1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +0%) Call Me Lord		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Call Me Lord 9/2, Arguably not quite the force of old but he made a winning reappearance at Kempton last season and was runner-up off this mark in a competitive Sandown handicap (23.5f, soft) in February. Wasn't disgraced in Grade 2 company on final start and should make his presence felt. Dual Grade 2 winner in his prime and still a very useful performer last season.
2	2 2nd (2) (15/8 +16%) Luttrell Lad		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(2) Luttrell Lad 15/8, Ended losing run stretching back to his novice days when scoring at Cartmel (17.2f, heavy) during the summer. Would have been placed but for a final-flight mistake at Haydock next time and bold show likely off the same mark here. Creditable fifth at Haydock last month, after a break, and remains on a workable mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) Risk And Roll		11 11/1(+0%)																															(4) Risk And Roll 11/1, Goes well fresh and, after 4 months off, capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring in 6-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in September. However, not in the same form back in this sphere at Aintree since and he looks vulnerable. Below par over 3m on latest outing and may find this an inadequate stamina test.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 -200%) Copper Coin		7.5 15/2(-200%)																															(3) Copper Coin 15/2, Best effort last season when going close in a 21f Kempton handicap in April. Didn't do much wrong when again finding just one too good over the same C&D on his reappearance last month and he has to enter calculations. Ran well in defeat at Kempton last month, after a break, and enters calculations.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/4 +36%) Lime Avenue		1.75 7/4(+36%)																															(5) Lime Avenue 7/4, Impressive bumper winner on debut at Chepstow and off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Wincanton (21.4f, good to soft) in February. Rather disappointing over the same C&D on return/handicap bow following a wind op but it's still early days and she's obviously in good hands. Finished tired on seasonal/handicap debut but still has potential; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

13:35 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

There were high hopes for LIME AVENUE on her return at Wincanton last month, but things didn't go according to plan and now she must bounce back. The six-year-old remains unexposed though and is better judged on her impressive success at the same track in February, where she saw off a host of subsequent winners. Not beaten far in a Grade 2 hurdle at Sandown in April, Call Me Lord is the class angle in this contest, while the consistent Copper Coin also needs considering.

Preference is for LUTTRELL LAD, who did the job well when regaining the winning thread at Cartmel in July and his subsequent fifth in a competitive Haydock handicap was no backward step, particularly given that he would've finished closer but for a mistake at the final flight. Copper Coin is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of Lime Avenue, who remains of interest despite a low-key return at Wincanton.

Another chance is given to LIME AVENUE, who probably went off a bit too hard on last month's handicap debut and still has potential.

1	5 1st (5) (5/1 +75%) Chanceux		5 5/1(+75%)																															(5) Chanceux 5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who hit the crossbar a couple of times over fences last season. Probably needed the run and was a little out of his depth in any case on return at Aintree (15.8f, heavy) 5 weeks ago and the headgear is reapplied. Well beaten on last month's seasonal debut and now 0-6 over fences; others look stronger.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/4 +25%) Beau Balko		1.5 6/4(+25%)																															(2) Beau Balko 6/4, Successful on his sole Flat start in France and won twice over hurdles for present stable last winter. Looked a natural and typically travelled well before folding tamely on return/chase debut at Ffos Las in October but ran much better when runner-up at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) since. Bettered low-key chase debut when second at Wincanton last month; a possible.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +79%) Timeforatune		14 14/1(+79%)																															(4) Timeforatune 14/1, Smart bumper performer who scored twice over hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season. However, having changed hands for £12,000 in September, he hasn't shown much in 4 starts switched to fences for new connections. Has struggled on testing ground this season but could be a different proposition today.
4	1 4th (1) (11/10 +33%) Western Zephyr		1.1 11/10(+33%)																															(1) Western Zephyr 11/10, Point/bumper winner who won 3 wins of his 6 starts over hurdles last season. Decent start over fences off what looked a stiff opening mark when third at Carlisle on return built on that when going a place better at Sandown (15.4f, good to soft) last month. In the mix. 3-6 as novice hurdler last season and began chasing career with two good runs this autumn.

