12:50 Fontwell (Class 4) 17f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (85/40 -6%) Kocktail Bleu	2.125 85/40(-6%)	(7) Kocktail Bleu 85/40, Yard won this last year. Below form when 9l third in a maiden bumper over 2m1f at Exeter last time but returns from a layoff looking a value contender on overall form. Placed in two bumpers last season and looks a good prospect for novice hurdles.
2	8 2nd (8) (33/1 +0%) Roi Du Risk	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Roi Du Risk 33/1, Suited by the ground and ran to form when beaten 10l in a bumper at Plumpton last time. Will need to find more to feature here. Narrow course bumper winner; has a future over jumps but others appeal more today.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 +20%) Broomfield Aderra	8 8/1(+20%)	(11) Broomfield Aderra 8/1, Travelled well and ran to form when suited by a positive ride down in trip, finishing second beaten 5 1/2l in a mares' bumper at Downpatrick last time. Holds an outside chance. Placed in both Irish bumpers in the spring; can make presence felt on stable/hurdle debut.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +29%) Call Me Legend	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Call Me Legend 10/1, Very promising debut when fourth, beaten 4l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; should improve for that experience and can win a maiden. Bumper winner; outran 28-1 odds when a respectable fourth on hurdle debut; e-w claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/5 -16%) Hardly Surprising	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(4) Hardly Surprising 16/5, Very promising debut when a head winner in a maiden over 3m at Ballycahane. Returns from a long layoff with a first-time tongue-tie and needs to improve. Half-brother to high-class jumper Fiddlerontheroof; won on Irish point debut; interesting.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -60%) Crystello	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Crystello 40/1, Improved when second, beaten 4l in a maiden over 3m at Tattersalls Farm last time. Needs to progress further to feature at this level. Bought for £30,000 after Irish point second in April; makes rules debut in good maiden.
7th	12 7th (12) (200/1 -33%) Driving Miss D'azy	200 200/1(-33%)	(12) Driving Miss D'azy 200/1, Found nil when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Worcester last time. Has plenty to prove at present. Came last on bumper debut in March and did not show a great deal in two hurdles last month.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -150%) Known Warrior	100 100/1(-150%)	(6) Known Warrior 100/1, Improved from debut when fourth, beaten 11l in a maiden hurdle here last time. Acts on good ground and may do better over further than 2m. Ran well when fourth over C&D recently but this race looks much deeper.
9th	14 9th (14) (80/1 +20%) Ourbrowneyedgirl	80 80/1(+20%)	(14) Ourbrowneyedgirl 80/1, Outpaced on a modest hurdle debut when well held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m; looks one for the future. Made fairly encouraging hurdle debut in April but makes no significant appeal here.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (13/8 +7%) Doctors Hill	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(3) Doctors Hill 13/8, Ran well for a long way on hurdle debut before fitness told, finishing 13l third in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow. Wears a hood for the first time and may have more to offer for his new yard. Promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Chepstow last month; leading contender.
10th	10 10th (10) (400/1 -167%) Villagers Cross	400 400/1(-167%)	(10) Villagers Cross 400/1, Outclassed and comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Galway last time. Yet to show much and may benefit from an easier assignment. Slipped up on last month's hurdling debut then was soundly beaten two days later.
11th	9 11th (9) (80/1 -186%) Victory Shout	80 80/1(-186%)	(9) Victory Shout 80/1, Outpaced and outclassed when well beaten in a handicap over 11f at Windsor last time. Wears a hood for the first time and returns from a break with something to find. Useful Flat racer; struggled in Grade 2 on only hurdle start; tricky to weigh up.
12th	5 12th (5) (28/1 -12%) Hard Stare	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Hard Stare 28/1, Ran to form when 9l third in a bumper here last time. With the trainer in form, he now needs to progress to make an impact over hurdles. Showed clear promise in bumpers but needs to improve to make winning hurdle debut.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (300/1 -100%) My Lovely Horse	300 300/1(-100%)	(13) My Lovely Horse 300/1, Modest bumper debut when comfortably held in a maiden bumper over 2m at Stratford last time. Difficult to fancy. Safely held in Stratford bumper on rules debut and faces a tough assignment here.

