1st (1)  (10/3 +0%)Collingham |
10/3(+0%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Collingham 10/3, Added two more 2m handicap wins last May. Left Donald McCain after an early fall at Bangor the following month. Not seen since but potentially a classy sort for a claimer now starting out for Archie Watson. Won six times for Donald McCain; would take a lot of beating if at his best.. |
|
2nd (3)  (2/1 0%)Honneur D'ajonc |
2/1(0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Honneur D'ajonc 2/1, His form has been a bit mixed since joining James Owen but he did win a Fontwell handicap in September and also good second at Haydock in December. Well-held third at Lingfield at the end of January but he's a capable sort for a claimer in a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces). Won at Fontwell in September and second at Haydock in December; below par since.. |
|
3rd (7)  (5/1 +80%)Simply Red |
5/1(+80%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Simply Red 5/1, All 4 career victories have come at Bangor for Donald McCain. Struggled on Flat/over hurdles for Mark Walford last year and no real sign of an upturn in his fortunes under both codes for Brian Ellison this winter. Four hurdle wins; has shown little on the Flat this year but is worth a second look.. |
|
4th (2)  (15/8 +44%)Matchless |
15/8(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Matchless 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to be anywhere near that level to land the odds in seller at Plumpton in November. Didn't take to fences last time but big player back hurdling. Has won four times over hurdles at about 2m; below his best on chase debut last time.. |
|
5th (5)  (12/1 -50%)Fusain |
12/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fusain 12/1, Dual winner over fences during early 2023 but it's been a struggle since, offering little in 2 handicap chases back from an absence this winter. It remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Has shown only modest form over fences this term after a year off.. |
|
6th (4)  (40/1 -60%)Lawmans Blis |
40/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lawmans Blis 40/1, Achieved only modest form over hurdles for this yard last winter. Has landed 3 AW Flat wins for Ivan Furtado since then but recent AW Flat efforts nothing to write home about and best watched back hurdling having rejoined Jennie Candlish. Reunited with former trainer after a spell with Ivan Furtado; worth a market check.. |
|
7th (6)  (100/1 -100%)Jake Stevens |
100/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jake Stevens 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was runner-up in a Sedgefield novice hurdle in November 2023 but has run nowhere near that level in subsequent starts. Maiden hurdler/chaser who doesn't look ready to strike.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Collingham has the ability to go well in a race of this nature but his lack of a recent run just gives the edge to HONNEUR D'AJONC. James Owen's gelding was a well-held third in handicap company last time, but the drop in grade and application of a visor could see a much-improved effort here. Matchless is another who makes the shortlist.
There's not much to separate HONNEUR D'AJONC, Collingham and Matchless in this opening claimer. The first-named has Callum Pritchard taking a handy 5 lb off and gets the nod in the hope that a change of headgear gives him a bit extra.
The tentative selection is COLLINGHAM who would win this with ease if close to his best. The second choice is Honneur d'Ajonc.

1st (1)  (9/1 -125%)Assorda |
9/1(-125%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Assorda 9/1, Ended her time in France with Gabriel Leenders with a 19f Pau claiming win in January. Should be very competitive if showing up here in similar form. Won French claiming hurdle in January and could have a part to play on stable debut. |
|
2nd (5)  (33/1 -65%)Sharona |
33/1(-65%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sharona 33/1, Won a Flat maiden on heavy ground for Peter Chapple-Hyam in 2023 but missed 2024 and sold for only 2,000 gns ahead of this hurdle debut. Probably best watched. Won Flat maiden in October 2023; sold for 2,000gns last August; may be best watched. |
|
3rd (3)  (50/1 -100%)Carrigeen Ardisia |
50/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Carrigeen Ardisia 50/1, 13/2, weakened to finish seventh of 9 in a Newcastle bumper in January. Best watched now hurdling. Attracted market support on debut in bumper but finished soundly beaten. |
|
|F| (2)  (1/16 +88%)Magical Annie |
1/16(+88%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Magical Annie 1/16, Bumper winner who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien when seeing off 7 rivals in a 2m Wetherby novice on soft last month. Should have more to offer and can defy a penalty. Won at Wetherby last month on second hurdle start and leading claims on that form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAGICAL ANNIE took a big step forwards when getting off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby last month and the six-year-old is the one to beat on that evidence, despite a 7lb penalty. Assorda won on her final start in France earlier this year and has to be of some interest on her UK debut, while Uokhun is the pick of the remainder.
MAGICAL ANNIE should have more to come on the back of her Wetherby success and is preferred to Paula Smith's French recruit Assorda.
Having won at Wetherby in February on her second hurdle start, MAGICAL ANNIE can defy a penalty and follow up.

