12:20 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 15f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/2 +13%) Him Malaya	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Him Malaya 7/2, Improved effort for his top yard when runner-up on 2m Ludlow handicap debut in May but didn't jump well enough at Warwick next time. Shaped as if needing the run on recent return over C&D and he appeals as the type to do better still this season. Below par on soft here last time; drying conditions would bring him into the equation.
2	10 2nd (10) (28/1 +15%) Daany	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Daany 28/1, Modest 1m winner on Flat who probably remained in form but showed his irresolute side once more when a well-beaten sixth at Exeter (16.7f, soft) just under 2 weeks ago, carrying head awkwardly/hanging left. Will need to take a step forward on previous exploits in this sphere to feature. Not disgraced last time but was still well held and he's higher in the weights here.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +45%) Miss Marette	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Miss Marette 18/1, Was entering 'longstanding maiden' territory prior to belatedly opening her account back from 12 months off at Exeter (novice) in October. Failed badly to back up that form returned to a big-field handicap there a month later and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. The ground was fast when producing easily her best form in a mares' maiden.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -13%) R S Ambush	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) R S Ambush 9/2, Fell sole start in points but offered something to work on in a couple of spins in maiden hurdles in Ireland this summer. Took a step forward on first start for this yard when runner-up in novice at Worcester (16f, soft) 6 weeks ago and fancied to have more to offer now handicapping. Bumped into one at Worcester and he's an interesting handicap debutant.
5th	9 5th (9) (7/1 -40%) Escobedo	7 7/1(-40%)	(9) Escobedo 7/1, Belatedly off the mark over hurdles on final start for Milton Harris at Sedgefield in October (sold for 3,500 gns) and offered something to work on back on the Flat when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 5 days ago, nearest at the finish having been left poorly placed. Can feature back hurdling. Good recent runs on the Flat and over jumps, but drier ground would be preferred.
6th	6 6th (6) (3/1 +10%) Tidal Storm	3 3/1(+10%)	(6) Tidal Storm 3/1, Fair handicapper on Flat who made an encouraging start over timber when third of 14 at Taunton (16.5f) last December. Hasn't kicked on both starts in this sphere since (latest on yard debut) but fancied to have more of a say now handicapping for a yard going great guns. Has to be of interest for this yard now sent into a handicap.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +25%) Hunters Song	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Hunters Song 12/1, Shown bits and pieces of form in Ireland and better than bare result when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) on debut for new yard back in April, ending up with far too much to do under this inexperienced conditional. Cheekpieces/tongue tie applied. Well beaten over 2m3f on British debut but he's still one to consider in new headgear.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -78%) Angel's Dream	16 16/1(-78%)	(4) Angel's Dream 16/1, Debut 13f Flat winner in France. Took a big step forward for current yard when cosily landing 2m novice hurdle at Plumpton in May but shaped as if better for the run on return/handicap debut at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Others look stronger, nonetheless. Perhaps needed it at Kempton on handicap debut and that was in a higher grade.
9th	2 9th (2) (5/1 +29%) Double Click	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Double Click 5/1, Unplaced in Irish points but promising start under Rules, supplementing his C&D maiden success on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15,8f, soft) in May. Produced a laboured effort under less testing conditions at Warwick later that month and he's one to look out for on return. Had looked progressive before not giving his running on ground too fast at Warwick.

LTO Selection:

12:20 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Escobedo won a similar race at Sedgefield when last seen over hurdles in early October and another bold bid can be expected of just a 6lb higher mark. Double Click also enters calculations based on the fact that he is 2-4 in this sphere and has scope to improve on his seasonal return. However, R S AMBUSH posted a commendable effort when second on his British debut last month and, given the winner of that race was placed in a Grade 2 next time, the form looks solid at this stage.

This can go the way of R S AMBUSH, who took a significant step forward when runner-up on first start for Dr Richard Newland at Worcester 6 weeks ago and with further improvement anticipated now handicapping, he can go a place better at the expense of Him Malaya, who could well leave his reappearance effort behind for Paul Nicholls. Escobedo and Tidal Storm can fight out third spot.

Handicap debutant R S AMBUSH looks interesting after chasing home a Graded horse at Worcester and the third has also run well since.

