12:15 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (14) (3.5/1 -5%) Aazza	3.5/1(-5%)	(14) Aazza 3.5/1, Fair hurdles winner. Didn't progress in handicap chases on first 3 outings this term but she was back on track when second in a Newcastle handicap hurdle last month. That form boosted by the winner going in again since. Much respected off the same mark.
2 2nd (15) (3.33/1 +33%) The Wise Traveller	3.33/1(+33%)	(15) The Wise Traveller 3.33/1, Returned from 5 months off with win in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell in August and back from another break with a fine second at Wincanton (3m) last month. Put up another 5 lb for that but still one of the more likely types here.
3 3rd (8) (28/1 -12%) First Man	28/1(-12%)	(8) First Man 28/1, Won 3 of his final 4 starts in 2020/21 season but not seen again until 2 poor efforts this autumn. Can only be watched for the time being.
4 4th (17) (18/1 -50%) Young Moloney	18/1(-50%)	(17) Young Moloney 18/1, Runner-up on Cartmel handicap debut in July but took a couple of backward steps on return from a break in November. Still early days but others arrive with stronger claims.
5th 5th (12) (33/1 +59%) The Blame Game	33/1(+59%)	(12) The Blame Game 33/1, Both hurdle wins gained over 2½m at Sedgefield, the latter in August 2021. Has struggled since finishing second at Musselburgh last November, pulling up the last twice. Plenty to prove.
6th 6th (13) (12/1 +33%) Fantomas	12/1(+33%)	(13) Fantomas 12/1, Fortunate to score over fences at Uttoxeter in September. Respectable in-frame efforts in chase/hurdle at Ludlow since. Hard to argue he has anything in hand of his mark.
7th 7th (18) (28/1 +15%) Ali Star Bert	28/1(+15%)	(18) Ali Star Bert 28/1, Opened his account in 23f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in autumn 2021 but has pulled up in a hurdle/chase this winter.
8th 8th (19) (40/1 +60%) The Skiffle King	40/1(+60%)	(19) The Skiffle King 40/1, Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles, finishing down the field on Market Rasen handicap debut on Boxing Day.
9th 9th (16) (66/1 +18%) Nechako	66/1(+18%)	(16) Nechako 66/1, Some promise in maiden/novice events at Cartmel this summer but well beaten in handicaps for Jimmy Moffatt since. Has switched yards since last seen 9 days ago.
\|F\| \|F\| (7) (8.5/1 -143%) Rickety Gate	8.5/1(-143%)	(7) Rickety Gate 8.5/1, Returned in fine form this autumn, justifying strong support at Kelso (21f) in October and following up in good style at Musselburgh (3m) in November. Has to be of interest in hat-trick bid.
10th 10th (2) (7/1 -27%) Bird On The Wire	7/1(-27%)	(2) Bird On The Wire 7/1, Won a division of this race last year and recorded another good effort over this C&D when third in November. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. One to consider.
11th 11th (9) (7.5/1 +25%) Braganza Bay	7.5/1(+25%)	(9) Braganza Bay 7.5/1, Responded to first-time cheekpieces when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) in November but the headgear didn't work anywhere near as well at Taunton the following month and is left off now. Bounce back needed.
12th 12th (1) (12/1 +33%) The Composeur	12/1(+33%)	(1) The Composeur 12/1, Has won over hurdles and fences from higher marks than this but he wasn't at the top of his game when last seen in November. Stable won a division of this race 12 months ago.
13th 13th (3) (18/1 +18%) Design Icon	18/1(+18%)	(3) Design Icon 18/1, Won a 20.5f Market Rasen novice hurdle (20.5f) in May 2021 but no impact in 2 handicaps since returning from a long absence. Others arrive with more pressing claims.
14th 14th (10) (20/1 +29%) Kings Creek	20/1(+29%)	(10) Kings Creek 20/1, Largely consistent sort who scored over 3m at Southwell in May but has been below par in recent starts. Others are preferred.
15th 15th (5) (40/1 -21%) Welsh's Castle	40/1(-21%)	(5) Welsh's Castle 40/1, Fair form over hurdles at the start of his career but has largely struggled since. Did run a bit better with blinkers added when fourth over fences at Wincanton last time but not well enough to fancy his chances here.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (18/1 +0%) Flying Verse	18/1(+0%)	(6) Flying Verse 18/1, Had a good spell over fences after wind surgery in the summer, winning at Stratford (22.5f) and Musselburgh (4m) in the autumn. Shaped a bit better his remote fifth at Taunton over Christmas might suggest. First hurdle start since summer 2021.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (11) (50/1 +24%) Welsh Reign	50/1(+24%)	(11) Welsh Reign 50/1, Placed twice over fences for Tim Reed last season but beaten a long way in 2 handicap chases for current stable in November. Tongue strap reached for now back hurdling.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (100/1 -25%) Choungaya	100/1(-25%)	(4) Choungaya 100/1, Successful over hurdles/fences for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland but he hasn't shown anything in 4 handicap chases since joining present yard. Can only be watched back hurdling.

