|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (7/4 -17%)Manlaga |
7/4(-17%) | (5) Manlaga 7/4, Travelled well but was unable to wear down a race-fit rival who led all the way when second, beaten 3/4l, in a Listed Fillies' Juvenile Hurdle at Doncaster latest. Trainer in form; effective at 1m7f–2m1f on heavy and soft; brings further potential. Shaped well after ten months off when second in Doncaster Listed event; very good claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/8 +59%)Pourquoi Pas Papa |
13/8(+59%) | (3) Pourquoi Pas Papa 13/8, Yard has won four of the last 10 runnings of this race; improved to get off the mark with plenty in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Wincanton by 7l last time. Effective around 2m, acts with cut; worth a shot at this level. Advanced form with emphatic Wincanton success latest; more to offer so enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/2 -150%)The Mighty Celt |
15/2(-150%) | (2) The Mighty Celt 15/2, Bit below form when upped in grade and well beaten in a Grade 1 hurdle at Auteuil latest. Hood fitted for the first time; returning from a layoff; effective over 2m–2m2f with cut and has undergone a wind operation ahead of his stable debut. Useful ex-French winning hurdler; interesting prospect for top yard on back of wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (18/1 -80%)Love Sonnet |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Love Sonnet 18/1, Improved when winning a juvenile hurdle at Newbury by 8l last time and returns from a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; progressive, but this represents a much tougher assignment. Made it 2-3 over hurdles at Newbury; this demands more but she shouldn't be underestimated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 +0%)Macktoad |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Macktoad 5/1, Jumped abysmally and was well held up in class when fourth, beaten 37l, in the Grade 2 Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow latest. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time; effective at 2m and acts on soft; could bounce back in the headgear. Easily scored at Sandown then only fourth in Finale at Chepstow; remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (20/1 +20%)Whatsgoingonmarvin |
20/1(+20%) | (7) Whatsgoingonmarvin 20/1, Improved on a moderate debut when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Catterick latest. Effective at 2m on soft ground; hard to fancy at this level. Clear second in Catterick juvenile latest; open to progress but this demands a lot more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (50/1 -79%)Try Them |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Try Them 50/1, Bit keen and green under pressure, not knocked about and showed promise on debut when well beaten in a juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown on his only start. Effective at 2m2f on good to yielding; should improve for the experience, but this is tough. Encouraging debut sixth at Leopardstown in December; faces a tall order here though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Macktoad beat Pourquoi Pas Papa at Sandown prior to proving a very disappointing odds-on favourite in a Grade 2 at Chepstow. Some may forgive that effort and give him another chance, but MANLAGA might get the better of him. Nicky Henderson's filly shaped with lots of promise when just touched off in a Listed contest at Doncaster last month. With any amount of improvement to come, she can take a step forward to score.

The vote goes to MANLAGA who made a promising start for Nicky Henderson when runner-up in a Doncaster Listed event and can go one better

1st (6) (7/4 +50%)The Bluesman |
7/4(+50%) | (6) The Bluesman 7/4, Given a poor ride and allowed the winner to get away when second, beaten 1 1/2l at Leicester last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; almost certainly has more to offer if the rider gets it right. Improved for new yard, excellent Leicester second latest; merits serious consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (33/1 -50%)Western Zephyr |
33/1(-50%) | (3) Western Zephyr 33/1, May not have stayed when pulled up in a handicap chase at Aintree last time. Returning from a long layoff; best around 2m on a sound surface and may need this, with stamina to prove. Pulled up in Topham at Aintree last April on final run for Charlie Longsdon; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (40/1 -789%)Bythesametoken |
40/1(-789%) | (4) Bythesametoken 40/1, Ran to form back from a layoff, benefiting from a strong pace when landing a handicap chase by 2 1/4l off an 11lb lower mark at Listowel last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f with give; this veteran faces a tougher task off a much higher mark. Scored at Listowel in September; 11lb higher but Irish raider can't be totally dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (18/1 -13%)Taras Halls |
18/1(-13%) | (11) Taras Halls 18/1, Never jumped or travelled when pulled up in a handicap chase last time. Effective at around 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft; inconsistent of late. Scored at Newcastle in November but very in and out since; not easy to warm to today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (15/2 +63%)Cerendipity |
15/2(+63%) | (12) Cerendipity 15/2, Didn't find much having briefly threatened when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft; was back in form until that latest run. Yet to score this term but he arrives in decent nick; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (14/1 -40%)Anyharminasking |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Anyharminasking 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Warwick last time. Returning from a break; effective over 2m-2m4f and likes a sound surface; latest form may flatter. Yet to convince in a trio of runs over fences, beaten in a match at Warwick latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (40/1 -21%)Harsh |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Harsh 40/1, Never jumped or travelled when pulled up in a handicap chase at Doncaster last time. Effective around 2m4f-2m6f and acts on any ground; ex-Irish and jumping remains an issue. Pulled up at Doncaster three weeks ago; plenty more is required despite a tumbling mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 -157%)Gentleman Bill |
18/1(-157%) | (10) Gentleman Bill 18/1, Was going well when falling in a handicap chase at Doncaster last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; generally consistent and can have a say. Has failed to go on over fences, falling at the ninth fence at Doncaster nine days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (6/4 +63%)Throatlash |
6/4(+63%) | (8) Throatlash 6/4, Did it readily and improved again up in trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts with cut; an unexposed improver who can have a say. Readily completed a hat-trick over C&D latest; form has been franked so rates a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (18/1 -29%)Nells Son |
18/1(-29%) | (1) Nells Son 18/1, Had no obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Best around 2m and acts on soft and good; now down to a fair mark but has been below par this term. Not at his best this term, only fifth of six at Windsor latest; veteran looks vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (25/1 -150%)Twoshotsoftequila |
25/1(-150%) | (5) Twoshotsoftequila 25/1, Improved, albeit beat very little, when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time. Absent for a very lengthy period; effective over 2m4f-3m and acts with cut; returns off a generous mark but may just need this. Scored twice in spring of 2024; off 23 months but no forlorn hope with yard going well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

