1
1st (12) (7.5/1 +25%) Herbiers
7.5/1(+25%)
(12) Herbiers 7.5/1, French bumper winner who confirmed promise of hurdles debut when running out a comfortable winner at Hereford. Gritty display when making successful switch to handicaps at Ascot. Up 4 lb.
2
2nd (1) (22/1 -22%) Flic Ou Voyou
22/1(-22%)
(1) Flic Ou Voyou 22/1, Useful 3-time 2m novice hurdle winner early this season. Form has levelled off and doesn't look particularly well treated now handicapping (has a lot of experience for a novice).
3
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +36%) On To Victory
3.5/1(+36%)
(5) On To Victory 3.5/1, Smart on Flat, landing November Handicap last year. Successful in a maiden/novice either side of not being seen to best effort in the Betfair Hurdle and his mark looks very fair.
4
4th (14) (5.5/1 -10%) Royaume Uni
5.5/1(-10%)
(14) Royaume Uni 5.5/1, Ran to a useful level when winning on the Flat last month and improved on previous efforts over hurdles when second to Herbiers in a handicap at Ascot a month ago. More to come.
5th
5th (7) (11/1 -38%) Celestial Force
11/1(-38%)
(7) Celestial Force 11/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who won a pair of novice hurdles in the autumn at up to 19.7f. Had a breathing operation prior to excellent second at Newton Abbot but more needed in a handicap.
6th
6th (10) (4/1 +82%) Sheldon
4/1(+82%)
(10) Sheldon 4/1, In frame all starts in bumpers and confirmed hurdling debut promise when off the mark in 2m Fakenham novice in January. Second under a penalty at Exeter before a fair run in a gruelling race here.
7th
7th (13) (16/1 -14%) Gylo
16/1(-14%)
(13) Gylo 16/1, Multiple-Flat winner who landed a Newcastle jumpers bumper in February. Displayed sharp turn of foot when successful on third hurdles start at Plumpton ad opening mark is fair. Tongue tied.
8th
8th (6) (14/1 -17%) Isolate
14/1(-17%)
(6) Isolate 14/1, Fairly useful on Flat and won novices at Taunton and Leicester during the autumn. Shaped better than the distances beaten suggest both starts since and been eased 2 lb back in a handicap.
9th
9th (2) (16/1 -33%) Rockstar Ronnie
16/1(-33%)
(2) Rockstar Ronnie 16/1, Successful in his only point and left his hurdling debut effort well behind when scoring in good style at Kelso. Completed a simple task at Southwell and no disgrace in finishing second there latest.
10th
10th (4) (66/1 -267%) Get Back Get Back
66/1(-267%)
(4) Get Back Get Back 66/1, Fair winner on Flat and successful in handicap hurdles at Uttoxeter and Plumpton last year. 4 lengths behind Rockstar Ronnie at Southwell back from a break latest but his jumping is a worry.
11th
11th (3) (14/1 -27%) Pasvolsky
14/1(-27%)
(3) Pasvolsky 14/1, Plenty of experience in points but still displaying progressive form under Rules, gaining third win from 5 starts at Kempton a month ago.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (14/1 -17%) Lilly Pedlar
14/1(-17%)
(8) Lilly Pedlar 14/1, Out of a half-sister to Long Run and improved for step up to 20.5f when third in the Mares 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle Final on handicap debut at Newbury, running on after being snatched up.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (20/1 -67%) Twominutes Turkish
20/1(-67%)
(9) Twominutes Turkish 20/1, Left bumper form behind when making successful hurdles debut/reappearance at Fakenham. No match for Cadzand at Warwick but that form still reads well and his run at latter track since can be forgiven.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (50/1 -52%) Faitque De L'isle
50/1(-52%)
(11) Faitque De L'isle 50/1, Showed fairly useful form completed start over hurdles in France last year. Just fair form in 3 chase starts after but fair start for new yard when second (albeit a distant one) at Stratford.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Frodon 0.8/1, Looked as good as ever when making all in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Stamina stretched upped to 26.3f in the Gold Cup last time and will take some catching back down in trip here.
2
2nd (2) (1.88/1 -7%) Mister Fisher
1.88/1(-7%)
(2) Mister Fisher 1.88/1, Back on track with gutsy victory in the 2½m Peterborough Chase (staged at Cheltenham) in December. Failed to complete both starts since, but will be a big threat if his jumping passes the test here.
3
3rd (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Born Survivor
6.5/1(+28%)
(3) Born Survivor 6.5/1, Smart chaser who ended a losing run of almost 2 years when landing a Stratford handicap (22.6f) last month. Much more on his plate this time, but likely to give a good account all the same.
