/1, French bumper winner who failed to better modest form over hurdles but different proposition over fences, completing a hat-trick with little fuss at Fontwell just under a fortnight ago. Should be more to come so another 6 lb rise may not prevent him bringing up the 4-timer.
6
2nd (6) (5.5/1 +66%) Zyon
5.5
5.5/1(+66%)
(6) Zyon 5.5/1, Back to winning ways fitted with first-time blinkers at Kempton in May (21f). Raced lazily without headgear 5 months later at Warwick and blinkers quickly back on returned to fences.

(5) Mr Rumbalicious 3.33/1, Dam half-sister to useful 2m hurdle winner/useful chaser (17f winner) Ned Buntline. Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, again below form last time though he's certainly in the right hands now tackling obstacles.

7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(8) Risk And Roll 7.5/1, Caused a surprise when making second start for new yard a winning one at Huntingdon (25f) in January and largely performed well thereafter last term. Generally needs a run to sharpen him up, though.

1.88/1(+16%)
(4) Didtheyleaveuoutto 1.88/1, Useful sort who reached the frame for the second year running in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) last month. Cheekpieces now added for the first time over hurdles and posted a good second in this contest 12 months ago. Likely contender.

7
7/1(+22%)
(3) Flemcara 7/1, Dual winner in 2020/21 and returned with fine second over C&D last November. Unable to build on that but handicapper has reacted accordingly and is one for shortlist.

3.5
3.5/1(+53%)
(6) Geordie Des Champs 3.5/1, Has been holding his form well this season at the age of 11, opening his account for the campaign at Uttoxeter (23.3f) last month before a solid third over the same C&D. Should go well again.

16
16/1(-33%)
(5) Enqarde 16/1, Progressive over fences in recent years, landing Tommy Whittle at Haydock last term and ending campaign with creditable second over same C&D. Not particularly well treated on return over hurdles here, though.

(2) Mahon Point 2.5/1, Winning pointer who scored in taking style on his hurdles debut in 8-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, 9/4) 10 months ago. Yard is going well so he's very much one to consider on his comeback.

(3) Snipe 3.33/1, Third sole outing in Irish points and he made a promsing hurdling debut when second of 10 in novice at Hexham (20.1f) 26 days ago. In the picture with improvement on the cards.

80
80/1(-60%)
(10) Tallulah Myla 80/1, Very green when last of 9 in minor event at this course (6f, 16/1) on debut 7 days ago. Needs to leave first effort well behind.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) East Street 4/1, Fair hurdler who doubled his tally in a handicap at Hexham 6 months ago. Looks set to take to chasing, so he's an obvious player on reappearance.

4/1(+0%)
(4) Half Shot 4/1, Lightly raced for current yard and made a terrific start over fences when landing a 6-runner C&D handicap a month ago. Makes plenty of appeal despite going up 6 lb.

12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Jelski 12/1, Won at Haydock over hurdles in March and career best when following up over 2¾m at Cartmel. Back to form over fences recently (shaped better than the result last time) and drop back in trip should suit.
3
(3) (14/1 -17%) Fusain
14
14/1(-17%)
(3) Fusain 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead but has failed to match that form in two starts over hurdles for current stable. Up in trip/back over fences, now.

6
6/1(+0%)

(2) Grace A Vous Enki 2.75/1, Won twice over hurdles last term and wasn't disgraced on return in that sphere at Newton Abbot last month. Previous chase effort for current yard was disappointing, though, and others more appealing.

4
4/1(+53%)
(6) Guillemot 4/1, Scored over hurdles at Ascot in impressive fashion in February before running too badly to be true at Warwick the following month. Fell early on sole previous outing in this sphere and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

4.5/1(+50%)
(4) Yoshimi 4.5/1, Best effort since winning at Leicester in August when third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago, though didn't fully convince with finishing effort. Nevertheless, not ruled out on polytrack debut.

5
5/1(-25%)
(11) Epic Express 5/1, Won over 6f here in September and shaped very encouragingly from poor draw when second in similar event at this course (6f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat if able to continue his improvement over longer trip.

11
11/1(+21%)

12
12/1(+14%)
(1) Shark Two One 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Overall profile is in-and-out and has been below par on last 2 outings, so others preferred despite sliding mark.

(5) Poncho 4.5/1, Has quite a speedy pedigree and made a solid start when second at Market Rasen 168 days ago. Capable of going one better with improvement on the cards.
7
(7) (8/1 +76%) Welsh Charger
8
8/1(+76%)
(7) Welsh Charger 8/1, Showed a bit when sixth at Bangor on debut 6 months ago but he appears to be more of a long-term project.

18
18/1(-29%)
(6) Star Flyer 18/1, Related to winners and offered encouragement when third at Newcastle 9 months ago, albeit looking more of a staying type.

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.
