2.2/1(+34%)
(6) No But I Will 2.2/1, Won sole start in Irish points and left his previous Rules efforts behind when second in 14-runner maiden here (19.6f) 4 weeks ago, jumping better and pulling long way clear of rest. Excellent chance with a repeat.

3/1(+0%)
(1) Sporting Mike 3/1, Point winner who made a successful handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Shaped really well from 10 lb higher in his follow-up bid at Wetherby and returned to that sort of form when third at Exeter (21.6f) 11 days ago, finishing well. Handy 7 lb claimer now takes over.

2.5/1(+17%)
(2) Storminhome 2.5/1, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark in this sphere at the 3rd attempt in 10-runner maiden at Doncaster (19.4f, good) in January. Ran another good race when second at Ffos Las (20f) 13 days ago and ought to be very competitive again.

(7) Pougne Aminta 6.5/1, Irish point winner who stepped up on her Southwell form to score with any amount in hand in a weak mares' maiden at Wetherby (21.2f, soft) 22 days ago. Open to further improvement.

Georges Saint

6/1(+14%)
(3) Georges Saint 6/1, Dual chase winner in France who is starting to look expensive to follow, beaten on merit when third in 5-runner novice at Warwick (19f) last month. Step up in trip needs to being about improvement.

LTO Selection:

13:05 Bangor Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

It is likely that 3/1 (6) NO BUT I WILL and 3/1 (2) STORMINHOME will perform well based on their recent form and success in this sphere. 3/1 (1) SPORTING MIKE also has potential with a talented claimer now riding. 4/1 (7) POUGNE AMINTA is open to further improvement but has yet to face tougher competition. Yes and Yes and 66/1 (5) LUCKY JO JO have some potential based on their breeding and previous starts, but their form is not as strong as the other contenders. 150/1 (4) LOCH GARMAN ARIS is not expected to fare well.

A competitive novice hurdle, where slight preference is for STORMINHOME, who wasn't beaten far at Ffos Las last time out and is bred to appreciate the step up in trip, being a point-to-point winner. His experienced stablemate Sporting Mike can give him the most to think about, especially with Beau Morgan taking 7lb off, while Pougne Aminta got off the mark in fine style at Wetherby last month and commands plenty of respect.

SPORTING MIKE caught the eye finishing well from an unpromising position at Exeter 11 days ago and could be up to defying a penalty back in a novice with a good-value claimer now taking over in the saddle. The selection's stablemate Storminhome is also a strong contender, while No But I Will and improving mare Pougne Aminta add further spice to the race.

The progressive mare POUGNE AMINTA, impressive at Wetherby last time, can follow up under good-value claimer Jack Hogan.

Gabriel's Getaway

2.25/1(+0%)
(3) Gabriel's Getaway 2.25/1, Hasn't looked back since sent handicap chasing, following up his debut win at Taunton (18.2f) with cosy success at Lingfield (16f, good) in February. Likely more to come yet. Engaged 6.05 Exeter Friday.

1st (7) Sabbathical (16/1 +20%)
Sabbathical

16/1(+20%)
(7) Sabbathical 16/1, Scored over fences at Leicester in February but below form since, albeit in heavy ground back over hurdles last 2 starts. Could bounce back.
2
2nd (6) Madiba Passion (5/1 +23%)
Madiba Passion

5/1(+23%)
(6) Madiba Passion 5/1, Expensive acquisition from points (dual winner) but clearly has had his share of issues and folded out of things quite quickly on return/chase debut at Hereford (2m). However, much better when runner-up at Lingfield 2 months ago and claims if building on that.
3
3rd (9) Est Illic (28/1 +15%)
Est Illic

28/1(+15%)
(9) Est Illic 28/1, Fairly useful sort at his best but has essentially become disappointing nowadays, again looking awkward when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good). Showed nothing at Chepstow since, however.
4
4th (4) Blueberry Wine (6/1 -9%)
Blueberry Wine

6/1(-9%)
(4) Blueberry Wine 6/1, Fair dual winner over fences last season and all the better for return when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago. Had more in hand than bare margins suggest so 4 lb rise looks fair enough.
5th
5th (1) Chanceux (5/1 +38%)
Chanceux

5/1(+38%)
(1) Chanceux 5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who improved at first attempt over fences when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in December and finally matched that form when second at Stratford. More needed to go one better, however.
6th
6th (5) Gandhi Maker (3/1 +50%)
Gandhi Maker

3/1(+50%)
(5) Gandhi Maker 3/1, Irish point winner who has bounced back to form reverted to front-running tactics, supplementing his Newcastle victory when easily making all at Sedgefield. Even better form when second at Kelso and may well have resumed winning ways but for falling at the last at Carlisle. Claims of none the worse.
7th
7th (8) Twotwothree (18/1 +10%)
Twotwothree

18/1(+10%)
(8) Twotwothree 18/1, Three-time winner over fences for Oliver Greenall but mixed record for this yard this term, running poorly over C&D 4 weeks ago.
|U|
|U| (2) Feel The Pinch (4.5/1 +18%)
Feel The Pinch