4
4th (4) (40/1 +39%) Militarian
40/1(+39%)
(4) Militarian 40/1, Established as a useful handicap chaser, but has largely struggled since landing a handicap at Ascot early last season and he faces a stiff task here.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Greaneteen 6.5/1, Progressive chaser who was runner-up in the C&D Tingle Creek in December. Just 2 lengths adrift of Put The Kettle On when fourth in the Champion Chase, but this demands a clear career-best.
2
2nd (1) (2.25/1 +10%) Altior
2.25/1(+10%)
(1) Altior 2.25/1, Outstanding on his day, winner of 15 of his 17 starts over fences, including the last 3 running of this, but he was below par on return at Kempton in December. Now tried in cheekpieces.
3
3rd (6) (3/1 -20%) Sceau Royal
3/1(-20%)
(6) Sceau Royal 3/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser who won the Game Spirit at Newbury in February. Unlucky in the Champion Chase next time (going well when nearly brought down 3 out) and a bold show is on the cards.
4
4th (7) (2.5/1 +9%) Put The Kettle On
2.5/1(+9%)
(7) Put The Kettle On 2.5/1, Tough and consistent mare who made it 4-4 at Cheltenham with a gritty display in the Champion Chase at last month's Festival. Another career-best required here, but she won't go down without a fight.
5th
5th (5) (28/1 +0%) Ornua
28/1(+0%)
(5) Ornua 28/1, Winner of the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree 2 years ago, but has subsequently failed to match that form and yard saddles a far stronger candidate in Put The Kettle On.
6th
6th (4) (22/1 -57%) Nuts Well
22/1(-57%)
(4) Nuts Well 22/1, Has improved again this season, landing the Old Roan at Aintree (2½m) on return in October and second in the Melling Chase over the same C&D recently. Still, he's likely to find a few too good here.
7th
7th (2) (18/1 +64%) Dolos
18/1(+64%)
(2) Dolos 18/1, Very smart chaser who has finished out of the first two just once from 5 starts over fences here. However, he was last of 6 behind Sceau Royal in the Game Spirit at Newbury last time.
LTO Selection:
15:05 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(2) Potterman 12/1, Scored at Market Rasen (3m) in August but off since unseated 13th in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November. Sort to go well granted this stamina test and he's not taken lightly after his break.
2
2nd (10) (9/1 -13%) Kitty's Light
9/1(-13%)
(10) Kitty's Light 9/1, Has enjoyed a fine first season over fences, tongue strap on when landing 3m2f handicap at Kelso last month. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly with this longer trip sure to show him in a better light.
4
4th (3) (11/1 -22%) El Presente
11/1(-22%)
(3) El Presente 11/1, Winner 4 times after wind surgery in first half of the season, landing Wincanton handicap in November. Good third after 5 months off at Ludlow (3m) last month. Not dismissed now stepping up in trip.
5th
5th (8) (20/1 +9%) Cap Du Nord
20/1(+9%)
(8) Cap Du Nord 20/1, Form hit new heights this season, successful at Newbury (2m6f) in November prior to solid in-the-frame efforts in stronger company. Pulled up over hurdles last time but sort to bounce back.
6th
6th (1) (16/1 +0%) Crosspark
16/1(+0%)
(1) Crosspark 16/1, Winless this season but he continues to knock firmly on the door, finding only one too good for a fifth time at Ascot (3m) last month. One for the shortlist with his stamina proven.
7th
7th (11) (5/1 -11%) Plan Of Attack
5/1(-11%)
(11) Plan Of Attack 5/1, Very useful Irish chaser who was running well in first-time blinkers when falling three out in Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f). Headgear retained. Can make his presence felt off same mark for top yard.
8th
8th (12) (33/1 +34%) Larry
33/1(+34%)
(12) Larry 33/1, Dual winner over fences, including here, in 2018/19 but very lightly raced since and well below par. Back from 16-month absence now with plenty to prove.
9th
9th (15) (16/1 +36%) Bob Mahler
16/1(+36%)
(15) Bob Mahler 16/1, Useful staying chaser at his best who hinted at a revival when fourth at Ffos Las (3m4f) earlier in the month. Cheekpieces go back on now and he's not totally dismissed off a reduced mark.
|R|
|R| (6) (16/1 -14%) Irish Prophecy
16/1(-14%)
(6) Irish Prophecy 16/1, Enjoying a good spell over fences and landed 23f Taunton handicap in November. Not disgraced after over 4 months off back over hurdles at Ascot last time. No forlorn hope returned to this sphere.
|DQ|
|DQ| (4) (3.5/1 +36%) Enrilo
3.5/1(+36%)
(4) Enrilo 3.5/1, Useful hurdle winner who has quickly reached that level over fences, winning with bit up his sleeve on handicap bow at Newbury (3m) in February. Remains with potential over long trips. Interesting.
