1	9 1st (9) (28/1 -75%) Risk De Pluie		28 28/1(-75%)																															(9) Risk De Pluie 28/1, £2,000 4-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French 2m hurdle winner Batman Girac and fairly useful hurdler Rajsalad. Winning Irish pointer (December 10), so he's one to consider on his hurdling bow. Improved to cause 20-1 surprise in maiden point last month; makes rules debut today.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/15 +34%) Bowenspark		0.533333 8/15(+34%)																															(1) Bowenspark 8/15, Useful dual bumper winner and easily landed the odds at Stratford on his hurdling debut. However, he again showed his awkward side when falling in Grade 2 novice at Haydock last time, but he's capable of playing a major role back down in grade. Useful in bumpers last season and impressed on hurdling debut in November; big player.
3	5 3rd (5) (125/1 -400%) How And Ever		125 125/1(-400%)																															(5) How And Ever 125/1, Showed a bit when sixth of 16 in Chepstow bumper on Rules debut, but hasn't made much impact in his 2 starts since switched to hurdling. Needs to leave previous form well behind with cheekpieces now added. Certainly not devoid of ability but has a lot to find with the principals here.
4	12 4th (12) (5/1 +17%) Yalla Habibi		5 5/1(+17%)																															(12) Yalla Habibi 5/1, Ran to a fairly useful level in bumpers, finishing runner-up for the third time in as many starts at Wincanton 16 days ago. Can give another good account as he goes up in trip for his hurdles debut. Second in all three bumpers; Harry Cobden a good booking on hurdle debut.
5th	11 5th (11) (125/1 -25%) Wellwillya		125 125/1(-25%)																															(11) Wellwillya 125/1, After 6 months off, fared better than previously when mid-field in Exeter novice in November and backed up that effort when third in handicap at the same course (18.5f) 46 days ago. However, he has work to do back in novice company. Placed off lowly mark in Exeter handicap last month but faces tough task here.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/2 +0%) Johnny Blue		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(6) Johnny Blue 5/2, Overcame greenness when making a winning bumper debut at Worcester and, after 5 months off, shaped encouragingly when second to a useful rival at Hereford on his hurdles bow in November. Leading contender with improvement to come upped in trip. Bumper winner; clear second to useful rival on hurdle debut at Hereford; up in trip here.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 +0%) Nordic Storm		66 66/1(+0%)																															(8) Nordic Storm 66/1, Showed bit more than on his first outing when fourth in novice at Taunton (19f) 20 days ago, though never landed a blow. Looks one for further down the line. With a good stable but was unable to land a significant blow on first two outings.
8th	2 8th (2) (250/1 -150%) Come On Paddy Mac		250 250/1(-150%)																															(2) Come On Paddy Mac 250/1, Winning Irish pointer but has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles so far, finishing well held after 14 months off at Taunton on his stable debut 20 days ago. Tongue strap now reached for. Irish point winner in February 2022 but well beaten on all three hurdling starts.
9th	3 9th (3) (300/1 -100%) D'ambonnay		300 300/1(-100%)																															(3) D'ambonnay 300/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers and has fared no better in 2 maiden hurdles, finishing well beaten at Plumpton in December. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Has struggled to get competitive in two bumpers and two maiden hurdles.
10th	4 10th (4) (40/1 -100%) Hidalgo Des Bordes		40 40/1(-100%)																															(4) Hidalgo Des Bordes 40/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £25,000 5-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Ginger du Val. Dam, 17f hurdle winner in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Guardia Top. Runner-up on third of 3 starts in Irish points back in May 2022. Bought for £25,000 after Irish point second in May 2022; makes rules debut after layoff.
10	10 |PU| (10) (40/1 -400%) Rue St Denis		40 40/1(-400%)																															(10) Rue St Denis 40/1, Sent off favourite (11/4) but ran below expectations when ninth of 15 at Hereford on debut in November, seeming very green. However, no surprise to see him fare better with that experience behind him as he goes hurdling. With top stable but flopped on bumper debut; Harry Cobden has taken an outside ride.
7	7 |PU| (7) (66/1 -100%) Jolyjump		66 66/1(-100%)																															(7) Jolyjump 66/1, Has looked one for the longer term in 2 novice hurdles to date, going backwards from his debut effort when eighth of 9 at Newbury (20.5f) 39 days ago. Showed no short-term promise in two novice hurdles towards the end of last year.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

