1st (1) (2/1 -45%)Pigeon House |
2/1(-45%) | (1) Pigeon House 2/1, Went clear and made bit too much use of up in trip back from break when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective at around 2m, acts on soft and good; should come on for latest. Runner-up both visits to this track, including over 2m4f (33-1) latest; drops back to 2m.. |

10/3(+52%) | (3) Byron Hill 10/3, Well placed off modest pace when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; bit to find at the weights. Shaped okay here last two appearances (2m-2m4f; found wanting in finish); no forlorn hope.. |

125/1(-279%) | (8) Law Degree 125/1, Minor promise on first run over hurdles well beaten in a maiden event at Market Rasen latest; top course trainer; not proven beyond 8f on Flat; bit to prove and soon dropping in grade. Well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); risky.. |

20/1(-43%) | (2) Tara Iti 20/1, Bit below form beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; bit to find with a couple of these at the weights.

40/1(+39%) | (4) Jet Approach 40/1, Disappointing effort on handicap debut well beaten at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; yet to show much over hurdles and now dropped in grade. No impact whatsoever on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f) in December; look elsewhere.. |

250/1(-150%) | (5) Macho Sun 250/1, Fell early in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective 2m; up against it at the weights. Longstanding maiden (0-25); fell at first at Sedgefield (2m1f; 16-1) on latest appearance.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Although Mermaids Cave has proved uncompetitive in handicaps since landing a claimer at Huntingdon in early November, she must enter calculations reverting to this company. The seven-year-old shouldn't be far away, but PIGEON HOUSE is slightly more compelling. Jennie Candlish's inmate arrives on the back of a decent second over an extended 2m3f here and he ticks plenty of the right boxes dropping back to 2m. Tara Iti may fare best of the remainder.

The pair to focus on are MERMAIDS CAVE and Pigeon House. The selection was successful in this grade at Huntingdon in November.

4/1(+38%) | (6) Riviera Walk 4/1, Fell late when held in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; chance back in a maiden if okay after fall. Yet to build upon Chepstow second in October but still goes on the shortlist. |

2nd (4) (7/4 +13%)Jo's Secret |
7/4(+13%) | (4) Jo's Secret 7/4, Below form up in grade and trip well beaten in a Mares' bumper at Fairyhouse latest; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good; only moderate form so far in Ireland, may do better now hurdling in a tongue-tie. Runner-up in a Cork bumper (2m, good); hurdles debut; merits respect with S Bowen booked.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (80/1 -142%)Fitzroy Gardens |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Fitzroy Gardens 80/1, Never in it from off the pace on hurdles debut tried in cheekpieces when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time; off a short-break; effective at 12f on the Flat; surely capable of better. Toiled on hurdles/stable debut at Doncaster (2m; btn 94l) over Christmas; focus elsewhere.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 -64%)Flying Pimpernel |
9/2(-64%) | (1) Flying Pimpernel 9/2, Improved when 3 1/4l third in a Mares' bumper at Plumpton most recent run; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m2f, acts on good to soft and good; can do better now hurdling. Keeping-on third at Plumpton (2m2f mares' NHF) in December; respected on hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +36%)Alibey |
16/1(+36%) | (7) Alibey 16/1, Bit keen despite hood well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective around 12f on the Flat; brings some potential to hurdles. Ex William Haggas; low-key recent Flat stable debut; headgear discarded for hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 +0%)Four Decades |
13/2(+0%) | (2) Four Decades 13/2, Showed more than on hurdles debut beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle at Kempton last time; type to do better once handicapping but has a chance in a weak race here. Slightly better over hurdles, latest at Kempton (2m; eighth of 16; 250-1) over a month ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (80/1 -344%)Just A Poet |
80/1(-344%) | (5) Just A Poet 80/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a Mares' bumper at Wetherby only start; off a long absence; could improve for switch to hurdles. Low-key debut for Sandy Thomson at Wetherby (2m NHF) in Nov 2024; new yard for hurdles bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (500/1 -233%)Melosa |
500/1(-233%) | (9) Melosa 500/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective at 10f on the Flat; stamina to prove over hurdles. Failed to complete in two attempts over hurdles (jumping poorly both occasions); no appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Riviera Walk was running with credit but for falling at the second-last hurdle on her handicap bow at Wincanton in December and she sets the standard of those with hurdling experience. However, JO'S SECRET catches the eye as a rare runner at the course for Tony Martin and she may take some stopping if reproducing the pick of her bumper form. Four Decades is heading in the right direction and can hit the frame.

