13:50 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/1 +50%) Halifax	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) Halifax 5/1, Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February and confirmed return to form when doubling his tally in a small-field contest at Ffos Las in June. Arrives on back of solid third at Newton Abbot (21.6f) and is one of the likelier contenders. A winner in June and latest third was okay given the trip of 2m5f (wants further).
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 -82%) Finisk River	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Finisk River 5/1, Scored 4 times (at up to 20f) in 2022 but has struggled to recapture that form in 3 outings this year. Tries longer trip now but has something to prove at present. Most of his form is over shorter but has won over 2m6f and this far is worth a go.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 -50%) Blakeney Point	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Blakeney Point 18/1, Unreliable type who scored over C&D last summer but has rarely threatened since. Blinkers now reapplied but makes limited appeal. Won this last year when confined to conditional jockeys; out of form of late.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) One Touch	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) One Touch 4/1, Scored twice over shorter trips last summer, including over this course, and shaped as if better for the run at Newton Abbot (on return from 11 months off) in July. May well get back on the up now fully up to speed. Won on this card last year; may have needed his return; chance if getting the trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Umndeni	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Umndeni 2.25/1, Scored 3 times in this sphere for Philip Hobbs, latest at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 2 years ago. Disappointed more recently but has plunged down the handicap and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new connections. Kicks off for Irish yard on a dangerous mark; watch the betting.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (7/1 +36%) Ballintubber Boy	7 7/1(+36%)	(4) Ballintubber Boy 7/1, Won twice over this sort of trip last season but ran poorly on sole outing this term at Market Rasen in May, labouring from circuit out. Others looks more solid. Four-time winner, two of them handicaps; not the easiest to predict, however.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Butler's Brief	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Butler's Brief 8.5/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard at Uttoxeter in July. Proved conclusively that fences aren't for him when pulled up at Worcester 2 days ago and likely to do better back over smaller obstacles here. Below best since winning three starts ago and ran a laboured race on Sunday.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

ONE TOUCH, who scored over an extended 2m3f here last summer, made a pleasing return to action at Newton Abbot 36 days ago. The handicapper has given the nine-year-old a chance by dropping him 2lb for that effort and, with scope for improvement over this new trip, there is a lot to like about his chances. Halifax appears to be on a workable mark, while Finisk River is feared most from the remainder.

It could be worth chancing Irish raider UMNDENI, who is 16 lb below his last winning mark and his new yard have secured the services of Jordan Gainford. One Touch and Halifax look the likeliest dangers.

One Touch is feared but UMNDENI could be worth risking off a vastly reduced mark on his first run for an Irish stable.

14:25 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (3/1 -50%) Come On Du Berlais	3 3/1(-50%)	(3) Come On Du Berlais 3/1, Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott. Placed both starts over hurdles in the UK without fully matching the picking of her Irish form (tongue tied latest) but a big contender on these terms after a wind op. Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott; placed in last two hurdles and thereabouts.
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 -108%) Littel Flour	2.5 2.5/1(-108%)	(4) Littel Flour 2.5/1, Surely has a race in her over hurdles, looking sure to collect until a promising newcomer got his act together in similar event at Newton Abbot 14 days ago. Not long with this yard and this looks a good opening. Two good runs for this yard and probably bumped into a decent prospect last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 +62%) Arctic Fox	1.25 1.25/1(+62%)	(1) Arctic Fox 1.25/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who has failed to complete in her 2 tries over hurdles but remains with potential in this sphere and ran well on the level when last seen. Useful on the Flat (five wins) and running well when falling on final hurdle start.
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 +0%) Luckie Money	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Luckie Money 25/1, Achieved little but might have needed the run on hurdles debut at Stratford 9 weeks ago. July's belated debut at Stratford wasn't without hope but she'll need plenty more here.
4	7 4th (7) (125/1 -56%) Cellar Club	125 125/1(-56%)	(7) Cellar Club 125/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdle. Tailed off in a bumper and one novice hurdle; no appeal for now.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (9/1 +50%) Livalot	9 9/1(+50%)	(8) Livalot 9/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), lost all chance at start last time (looked reluctant). Work to do now hurdling for new yard. No wins in eight on the Flat (1m2f-2m) despite contesting some ropey handicaps.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (200/1 -33%) Champagne Kiss	200 200/1(-33%)	(2) Champagne Kiss 200/1, Out of a point winner but she showed nothing on recent hurdles debut at Worcester. Never remotely dangerous in a 2m7f Worcester maiden when sent off at 150-1.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

