(3) Gallyhill 1.62/1, Cost £450,000 after sole point win and maintained his unbeaten record switched to Rules in workmanlike style in 16.3f Newbury novice last month, staying on well. Open to plenty of improvement.
3

3.33/1(+33%)
(2) One True King 3.33/1, Point/bumper winner who a landed Uttoxeter maiden and a Leicester novice either side of a pair of creditable efforts in Cheltenham handicaps. Folded tamely in Lanzarote at Kempton last time.
4
4th (6) (150/1 +40%) Timeforadance
150/1(+40%)

5th
5th (5) (25/1 -178%) The Olympian
25/1(-178%)
(5) The Olympian 25/1, Fairly useful form on Flat, will stay 1½m, improved when winning maiden when last seen in 2018. Has a huge absence to overcome but is in the right hands to make it as a hurdler, so worth a look.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (125/1 -150%) Earl Biffy Biffen
125/1(-150%)
(4) Earl Biffy Biffen 125/1, €40,000 Day Flight gelding. Had a wind op prior to running to just a poor level in a course bumper on debut in November.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Ascot Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Remastered 4.5/1, Has the physique for chasing and improved to make a winning return/chase bow at Carlisle (2½m) in November. Followed up in match at Wetherby (3m) in December and another worth his place at this level.
2
2nd (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Demachine
2.5/1(+29%)
(2) Demachine 2.5/1, Promise over hurdles last term and even better in novice handicap chase contests during second half of last year, winning 2 of his 3 starts including a C&D event. Not ruled out on back of a wind op.
3
3rd (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Kalooki
6.5/1(+19%)
(4) Kalooki 6.5/1, Good start over fences when winning maiden and third in Grade 2 (both Newbury) in November. Paid price for trying to keep tabs on Shan Blue when pulled up in the Kauto Star at Kempton last time.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (3.33/1 +0%) Sevarano
3.33/1(+0%)
(6) Sevarano 3.33/1, Impressive in landing first 2 starts over fences at Sandown/Exeter this term. Confidence seemingly dented by early error when fourth at Newbury (22.4f) last time and worth another chance to progress.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Full Back
4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Full Back 4.5/1, Low-mileage sort who arrives having landed back-to-back, small-field novice chase contests at up to 25.7f this winter. Earned a crack at this race but this will undoubtedly present a much tougher test
|PU|
|PU| (1) (14/1 -87%) Hurricane Harvey
14/1(-87%)
(1) Hurricane Harvey 14/1, Progressive over hurdles last term and similar story over fences, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in Doncaster Grade 2 (3m) in December. This tougher but he likely has more to offer as a chaser.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Ascot Novices Chase (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(12) Captain Chaos 10/1, Blinkers back on an easily best effort this term when fourth in the Classic Chase at Warwick last month. Went with a lot more spark and eased 1 lb, so of interest.
2
2nd (1) (12/1 +0%) Regal Encore
12/1(+0%)
(1) Regal Encore 12/1, Terrific record at this venue, winning Silver Cup for the second time in December 2019 and didn't do a lot wrong when third in this season's renewal. Same mark here, so likely to give it a good shot.
3
3rd (8) (11/1 -69%) Musical Slave
11/1(-69%)
(8) Musical Slave 11/1, Progressive over hurdles and did well in novice campaign over fences last term, successful at Exeter. Held back by jumping both starts this term but well weighted if avoiding the errors.
4
4th (2) (33/1 -18%) Sub Lieutenant
33/1(-18%)
(2) Sub Lieutenant 33/1, Fared better reverting to prominent tactics when runner-up at Galway (22.5f) in July, but essentially isn't the force of old. Left Henry De Bromhead for £50,000 and fair start when fourth over C&D.
5th
5th (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Cobolobo
6.5/1(+28%)
(7) Cobolobo 6.5/1, Improved model this season, cheekpieces on when landing 3m handicap chase at Exeter prior to an excellent second over C&D a month ago despite the odd mistake. 2 lb rise perfectly fair.
|U|
|U| (4) (25/1 -79%) Cloudy Glen
25/1(-79%)
(4) Cloudy Glen 25/1, Improved when landing Southern National on Fontwell reappearance but he struggles to string good efforts together and was only fifth at Sandown. Better than the result in Welsh National latest.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (3/1 +14%) Jerrysback
3/1(+14%)
(5) Jerrysback 3/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who finished runner-up in pair of Grade 2s during 2018/19. Third to Regal in 2019 Silver Cup over C&D and also shaped well when occupying same spot on last month's return.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (4/1 +33%) Newtide
4/1(+33%)
(6) Newtide 4/1, Useful hurdler and built for fences, making it 2-2 in a Grade 2 at Wetherby. Failed to stay in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham but more like it when third on reappearance. Undergone wind surgery.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (5.5/1 +45%) Yalltari
5.5/1(+45%)
(10) Yalltari 5.5/1, Useful chaser who typically travelled with zest without fully delivering when fourth over C&D last month. Closely matched with Cobolobo.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (8.5/1 +29%) Hill Sixteen
8.5/1(+29%)
(9) Hill Sixteen 8.5/1, Bolted up in handicap chase at Ffos Las on stable debut before grinding out a handicap hurdle success from lower mark at Newbury. Perhaps not over that run when well held at Haydock. Tongue tie on.

