Races & Results Saturday 27th January 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Classic Maestro 9/2, Fair form when runner-up on last 3 starts over hurdles, the latest in a heavy-ground 2¾m course handicap just over 5 weeks ago. Certainly not discounted trying 2m for the first time. Improver who has finished runner-up in both his handicaps; respected on this drop to 2m.

6
2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Copper Cove
2.5
5/2(+64%)
(6) Copper Cove 5/2, Yet to really build on a promising couple of efforts in maiden company last season but seemed a bit fresher than ideal when seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, soft) on return 3 months ago. Back down in trip and the suspicion remains he should do better at some stage. 0-5 over hurdles but mark is sliding and this drop back in trip could help; not ruled out.

7
3rd (7) (6/1 +45%) Atreides
6
6/1(+45%)
(7) Atreides 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who compromised his finishing effort by racing freely when fifth at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) last month. Mark eases a shade further and he's not without hope if settling better. Has not really progressed over hurdles and was only fifth of ten at Plumpton last month.

4th (3) (16/1 -45%) Heure De Gloire
16
16/1(-45%)
(3) Heure De Gloire 16/1, Landed a 2m handicap hurdle at Leicester in February. Looks to be being brought along gradually judged on both outings this season and could show the benefit having dropped another 2 lb in the weights. Well held in her last three runs and needs to get back near best on this drop back in trip.
5th
10
5th (10) (80/1 -60%) Be My Sea
80
80/1(-60%)
(10) Be My Sea 80/1, Modest handicap hurdler who has offered little in 2 starts for new yard since returning from a lengthy absence. Significantly back down in trip. Veteran who has struggled in two runs for new yard after a long absence; opposable.
6th
2
6th (2) (8/1 -60%) Present Fair
8
8/1(-60%)
(2) Present Fair 8/1, Brushed off a disappointing run over fences when winning 10-runner handicap over C&D last month. Not disgraced when fourth from a 3 lb higher mark at Catterick since and should give another good account. Won over C&D last month and he wasn't beaten far at Catterick last time; in the mix.
7th
4
7th (4) (15/2 -233%) Foxey
7.5
15/2(-233%)
(4) Foxey 15/2, Flat-bred gelding who got off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in October. Runner-up on chasing debut at Huntingdon later that month before going one better in authoritative fashion at Lingfield just under 7 weeks ago. Plenty to like reverted to hurdles. 2-4 since returning from a long absence and he's a big player again back over hurdles.
8th
8
8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Inebranlable
16
16/1(+0%)
(8) Inebranlable 16/1, Runner-up sole start in points and offered more than on debut in this sphere when fourth of 11 in novice at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) last month. Not so good at Exeter 9 days later but could be seen in better light now handicapping. Unexposed 6yo but he needs improvement on his handicap debut.
9
9
|PU| (9) (80/1 -60%) Toucan Sam
80
80/1(-60%)
(9) Toucan Sam 80/1, Not without promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles for this yard back in summer 2022. Understandably looked rusty following 14 months off over at Ayr (18f, soft) 38 days ago (lost tough before end of back straight) and this promises to reveal more. Eight-race maiden who was pulled up at Ayr on his comeback last month.
5
5
|RO| (5) (9/2 +36%) Shinji
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(5) Shinji 9/2, Looked above average when a bumper for Roger Varian (subsequently sold £60,000) on debut in November 2022 but has run a long way below that level on all 3 starts over hurdles. Could prove a different proposition now handicapping. Bumper winner who is unexposed over hurdles and needs a close look on his handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
12:48 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It was a modest novices' handicap chase that Foxey won at Lingfield in December and while Olly Murphy's charge wasn't fully extended for that facile success, this is a deeper race and he looks vulnerable back over hurdles. With that in mind, PRESENT FAIR is marginally preferred. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, the selection looks worth another chance off the same rating as when a respectable fourth at Catterick last time out. Classic Maestro can also go close if coping with the drop in trip.
