1st (4)  (8.5/1 -143%)Father Of Jazz |
8.5/1(-143%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Father Of Jazz 8.5/1, Useful Flat winner for Roger Varian and made a promising start hurdling when second at Huntingdon (2m) in December. Disappointing seventh in 2 outings since and now sets out for a new trainer having left Dan Skelton. Hooded for the first time over hurdles. Useful Flat horse and major claims with a repeat of his Huntingdon second.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +46%)Classic Anthem |
3.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Classic Anthem 3.5/1, Expensive recruit from the Irish pointing field who offered something to work on when 13 lengths fifth of 11 in a course bumper in February. Makes hurdle debut. Point winner; beaten 13l in a bumper here but was that fairly encouraging.. |
|||
3rd (11)  (16/1 +36%)State Of Bliss |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) State Of Bliss 16/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for the Johnston stable but ran to only a poor level when beaten around 25 lengths into fifth on his Huntingdon hurdle debut. May strip fitter for that first outing in 6 months but a watching brief is still advised. Flat winner; soft ground was probably no help when well held on hurdling debut.. |
|||
4th (3)  (5.5/1 +45%)Duhallow Tommy |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Duhallow Tommy 5.5/1, Runner-up in a point and made it third time lucky in bumpers at Fontwell in January. Well beaten under a penalty at Taunton since but ought to be competitive in a race like this now hurdling. Won a bumper but looks vulnerable on this switch to hurdling.. |
|||
5th (7)  (7.5/1 -50%)Moonshine Spirit |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moonshine Spirit 7.5/1, In the frame on all 3 bumper starts and made a sound start to his hurdle career when fourth of 12 in maiden at Chepstow (19.5f) in February. Open to improvement. Fading fourth over 2m3f last time but back in trip and bumper efforts were good.. |
|||
6th (10)  (22/1 -22%)Satono Japan |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Satono Japan 22/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1½m) for Sir Michael Stoute but below par on AW yard debut in November. Now switches to hurdles after a break. Always in rear when ninth on his stable debut on the AW (1m4f) in November.. |
|||
7th (9)  (28/1 -180%)Royal Max |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Royal Max 28/1, In top hands but hasn't achieved any better than modest form in 2 bumpers/maiden hurdles. Still early days but Iolaos du Mou has to be considered the yard first string. Not that competitive in four runs divided between bumpers and maiden hurdles.. |
|||
8th (5)  (14/1 +30%)He's A Latchico |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) He's A Latchico 14/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) but a remote fifth in 2 C&D novices since switching to hurdles. Triple Flat winner; beaten more than 40l in two novice hurdles here.. |
|||
9th (1)  (150/1 -200%)Armadar |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Armadar 150/1, Modest form at best in bumpers. Likely outsider on hurdle debut. His debut in bumpers was not without promise but struggled afterwards.. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (1.88/1 +37%)Iolaos Du Mou |
1.88/1(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Iolaos Du Mou 1.88/1, Overcame greenness to make a winning bumper debut at Newbury in November. Not in the same form when only sixth here nearly 4 months later but retains potential now hurdling for a top stable. Won his first bumper but was ordinary in the second; should make a hurdler.. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (150/1 -50%)Patrioctic |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Patrioctic 150/1, No form on the Flat. Can only be watched now hurdling. Seven-race Flat maiden despite keeping ordinary company in handicaps; makes no appeal.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
5/1 (7) MOONSHINE SPIRIT is the most promising based on the summary. The horse has been consistent in bumpers and made a sound start to the hurdle career, finishing fourth in a maiden at Chepstow. The horse is also open to improvement.
Father Of Jazz failed to fire on two subsequent appearances since posting an encouraging hurdling debut at Huntingdon in December and he may be worth taking on having left the Dan Skelton yard. Moonshine Spirit wasn't disgraced on his first appearance over timber when finishing fourth at Chepstow in February and he warrants consideration. The vote, however, goes to Nicky Henderson's IOLAOS DU MOU, who faced a stiff task when carrying a penalty in a bumper here last time but he looks to have a great chance first time over obstacles.
