5	5 (5) (11/4 +17%) Gold Link	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(5) Gold Link 11/4, Travelled well but made mistakes and was outbattled late, finishing second beaten 4 1/4l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recently; well treated on chase form. Lost his way as a chaser but runner-up on both starts since returned to hurdling in June.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +38%) Lightning Maqueen	5 5/1(+38%)	(6) Lightning Maqueen 5/1, Had too much to do in a race dominated from the front but improved on handicap debut when third, beaten 8 1/2l, in a 2m2f handicap hurdle here last time; tongue-tie fitted first time. Back from a short break and step up in trip could suit. Respectable third here (2m1f) on handicap debut in June; moves up in trip today.
4	4 (4) (5/1 -11%) Janworth	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Janworth 5/1, Quickened clear readily to win by 8l off 95 over 2m4f at Worcester after an unlucky defeat; then ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l, off 103 last time. Returns from a short break with a chance. Unlucky not to win three in a row in the spring and didn't run badly when fourth last time.
7	7 (7) (13/2 -30%) Robber's Bridge	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(7) Robber's Bridge 13/2, Outpaced but rallied to run to form when third, beaten 11l, in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; returns from a short break. Placed on both starts since winning stable debut in April; versatile ground-wise; a player.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +0%) Party Business	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Party Business 7/1, Outpaced but ran to current form when fourth, beaten 7l, in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; lazy sort who may prefer an even stiffer test. On a long losing run but must be considered off career-low mark here.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -150%) Western Clouds	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(2) Western Clouds 15/2, Made mistakes and still looked green when below form dropped in trip under a penalty, finishing a 7 1/4l third in a 2m novice hurdle at Uttoxeter; the pick on balance of form. Won Perth maiden on second of three hurdling starts; may improve again in handicaps.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +18%) D'jo Dela Barriere	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) D'jo Dela Barriere 9/1, Made mistakes and flattened out when comfortably held up in grade in a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time; usually consistent and looks a value selection on balance of form. Patient tactics did not pay dividends last twice; only 2lb above last winning mark now.

16:13 Fontwell (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Janworth has won twice this season over hurdles and can go well again if her stamina holds out over this new trip. The same can be said of Gold Link, who has more proven reserves and ran with credit to finish second on his last two starts over hurdles. He rates a serious player here. However, point-to-point winner WESTERN CLOUDS could be the one best suited to the demands on her stamina and, unexposed over timber, Olly Murphy's mare just shades preference.

Perhaps today's ease in grade will enable PARTY BUSINESS to exploit a career-low mark and end a long losing run.

5	5 (5) (4/9 +70%) Lord	0.444444 4/9(+70%)	(5) Lord 4/9, Outpaced but rallied gamely, finishing second beaten 5l behind a useful rival in a juvenile hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot on debut; steadily progressive and can win a summer juvenile hurdle. Flat ability in Germany and bumped into the smart Dignam on hurdling debut at Newton Abbot.
4	4 (4) (11/2 -10%) Genbu	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Genbu 11/2, Outpaced and poorly placed to challenge, but showed promise when 9l third in a juvenile hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter on debut; should improve. His run behind Dignam at Uttoxeter entitles him to be on the premises with Lord.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +53%) Galactique	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(3) Galactique 15/2, Never travelled and very green, well beaten on debut in a maiden over 1m6f at Goodwood; off a short break; showed little on sole flat start, though yard does well with ex-flat horses in this discipline. Finished a 23l last of the seven runners in a 1m6f maiden at Goodwood; hard to assess.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -75%) Van Aert	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Van Aert 14/1, Up in trip and possibly failed to stay under a positive ride when comfortably held in a 2m handicap at Lingfield last time; usually consistent over 12-14f on a sound surface but yet to convince with stamina for 2m. Eight runs on the Flat, winning a 1m4f AW handicap in April; mixed since.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -150%) Majestic Leo	20 20/1(-150%)	(6) Majestic Leo 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 9l in a maiden over 1m6f at Goodwood last time; returns from a short break; effective up to 14f on the flat with a good yard; should stay 2m over hurdles. Four runs for Ralph Beckett, posting RPRs in the 70s in two of those so has ability.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -150%) Exactly Right	25 25/1(-150%)	(2) Exactly Right 25/1, Outpaced and never competitive when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Kempton most recently; returns from a short break; 1m flat winner on the AW; may do better over hurdles. 1m AW winner for Ralph Beckett in March; finished last in a 1m handicap on yard debut.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -178%) Thomasine	50 50/1(-178%)	(9) Thomasine 50/1, Showed nothing when well beaten in a 2yo race over 8f at Bad Harzburg on only start; returns from a long absence; yard does well with flat recruits over hurdles; market best guide. One Flat run in Germany in 2024 was poor; joined a good yard to go hurdling.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -25%) Risk	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Risk 50/1, Unseated in a juvenile hurdle over 2m at Stratford latest; better form shown on the AW; usually held up; more needed. 11-race Flat maiden and was 33-1 when departing early on hurdling debut at Stratford.