4.5/1(+18%)
(2) Feel The Pinch 4.5/1, Fair hurdler who made a successful switch to chasing at Bangor in November. In good form back hurdling since, adding to his tally there in good style on debut for this yard in March. Only third back over fences at Stratford since but shaped like a non-stayer. This trip more suitable.
|PU|
|PU| (10) Glebe Road (14/1 +22%)
Glebe Road

14/1(+22%)
(10) Glebe Road 14/1, Winning pointer who was only modest at best over hurdles and made a discouraging start in this sphere after 8 months off when pulled up at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) in November. Fared no better on chase/yard debut at Wetherby since.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

2.25/1 (3) GABRIEL'S GETAWAY and 5.5/1 (4) BLUEBERRY WINE seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent successes and form. 6/1 (5) GANDHI MAKER also has a good record and may be worth considering, while 6/1 (6) MADIBA PASSION and 7/1 (2) FEEL THE PINCH could be dark horses if they improve on their previous performances. The other horses have either been inconsistent or have shown little form recently.

GANDHI MAKER has been a revelation in this sphere since the turn of the year and he still looked to be holding every chance at Carlisle when coming to grief. A return to better ground is likely to benefit him further and the seven-year-old is preferred to recent C&D winner Blueberry Wine, who stepped forward from his return at Leicester, and course specialist Feel The Pinch, who scored here over hurdles on his penultimate effort.

GABRIEL'S GETAWAY has made an excellent start to his chasing career, winning both his starts, and is potentially still in front of the handicapper. Gandhi Maker probably would have won but for falling at the last at Carlisle so rates the main threat ahead of Blueberry Wine, who was value extra for his win over C&D 4 weeks ago.

The pick is GANDHI MAKER, who has made very good progress this year and might have been unlucky not to land a good prize last month.

(7) Tullyhogue Fort 28/1, Scored at Listowel in September. Only twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) 58 days ago so not easy to make a case for.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 6/1 (14) GHASHAM seems to have the most promising recent form and a career best win in its last race. It also has solid claims for the upcoming handicap hurdle. 16/1 (6) ZAFAR and 4/1 (3) VANDEMERE also have potential, but 6/1 (14) GHASHAM seems to be the top pick.

VANDEMERE has shown more than enough in his two starts under Rules to suggest that a mark of 107 is manageable on his handicap debut. The form of his stable is another plus and he may have have too much for recent Market Rasen winner Ghasham and Thankyourluckystar, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Ludlow. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Hidor De Bersy, Iceman Dennis and Jipekaa Machin.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ZAFAR is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark having caught the eye despite finishing only tenth at Musselburgh last time. Vandemere is much less exposed and feared most on his first venture into handicaps ahead of Market Rasen scorer Ghasham.

Irish point winner VANDEMERE (nap) shaped with considerable promise on his first two hurdle starts and can score on his handicap debut.

2.5/1(-11%)
(10) Doctor Foley 2.5/1, Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points and well held in a trio of maiden hurdles (latest after 15 months off for his new stable). Could prover a different proposition now chasing so one to look out for in the market. Engaged 4.30 Fontwell Friday.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 4/1 (4) STORM TIGER and 7/1 (2) LE TUEUR seem to have had recent consistent form and have performed well in their respective races. Additionally, 2.25/1 (10) DOCTOR FOLEY could potentially improve now that he is chasing, so he may be worth keeping an eye on in the market.

LE TUEUR has been a model of consistency since moving to Sarah Humphrey this season, having won a couple of times last month. This stout stayer will be suited by a strong pace and still appears to be on a decent mark, with Jay Tidball claiming a handy 7lb allowance. Although Storm Tiger is yet to get off the mark under Rules, he has gone close a few times recently and is likely to be thereabouts. On The Platform has shown a clear liking for this track in the past and is another worthy of consideration.

Point-winner STORM TIGER has been shaping up quite well over fences and now looks ready for a crack at 3m, so he gets the tentative vote. Le Tueur has a more convincing profile than most of these and is a threat, with Doctor Foley a potential improver now tackling the larger obstacles.

Stella Barclay's STORM TIGER has been knocking on the door and is now 1lb lower than when third in a competitive series final in March.

(4) Zucayan 7.5/1, Fair form in bumpers and got off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Ludlow (15.7f) last May. Not disgraced from 6 lb higher when third at Ffos Las the following month and should be up to making his presence felt if ready to roll following a 10-month absence.

(1) Nothingtochance 2.25/1, Sister to Edwardstone who is going the right way over hurdles and got off the mark in professional fashion in 2m maiden at Fakenham (2m) 36 days ago. Ventures into handicap company now and open to further improvement.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

1.63/1 (1) NOTHINGTOCHANCE and 6.5/1 (4) ZUCAYAN seem to have the best chances based on their recent form and past performances. 1.63/1 (1) NOTHINGTOCHANCE has recently won a maiden at Fakenham in a professional fashion and is now entering handicap company, while 6.5/1 (4) ZUCAYAN got off the mark over hurdles on their handicap debut and has shown fair form in bumpers. 8/1 (5) FORCE DE FRAP also has a chance, having revitalized their form and bounced back to form after a couple of lesser efforts.