A tricky opener to solve but the vote goes to COPPER COVE, who seemed a bit fresher than ideal on his seasonal return at Carlisle in October but the suspicion remains that there's more to come from Jonjo O'Neill's 7-y-o at some stage. Foxey was a commanding winner over the larger obstacles last time, so he may emerge as the main danger back hurdling, with Classic Maestro and Heure de Gloire another couple fancied to go well.
Preference is for recent chase winner FOXEY, who is a big player again back over hurdles in his bid to make it 3-5 for Olly Murphy.
(8) Roccos Inspiration 2/7, Expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland but sets a clear standard and this looks an excellent opportunity on first outing for Olly Murphy. Ex-Irish 7yo; sets a clear standard on her best form and this looks a good opportunity.
2
3
2nd (3) (9/2 +36%) Give Me A Boom
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(3) Give Me A Boom 9/2, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Redzor. Unplaced completed starts in points but showed some ability when sixth in a Fairyhouse bumper on Rules debut 21 months ago. Has left L. Byrne since then and wears a first-time hood on this switch to hurdling. Back from a long absence but he needs checking in market on his hurdling/stable debut.
3
1
3rd (1) (66/1 +0%) Cocardier
66
66/1(+0%)
(1) Cocardier 66/1, Has shown nothing in a brace of bumpers and easily passed over making hurdling bow in first-time cheekpieces after 11 months off. Tailed off in two bumpers last season and can only be watched on his hurdling debut.
4
7
4th (7) (25/1 +62%) Streamsforth Lad
25
25/1(+62%)
(7) Streamsforth Lad 25/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but no show in 2 hurdles last month. No progress in his five starts and has struggled in both hurdle runs this winter.
5th
6
5th (6) (22/1 -10%) Killigarth
22
22/1(-10%)
(6) Killigarth 22/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Beaten around 40l in his two runs this month and handicaps will be more suitable.
6th
4
6th (4) (125/1 -150%) Jean De Monts
125
125/1(-150%)
(4) Jean De Monts 125/1, Showed some ability when sixth in 2m minor event on his only outing on Flat in France but has been tailed off both starts for new yard. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Tailed off in both hurdle runs and he needs a transformation with tongue-tie added.
7th
2
7th (2) (125/1 -89%) Freddy Boy
125
125/1(-89%)
(2) Freddy Boy 125/1, Tailed off in sole bumper and pulled up both outings over hurdles. Off 12 months. Hood on for 1st time. Tailed off in a bumper and pulled up in two hurdle runs; hood is now added on his comeback.
8th
5
8th (5) (13/2 +19%) Joker De Thaix
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(5) Joker De Thaix 13/2, Showed a bit more than previously in a first-time hood when fourth of 10 in a maiden hurdle at this course (19.9f, heavy) 36 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip. Some promise here last month but he needs another big leap forward back at this trip.
LTO Selection:
13:23 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle
(Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The standard set by ROCCOS INSPIRATION is hardly of a world-beating standard, but she was placed in eight of her 13 starts during her time in Ireland and appears to have been found a good opportunity to get off to a flying start for the Olly Murphy yard. Joker De Thaix has some course experience and is also considered now dropped back in trip, while hurdles debutant Cocardier could provide a bit of value for a place if taking a shine to racing in cheekpieces.
ROCCOS INSPRITATION has been expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland, but it's highly unlikely she'll get a better opportunity than this to open her account, so is a straightforward choice. Give Me A Boy looks the obvious one to give the selection most to think about having shown some promise on his sole outing in bumpers back in April 2022.
This looks a good opportunity for Olly Murphy's new recruit ROCCOS INSPIRATION, who sets a clear standard on her best form in Ireland.
13:23 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle
(Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Marsh Wren 5/4, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles last term and hit the ground running over fences when landing 9-runner handicap at Warwick (20f) on her reappearance. Backed that up with good second in Mares Listed event at Wincanton since and holds strong claims. Runner-up in Listed race last time and she's open to more progress over fences; big player.
2
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +60%) Endless Escape
2
2/1(+60%)
(2) Endless Escape 2/1, Ex-pointer who enjoyed a productive campaign over hurdles last season, winning 4 times prior to a respectable seventh at Cheltenham on final outing. Promise on first of 2 starts over fences this winter and switch to handicaps may bring about improvement in this sphere. Cheekpieces on first time. 4-5 over hurdles but she's been well held in both chase runs; needs to raise her game.