12:50 Fontwell (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Having shaped as if he could improve for the run at Chepstow last month, DOCTORS HILL makes grand appeal on his second outing of the season. The five-year-old was far from disgraced in third and that experience could prove decisive. Broomfield Aderra posted two creditable efforts in Irish bumpers and must enter calculations on her timber/stable bow for Dan Skelton. Kocktail Bleu and Hardly Surprising are other interesting debutants in this discipline.

After a pretty good start to his hurdling career at Chepstow last month, DOCTORS HILL gets the nod.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (17/2 -42%) Realta Liath	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(2) Realta Liath 17/2, Never travelled and looked awkward when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time; in need of a break and open to marked improvement. 0-5 over hurdles but easy Irish point win in 2023 bodes well for her chasing prospects.
2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 +12%) Boys Of Wexford	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Boys Of Wexford 22/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Hereford last time; acts on soft and good ground but inconsistent. Won here last autumn but has been out of form this year and is 5lb wrong today.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -14%) Valirann Gold	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Valirann Gold 16/1, Unseated in a handicap chase over 2m2f here last time when beaten; best at around 2½m and suited by some cut; inconsistent of late and tends to race lazily. C&D winner; on good mark; promising return before hampered and unseating rider after last.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +64%) Sanitiser	6.5 13/2(+64%)	(4) Sanitiser 13/2, Up in trip and failed to get home when finishing down the field in a handicap over 2m at Goodwood most recently; in the mix. Ended 2024 in good form over hurdles but generally disappointing on Flat this year.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +40%) Footloose Man	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(8) Footloose Man 9/2, Improved from debut when stepped up in trip at a favoured venue, landing a handicap by 2l off 82 over 2m6f here last time; off a short break and on a fair mark on hurdle form. Course winner in August; safely held in France twice since; still unexposed over fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -106%) Big Jimbo	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Big Jimbo 33/1, Scored by a length off 84 over 2m2f here on his penultimate start; made mistakes and never travelled when fifth, beaten 20l, off 87 last time; off a short break and effective around 2m off a fair mark on old hurdle form. Won modest event here (2m2f) on chase debut in August but soundly beaten over C&D since.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +0%) Mutley Crew	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Mutley Crew 12/1, Raced wide and travelled well but found little after a late error on chase debut when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap chase over 2m2f at Taunton last time; returning from a long layoff and looks a value selection on balance of form. Absent since running well on chase debut in February but probably still has potential.
8th	3 8th (3) (5/2 -25%) Malfoy Manor	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(3) Malfoy Manor 5/2, Far too keen when stepped up in trip on handicap debut and failed to get home, well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Ayr last time; returning from a long layoff and open to marked improvement. 0-5 over hurdles and absent since February; still looks interesting on stable/chase debut.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/2 0%) Jongleur D'etoiles	5.5 11/2(0%)	(1) Jongleur D'etoiles 11/2, Well backed, form franked, improved up in trip to win a handicap by a head off 101 over 3m2f here last time; open to marked improvement now chasing though may find this on the sharp side. Progressive staying hurdler; makes chase debut after break; drop back in trip not ideal.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (7/2 +53%) Daring Plan	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(7) Daring Plan 7/2, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time; in fair form prior but has a bit to find. Absent since falling in May but looked a shade unlucky when third over C&D two runs ago.

13:25 Fontwell (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Jongleur D'etoiles enjoyed a fruitful hurdling campaign, topped off with a gritty victory over 3m2f here in May. However, this chase bow over an extended 2m3f may prove on the sharp side and it might be worth chancing stable debutant MALFOY MANOR. The six-year-old is a potential improver now under the tutelage of Dan Skelton and his point-to-point background could help him excel over the larger obstacles. Footloose Man enjoys it here and is feared most.

