1.1/1(+8%)
(1) Chef De Troupe 1.1/1, Improved to win handicap at Perth and claimer at Huntingdon (both 2m). Sent off odds-on to complete the hat-trick at Leicester a fortnight ago but was disappointing behind Paricolor.

1
1st (2) (0.73/1 +55%) Atholl Street
0.73/1(+55%)
(2) Atholl Street 0.73/1, Well held sole start in bumpers but proved a different proposition when making a successful hurdling debut over C&D last month, despite still looking very rough around the edges. Sure to progress.
2
2nd (5) (12/1 -118%) Heart Of A Lion
12/1(-118%)
(5) Heart Of A Lion 12/1, Made an impressive winning bumper debut at Southwell in July 2019. Stepped up on hurdling debut when second at Huntingdon (15.8f) 19 days ago, though was readily left behind by winner from 2f out.
3
3rd (3) (33/1 -136%) Fontana Ellissi
33/1(-136%)
(3) Fontana Ellissi 33/1, Flat bred but showed ability when 17 lengths third of 10 in a Stratford bumper on debut last month.
4
4th (7) (6.5/1 +35%) Jersey Wonder
6.5/1(+35%)
(7) Jersey Wonder 6.5/1, Useful stayer on Flat. Below form when last seen at Chester back in September, but should be up to making his presence felt in a race of this nature now hurdling for new stable.
5th
5th (6) (25/1 -108%) Investment Manager
25/1(-108%)
(6) Investment Manager 25/1, €70,000 Nathaniel gelding. Dam 11f-13f winner. Just modest form in a pair of bumpers so improvement needed if he's to have a say on hurdle debut.
6th
6th (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Grey Spirit
2.5/1(+9%)
(1) Grey Spirit 2.5/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat who has already scored twice over hurdles this season and ran well when third at Kempton last time, a late blunder handing the initiative to Pink Sheets. Will go well.
7th
7th (10) (28/1 +30%) Presuming Ed
28/1(+30%)
(10) Presuming Ed 28/1, Little impact in a pair of bumpers but showed more sent hurdling in a hood when third over C&D in March. Looked awkward prior to unseating his rider at the last here 14 days ago, though.
8th
8th (11) (200/1 -33%) Sam Miguel
200/1(-33%)
(11) Sam Miguel 200/1, Little promise both starts last season (bumper/maiden hurdle).
9th
9th (9) (250/1 -25%) Mister Moretti
250/1(-25%)
(9) Mister Moretti 250/1, Maiden pointer who offered little in a Wincanton novice hurdle on debut 3 weeks ago.
10th
10th (13) (125/1 -150%) Mosambo
125/1(-150%)
(13) Mosambo 125/1, Well held in a Market Rasen bumper/Ludlow maiden hurdle 8 months apart. Needs more time.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (20/1 -25%) Mayne
20/1(-25%)
(8) Mayne 20/1, Fairly useful on Flat, runner-up twice from 3 starts. Has yet to better modest form over hurdles though, pulling too hard at Market Rasen last time.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (66/1 -313%) Gentleman Kap
66/1(-313%)
(4) Gentleman Kap 66/1, Showed more temperament than ability when down the field in a Hereford bumper on debut last month. Hurdle bow.

1st (4) (0.67/1 +46%) Boothill
0.67/1(+46%)
(4) Boothill 0.67/1, £125,000 buy after finishing second in 2 Irish points last autumn. 5/1, looked potentially smart when seeing off 11 rivals on Kempton bumper debut in February. Likely a major player now hurdling.
2
2nd (13) (33/1 -175%) Lilly Pedlar
33/1(-175%)
(13) Lilly Pedlar 33/1, Yeats filly out of a half-sister to yard's top-class staying chaser Long Run. Signs of ability in pair of bumpers, latterly when fifth of 11 at Ludlow (15.7f) in January (modest form). Hurdles debut.
3
3rd (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Getaway Luv
4.5/1(-13%)
(2) Getaway Luv 4.5/1, Showed ability in bumpers and off the mark in good style on second hurdles start in a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) last month. Very much the type to progress further.
4
4th (1) (4/1 +0%) Across The Line
4/1(+0%)
(1) Across The Line 4/1, Well backed and took a big step forward with victory in extended 2m Hereford novice hurdle at the start of last month. Creditable third under penalty at Uttoxeter and fancied to be in the mix again.
