17:50 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1/4 +50%) Valgrand	0.25 1/4(+50%)	(2) Valgrand 1/4, Very useful form shown in bumpers and scored readily on his hurdles debut in 2m Uttoxeter maiden 24 days ago. The one to beat with more to come. Fourth in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last month and won on recent hurdling debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -17%) Speed Davis	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Speed Davis 7/2, Irish/point bumper winner who landed maiden at Musselburgh (17.4f) in April. Solid fourth under a penalty at Hexham following month so needs considering. Disappointing favourite last time but was emphatic winner at Musselburgh in April.
3	3 3rd (3) (80/1 +20%) Brockarno	80 80/1(+20%)	(3) Brockarno 80/1, Showed promise on his debut in February 2023 but has failed to repeat that form in a trio of outings subsequently, sixth of nine on his hurdling bow over 2m here 10 days ago. More is required. Beaten about 15l when sixth in weak maiden here (2m) on recent hurdling debut.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -100%) Touchwoodexpress	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Touchwoodexpress 16/1, Won sole start in points but he came in a well-held sixth of 10 in novice at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy) on hurdles bow 97 days ago. Lots more is needed. Placed in run-of-the-mill bumper last year; tailed off when upped to 3m for hurdling debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (250/1 -279%) Fennella	250 250/1(-279%)	(7) Fennella 250/1, Well held sole outing in bumpers and unseated rider early on Huntingdon hurdling debut. Unseated rider at second flight when 150-1 for last month's hurdling debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -100%) We Ain't Walking	100 100/1(-100%)	(5) We Ain't Walking 100/1, Pulled up sole start in Irish points but has shown ability in his two runs over hurdles this spring, fifth in 2m Ludlow novice on latter occasion. Possibilities. Not beaten far when fifth of six on hurdling debut at Ludlow but much more is needed here.
7th	6 7th (6) (300/1 -140%) After Midnight	300 300/1(-140%)	(6) After Midnight 300/1, In need of experience in 2 bumpers but has failed to complete both starts in maiden hurdles, losing touch before 2 out when pulled up at Hereford (19.7f) last time. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Failed to complete when a big-priced outsider for first two hurdling attempts.

17:50 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

VALGRAND displayed a high level of ability in bumpers and he made a seamless transition to hurdling when winning at Uttoxeter earlier this month. Despite the penalty, the five-year-old appears to have been found an ideal opportunity to follow up. Speed Davis must also shoulder a penalty but he is still the main danger, while Touchwoodexpress is most appealing of the remainder.

Dan Skelton's VALGRAND scored in good style on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and rates a confident choice to defy a 7 lb penalty and follow up. Hexham fourth Speed Davis appeals as the one to chase him home, with We Ain't Walking looking best equipped to take minor honours.

It's hard to get away from VALGRAND, who ran very well in a hot Aintree bumper last month and has since won over hurdles.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (7/1 +0%) Hystery Bere	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Hystery Bere 7/1, Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick over a year ago. Mixed record since, easy to back and pulled up at Uttoxeter on Sunday. Pulled up on soft on Sunday and yet to convince he stays 2m4f.
1	6 1st (6) (6/4 +45%) Lipa K	1.5 6/4(+45%)	(6) Lipa K 6/4, Bumper/hurdles winner who overcame mistakes when making a successful chase/stable debut over shorter here 5 weeks ago. Will need to jump better to follow up but might well have learnt from that. Justified support on last month's chase debut; strong claims off 6lb higher..
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Bagheera Ginge	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Bagheera Ginge 7/2, Winner of 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles and given a well-judged ride from the front when opening chase account at the seventh attempt at Warwick (2½m, good) in October. Good second at Hereford following month but off since. Possibly high enough in the weights but respected back from a break nonetheless..
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 -36%) Le Cameleon	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(3) Le Cameleon 15/2, Multiple winner who hinted at a revival for his new yard after 5 months off/wind op when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good) 36 days ago. One to consider. Two chase wins at 2m4f and 3m but out of sorts on last 3 starts and has plenty to prove.
4	4 4th (4) (15/8 +37%) Imperial Bede	1.875 15/8(+37%)	(4) Imperial Bede 15/8, French bumper/hurdles winner who ran out a ready winner on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f) in February. Yet to build on that, let down by jumping when fourth at Hereford 2 weeks ago, but he's better than that. Not fully exposed and any further rain would be to his advantage; contender..

18:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although Le Cameleon has not been at his very best in recent starts, the nine-year-old finds himself on a competitive mark and should fare better eased in class on his second outing following wind surgery. Bagheera Ginge proved to be largely consistent over the larger obstacles last year and is worth considering ahead of his return, but it is LIPA K that shades preference. The son of Mamool made a successful fencing bow over an extended 2m1f here last month, so a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him with improvement likely.

This looks wide-open but LIPA K overcame mistakes when making a winning chase bow here 5 weeks ago and he's entitled to improve on that with this longer trip a possible help. Le Cameleon is becoming well handicapped and offered something to work on starting out for this yard at Kempton, while Imperial Bede is better than able to show last time.

Lipa K commands respect in his follow-up bid but preference is for IMPERIAL BEDE who is better than he showed last time.

18:55 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (17/2 +15%) Minniemum	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(2) Minniemum 17/2, Free-goer who was a good second over 3m at Doncaster in December. Looked all set to go one better when unseating her rider at the last at Catterick following month but hasn't fired since. 0-10 over hurdles but unlucky not to have won in January; down 3lb and respected..
2	4 2nd (4) (18/1 -80%) Home Sweet Highway	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Home Sweet Highway 18/1, Runner-up on completed start in points and would have been placed but for unseating at the last at Ayr on his hurdles debut. Hasn't progressed from that since, including on handicap/chasing debut at Stratford last time. Something to prove. Well held on chase/handicap debut latest but return to longer trip and hurdles might suit..
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +33%) Tregele	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Tregele 5/1, Showed promise in early starts over hurdles and got back on track when fifth in a handicap at Ffos Las 13 days ago. This is less competitive and he should be involved. Ran well for a long way latest; relatively unexposed and longer trip should suit..
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 +11%) Justshortofabubble	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Justshortofabubble 8/1, Has proved remarkably consistent and posted another solid effort when third at Leicester 5 months ago. Back over hurdles for this return and might strip fitter for it. Three-time chase winner; 6lb lower mark over hurdles but yet to win after 17 attempts..
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 -22%) Izzy's Grey	11 11/1(-22%)	(7) Izzy's Grey 11/1, Just modest form to date but he's not fully exposed and travelled well to a point when fourth of 6 at Hereford on reappearance recently. Should be better for that, so can't be ruled out. Encouraging fourth at Hereford back from a break; each-way claims if building on that..
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +11%) Josie Alice	8 8/1(+11%)	(6) Josie Alice 8/1, Winning Irish pointer who has run to only a modest level in bumpers/hurdles so far, finishing a creditable fourth at Hexham on second handicap outing last time. May yet have more to offer. Solid effort over 2m4f latest; respected off 2lb lower back up in distance..
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +32%) Nelson Criq	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(5) Nelson Criq 15/2, Showed ability in a bumper and novice hurdles but failed to improve as required for the switch to handicaps as yet. Still low mileage. Likely there's more to come for this step up in distance; considered.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -25%) Oneway Express	25 25/1(-25%)	(10) Oneway Express 25/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 7 months ago, behind when jumping right 4 out. Pulled up in a point more recently and likely to struggle from out of the weights. 0-6 over hurdles; pulled up in a point this month; 5lb wrong back hurdling.
9th	11 9th (11) (80/1 -60%) Mistertommyshelby	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) Mistertommyshelby 80/1, Overall record an uninspiring one and looks firmly up against it from out of the weights. Modest maiden, has plenty to find from well out of the weights..
3	3 \|F\| (3) (11/2 -10%) Electric Jet	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Electric Jet 11/2, Runner-up on the first of his 2 starts in maiden points last spring. Promise on two of his three hurdling outings to date and could up his game if his jumping improves now handicapping. Enters calculations now up in trip on handicap debut having shown promise at 2m4f..
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (9/2 -35%) Newtonian	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(9) Newtonian 9/2, Belatedly off the mark when landing a handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 22 days ago, finding extra. Can make presence felt again. Belatedly off the mark last time; 3lb rise looks fair and respected.

18:55 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in trip might hold the key to ELECTRIC JET's chances, and he is taken to build on a couple of promising efforts in maiden company now sent handicapping off a workable mark. Newtonian was on target over 3m1f at Warwick earlier this month and should be more than capable raised just 3lb in the ratings, while others to note include Josie Alice and Minniemum.