It's hard to get away from THROATLASH, who beat a subsequent winner when completing the hat-trick over C&D last month and looks to have lots in his favour. A 5lb rise for that success could be lenient and the seven-year-old can get the better of Irish raider Bythesametoken, who is an interesting contender after his victory at Listowel last September. The unexposed The Bluesman and Anyharminasking are others to note.

The upwardly mobile THROATLASH readily completed a hat-trick over C&D last time and can defy a 5lb weights rise to go 4-4 this season.

1st (5) (9/1 +44%)Lud'or |
9/1(+44%) | (5) Lud'or 9/1, Travelled well and improved again but was probably outstayed late up in trip when beaten 2 1/4l into third in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective at 2m4f, barely gets 3m and is suited by plenty of cut; progressive but does not look up to this. Something to find if rivals are on song but that isn't guaranteed; in good form and stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +44%)Henri The Second |
5/1(+44%) | (2) Henri The Second 5/1, Ran to best at a favoured track when comfortably winning the Heroes Handicap Hurdle at Sandown by 9l last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2m4f-3m, suited by cut but acts on good, and a useful handicap hurdler worth a shot at this. Impressive in h'cap at favourite course Sandown last time; not ruled out on first run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (14/1 +44%)Lavida Adiva |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Lavida Adiva 14/1, Ran to form, just flattening out late up in class on ground softer than ideal when fourth, beaten 12l, in the Yorkshire Rose Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster last time. Hood first time; effective at 2m4f-3m and acts on good to soft and good, but faces a tough task. Listed mares' winner in December but held in fourth in mares' Grade 2 last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 +45%)Beauport |
6/1(+45%) | (3) Beauport 6/1, Stopped quickly when pulled up in the Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1) at Ascot last time. Off a short break and has undergone a wind operation; effective at 3m-3m4f and acts on any ground. Inconsistent and better over fences but was a good second in this 12 months ago. Pulled up last time but wind surgery since; second in this last year; could make bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (5/2 +58%)French Ship |
5/2(+58%) | (4) French Ship 5/2, Made a bit too much use of when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time, having been in good form prior. Effective at 2m4f and may get further, acts on soft and good; progressive but up against it in this. Two 2m4f handicap wins then mid-division at Kempton; this 6yo may still have more to offer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This revolves around the exciting prospect that is KABRAL DU MATHAN. Dan Skelton's gelding supplemented his course success with an impressive performance in the Relkeel at Cheltenham and this rise in trip might be right up his street. With the Stayers' Hurdle possibly next on his agenda, the six-year-old should prove hard to beat. French Ship was unable to complete the hat-trick when finishing seventh in the Lanzarote at Kempton but cannot be discounted, while Henri The Second is the pick for third.

Kabral Du Mathan is the one to beat but needs to prove his stamina and the in-form LUD'OR is an interesting each-way alternative.

