1st (4)  (4/6 +78%)North Of Richmond |
4/6(+78%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) North Of Richmond 4/6, Showed improvement from his debut when second beaten a length in a bumper at Southwell last time; returns from a long layoff and holds an outside chance. Bumper winner; can win over hurdles soon but faces a tough opponent here. |
|
2nd (2)  (5/2 +79%)Codetalker |
5/2(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Codetalker 5/2, Stable took this race last year; made a promising hurdle debut when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; this is his second run after wind surgery; effective at 2m and likely to stay further; should improve with experience. Belied 50-1 odds when a respectable fourth on rules debut; more needed here, though. |
|
3rd (3)  (33/1 +34%)Fox Cottage |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fox Cottage 33/1, Made mistakes and still showed signs of greenness when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m6f at Fontwell last time; wears a hood for the first time; needs to find plenty more. Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for first two hurdle races. |
|
4th (1)  (4/1 +20%)American Empire |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) American Empire 4/1, Travelled well and showed some improvement from his debut when just out-battled by a more experienced rival, finishing second beaten 6 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time; bumper winner effective over 2m on good ground. Placed on both hurdling starts but the form isn't anything to get too excited about. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
STORMING GEORGE impressed when he made a winning debut in a bumper at Doncaster in January. Subsequently pitched into a Grade 2 event at Aintree's Grand National fixture, the Neil King-trained five-year-old showed stacks of potential when finishing a respectable fifth and he looks a decent prospect tackling hurdles for the first time. North Of Richmond is another hurdling debutant to monitor closely in the betting, while American Empire is the pick of the trio with jumps experience.
Fifth in a hot Grade 2 Aintree bumper in April, STORMING GEORGE is a good prospect for novice hurdles this season.

1st (1)  (10/11 +52%)Secret Des Dieux |
10/11(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Secret Des Dieux 10/11, Returned to form when dropped in grade, benefitting from a positive ride at this sharp track. Taken on up front when fourth, beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here last time; the pick on balance of form for a yard that won this last year. Course winner over hurdles when fresh last autumn; respected on chasing debut. |
|
2nd (4)  (4/1 +0%)Pottersjetamay |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pottersjetamay 4/1, Keen early but ran to form when second, beaten 5l in a handicap chase here last time. Lacked the winner's speed late on and may stay a bit further. Gave good account when second of four over C&D in June; back from five-month break. |
|
3rd (2)  (7/2 +30%)Iskar D'airy |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Iskar D'airy 7/2, Needed the run when comfortably held in a 2m2f handicap chase at Kempton last time. Had been in good form prior; effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Form franked and progressive in the spring. Triple chase winner in spring; made low-key return this month; this race is easier. |
|
4th (3)  (3/1 -50%)Belle Montrose |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Belle Montrose 3/1, Travelled well and won comfortably, improving again back over fences when landing a handicap by 10l off 88 here last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and progressive over fences. Won comfortably over C&D 12 days ago and is now 2-3 over fences; obvious contender. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BELLE MONTROSE hardly got out of first gear to land a three-runner mares chase over C&D 12 days ago. With the promise of plenty more to come, the daughter of Milan has a big chance of following up, especially as Benjamin Macey's 7lb claim effectively accounts for the majority of a 9lb rise. The winner of three of his last five starts, Iskar D'airy is feared most dropping in class after a recent return at Kempton. Pottersjetamay has track and trip experience and cannot be ruled out.
Chasing debutant SECRET DES DIEUX runs this track well and might outclass this field if he jumps soundly.

1st (5)  (10/11 +24%)Zahra Dodville |
10/11(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zahra Dodville 10/11, Stable took this race last year; ran to form when beaten 5l in a juvenile hurdle over 2m1f at Clairefontaine last time; effective at 2m and handles ground with some cut; yard excels with new recruits. Placed over hurdles in France; needs to be taken seriously on British debut. |
|
2nd (1)  (6/5 +52%)Manyana Blue |
6/5(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Manyana Blue 6/5, Keen, went clear, made too much use of when second beaten 11l in a juvenile hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time; effective at 2m on good ground; consistent performer. Won at Newton Abbot in August and made the frame on other five hurdling starts; big player. |
|
3rd (2)  (50/1 -100%)Jazz Talking |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jazz Talking 50/1, Made her move too soon and finished down the field in a handicap over 8f at Kempton most recently; has plenty to find. Unplaced all six Flat starts; makes limited appeal on hurdling debut. |
|
4th (4)  (10/1 -233%)Mystical Mabel |
10/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mystical Mabel 10/1, Fell in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton last time; had shown minor promise at 1m on the Flat; stable has a strong record with similar types over hurdles. Running well before jumping erratically and falling at penultimate flight on hurdle debut. |
|
|PU| (3)  (150/1 -355%)Madame Pomone |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Madame Pomone 150/1, Green and made mistakes on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ludlow; has everything to prove at this stage. Well beaten when 40-1 for debut at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MANYANA BLUE broke her duck over hurdles at Newton Abbot in August and did little wrong in filling the runner-up slot behind a couple of promising types in both starts since. The Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole-trained filly sets the standard and could be tough to overhaul. Zahra Dodville showed some promise in her three runs in France and is noteworthy, while Mystical Mabel ran green when she fell at Kempton on her hurdles debut and should be a good deal wiser.
Zahra Dodville is interesting but MANYANA BLUE has a pretty solid record in recent months and is taken to dominate from the front.