1
1st (10) (12/1 +33%) Shannon Bridge
12/1(+33%)
(10) Shannon Bridge 12/1, Made a successful return to hurdles in first-time blinkers to readily win 2m4f handicap at Wetherby last month. This will take more winning but headgear is retained and not handicapped out of it.
2
2nd (16) (80/1 -142%) Thibault
80/1(-142%)
(16) Thibault 80/1, Thriving for new yard this term, landing handicaps at Plumpton and Hereford before bagging Lingfield jumpers bumper 19 days ago. No forlorn hope returned to this sphere in his current mood.
3
3rd (8) (3.33/1 +45%) Arrivederci
3.33/1(+45%)
(8) Arrivederci 3.33/1, Wetherby winner on return in October and continued on the up when excellent second to Craigneiche in a Grade 3 contest over C&D last time. Nudged up 2 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.
4
4th (12) (12/1 -9%) Dans Le Vent
12/1(-9%)
(12) Dans Le Vent 12/1, Registered his first win for more than three years when returning to hurdles to win at Hereford in December. Staying-on fourth to Craigneiche in Grade 3 handicap over C&D last month. Considered.
5th
5th (6) (11/1 +21%) Kid Commando
11/1(+21%)
(6) Kid Commando 11/1, Returned to beat Malaya in 2m listed handicap here in October but ran poorly in the Betfair Exchange Trophy over the same C&D last time. Not proven over this far.
6th
6th (13) (3.33/1 +33%) Gladiateur Allen
3.33/1(+33%)
(13) Gladiateur Allen 3.33/1, Only three runs, and opened account in 21f novice here last time by over seven lengths from Valleres, leading on bridle before 2 out and running green. Can improve further but is lacking experience.
7th
7th (15) (33/1 +18%) Kaizer
33/1(+18%)
(15) Kaizer 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Scored at Carlisle in October and fine efforts at Musselburgh the last twice, close second 13 days ago. This demands fair bit more though from 1 lb out of the handicap.
8th
8th (9) (11/1 +0%) Malaya
11/1(+0%)
(9) Malaya 11/1, Second in this race last year when making the frame for second year running. Good second in listed handicap here before creditable fourth to Millers Bank at Kempton last time. Claims once more.
9th
9th (11) (10/1 -11%) Kepagge
10/1(-11%)
(11) Kepagge 10/1, Winner of first 3 starts under Rules last term and decent fourth on return in Cheltenham handicap (21f). Badly hampered when sixth at Warwick last time so no forlorn hope with few miles on the clock.
10th
10th (7) (12/1 +0%) Kateson
12/1(+0%)
(7) Kateson 12/1, Doesn’t always look straightforward but galvanised by first-time cheekpieces to win at Aintree in December. Shaped as if still in top form when third in Grade 3 over C&D latest so much respected.
11th
11th (14) (22/1 -57%) Good Man Pat
22/1(-57%)
(14) Good Man Pat 22/1, Useful over fences but back over hurdles this season, running his best race last time but outbattled when close second to Calva d’Auge in handicap at Newbury. Respected but this is a tougher ask.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (12/1 -33%) Stolen Silver
12/1(-33%)
(5) Stolen Silver 12/1, Useful hurdler who has matched that level without getting his head in front in three runs over fences. Reverts to hurdles now and not taken lightly.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (16/1 -100%) Pileon
16/1(-100%)
(2) Pileon 16/1, Useful novice who was beaten short head in the Martin Pipe at the Festival. Badly let down by his jumping in a couple of attempts over fences in the autumn but may resume progress back over hurdles.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (28/1 -27%) L'ami Serge
28/1(-27%)
(1) L'ami Serge 28/1, Second in Long Walk Hurdle here after an absence last season but has not been seen since pulling up at 50/1 in the Stayers’ Hurdle. Dropping in class but irresolute and easy to oppose.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (80/1 -142%) Chti Balko
80/1(-142%)
(3) Chti Balko 80/1, Wide-margin winner at Haydock in the mud in December but only fair fifth of 8 at Kempton (16f) 42 days ago. Back up in trip now but others look better treated.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Dashel Drasher 4/1, Maintained his unbeaten record at Ascot with victory in strong C&D handicap last month, holding on from Bennys King having jumped boldly, if to the left, in front. More needed again, but may have it.
2
2nd (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Master Tommytucker
3.5/1(-17%)
(4) Master Tommytucker 3.5/1, Front runner who often has a shocking mistake in him but that hasn't stopped him winning 3 times this season, most recently impressively making all in Kempton Grade 2 (belted the last). Big player.
3
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +59%) Bennys King
4.5/1(+59%)
