11:30 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGIC BOUM may be able to make a winning start for Gordon Elliott. The Buck's Boum mare was a good winner of her point-to-point for Ellen Doyle back in February and the form of that race looks solid. The runner-up, Claim Du Brizais, was third in an Aintree bumper in late October, while the third horse, Pure Seduction, won a maiden hurdle in Worcester during the summer. Willie Mullins representative Kaid D'authie is an obvious danger. He was a promising fifth behind Triumph Hurdle winner Majborough on his sole start in France. Eastern Legend is the pick of those with hurdles form but he needs to improve on his showing at Punchestown a fortnight ago.

KAID D'AUTHIE has been off the track since a promising debut in France last spring but he's joined Willie Mullins so fitness is no concern and he's open to plenty of improvement. Eastern Legend sets a pretty good standard for the rest to aim at, while point-recruit Magic Boum needs a second look, too.

EASTERN LEGEND wasn't beaten far in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown festival and shaped like he would come on for his recent return

12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECHOING SILENCE is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Deafening Silence and after showing plenty of the family talent when tasting point-to-point success at Ballycahane back in March, she changed hands at the Cheltenham Festival sale for 410,000 pounds. With that sort of price tag, plenty will be expected of her and she can deliver at the first time of asking for Henry de Bromhead. Autoportrait was a 230,000-euro purchase in November 2023 and is an interesting runner for Mouse Morris. The Authorized gelding was placed behind a decent sort in Kalibre at Auteuil on his second outing in October last year. Dont Tell Jack is another interesting recruit from between the flags.

Cases can be made for a few of these, but KIRSCA DE THAIX changed hands for €200,000 after winning a Le Mans bumper last year and having joined Willie Mullins, she can make a successful switch to hurdling at the expense of another French import in Autoportrait, who ran to a fairly useful level second time up at Auteuil and has since moved yards for a significant sum. Grimaud, Lucy Wang and Echoing Silence are a handful of others to consider, too.

GRIMAUD ran a cracker on his yard debut at Cork last month and has solid claims if he jumps a bit better

Honky Tonk Highway

0.666667
4/6(+47%)
(7) Honky Tonk Highway 4/6, Listed bumper winner on Rules debut here in March. Never in the hunt in Aintree Grade 2 the following month but subsequently underwent a wind op and well clear of the rest when chasing home a smart prospect on return/hurdles bow at Warwick (19f, soft). Major player.
Solid effort at Warwick last month; respected back at the scene of her Listed bumper win.

Hartington

(6) Epinephrine 6/1, Half-sister to 4 winners and shaped well when third in newcomers' race at Auteuil on hurdles debut last October, finishing 7 lengths behind winner Kamsinea, who landed a Grade 2 on her next start. Subsequently changed hands for €100,000 and she's an intriguing candidate on debut for new yard.
Placed twice in France last year; absent for 14 months; market instructive.

12:08 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Hartington returned a comfortable winner at Newbury and can feature once again if proving as effective on today's softer going. However, the underfoot conditions are not a problem for HONKY TONK HIGHWAY, who won a Listed bumper on soft ground here in March and found only the odds-on favourite too good at Warwick on last month's hurdling debut. She can shown the benefit of that experience and land this prize. Juby Ball has shown ability in bumpers and is one to note now hurdling, while Epinephrine is related to winning hurdlers in France and debuts for Venetia Williams' in-form yard.

Several promising types on show, with HONKY TONK HIGHWAY the pick on the back of a highly encouraging hurdles debut second to a potentially smart novice at Warwick. The bumper she landed here in March was a decent contest (the second and third have both won over hurdles since) and she is open to plenty of improvement. French recruit Epinephrine is of strong interest, while Hartington, who improved when scoring at Newbury, and bumper winner Juby Ball also enter calculations.

Armed with her 7lb sex allowance, HONKY TONK HIGHWAY is selected to register a second Sandown win. Juby Ball is second choice.

