13:50 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/6 -21%) Largy Poet	0.166667 1/6(-21%)	(1) Largy Poet 1/6, Fetched £85,000 after finishing runner-up on sole point start last spring and bolted up on third run under Rules in an Exeter maiden hurdle (21.6f, heavy) in January. Impossible to oppose in this company. Made all to win by 12l at Exeter in January and has excellent chance to follow up here.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +8%) Simple Getaway	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Simple Getaway 6/1, Fetched £180,000 after winning an Irish point but proved very easy to back and looked as if in need of the run when down the field in an Aintree novice hurdle in October. Best watched for new yard. Impressed on Irish point debut in 2022 but well beaten on rules debut in October.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (16/1 -14%) Kingoftheswingerz	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Kingoftheswingerz 16/1, Modest in bumpers and showed aptitude for hurdling when third of 9 in a novice event at Wincanton. Not quite as good at Sandown last time and essentially has plenty to find with the favourite. Kept on for modest third over C&D on hurdle debut but needs Largy Poet to flop today.

13:50 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a straightforward opportunity for LARGY POET to complete a double over hurdles. Paul Nicholls' charge ran out a ready winner when making all at Exeter in January and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to burden him in this weaker affair. Kingoftheswingerz should appreciate a return to this C&D and looks best equipped to take the runner-up berth, with Simple Getaway having something to prove after a lacklustre Rules/hurdles debut at Aintree in October.

LARGY POET appeals as a useful prospect and sets a clear standard in this 3-runner event. Kingoftheswingerz will be of more interest when qualified for handicaps after this outing, whilst it's hard to know what to expect from Irish point winner Simple Getaway, who has switched yards since his underwhelming Rules debut.

This ought to be straightforward for LARGY POET, who sets a fairly useful form standard after his Exeter win and still has potential.

14:25 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (13/2 -8%) No Hubs No Hoobs	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(5) No Hubs No Hoobs 13/2, Posted career best, in first-time blinkers, when winning 9-runner handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 19 days ago, staying on well. 7 lb higher mark will make life tougher but he must enter calculations. Dual C&D winner, latterly on heavy ground last month; 7lb higher in stronger race today.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/4 +63%) Gingerbred	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(8) Gingerbred 9/4, Off the mark over fences when taking 8-runner handicap at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy, 5/2) 35 days ago, pushed out. Just 3 lb higher here and not taken lightly. Form of last month's heavy-ground win was recently boosted by the runner-up; shortlisted.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +30%) Inflexible	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(7) Inflexible 7/2, Showed much-improved form in this sphere when runner-up at Hereford (25,2f) in January and backed that up with good third of 9 in Market Rasen handicap (23.9f, soft) 30 days ago. Likely to go well again. 0-5 over fences but has performed well on both outings this year and must be considered.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +13%) Windance	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Windance 7/2, Won back-to-back handicaps last term and would have landed the hat-trick (back from 12 months off) but for unseating rider at last in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 10 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds strong claims bidding to land this for the second year running. Won this in 2023 and was unluckly not to score on last month's return; 5lb well in here.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 -100%) Regal Blue	5 5/1(-100%)	(1) Regal Blue 5/1, Didn't kick on as expected over hurdles but found improvement since switched to the larger obstacles, scoring at fourth time of asking in Haydock handicap (19.9f, heavy) last month. 4 lb higher now but may have more to offer yet. Has mixed record this season but came good over fences with clearcut win last month.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (12/1 -71%) Haut Folin	12 12/1(-71%)	(6) Haut Folin 12/1, Forged clear to land a gamble at Ffos Las on return and placed all 3 subsequent starts, most recently finishing a solid third off this mark at Fontwell (26f), despite some shoddy jumping. Warrants respect. Won in good style on seasonal debut and placed on all three starts since; in the mix again.

14:25 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow

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

WINDANCE seemed set to complete a hat-trick on his return, only to unseat his rider at the last at Plumpton. The nine-year-old is effectively 5lb well-in and compensation could await if proving none the worse on this quick turnaround. Regal Blue found the drop back to 2m4f at Haydock to his liking when opening his account over the larger obstacles. He has yet to convince with his stamina beyond three miles, though, so a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of recent C&D scorer No Hubs No Hoobs.

A late mishap prevented WINDANCE making a successful return at Plumpton last month but he is able to race off the same mark and can get back on the scoreboard in the race he won last year. Gingerbred and No Hubs No Hoobs are feared most in what looks a competitive affair.

