Races & Results Wednesday 24th April 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) It's Maisy 8/11, Made the perfect start in handicaps at Market Rasen and followed up over a still longer trip at Catterick, albeit in fortuitous fashion. Has remained in good order since, responding well when second at Wetherby last time, and could get back to winning ways in a weak race. 1122 in her four handicaps; nothing to prove regarding stamina or soft/heavy ground.
2
2nd (2) (6/1 +50%) Mattie Ross
6/1(+50%)
(2) Mattie Ross 6/1, Found improvement when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, soft) on penultimate outing but failed to back it up at Huntingdon 76 days ago. Handicap debut (near 2m4f) last time was a heavy defeat but she had form before that.
3
3rd (7) (4/1 +0%) Ebendi
4/1(+0%)
(7) Ebendi 4/1, Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien. Just poor form over hurdles for current yard but got back on track when a smooth-travelling fourth at Ayr last time. Not dismissed. Latest was one of his best results over hurdles, when fourth of 15 at Ayr (3m, good).
4
4th (3) (13/2 +7%) Sandy Brook
13/2(+7%)
(3) Sandy Brook 13/2, Fair bumper winner who ran to a similar level without success over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. No show over fences this term but return to smaller obstacles may help. Absent 699 days before this season, during which he's gone the wrong way in chases.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (18/1 -29%) Celine Man
18/1(-29%)
(8) Celine Man 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f) on his final run for Mark Fahey but, after a year-long lay-off, made a disappointing start for this yard at Plumpton recently. Plenty to prove. 2nd in Fakenham handicap (2m4f, soft) in March 2023 is far and away his best after 6 races.
15:59 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It's Maisy has filled the runner-up spot in this grade on each of her last two outings, so she has to be considered off 3lb higher than the latest of those displays. Lepashe can also go well, but the verdict is for SANDY BROOK, who is back over hurdles following three underwhelming chase starts and could be well treated off 95 judged on the pick of his form in 2021.
IT'S MAISY has been progressive this season and she'd arguably have won at Wetherby last time but for a late error. She's hard to get away from. Lepashe, down in grade, could be a player, while Ebendi also has a shout in a thin handicap.
Proven stamina and effectiveness in the mud earn the vote for the in-form mare IT'S MAISY. Ebendi is second choice.
(13) Miss Maverick 11/4, Fair form when runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Easily best effort to date over hurdles when runner-up at Hereford 10 days ago, coming clear of the remainder. Strong claims if he she can back that up. 66-1 second to a long odds-on favourite at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) ten days ago.
2
2nd (6) (40/1 -21%) Haarar
40/1(-21%)
(6) Haarar 40/1, Fairly useful on the Flat 28/1, first run since leaving Michael Bell when eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, heavy) on hurdling debut last month. Likely to be brought along gradually in this sphere. Fair Flat winner but did not show much at Wetherby (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in March.
3
3rd (12) (9/2 -35%) The Grey Man
9/2(-35%)
(12) The Grey Man 9/2, Went the right way from first run to second in bumpers and ran to a similarly fair level sent hurdling after 10 weeks off when second at Ludlow (2m) 77 days ago. Solid claims. 2nd in bumper at Hereford (good) in November and novice at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February.
4
4th (9) (5/2 +58%) Let's Sail Away
5/2(+58%)
(9) Let's Sail Away 5/2, Successful on his sole outing in points but hinted at temperament - no rarity with this family - as he failed to justify support sent hurdling 7 weeks on at Doncaster. Needs to improve plenty on that showing. Point winner; beaten 41l at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in January but went off at just 5-1.
5th
5th (5) (5/2 +38%) Give Me A Boom
5/2(+38%)
(5) Give Me A Boom 5/2, Promise only start in bumpers during 2022 and encouraging he could build on his belated reappearance/hurdles debut run when second of 9 in a Southwell novice. Much better than result at Newcastle since and remains one to be interested in back down in trip. Ran poorly on latest outing but penultimate run (2m4f, soft) would give him leading claims.
