Races & Results Tuesday 19th April 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Gold Miner 1.1/1, Winning pointer shaping up well over hurdles. First-time cheekpieces, would probably have gone close but for a late error over C&D recently, bad mistake 2 out when still in front. Leading claims back under Brian Hughes.
2
2nd (3) (1.38/1 +31%) Robin Des Fox
1.38/1(+31%)
(3) Robin Des Fox 1.38/1, Fair hurdler (looks a chaser). Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 7 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 55 days ago. Has had a wind op. Should be competitive here down in trip.
3
3rd (4) (125/1 -89%) Teescomponentsfly
125/1(-89%)
(4) Teescomponentsfly 125/1, Fair Flat winner but well held in 2 novice hurdles this spring.
4
4th (5) (8/1 -33%) Robert Johnson
8/1(-33%)
(5) Robert Johnson 8/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Showed a bit on hurdles debut after 5 months off for this yard here 4 weeks ago and could improve up in trip. Cheekpieces left off.
5th
5th (1) (11/1 -38%) Dondiam
11/1(-38%)
(1) Dondiam 11/1, £50,000 buy after a point win but hasn't pulled up any trees in a couple of bumpers and Bangor novice hurdle. Work to do.
LTO Selection:
13:05 Sedgefield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(8) First Revolution 4.5/1, Modest maiden out of sorts when last seen in November. Has had a wind op. Could find easier openings.
2
2nd (4) (4/1 +33%) Ar Mest
4/1(+33%)
(4) Ar Mest 4/1, Exploits distinctly mixed for host of trainers this term. Outbattled in a match at Newcastle last month and unseated rider early at Bangor 10 days ago. On a good mark but tricky to support.
3
3rd (3) (2.75/1 +0%) Costly Diamond
2.75/1(+0%)
(3) Costly Diamond 2.75/1, Strong-travelling front-running chaser who has scored 3 times here. Out of sorts (tried to run out and unseated 4 out at Bangor recently) but can't be dismissed back at this venue.
4
4th (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Lucky Robin
5.5/1(-10%)
(7) Lucky Robin 5.5/1, C&D winner back in good form over fences here the last twice. One to consider with good-value conditional now up.
5th
5th (2) (3/1 -9%) Armattiekan
3/1(-9%)
(2) Armattiekan 3/1, Dual winner over fences this term and ran well when second at Carlisle 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
6th
6th (1) (22/1 -57%) Brelan D'As
22/1(-57%)
(1) Brelan D'As 22/1, Capitalised on falling mark when well backed and landing handicap chases at Kelso (17f) and Newcastle (2½m) in November. Poor since and probably isn't one to be interested in until the market speaks in his favour.
LTO Selection:
13:40 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Mokaatil 6/1, Landed 3 handicaps in 2021, including the Dash over C&D so, while he's yet to fire this year, he looks a major player with headgear back on and a promising apprentice booked.
2
2nd (7) (14/1 +0%) Thegreatestshowman
14/1(+0%)
(7) Thegreatestshowman 14/1, Well capable from this sort of mark and should strip fitter for his fifth at Southwell 18 days ago, so not a forlorn hope with cheekpieces refitted.
3
3rd (11) (50/1 -79%) Pettochside
50/1(-79%)
(11) Pettochside 50/1, Veteran who lost his way towards the end of last season. Returns on a handy mark as a result, though, and he's gone well fresh the past two seasons.
4
4th (1) (4/1 +50%) Nelson Gay
4/1(+50%)
(1) Nelson Gay 4/1, Useful sort who wasn't at his best when last seen but can't be completely dismissed with a useful claimer on board for his return.
5th
5th (10) (4/1 +27%) Electric Love
4/1(+27%)
(10) Electric Love 4/1, Scored twice at Yarmouth last year and ended the campaign in reasonable form. Should do better still as a 4yo, so makes plenty of appeal on reappearance.
6th
6th (4) (6/1 +20%) Just That Lord
6/1(+20%)
(4) Just That Lord 6/1, First run since leaving Michael Attwater and a career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Windsor in September then perhaps found the race coming too soon when last at Goodwood later in the month. Considered.
7th
7th (9) (16/1 -78%) Lucky Ava
16/1(-78%)
(9) Lucky Ava 16/1, Posted career best when winning 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City in February and not disgraced when third at Kempton last month. SHould give another good account back on turf.
