Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +9%) Ninna Collina	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Ninna Collina 5/1, Suited by the ground and ran to form when a 2 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and looks steadily progressive. Had four runs over hurdles and wasn't beaten far in any of them; thereabouts.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 -86%) Lady Kara	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Lady Kara 13/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l in a Mares bumper over 2m2f at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and may be capable of better if settling and ridden more conservatively. Similar sort of form in three good-ground bumpers, latterly in a hood.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -22%) Midnight Pass	11 11/1(-22%)	(5) Midnight Pass 11/1, Improved from debut when finishing a 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 2m on good ground in bumpers where she showed useful form but may need more time over hurdles. Second run over hurdles but was better than the first but probably needs to improve again.
4	7 4th (7) (4/9 +70%) Ride Like A Girl	0.444444 4/9(+70%)	(7) Ride Like A Girl 4/9, Flattened out after a late error when a promising 7 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and was progressive in bumpers with more to come over hurdles. Hooded for bumper win but not when third behind respected opposition on hurdling debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -125%) Border Gem	18 18/1(-125%)	(1) Border Gem 18/1, Well backed and showed a good attitude when improving to finish second, beaten 1/2l in a maiden bumper over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last time. Has shown promise in 2m bumpers on decent ground and looks to have more to come over hurdles. Second in her last bumper and the winner ran well on Friday's hurdling debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (16/1 -45%) Windsor Blue	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) Windsor Blue 16/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 8l in a maiden bumper at Stratford last time. Returns from a break and is effective at 2m on good ground. May have more to offer over hurdles. RPRs in the 70s when never that dangerous in bumpers here and at Stratford.
7th	2 7th (2) (200/1 -400%) For Love Of Beauty	200 200/1(-400%)	(2) For Love Of Beauty 200/1, Made mistakes and was well beaten on debut in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen. Effective at 2m and could do better if ridden a bit more positively over hurdles. Bumper runs weren't too bad but finished tailed off on recent hurdling debut when 25-1.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -300%) Indigo Blu	200 200/1(-300%)	(3) Indigo Blu 200/1, Outpaced and well beaten on debut in a Mares bumper at Huntingdon, her only start. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and needs to show more having offered little in a bumper. Made a noise when tailed off in her bumper; had wind op and now tongue tied.

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

Bumper winner RIDE LIKE A GIRL failed to help her cause when making a couple of mistakes at Warwick on her hurdling bow. However, Jamie Snowden's filly still showed plenty of promise in finishing third and can go close with a more fluent display of jumping. Recent Warwick third Midnight Pass is another likely improver with Emma Lavelle's yard among the winners, while Lady Kara has shaped well in bumpers and is one to note on her jumping debut.

It was probably a better race in which RIDE LIKE A GIRL ran third at Warwick and she'd have been closer without mistakes.

1	1 1st (1) (10/11 +74%) Jackstell	0.909091 10/11(+74%)	(1) Jackstell 10/11, Ran to form when returning from a break to win a novice hurdle at Warwick by 6 1/2l last time. The trainer is in good form, and he is effective between 2m and 2 1/2m on soft and good ground. Consistent since sent hurdling and was well on top at Warwick 12 days ago.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 -57%) Whatyouwaitingfor	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Whatyouwaitingfor 11/2, Ran to form when winning a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot over 2m3f by a short-head last time. Comes here after a short break and has shown consistency over 2m–2m2f on good ground. Had his consistency rewarded with a narrow maiden victory at Newton Abbot; penalised.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/5 -10%) Big Boy Barney	2.2 11/5(-10%)	(4) Big Boy Barney 11/5, Showed promise on hurdling debut when second, beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Warwick. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. A point winner who should improve with experience. Beat a good horse in his Irish point; making steady progress under rules.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -100%) Marhaba The Champ	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Marhaba The Champ 12/1, Never involved when finishing down the field in a 12f handicap at Doncaster most recently. Usually held up; effective from 10f to 12f on good to soft and good to firm ground. Inconsistent but could make a useful hurdling recruit. Useful Flat performer who could make a hurdler and Sean Bowen rides.

