Races & Results Saturday 4th December 2021
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Might I 1.63/1, Fairly useful bumper performer (won on debut and Newbury defeat worked out well) and impressive when making successful return/hurdles bow at Newton Abbot, quickening clear. Smart prospect.
3
3rd (8) (5/1 +17%) Outlaw Peter
5/1(+17%)
(8) Outlaw Peter 5/1, Runner-up on debut in a Navan bumper in January. Duly went one better starting out for this yard at Worcester in October and promising start over hurdles (finished lame). Back in trip and tongue tied.
5th
5th (9) (28/1 -40%) Thelasthighking
28/1(-40%)
(9) Thelasthighking 28/1, Runner-up in a point, then travelled as well as any when third in a Tipperary bumper in May. Changed hands for £65,000 after and collared close home at Wincanton. Hurdles debut.
6th
6th (6) (125/1 +17%) Minella Hub
125/1(+17%)
(6) Minella Hub 125/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Ferrobin. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points but displayed ability when fourth on last month's hurdles bow.
7th
7th (5) (100/1 -150%) Lavorante
100/1(-150%)
(5) Lavorante 100/1, Plenty of encouragement in 2 bumpers in February and showed promise starting out over hurdles when third at Fontwell in March. Disappointing return to action over C&D a month ago.
8th
8th (7) (16/1 -78%) Name In Lights
16/1(-78%)
(7) Name In Lights 16/1, €90,000 3-y-o. In need of the experience in his bumper last winter and much more like it switched to hurdling when runner-up over C&D 27 days ago. Can build on that.
LTO Selection:
12:05 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(11) Shirocco's Dream 4.5/1, £260,000 purchase who matched previous best in this sphere when landing an Exeter mares' novice (18.5f) last month, jumping superbly. Longer trip a plus now handicapping and she remains unexposed.
2
2nd (3) (7.5/1 -50%) Volkovka
7.5/1(-50%)
(3) Volkovka 7.5/1, Dual scorer last season who, in line with yard's good form found further improvement to go in again on return at Carlisle (17f) last month. Longer trip entitled to be within reach but this is tougher.
3
3rd (12) (20/1 +20%) Shantung
20/1(+20%)
(12) Shantung 20/1, Gained her first win since 2018 when bagging 2m Fakenham handicap in January. Not disgraced when fifth back there in March and another who should strip fitter for last month's Plumpton reappearance.
4
4th (4) (8/1 -60%) Kissesforkatie
8/1(-60%)
(4) Kissesforkatie 8/1, Looked unlucky not to score at Wincanton (19.7f) last November and shaped as if she would come forward for last month's reappearance effort at Lingfield (19.5f). Claims from workable mark.
5th
5th (7) (12/1 +25%) Bourbon Beauty
12/1(+25%)
(7) Bourbon Beauty 12/1, Took significant step forward when landing valuable mares' handicap final at Newbury (20.5f) in the spring. Likely her return at Wetherby in October was needed and she remains pretty low mileage.
6th
6th (1) (11/1 +8%) Whitehotchillifili
11/1(+8%)
(1) Whitehotchillifili 11/1, Overcame a blunder 2 out when landing C&D mares listed event in January but struggled to make an impact thereafter, albeit in face of stiff task at Cheltenham in March. Needs to bounce back on return.
7th
7th (6) (7/1 +13%) Emmpressive Lady
7/1(+13%)
(6) Emmpressive Lady 7/1, Progressive mare who doubled tally in this race last year before good second in Kempton handicap (3m) in December. Shorter trip caught her out at Haydock (18.8f) in April and no forlorn hope here.
8th
8th (10) (50/1 -52%) Ruby Yeats
50/1(-52%)
(10) Ruby Yeats 50/1, Landed 2m2f Exeter handicap in January but mixed record since, offering little on return from 7 months off at Fontwell (19.2f) 4 weeks ago. However, better showing anticipated in refitted cheekpieces
9th
9th (8) (25/1 -79%) Mrs Barnes
25/1(-79%)
(8) Mrs Barnes 25/1, Ask mare who built on hurdles debut promise when taking a Huntingdon mares' maiden (19.6f) in March. No match for Fable at Haydock but gets a handy weight pull with that rival now handicapping.