8th
8th (8) (7/1 +56%) Ornate
7/1(+56%)
(8) Ornate 7/1, Trailblazer who was kept busy on AW earlier this year, finding only a progressive 4-y-o too good at Wolverhampton (5f) in January. Proved more miss than hit since though and others make greater appeal.
9th
9th (12) (40/1 -60%) Pop Dancer
40/1(-60%)
(12) Pop Dancer 40/1, Out of sorts when last seen and hard to fancy returning from 6 months off.
10th
10th (3) (6/1 -20%) Recon Mission
6/1(-20%)
(3) Recon Mission 6/1, C&D winner. 40/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 15 days ago. Won this from a higher mark last year, so dangerous to dismiss.
11th
11th (6) (18/1 -13%) Dark Shot
18/1(-13%)
(6) Dark Shot 18/1, Thrived last autumn but signed off with a lesser effort and now requires a big effort on his comeback if he's to take this. Others preferred.
12th
12th (2) (22/1 -144%) Newyorkstateofmind
22/1(-144%)
(2) Newyorkstateofmind 22/1, Likeable sort who finished last season with a couple of creditable efforts and may well make his presence felt if he's fully tuned up for this return.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) The Navigator 2/1, C&D winner who confirmed return to form when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (17.4f, good) 25 days ago, responding well. 6 lb rise fair and ought to remain competitive.
2
2nd (1) (2/1 +0%) Spiritofthenorth
2/1(+0%)
(1) Spiritofthenorth 2/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark over hurdles in facile style in a maiden at Wetherby (16f, soft) 19 days ago. That race rather fell apart but he still looks fairly treated back in a handicap.
3
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Enlighten
3.5/1(+13%)
(2) Enlighten 3.5/1, C&D winner in January who ran at least as well when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f, good to soft) 42 days ago. That performance is backed up by the clock, and he looks sure to go well despite a 4 lb rise.
4
4th (7) (12/1 +0%) Check My Pulse
12/1(+0%)
(7) Check My Pulse 12/1, Fair 2m hurdle winner who took a step back in the right direction when third in a 4-runner handicap here (17f) in September. Shaped as if amiss up in trip at Market Rasen on final outing but could get back on track following a break.
5th
5th (9) (28/1 -133%) Balkalin
28/1(-133%)
(9) Balkalin 28/1, Maiden who is lightly raced for his age but seemed beaten on merit when third of 6 in a novice hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, good to soft, 8/1) 15 days ago, tying up near finish. Others make more appeal for win purposes.
6th
6th (3) (66/1 -313%) Sonning
66/1(-313%)
(3) Sonning 66/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on the level and has matched that form over hurdles, scoring at Catterick in November. Stiff task when well held in listed juvenile at Musselburgh last time and has since left Alan King. Hood on for 1st time.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (6/1 +33%) Lou Trek
6/1(+33%)
(10) Lou Trek 6/1, Winning pointer who stopped quickly on his stable debut but fared much better after 4 months off when second of 8 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago, going with enthusiasm. More needed back in a handicap, however.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (40/1 -233%) The Some Dance Kid
40/1(-233%)
(5) The Some Dance Kid 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019 and down tools when pulled up in handicap chase (7/4) at Fakenham (16.3f) on final outing in November. Back over hurdles following another breathing operation.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Nahanni 2.25/1, Frankel colt who is 2 from 2 since an encouraging debut, staying on strongly to defy a penalty by a wide margin in a novice at Leicester 18 days ago. Sets the standard and is open to further improvement, so leading claims.
2
2nd (1) (11/1 +61%) Grand Alliance
11/1(+61%)
(1) Grand Alliance 11/1, Arrives with a progressive profile having scored in a novice at Chelmsford and followed up in a handicap at Doncaster despite hanging across the track. He's not sure to be suited by this track, though.
3
3rd (8) (7/1 +18%) Zain Sarinda
7/1(+18%)
(8) Zain Sarinda 7/1, Already has two wins to his name, again seeming a likeable type as he forged clear to defy a penalty in a novice at Wolverhampton 39 days ago. He can do better still and looks well worth his place.
4
4th (7) (4/1 +43%) United Nations
4/1(+43%)
(7) United Nations 4/1, Looked a good prospect when making all in Naas maiden last year and was far from disgraced (still green) when seventh in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket 6 months. Very much the type to make a better 3yo over this sort of trip.
