Races & Results Monday 10th April 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) Godot 2/1, Fair bumper performer who was placed on his first two hurdles starts but has failed to make much of an impact switched to handicaps subsequently. Return to this longer trip will suit back in a maiden.
2
2nd (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Cape Vidal
3.33/1(+26%)
(2) Cape Vidal 3.33/1, Disappointing twice after his successful bumper debut and listed Cheltenham third but certainly not overfaced for his first go over hurdles up in trip. One to consider.
3
3rd (3) (2.25/1 -63%) Copshill Lad
2.25/1(-63%)
(3) Copshill Lad 2.25/1, Ready winner of Stratford bumper in May. Good start over hurdles when third in 18.5f Exeter maiden on New Year's Day (strong form) under this rider and decent shout on that for all he's disappointed twice since (in handicap latest).
4
4th (6) (12/1 +76%) Honneur De Sivola
12/1(+76%)
(6) Honneur De Sivola 12/1, Made frame both completed starts in Irish points but easy to back and well held on hurdles debut at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago.
5th
5th (1) (80/1 -100%) Bar Thyme
80/1(-100%)
(1) Bar Thyme 80/1, Little impact in bumpers but should do better now jumping over this longer trip.
6th
6th (8) (5.5/1 +15%) Scarpered
5.5/1(+15%)
(8) Scarpered 5.5/1, Little show in two bumpers but (150/1) caught the eye under considerate handling on hurdles debut at Ludlow (2m). Poor at Ffos Las next time.
7th
7th (7) (33/1 -18%) Jet Of Dreams
33/1(-18%)
(7) Jet Of Dreams 33/1, Cosily won sole start in Irish points but no show in 2 bumpers. Significantly up in trip for hurdles debut and tongue tie goes on.

66/1(+34%)
(4) Engaging Sam 66/1, Down the field in bumpers/maiden hurdle.
LTO Selection:
14:23 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
COPSHILL LAD has shown some ability in this discipline and may improve for today's slight drop in trip. He sets the standard on the official ratings and may be able to put his previous experience to good use. Honneur De Sivola is entitled to be wiser after his debut under Rules at Market Rasen last month, while Bar Thyme is a half-brother to a couple of winners over timber and is worth noting in the betting.
Not a strong maiden and COPSHILL LAD is worth another chance with his sights lowered. Cape Vidal, another bumper winner, isn't overfaced for his hurdles debut and could be a big player.
This is a modest maiden and a chance is taken that CAPE VIDAL can recapture his initial bumper form now sent over hurdles.
(8) Alto Alto 3/1, Resumed with good second in Ascot handicap hurdle but well held since (including over fences last 2 starts).
2
2nd (9) (3.5/1 +65%) Not Another Muddle
3.5/1(+65%)
(9) Not Another Muddle 3.5/1, Just fair nowdays and jumping let him down when last of 3 at Huntingdon last time, (albeit broke blood vessel).
3
3rd (1) (2.75/1 +39%) Iconic Muddle
2.75/1(+39%)
(1) Iconic Muddle 2.75/1, Pretty low-mileage for a 10-y-o and he shaped well on back of 14 months off when second at Kempton (20.5f), left poorly placed in relation to all-the-way winner. Let down by jumping at Sandown since and worth another chance.
4
4th (7) (7.5/1 +38%) Glajou
7.5/1(+38%)
(7) Glajou 7.5/1, Fair chaser for Paul Nicholls but he's not the most straightforward. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Worcester last summer but pulled up at Kempton in November. Not seen to best effect back from a break when fourth at Southwell 3 weeks ago.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (6/1 -20%) Rose Sea Has
6/1(-20%)
(2) Rose Sea Has 6/1, Largely consistent performer who opened his account for the season when making most at Fontwell (17.8f) on Boxing Day. Excellent second at Hereford next time before excuses at Wetherby. Type to bounce back.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (12/1 -60%) Stepney Causeway
12/1(-60%)
(3) Stepney Causeway 12/1, Useful hurdles winner for Dan Skelton. Yet to get his head in front in this sphere but he did score on the level at Saint Moritz for present yard in February and respectable second back in this sphere at Newbury last month. Tongue strap back on.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (16/1 +27%) Texard
16/1(+27%)
(6) Texard 16/1, Fairly useful at best but nowhere near that level in recent starts. Plenty to prove.
LTO Selection:
14:58 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
With just two previous chase starts to his name, NOAHTHIRTYTWORED is open to progression and looks worth following having made a winning start at Newton Abbot last September before posting a respectable effort at Cheltenham the following month. By contrast, Rose Sea Has is a more wily character and is highly respected given he has experience of these obstacles. Glajou is also considered given that a recent outing should have blown the cobwebs away.