|PU|
|PU| (16) (8/1 +0%) Supreme Escape
8/1(+0%)
(16) Supreme Escape 8/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who got back on track when landing 3m6f handicap at Chepstow last month. This is much tougher though and he's 3 lb out of the handicap too.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (8.5/1 +23%) Golan Fortune
8.5/1(+23%)
(9) Golan Fortune 8.5/1, Made winning start over fences in 3m Ludlow novice chase and in good form after until pulled up in Midlands National at Uttoxeter. Weighted to have a say if refitted cheekpieces spark a resurgence.
|PU|
|PU| (13) (25/1 +11%) Checkitout
25/1(+11%)
(13) Checkitout 25/1, Looked a chaser on the up with back-to-back 3m wins at Southwell and Ludlow in the spring but only eighth in handicap at Haydock three weeks ago. Faces no easy ask here.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (33/1 +0%) The Young Master
33/1(+0%)
(7) The Young Master 33/1, Likeable veteran who ran a cracker to finish third over fences at Uttoxeter in July. Had wind op before pulled up at Perth only run since, but he has won off a break before so not totally discounted.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (40/1 +20%) Smooth Stepper
40/1(+20%)
(5) Smooth Stepper 40/1, Veteran chaser who got back on track with win in 3m handicap at Carlisle 34 days ago. Up 5 lb and in a deeper race now, however, so others appeal more.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (66/1 -65%) Doing Fine
66/1(-65%)
(14) Doing Fine 66/1, Veteran C&D winner but well held after 4 months off in Midlands National at Uttoxeter last month. Goes well round here though so it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back.
LTO Selection:
15:40 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 1) 29f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(5) Younevercall 2.5/1, Smart hurdler who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in the Stayers' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Won this race in 2019 so obvious contender.
2
2nd (6) (4/1 +27%) Indefatigable
4/1(+27%)
(6) Indefatigable 4/1, Smart hurdler who ended last season with victory in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham. Solid efforts at spring festivals this term and ought to be competitive again.
3
3rd (1) (5/1 +17%) Call Me Lord
5/1(+17%)
(1) Call Me Lord 5/1, International Hurdle scorer at Cheltenham (2m) last term. Winless since but not disgraced when fifth of 15 to Thyme Hill in Stayers Hurdle at Aintree (24.7f) 14 days ago, possibly stretched by trip.
4
4th (3) (5/1 +9%) Pic D'orhy
5/1(+9%)
(3) Pic D'orhy 5/1, Won the Betfair Hurdle in 2019/20 and matched that form back in this sphere after a disappointing spell over fences when second in a 2m handicap at Taunton in February. Up significantly in trip.
5th
5th (2) (3.5/1 +46%) On The Blind Side
3.5/1(+46%)
(2) On The Blind Side 3.5/1, Smart hurdler who was runner-up to Younevercall in this corresponding race in 2019 and posted creditable sixth of 15 to Thyme Hill in Stayers Hurdle (Liverpool) (33/1) at Aintree (24.7f) 14 days ago.
6th
6th (4) (14/1 -27%) Captain Zebo
14/1(-27%)
(4) Captain Zebo 14/1, Continued his winning streak when clinging on to bring up the 5-timer in a 25f handicap at Carlisle in December. That was a thin race for the grade, but he may continue to surprise.
LTO Selection:
16:15 Sandown Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(10) Iconic Muddle 3.5/1, Fairly useful 21f hurdle winner. Encouraging start to his chase career in 2 outings this season and he may have an even bigger performance in him.
(6) (5/1 +23%) Farinet
5/1(+23%)
(6) Farinet 5/1, Fairly useful chaser in France who has made good start for new yard, building on Haydock third when seeing it out strongly to win soft-ground C&D listed handicap last month. Likely more to come.
1
1st (8) (3.2/1 +29%) Belargus
3.2/1(+29%)
(8) Belargus 3.2/1, Belatedly off the mark over fences with a smooth success over 2m here in February (form boosted since). In contention when falling over C&D since. Needs considering.
2
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +50%) Falco Blitz
4.5/1(+50%)
(3) Falco Blitz 4.5/1, Came good at the third time of asking over fences in 20.5f Southwell novice handicap in February. Shade disappointing when only a well-held fourth at Kempton since, though.
3
3rd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Killer Clown
2.75/1(+21%)
(2) Killer Clown 2.75/1, Done well over fences this term, landing traditionally strong 20.5f Kempton novice handicap on Boxing Day. Even better when second in Grade 3 handicap at Newbury since. Should continue to run well.
4
4th (4) (4/1 +0%) Not That Fuisse
4/1(+0%)
(4) Not That Fuisse 4/1, Useful chaser who landed a jumpers bumper in February. Fine effort when narrowly denied in 20.5f Ayr handicap 8 days ago. Races off same mark. Ought to go well in refitted cheekpieces.
