1st (1)  (1/1 +0%)Shanagh Bob |
1/1(+0%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shanagh Bob 1/1, Raced freely down the field in Handicap Hurdle over 3m1f at Aintree most recent; Grade 2 winner over hurdles; failed to convince over fences in autumn; potential threat down in grade but unreliable Disappointing campaign in the main last season, including chasing, but could still go well. |
|
2nd (2)  (5/6 +0%)Ballintubber Boy |
5/6(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ballintubber Boy 5/6, Well backed beaten a short-head off 125 here last time; winner has franked that form emphatically; progressive hurdler prior; enjoys making it; yard can get them ready after absence; tough to beat 7-16 strike-rate over hurdles and went close on chase debut when last seen; has won fresh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Things haven't quite worked out for Shanagh Bob over fences so far, but the Grade 2-winning novice hurdler has time to do better and is entitled to go close should his jumping hold up. BALLINTUBBER BOY is fancied to come out on top in this match, though. The eight-year-old went agonisingly close over C&D on his chasing bow in October and natural improvement may well suffice.
Shanagh Bob is capable of running well but preference is for BALLINTUBBER BOY, who was short-headed over C&D last October.

1st (1)  (1/12 +58%)Service Minimum |
1/12(+58%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Service Minimum 1/12, Ran to form second beaten 2l in an Amateurs' bumper at Southwell latest; consistent in bumpers including here; tough to oppose on hurdle debut Runner-up in bumpers the last twice; found a very winnable race for hurdle debut. |
|
2nd (3)  (8/1 -60%)Pomeriggio |
8/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pomeriggio 8/1, Below par 3l third in a maiden hurdle at Stratford most recent run; previous placed effort boosted in top handicap; sole danger to fav Fair efforts when third the last twice but this looks a tough task against Service Minimum. |
|
|F| (2)  (25/1 -79%)Silk Bird |
25/1(-79%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Silk Bird 25/1, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 15l in a novice hurdle here latest; likely flattered that day; plenty more needed Didn't run badly over C&D recently but up against it if Service Minimum takes to hurdling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Pomeriggio has an official rating of 91 and has shown ability, but she might struggle to hold SERVICE MINIMUM at bay. Dan Skelton's charge was never out of the money in her three bumper starts. The Doctor Dino mare looks set to relish this switch to hurdling and, with little in the way of opposition, she can make the perfect start. Silk Bird appears to be booked for third.
Two-time bumper runner-up SERVICE MINIMUM is in a weak race on her hurdle debut and it will be disappointing if she doesn't win.

3/1(-9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lady Jago 3/1, Well backed when scored by 12l off 105 at Warwick penultimate start; fourth beaten 47l off 112 last time where outstayed late having looked winner on quick return; down in trip; can make amends Her two wins were a lot better than her other chase performances; back down in trip. |
|
2nd (4)  (3/1 +33%)Trapista |
3/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Trapista 3/1, Won this last year; below par 53l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; out of form and plenty to find with Regal Renaissance on recent meeting Pipped Regal Renaissance in this last May; 6lb below that mark, having been out of sorts. |
|
3rd (3)  (4/6 +73%)Imperial Jade |
4/6(+73%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Imperial Jade 4/6, Well backed when scored by a head off 102 at Huntingdon penultimate start; second beaten a short-head off 106 last time where kicked on too soon; open to marked improvement now chasing So nearly a hat-trick over hurdles; should put up a bold show if she takes to fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Imperial Jade came up just short when bidding for a hat-trick over hurdles at Carlisle but is likely to be involved should a switch to fences suit, while the largely consistent Regal Renaissance is entitled to go close having struck the woodwork over C&D twice in recent months. However, the vote goes to LADY JAGO. On target at Wincanton in March and Warwick the following month, she struggled against the boys at Plumpton but will appreciate being back against her own sex.
Regal Renaissance may have to settle for second once again, as IMPERIAL JADE could prove hot to handle if taking to fences.

