1st (4)  (4/1 -78%)Miss Fedora |
4/1(-78%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Fedora 4/1, Scored by 14l off 72 here three starts back; fourth beaten 12l off 83 last time; likes the track; not out of it Scored over C&D in January but this high-mileage 6yo is not very reliable. |
|
2nd (2)  (5/2 -43%)Delpotro |
5/2(-43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Delpotro 5/2, Back to form 6l third in a handicap chase over 2m at Sedgefield most recent run; dangerous if allowed to dictate though could do with some rain Free-going front-runner; 0-5 in Britain but ran well at Sedgefield last month; a player. |
|
3rd (6)  (3/1 +57%)Pleasure Garden |
3/1(+57%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pleasure Garden 3/1, Comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m2f at Fontwell last time where went too fast; generally out of form; drop in trip a plus; could bounce back on better ground Needs to better recent efforts but won over C&D off 7lb higher on good ground a year ago. |
|
4th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Clondaw Robin |
16/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clondaw Robin 16/1, Looked regressive fourth beaten 25l in a handicap chase over 2m4f here latest; trainer in form; down in trip; bit to find Ran well here last month but was well held in the end and is now 0-32 over fences. |
|
|PU| (3)  (10/3 +56%)Stony Man |
10/3(+56%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stony Man 10/3, Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; generally out of form; not proven trip; bit to find and needs further Both runs for new stable this year have been underwhelming but a revival remains possible. |
|
|PU| (5)  (12/1 -50%)Grooveur |
12/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grooveur 12/1, Benefited from drop in class fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f here latest; returning from long layoff; not proven trip; unexposed over fences; risky Ran quite well over hurdles here last April but absent since; pulled up in only chase. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DELPOTRO posted what was arguably his best effort since arriving from France when able to finish third at Sedgefield last month. Charlie Longsdon's gelding was eased 1lb in the handicap and with Elizabeth Gale taking off a further 8lb, he should go close. Miss Fedora bolted up over this C&D off 4lb lower in January and although two lesser efforts have followed, she merits the utmost respect. Pleasure Garden is also noted.
Free-going front-runner DELPOTRO (nap) gave it a good shot at Sedgefield last month and can dominate this modest event throughout.

33/1(+34%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Onomaris 33/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest; returning from a break; yet to show anything; likely outclassed Showed only minor promise on debut and was pulled up over C&D on second start. |
|
2nd (1)  (4/11 +9%)Blacksamssenorita |
4/11(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blacksamssenorita 4/11, Well backed when won a maiden hurdle at Exeter over 2m1f by 12l last time; steadily progressive; up in trip; can defy penalty Comfortably won modest Exeter maiden last week and has strong claims over new trip here. |
|
3rd (2)  (4/1 +33%)Back In The Bay |
4/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Back In The Bay 4/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester latest; trainer in form; placed in a point; showed minor promise in bumpers; possible improver after wind op Ran poorly on hurdle debut in September but earlier point/bumper form was promising. |
|
|PU| (3)  (7/1 -27%)Dance The Moon |
7/1(-27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dance The Moon 7/1, Ideally suited by trip 25l third in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Southwell most recent run where travelled well for a long way; should progress; danger Made promising bumper debut in 2023; subsequent bumper/hurdle form has been underwhelming. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLACKSAMSSENORITA impressed when making all in a maiden at Exeter recently and is hard to oppose after coasting to that 12-length success. A 7lb penalty shouldn't be an issue and, as a half-sister to a couple of winners over this sort of trip, the additional yardage is a natural step. Dance The Moon is the pick of the rest, although Back In The Bay merits a betting check now returning after wind surgery.
The most obvious answer is BLACKSAMSSENORITA, who has made a solid start to her hurdling career and comes here after a comfortable win.

11/2(+83%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Westtara 11/2, Below par comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m here last time; generally out of form; up in trip; easy to look elsewhere Didn't run badly when last of five over 2m here last month; can do better over this trip. |
|
2nd (3)  (5/1 +33%)Ballela Blaze |
5/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballela Blaze 5/1, Below par 27l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Sedgefield most recent run where passed beaten horses late; longer trip could suit; of interest Kept on for modest third at Sedgefield (2m4f) recently; tries a new trip today. |
|
3rd (2)  (4/1 -60%)Stylia |
4/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stylia 4/1, Below par fourth beaten 45l in a maiden hurdle over 1m7f at Wincanton latest; trainer in form; longer trip could suit; off a short-break; lot to find and looks stable second string Well beaten in 2m maiden/novice hurdles; could be a completely different proposition here. |
|
4th (5)  (5/2 +0%)Abbeyhill |
5/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Abbeyhill 5/2, Probably needed race fourth beaten 35l in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Fontwell latest; blinkers first time; in good form when last seen over hurdles; can bounce back Largely disappointing over fences since November; back hurdling with a point to prove. |
|
|PU| (6)  (9/4 +63%)Bella Cavalla |
9/4(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bella Cavalla 9/4, Not clear run 5l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; returning from a break; consistent; no forlorn stable second string In good form when last seen in the autumn (including over C&D); player if fully tuned up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The betting should be a good source of clues and while Ballela Blaze and Abbeyhill are likely to be key players, it could be worth taking a chance that PURE THEATRE is up to giving weight away all round. A respectable second to an in-form opponent at Wincanton on Monday, a repeat of that performance could suffice if this doesn't come too quickly.
She has fitness to prove today but BELLA CAVALLA is now 1lb lower than when keeping on well for second over C&D in the autumn.

