1	6 1st (6) (7/1 +13%) Marble Sands		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Marble Sands 7/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off 76 over 2m at Goodwood last time. Effective at around 2m4f, acts on good to soft ground, though stamina remains to be proven. Newcastle third last November showed he stays 2m7f; far more for him to prove at this trip.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 +64%) Fascile Mode		8 8/1(+64%)																															(8) Fascile Mode 8/1, Never competitive due to several errors when well beaten in a handicap chase over 3m1f here latest. In good form prior, effective from 2m to 2m4f with good ground key; remains in fair form. Jumping here last time was not fluent enough; stamina to prove and 6lb out of the handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +14%) Protektorat		3 3/1(+14%)																															(1) Protektorat 3/1, Winner of three G1s; ran to best when second beaten 3 1/4l in Melling Chase (Grade 1) over 2m4f at Aintree latest; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts well on S; consistent. Each-way player despite all his races since March 2024 having been at about 2m4f or 2m6f.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 -63%) Beauport		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(3) Beauport 13/2, Keen, stiff mark when down the field in Grand National over 4m2f at Aintree most recent; effective 3m-3m5f, acts on Hy, G; chance with conditions to suit. No stamina or ground worries and hacked up first time out last term; this track is a worry.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +0%) Tanganyika		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(7) Tanganyika 7/2, Improved again when up in trip beaten a length off 134 over 4m2f at Uttoxeter last time; stays well, acts on S, GS; progressive. Midlands National 2nd; heavy ground no problem; assuming he returns on song, lots to like.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -60%) Sam Brown		16 16/1(-60%)																															(2) Sam Brown 16/1, Below form when comfortably held by less exposed rivals in the William Hill Handicap Chase over 3m1f at Aintree last time. Stays 3m2f, acts well on soft ground and has a chance if ready to roll. Less consistent last term; not dismissed despite others having mostly much younger legs.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 -22%) Latenightpass		22 22/1(-22%)																															(5) Latenightpass 22/1, Below form when down the field off a stiff mark in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Aintree most recently. Effective up to 3m5f, acts on soft and good ground, and has a chance if ready to roll. Goes well on the 3m5f Cross-Country course here; has had a wind operation (his third).
8th	10 8th (10) (13/2 +46%) Transmission		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Transmission 13/2, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap chase over 3m1f here most recently. The further the better, suited by good to soft or good ground, and considered. Has proved himself here but position 9lb out of the handicap makes this a stiff task.
4	4 |PU| (4) (18/1 -50%) Nassalam		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Nassalam 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m1f here last time. Suited by marathon trips with plenty of give, effective up to 3m5f and acts well on soft ground but has all to prove. Huge turnaround is needed; return to mud and blinkers (from cheekpieces) are the big hopes.
9	9 |PU| (9) (22/1 -57%) Lady Balko		22 22/1(-57%)																															(9) Lady Balko 22/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground and outclassed when fourth, beaten 15l, in the Mares' Chase (Listed) over 3m at Exeter last time. Effective up to 3m2f, acts on good to soft ground and may need this run. 6yo; could still have potential but she's 7lb out of the handicap; 5lb claimer is on board.

14:55 Cheltenham (Class 1) 27f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Ground conditions could get quite testing and, with that in mind, preference is for TANGANYIKA. Venetia Williams' gelding made great strides over fences in the spring, winning at Market Rasen at Carlisle before posting an excellent second in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter. He returns to action off 6lb higher but, having already won three times on heavy ground, he may well resume his progress. Classy operator Protektorat merits the utmost respect off top-weight, as does Marble Sands, who has a fitness edge after a spin on the Flat last month. Veteran Sam Brown is also noted.

All have some sort of question to answer but TANGANYIKA (nap) is a confident selection assuming that he's in a good state of fitness.

1	10 1st (10) (10/3 +56%) Alexei		3.333333 10/3(+56%)																															(10) Alexei 10/3, Bit free but did it readily and improved again when landing the Lavazza Handicap Hurdle by 3l off 127 at Ascot last time; effective at 2m, suited by quick ground; progressive. Clearcut success at Ascot last time, taking hurdles record to 3-6; may progress further.
2	15 2nd (15) (14/1 +0%) Helnwein		14 14/1(+0%)																															(15) Helnwein 14/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race; travelled well, solid effort and given a bit much to do when beaten 4l off 128 at Haydock last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft; has a chance. Ran creditably in major spring handicap but is more exposed than stablemate Castle Carrock.
3	9 3rd (9) (40/1 +0%) Faivoir		40 40/1(+0%)																															(9) Faivoir 40/1, Never put into the race and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Carlisle last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; well treated on old form if retaining ability.