6th
6th (7) (20/1 +0%) Horsesomeharry
20/1(+0%)
(7) Horsesomeharry 20/1, Better effort over hurdles when sixth in a novice at Wetherby last time but handicaps will likely be the target, so he probably won't feature in this. 22l sixth of 15 at Wetherby (again 2m on soft) latest but he needs much better again.
7th
7th (8) (100/1 -100%) Independent Jimmy
100/1(-100%)
(8) Independent Jimmy 100/1, Related to winners over obstacles but looked green in bumpers and is likely to need more time. Others preferred. Low-level form at Catterick in two bumpers, latest on soft; more interesting on pedigree.
8th
8th (10) (100/1 -733%) Record Art
100/1(-733%)
(10) Record Art 100/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when third of 6 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Likely to need the run and has something to find. Latest start (August) was his best result but he needs to build on that in a major way.
9th
9th (4) (25/1 +0%) Get The Value
25/1(+0%)
(4) Get The Value 25/1, Fairly useful form in first 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers but there hasn't been much encouragement to be gleaned from his hurdling runs to date. Showed ability in good-ground bumpers; soundly beaten on hurdle debut (good) in November.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (33/1 -50%) Captains Road
33/1(-50%)
(1) Captains Road 33/1, Winning Irish pointer in 2022 but not seen again until pulling up on Southwell hurdle debut 51 days ago. Others make more appeal. Irish point win; 12-1, pulled up at Southwell (2m4f, soft) when switched to rules.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (250/1 -400%) Kally Des Bruyeres
250/1(-400%)
(14) Kally Des Bruyeres 250/1, £26,000 Cokoriko gelding who failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Hereford on debut and looks up against it switched to hurdling. 16-1, faded right out of it when last of 6 in bumper at Hereford (2m, soft) two months ago.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (250/1 -279%) El Bandido Pancho
250/1(-279%)
(3) El Bandido Pancho 250/1, Westerner gelding who has hinted at ability over hurdles so far but won't be of interest this side of handicapping. Beaten about 50l on heavy in a bumper at Chepstow (15-2) and 2m1f maiden at Fontwell..
|PU|
|PU| (11) (250/1 -150%) Skin Full
250/1(-150%)
(11) Skin Full 250/1, Cost £82,000 after finishing runner-up sole in an Irish point last spring but there's been no short-term promise so far under Rules. 2nd in Irish point one year ago; remote in two novice hurdles at Taunton (2m, soft).
16:30 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MISS MAVERICK outran her big odds to only be denied by four lengths when second behind a well-fancied favourite at Hereford earlier in the month and the drop in trip looks like a good move. Gary Hanmer's seven-year-old looks to have found a good opportunity to go one better, with her main danger possibly being Give Me A Boom, who has run with credit in each of his three starts over the smaller obstacles. Of the remainder, Let's Sail Away makes the most appeal after his fifth at Doncaster.
GIVE ME A BOOM ran well at Southwell on his penultimate outing, then shaped as if stretched by the trip at Newcastle last time, so he's worth a chance to open his account under more suitable conditions. Miss Maverick and The Grey Man are the obvious dangers.
Calculations are dominated by just three of these runners and THE GREY MAN is preferred to Miss Maverick and Give Me A Boom.
(2) Friends Don't Ask 33/1, Dual winner in 2021/22 for Martin Smith, including at this course (26.1f), but following a 22-month absence he has offered little in 2 starts this season for his current yard. Best watched. Course winner (2021) but returned from very long absence in January and has struggled.
1
1st (6) (11/2 +27%) Eclair De Guye
11/2(+27%)
(6) Eclair De Guye 11/2, Placed on his first 3 starts this season, albeit beaten a long way on the first 2 occasions, but not in the same form on his last 2 outings. Last win came back in December 2020, though he does now lurk on a dangerous mark. Hint of a revival when third at Southwell in January but pulled up on both starts since.
2
2nd (11) (9/2 -29%) Higgs
9/2(-29%)
(11) Higgs 9/2, Veteran who remains without a win over fences. However, from his falling mark he fared better than for a while when second at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) 8 days ago, headed final 100 yds after not quite seeing out the longer trip. Task is now to build on his latest effort. 0-16 over fences; looked set to win at Ffos Las last Tuesday only to be overhauled.