1st (4)  (10/3 +44%)Ensel Du Perche |
10/3(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ensel Du Perche 10/3, A dual 17f chase winner last term and showed he still has plenty to offer when beating a pair of subsequent winners over C&D on New Year's Day. Needs to shrug off a poor run at Newcastle since, however. Inconsistent 11yo who was tailed off last time but has won three of his last eight starts. |
|
2nd (2)  (5/6 -56%)Treaty Boy |
5/6(-56%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Treaty Boy 5/6, Made a winning chase debut over C&D on final run for Rebecca Menzies and first win since (over a year) for this yard when making all over C&D last week, jumping well from the front. This track clearly suits his style so obvious claims under a penalty. Comfortable C&D win last week and a 7lb penalty may not stop him at his favourite course. |
|
3rd (3)  (28/1 +15%)Mcgrath From Clune |
28/1(+15%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mcgrath From Clune 28/1, Good second in handicap chase at Thurles a year ago but has gone the wrong way since (no promise both starts for this yard). There's been no return to form since joining this yard and a major turnaround is needed. |
|
|F| (1)  (11/4 +8%)Beny Nahar Road |
11/4(+8%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beny Nahar Road 11/4, Fairly useful maiden on Flat and runner-up 4 times over hurdles for Paul Nicholls. Filled same spot on yard debut in September but just respectable efforts switched to fences last 2 starts. Free-going sort. Yet to win but encouraging run at Newcastle on second chase run; could be in the shake-up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TREATY BOY appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over C&D eight days ago and even a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop the son of Well Chosen from following up. Ensel Du Perche failed to fire last time but is a player based on his track-and-trip victory the time before. Cases can be made for Beny Nahar Road and McGrath From Clune, but the former is the pick of the pair.
An excellent opportunity for TREATY BOY to follow up under a penalty at a track that evidently suits. Beny Nahar Road is selected for the forecast.
Catterick brings out the best in TREATY BOY, who won comfortably over C&D last week, and he can defy a 7lb penalty.

1st (1)  (11/10 +76%)Hostile Hotelier |
11/10(+76%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hostile Hotelier 11/10, Ran up to best when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, despite typically lugging right under pressure. Holding his form well of late and no surprise if he's thereabouts again. Consistent performer who was second of ten finishers at Musselburgh last month.. |
|
2nd (3)  (10/11 +44%)Edgewell |
10/11(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Edgewell 10/11, Rejuvenated by the refitting of a visor/return to hurdling of late, following up from Southwell under a penalty with a bit to spare at Fakenham (23.4f, good, 13/8) 19 days ago, albeit suited by way race developed. Should go well again. Has taken form to a new level over hurdles with wins at Southwell and Fakenham last month.. |
|
3rd (5)  (9/1 +73%)Balkotic |
9/1(+73%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Balkotic 9/1, C&D winner whose last win came in 2022 and was running well below form when last seen in the autumn. Others preferred. On a good mark after some lacklustre efforts on last four starts but a bit to prove now.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EDGEWELL supplemented his Southwell triumph when scoring with something in hand at Fakenham 19 days ago. Although Rebecca Menzies' charge is a further 6lb higher in the ratings, he still looks ahead of the handicapper and a hat-trick may beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Hostile Hotelier, who showed a bit more when runner-up at Musselburgh last month. Ridin Solo is also noted.
There's plenty of hope in RIDIN SOLO's pedigree that he'll stay the longer trip, so Donald McCain's consistent 8-y-o is taken to follow up his Sedgefield maiden win back in handicap company. Hostile Hotelier and Edgewell both arrive in top form also and are obvious threats.
This is all about EDGEWELL (nap) who has taken off on his last two starts. The consistent Hostile Hotelier is second choice.

