11	11 (11) (9/2 +18%) Ez Tiger		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(11) Ez Tiger 9/2, Belatedly off the mark in a Southwell handicap (15.8f, good to soft) in July, benefiting from chasing a strong pace instead of forcing one. Backed that up when going close off 3 lb higher over the same C&D since and, though up another 3 lb, he's likely to remain competitive. Opened account at Southwell in summer and ran big race in defeat there last month.
2	2 (2) (9/2 -50%) Gerard Mentor		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(2) Gerard Mentor 9/2, Winner of 3 handicap hurdles at around 2m last season. Mark dropped following a string of low-key efforts this season and he bounced back when going close on second start following a wind op at Exeter (16.7f, good) recently. Big player. Returned to form with clear second at Exeter 12 day ago; still on good mark after 4lb rise.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +50%) East End Girl		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(5) East End Girl 9/2, Won on the level and over hurdles for Lucy Wadham. Well held on debut for this yard on the Flat last month, but wasn't beaten at all far back in this sphere at Worcester (2m, soft) 12 days ago and she's an each-way player off the same mark. Ran well at Worcester 12 days ago and has a big role to play here.
6	6 (6) (11/1 +21%) Turpin Gold		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Turpin Gold 11/1, Stratford novice winner last November and best effort since when third of 12 in a Uttoxeter handicap during the summer. However, hasn't managed to reproduce that form in 3 completed starts since, finishing well adrift of Gerard Mentor at Exeter last time. Didn't run badly when eighth at Exeter recently and has slipped to a good mark.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -10%) Stonific		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) Stonific 11/2, Won the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen for David O'Meara in July 2021 and, though winless since, he has returned to form this month with solid efforts in defeat at Southwell and Ludlow (both at around 2m). Remains on a good mark and bold show anticipated. Not as good as he was but placed twice this month and ought to be on the premises again.
7	7 (7) (13/2 +46%) Noble Savage		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(7) Noble Savage 13/2, First past the post in 21.5f Wincanton handicap in March but demoted for hanging left and hampering the runner-up. Not in anything like the same form since, though, and he needs to bounce back. First past the post off this mark in March but not seen since heavy defeat in May.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +0%) Night Bear		14 14/1(+0%)																															(10) Night Bear 14/1, Fair winner on the Flat, but will need to leave previous hurdles form well behind if he's to make a winning handicap debut in this sphere. Well beaten in three novice hurdles but his Flat ability offers some hope.
13	13 (13) (14/1 -133%) Starlight Glance		14 14/1(-133%)																															(13) Starlight Glance 14/1, Beaten a long way by the winner when second in a 10-runner Southwell novice (15.8f, good to soft) on her latest start in March. Still, that arguably represented a step in the right direction and she's in good hands to progress now switched to handicap company. Remote when second in Southwell novice in March but open to improvement in handicaps.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +36%) Jack The Savage		16 16/1(+36%)																															(3) Jack The Savage 16/1, Bumper winner who posted an encouraging third on hurdles bow at Plumpton in February. Hasn't built on that since though, showing signs of temperament prior to unseating his rider on his Worcester handicap debut in August. Has had a breathing op since. Held before unseating rider on handicap debut in August; needs to learn to settle.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Lady Valentine		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Lady Valentine 25/1, Flat winner who was runner-up in a C&D mares' maiden on second hurdles start in February. However, she hasn't shown much at all switched to handicaps since and visor (worn on a few occasions on the Flat) now replaces cheekpieces. Second in C&D maiden in February but weakened tamely in both subsequent handicaps.
8	8 (8) (33/1 -175%) Swift Tuttle		33 33/1(-175%)																															(8) Swift Tuttle 33/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Brian Meehan and left previous hurdling efforts behind when scoring at a big price at Bangor (16.7f, good) on penultimate start. However, he failed to beat a rival home next time. Prevailed in messy finish to cause 33-1 surprise last month; safely held since.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -32%) G'day Aussie		33 33/1(-32%)																															(9) G'day Aussie 33/1, Scored at Worcester (2m, good to soft) on second run since returning from a lengthy absence, but subsequent display at Market Rasen leaves him with a point to prove. Won off much-reduced mark in July but latest run was underwhelming; hard to predict.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Gerard Mentor was only denied by a head when second in a similar event at Exeter 12 days ago and should go well again, but a 4lb rise makes life tougher and preference is for EZ TIGER. The Alex Hales-trained gelding got within a short head of landing a double at Southwell last month and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent this in-form six-year-old going close again. Starlight Glance could be well treated off bottom weight on her handicap debut.

Though he arrives on a long losing run, STONIFIC has fallen a long way in the weights since his latest success and looks ready to strike judged on his placed efforts at Southwell and Ludlow the last twice. Gerard Mentor is a much-respected main danger having returned to form when going close at Exeter recently and, like the selection, he is on a good mark. East End Girl is a live each-way candidate, a remark which also applies to Ez Tiger and the lightly-raced Starlight Glance.

