13:55 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

This ought to be a penalty kick for WENDIGO, who finished a highly creditable second to The New Lion in the Challow at Newbury in December. Jamie Snowden's charge sets a lofty standard to aim at and it is difficult to see past him. That said, South Omo Zone made an impressive hurdling debut at Wincanton last month and should not be underestimated with improvement on the cards. Klapton Boy chased home dual hurdles winner Rubber Ball in a point-to-point in April before occupying the same position on his jumping bow. He appeals most of the remainder.

Jamie Snowden's WENDIGO is impossible to oppose on the back of his fine second to The New Lion in Newbury's Challow Hurdle last time out so gets a confident vote. South Omo Zone made a winning start for Olly Murphy at Wincanton and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of the unexposed Strolling Along, who can build on his hurdling debut ninth at Taunton.

Grade 1 Challow Hurdle runner-up WENDIGO can add to his hurdle win at Ludlow in November. South Omo Zone is the danger.

Sound And Fury

6.5
13/2(-30%)
(1) Sound And Fury 13/2, Lightly-raced winning pointer/hurdler, who looked rather fortunate when opening his chase account at Uttoxeter in December (looked booked for second when left in front at the last). Only fifth in an 8-runner Newbury handicap next time and improvement needed now equipped with first-time blinkers.
Won at Uttoxeter on second chase start and fair 5th since; could still have more to offer.

(5) Latenightrumble 9/4, Four-time point winner who surpassed his hurdles form when making a winning handicap chase debut over this C&D in December. Ultimately done for finishing speed in a steadily-run race at Leicester (22.7f, soft) over Christmas but it was a solid effort nonetheless and he remains open to improvement.
Won over C&D before good second at Leicester and he's firmly in calculations.

(8) Jar Du Desert 5/1, Fairly useful ex-French 17f chase winner. Produced much his best effort to date on these shores when runner-up over C&D off this mark in November but failed to repeat that at Aintree since and he looks vulnerable.
Back to form when second here in November but only fifth at Aintree since.

Moon Hunter

14/1(-87%)
(3) Moon Hunter 14/1, Winning pointer who was 2-5 over hurdles and didn't shape at all badly on chase debut at Cheltenham last season. However, he has looked rather laboured since, in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when last of 3 in handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good) on most recent start in November.
Ran in snatches at Market Rasen but this return to a left-handed track may help.

(6) Magical Escape 17/2, Resumed after a wind op with a promising second of 5 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good) in October. Below par both subsequent starts, though, and hopes here pinned on the new headgear (first-time visor replaces usual cheekpieces) helping him to get back on track.
Underwhelming the last twice but the visor may help him tap back into chase debut promise.

(9) Rostello 20/1, Not straightforward but put it all together under a good ride when winning 4-runner Southwell handicap last spring. Left previous efforts for this yard behind when going close at Catterick last time but it remains to be seen if he'll again rise to the occasion.
May well have won at Catterick three weeks ago with a better jump at the final fence.

85/40(+29%)
(7) Montregard 85/40, Dual hurdles winner who left chase debut effort well behind when cosily landing a 3-runner affair at Market Rasen (3m, good) in November. Merely plugged on when a safely-held third at Taunton next time but it's still early days for him over fences and he has to enter calculations.
Won at Market Rasen on second chase start and third in strong race at Taunton since.

(2) Cap Du Nord 100/1, Successful twice in 2024, bagging handicaps at Plumpton and Perth (latter success gained off a mark 2 lb higher than his current one) but he has struggled in 4 appearances since returning from a break in October.
2lb lower than when winning at Perth last July but has struggled on his five starts since.

14:30 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A winner over C&D before finding one too strong when dropped in trip at Leicester in December, LATENIGHTRUMBLE still has few miles on the clock and looks set to resume his progress back over a more suitable distance. Rostello went agonisingly close at Catterick three weeks ago and is of definite interest from 1lb higher, while Montregard, who won a three-runner contest at Market Rasen before finishing third at Taunton in November, might be best placed to chase the pair home.

