1
1st (4) (0.91/1 -36%) Keep Rolling
0.91/1(-36%)
(4) Keep Rolling 0.91/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has improved in each run over hurdles, third of 13 in novice at Southwell (15.7f, heavy) when last seen 12 months ago. The one to beat upped in trip.
2
2nd (9) (4/1 +60%) Supervisor
4/1(+60%)
(9) Supervisor 4/1, €54,000 Flemensfirth gelding who showed a bit in a pair of bumpers in 2018/19 and badly needed the outing on hurdles bow 13 months ago.
3
3rd (1) (80/1 +0%) Beau Haze
80/1(+0%)
(1) Beau Haze 80/1, Brought along gradually in 2018/19 but no impact in 4 handicaps last term. Back down in trip/in maiden company but must show more to feature after 10 months off.
4
4th (8) (5/1 +38%) My Last Oscar
5/1(+38%)
(8) My Last Oscar 5/1, Shaped as if needing experience in a bumper and stepped up on that in a hood when fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip.
5th
5th (7) (9/1 +18%) Mozzaro
9/1(+18%)
(7) Mozzaro 9/1, Signs of ability on first 2 starts but he's likely to come into his own when faced with a stiffer test further down the line. Should make a better jumper and one to keep an eye on in the betting.
6th
6th (11) (33/1 +34%) Tom O'Roughley
33/1(+34%)
(11) Tom O'Roughley 33/1, Only finisher when gaining his point win and well held in Aintree bumper (for Peter Fahey) in May 2919. No impact on hurdles bow earlier this month and looks one for the longer term.
7th
7th (2) (200/1 -33%) Dysania
200/1(-33%)
(2) Dysania 200/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdle so hard to recommend on what he's shown so far.
8th
8th (6) (20/1 -11%) Movethechains
20/1(-11%)
(6) Movethechains 20/1, Successful both completed starts in Irish points but more one for the longer term under Rules based on his pair of efforts over hurdles recently.
9th
9th (3) (40/1 -150%) Intheboriscamp
40/1(-150%)
(3) Intheboriscamp 40/1, Kalanisi gelding who was never better than mid-field when sixth of 10 in bumper at this course (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (8.5/1 -113%) Lockdown Leader
8.5/1(-113%)
(5) Lockdown Leader 8.5/1, £30,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding who ran to a fair level on debut when fourth of 10 in bumper at Newbury (16.3f, good) 42 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (150/1 -20%) Sweet Fab's
150/1(-20%)
(10) Sweet Fab's 150/1, £2,700 4-y-o, Dr Massini gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3¼m) Storm Home. No form in points, pulled up latest start (Jan 26).
|PU|
|PU| (13) (250/1 -25%) Wessington Park
250/1(-25%)
(13) Wessington Park 250/1, Pulled up on debut in a Plumpton bumper last December, and has shown nothing in both starts over hurdles recently.
LTO Selection:
12:25 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Undersupervision 1.62/1, Bought for £130,000 after winning his sole Irish point in October. Starts out under Rules in a winnable race and probably the one to beat, particularly if betting speaks for him.
2
2nd (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Everything Now
1.62/1(+19%)
(1) Everything Now 1.62/1, Fair form in novice hurdles over 2½m at Uttoxeter on his last 2 starts and his pedigree strongly suggests that this longer trip will play to his strengths.
3
3rd (3) (14/1 -40%) Ranieri
14/1(-40%)
(3) Ranieri 14/1, £31,000 buy after getting off the mark at the fourth time of asking in points in February. Market should help guide to expectations on Rules debut.
4
4th (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Wigglesworth
3.5/1(+30%)
(6) Wigglesworth 3.5/1, Placed in point and ran to fair level when third on Downpatrick hurdle bow in August. Failed to progress at first time of asking for Dr Richard Newland when fifth at Southwell but still early days.
5th
5th (4) (66/1 -65%) Sing The Anthem
66/1(-65%)
(4) Sing The Anthem 66/1, Winning pointer but looks one for handicaps later on judged on early evidence.