1st (3)  (3/1 -100%)Reforme |
3/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Reforme 3/1, Made mistakes but improved when beaten a head off 89 at Huntingdon last time; effective at 3m, handles good ground, and can progress further with cleaner jumping. Went close to breaking his duck latest and had less to prove than most; leading claims.. |
|
2nd (2)  (11/8 +31%)Karavomylos |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Karavomylos 11/8, No obvious excuse when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; on a good mark based on hurdle form and can win when tidying up his jumping. Reverts to fences on a good mark and a major player if back on song after wind surgery.. |
|
3rd (5)  (9/2 +72%)Damekap |
9/2(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Damekap 9/2, Raced wide and ran to form when tiring late on after stepping up in trip on return from a break; comfortably held in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee but remains in the mix. Major turnaround in form is needed on chase debut from 10lb out of the weights.. |
|
4th (1)  (15/2 -36%)Midnight Gold |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Midnight Gold 15/2, Unseated in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Fontwell last time; effective between 2½m and 3m. Out of sorts since back from break and looked held when unseating on chase debut latest. |
|
|U| (4)  (13/2 +0%)Ballygelly |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballygelly 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; looks the pick on race times. Won C&D match in April but pulled up next time and has a bit to prove back from a break.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Despite lacking fluency at Huntingdon most recently, it was a much better performance from REFORME. Tom Gretton's charge went down by a head and although raised 2lb for that effort, a similar display could suffice. Karavomylos has been sent off as favourite on both of his chasing starts to date and recent wind surgery could work the oracle, while Ballygelly appeals most of the remainder.
Reforme needs respecting but KARAVOMYLOS gets the vote in a trappy contest on his return from wind surgery.

1st (2)  (3/1 +0%)Basilette |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Basilette 3/1, Improved when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 90 over 2m3f at Stratford last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/4m on sharp tracks and needs a sound surface; steadily progressing. 4lb higher than for recent Stratford win, but she continues in form and needs respecting.. |
|
2nd (9)  (15/2 +46%)Lusso Milan |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lusso Milan 15/2, A bit free but ran to form when 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Stratford last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and has handled cut in bumpers; inconsistent maiden. Shaped promisingly when third on second start for the stable latest; worth considering.. |
|
3rd (3)  (10/3 +0%)One Million Dreams |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) One Million Dreams 10/3, Scored by a length off 62 over 12f at Brighton on his penultimate start. Ran to form despite being wide when second beaten 1/2l off 66 last time. Flat wins at 1m5f/1m4f; no impact over hurdles but has S Bowen up for yard/handicap debut.. |
|
4th (5)  (25/1 -213%)Alvesta |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alvesta 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 55 over 12f at Leicester last time. Returning from a break and looks the pick on the balance of form. Shown promise over hurdles and could have handicap scope returning from a break.. |
|
5th (6)  (9/1 +44%)Pottersmattyeeehaa |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pottersmattyeeehaa 9/1, Outpaced and had too much to do but ran to form when 12l third on handicap debut in a hurdle at Southwell last time. Returning from a break; may prefer a slightly stiffer test. More likely required if he's to defy this sort of mark based on June's handicap debut.. |
|
|F| (10)  (5/2 +82%)Hello Sweety |
5/2(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hello Sweety 5/2, Keen and needed the run when 16l third in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. This is her second run after a wind operation; effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Not yet fully exposed but needs to build on last month's encouraging Uttoxeter third.. |
|
|PU| (1)  (7/1 +30%)Golden Dove |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Golden Dove 7/1, Made her move too soon and was comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground; inconsistent over short hurdles but could do better based on flat form. More likely required but unexposed but shaped encouragingly on latest hurdle start.. |
|
|PU| (7)  (40/1 -122%)Noble Miss |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Noble Miss 40/1, Pulled her way to the front and did too much too soon when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time. A 2m bumper winner on good ground; needs more hurdling experience and must settle better. Makes handicap debut with her jockey's claim a help, but she has plenty to prove.. |
|
|PU| (8)  (125/1 -150%)Ramaah |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ramaah 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground; yet to show much over hurdles. Pulled up on handicap debut and hard to make a case for back from a break.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BASILETTE had been threatening prior to her recent Stratford triumph and if coping with a drop in trip, it is unlikely that a subsequent 4lb rise will be any barrier to further success. Matt Crawley saddles two, of which Pottersmattyeeehaa could be the main threat, but James Owen often does well with his new recruits and the ex-Irish Keep It Cool warrants plenty of respect.
Keep It Cool and Basilette are feared but a chance is taken on LUSSO MILAN opening her account after a promising run last time.