16:45 Fontwell (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

LORD is readily suggested as the first one to consider here. Imported from Germany by Olly Murphy's keen recruitment drive, the three-year-old ran with stacks of promise to finish second to a promising type at Newton Abbot on his hurdles bow. The winner of that race has gone in twice since and the form looks strong for this grade. Genbu was third behind the same rival on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter and is the obvious danger. Bouboule and Galactique appeal the most from the newcomers.

Olly Murphy's LORD beat all bar Dignam at Newton Abbot and the winner is miles above average for a 3yo hurlder at this time of year.

2	2 (2) (7/4 +56%) Leading Force	1.75 7/4(+56%)	(2) Leading Force 7/4, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Market Rasen last time; usually consistent, with top jockey back on board; the pick on balance of form. Didn't fire last month but has generally done well for new stable this season; respected.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +55%) To Be Sure	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(5) To Be Sure 5/2, Flattened out late at a stiff track when beaten 3l off 91 over 2m7f at Worcester last time; visor first time; a threat. Not beaten far when fourth at Worcester last time and remains on a workable mark.
3	3 (3) (16/5 +4%) Masterdream	3.2 16/5(+4%)	(3) Masterdream 16/5, Travelled well and improved down in grade under a positive ride, scoring by 9l off 97 over 2m7f at Worcester three starts back; top jockey back on board; veteran needs a sound surface and is in good form in both codes. Came good over fences at Worcester in June and both subsequent Flat runs were respectable.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +27%) Solo Flight	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Solo Flight 4/1, Below form but saw out the longer trip when 15l third in a handicap chase at Wexford on latest run; fair mark on best Irish form; not out of it. Battled on to snatch modest third on final Irish start; makes stable debut here.

17:18 Fontwell (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Although a multiple winner on the point-to-point scene, JET SMART is actually a potential improver over regulation fences. Having won two of his four starts in similar company, the progressive seven-year-old appeals strongly here. Masterdream is also lightly raced over fences and command respect off 5lb higher than for a successful foray at Worcester on his most recent chase start. Solo Flight and Leading Force complete the shortlist.

The most obvious answer is JET SMART, who has been in excellent form in recent months and tries a new trip today.

8	8 (8) (10/3 -21%) Grasshopper Time	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(8) Grasshopper Time 10/3, Ran to form when outstayed late after challenging early, finishing 6 1/4l third in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Stratford last time; needs to improve. 0-13 over hurdles but ran well on both starts this season and rain will aid his cause.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +47%) Pertemps Diamond	4 4/1(+47%)	(7) Pertemps Diamond 4/1, Green and made mistakes when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; probably has more to come. 0-3 over hurdles for three different stables; improvement possible in handicaps.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +58%) Gms Prince	5 5/1(+58%)	(9) Gms Prince 5/1, Travelled well but failed to find as much as looked likely when 19l third in a Stratford handicap hurdle last time. Usually held up; not out of it. Ran well when third at Stratford last month but 0-19 over hurdles now; others preferred.
12	12 (12) (11/2 +54%) For You Buzz	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(12) For You Buzz 11/2, Had too much to do when comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; a value selection based on the balance of form. 0-8 over hurdles but recent handicap form has been respectable; considered each-way.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +25%) Justice Roll	6 6/1(+25%)	(6) Justice Roll 6/1, Unsuited by drop in trip and comfortably held in a 10f handicap at Sandown last time. Generally out of form, but a French flat winner who handles cut and can do better in handicap hurdles. Well held on both recent Flat starts but remains very unexposed over jumps.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +28%) Stiletto	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(5) Stiletto 13/2, Returned to form when appreciating a stiff test down in trip, scoring by 1 1/2l off 84 at Newton Abbot three starts back. A sound surface suits, effective from 2m to 3m, but has a poor strike rate. Hard to predict nowadays but looked in good nick when winning at Newton Abbot in June.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +13%) Dreamweaver	14 14/1(+13%)	(3) Dreamweaver 14/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester last time; cheekpieces on for the first time. Formerly a useful flat performer but needs to prove ability remains after a long layoff. Looked held when falling last month, on first appearance for 1045 days.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +29%) Macmolly	20 20/1(+29%)	(11) Macmolly 20/1, Pulled up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here last time; returning from a long layoff and has a bit to find. Pulled up when 33-1 for handicap debut one year ago; not seen again since.
13	13 (13) (22/1 -10%) Slemish	22 22/1(-10%)	(13) Slemish 22/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Generally out of form; cheekpieces on first time. Likely to need further than 2m over hurdles. Makes handicap debut from a lowly mark but still needs significant improvement.

