Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 6/1 (1) SPOTTY DOG seems to be the most consistent and reliable horse, having won twice and shown improvement in recent races. 5/1 (4) FURKASH and 6/1 (5) COBRA COMMANDER also have good recent form and are likely to be in the mix. Therefore, the predicted order of finish could be: 1. 6/1 (1) SPOTTY DOG 2. 5/1 (4) FURKASH 3. 6/1 (5) COBRA COMMANDER

FURKASH is now rated 1lb lower following a distant third over 2m7f at Taunton last month. He kept on late on that occasion, so he may appreciate a stiffer stamina test and the fact Harry Kimber knocks an addition 3lb off the eight-year-old's back only enhances his claims. Eurkash was headed approaching the last over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon most recently and can go well again, while Natty Night is another to bear in mind.

SPOTTY DOG is only 3 lb above his last winning mark and acquitted himself well over C&D last month. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking opener. Furkash and Dawn Raider are feared most.

The most appealing option is EURKASH, who ran well when third at Huntingdon last month despite tending to hang left.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, it seems that 2/1 (2) GLORIOUS FUN and 1.88/1 (5) SUPREMELY WEST have the strongest claims. Therefore, they are most likely to finish in the top three. As for the third spot, 14/1 (8) ILARY DE L'ECU has each-way claims and may be a good contender. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is as follows: 1. 2/1 (2) GLORIOUS FUN 2. 1.88/1 (5) SUPREMELY WEST 3. 14/1 (8) ILARY DE L'ECU

GLORIOUS FUN made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over 2m3f at this track last month. He cannot be taken lightly for powerful connections and is fancied to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Supremely West is unbeaten under Rules and must enter calculations on his hurdling bow, along with Pop Mistress, even though she hasn't been seen since June 2021.

There should be plenty more to come from GLORIOUS FUN, who made a very encouraging start in this sphere at this course last month. He is preferred to hurdling debutants Supremely West and Pop Mistress, both of whom boast unbeaten records in bumpers.

The pick is SUPREMELY WEST, who looked a good prospect when ending last season with two bumper wins for his new stable.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as many of the horses have shown only modest or underwhelming form in their previous races. However, 0.73/1 (3) SOLDIEROFTHESTORM and 1.88/1 (7) DESIGNER DESTINY seem to be the most promising based on their previous performances and potential for improvement. Therefore, they may have a higher chance of finishing in the top three. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and the outcome can be influenced by many factors such as weather conditions, jockey performance, and race tactics.

Placed on both career starts in bumpers, SOLDIEROFTHESTORM looks the one to side with on his hurdling bow in a fairly weak contest. The gelded son of Soldier Of Fortune finished two and a quarter lengths behind the winner at Hereford last month and rates a key contender with that run in mind. Designer Destiny arrives in this following a long layoff but seems the biggest threat, while Jet Of Dreams completes the shortlist.

A likely match between SOLDIEROFTHESTORM and Designer Destiny. The former has shown plenty in a brace of bumpers 5 months apart and has the scope to do well over jumps, so he's narrowly preferred to the latter, who has a long absence to overcome.

Jonjo O'Neill's SOLDIEROFTHESTORM has shown fairly useful form when placed in bumpers and looks the way to go on his hurdling debut
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Predictions: 1st - 2.25/1 (1) WILLIAM OF YORK 2nd - 4.5/1 (5) KANKIN 3rd - 6.5/1 (2) FORGET THE WAY 2.25/1 (1) WILLIAM OF YORK has been performing well in his recent races and is open to more progress. 4.5/1 (5) KANKIN has been placing in his recent hurdle runs and is likely to benefit from a stronger pace in this handicap debut. 6.5/1 (2) FORGET THE WAY has had wind surgery and the step up in trip looks like a good move for him to potentially improve.

WILLIAM OF YORK has been in terrific form of late and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards as he looks to overcome a 5lb rise for a taking win at Huntingdon last month. Benefact could be off a decent mark on his handicap debut, while Forget The Way is another who could improve for the step up in trip.

The vote goes to KANKIN, who did well under the circumstances when third in a C&D maiden recently and he can be expected to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap for the first time. The hat-trick seeking William of York and Forget The Way, who shapes as though this stiffer test will be in his favour, rate the main dangers. Merveillo would be threat if able to get back on track but it's a significant 'if'.

