13:30 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (9/2 -50%) Cawthorne Cracker	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(8) Cawthorne Cracker 9/2, Off the mark in Exeter handicap (16.7f) last October and may have found race coming too soon when pulled up at same course 12 days later. Not taken lightly on return to action. Won in October; off since lesser effort soon afterwards but probably still has potential.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +31%) Evenwood Sonofagun	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Evenwood Sonofagun 11/4, Shaped better than the bare result back in a tongue strap after 3 months off at Worcester (every chance when bad mistake 2 out) but remains a maiden. Drops back in trip now. Only faded out of contention from final flight at Worcester this month; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +0%) Magistrato	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Magistrato 9/2, Won novices' handicap chase at Warwick (2m) a year ago on final start for Paul Nicholls. Mostly creditable efforts for this yard and down in class back hurdling after a wind op now. Wouldn't rule out. Quirky customer; well held when third in latest chase; back hurdling after a wind op.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 -20%) Lost In The Mist	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Lost In The Mist 4/1, Shaping up well over hurdles, ideally needing stronger gallop over further here last time. Cheekpieces go on back in trip now and he remains with potential. In the frame all four starts, the last twice in handicaps; back in trip with headgear on.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -843%) Bridge Road	66 66/1(-843%)	(5) Bridge Road 66/1, Won bare 2m Leicester novice handicap hurdle in November 2022. Should be better for last month's Perth run, his first for more than a year, and 4 lb lower in refitted cheekpieces here. Worth a look. Probably unlucky not to win off 6lb higher last spring; may have needed last month's run.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -1329%) Lone Soldier	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Lone Soldier 100/1, Free-going sort produced his best effort over hurdles when third in the mud at Wetherby (2m) in March. No show on chase debut subsequently though and since let go cheaply out of Dan Skelton's stable. New yard among the winners. Placed twice over hurdles last season; sold for £2,000 after flopping on chase debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -614%) Glance At Me	100 100/1(-614%)	(6) Glance At Me 100/1, Won at Plumpton and Fakenham last season. Something perhaps not right with her at present though judged on her capitulations the last twice. Career-best form when winning in April but two very disappointing runs have followed.
9	9 \|RR\| (9) (125/1 -279%) Fort Nelson	125 125/1(-279%)	(9) Fort Nelson 125/1, Little worthwhile form. Unplaced all six starts over hurdles and is 11lb wrong here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/6 +34%) Juan Bermudez	0.833333 5/6(+34%)	(1) Juan Bermudez 5/6, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 2m. Made the most of a good opportunity when off the mark over hurdles in 10-runner novice over C&D 17 days ago and remains with potential. Has improved with experience over hurdles and scored over C&D last month; major player.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +0%) Jazz King	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Jazz King 9/2, Looked a useful prospect when making a winning chase debut at Ludlow on final outing for Sam Thomas. Pulled up both starts over fences for new yard last season, though did show some ability remains back hurdling at Bangor last month. Pulled up in two chases this year but fared much better when back hurdling last month.
3	10 3rd (10) (80/1 -100%) Flighttothestars	80 80/1(-100%)	(10) Flighttothestars 80/1, Minor promise at best in bumpers and finished a long way behind Juan Bermudez on hurdling debut over C&D 17 days ago. Not disgraced over C&D on hurdling debut but minor role is probably her best hope.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 +0%) Paddys Island	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Paddys Island 33/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam made frame completed start in points. Last of 8 finishers sole start in Irish points (May 2023). Well beaten on Irish point debut 13 months ago and not seen again since.
5th	2 5th (2) (100/1 -3900%) Pleasant Man	100 100/1(-3900%)	(2) Pleasant Man 100/1, Useful stayer on Flat. Yet to get near that level over hurdles but opened his account after 4 months off (from Flat) in 12-runner maiden at Fakenham (2m) 16 days ago and likely to be very competitive under a penalty. Led close home at Fakenham (2m) this month and today's longer trip will suit.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -733%) Runaway Bride	100 100/1(-733%)	(8) Runaway Bride 100/1, Showed a bit when fifth of 9 in bumper (8/1) at Tipperary (18f, good to soft) on debut 40 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Grainne O'Connor. Not disgraced in Irish bumper last month; improvement needed on stable/hurdle debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -1233%) Stage Show	100 100/1(-1233%)	(7) Stage Show 100/1, Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m, best effort in 2024 when second in handicap in April. No forlorn hope if taking to this new discipline. Fair Flat-racer who has been placed a few times at up to 1m4f; makes hurdling debut today.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (200/1 -203%) Simply Gorgeous	200 200/1(-203%)	(9) Simply Gorgeous 200/1, Fair at best on Flat and offered little tried hurdling when eighth of 12 to Pleasant Man in maiden at Fakenham (16f, good) 16 days ago Towards rear throughout when 100-1 for recent Fakenham maiden hurdle won by Pleasant Man.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (100/1 -525%) Boundary Jack	100 100/1(-525%)	(3) Boundary Jack 100/1, Down the field in bumpers and major improvement needed on hurdles debut in a first-time hood. Showed only minor promise in bumpers, finishing weakly on all three occasions.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (300/1 -650%) Elrondo	300 300/1(-650%)	(4) Elrondo 300/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam, little promise in bumpers, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Attribution. Pulled up sole start in points (May 31). Pulled up in a maiden point on last month's debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (17/2 +47%) Jazzmina Queen	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(6) Jazzmina Queen 17/2, No show in bumper/novice hurdle. In good hands but has shown next to nothing in both her starts.
