Secret Des Dieux

0.909091
10/11(+0%)
(1) Secret Des Dieux 10/11, Keen and tired up the hill when beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time, possibly not staying the stiff track. Had been in good form prior to that. Effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and is consistent.
Ran well until fading over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 2m4f; solid claims back down to 2m.

(3) Epinephrine 11/2, Stopped quickly after a series of errors on chase debut when beaten 72l in a handicap chase at Hereford on her most recent run. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft, but has a bit to prove at present.
The drop back in trip could help on her second chase start and she's not written off.

(2) Hypotenus 5/2, Scored by 8l off a 5lb lower mark at Taunton three starts ago. Effective at 2m and suited by a sound surface. Remains well treated on old Irish form but needs to dominate to be at his best.
Won at Taunton in January; below par since but drops back in grade today; could go well.

HYPOTENUS shaped better than his finishing position suggested when tried at a higher level at Sandown. The handicapper has dropped him 2lb for that effort and the seven-year-old, who has to go right-handed, appears to have a suitable opportunity to get back to winning ways. Secret Des Dieux looks to be the most obvious threat but whether he wants slightly further on a flatter track remains to be seen. Epinephrine needs to improve plenty on recent evidence.

Topweight SECRET DES DIEUX has been performing with credit in warm novice handicaps and this looks a good opportunity.

Second on debut in bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that promise since.

FOLLOW YOUR LUCK was snapped up for 90,000 euros after winning between the flags in Ireland last spring and picked up where he left off on his hurdling debut over C&D. He gave a stone and a comprehensive beating to a horse rated 113 so he looks a nice prospect. Dunkerque made an OK start to life with Jennie Candlish when fifth in a Carlisle handicap and is likely to get closest to Patrick Neville's five-year-old. Fearless Dragon was a long way behind his stablemate here earlier in the month, but is still put forward as best of the rest.

Point winner FOLLOW YOUR LUCK scored by 5l over C&D recently and is taken to make it 2-2 under rules. Dunkerque is the danger.

CAPPUCINO has shown promise in his two most recent completed starts and looks nicely handicapped. A bumper winner and initially rated 121 over hurdles, he hasn't won since October 2024 but ran nicely behind Rockbrook at Tramore and now meets that rival on 8lb better terms. His two wins have been on a sound surface, but he also goes on easy ground and will like this distance. Rockbrook subsequently boosted that Tramore form by following up at Naas and has claims, despite carrying extra weight. The Electrical Kid has shown promise, but disappointed when last seen in October.

The value play is THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT, who loves it around here and is back down to his last winning mark

It will be disappointing if IDAHO VALLEY can't get off the mark at the eighth attempt over timber. His best efforts have come over shorter distances so the drop back to 2m after his latest outing at Carlisle gives him the opportunity he has been waiting for, especially with opposition looking thin on the ground. Lejo Du Seuil showed some promise when fifth at Ludlow, while Lord Virginia could land a blow based on last month's third at Hereford.

This might take very little winning and strong preference is for IDAHO VALLEY, who has been placed on several occasions.

DOUBLE DIGITS had plenty in hand when winning easily over C&D a couple of weeks ago and a 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from following up in a race of this nature. The rest all have questions to answer, but Glen Road has already won twice this season and should not be discounted. Coup De Coeur is also noted.

The lightly raced 8yo DOUBLE DIGITS won in fine style over C&D recently on his second chase start and is taken to defy a 7lb rise.

KARIA DES BLAISES fell on her latest start, but is capable. Placed at Grade 2 level on her chase debut in December 2024, she returned following a 304-day layoff over Christmas and although held in second when coming down at the final fence, that was nonetheless useful and she might progress from the run. Tahaa was pitched into a Grade 2 when falling on her chase debut, and second career outing, at Cork but had shown promise behind high-class rivals prior to exiting. Out of a half-sister to The New Lion, she is her trainer's first string. Tareze bumped into Jade De Grugy here last month and meets nothing of that calibre now.

