3rd (4) (10/1 -11%)Moonbow |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Moonbow 10/1, Below par down the field in a bumper over 2m at Ayr most recent; bumper winner prior; longer trip could suit; off a short-break; outside claims on hurdle debut Point/bumper winner; from a useful family and may do better still. |

4th (8) (100/1 +0%)Somebodycomegether |
100/1(+0%) | (8) Somebodycomegether 100/1, In need of the experience comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Cartmel last time; generally out of form on flat prior; up in trip; all to do Maiden on Flat and never figured on the switch to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (25/1 -150%)Blazing Court |
25/1(-150%) | (1) Blazing Court 25/1, In need of the experience 11l third in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso most recent run; consistent over hurdles and fences; each way claims under penalty Has failed to transfer the form of his chase win back to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (12/1 -140%)Late Night Drama |
12/1(-140%) | (3) Late Night Drama 12/1, Benefited from drop in class when winning a novice hurdle at Hexham by 6l last time beating previous winner; 2m4f suits; big danger One of the main players, provided the form of Hexham win is repeated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 +38%)Delayed Charm |
50/1(+38%) | (6) Delayed Charm 50/1, In need of the experience fourth beaten 17l in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso latest; hood first time; trainer in form; hard to recommend Addition of hood needs to prompt a bigger effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (28/1 +15%)Pure Gold |
28/1(+15%) | (7) Pure Gold 28/1, Ran to form 22l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen most recent run; returning from long layoff; consistent; up in trip; stamina concerns New trip needs to spark improvement; stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The consistent EMILY LOVE broke her hurdling duck in no uncertain terms at Limerick last month and Gordon Elliott's mare should be a tough nut to crack on these terms. Hexham scorer Late Night Drama has far less to prove than many and is the clear danger, although bumper winner Moonbow, who makes his debut over timber, should not be dismissed.

Limerick winner EMILY LOVE has the best chance on hurdles form, ahead of Hexham scorer Late Night Drama.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 -78%)Cage Rattler |
16/1(-78%) | (6) Cage Rattler 16/1, Ran to form 5l third in a handicap hurdle at Hexham most recent run where given too much to do; in good form in spring previously; usually held up; contender with stiff 2m to suit Form in handicap hurdles is largely encouraging; enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/1 +25%)Bringsty |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Bringsty 9/1, Travelled well when scored by 1 1/4l off 64 over 9f at Gowran Park penultimate start; eighth beaten 18l off 72 last time; more to come now handicapping judged on flat form Five-time Flat winner; has an attractive opening hurdles mark; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(-100%) | (1) Chichester 11/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; shaped woth promise both starts prior; much more to come judged on flat form; may contend Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

JET PATROL travelled strongly into contention, but had been too keen earlier in the contest to see out 2m2f at Kelso a fortnight ago. The eight-year-old could build on that promising effort now dropped to 2m. Away She Goes finished a place in front of the selection when third in that event and looks an obvious threat given her current form, while Gonnino is also noted.

Back down in distance, SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN is worth another chance. Gonnino is second choice.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (28/1 +15%)Gemini Man |
28/1(+15%) | (11) Gemini Man 28/1, Did not get a clear run well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Cartmel latest; fair mark on winter form; outside chance Pulled up over C&D on handicap hurdle debut and safely held in a selling handicap since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 -27%)Just Dottie |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Just Dottie 7/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by a length off 105 here last time; goes well here; progressive; contender Back from break with two C&D wins this spring; Sean Bowen booked again; obvious contender. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (22/1 -57%)Bishop Hill |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Bishop Hill 22/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here latest; generally out of form; down in trip; fair mark on best form but finishing efforts a concern Weakened tamely from penultimate flight here last time; now 0-10 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (5/1 +64%)Cuban Cigar |
5/1(+64%) | (10) Cuban Cigar 5/1, Below par beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here last time; well treated on old form; needs pace collapse Not beaten far when fifth over C&D last month and has slipped to a very tempting mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 -60%)Coventry |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Coventry 40/1, Wide trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Ayr latest where went too fast; down in trip; doesn't look the force of old Yet to add to Irish maiden hurdle win in 2021 and was out of form when last seen in winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (50/1 -150%)Leopolds Rock |
50/1(-150%) | (12) Leopolds Rock 50/1, Looked unenthusiastic beaten 2l off 91 over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time; absent for very lengthy period; significant jockey booking; fair mark but may just need this In good form in autumn 2023 but makes stable debut after 606-day absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (7) (9/2 +25%)Heart Above |
9/2(+25%) | (7) Heart Above 9/2, Improved again beaten 2 1/4l off 97 over 2m5f at Kelso last time; down in trip; stiff track will suit; probably bit to come but needs it Placed on three of four starts since returning from a break; on career-high mark, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Just Dottie made it two C&D successes on the trot last month and must be respected with Sean Bowen aboard once again, but preference is for the unexposed THE LAST CLOUD. A facile winner of a maiden over track and trip, he enters handicaps from a seemingly fair mark and it would come as no great surprise were he to find further progress. Simple Star can chase the pair home.