14	14 (14) (6/1 -33%) Irish Chorus		6 6/1(-33%)																															(14) Irish Chorus 6/1, Ultimately beaten a fair way when third on debut in a 12-runner Newbury bumper in March, but that was still a fairly encouraging start to her career. In good hands and likely to do better before long. Showed enough when third at Newbury in March to be worth considering.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +27%) Matchadam		8 8/1(+27%)																															(2) Matchadam 8/1, Picked up for £50,000 after getting on top close home on his sole start between the flags last November. Has joined a respected yard and needs close attention in the betting on this Rules debut. Yard also saddles My Friend Sean. Tongue strap applied. Maiden point winner last November; could be an interesting candidate.
12	12 (12) (11/4 -38%) Bellas Bridge		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(12) Bellas Bridge 11/4, £10,000 3-y-o, €155,000 4-y-o. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Horsted Valley and she landed a maiden point on debut in April. Very much of interest starting out under Rules and the market will be informative. Bought for 155,000euros after winning an Irish point; obvious appeal.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -9%) Future Fortune		12 12/1(-9%)																															(13) Future Fortune 12/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune filly. Dam 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Yard can get one ready first time out and she's worth a second look in the betting. Out of a winning dam but plenty of stamina in her pedigree and may need more time.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +40%) Head Over Hinds		12 12/1(+40%)																															(1) Head Over Hinds 12/1, €48,000 3-y-o out of a bumper/2m hurdle winner. Never looked like winning on debut at Huntingdon during the spring, but there were signs of ability and he's likely to do better in time. Down the field on debut in May but not disgraced; could play a part.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +46%) My Friend Sean		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(8) My Friend Sean 13/2, €38,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Guidedbythescience. Dam 19f-21f hurdle winner. Wears tongue strap on debut and the market should be revealing. Quite attractive pedigree and worth market check on debut.
4	4 (4) (16/5 +68%) Diamond Dice		3.2 16/5(+68%)																															(4) Diamond Dice 16/5, Held every chance when departing at the last on debut in a maiden point during the spring. Subsequently bought for £50,000 and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say. Every chance when falling in maiden point in May; market check required.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +52%) Chevington		16 16/1(+52%)																															(3) Chevington 16/1, Out of a winner and showed good deal of ability himself when second in 6-runner C&D bumper on debut in February. Subsequent effort back here in April represented a step in the wrong direction, but it's far too soon to write him off. Second over C&D on debut but well beaten, also over C&D, when last seen in April.
5	5 (5) (28/1 +72%) Elauro		28 28/1(+72%)																															(5) Elauro 28/1, Unseated rider sole start in points earlier this year. Yard's record in bumpers doesn't augur well and probably best watched on Rules debut. Early casualty in a maiden point in March.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -233%) Jukebox Annie		40 40/1(-233%)																															(7) Jukebox Annie 40/1, Cheap purchase who unseated rider at the start on debut at Stratford in August before landing a 3-runner affair at Newton Abbot the following month. That wasn't much of a race and she has more on her plate here. Beat two rivals at Newton Abbot last month; this is much harder; 7lb penalty.
11	11 (11) (66/1 +0%) West Hill Shadow		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) West Hill Shadow 66/1, €16,500 3-y-o, Laverock gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2m-2½m winner) Charlie Stout. Another who will probably be better for the experience. Related to winners but trainer has fairly modest record in bumpers.
6	6 (6) (100/1 +0%) Inspector Maigret		100 100/1(+0%)																															(6) Inspector Maigret 100/1, Montmartre gelding out of a 2m hurdle winner, also 1½m-13.3f winner who stayed 2m on Flat. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner on paper. Newcomer; dam won on the Flat and over hurdles; trainer yet to send out a bumper winner.
10	10 (10) (150/1 -127%) Sixties Boy		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Sixties Boy 150/1, £4,000 3-y-o, Sixties Icon gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Charging Point, stays 3m. Likely to come on for the run. Related to jumping winners but trainer 0-6 in recent seasons in bumpers.

17:15 Hereford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IRISH CHORUS made an encouraging debut when third at Newbury in March, form that has been boosted by two of those behind her scoring since, and she looks a big player with improvement expected following that initial experience. Navajo Indy was only held by a length at Kempton when last seen in March and has claims on that form, while Matchadam cost 50,000gns following a point-to-point success and he's of interest on his debut under Rules.

DIAMOND DICE, Bellas Bridge and Matchadam are all of strong interest starting out under Rules for respected yards. The first-named is the only member of the trio who failed to make a winning debut between the flags, but he may well have done so but for falling at the last and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Navajo Indy looks the pick of those with experience in this sphere and he merits respect.

A reasonable standard is set by NAVAJO INDY and he could make it third time lucky.

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.

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.