12:45 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (9/1 +25%) Feel Good Inc	9/1(+25%)	(4) Feel Good Inc 9/1, Every chance when falling at the last on sole start between the flags and didn't shape at all badly when third on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter bumper. Well worth a second look now that he tackles hurdles.
2 2nd (5) (0.67/1 -34%) Issuing Authority	0.67/1(-34%)	(5) Issuing Authority 0.67/1, Flemensfirth gelding from a good family. Runner-up in Irish points at second attempt and forged clear to land 5-runner bumper at Uttoxeter in March. Placed both starts over hurdles to end 2022 and slight step up in trip will suit. The one to beat.
3 3rd (9) (7/1 -56%) Storminhome	7/1(-56%)	(9) Storminhome 7/1, £70,000 5-y-o, Frammassone gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Storm of Intrigue. Won second start in Irish points in April and displayed plenty of ability when runner-up on hurdles debut at Leicester, held back by mistakes. Should have more to offer and one of the more appealing runners here.
4 4th (8) (25/1 +11%) Oak Creek	25/1(+11%)	(8) Oak Creek 25/1, €28,000 3-y-o, £35,000 5-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Monkshood and fairly useful chaser Lilith, stays 25f. Dam (c100/h108) bumper/2m hurdle winner. Placed both completed starts in Irish points (latest Mar 2022).
5th 5th (3) (10/1 +9%) Dj Pete	10/1(+9%)	(3) Dj Pete 10/1, Malinas gelding who stepped up on his debut effort after 6 months off when runner-up in a Bangor bumper in October. Step up in trip looks a good move now hurdling.
6th 6th (7) (3.5/1 +50%) Nollyador	3.5/1(+50%)	(7) Nollyador 3.5/1, Well-made gelding who was progressive in bumpers. Better than result suggests on hurdles bow on the back of a wind op last month, a bad mistake 2 out stopping him in his tracks. More to come. Tongue tie on.
7th 7th (10) (125/1 +38%) Celestial Park	125/1(+38%)	(10) Celestial Park 125/1, Looks a handicap project over hurdles.
8th 8th (6) (100/1 -100%) Kash Tara	100/1(-100%)	(6) Kash Tara 100/1, In good hands but looks a long-term project.
9th 9th (1) (66/1 +18%) Can't Beat History	66/1(+18%)	(1) Can't Beat History 66/1, Second when falling 2 out sole start in points and made an encouraging Rules debut when second of 14 in a Ballinrobe bumper in May. Sold out of Jonathan Sweeney's yard for £31,000 later that month but December's hurdles debut wasn't encouraging.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (200/1 +0%) Diamant Sur Canape	200/1(+0%)	(2) Diamant Sur Canape 200/1, Well held in bumper and little to shout about in 3 starts in this sphere.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (11) (300/1 -20%) Whiskey Times	300/1(-20%)	(11) Whiskey Times 300/1, No impact both starts 22 months apart.

13:00 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (14/1 -100%) Burrows Park	14/1(-100%)	(1) Burrows Park 14/1, One-time useful hurdler who produced his best effort for a while when landing 3m Chepstow handicap on his final start last season. Creditable second of 14 at Ludlow (21f) 3 weeks ago, although he was off the bridle a long way out.
2 2nd (5) (3.2/1 +47%) Lanspark	3.2/1(+47%)	(5) Lanspark 3.2/1, Won around 3m at Chepstow and Plumpton last winter. Solid return to action when second at Chepstow in November but not in the same form when fifth back there since.
3 3rd (2) (1.2/1 +13%) Imperial Storm	1.2/1(+13%)	(2) Imperial Storm 1.2/1, Bumper winner in spring 2021 and better with each start over hurdles since returning from an absence, making a winning handicap debut over 3m at Wetherby last month. 5 lb rise may not stop him with further progress on the cards.
4 4th (6) (11/1 -144%) Fancy Your Chances	11/1(-144%)	(6) Fancy Your Chances 11/1, Runner-up in the first of 3 bumpers last winter and placed in mares' maiden/novice hurdles this time round. Appeals as a likely improver now making a quick switch to handicap company.
5th 5th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Kepagge	4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Kepagge 4.5/1, Won bumper and novice hurdles on first 3 starts under Rules back in 2019/20. Hasn't kicked on in a light career since but latest Ffos Las third shows he's down to a mark he can be competitive from.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (11/1 +45%) Danny Whizzbang	11/1(+45%)	(4) Danny Whizzbang 11/1, Down in the weights when off mark for this yard in chase at Huntingdon in April. Not disgraced in a Market Rasen hurdle in May but well held back chasing in early-summer. Has first outing for 7 months here.