5th
5th (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Mighty Ulysses
3.33/1(-48%)
(3) Mighty Ulysses 3.33/1, Ulysses colt who shot clear to make a winning start in a Yarmouth maiden 7 months ago. That effort was more about style than substance, but it's significant that his top yard has pitched him straight into listed company.
6th
6th (2) (22/1 -57%) Inverness
22/1(-57%)
(2) Inverness 22/1, Opened his account at the second attempt in Goodwood maiden 7 months ago but now faces a stiff task for his return.
7th
7th (6) (8.5/1 +58%) Teumessias Fox
8.5/1(+58%)
(6) Teumessias Fox 8.5/1, Improved markedly for the step up to this trip when off the mark at the third attempt at Newcastle 47 days ago, easing clear. This is clearly much tougher, but he possesses plenty of potential.
8th
8th (5) (22/1 +45%) Sheer Rocks
22/1(+45%)
(5) Sheer Rocks 22/1, Unbeaten in two novices last season, latterly at Bath 6 months ago, and step up to this trip should suit. He lacks the scope of some, however.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Epsom Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(5) Goddess Of Fire 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Off 131 days. Cheekpieces back on. Goes well at this venue but might need comeback.
2
2nd (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Dual Identity
2.25/1(+36%)
(3) Dual Identity 2.25/1, Won at Salisbury last summer under this rider. Off 7 months. Could have more to offer this year and worth a look down in trip on return.
3
3rd (2) (2.25/1 +44%) Sugauli
2.25/1(+44%)
(2) Sugauli 2.25/1, Course winner, also struck at Newbury last season. Off 7 months. Looks quirky but should pay his way this year.
4
4th (8) (9/1 -50%) Bronze River
9/1(-50%)
(8) Bronze River 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Below last successful mark.
5th
5th (7) (5/1 -67%) Alto Volante
5/1(-67%)
(7) Alto Volante 5/1, Lightly-raced winner, very well bred. Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas (same owners). Bit to prove.
6th
6th (1) (10/1 +0%) Old News
10/1(+0%)
(1) Old News 10/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 18 days ago, never a threat. Down in class.
7th
7th (4) (18/1 -64%) Muhalhel
18/1(-64%)
(4) Muhalhel 18/1, First past post at Leicester (claimer) and Nottingham (demoted after causing interference) in 2021. 9/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 47 days ago. Claims on previous second there now back on turf.
8th
8th (6) (12/1 +0%) Almaan
12/1(+0%)
(6) Almaan 12/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 6/1) 19 days ago, unsuited by way race developed.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Cilluirid 4.5/1, Already a three-time scorer here this season, twice over C&D, but he arrives on back of below-par third of 5 at Ludlow (20f) 27 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back.
2
2nd (3) (3/1 +40%) Road Warrior
3/1(+40%)
(3) Road Warrior 3/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago and also scored here in December. 12/1, pulled up in handicap at Carlisle (20f) 23 days ago, but he's no forlorn hope for in-form yard.
3
3rd (2) (1.38/1 +21%) Nietzsche
1.38/1(+21%)
(2) Nietzsche 1.38/1, Winless this term but he arrives in good nick, third of 7 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f) 18 days ago. Weighted to go go close off an easing mark.
4
4th (7) (14/1 -40%) Instant Replay
14/1(-40%)
(7) Instant Replay 14/1, 4-time C&D winner but he arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap at Bangor (17.4f) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with lots to prove.
5th
5th (6) (20/1 +0%) Victory Echo
20/1(+0%)
(6) Victory Echo 20/1, Scored at Catterick in February but he's an unreliable sort who was pulled up in handicap at Ayr (20.5f) 38 days ago. Others appeal more.
6th
6th (1) (6/1 +25%) Dr Sanderson
6/1(+25%)
(1) Dr Sanderson 6/1, Dual winner at Ayr and Doncaster before Christmas. Only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f) 28 days ago though, so he needs to get back on track.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Soto Sizzler 3.5/1, Not out of the first 2 in 4 previous visits here (all 1½m). Back to winning ways at Newmarket (1¼m) under Ryan Moore last autumn. Should be spot on for this after a decent reappearance run in listed company at Kempton last month. Cheekpieces on. Player.
2
2nd (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Achelois
3.33/1(-11%)
(2) Achelois 3.33/1, Took another step forward when recording win number 3 in good style at Goodwood (1¼m) last July. Creditable efforts in defeat to end 2021 and she's much respected on return for a stable which is no stranger to success in this contest.
