1st (2)  (0.67/1 +33%)Universal Folly |
0.67/1(+33%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Universal Folly 0.67/1, Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Market Rasen (23f) in March and ran creditably despite the drop back in trip looking against him when second over fences at Perth (20f) last month, outpaced early in the straight and staying on. Return to further rates a plus. Capable off this mark and does have the benefit of chasing experience. |
|
2nd (1)  (1.2/1 -45%)Martello Sky |
1.2/1(-45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Martello Sky 1.2/1, Useful hurdler who has been pretty consistent in defeat at listed/Graded level this season. Heavy defeat back in a handicap on final run for Lucy Wadham last month and quicly switches to fences by new yard. Tailed off last time but was generally reliable over hurdles; chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
With only two runners going to post, this is a match between Martello Sky and UNIVERSAL FOLLY, and the latter just preferred. The selection has chase experience under his belt and should appreciate this longer distance. The aforementioned Martello Sky makes her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland and could be sparked to life by a change of scenery/obstacles, but the mare may find this 3m trip stretches her stamina.
A match but it's not short on intrigue. The return to 3m will suit UNIVERSAL FOLLY and his experience over fences tilts the scales his way, though Martello Sky would be a formidable opponent if matching her hurdles form sent chasing by her new stable.
With chasing experience in the bag, UNIVERSAL FOLLY is marginally preferred to Martello Sky.

1st (1)  (1.1/1 +51%)Ooh Betty |
1.1/1(+51%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ooh Betty 1.1/1, Point winner who is evidently going the right way now, having a bit in hand when opening her account at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago by 5½ lengths from Manimole. Should have more to offer so holds obvious claims. Going the right way and might well be up to defying a penalty in this company. |
|
2nd (8)  (2.75/1 +39%)Manimole |
2.75/1(+39%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Manimole 2.75/1, Modest maiden hurdler who had no problem with the longer trip when 5½ lengths second of 11 to Ooh Betty at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, taking too long to wind up. Could get closer to that rival with her usual rider back on board. Even on better terms she's unlikely to reverse Ludlow placings with Ooh Betty. |
|
3rd (10)  (8.5/1 +0%)Our Friend Mo |
8.5/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Our Friend Mo 8.5/1, Mahler mare who was third in her sole start in Irish points and showed a bit before being derailed by a blunder on hurdling debut at Haydock (18.9f, good to firm just over 7 weeks ago. Point winner; made a mid-race blunder when beaten 20l on hurdling debut. |
|
4th (12)  (50/1 -257%)Jolie Baie |
50/1(-257%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Jolie Baie 50/1, Offered little in a Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut in February and stepped up on hurdles bow when third at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. More required. An improved third at Exeter but without posing any threat to the principals. |
|
5th (6)  (66/1 -65%)Crimson Ruby |
66/1(-65%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Crimson Ruby 66/1, Half-sister to fair hurdler Prussia With Love, stays 23f. Down the field in Huntingdon/Southwell bumpers in recent months so she's not the easiest to warm to sent hurdling. Bred to make a hurdler but she's an unlikely winner on what she's shown thus far. |
|
6th (7)  (200/1 -100%)Getalady |
200/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getalady 200/1, Winning pointer but went with no encouragement in maiden at Aintree and novice at Leicester in 2021/22 season. Has since left Jake Thomas Coulson and arrives with plenty to prove after 17 months off. Irish point winner but no signs of promise in two outings over hurdles in 2021. |
|
7th (9)  (40/1 -186%)On Se Calme |
40/1(-186%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) On Se Calme 40/1, No Risk At All filly who got off mark in Irish points at second attempt but showed nothing making debut under Rules in bumper at Warwick in December. Tough to know what to expect on hurdling debut. Tailed off in a soft-ground bumper but she won her point on good ground. |
|
|PU| (3)  (8/1 +50%)Bell Way |