3
3rd (8) (11/2 -100%) River Tyne
11/2(-100%)
(8) River Tyne 11/2, Winner of sole start between the flags and, though yet to strike under Rules, she has returned to form on her last 2 outings, finishing runner-up once more at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 23 days ago. Could be ready to get her head in front. 0-18 under rules but runner-up the last twice and good recent form is scarce in this field.
4
4th (3) (13/2 -30%) Conceroe
13/2(-30%)
(3) Conceroe 13/2, Off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Fakenham (21.2f) in November 2022. Off 15 months subsequently and proved better for his return when second of 4 at the same course (29.1f, good to soft) in March. Lesser effort last time but he's not discounted. Inconsistent and tailed off last time, but fair second previously and not discounted.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (4/1 +64%) Pebbly New Moon
4/1(+64%)
(5) Pebbly New Moon 4/1, Lightly-raced hurdler for Oliver Sherwood/Richard Bandey. Better than the result after 2 years off when mid-field at this C&D on his chasing debut in December, still in front when bad mistake 3 out, but again made errors when pulled up last time. Blinkers now applied. Promise here on the first of his two starts following a long absence; blinkers may help.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (6/1 -20%) Twilight Glory
6/1(-20%)
(7) Twilight Glory 6/1, Bounced back to winning ways at Chepstow (23.6f) in January and followed up in clear-cut fashion at the same course (26.2f, heavy) a month later. Disappointed in his hat-trick bid but he could be worth another chance to leave his latest run behind. Disappointing at Chepstow last month but went there on a hat-trick; could bounce back.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (7/1 +68%) Mackie Dee
7/1(+68%)
(10) Mackie Dee 7/1, Hurdles winner at this course in June 2022 and, after a 16-month absence shaped as though retaining his ability when third in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f) in November. However, after another 4 months off he was pulled up back hurdling last time. Hood reapplied. Ran okay last November when back from long absence but pulled up on only run since.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (18/1 +0%) Beauvallon Bay
18/1(+0%)
(1) Beauvallon Bay 18/1, Fair form over hurdles for Amy Murphy in 2020/21. Has won twice in points subsequently, but well beaten by his sole rival on his final start back in June 2022. Engaged 2.53 Southwell Tuesday. Two point wins in spring 2022; absent since; check betting on stable/chase debut.
17:00 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 5)
24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RIVER TYNE has hit the crossbar on each of her last two outings in this grade and she goes off an unchanged mark. Nick Gifford's point-to-point winner can get her head in front for the first time under Rules. The main threat might be Higgs, who finished second at Ffos Las last time and the veteran could be a player off 3lb higher, while Twilight Glory may get involved if he bounces back from his below-par sixth at Chepstow.
RIVER TYNE finished runner-up for the seventh time in 11 chase starts at Huntingdon at the beginning of the month and she is taken to go one better this time around. Twilight Glory had been in good form prior to his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of Conceroe.
The first-time blinkers may be a positive for PEBBLY NEW MOON and he is the selection ahead of River Tyne.
(7) Flaming Ambition 13/2, Won sole start in points and confirmed promise of eye-catching hurdling debut up in trip when landing 21f Warwick maiden. Creditable second under a penalty at Southwell since but probably best watched switched to fences after 2 years off. Graduates to a handicap, fences and a new trip for this first run since April 2022.
2
2nd (11) (5/1 +55%) Good Work
5/1(+55%)
(11) Good Work 5/1, Fair maiden chaser has long been an irresolute sort and produced one of his lesser efforts when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft, 10/3) 25 days ago. Others preferred. 0-21, below form on last two outings; finished second 11 times, including over 3m on heavy.
3
3rd (2) (17/2 +23%) Red Rookie
17/2(+23%)
(2) Red Rookie 17/2, Looked back in form when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, heavy, 18/1) 32 days ago, albeit without fully convincing with his suitability for the longer trip. Others preferred. Underwhelming in his six runs this November-March; best of those runs three starts back.