ELECTRIC JET has shaped with encouragement on a couple of hurdling outings and his point form gives him scope for improvement, so he's worth a chance to make a successful handicap debut at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Newtonian. Tregele is another one to consider in a less-competitive event than the one he contested at Ffos Las recently.

Plenty to consider in an open contest. Nelson Criq is respected but a chance is taken on JOSIE ALICE back up in distance.

19:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (6/1 +8%) Whatdeawant	6 6/1(+8%)	(4) Whatdeawant 6/1, Pretty useful novice hurdler for Willie Mullins during 2021/22 campaign, best effort when third in the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival. Safely held when third back from over a year off for new yard in a Hexham handicap chase (2½m, soft) earlier this month and he's probably worth taking on. Smart novice hurdler in 2022 but just a respectable third in recent Hexham handicap chase.
1	1 (1) (10/3 -21%) Boombawn	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(1) Boombawn 10/3, Useful hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when scoring with plenty left in the tank at Warwick (2½m, good) recently. Mark looks manageable on handicap debut in this sphere and he'll be the one to beat if taking his chance. Engaged 4.05 Cartmel Monday. Five-time hurdle winner; scored on recent chasing debut; finished 3rd at Cartmel Monday.
1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +64%) Lesser	12 12/1(+64%)	(7) Lesser 12/1, Point/bumper winner who looked a good prospect when landing brace of novice hurdles during first half of 2021. Well below par both starts since returning from a lengthy absence, though, including when returned to this sphere at Uttoxeter last time. Back from mammoth absence with two disappointing runs this year; tricky to weigh up.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/8 +77%) Flaming Ambition	1.375 11/8(+77%)	(6) Flaming Ambition 11/8, Won sole start in points and confirmed promise of eye-catching hurdling debut up in trip when landing a 21f Warwick maiden in March 2022. Off for 2 years prior to last month's return/chase debut at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) but that didn't stop him and there could be more to come from this 7-y-o. Very lightly raced 7yo; returned from long absence to win on last month's chasing debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -50%) Hometown Boy	5 5/1(-50%)	(2) Hometown Boy 5/1, Useful hurdles form during 2020/21 campaign, the highlight of which was a Grade 3 handicap success at Aintree. Shaped as though plenty of ability remains intact when third on chase debut following a lengthy absence in October, but failed to complete next time and others look stronger. First two chasing attempts did not go well but he may yet get his act together over fences.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +56%) Watergrange Jack	4 4/1(+56%)	(5) Watergrange Jack 4/1, Showed improved form over hurdles in 2023/24, successful at Worcester in August before going on to score twice at Fontwell. Left low-key chase debut behind when going close at Stratford (22.6f, good) recently and he has to enter calculations. Pulled up on chasing debut but this month's close second at Stratford was much better.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/3 +17%) First Street	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) First Street 10/3, Four-time hurdles winner who was turned over when long odds on for a match on chase debut at Kempton in November. Bettered that when 4½ lengths fourth to Boombawn at Warwick (due to meet that rival on same terms here), for all that his jumping still lacked conviction. This stiffer test may help. Smart hurdler at his best but yet fully to convince as a chaser after two attempts.

19:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

An interesting field includes the classy hurdler HOMETOWN BOY, who was a Grade 3 winner over the smaller obstacles. Third on his debut over fences, the nine-year-old fell at Newbury in February but may be worth another chance after three months off. Flaming Ambition won't be stopping over this trip judged on his narrow Uttoxeter victory and, from nearer the bottom of the weights, he could rival Stratford second Watergrange Jack in the race for the places.

The vote goes to the unexposed FLAMING AMBITION, who was returning from a two-year absence when making a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter. A 4 lb rise almost certainly underestimates him. If Boombawn goes to post he will take some stopping but, assuming he takes up his engagement at Cartmel on Monday, Watergrange Jack and First Street could emerge as the main dangers.

The vote goes to very lightly raced 7yo FLAMING AMBITION, who made a good start to his chasing career last month.