1	2 1st (2) (Evens +85%) Go Go Chicago	0 Evens(+85%)	(2) Go Go Chicago Evens, Shirocco gelding. Closely related to bumper winner Windswept Girl and half-brother to a point winner. Dam (c118/h124), 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m, became unreliable) Montana Glen. Has had a breathing operation ahead of debut. Newcomer; his rivals don't set the bar very high so he needs considering.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -69%) Pacific	11 11/1(-69%)	(8) Pacific 11/1, Down the field sole outing in bumpers but has shaped with some promise on both outings over hurdles and can't be dismissed in an ordinary affair. Limited on the Flat but some promise in two hurdle starts on good ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (66/1 -100%) Golden Moonshake	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Golden Moonshake 66/1, Well held in bumpers/maiden hurdle. Uncompetitive in two Taunton bumpers (soft) and again on hurdling debut when 100-1.
4	9 4th (9) (200/1 -100%) Bubblecraft	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Bubblecraft 200/1, Fair at up to 13f on the Flat in France but has failed to complete all 3 outings over hurdles (pulled up first 2 starts). French Flat winner but poor form in both codes since arriving in Britain.
5th	7 5th (7) (250/1 -279%) Lucille Diamond	250 250/1(-279%)	(7) Lucille Diamond 250/1, Has failed to beat a rival in 2 bumpers. Last to finish and tailed off in bumpers at Uttoxeter and Huntingdon.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (100/1 -1150%) Highly Recommended	100 100/1(-1150%)	(3) Highly Recommended 100/1, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful winner up to 1½m winner Appointed. Well held in sole bumper at Hereford 7 months ago and now tries hurdling. Never sighted with a chance when beaten 23l in a good-ground bumper at Hereford.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (6/4 -317%) Six And Out	1.5 6/4(-317%)	(1) Six And Out 6/4, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, not needing to improve much more to open his account in 10-runner novice over C&D 17 days ago. The one to beat under a penalty. Penalised for recent C&D victory but this looks an even weaker race.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (150/1 -50%) Habibi	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Habibi 150/1, Made a promising debut in a Newbury bumper in December but well below that level next 2 outings and made an inauspicious start over hurdles for new yard over C&D 17 days ago. Pulled up on hurdle/stable debut here when a 200-1 chance and isn't progressing.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (150/1 -200%) Rocky Breese	150 150/1(-200%)	(5) Rocky Breese 150/1, Unplaced in a couple of points and showed nothing with a hood fitted on C&D hurdle debut 17 days ago. Beaten 21l and 16l in two point bumpers; jumped moderately when pulled up here 17 days ago.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -20%) Theonlywayiswessex	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Theonlywayiswessex 6/1, Dual AW Flat winner who went close at Wolverhampton in April before making a creditable return to jumping when 3½ lengths third of 10 to Dusky Days over C&D last month. In the mix again. Went close on the Flat in April and ran big race in defeat in C&D chase last month.