5th
5th (12) (66/1 -32%) Doyannie
66/1(-32%)
(12) Doyannie 66/1, Fair form on second of 3 outings in bumpers last season but strictly below that level in a pair of hurdle tries in recent weeks. She's another who may do better when tackling handicaps.
6th
6th (11) (28/1 -75%) Windance
28/1(-75%)
(11) Windance 28/1, Out of a fairly useful hurdler and glimmers of promise in a bumper/maiden hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) 8 months apart. Open to improvement for good yard.
7th
7th (7) (100/1 -300%) Gyllen
100/1(-300%)
(7) Gyllen 100/1, Smart performer on Flat in France for A. Fabre. Finished well held in Group 2 when last seen in 2019 and, having been gelded acquired for 15,000 gns by new yard. Market should guide.
8th
8th (9) (200/1 -100%) Master Grey
200/1(-100%)
(9) Master Grey 200/1, Fair, three-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat. Possible his hurdles debut effort was needed at Chepstow (2m) recently and he's probably one for handicaps later on.
9th
9th (3) (50/1 -150%) Allenby
50/1(-150%)
(3) Allenby 50/1, Presenting gelding who finished midfield sole start in bumpers. Some promise on return/hurdles bow at Chepstow but not in anything like the same form at Exeter since. May do better in handicaps.
|F|
|F| (6) (7/1 +30%) Duc De Bourbon
7/1(+30%)
(6) Duc De Bourbon 7/1, In need of experience in bumpers but more like it over hurdles, fourth in a C&D novice last month, his effort flattening out late on. Remains with potential for leading connections.
10th
10th (14) (125/1 -213%) Outlaw Jesse James
125/1(-213%)
(14) Outlaw Jesse James 125/1, Showed just modest form in bumpers and she was ultimately well held in a mares' novice hurdle at Newbury recently. One for later on.
11th
11th (5) (40/1 +20%) Druim Samhraidh
40/1(+20%)
(5) Druim Samhraidh 40/1, Some promise first 2 starts in bumpers and off the mark in good style under Jamie Codd at Ballinrobe (16.8f) in summer 2019. Has since switched yards and market best guide now hurdling.
12th
12th (8) (33/1 -65%) Just No Risk
33/1(-65%)
(8) Just No Risk 33/1, Good second in 4-runner Chepstow bumper on debut in October but he could only run to a poor level in a Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) since. Needs to step up to figure.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (200/1 -203%) Montys Inn
200/1(-203%)
(10) Montys Inn 200/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 7f) for Richard Hannon. Stamina has to be a concern now hurdling but he represents a yard who do well with their recruits, so worth a precautionary market check.

1st (8) (8.5/1 +23%) Admirals Bay
8.5/1(+23%)
(8) Admirals Bay 8.5/1, Winner on the Flat in 2019 and ran best race over hurdles when held in third at Exeter (16.8f) last month. This is tougher.
2
2nd (1) (2.75/1 +8%) Passing Shadow
2.75/1(+8%)
(1) Passing Shadow 2.75/1, Still without a win but only just denied at Huntingdon last time (might have won but for young rider becoming unbalanced late on) and good claims down in trip and back up 2 lb.
3
3rd (4) (5.5/1 -100%) Chapati
5.5/1(-100%)
(4) Chapati 5.5/1, Much improved from reduced mark when opening account in 2m Southwell conditionals' handicap last month, breezing by Manor Park with plenty in hand. Hard to beat if in the same form.
4
4th (3) (40/1 -60%) Top Beak
40/1(-60%)
(3) Top Beak 40/1, Fair maiden on Flat, but majority of his efforts in this sphere have been underwhelming. Opposable on handicap debut in this sphere on first start for new connections.
5th
5th (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Manor Park
4.5/1(-29%)
(7) Manor Park 4.5/1, Opened account over hurdles in lady riders' Market Rasen handicap last month and was seemingly set to follow up at Southwell (looked in control 2 out) before Chapati swooped past. Can go well again.
6th
6th (10) (11/1 +8%) Conundrum
11/1(+8%)
(10) Conundrum 11/1, Fair 10f Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe. Has shown a bit over jumps and though held in the Ffos Las mud last time you suspect he has a bigger performance in the locker. Cheekpieces go on.