Jackstell returned to action with a convincing success at Warwick recently. Another good effort looks assured and he's preferred to Whatyouwaitingfor, who scored at Newton Abbot in August, but SPARTAN TIMES could prove hard to stop. Jennie Candlish's four-year-old has made rapid strides this year, winning four times on the Flat since scoring over hurdles at Worcester in June, and looks to have plenty more to offer back in this code.

The 6yo BIG BOY BARNEY beat a Graded performer in his Irish point and appears to be making progress under rules.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +56%) Lelant	4 4/1(+56%)	(6) Lelant 4/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground, helped set it up for closers and was comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Ffos Las last time; in the mix. Well treated on some of his form but been a while since he offered an effort of real note.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/4 +36%) Jimmyjeroo	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(3) Jimmyjeroo 7/4, Did too much early when fourth, beaten 17l, in a handicap chase over 3m at Market Rasen last time; effective 2½-3m on good ground. Won from the front over C&D in April (good) and returns only 2lb higher.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +17%) Zacony Rebel	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Zacony Rebel 10/1, Scored by 4l off a mark of 90 over 2m4f at Worcester in July; offered no obvious excuse when eighth, beaten 22l off 95 last time; effective 2-2½m but inconsistent. A winner at Worcester in July but thoroughly underwhelming since then.
4	8 4th (8) (125/1 -150%) Megascope	125 125/1(-150%)	(8) Megascope 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last time; returning from a break and has a bit to find. Lightly raced but poor hurdle form and going the same way over fences.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 +50%) Boys Of Wexford	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(7) Boys Of Wexford 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Stratford last time; acts on soft and good ground; inconsistent. He's become a hard horse to predict since winning from the front at Fontwell 11 months ago.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -320%) Designer Destiny	14 14/1(-320%)	(4) Designer Destiny 14/1, A bit below form when second, beaten a head, in a conditions race over 3m at Bratton Down last time; returning from a break; 3m point winner suited by a sound surface; regressive when last seen under rules. Has been doing well in points and could be a factor off this low a mark back under rules.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (6/1 -9%) Greenways	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Greenways 6/1, Below form on chase return, unsuited by tactics and comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Southwell last time; effective 2-2½m and prefers to dominate. C&D winner and won again this summer; tailed off in his last three races, though.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (10/1 -100%) Clearisthewater	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Clearisthewater 10/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 23l, in a conditions race over 2m3f at Bro Park last time; effective between 2m and 2½m, acts on good ground, but yet to build on debut. Hurdle form lacks substance; plenty too prove now sent chasing, though he did win a point.

15:12 Hereford (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Most of these need to raise their game judged on recent efforts and JIMMYJEROO could be the one to do so. He returns to this venue for the first time since scoring over C&D back in April and Henrietta Knight's charge looks to have a fighting chance off only a 2lb higher mark. Zacony Rebel landed a tougher chase than this at Worcester during the summer, while Clearisthewater is worth a second look on his first start over fences.

None of those are that convincing. JIMMYJEROO has won around here and he might be the answer.

1	6 1st (6) (50/1 -213%) Flash In The Pan	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Flash In The Pan 50/1, Pulled up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time; may appreciate some cut in the ground. Third on handicap debut but Fontwell was disappointing after a break.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 -22%) Jager Time	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(3) Jager Time 11/4, Travelled well when just outbattled late by a strong stayer, beaten a neck off 88 over 3m at Southwell last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m, handles good to soft and good; more improvement likely. Delivered his best run yet in handicaps when going down narrowly over 3m at Southwell.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 -317%) Knightsbridge	25 25/1(-317%)	(4) Knightsbridge 25/1, Not knocked about when well beaten in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester on his final qualifying run. Returns from a short break and needs to find more for handicaps. Uncompetitive in novices at about 2m4f; steps up in trip for handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -79%) Blue In The West	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Blue In The West 25/1, Fell in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. In good form prior to that. Usually held up and returns from a break; one to consider among the contenders. Beaten about 11l back in a handicap and was 14-1 when falling early last time.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +20%) Getaway With You	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Getaway With You 4/1, Beaten 9l in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham last time with no obvious excuse. Effective at 3m but remains a maiden. Keeps getting backed but didn't finish his race out with much gusto at Hexham.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +54%) Tracking Treasure	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(1) Tracking Treasure 11/2, Had every chance but was comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time after needing the run. Effective over 2½m and should come on for the reappearance. Third on handicap debut but modest since; up in trip and there's stayers in the family.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/8 +50%) Jungle Wood	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(5) Jungle Wood 11/8, Won by 3/4l off 83 over 2m7f at Worcester two starts ago, then ran to form when third, beaten 2¼l off 88 last time. Suited by 3m and remains progressive. Has found his level in handicaps; trip/ground fine and Bowen is booked.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (150/1 -500%) Sure To Please	150 150/1(-500%)	(7) Sure To Please 150/1, Finished 74l third in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Warwick on her latest outing. Continues to show inexperience in novice company. Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles, with jumping an issue.