4
4th (10) (10/3 -11%) Anti Bridgie
10/3(-11%)
(10) Anti Bridgie 10/3, Fair form in winning her first 2 starts over hurdles last season and took advantage of a weak race to open her account over fences in a 5-runner novice chase at Warwick (20f, heavy) 45 days ago. Respected back in a handicap. Did not have to be at her best to win last time but has made a solid start to chase career.
5th
5th (1) (11/1 -120%) Omar Maretti
11/1(-120%)
(1) Omar Maretti 11/1, Landed a gamble when capitalising on further drop in the weights at Catterick (25.2f) in February. Since posted a pair of respectable third-placed efforts and he's not discounted. Won four-runner race by a street at Catterick (3m1f); not so good either start since.
6th
6th (9) (20/1 -67%) East Street
20/1(-67%)
(9) East Street 20/1, Benefited from a pace collapse when scoring at Wetherby (24.2f) in November and almost followed up at Newcastle next time. Very little to like since, though, and it seems as if temperament is beginning to get the better of him. Good runs in November and December but he's lost his form.
7th
7th (5) (5/1 +9%) Hudson De Grugy
5/1(+9%)
(5) Hudson De Grugy 5/1, Prone to mistakes over fences but produced creditable effort when third of 8 in handicap chase at Sandown (20f, good to soft, 6/1) 46 days ago. Jumping remains a concern but he's clearly on a good mark if able to produce a clean round. Made mistakes on last two outings and stamina not proven (seen only twice at about 3m).
|U|
|U| (4) (4/1 +50%) Hauraki Gulf
4/1(+50%)
(4) Hauraki Gulf 4/1, Made a winning start over fences at Sedgefield in January before doubling his tally at Leicester the following month. Fourth in a more competitive event over C&D (heavy, 4/1) 39 days ago and holds place claims. Won two small-field chases in the mud; C&D performance (heavy) on latest outing was modest.
17:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 3)
24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
OMAR MARETTI should appreciate this ease in class having finished third in a 0-150 event at Carlisle earlier this month. Alex Hales' veteran is now only 1lb higher than his 35-length romp at Catterick in February and a return to the winner's enclosure could be in the offing. Anti Bridgie showed more verve in first-time cheekpieces when making all in a novice chase at Warwick last time out. The seven-year-old mare is a viable alternative to the selection, while Belargus and Hudson De Grugy also warrant a second look.
BELARGUS has returned to some sort of form and can cash in on a much-reduced mark. Omar Maretti has produced a couple of sound efforts after winning at Catterick and can make the frame again, with Anti Bridgie another player back in a handicap.
The most solid option appears to be ANTI BRIDGIE, who will be suited by the step up in trip after her odds-on win last time.
(3) Il Va De Soi 2/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft, 11/10) 23 days ago, always holding on. Going the right way and should be on the premises again. Up another 8lb, which demands more again but he's turned a corner with last two efforts.
2
2nd (4) (6/1 +0%) Damarta
6/1(+0%)
(4) Damarta 6/1, Confirmed promise of his third at this track when running out a comfortable winner at Southwell in January. Steady pace did him no favours at Huntingdon next time and he's likely to get back on track up in trip with a tongue strap applied. Won readily at Southwell (2m, good to soft); fair third on starts either side (soft/heavy).
3
3rd (1) (13/8 +7%) Mr Bramley
13/8(+7%)
(1) Mr Bramley 13/8, Progressive in bumpers and immediate improvement on hurdles debut at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) where he landed a decent novice in decisive fashion. Made it 2-2 in this sphere at Carlisle last month and more improvement should be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap. Progressive and this opening mark looks well within his reach.
4
4th (6) (8/1 +0%) Royal Rhythm
8/1(+0%)
(6) Royal Rhythm 8/1, Made a successful debut for Jonjo O'Neill at Carlisle in October. Added to that at Wetherby on Boxing Day and has remained in form since, albeit while shaping as if the handicapper has caught up with him. Good chance if he reverts to the form shown when winning at Wetherby at Christmas.