LITTEL FLOUR has done well in two previous starts for Jennie Candlish and she can make it third time lucky for her new yard here. Come On Du Berlais is another that has to be taken seriously on her first start after a wind operation, while the once-raced Luckie Money has scope for improvement and can be expected to be wiser after her debut experience at Stratford in July.

LITTEL FLOUR seemed sure to collect until a promising newcomer got his act together late in the day at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago and this looks easier. She can open her account, at the chief expense of Come On du Berlais.

There's no depth to this and LITTEL FLOUR probably has less on her plate than when succumbing to a promising one at Newton Abbot.

15:00 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -75%) Dieu Vivant	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Dieu Vivant 14/1, In good form without winning until only tenth of 27 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 145 days ago. Sort to bounce back off a lenient mark. Better known as a hunter chaser but has been competitive in handicaps.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.83/1 +59%) Quid Pro Quo	0.83 0.83/1(+59%)	(4) Quid Pro Quo 0.83/1, Opened his account over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in April and has improved on that form since, latest when third of six in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 37 days ago. Player. In good form and this belated first run over 3m might well suit him.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -50%) Fidux	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Fidux 6/1, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2021 and tried in cheekpieces when last of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Others appeal more. Below par behind Court Master last time but he's a lot better than that.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 -52%) The Vollan	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) The Vollan 50/1, Registered fourth victory of 2022 in a 4-runner Kelso handicap in October. Ended the year out of sorts, though, and pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Seems to have lost his way and was pulled up at Worcester after a lengthy break.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -133%) Ultimate Getaway	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Ultimate Getaway 14/1, Scored at Ludlow in May 2022 but he returns from 15 months off now. Has his fitness to prove on his comeback. Returns from a long absence off a reduced mark and trainer gets them fit.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (2.5/1 +0%) Court Master	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(2) Court Master 2.5/1, One-time useful chaser for Michael Scudamore. Not discredited back chasing for his new yard when second of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Can go well again here with that form having been franked. Back to approaching his best on the return to fences when second at Uttoxeter.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

COURT MASTER is a prime candidate to make the running here and he may well be able to make his dominance count. The veteran has a consistent profile over fences and, off 4lb lower than when last successful, he has a live chance at the weights. Quid Pro Quo is another reliable type to consider, while Fidux is not ruled out despite not having won for over two years.

QUID PRO QUO arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to get back to winning ways at the chief expense of Court Master who took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time out. Dieu Vivant figures on an attractive mark if back on his A-game and needs considering too.

This step up in trip is well worth exploring with QUID PRO QUO (nap) who has been hard to fault for a while now.