Although Nicky Henderson's IOLAOS DU MOU failed to fire in a course bumper last time his Newbury win prior to that was promising and he's taken to bounce back and strike on hurdle debut. Moonshine Spirit is open to progress on the back of a sound opening effort over timber and is second choice ahead of Fontwell bumper winner Duhallow Tommy.
On quickening ground and in the hope that he will settle better in the hood, FATHER OF JAZZ earns preference.

1st (7)  (18/1 -50%)Hidden Depths |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hidden Depths 18/1, Multiple Flat/hurdles winner, successful in latter sphere over in Jersey in August and not disgraced under either code since, fourth at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. Absent since and interesting what the betting makes of him now chasing on return. Exposed and has left it late to go over fences but this mark is manageable.. |
|||
2nd (3)  (12/1 -41%)Balko Saint |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Balko Saint 12/1, Dual winner over hurdles last term (including here) and produced best effort yet over fences when second in 5-runner Wincanton handicap (20f) in February, some late errors catching him out. Best excused latest run over hurdles and not out of things from this mark back over fences. Went close at Wincanton (2m4f, good) on his final chase start despite jumping issues.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/1 -11%)Name In Lights |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Name In Lights 10/1, Dual hurdles winner at around 2m who is a rangy chasing type but his jumping let him down in 2 starts in this sphere back in February. Does remain early days if a short break has had positive effect. Disappointed, including with his jumping, on chase debut at Fontwell.. |
|||
4th (6)  (1.38/1 +54%)Telhimlisten |
1.38/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Telhimlisten 1.38/1, Progressed well from a low base over hurdles, completing quick-fire 4-timer at Huntingdon (15.8f) in March. Quickly made amends for Sedgefield chase debut spill (looked likely winner) when making all at Plumpton (19.8f) 8 days ago and he remains open to improvement now starting out for new yard. Improving fast and off the same mark as for last week's Plumpton win; new yard.. |
|||
5th (2)  (3/1 -20%)Dreaming Blue |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dreaming Blue 3/1, Justified support from a falling mark to open his chase account at Doncaster (20.5f) in March and, despite a mixed round of jumping, matched that form when third at Wincanton 26 days ago, running on. Expected to be thereabouts again for yard in tremendous form. Appeared to run his race when third off this mark at Wincanton; can go well again.. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (11/1 -38%)Bagheera Ginge |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bagheera Ginge 11/1, 5-y-o who proved steadily progressive in maiden/novice hurdles, off the mark at third attempt at Stratford (18.6f) in August prior to readily defying a penalty at Newton Abbot (21.5f) a month later. Had winning run ended on handicap debut in October but he could yet have more to offer now chasing. A clearcut winner from the front in two minor novice hurdles; should make a chaser.. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (12/1 -100%)Hector Jaguen |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hector Jaguen 12/1, Maiden hurdler who came good at the fourth attempt over fences at Fontwell (17.7f) on penultimate start and looked sure to go close when unseating last at Plumpton (17f) 3 week ago (saddle slipped on landing 3 out). Still, this does look a more demanding assignment. Off the mark when beating four rivals at Fontwell and perhaps unlucky at Plumpton.. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (12/1 +0%)Full Of Light |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Full Of Light 12/1, Bumper winner who displayed fair form when adding pair of hurdle victories (at around 20f) to his tally last season. However, has become rather disappointing over both sets of obstacles subsequently, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton in February. Tough to assess. Twice failed to take to chasing last season and his return to hurdles was a quiet one.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone. However, 2.5/1 (2) DREAMING BLUE and 3/1 (6) TELHIMLISTEN seem to have recent form and potential for further improvement. 6/1 (8) HECTOR JAGUEN and 8.5/1 (3) BALKO SAINT also have some potential but may face tougher competition. The remaining horses have either had disappointing recent form or are relatively untested in this sphere.
TELHIMLISTEN escapes a penalty having won a conditional jockeys' event over fences last Sunday and he looks the one to beat if resuming his progress now under the tutelage of Stuart Coltherd. Hector Jaguen still held every chance when unseating his rider late on at Plumpton last month and a 2lb rise should see him remaining competitive. Connections of the lightly-raced Bagheera Ginge have wasted little time in getting him over the larger obstacles and he's another to note.