10th
10th (5) (16/1 -14%) Could Be Trouble
16/1(-14%)
(5) Could Be Trouble 16/1, Rapid improver over hurdles for new yard, completing 4-timer in determined style at Bangor (19.5f) in October. Seemingly not 100% over fences since and bounce back distinctly possible back over timber
|PU|
|PU| (2) (3.5/1 -5%) Fable
3.5/1(-5%)
(2) Fable 3.5/1, Irish point winner who made a bright start over hurdles last term, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in a Haydock mares' novice (3m) in March. Plenty more to come now handicapping.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (40/1 -60%) Barely Famous
40/1(-60%)
(9) Barely Famous 40/1, Didn't need to match previous best when off the mark in a Uttoxeter maiden (20f) in June. Clearly not 100% when tailed off in a match later that month but yard may hold stronger claims with Fable here
LTO Selection:
12:40 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(10) Global Agreement 50/1, Unreliable sort who ran one of his lesser races when ninth in 22f handicap at Stratford in May. Plenty more is needed on his return if he's to gain a first success.
1
1st (9) (1.5/1 +33%) Naturally High
1.5/1(+33%)
(9) Naturally High 1.5/1, Well backed when scoring easily on his handicap bow at Lingfield (2m) 34 days ago. Hiked up 12 lb but this French listed winner on the Flat has plenty more to offer and holds leading claims.
2
2nd (2) (10/1 +17%) Kamaxos
10/1(+17%)
(2) Kamaxos 10/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who matched that level of form when second of 7 in 2m handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 14 days ago. In the mix despite 3 lb rise.
3
3rd (1) (14/1 -250%) Triple Trade
14/1(-250%)
(1) Triple Trade 14/1, Has shwon promise on all his three runs, not knocked about when fourth of 16 in 2m novice at Exeter 24 days ago. More to offer now handicapping for in-form yard. Considered.
5th
5th (6) (10/1 +50%) Vocal Duke
10/1(+50%)
(6) Vocal Duke 10/1, Bagged 2m handicap wins at Uttoxeter and Fakenham in October before good tenth of 18 in 2m handicap at Cheltenham 22 days ago. Highly respected eased 1 lb now.
6th
6th (8) (40/1 -43%) Across The Channel
40/1(-43%)
(8) Across The Channel 40/1, Off 8 months before never-dangerous eighth in 2m novice hurdle at Kempton 26 days ago. Type to step forward now going into handicaps but his opening mark looks harsh.
7th
7th (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Happy And Fine
7.5/1(+6%)
(4) Happy And Fine 7.5/1, Ex-French maiden who improved on his yard bow when third of 9 in novice over C&D 27 days ago. Goes into handicaps now and he's not taken lightly off a handy opening mark.
8th
8th (3) (7.5/1 -50%) City Derby
7.5/1(-50%)
(3) City Derby 7.5/1, Scored at Perth in May and shaped encouragingly after 6 months off when fourth of 18 in 2m handicap at Cheltenham 22 days ago. In the picture nudged up only 1 lb.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (11/1 -69%) Colden's Dream
11/1(-69%)
(5) Colden's Dream 11/1, Fair maiden hurdler who was running well in 2m Leicester handicap 19 days ago when falling 3 out. One to consider.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Edwardstone 3.35/1, Smart and reliable hurdler who was brought down 4 out in the Warwick race won by Do Your Job on his chase debut and gained compensation back there 12 days later. Should go well.
2
2nd (6) (10/1 -25%) War Lord
10/1(-25%)
(6) War Lord 10/1, Useful hurdler who has fast made up into a smart chaser, winning Newton Abbot novice handicap before fending off Minella Drama in Carlisle graduation event. More to come.
3
3rd (5) (1.88/1 +6%) Third Time Lucki
1.88/1(+6%)
(5) Third Time Lucki 1.88/1, Useful winning hurdler who has returned from wind surgery with a pair of novice chase wins at Cheltenham, the latter a Grade 2 by 4¾ lengths from Sebastopol. The one to beat again.