12:32 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

All eyes here will be on Cheltenham bumper winner JASMIN DE VAUX on his hurdling debut. The Tirwanako gelding already has jumping experience, having won a point-to-point, and will be expected to take high order among the novices this term. His season ended disappointingly at Punchestown last term but he should be able to start his hurdling campaign on a brighter note. The Enabler finished lame at Cork last time and it's fair to draw a line through that run. He won a Listed bumper here last term and appears the one most likely to give the selection a race. Workahead looked like a nice sort when winning his point-to-point and is one to keep an eye on.

JASMIN DE VAUX showed plenty of talent in bumpers and should be well schooled for this first crack at hurdling, so he's preferred to stablemate Joueur Masque, who also tries obstacles for the first time. Returning point winner Workahead is also considered in a competitive event.

WORKAHEAD will need a trip in time but impressed when winning his point & holds a Grade 1 entry for Leopardstown's Christmas festival

13:07 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE YELLOW CLAY looks hard to oppose here after a commanding performance over course and distance last month. The Yeats gelding quickened away in good style when taking the Grade 3 Monksfield Novice Hurdle last time and takes another step up the ladder now. Willie Mullins relies on My Great Mate. He won a decent contest in Galway on his last outing and while he probably needs to improve on that again, the same connections struck with a horse with a similar profile in Tounsivator at this level at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Fleur In The Park was a solid third behind the selection here last time and could take minor honours again.

THE YELLOW CLAY was very impressive in a Grade 3 here last time and can take the next step up the ladder in his stride. Stablemate Patter Merchant will be suited by the step back up in trip and is feared most ahead of My Great Mate.

Apart from an error two out, THE YELLOW CLAY did everything right in a Grade 3 here last month. He should have no trouble following up

13:42 Navan Handicap Hurdle 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish National winner Intense Raffles is the big name in the line-up and it will be interesting to see how he fares over timber. Aintree is the main aim and Bryony Frost is a noteworthy booking on his return to action. However, the vote goes to MY TRUMP CARD, who could be on a nice mark here on his handicap debut. The Albert Bartlett was mentioned as the plan after his maiden hurdle win here in January and he looks to have the potential to improve again this season. A chasing campaign was mooted for him this term and it's interesting he turns out here. The progressive Flicker Of Hope is another to note but is up in grade now.

OSCARS BROTHER produced a career best when taking a 6-runner listed event at Cork and, with the performance supported by a healthy timefigure, he's very much of interest now switched to a handicap from a fair-looking opening mark. My Trump Card, Paggane and Four Clean Aces are a trio of others to consider in an ultra-competitive handicap that is likely to make for strong form.

Several novices here with potential for improvement, and it could pay to side with the Gordon Elliott-trained PRENDS GARDE A TOI.

14:17 Navan Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MISS TEMPO was very good when winning at Naas last time and may be able to bag a follow up success, despite a 10lb hike. The Milan mare jumped well when making all last month and gets into this Listed handicap off a lovely weight. Willie Mullins is well represented with five runners, including Scottish National winner MacDermott. He obviously stays further but has won at this trip over hurdles and was placed at two miles over fences. He commands respect on his return. Interestingly Paul Townend sides with Adamantly Chosen. He made little impression in the Grand National last term and was also well beaten at Punchestown, but he is capable on his day.

SA FUREUR made up into a useful novice chaser last season, a campaign which culminated in this 7-y-o finishing a fine fourth in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. He also put in a good shift when runner-up on return in a big-field handicap hurdle at Navan and is taken to go one better here. Adamantly Chosen is the pick of Paul Townend from five Willie Mullins-trained runners and he is feared most ahead of Miss Tempo.

Last season's Grand Annual fourth SA FUREUR should find this trip within his range and can build on a recent hurdles run at this venue

14:52 Navan Maiden Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Grade 1 winner GOOD LAND should prove the one to beat if taking to fences on his return from an absence. The Blue Bresil gelding was forced to sit out last season with a tendon injury and connections will be keen to make up for lost time. He won at the top level at the Dublin Racing Festival in February 2023 before a solid run to finish fourth in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham the following month. Ile Atlantique was placed twice at Grade 1 level last season and looks the obvious danger on his chase debut. Now Is The Hour will appreciate any rain and is another for the shortlist.

