1	10 1st (10) (5/1 +38%) Blackjack Magic		5 5/1(+38%)																															(10) Blackjack Magic 5/1, Took very well to chasing for the Anthony Honeyball yard last term, winning small-field handicaps in the mud at Exeter and Uttoxeter. It's a slight concern that his jumping didn't stand up to the rigours of a more competitive race in between but he should have more improvement in him this season. Both chase wins came in small fields but jumps well and unexposed as a stayer.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +10%) Threeunderthrufive		3 3/1(+10%)																															(4) Threeunderthrufive 3/1, Dual Grade 2 winner as a novice chaser. Failed to score late season but ended the campaign with good fourth in Scottish Grand National at Ayr and he's much respected off an unchanged mark on his reappearance (has had wind surgery). Top yard seeking a fifth win in this since 2017. 4th in the Scottish National; still capable of better following wind surgery.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -25%) Frodon		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Frodon 5/1, Grand servant who defied top weight on last year's reappearance. Plenty of smart efforts in defeat later in the season and if he gets in a good rhythm at the head of affairs he looks sure to make a bold bid to defend his crown. Has earned legendary status down the years; defied the very same mark 12 months ago.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +6%) Certainly Red		8 8/1(+6%)																															(7) Certainly Red 8/1, Likeable sort completed a hat-trick last season, scoring twice here either side of a victory at Sandown. Found life tougher from a higher mark when seventh in the bet365 Gold Cup on final outing but eased 2lb for that and his course record and capability when fresh affords him respect. Course form ticks a big box but this demands a career-best from him..
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -29%) The Big Breakaway		9 9/1(-29%)																															(3) The Big Breakaway 9/1, Back to his best when recording good seconds in a valuable handicap at Haydock and the Welsh National at Chepstow at the end of 2022. Pulled up in the Ultima at Cheltenham and fell early in the Grand National in the spring but he's capable of bouncing back after a break. Strong stayer who wouldn't want the ground to dry out; solid chance otherwise.
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 +36%) Forward Plan		14 14/1(+36%)																															(11) Forward Plan 14/1, Took well to fences last season, winning twice around 3m at Southwell and good second in Ayr novice handicap on final start. He is 7 lb wrong at the weights on reappearance, though, so a big career best will be needed. Probably progressive but being 7lb out of the weights is the last thing he needs.
7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 -25%) Gustavian		25 25/1(-25%)																															(9) Gustavian 25/1, Belatedly got off the mark as a chaser in a 3-runner contest at Exeter (3m) in February and in the process of running creditably when coming down 2 out at Uttoxeter 3 weeks later. Off since. Has competitive form off this mark but not in races this strong.
2	2 |PU| (2) (10/1 -43%) Sam Brown		10 10/1(-43%)																															(2) Sam Brown 10/1, Rejuvenated by first-time blinkers when looking the likely winner of a 3m handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April until falling 2 out (just over 2 lengths ahead at the time). The blinkers are left off on this first outing since. Smart staying chaser very capable of holding his own in a race of this nature.
6	6 |PU| (6) (14/1 -17%) Ashtown Lad		14 14/1(-17%)																															(6) Ashtown Lad 14/1, Took very well to the National fences when landing the Becher at Aintree last December. Placed over hurdles on next 2 starts but ended his campaign on a low note when pulled up in the Topham back at Aintree in April. Only 4lb higher than for last season's Becher Chase win; chance if fit enough.
5	5 |PU| (5) (20/1 +29%) Courtland		20 20/1(+29%)																															(5) Courtland 20/1, Like many from the yard he's thrived this summer, completing a hat-trick before an excellent second in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Resumed winning ways at Worcester (23f) in August but a further 10 lb rise found him out in the Old Roan at Aintree last month. Races over 3m+ for first time. Had a good year but this test of stamina on softish ground might be too much.
8	8 |PU| (8) (25/1 -39%) Ballygrifincottage		25 25/1(-39%)																															(8) Ballygrifincottage 25/1, Useful novice hurdler in 2021/22. Looked a smart recruit to chasing when winning at Haydock last November but pulled up in 2 subsequent starts last season. Remote last of 3 on Newton Abbot reappearance last month and has lot to prove all of a sudden. Has first-time cheekpieces added to tongue tie. Ran a laboured race back from wind surgery at Newton Abbot only three weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 1) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Last year's impressive winner Frodon is bound to have his supporters as he goes in search of a remarkable 20th career win, but he's 11 now and with the ground more testing than ideal, he may be worth taking on. Stablemate Threeunderthrufive looks a viable alternative after wind surgery, but preference is for Dan Skelton's ASHTOWN LAD. The nine-year-old has gone well fresh in the past and showed his class last season when winning the Becher Chase from just 4lb lower.