12:55 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -78%) Tritonic	4 4/1(-78%)	(1) Tritonic 4/1, Useful handicap hurdler and similar form at staying trips on the Flat, shaping better than distance beaten suggest when midfield in last month's Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Interesting his very good handler switches attentions to larger obstacles and he's respected. Well treated on peak hurdle form and was placed at Royal Ascot this summer; chase debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/8 +39%) Beau Balko	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(3) Beau Balko 11/8, Successful on his sole Flat start in France and successful twice over hurdles for present stable last winter. Looked a natural and typically travelled well before folding tamely from 4 out on return/chase debut at Ffos Las in October but he remains type to do better in this sphere. Useful hurdle form; shaped as though his chase debut would bring him on.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) Scarface	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) Scarface 7/2, Recorded a brace of small-field novice hurdle victories this time last year and ended last term with a pair of solid efforts in defeat in handicaps. Return/debut over fences at Ascot 19 days ago was disappointing (made novicey mistakes) but this ought to reveal more. Competitive mark on hurdle form; lost his confidence after interference on chase debut.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (11/4 -22%) Soul Icon	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(2) Soul Icon 11/4, Real success story in handicap hurdles, adding another victory to his tally on return at Fontwell (19.2f) last month. Similar form from this career-high mark when fourth in 16-runner Cheltenham handicap (19.9f) subsequently and he's not out of things now switched to larger obstacles. Prolific winning hurdler who could easily take to fences and do well.

LTO Selection:

12:55 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Soul Icon shaped nicely over hurdles and, given his tendency to jump out to the right, this course could play to his strengths if he adapts to fences on his chasing debut. Returning to going right-handed should also suit Beau Balko, whose best form over timber was posted going this way round. However, TRITONIC has some high-class hurdles form to his name and, now sent chasing off a competitive mark, he looks worth chancing. Scarface can also figure if his jumping holds together this time.

BEAU BALKO rates the type to make a chaser and looked a natural in the jumping department before folding from 4 out on his debut over fences at Ffos Las 39 days ago. However, he remains likely to do better in this sphere for his leading stable and gets the nod to leave that behind and come out on top. Tritonic and Soul Icon can give him plenty to think about, however.

All four have claims but SCARFACE is given another chance as not a lot went right on his return at Ascot.

12:55 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (13/8 -103%) Il Pino	1.625 13/8(-103%)	(2) Il Pino 13/8, €52,000 3-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam unraced. Successful sole start in points (Dec 2022) and looks stable first string on jockey bookings. Joined this top yard after winning a 2m4f British point on good ground last December.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +31%) Lord Of Thunder	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(5) Lord Of Thunder 11/2, Runner-up on his sole outing between the flags and was picked up for six figures subsequently. Shaped better than bare result when third in a Stratford bumper in April and faced a stiff task sent hurdling in Chepstow Grade 2 6 months later. Should do better. Placed in a point/bumper; asked a stiff question on hurdling debut; better expected.
3	3 3rd (3) (40/1 +39%) Jail No Bail	40 40/1(+39%)	(3) Jail No Bail 40/1, Shaped with encouragement when fifth in a Chepstow bumper last November but had an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on hurdle debut there the following month and not seen since. Pulled up at odds of 50-1 on his switch to hurdles last Christmas.
4	10 4th (10) (22/1 +45%) Thirtyfour Thirty	22 22/1(+45%)	(10) Thirtyfour Thirty 22/1, Fairly useful bumper winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies in the summer but below that level both starts over hurdles. Needs this run for a handicap mark. Each-way claims on the strength of latest fourth here behind the smart Meatloaf.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +33%) Pentire Head	3 3/1(+33%)	(6) Pentire Head 3/1, Fetched €145,000 as a 3-y-o and showed plenty of ability when placed all 3 starts in bumpers last season, despite not looking totally straightforward. Harry Cobden prefers Il Pino, though. Respectable bumper form and can benefit from this stiffer stamina test now hurdling.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +70%) Ri Na Cuirte	10 10/1(+70%)	(7) Ri Na Cuirte 10/1, From the family of very smart staying chaser Nil Desperandum. Finished runner-up on the second of 2 starts in Irish points and shaped with some encouragement when fifth of 15 in a Chepstow maiden (19.4f) on Rules debut 23 days ago. Encouraging effort at Chepstow and fully entitled to come on for that run.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -33%) Rockwiththetimes	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Rockwiththetimes 8/1, £50,000 5-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Movewiththetimes and smart 2¼m hurdle winner Venture Capital, stayed 2¾m. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 2022). Interesting Rules newcomer. Bought for £50,000 after winning his second Irish point and there's substance to that form.
8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 +56%) Sparkling Duke	7 7/1(+56%)	(9) Sparkling Duke 7/1, Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Wounded Warrior and offered plenty more than on his sole start in bumpers when fourth on last month's Aintree hurdle debut (20f). Yard going well and he ought to improve. They went a very steady gallop when beaten 18l on hurdling debut at Aintree.
9th	4 9th (4) (100/1 +50%) Katopop	100 100/1(+50%)	(4) Katopop 100/1, Runner-up completed start in points but made an unpromising start to his Rules career when pulled up in a novice hurdle at Taunton 9 months ago. Placed in his first point; 100-1 for hurdling debut at Taunton and ran accordingly (2m3f).