14:13 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MR GREY SKY has made quite the impression since beginning his career over fences and a 3lb rise for his most recent success at Chepstow may not be enough to prevent him landing the hat-trick. Western Zephyr improved from first to second start over the larger obstacles when second at Sandown last month, and he must be a key player, along with the capable Beau Balko, who is finding his feet in this sphere.

A tricky contest to solve despite the small field but the vote goes to the progressive MR GREY SKY, who was perhaps a shade fortunate to follow up his reappearance success at Chepstow last time but Kim Bailey's charge is fancied to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Western Zephyr, who has taken well to fences this season. Beau Balko is seemingly best of the rest.

His recent form on slow ground is poor but TIMEFORATUNE ought to be seen in a considerably better light on the quicker surface here.

1	1 1st (1) (15/8 -25%) Norton Hill		1.875 15/8(-25%)																															(1) Norton Hill 15/8, Bumper winner for Jack Barber who opened his account over hurdles with something in hand in 10-runner C&D handicap 25 days ago, kept up to work. Unexposed as a stayer so a 4 lb rise may not prevent the follow up. Recent C&D winner despite making a meal of some hurdles; 4lb rise pretty fair.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -33%) Slip Road		12 12/1(-33%)																															(2) Slip Road 12/1, Showed good attitude when making winning hurdles debut at Chepstow back in December 2020 for Sam Thomas. Possibly needed the run both starts back for new yard after best part of 3 years off but, equally, might just not have held up physically. Wellbeing issues but this would be easier than of late and he's up in distance.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/8 +16%) Bertie Wooster		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(4) Bertie Wooster 15/8, Remains a maiden following 7 attempts over hurdles but much more encouraging signs in handicaps, just touched off at this course (21.7f) 17 days ago, clear of the rest. Solid claims despite inflated mark. Raised 6lb for finishing a clear second over 2m5f here last month when going down narrowly.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -60%) I'm A Starman		16 16/1(-60%)																															(7) I'm A Starman 16/1, Unreliable sort who bounced back to form reverted to hurdles when runner-up at Worcester (23f, good) in June. Wasn't quite in the same form when fourth at Uttoxeter 2 weeks later though, and his record fresh is a poor one. Others appeal more. Inconsistent and a remote fourth at Uttoxeter when last seen in June.
5th	3 5th (3) (40/1 -60%) Diger Daudaie		40 40/1(-60%)																															(3) Diger Daudaie 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Charlie Longsdon earlier in his career but bled on his final start in 2020/21 and showed nothing on last month's comeback at Sedgefield. Finished a tailed-off last on recent stable debut following a mammoth absence.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 +21%) Belles Benefit		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(8) Belles Benefit 11/2, Successful on debut for this yard at Fontwell last summer and largely consistent subsequently, not disgraced when fifth of 12 over C&D (good) 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for first time. Has yet to win a handicap but not in bad form and now goes in cheekpieces.
5	5 |PU| (5) (9/1 +36%) Blue Shark		9 9/1(+36%)																															(5) Blue Shark 9/1, Highly progressive last season but his run of good form has come to a shuddering halt, beating only one home in his last 3 outings. Profilic spell not that long ago but appears to have lost his way.
6	6 |PU| (6) (25/1 -108%) Ithaka		25 25/1(-108%)																															(6) Ithaka 25/1, Landed a gamble in a Wincanton handicap hurdle in March but there's been little to shout about since, albeit facing a stiff task when down the field at Cheltenham last time. Recent efforts poor but he's a 2m5f winner who is worth trying over this far.

LTO Selection:

14:48 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Norton Hill was on target over C&D last month and a subsequent 4lb rise shouldn't prevent him from mounting another bold bid, but preference is for BERTIE WOOSTER. Joe Tizzard's gelding rallied strongly having looked outpaced over an extended 2m5f here last time, but he looks set to improve now upped in trip. I'm A Starman appeals most of the remainder.

NORTON HILL is totally unexposed as a stayer and is selected to defy a 4 lb rise for last month's C&D win. Bertie Wooster is going the right way himself and is sure to pose a big threat to the selection if seeing out this longer trip. Belles Benefit may prove best of the rest.