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

13:15 Doncaster Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (13) (12/1 +40%) Hidden Beauty	12/1(+40%)	(13) Hidden Beauty 12/1, Ffos Las bumper winner on debut and was travelling well when carried out turning for home on Uttoxeter hurdling debut. Only fourth in 9-runner novice at same course next time, though, and needs to cut out the mistakes.
2 2nd (16) (28/1 +15%) Passing Reflection	28/1(+15%)	(16) Passing Reflection 28/1, Produced a promising first effort when runner-up in a bumper at Uttoxeter in March but was too free in a first-time hood at Warwick 7 months later. Needs to get back on track on hurdle debut.
3 3rd (2) (1.75/1 +30%) Kellahen	1.75/1(+30%)	(2) Kellahen 1.75/1, Useful on the Flat in Germany/France and made it third time lucky over hurdles when landing a 13-runner Bangor novice (16.7f) in decisive fashion in November. Improved further despite failing to land the odds on his Wetherby handicap debut since and looks up to defying a penalty back in a novice.
4 4th (7) (3.5/1 -133%) Joe Dadancer	3.5/1(-133%)	(7) Joe Dadancer 3.5/1, Clear when fell last sole start in Irish points but failed to meet expectations in a Wetherby novice hurdle on Rules debut in late October. Tongue strap now goes on (also had breathing op) and he's clearly thought capable of better.
5th 5th (10) (10/1 +55%) Tapley	10/1(+55%)	(10) Tapley 10/1, Winning start under Rules in a Fontwell bumper in October and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when fourth of 12 in a Newbury maiden (16.3f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Should build on that.
6th 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Summergrounds	28/1(+15%)	(9) Summergrounds 28/1, Showed fair form when reaching the frame all 3 starts in bumpers but more needed now starting out over hurdles in a warmish race. Has had a breathing op since last seen.
7th 7th (3) (22/1 -38%) Lihyan	22/1(-38%)	(3) Lihyan 22/1, Built on hurdling debut promise when off the mark in 17-runner maiden at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) in July, pushed out. Has since left Josh Halley and more required under a penalty.
8th 8th (17) (250/1 -150%) Turbulent Power	250/1(-150%)	(17) Turbulent Power 250/1, Poor form in bumpers and on the Flat but showed an aptitude for hurdling at the first attempt when fourth at Newcastle (16.2f). Blundered and unseated her rider at the first at Catterick next time and is more one for low-grade handicaps.
9th 9th (6) (150/1 -50%) Hashehadhisoatsyet	150/1(-50%)	(6) Hashehadhisoatsyet 150/1, Looked one for the longer term when well held in a Catterick maiden hurdle on debut in November.
10th 10th (8) (200/1 -100%) Rocket Robbo	200/1(-100%)	(8) Rocket Robbo 200/1, Poor in bumpers and went with little promise sent hurdling at Wetherby 2 weeks ago.
11th 11th (11) (200/1 -100%) Au Jus	200/1(-100%)	(11) Au Jus 200/1, Showed a bit on her sole outing in bumpers but hasn't offered much on her completed start over hurdles and on the Flat since.
12th 12th (15) (250/1 -150%) Miss Solitaire	250/1(-150%)	(15) Miss Solitaire 250/1, Sent off big prices when well held in 2 bumpers so easily passed over.
13th 13th (14) (150/1 -50%) Milagrosa	150/1(-50%)	(14) Milagrosa 150/1, Masked Marvel filly. Half-sister to numerous winners on Flat, including useful German 6f-1m winner Manipura. No impact in a Chepstow bumper/Hereford novice hurdle, though.
14th 14th (18) (20/1 +60%) Choirmaster	20/1(+60%)	(18) Choirmaster 20/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 14.5f, but well below form last 2 starts. Sold from Charlie & Mark Johnston for 15,000 gns in October.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Ballyglass	2.25/1(+18%)	(1) Ballyglass 2.25/1, Useful bumper performer who landed the odds with ease on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter. Wasn't seen to best effect upped in grade at Haydock since and remains capable of better.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -33%) Buford	200/1(-33%)	(5) Buford 200/1, Just modest on the Flat and offered little on Southwell hurdling debut in July.