LTO Selection:

13:30 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Paul Nicholls won six consecutive runnings of this race up to 2020 and he holds another live chance in the shape of intriguing Rules debutant IL PINO. A comfortable winner of his sole start in a point-to-point, the son of Coastal Path follows a tried and trusted path on his debut run for the champion trainer and appeals most based on potential. Pentire Head has shown promise in bumpers and adds further strength to Nicholls' hand, while Ri Na Cuirte and Thirtyfour Thirty are also considered.

IL PINO was successful on his sole outing in points and it looks significant Harry Cobden has chosen to ride him rather than his stablemate Pentire Head, who has shown a decent level of form in bumpers. Sparkling Duke has a good pedigree and should build on his opening effort over hurdles at Aintree, while winning-pointer Rockwiththetimes and Idefix de Ciergues add further spice to the race.

The Tizzard yard is in much better form now than when LORD OF THUNDER was highly tried on his hurdling debut.

14:05 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (8/15 +15%) Pawapuri	0.533333 8/15(+15%)	(9) Pawapuri 8/15, Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas. Changed hands for 105,000 gns and given a considerate ride when fourth in Adonis at Kempton and Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree last spring. Remains with potential. Big shout in these calmer waters. Dual Flat winner who wasn't disgraced in Graded races last season.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +17%) Goodtimecrew	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(5) Goodtimecrew 5/2, Debut winner in Wincanton bumper (15.2f) in February and she made a good start in this sphere when second of 12 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft, 13/8) 17 days ago. Open to improvement. Course bumper winner who recently went close on switch to hurdling at Plumpton.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 +50%) Dolly Delightful	25 25/1(+50%)	(3) Dolly Delightful 25/1, Had wind op ahead of her debut fourth of 9 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 33/1) 7 months ago. Much respected on her hurdles debut. Prominent to a point and was beaten under 10l against male opposition in a Chepstow bumper.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -213%) Mairis Icon	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Mairis Icon 50/1, Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, running on late under a patient ride when third of 10 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 176 days ago. Can do better, especially if the market vibes are positive. Has a BHA mark of 93 and others in here should go higher than that.
5th	4 5th (4) (100/1 -400%) Getmetothemoon	100 100/1(-400%)	(4) Getmetothemoon 100/1, Fifth of 10 in bumper (9/2) at Chepstow (16f, soft) on NH debut, doing too much too soon. Off 8 months but not discounted on her hurdles debut. Raced prominently before dropping away in a soft-ground Chepstow bumper in March.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 +15%) Lhebayeb	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Lhebayeb 28/1, Fair Flat winner who bagged his third win at Windsor (10f, heavy) in October. Hood/ tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Considered newcomer. Likeable on the Flat but perhaps up against it even if taking to hurdles.
7th	10 7th (10) (125/1 -89%) Pip Away	125 125/1(-89%)	(10) Pip Away 125/1, Offered little on NH debut in bumper (11/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) 8 months ago. Goes hurdling now. A weakener in her only bumper at Chepstow when beaten just under a distance (soft; 11-1).
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 +60%) Selkirk Grace	40 40/1(+60%)	(11) Selkirk Grace 40/1, Fair form shown in bumpers and she posted a good fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 200/1) 14 days ago. Market can guide. Minor promise in bumpers and well beaten in two hurdles, at Warwick then Newbury.
9th	2 9th (2) (80/1 +47%) C'est Bleu	80 80/1(+47%)	(2) C'est Bleu 80/1, Second in a point bumper but has made an unpromising start under Rules, pulled up at Chepstow last month. Has since had breathing surgery. Shown very little in either run over hurdles and had a wind operation.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (6/1 -71%) Annie K	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Annie K 6/1, Easy winner sole outing in Irish points but she came in only fifth of 8 in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, good) 8 months ago. Has since undergone a breathing op and she's worth another chance now going over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time. Winning pointer; very free in a bumper and well held; now hooded and had a wind op.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +60%) Mollie Brown	40 40/1(+60%)	(8) Mollie Brown 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden, best run when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 6 months ago. Back down in trip and market can guide on her return. Hasn't shown a great deal so far and was well behind Goodtimecrew in a bumper here.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Useful Flat performer PAWAPURI was set some tough assignments last season and she was far from disgraced when finishing fourth in the Adonis at Kempton in February, as well as when ninth in the Grade 1 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree in April. Nicky Henderson's filly looks the one to beat in these calmer waters, with Goodtimecrew feared most. The five-year-old posted a close-up second on her hurdles debut at Plumpton recently and should have more to offer in this sphere. Winning pointer Annie K is another to note.