15:35 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 -30%) Vintage Fizz	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(3) Vintage Fizz 6.5/1, Progressed over hurdles last spring, winning a pair of handicaps at around 2½m on good to soft. Successful start over fences at Hexham in May and by no means disgraced when third at Cartmel next time, but needs to raise his game a touch here. Made a good start over fences; close up off this mark at Cartmel last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -5%) Go On Chez	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(2) Go On Chez 3.5/1, Resumed winning ways in emphatic fashion in a first-time tongue strap at Southwell in November. Solid efforts in defeat all 3 starts since returning from a 6-month break and should make his presence felt. Cheekpieces refitted. 3m is probably more his trip and the handicapper may have his measure.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.73/1 +55%) The Big Jetaway	0.73 0.73/1(+55%)	(4) The Big Jetaway 0.73/1, Winner of 3 of his 4 starts over fences and recently opened hurdles account upped to 19.6f here (good), landing the odds with minimum fuss. Remains open to improvement in this sphere and very much the one to beat. 5lb higher than for his final chase win but looks sure to go well again in current form.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Northern Bound	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Northern Bound 5.5/1, Won 3 times over fences last year, including this race, and latest success was gained off a 3 lb higher mark at Newbury (2½m, good to firm) in November. Out of luck in 4 starts since returning from a break in April but yard in good form and he merits respect. Impressive winner of this last year and can deal with this mark; hurdling last time.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on his last three starts, Go On Chez should be thereabouts once more, though he might have to play second-fiddle to THE BIG JETAWAY. Having secured back-to-back victories over fences, Donald McCain's charge recorded a facile hurdling success 15 days ago. 5lb higher back over the larger obstacles, the seven-year-old can land the four-timer. Vintage Fizz can chase the pair home ahead of Northern Bound.

The best is surely yet to come from the THE BIG JETAWAY, who has just the one blot on his chasing copybook and further advanced his reputation with a bloodless win over hurdles here 15 days ago. He remains unexposed over fences and this trip. Last year's winner Northern Bound gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Go On Chez and Vintage Fizz.

All four should go well. THE BIG JETAWAY has dominated his last three races from the front and he can continue the good work.

16:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (33/1 -32%) Swift Tuttle	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Swift Tuttle 33/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Brian Meehan. Also went close on the level for this yard at Haydock in the spring but pulled up in C&D handicap back hurdling 15 days ago. Flat maiden and 33-1 when pulled up on his recent handicap hurdle debut at this track.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 -40%) Theonlywayiswessex	7 7/1(-40%)	(5) Theonlywayiswessex 7/1, Dual AW Flat winner for this yard earlier in the year. Possible he needed the run after a short break (had wind surgery) when only seventh of 9 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July and being eased another 3 lb can only help. Dual AW winner; only 7th last time hurdling but not sure good to soft ground was ideal.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.88/1 +6%) Choirmaster	1.88 1.88/1(+6%)	(3) Choirmaster 1.88/1, Fairly useful on Flat and in good nick in this sphere since undergoing a wind op, winning a C&D handicap 15 days ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie now. Much respected up 4 lb. Dug deep to beat an in-form rival with the pair clear over C&D two weeks ago; up 6lb.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +46%) Cumhacht	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(4) Cumhacht 3.5/1, Modest maiden. Mostly creditable efforts in handicaps this season but his mark hasn't budged much as a result and he'll need to pull out a little more to get off the mark. Has run some decent races and Stratford last time (2m) was one of them.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -100%) Ve Day	7 7/1(-100%)	(1) Ve Day 7/1, Fair maiden on the level for Andrew Balding. Landed 4-runner juvenile at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March. Has only matched rather than bettered that since and his opening handicap mark in this sphere isn't obviously generous. Consistent; does look on a high mark but Peter Kavanagh's claim will help.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (2.75/1 +17%) Governor Green	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(2) Governor Green 2.75/1, Got off the mark over C&D in April and posted a solid third off a 7 lb higher mark in 2m handicap at Uttoxeter 4 weeks later. Contender if returning from a 108-day break in similar form. Landed a gamble here in April and posted the same RPR in defeat next time.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

CHOIRMASTER struck over course and distance from 6lb lower last month and the four-year-old could find further improvement with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, and he is taken to follow up. Ve Day continues to knock on the door and must firmly enter the reckoning, along with Governor Green, who hit the frame at Uttoxeter from a 1lb higher mark last time out.

If CHOIRMASTER pulls out only a little more for cheekpieces he might be able to add to last month's C&D success. Governor Green was in fine form when last seen in the spring and is second choice ahead of Cumhacht.

A chance is taken on THEONLYWAYISWESSEX. He was in good form on the Flat before finding conditions too soft back jumping at Uttoxeter.