TELHIMLISTEN has thrived on his racing in recent weeks, completing a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles and quickly dispelling his chase debut mishap when making all in this sphere at Plumpton 8 days ago. He can continue the good work on debut for his new yard with further progress anticipated. Dreaming Blue for the red-hot Anthony Honeyball stable is next best, ahead of Hector Jaguen.
Provided he can hold his form for a new yard then the good times can continue for TELHIMLISTEN.

1st (1)  (0.5/1 +45%)Ajp Kingdom |
0.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ajp Kingdom 0.5/1, Bangor bumper winner last autumn and plenty of promise when runner-up in novice hurdles over C&D and at Ludlow. Edged out only near the finish at latter on recent return from 5 months off and can go one better now. Solid form credentials on the back of two seconds over this far.. |
|||
2nd (7)  (8/1 +60%)Much Too Dear |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Much Too Dear 8/1, Runner-up in a bumper last spring but hasn't achieved enough in 3 maiden hurdles this spring to suggest he's likely to play a prominent role here. 0-6 now and looks vulnerable kept to maiden company.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (8.5/1 +6%)Destroytheevidence |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Destroytheevidence 8.5/1, Fair form in a couple of bumpers this year (third at Doncaster latterly) and this longer trip should suit now hurdling. Place claims. Beaten under 10l in his two bumpers and likely to make a better hurdler; respected.. |
|||
4th (5)  (5.5/1 +8%)Jemura |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jemura 5.5/1, Point winner but could only finish sixth in bumpers this spring. In good hands but still best watched now hurdling. Modest bumper form but should go on to better things over hurdles for his leading yard.. |
|||
5th (6)  (10/1 +44%)Joe Cotton |
10/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Joe Cotton 10/1, Arrives on the back of 2 point wins this spring. The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling. Won two points since February (over 2m4f) but probably up against it on his hurdling debut. |
|||
6th (8)  (150/1 -127%)My Gift To You |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) My Gift To You 150/1, Just poor form in a brace of bumpers and always behind on his completed start over hurdles. Hints of ability in bumpers but has shown next to nothing over hurdles.. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (80/1 -21%)Starvidov |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Starvidov 80/1, No real impact in bumpers and a maiden hurdle. Tailed off in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle (good); hard to recommend.. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (100/1 -100%)Bombay Sunset |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bombay Sunset 100/1, Second in point bumper (May 2022) but well beaten in a couple of bumpers under Rules this year. Makes hurdle debut. Bumper efforts were forgettable and one to watch now hurdling.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, 0.91/1 (1) AJP KINGDOM and 4/1 (2) ASTRONOMIC VIEW appear to have the best chances of doing well. 0.91/1 (1) AJP KINGDOM has solid credentials with two seconds over the same distance and finished second recently after a 5-month break. 4/1 (2) ASTRONOMIC VIEW has won a bumper and had a positive hurdling debut, but may prefer softer ground. The other horses either have modest or poor form or are making their hurdle debut.
AJP KINGDOM lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive Space Voyage too good at Ludlow last month and this rates a suitable opportunity for the Fergal O'Brien-trained inmate to gain a first career success over hurdles. Astronomic View offered something to work with when finishing third on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las in November and the six-year-old is feared most. Destroytheevidence and Jemura both make their debuts over timber and complete the shortlist.
AJP KINGDOM has made a promising start to his hurdle career and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. Astronomic View has been absent again since his hurdle debut third back in November but still looks the obvious main threat ahead of Destroytheevidence, who should be suited by the longer trip now hurdling.
Not a strong maiden and AJP KINGDOM earns the vote after two encouraging efforts at this trip.

