(2)  (6/5 +13%)Calvino |
6/5(+13%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Calvino 6/5, Bit keen, did it cosily, improved back at favoured venue when winning a novice hurdle here by 3l last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on GS and GF; progressing over hurdles, likely bit more to come for top yard. Won here last month, form that has recently been franked by the runner-up; respected. |
|
(1)  (6/5 +4%)Fountains Blenhein |
6/5(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fountains Blenhein 6/5, Made too much use of and ground soft enough when pulled up in River Don Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m1f-2m6f, acts on GS and G; good chance dropped in grade with rider's claims a help. Pulled up in 3m Grade 2 last time but this dual hurdle winner is a likely contender here. |
|
(5)  (3/1 +14%)Khafre |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Khafre 3/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth beaten 12l in a novice hurdle at Wincanton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S; point winner should progress yet. Irish point winner; began hurdling career with two promising runs in the autumn; a player. |
|
(6)  (14/1 +30%)Sailing By |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sailing By 14/1, Improved on debut when fourth beaten 23l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on Hy and GS; more to come but might be type to do better handicapping. Placed in Chepstow bumper in November but safely held on both hurdling starts. |
|
(3)  (100/1 +0%)Crest Of Valour |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Crest Of Valour 100/1, Poor run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ludlow latest; lot to prove for now and type to do better handicapping. Showed some ability in sole bumper but pulled up/tailed off on first two hurdle starts. |
|
(4)  (100/1 +0%)Georges Street |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Georges Street 100/1, Modest enough debut under rules comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 3m in points; improvement likely. Showed only minor promise over C&D on recent rules debut. |
|
(7)  (100/1 0%)Don't Call Me Sue |
100/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Don't Call Me Sue 100/1, Too keen and below debut level down the field in a bumper at Hereford most recent; may do better now hurdling but likely up against it. Well down the field in two bumpers; can only be watched on this hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Things didn't work out for FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN in the River Don but he can bounce back in these much calmer waters, not least because he's favoured at the weights. C&D winner Calvino is one of only a few of these to show an aptitude for hurdling so far and it's possible that he could take another step forward, whilst Khafre appeals most of the remainder.
Syd Hosie's KHAFRE shaped well when fourth in a good Wincanton novice in December and is given the verdict.

(4)  (8/11 +9%)Cooler Than Me |
8/11(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cooler Than Me 8/11, Was well treated, having escaped a penalty, and improved again when landing a handicap by 8l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; effective from 2m3f to 2m5f and holds strong claims in a weak race despite his new mark. Won at Market Rasen on handicap debut and over C&D 11 days later; 9lb higher; big shout. |
|
(5)  (5/1 +17%)Diamond Days |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Diamond Days 5/1, Never competitive after a series of errors when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and, effective from 2m to 2m4f, he is not ruled out back hurdling. Ten-race maiden; now tries cheekpieces and back from chasing; brings some handicap form. |
|
(8)  (7/1 +0%)Gorcombe And Wise |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gorcombe And Wise 7/1, The yard won this last year; again ran to a moderate level when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time. Trainer is in form, but he is hard to fancy on what we have seen to date. 6-1 for handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) and finished closer, albeit beaten 28l. |
|
(6)  (15/2 +17%)Man Oh Man |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Man Oh Man 15/2, Was a no-show from off the pace on deep ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; effective from 2m3f to 2m5f and capable off this mark if bouncing back. Ex-Irish; C&D third (good to firm) in November; soundly defeated on heavy ground latest. |
|
(9)  (8/1 +27%)Talap |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Talap 8/1, Returned to form back up in trip on testing ground in reapplied cheekpieces when second, beaten 8l, in a handicap hurdle here last time; capable but not one to rely on building on that latest effort. 0-9 over hurdles but 8l second of ten to Cooler Than Me over C&D (heavy; 100-1) last time. |
|
(1)  (16/1 -33%)Pillar The Poet |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pillar The Poet 16/1, Below his hurdles best when back pointing, finishing 7 1/2l third in a maiden point at Dunsmore on his most recent run; effective at 2m on good ground and may do better now handicapping back under rules. Left the Newland/Insole stable for 1,000gns last July; third in a maiden point in November. |
|
(2)  (18/1 +18%)Marhaba Million |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Marhaba Million 18/1, Apparently improved a little up in trip on deeper ground when 64l third in a novice hurdle here on his most recent run; effective from 2m to 2m3f on any ground and may do better again now handicapping. Little to cheer in 2025 or 2026, beaten 64l when third in a C&D novice (heavy) last time. |
|
(3)  (66/1 +34%)All Night Parking |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) All Night Parking 66/1, Fell just before the race developed in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2m6f and acts on good ground, but it is hard to state a solid case for on the evidence available. Failed to complete in points last spring; same on handicap debut over C&D two weeks ago. |
|
(10)  (66/1 +0%)Joker Jack |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Joker Jack 66/1, Below form on his first run over fences when pulled up in a handicap chase here last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and soon back hurdling after that poor chase run. Rare hints of ability; 5lb out of handicap; cheekpieces join the recent tongue-tie. |
|
(11)  (100/1 -25%)Bowmans Dream |
100/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bowmans Dream 100/1, Found to be lame when pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective from 2m to 2m2f on a sound surface, but he has a massive absence to overcome. Soundly beaten in 2023 and absent since; returns 6lb out of the handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A confident vote goes to COOLER THAN ME, who made it two from two in handicaps with a facile C&D win a fortnight ago. Fergal O'Brien's charge had Talap well in arrears that day and a 9lb rise shouldn't be enough to halt further progress. Marhaba Million was no slouch on the Flat and cannot be ruled out, whilst Diamond Days should be happier back over hurdles.
With solid claims so hard to find in this line-up, the chances are that recent C&D winner COOLER THAN ME can complete his hat-trick.

