13:45 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (85/40 +39%) Hipop Des Ongrais	2.125 85/40(+39%)	(5) Hipop Des Ongrais 85/40, Left chase bow well behind when winning at Fontwell in December. Signed off last season with a brace of third-place finishes but jumping remains an issue. Up in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/8 +72%) Red Happy	1.375 11/8(+72%)	(6) Red Happy 11/8, Scored 3 times (all 3m plus) in 2022, bagging handicap chases off much higher marks than this either side of landing the odds in a weak novice hurdle at Southwell. Not in anything like the same form so far this year, though, and it's easy to have reservations at present.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -100%) Captain Tommy	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Captain Tommy 8/1, Capitalised on free-falling mark over fences at Bangor (3m) in May and added to tally in 5-runner contest over the larger obstacles at Worcester in August. Didn't fare as well on rare hurdles start at Kelso but that effort probably best excused. Respected.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -125%) Blame The Game	4.5 9/2(-125%)	(3) Blame The Game 9/2, Three handicap chase wins last season and shaped really well in a deep contest at Cheltenham when last seen in April. In excellent hands and he's of major interest from the same mark for return.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -136%) Putdecashonthedash	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Putdecashonthedash 33/1, Signed off 2021/22 on a winning note at Plumpton but he rarely stands much racing and last season was a write-off.
6th	1 6th (1) (28/1 -75%) Mr Mafia	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Mr Mafia 28/1, Veteran campaigner who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when making a winning return from 8 months off at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) in July, closed down only late on. Failed badly to back that up when pulled up at that venue a month ago.

LTO Selection:

13:45 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

The returning BLAME THE GAME recorded a solid fourth in a 20-runner affair at Cheltenham in April and looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature. Better is expected of Captain Tommy now reverting to chasing and the nine-year-old may emerge as the chief threat with his fitness assured. Hipop Des Ongrais ended his campaign by filling the frame at Ludlow and is another to consider.

BLAME THE GAME signed off a productive 2022/23 campaign with an excellent effort in a big-field handicap at Cheltenham and given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern. He's a very appealing candidate, with Captain Tommy feared most back over the larger obstacles.

This longer trip should suit HIPOP DES ONGRAIS and he edges preference over the solid Blame The Game.

14:20 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (11/2 +15%) Idy Wood	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(2) Idy Wood 11/2, Made frame both starts in points and made a winning Rules debut in 4-runner bumper at Newbury (16.3f) in February, having run of race. Respected on hurdles debut/return. It was a weak bumper he won at Newbury but he looks a nice prospect.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Iolaos Du Mou	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Iolaos Du Mou 2/1, Impressive winner of Newbury bumper on debut. Turned over at short odds in a first-time tongue strap on first completed start over hurdles at Huntingdon in May but ought to prove capable of better. Turned over at long odds-on last time, leaving him with something to prove here.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/1 +25%) A Tickatickatiming	9 9/1(+25%)	(9) A Tickatickatiming 9/1, Fair bumper winner who showed an aptitude for hurdling at Stratford in August but will need to settle better if she is to progress. Won a poor Plumpton bumper; uninspiring fifth on her switch to hurdling.
4	1 4th (1) (9/4 +70%) Duhallow Tommy	2.25 9/4(+70%)	(1) Duhallow Tommy 9/4, Runner-up in a point and made it third time lucky in bumpers here in January. Well beaten under a penalty at Taunton but offered something work on sent hurdling when fourth in a 11-runner novice at Kempton (2m) in May. Entitled to improve. Course bumper winner; pleasing fourth on hurdling debut when last seen.
5th	10 5th (10) (250/1 -150%) Miss Malou	250 250/1(-150%)	(10) Miss Malou 250/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and was always behind on her hurdling bow over C&D in August. Very limited Flat maiden who was tailed off in a maiden hurdle here.
6th	6 6th (6) (13/2 +19%) Corporal Jackjones	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(6) Corporal Jackjones 13/2, Landed a couple of small-field bumpers in early summer and was unlucky to bump into an above-average one on his Worcester hurdle debut (2m) 18 days ago. Still looked a bit raw there, so he's entitled to progress. Tongue strap on. Dual bumper winner who beat all bar the odds-on favourite on hurdling debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -100%) Jongleur D'etoiles	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Jongleur D'etoiles 66/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Cariatide and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Gain de Cause. Failed to meet expectations in a Worcester bumper on debut back in May. Left for dead once the tempo picked up in a good-ground bumper at Worcester.
8th	5 8th (5) (8/1 +33%) Clondaw Royale	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Clondaw Royale 8/1, €38,000 3-y-o, £80,000 4-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (h103), sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 3¼m) Whatucallher. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 8). One to note starting out under Rules for respected yard. Tongue tied. Bought for £80,000 after finishing the clear second in a 3m Irish point.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (250/1 -67%) West Hill Moth	250 250/1(-67%)	(8) West Hill Moth 250/1, Related to winners but hasn't offered much in a brace of bumpers. Finished out the back in bumpers at Taunton and Huntingdon; no appeal for now.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Iolaos Du Mou has proved expensive to follow, although Nicky Henderson's charge must merit respect in this open contest. A similar level of performance to his runner-up effort at Huntingdon in May shouldn't see him far away, but it may pay to take a chance on hurdling debutant KING WILLIAM RUFUS. The six-year-old achieved some fair form in bumpers last season and has the scope to excel in this discipline. Duhallow Tommy, Idy Wood and Corporal Jackjones are noted too.