8/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bell Way 8/1, Beat Hollow mare. Dam triple bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner. Wears tongue strap. First foal; dam triple bumper and 2m4f hurdle winner; could easily have some say on debut. |
|
|PU| (5)  (14/1 -250%)Blue Clover |
14/1(-250%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blue Clover 14/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when runner-up in maiden at Stratford (16.3f, soft) 5 weeks ago. That experience won't have been lost on her so needs considering. Accrued further place money when a one-paced second on her hurdling debut; goes further. |
|
|PU| (4)  (16/1 -14%)Blow The Budget |
16/1(-14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Blow The Budget 16/1, Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Kakamora and showed promise when fifth of 11 on debut in a Uttoxeter bumper last autumn. Ran to a similar level 6 months off at Southwell recently and she's worth a market check on hurdles bow. Fair efforts in two bumpers and bred to do better now hurdling over further. |
|
|PU| (13)  (22/1 -120%)Pennsylvanie |
22/1(-120%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Pennsylvanie 22/1, Fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in France and stepped up on British/yard debut despite not being seen to best effect when 14½ lengths fifth of 11 to Ooh Betty in maiden at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, losing place when hampered seventh. Behind both Ooh Betty and Manimole at Ludlow (beaten about 15l by the winner). |
|
|PU| (2)  (33/1 +50%)Ample Handful |
33/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ample Handful 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel mare. Dam pulled up both starts over hurdles. Pulled up sole start in Irish points (Apr 8). Poor point run but has joined a respected yard under rules. |
|
|PU| (11)  (50/1 -100%)Real Pieces |
50/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Real Pieces 50/1, Telescope mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Actinpieces and useful hurdler/chaser Xcitations, stays 2½m. Half-sister to six winners but a watching brief is probably best. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Ooh Betty had reopposing Manimole (second) behind her when shedding her maiden tag at Ludlow last time and another bold bid is expected, despite shouldering a 6lb penalty here. However, a chance is taken on BLUE CLOVER, who finished runner-up on her hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Stratford in April and Fergal O'Brien's mare may find the necessary improvement now up in trip. The lightly-raced Our Friend Mo also enters calculations.
OOH BETTY had a bit up her sleeve when seeing off Manimole at Ludlow earlier this month and, with further improvement a distinct possibility for Ben Clarke's mare, she's fancied to confirm those placings once again. Blue Clover is sure to have derived plenty from her runner-up effort on hurdling debut so she can fight out third spot with Our Friend Mo.
Ben Clarke's OOH BETTY pulled readily clear of Manimole at Ludlow and confirming those places might be enough here.

0.83/1(-4%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brianna Rose 0.83/1, Winner of a Southwell maiden hurdle in December 2021 and consistent in handicaps since, creditable fourth at Taunton a couple of months ago. Likely type on chasing debut. Consistent over hurdles last season; makes her chasing debut here; trip/ground will suit. |
|
2nd (1)  (1/1 +9%)Judge Earle |
1/1(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Judge Earle 1/1, Lost his form towards the end of last year but drops in grade and returns with his stable amongst the winners. Strong claims. Won five good-ground chases in early part of last season; back from break on good mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This is now a match after Ballaquane was declared a non-runner. JUDGE EARLE lost his form towards the end of his last campaign in October, but he boasts a fine record at this course and, with his stable among the winners of late, he is fancied to regain the winning thread on his return. Brianna Rose was in good heart over hurdles in March and is an obvious threat if taking to fences for the first time.
BRIANNA ROSE is a reliable hurdler who has been found a weak race to begin her chasing career, so a chance is taken on her to beat Judge Earle, who returns at a time when his stable is in good order.
Likely front-runner JUDGE EARLE enjoyed a very productive spell in good-ground chases last year and resumes on a good mark.