PAWAPURI showed plenty of promise in good hurdling company last term and this useful Flat scorer is fancied to open her account in this sphere now her sights are lowered on her return. Goodtimecrew seems sure to build on her debut Plumpton second and is next on the list ahead of Paul Nicholls' hurdling newcomer Annie K.

Dual Flat winner PAWAPURI has her sights lowered considerably after last season's Graded assignments.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +50%) Itso Fury	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Itso Fury 5/1, Won his first 2 outings over hurdles and shaped with encouragement sent handicapping on his remaining 3 starts last season, sent off favourite but losing little in defeat when fifth at Haydock (24.3f) in April. However, folded quickly when pulled up on his return last month. His return at Exeter was too quiet for comfort but he retains potential.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/2 -95%) Call Of The Wild	6.5 13/2(-95%)	(2) Call Of The Wild 13/2, Won sole bumper start and 2 from 4 in novice hurdles during 2021/22. Promising third on handicap/seasonal debut at Ascot (15.7f) in October last year, but disappointing in trio of starts over fences/hurdles thereafter. Goes back up in trip on his reappearance. Backend of last season never went well but ability is respected off this mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 -100%) Killaloan	9 9/1(-100%)	(4) Killaloan 9/1, Made a good start to his hurdling career last season, completing a quick-fire hat-trick in Ludlow handicap (15.8f) in March. Pulled up next time, though, and ran poorly on his Flat return last month. Needs to resume his progress upped in trip with cheekpieces applied. Hat-trick last season and could yet prove himself worthy of this mark; cheekpieces added.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -50%) The Turtle Said	12 12/1(-50%)	(8) The Turtle Said 12/1, Fair bumper performer who improved sent handicapping up in trip over hurdles, making it back-to-back wins when scoring in good style at Worcester (20f) in August last year. Has a lengthy absence to overcome, but he could still have more to offer. Up significantly in the weights for his two wins but he remains unexposed.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/10 +60%) Tanganyika	1.1 11/10(+60%)	(6) Tanganyika 11/10, Successful on debut in France and first victory on these shores in a Carlisle handicap (19.3f) in February. Not in the same form next time, though, before failing to stay the longer trip at Market Rasen in May. However, he could bounce back reappearing with his yard in fine form. Handicap winner; remains lightly raced and fitness shouldn't be an issue after his break.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (9/1 -6%) Vision Des Flos	9 9/1(-6%)	(5) Vision Des Flos 9/1, Successful in handicap chase at Warwick (20f) in September last year and continued in good heart until a poor effort on his final outing last season. However, reverted to hurdling he got back on track when finishing fourth on his last 2 starts. Shortlisted. Hasn't won over hurdles since 2019 and he was a much better horse back then.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (14/1 -75%) Honneur D'ajonc	14 14/1(-75%)	(1) Honneur D'ajonc 14/1, Won 4 times over hurdles in 2021/22 and came good at the fifth time of asking over fences in handicap at Hereford (21f) in January. However, failed to complete on his final 2 starts of the campaign, so will need to be revitalised by the return to hurdling after 6 months off. Might well appreciate this return to hurdles and this mark isn't beyond him.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The Turtle Said was most taking when romping home by 15 lengths at Worcester in August 2022 and the six-year-old warrants respect on his belated return to action. However, it may be worth sticking with the red-hot Venetia Williams yard and their TANGANYIKA. The son of Martaline is only 4lb higher than his last victory and a summer break may have freshened him up. Killaloan and Vision Des Flos are others to note in an open contest.