LATENIGHTRUMBLE outpointed a progressive sort when getting off the mark over C&D on his penultimate start, and then followed home another upwardly mobile type at Leicester where the lack of a strong end-to-end gallop counted against him. The 8-y-o should have more to offer in this sphere and earns the vote ahead of Montregard and Champagnesuperover.

The 6yo MONTREGARD (nap) was third in a very hot little race at Taunton last time and can regain the winning thread.

1/9(+44%)
(1) Live Conti 1/9, Winner of 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (2¼m, soft) on debut in October. a race that has already thrown up a handful of subsequent winners. Looks a potentially very useful recruit for his powerful connections and should win this before going on to better things (holds Triumph Hurdle entry).
Triumph entry whose French form reads well and should be in a different league to these.

15:05 Wetherby Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Triumph entry LIVE CONTI made a winning debut at Auteuil in October and should Dan Skelton's charge have any hope of turning up there, he will need to be winning this impressively to fuel those aspirations. Scotland The Brave won on the Flat recently and is perhaps one of the more likely threats back jumping, although Lautrec De Cougny, who was prominent in the betting ahead of his hurdling debut at Bangor in November, should not be written off in a first-time tongue tie.

It will be disappointing should LIVE CONTI fail to deliver on his debut for the Dan Skelton yard. Indeed, the race he won in France during the autumn looked pretty strong and this will likely serve as a stepping-stone on the path to bigger and better things. Recent Flat scorer Scotland The Brave is preferred to Remarkable Flight for forecast purposes.

Dan Skelton's LIVE CONTI needs to be winning this easily if he's to take up his Triumph engagement. His French form looks good.

15:40 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow

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

A respectable second when going from the front over this distance at Fontwell last time out, GETAWAY DRUMLEE sets the standard on form and he can strike for a third career success at a track that should suit. Kilta did well when coming from off the pace to finish third at Haydock in December and must enter calculations, along with Stringtoyourbow, who has scored on two of his last three starts.

Ben Pauling's GETAWAY DRUMLEE signalled his turn is near when runner-up at Fontwell last time and can go one better now off the same mark. The consistent Kilta is next on the list, with Theformismighty appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

This looks open. Lucy Wadham is enjoying a solid season and her HURRICANE BAY has the potential to be well handicapped.

16:13 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A progressive sort at the end of last season, IL VA DE SOI's recent effort when second at Sandown was highly encouraging. The return of 3lb claimer Alice Steven to the saddle is a big plus, having won him twice before, and the seven-year-old may have enough to see off Haydock winner Bertie's Ballet and American Sniper, who was a respectable third over further here in December. Others to note include Hardy Du Seuil, Herbiers and Range.

IL VA DE SOI ended 2023/24 on the up and caught the eye with how fluently he travelled at Sandown on his second run back this season, only beaten by a progressive type, so he is taken to resume winning ways. He can see off the challenge of Hardy du Seuil, who is respected back down in grade, with Bertie's Ballet completing the shortlist.

A return to hurdles has been forced upon RANGE after he fell in two of his four chases and that move could be a blessing.

Went down by a narrow margin last time and has to be feared off just 3lb higher.

(5) Silverbridge 15/2, Fair form on Flat for John Joseph Murphy in Ireland. Initial efforts in this sphere were low key but upped his game when third on handicap debut at Bangor in April. Not so good both starts since and needs to get back on track after an 8-month absence.
Below par on good ground the last twice but probably needs it softer; respected.

16:48 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to look past PRINCE NINO, who was narrowly denied over further at Newcastle last time out, for which he has been raised 3lb. That mark is still 10lb lower than his last success, and it may be the relatively unexposed Silverbridge that gives him the most to think about for in-form connections. A winner here over two years ago, Royal Rhythm has shown very little since, but cannot be ruled out with that course form to his name.

ROYAL RHYTHM has unquestionably been disappointing so far this season, but he's been given a major chance by the handicapper as a result and is taken to revive. Prince Nino can give another good account, while Farmer Jimmy could prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip.

Despite lacking a recent run, SILVERBRIDGE looks worth chancing back on softer ground as most of these have questions to answer.

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.