Last year's winner WINDANCE was unlucky at Plumpton last week and is 5lb well in as he bids for quick compensation.

14:55 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -200%) Emily's Choice	4.5 9/2(-200%)	(1) Emily's Choice 9/2, Successful on last of 7 runs in Irish points and made the ideal start under Rules when landing a 9-runner 17f novice hurdle at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement and boasts strong claims. Made all on last month's rules debut at Newcastle and has obvious scope for progress.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 +39%) Miss Hunky Dory	20 20/1(+39%)	(5) Miss Hunky Dory 20/1, Beaten a fair way when third on debut in a bumper at Exeter. That effort was not completely devoid of promise but down the field on hurdling debut at Lingfield and looks more of a long-term prospect. Placed on bumper debut in January but made low-key hurdling debut last month.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 -21%) Mavis Pike	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(4) Mavis Pike 10/3, Fair form shown in bumpers and, back from 11 months off, was a fading fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 37 days ago. Should strip fitter. Made quite promising hurdle debut on heavy ground in January; should progress; considered.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +52%) Chase Park	16 16/1(+52%)	(3) Chase Park 16/1, Wasn't disgraced when fourth back from 18 months off in a Huntingdon bumper but subsequent efforts (including over hurdles) have left much to be desired. Has shown a modicum of ability in bumpers/over hurdles but needs to improve.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/5 +36%) Twyford's Diamond	0.8 4/5(+36%)	(9) Twyford's Diamond 4/5, Showed little in a brace of bumpers but going the right way over hurdles, a good third in a novice at Market Rasen 16 days ago. Worth a chance to open her account in a weak race. Third behind two fairly useful mares at Market Rasen last month; leading contender here.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +70%) Northern Reel	20 20/1(+70%)	(7) Northern Reel 20/1, £38,000 buy after winning an Irish point but little to get excited about under Rules. Irish point winner in 2022 but pulled up when 100-1 for hurdling debut in January.
7th	10 7th (10) (200/1 -100%) My Mate Polly	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) My Mate Polly 200/1, No promise in bumpers and a juvenile hurdle. Hard to make any sort of case for. Tailed off in two bumpers in November and also struggled on recent hurdling debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (125/1 -150%) Nan Brady	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Nan Brady 125/1, Pulled up only start in Irish points and no encouragement as yet under Rules. Unable to land a significant blow on her first two hurdling starts.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (125/1 -25%) Bresilliantly So	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Bresilliantly So 125/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, soft, 200/1) on NH debut 108 days ago, losing touch fifth. Doesn't make any appeal. Always behind when 200-1 for debut at Exeter (2m2f) in November.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (150/1 -355%) Too Shy Shy	150 150/1(-355%)	(8) Too Shy Shy 150/1, Modest on Flat, stays 1½m, ran poorly when last seen in 2022. Has left John Flint and others make more appeal on this hurdling debut. Low-grade Flat winner last summer but makes only limited appeal on stable/hurdle debut.

14:55 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner Emily's Choice made the perfect start to her Rules career when leading all the way at Newcastle and she likely has more to offer. She does have a 7lb penalty to shoulder, which may leave her vulnerable to TWYFORD'S DIAMOND. Representing the red-hot Ben Pauling yard, the five-year-old was far from disgraced when finding two higher-rated rivals too strong at Market Rasen and a similar performance may suffice. Mavis Pike completes the shortlist.

TWYFORD'S DIAMOND is steadily getting better over hurdles and a repeat of the form she showed when third at Market Rasen 16 days ago could be enough to see her open her account at the likely expense of Emily's Choice, who is penalised for her Newcastle win three weeks ago. Mavis Pike is another one to consider.