13:35 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (2.5/1 -43%) Blackjack Magic	2.5/1(-43%)	(2) Blackjack Magic 2.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles for Jack Barber last term. Made a promising chasing/stable debut when second of nine in Ffos Las novice (2m4f) in November so needs considering now up in trip and fitted with tongue tie.
2 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +20%) Rose Of Arcadia	1.5/1(+20%)	(3) Rose Of Arcadia 1.5/1, Easy winner of a couple of points in the spring and readily got off the mark in this sphere in 3m2f Fontwell handicap 35 days ago. Weighted to go in again with that form having been franked.
3 3rd (4) (3/1 -9%) Anglers Crag	3/1(-9%)	(4) Anglers Crag 3/1, Point winner who made a winning start for this yard in Leicester novice hurdle in February. Running a good first race over fences when fell 3 out over C&D nine days ago. Can bounce back.
4 4th (1) (7.5/1 +25%) Eminent Poet	7.5/1(+25%)	(1) Eminent Poet 7.5/1, Useful staying hurdler at his best but he was well below that form on his chasing debut at Ludlow in May and when returned to hurdles in Wincanton handicap 15 days ago. Yard is going well so no surprise to see him bounce back.

13:50 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (0.83/1 -4%) Bold Endeavour	0.83/1(-4%)	(1) Bold Endeavour 0.83/1, Point/bumper winner who quickly made up into a borderline useful novice hurdler last season. Pulled up on return/chase debut at Carlisle but left that form behind on first start for Nicky Henderson when scoring at Leicester last month. Open to further progress.
2 2nd (5) (9/1 -13%) Baron De Midleton	9/1(-13%)	(5) Baron De Midleton 9/1, Back to form in blinkers last twice, capitalising on a reduced mark in ready fashion at Newcastle in November then second at Sedgefield (21f) 6 days later. Claims if the headgear continues to work.
3 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Famous Bridge	4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Famous Bridge 4.5/1, Made second handicap start over hurdles a winning one at Kelso (20.9f) in March. That form worked out and while he's been off since pulling up a month later, he's in good hands and retains potential now chasing.
4 4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Zacony Rebel	12/1(+0%)	(3) Zacony Rebel 12/1, Dual-hurdles winner last season and landed a small-field novice handicap at Fontwell on his chase debut in October. Creditable third in what was likely a decent contest at Wetherby next time but since shaped as though amiss at Taunton.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Skytastic	4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Skytastic 4.5/1, Useful form when winning a brace of bumpers and took his record over hurdles to 2-2 at Ascot (19.2f) in February. Still held every chance when making a bad mistake 3 out upped in trip/grade at Aintree on final outing. Tongue tied for reappearance/chase debut in November and he was disappointing.

14:10 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (13) (6.5/1 +19%) Barrier Peaks	6.5/1(+19%)	(13) Barrier Peaks 6.5/1, Showed first form in tongue strap when third of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Enters calculations.
2 2nd (9) (1.1/1 +56%) The Imposter	1.1/1(+56%)	(9) The Imposter 1.1/1, On the up and he completed his hat-trick with stylish success in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, 5/2) 14 days ago. Up another 5 lb but leading claims again.
3 3rd (12) (6/1 +29%) Bellamy's Grey	6/1(+29%)	(12) Bellamy's Grey 6/1, Landed this event 12 months ago but never-dangerous fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this C&D (soft) 51 days ago. Unreliable type.
4 4th (1) (22/1 -120%) Ben Bulben	22/1(-120%)	(1) Ben Bulben 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
5th 5th (18) (66/1 -32%) Elfride	66/1(-32%)	(18) Elfride 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for her handicap debut with lots to find on form.
6th 6th (14) (8/1 +6%) Flutiste	8/1(+6%)	(14) Flutiste 8/1, Remains a maiden after 16 runs and below-form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 51 days ago. Blinkers go back on with more needed.
7th 7th (7) (16/1 -88%) Little Else	16/1(-88%)	(7) Little Else 16/1, Fair winner in bumpers but off 21 months and yet to hit top form at Hereford and Exeter this winter. May still do better now going into handicaps up in trip.
8th 8th (19) (150/1 +0%) Tis But A Scratch	150/1(+0%)	(19) Tis But A Scratch 150/1, Limited sort who makes no appeal from 6 lb out of the weights.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (12/1 +0%) If Karl's Berg Did	12/1(+0%)	(6) If Karl's Berg Did 12/1, Off 17 months before posting encouraging third of 7 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Leicester (15.5f, soft) 44 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and interesting if building on that comeback run.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (16/1 +52%) Gio's Girl	16/1(+52%)	(5) Gio's Girl 16/1, Winning pointer who showed modest form over hurdles when last seen out 2 years ago. Has her fitness to prove.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (17) (22/1 +12%) Foillmore	22/1(+12%)	(17) Foillmore 22/1, Poor maiden but he arrives on the back of three respectable efforts at Newton Abbot. More is needed though from 2 lb out of the handicap.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (16) (28/1 -273%) Galactic Power	28/1(-273%)	(16) Galactic Power 28/1, Not successful since 2018 but this veteran got back on track in a first-time visor when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, 33/1) 33 days ago. Needs to back it up now.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (33/1 -83%) Holerday Ridge	33/1(-83%)	(2) Holerday Ridge 33/1, Dual winner last season who was a good third in handicap at Uttoxeter in June. Not quite in the same form since and unseated rider 1st in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) 42 days ago. More needed.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (50/1 -213%) Sharp Note	50/1(-213%)	(10) Sharp Note 50/1, Made a winning start in this sphere in 2m novice at Hereford in October but well below par at Newbury and Uttoxeter since. This step into handicap company needs to spark a big improvement.
\|RO\| \|RO\| (11) (66/1 -136%) Sign Of War	66/1(-136%)	(11) Sign Of War 66/1, Fair winning hurdler but off 14 months since below-par sixth in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f). Others appeal more on this occasion.