C&D winner VALIRANN GOLD is on a good mark and still had half a chance before coming to grief after the last fence here last month.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -33%) For Gina	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) For Gina 3/1, Went too hard too soon when below form, finishing a 44l third in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Returns from a break and looks progressive. Regressed last season and needs to have been revitalised by her break.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +57%) Happy Returns	3 3/1(+57%)	(5) Happy Returns 3/1, Travelled well but found little up the hill, below form when fourth beaten 17l in a strongly run handicap hurdle here last time. Contender. 0-11 over hurdles; ran okay in similar C&D race to this in March but not seen again since.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +56%) Malago Rose	2 2/1(+56%)	(1) Malago Rose 2/1, Made mistakes and still looked green when below form, comfortably held in a 3m3f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Suited by further and remains progressive. Off since below-par run in March but a big player here if back on song.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +43%) Flintara	4 4/1(+43%)	(3) Flintara 4/1, Outpaced but on a good mark based on chase form when finishing a 4l third in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time. Capable of better on easier ground. Took step back in right direction when placed at Plumpton in May; good chance here.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (13/2 -160%) Just A Memory	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(4) Just A Memory 13/2, Scored by a neck off 94 over 2m5f at Newton Abbot two runs back. Made mistakes and stopped quickly when fourth, beaten 47l off 95 last time. Blinkers first time and in the mix. Won small-field chase in September; didn't jump well enough last time; back hurdling today.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -20%) Dontworrywegotthis	150 150/1(-20%)	(6) Dontworrywegotthis 150/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Yet to show any worthwhile form across various trips. Struggled at triple-digit odds in her first three handicap hurdles and is 15lb wrong here.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -67%) Porridge	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Porridge 250/1, Pulled up in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time and has yet to show anything of note over a range of trips. Poor maiden who can't be recommended from 23lb out of the weights.

14:00 Fontwell (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Just A Memory was too bad to be true when finishing a well-beaten fourth on the chase track at this venue, although her previous form gives cause for optimism. However, FLINTARA ended her last campaign with a decent third at Plumpton and she makes slightly more appeal as a C&D winner. Malago Rose hasn't proved the most consistent since racing for Neil Mulholland, but she's capable on her day and market support on her return would be interesting.

She may not be as good as she was but FLINTARA, a C&D winner in 2023, might be the answer to this modest contest.

1	7 1st (7) (11/4 -38%) Grenadier Jed	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(7) Grenadier Jed 11/4, Well backed when winning a handicap by 3l off 90 at Taunton last time. Returning from a lengthy break but progressive and open to further improvement. Improved when sent handicapping in February, winning twice in good style; back from break.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/2 +25%) Keep Running	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(1) Keep Running 15/2, Pulled up in a Listed handicap chase over 2m at Punchestown last time. Prefers to race prominently and may be competitive if settling better down in grade. Useful chaser but absent since May and unraced over hurdles since March 2023.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/5 +47%) Brave Knight	0.8 4/5(+47%)	(3) Brave Knight 4/5, Went clear comfortably when dropped back in trip to win a handicap by 15l off 120 over 2m2f here last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and well treated escaping a penalty; leading contender if stamina holds. Won by 15l under Freddie Keighley here (2m1f) 12 days ago and escapes a penalty today.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -25%) Raffles Nobu	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Raffles Nobu 25/1, Well backed but below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Prefers easier conditions but not without a chance. Ex-French; safely held on all three starts for Nicky Henderson; now with another new yard.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -56%) Donnie Azoff	7 7/1(-56%)	(2) Donnie Azoff 7/1, Improved when stepped up in trip and dropped in grade, winning a handicap by 1/4l off 117 over 2m6f at Hereford last time. Trainer in form; effective around 2½m on a sound surface, though a higher mark asks more. Led close home at Hereford last month and now 5-20 over hurdles; in the mix again here.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -12%) Kitsilano	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Kitsilano 28/1, Travelled well and ran to form when dropping in grade and stepping up in trip to win a handicap by 1/4l off 94 at Clonmel last time. Absent for a long spell but looks a value pick on balance of form. Signed off in Ireland with heavy-ground win in 2023; makes stable debut after long absence.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -136%) Doctor Glide	66 66/1(-136%)	(4) Doctor Glide 66/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Limerick last time. Effective around 2m but remains an unreliable maiden from Ireland with plenty to prove for this yard. 0-9 in Ireland and pulled up on latest outing in April; revival needed on stable debut.

