13:20 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +44%) Bitsnbuckles	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(4) Bitsnbuckles 9/4, Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, not knocked about turned out quickly at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. This longer trip will suit and interesting if the market speaks in his favour. May well improve now qualified for handicaps; looks quite interesting.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +29%) Sailed Away	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Sailed Away 5/1, Promising second on 2m Fakenham handicap debut and reappearance but has performed no more than respectably in his 2 outings since. Fairly consistent since handicapping for new yard; possibilities.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -100%) Naturally High	4 4/1(-100%)	(6) Naturally High 4/1, Dual handicap winner in 2021. Struggled on his next 4 outings but bounced back to form with a bang when dead-heating at Fontwell on Boxing Day, joined on the line after wandering around off the bridle. Retains plenty of handicapping scope after a 3 lb rise. Dead-heated at Fontwell on Boxing Day; remains well treated on peak form.
4	1 4th (1) (13/2 -44%) R S Ambush	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(1) R S Ambush 13/2, Fair maiden hurdler who showed he can be very competitive in handicaps when second of 8 over 19f at Carlisle (soft) last month. Should be in the mix again if showing up in similar form. Ran well upped to 2m3f at Carlisle last time; still unexposed; respected.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 -14%) Lifetime Legend	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Lifetime Legend 16/1, Built on early promise to break his duck in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February. Has dropped below that winning mark but hasn't really been showing enough to suggest he's ready to take advantage. Record is only 1-28; latest effort doesn't augur well.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 -13%) Celtic Fortune	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Celtic Fortune 9/2, Third in handicap hurdles on all 3 outings this season, including here. Threatened even more with the way he travelled over 20.5f at Market Rasen last time and this slightly shorter trip could suit. Considered. Has found some consistency this season and should go well again.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -136%) Cloudy Wednesday	33 33/1(-136%)	(12) Cloudy Wednesday 33/1, Won handicap chases at Fakenham and this venue in the first half of 2023. Not seen since a creditable third back at Fakenham in June so peak fitness has to be taken on trust on this return to hurdles. All wins in good-ground races over fences; this scenario isn't ideal.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -20%) Icarat	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Icarat 12/1, Fair form in French bumpers for Nick Littmoden but yet to make a significant impact over hurdles. Attracted market support on last month's Bangor handicap debut after wind surgery but weakened into a remote sixth. Too soon to write off but can't be supported with confidence. Disappointing on reappearance but should be capable of better.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -100%) Sallyann	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Sallyann 50/1, Completed for the first time in handicaps when fifth of 11 on Wincanton reappearance last month. Entitled to strip fitter for the outing but others are still more convincing. Needs to improve on her reappearance effort.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (28/1 +15%) Lucky So And So	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Lucky So And So 28/1, Promise in 3 novice hurdles at the start of 2022 but pulled up in all 3 handicaps since. Has lots to prove at present. Has achieved nothing in two staying handicaps back under rules.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (200/1 -506%) Equus Millar	200 200/1(-506%)	(9) Equus Millar 200/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 and not seen since finishing down the field at Ludlow 14 months ago. Can only be watched. Absent for 14 months; best watched on return to action.

LTO Selection:

13:20 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

R S AMBUSH took a nice step forward on only his second handicap start to fill the runner-up spot at Carlisle last month and he was put up 3lb for that effort. The five-year-old could have more to offer and has Luke Scott's 3lb claim aids his cause further. Naturally High was joined on the line to dead-heat for first place at Fontwell last time and is likely to have his supporters off a 3lb higher rating, while Celtic Fortune is in solid form and completes the shortlist.

Although there are doubts about CELTIC FORTUNE's application off the bridle the way he travels suggests he can win off this sort of mark and he's given one more chance now dropping slightly in trip. Naturally High surely would have won outright but for wandering around in the closing stages at Fontwell on Boxing Day and remains well treated on old form so he's second choice. Bitsnbuckles is a potential improver in handicaps and also makes the shortlist along with R S Ambush.

Unexposed R S AMBUSH is taken to build on his Carlisle effort and go one better. Naturally High is feared most.