Keeping on when falling in a Limerick handicap chase last time, KARIA DES BLAISES can build on that and get off the mark over fences

Chasing newcomer; has shown little over hurdles but dam was a two-time chase winner.

CARPE DIEM looked a different proposition in a first-time visor when storming clear over C&D earlier in the month. If the headgear has the same effect, he is more than capable of defying a 10lb higher mark. Dublin To Milan's best run over hurdles came when runner-up at Stratford last March and the switch to fences might yield improvement. Keep an eye on Cracker Muddle, who may take a big step forward on her chase/handicap bow.

Having impressed in a first-time visor over C&D recently, CARPE DIEM is taken to follow up. Dublin To Milan is second choice.

A winner over fences two starts ago, Forged Well has to be noted now switched to hurdles, while Dwight K Schrute has been running well in defeat. That said, it is hard to oppose BALLIN BAY, who made all over C&D a couple of weeks ago and is only 3lb higher. First-time cheekpieces may spark further improvement and the eight-year-old can make it a double.

These conditions are ideal for SPIKE JONES, who is taken to get back to winning ways by beating Dwite K Schrute and Ballin Bay.

ONEFORGONZO has failed to place in seven previous chase outings, but is well treated in this sphere. While both his wins came in April 2024, he has been running well recently and finished a close second in a big-field handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Since his subsequent Down Royal chase run, he has been helpfully dropped 2lb by the handicapper. Plain Or Battered and Just For Yuse have reasonable form, while recent point-to-point winner Barrow Ranger debuts in a handicap chase.

PLAIN OR BATTERED went with plenty of zest at Navan last time and the front-runner could take some catching down in trip

It will be interesting to see how the market treats Midnight Venture on her hurdling debut, which comes almost two years after she filled the runner-up spot in a Chepstow bumper. Newcomer Run Suzie Run has a decent pedigree and commands respect, but the vote goes to KOM TU VOUDRAS. Faye Bramley has already done well with horses switching from Willie Mullins, notably Paggane and Glengouly, and this may be the ideal confidence booster for the six-year-old.

JP McManus hasn't given up on KOM TU VOUDRAS who is given another chance in this very ordinary maiden hurdle for mares.

DEFENCE WITNESS returned to winning ways at Catterick when staying on strongly in the closing stages and a 4lb rise is unlikely to inconvenience him, especially in a contest where all of his rivals have something to prove. Getaway Glory was well behind the selection on that occasion, but finished second over C&D before an extended break and a repeat of that would see him in the mix. Ballydangan completes the shortlist.

Last month's Catterick winner DEFENCE WITNESS is taken to confirm that form with Getaway Glory, who should improve for that run.

TIMELESS TREATY scored in style here and can follow up under top weight. Despite appearing exposed in handicaps earlier this season, he bolted up a fortnight ago and could now progress a little further. Parnell Street has bumped into some smart performers and may prove to be slightly better than his 123 rating, so should give the selection a race as he receives 6lb. The same can be said for Open Secret, who was a commendable fourth in a Cheltenham Grade 2. Bon Viveur comes here on a retrieval mission following his disappointing Navan effort.

The Gordon Elliott yard has won four of the last five runnings and can enhance that record with TIMELESS TREATY

Almost all of these arrive out of form, the exception being POSTPONED LEGACY, who has been much improved since returning this winter. A Doncaster success was followed by a more emphatic Uttoxeter triumph, and Martin Keighley's five-year-old then lost little in defeat when runner-up at Wincanton. He had a subsequent winner immediately behind him and can continue on his upward curve. For Old Times Sake is fancied to take a step forward now he goes handicapping - a remark that also applies to Peace In The Park and Neeps And Tatties.

A few could improve but there's no guesswork involved in making the case for POSTPONED LEGACY who continues to run well.