The booking of Sean Bowen for JO'S SECRET suggests that Tony Martin's mare will be ready to roll.

1st (1) (3/1 -50%)Marty Mcfly |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Marty Mcfly 3/1, Travelled, did it readily when landing a handicap by 5l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft and good to firm; progressive this term and good chance of hat-trick. Two wins at around 2m4f in January; on a career-high mark and down in trip but a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (1/2 +78%)Shadowfax Of Rohan |
1/2(+78%) | (6) Shadowfax Of Rohan 1/2, Idled, improved under aggressive ride down in trip on chase debut back from break after wind op when landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f; may have more to offer over fences and chance under penalty. Winning stable/chase debut over C&D last week (first run after wind op); the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 -75%)Natural Ability |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Natural Ability 28/1, May not have stayed when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent but capable. Sedgefield winner in 2024; cheekpieces tried after two poor runs this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (13/2 +13%)Treaty Boy |
13/2(+13%) | (5) Treaty Boy 13/2, Tired up the hill after series of errors when beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent of late. Creditable third over C&D in January and not disgraced last time; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (25/1 -56%)Starman |
25/1(-56%) | (2) Starman 25/1, Stopped quickly, despite trying a tongue-tie, after a bad error when pulling up in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m, acts on any; fair mark on Irish form and drying ground a plus. Has a chance on his good second to a 1-3 shot over C&D in January but pulled up last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MARTY MCFLY has proved a different proposition since being ridden more positively and a hat-trick may be on the cards. The eight-year-old scored with enough in hand over further here in January to suggest that a 6lb rise won't forestall his progress. Fellow last-time-out winner Shadowfax Of Rohan may give the selection a good lead and isn't taken lightly after making all on his chase bow over C&D. Treaty Boy is best of the rest.

After a winning chase debut over C&D last week on his first run for Patrick Neville, SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN (nap) looks the one to beat.

1st (2) (17/2 +58%)Cold Henry |
17/2(+58%) | (2) Cold Henry 17/2, Ran to form on handicap debut albeit comfortably held at Newcastle last time; effective up to 2m4f over hurdles with cut; longer trip may suit now. Dual Flat winner here in 2022; fair run on h'cap debut over hurdles latest; should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 +36%)East Eagle |
9/2(+36%) | (4) East Eagle 9/2, Ran to form, just tiring late third beaten 8l off 84 last time, same mark here; usually held up; effective 3m, acts on good to soft, run style ideally requires pace collapse. Two decent runs since winning C&D handicap in January, latest last week; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/6 +24%)Junior Des Mottes |
5/6(+24%) | (5) Junior Des Mottes 5/6, Quickened clear easily, improved again in landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Plumpton last time; effective at 3m on soft and good; progressive for new yard now he's had his head in front. Two wins with cheekpieces for current yard, latest at Plumpton last week; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -83%)Community Rebel |
22/1(-83%) | (7) Community Rebel 22/1, Below form when 20l third in a handicap chase at Sedgefield most recent run; effective 3m, acts on good to soft and good; regressive. Won maiden hurdle in 2023; mainly chasing since; hard to know how he'll fare back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/1 -75%)Workhardplayhard |
7/1(-75%) | (1) Workhardplayhard 7/1, Late gains but never competitive when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle latest; in good form prior; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 2m-2m6f, acts with cut; might do better now up in trip and handicapping. Shaped quite well over hurdles in 2023; has run only once since and now makes h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 +31%)Moveonbuy |
11/1(+31%) | (6) Moveonbuy 11/1, Never in it when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on heavy and good; back down to a fair mark. Cartmel winner last June; good 2nd at Wetherby in January, but poor since; headgear tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (9/1 -64%)Beep Beep Becky |
9/1(-64%) | (3) Beep Beep Becky 9/1, Never in it when down the field in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon most recent; off a short-break; effective a 3m in points; may do better now handicapping over further. Irish point second; poor form over hurdles; can do better now up in trip on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (150/1 -436%)Mythical |
150/1(-436%) | (8) Mythical 150/1, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Beverley last time; returning to hurdles after a long layoff and has a lot to find. 1m maiden winner in 2019; not shown a great deal since; stable debut after 341-day break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

JUNIOR DES MOTTES has been found another very winnable opening and can complete the hat-trick in style. He's got a 7lb penalty for winning at Plumpton latest but, given the manner of that performance, this progressive hurdler should be difficult to beat. East Eagle brings winning C&D form to the table and heads the list of dangers from Beep Beep Becky.

