12:30 Fakenham (Class 5) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 -157%) Belcamo	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) Belcamo 9/1, Below form when up in class and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster most recently. Effective over 2m on a sound surface but needs to bounce back. Competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +55%) Lord Of The Glance	5 5/1(+55%)	(4) Lord Of The Glance 5/1, Failed to feature from off the pace when tried in a tongue-tie and well beaten in a novice hurdle at Plumpton last time; may improve now switched to handicaps. Handicap newcomer but positives fairly thin on the ground after six starts.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +0%) Path Of Stars	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(5) Path Of Stars 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time after a short break. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on good ground; needs to bounce back. Had a break since her last run which was too bad to be true; may need further.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (13/8 +41%) Lusso Milan	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(3) Lusso Milan 13/8, Ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Southwell on most recent outing. Effective at 2m on good ground and has handled cut in bumpers; appears to be running into form. Has some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (15/8 -7%) Castle Quarter	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(2) Castle Quarter 15/8, Took a step back in the right direction when 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton on latest start. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective around 2m on good to soft and good ground but inconsistent. Placed in a Class 4 last time at Wincanton so a likely contender at this level.

12:30 Fakenham (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Lusso Milan has yet to get her head in front, but it's not for the want of trying and she can make her presence felt. Castle Quarter was far from disgraced at Wincanton on Boxing Day and he could find a little more in the newly-applied tongue-tie, but a chance is taken on LORD OF THE GLANCE. Alex Hales' charge showed precious little in novice events, but his opening mark reflects that and this is only a moderate handicap.

The mare LUSSO MILAN deserves to make the breakthrough and handicaps don't come a lot more winnable than this one.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (15/8 +81%) Apieceovfortune	1.875 15/8(+81%)	(5) Apieceovfortune 15/8, Won by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell two runs back. Had every chance but below form last time, off the same mark here. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on good to soft and good ground; inconsistent but fairly treated on recent win. Catterick was disappointing but a 3m winner the time before and could bounce back.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +43%) Getaway With You	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Getaway With You 4/1, Won by 7 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts ago. Below form dropped in trip last time but 1lb lower here. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; step back up in trip may help. Heavy ground perhaps not ideal on last two starts but now looks high in the weights.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -140%) Lelantos	3 3/1(-140%)	(1) Lelantos 3/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 3m on a sound surface; can go well again. Again below his former best but he still won at Huntingdon; 4lb rise no big deal.
4	4 4th (4) (5/2 +79%) Jack The Savage	2.5 5/2(+79%)	(4) Jack The Savage 5/2, Hung up the hill and below form when fourth, beaten 27l, in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and acts on a sound surface; needs more. Struggling for form when last seen and has been off since early September.

13:00 Fakenham (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Lelantos returned to form with a victory at Huntingdon and given that his only previous visit to this track resulted in a C&D success, there should be optimism of a similar outcome. That being said, CASTANEA BREEZE has few miles on the clock and Lucy Wadham often does well here. The six-year-old made a winning handicap bow before finding one too strong at Wetherby and he's open to plenty more improvement so is fancied to go one place better. Getaway With You can chase the pair home.

Lelantos doesn't look as good as he was despite winning last time and CASTANEA BREEZE (nap) is the one with momentum behind him.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +38%) King Jon Oliver	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) King Jon Oliver 5/2, Ran to a similar level as on debut when second, beaten 6l, in a maiden hurdle at Tipperary last time. Returns from a break and is effective from 2m to 2m4f on good to yielding ground. Has a good chance on debut for his new yard. Placed in both his maiden hurdles when trained in Ireland; bought for £54,000.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/11 +18%) Clay Pigeons	0.363636 4/11(+18%)	(1) Clay Pigeons 4/11, Improved to defy a penalty when winning a bumper at Catterick by 3l last time. The trainer is in form and he is effective from 2m1f to 2m3f on yielding or good to soft ground. Much more to come for top connections now hurdling. Point and dual bumper winner; every chance of making a winning start over hurdles.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -100%) Oneinthewell	20 20/1(-100%)	(5) Oneinthewell 20/1, From the yard that won this last year. Outpaced but ran to form and saw out the longer trip when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good to soft ground and may do better in handicaps. James Owen has yet to find the key to him and he was beaten off a modest mark last time.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -50%) Masked Mistress	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Masked Mistress 12/1, Showed some promise on hurdles debut when third, beaten 4l, in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last time. Usually held up and effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good ground. Improvement looks likely. Dual bumper winner and finished third in a small field on hurdle debut at Plumpton.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -164%) Lawsky	66 66/1(-164%)	(4) Lawsky 66/1, From the yard that won this last year. Moderate debut when fourth, beaten 62l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m4f on soft ground but needs to show significant improvement. Quiet in two bumpers and same again on recent stable/hurdle debut at this venue.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -50%) Kampari	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Kampari 150/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field in the King Edward VII Ascot Membership NH Flat Race (Listed) at Ascot most recently. Effective at around 2m on good ground but has plenty to prove now going hurdling. No closer than 22l in his four bumpers and tailed off in Listed events on last two starts.
7th	6 7th (6) (200/1 -100%) Callmesusie	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Callmesusie 200/1, Refused to race in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective at around 3m in points but is hard to make a case for here. Only 1-14 in points; 100-1 when refusing to race in a Wetherby maiden on Boxing Day.