5th
5th (5) (25/1 -79%) Art Approval
25/1(-79%)
(5) Art Approval 25/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences for Fergal O'Brien and showed that some ability remains when fifth to Il Va de Soi in handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time. On a fair mark if he can build on that. Latest start was a step back in the right direction and he does have a reduced mark.
6th
6th (7) (150/1 -127%) Jac Jumper
150/1(-127%)
(7) Jac Jumper 150/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France but pulled up both starts for current yard and has plenty to prove. Pulled up when 33-1 and 80-1 for his two starts in Britain, given wind surgery in between.
7th
7th (8) (16/1 -45%) Sizing Pottsie
16/1(-45%)
(8) Sizing Pottsie 16/1, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 and hit the crossbar in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (heavy) in November. Back on track with blinkers applied at Ffos Las 24 days ago but others look better treated. Some minor honours in a rather mixed record over hurdles this season, in blinkers latest.
8th
8th (2) (16/1 -167%) Cloud Dancer
16/1(-167%)
(2) Cloud Dancer 16/1, Made a winning hurdles debut over 2m at Newbury in February 2023 and bettered that form when third of 4 in a useful conditions race at Ascot (2m, good) on his reappearance in November. Not quite in the same form since. Needs overall improvement for this handicap debut, with headgear first time.
18:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although respected, an 8lb rise for Il Va De Soi's Chepstow triumph demands more from him. The six-year-old may be worth taking on, possibly with fellow in-form rival DAMARTA making most appeal. The son of Martaline should relish this step up in distance if judged on his breeding and he's taken to regain the winning thread. Cloud Dancer's opening mark looks somewhat stiff judged on his latest defeat at Plumpton, but a first-time visor may spark some improvement.
MR BRAMLEY is two from two over hurdles and appears to have been let in lightly for handicaps, so he's a confident choice to get the better of Il Va de Soi, who is also going the right way. Damarta should get back on track and looks the pick of the remainder.
The progressive MR BRAMLEY (nap) looks on a very reasonable mark for his handicap debut and he can win again.
(3) Lady Malarkey 20/1, Winner for John Groucott at Worcester in May 2022 but not so good both starts for Dave Roberts the following month. Makes debut for another new yard on the back of a lengthy absence and she's probably best watched. Easily best so far at Worcester, including sole win (2022); new yard after her layoff.
2
2nd (1) (11/4 -46%) Billams Legacy
11/4(-46%)
(1) Billams Legacy 11/4, Bumper winner who has often proved a bit headstrong for her own good but she has hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts, including when returning from a 15-month absence on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft). Big player. Second on last four starts, going handicapping on latest under Tom Broughton at Fakenham.
3
3rd (7) (9/1 +86%) Northern Rose
9/1(+86%)
(7) Northern Rose 9/1, Has merely hinted at ability in various company so far and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Low-level maiden on Flat and over hurdles; probably up against from 3lb out of handicap.
4
4th (4) (9/2 +44%) Well Done Dani
9/2(+44%)
(4) Well Done Dani 9/2, Successful at Southwell and Worcester following a wind op last season. Looked a non-stayer upped to 20.4f at Southwell when last seen 9 months ago and while this drop back in trip will help, she will probably find one or two too good. Not seen since a heavy defeat in July and she's unraced on worse than good to soft.
5th
5th (5) (13/8 +7%) Ma Belle Artiste
13/8(+7%)
(5) Ma Belle Artiste 13/8, Useful 1m winner on Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Changed hands for 45,000 gns in October and stepped up on initial efforts in this sphere when a clear second to Golden Maverick (winner again since) in a Haydock juvenile hurdle (15.6f, soft) last time. Of strong interest on handicap debut. Useful Flat, 7f/1m wins; front-running second at Haydock (1m7f, soft; 5 ran) latest run.
6th
6th (2) (6/1 -20%) Walkinthecotswolds
6/1(-20%)
(2) Walkinthecotswolds 6/1, Has made the frame all 4 starts since the turn of the year, most recently finishing second on handicap debut in a 4-runner affair at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) last month. Back down in trip here and more will be needed if she's to go one better. Handicap debut when second of four at Southwell (2m4f, soft) on latest, travelling best.