A chance on former Irish pointer BEEP BEEP BECKY getting off the mark on her handicap debut with East Eagle her main danger.

4/1(+38%) | (6) Brandy Mcqueen 4/1, Improved when winning a point at Friars Haugh by 4l last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; can go well back under rules on hunter chase debut. One-time quite useful staying hurdler/chaser; point winner last month; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +63%)Lunar Contact |
6/1(+63%) | (5) Lunar Contact 6/1, Below form when comfortably held in a ladies' open point at Friars Haugh last time; effective at 3m; capable of a good run back in a hunter chase. Won 3 races for Tom Ellis in 2024; point winner in January but has stiffer task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (33/1 -106%)Fix At All |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Fix At All 33/1, Didn't stay and maybe needed run when pulled up in a hunter chase at Fakenham latest; effective around 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; form has tailed off. Dual hunter chase winner in 2023; fair 4th at Carlisle in March, but not so good since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+39%) | (4) Isocrate 11/1, Below form comfortably held in a Yorkshire area only point at Duncombe Park last time; effective 2m4f-3m on soft and good; bounce back needed on hunter chase debut. Chase winner; good 2nd on debut for this yard but not so good last time; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|B| (7) (7/1 -75%)Zhiguli |
7/1(-75%) | (7) Zhiguli 7/1, Ran to form when 3 1/2l third in a point at Sheriff Hutton most recent run; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; in good form in points and formerly useful under rules. One-time useful hurdler/chaser; two point wins in 2025; good point 3rd latest; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (4/5 +12%)Gaboriot |
4/5(+12%) | (1) Gaboriot 4/5, Below form when pulled up in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree latest; off a short-break; effective 3m-3m4f with cut; has won last three completed starts in hunter chases. Good 2nd at Aintree in November; decent hunter chaser in 2024 and the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (50/1 -52%)Conquredalofeurope |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Conquredalofeurope 50/1, Again well held in a point at Sheriff Hutton latest; effective 3m, acts with cut; out of form in points and hard to fancy. Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy; fair form in points but faces stiff task here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

GABORIOT has contested Aintree races the last twice over the National fences and has a lot less on his plate returning to hunter chase duty for this assignment. If running to the same level as when runner-up in the Grand Sefton, the 10-year-old will take some stopping in this company. The dangers are Zhiguli, a dual point-to-point winner last year, and Fix At All.

Despite pulling up in the Becher Chase last time GABORIOT will be hard to beat. Isocrate and Brandy McQueen are next best.

9/2(-35%) | (2) Crystal Connemara 9/2, Promising debut when third beaten 5 1/4l in a Mares' bumper at Newbury debut; off a short-break; effective at 2m on good to soft; improvement likely and looks an obvious player.

Not fluent when second to smart prospect over hurdles; had wind op since; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 +26%)Luna Lux |
10/3(+26%) | (6) Luna Lux 10/3, Bit better than result suggests on debut when third beaten 13l in a 4yo bumper here debut; effective at 2m on soft; improvement expected and she can go well. Favourite when 13l third in a C&D bumper on debut; from a top yard; improvement likely. |

7th (7) (10/1 +64%)Soldi |
10/1(+64%) | (7) Soldi 10/1, £2,500 breeze-up purchase by Capri; dam a point winner, also placed over fences; trainer in form and could have a say on debut. £2,500 yearling by Capri; dam a point winner; quite an interesting newcomer. |

8th (8) (5/1 +9%)True Measure |
5/1(+9%) | (8) True Measure 5/1, 2,000gns Nathaniel filly; half-sister to Sea Battle, a 12f AW and Italian jumps winner; yard respected and isn't ruled out on debut. 2,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; half-sister to 1m4f AW winner; interesting newcomer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ENYA gets a confident vote in the finale. She made a debut full of promise behind a smart prospect at Warwick in November and is entitled to have improved plenty since for a top yard. Crystal Connemara took the bronze medal at Newbury and that form gives her every chance, while it's also worth keeping an eye on Luna Lux.

The choice is ENYA, who was runner-up to a smart prospect in a junior hurdle in October. Crystal Connemara is next best.

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.