3
3
3rd (3) (9/4 -29%) Ottoline
2.25
9/4(-29%)
(3) Ottoline 9/4, Much improved on her third start over hurdles when winning novice at this course (22.2f, heavy) 36 days ago. Interesting that her shrewd handler sends her chasing for her handicapping debut and market strength may prove significant. Clearcut win over hurdles here last month and she's respected on chase debut.
LTO Selection:
13:58 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 3)
21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Second in a Listed mares' chase at Wincanton last time out, MARSH WREN is the logical choice in spite of having to give weight away to her rivals now she is back in a handicap. Ottoline was a facile winner of a novice hurdle over 2m6f here last month and she edges out Endless Escape as the main threat to the selection on her chasing bow. The latter, who goes in first-time cheekpieces, has been highly tried but needs to better her two most recent efforts.
MARSH WREN brings solid chasing form to the table and can return to winning ways. Ottoline scored over hurdles here last time and is much respected on debut over the larger obstacles.
This can go to MARSH WREN, who was a good second in a Listed race last time and is open to more progress back in a handicap.
(6) Wolfspear 9/4, Won a Perth handicap in May 2022 and made light of a 16-month absence when producing a career best to double his hurdles tally in an 18-runner handicap at Exeter (18.5f, soft) in October. Lost no caste in defeat when runner-up at Market Rasen since and he's a key player. Won at Exeter on his comeback before a good second at Market Rasen; shortlisted.
2
1
2nd (1) (6/4 +63%) Benign Dictator
1.5
6/4(+63%)
(1) Benign Dictator 6/4, Better than ever when returning from a 6-month break to double his hurdle tally in 21f Warwick handicap. Respectable fourth at Chepstow (3m, heavy) since and, winner of a maiden hurdle on his latest visit here last February, he's one to consider. Yard also saddles Wolfspear. Won at Warwick on his return in November but he wasn't so good at Chepstow last month.
3
7
3rd (7) (33/1 -230%) Toronet
33
33/1(-230%)
(7) Toronet 33/1, Winner of a French claiming hurdle last February (subsequently claimed from Julien Phelippon for €19,999) but he hasn't fired in 2 starts for present connections. Hood applied. Won in France last February but he's been well held in both runs for current yard.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 -78%) Easy To Follow
4
4/1(-78%)
(3) Easy To Follow 4/1, Made the frame all 4 starts in points and though safely held when third on Rules debut in Sedgefield bumper, she's since won both starts over hurdles, here and at Fontwell (both at around 2½m under testing conditions). Likeable type but more will be needed on this handicap debut. Has won both her hurdles runs and she should have more to offer in handicaps; respected.
5th
2
5th (2) (6/1 +0%) Go Steady
6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Go Steady 6/1, Dual winner of handicap chases last season and though below par in 3 starts over the larger obstacles this time round, he went close back hurdling over C&D in November. Reproduction of that effort would give him a fighting chance. Went close over C&D in his last hurdle run in November; in the mix back in this sphere.
6th
5
6th (5) (33/1 -83%) Sacre Pierre
33
33/1(-83%)
(5) Sacre Pierre 33/1, Leicester winner on reappearance last season but has offered little in 3 subsequent starts, including on his return this time round at Haydock. Now tried in blinkers. Four-time hurdle winner but he's lost his way and needs a major revival; headgear added.
LTO Selection:
14:33 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EASY TO FOLLOW has been exactly that after remaining unbeaten over hurdles at Fontwell on her latest outing and she now makes her handicap bow off a rating of 116. She could have plenty more to offer and is taken to defy her opening mark to bring up the hat-trick. Top-weight Benign Dictator was put in his place in a class 3 event over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow last month, but he will find this easier and could have a say off an unchanged mark. Wolfspear completes the list after his second at Market Rasen in November.
Olly Murphy holds a strong hand here with both WOLFSPEAR and Benign Dictator holding strong claims. Marginal preference is for the former, who was a winner of his sole previous start under amateur rider Oliver Boyden at Exeter and he still has low mileage. If Go Steady matches the form of his close call over this C&D three starts back he will be a threat.
