1	8 1st (8) (10/11 +39%) Jasmin De Grugy		0.909091 10/11(+39%)																															(8) Jasmin De Grugy 10/11, No show in maiden/novice company but took a big step forward when pulling well clear of the rest with the fast-improving winner Plaisir Des Flos (successful twice again since) at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) last time. Remains on a potentially very handy mark despite going up 8 lb. Went close on handicap debut (front pair well clear) and might still be well treated.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +44%) Crossbeau		10 10/1(+44%)																															(5) Crossbeau 10/1, Much improved since sent handicapping and had race in the bag when unseating rider late at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) in January. Hasn't managed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, though, and others make more appeal. Unlucky not to win off this mark in January but two lesser efforts have followed.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -10%) Everyonesacritic		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) Everyonesacritic 11/1, Left the form of his 3 qualifying runs well behind when making a successful handicap debut with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in February. However, he has failed to reproduce that form in 2 subsequent starts and others make more appeal for win purposes. Won on handicap debut in February; beaten about 14l when fourth twice since; more needed.
4	3 4th (3) (16/5 +4%) Shillanavogy		3.2 16/5(+4%)																															(3) Shillanavogy 16/5, Failed to measure up to market expectations on handicap debut at Wetherby in January but got it together following a break/wind op when scoring in good style at Hereford (19.7f, soft) last month. 8 lb rise tolerable and he probably has more to offer. Won comfortably at Hereford last month (first run after wind op) and can improve again.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 -10%) Richardson		22 22/1(-10%)																															(11) Richardson 22/1, Sole success to date was gained back in 2020 but he has finished in the money on several occasions since, including when third of 7 at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) back from a break in March. Place possibilities. In the frame on all four outings last season but would appeal more on slow ground.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +50%) Senor Diaz		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) Senor Diaz 10/1, Stuck to his task when runner-up at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in January and, though well beaten next time, he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 upped to this trip on handicap debut at Plumpton. Now 5 lb lower and he's a live each-way candidate. Just a respectable fourth on handicap debut but subsequent 5lb drop helps.
1	1 |PU| (1) (14/1 -75%) Twyford's Diamond		14 14/1(-75%)																															(1) Twyford's Diamond 14/1, Showed little in a brace of bumpers but better signs over hurdles, finding just one too good in a mares' novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) last time. On what appeals as a fair mark for this handicap debut but improvement is certainly needed. 0-5 over hurdles but ran well in defeat in Ludlow novice last month; handicap debut today.
7	7 |PU| (7) (50/1 +0%) Go On Ya Goodthing		50 50/1(+0%)																															(7) Go On Ya Goodthing 50/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good to soft) when last seen in November. Had shown ability prior to that but not enough to suggest that he'll be good enough to take this. Absent since pulled up on handicap debut in November; not the obvious answer.
9	9 |PU| (9) (66/1 +0%) Beau Haze		66 66/1(+0%)																															(9) Beau Haze 66/1, Dual winner here in 2021 but this veteran hasn't cut much ice in 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence. Four-time winner over hurdles; yet to find form since returning from long layoff in March.

14:55 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A wind operation seemed to have revitalised SHILLANAVOGY when he won at Hereford in April and the six-year-old can kick on from competitive mark on just his third start in a handicap. Twyford's Diamond doesn't have much to find to win a race of this nature and can give the selection the most to think about if she handles the step back up in trip. Everyonesacritic and Crossbeau are others fancied to be on the premises in this company.

The one who stands out is the unexposed JASMIN DE GRUGY, who was narrowly outpointed by a rapid improver on his handicap bow at Wincanton where he pulled miles clear of the rest. An 8 lb rise is easy to swallow both on account of the strength of that Wincanton form (the winner has gone in twice again since) and the potential he possesses. Shillanavogy opened his account on his first run following a wind op at Hereford and he rates the main danger ahead of Senor Diaz and Richardson.

One of two to sprint a long way clear of the others when going close on his handicap debut at Wincanton, JASMIN DE GRUGY gets the nod.