13:50 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (11/1 -38%) Springtime Promise	11 11/1(-38%)	(11) Springtime Promise 11/1, Minor promise only so far and presumably hasn't been the easiest to train. Joined a successful stable. Won Irish points the last twice; modest claims on rules form; stable debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (1/3 +67%) Coco Mademoiselle	0.333333 1/3(+67%)	(2) Coco Mademoiselle 1/3, Off mark in Irish points and comfortably followed up in a bumper at Wetherby 9 months ago. Confirmed the promise of November's hurdles debut when landing the odds at Lingfield later that month and she'll take some stopping. Scored readily at Lingfield last time, taking overall record to 3-5; the pick on form.
3	10 3rd (10) (40/1 -21%) Rialannah	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Rialannah 40/1, Shaped better than result when ninth of 13 to Avakate in listed bumper at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) on debut a month ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes hurdles debut. Never figured in Listed bumper at Doncaster but may do better.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -213%) Moonlit Potter	25 25/1(-213%)	(6) Moonlit Potter 25/1, Showed something to work on when fourth in a bumper at Wetherby in November and given her pedigree, this distance will suit now tackling obstacles. Nicely bred mare who showed promise in Wetherby bumper; open to progress.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -186%) Baby Shally	10 10/1(-186%)	(1) Baby Shally 10/1, Point winner who made a successful start in this sphere in 7-runner novice at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy) a month ago. Could do with brushing up his jumping but she's open to progress. Bumper defeat is flanked by two wins (point/hurdle); one of the main contenders.
6th	7 6th (7) (250/1 -279%) No No Fizz	250 250/1(-279%)	(7) No No Fizz 250/1, £30,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam, fair bumper/2¼m hurdle winner, is a half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 33f) Golden Chieftain. No short-term promise on last month's debut. Cheekpieces on. Unpromising debut at Hereford; now goes in cheekpieces.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 -57%) Of Course You Can	11 11/1(-57%)	(9) Of Course You Can 11/1, Runner-up in a big-field bumper here on debut in February. Unable to match that form since and now goes up in trip switched to hurdling. Ran well in Listed grade at Doncaster on latest bumper start; shortlisted.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -100%) Giver The Hollie	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Giver The Hollie 16/1, €18,000 3-y-o, £15,000 4-y-o, Shirocco filly. Placed both completed starts in Irish points. Shaped like a stayer in her bumpers so no surprise were she to show more now hurdling up in trip. Has shown ability in Irish points and two bumpers; could go well.
9th	3 9th (3) (80/1 -142%) Ann D'arabie	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Ann D'arabie 80/1, Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser So Scottish and winning hurdler/chaser in France up to 21f Salsa d'Arabie. Beaten a fair way both hurdles starts and is probably a long-term project. Soundly beaten in both outings; handicaps more suitable shortly.
10th	5 10th (5) ( ) Harry's Hope	0 ()	(5) Harry's Hope , Off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Apr 23) but well-held sixth in novice at Ludlow on hurdling debut. Needs to take a marked step forward fitted with a tongue strap. Irish point winner; beaten long way on rules debut; now wears tongue-tie.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (100/1 -203%) Northern Reel	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Northern Reel 100/1, £38,000 buy after winning an Irish point but little to get excited about in a brace of bumpers 9 months apart. Irish point winner; minor player on her bumper form.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

COCO MADEMOISELLE was sent off at odds-on to secure her first victory over the smaller obstacles by an easy 11 lengths at Lingfield in November and that was a pleasant step forward from her debut effort. The daughter of Doyen has been handed a rating of 121 after that display and can shoulder her 7lb penalty to success. The main threat might be hurdle debutant Giver The Hollie, who was placed in a bumper at Wetherby last time and could prove a different proposition in this sphere. Of the remainder, Moonlit Potter appeals most.

COCO MADEMOISELLE landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Lingfield last month and a penalty is unlikely to prevent the follow up. Baby Shally also won last time and can do better, particularly if brushing up her jumping, with Giver The Hollie another to note.

On hurdles form, COCO MADEMOISELLE has the best chance ahead of Baby Shally. Some of the hurdles debutantes are interesting.