Top of the list is EASY TO FOLLOW, who is 2-2 over hurdles and could have a lot more to offer in this sphere.
(5) Good Friday Fairy 2/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last season and got off the mark over fences at the second attempt when the sole finisher at Fontwell (19.5f, heavy) last month. Better form when shaping best in defeat at Exeter on New Year's Day and this accurate jumper looks capable of even better. Maiden hurdle winner; in good form over fences; useful effort at Exeter latest (2m3f).
2
3
2nd (3) (9/2 -50%) Greenrock Abbey
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(3) Greenrock Abbey 9/2, Yet to finish outside of the placings over fences, albeit never really landing a blow when third of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (16f, heavy) 31 days ago, Should give another good account if seeing out the longer trip. Suited by 2m; acts well on soft but well held on heavy latest; trip query back at 2m4f.
3
1
3rd (1) (14/1 -40%) One Fine Man
14
14/1(-40%)
(1) One Fine Man 14/1, Landed back-to-back 2m handicaps at Carlisle/Ayr in February for James Moffatt. Not seen to best effect under patient ride on return and unseated before race developed at Doncaster last time, but remains to be seen whether he's as good for yard with few jumps runners. Both chase wins at 2m; finished remote for new yard, then unseated latest; down in grade.
7
7
|F| (7) (9/1 +10%) Thor De Cerisy
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Thor De Cerisy 9/1, Last of 5 finishers but shaped better than previously for current yard in a tightly-bunched finished over C&D (heavy) 36 days ago. Whether he can build on that remains to be seen. Acts well in the mud; well treated and best run for new yard over C&D latest; a player.
6
6
|U| (6) (11/4 +54%) Fiston De Becon
2.75
11/4(+54%)
(6) Fiston De Becon 11/4, Struck at second time of asking for this stable in 2m Wetherby maiden hurdle in January before doubling up at Market Rasen. Given a considerate introduction to chasing when fourth at Newbury last time and he's entitled to do better. Won 2 out of 3 completions over hurdles for this yard; encouraging chase debut at Newbury.
8
8
|PU| (8) (11/1 +45%) Danilo D'airy
11
11/1(+45%)
(8) Danilo D'airy 11/1, Won first 3 starts in handicap chases but went the wrong way subsequently and though he stopped the slide to some extent when fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 59 days ago, others still make far greater appeal. Won three times at about 3m1f in 2021; pulled up next 4 runs; better latest.
2
2
|PU| (2) (17/2 -70%) Fulgurix
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(2) Fulgurix 17/2, Signed off last season with a game success at at Sedgefield (21.1f, heavy). Up only 2 lb and merits respect if fully tuned up on return from 9-month absence. Lacks recent run but can go well fresh; 2m5f winner last April; may have more to come.
4
4
|PU| (4) (50/1 -150%) Kalkas
50
50/1(-150%)
(4) Kalkas 50/1, Fairly useful chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead but showed very little making debut for current yard after 20 months off at Leicester earlier in the month and he's got plenty to prove now. Useful novice chase form at 2m1f in Ireland but well held for new yard after long absence.
LTO Selection:
15:08 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Good Friday Fairy continued his fine form when hitting the crossbar at Exeter earlier in the month and is likely to be on the premises off a 3lb higher rating. However, a chance can be taken on FISTON DE BECON, who was sent off a big price to stay on for a never-nearer fourth over an extended 2m at Newbury last month and was dropped 2lb for that display. Olly Murphy's gelding steps up in trip and could improve from that run to go close. Greenrock Abbey is another to note.
GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY has proved himself a natural over fences since making the switch to larger obstacles and can resume winning ways after an arguably unlucky reversal at Exexter last time. Fiston de Becon wasn't given a hard time on chase debut but looks the sort who should take to fences and is capable of improvement, whilst Fulgurix is also respected on his comeback run.
There was much to like about the feisty display of GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY (nap) at Exeter and he still has some improvement left.
