1st (2)  (9/2 -50%)Felton Bellevue |
9/2(-50%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Felton Bellevue 9/2, Winless for over 2 years, in which time he's finished place on 6 occasions, including when third of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy) 23 days ago. Should give his running again. Last win was in Feb 2022; mainly sound efforts this term and should go well again. |
|
2nd (6)  (7/1 -180%)Wide To West |
7/1(-180%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wide To West 7/1, In first-time blinkers and fared better than previously under Rules when- second of 4 in handicap chase (5/1) at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time here and he should stay long distances, so holds place claims again if able to back that up. Two fair efforts this term including after a wind op with blinkers last time; a possible. |
|
|PU| (4)  (4/1 +60%)Tiny Tantrum |
4/1(+60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tiny Tantrum 4/1, Captalised on a falling mark to land 2¾m Stratford handicap hurdle (heavy) in April. Came on for his seasonal return when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this here (soft) 61 days ago and he's not discounted on chase bow. Stratford hurdle winner on heavy last April; fair effort last time; first run over fences. |
|
|PU| (3)  (5/1 +38%)Unwanted Attention |
5/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Unwanted Attention 5/1, Off mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2½m) in June. Showed aptitude when fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences in December and he's entitled to come on for that experience. Won a novice hurdle in June; fair fifth on chase debut; first run on soft/3m; bit to prove. |
|
|PU| (5)  (10/1 +50%)Patient Owner |
10/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Patient Owner 10/1, Found just one too good on chase debut at Uttoxeter in December 2022 but has gone the wrong way since and pulled up all 3 starts this season. Fair form last term; pulled up on all 3 starts this season (after a wind op last time). |
|
|PU| (1)  (15/8 -7%)Samourai One |
15/8(-7%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Samourai One 15/8, Modest hurdler bettered his efforts in that sphere when winning a 7-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft, 4/1) on chase debut last month. Manner of that victory was impressive and he rates as the one to beat again from 9 lb higher mark. Off the mark on chase debut at Market Rasen (form sound); the one to beat despite 9lb rise. |
|
|PU| (7)  (50/1 -52%)Moroval |
50/1(-52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moroval 50/1, Sole win came here in November 2022 but nothing to write home about of late and he's opposable again. Disappointing since 100-1 win over C&D in 2022 and would be a surprise winner again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having won in good style on his chase debut SAMOURAI ONE (nap) can follow up despite a 9lb hike up the handicap.

8/11(+34%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fiston De Becon 8/11, Dual-winning hurdler who has made a promising start over fences this season, no extra only close home when third in handicap at Carlisle (20f, heavy) last time. Could be ready to open his chase account back down in trip with tongue strap reapplied. Won over 2m/2m2f over hurdles; good third over fences last time (2m4f); chance. |
|
2nd (3)  (10/3 +0%)Great Samourai |
10/3(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Great Samourai 10/3, Had been disputing the lead when falling 2 out in an Irish point and showed fair form in maiden hurdles last spring. After 6 months off, ran to a similar level when second at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) on handicap/chase debut in October. First run for yard after leaving Dan Skelton. £12,000 buy from the Skeltons in Jan; fair over hurdles and on chase debut; stable debut. |
|
3rd (4)  (7/2 +22%)Abaya Du Mathan |
7/2(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Abaya Du Mathan 7/2, Returned to form when runner-up on first 2 starts for his current yard and quickly left behind a lesser effort when beating his sole rival at this C&D (soft) in January. However, no match for a pair of younger rivals back here (20.4f) on his latest outing. £4000 buy in October; fair form since, including match win over C&D; acts on soft; chance. |
|
4th (1)  (12/1 -200%)Post No Bills |
12/1(-200%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Post No Bills 12/1, Has enjoyed a productive campaign in handicap chases, gaining his third success of the season when readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) in September. Shaped as if still in good form when third over hurdles the following month, so he's not taken lightly back over fences. Won three times at up to 2m5f last year; back after a break on going that isn't ideal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Despite dropping in trip FISTON DE BECON makes most appeal having shaped with plenty of promise on all three starts over fences.