7th
7th (2) (6.5/1 +68%) Uther Pendragon
6.5/1(+68%)
(2) Uther Pendragon 6.5/1, Fair 1¼m Flat winner who has shown a bit over hurdles, though he's faded both starts back in this sphere this autumn.
8th
8th (5) (28/1 +44%) Seasearch
28/1(+44%)
(5) Seasearch 28/1, Fair performer on the level. Showed a bit initially over hurdles but well held all 3 starts in handicaps, taking little interest on return at Hereford. Has had a wind op.
9th
9th (11) (50/1 -100%) French Kiss
50/1(-100%)
(11) French Kiss 50/1, Modest Flat maiden and has looked very limited so far over hurdles. Makes handicap debut after 10 months off.
|F|
|F| (6) (5.5/1 +50%) Vanderbilt
5.5/1(+50%)
(6) Vanderbilt 5.5/1, Long-standing maiden who was runner-up twice at Newton Abbot in the summer but is hard to predict.
10th
10th (9) (33/1 +34%) Numero Uno
33/1(+34%)
(9) Numero Uno 33/1, Should have come on for first run in 9 months at Hereford but remains on a stiff-looking mark.

1
1st (8) (7.5/1 -36%) El Kaldoun
7.5/1(-36%)
(8) El Kaldoun 7.5/1, Bred to excel over fences and beat a subsequent winner when making perfect start in handicap chases at Hexham (20f) in October. Fell early at Southwell next time but remains with potential.
2
2nd (9) (9/1 -50%) Storm Home
9/1(-50%)
(9) Storm Home 9/1, Poor strike rate but he's looked capable over fences and probably would have been placed had he stood up over C&D last time (share of third when fell 3 out). Wouldn't rule out.
3
3rd (10) (18/1 -80%) Finalshot
18/1(-80%)
(10) Finalshot 18/1, Fair winning hurdler at 20f who offered something to work on when third on return/chase debut at Wincanton (20f) in October. Fell early at Fakenham (3m) next time but retains potential.
4
4th (1) (1.38/1 +50%) Palmers Hill
1.38/1(+50%)
(1) Palmers Hill 1.38/1, Expensive buy from Irish points who has been hard to train but won big-field Cheltenham handicap hurdle in good style 2 years ago and ran well on only outing since at Kempton. Convincing on chase bow.
|U|
|U| (7) (5/1 +29%) Saint De Reve
5/1(+29%)
(7) Saint De Reve 5/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Shaped as if amiss (not for the first time) on return at Aintree (24.7f) when backed after wind op 7 weeks ago and a bit risky now going chasing.
|U|
|U| (4) (16/1 +43%) Mr Clarkson
16/1(+43%)
(4) Mr Clarkson 16/1, Useful winning hurdler last season but yet to convince over fences, tailed off on return at Exeter in similar event after wind op.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (10/1 +0%) I'd Better Go Now
10/1(+0%)
(6) I'd Better Go Now 10/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler, successful 3 times at up to 3m. Switches to chasing with improvement needed to tackle the best of these.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (14/1 +13%) Coded Message
14/1(+13%)
(3) Coded Message 14/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles who was in the process of running well on second go over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) 26 days ago when unseating rider 2 out (second at time). Back in a handicap now.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (16/1 -129%) Monbeg Theatre
16/1(-129%)
(2) Monbeg Theatre 16/1, Took full advantage of reduced mark when ready winner of 3-runner 25.2f novice handicap chase at Hereford in October. Not so good at Sedgefield since though and this is tougher.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (18/1 -13%) No Hidden Charges
18/1(-13%)
(5) No Hidden Charges 18/1, Point winner and fairly useful hurdles winner at up to 3m. Promising chase debut/return at Market Rasen in July but shaped as if amiss in Cartmel handicap next time.

1st (11) (3.33/1 +33%) Mount Windsor
3.33/1(+33%)
(11) Mount Windsor 3.33/1, It took a bit of time for things to click with him over hurdles but he arrives in search of a hat-trick after wins at Lingfield and Fakenham last month. This is his first start beyond 2m.