4
4th (4) (16/1 -33%) Stolen Silver
16/1(-33%)
(4) Stolen Silver 16/1, Made a winning start for new trainer Sam Thomas in 3-runner Market Rasen novice handicap in October. Better form (smart) when narrowly denied in Cheltenham handicap since but this tougher again.
5th
5th (3) (7/1 +42%) Minella Drama
7/1(+42%)
(3) Minella Drama 7/1, Smart hurdler who made winning start over fences in 2m Uttoxeter novice handicap. Edged out by War Lord in Carlisle graduation event since but it was still a decent run. Remains capable of better.
|F|
|F| (1) (22/1 -57%) Do Your Job
22/1(-57%)
(1) Do Your Job 22/1, Smart novice hurdler last season and this point winner made a successful start to his chase career in 2m Warwick novice last month. No reason why he won't prove at least as good over fences.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (7.5/1 -50%) Il Ridoto
7.5/1(-50%)
(7) Il Ridoto 7.5/1, Pretty useful over hurdles/fences in France. Comfortably held by War Lord on Newton Abbot British debut but proved a different proposition when readily landing a Newbury handicap last week. Player.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Sandown Maiden Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Greaneteen 12/1, Runner-up in this last year before showing top-class form in the spring, notably when landing the Celebration Chase over C&D in April. Shaped as if needing return at Exeter and better expected now.
2
2nd (4) (12/1 +14%) Hitman
12/1(+14%)
(4) Hitman 12/1, Quickly made up into a smart novice last term. Creditable second in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on return but this looks a tough ask for all he remains with potential as a chaser. Tongue strap on.
3
3rd (1) (14/1 +22%) Captain Guinness
14/1(+22%)
(1) Captain Guinness 14/1, Smart chaser who proved too free when third in last season's Arkle. Back on track when winning Naas Grade 3 on return but plenty to find up against some top-class opposition.
4
4th (5) (4/1 -45%) Nube Negra
4/1(-45%)
(5) Nube Negra 4/1, Denied a clear run when ½-length second in Queen Mother Champion Chase. Failed to give running behind Chacun Pour Soi at Punchestown next time but impressive win in Grade 2 at Cheltenham on return.
5th
5th (2) (0.62/1 +25%) Chacun Pour Soi
0.62/1(+25%)
(2) Chacun Pour Soi 0.62/1, Top-class chaser. Failed to land the odds in Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham but quickly back to his very best with a dominant win in the Punchestown Champion Chase. Hard to beat on return.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(1) Highland Hunter 9/1, Ended last season in good form over fences, winning at Carlisle (26f) and signing off with a fine run in the Midlands National. More to come and has found should be ready to go on return.
2
2nd (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Deise Aba
3.5/1(-17%)
(2) Deise Aba 3.5/1, Two from two at this track (both in the Masters handicap held in February) and arrives on the back of a pleasing second over hurdles on reappearance, so demands plenty of respect.
3
3rd (10) (18/1 +18%) Eclair De Guye
18/1(+18%)
(10) Eclair De Guye 18/1, Scored at Huntingdon last December but off since pulled up at this course in the spring. Has gone well fresh, so he's not one to completely dismiss.
4
4th (6) (18/1 -50%) Red Infantry
18/1(-50%)
(6) Red Infantry 18/1, Landed the Grimthorpe at Doncaster last term and not disgraced on either start since, including at Warwick on return. Visor goes back on but others look better handicapped.
5th
5th (8) (4/1 +38%) Salty Boy
4/1(+38%)
(8) Salty Boy 4/1, Useful ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who confirmed himself a thorough stayer when grinding out victory at Fontwell last time. This is a good deal tougher, but he's relatively unexposed at this sort of trip.
6th
6th (3) (5/1 +38%) Larry
5/1(+38%)
(3) Larry 5/1, Useful chaser who has been lightly raced in recent seasons but looked as good as ever when landing a 14-runner event under a patient ride at Ascot 35 days ago. May well feature again.