Preference is for TWYFORD'S DIAMOND, who was a very respectable third in a much stronger race than this at Market Rasen last month.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (13/8 +41%) Madaket	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(5) Madaket 13/8, Left previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) on return in October. Hasn't matched that form in 3 subsequent outings but put in some good late work over 21f at Kempton last time and should be suited by a return to 3m. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Shaped as though worth another crack at 3m when keeping-on second over 2m5f last month.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +57%) Moonlight Artist	3 3/1(+57%)	(7) Moonlight Artist 3/1, Got off the mark at Exeter (23f, soft) in November and backed it up with a solid third at Aintree (25f, heavy) in December. Below form on a sounder surface at Hereford last time but could bounce back with conditions in his favour. Below best after jumping left last time but has claims if judged on earlier form.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 -57%) Sporty Jim	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(2) Sporty Jim 11/2, Low-mileage 7-y-o who bounced back to form when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, soft) 30 days ago. Needs considering in first-time cheekpieces. Back on track when second at Market Rasen last month; cheekpieces added here.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +25%) Faded Fantasy	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Faded Fantasy 9/1, Southwell maiden winner who ran better than for a while in a first-time tongue strap when third of 7 in a handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Has stamina to prove today but returned from break with encouraging 2m3f run last month.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -167%) Burrows Park	16 16/1(-167%)	(4) Burrows Park 16/1, Proving inconsistent over hurdles this season and unseated his rider early back chasing at Hereford 11 days ago. Quirky customer who often races lazily; conditions will suit but he's tricky to predict.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5/1 +17%) Rare Clouds	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Rare Clouds 5/1, Confirmed recent promise with success in 7-runner handicap here (21.4f, heavy) in January. Ran poorly when pulled up at Ascot last time but he's perhaps worth another chance back down in class. Won in good style here in January but pulled up since and remains on fairly tough mark.

15:30 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Despite looking outpaced over 2m5f at Kempton last month, MADAKET kept on well into second. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time now and with the step back up to 3m likely to aid his chance, he gets the nod. Sporty Jim split a pair of in-form rivals at Market Rasen so he ought to hold every chance from just 2lb higher, while Burrows Park appeals most of the remainder.

The way MADAKET finished over 21f at Kempton last month strongly suggests this step back up in trip is well worth exploring and he gets the vote in a competitive handicap now tried in cheekpieces. Sporty Jim could be the danger.

If judged on the form of his heavy-ground third at Aintree two starts ago, MOONLIGHT ARTIST has strong claims here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (11/8 +39%) Robber's Bridge	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(12) Robber's Bridge 11/8, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs but produced his best effort to date when runner-up in handicap hurdle at Leicester (2m, heavy) in January. That form is proving strong and he could be ready to open his account this time around. Collared close home at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January; up 2lb; acts here; player..
2	1 2nd (1) (33/1 -106%) Hawk Stone	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Hawk Stone 33/1, Showed more than in bumpers when sixth of 18 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on his hurdles bow in December. However, he's been well beaten both starts since, so improvement required as he makes his handicap debut. Missed a race last week after he scoped wrong; initial mark looks stiff based on his form..
3	8 3rd (8) (22/1 -120%) Dundory	22 22/1(-120%)	(8) Dundory 22/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but has made little impact in 3 starts in maiden hurdles this winter. He's worth a market check, though, given his ability on the level as he makes his handicap debut in this sphere. May be able to show more now entering handicaps from a workable mark; market check..
4	11 4th (11) (8/1 -33%) Guivinec	8 8/1(-33%)	(11) Guivinec 8/1, Irish point winner but hasn't offered much in a bumper and novice hurdles so far, making no impression when fifth of 11 at Taunton (19f, good to soft) on his latest outing. However, no surprise to see him fare better now handicapping. Point winner; initial mark workable and any market confidence would pique interest..
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -203%) Royal Regard	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Royal Regard 100/1, Showed ability early in his career but his form has gone the wrong way, absent over 2 years prior to the current season and offering little in 2 starts for his current yard. Best watched. 0-8 across both codes; we need to see more before recommending him..
6th	13 6th (13) (66/1 -230%) Canal Rocks	66 66/1(-230%)	(13) Canal Rocks 66/1, One-time fairly useful handicapper on Flat but well below that level over hurdles, though did capitalise on his falling mark when successful at Worcester in June 2022. However, has finished down the field both starts since his return from 16 months off. Tongue strap back on. Hasn't shown much in one start in either code since returning from a lengthy absence..
4	4 \|F\| (4) (7/1 +65%) Universal Secret	7 7/1(+65%)	(4) Universal Secret 7/1, Dual C&D winner last season but yet to fire in the current campaign, pulled up in handicap here (19.8f, soft) last month. Edging back down in the weights as a result, but he needs to get back on track returned to this shorter trip. Won twice over C&D last year; nowhere near that level since; well treated if reviving..
6	6 \|U\| (6) (5/1 +0%) Daany	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Daany 5/1, Finally off the mark at this C&D (heavy) in January and again ran well when second back here 6 days later. Below form at Ffos Las next time, but creditable effort back on the Flat when mid-field at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago. Shortlisted returned to this venue. Below par both in this code and on AW on his last two starts; player if bouncing back..
9	9 \|U\| (9) (12/1 +40%) Mr Zee	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Mr Zee 12/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. However, he's finished well held all 3 starts over hurdles, never a threat when sixth of 17 in maiden at this C&D (soft) last time. Needs to take a step forward switched to a handicap. Best effort over hurdles was his most recent but needs improvement to defy this mark..
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 -129%) Orange Diamond	8 8/1(-129%)	(2) Orange Diamond 8/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler in France but has failed to complete over fences all 5 starts for current yard. However, in first-time cheekpieces he looked sure to be involved in the finish when falling 2 out at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Interesting back hurdling. Fell two out in a chase latest; up 5lb for this return to hurdles; more needed..
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 -60%) Miss Fedora	12 12/1(-60%)	(5) Miss Fedora 12/1, Opened her account at Fontwell (19.2f) in November but followed that with a lesser effort here (19.8f) the following month. Soon bounced back when fourth of 9 returned to Fontwell (21.8f) in January, though didn't quite see out the longer trip. Not discounted. Travelled strongly before weakening into fourth latest (career best); each-way player..