TANGANYIKA wasn't able to build on his Carlisle success in his 2 subsequent starts in the spring, but he's worth another chance back down in trip as he returns with his yard in excellent form. The 5-y-o is preferred to The Turtle Said, who arrives bidding for a hat-trick albeit after a long absence, while Vision des Flos can give his running once again.

The 6yo ITSO FURY was pulled up on his reappearance at Exeter but the progress he made last season is by no means forgotten.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +55%) Pilsdon Pen	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(4) Pilsdon Pen 9/2, Three-time hurdles winner, the latest at Exeter (16.7f, soft) a year ago. Held form in that sphere after and shaped as if better for the run when a remote third on chase bow at Warwick on return. Triple hurdle winner but he made a low-key start over fences at Warwick two weeks ago.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 +38%) Morfee	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(7) Morfee 15/2, Opened his account back over hurdles in at Plumpton in March 2022 and followed up with relative ease at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) a month later. First run since when well held Wincanton 25 days ago but should strip fitter now. Switches from hurdles to chase. Tailed off on his comeback last month and has something to prove back over fences.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 +54%) Moytier	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(8) Moytier 11/2, Mixed record over hurdles but took well to chasing despite finding things happening a bit too quickly for him when third of 10 in handicap at Hereford (16f, good) 17 days ago. Return to further will suit and first-time headgear may also help. Promising third on chase debut at Hereford and this step back up in trip looks a good move.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 +0%) Flagrant Delitiep	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(3) Flagrant Delitiep 5/2, Dual C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when fourth in handicap at Plumpton on return and built on that when third over C&D 12 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards down in class. Creditable third off a much-reduced mark over C&D last time and he's in the mix.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -14%) Gingerbred	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Gingerbred 8/1, Confirmed previous promise when winning a handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f) in February but a mixed bag after, only fifth of 6 in handicap chase (10/3) at Exeter (19.2f, soft) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Overall record of 1-13 and was only fifth of six on his chase debut at Exeter last month.
6th	1 6th (1) (15/2 -7%) Balko Saint	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(1) Balko Saint 15/2, Dual winner over hurdles and unlucky to bump into a thriving rival when claiming a fourth successive runner-up finish over fences at Newton Abbot (21f, good) in June. Weakened quickly back over hurdles back from 5 months off 25 days ago but should come on for that. Has gone close over C&D and he looks interesting off dangerous mark back over fences.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -220%) Haldon Hill	16 16/1(-220%)	(2) Haldon Hill 16/1, Thrived this spring, winning at Ffos Las (3m) and Taunton. Found run of good form coming to a halt final start but type to bounce back after 7 months off. Three chase wins last term but this 10yo looks on a tough enough mark again; down the list.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (6/1 -100%) Tamaris	6 6/1(-100%)	(6) Tamaris 6/1, Has taken well to chasing and completed a double in likeable fashion at Fontwell last time. More needed to land the hat-trick off 5 lb higher up in class. Clearcut winner in the last two of his four chase runs; big player again in hat-trick bid.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

TAMARIS has proved a revelation since undergoing a wind procedure in August, as evidenced by his victories at Plumpton and Fontwell in the following months. A 5lb rise for the six-year-old's most recent triumph looks on the generous side and a hat-trick appears a distinct possibility. Flagrant Delitiep returns to the C&D of his last success off a 20lb lower mark and Robert Walford's inmate isn't taken likely, while Moytier appears the type who will improve for first-time cheekpieces.

Dual C&D winner FLAGRANT DELITIEP has made a decent start to the season and looks ready to strike off a career-low mark down in class. Balko Saint should come on for his comeback run over hurdles and is next best ahead of Moytier, who took well to fences when third at Hereford and will be suited by this longer trip.

Joe Tizzard's 6yo TAMARIS (nap) has really got his act together over fences this autumn and can strike again in his hat-trick bid.