14:20 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1/4 +43%) Tellherthename	0.25 1/4(+43%)	(2) Tellherthename 1/4, £200,000 buy who confirmed his hurdling debut promise when he landed the odds with the minimum of fuss over C&D in November. Lost action when pulled up in Aintree Grade 1 last time. Sets a useful standard. Best to forgive his Grade 1 effort on Boxing Day; solid win over C&D the time before.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +17%) Dartmoor Pirate	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Dartmoor Pirate 5/1, Offered something to work on when seventh in a valuable bumper at Newbury on his debut in March. Failed to progress at Chepstow on return but created a good impression when easily landing 18-runner Wincanton maiden (15.2f) on hurdling bow last month. Sure to progress. Easy winner at Wincanton switched to hurdles; open to further progress.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -80%) Home Free	6 6/1(-80%)	(3) Home Free 6/1, Plenty of promise when placed in a couple of bumpers last season. Rates a nice hurdle prospect for his leading stable. Clear promise in two bumpers last winter; interesting on reappearance.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -150%) Wise Guy	50 50/1(-150%)	(6) Wise Guy 50/1, Point winner who shaped with some promise in a Bangor bumper/maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Still in touch when slipping up between 4 out and 3 out at Fakenham in November and has been given a breathing operation since. Has something to find on his completed rules form.
5th	4 5th (4) (200/1 -300%) Je Suis Sacre	200 200/1(-300%)	(4) Je Suis Sacre 200/1, Has a good pedigree but looked one for later on when well held on last month's hurdling debut at Plumpton. Unpromising debut at Plumpton last month.
6th	5 6th (5) (250/1 -400%) Protector Pete	250 250/1(-400%)	(5) Protector Pete 250/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/fair chaser Petrastar but has only hinted at ability on his completed start over hurdles. Modest fifth in claiming grade last time.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TELLHERTHENAME lost his action when being pulled up at Grade 1 level at Aintree last month. Prior to that, he gave a good beating to Lucky Place, who was a subsequent winner in fine style at Doncaster, and the son of Malinas could prove very hard to beat back in a minor novice event, even with a 6lb penalty to carry. Dartmoor Pirate can give him the most to think about after his victory at Wincanton last time, while Home Free is an interesting contender making his hurdle debut.

TELLHERTHENAME ran out a ready winner in a race that's worked out well over C&D in November and, with his latest effort easily excused (lost action), he's fancied to defy a penalty. Home Free rates a good hurdling prospect having shown plenty in a brace of bumpers last winter, while Dartmoor Pirate also looks promising judged on the manner of his Wincanton hurdling debut success.

Back down in class, TELLHERTHENAME has strong claims. Home Free (second choice) and Dartmoor Pirate are the other main players.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 -166%) Kabral Du Mathan	3.333333 10/3(-166%)	(1) Kabral Du Mathan 10/3, Made a winning debut in juvenile hurdle at Clairefontaine (17f, soft) in July. Hood worn on that occasion is left off now starting out for Paul Nicholls. Solid claims. Battled well to win sole French start (2m1f, very soft); open to progress in Britain.
2	4 2nd (4) (17/2 +39%) Latin Verse	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(4) Latin Verse 17/2, Fair Flat winner for Ralph Beckett. Struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in Catterick juvenile in November (only run for Syd Hosie), but disappointed at Aintree last time. Latest effort exposes his limitations to an extent.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/8 +60%) Kartoon And Co	1.625 13/8(+60%)	(3) Kartoon And Co 13/8, Half-brother to French chaser Hurry Up and made a successful start in 4-runner event at Stratford in October. Subsequent second at Market Rasen was every bit as promising and he sets the standard. Won well at Stratford then clear second at Market Rasen; in the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (200/1 -300%) Blue Universe	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Blue Universe 200/1, Fair Flat winner who was fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Doesn't look an obvious sort for hurdling, however, and this is a tricky starting point. Hurdles newcomer who brings limited potential on Flat form.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/4 +21%) Soigneux Bell	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(5) Soigneux Bell 11/4, Flat winner who stepped forward from previous hurdling efforts when readily off the mark at Fontwell a month ago. More required in this stronger race. Improving sort whose yard has won this race for the last two years.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -100%) Whispering Royal	7 7/1(-100%)	(6) Whispering Royal 7/1, Fair Flat winner who built on the promise of his hurdling debut when off the mark in a juvenile at Doncaster last time. Could step forward again. Made all at Doncaster last month; one of the main contenders.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Huntingdon Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Kartoon And Co finished a creditable second under a penalty at Market Rasen last month, having been on target at Stratford on his debut, and he is likely to prove popular once more, along with Clairefontaine scorer Kabral Du Mathan, who merits respect on his first start for the Paul Nicholls team. That said, Gary Moore has landed the two previous renewals and so SOIGNEUX BELL, who put it all together when romping home at Fontwell last time, gets the vote.

KARTOON AND CO sets the standard and there's more to come, so he's fancied to double his tally for all that Kabral du Mathan makes plenty of appeal debuting for Paul Nicholls after a successful start in France. Whispering Royal isn't without a chance, either.

The percentage call goes to SOIGNEUX BELL, ahead of Whispering Royal. Ex-French Kabral Du Mathan has to overcome a big penalty.