7/4(-27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barlovento 7/4, 7/2, third of 10 in bumper at Chepstow (2m, heavy) on debut 48 days ago. May do better for a yard with a strong bumper record. 77,000euros 3yo; fair third at 7-2 in Chepstow bumper in January; improvement likely. |
|
2nd (3)  (15/2 -114%)J'aime El Mars |
15/2(-114%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) J'aime El Mars 15/2, €42,000 Elm Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Un de Sceaux. Starts out in an ordinary bumper and a market move could prove significant. French-bred; 42,000euros 3yo; from family of smart Un De Sceaux; worth a market check. |
|
3rd (2)  (80/1 -21%)Icare Colombe |
80/1(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Icare Colombe 80/1, 80/1, seventh of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen on debut last March. Can only watch on return. Half-brother to winning pointer; well-beaten 80-1 shot on debut last March; more needed. |
|
4th (5)  (6/5 +47%)Strong Foundations |
6/5(+47%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Strong Foundations 6/5, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Promising first effort under Rules when fourth of 15 at Cheltenham in October and seemed to unsuited by a much sharper track when only fifth at Catterick 2 months later. Can bounce back after a 3-month break. Ex-Irish pointer; fair form in two bumpers including fourth at Cheltenham; chance. |
|
5th (4)  (66/1 -780%)Joyeux Mans |
66/1(-780%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Joyeux Mans 66/1, Pulled up sole start in points and ran to only a modest level when 10 lengths second of 4 in a Bangor bumper in December. Has changed yards since. Second of four in a bumper on rules debut before 10,500gns sale; more needed. |
|
6th (6)  (6/1 +57%)Desiderata |
6/1(+57%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Desiderata 6/1, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Little Awkward. Stable 0-13 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons but Sam Twiston-Davies (2-7 for yard) is an interesting booking. Worth a look in the betting. Half-brother to a bumper winner out of a 9f Flat winner; likely type; worth a market check. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The vote goes to the ex-Irish pointer STRONG FOUNDATIONS, who has shaped quite well in his two bumpers so far.

1st (1)  (7/4 -40%)Fortunate Man |
7/4(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fortunate Man 7/4, €210,000 buy after winning an Irish point in April. Unseated early on his Ffos Las hurdle debut but soon made up for that misfortune when winning an 18-runner novice in the style of a useful prospect at Newbury (16.3f, heavy). Disappointing at Wetherby since but given a break and now up in trip. Won sole Irish point; 2m maiden win followed by lesser effort but step up in trip can suit. |
|
2nd (2)  (4/6 +8%)Livin On Luco |
4/6(+8%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Livin On Luco 4/6, Runner-up in an Irish point and quick to show fairly useful form in this sphere, landing 10-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy). Cheekpieces fitted and he matched that form when runner-up under a penalty at Taunton. One to beat. Stout staying performance to win over 2m3f, then kept battling at Taunton since; solid. |
|
3rd (4)  (10/1 +17%)Kaltender |
10/1(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kaltender 10/1, Third foal, half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner Carole's Pass (2m-3m winner, by Authorized). Dam (h142), 2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Carole's Legacy. Tongue tied on debut. Useful pedigree; should be suited by at least this far but already tongue tied for debut. |
|
|F| (6)  (50/1 -52%)Miss Maverick |
50/1(-52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Miss Maverick 50/1, Second of 4 in a Uttoxeter bumper last spring. Likely she needed the run on last month's hurdles debut and this will reveal more. Some bumper promise but was well adrift on hurdle debut last month; task no easier here. |
|
|PU| (3)  (80/1 -60%)Blue Dauphin |
80/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blue Dauphin 80/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Late Night Lily and out of a bumper/2m-19f hurdle winner (stayed 21f). Reportedly bled on belated debut at Huntingdon in October. 40-1 for Huntingon debut in October, when he bled from the nose and last of six finishers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This is best left to Fortunate Man and LIVIN ON LUCO, with the latter preferred as he has already proved himself over similar trips

1st (2)  (6/4 +40%)Our Pink Lady |
6/4(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Our Pink Lady 6/4, Opened her account at fifth attempt for this yard when landing a heavy-ground C&D handicap a couple of weeks ago, proving 4¾ lengths too good for Young At Heart. 5 lb rise fair enough and she's a big player with Harry Cobden again in the hot-seat. Produced impressive finish over C&D on third handicap start; capable of better back up 5lb. |
|
2nd (1)  (10/1 -82%)Walkinthecotswolds |
10/1(-82%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Walkinthecotswolds 10/1, Pulled up on hurdles debut at Taunton in December but has made the frame on each of her 3 subsequent starts, chasing home a progressive type at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) a fortnight ago. Shouldn't be too far away if able to build on that now pitched into a handicap. Stays 2m4f on soft and has a greater chance of success now switched to a handicap. |
|
3rd (3)  (9/4 +36%)Young At Heart |
9/4(+36%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Young At Heart 9/4, Stepped up on low-key form in maiden/novice company when second to Our Pink Lady on handicap debut over this C&D last time. The first-time hood she sported that day is retained and while she's clearly not entirely straightforward, a 6 lb pull with that rival gives her a fighting chance. Similar chance to Our Pink Lady on recent C&D form but probably needs extra, even so. |
|
4th (4)  (5/2 -100%)Ruler Of The River |
5/2(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ruler Of The River 5/2, Just a modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jack Davison but is developing intoa fairly useful performer in this sphere judged on her decisive success in a Kelso maiden hurdle (16.2f, soft) 8 days ago. May well have more to offer now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Signs of ability on Flat in Ireland; ready winner in 2m maiden hurdle latest; new trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Our Pink Lady was a good C&D winner last time but RULER OF THE RIVER should be well treated now handicapping, even with a penalty.