KING WILLIAM RUFUS shaped with plenty of promise in a trio of bumpers last season and appeals as the type to take well to hurdling, so he's put forward as the answer. Idy Wood enjoyed the run of the race when winning his sole outing in bumpers in February, but was quite an expensive 4-y-o who should have a future jumping, while Iolaos du Mou and Duhallow Tommy are others to consider in an interesting early-season novice.

This has the look of a decent race. KING WILLIAM RUFUS gets the nod on the strength of his bumper runs.

14:55 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/2 -40%) Sacre Coeur	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(3) Sacre Coeur 7/2, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France and successful in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f) in December. After 3 months off (had wind op), shaped encouragingly on yard debut when second at Market Rasen but failed to build on that at Uttoxeter. Back over fences now and not taken lightly. Placed over hurdles for this yard; fairly treated for this belated return to fences.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +36%) Copperhead	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(4) Copperhead 7/2, Losing run is mounting up but ran better than for a while from a slipping mark when second of 7 in handicap chase at Ludlow (25.6f, good to soft, 7/2) 150 days ago. Needs considering back down in trip. Steadied the ship with a second over 3m1f at Ludlow on final appearance in May.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +0%) Lermoos Legend	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(6) Lermoos Legend 9/2, Latest win in chase at Worcester in July. Respectable third of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft, 7/2) 39 days ago. Not taken lightly. Ran no more than okay with cheekpieces back on at Cartmel.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +30%) Norley	14 14/1(+30%)	(5) Norley 14/1, Improved last season, scoring twice over hurdles before successful on second start over fences at Huntingdon in April. Ran well when narrowly denied in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f) in June but not in the same form next 2 starts. Has since left Ben Pauling. New yard; lost his way of late and returns in quite a competitive race.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/2 +22%) Unanswered Prayers	2.5 5/2(+22%)	(1) Unanswered Prayers 5/2, Had point experience and put that to good use on first start over fences at Cheltenham in November. Disappointed since, however, though was found to have bled at Newbury and had excuses when pulled up at Cheltenham when last seen in April. Didn't go on last season but there's time to come good again and goes well fresh.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -9%) Up The Straight	6 6/1(-9%)	(2) Up The Straight 6/1, Bagged a 2½m Sandown handicap chase last spring and best effort since when a back-to-form third at Kempton when last seen in May. Claims if building on that (ran well in this last year on return). Ran well to be second in this 12 months ago, for all that only three ran.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Representing the in-form Dan Skelton yard, SACRE COEUR could be worth chancing on her return to chasing. The daughter of Montmartre has posted two solid efforts in defeat for current connections over hurdles and may get her head in front now over the larger obstacles. Unanswered Prayers hasn't proved the most reliable, but he's dangerous to dismiss on the back of a break, while Copperhead lurks on an attractive mark.