NOTHINGTOCHANCE got off the mark in impressive style at Fakenham last month and has been allocated an opening mark of 109. That may underestimate her ability, being a full-sister to Edwardstone, and she is taken to concede weight all round and make it two on the spin. Zucayan hasn't been seen for just under a year but is capable of entering calculations, while Spirit Of Regulus was last seen going down narrowly at Doncaster in February conceding 7lb all-round and has had wind surgery since.

NOTHINGTOCHANCE is improving by the run and looks to have been allotted a very fair opening mark, so she makes plenty of appeal. Force de Frap and Zucayan head the opposition.

After taking a huge step forward when fourth in a good-quality Doncaster novice last month, BEAR A HAND could be the answer.

(2) On Springs 12/1, Not entirely straightforward but thrived last summer, winning 4 times. Failed to complete in 3 of first 4 starts returning from a break but cashed in on a very weak race at Doncaster in February. Visor back on and not an obvious follow-up contender.

The King Of May

14/1(-17%)
(6) The King Of May 14/1, Fairly useful chaser who returned to form, refitted with cheekpieces, when second of 5 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f) in March. Carlisle race 10 days later may have come too soon given he was well held.

8th (10) Reserve Tank (6/1 +50%)
Reserve Tank

6/1(+50%)
(10) Reserve Tank 6/1, Inconsistent sort who is winless since 2019. Failed miserably to back up his Chepstow run at Taunton latest and don't need many excuses to look elsewhere.

|U| (9) Blue Hawaii (6/1 -50%)
Blue Hawaii

6/1(-50%)
(9) Blue Hawaii 6/1, Showed benefit of a Flat spin when opening chase account at Sedgefield (19.3f) a month ago, leading under pressure between last 2 and clear run-in. 6 lb higher now but unlikely she's reached her limit in this sphere.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 6/1 (11) ALLO ALLO is likely to do well as it has won in the past and has also performed well on its recent chasing debut despite a mishap. The other horses do not have as strong of a track record or have had recent dips in form, making them less likely contenders.

A 6lb rise may not be enough to stop BLUE HAWAII following up last month's easy win at Sedgefield. The step up in trip appeared to do the trick on that occasion and everything points to another big performance from the daughter of Jeremy. The Ben Pauling-trained On Springs is another last-time-out winner, having won at Doncaster in February, and is sure to be suited by these drying conditions, while others to consider include Yggdrasil and Taste The Fear.

A 6 lb rise for BLUE HAWAII's clear-cut success at Southwell a month ago looks perfectly fair and, on this, just her fifth start over fences, there may well be more to come. Yggdrasil could be a factor back over the larger obstacles, while Allo Allo may well get back on track following an unseat latest.

Class-droppers Ubetya and HEARTBREAK KID have both become well handicapped and might fight this out. The latter gets the vote.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Bangor NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 7/1 (7) WISE GUY seems like an interesting recruit to Rules, having been successful in his sole start in point bumpers and with a French Flat win in his dam's record. 8.5/1 (9) MRS TABITHA also makes plenty of appeal on paper, being a half-sister to high-class hurdler and top-class chaser Presenting Percy.

As one of only a couple with previous experience of racing in a bumper, Josh The Boss is a good starting point, even though he was a surprise winner of a similar contest at Kempton last month. A 7lb penalty does him no favours, however, and MRS TABITHA, a half-sister to the high-class hurdler/chaser Presenting Percy, may represent better value granted her sex allowance on debut for an in-form yard. Atlantic View and Golden Identity are other newcomers to note.

MRS TABITHA is in good hands and boasts a notable pedigree, so she's worth chancing to make a winning start at the likely expense of Josh The Boss, who scored at Kempton last month. Atlantic View is another interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to JOSH THE BOSS, who showed a good attitude when beating 16 rivals at Kempton last month and is open to more progress.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Bangor NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

1.63/1 (1) DANCING IN BRAZIL looks like the most promising horse based on the summary, with a strong NH debut and respectable efforts in subsequent starts. 5/1 (2) BINGO LITTLE and 8.5/1 (9) REELY DELIGHTFUL also show promise based on their pedigrees and being of interest on debut. The other horses may require further improvement to be competitive.

The third-place finish in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham registered by DANCING IN BRAZIL on his penultimate start sets a high standard and he is taken to bounce back from a disappointing effort when he attempted to back it up at Kempton in February. Alan King's gelding was hampered when winding up with his effort that day and a smoother passage should see him in a better light. Push The Button and Bingo Little look the pick of the remainder.

BINGO LITTLE is from the family of Coney Island, so he may need further in time, but he's worth chancing first time out for a stable that has enjoyed an excellent season. Dancing In Brazil has the best form and looks the obvious alternative, while Reely Delightful also strikes as a notable debutante.

Although penalised again, Huntingdon winner DANCING IN BRAZIL has less on his plate than at Cheltenham and Kempton.

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.