Top of the list is Dan Skelton's WILLIAM OF YORK, who has come good with front-running wins in the last two of his three handicaps.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 0.83/1 (1) QUID PRO QUO and 2.5/1 (3) YOUNG BUSTER seem to have the strongest chance of doing well in the race. Therefore, it is predicted that they will finish in the top two positions. For the third position, 4.5/1 (2) BLUE STELLO seems to have potential as a lightly-raced winning hurdler with experience in Irish point-to-points, so it is predicted that he will finish in third place.

QUID PRO QUO put it together when scoring at the fourth attempt over fences at Southwell and there should be plenty more to come from Dan Skelton's charge in this winnable contest. A winner here over hurdles, Blue Stello has proved difficult to get to the track but he has ability and must be considered, along with chase debutant Young Buster.

QUID PRO QUO took a big step forward when opening his chasing account at Southwell and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Fergal O'Brien's Young Buster could emerge as the chief threat to Dan Skelton's 7-y-o ahead of fellow chasing debutant Blue Stello.

This can go to QUID PRO QUO, who really got his act together over fences when scoring in smooth style at Southwell 15 days ago.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

1st - 1.63/1 (5) WISEGUY, 2nd - 7.5/1 (4) RESTITUTION, 3rd - 8/1 (8) BERTIE BLUE

Now that the penny has dropped for BERTIE BLUE after an impressive win at Southwell last month, he must hold every chance of following up off an 8lb higher mark. The six-year-old still receives weight from the rest of his rivals, which could prove key in his bid to see off the likes of Red Dirt Road and Wiseguy, who returns from a 182-day absence. I Spy A Diva and Restitution are entitled to be thereabouts too.

The unexposed WISEGUY put in a good shift when runner-up back from 11 months off at Cheltenham in November and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to go one better here. Restitution's latest effort at Wincanton represented a step back in the right direction and he could be the one for the forecast. Abuffalosoldier and Bertie Blue are others to consider.

This competitive handicap can go to WISEGUY, who was an honourable second on his handicap debut at Cheltenham in the autumn.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to make a confident prediction about which horse will win. However, the following horses are likely contenders for the top three positions: 1st: 5/1 (8) IMPERIAL B G 2nd: 3/1 (2) GRILLON DE MONTY 3rd: 8/1 (12) SADLER'S BAY

GRILLON DE MONTY was an easy victor in this grade latest and has been raised 6lb in the weights for that success. That was only his third start over hurdles for the Dan Skelton yard, which suggests he could have more to offer and he is fancied to double up. The main threat looks to be Imperial B G, who was only beaten a length and a half last time into second at Haydock. Enjoy Your Life is another to note.

An open handicap but SADLER'S BAY ran well on his first try at this trip at Carlisle in March and promised a bit more still, with late errors holding him back. Therefore, his performance can be marked up and with a good-value conditional now taking over in the saddle, he's fancied to confirm the promise of that run. Imperial B G still looked a bit raw when runner-up at Haydock and can improve again when the penny drops, with last-time-out scorer Grillon de Monty completing the shortlist.

3m point winner LUNAR CONTACT displayed staying potential when keeping on for third over 2m3f on last month's handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: Easy winner of sole start between the flags last spring and he looked a good prospect when readily landing bumper at Huntingdon 33 days ago. 2nd: 28/1 (6) ULTRA BEAT, Third to an impressive winner here in March and that gives him strong form claims. 3rd: 5/1 (10) KINTAIL, Blue Bresil gelding who made a promising start when second of 5 in bumper (85/40) at Wincanton 27 days ago. Firmly in the picture with better to come.

Rock House won on his debut under Rules at Huntingdon and now has to carry a 7lb penalty, which could leave the door open for IDEAL DES BORDES. The son of Coastal Path won a point-to-point in Ireland and could be well up to the task on his Rules debut under Nico de Boinville. Saint Jaguen is of interest as he sports a first-time tongue-tie and returns to action after undergoing a wind operation.

ROCK HOUSE looked a good prospect when impressively landing a Huntingdon bumper last month and is taken to successfully concede weight all round. Nicky Henderson's Irish point winner Ideal des Bordes and promising Wincanton second Kintail both command plenty of respect though. Saint Jaguen and I'd Go Maniac are two more to consider in an interesting bumper.

Despite Kintail shaping with promise on his debut Nico De Boinville has jumped ship to stablemate IDEAL DES BORDES.