2
2nd (6) (2.25/1 +36%) When You're Ready
2.25/1(+36%)
(6) When You're Ready 2.25/1, Struck at second time of asking over hurdles when 3-length winner of 2m Stratford novice in October. Improved again when third in 2m Leicester handicap since and has the potential for better again.
3
3rd (8) (28/1 -40%) Stormy Flight
28/1(-40%)
(8) Stormy Flight 28/1, 2m course maiden winner in the spring but not at the same level in a couple of runs this term, including seventh on 2m Sandown handicap debut latest. Step back up in trip should help, though.
4
4th (1) (7.5/1 +0%) Good Man Pat
7.5/1(+0%)
(1) Good Man Pat 7.5/1, Useful chaser in recent years. No significant impact in pair of Cheltenham handicaps back hurdling in recent months but did travel well over 3m last time so perhaps this shorter trip will help.
5th
5th (5) (33/1 -106%) Fraser Island
33/1(-106%)
(5) Fraser Island 33/1, Yet to add to Newbury debut success in 6 subsequent attempts and arrives on back of below-par efforts at Chepstow and Huntingdon this autumn. Goes up in trip now.
6th
6th (12) (10/1 -18%) Gateway To Europe
10/1(-18%)
(12) Gateway To Europe 10/1, Respectable third over 2m at Huntingdon back hurdling in blinkers (retained) last month. Return to this longer trip may help. Ought to be competitive.
7th
7th (4) (125/1 -346%) At Its Own Expense
125/1(-346%)
(4) At Its Own Expense 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best but rather lost his way this year and up against it on debut for this yard.
8th
8th (13) (16/1 +0%) Shall We Go Now
16/1(+0%)
(13) Shall We Go Now 16/1, Maiden winner here in January but his 2 hurdle runs since have been poor (was third on Flat in October). Has cheekpieces on first time. Also has a useful 7 lb claimer up so no shock if he revives.
9th
9th (14) (25/1 +0%) Here's Herbie
25/1(+0%)
(14) Here's Herbie 25/1, Dual winner in 2018/19 but recorded just the one creditable effort in 4 outings last term and well beaten on Wincanton return last month (may have needed the run).
10th
10th (16) (25/1 -39%) Singapore Saga
25/1(-39%)
(16) Singapore Saga 25/1, Showed promise in bumpers and in her qualifying runs over hurdles last term. Possible improver now handicapping on return.
11th
11th (7) (28/1 -75%) Zafar
28/1(-75%)
(7) Zafar 28/1, Fair form over hurdles as a juvenile but not seen since finishing midfield in Ascot handicap in March 2019. Probably best watched on this return unless the market speaks in his favour.
12th
12th (3) (50/1 -52%) Champagne City
50/1(-52%)
(3) Champagne City 50/1, Didn't take to chasing last season but has fared little better back hurdling this term. First-time blinkers need to have a revitalising effect.
13th
13th (10) (33/1 -65%) Melekhov
33/1(-65%)
(10) Melekhov 33/1, Second in Plumpton handicap in May 2019 but seen only 3 times since, including finishing down the field over C&D 14 days ago. First-time tongue tie needs to make a difference.
14th
14th (9) (3.33/1 +17%) Confirmation Bias
3.33/1(+17%)
(9) Confirmation Bias 3.33/1, Bumper winner last December. Much better effort over hurdles this term when narrowly denied in 2m course novice 14 days ago and interesting now making a quick switch to handicap company for top yard.
15th
15th (2) (50/1 -355%) Garrettstown
50/1(-355%)
(2) Garrettstown 50/1, Bumper winner and fairly useful hurdler. Has gone the wrong way over fences, including pulled up on reappearance, but it's possible he'll be more at home back hurdling. Cheekpieces also added.
16th
16th (15) (200/1 -300%) Geneva Barracks
200/1(-300%)
(15) Geneva Barracks 200/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler in Ireland but sold from Martin Brassil for only £800 in September. Has predictably struggled so far for current yard, beaten 43 lengths into fourth in claimer latest.
LTO Selection:
14:47 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Master Work 7/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who got off the mark in this sphere at Fontwell last October. Has found life tougher since, though, and looks vulnerable once more.