18:45 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MA BELLE ARTISTE found only a subsequent winner too strong at Haydock last month and a mark of 92 looks potentially lenient now entering handicaps in this sphere. Robert Bevis' filly has shown some smart form on the Flat and she should take all the beating if continuing her progression. Billams Legacy made a most encouraging reappearance from a 460-day layoff when runner-up at Fakenham earlier this month. The nine-year-old should give another good account, while Walkinthecotswolds is unlikely to be far away either.
Ready preference is for MA BELLE ARTISTE, who was a good second to a useful type at Haydock last time and she could be about to take another sizeable step forward now pitched into a handicap. Billams Legacy is second choice on the back of her solid reappearance effort at Fakenham and Walkinthecotswolds could be in line for minor place money.
Walkinthecotswolds and BILLAMS LEGACY travelled best entering the closing stages last time out. They may be the principals in this.
(1) Blue Las 7/1, Bred to stay well and overcame failing to settle to land a Southwell bumper in heavy ground 3 weeks ago. Rider offsets penalty and she could have more to offer. Followed promising debut by winning on heavy at Huntingdon last time; should go well again.
2
2nd (7) (16/5 -60%) Walkadina
16/5(-60%)
(7) Walkadina 16/5, Well backed having placed on her sole outing in points, made a promising start to career under Rules in a similar event at Hereford 7 weeks ago. Should have no trouble landing one of these. Third in an Irish point and shaped well when runner-up at Hereford on bumper debut; chance.
3
3rd (3) (11/8 +54%) Dream Shadow
11/8(+54%)
(3) Dream Shadow 11/8, £100,000 half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/fair chaser Shadow Eile (2m-2½m winner) and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Corskeagh Royale (winner up to 2¾m who stayed 25f, both by Beneficial). Easy winner sole start in Irish points a year ago. Lots to like. Cost £100,000 after maiden point win last April; interesting on stable/bumper debut.
4
4th (5) (25/1 -14%) Paradise Park
25/1(-14%)
(5) Paradise Park 25/1, £8,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Closely related to fair 2m/2½m hurdle winner Missed Tee, and half-sister to fairly useful chaser Arahecan. £8,000 3yo by Walk In The Park; likely to improve for the experience.
5th
5th (9) (16/1 -33%) Barrabool
16/1(-33%)
(9) Barrabool 16/1, 12/1 and showed ability in similar event at Chepstow on debut 5 weeks ago, making a move from off the slow pace. Promising third of seven in Chepstow bumper last month (2m, soft); likely improver..
6th
6th (8) (18/1 +10%) Another Pearl
18/1(+10%)
(8) Another Pearl 18/1, Blue Bresil filly. Dam triple bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (19f winner, stayed 3m). By Blue Bresil; dam a bumper/2m3f hurdle winner; £30,000 2yo; interesting newcomer.
7th
7th (4) (13/2 +19%) Honeywort
13/2(+19%)
(4) Honeywort 13/2, £48,000 buy, closely related to fair hurdler Midnight Gold (2½m winner, by Fame And Glory). Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Jan 7). £48,000 buy in January having finished second in an Irish point; stable/bumper debut.
8th
8th (11) (40/1 -60%) Spinnova
40/1(-60%)
(11) Spinnova 40/1, Kayf Tara filly. Dam maiden hurdler, half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Spinner. Filly by Kayf Tara whose dam was runner-up in a bumper; likely to need the experience.
9th
9th (2) (25/1 +24%) Blacksambelle
25/1(+24%)
(2) Blacksambelle 25/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Dam bumper/23f hurdle winner. Stable not renowned for winners in this sphere but pedigree gives her some hope. Home-bred out of a winning bumper/2m7f hurdle mare; newcomer.