(1) Bennys King 4.5/1, Better than ever and goes really well round here, winning handicap in December and keeping on for second behind Dashel Drasher in C&D contest 4 weeks ago. First crack at the top level now.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (1.38/1 -52%) Cyrname
1.38/1(-52%)
(2) Cyrname 1.38/1, C&D form figures read 111F and he won this in 2019. Posted another top-class performance when landing the Charlie Hall on return and should bounce back from King George flop. First-time cheekpieces.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (22/1 -10%) Riders Onthe Storm
22/1(-10%)
(5) Riders Onthe Storm 22/1, Left clear of the only other finisher at the last when completing a hat-trick in this race last year but hasn't shown anything like that form since, well held behind Master Tommytucker at Kempton.
LTO Selection:
15:35 Ascot Conditions Chase (Class 1) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(5) J'ai Froid 4.5/1, Strong stayer who has made a positive start for the Laura Morgan stable, winning in a visor at Ayr and Doncaster (both 3m) last month. Likely to give another good account on hat-trick bid.
2
2nd (8) (8.5/1 +6%) Fawsley Spirit
8.5/1(+6%)
(8) Fawsley Spirit 8.5/1, In front when falling last over C&D in December and gained compensation when finally off the mark at Market Rasen since. Raised another 7 lb but clearly in good form at present.
3
3rd (7) (14/1 -56%) Saint Dalina
14/1(-56%)
(7) Saint Dalina 14/1, Bolted up at Uttoxeter (23f) in December and creditable in-frame efforts on both runs since. Likely to be in the mix again, particularly if first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect.
4
4th (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Flight Deck
2.75/1(+39%)
(2) Flight Deck 2.75/1, Won on 20.5f Newton Abbot handicap debut on sole start last term. Fell in chase on return but quickly back on the up returned to hurdles when winning in mud at Bangor last month. Respected up at 3m.
5th
5th (9) (10/1 +29%) Republican
10/1(+29%)
(9) Republican 10/1, Fairly useful 19f novice hurdle winner last season. Couple of decent efforts over fences this season ahead of this return to hurdles over the longest trip he's faced.
6th
6th (14) (18/1 -29%) Ruby Yeats
18/1(-29%)
(14) Ruby Yeats 18/1, Ended last season in rude health and all the better for return when landing 18.5f Exeter handicap (18.5f) last month. Step back up in trip a help. One of 2 solid contenders for her stable.
7th
7th (1) (4/1 -14%) Zhiguli
4/1(-14%)
(1) Zhiguli 4/1, Has improved since switching to handicaps, coping well with the step up to 25f when seeing off 7 rivals in Plumpton conditional jockeys' event last month. Should be more to come. Leading claims.
8th
8th (13) (22/1 -10%) Leostar
22/1(-10%)
(13) Leostar 22/1, Off the mark in 21f Kelso handicap hurdle in November and posted another good effort when runner-up there in December. Stiff task in novice at Musselburgh latest and likely still in form. Up in trip.
9th
9th (6) (20/1 -82%) Label Des Obeaux
20/1(-82%)
(6) Label Des Obeaux 20/1, Smart 3-time chaser winner in 2016/17. Not at that level over hurdles in recent seasons but his latest Haydock (3m) fourth was his best effort of the present campaign.
10th
10th (10) (28/1 +44%) Young Offender
28/1(+44%)
(10) Young Offender 28/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when game winner of 2½m novice at Fakenham last winter but has yet to find top form in 3 runs this season. Others are more obvious.
11th
11th (4) (33/1 -106%) Paricolor
33/1(-106%)
(4) Paricolor 33/1, Prolific in sellers this winter, winning 4 times. However, was comfortably held back in a handicap on penultimate start and others are preferred again.
12th
12th (12) (80/1 -186%) Shanroe Santos
80/1(-186%)
(12) Shanroe Santos 80/1, Out of sorts over fences since a mildly encouraging reappearance run at Huntingdon. Remains to be seen if a return to hurdles sparks an upturn in this 12yos fortunes.
13th
13th (15) (40/1 -21%) Oscar Asche
40/1(-21%)
(15) Oscar Asche 40/1, Winning hurdler who failed to complete all 3 starts over fences during second half of last year. Chepstow hurdles effort last time was disappointing also and he has something to prove. Blinkered.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (14/1 -75%) Revels Hill
14/1(-75%)
(11) Revels Hill 14/1, Point winner who has shaped with promise on 2 of his 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. Appeals as the sort to go on to better things now handicapping over a longer trip.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (200/1 -203%) Darius Des Bois
200/1(-203%)
(3) Darius Des Bois 200/1, Fairly useful hurdler/ chaser earlier for Nicky Henderson earlier in career. Point winner last year but watching brief the percentage call back under Rules.