1	6 1st (6) (7/2 -40%) Ionity		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(6) Ionity 7/2, Switch to handicap company brought about immediate improvement at Hereford (19.7f, soft) where he chased home Shillanavogy last month. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's in with an each-way shout. Low-mileage 5yo who displayed improvement when second of ten on recent handicap debut.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 +55%) Triple Nickle		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(10) Triple Nickle 9/2, Just one win from 15 starts over hurdles and she looks vulnerable once more on the back of a below-par recent effort on the Flat. No match for easy winner when second in modest selling handicap in February.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -100%) Rocky Hill		4 4/1(-100%)																															(5) Rocky Hill 4/1, Sprung a 33/1 surprise on Kelso bumper debut for Ewan Whillans in April 2022. Left qualifying runs well behind when second on handicap bow at Hereford (19.7f, soft) in March and while his jumping went to pot over the same C&D next time, he will be a big player granted a clean round here. Good second on handicap debut in March; fell last month but remains of strong interest.
4	9 4th (9) (6/1 +76%) Karakoram		6 6/1(+76%)																															(9) Karakoram 6/1, Pretty much downhill all the way since he last got his head in front at Taunton in March 2023 and others make more appeal. Five-time hurdle winner; on very good mark now but has been out of form this year.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 +39%) Camino Rocio		20 20/1(+39%)																															(4) Camino Rocio 20/1, Milan gelding who offered something to work on when fifth on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe last spring. Well held in pair of starts on these shores for Gary Brown thereafter and was again down the field on handicap debut for new yard at Stratford. Now tried in cheekpieces. Beaten about 24l when 66-1 for recent stable/handicap debut; cheekpieces now added.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +0%) Parliament		12 12/1(+0%)																															(8) Parliament 12/1, Fair winner on the Flat in France in 2022 and while he hasn't troubled the judge in 3 starts over hurdles to date, this 6-y-o is one to monitor in the betting now pitched into a handicap. Soundly beaten in three slow-ground novice/maiden hurdles; may fare better in handicaps.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 +0%) Totowolfe		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Totowolfe 10/1, Winning Irish pointer finished no better than mid-division in maiden/novice hurdles and failed to improve for the step up in trip when eighth of 13 on handicap debut at Ascot (23.5f, good) in March. Cheekpieces added. Not disgraced in better race than this on handicap debut at Ascot; remains unexposed.
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 +58%) Buck Of Maine		14 14/1(+58%)																															(7) Buck Of Maine 14/1, From a good French family and reached the frame in both bumpers last year. However, little to shout about over hurdles so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Pulled up when 33-1 for recent handicap debut; not the most obvious answer here.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -133%) Secret Sauce		28 28/1(-133%)																															(3) Secret Sauce 28/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since and was nearer last than first on recent handicap debut at Stratford. Safely held over 2m2f at Stratford on recent handicap hurdle debut; new trip today.
10th	1 10th (1) (8/1 -100%) Walkinthewoods		8 8/1(-100%)																															(1) Walkinthewoods 8/1, Successful over C&D 12 months ago and runner-up on several occasions since, both in this sphere and over fences. He is proving expensive to follow, though, and needs to bounce back following a lifeless run back hurdling here 15 days ago. Yard also saddles Ionity. Won a division of this race a year ago but suffered worrying dip in form last month.

15:25 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A bold showing from Shillanavogy in the previous race would significantly bolster the worth of IONITY'S second-placed finish to that rival at Hereford last month and, off just 2lb higher, this could be a good time to catch the Evan Williams-trained five-year-old. Rocky Hill was in touch with the leaders when he fell in that race and can go close if his jumping holds together this time. Walkinthewoods has C&D experience and cannot be ruled out at this level.

ROCKY HILL's jumping let him down at Hereford last time but he is worth another chance on the strength of his improved handicap debut second at the same course in March. Ionity is next on the list ahead of handicap debutant Parliament.