5/2(-11%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hostile Hotelier 5/2, Made a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Hexham in November. Good second here since and also on his chasing debut when runner-up at Newcastle. Player back in this sphere off a handy-looking mrk. 2m novice handicap hurdle winner who has run creditably last twice; up in trip; a possible. |
|
2nd (2)  (5/2 +0%)Flying Fortune |
5/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flying Fortune 5/2, Dual bumper winner whofposted a good second in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (17f) in October. Below-par fifth of 8 at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 127 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap debut with more needed. Dual bumper winner; good second in novice hurdle in October (heavy); chance on h'cap debut. |
|
3rd (4)  (11/4 +0%)Jubilee Gold |
11/4(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jubilee Gold 11/4, Lightly-raced hurdle winner who got back on track when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) 40 days ago. Can go well again with that form having been franked. Maiden hurdle winner; best run since long break when second last time (form sound); chance. |
|
4th (1)  (6/1 -33%)Pozo Emery |
6/1(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pozo Emery 6/1, Promising novice hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2021. Pulled up in 2 chase starts for new yard since returning from a long absence but not disgraced when placed in 2m handicap hurdles at Leicester and Sandown subsequently. Cheekpieces go back on and possibilities. Useful novice for Paul Nicholls; off 933 days; on a good mark; chance with headgear tried. |
|
5th (5)  (10/1 +9%)Quian |
10/1(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Quian 10/1, Smart at one time on the Flat and he opened his account over hurdles in 2m handicap at Taunton in December. Only fifth of 6 at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 39 days ago though so more is required. Seven-time Flat winner; won on h'cap debut over hurdles (2m); should fare better at 2m4f. |
|
6th (6)  (50/1 -52%)Over Milk Wood |
50/1(-52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Over Milk Wood 50/1, Modest form over hurdles in Ireland for Olivia Hegarty in 2021. Offered little on his comeback run for his new handler when a remote fifth in Bangor novice 19 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Ex-Irish; modest form so far including on stable stable after a break of 907 days. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up in what turned out to be a good race at Sedgefield last time, JUBILEE GOLD is taken to win for the second time over hurdles.

7/2(-133%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) I'm On My Way 7/2, Improved to make a successful handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) in December and was in the process of running well when unseating rider 3 out at Doncaster the following month. Not taken lightly. Improved for 2m4f on soft when winning handicap debut; unseated 3 out over 3m since. |
|

7/4(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Innisfree Lass 7/4, Aided by first-time headgear when opening account in 6-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy, 5/1) 29 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Powered home over C&D on heavy last month; back up 6lb; proven staying ability a big plus. |
|

11/8(+90%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) R Bernard 11/8, Poor maiden hurdler and little impact in 4 starts over fences. Ran no sort of race back over timber in November and remains to be seen if switch to new yard brings about improvement. Close 2nd in 3m hurdle in March 2022 but showed very little in 2023; new yard. |
|

14/1(-133%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Guguss Collonges 14/1, Successful over fences at Stratford (22.6f) and Lingfield (23.5f) in November. However, has run poorly on his last 2 starts, so needs to get back on track returned to hurdling (still looking for his first win in this sphere). Two chase wins at 2m7f in November (soft/good to soft); pulled up on heavy last twice. |
|
|PU| (3)  (25/1 -79%)Camilla's Choice |
25/1(-79%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Camilla's Choice 25/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f) in August. However, been very disappointing in both outings since and has something to prove now. Exposed in Ireland; off the mark on 2nd start for yard (2m7f, good); big ground query. |
|

33/1(-136%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Clarehill 33/1, Maiden Irish pointer who hasn't shaped with much encouragement over hurdles as yet. May do better now sent handicapping, although is 3 lb out of the weights here. Modest form in Irish points and maiden hurdles; lowly mark now handicapping. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
I'm On My Way shapes as though she will stay 3m but INNISFREE LASS has already proved her stamina in the mud and is preferred.

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.