1st (3)  (4/1 -14%)Latitude |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Latitude 4/1, Point/bumper winner who took another step forward when readily taking a 6-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f) in March. 6 lb higher now but he remains open to improvement in this sphere. Value for more than a 6lb rise for Ludlow win latest (3m, good to soft); major player.. |
|||
2nd (10)  (10/1 -25%)Duc De Beauchene |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Duc De Beauchene 10/1, Has gradually found his form in recent months and travelled/jumped well when scoring with any amount in hand under Jack Tudor at Wincanton (25f) recently. Up 11 lb for that but has won off higher marks than this in the past. Still on a good mark despite an 11lb rise for Wincanton win latest; may not want a dryout.. |
|||
3rd (8)  (16/1 -14%)Up The Straight |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Up The Straight 16/1, Bagged a 2½m Sandown handicap chase last spring but this 9-y-o hard to recommend based on what he's shown in 4 subsequent appearances. Sandown novices' handicap chase scorer a year ago; out of form latterly (hurdles latest).. |
|||
4th (6)  (16/1 +36%)Dorking Lad |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dorking Lad 16/1, Resumed winning ways in a 20.5f Kempton handicap in November, drawing right away to score by 16 lengths. Has failed to complete on each of his 3 subsequent outings, though, and Movethechains appears to be the stable No 1. Never looked happy in the Topham latest; others have more demonstrable form over 3m.. |
|||
5th (2)  (8.5/1 -6%)Good Boy Bobby |
8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Good Boy Bobby 8.5/1, Successful twice at Wetherby during 2021/22 campaign, including the Rowland Meyrick. Largely below par since but latest effort at Ludlow at least represented a small step back in the right direction and he has slipped to a dangerous mark. Has become well handicapped, and better than bare form latest; no trip/ground issues.. |
|||
6th (5)  (33/1 -106%)Forgot To Ask |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Forgot To Ask 33/1, Decisive winner off this mark on the back of a similar break at Stratford (27.5f) last May. However, his latest effort at Ludlow in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Ludlow in November was poor and, in any case, this demands a clear career-best. Below par last autumn but proven fresh, and a sound surface would be appreciated.. |
|||
7th (1)  (6/1 -33%)Danny Kirwan |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Danny Kirwan 6/1, All wins on right-handed tracks and ran up to best when runner-up in valuable Ascot handicap (23.8f) in October. Came down at same course last time but will be a player if that fall hasn't left a mark. Second in this last year, and Ascot second next time was better form again; chance.. |
|||
8th (4)  (12/1 +33%)Sporting John |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sporting John 12/1, Not the force of old (Grade 1 novice chase winner) and it's been pretty much downhill all the way since he last got his head in front at Warwick in January 2022. Mostly well out of sorts during 2022-23 campaign, including dropped to Class 3 latest.. |
|||
9th (9)  (18/1 +28%)Kap Auteuil |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kap Auteuil 18/1, Healthy strike rate over fences, winner of 6 of his 18 starts in this sphere. Creditable second over 20.5f here in January but pulled up both starts either side of that and he now has some pretty serious questions to answer. 11lb below last winning chase mark; jumping issues in that sphere most recently.. |
|||
|F| (12)  (16/1 -14%)Twenty Twenty |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Twenty Twenty 16/1, Regained the winning thread when getting on top close home to land a 3-runner C&D handicap last April but wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 12-month absence. Jamie Moore prefers Movethechains. Third in a thinner renewal of this in 2022 (just behind Danny Kirwan), and absent since.. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (3/1 +40%)Hiway One O Three |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Hiway One O Three 3/1, Rattled off a quick hat-trick over hurdles last spring. Came good at the third time of asking over fences when pulling 14 lengths clear at Market Rasen in February. Decent runner-up efforts both starts since and should be in the mix again. Neck second upped to a stayer's trip latest; remains in form, but maybe a bit more needed.. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (12/1 +14%)Movethechains |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Movethechains 12/1, Highly-progressive chaser last season who completed a 4-timer (all by 12 lengths or more) in 3m handicaps at Lingfield. Jumping has lacked fluency all 3 starts since returning to action in December but he would have a fighting chance if on-song. 4-5 at Lingfield versus 0-7 elsewhere; soft ground hard to blame at Sandown latest.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Based on the summary, 5/1 (11) HIWAY ONE O THREE and 8/1 (10) DUC DE BEAUCHENE appear to be strong contenders, with both having recent good form. 14/1 (7) MOVETHECHAINS is also a potential winner, although its recent form has been inconsistent. 8/1 (2) GOOD BOY BOBBY and 16/1 (5) FORGOT TO ASK could also be dark horses, with both having the potential to surprise if they perform to their best.