14:25 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (7) (1.75/1 +42%) The Questioner	1.75/1(+42%)	(7) The Questioner 1.75/1, Different proposition since handicapping with cheekpieces enlisted, winning 3 times and runner-up twice from half-a-dozen starts in handicap hurdles. Latest Ascot success represented a career-best and he will be a danger to all if his jumping passes the test now switched to fences.
2 2nd (3) (7/1 +18%) Lyrical Genius	7/1(+18%)	(3) Lyrical Genius 7/1, Winner of sole outing between the flags and followed up in a Warwick bumper/21f novice hurdle here on first 2 starts under Rules in 2021. However, little impact since and he was safely held in first-time blinkers (retained) on chase debut/first run following a wind op at Hereford.
3 3rd (2) (7.5/1 -67%) Taste The Fear	7.5/1(-67%)	(2) Taste The Fear 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who stepped up on previous chase efforts when second in an 8-runner Huntingdon handicap (23.6f) last month. Since undergone a wind op and while there's certainly room for improvement in the jumping department, he's a major player back up in trip here.
4 4th (6) (4.5/1 +36%) Court At Slip	4.5/1(+36%)	(6) Court At Slip 4.5/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who was successful over hurdles last term and made a winning start in this sphere at Wetherby (24.2f) on Boxing Day. Almost certainly would've finished second had the eventual runner-up not all but fell at the second-last but it was an encouraging start over fences all the same.
5th 5th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Midnight Glance	3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Midnight Glance 3.5/1, Opened chase account at the fourth attempt with cheekpieces enlisted at Exeter (3m) in November. Wasn't in the same form when brushed aside by Certainly Red at Wincanton (25f) since but that form was given a boost by the winner on Saturday and definite chance down 2 lb here in a first-time visor.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (9/1 +55%) Finalshot	9/1(+55%)	(8) Finalshot 9/1, Bagged a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in September but overall profile is more miss than hit and he's 0-7 in this sphere.

14:40 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (1.2/1 +31%) Hermes Du Gouet	1.2/1(+31%)	(4) Hermes Du Gouet 1.2/1, Point winner who was sent off favourite for both of his starts in bumpers last winter, finishing runner-up on both occasions. Not at that level both starts over hurdles at up to 20.5f but drop in trip could be a good move and this isn't a strong race.
2 2nd (5) (1.2/1 -94%) Ioupy Collonges	1.2/1(-94%)	(5) Ioupy Collonges 1.2/1, €40,000 3-y-o, 60,000 gns 4-y-o, Kitkou gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Guguss Collonges. Placed both starts in points in May and positively ridden when landing a bumper at Hereford in November. This looks a good opening switched to hurdling.
3 3rd (2) (40/1 +39%) Big Blue Moon	40/1(+39%)	(2) Big Blue Moon 40/1, Showed a bit in a Chepstow bumper on November debut but well held sent hurdling at Hereford.
4 4th (9) (40/1 +39%) Whenitrainsitpours	40/1(+39%)	(9) Whenitrainsitpours 40/1, Third in a point but little to get excited about under Rules so far.
5th 5th (7) (18/1 -13%) Mumbles	18/1(-13%)	(7) Mumbles 18/1, €42,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam 2½m-3m chase winner. In need of the experience starting out at Ffos Las in November. Capable of better.
6th 6th (10) (150/1 -50%) Can You See Her	150/1(-50%)	(10) Can You See Her 150/1, Telescope mare was placed sole start between the flags but was never a factor on hurdles debut here last week (18.5f).
7th 7th (6) (8.5/1 +15%) Mikhailovich	8.5/1(+15%)	(6) Mikhailovich 8.5/1, Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Royal Vacation out of 2m hurdle winner Summer Break, also 9f-1¼m winner on Flat. Stuck to his task when third of 7 in a Chepstow bumper in April. Had a wind op after and pulled up on hurdles debut 7 months later.
8th 8th (8) (50/1 +0%) Steel My Thunder	50/1(+0%)	(8) Steel My Thunder 50/1, €8,500 Zambezi Sun half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Classical Art. Big price and merely hinted at ability on debut over C&D in November.
9th 9th (1) (33/1 +34%) Belgarum	33/1(+34%)	(1) Belgarum 33/1, Limited impact in a bumper/novice hurdle.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (250/1 -67%) Chairman Fitz	250/1(-67%)	(3) Chairman Fitz 250/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¾m) Fletchers Flyer. Third sole start in points but no impact under Rules.