1
1st (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Fado Des Brosses
3.33/1(-33%)
(1) Fado Des Brosses 3.33/1, Big-money buy after winning Irish point and off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in novice at Chepstow 11 months ago. Probably needed run on chase bow last month so likely to be in the mix.
2
2nd (5) (2/1 +11%) Tobefair
2/1(+11%)
(5) Tobefair 2/1, Good Cheltenham track record and ran a lot better than on his return when fourth there 33 days ago. Likely to come on a bit more from that but hasn't made much of a splash over fences so far.
3
3rd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Sunset Showdown
3.5/1(+22%)
(3) Sunset Showdown 3.5/1, Won 3 small-field novice hurdles in the early stages of last season. Not straightforward, though did run well after 7 month off when third at Newton Abbot in October. Switches back over fences.
4
4th (2) (2.5/1 -11%) Red River
2.5/1(-11%)
(2) Red River 2.5/1, Useful hurdler who has been lightly raced over fences, strictly running below his best when third at Exeter (3m) last month. Others make greater appeal on this occasion.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Hereford Maiden Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Eclair Surf 1.75/1, Winning pointer/hurdler who (hooded) made promising start over fences when second of 9 in handicap chase over C&D 45 days ago. Still lightly raced so well in the mix.
2
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +40%) Furiously Fast
4.5/1(+40%)
(7) Furiously Fast 4.5/1, Fair hurdles winner who caught the eye when fourth on handicap chase debut at Wincanton (20f) last month, jumping well. Not taken lightly with more to come over fences.
3
3rd (1) (6/1 -71%) Guy
6/1(-71%)
(1) Guy 6/1, Much improved sent chasing this season, readily landing 20f handicap at Huntingdon before runner-up off 12 lb higher mark in 19f Wetherby handicap last time. Has more to offer so leading claims.
4
4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Subcontinent
5/1(+0%)
(5) Subcontinent 5/1, Fairly useful 21f winner over hurdles who matched that form over fences on return when fine second of 5 in 20f handicap chase at Bangor. Capable of better still so enters calculations off same mark.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (4/1 -7%) Golden Whisky
4/1(-7%)
(4) Golden Whisky 4/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who shaped as if better for run after 9 months off when fourth in 17f handicap chase at Exeter 25 days ago. Dropped 2 lb so he needs considering for in-form yard.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (28/1 -75%) Muffins For Tea
28/1(-75%)
(6) Muffins For Tea 28/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner but lightly raced nowadays and returns after wind op/11 months off. Figures on handy mark though so no forlorn hope for leading yard.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Don't Ask 28/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner at his best for Warren Greatrex. Proved disappointing over fences last term and back hurdling for new yard in 21f Cheltenham handicap last month. Needs big step forward.
1
1st (10) (1.1/1 +33%) Demopolis
1.1/1(+33%)
(10) Demopolis 1.1/1, Different proposition since tongue tied, winning twice at Ludlow last term, and resumed with excellent second of 11 in 2m Market Rasen handicap. Weighted to have a big say here nudged up just 1 lb.
2
2nd (6) (10/1 -25%) Cawthorne Lad
10/1(-25%)
(6) Cawthorne Lad 10/1, Modest Flat winner for Tim Easterby who also scored over hurdles at Catterick last term. Being brought along steadily for new yard and falling in the weights so not dismissed. Worth market check.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 +42%) Long Call
7/1(+42%)
(3) Long Call 7/1, C&D winner but he found little when fourth of 6 in 15f handicap hurdle at Wincanton 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on now with a bit to prove.
4
4th (9) (12/1 -85%) Mongol Emperor
12/1(-85%)
(9) Mongol Emperor 12/1, Winning pointer who has hinted at promise in three runs over hurdles, hood on when eighth of 10 in 2m novice at Lingfield last time. Into handicaps now so not dismissed for good yard.