Class-dropper TOTOWOLFE didn't run badly over 2m7f at Ascot in March and is fitted with cheekpieces for this drop back in trip.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +71%) Shiroccosmagicbaby		3.5 7/2(+71%)																															(8) Shiroccosmagicbaby 7/2, Winning Irish pointer. Very lightly raced under Rules and shaped with plenty of encouragement tried tongue tied for her debut over fences after 4 months off here (19.4f) in March. Failed to build on that next time though ground might have been too quick. Third over 2m3f here on chasing debut but never involved when upped to 3m last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +60%) Hamartia		4 4/1(+60%)																															(2) Hamartia 4/1, Placed twice in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Colm Murphy and respectable start over fences for current yard. Not taken lightly. Not beaten far in two small-field chases towards end of last season still unexposed at 3m.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +0%) Jessie Lightfoot		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) Jessie Lightfoot 4/1, As good as ever when scoring at Taunton 2 weeks ago, her first run back with her former stable. Not an obvious type to follow up, however. Finished with a rattle to score at Taunton last month and now 3-9 over fences; shortlisted.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +70%) Honey I'm Good		10 10/1(+70%)																															(5) Honey I'm Good 10/1, Notched 3 chase wins last spring/summer but form has nosedived since. Won three chases last year but seems to have lost her way since the autumn.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -211%) Cotton End		28 28/1(-211%)																															(4) Cotton End 28/1, Losing run is mounting up but ran creditably by recent standards when third at Worcester. Stiff task there since but has an absence to overcome and stamina is unproven over this far. Returns from break on good mark but has stamina to prove; best on genuine good ground.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 -29%) Ask Lileen		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(3) Ask Lileen 9/2, Winning pointer who's yet to build on hurdle debut fourth, running poorly on handicap bow last time. Should make a chaser at least. Struggled on handicap hurdle debut but this point winner might still do well over fences.
7	7 |PU| (7) (4/1 +0%) Santa Clarita		4 4/1(+0%)																															(7) Santa Clarita 4/1, Yet to score for this yard but 2 decent runner-up efforts over this C&D in recent months so she's respected back up in trip. 0-9 over fences and not consistent but second twice over 2m3f here this year.

16:00 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

JESSIE LIGHTFOOT returned to winning ways over 3m2f at Taunton a couple of weeks ago and Henry Oliver's mare merits the utmost respect off just a 4lb higher mark here. Santa Clarita hit the crossbar at this venue last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Ask Lileen and Hamartia are others who make the shortlist.

LOVE ACTUALLY was surrounded by subsequent winners at Taunton in February so makes plenty of appeal down in class. Santa Clarita's 2 best efforts last season came here so is next best ahead of recent Taunton winner Jessie Lightfoot.

Fourth in a much stronger race than this on her latest outing, LOVE ACTUALLY (nap) can capitalise upon her favourable mark.