NOAHTHIRTYTWORED has continued his progress over fences and his opening mark in this sphere could well underestimate him. A few of these had legitimate excuses last time so could well bounce back, including Iconic Muddle and Rose Sea Has.
Chris Gordon's ONLY MONEY (nap) returns from a break under what are probably his optimum conditions.
(3) Embolden 25/1, Modest on the level nowadays but did show an aptitude for hurdling before Christmas. Switches to handicap company for the first time in this sphere on his return from 4 months off.
2
2nd (11) (4.5/1 +72%) Clongowes
4.5/1(+72%)
(11) Clongowes 4.5/1, Shaped as if back in form when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, good) in February but failed to build on it when a remote fifth of 6 at Fontwell since.
3
3rd (10) (11/1 +45%) Tommy Dillion
11/1(+45%)
(10) Tommy Dillion 11/1, Suited by way race developed when off mark in hurdle at Lingfield in December. Fair fourth over 2m at this course next time but not in anything like the same form when a distant fourth back here (2m again) last month.
4
4th (6) (14/1 +58%) Birdman Bob
14/1(+58%)
(6) Birdman Bob 14/1, Offered something to work on when fourth on his Lingfield hurdling debut in November but it's been a struggled since, including pulling up on his Sandown handicap debut 5 weeks ago.
5th
5th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Ohnodonttakemehome
4.5/1(-13%)
(4) Ohnodonttakemehome 4.5/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers last season. Best run in maiden hurdles this term when fifth of 11 over 19f at Fontwell in January. Cheekpieces added for handicap debut. Opening handicap mark looks very workable based on his bumper ability. Worth chancing.
6th
6th (12) (5.5/1 +39%) Ez Tiger
5.5/1(+39%)
(12) Ez Tiger 5.5/1, Showed some promise around 2m in January but less so when stepped up to 20.5f at Huntingdon in February. Has a tongue tie fitted for the first time since his bumper debut run in Ireland.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (6/1 +20%) Invictus De Brion
6/1(+20%)
(8) Invictus De Brion 6/1, Course bumper winner in September. Subsequent hurdle exploits have been a little disappointing, including pulling up on C&D handicap debut 6 weeks ago, but it's still early days and his stable won the race last year.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (7.5/1 -150%) Big Jimbo
7.5/1(-150%)
(5) Big Jimbo 7.5/1, Modest form at best over hurdles last season but arrives in form from the Flat (won in February) and it's still early days for him in this sphere. Interesting runner.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (8.5/1 -13%) Hunting Brook
8.5/1(-13%)
(7) Hunting Brook 8.5/1, Has yet to build on his hurdle debut third (only modest form) but it certainly wouldn't be a shock to see him take a step forward now handicapping in a first-time tongue tie.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (16/1 -33%) Downsman
16/1(-33%)
(2) Downsman 16/1, Fairly useful on Flat but yet to get close to that level over hurdles, including when switched to handicap company here (2m) in cheekpieces last month.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (16/1 +20%) Just Another One
16/1(+20%)
(9) Just Another One 16/1, Ran to fairly useful level on second Flat outing and shaped well when runner-up on hurdles debut in September. Not so good since though, including in handicaps last twice. First-time tongue tie (added to a visor) needs to have a positive effect.
LTO Selection:
15:33 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BIG JIMBO has been in good form on the all-weather since the turn of the year and the versatile gelding could be hard to peg back now he reverts to hurdles. He's shown ability in four previous starts in this discipline and offers strong appeal. Hunting Brook is unexposed and could have more to offer, while Invictus De Brion has previous course experience and is another to bear in mind. Ohnodonttakemehome completes the shortlist.
OHNODONTTAKEMEHOME seemed to gradually get the hang of hurdling in his qualifying runs and has a lenient mark based on bumper ability so he's the suggestion. Big Jimbo arrives in form from AW Flat and rates an obvious danger back hurdling for the Gary Moore team. Hunting Brook is another who could take a step forward now handicapping for the first time in this sphere and also makes the shortlist.
All of these come with risks. EZ TIGER remains a maiden but he does move well in his races and might be worth chancing.
(3) Black Gerry 3.5/1, Has won all 3 of his starts when completing this season, seeing off a promising rival at Ascot (17f) last weekend. Will rightly be popular under a penalty for top local stable.