Duc De Beauchene finally put it together over fences when scoring at Wincanton last month, but an 11lb rise from the handicapper does make life tougher. With that in mind, the vote goes to LATITUDE, who has conditions very much in his favour, having been pulled out here last week along with Danny Kirwan on account of softer ground, following his Ludlow success in March. The aforementioned Danny Kirwan was also popular in the betting market on that occasion and is feared on this surface, while Good Boy Bobby has been given a chance by the handicapper.
LATITUDE and Duc de Beauchene could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter coasted home at Wincanton recently and, still feasibly treated despite going up 11 lb, he is not passed over at all lightly. However, the up-and-coming Latitude probably has more to offer on the back of his clear-cut Ludlow success and he is marginally preferred. Several make each-way appeal, with Good Boy Bobby just about the pick of them ahead of Danny Kirwan and Hiway One O Three.
This can go to the steadily maturing LATITUDE, very convincing over this trip last time, ahead of the well-treated Good Boy Bobby.

1st (12)  (4.5/1 +68%)Godot |
4.5/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Godot 4.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft, 2/1) 21 days ago, comfortably. Feasibly treated, back handicapping, and must enter calculations. Recent Plumpton maiden winner; has come up short in handicaps off lower marks.. |
|||
2nd (15)  (25/1 +0%)Denable |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Denable 25/1, Dual winner (at up to 16f) last summer who returned to form when third of 10 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. This looks tougher, though. In form but strike-rate of 2-32 reduces his appeal in this deep a handicap.. |
|||
3rd (5)  (50/1 -127%)Salley Gardens |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Salley Gardens 50/1, Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and perfect start over fences at Southwell last summer. However, pulled up in a handicap chase at Stratford when last seen 8 months ago and resumes in this sphere on no more than an average mark. Returns from 252 days off but needs a close look back over hurdles.. |
|||
4th (8)  (6.5/1 +59%)Invincible Nao |
6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Invincible Nao 6.5/1, French juvenile hurdle winner last spring who produced his best effort yet on these shores when third in a Fontwell handicap (21.8f, good) in February. Ran to a similar level when third at Huntingdon since and holds each-way claims. Placed last time but over shorter and this trip seemed to stretch him two runs ago.. |
|||
5th (9)  (22/1 -57%)Give Me A Cuddle |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Give Me A Cuddle 22/1, Bagged second success in this sphere at Doncaster in January and recorded a good fourth there (19.4f) on penultimate start. Well beaten at Kelso since, however, and makes limited appeal. Not threatened in three runs since his Doncaster success in January; now tongue tied.. |

6th (14)  (3.33/1 +63%)Sami Bear |
3.33/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sami Bear 3.33/1, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap hurdle (5/2) over C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago, edging ahead again on line after steadying into last. 4 lb higher mark to contend with now but merits consideration. C&D winner in March; has his quirks but Freddie Gordon knows him well.. |
|||
7th (6)  (11/1 +8%)Moveit Like Minnie |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moveit Like Minnie 11/1, An improved performer in a tongue strap last term, resuming winning ways at Huntingdon (20.5f) in January before an excellent third in a better quality event back there in February. His run of good form came to a grinding halt here last time, though. Probably unsuited by soft ground over C&D in March and progressive otherwise.. |
|||
8th (11)  (22/1 +33%)Kilfilum Woods |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Kilfilum Woods 22/1, Six-race maiden who was unable to build on his promising chase debut in 2 subsequent outings. Bit to prove back hurdling in first-time cheekpieces. Had wind operation. Competitive mark and returns to hurdling after wind surgery and in first-time cheekpieces.. |
|||
9th (7)  (14/1 +30%)Runswick Bay |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Runswick Bay 14/1, Back on track, returned to smaller obstacles, when second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and can make presence felt again. Winning chaser who returned to hurdling with a solid effort in defeat at Fontwell.. |
|||
10th (13)  (14/1 +13%)Cherry Cola |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Cherry Cola 14/1, Back from 6 months off when good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for the shortlist. 0-8 over hurdles; hung left late on when second at Plumpton (2m4f, good).. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (5.5/1 +45%)Magistrato |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Magistrato 5.5/1, Fairly useful winning juvenile hurdler in 2021-22. Not in same form in 3 outings last term but is in good hands and warrants respect upped in trip off a reduced mark here. Not solid on last season's exploits but he's down the weights and could bounce back.. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (9/1 -6%)Jaramillo |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jaramillo 9/1, Quirky performer who opened his account over hurdles when taking 8-runner handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) 67 days ago. 6 lb higher now, however, and remains to be seen if he can reproduce that form. Came good from the front at Sedgefield and stepping up in distance seemed to help.. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (16/1 +36%)Ballyhome |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ballyhome 16/1, Not scored in this sphere since 2020 and arrives on back of below-par effort at Market Rasen. Appears to retain plenty of his ability for a 12yo and has form here.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
I am an AI language model and do not have personal biases or the ability to predict future events. It is recommended to carefully analyze each horse's past performance and current form before making a prediction.