16:05 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

ORANGE DIAMOND has failed to complete on each of his five starts over the larger obstacles but the six-year-old, a dual hurdles winner on testing ground when trained in France, could be revitalised by the switch to timber. Robber's Bridge continues to knock on the door and he is unlikely to be far away, while Mr Zee is worth a second look ahead of this handicap bow.

ROBBER'S BRIDGE found some improvement when runner-up at Leicester on his latest outing, form which has worked out well, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Orange Diamond was in the process of running well over fences when departing last time, so he could be the main danger reverted to hurdling, ahead of C&D winner Daany.

The strongest candidate on recent form is the maiden ROBBER'S BRIDGE. He is a tad vulnerable but deserves to pick up a race like this.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +7%) Lightonthewing	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) Lightonthewing 7/1, Doubled his tally over fences with a likeable front-running display at Fontwell a year ago. Well held all 3 starts this season, however. Yet to fully convince over further than 2m5f and has taken a few backward steps of late..
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 -50%) West Orchard	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) West Orchard 15/2, Jumped well when successful at Plumpton in November and back on track last 2 starts. Hard to rely on but can't be dismissed back up in trip in a thin race. Below par since winning, despite being placed in his last two; still a probable player..
3	2 3rd (2) (9/4 +0%) William Ewart	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(2) William Ewart 9/4, Form patchy since his convincing victory over hurdles at Bangor (23f, soft) but justified support when scoring for the first time over fences at Southwell 18 days ago. Capable of going well again. Broke chase duck at the fourth attempt latest; up 4lb; might have more to offer.
4	1 4th (1) (9/4 -20%) Camulus	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(1) Camulus 9/4, Modest performer but showed some improvement starting out for this yard when second of 5 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, heavy) 14 days ago after a year off and entitled to come on for that. Can go one better. Second of five in a Lingfield chase (2m7f, heavy) recently; up 2lb but looks a player..
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +40%) Seymour Promise	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Seymour Promise 9/2, Long-standing maiden who has fallen a long way in the weights this season and ran best race for some time when second over C&D in January. Merely underlined inconsistency at Hereford since, however. Blinkers back on. Not written off based on his C&D second (heavy) in January but failed to complete latest..
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -80%) Paseo	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Paseo 18/1, Scored at Ludlow on last season's return but very little to shout about since and Deutsch prefers Camulus. Hasn't given us much to recommend him on since last winning at Ludlow 16 months ago..

16:40 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to WILLIAM EWART, who was on target in a similar event at Southwell last month and a subsequent 4lb rise might underestimate Christian Williams' seven-year-old. His former stable companion Camulus posted a decent second at Lingfield on his first appearance for the Venetia Williams team and he features prominently in calculations, along with West Orchard, who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Plumpton in November.

CAMULUS made a positive start for this yard after a year off when runner-up at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. William Ewart justified support at Southwell last time and is the obvious threat.

Southwell winner WILLIAM EWART (nap) is taken to follow up here, with the extra furlong looking positive.

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.