1	4 1st (4) (50/1 -100%) Can't Say		50 50/1(-100%)																															(4) Can't Say 50/1, Pulled up in a point and little impact over hurdles so far, never involved on recent handicap debut at Exeter (18.5f). Upped markedly in trip. Well-held seventh over 2m2f on recent handicap debut; moves up in trip here.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +45%) Face D'music		11 11/1(+45%)																															(1) Face D'music 11/1, £100,000 purchase having been placed only start in Irish points and did well when second in a pair of 2m4f Hereford novice hurdles in November. Bit disappointing since however, including in handicap again a fortnight ago. Stamina doubts. Second twice over 2m3f in the autumn but not in same form since returning from a break.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 -20%) Blackacre		4 4/1(-20%)																															(8) Blackacre 4/1, Maiden hurdler with a mixed record in this sphere to date but he did fare better than previously when second in 5-runner Fontwell handicap (25.8f) under today's rider 7 weeks ago, making his effort from further back than ideal. That gives him something to build on here. Kept on quite strongly for second at Fontwell in March, suggesting his turn might be near.
4	9 4th (9) (7/2 +30%) Bridget Mary		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(9) Bridget Mary 7/2, £75,000 buy after winning a point. Better effort second run in handicaps when not beaten far at Ludlow (21.3f) a fortnight ago with more positive tactics back in use after 9 weeks off. One to consider. Close fourth over 2m5f at Ludlow recently; may yet do better back over 3m.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 +19%) Hold Your Fort		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(10) Hold Your Fort 13/2, Showed little in four hurdling starts in September/October 2022 but has won 3 of last 4 starts in points (latest Jun 2023). Worth a look on handicap debut for new trainer. Dual point winner last spring; looks interesting off lowly mark on handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +33%) Optimistic Joe		4 4/1(+33%)																															(5) Optimistic Joe 4/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing third in a point last March and stepped up on low-key efforts in maiden company when fourth on his handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft). Could build on that up in trip. Kept on for fourth over 2m4f on handicap debut, and promises to be suited by 3m.
7th	6 7th (6) (22/1 -238%) Nordic Storm		22 22/1(-238%)																															(6) Nordic Storm 22/1, Bits of promise over hurdles but ran no sort of race switched to handicap company after 10 weeks off at Taunton (well backed), the step up to this trip not a factor. Bit to prove off same mark. Flopped when upped to 3m for handicap debut but can't be written off just yet.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +14%) Damask		12 12/1(+14%)																															(11) Damask 12/1, Poor maiden handicap hurdler, well beaten at Hereford 6 weeks ago. Up in trip. 0-12 over hurdles; good third at Hereford two starts ago but effectively 6lb higher here.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/1 -60%) Ca Plane Pour Moi		16 16/1(-60%)																															(2) Ca Plane Pour Moi 16/1, Had been shaping up quite well for Colm Murphy, but has run no sort of race in handicaps twice for new yard. Back from a break now. Ex-Irish maiden; struggled and was pulled up on first two stable starts.
7	7 |PU| (7) (13/2 +68%) Inebranlable		6.5 13/2(+68%)																															(7) Inebranlable 13/2, Modest form only when held in fourth in 2m maiden hurdle here in December. Well beaten in handicaps the last twice. Steps up markedly in trip. Well down the field in first two handicaps (2m/2m3f) and not bred for this trip.

16:30 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

NATIVE MOON displayed promise in novice/maiden hurdles and it would be no surprise to see the six-year-old make a winning handicap debut off what appears to be a workable opening mark. Blackacre is an obvious threat to the selection after his second over 3m2f at Fontwell last time, while Bridget Mary edges out Optimistic Joe and Face D'music to be best of the rest.

A few already in danger of becoming disappointing but BLACKACRE offered a bit more at least when second at Fontwell 7 weeks ago and could be worth chancing ahead of Bridget Mary and Native Moon.

There is good evidence to suggest OPTIMISTIC JOE will benefit from today's step up to 3m, and he gets the vote.