Generally out of form, usually held up, and has all to do. Yet to show any worthwhile form after six hurdling starts and is 8lb wrong today.
10	10 (10) (125/1 -150%) Across The Ocean	125 125/1(-150%)	(10) Across The Ocean 125/1, Pulled up in a Stratford handicap hurdle last time; has a bit to find. Pulled-up outsider on last month's stable debut; difficult to enthuse over.

17:48 Fontwell (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Buxted Reel finished a close third off this mark at Worcester in June and showed he remains in good form when third on the Flat at Doncaster last month, so has to be considered. However, a chance can be taken on PERTEMPS DIAMOND, who has failed to land a blow in his three starts over hurdles. The six-year-old now competes in the handicap ranks for the first time and on just his second outing for the Olly Murphy yard, he could strike. Carlton is another to consider.

The pick is GRASSHOPPER TIME (nap), who has been shaping as though his turn is near and ought to be favoured by the forecast rain.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (13/8 +51%) Pescatorius	1.625 13/8(+51%)	(7) Pescatorius 13/8, Had every chance but ran a bit below form when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break and not out of it. First two runs for new stable this season were respectable; needs extra here, though.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +63%) Mister Upton	3 3/1(+63%)	(4) Mister Upton 3/1, Did too much too soon when chasing the leader, finishing a distant third by 114l in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Newton Abbot on latest run. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and has a significant jockey booking. Dual chase winner for Chris Gordon last season but has become very unreliable.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +15%) Footloose Man	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Footloose Man 11/2, Had too much to do back from a break at a sharp track and was never involved, finishing fourth beaten 24l on chase debut in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Stratford last time. On a fair mark judged on hurdle form and could improve. Course hurdle winner; made low-key chase debut last month but that came after a layoff.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +67%) Noble Cave	6 6/1(+67%)	(8) Noble Cave 6/1, Did plenty early and was comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Worcester last time. Wears blinkers for the first time but his form is going the wrong way. 0-4 over fences but has possibilities off his lowly mark if boosted by headgear switch.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -25%) Celtic Fortune	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(2) Celtic Fortune 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Wincanton last time. Significant jockey booking, but has a bit to find. Absent since poor performance in March but came second in two previous chases.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -33%) Rajjamataz	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Rajjamataz 12/1, Below form when needing the run and possibly finding the ground too quick, comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester last time. Generally out of form; wears blinkers for the first time after a short break and may contend. Course winner last spring but has lost his way since autumn; headgear switched here.
9	9 (9) (125/1 -56%) Mawlood	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Mawlood 125/1, Raced wide and was unsuited by soft ground, comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time. Returns from a short break but looks regressive. Has been in the doldrums for a long time and is 11lb out of the weights today.

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

Mokoro occupied the runner-up berth over the smaller obstacles at Stratford last month and is an interesting contender on his first outing over fences. A lot more has been expected of Pescatorius in both of his starts for the Olly Murphy yard and the son of Getaway will be attempting to justify that support on this occasion. However, CELTIC FORTUNE finished second at Huntingdon two starts ago and is 2lb lower compared to that day. As long as the eight-year-old is ready to go, he could be the one to beat.

Course hurdle winner FOOTLOOSE MAN made a low-key chase debut last month but probably needed that run and can fare better here.