1st (6)  (5/1 +29%)Gloire D'athon |
5/1(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gloire D'athon 5/1, Thriving sort who made it four from five over fences when landing a handicap at Sandown a month ago. Could do better again and another bold showing is expected from this likeable type. Won four chases last season, the latest a valuable event at Sandown last month; respected. |
|
2nd (12)  (6/1 +29%)Quid Pro Quo |
6/1(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Quid Pro Quo 6/1, 10/3, got off the mark over fences with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Southwell in April and backed it up with a reasonable showing at Warwick. Run of this race should suit his style. Has got his act together over fences this spring and is probably still on a workable mark. |
|
3rd (2)  (22/1 -83%)Killer Clown |
22/1(-83%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Killer Clown 22/1, Dual handicap winner over 2½m in 2021/22 season. Ran well at Market Rasen on return but had a hard race that day and hasn't fired since. On a good mark now but needs latest wind op (his third) to have made a difference. |
|
4th (11)  (9/1 -29%)Walk In Clover |
9/1(-29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Walk In Clover 9/1, Proved well suited by truly-run affair and sprang a surprise from 14 lb out of the weights when landing 20.6f Grade 2 handicap chase at Cheltenham under this rider. Followed up at Southwell a week later and revised mark could still be within range, Improved form when completing a quick double last month; dangerous to ignore in this mood. |
|
5th (10)  (8.5/1 -6%)Coastguard Station |
8.5/1(-6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Coastguard Station 8.5/1, Dual winning pointer who improved on his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in 2m handicap at Doncaster in November. Good placed efforts since (left with a lot to do at Ayr last time) and should get the longer trip. Ended last season with two good 2m runs and looks well worth another crack at 2m4f. |
|
6th (3)  (22/1 -22%)Northern Bound |
22/1(-22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Northern Bound 22/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences when taking 4-runner handicap (11/8) at Newbury (19.8f, good to firm) in November, bit in hand. Running well when unseated at Chepstow (might have been placed) last time and should remain competitive. In career-best form last summer/autumn; needs to be back at peak to overcome this mark. |
|
7th (8)  (12/1 +0%)Jacamar |
12/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jacamar 12/1, Capitalised on drop in grade in 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester in February. Just respectable efforts at best since (poor effort at Aintree last time). Something to prove. Won in February but was largely below par last season; others preferred. |
|
8th (7)  (7/1 +36%)Captain Tom Cat |
7/1(+36%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Captain Tom Cat 7/1, Developed into a pretty smart chaser in 2021/22, successful 4 times. Not the same force nowadays but performed respectably when third at Aintree 9 days ago. Blinkers go back on. Not the force of old but placed twice this spring and will be suited by today's ground. |
|
9th (1)  (6.5/1 -44%)Tea Clipper |
6.5/1(-44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tea Clipper 6.5/1, Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap chase at Sandown (28.7f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. On a reasonable mark and is worth bearing in mind back at a trip that is more suitable. Safely held in major handicaps on final two starts last season but will find this easier. |
|
|F| (4)  (5/1 +9%)Raffle Ticket |
5/1(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Raffle Ticket 5/1, Point/hurdles winner who cemented positive start over fences when landing an 11-runner handicap at Worcester 20 days ago. More to come and boasts leading claims. Low-mileage 9yo who is 2-3 over fences after last month's Worcester success; big player. |
|
|PU| (5)  (12/1 +25%)Witness Protection |
12/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Witness Protection 12/1, Dual hurdles winner who made it third time lucky over fences at Chepstow (2m) in November 2021. Lightly raced since but more encouragement when sixth at this course last time. Drop back in trip will suit. Put in good front-running shift over 3m here this month and 2m4f probably suits better. |
|
|PU| (9)  (25/1 -25%)Magic Dancer |
25/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Magic Dancer 25/1, Picked up where he left off last season by making a winning reappearance at Cheltenham in November. Not in the same form subsequently, however. Won off this mark at Cheltenham in November but two lesser efforts have followed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GLOIRE D'ATHON did it very nicely at Sandown last time, making it four wins from his last five starts, and he continues to look firmly on the upgrade for the Sarah Humphrey yard. The son of Doctor Dino is now only 3lb higher and given the manner of that latest success, he is taken to go in once more. The main danger might be Raffle Ticket, who struck by just over a length at Worcester last time and could get involved off a 5lb higher rating. Walk In Clover is in fine fettle and has to be considered.
RAFFLE TICKET arrives on a hat-trick and had something to spare at Worcester last time, so he's preferred to Gloire d'Athon, who is also progressing well at the moment. Walk In Clover is another big player.
There could be more to come from RAFFLE TICKET (nap), who kept on strongly to score at Worcester this month and remains lightly raced.