7th
7th (4) (14/1 -17%) The Mighty Don
14/1(-17%)
(4) The Mighty Don 14/1, Useful chaser at his best. Stepped up on reappearance when runner-up in 5-runner event at Cheltenham last time but this bigger field will put more pressure on his jumping.
8th
8th (9) (28/1 +15%) Seaston Spirit
28/1(+15%)
(9) Seaston Spirit 28/1, Lost his way towards the end of last season and, while he may strip fitter for his reappearance over hurdles at Ffos Las 27 days ago, it would take a leap of faith to think he can land this.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (6/1 -33%) Strictlyadancer
6/1(-33%)
(7) Strictlyadancer 6/1, Patiently-ridden chaser whose form has taken off lately, completing the hat-trick with something to spare at Haydock a fortnight ago. Has more on his plate in a competitive affair.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (12/1 -71%) Christmas In April
12/1(-71%)
(5) Christmas In April 12/1, Useful chaser who capitalised on a reduced mark when back to form at Newton Abbot in the spring. Good second at Carlisle on reappearance and remains feasibly treated on old form.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 2) 29f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(11) Natural History 11/1, Back to something like his smart Flat form when hacking up in a Plumpton handicap hurdle in March. Has proved rather disappointing since, though, and Hudson de Grugy appears to be the stable No 1.
1
1st (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Samarrive
8.5/1(-6%)
(7) Samarrive 8.5/1, Winner of sole start in France and created a good impression when landing a Kempton novice on British debut in April. Failed to a blow on Cheltenham reappearance, but he remains with potential.
2
2nd (8) (14/1 -56%) Zambezi Fix
14/1(-56%)
(8) Zambezi Fix 14/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish hurdler who was runner-up on each of his 3 completed starts over fences last term. Going well when falling 3 out on Ffos Las return, but improvement needed back in this sphere.
3
3rd (10) (20/1 +20%) Thibault
20/1(+20%)
(10) Thibault 20/1, Thrived for new yard last term, landing 2 handicap hurdles and a jumpers bumper. Has continued in good form this time round, second in a decent Haydock handicap latest, but this is more demanding.
4
4th (4) (5.5/1 -38%) Benson
5.5/1(-38%)
(4) Benson 5.5/1, Winner of first 3 starts last term, including the 2020 renewal of this race off 8 lb lower. Didn't shape badly following a wind op on return at Cheltenham (21f) and this drop back in trip will help.
5th
5th (6) (12/1 +25%) Miss Heritage
12/1(+25%)
(6) Miss Heritage 12/1, Most consistent and genuine mare who was runner-up in the C&D Imperial Cup off a 1 lb higher mark in March. By no means disgraced on return at Ascot, but this demands a clear career-best.
6th
6th (5) (4/1 +43%) Hudson De Grugy
4/1(+43%)
(5) Hudson De Grugy 4/1, Ex-French bumper winner who made it 3 wins from 4 starts over this C&D when landing a 6-runner handicap on return last month. Now 4 lb higher in a stronger race, but merits respect all the same.
8th
8th (9) (8/1 +6%) Elham Valley
8/1(+6%)
(9) Elham Valley 8/1, Got the better of Hudson de Grugy in a C&D juvenile event on this card last year, and fine third in Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March. Should come on for Ascot reappearance and he's a player..
9th
9th (12) (50/1 -178%) Heure De Gloire
50/1(-178%)
(12) Heure De Gloire 50/1, Successful in a mares' hurdle on sole start in France, and found just one too good in a Huntingdon juvenile (15.8f) for new yard in March (wind op since). Opening mark looks fair and she's unexposed.
10th
10th (1) (16/1 +11%) Navajo Pass
16/1(+11%)
(1) Navajo Pass 16/1, Progressed again last term, landing Musselburgh handicap and Haydock Grade 2. However, underperformed at Wincanton when last seen (wind op since) and further progress is needed off this mark.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Metier
3.33/1(+5%)
(3) Metier 3.33/1, Looked good when winning first 3 starts over timber, including the C&D Tolworth Hurdle. Flopped at the Cheltenham Festival in March, though, and mark for handicap debut in this sphere looks tough.

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.