DEARKEITHANDKATY gained his first victory over 3m at Musselburgh at the start of the month and the drop back to 2m4f doesn't appear likely to stop him from taking another step forward. Avalon Beach has run with credit on his last couple of outings and has to enter the reckoning. Others to note include Thank You Blue and A Mere Bagatelle.

This can go to NORTH PARADE (nap) who has his ideal conditions, is on a good mark and shaped well at Haydock on his latest start.

RUSTY HARKNESS has shown some promise in two runs and is sure to suited by stepping up to this distance. Out of a Grade 1-winning half-sister to a Velka Pardbicka hero, he was well held behind capable types on debut in November and although again well beaten during Christmas, that race was also strong and he receives weight from principal rival Barnahash Mason. The latter won a Leopardstown bumper and while aided by having previous hurdling experience, has to concede 8lb to the selection. De Jour En Jour might beat Haveanothertry for third.

If able to repeat his fine Leopardstown maiden hurdle effort on this softer ground then RUSTY HARKNESS(nap) will be difficult to beat

HATYSA arrives here having won three of her last four starts and a 2lb rise for the latest of those victories may not be enough to stop Andrew Balding's filly from adding another success to her record. Educator has made the frame on his last couple of outings and is likely to be in the mix once again. Alrazeen and Sax Appeal are others with strong claims.

Educator is considered over this stiff 2m but, after a fine comeback run at Southwell, ALRAZEEN receives the vote.

Kellebelle surpassed all expectations when runner-up on her handicap bow at Southwell, while After Many Days has picked up her share of minor money and surely won't remain a maiden for too much longer. She had NATUS VINCERE a long way behind when runner-up at Leicester last month, but Olly Murphy's mare was sent off favourite for her stable debut that day and may be worth another chance. The seven-year-old wasn't given the best ride and much better is expected now Sean Bowen takes the reins.

Henry Daly's AFTER MANY DAYS (nap) again threatened to get off the mark at Leicester and this may well be the day it happens.

MERSEY STREET got off the mark over fences when striking here earlier in the month. Despite a 6lb rise, the manner of that performance suggested there might well be more to come from the eight-year-old. Too Cool Forshrule was sent off favourite in the aforementioned contest, only to unseat at the first, and he is respected with Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle. Halpha Soleil heads the remainder.

This can go to MERSEY STREET, who won in good style here last time. Halpha Soleil and Uncle Al should also go well.

HESGONETHATWAY scored easily on his second handicap start earlier this month and can defy a 9lb rise. He showed big improvement to score at Naas and has similar conditions here. A Nod To Getaway's last three runs have been at this course, including an October success over fences, and he's very much respected. Happy Me is a 12-race maiden but has nice bits of form, not least his solid Limerick third over Christmas.

Third behind a very progressive sort last time, HAPPY ME can shed the maiden tag at the 13th time of asking

Al Najashi merits the utmost respect having won all three handicap starts impressively. He struck at Wolverhampton last week by 13 lengths, but is now on a 16lb higher mark. As a result, marginal preference is for MAYNORA, who was only beaten a nose over C&D last month and a 1lb rise is not a concern. Ocean Of Storms and Norcross Brow complete the shortlist.

Bidding for a four-timer, AL NAJASHI looks well treated after last week's Wolverhampton romp.

Two small-field wins in the autumn included one over C&D but his form has dipped.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Theyseekhimthere returned from a break to make a successful chasing debut over C&D, but he has spent even longer on the sidelines since. He is arguably the most interesting in here but so long off is concerning, while Dangerous Touch has something to prove after only getting as far as the first at Ffos Las. Perhaps the safest option is THRUTHELOOKINGLASS, who came close to breaking his duck at Lingfield last month, with a couple of subsequent winners well behind him.

Only 4lb higher than when a clear second at Lingfield last time, THRUTHELOOKINGLASS is the most likely winner.