2/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Born In The West 2/1, Found improvement since sent handicapping, latest when good second of 9 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and holds solid claims. Runner-up on his last two starts at Sedgefield and Southwell; should go close.. |
|
2nd (6)  (9/2 +40%)Rehill Relic |
9/2(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rehill Relic 9/2, Below form at Doncaster latest but had made the frame in a couple of handicaps over this sort of trip previously and can't be ruled out. Cheekpieces on first time. 0-10 under rules but ran well when making the frame at Doncaster and Market Rasen.. |
|
3rd (7)  (9/1 +64%)Fat Harry |
9/1(+64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fat Harry 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was weakening when coming down 2 out at Southwell when last seen in November. Improvement required to take a hand here. Yet to make the frame from five starts and needs more time.. |
|
4th (3)  (5/1 -67%)Evenwood Sonofagun |
5/1(-67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Evenwood Sonofagun 5/1, Belatedly off the mark when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. 3 lb higher now but must enter calculations. Got off the mark at the 24th attempt over hurdles at Musselburgh last month.. |
|
5th (1)  (17/2 +23%)Eagles Gold |
17/2(+23%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eagles Gold 17/2, Yet to make a real impact in a handful of starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Uttoxeter 39 days ago. Improvement required. Modest form so far, including on handicap debut at Uttoxeter in January.. |
|
6th (2)  (12/1 -20%)Lone Star |
12/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lone Star 12/1, Been given a chance by the handicapper but no obvious signs in recent outings that he is poised to take advantage. Disappointing favourite when seventh of nine finishers at Sedgefield four weeks ago.. |
|
7th (5)  (15/2 -150%)Lahire |
15/2(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lahire 15/2, Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.7f, good to soft, 9/4) 33 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and is one for shortlist. Ran his best race when disqualified after causing interference at Market Rasen in January.. |
|
|PU| (8)  (10/1 +38%)Royle Steel |
10/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Royle Steel 10/1, Yet to fire this term, finishing a well-held seventh over longer trip at Sedgefield last time. Blinkers now tried but he has something to prove at present. Winning hurdler/chaser but has been well held on all five starts this term.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A return to 3m proved just the tonic for last month's Musselburgh winner Evenwood Sonofagun and a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, this extended 2m3f distance may not suit the seven-year-old and it could be worth taking a punt on REHILL RELIC. Sam Allwood's charge hasn't proved the most consistent this season, but he lurks on a dangerous mark and first-time cheekpieces may spark his interest. Lahire and Born In The West are noted too.
BORN IN THE WEST has upped his game in recent starts and remains relatively low mileage. He can open his account. Lahire and Evenwood Sonofagun should also go well.
Preference is for BORN IN THE WEST who has been runner-up on his last two starts. Lahire boasts a similar profile.

1st (1)  (12/1 +25%)Captain Tommy |
12/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Tommy 12/1, Back to best when winning first 2 starts in hunters for this yard around this time last year. Well held at Aintree and Cheltenham since, however, and pulled up in a point when last seen in December. Pulled up the last twice but won hunter chase at Ludlow last March and is not written off. |
|
2nd (3)  (7/4 0%)Eva's Oskar |
7/4(0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eva's Oskar 7/4, Likeable chaser who landed a valuable Cheltenham handicap a couple of seasons back. Looked rusty after 15 months off when sixth on hunter debut at Warwick but left that well behind when winning similar event at Bangor last month and likely to have more to offer in hunters. Fortunate to win hunter chase at Bangor but holds leading claims nevertheless. |
|
3rd (2)  (8/11 +52%)Presentandcounting |
8/11(+52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Presentandcounting 8/11, Twice a winner in small-field contests in 2023 and snapped a losing run when landing a 3-runner C&D handicap in November. Disappointed on hunter debut at Fakenham 3 weeks ago but worth another chance. Won C&D handicap in November and top Irish amateur Derek O'Connor rides; one to consider. |
|
4th (5)  (15/2 +63%)Didero Vallis |
15/2(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Didero Vallis 15/2, Badly out of sorts under Rules for Venetia Williams last spring but proved some ability remains when third in hunter chase at Taunton 2 weeks ago. Could figure if building on that. Has something to find based on recent evidence but the return to Catterick could help. |
|
5th (6)  (80/1 -60%)She Is The Enemy |
80/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) She Is The Enemy 80/1, Has made the frame in points but well held in a couple of maiden hunters last spring. Placed in points but yet to win one and soundly beaten on both hunter chase starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EVA'S OSKAR put a below-par sixth at Warwick behind him when rallying to land the spoils at Bangor last month. Tim Vaughan's veteran beat a competitive field that day and he can go in again. Presentandcounting was somewhat underwhelming at Fakenham 19 days ago, but a return to the scene of his last triumph may help. The son of Presenting shouldn't be far away, with Ask A Honey Bee the pick of the remainder.
EVA'S OSKAR left his comeback behind when winning a similar event at Bangor and this likeable sort could well take another step forward. The obvious threat is Presentandcounting, who disappointed on his hunter debut at Fakenham but rates a big player on the pick of this season's efforts.
None of these have rock-solid credentials and a chance is taken on DIDERO VALLIS, who ran okay last time and seems to like it here.

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.