FRODON has been dropped to the same mark as when landing this 12 months ago. This 11-y-o still looked just about as good as ever in the spring and can make a winning start to a campaign for a remarkable seventh time in his illustrious career. Stablemate Threeunderthrufive was a good fourth in the Scottish Grand National when last seen and can provide the chief threat ahead of Blackjack Magic, who is capable of better again but needs to prove his jumping can cope with the demands of a good race.

Frodon and Threeunderthrufive have clear claims but SAM BROWN (nap) has a lot in his favour if he's on one of his good days.

1	1 1st (1) (1/2 +32%) Rubaud		0.5 1/2(+32%)																															(1) Rubaud 1/2, Building up a good record over hurdles, his speed again in evidence as he made all in 2m listed race at Kempton on return 3 weeks ago. The one to beat under a penalty. Very much the form pick provided he goes on the ground and settles without a hood.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 -38%) Hansard		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(3) Hansard 11/4, Impressive as he won his first 2 starts over hurdles for this yard last winter. No match for Rubaud in the Dovecote in February but big step forward when not beaten far in the Top Novices' at Aintree and clear chance on that form. Smart novice; strong traveller who should be suited by this test of speed around here.
3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 +58%) Glorious Zoff		28 28/1(+58%)																															(2) Glorious Zoff 28/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler. Usually gives his running but would be a surprising winner in this grade. There's nothing in his profile to suggest he can prevail on these unfavourable terms.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 +73%) Sacre Coeur		11 11/1(+73%)																															(5) Sacre Coeur 11/1, Well suited by the switch to front-running tactics as she won a couple of handicap chases this autumn. Plenty to find on these terms though and surely only playing for minor honours. Returns to hurdling with a lot on his plate at these weights.

15:00 Wincanton Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Paul Nicholls' Rubaud is likely to be all the rage after a winning reappearance but he still needs to prove himself on ground this testing and the concession of 6lb to one of his former victims, HANSARD, may just prove too much. Gary Moore's charge never fired when sent off favourite for their previous clash at Kempton in February but he proved that running to be all wrong when a close fourth in a Grade 1 event at Aintree in the spring. Sacre Coeur is the pick of the remainder.

With West Balboa seemingly destined for Aintree this is at the mercy of RUBAUD, who impressed when scoring at Kempton on his return and looks to have been well placed once again. Hansard ran a cracker in the Top Novices' Hurdle and is the obvious danger.

Rubaud is improving at a rate of knots but ground this soft wouldn't be his preferred surface and HANSARD should give him a race.