16:45 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (14/1 +58%) Anger Management	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Anger Management 14/1, Caused an upset in 4-runner juvenile event at Huntingdon in October but rather gone backwards since, finishing a well-beaten seventh back hurdling at Worcester 14 days ago. Has only won a four-runner non-handicap; didn't show enough back over hurdles at Worcester.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 +56%) Never No Trouble	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(3) Never No Trouble 3.33/1, Gained reward for her consistency when winning 8-runner maiden at Hereford (2m) in February. Placed on all hurdle starts this season, the latest when third over C&D a fortnight ago. First-time visor replaces blinkers. Likely to be thereabouts again. Consistent filly who was placed again over C&D 15 days ago; visor replaces blinkers.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -82%) Punk Rock Girl	20 20/1(-82%)	(6) Punk Rock Girl 20/1, Poor form. Well held in Cartmel handicap when last seen at the end of June and a first-time tongue tie needs to make a big difference. Poor since switched to handicaps, not looking to get home over 2m6f the last twice.
4	10 4th (10) (25/1 +62%) Robeam	25 25/1(+62%)	(10) Robeam 25/1, Showed that he retains some ability when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (3m) in June, but has struggled since, including virtually refusing to race on one occasion. Best to look elsewhere. Ran some decent races last year but currently in the doldrums and only ran last week.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +0%) My Poem	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) My Poem 4/1, Made a successful reappearance for the second year running when accounting for 11 rivals at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in July. Good second at Uttoxeter (2m again) since. Player if stamina holds now stepping up in trip. Running well; unraced over this far but conditions will be up her street.
6th	2 6th (2) (2.5/1 +25%) Taragrace	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(2) Taragrace 2.5/1, Won twice early in 2022 and better than ever under this conditional when runner-up at this venue on his last 2 outings. Another bold show is on the cards. Narrowly beaten over this trip and 2m7f on her last two runs, both here 104 days apart.
7th	12 7th (12) (18/1 +45%) Araglen Star	18 18/1(+45%)	(12) Araglen Star 18/1, Poor form and easy to look elsewhere from 8 lb out of the handicap. Now goes without cheekpieces but can't really afford to be so far out of the weights.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 -150%) Edmond Dantes	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Edmond Dantes 40/1, Back on track after a wind op when second of 10 in 2m handicap hurdle at Hexham in June but ran poorly at Cartmel 8 weeks later. After going close at Hexham he was out with the washing at Cartmel ten days ago.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Calvic	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Calvic 4.5/1, Point winner who has reached the frame in maiden/novice hurdles around 2m this summer, showing enough to think he can be competitive from this opening mark. Longer trip might help too. Positives to take from both starts under rules and trainer keen to go handicapping.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (11/1 +31%) Balranald	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Balranald 11/1, Successful over fences at Sedgefield in winter 2021 and finally opened his account over hurdles in a C&D handicap in May. Backed that up when third here in June and freshened up since a lesser run at Perth later that month. Perth was disappointing last time but first and third on last two visits here.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (28/1 +58%) Luminaries	28 28/1(+58%)	(11) Luminaries 28/1, Offered very little in 6 starts thus far, pulling up at Fontwell when last seen in June. Ragamuffin has to be considered the yard's main hope. Very minor form so far including three handicaps; 4lb out of the weights.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MY POEM bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter last time and she is fancied to go one better raised a further 3lb in the handicap. First-time cheekpieces could eke out more progression from the largely consistent Taragrace, while similar comments apply to Never No Trouble, who is fitted with a visor for the first time. Last month's Market Rasen second Calvic is also noted.

RAGAMUFFIN won off higher marks than this over fences last summer and is taken to build on last week's back-to-form second at Worcester. Donald McCain pair Taragrace and Never No Trouble are pretty consistent and are likely to figure prominently again, while My Poem should also have a say if lasting out over this longer trip.

If RAGAMUFFIN can follow one good run with another then he might be the answer on this drop down to a Class 5.

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.