Lots of these bring potential, not least Willie Mullins' useful winning hurdler ILE ATLANTIQUE and he is taken to go in at the first time of asking over fences at the chief expense of form pick Dee Capo. Other chasing debutants Mahon's Way, Good Land and Chosen Witness also need factoring into this intriguing beginners chase along with Now Is The Hour and Backtonormal.

This can go the way of NOW IS THE HOUR, who is a Grade 2-winning hurdler and found the trip too sharp when second on his chasing bow

15:27 Navan NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HE CAN'T DANCE has missed a couple of engagements recently and this looks like a nice opportunity to make a winning start under Rules. The Jukebox Jury gelding cost 300,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point at Monksgrange in March and got a good mention in a recent stable tour of Gordon Elliott's yard. Coyote Spirit ran a nice race when sixth in a strong Punchestown bumper in early May and he could be the one to give the selection most to do. Jolie Folie, a half-sister to dual hurdle winner Major Barry, is a newcomer to note in the market.

Expensive point recruit HE CAN'T DANCE starts out under Rules in a bumper distinctly lacking depth and is fancied to prove tough to beat on debut for his leading yard. Jolie Folie makes appeal on paper for a yard no stranger to success with their runners in this sphere and she may emerge as the chief danger.

This lacks depth and it looks like a good opportunity for HE CAN'T DANCE, whose point form is already working out nicely

16:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SUNDIATA KEITA stepped up on his pleasing debut performance when a half-length third at Newcastle and, with further improvement on the cards, he rates the one to beat. Sun Keeper wasn't devoid of promise on her introduction over C&D and she could progress to take a hand in the finish here, while The Voominator also has a squeak for Craig Lidster and Jason Hart.

A repeat of the form SUNDIATA KEITA showed at Newcastle last time may be good enough for him to make it third time lucky. Sun Keeper is open to progress on the back of last month's C&D debut and is second choice ahead of Echo of Glory.

This looks a good opportunity for SUNDIATA KEITA, who sets a clear standard on his close third at Newcastle two weeks ago.

17:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SOLDIERS STAR lost little in defeat when a short-head second over this trip at Newcastle three weeks ago and natural improvement could see him go one better. That said, Sunlit Uplands and Trouble Man also went desperately close to making winning debuts and they are obvious threats. Rye certainly isn't out of it either having progressed from her first to her second start.

SUNLIT UPLANDS caught the eye finishing with a flourish under just hands-and-heels riding on her Chelmsford debut and looks the way to go with improvement on the cards. Trouble Man and Soldiers Star are considered the main threats.

This can be narrowed down to three who went close on debut, with SUNLIT UPLANDS preferred to Soldiers Star and Trouble Man.

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

EDGE OFTHE UNKNOWN showed a likeable attitude when making a winning debut over 1m at Newcastle last month and, with this longer trip unlikely to pose any problems, he is fancied to follow up under a penalty. Jiff's Army has placed on his last three starts over 7f and he warrants respect stepping up in distance, while Perfect Life could build on his encouraging introductory third at Southwell.

EDGE OFTHE UNKNOWN made a winning start at Newcastle last month and with progress very much on the cards she can make light of a 7 lb penalty. Ollie Sangster's Kentucky River could emerge as the main danger if, as expected, building on his debut Chelmsford fifth, with Perfect Life and Arundel appealing as the pick of the remainder.

This can go to EDGE OFTHE UNKNOWN who got his career off to a good start at Newcastle and should have plenty more to offer.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

NO SURRENDER was narrowly denied over 1m2f at Lingfield last month and that form has a solid look to it. Nudged up 1lb now back over 1m4f, he gets the vote to atone for that near-miss. A 1lb rise for a recent second over this track and trip doesn't discount Something and he looks a danger to the selection. Four-time C&D winner Optician's mark has come down and his turn may not be far away.