|

5/2(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dear Ralphy 5/2, Probably needed race 22l third in a handicap chase at Fontwell most recent run where unsuited by heavy; trainer in form; thrown in on hurdle form; unexposed in this sphere; leading contender Ran quite well in February, after a layoff, and remains unexposed over fences. |
|

5/4(-87%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Leading Swoop 5/4, Ideally suited by trip when landed handicap by 5 1/2l off 89 at Fontwell last time; versatile ground wise; remains very well treated on old form; could follow up Consistent this season and was a clearcut winner when back up to 3m2f at Fontwell recently. |
|
4th (4)  (22/1 +67%)Autumn Philtre |
22/1(+67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Autumn Philtre 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Fontwell latest; longer trip could suit; significant jockey booking; fair mark on point form but bit to prove Ex-Irish 9yo; pulled-up outsider over hurdles on recent stable debut. |
|
|F| (3)  (11/4 +90%)Kadex |
11/4(+90%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kadex 11/4, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Fakenham latest; up in trip; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; regressive for some rime Disappointing for Lucy Wadham last season and yet to revive for new stable this term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LEADING SWOOP went in by over five lengths at Fontwell on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 6lb. The nine-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to complete a double. Dear Ralphy was well beaten into third in heavy conditions on his return to the larger obstacles, but this better ground should see him in a different light off 5lb lower. Delgany Monarch is the pick of the remainder.
The one with least to prove is Leading Swoop but DEAR RALPHY is well handicapped on last spring's hurdling form and gets the vote.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hecouldbetheone 11/8, Below par beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Taunton last time; visor first time; trainer in form; C&D winner but better over shorter; dangerous if allowed to dictate Has the form to threaten and conditions should be ideal on this return from a break. |
|
2nd (2)  (6/1 -20%)Shengai Enki |
6/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shengai Enki 6/1, Benefited from positive ride scored by 2 1/2l off 108 over 2m6f at Fontwell three starts back; second beaten 6 1/2l off 115 last time where got racing too early; vulnerable to improver Might just be on a tough mark now as latest winner at Wincanton beat him handsomely. |
|
3rd (4)  (10/11 +55%)Narragansett |
10/11(+55%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Narragansett 10/11, Well backed when landed handicap by 1/2l off 115 over 2m at Sandown last time overcoming pace bias; up in trip; more to come judged on flat form; go close if stamina holds up He's now 2-2 in the hood and probably still on a fair mark despite latest 5lb rise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NARRAGANSETT justified favouritism on his handicap debut in this sphere at Sandown last month and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests. Neil Mulholland's juvenile has only been put up 5lb for that victory and could improve for this step up in distance. Shengai Enki filled the runner-up spot at Wincanton last week and is fancied to go well again. Last-time-out C&D scorer Lumi Plugin also needs to be taken seriously.
All four have chances. NARRAGANSETT is up in trip but this might not develop into too searching a stamina test.

|

9/2(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Vorderman 9/2, Below par comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle over 2m3f at Stratford last time where unsuited by track; usually consistent; longer trip could suit; not out of it Found a very ordinary race when winning on hurdle debut; tough tasks since; handicap debut. |
|

5/2(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gorcombe Moonshine 5/2, Below par well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 1m7f at Wincanton latest; in good form prior; not proven trip; bit to find and stamina concerns Sole win over fences in late 2023; best form at up to 2m2f; this trip is a new venture. |
|

11/1(-22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Steel Dancer 11/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle over 2m3f at Taunton latest; tongue-tie first time; not proven trip; off a short-break; plenty more needed on handicap debut Little to latch on to so far but handicaps should offer more scope; now tongue tied. |
|
|PU| (7)  (12/1 +14%)Smith |
12/1(+14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Smith 12/1, Landed handicap by 2l off 49 over 2m at Lingfield last time; unexposed in this sphere; longer trip a plus; returning from a break; interesting at a price Eight Flat wins but not much truck with hurdles so far, including on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Jorebel was able to reach the frame at Uttoxeter on Saturday and is taken to go well, but preference is for RIP WHEELER. The son of Walk In The Park plugged on into fourth over 2m at Sandown when making his handicap bow in February and, now upped in trip, it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Steel Dancer sports a tongue-tie for the first time and also makes some appeal.
Rip Wheeler is open to improvement over the new trip but battle-hardened MACARI gets the vote.

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.