10th
10th (10) (28/1 -56%) Dancinnthemoonlite
28/1(-56%)
(10) Dancinnthemoonlite 28/1, Pether's Moon filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Lady Mix, stayed 3m over hurdles. Runner-up in a point last month. Runner-up in an English point last month; subsequently bought for £16,500; bumper debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The form of WALKADINA's debut second has worked out well, with the third coming out to win next time, so David Pipe's mare ought to hold every chance with improvement likely. Point winner Dream Shadow represents a team that have enjoyed plenty of success in these types of contests and she is an obvious candidate despite her lack of experience, while Blue Las, who must shoulder a penalty having struck at Southwell 20 days ago, should not be underestimated.
WALKADINA made a bright start in a similar event at Hereford 7 weeks ago having been well backed and she makes plenty of appeal with improvement in the offing. Dream Shadow is an interesting newcomer, while Roaring Home could have a race like this in her.
Former pointer WALKADINA showed enough on her debut to suggest she can win a race like this. Roaring Home should also go well.
(6) Taxus Baccata 12/1, Califet mare. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (2m winner) Wither Hills. Successful on last of 4 starts in points. Won Irish point in February; no easy task for new yard on bumper debut.
2
2nd (9) (12/1 -9%) Mighty Fleur
12/1(-9%)
(9) Mighty Fleur 12/1, Scorpion filly. Sister to modest/ungenuine chaser The Scorpion King, and half-sister to bumper winner/modest 2m/2½m hurdle winner River of Joy. Sister to a 2m3f chase winner out of a Listed bumper/2m Flat winner; worth a market check.
3
3rd (7) (17/2 -42%) Goddess Afrana
17/2(-42%)
(7) Goddess Afrana 17/2, 80/1, in trouble before most on debut at Newbury 7 weeks ago, but stuck to her task, showing a fair level of ability. More needed. Promising fifth of nine at Newbury on debut; that form sound; worth considering.
4
4th (10) (7/2 +86%) Sugar Glider
7/2(+86%)
(10) Sugar Glider 7/2, Bathyrhon filly. Dam, French hurdler (17f/2¼m winner), half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser in France (17f-2¾m winner) Le Berry. First foal of a French 2m1f-2m2f hurdle winner; probably best watched this time.
5th
5th (5) (7/2 +13%) Swallowfields
7/2(+13%)
(5) Swallowfields 7/2, Blue Bresil mare. Dam unraced. One to note on debut for good yard. Home-bred filly by Blue Bresil out of an unraced mare by Shirocco; worth a market check.
6th
6th (3) (15/2 +6%) Jesuila Des Mottes
15/2(+6%)
(3) Jesuila Des Mottes 15/2, Voiladenuo mare. Half-sister to French hurdle/chase winner Galko des Mottes. Dam 15f-19f hurdle winner in France. Noteworthy newcomer. £26,000 2yo; half-sister to a French 2m2f chase/2m3f hurdle winner; worth a market check.

(11) Taramart 15/2, Kayf Tara filly. Dam 2m-2½m chase winner, closely related to fair French hurdle winner/useful chaser (17f-2¾m winner) Ebene du Breuil. First foal of a 2m-2m4f chase winner; likely to improve for the experience.
9th
9th (4) (100/1 -203%) Lucille Diamond
100/1(-203%)
(4) Lucille Diamond 100/1, 2,600 gns 3-y-o, Dartmouth mare. Dam 1m winner. Dartmouth filly with a Flat pedigree; 2,600gns 3yo; probably best watched this time..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Austins Hill Lass bolted up in an Alnwick point-to-point and appeals as a likely type on today's Rules debut, but a chance can be taken on SWALLOWFIELDS. Harry Derham hasn't sent out many in bumpers since taking out his license in late 2022, but he has an excellent record when doing so (5-15), so it would come as no surprise were the selection to make an immediate impact. Others to note include Jesuila Des Mottes and Goddess Afrana.
AUSTINS HILL LASS makes plenty of appeal on paper as a wide-margin point bumper winner and she gets the vote over Swallowfields and Jesuila des Mottes.
Having joined a top yard since her easy win in a point bumper in January, AUSTINS HILL LASS is selected to make a winning rules debut.

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.