JAGER TIME did well to go under by a neck, despite pulling too hard, at Southwell and if he settles better, Fern O'Brien could ride another winner for her father. Jungle Wood kept on to finish third at Uttoxeter and might find some improvement for the step up in trip, despite an added 1lb from the handicapper. Getaway With You was strongly fancied before finishing fifth at Hexham and will look to make amends.

Sara Bradstock's JUNGLE WOOD (nap) has found his level in handicaps and it's hard to envisage him not being involved in this company.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 -67%) Donnie Azoff	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(3) Donnie Azoff 10/3, Back to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a mark of 117 over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time; trainer in form though he looks on a stiff mark. Knows how to win and was close up in a Class 3 handicap last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f).
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -82%) Ballintubber Boy	2 2/1(-82%)	(1) Ballintubber Boy 2/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when a poor 24l third in a 2m7f handicap chase at Stratford last time; likes to race in front and returns from a short break but has yet to build on a promising reappearance. Returns to hurdling having been over fences and there's nothing wrong with his mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (1/1 +70%) Jeudidee	1 1/1(+70%)	(4) Jeudidee 1/1, Ran slightly below form behind less exposed rivals, outstayed late when 21l third in a 2m4f handicap chase at Worcester last time; effective at 2m and stays 2 1/2m on sharp tracks. Capable chaser this year and reverts to hurdling (won twice) off a lower mark.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (66/1 -230%) The Tide Turns	66 66/1(-230%)	(2) The Tide Turns 66/1, Ran below form when dropped in trip, finishing down the field in a 1m5f handicap at Leopardstown last time; returns from a long absence and needs to show more. Lost his way under both codes for Gordon Elliott and left that yard for £1,600.

16:15 Hereford (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Ballintubber Boy drops slightly in distance on his return to hurdles after failing to make his mark over fences. With a win at Huntingdon a year ago off just 2lb lower, he warrants serious consideration but has to give a lot of weight away to JEUDIDEE. A well-beaten third in a handicap chase at Worcester, the six-year-old steps up in trip and there is enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest he will stay. Donnie Azoff looks best of the rest after his Uttoxeter third.

The 9yo DONNIE AZOFF probably ran as well as he ever has when close up in a Class 3 handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter a month ago.

1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +39%) Unspeakable	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(9) Unspeakable 10/3, Had a bit much to do but ran to form when 5½l third in a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell most recently. Suited by 3m on a sound surface and a consistent performer. Third last time, behind Ballynaheer; 1lb lower now and they're also claiming 5lb.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 +18%) Ballynaheer	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(3) Ballynaheer 9/4, Scored by 14l off 85 over 3m2f at Fontwell on his penultimate start, then ran to form when second beaten 1/4l off 92 at the same venue. Suited by 3m on good ground and remains in good form. Made all at Fontwell and second back there next time off same mark as today's.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -80%) Born At Midnight	9 9/1(-80%)	(1) Born At Midnight 9/1, Returned to form when flattening out late after a layoff, finishing fourth beaten 6l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell. Suited by 3m and acts on soft and good ground; should build on his recent revival. Lost his way last season but his Fontwell return was a lot more like it.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +36%) Iron D'ex	9 9/1(+36%)	(4) Iron D'ex 9/1, Made too much use of early and failed to stay, comfortably held in a 3m handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Needs to improve. Struggling to recapture his form in April but a good record when fresh bodes well.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -133%) Shesupincourt	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Shesupincourt 28/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and handles any ground. Hurdling last time; better over fences but probably needs softer ground; cheekpieces added.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Getthepot	11 11/1(-22%)	(6) Getthepot 11/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early when 12l third in a 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen on his latest start. Effective from 2½m to 3m and needs a sound surface. Form figures may look okay but has been getting beat by some hefty margins.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -25%) Chief O'hara	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Chief O'hara 25/1, Pulled up in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Returning from a break and yet to show any worthwhile ability. Shown little other than when left clear in a British point; lots to prove on chase debut.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (11/1 -38%) Captain's Pick	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Captain's Pick 11/1, Did not find much when fourth beaten 23l in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Off a short break and can be inconsistent. Won in July off 7lb higher but hasn't approached level in his subsequent races.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (11/2 +54%) Anytrixwilldo	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(2) Anytrixwilldo 11/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 14l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot last time. Returning from a break and looks a contender. 3m4f winner last season; profile is anything but consistent but there's a big run in him.