2	9 2nd (9) (40/1 +0%) Invincible Wish	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Invincible Wish 40/1, Veteran who went close over C&D in June 2022 but he hasn't made much of an impact since, including finishing a remote fourth to Clean Getaway at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Ran quite well when fifth over C&D last month but is out of the weights again today.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -56%) Clean Getaway	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(7) Clean Getaway 7/2, Long-standing maiden over hurdles but much improved when making a winning start to his chase career over 17f at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Did that easily and a 10 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him if in a similar mood. 0-17 over hurdles but won by 13l from out of the weights on recent chasing debut.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 -100%) Bbob Alula	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Bbob Alula 100/1, Modest Flat winner. Limited impact in 4 hurdle starts earlier in career. Can only watch on chase debut. Not seen over jumps since heavy defeat on handicap hurdle debut in September 2022.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -900%) Henry Box Brown	100 100/1(-900%)	(5) Henry Box Brown 100/1, Opened his account over hurdles in December 2022. Mixed record since but his latest 10 lengths second over C&D was a step back in the right direction. Needs to show he can build on that now. Kept on for modest second over C&D this month but is far too inconsistent to rely upon.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -2757%) Ferrybridge	100 100/1(-2757%)	(2) Ferrybridge 100/1, A fair winning hurdler/chaser who was left clear at the last when opening his chase account at Huntingdon (16.5f, good to soft) in March. Creditable placed efforts last 3 starts and likely to give it another good go. Scored at Huntingdon in March and recent efforts suggests he'll be play a major role here.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -313%) Full Of Light	66 66/1(-313%)	(8) Full Of Light 66/1, Fair chaser at his peak but largely struggled last season. Off 169 days. Has claims if judged on Hereford fourth in November but overall profile not persuasive.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 -809%) Politicianspromise	100 100/1(-809%)	(4) Politicianspromise 100/1, Tailed off in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in 2021 and won once from 10 starts in points subsequently. Better effort in novice hurdles for new yard last month when sixth of 13 over 19f at Warwick 19 days ago. Needs keeping a close eye on in the betting now handicap chasing. Displayed minor promise in maiden hurdle last month; makes chase/handicap debut today.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (66/1 -2100%) Dusky Days	66 66/1(-2100%)	(1) Dusky Days 66/1, Bounced back to form with a bang after a 5-month break when winning a C&D handicap 30 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Respected up 3 lb. Kept on strongly on run-in to score over C&D last month, his third chasing start.

1	8 1st (8) (14/1 -40%) Donnie Azoff	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Donnie Azoff 14/1, Doubled his tally in this sphere when leading from pillar to post in a 3-runner C&D novice in September. However, he was turned over when odds-on for a seller back here on latest start in November. Beaten odds-on favourite in small-field seller here in November and not seen again since.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +68%) Takeit Easy	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(5) Takeit Easy 9/2, Back to winning ways over 2m at Chepstow last April and cracking third in the Swinton at Haydock the following month. Not at that level in 2 starts since returning from 10 months off but his mark is on the slide and no surprise if he's in the mix. Safely held at Cheltenham in April but this race is easier and he's on a good mark now.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/2 -100%) King Otis	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(9) King Otis 11/2, Made it 4 wins from 7 starts for this yard when striking at Fakenham (2m, good) recently. 4 lb rise fair enough and anither bold show is very much on the cards. 2-3 since the tongue-tie was refitted last month; taken very seriously in current form.
4	7 4th (7) (16/5 -16%) Get Sky High	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(7) Get Sky High 16/5, Point/bumper winner who missed 17 months after her hurdling debut but confirmed previous promise in this sphere when winning a 2m Warwick maiden. Duly followed up from the front on handicap bow over the same C&D since and a 5 lb rise should be manageable. Low-mileage 9yo mare who struck form and made all twice against own sex at Warwick in May.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -300%) Manor Park	100 100/1(-300%)	(6) Manor Park 100/1, Got his head in front off a 3 lb higher mark at Newton Abbot last summer but there's been little to shout about since returning to action for new yard this year. Will be very well suited by today's ground but harmed chance by jumping right last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -525%) Vision Des Flos	100 100/1(-525%)	(4) Vision Des Flos 100/1, Successful in handicap chase at Warwick in September 2022 but failed to threaten in 3 starts back hurdling last year and is opposable following a 6-month break. Smart hurdler/chaser in his prime but out of sorts when last seen in September.