QUEENS ROCK proved to be well ahead of the assessor when an easy winner on her handicap bow at Doncaster in February. The fact connections were going to run the daughter of Shirocco in a Listed contest at Cheltenham last month suggests an 11lb rise may not stop her. Breaking Waves has the ability to be competitive and may also benefit from a change of scenery, despite being more consistent than usual in the autumn. Others to note include Runswick Bay and Sami Bear.
There should be more to come from QUEENS ROCK, who won with the minimum of fuss on handicap debut at Doncaster in February. Cherry Cola and Sami Bear arrive in good form and head the list of dangers.
Nicky Henderson's QUEENS ROCK did it very comfortably at Doncaster and probably has a lot more to offer.

1st (4)  (8/1 +0%)Mercian Prince |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mercian Prince 8/1, Veteran campaigner who got back to winning ways over hurdles in France last June and enhanced his fine course record when landing 6-runner C&D handicap in October. Fact he's gone well fresh a plus ahead of this but this does look more demanding. Front-runner who enhanced his good record at this track; being fresh is no bad thing.. |
|||
2nd (3)  (6/1 -50%)Jay Jay Reilly |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jay Jay Reilly 6/1, Low-mileage sort who did remarkably well to overcome a bad error to open his chase account over C&D in February. Found out in Grade 2 company next time but quickly back to winning ways in 4-runner Market Rasen handicap 3 weeks ago. Can't be ruled out from revised mark. The winner of two handicaps on either side of struggling in a Grade 2; thereabouts.. |
|||
3rd (1)  (2.25/1 +25%)Red Rookie |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Red Rookie 2.25/1, Lighlty campaigned this term, returning to pick of his form when landing 6-runner Warwick handicap (16.2f, heavy) 32 days ago, forging clear for pressure. That form has a solid look and no surprise to see another good showing from 4 lb higher mark. Won comfortably off 4lb lower at Warwick but quicker conditions here are a concern.. |
|||
4th (7)  (6.5/1 +59%)Only Money |
6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Only Money 6.5/1, Gained fourth success over fences at Worcester (16.5f) in October and placed next 2 starts, runner-up to a progressive, younger rival at Newbury in November. Reportedly bled there next time, however, and type to bounce back. Back from a break under ideal conditions, he's a strong candidate.. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/1 -25%)Before Midnight |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Before Midnight 5/1, Multiple chase winner for this yard who quickly confirmed himself back in good form when midfield in Red Rum handicap at Aintree (15.8f) 18 days ago. This ease in class a plus and he's equally as effective going right handed. Not out of things. Will enjoy the ground but not really firing as he can at present.. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (5/1 +0%)Dolos |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dolos 5/1, All 5 chase victories have been gained right-handed and he comes here having not been disgraced when fifth in 9-runner Ascot handicap (16.7f) 4 weeks ago. Handicapper has afforded him a chance if he can build on that here. On a good mark if anywhere near his best but reservations at the minute.. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (9/1 -20%)Not Available |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Not Available 9/1, Responded well to refitting of blinkers around the turn of the year, landing back-to-back handicaps at Wincanton/Chepstow. Penultimate run at Newbury best overlooked (suffered tack problem) and quickly back to winning ways in first-time visor at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. This tougher from 7 lb higher. Needed plenty of cajoling before coming clear in the first-time visor at Chepstow.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Based on the summary, 16/1 (7) ONLY MONEY Back seems like a strong candidate as he has won multiple races over fences and has a good recent record of being placed in races. Additionally, he is coming back from a break under ideal conditions which could give him an advantage. However, 5/1 (2) DOLOS and 8.5/1 (4) MERCIAN PRINCE also have decent records and could potentially do well.