Form	Odds	Runs
(8) (50/1 -25%) Betty's Banjo	50/1(-25%)	(8) Betty's Banjo 50/1, Won sole outing in Irish points and left hurdling debut form behind when landing an 8-runner novice at Uttoxeter (2½m) in May. Showed nothing back from a break on handicap bow at Exeter in November, however.
1 1st (10) (5.5/1 +21%) Clear White Light	5.5/1(+21%)	(10) Clear White Light 5.5/1, Hexham winner for Sandy Forster in April and stepped up on that form when good fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wetherby (16f, good to soft) on return for new yard 15 days ago. Entitled to build on that and merits consideration.
2 2nd (16) (4.5/1 +63%) Garde Des Champs	4.5/1(+63%)	(16) Garde Des Champs 4.5/1, Off 7 months, better signs after another breathing operation when fourth of 12 to Okavango Delta in handicap hurdle (20/1) over C&D (good) 46 days ago. Each-way claims if building on that here.
3 3rd (13) (22/1 +56%) Nora The Xplorer	22/1(+56%)	(13) Nora The Xplorer 22/1, Pair of novice wins at up to 3m early last year and made the frame off higher marks than this in a couple of handicaps when last seen in May. Place possibilities provided she is ready to roll following a 7-month break. Blinkers on for first time.
4 4th (2) (2.75/1 +17%) Sporting Mike	2.75/1(+17%)	(2) Sporting Mike 2.75/1, Winning Irish pointer who showed much improved form to get off the mark on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Bettered that (off 10 lb higher) when runner-up at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) latest and likely more to come yet.
5th 5th (7) (5/1 +17%) Maclaine	5/1(+17%)	(7) Maclaine 5/1, Promise in 2 hurdle outings last year and made a successful return to action at Fontwell (17.7f) in November. Another in this line-up who is unexposed now moving into handicap company.
6th 6th (12) (50/1 +24%) Kadex	50/1(+24%)	(12) Kadex 50/1, Won twice from 4 starts over hurdles in France last season but shaped as if amiss when pulled up on return/yard debut and no signs of improvement at Wetherby since. Had wind operation.
7th 7th (4) (6/1 -33%) Tommy Cullen	6/1(-33%)	(4) Tommy Cullen 6/1, Improved with each start under Rules, getting off the mark at third time of asking when easily landing 4-runner novice hurdle over C&D (good) 32 days ago. May be capable of better yet now sent handicapping.
8th 8th (14) (8/1 +33%) Okavango Delta	8/1(+33%)	(14) Okavango Delta 8/1, Off the mark, in first-time cheekpieces, when taking 12-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 46 days ago. This looks more competitive but he warrants respect nonetheless.
9th 9th (3) (50/1 -25%) Kannapolis	50/1(-25%)	(3) Kannapolis 50/1, Winner of a 3-runner handicap at Huntingdon in March but has failed by a long way to reproduce that level of form in 4 subsequent starts. Blinkers now tried for first time in this code.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (18/1 -414%) Anti Bridgie	18/1(-414%)	(6) Anti Bridgie 18/1, Posted fair form in winning both her starts over hurdles, latest a 5-runner novice at Kelso (20.9f, soft, 7/2) 37 days ago. More required on handicap debut here but remains with potential.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (15) (18/1 +36%) The Player Queen	18/1(+36%)	(15) The Player Queen 18/1, Point/bumper winner who built on earlier promise when doubling hurdles tally in 2m Musselburgh novice last February. Has disappointed in a couple of handicaps this term, however, and no surprise to see headgear now applied for first time.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (11) (33/1 +50%) Nikgarde	33/1(+50%)	(11) Nikgarde 33/1, Off the mark at Kelso in September 2020 and backed that up with good third at this course (20.8f) 2 months later. LIghtly raced and below that form since, though.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (9) (50/1 +60%) Rough Night	50/1(+60%)	(9) Rough Night 50/1, Succesful over hurdles and fences but not seen since pulled up here 2 years ago and can only be watched on return to action.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (3/1 +33%) Raddon Top	3/1(+33%)	(6) Raddon Top 3/1, Landed hat-trick of handicap hurdles here last term and promising chase debut when third over C&D 9 days ago, sticking to the task. More to come and looks a big player from the same mark.
2 2nd (3) (7/1 -27%) New Age Dawning	7/1(-27%)	(3) New Age Dawning 7/1, Winner of a bumper/novice hurdle in 2019. Resumed winning ways in 3-runner handicap chase in January 2022 and while he's been restricted to just 3 races since, last month's runner-up effort back at Ffos Las was a good one.
3 3rd (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Classic Ben	7.5/1(-7%)	(2) Classic Ben 7.5/1, Losing run is mounting up but he did end last term with pair of runners-up efforts over 30.7f here and returned with a good third at Uttoxeter (26f) in November. However, the assessor probably has him about right.
4 4th (7) (6.5/1 +35%) Don Herbager	6.5/1(+35%)	(7) Don Herbager 6.5/1, C&D winner who relished the step up in trip when recording a fourth success over fences at Bangor (29.6f) in February, never stronger than at the finish. Disappointing return to action behind Favori de Sivola here last month.
5th 5th (1) (5.5/1 -57%) Equus Dreamer	5.5/1(-57%)	(1) Equus Dreamer 5.5/1, Back on track in first-time cheekpieces on the back of a wind op when second of 7 at Carlisle in February (24.5f). Sound return from 9 months off when third over that C&D and he's not yet exposed.
6th 6th (8) (18/1 -13%) Premiumaccess	18/1(-13%)	(8) Premiumaccess 18/1, Posted best effort for some time when second of 11 in handicap chase at Fontwell (27.7f) in November. Unseated rider before the race took shape at Wincanton on Boxing Day.
7th 7th (4) (4/1 +0%) Favori De Sivola	4/1(+0%)	(4) Favori De Sivola 4/1, Represents in-form yard and he gained fifth chase win of his career over 30.7f here last month. Up 5 lb and down in trip but likely to give it another good go.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (8/1 +20%) Eclair Mag	8/1(+20%)	(5) Eclair Mag 8/1, Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen in January 2021. Record has been mixed since, still looking short of a change of pace in ref-fitted headgear at Bangor in November.