(7) Here Comes Mccoy 8/1, Made an inauspicious start over fences on return last term but he has posted pair of respectable efforts over hurdles this season. Foolish to rule out better in this sphere and interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Up in trip. On dangerous mark back over fences and could be a factor if he can put in a clear round.
2
3
2nd (3) (2/1 +65%) Sporting Ace
2
2/1(+65%)
(3) Sporting Ace 2/1, Consistent over hurdles and proved himself even better in this sphere when off the mark at second attempt at Chepstow (23.6f) in December. Still light on experience and could only midfield in Sussex National earlier this month. Back down in trip/cheekpieces refitted. Didn't fire in the Sussex National but he still has potential over fences; not ruled out.
3
5
3rd (5) (9/1 -13%) Grove Road
9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Grove Road 9/1, Sedgefield bumper winner who looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. Reappearance third in a Ffos Las handicap (3m, heavy) in November but not in same form in 2 starts over fences/hurdles since. Blinkers reached for now. Has a similar profile to Ballydisco and he needs to get back on track; first-time blinkers.
4
4
4th (4) (8/1 -33%) Ballydisco
8
8/1(-33%)
(4) Ballydisco 8/1, Made an inauspicious start over fences at Chepstow last month and again well below form returned to timber at Taunton (23.9f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track. Pulled up on chase debut last month and was well held over hurdles last time.
2
2
|PU| (2) (9/2 -13%) No But I Will
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) No But I Will 9/2, Point/hurdles winner who left reappearance effort well behind when making successful chase debut at Wetherby in November, impressing with his jumping and asserting run-in. Well beaten at Aintree (25f) over Christmas but bounce back distinctly possible now. Unexposed chaser; flopped at Aintree on Boxing Day but has claims if he can bounce back.
1
1
|PU| (1) (9/2 -29%) Well Dick
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(1) Well Dick 9/2, £135,000 purchase who made a bright start over hurdles last term, making it 2 wins from 4 starts when landing match at Hexham (23.3f) in March. Chasing type on appearance (Irish point winner) and feasible to think he can make his mark now handicapping over larger obstacles. Point and dual hurdle winner who is interesting on his handicap/chase debut.
6
6
|PU| (6) (11/1 -83%) Phantom Getaway
11
11/1(-83%)
(6) Phantom Getaway 11/1, Winning Irish pointer. Improved when off the mark in 3m Ffos Las handicap on his reappearance last season. Failed to match that form next 2 starts, however, and similarly not figured in pair o chase tries following a wind op initially winter. Cheekpieces back on. Has struggled in both runs over fences this season and he needs to turn things around.
8
8
|PU| (8) (14/1 +30%) Mister Bo
14
14/1(+30%)
(8) Mister Bo 14/1, Bumper winner in Ireland and fair form on best run over hurdles for Henry de Bromhead. However, failed to complete in 2 starts over hurdles/fences for new stable. Pulled up in both runs for this yard including on chase debut at Wetherby; lots to prove.
LTO Selection:
15:43 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4)
26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Conditions should suit the Neil King-trained SPORTING ACE, who had excuses when running below-par in the Sussex National last time, having been sent off as favourite. The son of Shantou ought to benefit from a drop in grade and the return to a more conventional track, while forecast ground conditions should also be in his favour. Fellow class-dropper No But I Will has a few questions to answer having been well held at Aintree on Boxing Day, but he must enter the reckoning along with former point winner Well Dick, who makes his chasing debut having been off the track since March.
NO BUT I WILL needs to shrug off a lesser display at Aintree over Christmas but he'd previously looked one to keep onside when scoring in determined style on chase debut at Wetherby and he's worth another chance to get back on the up. Well Dick was 2-4 and, very much a chaser on looks, he should be up to making his mark in this sphere. Here Comes McCoy and Sporing Ace are not out of things either.
The vote goes to WELL DICK, who was 2-4 over hurdles last season and is an interesting contender on this handicap/chase debut.
(3) Jukebox D'eddy 18/1, Fair maiden hurdler who got back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 36 days ago. One for the shortlist Got back on track with an eyecatching fourth of 13 over C&D last time; could be dangerous.