Under a very positive ride, SIMPLE STAR succumbed only to a useful Irish raider at Kelso last month. He could be hard to catch.

1st (2) (8/11 +34%)Schmilsson |
8/11(+34%) | (2) Schmilsson 8/11, Well backed when landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off 112 here last time; much more to come judged on hurdle form; can follow up Easily beat Nathan Wells over C&D last month on chase debut; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 -13%)Dream Jet |
9/2(-13%) | (4) Dream Jet 9/2, Travelled well when landing a handicap by 3l off 106 at Hexham last time; consistent; stiff track should suit; feasible threat Won at Hexham last time; consistent sort and should give his running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (17/2 +39%)Breizh River |
17/2(+39%) | (1) Breizh River 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Musselburgh latest; cheekpieces first time; drop down in trip a plus; returning from a break; bit to find Revival is possible in first-time headgear on return from break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +9%)Nathan Wells |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Nathan Wells 10/1, Second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap chase here latest; inconsistent; versatile ground wise; not ruled out if getting stiff test No match for Schmilsson here last time and is now 5lb out of weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (33/1 -288%)Champ De Gane |
33/1(-288%) | (5) Champ De Gane 33/1, Made too much use of fourth beaten 15l in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; should come on for that; needs to prove ability remains Longstanding maiden but has form figures of 222 at Perth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (8/1 -78%)Salamanca Bay |
8/1(-78%) | (3) Salamanca Bay 8/1, Travelled well second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Worcester latest where conceded first run; in good form; significant jockey booking; threat Back in better form the last twice; can't be dismissed on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Despite not jumping with fluency, SCHMILSSON justified favouritism readily over track and trip last month and is just 7lb higher. Olly Murphy's six-year-old makes only his second start over fences and could have lots more to offer. Salamanca Bay occupied the runner-up berth at Worcester and the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye on his debut for a new stable. Last-time-out Hexham scorer Dream Jet is another to note.

Having won easily over C&D last time, SCHMILSSON holds particularly strong claims. Breizh River is second pick.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/2 +31%)Hang In There |
11/2(+31%) | (1) Hang In There 11/2, Below par fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Newton Abbot latest where given too much to do; up in trip; not out of it in tight contest Close second in this race in 2024; not at best this year but back on a good mark now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/3 +39%)Stans The Man |
10/3(+39%) | (7) Stans The Man 10/3, Something in hand landing a handicap by 12l off 118 over 3m4f at Stratford last time; down in trip; bit to find if turned out quickly off revised mark Arrives in peak form, having won two good-ground marathons last month; up in grade here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 +31%)Annsam |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Annsam 11/1, Ran to form 6l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; that strong form; veteran has slipped to very attractive mark; dangerous if allowed to dictate Unable to recapture best form since his long layoff but was placed over C&D in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (13/2 +35%)Ballintubber Boy |
13/2(+35%) | (8) Ballintubber Boy 13/2, Travelled well beaten 1 1/2l off 125 at Ludlow last time where just out-battled late by race fit rival; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; enjoys making it; big player Seven-time hurdle winner; second in two tiny fields at Ludlow over fences. |

|U| (2) (11/2 -57%)Riaan |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (12/1 -20%)Tullybeg |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Tullybeg 12/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Ballinrobe last time; generally out of form; step up in trip a plus; looks stable second string Returned from layoff with two below-par runs last month; needs to get back in the groove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

STANS THE MAN completed a double by 12 lengths over an extended 3m3f at Stratford last week and a 9lb rise might underestimate the authority he showed that day. If the eight-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove hard to beat again. Riaan took the silver medal home in a Grade 3 handicap at the Punchestown Festival and commands the utmost respect for the Gordon Elliott team. Young Buster looks best of the rest.