MARY O'G ran promisingly on debut last month in a race which is working out very well. A half-sister to top-class chaser Gerri Colombe, the selection finished third to subsequent Grade 2 bumper winner Moonverrin at Cork, while the runner-up had previously scored in a point-to-point. Belladaball was well held behind two useful rivals on her debut at Fairyhouse in December and can build on that effort. C'est Elle is noted too.

This looks like a winnable opportunity for MARY O'G whose debut effort has been franked by the winner scoring in Grade 2 company since

Poor form in two 1m2f runs in Ireland last year; stiff task dropped in trip on yard debut.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

FACTUAL confirmed the promise of his debut success when a close second at Lingfield a month ago and Andrew Balding's Sioux Nation colt sets a good standard. Majestic Dane won well on his racecourse bow over C&D a few weeks ago and is clearly the main threat. Any market support for either Shimmering Spirit or Zain Primus would have to be noted.

Majestic Dane won well on debut but conceding weight to the promising FACTUAL won't be an easy assignment.

The race wasn't run to suit Rosemary's Rose at Lingfield last week, but she still managed to get up in the closing stages. More is needed under her penalty now back in handicap company, though, and SHOWMEDEMONEY is preferred. The Iain Jardine-trained seven-year-old maintained his good level of form when touched off over 1m2f here and competes from the same rating. I Can Boogy also filled the runner-up berth on the same card last weekend, while Dequinto beat Esque Elegance over C&D and can confirm that superiority.

Rod Millman isn't a regular visitor to Newcastle (3-14; 21% AW) so it could be worth siding with the Lingfield scorer ROSEMARY'S ROSE.

LORD CAPULET completed a C&D brace late last month when accounting for Pit Boss by a little over a length. A 1lb turnaround in the weights is unlikely to result in that form being reversed, even though the runner-up has won and just gone under over 6f since. Bullington Bry is interesting on his first appearance for the Joey Ramsden team, while Pallas Lord has been holding his form well and was a couple of positions ahead of Wyvern when touched off over the mile here on his penultimate outing.

This could be run to suit Wyvern and PIT BOSS (nap) and the latter can register his second win of the year.

The Gay Blade ended a bit of a drought over C&D and although he will find life tougher under his penalty, he commands attention. EAST TYRONE has been holding his own in handicap company and his only previous dip into classified waters resulted in a Wolverhampton victory just last month. He is fancied to repeat the dose. Pebble Dash also drops out of a handicap, while Auntie Jo could close the gap on The Gay Blade from last week now cheekpieces are applied.

The Gay Blade brings recent winning form into the race but this ease in grade could see EAST TYRONE gain his second win this year.

BENEFICIARY has improved for the switch to classified events with a brace of runner-up efforts, including over C&D last week, and the seven-year-old boasts strong credentials in his bid to gain a first success in just over a year. Classy Clarets has continued to drop in the handicap and may prove to be a lot happier at this level, while first-time blinkers could make a difference for Sedgemoor.

Beneficiary is solid after two good runs but the drop in trip and grade, allied to new headgear, could see SEDGEMOOR return to form.

WINGSTAR is one of the least experienced in the line-up, but that might prove to be in her favour. The four-year-old finished fourth on her handicap debut over C&D earlier in the month and it wouldn't be a surprise if she had more to give. Laura's Breeze offered more encouragement when returning to this level here last week and she is respected along with A Lady Forever.

Tickets should go well dropped into a classified race but the unexposed WINGSTAR still has the potential to do better.

Digital arrives in fine fettle, having won three of his last six starts, and has to enter calculations under a 4lb penalty for his C&D triumph on Sunday. That said, DARK KESTREL makes plenty of appeal after his victory here earlier in the month and a 2lb rise might underestimate the authority of that success. Binadham and True Promise appeal most of the remainder.

Dark Kestrel and DANDY MAGIC should get a solid pace to run at and they appeal most in a trappy sprint.

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.