1st (2) (3/1 +25%) Code Name Lise
3/1(+25%)
(2) Code Name Lise 3/1, €85,000 Fame And Glory mare who made a pleasing start when runner-up at Warwick. Hard to gage what that form's worth, but she has the potential to improve.
2
2nd (5) (1.88/1 +6%) Miss Fairfax
1.88/1(+6%)
(5) Miss Fairfax 1.88/1, Stable does well in this discipline and she caught the eye (finished with running left having been green) when third at Hereford on debut. Should improve enough to open her account.
3
3rd (3) (6/1 +40%) Drash On Ruby
6/1(+40%)
(3) Drash On Ruby 6/1, Sister to useful hurdler/chaser Dashel Drasher but just poor form in bumpers to date. Up against it.
4
4th (6) (7/1 -17%) So Said I
7/1(-17%)
(6) So Said I 7/1, Out of a bumper winner and showed plenty of ability when third at Wincanton first time out. More to come with that under her belt.

5th (8) (40/1 -43%) Whenthepennydrops
40/1(-43%)
(8) Whenthepennydrops 40/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara mare. Dam lightly raced on Flat.
6th

7th
7th (1) (5/1 -67%) Jersey Lady
5/1(-67%)
(1) Jersey Lady 5/1, Made a winning start at Ludlow before improving when third in listed Cheltenham bumper last month. Disappointing next time but expected to get back on track after a short break.

8th (7) (25/1 -150%) Universal Brook
25/1(-150%)
(7) Universal Brook 25/1, Universal mare who was sent off a big price when third in a bumper at Taunton on debut in January. Should have learned from that initial experience but she has plenty to find.

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.