Form	Odds	Runs
(7) (12/1 -243%) Townhill	12/1(-243%)	(7) Townhill 12/1, Fetched £60,000 as a 4-y-o and he was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags in March. Yard boasts a fair record in bumpers and confidence behind this 5-y-o in the betting would look significant.
1 1st (8) (2.5/1 -53%) Willmount	2.5/1(-53%)	(8) Willmount 2.5/1, €46,000 3-y-o, £340,000 4-y-o. Dam, bumper winner, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 23f) West Bridge. Successful in a maiden point on sole appearance in that sphere and very much of interest on Rules debut.
2 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +61%) Luckie Seven	5.5/1(+61%)	(3) Luckie Seven 5.5/1, €30,000 3-y-o. Dam, 2¼m/2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stays 25f) Foxy Jacks. Yard does well in this type of race (21% strike rate in bumpers in recent seasons) and he needs close attention in the betting.
3 3rd (15) (25/1 +24%) Pertemps Diamond	25/1(+24%)	(15) Pertemps Diamond 25/1, There were some positives to glean from his introduction seventh in a 12-runner Huntingdon bumper (13.7f). Entitled to come on for that and not without an each-way squeak.
4 4th (16) (5.5/1 -22%) Luna Breeze	5.5/1(-22%)	(16) Luna Breeze 5.5/1, Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to 6 winners on Flat, including smart 6f-1m winner Beshaayir. Dam 6f-1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Yard hit the target with its sole previous runner in this sphere and, with Brian Hughes a positive booking, it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.
5th 5th (4) (14/1 +30%) Magical Escape	14/1(+30%)	(4) Magical Escape 14/1, Debut effort in a 2m Chepstow bumper wasn't completely devoid of promise but he looks a stayer in the making and is probably more one for the longer-term.
6th 6th (13) (12/1 +45%) Highfield Prince	12/1(+45%)	(13) Highfield Prince 12/1, Intrinsic gelding. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner. Yard 3-17 in bumpers in recent seasons and the market will likely serve as a guide with regard to expectations surrounding this 4-y-o on debut.
7th 7th (5) (8/1 +33%) Muskoka	8/1(+33%)	(5) Muskoka 8/1, £52,000 3-y-o. Closely related to 3 winners, including unreliable but useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Fortunate George. Interesting newcomer from a respected yard and the market should be revealing.
8th 8th (14) (28/1 +44%) Monty Nevett	28/1(+44%)	(14) Monty Nevett 28/1, Hasn't made much of an impact in bumpers at Aintree and most recently over this C&D. Yard also saddles newcomer Beep Beep Burrow.
9th 9th (9) (66/1 -100%) Quite The Getaway	66/1(-100%)	(9) Quite The Getaway 66/1, Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.
10th 10th (12) (7.5/1 +85%) Dan De Man Can	7.5/1(+85%)	(12) Dan De Man Can 7.5/1, Dandy Man gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Paris Dixie and Zpigall. Watch the betting for clues.
11th 11th (11) (20/1 +39%) Call Me Jack	20/1(+39%)	(11) Call Me Jack 20/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Pennine Cross. Yard occasionally strikes in this type of race but others make greater appeal on paper.
12th 12th (10) (80/1 +47%) Stargazer Belle	80/1(+47%)	(10) Stargazer Belle 80/1, Well down the pack in a Warwick bumper on debut and she's hard to warm to on the back of that.
13th 13th (17) (40/1 +60%) Moroccan Moon	40/1(+60%)	(17) Moroccan Moon 40/1, Pether's Moon filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 17f chase winner in France Safe Flight. Dam ran once in bumper out of useful 2m-2¼m hurdle winner Perle de Puce. Others appeal as more likely winners.
14th 14th (6) (150/1 +25%) Station Hill	150/1(+25%)	(6) Station Hill 150/1, Finished well held on each of his 3 starts to date and looks set for another struggle.