RED ROOKIE won with plenty in hand over 2m at Warwick 32 days ago and he is hard to oppose on the back of that performance off just a 4lb higher mark. Before Midnight has been highly tried in recent starts and he should not be underestimated at this level, while Not Available and Jay Jay Reilly are others with valid form claims.
RED ROOKIE comes here relatively fresh for this time of the year and having proved strong at the line when resuming winning ways at Warwick in March, he could well be up to defying a 4 lb higher mark on that evidence. Jay Jay Reilly and Before Midnight are just a couple of others to consider in what rates a competitive race of its type.
The 9yo ONLY MONEY (nap) returns from a break under his optimum conditions and, prior to his final start, last season was a good one.

1st (3)  (5.5/1 -10%)Young Butler |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Young Butler 5.5/1, Dual 2m4f hurdles scorer in 2021/22 who posted best effort for some time when third of 15 in handicap at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Claims if in same form again. Quirky but finished well to make the frame in a strong 3m handicap at Haydock.. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 +0%)Island Run |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Island Run 4.5/1, Back to winning ways at Wincanton (24.7f) in March and shaped better than distance beaten when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, soft, 7/2) 38 days ago. Enters calculations. Latest run too bad to be true but looked progressive the time before at Wincanton.. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7.5/1 +25%)One For The Wall |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) One For The Wall 7.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser but still looking for first success after 11 attempts and arrives on back of poor effort at Plumpton. His second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) was encouraging but not his following effort there.. |
|||
4th (2)  (1.5/1 +33%)King's Threshold |
1.5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) King's Threshold 1.5/1, Promising individual who posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 20 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and step up in trip may bring about further improvement. Needed every yard of the 2m5f to win an Exeter handicap (good to soft) 20 days ago.. |
|||
5th (9)  (18/1 +18%)Beaufort West |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Beaufort West 18/1, Arrives below par, only ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) last month. Back up in trip with work to do. Has to steady the ship after two poor runs; tongue-tie tried last time is now left off.. |
|||
6th (6)  (6.5/1 +46%)Shot Boii |
6.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shot Boii 6.5/1, Completed a hat-trick around 3m before Christmas but run of good form came to a halt when pulled up in handicap at Newbury in March. Needs to bounce back. Solid run of form came to an end when pulled up at Newbury and now high in the weights.. |
|||
7th (1)  (11/1 -47%)Mr Tambourine Man |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mr Tambourine Man 11/1, Winner of handicap hurdles at Exeter (21.6f) and Ffos Las (20f) on good/good to soft in spring of last year. Likely needed return from 10-month absence at Taunton recently and better expected here. He was very quiet at Taunton a month ago on his return from a lengthy break.. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (25/1 -14%)Privatearing |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Privatearing 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Standout effort came when runner-up at Fontwell (21.8f) in February and well below that level both starts since, latest sent handicapping at same course. Hard to fancy. Second in a good-ground novice; heavy/soft ground perhaps not to his liking since then.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to make a definitive prediction from this summary as it provides limited information about the horses and their respective chances. However, based on the information provided, 2.25/1 (2) KING'S THRESHOLD and 4.5/1 (5) ISLAND RUN seem to be the most promising contenders, with both having recent wins and solid performances in their last races. 5.5/1 (3) YOUNG BUTLER and 8/1 (1) MR TAMBOURINE MAN also have potential and could be in the running if they perform to their best form. The remaining horses have either been inconsistent or underperformed in their recent outings, suggesting they may be less likely to win.
YOUNG BUTLER outran odds of 40/1 to finish third in a valuable event at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. King's Threshold, a stablemate of the selection, is an obvious threat following his recent win at Exeter. Shot Boii failed to fire on his most recent outing but it is far too soon to be writing him off.
KING'S THRESHOLD found improvement when making a winning handicap bow at Exeter last month and remains low mileage. He can follow up. Island Run and Young Butler can also make their presence felt.
Young Butler has claims on his Haydock third but his stablemate KING'S THRESHOLD is perhaps a safer play on this step up to 3m.

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.