4	17 4th (17) (28/1 +30%) Welsh Charger		28 28/1(+30%)																															(17) Welsh Charger 28/1, Below form, handicapper may be catching up when down the field in the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock most recently; in good form prior; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; up against it. Suffered a heavy defeat on last appearance and current mark leaves him with tough task.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +0%) Fiercely Proud		16 16/1(+0%)																															(8) Fiercely Proud 16/1, Below form when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft; needs to return to best. Bagged a notable prize last December but form dipped markedly in two subsequent runs.
6th	12 6th (12) (22/1 -10%) Putapoundinthejar		22 22/1(-10%)																															(12) Putapoundinthejar 22/1, Shaped with promise when beaten 9l in a handicap over 10f at the Curragh last time; usually held up; effective at 2m, acts on yielding and good; relatively unexposed but mark looks high enough over hurdles. Sole attempt under Sean Bowen resulted in success at the Punchestown festival.
7th	14 7th (14) (22/1 +0%) Dedicated Hero		22 22/1(+0%)																															(14) Dedicated Hero 22/1, Needed the run on handicap debut when beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Carlisle last time; effective at 2-3m; Grade 2 win looks weak enough. Has form figures of 31111 at about 2m but registered the last win in substandard Grade 2.
8th	16 8th (16) (7/2 +30%) Mirabad		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(16) Mirabad 7/2, Yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race; keen and made too much use of before finishing down the field in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) at Newbury most recently; in good form prior; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft; more to come. Record of 3-8 for previous yard featured a Cheltenham win; could do well for the Skeltons.
9th	4 9th (4) (15/2 +25%) Iberico Lord		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(4) Iberico Lord 15/2, Below form with mistakes, possibly something amiss when down the field in the Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Listed) over 2m1f at Punchestown most recently; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; needs more, 13lb higher than when winning in 2023. Successful in this race two years ago; possibilities if bouncing back to form.
10th	11 10th (11) (7/1 +22%) Castle Carrock		7 7/1(+22%)																															(11) Castle Carrock 7/1, Too keen, improved albeit comfortably held in Turners Mersey Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m4f at Aintree last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S, G; more to come. Not disgraced in Aintree Grade 1 when last seen; may do better still; interesting.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 -100%) Gibbs Island		18 18/1(-100%)																															(2) Gibbs Island 18/1, Travelled well and improved down in grade on handicap debut when landing a Four Years Old Handicap Hurdle by 5 1/2l off 132 at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; highly tried as a juvenile, improving. Defied top weight in 4yo handicap at Chepstow on seasonal debut; may improve further.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 -106%) Laafi		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Laafi 33/1, Improved from debut but was outclassed by the principals when third in the Limestone Lad Hurdle (Grade 3) at Naas last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft; may need this. Sole attempt in blinkers resulted in useful Flat win; third race over hurdles.
13th	3 13th (3) (33/1 -50%) Cracking Rhapsody		33 33/1(-50%)																															(3) Cracking Rhapsody 33/1, Appreciated the stiff test at the trip and improved down in grade when landing the Scottish Champion Hurdle (Grade 2) by a neck off 137 at Ayr last time; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft; progressive. Made hay in Scotland in the spring; well beaten off 10lb lower in this race last year.
14th	18 14th (18) (18/1 +28%) Rubber Ball		18 18/1(+28%)																															(18) Rubber Ball 18/1, Below form up in grade when down the field in the Top Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Aintree most recently; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; more to come. Second-season hurdler who may still have more to offer; not dismissed on handicap debut.
15th	7 15th (7) (50/1 -79%) No Ordinary Joe		50 50/1(-79%)																															(7) No Ordinary Joe 50/1, Outpaced and needed the run on stable debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter most recently; veteran is best at 2m4f, acts on soft; up against it. Third in this contest in 2021; beat only one rival at Uttoxeter on stable/seasonal debut.
19	19 |PU| (19) (13/2 +7%) Serious Challenge		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(19) Serious Challenge 13/2, Ran to form, just tiring late on up in trip back from a break when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Aintree last time; effective at 2m-2m2f, acts on any ground; consistent. Second-season hurdler whose useful Irish Flat form suggests he should rate higher still.
20	20 |PU| (20) (20/1 -11%) King William Rufus		20 20/1(-11%)																															(20) King William Rufus 20/1, Ran to form, just tiring late on back from a break when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good; admirably consistent. Ran creditably over C&D on reappearance; back up in grade but gets weight all round.
13	13 |PU| (13) (80/1 -142%) Fiveonefive		80 80/1(-142%)																															(13) Fiveonefive 80/1, Ran to form, just tiring late on up the hill when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here last time; usually held up; effective at 2m; stiff mark.

15:30 Cheltenham (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Useful in the novice ranks last term, CELTIC DINO made an excellent start to the new campaign when defeating Alexei (second) in the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Chepstow last month. The latter has since won in commanding fashion at Ascot but Sam Thomas' gelding can confirm his superiority. Ground conditions would be an unknown should they become extremely soft, but the son of Doctor Dino is clearly on the up and could have more to offer. This is competitive, though, and there ought to be a host of challengers. Serious Challenge made a pleasing seasonal return at Aintree three weeks ago and is noted along with Gibbs Island. Iberico Lord lost his way following a fall at Ascot last season but he won this in 2023.