BOWENSPARK was sent off favourite when falling at the last in a Grade 2 event at Haydock, but he was unlikely to have won as he was weakening at the time. Henry Daly's gelding now drops back into calmer waters and can defy his 7lb penalty. Johnny Blue was 10 lengths clear of the third when runner-up on his debut over hurdles at Hereford and, with normal progression, he could get into contention. Of the remainder, Yalla Habibi appeals most.

JOHNNY BLUE made a promising start over hurdles when giving best only late on to a useful rival at Hereford in November, so he can build on that effort to go one better. He is taken to see off the challenge of Bowenspark, who can make his presence felt back down in grade, while Rue St Denis could take a step forward on his hurdles bow.

Henry Daly's BOWENSPARK looked smart when winning at Stratford in the autumn and his subsequent Grade 2 defeat is not viewed harshly.

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 -50%) Gold Clermont		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(5) Gold Clermont 9/2, Resumed winning ways at Fakenham in December but only eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Plumpton (28.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Big shout on Fakenham win; weakened right out of it in the Sussex National three weeks ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +45%) Jerrash		3 3/1(+45%)																															(1) Jerrash 3/1, Successful over hurdles at Plumpton (25f) last January but has failed to build on that under both codes, pulled up at Exeter in November. Blinkers are reached for now. Out of form in 2m3f chases; last season's 3m1f hurdles win was encouraging; blinkers now.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/2 +0%) Southern Sam		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(2) Southern Sam 5/2, Lightly-raced for his age and, having ran well when third on return at Wetherby in November, he ran out a gutsy winner at Haydock (25.5f) 29 days ago. Weighted to go well again. Easily the most solid in this field but he was pulled up when trying 3m4f here last April.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -75%) Whydah Gally		7 7/1(-75%)																															(3) Whydah Gally 7/1, Unreliable type who scored at Lingfield on his return only to come in last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 50 days ago. Switches to fences with cheekpieces added and lots to prove. Far from solid judged on last term over fences and this term as a hurdler; headgear switch.
4	4 |PU| (4) (7/2 +13%) Blame The Game		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Blame The Game 7/2, Course winner who took a step back in the right direction when seventh of 11 in handicap chase (18/1) at Plumpton (28.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Considered off a falling mark. Big player on plenty of form last season but he's not fired in his three runs this term.
6	6 |PU| (6) (18/1 +0%) Len Brennan		18 18/1(+0%)																															(6) Len Brennan 18/1, Has gone well fresh but pulled up on his return in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Others are preferred. Out of form on last three starts, with 454 days off before this month's run at Hereford.

15:55 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 28f Race Class Flow

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

SOUTHERN SAM dug deep to open his account over fences at Haydock last month. A 3lb rise looks more than fair for the veteran and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a brace. Gold Clermont didn't fire as expected when only eighth in the Sussex National at Plumpton earlier in the month, but she cannot be dismissed on this return to class 4 company. Whydah Gally also makes some appeal now returned to chasing.

SOUTHERN SAM displayed a plucky attitude when scoring at Haydock last month and can make light of a 3 lb rise in the weights in a handicap where most arrive with a question mark against them. Course winner Blame The Game is sliding down the weights and next on the list ahead of Gold Clermont who needs to shrug off a lesser showing at Plumpton.

Southern Sam looks the most reliable but the step up in trip is an appealing move for JERRASH.

Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Grand Sancy, stayed 2¾m. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Oct 2023). Starts out for in-form yard. Bought for £55,000 after coming second in slow-ground Irish point in October; rules debut.
2	10 2nd (10) (40/1 -21%) Staff Sergeant Len		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Staff Sergeant Len 40/1, Nutan gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Sergeant. Pulled up at Cheltenham first time up, so hard to envisage him getting involved. Ran as though something was amiss when 33-1 for Listed race at Cheltenham this month.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +40%) Grenadier Jed		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) Grenadier Jed 12/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Montenay but didn't offer enough at Wincanton first time out to make him of serious interest in this. Safely held when fifth of nine (albeit on heavy ground) at Wincanton last month.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 +54%) Silver Thorn		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(5) Silver Thorn 11/4, Martaline gelding. Brother to hurdler Marmalaid, and half-brother to bumper winner Lady d'Arbanville. Of obvious interest on debut. Out of a Flat-winning half-sister to Champion Hurdler Katchit; no surprise if he features.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 -8%) Lumi Plugin		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) Lumi Plugin 13/2, Kayf Tara gelding. Sister to 2m hurdle winner Robin's Dream and hurdler Jerrash. Interesting newcomer. Brother to stable's useful jumpers Robin's Dream and Jerrash; looks the part on paper.
6th	11 6th (11) (18/1 -140%) Chocolate Hobbnob		18 18/1(-140%)																															(11) Chocolate Hobbnob 18/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam (h108), 2½m/2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 29f) Deep Purple and useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 23f) Conquisto. Interesting on paper. Out of half-sister to smart jumpers Deep Purple and Conquisto; rare bumper runner for yard.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/2 -53%) Bond Broker		2.5 5/2(-53%)																															(1) Bond Broker 5/2, Successful on sole start in points and made a mildly encouraging start under Rules when third at Exeter a couple of months ago. Could improve plenty, so makes the most appeal. Joined Paul Nicholls after winning point debut; placed at Exeter in November; a player.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 -233%) Bella Cavalla		40 40/1(-233%)																															(7) Bella Cavalla 40/1, Milan mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Miss Xian and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Monkey Milan. Worth a market check. Sister to a useful staying jumper; stable has pretty good record in bumpers.
9th	8 9th (8) (12/1 +25%) Ellie's Warrior		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Ellie's Warrior 12/1, Related to a bumper but only hinted at ability when mid-field at Plumpton first time out. Needs to take a big step forward. Beaten about 21l when sixth at Plumpton last month; improvement needed here.
10th	2 10th (2) (80/1 -60%) Fiftyfifty		80 80/1(-60%)																															(2) Fiftyfifty 80/1, Third both starts in Irish points but well beaten in a Musselburgh bumper on last month's Rules debut. Made low-key start to rules career when seventh at Musselburgh last month.
11th	12 11th (12) (200/1 -100%) Surrey Nemesis		200 200/1(-100%)																															(12) Surrey Nemesis 200/1, Down the field at Newbury first time out and hard to make any sort of case for. Always behind when 150-1 for last month's debut at Newbury (soft).
12th	3 12th (3) (20/1 -67%) John Balliol		20 20/1(-67%)																															(3) John Balliol 20/1, Sixties Icon gelding. Dam 1½m winner who stayed 2m. Should have the pace for this sort of test, so not ruled out. Out of a fairly useful 1m4f AW winner; market may guide on debut.

16:30 Fontwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

BOND BROKER offered plenty of encouragement on his third-placed Rules debut at Exeter in November and natural improvement could make the five-year-old tough to beat. Newcomer Lumi Plugin won't be lacking for stamina in this sphere and the Kayf Tara gelding is taken to go well. Any market support for Gary Moore's gelding would be noteworthy, with similar sentiments applying to Silver Thorn.

Having won his only start between the flags, BOND BROKER made a solid start under Rules at Exeter two months ago, so he's the obvious answer to what could be an above-average bumper. Lumi Plugin and Silver Thorn are two of several notable newcomers.

Point winner BOND BROKER travelled like a good horse when third at Exeter in November and appeals most.

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.
