9/4(-13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Max's Champ 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off 94 at Uttoxeter last time; remains thrown in on old form; unexposed as a stayer; could follow up Winning Irish pointer; first hurdles win when back up to 2m7f last time; possible. |
|
4th (8)  (20/1 +39%)Dakota Beat |
20/1(+39%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dakota Beat 20/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here latest; generally out of form; up in trip; needs to prove ability remains Conditions suit, but well beaten since back from 230-day break and is hard to fancy. |

5th (5)  (4/1 -33%)Tartan Cookie |
4/1(-33%) |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having relished a return to an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter 17 days ago, MAX'S CHAMP makes grand appeal in his follow-up bid. The Champs Elysees gelding scored with something in hand and a 5lb higher mark could prove lenient. Although he hasn't proved the most consistent in the past, Tartan Cookie must enter calculations after scoring over C&D earlier this month. Ewan Whillans' inmate is feared most, ahead of Rumble B, who was behind in third.
Consistent RUMBLE B can reap the reward from some decent placed efforts recently by reversing C&D placings with Tartan Cookie.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having overcome a mishap at the second fence over track and trip recently, WILLIE SHAKE HANDS should have more to come in this discipline. That was the six-year-old's first outing over the larger obstacles and any improvement may see him doubling his tally. Chase debutant She Won't Mind wasn't disgraced on her latest fourth in a maiden hurdle here and she shouldn't be underestimated reverting to handicap company, while better is expected from Restandbethankful dropping in trip.
6yo WILLIE SHAKE HANDS made a positive start over fences when scoring over C&D recently and can confirm placings with Dream Jet.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Am Still Here offered plenty of encouragement when finishing a close-up second on his chase bow over C&D earlier this month and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold showing. However, it might be worth taking a punt on handicap/chase debutant CLASSICAL STING. The son of Scorpion should enjoy this step up in distance and Lewis Dobb's 7lb claim could prove crucial. Time Was is also noted.
Everything points towards this being the ideal opportunity for the recent C&D runner-up AM STILL HERE to make his breakthrough.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KICKSAFTERSIX accounted for C'Est Quelqu'un (third) when securing a double over track and trip earlier in the month and is just 5lb higher. The nine-year-old is in the form of his life and looks the one to beat. Robert d'Ores made it two wins from his last three starts over the smaller obstacles at this venue last time and is looking to prove as effective in this sphere. Of the remainder, Halfway House Lad makes the most appeal.
This can go to KICKSAFTERSIX who had several of these rivals behind him when gaining his second C&D win of the year here last time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PIKE ROAD won in a canter to get off the mark over an extended 2m7f here earlier in the month and sets the standard with a rating of 110. With a similar performance, he will prove very tough to beat. Point-to-point winner Theatre Light filled the runner-up spot at Carlisle on her first start under Rules but disappointed at Perth next time. Although, she could easily bounce back to have a say. Moveonbuy is next best.
This weak novice should be there for the taking for the recent 3m course winner PIKE ROAD. Miss Bumblebee is next best.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The vote goes to WELL EDUCATED, who landed the corresponding event from 2lb lower 12 months ago. George Bewley's charge has been running with credit over shorter trips recently so returning to this C&D is likely to aid his chance. Hardy Du Seuil and Benson haven't tasted success in a while now, but they ought to be more than competitive at this level.
In an interesting race WELL EDUCATED (nap) is taken to repeat his 2024 win, with Hardy Du Seuil and Benson his two main dangers.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Addosh sprang a surprise when winning at odds of 22/1 at Sedgefield recently and although respected under a 7lb penalty, preference is for fellow penalised runner GRAND SCHEME. Sam England's gelding bolted up at Southwell last time out and with the potential of more to come over timber, he could go in again. The consistent Socks Off should be in the mix.
Preference is for GRAND SCHEME who came home 15l clear on only his fifth start over hurdles eight days ago.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