16:45 Hereford (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

A few arrive with something to prove and it looks best to side with BALLYNAHEER, who won at Fontwell before finishing a creditable second over that same C&D. David Dennis' six-year-old is able to compete from an unchanged mark and should go close under similar conditions. Unspeakable has been running well in defeat and must be respected, but stable jockey Jack Tudor opts to ride chasing debutant Captain's Pick and market support should be noted. Getthepot is another to consider.

It might be foolish to dismiss IRON D'EX. The selection is on a good mark and has an eyecatching record when fresh.

1	7 1st (7) (15/2 -50%) My Virtue	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(7) My Virtue 15/2, Outpaced and well held in a stronger handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; in good form when last seen over hurdles and the pick on balance of form. Mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; had an off-day last time.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +63%) After Many Days	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(6) After Many Days 10/3, Preferred easier ground when fourth, beaten 31l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee latest; returns from a break. Case can be made off this mark but may need the run and would prefer slower ground.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +33%) Northern Rose	3 3/1(+33%)	(8) Northern Rose 3/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter latest; well suited by 2m. Longstanding maiden but off this career-low mark she was a 7l second at Uttoxeter.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +55%) Path Of Stars	5 5/1(+55%)	(10) Path Of Stars 5/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 9l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time; looks worth a step up in trip from 2m. Has raised her game in handicaps at about 2m1f, though still beaten 11l and 8l.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -125%) Prairie Queen	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Prairie Queen 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Newton Abbot latest; returns from a break and remains a contender. Has the form to feature but unsteerable before pulling up last time and that was worrying.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 +36%) Quick Of The Night	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(2) Quick Of The Night 7/2, Ran to form and showed stamina when third, beaten 9l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Warwick last time; effective between 2m and 2m3f. Perhaps a better horse at 2m, for all that her last run over 2m3f was fairly respectable.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -471%) Lynsey Larue	40 40/1(-471%)	(4) Lynsey Larue 40/1, Raced far too freely and finished down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen most recently; point winner who acts on good ground and likely to need further than 2m. Dual point winner; yet to show much under rules but now makes handicap debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -83%) Feeling Frisky	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) Feeling Frisky 33/1, Ran to form when 20l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Worcester last time; may do better over a longer trip in handicaps. Bit keen when beaten 20l last time and has further to go on this handicap debut.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (16/1 +36%) Dame Sarra	16 16/1(+36%)	(3) Dame Sarra 16/1, Up in trip and failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester latest; wears a tongue-tie for the first time and returns from a short break. Dual AW winner who has won over hurdles but very opposable on her more recent form.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (20/1 -264%) Cheeky Lady	20 20/1(-264%)	(1) Cheeky Lady 20/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester last time; returns from a short break. Effective over about 2m4f but may not stay further. Her third at Newton Abbot (good while back) offers hope ahead of this handicap debut.

17:20 Hereford (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances and only a tentative vote can go to LYNSEY LARUE. Twice a winner between the flags, Evan Williams' mare has struggled in novice/maiden company so far this season. However, the switch to handicaps coupled with a step up in trip could help, while an opening mark of 88 looks fair. Northern Rose was no match for an in-form rival at Uttoxeter but she remains of interest, as does the four-year-old Path Of Stars, who didn't run badly at Fontwell.

In an open race the suggestion is NORTHERN ROSE who was clear of the rest behind an in-form horse at Uttoxeter.

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.