14:35 Fontwell (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow

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

BRAVE KNIGHT bolted up under Freddie Keighley over the extended 2m1f at this venue 12 days ago and, given that he does not have to carry a penalty for that success, the five-year-old is very hard to oppose now 8lb well-in. Donnie Azoff is another recent winner to note and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of the returning Grenadier Jed and Keep Running.

A wide-margin course winner 12 days ago, BRAVE KNIGHT is taken to double up off the same mark.

Well beaten in three hurdles but this Irish point winner may improve in handicap chases.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/2 -25%) Innisfree Lass	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(1) Innisfree Lass 15/2, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Leicester last time; effective around 3m and suited by plenty of cut; was in good form when last seen. 0-6 over fences and absent since falling in March but resumes on a good mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +9%) He Is A Cracker	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(4) He Is A Cracker 5/2, Improved on recent form to win a handicap by 6½l off 79 here last time; suited by trips over 3m or further and acts on good to soft and good ground; better over fences where steadily progressive. Stayed on for clear C&D win a fortnight ago and is now 2-6 over fences.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (8/1 +6%) Hobb's Delight	8 8/1(+6%)	(3) Hobb's Delight 8/1, Below form and wanted a stronger gallop when 9½l third in a handicap chase here last time; consistent but frustrating; looks the pick on race times. Second off today's mark in two of his six chases last season; has fitness to prove today.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/4 +81%) Noble Cave	2.25 9/4(+81%)	(7) Noble Cave 9/4, Bled and was well beaten in a 2m4f handicap chase at Worcester last time; may need 3m but maiden beginning to look exposed. 0-10 under rules; worth a crack at this new trip but is not an easy one to predict.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (12/1 +14%) Sir Rock	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Sir Rock 12/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early before finishing well beaten in a 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and best at Fontwell. C&D winner in May and recent reappearance run was much better than bare form suggests.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (13/2 -44%) Moonshine Girl	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(5) Moonshine Girl 13/2, Ran to form on chase debut when beaten 2½l off 76 over 2m5f at Sligo last time; probably wants 3m; each way shout. 0-12 over hurdles but made good start to chasing career when placed at Sligo last month.

15:10 Fontwell (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

HE IS A CRACKER had plenty in hand when winning over C&D a couple of weeks ago and a 6lb rise may not be enough to stop the nine-year-old from following up. That said, Moonshine Girl is an interesting Irish raider who was third at Sligo when last seen and she should not be underestimated. The rest have questions to answer, but Hobb's Delight is the pick of them.

Irish-trained mare MOONSHINE GIRL (nap) made a pleasing start to her chasing career over 2m5f last month and is unexposed as a stayer.

3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +71%) Diamond Days	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(5) Diamond Days 7/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Hereford last time; in good form prior to that an still early days. Second on handicap debut in January; jumped poorly next time (pulled up); still unexposed.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -230%) Castle Quarter	33 33/1(-230%)	(4) Castle Quarter 33/1, Improved on recent form to land a 2m handicap by 2l off a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter last time. A definite threat. Returned to form at Uttoxeter in May; off since but remains well handicapped on old form.

Usually held up and yet to show anything over 2-2 1/2m over hurdles. Needs to leave Irish form behind on stable debut. Well beaten in three Irish maiden hurdles; worth market check on stable/handicap debut.

15:45 Fontwell (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Castle Quarter has to be noted on his return having won at Uttoxeter in May, but his lack of a recent run may just give the edge to TIGERS MOON. The five-year-old put in a career best when landing the odds on his second start in handicaps, also at Uttoxeter, a week ago. He is 2lb well-in, despite a 7lb penalty, and Tom Ellis' charge is hard to oppose. Diamond Days and Whatmakes Honey B complete the shortlist.

It's hard to oppose TIGERS MOON, who sauntered to an easy win at Uttoxeter last week and still looks well treated under a penalty.

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.