1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +44%) Boston Joe		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Boston Joe 9/2, Back from lengthy absence when scoring over fences at Wincanton in October. Below form thereafter but a recent spin over hurdles here ought to have put him spot on ahead of this return to chasing but he does need to keep the errors at bay. Very well handicapped on autumn chase form and recent hurdle run was satisfactory.
2	2 2nd (2) (33/1 -175%) Fire Dancer		33 33/1(-175%)																															(2) Fire Dancer 33/1, Made a winning start for this yard on the back of a lengthy absence at Ludlow in January 2023 but has looked one with problems since, again running well below form at Taunton (2m) 26 days ago. Passed over despite easing mark. Ran well in defeat two starts ago but has very mixed record in Britain; hard to predict.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 -10%) Limetree Boy		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(7) Limetree Boy 11/2, Winning hurdler who left the firm impression he'd have gone close to breaking his duck in this sphere under a more positive ride when fourth at Taunton (2m, soft) 26 days ago, finishing with a flourish from 2 out. Worth bearing in mind on the back of that. Aided by cheekpieces when making the frame in two chases towards end of last season.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -25%) Western General		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Western General 5/1, Hurdles winner who has the background of a better chaser and fared much better than previously in this sphere (in a tongue tie) when second of 11 in handicap at Taunton (2m) 26 days ago, his jumping arguably costing him. Respected for all he needs to keep the errors at bay. Went very close at Taunton last month, where awkward jump at final fence proved costly.
5th	11 5th (11) (16/1 +20%) Man Of Light		16 16/1(+20%)																															(11) Man Of Light 16/1, Modest winner at 17f over hurdles but suffered a heavy fall on chase debut at Taunton in March and no real encouragement to glean from his latest run when sixth of 11 in handicap at Exeter 917.5f) 18 days ago. Just a respectable sixth at Exeter last month but on a very tempting mark now.
6th	12 6th (12) (18/1 +28%) Tribesmans Glory		18 18/1(+28%)																															(12) Tribesmans Glory 18/1, Fair winning chaser here for Tom George in 2020 and ran one of his better races in recent seasons back over fences when finishing a well-beaten second at Bangor (17.4f, heavy) in March. However, couldn't land a blow when sixth at Taunton (2m) since. Work to do from out of the weights. Regressive and inconsistent 10yo who has not won since 2020; 3lb wrong; others preferred.
9	9 |F| (9) (40/1 -186%) Henry Box Brown		40 40/1(-186%)																															(9) Henry Box Brown 40/1, Opened his account over hurdles in December 2022 but hasn't replicated that level of form since, including when well held on C&D chase debut 12 months ago. Absent since finishing down the field over hurdles at Stratford in November and percentage call to look elsewhere. Struggled in this race on chase debut last year; also out of form over hurdles in autumn.
6	6 |F| (6) (66/1 -450%) Shareef Star		66 66/1(-450%)																															(6) Shareef Star 66/1, In good form in handicap chases in July 2022, winning twice and easy to back, almost certainly needed the run on back of 19 months off when pulled up over hurdles at Ffos Las (15.8f) in March. This should reveal more. Dual chase winner in 2022; struggled on heavy ground in March; can fare better today.
4	4 |PU| (4) (2/1 -6%) Bullets Hill		2 2/1(-6%)																															(4) Bullets Hill 2/1, Dual bumper winner who has took his form up a level in handicap hurdles of late, decisively coring at Exeter/Ffos Las at up to 18.5f. Of interest now attentions switch to larger obstacles in hat-trick bid. Dual hurdle winner last month and open to further progress now switched to fences.
10	10 |PU| (10) (7/1 +56%) Hooky Street		7 7/1(+56%)																															(10) Hooky Street 7/1, Maiden who ran to a similar level as on chase debut when third in first-time blinkers at Exeter (17.5f) 18 days ago. Each-way claims with a repeat. Began chasing career with two decent efforts in headgear last month; enters calculations.
5	5 |PU| (5) (25/1 -127%) Fulgurix		25 25/1(-127%)																															(5) Fulgurix 25/1, Signed off last season with a game success under testing conditions at Chepstow. However, he needs to get back on track having run well below his best in trio of starts so far this year. Blinkers need to have positive effect now. Out of form this year and needs to respond well to addition of blinkers.

17:05 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Shareef Star had some good form over fences in 2022 and although pulled up here over hurdles after a 578-day layoff, he is one to consider with that race under his belt. Hooky Street could also go well with Harriet Dickin's horses running to form, but the vote goes to BULLETS HILL. The winner of his last two starts over hurdles, he is bred to be just as good or better over fences and could surprise them all.

LIMETREE BOY left the firm impression he'd havefgone close under a more positive ride when fourth at Taunton 26 days ago, finishing with a flourish from 2 out. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with Bullets Hill, who has been thriving over hurdles in recent weeks, another of firm interest. Western General also rates a player provided he jumps better than he did on his latest outing.

Unlucky not to win at Taunton last month, WESTERN GENERAL can gain compensation if he avoids any significant jumping errors here.

1	8 1st (8) (16/1 +52%) Come On Nia		16 16/1(+52%)																															(8) Come On Nia 16/1, Telescope mare who offered some promise in maidens/novices but struggled on handicap debut at Taunton a couple of months ago. Others preferred. Unexposed after only four hurdle runs but was soundly beaten on handicap debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 +50%) Thatza Dazzler		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(9) Thatza Dazzler 7/2, Offered little before causing a surprise to open account over fences at Ludlow (2m, heavy) in February and back on track when runner-up at this course three weeks ago. Back over smaller obstacles on a fair mark. Inconsistent, but won over fences in February and has the ability to feature here.