1st (2) (5/2 +38%)Dalston Lad |
5/2(+38%) | (2) Dalston Lad 5/2, Travelled, idled a touch, improved up in trip when winning a handicap hurdle here by 1 1/4l last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on GS; more to come and worth a shot at this level. C&D win on h'cap debut & open to further improvement for top yard; firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/1 +0%)Ubatuba |
5/1(+0%) | (9) Ubatuba 5/1, Green and flashed tail, improved to defy penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Leicester by 9 1/2l last time; effective 2m4f on HY and S; more to come for top yard, worth step up in class. Two comfortable wins at Leicester and remains to be seen where ceiling of his ability lies. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (20/1 +20%)Tashkhan |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Tashkhan 20/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when comfortably held in the Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time. Effective over 2m4f-2m7f and acts on heavy and good to soft. Smart on the Flat and may do better in handicaps. Smart Flat stayer in his prime; goes up in trip but others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 +0%)Legendary Luke |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Legendary Luke 9/1, Ran to form to defy a penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Fontwell by a length last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. More to come, but it is needed at this level. 2-2 over hurdles; up in grade today but could relish the step up in trip; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (7/1 +0%)Whiskey Yankee |
7/1(+0%) | (10) Whiskey Yankee 7/1, Made a very promising hurdles debut when beating rivals who had set a useful standard at Ascot last time. Effective at 2m6f on soft ground. A promising sort with more to offer and can have a say upped in grade. Won warm novice at Ascot on hurdle debut; could play another leading role up in trip/grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (50/1 +0%)Caughtinyourtrance |
50/1(+0%) | (1) Caughtinyourtrance 50/1, Pulled up in the River Don Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster last time. Effective over 2m6f-3m and acts on soft and good ground, but looks up against it kept at this level. Went close in C&D handicap in December but pulled up in Grade 2 novice at Doncaster since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (3/1 +14%)Reckless Spending |
3/1(+14%) | (6) Reckless Spending 3/1, Improved when dropped in grade to win easily at Kempton last time. Effective over 2m3f-2m5f on good to soft and good ground. More to come and well worth another go at this level. Going back left-handed may be a negative but he's entitled to respect after Kempton romp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 +31%)Kasino Des Mottes |
11/1(+31%) | (3) Kasino Des Mottes 11/1, Ran to form under a positive ride when dropped in trip, finishing 4 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective over 2m5f-3m and acts on soft and good ground, but needs more at this level. Won at Kempton in November; two respectable efforts since but needs something extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/1 -57%)Lon Chaney |
11/1(-57%) | (5) Lon Chaney 11/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter by 8 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m4f-2m7f and acts on soft and good to soft. Open to further progress, but it is needed at this level. Tougher test of credentials today but he looked good last time and could be involved. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

DALSTON LAD has improved with each start over hurdles and was last seen beating experienced rivals in a handicap over C&D a month ago. On that evidence, Dan Skelton's gelding could take plenty of beating back against novices. The main threat is likely to be Reckless Spending after his 15-length success at Kempton a couple of weeks ago. That said, Ubatuba and Whiskey Yankee are other exciting prospects to consider.

Whiskey Yankee is a tempting option but preference is for LEGENDARY LUKE, who could have plenty more to offer now upped in trip.