7th	3 7th (3) (100/1 -1329%) Forever William	100 100/1(-1329%)	(3) Forever William 100/1, Returned from 7 months off to win at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) in November but hasn't shown much in 2 subsequent starts, including when returning from another break last month. Hard to now know what to expect on debut for new yard and Harry Skelton prefers Get Sky High. Bought for £5,000 after poor run for Alan King last month; yard's other one more obvious.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 -3536%) Ilanz	100 100/1(-3536%)	(1) Ilanz 100/1, Made light of an 11-month absence on debut for Anthony Charlton at Wincanton in January, leading on the line. Sketchy jump at the final flight was probably costly when second to stablemate Tronador starting out for this yard at Plumpton (20.5f, good to firm) last month. Big player. Ran well in defeat on recent stable debut and should cope with this drop back in trip.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -400%) As Tears Go By	100 100/1(-400%)	(2) As Tears Go By 100/1, Hit the target twice for Gordon Elliott last May but form tailed off badly thereafter and probably best watched on debut for new yard. 3-8 over hurdles in Ireland; out of form last summer/autumn; makes stable debut today.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 -67%) Bbold	5 5/1(-67%)	(6) Bbold 5/1, C&D winner who has acquitted himself well in a handful of starts for current yard, latest when third of 10 in handicap chase at this course (27.5f, good, 5/1) 17 days ago. Drop back in trip a plus and figures off a handy mark. Might find this trip shorter than ideal but should again be competitive in current form.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -78%) Do No Wrong	4 4/1(-78%)	(5) Do No Wrong 4/1, Form took off last summer, winning 3 times at up to 24f, and back on scoreboard when taking 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. 4 lb rise fair and another bold bid anticipated. Made it 4-8 over fences when good value for his narrow win at Southwell; up just 4lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -371%) Storm Control	33 33/1(-371%)	(1) Storm Control 33/1, Not the force of old and stopped to nothing when last seen at Doncaster 107 days ago. Hard to recommend with confidence despite an attractive handicap mark. Has seen little action in recent times and needs to stage a revival.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +54%) Gloire D'athon	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(4) Gloire D'athon 11/2, Prolific early in his chasing career (winning 5 of his first 6 starts) but lost his way last season. Tumbled down the weights and hinted at a revival over a longer trip at Uttoxeter last month but couldn't really build on that at Fakenham latest. Others more persuasive. His reduced mark is for a reason and others arrive here in better nick.
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -900%) Dan's Chosen	100 100/1(-900%)	(7) Dan's Chosen 100/1, Triple chase winner in 2023, jumping fluently for latest of them at Ludlow (20.1f)in October. Below par in a couple of recent outings, however, and others appeal more. Latest chase start was underwhelming, for all that he needs further than 2m3f.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -400%) Glengeever	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Glengeever 100/1, Point winner/dual winner over hurdles who made most of good opportunity when landing 2-runner Exeter novice chase (24.2f) in October. However, folded tamely at Southwell on only start since and is best watched. Only chase win came in a match; stopped quickly at Southwell after a lengthy break.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (80/1 -567%) On Springs	80 80/1(-567%)	(3) On Springs 80/1, Not entirely straightforward but thrived during summer of 2022, winning 4 times, and added to his tally when landing a small-field handicap chase at Doncaster early last year. Not seen to best effect, back from lengthy absence, at Southwell last month but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Quiet return was over hurdles and he's a five-time chaser winner on a handy mark.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -2903%) Bagheera Ginge	100 100/1(-2903%)	(2) Bagheera Ginge 100/1, Winner of 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles and given a well-judged ride from the front when opening chase account at the seventh attempt at Warwick (20f) in October. Posted solid placed efforts both starts since and is likely to go well again. Dual hurdle winner and a good-ground winner over fences; last two runs very respectable.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -367%) Come On Nia	14 14/1(-367%)	(3) Come On Nia 14/1, Telescope mare who attracted support and showed improved form following 10 weeks off when landing 13-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago, the better ground a possible factor. Still lightly raced and she could do better again. Displayed huge improvement to win at Ffos Las last month and is open to further progress.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -11%) Sanitiser	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(1) Sanitiser 10/3, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat. Yet to strike over hurdles but has been knocking on the door in similar company this spring, good third at Huntingdon (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Should be thereabouts again with cheekpieces refitted. Back from break with three good runs this spring; probably on the premises again.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -120%) Ned Cash	22 22/1(-120%)	(7) Ned Cash 22/1, Some promise in bumpers but offered little in trio of novice/maiden hurdle runs in recent weeks. Marked step forward required on handicap bow. Well beaten in three novice/maiden hurdles but may yet deliver on his bumper promise.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +39%) Tessy Lad	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(6) Tessy Lad 11/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who was placed in a pair of juvenile hurdles for Richard Hughes in 2022/23. Has essentially disappointed under both codes so far for new yard but it would look significant if support came for him again. Has quite a bit to prove over hurdles but was heavily backed last month; watch the market.