7/2(+13%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Zucayan 7/2, Below par beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Market Rasen last time; usually consistent; goes well here; down in trip; could figure Not quite at best last time but running well previously and has a good record here. |
|
2nd (2)  (8/1 +6%)Wasthatok |
8/1(+6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wasthatok 8/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time; usually held up; well treated on old Irish form; risky Soundly beaten last month but showed spark in March and can't be written off. |
|
3rd (1)  (7/1 -40%)Star Of Guiting |
7/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Star Of Guiting 7/1, Raced freely fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Ascot latest; good mark on juvenile form; sharper track a plus; tongue-tie first time; big chance if settling Two juvenile hurdle wins last season and one to consider now down in grade in second h'cap. |
|
4th (8)  (11/10 +0%)Auntie Maggie |
11/10(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Auntie Maggie 11/10, Well backed when landing a handicap by 13l off 75 at Fakenham last time; previous runner up effort franked; can continue progress and follow up Easily made all at Fakenham and a 9lb rise may not stop this lightly raced 6yo. |
|
5th (4)  (22/1 -38%)Mill Street |
22/1(-38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mill Street 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon latest where too keen and met trouble; progressive prior; good ground suits; squeak Juvenile hurdle winner; pulled up on recent handicap debut but the blinkers may help. |
|
6th (6)  (80/1 -300%)Kotgar |
80/1(-300%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kotgar 80/1, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time where outpaced; inconsistent in short career; not proven trip; bit to find Runner-up over C&D on second start but has struggled since, including on handicap debut. |
|
7th (7)  (50/1 -25%)Dartman |
50/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dartman 50/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest when beaten; form going the wrong way; stiff mark Fair third at Uttoxeter last July but has struggled since & is now 0-16 across both codes. |
|
|PU| (5)  (11/2 +21%)Garitsa Bay |
11/2(+21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Garitsa Bay 11/2, Fourth beaten 11l in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; well treated on that; consistent over hurdles prior; returning from a break; outside chance Some good form last year after moving into handicap hurdles and could be in the mix. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AUNTIE MAGGIE justified favouritism in ready fashion at Fakenham and a 9lb rise may underestimate the authority she showed that day. Alastair Ralph's six-year-old can take this step up in grade in her stride to score, with her main threat possibly Star Of Guiting, who sports a first-time tongue-tie. He was well beaten into fourth on his handicap debut at Ascot, but could bounce back. Zucayan completes the shortlist.
This can go to AUNTIE MAGGIE (nap) who bolted up at Fakenham last time. She can defy a 9lb rise. Star Of Guiting is second choice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lake's Aventurine 10/1, Raced freely beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle here last time; generally out of form; bit to find and may want further in time Encouraging run over C&D last month but needs to build on that to get off the mark today. |
|
2nd (6)  (6/1 +0%)Clover Pass |
6/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Clover Pass 6/1, Well backed second beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 3m2f at Stratford latest just outstayed late; down in trip; good mark on previous maiden form; very interesting Promising run in first-time hood at Stratford & the drop back in trip looks the right move. |
|

15/8(-70%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pooroldmackley 15/8, Well backed when landing a handicap by 13l off 71 over 2m4f at Hereford last time appreciating stiff test; longer trip a plus; progressive; usually held up; threat Landed quick double last month; up 10lb for last time but had plenty in hand. |
|

20/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bahtiyar 20/1, Raced freely fourth beaten 54l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Fakenham latest; down in trip; often finds little; longstanding maiden; best watched back from break Continues to drop down the weights but remains a maiden and didn't shine when last seen. |
|
5th (2)  (13/8 +35%)Jaxonne |
13/8(+35%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jaxonne 13/8, Won this last year off 9lb lower; did not get a clear run beaten 2l off 88 over 2m4f at Wincanton last time; beaten by well treated rival that day; could figure Easily won a division of this last year and was runner-up at Wincanton latest; key player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
POOROLDMACKLEY supplemented his Newton Abbot victory over fences with an easy success in this sphere at Hereford and now has a 10lb higher rating to contend with. Considering the manner of his latest triumph, he could prove tough to beat again. Jaxonne showed more when filling the runner-up spot at Wincanton and won a division of this race last year so has to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Clover Pass makes most appeal.
Having impressed when completing a double at Hereford, POOROLDMACKLEY can defy a 10lb hike. Jaxonne is a danger.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Casting Aspersions 4/5, Well backed when landing a handicap by a neck off 80 over 2m5f at Huntingdon last time where still green; shaped like a stayer that day; can follow up over the longer trip Won at Huntingdon on second stable start and could have more to offer for this yard. |
|
2nd (1)  (9/2 -80%)Galway Reel |
9/2(-80%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Galway Reel 9/2, Ideally suited by trip beaten 4l off 90 here last time; unexposed as a stayer; yard does well here; big chance if fit after break Runner-up over C&D in December when last seen and has run well when fresh previously. |
|

50/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Top Drawer 50/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; yet to show anything since returning from lay off; difficult to fancy 11yo who was tailed off in March following a long absence; yet to win; others preferred. |
|
|U| (3)  (2/1 +20%)Luna Run |
2/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Luna Run 2/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by 16l off 73 at Taunton last time suited by positive handling; consistent; threat Had just 2 rivals to beat when winning at Taunton but impressed in first-time cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Casting Aspersions took a significant step forward from his first start for the Fergal O'Brien yard to strike by a neck at Huntingdon and holds an obvious chance, despite a 3lb higher mark. However, LUNA RUN made every yard for a facile success at Taunton and the assessor may have been kind to only put her up 5lb. The six-year-old retains the cheekpieces that were applied for the first time in that romp and looks the one to beat. Galway Reel is another to keep an eye on.
Having stayed on well to win over an extended 2m4f on his second run for Fergal O'Brien, CASTING ASPERSIONS is taken to follow up.

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.