NO SURRENDER highlighted he's capable of defying this sort of mark when finishing a head second over shorter at Lingfield 18 days ago and, worth another crack at this longer trip, he could be the way to go. Skye Breeze on return to action, Knockbrex and Something are others to consider.

The suggestion is sole 3yo SOMETHING, who has a record of 2112 in Tapeta handicaps around 1m4f. No Surrender is second choice.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ASGARD'S CAPTAIN did well to finish a close-up fourth after helping to set the pace over track and trip last month and, eased 1lb, he may prove tough to peg back if the cards fall right. Arcadian Nights bounced right back to form when only finding one rival too good over C&D in October and another bold bid looks likely. Last-start Southwell runner-up Lerwick is also noteworthy.

ASGARD'S CAPTAIN can boast an excellent AW record and having shaped nicely in a better C&D handicap than this 3 weeks ago, he looks primed for a big run. Lerwick also has plenty to recommend him, with Titian another to note given he's back on his last winning mark.

The vote goes to LERWICK on the back of his good first effort on AW last time. Asgard's Captain can give him most to do.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ALZAHIR bumped into an in-form sort when runner-up over a mile at Newcastle on his penultimate start, before being denied a clear run at a crucial stage when finishing down the field in a deeper race over this C&D most recently. Off an unchanged mark with his sights lowered, the son of Sea The Stars looks the one to be with. This step back up in trip could see Admiral D to better effect and he is respected off a falling mark, while He's A Gentleman is also a key player.

CHALK MOUNTAIN had been in top form prior to the trip stretching him at Southwell last time and, given his excellent course record, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Alzahir, who was unlucky not to finish much closer here recently. He's A Gentleman can't be ruled out.

Most of these have something to prove but ALZAHIR (nap) didn't get any luck over C&D last time and is a big player now back in grade.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

CIOTOG has been reliable of late and, nudged up 1lb after a second-placed finish over C&D last month, he must have every chance of doubling his win tally on the all-weather on these terms. Visibility was fourth in that race and has a feasible chance of turning the form around with a 2lb pull at the weights. Love Your Work, a winner over track an trip a fortnight ago, also rates a key player off just 2lb higher. Bass Playern completes the shortlist.

Several of these know where the winning post is here, none more so than HARBOUR VISION, who is taken to complete a course hat-trick after a pair of 7f wins last month. Ciotog, Love Your Work and the quirky Bass Player head the dangers.

This looks competitive with several potential winners in the field. LOVE YOUR WORK is in top form and is marginally preferred.

Running well in defeat for his new yard but a wide draw tempers enthusiasm here.

C&D win last month was followed by a tame Lingfield run; this should be run to suit.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Several have chances here but perhaps none more so than AGOSTINO, who has fared well with the draw and could make this a searching test of speed if he hits the gates running. Darlo Pride has been consistent during a busy spell over the last couple of months and the C&D winner should again make his presence felt. Alafdhal, Moe's Legacy and Wee Fat Mac also warrant close inspection in race where there is little margin for error.

The vote goes to MOE'S LEGACY, who was in good order prior to a below-par display at Lingfield last time and she appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Alafdhal continues to knock on the door and he looks set for another bold show, while Darlo Pride and Wee Fat Mac are also worth a second look.

Pop Dancer is feared despite other front-runners in the field but this could set up for a finisher and MOE'S LEGACY gets the nod.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Stepping up in trip seems to have been the making of PORT NOIR and, having landed a brace of wins here (one over this trip) in October, Robert Stephens' revitalised mare is an appealing option in her bid to cement her reputation as a course specialist. C&D winner Come On John is noteworthy back over this trip and needs taking seriously from a dangerously competitive rating. Solanna and Star Of St James are others to note in the betting.

COME ON JOHN hasn't done much wrong in three starts since joining the James Owen yard and, with the promise of even better to come, he gets the nod. Solanna and Port Noir should both be on the premises, along with Star of St James.

The Pug is interesting on his stable debut but COME ON JOHN is still well treated and can gain a second win for his new yard.

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.