1.88/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Park Hill Dancer 1.88/1, Exeter bumper scorer who got off the mark without needing to improve much on the pick of his efforts from last season at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 17 days ago. Sent handicapping and will likely to have more to offer for his top yard. Came clear with his market rival when taking a 2m4f good-ground maiden at Huntingdon. |
|
2nd (3)  (3/1 +14%)Midnight Ginger |
3/1(+14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Midnight Ginger 3/1, Likeable mare who added to her tally in 2m Newbury handicap on New Year's Eve. Not at her best in 3 starts since, but the handicapper has cut her some slack and she could be ready to strike on the back of a recent run. She was keeping on when fourth over 2m5f at Warwick a fortnight ago; should be involved. |
|
3rd (2)  (5.5/1 +45%)Fat Sam |
5.5/1(+45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fat Sam 5.5/1, Winner of a Ffos Las novice in this sphere and a Newton Abbot handicap chase last summer. However, temperament issues surfaced in the autumn and he may have needed the run after 7 months off when mid-field at Warwick (19f, good to soft) last month. Cheekpieces back on. Only sixth on his return to this code a month ago (2m3f, good) and needed to show more. |
|
4th (6)  (6/1 +14%)American Gerry |
6/1(+14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) American Gerry 6/1, Successful twice during first half of 2022 and having been lightly raced since, ran right up to best when fourth at Fontwell last month. Appeared to be spooked when unseating his rider at the start back there 10 days ago and the headgear goes back on. Has not been at his best for a while but he's on a dangerous mark. |
|
5th (1)  (7.5/1 -173%)Kerosine Light |
7.5/1(-173%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kerosine Light 7.5/1, Quickly on the up over hurdles for this yard last year, winning 3 times (also first past the post but disqualified). Finished lame when scoring at Cartmel (17.2f, good) back in August and he's one to consider from just 2 lb higher provided he's ready to roll. Competitive in all five runs once joining this yard last year; remains on a fair mark. |
|
|PU| (5)  (8.5/1 +15%)Caldwell |
8.5/1(+15%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Caldwell 8.5/1, Not seen over hurdles since October 2021 but did at least shape as if retaining all his ability after 9 months off when fifth at Nottingham (16f, heavy) a couple of months ago. Worth considering with that under his belt. First hurdle run since 2021 but was a useful juvenile; competitive Flat form last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Park Hill Dancer got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon last time and he now tries his luck in a handicap for the first time. However, he could come out second best to KEROSINE LIGHT, who kept on strongly to score by just under a length last time in a class 3 event over 2m1f at Cartmel and he can defy a 2lb rise with the step back up in distance in his favour. Fat Sam makes the most appeal of the remainder.
Cases can be made for most, but a chance is taken on MIDNIGHT GINGER, who hasn't been at her best since scoring at Newbury on New Year's Eve but the handicapper has reacted accordingly. Kerosine Light was prolific last year and Donald McCain's charge rates as a serious player provided he's fully tuned up, while Caldwell and Park Hill Dancer can fight out third spot.
Michael Scudamore's CALDWELL is interesting on his belated return to hurdling. Last summer's Flat profile was very solid.

8.5/1(+39%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Baby Jane 8.5/1, Made the frame in a couple of handicaps in 2021/22 and shaped as if retaining her ability in both starts since returning from 15-month absence recently. 4 lb out of the handicap but not discounted. | |
2nd (2)  (10/1 -150%)Tzunami |
10/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tzunami 10/1, Offered more over hurdles in recent starts, latest when creditable third of 11 in novice at Fontwell (21.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Feasibly treated, on handicap debut, and is one for the shortlist. | |
3rd (7)  (2.5/1 +38%)He Is A Cracker |
2.5/1(+38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) He Is A Cracker 2.5/1, Back from 15 months off when narrow second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft, 14/1) 27 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and will be a big player if able to reproduce that form. | |
4th (4)  (3/1 +25%)Hilltown |
3/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hilltown 3/1, Fortunate winner at Plumpton (25f, soft) last month but not disgraced when fourth of 10 in Warwick follow-up bid and ought to be in the mix again. | |
5th (5)  (40/1 -60%)Dynali |
40/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dynali 40/1, Nicely treated on his best form but well held for new connections on Flat and over hurdles in recent months. | |
6th (9)  (16/1 +52%)Telefina |