14:50 Huntingdon Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:20 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +29%) Mixedwave	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(4) Mixedwave 5/2, Scored at Market Rasen (disqualifed for rider's overuse of whip) before posting a good second of 5 in handicap chase there (23.9f, heavy) 36 days ago. Must enter calculations. First past the post in three of his eight attempts over fences; consistent; should go well.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 -11%) Felton Bellevue	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(3) Felton Bellevue 10/3, Arrives in very good nick, fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb. In-form contender who has clear possibilities off a handy mark with Harry Cobden booked.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 -189%) Twenty Twenty	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(1) Twenty Twenty 13/2, Fairly useful chaser who got right back on track with win in 11-runner handicap chase (20/1) at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) 24 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite a 5 lb rise. Bounced back to form at Wincanton last month and still looks favourably treated.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +50%) Voice Of Hope	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Voice Of Hope 10/1, Winning hurdler in Ireland but remains a poor maiden over fences. Easily passed over from 3 lb out of the handicap. Good second over C&D last March but recent form is less encouraging.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (16/1 +36%) Freethinker	16 16/1(+36%)	(7) Freethinker 16/1, Dual winner at Newcastle in early-2022 but well below par all 4 outings since, including over fences on last 2 occasions. Hard to warm to. Two hurdles wins in 2022; achieved nothing in 2023, latterly over fences.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (11/1 -38%) River Tyne	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) River Tyne 11/1, Had wind op and tongue strap on for 1st time when pulled up in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. May bounce back with reappearance under her belt but remains a maiden under rules.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (16/5 -16%) Mullys Choice	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(5) Mullys Choice 16/5, Points runner-up but only modest form shown in three runs over hurdles, seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Makes chase debut stepping up in trip and could still do better. Likely improver now handicapping and switched to chasing; interesting off mark of just 90.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

TWENTY TWENTY was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when winning at Wincanton last month, so a subsequent 5lb rise might not be enough to prevent the nine-year-old from following up. Connections have wasted no time in sending Mullys Choice over the larger obstacles which makes him of considerable interest, while Mixedwave and Felton Bellevue appeal most of the remainder.

FELTON BELLEVUE figures on a handy-looking mark so is taken to gain a deserved success at the chief expense of in-form duo Mixedwave and Twenty Twenty who can chase home Ben Case's 9-y-o in that order.

Judged on his solid Irish point effort, MULLYS CHOICE looks very interesting switched to chasing. Felton Bellevue is second choice.

1	5 1st (5) (11/4 +21%) Jacks Touch	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(5) Jacks Touch 11/4, Record mixed over hurdles but more like it switched to chasing, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in mares' handicap at Fakenham (21.2f, heavy) 24 days ago, impressing with her jumping and responding well when tackled. Expected to go well again from 3 lb higher. Has form figures of 4131 (in Class 5) since switched to chasing; may improve further.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Terresita	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Terresita 3/1, Won 3 times as a novice hurdler in 2021/22 season. Drew a blank in handicap hurdles last season and now tries her luck over fences back from 8 months off. Possibilities off a handy mark provided she takes well to fences on reappearance.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/8 +35%) Blue Beach	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(4) Blue Beach 13/8, Bumper/fair winning hurdler who enhanced her form when runner-up in competitive mares' handicap at Newbury (20.5f) last spring. Promise to glean from last month's chase debut third at Exeter and likely there's more to come now handicapping in this sphere. Hurdles winner at this track; ran well at Exeter on the switch to fences; respected.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -57%) Shirocco's Dream	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(2) Shirocco's Dream 11/2, Has gone well fresh previously and enhanced that statistic back from 6 months off/following wind op when beating 7-rivals at Hereford (25.2f) in November, making all and value for extra. Found things tougher in class 2 company next time and back down in trip now. This scenario isn't ideal, having gained both chase wins at about 3m on good going.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -651%) Uptown Lady	25 25/1(-651%)	(1) Uptown Lady 25/1, Novice hurdle winner at Warwick in February 2021. Very lightly raced since, albeit showing promise on second chase attempt when third at Ffos Las (23.8f) in March. Absent again subsequently, so the betting may prove a useful guide here. Lightly raced; interesting off a reduced mark back down in distance on reappearance.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to BLUE BEACH, who shaped with promise on her chasing bow/seasonal return last month, finishing third, and natural improvement ought to make Mel Rowley's charge a solid contender today. Shirocco's Dream struggled in a warm class 2 event at Hereford on her latest outing but she must be of interest now eased in grade, along with Jacks Touch, who made it two wins from her last three when winning at Fakenham 24 days ago.

Boasting a steadily progressive profile over hurdles, BLUE BEACH produced a promising first effort over fences when third in novice company at Exeter 3 weeks ago. Entitled to improve now handicapping up in trip, she earns the vote to come out on top. Jacks Touch has thrived for a switch to chasing, landing 2 of her last 3 starts and she rates the chief threat.

Back at the scene of her hurdles win, BLUE BEACH (nap) holds particularly strong claims. Jacks Touch is second choice.

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.