15:50 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (15/2 -7%) Doyen For Money	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(4) Doyen For Money 15/2, Promising sort who got off the mark fitted with a tongue strap in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) in April. Disappointing next time but likely to get back on track fresh from 6 months off. Successful handicap debut at Plumpton and failed to give his running next time.
2	5 2nd (5) (50/1 -52%) Chankaya	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Chankaya 50/1, Fair form at best on Flat but yet to achieve the same level over hurdles, only eighth of 17 at Cheptsow recently. Others make more appeal. Modest handicap debut latest but the signs were more encouraging prior to that.
3	13 3rd (13) (8/1 +43%) Robber's Bridge	8 8/1(+43%)	(13) Robber's Bridge 8/1, Has made more impact since sent handicapping this year and wasn't discredited when sixth at Uttoxeter last time. Steps back up in trip with a hood refitted. Can be keen but has been knocking on the door over various trips and ground.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +33%) Ventara	3 3/1(+33%)	(8) Ventara 3/1, Boasts a progressive profile and made a positive start to handicapping when second at Chepstow three weeks ago. Step up in trip should bring further improvement out of him, so he boasts leading claims. Improved second on his handicap debut at Chepstow and now raised in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 -64%) Jack Sprat	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(2) Jack Sprat 9/2, Represents an in-form yard and got back on the up when landing a 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon with something to spare on return. Could improve again, so makes plenty of appeal. Justified favouritism at Huntingdon (going away) and a 4lb rise should be fine.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +8%) Caeruleum	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Caeruleum 11/1, Well held in novice hurdles to date but related to a winner and might step forward if the market speaks in his favour on handicap debut. Well held so far but handicaps could see him in a much better light.
7th	1 7th (1) (17/2 -55%) Sami Bear	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(1) Sami Bear 17/2, Scored at Kempton in February and back on track when third there on reappearance. Stable has started firing since and he's likely to be on the premises. Respectable latest effort at Kempton and drops into a lower grade here.
8th	9 8th (9) (15/2 +25%) Whenitrainsitpours	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(9) Whenitrainsitpours 15/2, Still looking for a first success and well held in handicaps this year. Mark has come down as a result but he's not threatening to capitalise. 0-10 for Milton Harris and going nowhere in handicaps when last seen.
9th	12 9th (12) (8/1 +43%) Watchoutitscookie	8 8/1(+43%)	(12) Watchoutitscookie 8/1, In good form in the spring and should strip fiitter for reappearance at Exeter. Others look better treated, though. Dropped away on his return at Exeter but this would be more his track.
10th	14 10th (14) (25/1 -56%) Starvidov	25 25/1(-56%)	(14) Starvidov 25/1, No real impact in bumpers and it's been a similar story over hurdles so far. Cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut, so not completely dismissed if the market speaks in his favour. Precious little to crow about thus far but cheekpieces are fitted for handicap debut.
11th	16 11th (16) (33/1 +34%) Sans Of Gold	33 33/1(+34%)	(16) Sans Of Gold 33/1, Unplaced completed start in points and poor form at best over hurdles. Hard to make a case for on reappearance. Has not finished closer than 16l to a winner over hurdles and he's 7lb out of the weights.
12th	15 12th (15) (25/1 -456%) Makanao	25 25/1(-456%)	(15) Makanao 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 8 in juvenile hurdle (5/2) at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not dismissed. Flat winner in France; lightly raced over hurdles and a dark one now handicapping.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (250/1 -279%) Blue Anchor	250 250/1(-279%)	(11) Blue Anchor 250/1, Beaten a long way on debut in a Warwick bumper and not much encouragement over hurdles for former yard. Plenty to prove on stable debut after 7 months off. Poor form in five runs for previous connections and sold on for just £2,000.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although DOYEN FOR MONEY was ultimately disappointing when finishing seventh at Fontwell in May, the five-year-old appeared too keen on that occasion and, if settling better on his reappearance, he strikes as the type who is still ahead of his mark. Jack Sprat is sure to prove popular after recently opening his account in good fashion at Huntingdon and Jamie Snowden's charge may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of fellow in-form rivals Sami Bear and Ventara.

VENTARA is going the right way and promises to be well suited by this step up in trip, so he takes marginal preference over Jack Sprat, who is also on the up. Sami Bear also merits consideration in an open-looking handicap.

David Pipe's ex-French Flat winner MAKANAO could be interesting at the foot of the weights with his 3yo allowance.

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.