5th
5th (5) (18/1 -29%) Ashutor
18/1(-29%)
(5) Ashutor 18/1, Taken well to fences this season, landing the odds in a couple of handicaps in the summer. However, his progress has stalled of late so it's perhaps best to look elsewhere.
6th
6th (7) (11/1 +56%) Lust For Glory
11/1(+56%)
(7) Lust For Glory 11/1, Twice a winner over fences this season but not at best when remote third in C&D listed handicap last month and pulled up in Topham at Aintree since. Bounce back needed.
7th
7th (1) (25/1 +0%) Longhouse Sale
25/1(+0%)
(1) Longhouse Sale 25/1, Racked up a hat-trick in novice chases last summer but has lost his way since, albeit this is more realistic than the Grade 1 he contested at Aintree last time.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (18/1 -29%) Fairway Freddy
18/1(-29%)
(9) Fairway Freddy 18/1, Pair of 17f wins at Plumpton this spring. Up another 5 lb in a stronger race now so he'll require another career best to come out on top.
LTO Selection:
16:50 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Cascova 5/1, Highly-tried bumper winner for Martyn Meade who opened his account over hurdles in most impressive fashion at Ascot 27 days ago. Well-run race switched to handicaps will suit, so strong claims.
(8) (40/1 -43%) Mahlervous
40/1(-43%)
(8) Mahlervous 40/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who opened chase account in a 23.4f novice at Kelso in December but struggled on both subsequent outings, including back in this sphere (jumped poorly) last time.
1
1st (1) (8/1 -60%) Scaramanga
8/1(-60%)
(1) Scaramanga 8/1, Took his form to a new level when scoring at Newbury last time, showing good battling qualities. Should get the longer trip, so can't be ruled out after a 5-lb rise.
2
2nd (13) (50/1 +24%) Byron Flyer
50/1(+24%)
(13) Byron Flyer 50/1, Useful dual-purpose performer but has been out of sorts for a while. Makes little appeal.
3
3rd (14) (2.5/1 +58%) Floating Rock
2.5/1(+58%)
(14) Floating Rock 2.5/1, Still improving and took his seasonal tally to 4 with a hard-fought success at Ayr 6 days ago, edging ahead close home as he and the runner-up came well clear. Obvious claims from same mark.
4
4th (6) (16/1 +20%) Commanche Red
16/1(+20%)
(6) Commanche Red 16/1, Bounced back from a quiet spell to capitalise on a reduced mark in first-time visor at Plumpton 13 days ago. Back up 3 lb and this is significantly more competitive.
5th
5th (9) (12/1 +14%) Thibault
12/1(+14%)
(9) Thibault 12/1, Has thrived for new yard this term, landing handicaps at Plumpton and Hereford before bagging Lingfield jumpers bumper. Handicapper might have caught up based on last couple of outings, though.
6th
6th (4) (6.5/1 +13%) L'homme Presse
6.5/1(+13%)
(4) L'homme Presse 6.5/1, Lightly-raced 6yo who returned from a long absence to score comfortably in a novice at Chepstow on British/stable debut 14 days ago. Capable of further progress, so warrants plenty of respect.
7th
7th (12) (11/1 +0%) Golden Boy Grey
11/1(+0%)
(12) Golden Boy Grey 11/1, Looked promising when making a winning debut at this course in December and was firmly back on track when landning a novice at Fontwell a couple of months ago. Opening mark demands improvement.
8th
8th (10) (8.5/1 +6%) Bard Of Brittany
8.5/1(+6%)
(10) Bard Of Brittany 8.5/1, Completed a double in ready style last month and hasn't been disgraced on the Flat since, so not ruled out for all he has another rise to conted with up in grade.
9th
9th (7) (33/1 -65%) Haafapiece
33/1(-65%)
(7) Haafapiece 33/1, Has performed respectably for most of the season but he's well exposed and seemingly vulnerable from this sort of mark. Return to this trip may suit.
10th
10th (2) (3.33/1 +49%) Solo
3.33/1(+49%)
(2) Solo 3.33/1, Made highly impressive British debut when landing the Adonis at Kempton last February. Disappointing since, though, and tongue tied tried now.
11th
11th (3) (25/1 -108%) Cervaro Mix
25/1(-108%)
(3) Cervaro Mix 25/1, Useful hurdler who has looked better than ever in two outings earlier this term, runner-up from an unpromising position at Uttoxeter on latest outing 7 months ago, so claims if he's tuned up.
12th
12th (11) (200/1 -506%) Commentariolus
200/1(-506%)
(11) Commentariolus 200/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott but final outing for that yard was uninspiring and BHA handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark.

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.