6/4(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fat Faced Columbo 6/4, A fortunate winner as the leader fell late, but still ran to form when landing a handicap by 8 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m and unexposed over fences. Improver who is 2-3 over fences and he won by 8l when he was left clear at Chepstow. |
|
(2)  (9/4 -13%)Move With The Beat |
9/4(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Move With The Beat 9/4, Improved to get off the mark over fences when landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ludlow last time. Trainer is in form; effective at 2m4f-3m on a sound surface and could progress further now over fences. Record of 5-8 in points and he won a Ludlow handicap last month; respected off 5lb higher. |
|
(3)  (10/3 +0%)Wheresmemoneygone |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wheresmemoneygone 10/3, Improved again back down in trip when beaten 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time; effective at 3m-3m2f on a sound surface and has a chance if ready to roll. Bolted up on chase debut at Perth and close second in next two runs; respected on return. |
|
(1)  (8/1 -7%)Sherborne |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sherborne 8/1, Ran to form on deeper ground when second, beaten 18l in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time. Effective at 2m4f-2m7f and acts on any ground; his mark continues to ease and he has a chance in this. Generally reliable chaser who is on workable mark and he's not ruled out. |
|
(5)  (12/1 -20%)Jongleur D'etoiles |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jongleur D'etoiles 12/1, Jumped poorly and fell late in a handicap chase here last time. Effective around 3m and acts on soft and good ground; his jumping is not rock-solid but he has a chance if producing a clear round. Four-time hurdle winner but has record of 9U2F over fences and others are preferred. |
|
(7)  (16/1 +20%)Charlies Jetaway |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Charlies Jetaway 16/1, Ran to form up in trip on handicap debut when a 7l third in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton on his most recent run. Effective at 2m5f; competitive off a basement mark and could do better now chasing. Unexposed 5yo but he's out of the weights and this is a tough starting point over fences. |
|
(6)  (28/1 -12%)Asian Spice |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Asian Spice 28/1, Unseated late when held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time and returns from a short break. Effective at 2m-2m2f and acts on good to soft and good ground; her jumping must improve over fences. 8yo who has lost her way and things have not gone well in two chase runs this winter. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FAT FACED COLUMBO has been a revelation since going over fences in November. The Mahler gelding was just touched off at Exeter before bolting up over C&D and again at Chepstow, so a hat-trick looks within his compass from 6lb higher. Move With The Beat took a step forward to win at Ludlow most recently and first-time cheekpieces could elicit improvement from Wheresmemoneygone.
The vote goes to FAT FACED COLUMBO, who is 2-3 over fences and won by 8l when he was left clear in a big field at Chepstow last month.