1st (5)  (3/1 +25%)Fancy Stuff |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fancy Stuff 3/1, A bit free back from a break when fourth, beaten 21l, in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Chepstow last time. Effective over 2½m and the handicapper has relented. Ran well for a long way on this month's return and could build on that back up in trip.. |
|
2nd (4)  (7/2 -17%)Gata Ban |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gata Ban 7/2, Back below her last winning mark when landing a handicap by a neck off 92 over 2m6f at Hereford last time. Returning from a long layoff and looks the pick on overall form. 2m5f hurdle winner who looks capable of better over fences if ready to go after a break.. |
|
3rd (2)  (9/2 +36%)Taxus Baccata |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Taxus Baccata 9/2, Unable to dominate and needed the run when fourth, beaten 31l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective over 2½m on good ground. Not ruled out on March's chase debut win but she's struggled to reach that level since.. |
|
4th (6)  (33/1 -106%)Annie Nail |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Annie Nail 33/1, Did not find much and ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Stratford last time. Effective around 2½m on good ground; inconsistent but her mark is dropping. Easy C&D winner in May, but form has dipped badly since and out of the weights. |
|
5th (1)  (7/2 +13%)Moviddy |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moviddy 7/2, Keen and made mistakes when below form, finishing comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Cheltenham last time. Had been in good form previously and looks the pick on race times. Opened chase account at the 11th attempt; steps back in class and respected on return.. |
|
|F| (3)  (3/1 +0%)Mavis Pike |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mavis Pike 3/1, Outpaced and needed the run on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter last time. Effective over 2m and should come on for the reappearance. Likely sharper for last month's return/chase debut and worth considering upped in trip.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAVIS PIKE appeared to be in need of her first run of the season when making her chase debut at Uttoxeter earlier in the month. The six-year-old, who won over hurdles on this card 12 months ago and again subsequently in January, may benefit from returning to this sharper track, with a step up in trip unlikely to pose any concerns. Gata Ban is lightly raced and open to improvement over fences, while Moviddy appeals most of the remainder.
Perhaps GATA BAN will have more to offer now going over fences and she gets the vote, with the more exposed Moviddy feared most.

18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Itaintmebabe 18/1, Up in trip but failed to get home, well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester last time. Yet to show anything under rules and has all to prove. Yet to make an impact over hurdles and makes handicap debut with a bit to prove.. |
|
2nd (1)  (5/1 -100%)Jackeline |
5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jackeline 5/1, Ran to form when doing best of those held up, beaten 1/2l off a mark of 95 over 2m at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m and could build on that return. Big chance on this month's return but both runs here have resulted in heavy defeats.. |
|
3rd (5)  (11/2 -65%)Green Asset |
11/2(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Green Asset 11/2, Returned to form up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 4l off 93 here last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and may do better if ridden more positively. Not much in it with Dartmouth Rose on recent C&D form and likely to be in the mix. |
|
4th (2)  (1/1 +38%)Dartmouth Rose |
1/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dartmouth Rose 1/1, Ran to form down in trip back from a break when landing a handicap by 2l off 83 here last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m on good ground and steadily progressing. Steps into open company off a 3lb rise for recent C&D win but stlll looks the one to beat.. |
|
5th (4)  (7/2 +50%)Sawpit Sienna |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sawpit Sienna 7/2, Keen and below form when 19l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m here on her latest run. Looks the pick on race times. Running respectably in the spring, but recent evidence suggests this run may be needed.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DARTMOUTH ROSE shed the maiden tag here on her latest start. The five-year-old's course form since being switched to handicap company suggests she is more than capable of backing that performance up off a 3lb higher mark. Green Asset finished fourth beaten just over three lengths in the aforementioned contest and is expected to be competitive once again. Jackeline returned with a solid effort at Chepstow and is another with obvious claims.
The progressive DARTMOUTH ROSE (nap) is taken to follow up her recent C&D win off 3lb higher. Jackeline is feared most.

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.