It could be worth chancing UP THE STRAIGHT, who took a step back in the right direction when third at Kempton in May and he ran well on his return in this last year off a higher mark. Sacre Coeur is potentially well treated back in this sphere so rates the main threat on only her third start for Dan Skelton.

Richard Rowe's UP THE STRAIGHT (nap) perhaps should have won this last year and he returns off a similar absence.

15:30 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (50/1 +0%) Kilcummin	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Kilcummin 50/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but showed nothing both starts in juvenile hurdles upon joining present yard this summer and again finished well held back on the Flat at Salisbury (14.2f) in August. Can only be watched. Beaten 20l in a 1m6f handicap last time, which followed two heavy defeats over hurdles.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -14%) Makanao	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Makanao 4/1, Postponed gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (2¼m-19f winner) Mojo Moon. Fair on Flat in France (stays 12.5f), well held in minor event last time. No surprise to see him feature now hurdling for new yard with tongue tie added to cheekpieces. Ran six times on the Flat in France, winning once over 1m4f on very soft ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/5 +52%) Logistical	1.2 6/5(+52%)	(4) Logistical 6/5, Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding and he surpassed his previous hurdles exploits for this yard when staying on for second in a Plumpton juvenile (17.7f) 12 days ago. Shade flattered by proximity to winner then but solid claims with a repeat. Visor on 1st time. Flat promise and ran well behind a decent recruit last time at Plumpton; now visored.
4	2 4th (2) (9/4 -20%) Cosmic View	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(2) Cosmic View 9/4, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) who ran up to best when second at Pontefract (12f) in July. Below best back there later that month but since joined a yard that do well with their recruits in this sphere, so no surprise to see him make an impact. Some promise in seven defeats for the Crisfords at trips from 1m2f to 1m4f.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -43%) Biscoff Joe	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Biscoff Joe 20/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler Tara Iti (2m-2¼m winner, by Sixties Icon). Modest maiden at best on Flat and, easy to back, offered little in Plumpton juvenile on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Tongue tie goes on now. 40-1 when tailed off at Plumpton, well behind Logistical.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (20/1 -150%) Vale Dolobo Dancer	20 20/1(-150%)	(7) Vale Dolobo Dancer 20/1, Mastercraftsman gelding. Modest form on Flat, tailed off at Ripon (12f) when last seen 31 days ago. Goes hurdling now for new yard and the betting may prove a useful guide as to expectations. Minor Flat form; has joined a good yard to go hurdling and headgear is applied.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (25/1 +0%) Pigeonton	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Pigeonton 25/1, Last of 5 in novice event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 81 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams and now tackles obstacles. Finished last on sole Flat start and was sold on for 3,500gns.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

LOGISTICAL was a creditable second at Plumpton last time and would not need to improve much further to open his account over timber. The fitting of a first-time visor might help to eke out more. Cosmic View has some fair Flat form to his name and must be of interest on his hurdling bow. Vale Dolobo Dancer completes the shortlist.

The market should prove a useful guide in relation to the hurdles debutants but COSMIC VIEW (a fair maiden on the Flat) starts out for a yard that do particularly well in this sphere and he shades the vote without the benefit of market clues. Logistical has an experience edge over most and he, along with David Pipe's Makanao head up the dangers.

If LOGISTICAL can repeat his Plumpton form with a visor now applied then he should be difficult to beat in a weak hurdle.

