1	2 1st (2) (7/4 +42%) Henry's Friend		1.75 7/4(+42%)																															(2) Henry's Friend 7/4, Showed useful form at only the second time of asking over fences when landing 7-runner handicap chase at Newbury (22.4f, soft, 17/2) 30 days ago. All out to score there but he's open to further improvement as a chaser and still looks well treated following a 3 lb rise. Made good transition to fences, jumped well virtually throughout for Newbury win (2m6f).
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 -33%) Deeper Blue		16 16/1(-33%)																															(3) Deeper Blue 16/1, Improved when winning maiden and handicap hurdles in spring 2022. Missed the bulk of last season but showed he retains ability when runner-up on his return at Plumpton. Bit to prove after lacklustre effort at Doncaster last time, though. Showed promise on second chase start (2m3f); beaten long way out since; shaky win claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -57%) Rock My Way		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(1) Rock My Way 11/2, Didn't really go on over hurdles after notching a Grade 2 novice hurdle win at Cheltenham last year but his debut chasing effort when second of 5 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) was a decent start in this sphere. May not have loads in hand from current mark but respected all the same. Winning Irish pointer; won Grade 2 hurdle last January; solid chase debut; has potential.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 +50%) Hardy Fella		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(7) Hardy Fella 9/2, Progressive staying hurdler last season and surpassed that form on the second attempt over fences when scrambling home at Fontwell in November. Fifth at Plumpton since and others still appeal as better-treated. Scraped home on 2nd chase start (2m3f); latest 5th at Plumpton looks better form now.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +18%) Harbour Lake		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(4) Harbour Lake 9/2, Won his first 4 completed starts over hurdles and held his own in to-end handicaps subsequently last term. Well backed but made errors before pulling up on chase debut, though he has the physiqeue for this discipline and should do better. Four hurdle wins at 2m-2m4f but tentative start to chase career when pulled up at Aintree.
5	5 |PU| (5) (8/1 -33%) Supreme Gift		8 8/1(-33%)																															(5) Supreme Gift 8/1, Triple winner in novice hurdles last season and improved from his chasing debut to score in a 4-runner Ascot handicap in November. Not in the same form at Aintree on Boxing Day, so bounce back is called for. Won 3-5 hurdle completions; promising novice chase win at Ascot (2m3f); letdown since.
6	6 |PU| (6) (10/1 -82%) Russian Ruler		10 10/1(-82%)																															(6) Russian Ruler 10/1, Evidently not been the easiest to train but he seemed on the improve when landing Newbury handicap and Kempton novice late last season. Showed aptitude on his chase debut bu seemed in discomfort from some way out at Kempton on Boxing Day and he's got something to prove now. Progressive hurdler; satisfactory chase debut but didn't make a good impression latest.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

HENRY'S FRIEND built on the foundations of a promising chasing-bow fifth at Doncaster when opening his account over fences at Newbury. A 3lb rise looks more than workable for Ben Pauling's gelding and there should be more to come in this sphere. Rock My Way was far from disgraced on his opening bid over the larger obstacles when second at Plumpton. A Grade 2 winner as a novice hurdler, he isn't taken lightly, with Hardy Fella completing the shortlist.

HENRY'S FRIEND has been given only a marginal rise for last month's Newbury success, and with further improvement likely to come, is fancied to follow up. Rock My Way made a solid start to his chasing career at Plumpton last time and is of interest again, whilst Harbour Lake will surely prove better than he was able to show on chase debut and may be worth another chance.

Rock My Way can improve on his chase debut but HENRY'S FRIEND put up a good all-round show when winning at Newbury and is preferred.

1	1 1st (1) (7/4 -59%) The Gypsy Davey		1.75 7/4(-59%)																															(1) The Gypsy Davey 7/4, Off the mark at the fourth attempt between the flags in December and put that experience to good use when making all in a 13-runner maiden at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) on Rules debut 3 weeks ago. Obvious claims despite the penalty. Front-running wins in Irish point, then a 2m hurdle for new yard; not highly tried here.
2	14 2nd (14) (3/1 +94%) Secret Sauce		3 3/1(+94%)																															(14) Secret Sauce 3/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland, winning a 1m Gowran claimer last May. However, offered little in a couple of juvenile hurdles (when trained by Milton Harris) and failed to land a blow returned to the level on debut for this yard last time. Won 1m claimer in Ireland last spring; not yet of interest on what he's shown in Britain.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -75%) Isholo Du Vivien		7 7/1(-75%)																															(4) Isholo Du Vivien 7/1, Point winner who bettered his rather disappointing Rules debut display in a bumper when finishing third of 11 starting out over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) during the Christmas period. Claims if able to build on that here. Winning Irish pointer; modest bumper debut; ran well for a long way on switch to hurdles.
4	9 4th (9) (11/2 +45%) Too Much Hammer		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(9) Too Much Hammer 11/2, Modest fifth in a Ludlow bumper in October and well beaten both starts over hurdles since. Has run in better hurdles than this, hinting at ability; considered down in class.
5th	5 5th (5) (200/1 -100%) Joker Jack		200 200/1(-100%)																															(5) Joker Jack 200/1, Showed a bit only start in bumpers but could hardly have shown any less sent hurdling at Exeter last month. Minor form on bumper debut and pulled up on switch to hurdles; not this time.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -279%) Just Aidan		125 125/1(-279%)																															(6) Just Aidan 125/1, Winner of sole outing in points last spring but it's hard to view his recent Rules debut effort in a Sedgefield bumper in a positive light. Point bumper winner; dropped right out in a Sedgefield bumper this month; hurdle debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (13/2 +68%) Timeforarum		6.5 13/2(+68%)																															(8) Timeforarum 13/2, Fair fourth in a bumper on his introduction here last February but has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including when returning to action following a wind op at Chepstow last month. Hurdles debut. Unable to sustain effort in two course bumpers and on hurdle debut; needs to settle better.
8th	12 8th (12) (50/1 -213%) Creamoverpeaches		50 50/1(-213%)																															(12) Creamoverpeaches 50/1, Imperial Monarch mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m chase winner Doc Carver. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (21f-29f winner) Trust Fund. Probably best watched on debut, unless the market suggests otherwise. Dam half-sister to very useful chaser Trust Fund; probably best watched on belated debut.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 -82%) Jacksbar		10 10/1(-82%)																															(13) Jacksbar 10/1, Clearly in need of the experience when sixth in the 13-runner Taunton maiden won by The Gypsy Davey. Will be more street-wise this time but it's likely that she'll come into her own when tackling longer trips in due course. Quite creditable debut 6th behind The Gypsy Davey; improve; likely to need further than 2m.
11	11 |F| (11) (22/1 -267%) Callan Queen		22 22/1(-267%)																															(11) Callan Queen 22/1, Half-sister to fair hurdler Crushed and debut effort in a Musselburgh bumper last month wasn't completely devoid of promise. Entitled to come on for that run and may well be seen in a better light now switched to hurdles. Leading yard and should come on for bumper debut fifth at Musselburgh; hurdle debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (300/1 -50%) Pearly King		300 300/1(-50%)																															(7) Pearly King 300/1, Didn't show much on debut in a bumper here in November and similar story switched to hurdles at Southwell the following month. Big prices and out the back in a course bumper and a maiden hurdle at Southwell.