5th
5th (4) (18/1 -13%) Scorpion Haze
18/1(-13%)
(4) Scorpion Haze 18/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers/novice hurdles without winning but not seen out for 20 months. Into handicaps for comeback with his fitness a clear concern.
6th
6th (7) (33/1 -32%) Rootless Tree
33/1(-32%)
(7) Rootless Tree 33/1, Fairly useful winning 2m hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies but yet to show much in two runs for new handler this term. Needs a big step forward now.
|F|
|F| (5) (5.5/1 -38%) Song Of The Hunter
5.5/1(-38%)
(5) Song Of The Hunter 5.5/1, Winning Irish pointer who made all on Taunton hurdle debut (16.5f) in March. Off since but he's open to improvement on handicap debut so not taken lightly.
|U|
|U| (8) (6/1 +57%) The Garrison
6/1(+57%)
(8) The Garrison 6/1, Opened his account in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in October but below that level subsequently, fifth of 9 in 2m handicap at Taunton 21 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

1st (1) (12/1 -85%) Thibault
12/1(-85%)
(1) Thibault 12/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Kim Bailey who came good at just the second time if asking for new yard when springing a 33/1 surprise in 20.5f Plumpton handicap 10 days ago. Penalty demands more.
2
2nd (3) (0.91/1 +39%) Sexy Lot
0.91/1(+39%)
(3) Sexy Lot 0.91/1, Looked streets ahead of her mark when landing a double in November, again easing clear at Chepstow on latest outing. May well be more to come, so still of interest despite a hefty rise.
3
3rd (4) (12/1 -71%) Winged Isle
12/1(-71%)
(4) Winged Isle 12/1, Has hinted at promise and very much caught the eye when sixth of 16 in 2m maiden hurdle at Ludlow 16 days ago, finishing well under patient ride. Interesting runner back in handicap.
4
4th (2) (16/1 -60%) Wilde Spirit
16/1(-60%)
(2) Wilde Spirit 16/1, Yet to get her head in front but placed numerous times, including when second of 8 in 21f handicap at Ludlow on her reappearance. Needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Exeter since. Cheekpieces added.
5th
5th (6) (8/1 +27%) Seymour Sox
8/1(+27%)
(6) Seymour Sox 8/1, Came good at just second time of asking in handicaps when scoring over 2m here in January. Disappointed when pulling up at Bangor the following month but does return as an unexposed sort.
6th
6th (10) (25/1 -25%) Russian Service
25/1(-25%)
(10) Russian Service 25/1, Regained winning thread over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in March but hasn't looked in much form in 2 comeback runs this autumn.
7th
7th (5) (33/1 -65%) Karakoram
33/1(-65%)
(5) Karakoram 33/1, Fair 2m winning hurdler who also proved consistent last season but he's yet to hit top form this term, held when falling two out at Warwick last time. Needs to bounce back.
8th
8th (7) (20/1 +20%) Who Shot Jr
20/1(+20%)
(7) Who Shot Jr 20/1, Winner of Taunton novice hurdle last season. Didn't shape badly on return/chase debut in September but has has disappointed since, including back hurdling latest.
9th
9th (11) (5/1 +41%) Avantgardist
5/1(+41%)
(11) Avantgardist 5/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, heavy) on return in October and was keeping on in dispute of third when badly hampered 2 out at Ludlow since. Respected.
10th
10th (12) (28/1 -75%) The Wire Flyer
28/1(-75%)
(12) The Wire Flyer 28/1, Made a sound return after 8 months off when third at Ffos Las in November, but does need to shrug off a poor run back there since.
11th
11th (9) (50/1 -100%) Chesterfield King
50/1(-100%)
(9) Chesterfield King 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler at his best. Jumping has held him back over fences since joining this yard but worth a precautionary market check back hurdling off his reduced mark.
12th
12th (13) (40/1 -21%) Enforcement
40/1(-21%)
(13) Enforcement 40/1, Just the one win to his name, gained in this sphere in March 2019. Below par over fences of late and he's probably worth taking on.

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.