16:07 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 18f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 -50%) Brookie	2.25 9/4(-50%)	(1) Brookie 9/4, Fairly useful 2m hurdles winner who wasn't disgraced on his final run for Tony Martin when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Not ruled out for his new yard. Ran well in Ireland during the summer; chance if continuing the good work for his new yard.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/4 +34%) Small Bad Bob	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(4) Small Bad Bob 5/4, C&D winner who backed it up with a good second of 5 in handicap here (19.2f, good to firm) later in May on his final run for Paul Henderson. Weighted to go close on his yard debut after a break. 2021 winner; running well when last seen and having his first run for Chris Gordon.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +26%) Tapley	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(2) Tapley 10/3, Got off the mark over hurdles at Plumpton in February and not disgraced on his handicap debut when sixth of 15 at Sandown (16f, good to soft) in April. Still low mileage and can't be discounted on his return. Maiden winner in Feb and then ran okay in a Class 2 handicap at Sandown; chance.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -82%) Clearance	10 10/1(-82%)	(3) Clearance 10/1, Already a three-time winner this season at Newton Abbot in August but turned in a rare below-par run when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 27 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Had a fruitful summer on good ground; below par last time but capable of bouncing back.

LTO Selection:

16:07 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Clearance has proven to be a consistent performer and can once again showcase that ability, along with Small Bad Bob, who arrives having been narrowly denied over 2m3f here in May. However, the vote goes to BROOKIE. He has yet to add to his Limerick maiden success but, having finished a good fourth in a warm handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April, a similar performance might suffice on his first outing for the Anthony Honeyball team.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to SMALL BAD BOB who starts life with the excellent Chris Gordon on a handy-looking mark and can take full advantage. Clearance is a reliable sort and fancied to get back on track after a blip at Stratford, with Brookie and Tapley also in the mix.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +33%) Impression Chic	3 3/1(+33%)	(4) Impression Chic 3/1, £26,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her completed start in points in February. Has shown ability in 3 starts under Rules (all over hurdles) and it's entirely possible that she'll be seen in a better light now switched to fences in a first-time tongue strap. Second in a point; modest hurdler but soon sent chasing with a tongue-tie added.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/5 +60%) Gone In Sixty	1.2 6/5(+60%)	(5) Gone In Sixty 6/5, Remains a maiden following 15 starts overall but placed on several occasions over hurdles and stepped up on chase debut effort when third of 8 at Worcester (16.5f, soft) last month. 1 lb lower here and should make his presence felt. Just his second run over fences when beaten 8l behind a well-backed winner at Worcester.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 +64%) En Coeur	5 5/1(+64%)	(3) En Coeur 5/1, Landed another Plumpton win in January but found life tougher thereafter and has yet to win away from that track. Probably worth taking on following a break here (record when fresh isn't particularly compelling). All four wins at Plumpton but has run well here a few times in the past.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +33%) Princess Midnight	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Princess Midnight 4/1, Sound-jumping front runner who won 3 times over fences in 2022 and just as good when runner-up on first 2 outings this summer. Latest effort over hurdles was creditable, too, and she's likely to give it a good shot. Had excuses on final chase run (5-20) but got back on track with a decent run over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

GAMBIE TIEP made amends for unseating his rider four out at Plumpton last month when making all with a bit in hand over 2m1f at Bangor on Wednesday and a repeat performance can see him defy a 7lb penalty to complete a quick-fire double today.Impression Chic sports a tongue-tie for the first time on her chasing bow and is expected to improve in this sphere following a trio of runs in novice/maiden hurdles at Worcester. A wind operation may benefit En Coeur, who is only 1lb higher than his Plumpton success in January, and he warrants respect.