2 2nd (7) (14/1 -17%) Global Agreement	14/1(-17%)	(7) Global Agreement 14/1, Won 3 times last season, latest at Carlisle in February. However, produced another decidedly laboured effort retried in cheekpiece at Cartmel when last seen in June. Needs to bounce back after 7 months off, though has won fresh before.
3 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +42%) Lock Out	3.5/1(+42%)	(5) Lock Out 3.5/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and supplemented his bumper win with plenty in hand over 2 rivals on Newbury hurdles debut. Found life much tougher under a penalty at Kempton and shaped as if need of a step up in trip on his Lingfield handicap debut last time. Still early days.
4 4th (6) (3.33/1 -67%) Fanfaron Dino	3.33/1(-67%)	(6) Fanfaron Dino 3.33/1, Second handicap hurdle success when seeing off 9 rivals at Fontwell in March and returned with a good second over C&D (17f, soft) last month, edged out final 100 yds. Nudged up 3 lb but remains of interest.
5th 5th (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Mack The Man	4.5/1(-13%)	(1) Mack The Man 4.5/1, C&D winner who stepped up on his reappearance after another 9 weeks off when fourth of 9 in Fontwell handicap (17.7f, soft) 15 days ago. More needed but his mark has eased further.
\|F\| \|F\| (2) (6/1 +50%) Gingerbred	6/1(+50%)	(2) Gingerbred 6/1, Maiden pointer who showed a bit more than previously when fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 40/1) 19 days ago, plugging on. Makes handicap debut and not ruled out.

2 2nd (5) (2/1 -100%) Pentire Head	2/1(-100%)	(5) Pentire Head 2/1, €145,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Brother to temperamental but useful hurdler/chaser Mount Mews. Showed ability when third of 11 in Chepstow bumper (16f, good to firm) on NH debut in October and can be expected to improve on that.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Kayf Dancer	4/1(+33%)	(3) Kayf Dancer 4/1, Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Springwell Bay, Worth a second look in the market on debut.

Dam, ran once on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Rustarix. Yard had a bumper winner over Christmas so market check advised.

3 3rd (2) (2/1 +50%) Gunnerside	2/1(+50%)	(2) Gunnerside 2/1, Six wins in very productive 2021. Drew a blank in 6 outings last year but better signs final start and he's potentially very well handicapped.

7th 7th (6) (25/1 +11%) Robeam	25/1(+11%)	(6) Robeam 25/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 66/1) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal, for all that he's now eased in class off a reduced mark.
8th 8th (8) (66/1 +0%) Third Avenue	66/1(+0%)	(8) Third Avenue 66/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, soft, 300/1) on NH debut 38 days ago. Poor in this sphere and likely to struggle.

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.