The vote goes to SERIOUS CHALLENGE, who should do better still under this code. Castle Carrock is second pick.

1	12 1st (12) (12/1 +14%) Saint Clovis		12 12/1(+14%)																															(12) Saint Clovis 12/1, Confirmed debut promise tried in a hood when second beaten 2l in a 4yo bumper at Listowel latest; off a short break; effective at 2m on good to yielding; should continue to progress. Placed in big fields in Ireland on his two starts and holds each-way claims once more.
2	14 2nd (14) (13/2 +24%) Sinchi Roca		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(14) Sinchi Roca 13/2, Travelled well and made a promising debut when second beaten 1/2l in a bumper at Chepstow; effective at 2m on good ground; needs more to win this. Won at Taunton on debut and a close, clear second at Chepstow; might not be far away.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/8 +21%) Bud Fox		1.375 11/8(+21%)																															(2) Bud Fox 11/8, Didn't get a clear run but looked a bright prospect when winning a 4yo bumper at Punchestown over 2m1f by 4 1/4l last time; effective at 2m on good to yielding; looks smart. Won big-field bumper at the Punchestown festival and that form reads well; leading claims.
4	1 4th (1) (80/1 +36%) A Likeable Rogue		80 80/1(+36%)																															(1) A Likeable Rogue 80/1, €5,000 Kingston Hill gelding; half-brother to Cray, fair at 2m4f; faces a stiff task on debut. 5,000euros 3yo; thrown in at the deep end on this debut and he's probably best watched.
5th	15 5th (15) (14/1 +22%) The Mad Poet		14 14/1(+22%)																															(15) The Mad Poet 14/1, Yard won this last year; promising debut when runner-up beaten 8l in a bumper at Wetherby on only start; effective at 2m on good ground; more expected from this stable. Hard to fancy on debut evidence but from top yard and could take a big step forward.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/2 +69%) Chicker		2.5 5/2(+69%)																															(3) Chicker 5/2, Did it readily and improved when winning a bumper here by 2l last time; effective at 2m on good ground; debut form strongly franked and looks potentially classy. Made it 2-2 when defying penalty over C&D three weeks ago and has to be in calculations.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -82%) Onlyforfrankie		20 20/1(-82%)																															(11) Onlyforfrankie 20/1, Improved on debut when winning a bumper at Roscommon by 6 1/2l last time; effective at 2m on good to yielding; capable of further progress. Impressive at Roscommon in September and respected on this stable debut.
8th	16 8th (16) (18/1 +18%) Wonder Flying		18 18/1(+18%)																															(16) Wonder Flying 18/1, Outpaced but promising debut when beaten 6 1/4l in a bumper here on debut; effective at 2m on good ground; may stay further in time. Tough introduction over C&D last month but promise in fifth; not ruled out each-way.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +0%) Makingplansfor		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Makingplansfor 50/1, Promising debut when runner-up beaten 2l in a 2m1f maiden bumper at Newton Abbot on only start; effective at 2m on good to soft; more required in this company. 40-1 runner-up on recent debut at Newton Abbot but others have achieved considerably more.
10th	8 10th (8) (200/1 -100%) Lion City		200 200/1(-100%)																															(8) Lion City 200/1, Still green but showed good attitude to rally when winning a bumper at Sedgefield over 2m1f by a neck last time; effective at 2m1f on good ground; faces stronger opposition here. Narrowly won Sedgefield bumper in September 2024 but absent since and improvement needed.
11th	4 11th (4) (9/1 +59%) Eclat De Marvel		9 9/1(+59%)																															(4) Eclat De Marvel 9/1, Promising debut when runner-up beaten a length in a 3m maiden at Ballycrystal on only start; yard in form and respected. Point runner-up; sold for £100,000; tough task on bumper debut but could give good account.
12th	6 12th (6) (14/1 0%) Hawk's Rock		14 14/1(0%)																															(6) Hawk's Rock 14/1, Improved on debut when second beaten 2 1/2l in a 2m2f bumper at Galway latest; returning from a break; effective at 2m on good ground; faces a tougher task now. Runner-up at the Galway festival and every chance he'll be in the mix on his stable debut.
13th	7 13th (7) (250/1 -67%) Kampari		250 250/1(-67%)																															(7) Kampari 250/1, Improved on a modest debut but was comfortably held in a maiden bumper at Worcester last time; effective at 2m on good ground; has plenty to prove. Down the field at 100-1 then 50-1 on his two starts; he would be a shock winner.

16:00 Cheltenham (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

An impressive winner at Worcester on debut before following up over C&D under a penalty, Chicker looks a nice type and should have plenty more to offer. That said, preference is for BUD FOX. The Irish raider won between the flags before being picked up by Gavin Cromwell, and he made an immediate impression for that stable when he landed a bumper at the Punchestown Festival in fine style. That form has been well advertised since and he's one to follow this season. The Mad Poet is also noted.

Having won a warm race in good style on his bumper debut at Punchestown in April, BUD FOX can maintain his unbeaten record.

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.