1st (7) (13/2 +28%)Grand Geste |
13/2(+28%) | (7) Grand Geste 13/2, Never travelled, beaten very early when pulled up in Great Yorkshire Chase latest; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on S and G; progressing over fences until latest, must bounce back. Impressive in the Tommy Whittle here in December but flopped at Doncaster subsequently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (22/1 +21%)Top Of The Bill |
22/1(+21%) | (1) Top Of The Bill 22/1, Unable to dominate when ninth, beaten 33l off 147 last time and 2lb lower here; off a short break. Effective around 3m and acts on soft and good; has had issues and his mark is probably high enough. 10yo; career-best when winning here in November but well held in Tommy Whittle here since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (16/1 -14%)Neo King |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Neo King 16/1, Improved when relishing a stiff test down in trip, landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Stays 3m4f with plenty of cut and is generally consistent. Won at Windsor in first-time cheekpieces; 9lb higher here but further improvement possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 -155%)Deafening Silence |
7/1(-155%) | (5) Deafening Silence 7/1, Improved on recent form, seeing out the longer trip well 4 1/4l third in Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m6f, acts on S and GS; capable of better. Third of 17 in the Welsh National when upped in trip and he's a key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -20%)Git Maker |
12/1(-20%) | (6) Git Maker 12/1, Pulled up in the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow latest; blinkers worn for the first time. Effective over 3m+ with cut; has struggled since returning from a layoff and the headgear needs to make a difference. Patchy form in 2025 but the forecast soft ground could help and he's on a dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (17/2 +70%)Grand Albert |
17/2(+70%) | (10) Grand Albert 17/2, Had too much to do and was poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; off a short break. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; could be running back into form. Kept on for fifth in the Tommy Whittle here and the step up in trip may be a good move. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 +33%)Monbeg Genius |
8/1(+33%) | (2) Monbeg Genius 8/1, Returned to form back up in trip at a favoured venue when comfortably held in the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow last time. Effective up to 3m5f and acts with cut; inconsistent but capable. 5th of 17 in Welsh National and now back down to last winning mark; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -100%)Richmond Lake |
12/1(-100%) | (4) Richmond Lake 12/1, Just failed when running to form up in trip, hanging fire when challenging and beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m2f; consistent but has a poor strike-rate for a reason. Stayed on well for neck second in the Peter Marsh; well worth a crack at a marathon trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (3/1 +14%)Myretown |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Myretown 3/1, Travelled, rallied after shuddering late errors, probably should've won when beaten 4l off this mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 3m, acts on S and GS; classy staying chaser, probably a bit more to come but jumping issues have crept in. Needs to minimise the mistakes but there remains optimism he's superior to current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (6/1 +50%)Holokea |
6/1(+50%) | (9) Holokea 6/1, Improved again up in trip, just caught late by a strong stayer and did much the best of those forcing the pace when beaten 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective up to 3m5f and acts on soft and good; chance. Second of 16 over extended 3m4f at Windsor; progressive and could be in the mix once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (9/1 -13%)Rivers Corner |
9/1(-13%) | (8) Rivers Corner 9/1, Improved when tried in a new headgear combination, landing a handicap by 21l off a 9lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Enjoys making it; effective from 2m4f to 3m3f and acts on heavy and good; this mark asks more. Impressive at Wincanton when the tongue-tie went on and respected despite 9lb rise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

MYRETOWN's jumping has really let him down the last twice, when falling in the Coral Gold Cup and finishing fourth in the Peter Marsh here last month. A very bad mistake three out cost him on the latter occasion when he was travelling best of all and that effort suggests that he is still well handicapped. With a clear round, the nine-year-old can see off Deafening Silence, who arrives here on the back of placed efforts in the Rehearsal and Welsh Grand National. Rivers Corner and Richmond Lake are others who have strong claims.

Jumping blunders have proved costly for MYRETOWN this season but there is a strong suspicion that he remains well handicapped.

1st (11) (9/2 +50%)Champagne Chic |
9/2(+50%) | (11) Champagne Chic 9/2, Improved and showed a good attitude when landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Usually held up; effective from 2m-2m7f and acts on any; open to progress as a stayer. Clear with a progressive sort at Wincanton latest so a 6lb rise may not stop him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 -9%)Minella Emperor |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Minella Emperor 6/1, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten 4l in a novice hurdle at Thurles latest; effective 2m3f-2m5f, acts on any; steadily progressing. Second in novice latest; very interesting handicap newcomer for his much-respected stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (11/1 +39%)Found A Diamond |
11/1(+39%) | (15) Found A Diamond 11/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 8 1/4l off 114 last time and is 4lb higher here. Effective up to 3m1f and acts on HY and G; in form and not ruled out. Stepped up to around 3m for handicap career, winning at Navan and third at Fairyhouse. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (18/1 -50%)Red Dirt Road |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Red Dirt Road 18/1, May have needed the run when pulled up in the Heroes Handicap Hurdle at Sandown latest. Enjoys making it and is effective from 2m4f-2m7f with cut; should come on for that outing. Two wins last winter but pulled up final start and again on recent reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (25/1 +11%)Thanksforthehelp |
25/1(+11%) | (14) Thanksforthehelp 25/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m4f-3m on S and G; mark looks high enough. Decent record in big fields, including Punchestown win last May; below par since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (17/2 -6%)Doughmore Bay |
17/2(-6%) | (5) Doughmore Bay 17/2, Returned to form back over hurdles when beaten 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective at 3m and acts on S and GS; looks on a good mark over hurdles. Runner-up in series final previous C&D run; second to Go To War at Windsor latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (9/1 -6%)Go To War |
9/1(-6%) | (9) Go To War 9/1, Returned to form on easy ground when landing a Handicap Hurdle by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m-3m and acts on S and G; inconsistent and a revised mark will demand more. Fended off Doughmore Bay in similar race at Windsor (soft) last month; off 6lb higher now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (50/1 -213%)Cave Court |
50/1(-213%) | (6) Cave Court 50/1, Hampered mid-race and forced wide at the home bend before finding little down the field in a handicap chase at Galway most recently. Effective from 2m-2m5f with cut; may need this back hurdling after a break. Off since below-par run over fences at Galway in August and might be best watched. |