13:30 Fakenham (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

King Jon Oliver finished a creditable second at Tipperary back in October and looks an interesting recruit for the Olly Murphy yard, but CLAY PIGEONS gets the vote. The six-year-old won a point-to-point before landing a pair of bumpers, the most recent at Catterick, and is likely to appreciate a switch to hurdles. He is Willie Mullins' first ever runner here and is unlikely to go home empty handed. Masked Mistress completes the shortlist.

One of two runners on the card for Willie Mullins, CLAY PIGEONS should be the answer if transferring his bumper form to hurdling.

14:05 Fakenham (Class 3) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (13/2 -63%) Miss Cynthia	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(4) Miss Cynthia 13/2, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton latest; trainer in form; second run after wind op; effective 2m4f, acts on GS; could come on a fair bit. Safely held on seasonal/stable debut but will probably come good for Dan Skelton soon.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 +54%) Looking As You Are	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(3) Looking As You Are 11/2, Had every chance but ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m with cut and generally consistent. Slightly disappointing at Windsor this month but began this season with two good efforts.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 -17%) Apples Moon	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(6) Apples Moon 7/2, Improved again landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Wincanton last time; effective 2m2f-2m4f, acts on S, G; progressive and can go well again. Held on well at Wincanton last mnonth and is now 4-6 in handicaps; respected.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Audacious Annie	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Audacious Annie 5/1, Did too much too soon up in trip, didn't stay beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on G; drop in trip a plus. Aided by cheekpieces when ending 2025 with two good runs; probably won't be far away.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (14/1 +0%) Mermaids Cave	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Mermaids Cave 14/1, Won this last year but was outpaced and outclassed up in grade when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recently. Wears a visor for the first time and is effective from 2m to 2m4f; clearly capable. Won this in 2025 but needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (3/1 +0%) Princess Keri	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) Princess Keri 3/1, Improved again despite jumping lft landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on GS, G; in form, remain competitive. Displayed rapid improvement in November, winning twice (2m/2m5f); up in grade today.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (6/1 +33%) Pretending	6 6/1(+33%)	(2) Pretending 6/1, Well held by less exposed rivals when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Suited by 2m4f on a sound surface and currently in moderate form. Will appreciate this ease in grade but has not really fired on either outing this season.

14:05 Fakenham (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

APPLES MOON was progressive last season and has continued in that vein of form with victories at Exeter and Wincanton. Nicky Martin's mare has a 5lb rise to contend with, but the manner of her performances suggest there could be more in the locker. Fellow hat-trick seeker Princess Keri went up 7lb after scoring at Ludlow in November, although Ned Fox's 5lb claim negates most of that. She has to be respected along with Looking As You Are, who may have found the ground too lively at Windsor.

The suggestion is MISS CYNTHIA, who might have needed last month's seasonal debut and remains open to improvement for her new stable.

Effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground. Inconsistent overall. Won three-runner race here in October but has very mixed record this season.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -9%) Sainte Doctor	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Sainte Doctor 3/1, Ran to form when outpaced and beaten 4 1/4l into third in a handicap chase at Aintree on her latest run. Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and handles a sound surface. Consistent performer. In good form when last seen last spring and has a C&D win on her CV; big player.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +13%) Moviddy	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Moviddy 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft and good ground. Could be better back over fences. Second in this race in 2025 but out of form over fences and hurdles this season..
4	5 4th (5) (9/4 +44%) Overabottleofred	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(5) Overabottleofred 9/4, Benefited from positive tactics and a longer trip when landing a handicap by 21l off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time, though the margin was exaggerated by a late faller. Effective at 3m and handles heavy and good ground. Improving over fences with a fair mark. Absent since Huntingdon win last April but could still have potential over fences.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 +10%) Jacks Touch	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) Jacks Touch 18/1, Built on her reappearance but the race fell apart when second, beaten 21l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Faces a tough task. 0-10 in first half of 2025 and both recent rules runs were underwhelming; revival needed.
6th	7 6th (7) (17/2 +58%) Gata Ban	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(7) Gata Ban 17/2, Below form when tried in cheekpieces and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Needs to find more. Second over C&D in October but well held twice since and 5lb wrong today.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 -18%) It's Easy	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(3) It's Easy 13/2, Won by 40l off a 6lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee on her penultimate start. Went clear and made too much use of last time but is 1lb lower here. Effective at 2m4f and acts on any ground. In good form. Made audacious bid from the front in big-field Cheltenham handicap last month; considered.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +9%) Gazette Bourgeoise	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Gazette Bourgeoise 5/1, Produced her best form since February when winning a handicap by 21l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in good form. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on heavy and good ground. Needs more off this new mark. Wide-margin winner of two-finisher C&D contest last month; went back up 7lb for that.

14:40 Fakenham (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE stepped forward from her return to action at Windsor when running out a 21-length winner over C&D just before Christmas. If in the same sort of form, the 10-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack. Sainte Doctor won here last February before going on to score twice more, and she ran with huge credit off this mark at Cheltenham in April. Overabottleofred and It's Easy appear best of the remainder.

In this series final, the mare with a touch of class about her is SAINTE DOCTOR, who was in good form when last seen last spring.

1	7 1st (7) (9/2 -64%) Little Wren	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Little Wren 9/2, Again ran to a poor level well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby latest; cheekpieces first time; shown little so far for top yard but could do better chasing Safely held in both handicap hurdles but may improve on this chasing debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -100%) As Tears Go By	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) As Tears Go By 10/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 19l, in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m to 2m4½f and acts on any ground. Fairly treated and the longer trip should suit if fit. 0-5 over fences and absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor last March.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +69%) Brother Boris	2.5 5/2(+69%)	(3) Brother Boris 5/2, Outpaced, did not handle track when well beaten in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m-3m, acts on GS, G; inconsistent. Off since disappointing run last April but well handicapped on C&D second in early 2025.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 +0%) Miss Fedora	22 22/1(+0%)	(5) Miss Fedora 22/1, Ran poorly tried in cheekpieces when well beaten in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time.

5th	2 5th (2) (5/2 +0%) Flash In The Park	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Flash In The Park 5/2, Returned to form after a reappearance, landing a handicap by 2¼l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles soft or good ground. Remains well treated on old form and could follow up. Scored at Southwell last month; still on workable mark if in right mood again.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 -80%) Annie Nail	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) Annie Nail 9/1, May have won but for late error when beaten 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m acts on S, G; course winner, just 1lb above last winning mark, unexposed as a stayer and could build on recent revival. Very inconsistent, but won over C&D last May and was second over hurdles here last month.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (5/1 +50%) Crac De Megaudais	5 5/1(+50%)	(4) Crac De Megaudais 5/1, Every chance, below form when fourth beaten 65l in a handicap chase at Plumpton latest; effective at around 2m4f, suited by sound surface; course winner over hurdles, yet to build on promising chase debut. Course winner over hurdles; no surprise if he bounces back to form today.

15:10 Fakenham (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Having capitalised on a career-low mark at Southwell, it could be worth keeping FLASH IN THE PARK on side. The eight-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is surmountable and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Little Wren has been disappointing since entering handicap company, but she might find some improvement now debuting over fences. Dan Skelton's mare is feared most, ahead of the returning As Tears Go By.

The answer might be CRAC DE MEGAUDAIS, who was a wide-margin hurdle winner on his only previous visit to Fakenham.

No match for the winner on debut at Uttoxeter but with a leading yard & likely to improve.

Point winner who can improve for his bumper debut in November; strong claims.

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

Representing Willie Mullins, LULTIMATOM is likely to prove a warm order as part of the Irish maestro's first raiding party at this venue. The five-year-old was a ready winner between the flags and finished a respectable fifth in a deeper bumper at Fairyhouse in November, so any improvement should make him tough to beat. Current Edition wasn't disgraced on his Rules bow at Warwick and may give the selection more to think about than Eastern Fire.

Impressive point winner LULTIMATOM is open to improvement on his second bumper start and gets the nod for Willie and Patrick Mullins.

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.