5/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bobbi With An I 5/2, Every chance, ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Windsor latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective at around 2m4f-3m on S and G; needs more to defy this mark. Second at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; lesser show last time; tongue tied now. |
|
(6)  (7/2 +0%)Snapdance |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Snapdance 7/2, Ran to form under a positive ride down in trip when beaten 14l into third in a handicap hurdle at Kempton on his most recent run; trainer in form; effective over 2m3f-3m and acts on soft and good; in fair form. 0-6; second in C&D handicap and not disgraced back down to 2m5f at Kempton on latest start. |
|
(7)  (7/2 +22%)Malago Rose |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Malago Rose 7/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form tried in a visor beaten 2l off this mark at Fontwell last time; off a short-break; effective 3m-3m2f, prefers a little give; can go well again in reapplied cheekpieces. Ran creditably for third on all three starts this season, albeit as favourite in all three. |
|
(4)  (9/2 +10%)Inferno Sacree |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Inferno Sacree 9/2, Beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Catterick last time; enjoys making it; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; back in form off a reduced mark. Front-runner who last won in May 2023; runner-up last three starts; 3m is new territory. |
|
(1)  (11/2 +0%)Handin Manypockets |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Handin Manypockets 11/2, Outpaced, ran to form, looked in need of stiffer test 2 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Hereford most recent run; effective 2m4f-2m6f on S and G; may do better at 3m now handicapping. It looks as if he will be suited by further than 2m6f; very interesting on handicap debut. |
|
(2)  (7/1 +7%)Jatiluwih |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jatiluwih 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Newbury last time; returning from a long layoff; effective over 2m3f-3m on any ground; might need this. No win under rules since 2019 but often competitive; absent since last March. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
After three second-placed finishes the consistent Inferno Sacree looks worth a try over this longer trip, while Malago Rose is noteworthy off bottom weight, with Bradley Harris easing the task further with his 3lb claim. However, SNAPDANCE, who was a close second over C&D on his penultimate start, looks the safest option given he has looked progressive since being stepped up in distance. Harry Kimber gets on well with the selection and can guide the low-mileage seven-year-old to a first career win.
Snapdance earns plenty of plaudits for his C&D second but preference is for the very lightly raced and unexposed HANDIN MANYPOCKETS.

11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fortune Dancer 11/4, Pestered up front and did plenty early when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on soft and good; progressive, more to come over fences and may land four-timer. Record of 3-3 over fences and she beat a clear second at Windsor last time; big player. |
|
(8)  (4/1 -14%)Cooleenymore |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cooleenymore 4/1, Ran to form when second beaten 2 1/4l off 104 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 3m-3m2f, suited by cut; in form, not fully exposed over fences. Record of 2-6 over fences and was good second at Wincanton (3m1f) last time; respected. |
|
(2)  (5/1 +0%)Clotilda |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clotilda 5/1, Still in contention when fell in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; consistent mare, respected if okay after fall. Second in four of her six chases; fell latest but she still has potential in this sphere. |
|
(9)  (11/2 +0%)Overabottleofred |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Overabottleofred 11/2, Below form down in trip when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Fakenham latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on HY and G; mark still looks fair if bouncing back. Unexposed over fences and may have needed reappearance run at Fakenham; tongue-tie added. |
|
(4)  (8/1 +20%)Gazette Bourgeoise |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gazette Bourgeoise 8/1, Below form, found little when eighth beaten 41l off 110 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on Hy and G; bounce back needed off this mark. Easy win at Fakenham in December but she struggled back there last month; risks attached. |
|
(5)  (8/1 +43%)Presenting A Queen |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Presenting A Queen 8/1, Never jumped or travelled, unsuited by testing ground and drop back in trip comfortably held in Agatha Christie Mares' Novices' Chase (Listed) at Wincanton last time; effective 3m, suited by decent ground; good mark but inconsistent after layoff. 0-9 over fences but had tough tasks in Listed events lately and this is more realistic. |
|
(7)  (8/1 +56%)Ede'iffs Rock |
8/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ede'iffs Rock 8/1, Won this last year; made too much use of and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Hereford last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; progressive last season and only 2lb above last win mark. Won this last year but she needs to bounce back after a poor run at Hereford last month. |
|
(3)  (10/1 +29%)Baby Sage |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Baby Sage 10/1, Improved from debut albeit comfortably held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time; off a short-break; effective 2m5f, acts on S and G; consistent hurdler, yet to match that over fences. No joy in two chase runs at Huntingdon and needs a transformation with headgear added. |
|
(1)  (16/1 -33%)Lazy Sunday |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lazy Sunday 16/1, Below form, failed to pick up when fourth beaten 36l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; off a short-break; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on S and G; bounce back needed. Four-time chase winner but she struggled at Warwick last time and needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FORTUNE DANCER has proven to be tough to overhaul when she gets her own way and may be able to round out a four-timer, despite going up 30lb since her winning spree started. This is still realistically within her range now that the penny has dropped over fences. Cooleenymore and Overabottleofred are other consistent options to consider, while Lazy Sunday is no back number and should give another good account.
This can go to the progressive FORTUNE DANCER (nap), who made it 3-3 over fences when battling well to beat a clear second at Windsor.

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.