20/1(-82%) | (3) Chart Topper 20/1, Hampered by a faller and eased when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham latest. Returning from a break; effective from 2m4f-3m and acts on S and G. Excuses for that run and could bounce back. Third at Galway in August; hampered and pulled up at Cheltenham since; remains unexposed. |

|PU| (8) (8/1 +11%)Off The Jury |
8/1(+11%) | (8) Off The Jury 8/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 3 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las latest; tongue-tie first time. Effective from 2m4f-3m and acts on S and G; good form and has undergone another wind operation. Went close in good handicap last term and could figure if reacting well to wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 +44%)Stay Away Fay |
9/1(+44%) | (1) Stay Away Fay 9/1, Rallied gamely, returned to form in first-time blinkers under positive ride beaten 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective up to 3m1f, acts on S and G; well treated on old form, needs to build on recent revival. Showed he's still smart when second over C&D in blinkers latest; claims if building on it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (11/2 +54%)Gwennie May Star |
11/2(+54%) | (16) Gwennie May Star 11/2, Improved up in trip, aided by leaders getting racing early, when landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Warwick last time; tongue-tie first time. Effective from 2m-3m; steadily progressive and unexposed as a stayer. The way he powered clear late on at Warwick recently suggests he can do better again. |

|PU| (13) (13/2 +64%)Jupiter Des Mottes |
13/2(+64%) | (13) Jupiter Des Mottes 13/2, Outpaced, needed run on chase debut down the field in a handicap chase at Carlisle most recent; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m with cut; unexposed back hurdling. Disappointed on chase debut/return but remains unexposed having rejoined Nicky Richards. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

STAY AWAY FAY bounced back to form in first-time blinkers here last month. He finished a resolute second to the progressive Dalston Lad and is taken to go one better, despite a 4lb rise, with Paul Nicholls' yard in such good form. Nurse Susan arrives in fine fettle having landed a double with a Listed success at Sandown, while Doughmore Bay may well reverse latest running at Windsor with the winner Go To War now on better terms.

This is competitive but CHAMPAGNE CHIC (nap)'s latest Wincanton defeat of another progressive sort (pair clear) appeals as strong form.

1st (2) (3/1 -150%)Unexpected Party |
3/1(-150%) | (2) Unexpected Party 3/1, Travelled, did it cosily when winning a hunter chase at Taunton by 4 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on S and G; consistent in top handicaps and more to come in hunter chases. Useful handicapper who made a winning hunter chase debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/2 +21%)Take All |
11/2(+21%) | (4) Take All 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l into third in a hunter chase at Ludlow on his most recent run. Usually held up. Effective at 2m4f and barely gets 3m. Acts on any ground but is suited by decent ground. Others are favoured. Ran well when fifth in this race a year ago and has some notable form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/5 +60%)Shearer |
4/5(+60%) | (1) Shearer 4/5, Yard has won 4 of last 10 runnings of race; ran well for long way, jumped and travelled before fading into fifth in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham last March; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective up to 3m2f, acts on Hy and G; smart hunter chaser, the one to beat if ready to roll. Won two hunter chases in this month last year; fifth at Cheltenham Festival on last start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 -14%)Good Boy Bobby |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Good Boy Bobby 8/1, Ran to form, possibly challenged a bit early off a strong pace and flattened out when beaten 6l into third in a handicap chase at Newbury on his most recent run. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Respected on hunter chase debut. Long in the tooth now but was still useful last season and has good record when fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (66/1 -100%)Settle Down Jill |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Settle Down Jill 66/1, Well below form and the ground was too soft when pulled up in a handicap chase at Fakenham last time. Off a short break. Probably needs 2m4f and acts on good ground. A point winner who is up in trip for her hunter chase debut. Didn't really fulfull potential for Dan Skelton; changed hands after poor run in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (20/1 -100%)Lift Me Up |
20/1(-100%) | (3) Lift Me Up 20/1, Ran to form when winning an open point at Garthorpe by a neck two starts back. Needed the run when fourth in a similar race on his return. Effective up to 3m4f on soft and good ground but has a bit to find with the pick of these. Won under rules last season and made satisfactory return in open point; could have a say. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

UNEXPECTED PARTY made short work of the opposition when returning the easy winner at Taunton. That was his first start in hunter chase company and Dan Skelton's charge can make the most of these favourable terms once again. Shearer made a winning reappearance in one of these events at Ffos Las last year and he can feature, while Take All ran well for third at Ludlow.

Preference is for SHEARER, who returned from a long layoff with some useful hunter chase form last season.

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.