1
4
1st (4) (11/2 +31%) Ismael
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(4) Ismael 11/2, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and, making his handicap debut, produced one of his better efforts under Rules when fourth at Market Rasen (20.6f) on Boxing Day. Can build on that with return to left-handed track to suit. Close fourth on handicap debut at Market Rasen, despite jumping to the left; in the mix.
2
9
2nd (9) (15/2 -7%) Ginderella
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(9) Ginderella 15/2, Maiden hurdler but in good nick until sixth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 37 days ago when possibly finding that run coming too quickly. The sort to bounce back. Some promising efforts in handicaps but she was disappointing at Exeter (2m5f) last time.
3
11
3rd (11) (3/1 +75%) Twp Stori
3
3/1(+75%)
(11) Twp Stori 3/1, No impact in bumpers but best effort in this sphere when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 36 days ago. Considered eased 1 lb. 0-7 but he ran his best race so far when fifth of 13 over C&D last time; not ruled out.
4
2
4th (2) (4/1 -14%) Libor Lad
4
4/1(-14%)
(2) Libor Lad 4/1, C&D winner in November. Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 23 days ago so he's well in the mix despite a further 3 lb rise in the weights. Has form figures of 2212 this season and his win came on soft over C&D; respected.
5th
8
5th (8) (17/2 +6%) Hawaii Du Mestivel
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(8) Hawaii Du Mestivel 17/2, Third on only start in points but yet to offer much in 3 novice hurdles this winter. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement. Unexposed 7yo but he needs a transformation on his handicap debut; tongue-tie added.
6th
7
6th (7) (33/1 -175%) Lifetime Adventure
33
33/1(-175%)
(7) Lifetime Adventure 33/1, Modest maiden hurdler but he wasn't discredited when second of 10 in handicap at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and can give a good account. 50-1 second at Kelso (2m) last time but he was beaten 16l and is now 0-9; others preferred.
7th
5
7th (5) (18/1 -13%) Clongowes
18
18/1(-13%)
(5) Clongowes 18/1, Flat winner back in 2017 but he remains a maiden in this sphere and failed to build on debut promise for this yard when seventh in handicap hurdle at Plumpton. More is required. Overall strike-rate of 2-41 and hes been well held in both runs for new yard this winter.
8th

(6) Gardons La 80/1, Just a modicum of promise in 2 starts in France and has shown little for current connections, having a wind operation before refusing to race at Wincanton last month. Tongue tied now. Struggled in her first two handicaps before refusing to race at Wincanton last month.

3.5
7/2(-100%)
(1) Call Me Arthur 7/2, Much improved stepped up in trip when going close at Exeter (21.6f, soft) in November. Up 3 lb but likely has more to offer yet so he's a player with few miles still on the clock. Big improvement when going close in big-field handicap at Exeter in November; key player.

(12) Loch Garman Aris 40/1, Dual scorer over fences at Bangor in May 2021 but not so good nowadays and well held in a pair of handicap hurdles this winter. It's easy to look elsewhere. Teenager who has struggled in both runs this winter and remains without a win since 2021.

28/1(-133%)
(10) Cosheston 28/1, Poor maiden who wasn't at his best after 18 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 33 days ago. Visor back on. Needs to take a step forward. 11yo with a record of 0-19 and he ideally wants quicker ground; down the list.
LTO Selection:
16:18 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
C&D winner Libor Lad continues to run well and is likely to prove popular amongst punters, but a chance can be taken on ISMAEL. Kevin Frost's gelding shaped with promise on his handicap debut at Market Rasen last month, where he finished a creditable fourth. A point winner on slow ground, conditions will be in his favour and any progress would give him a chance. Call Me Arthur improved for a step up in trip last time out and he looks a big player off 3lb higher, while Jukebox D'eddy should not be underestimated either.
CALL ME ARTHUR took his form up a notch when runner-up at Exeter last time and is weighted to gain a breakthrough victory returning from a break here. Ismael is feared most now he reverts to a left-handed track, while C&D winner Libor Lad and the consistent Ginderella also need factoring into this open handicap.
Preference is for the progressive LIBOR LAD, who has form figures of 2212 this season and whose win came on soft ground over C&D.