Joe Tizzard's BERTIE WOOSTER went down by a nostril over 2m5f here last month and he's given the impression that he'll stay this far.

1	6 1st (6) (2/1 -6%) Topkapi		2 2/1(-6%)																															(6) Topkapi 2/1, Related to a winner on the Flat and showed plenty when runner-up at Huntingdon 67 days ago. Open to improvement and should take the beating. Promising second at Huntingdon two months ago; open to improvement and could be the answer.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 -43%) Dirty Den		2.5 5/2(-43%)																															(1) Dirty Den 5/2, Relatively cheap purchase who made an impressive start when staying on well to land an 11-runner contest at Huntingdon three weeks ago. May do better and deserves respect despite the penalty. Decisive winner at Huntingdon three weeks ago; should make a bold bid to defy a penalty.
3	10 3rd (10) (14/1 -100%) Simply Belle		14 14/1(-100%)																															(10) Simply Belle 14/1, Has hit the frame on both starts to date and may not have reached her limit in this sphere, so warrants consideration. In the frame twice at Huntingdon; should be thereabouts again if staying this longer trip.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +30%) Double Dragon		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(3) Double Dragon 7/2, £12,000 3-y-o, Dragon Dancer gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Chase A Fortune, stays 19f. Dam (c113/h109) bumper/2¾m hurdle winner. One to note for in-form stable. £12,000 3yo; stable has always had a good record in bumpers; shortlisted on debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 +60%) The Flying Falco		20 20/1(+60%)																															(5) The Flying Falco 20/1, Falco gelding. Dam (b70), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to high-class hurdler (2m winner, including Champion Hurdle) Sublimity and fairly useful hurdler (2m-21f winner) Estate. Out of half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Sublimity but yard 0-9 in this sphere of late.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 +34%) Square Du Roule		66 66/1(+34%)																															(4) Square Du Roule 66/1, It's Gino gelding who offered little on debut when well held in bumper at Exeter (13.2f, soft) just over 7 weeks ago. May do better with experience but a significant step forward will be required to feature. Didn't show enough on his debut to suggest he'll be making a serious impact today.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 +73%) Bathgate		9 9/1(+73%)																															(2) Bathgate 9/1, Bathyrhon gelding. Closely related to 21f chase winner in France Keep It Real, and half-brother to fairly useful chaser Brother Pat. Closely related to French cross-country chase winner; yard 0-25 in bumpers last five years.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 -100%) Caress Of Steel		16 16/1(-100%)																															(7) Caress Of Steel 16/1, Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to fair 10.7f winner on Flat Juliet Rose. Dam unraced. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Possibilities on pedigree and stable has a 15% strike-rate in bumpers; has had wind op.
9th	9 9th (9) (10/1 +38%) Little Storm		10 10/1(+38%)																															(9) Little Storm 10/1, Axxos filly. Dam, little show in bumpers/sole start over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Out of The Loop and fairly useful 2¾m hurdle winner Russian Hawk. Newcomer with a jumps pedigree; stable yet to have a bumper winner from a dozen attempts.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 +34%) Ivegotattitude		33 33/1(+34%)																															(8) Ivegotattitude 33/1, Cityscape filly. Dam unraced. Half-brother to winning pointer Mulinas (by Malinas): dam unraced, from family of useful hurdler up to 2½m Western Boy. Only bumper runner in the last five seasons for Flat yard; worth a market check.

15:22 Hereford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Dirty Den romped home at Huntingdon last month and he merits respect under a penalty, but it might pay to side with TOPKAPI. The son of Bobby's Kitten hit the woodwork on his racecourse debut in October, but Andrew Balding's string often improve for that initial experience and he can go one better today. Anthony Honeyball has a commendable record in these types of contests, so Double Dragon is one to look out for on his first start.

TOPKAPI represents a top Flat stable and made an encouraging start a couple of months ago, so he's marginally preferred to debut winner Dirty Den, who is also capable of better. Double Dragon looks the pick of the newcomers.

Huntingdon scorer Dirty Den is highly respected under a penalty but marginal preference is for Andrew Balding's TOPKAPI.

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.