7	7 (7) (15/8 +79%) No More Bolero	1.875 15/8(+79%)	(7) No More Bolero 15/8, Never competitive after blowing the start when beaten 9l in a 12f handicap at Newbury last time; significant jockey booking but yet to show retains ability since hurdling and has probably regressed. All four Flat runs for new stable this year have been disappointing; back hurdling today.
9	9 (9) (5/2 +25%) Cawthorne Banker	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(9) Cawthorne Banker 5/2, Outpaced but returned to form off a reduced mark when beaten 2 1/2l off 76 over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; has dropped a long way in the weights. Arrested decline with 40-1 second at Uttoxeter last month; still very well handicapped.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +18%) Everest	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(4) Everest 9/2, Travelled and ran to form, just tiring late on when 19l third in a 2m3f novice hurdle here on latest start; significant jockey booking and off a short break; the pick on balance of form. Yet to build upon her promising bumper debut but is open to improvement now handicapping.
5	5 (5) (17/2 -113%) Papa Barns	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(5) Papa Barns 17/2, Never travelled and unable to go the gallop on quick ground when down the field in a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recently; a threat. Ran poorly last time but was clear second to progressive rival on stable debut in June.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -133%) Getmetothemoon	14 14/1(-133%)	(2) Getmetothemoon 14/1, Made too much use of and finished down the field in a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recently; had been in good form beforehand. Battled well for narrow win in February but made low-key reappearance last month.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -100%) Chester Tonik	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Chester Tonik 18/1, Well backed when beaten 3l off 76 over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time; that form had knocks; may just need this back from break. Took step forward when third at Sedgefield in March; a possible if tuned up after break.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -14%) Ray's The One	25 25/1(-14%)	(11) Ray's The One 25/1, Outpaced and out of form when well beaten in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Stratford most recently; second run after a wind operation and returns from a short break. Dual C&D winner but not since December 2022, and is very inconsistent nowadays.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Aquifolia	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Aquifolia 25/1, May have found the ground a bit quick on flat return when beaten 9l in a 10f handicap at Bath last time; can do better when ridden more positively over hurdles. Not beaten far when midfield on last month's handicap debut but improvement is needed.
1	1 (1) (28/1 +15%) Linden Lane	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Linden Lane 28/1, Outpaced and unable to go the gallop, looked in need of further when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; likely requires further than 2m. Pretty good third on handicap debut in June but two disappointing runs have followed.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -211%) Little Venice	28 28/1(-211%)	(6) Little Venice 28/1, Never put into the race and comfortably held in a 2m maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter on final qualifying run; returning from a long layoff; usually held up and may do better in handicaps judged on flat form. Makes handicap debut after a layoff but still worth a check in the market.
3	3 (3) (40/1 -60%) Lookforarainbow	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Lookforarainbow 40/1, Keen and probably needed the run when down the field in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time; usually held up and has a chance. Veteran; returned from 640-day absence with quiet run in February; off for 206 days since.

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

CAWTHORNE BANKER bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Uttoxeter last month and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from gaining a first win since May 2024 over C&D. Not beaten far over further at Sedgefield at March, Chester Tonik must enter calculations, along with Getmetothemoon, who may be able to regain the form that saw her win at Plumpton on her penultimate outing.

Preference is for PAPA BARNS, who was a creditable second on his stable debut two starts ago and can hopefully return to that level.

Likes to race prominently, has a significant jockey booking and is generally consistent. Disappointing favourite on last month's stable debut but can come good for new yard soon.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +62%) Impression Chic	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(5) Impression Chic 5/2, Well handicapped on novice form and beaten 3l off 93 over 2m4f at Worcester last time. Returns after a long absence and now has her second run since a wind operation but needs to improve. C&D winnerr; ran well after a layoff last summer; returns from another absence today.
3	3 (3) (11/4 -83%) Claim Du Brizais	2.75 11/4(-83%)	(3) Claim Du Brizais 11/4, Outpaced and poorly placed to challenge but kept on over the longer trip when 12l third on handicap debut in a 2m3f Stratford hurdle last time. With a top jockey back on board, she is capable of much better. Respectable third on last month's handicap hurdle debut; quickly switched to chasing.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +74%) Big Jimbo	6.5 13/2(+74%)	(6) Big Jimbo 13/2, Needed the run when well beaten in a 2m Lingfield handicap last time. Generally out of form but has a significant jockey booking. Regressive on the Flat, effective at 2m over hurdles but has plenty to prove. In poor form on the Flat since last summer and has too much to prove on chasing debut.

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

The winning run of OBSESSEDWITHYOU may have come to an end over further at Stratford last month, but she should be well suited by dropping back in trip on this occasion, and a mark of 112 still looks manageable. A determined winner at Newton Abbot on her penultimate start, Claim Du Brizais looks to be her main danger, as well as Hold Onto The Line, making just his second start for the Olly Murphy stable.

Claim Du Brizais looks interesting on her chase debut but HOLD ONTO THE LINE gets the vote on his second start for Olly Murphy.

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.