1	7 1st (7) (18/1 +10%) Good Look Charm		18 18/1(+10%)																															(7) Good Look Charm 18/1, Dual hurdles winner in early 2022 who showed similar form over fences last term despite being held back her jumping. Reverts to timber for her reappearance and she can't be discounted. 0-6 over fences last season; reverts to hurdling with a bit to prove.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +0%) Vicki Vale		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Vicki Vale 5/1, Taking scorer on hurdles debut in November and she resumed winning ways in 5-runner novice at Taunton (16.5f) 6 months ago. Since undergone breathing surgery. Goes uip in trip for her handicap bow and is firmly in the picture. 2-6 during first season over hurdles; ought to be very competitive on handicap debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (20/1 -67%) Space Voyage		20 20/1(-67%)																															(2) Space Voyage 20/1, Took very well to hurdling last term, completing a hat-trick of small-field novice events at Ludlow (21.2f). Ran poorly on her chasing debut at Worcester last month but has since had a breathing op and can bounce back reverted to this sphere. Promising novice hurdler last season; flopped on recent chase debut (breathing problem).
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 -50%) Lime Avenue		3 3/1(-50%)																															(4) Lime Avenue 3/1, Impressive bumper winner on debut at Chepstow and she bounced back in style to land C&D novice by 5 lengths from Great Snow final run. Goes into handicaps on the back of a wind op with more to come. Player. Dominated C&D novice in February; commands respect on handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 +27%) Plenty Of Time		8 8/1(+27%)																															(3) Plenty Of Time 8/1, Lightly-raced winning hurdler who made light off an 11-month absence for another new yard when landing 2m4f handicap chase here last month. Can't be discounted switched back to hurdles. Low-mileage 7yo; won here off 3lb lower on recent chase/stable debut; enters calculations.
6th	6 6th (6) (2/1 +58%) Great Snow		2 2/1(+58%)																															(6) Great Snow 2/1, Landed Ludlow maiden (3m) in February and recorded three good placed efforts after for Neil Mulholland, signing off with second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (21.9f). Much respected on her yard debut/return. Placed in Grade 2 handicap in March; makes stable debut after £100,000 sale.
1	1 |PU| (1) (5/1 +9%) Ilovethenightlife		5 5/1(+9%)																															(1) Ilovethenightlife 5/1, Scopey sort who raised her game switched to a handicap when winning Grade 2 at Newbury (20.5f) in March. Possbily feeling the effects of that when well held at Cheltenahm after and no surprise to see her bounce back on her return. Grade 2 handicap winner in March and could easily have more to offer this season.
8	8 |PU| (8) (40/1 -122%) Ostrava Du Berlais		40 40/1(-122%)																															(8) Ostrava Du Berlais 40/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France.

15:32 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A tricky puzzle to solve with plenty in with chances but the tentative nod goes in the direction of LOVETHENIGHTLIFE. Joe Tizzard's charge struggled to land a blow in Listed company on her most recent start at Cheltenham in April but she can get back to winning ways now eased in grade. After a decisive success over C&D last time, Lime Avenue can give the selection most to think about on her handicap bow, while Plenty Of Time is also worthy of a close look.

None of these can be ruled out but Paul Nicholls' LIME AVENUE has already shown she goes well ad this idiosyncratic track and with more to come on the back of wind surgery she can come out on top again. Vicki Vale is another to have undergone breathing surgery since her last success and next on the list, although a solid case can also be made for Ilovethenightlife, Space Voyage and Ostrava du Berlais in a fascinating contest.

Handicap debutante LIME AVENUE won a C&D novice with quite a bit left in the tank in February and gets the nod.

This looks a stronger contest but he's open to improvement and worth a chance to follow up. Beat a good horse here in April and not without hope of defying a penalty.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 -65%) Roman Roy		5.5 11/2(-65%)																															(9) Roman Roy 11/2, €120,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding.

Looks stable's first string on jockey bookings, so worthy of respect. Described as a "big, scopey chasing sort" by his trainer who wins plenty of bumpers here.

16:10 Wincanton NH Flat Race (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

BASKERVILLE made a very pleasing start to his career over 2m at Stratford in August and plenty of improvement can be expected from Alan King's gelding. The four-year-old was beaten just half a length on that occasion and a repeat of that effort would see him on the scene here. The well-related Roman Roy is feared most for the powerful combination of Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden, while Horaces Pearl looks primed to follow them home.

HORACES PEARL created a good impression over C&D on debut and is worth a chance to defy a penalty for all that this is a better contest. Baskerville is a big danger on the back of a promising start and point bumper winner Saint Anapolino needs considering.

While it's never easy to defy penalties in races of this nature, HORACES PEARL beat a good horse here in April.

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.