1	5 1st (5) (5/2 +29%) Collingham	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Collingham 5/2, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm, 17/2) 16 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations. Respected back up 3lb if in the same form as when winning at Ludlow last time..
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 -25%) Finest View	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(4) Finest View 5/2, Won 4 on the bounce for this yard in spring 2022 but not at the same level for Andrew Martin last year. However, her mark has dropped as a result and she made her second start back with Alan King a winning one at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) last month. 2 lb rise very fair. Back to winning ways at Stratford last month; remains well treated back up 2lb.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +17%) Tedley	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(2) Tedley 10/3, Wincanton maiden winner (15.2f) in February who has hit the frame in a brace of handicaps this spring, latterly when fourth, in first-time cheekpieces, at Hexham (16.2f, soft) earlier this month. Should go well again. Reliable and versatile 5yo who should give another good account..
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 +46%) Let's Go Joe	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(7) Let's Go Joe 15/2, Runner-up in a point before making winning hurdles bow for new yard in maiden at Sedgefield in November. However, proved disappointing since (including over fences) and no surprise to see headgear reached for. First-time cheekpieces need to spark a revival after some modest efforts this year..
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -79%) Forcing Bull	25 25/1(-79%)	(6) Forcing Bull 25/1, Won a pair of Sedgefield novice hurdles in March 2023 but gone backwards since, failing to complete in both outings last season. Plenty to prove at present. Has the ability to figure based on his two wins in March 2023 but not so good since..
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -60%) Mick Maestro	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Mick Maestro 16/1, Dual winner over hurdles in 2022 who fared better than of late when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Fairly treated if able to build on that. Back to form latest; on a good mark and respected at this level..
7th	3 7th (3) (25/1 -150%) Sea Grey	25 25/1(-150%)	(3) Sea Grey 25/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat who got off the mark for new connections over hurdles at Catterick (19.3f) in December. Disappointed in both completed starts over timber since, however, and others look better treated. Unseated early in a C&D handicap latest; capable 5yo but has a point to prove at present..

19:55 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Donald McCain has a good recent record in this race and Forcing Bull is one to note with Brian Hughes booked. Pulled up on his only two starts last season, the seven-year-old could do better if he settles here, but may have to give way to TEDLEY. Fourth in a higher grade at Hexham last time, he races off the same mark now and could make the most of the weaker opposition. Collingham and Finest View might battle it out for third spot.

FINEST VIEW returned to winning ways at Stratford last month and remains nicely treated on old form. She can follow up. Collingham and Tedley look the likeliest dangers.

Collingham has to be feared but FINEST VIEW (nap) remains on a good mark despite going back up 2lb for her recent Stratford win.

5	5 (5) (5/4 +17%) Al Sayah	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(5) Al Sayah 5/4, Looks to be improving well, making it 2 from 2 in handicaps in dominant fashion in 6-runner event at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) last week. More to come and much respected in hat-trick bid. Improving filly; strong chance of completing the hat-trick under penalty..
1	1 (1) (22/1 -83%) Never No Trouble	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Never No Trouble 22/1, Consistent sort who clearly wasn't 100% percent on the day when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in November. Cheekpieces reapplied and can bounce back after a break. Aided by Williams Maggs's 5lb claim, she can make her presence felt back from a break..
1	2 1st (2) (6/5 +70%) Barrons Land	1.2 6/5(+70%)	(2) Barrons Land 6/5, Showed improved form making a quick switch to handicaps when winning 14-runner event at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 18 days ago. Can progress again. Game effort to win on handicap debut; respected and likely there's more to come.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/6 +63%) Special Dragon	0.833333 5/6(+63%)	(4) Special Dragon 5/6, Progressed again over 2f longer trip when winning 8-runner handicap at Ludlow (21.2f, good) 34 days ago, leading on bridle 3 out and in command last. Hiked up 11 lb but has more to offer and can follow up. 11lb hike for her latest win will ask a question but she could prove to be up to it..
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +0%) Chooch	9 9/1(+0%)	(3) Chooch 9/1, Failed by a long chalk to confirm previous form when pulled up in maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 19 days ago. Has shown ability and improvement not ruled out on handicap debut fitted with a hood..

20:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

AL SAYAH is looking for a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty but Dylan Johnston's 5lb claim will help with that. An easy nine-length winer at Hereford on Friday, she is turned out quickly and could strike again at this level. Barrons Land may take them along and set the race up for the selection, although Special Dragon won with some ease at Ludlow and may prove the bigger danger.

A good race for the grade with SPECIAL DRAGON, Al Sayah and Barrons Land all unexposed and appealing as the types to win more races, with narrow preference for the first named, who looked some way ahead of her mark when thumping her 7 rivals at Ludlow last month.

Barrons Land and Special Dragon are respected but they might struggle to concede weight to the hat-trick seeking AL SAYAH.

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.