16/1(+52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Telefina 16/1, Still looking for first success and has plenty to prove after failing to complete the last twice. 4 lb out of the handicap. | |
|U| (8)  (3/1 -20%)Elfride |
3/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Elfride 3/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 22 days ago, driven clear. Remains feasibly treated and holds solid claims. 1 lb out of the weights. | |
|PU| (3)  (18/1 -50%)Hey Mister Dj |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hey Mister Dj 18/1, Poor form in bumper/completed starts over hurdles, including on handicap bow here earlier this month. | |
|PU| (1)  (33/1 -32%)Another Brown Bear |
33/1(-32%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Another Brown Bear 33/1, Fair form when second of 6 in introductory hurdle at Ludlow in November 2021, but disappointing otherwise under Rules (including over fences) and well beaten both starts for this yard. Had wind operation. | |
|PU| (6)  (33/1 +18%)Out For The Count |
33/1(+18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Out For The Count 33/1, Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton and yet to make an impact for current yard. Cheekpieces applied for first time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ELFRIDE powered clear of his rivals to record a comfortable success over C&D 22 days ago and, raised just 5lb in the handicap, Richard Phillips' mare might be the answer once again. He Is A Cracker almost defied a 448-day absence when narrowly denied at Warwick earlier this month and he must hold every chance if able to back that effort up, while it would be no surprise were Tzunami to make waves now pitched into handicap company.
Preference is for TZUNAMI, who has acquitted himself well at Fontwell the last twice and should appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut. He Is A Cracker and Elfride look the likeliest dangers.
Elfride is respected but HE IS A CRACKER ran a big race in defeat at Warwick at the start of this month and might be the answer.

1.75/1(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Galata Bridge 1.75/1, Emphatic winner at Huntingdon last May and shaped encouragingly on his return from a winter break when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Looks set for another productive summer. Only 3l away at Ludlow when entitled to need the run and should enjoy this quicker ground. |

2nd (5)  (9/1 -38%)Cabrakan |
9/1(-38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cabrakan 9/1, Won on second hurdles start at Newcastle in November before taking advantage of a lenient opening handicap mark at Hereford in February, Underwhelming there on subsequent outing, though, and ran no sort of race on Flat last time, so has bit to prove on hurdles return. Not too badly handicapped if returning to the form of his Hereford success in February. |
|
3rd (4)  (1.38/1 +37%)Sarsons Risk |
1.38/1(+37%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sarsons Risk 1.38/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Ian Williams made an impressive hurdling bow for his new yard at Doncaster. In contention when falling 3 out in the Adonis but was out of his depth in a Grade 1 at Aintree on last hurdles outing. Since finished down the field on the Flat but opening mark looks workable. Impressed on hurdling debut and highly tried afterwards; this mark might be okay. |
|
4th (2)  (11/1 -175%)Eagle's Realm |
11/1(-175%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eagle's Realm 11/1, Dual winner at Stratford last summer before having his winning run ended in better company at Market Rasen. MId-field on Flat both starts since, albeit needing stronger gallop last time, and others make slightly more appeal. Only sixth at Market Rasen on final hurdle run and looks on a tough mark now. |
|
|PU| (3)  (7/1 +0%)Spirit Of Regulus |
7/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spirit Of Regulus 7/1, Winner at Sedgefield on hurdles debut in October and ran at least as well in defeat when second in 4-runner novice at Doncaster in February. Looked better for run after a wind-op at Bangor last time and now has tongue strap/cheekpieces applied. Tongue-tie/cheekpieces are now fitted and they need to bring something. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SARSONS RISK has faced a couple of stiff assignments on his last two starts, the latest of which came in a Grade 1 at Aintree, but he could regain the winning thread in this less-taxing affair. Eagle's Realm enters calculations following a recent spin on the Flat, along with Galata Bridge, who should take a step forward from his recent Ludlow reappearance.
GALATA BRIDGE made a wholly encouraging return to action at Ludlow last time and, with his yard still going well, is fancied to step forward with that recent run under his belt. Sarsons Risk was impressive on his hurdles debut and he could prove ahead of his opening mark if getting back to that sort of form, whilst Spirit of Regulus is also respected on his second handicap start.
A tight handicap. SARSONS RISK will find this appreciably easier than his last two tasks over hurdles.

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.