Leaves the impression there's a better effort in him and this looks the ideal opportunity for him to open his account. 0-8 over hurdles but has been knocking on the door since the the winter: likley contender.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -125%) Good Impression		18 18/1(-125%)																															(5) Good Impression 18/1, Boasts a pretty good strike rate over hurdles, regaining winning thread at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in September and similar form when runner-up at that venue later that month. Likely needed the run at Uttoxeter last time and should be back on track. Six-time hurdle winner; ran okay last month, after a break, and current mark is workable.
5th	1 5th (1) (28/1 -40%) Supposedtobe		28 28/1(-40%)																															(1) Supposedtobe 28/1, Won selling hurdle and Uttoxeter handicap last summer but has struggled in handicaps since. Plenty to prove. Hurdle/Flat winner last summer; heavy ground excuses low-key reappearance run in March.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +39%) Thurley		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(3) Thurley 11/2, Just modest form to date over hurdles but he's bred to do better and shaped as if he'd come on for the run on handicap debut at Exeter last time. Not dismissed. Ran well for long way on recent handicap debut and can get much closer to the target here.
7th	2 7th (2) (18/1 -300%) Brandt		18 18/1(-300%)																															(2) Brandt 18/1, Showed a bit in a couple of bumpers for Gordon Elliott and produced best effort to date for current stable when fourth in novice hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy) in November. Disappointing handicap debut at Southwell 33 days ago but may strip fitter for it and he's tongue tied now. Looked a non-stayer over 2m4f on handicap debut; may fare better now back in trip.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -200%) State Of Honor		18 18/1(-200%)																															(6) State Of Honor 18/1, Had the race was in the bag when she crashed out at the final flight on her handicap debut at Hereford in February 2023 but shaped as if badly in need of the run here 9 months later and has been off a further 177 days since. Unlucky not to make winning handicap debut in February 2023; seen only once since.
9th	4 9th (4) (25/1 -150%) Cocardier		25 25/1(-150%)																															(4) Cocardier 25/1, Well held in 2 bumpers but signs of encouragement over hurdles so far and could up his game now handicapping after a break. Open to improvement in handicaps and will be feared if strong in the betting.
7	7 |F| (7) (11/2 +21%) Coup De Gold		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(7) Coup De Gold 11/2, Snapped losing run at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January and creditable efforts both subsequent outings. Has left David Thompson prior to this (off 2 months) and is worthy of a market check. Won at Sedgefield for another stable in January; makes debut for Evan Williams here.
10th	13 10th (13) (14/1 +58%) Prince Rhinegold		14 14/1(+58%)																															(13) Prince Rhinegold 14/1, Far more miss than hit and was down the field at Taunton 3 months ago, so hard to make a solid case for. Won very weak novice in 2023 but has not made much impact in handicaps.
11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 -21%) Howdy Partner		80 80/1(-21%)																															(12) Howdy Partner 80/1, Limited maiden who has been out of sorts for a while. Tailed off at Chepstow last month and now 0-8 over hurdles..
12th	11 12th (11) (80/1 -627%) Seren Y Teigr		80 80/1(-627%)																															(11) Seren Y Teigr 80/1, Down the field in minor event/maidens on Flat and yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles. Struggled in slow-ground maiden/novice hurdles but may fare better in handicaps.

17:35 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GOOD IMPRESSION is the only C&D winner in the field and although he is now rated 91, he may strip fitter after his Uttoxeter sixth which was his first start in six months. He can go well and may have most to fear from the lightly-raced Thatza Dazzler, who reverts to hurdles after a good second here last month over fences. State Of Honor and Cocardier are others to consider.

SMART CASUAL is still relatively unexposed and, having travelled strongly over further when second at this track last time, he boasts excellent claims of going one better. Coup de Gold is a threat on debut for Evan Williams and Thurley can't be ruled out.

The pick is unexposed 5yo THURLEY, who ran much better than the bare form suggests when sixth on his handicap debut.

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.