Last year's game winner STATUARIO (nap) chased home a next-time-out winner when second over C&D in April and can defend his crown.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(+20%) | (5) Wasdell Dundalk 16/1, Did not get a clear run well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here latest; in good form over fences prior; up in trip; likes it here; of interest Ran poorly over hurdles here last month but is a four-time C&D winner over fences. |

11/1(-144%) | (9) Glen Cannel 11/1, Something in hand won a hunter chase here by 12l last time; should show some improvement but needs to stepping into handicaps Won small-field hunter chase here last month but faces a much tougher assignment today. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (33/1 0%)Cooper's Cross |
33/1(0%) | (3) Cooper's Cross 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest; off a long absence; looked regressive when last seen Pulled up five consecutive times in 2023-24 season; back from 408-day absence here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 -100%)Garde Des Champs |
12/1(-100%) | (6) Garde Des Champs 12/1, Below par 15l third in a handicap chase over 2m here most recent run where went too fast; up in trip; bit to find Largely consistent since last spring (2m-2m4f); tries 3m for first time under rules today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (5/2 +44%)Hardy Diamond |
5/2(+44%) | (8) Hardy Diamond 5/2, Ran to form second beaten 2 1/4l in a beginners chase chase over 2m4f at Kilbeggan latest; ought to relish this longer trip; more to come now handicapping; leading claims Low-mileage mare; second in 13-runner beginners' chase last month; up in trip today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

IMPERIAL ALEX filled the runner-up spot in a stronger event at Uttoxeter on his most recent start and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 1lb. With a similar effort, he could be the one to beat. Hardy Diamond finished second at Kilbeggan last time and makes her first start in a handicap over fences so she has to be considered. Glen Cannel is another to keep an eye on.

The one with most potential is Gordon Elliott's lightly raced mare HARDY DIAMOND, who moves up in trip.

|PU| (7) (8/1 -14%)Not In Kansas |
8/1(-14%) | (7) Not In Kansas 8/1, Travelled well fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here latest but found little for pressure; trainer in form; up in trip; could figure if stamina holds up Course winner; capable of being involved but has stamina to prove back at 3m. |

|PU| (8) (18/1 -200%)King Coconut |
18/1(-200%) | (8) King Coconut 18/1, Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Carlisle last time; step up in trip could suit; off a short-break; squeak with improvement likely on handicap debut May be capable of improvement now handicapping. |

|PU| (1) (80/1 -471%)Nowinittowinit |
80/1(-471%) | (1) Nowinittowinit 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Southwell latest; goes well here; bit to find back from lay off following wind op Defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D two years ago, albeit in a weak contest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having found only a subsequent winner too strong on his handicap bow over 2m4f at Ffos Las last month, THE FLYING POET makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark. The extra half-mile should suit the son of Milan and a first career victory could be imminent. Man Of Action opened his account at Hexham and a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Gary Rutherford's charge is feared most, ahead of Donso Star.

Ffos Las runner-up THE FLYING POET is taken to go one better. Man Of Action is second choice.

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

Happy Index notched a fourth victory over hurdles when landing the spoils here last month and she's sure to prove popular in her follow-up bid. However, Olly Murphy's mare could be worth taking on off a career-high mark with TRUE DESTINY. The veteran arrives on the back of a solid third at Downpatrick and he may prove slightly better handicapped raiding these shores. Kelso scorer Our Girl Sal completes the shortlist.

Having been progressive for her current stable, HAPPY INDEX is particularly appealing. Our Girl Sal is second choice.

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.