2
2nd (7) (5/1 +9%) Captain Tom Cat
5/1(+9%)
(7) Captain Tom Cat 5/1, Developed into a pretty smart chaser last term, successful 4 times around this trip, including a Grade 2 at Wincanton. This season has been a bit of a write-off but he'll be better for his recent Kempton return and has dropped to a very tempting mark. Interesting.
3
3rd (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Lord Baddesley
2.75/1(+21%)
(5) Lord Baddesley 2.75/1, Has won on both visits to Plumpton this season, including a C&D novice handicap chase in February. Poor in stronger race at Newbury last time but dangerous to discount back here.
4
4th (6) (9/1 +0%) Jacamar
9/1(+0%)
(6) Jacamar 9/1, Well held in good races at Kempton the last twice but won a similar event at Leicester off this mark in February. One to consider.
5th
5th (1) (4.5/1 +31%) War Lord
4.5/1(+31%)
(1) War Lord 4.5/1, Smart novice chaser last term, winning 3 times alongside a trio of in-the-frame efforts in Grade 1 company. Up and down this season but excellent chance on February's Wetherby handicap second having contested the Plate at Cheltenham last month.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Flic Ou Voyou
4.5/1(-29%)
(2) Flic Ou Voyou 4.5/1, Back from 4 months off and enhanced his fine record at Wincanton with another victory in handicap over this trip 7 weeks ago, capitalising on some poor jumping from the runner-up. Wouldn't dismiss up just 2 lb.
LTO Selection:
16:08 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
BLACK GERRY returned to form with a comfortable success at Ascot last Sunday when benefiting from a drop back in trip, having been pulled up at Kempton over 3m the time before. He carries a 7lb penalty on this occasion and it would be no surprise to see him back up that recent victory. Flic Ou Voyou just held on at Wincanton on his latest outing and is likely to enter calculations along with War Lord, who should find this easier than the Plate at Cheltenham Festival.
It could be worth chancing CAPTAIN TOM CAT, a Grade 2 winner last term who lurks on a very good mark and who will appreciate these sounder conditions for a stable that has really turned the corner after a poor spell. Black Gerry bounced back to form with a bang at Ascot last weekend and is sure to be popular for Gary Moore. War Lord is back down in class having run at the Cheltenham Festival and is a big threat.
A chance is taken on CAPTAIN TOM CAT, who is capable of rediscovering his form now back on good ground and with his stable going well.
(5) Hilltown 3.33/1, Point bumper winner who ran better than on handicap debut when chasing home One For The Wall here 6 weeks ago, looking suited by the step up in trip. One to consider.
2
2nd (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Flemen's Tipple
3.5/1(+42%)
(3) Flemen's Tipple 3.5/1, Has shown a lot more in handicaps for current yard the last twice, rallying after mistake last when going close over C&D 3 weeks ago. Probably has races in him on that evidence.
3
3rd (4) (5.5/1 +69%) The Tin Miner
5.5/1(+69%)
(4) The Tin Miner 5.5/1, Has looked on the downgrade this season but has finished second twice in this race over the years, collared by a stablemate 12 months ago. Career-low mark.
4
4th (8) (16/1 -129%) Rubys Reward
16/1(-129%)
(8) Rubys Reward 16/1, Landed a gamble for Anthony Honeyball in similar event at Fontwell this time last year and should strip fitter for last month's Ffos Las run for new yard. One to note back up in trip.
5th
5th (2) (50/1 -100%) King Otis
50/1(-100%)
(2) King Otis 50/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in first-time tongue tie for new handler at Southwell 5 weeks ago. Goes up significantly in trip.
6th
6th (6) (9/1 -29%) If Karl's Berg Did
9/1(-29%)
(6) If Karl's Berg Did 9/1, Maiden handicap hurdler who is hard to catch right but undoubtedly on a good mark if on a going day on his first crack over this sort of distance.
|F|
|F| (7) (5/1 -43%) Dear Ralphy
5/1(-43%)
(7) Dear Ralphy 5/1, Little show in maiden/novice hurdles but should do better in handicaps upped markedly in trip now and this is a good starting point.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (3.5/1 -56%) One For The Wall
3.5/1(-56%)
(1) One For The Wall 3.5/1, Fair maiden who got back on track when second over C&D 6 weeks ago and good shout on that form.
LTO Selection:
16:43 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FLEMEN'S TIPPLE produced his best effort to date when runner-up over C&D last month and this appears to be an excellent chance for him to go one better, especially with the handicapper not changing his mark. One For The Wall also finished second here when last seen in February and the seven-year-old is expected to uphold that form against the fourth, Hilltown, who may have more to offer on his second start over this distance.