2
2nd (1) (12/1 -41%) Fanzio
12/1(-41%)
(1) Fanzio 12/1, Dual winner already this term but that leaves him on a tough mark and he dropped away tamely at Wetherby last time. Others make more appeal.
3
3rd (5) (1.5/1 +0%) Glajou
1.5/1(+0%)
(5) Glajou 1.5/1, Fair ex-French hurdler who has looked progressive since switched to chasing and readily landed a Southwell handicap 9 days ago. Big claims under a penalty.
4
4th (2) (5/1 +0%) Golden Taipan
5/1(+0%)
(2) Golden Taipan 5/1, Scored 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles and getting the hang of things over fences, second in a handicap at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. Room for improvement in jumping, so might be a bigger effort in him.
5th
5th (3) (7.5/1 -67%) Go Long
7.5/1(-67%)
(3) Go Long 7.5/1, Fairly useful chaser who posted a career best when making all at Fontwell on reappearance and, if jumping with the same fluency, should put up another bold bid.
6th
6th (7) (11/1 -22%) Dandolo Du Gite
11/1(-22%)
(7) Dandolo Du Gite 11/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who looked a useful prospect when scoring on chasing bow at Southwell (15.7f) in Spring 2019. Likely first run for 18 months was needed in October and he remains capable of better.
7th
7th (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Boagrius
8.5/1(+15%)
(4) Boagrius 8.5/1, Fairly useful chaser who returned to form on his final outing last season and shaped as if he'd sharpen up for his reappearance when fifth in handicap at Kempton. Not completely ruled out.

1
1st (2) (2.5/1 +17%) How's The Cricket
2.5/1(+17%)
(2) How's The Cricket 2.5/1, Improved again when second at Uttoxeter and behind a pair or subsequent winners when fifth there next time. Back on track at Wincanton 3 weeks ago and he's likely to appreciate this extra distance.
2
2nd (9) (2.75/1 +17%) Motts Cross
2.75/1(+17%)
(9) Motts Cross 2.75/1, Successful at this C&D in March 2019 and proved he retains his ability 21 months on when runner-up at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there with that under his belt.

(3) Cushuish 5.5/1, Off the mark over this C&D a year ago and stepped up on reappearance when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can make presence felt.
3
3rd (10) (14/1 -17%) First Assembly
14/1(-17%)
(10) First Assembly 14/1, Kicked off his handicap career with 3 solid placed efforts last winter. Probably needed the run in first-time cheekpieces after 7 months off at Fontwell in October but others preferred.
5th
5th (5) (6/1 +40%) Mystic Court
6/1(+40%)
(5) Mystic Court 6/1, Maiden hurdle winner who was proving consistent for former yard and enters calculations on quick turnaround for new trainer back in handicap. Normal headgear left off.
6th
6th (7) (50/1 -150%) Somerset Jem
50/1(-150%)
(7) Somerset Jem 50/1, Patchy record overall but capable when on-song, as he showed when a good second off this mark over C&D on penultimate start. Not so good last time and likely to need this after nearly 3 years off.
7th
7th (8) (33/1 +18%) Jalingo
33/1(+18%)
(8) Jalingo 33/1, Regressive type who has made little impact in both starts this term.
8th
8th (1) (33/1 -32%) Solstalla
33/1(-32%)
(1) Solstalla 33/1, Successful for the fifth time in this sphere back from a break at Warwick (19f) in September. However, below par both starts since and she's worth taking on.
9th
9th (4) (33/1 -136%) Lightonthewing
33/1(-136%)
(4) Lightonthewing 33/1, Poor in bumpers and little impact in a trio of novice/maiden hurdles at 100/1. Significantly upped in trip for handicap debut after 8 months off.
10th
10th (11) (6.5/1 +0%) Lakeside Lad
6.5/1(+0%)
(11) Lakeside Lad 6.5/1, Well held in maiden/novice hurdles but ran a lot better than in his first handicap when second of 9 (12/1) at Lingfield (23f, heavy) 14 days ago. Doesn't look well treated, however.
11th
11th (6) (100/1 -203%) Beyond Supremacy
100/1(-203%)
(6) Beyond Supremacy 100/1, Yet to show much spark but there were signs of encouragement when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Exeter over 2½ years ago. Makes handicap bow on first run for yard after leaving Jack R. Barber.

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.