16:00 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

THE GYPSY DAVEY impressed when making a winning start under Rules at Taunton earlier in the month and Evan Williams' gelding is very hard to oppose in this company, despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. The main threat is clearly Isholo Du Vivien after his third over this trip at Kelso last time, while Jacksbar is the pick of the remainder.

It was probably a slightly stronger race than this that THE GYPSY DAVEY landed on his Rules debut at Taunton and he looks capable of defying a penalty. Isholo du Vivien didn't shape badly switched to hurdles at Kelso and he gets the nod ahead of Callan Queen, who showed signs of ability in a Musselburgh bumper, for forecast purposes.

The Gypsy Davey has to be respected despite the penalty but ISHOLO DU VIVIEN can take a step forward on his second hurdle run.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 -13%) Time Leader		2.25 9/4(-13%)																															(4) Time Leader 9/4, Fairly useful chaser for John O'Shea who bgged hunter chase (10/11) at Cartmel (25.5f, good) in May. Pulled up in a recent point but he still needs considering for his new stable. Close behind Bennys King in the 2m5f Foxhunters' at Aintree; pulled up in latest point.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -50%) Kaproyale		5 5/1(-50%)																															(3) Kaproyale 5/1, Prolific winning pointer who has made an excellent start in hunters, scoring at Huntingdon and Stratford in early summer. More to offer so can't be ruled out despite an eight-month absence. Best on good ground; good wins at 2m7f and 2m1f last year; capable of further improvement.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -65%) Shang Tang		33 33/1(-65%)																															(8) Shang Tang 33/1, Fairly useful chaser at best for Emma Lavelle but struggled in handicaps at the start of the summer and only seventh in a point for her new stable in December. Quite useful in his prime; hasn't recaptured form since absence, in a point last time out.
4	5 4th (5) (100/1 -100%) Avoir De Soins		100 100/1(-100%)																															(5) Avoir De Soins 100/1, Modest chaser for Jonjo O'Neill who wasn't disgraced on yard debut when 26 lengths fourth of 9 to Kaproyale in hunter chase at Stratford (17f, good) 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Minor point form so far; a lot of ground to make up on Kaproyale on Stratford form in June.
6	6 |F| (6) (9/1 +36%) Notre Pari		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Notre Pari 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Olly Murphy. Has since scored in points and fourth in that sphere last month so can't be dismissed. Wide-margin 2m4f point winner last April; not done enough since to enter the argument here.
7	7 |PU| (7) (150/1 -50%) Nuova Vita		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) Nuova Vita 150/1, Dual winning pointer but showed little in a pair of novice hurdles at Worcester and Newton Abbot in the summer for Polly Grundy. Cheekpieces on for new stable on his return. Two point wins from 11 attempts; up against it back from a break.
9	9 |PU| (9) (150/1 -50%) Urbanist		150 150/1(-50%)																															(9) Urbanist 150/1, Got off the mark in points earlier this month but hasn't troubled the judge in hunter chases thus far and makes limited appeal. Sole point win last May; pulled up all three starts since.
2	2 |RO| (2) (8/11 +73%) Cat Tiger		0.727273 8/11(+73%)																															(2) Cat Tiger 8/11, Useful chaser for Paul Nicholls who was second in last year's Aintree Foxhunters' in 2022. Not disgraced both runs for N. George & A. Zetterholm at Auteuil this winter. Possibilities starting for another new handler. Second in 2022 Foxhunters' at Aintree; below best last season; recaptured form in France.

16:30 Hereford Hunter Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

BENNYS KING bounced back to form when third in this sphere at Taunton three weeks ago and the veteran arguably sets the standard based on that evidence. However, Cat Tiger has more than enough ability to give the selection a race if close to his best, while the in-form Kaproyale and Time Leader can fight it out for the minor honours.

BENNYS KING took this 12 months ago and looks the way to go again having teed himself up well when a rejuvenated third at Taunton last time out. Kaproyale still looks to have better days ahead of him in this sphere so rates the main threat on his return ahead of Notre Pari and Cat Tiger.

Bennys King, Time Leader and Kaproyale should have further success at this level but it's CAT TIGER who makes most appeal.

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.