GAMBIE TIEP proved that he can cope with races in quick succession when scoring twice over hurdles within the space of five days in July, and the 7-y-o will prove hard to beat if allowed to take his chance here on the back of a decisive display at Bangor on Wednesday. Impression Chic is an interesting option for forecast purposes, given that she may well step up on her hurdling exploits now switched to fences. Princess Midnight and Gone In Sixty should both have parts to play, too.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (8/1 +43%) Sassified	8 8/1(+43%)	(8) Sassified 8/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh and was progressing well over hurdles prior to a blip at Newton Abbot last time. Likely to get back on the up. Struggled off his new mark when beaten 14l at Newton Abbot last time; same mark here.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 +25%) First Quest	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) First Quest 12/1, Operating below best since joining current stable, including on the Flat, so returns to this sphere with plenty to prove. Four wins over hurdles but has yet to rediscover his form since moving yards.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -20%) Beat The Heat	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Beat The Heat 4/1, On the up when last seen over hurdles, winning three times at this track, and he arrives on the back of a career-best Flat effort when scoring at Bath. Makes plenty of appeal. Won this last year; returns on the back of a Flat win; tough mark but can go well.
4	12 4th (12) (40/1 +50%) Steven Seagull	40 40/1(+50%)	(12) Steven Seagull 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and not even at that level over hurdles so far. Firmly up against it from out of the weights. Limited maiden and he's a long way out of the weights for handicap debut.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +53%) Only Fools	8.5 17/2(+53%)	(9) Only Fools 17/2, Fair Flat winner in France and hit the crossbar in handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot and Worcester in May/June. Has held form since and is likely to be on the premises again. Dual Flat winner; 0-8 hurdling but has placed form and latest run wasn't bad.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 -220%) Mi Sueno	80 80/1(-220%)	(7) Mi Sueno 80/1, Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Peter John Flood when last of 9 in minor event (7/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 57 days ago. Shaped quite well over hurdles prior to that but still has a bit to prove. Placed over hurdles but ran poorly when visored on final Flat start (stable debut).
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +12%) Belgarum	7.5 15/2(+12%)	(5) Belgarum 15/2, Runner-up on handicap debut at this course in March and backed it up with a solid fifth at Plumpton. Should be on the premises if ready to go after 6 months off. Promise in two spring handicaps; had wind op and now goes in a tongue-tie..
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 -45%) No Worries	16 16/1(-45%)	(10) No Worries 16/1, Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut last November. Let down by his jumping/attitude since then, so this return to the smaller obstacles could help. Two of his three hurdle wins were in Jersey; hasn't been running that well over fences.
9th	3 9th (3) (6/1 -50%) Sami Bear	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Sami Bear 6/1, Returned to winning ways in handicap at Kempton in February. After 12 weeks off, saddle slipped when in contention there next time and fell early on latest outing at Plumpton. Off 145 days since but remains with potential. Had a good spring; still on a fair mark and can show his form when fresh.
10th	4 10th (4) (18/1 -200%) Sarsen	18 18/1(-200%)	(4) Sarsen 18/1, Positive enough start over hurdles when second in 6-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) last year. Disappointing handicap debut next time but has left Alan King (also off 11 months) since and warrants a market check. Off for a year; has been placed; new trainer goes with a tongue-tie; market can guide.
11th	11 11th (11) (9/1 +55%) Abbeyhill	9 9/1(+55%)	(11) Abbeyhill 9/1, Winning pointer but well beaten in bumper/over hurdles. It's easy to look elsewhere. Held by Sir Rock on latest clash and not helped by being 9lb out of the weights.
6	6 \|RR\| (6) (7/2 +36%) Sir Rock	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(6) Sir Rock 7/2, Irish point winner who left previous hurdling form behind when landing a 12-runner handicap at this course 149 days ago. Obvious claims if he returns in the same mood. 5lb higher than for his decisive 2m5f win here in May; just two runs for this yard.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

BEAT THE HEAT was in fine fettle when last seen over hurdles at this track in November 2022, when making it three course victories for the year, and the six-year-old arrives following a recent success on the level at Bath. It would be no surprise to see him pick up where he left off over timber. A wind operation and a tongue-tie may benefit Belgarum, who performed with promise on both attempts in handicap company in the spring. Sir Rock, a winner here in May, and Sassified appeal most of the remainder.

BEAT THE HEAT has an excellent record at this track and is fresh from an improved effort on the Flat, so he's fancied to add to a good hurdling strike rate. Sami Bear and Sassified both remain with potential and are feared.

One who might go well is BELGARUM, who has had wind surgery since making a solid start to his life handicaps back in the spring.

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.