ONE FOR THE WALL was firmly back on track when second over C&D 6 weeks ago and looks the obvious choice. Dear Ralphy is an interesting rival with the longer trip sure to suit on his handicap debut. Hilltown is another to note.
A chance is taken on DEAR RALPHY. His best form has come in bumpers but this longer trip could make a difference to him.
(4) Delgany Monarch 2/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has run to a similar level when making the frame all 3 chase starts so far, second of 7 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 20 days ago. Should be in the mix again.
2
2nd (1) (1.1/1 +60%) River Tyne
1.1/1(+60%)
(1) River Tyne 1.1/1, Maiden who is often there or thereabouts, close second at Exeter 2 weeks ago, though losing out having traded odds on in-running for the third time in her career.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (2.75/1 -10%) Who Is That
2.75/1(-10%)
(5) Who Is That 2.75/1, Jumped better than usual when resuming winning ways after a break in 12-runner handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good) and similar form when second at Plumpton. Considered up in trip.
LTO Selection:
17:18 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
River Tyne filled the runner-up berth for a fourth-consecutive time when finishing second at Exeter recently and a 4lb rise in the ratings will only make life tougher for Nick Gifford's mare. With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on DELGANY MONARCH, who arrives in good heart and found only a progressive rival too good over C&D last month. Who Is That and My Bad Lucy also warrant consideration.
MY BAD LUCY wasn't disgraced in a better race than this at Doncaster last time and can quickly resume winning ways back down in class. Delgany Monarch is next best ahead of River Tyne.
River Tyne and My Bad Lucy give Nick Gifford a strong hand but DELGANY MONARCH may scupper them both.
(6) Country Lady 5.5/1, Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/top-class chaser Frodon and offered something to work on when fifth at Lingfield 110 days ago. More to come and worthy of consideration.
2
2nd (9) (4.5/1 +59%) Western Knight
4.5/1(+59%)
(9) Western Knight 4.5/1, €75,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Ballybawn Belter. Interesting newcomer on paper.6
3
3rd (7) (1.25/1 +64%) Highway One O Five
1.25/1(+64%)
(7) Highway One O Five 1.25/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Gallant John Joe, stays 3m. Solid start when third at Kempton 44 days ago and likely to feature once again.
4
4th (4) (18/1 -350%) Ikalimix
18/1(-350%)
(4) Ikalimix 18/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Al Namix gelding. Dam maiden on Flat in France. Third of 4 starting out at Newbury 50 days ago. Could do better.
5th
5th (3) (22/1 -267%) Forlano
22/1(-267%)
(3) Forlano 22/1, Closely related to smart hurdler/chaser Farclas and stepped forward from debut when third at Kempton a couple of months ago. Needs to improve again.
6th
6th (1) (3.33/1 -77%) Carrigmoorna Rowan
3.33/1(-77%)
(1) Carrigmoorna Rowan 3.33/1, £85,000 5-y-o, Sea Moon gelding. Dam, unraced, out of useful 2m-2½m hurdle winner Sesenta. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and third at Exeter on Rules debut 147 days ago. Should do better and makes plenty of appeal.
7th
7th (8) (125/1 -25%) Mountain Bay
125/1(-25%)
(8) Mountain Bay 125/1, Big price and little encouragement at Fontwell first time out. Others make more appeal.
8th
8th (5) (100/1 +33%) Ruby's Comet
100/1(+33%)
(5) Ruby's Comet 100/1, Half-brother to 3 winners but didn't offer much when down the field at Chepstow on debut 159 days ago. Others make more appeal.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (40/1 +0%) Dontaskchris
40/1(+0%)
(2) Dontaskchris 40/1, £9,000 3-y-o, Ask gelding. Brother to fair hurdler/useful chaser Nothin To Ask. Dam dual point winner.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE made an encouraging start to his racing career when weakening late on into third in a bumper at Kempton in February and, with the runner-up subsequently bolting up at Wetherby on Thursday, compensation could await Chris Gordon's charge today. 3m point-to-point winner Carrigmoorna Rowan likely found the extended 2m at Exeter on the sharp side and Harry Fry's charge is feared most now faced with a stiffer test, while Ikalimix and Country Lady are also open to improvement.
HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE is well related and made a positive start when third at Kempton. This race doesn't look as strong and he takes preference over Carrigmoorna Rowan and Country Lady, who also made encouraging Rules debuts.
It was a traditionally good bumper (already franked) in which the well-related HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE finished third at Kempton.

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.