5th	10 5th (10) (125/1 -681%) Saved Lizzie	125 125/1(-681%)	(10) Saved Lizzie 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden who merely hinted at ability on second of 3 runs in mares' novice/maiden hurdles and another needing to take a marked step forward for switch to handicaps. Not beaten far when sixth in modest maiden two starts ago but needs to improve here.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -1011%) Come To Pass	100 100/1(-1011%)	(5) Come To Pass 100/1, Modest handicapper on Flat who hasn't fared all that badly away from testing ground over hurdles of late, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) 19 days ago. Not ruled out for each-way purposes from a steadily easing mark. Not beaten far in first two handicap hurdles and has each-way claims at least.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -1233%) Royal Max	100 100/1(-1233%)	(8) Royal Max 100/1, Modest form at best for Nicky Henderson and fared better than previously for new yard of late, again making the frame when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f) 2 weeks ago. Comes here operating from career-low mark if he can take another step forward. Has arrested his decline with two Southwell thirds this spring; could have a say.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (100/1 -614%) Daniel Deronda	100 100/1(-614%)	(4) Daniel Deronda 100/1, Modest maiden hurdler who ended time with Amy Murphy below his best on the Flat and offered little back from 8 months off/back over hurdles at Fakenham (2m) for new yard in March. Needs to leave that well behind to figure. Ran well to a point on stable debut in March but off for another three months since.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -150%) Gladys Eva Jane	100 100/1(-150%)	(9) Gladys Eva Jane 100/1, Fair form in bumpers for Peter Bowen (sold £5,000) but little promise over hurdles, again well held when sixth of 12 in handicap at Stratford (16.3f) 17 days ago. Can only be watched at present. Didn't run badly over 2m here this month but significant improvement is required.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (250/1 -400%) Darquesse	250 250/1(-400%)	(11) Darquesse 250/1, Offered little in novice/maiden company over hurdles to date and hard to fancy now handicapping from long way out of the weights. Well beaten a massive odds on all five hurdling starts (including a seller).

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (10/3 -122%) Climate Precedent	3.333333 10/3(-122%)	(2) Climate Precedent 10/3, Fair maiden on the Flat for Michael Bell who made a solid yard (for James Owen)/hurdling debut when second at Uttoxeter in July. Failed to progress after but starts life with Dan Skelton off a potentially decent mark on return (has had breathing operation). Placed off 5lb higher on handicap debut in November; looks interesting on stable debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 -450%) Lookingdandy	33 33/1(-450%)	(9) Lookingdandy 33/1, Didn't shown much spark in 6 runs over hurdles for previous yard but arrives in good form off the Flat (won last time) so interesting to see how he fares this time around. Has a lot to prove over hurdles but returns to this code after a Flat win last month.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -367%) Ryder's Rock	28 28/1(-367%)	(6) Ryder's Rock 28/1, Poor maiden. Creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (2¼m) but disappointed at Hereford since. Stayed on for third in April, after a break, but didn't build on that effort last month.
4	3 4th (3) (100/1 -1438%) Zhang Fei	100 100/1(-1438%)	(3) Zhang Fei 100/1, Fair winner on Flat who has looked difficult over hurdles, pulling hard and left with plenty to do when fifth at Southwell on handicap bow. Caught the eye making headway from a long way off the pace on recent handicap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -1900%) City Roller	100 100/1(-1900%)	(5) City Roller 100/1, Maiden who has run better with a tongue tie added to visor last 4 starts, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 13 days ago. This less competitive. 0-10 over hurdles but ran big race from the front when second here (2m2f) last month.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -300%) Oval Street	40 40/1(-300%)	(4) Oval Street 40/1, Multiple point winner but only modest form over obstacles so far, placed last 2 starts. Opening mark in this sphere not kind. Didn't achieve a great deal when making the frame in two uncompetitive maiden hurdles.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -809%) Tampico Rocco	100 100/1(-809%)	(8) Tampico Rocco 100/1, Potentially on a good mark on the form he showed when seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago but he seemed to excel himself that day. Ran well for a long way in recent Hereford maiden; improvement possible in handicaps.
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -300%) Sister Julienne	80 80/1(-300%)	(7) Sister Julienne 80/1, Displayed ability in bumpers and similar story when second on return/hurdles debut at Hereford (16.2f) in October. Not got near that level since, however, including on handicap bow latest. Headgear on. Placed in bumpers and on hurdling debut last year but her form has slumped badly since.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -65%) What An Icon	66 66/1(-65%)	(10) What An Icon 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little over hurdles so far. 3 lb out of weights. Not disgraced in tactical race on recent handicap debut but others look stronger.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (150/1 -275%) Thorpeness	150 150/1(-275%)	(1) Thorpeness 150/1, Fair start over hurdles for Dan Skelton when placed in a couple of maidens last summer but struggled since, including for this yard. Pulled up on all three starts for current stable and has too much to prove.

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.