3
3rd (3) (11/1 -10%) Love Is Golden
11/1(-10%)
(3) Love Is Golden 11/1, Sound reappearance when 2 lengths second of 12 over this trip at Doncaster last month. Possibly unsuited by very testing ground when running poorly at Pontefract since.
4
4th (6) (11/1 +21%) Bad Company
11/1(+21%)
(6) Bad Company 11/1, Bagged a win at Sandown last August and ended 2021 with a good second at Newmarket in first-time cheekpieces. The headgear was absent when he finished a respectable sixth on his Lingfield return but it's back in place now.
5th
5th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Fairmac
6.5/1(+28%)
(5) Fairmac 6.5/1, Tough front runner who wasn't at hs best when third of 4 on last week's heavy-ground Ripon reappearance but he could be sharper for the run and this return to a sounder surface could also help.
6th
6th (7) (2.75/1 +21%) Arenas Del Tiempo
2.75/1(+21%)
(7) Arenas Del Tiempo 2.75/1, Ended last season with a win (under Hollie Doyle) and second over C&D. Good efforts when narrowly denied on AW on his last 2 starts. Bold show likely back at venue which clearly suits.
7th
7th (8) (250/1 -67%) Starry Eyes
250/1(-67%)
(8) Starry Eyes 250/1, Has suffered 12 defeats since her 1m AW success at Lingfield last September. Well held latest and impossible to make a case for here from 14 lb out of handicap.
8th
8th (4) (7/1 -8%) Vulcan
7/1(-8%)
(4) Vulcan 7/1, Progressed into a useful handicapper for Harry Dunlop last season. Didn't get close to that level when beaten favourite in a pair of hurdles for Dr Richard Newland this year but interesting back on the Flat for another new stable.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Adjani 2.75/1, Foaled February 1. 23,000 gns yearling, Kessaar filly. Closely related to 5f-7f winner Sebastian Bach and half-sister to winner in Czech Republic by Bushranger.
1
1st (2) (8/1 +27%) Carmela
8/1(+27%)
(2) Carmela 8/1, Foaled March 10. £37,000 yearling, Tasleet filly. Half-sister to useful 6f winner Golden Warrior. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 8.5f) Jira.
2
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +44%) Jungle Time
4.5/1(+44%)
(3) Jungle Time 4.5/1, Foaled January 26. Jungle Cat filly. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Cairn Gorm.
3
3rd (4) (4/1 +60%) Just Janet
4/1(+60%)
(4) Just Janet 4/1, Foaled January 9. 55,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly. Dam 6f-7f winner out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Tropical Paradise. Noteworthy newcomer.
4
4th (6) (33/1 +18%) Sassy Redhead
33/1(+18%)
(6) Sassy Redhead 33/1, Foaled March 7. 8,000 gns yearling, Harry Angel filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 11f-2m winner Parivash. Eighth of 11 in minor event (22/1) at Leicester (5f, soft) on debut 18 days ago, not clear run. Needs big step forward.
5th
5th (7) (3/1 -60%) Soleil Blanc
3/1(-60%)
(7) Soleil Blanc 3/1, Foaled February 5. €35,000 foal. Fast Company filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Simmie and 2-y-o 6f winner Ballyconneely Bay. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. 12/1, second of 11 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good) on debut 8 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Player.
6th
6th (8) (14/1 -40%) Zarrafina
14/1(-40%)
(8) Zarrafina 14/1, Foaled April 16. Oasis Dream filly. Closely related to useful winner up to 6f Out of The Flames and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Little Kim and 2-y-o 6f winner War Storm. Another interesting newcomer for George Boughey.
7th
7th (5) (12/1 -260%) Miami Bay
12/1(-260%)
(5) Miami Bay 12/1, Foaled April 17. 47,000 gns yearling, Tamayuz filly. Sister to smart/unreliable winner up to 1m Tupi and half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner Camdeboo and 6f-1m winner Tukhoom. Dam 1m winner. Interesting newcomer.
LTO Selection:
15:05 Yarmouth Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) Adherence 2/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019 but stepped up on stable debut when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, soft, 12/1) 25 days ago. Player up 3 lb.
2
2nd (2) (8/1 -45%) Thatbeatsbanagher
8/1(-45%)
(2) Thatbeatsbanagher 8/1, Course winner in February who was not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 22 days ago. Should remain competitive.
3
3rd (1) (28/1 -300%) Dis Donc
28/1(-300%)
(1) Dis Donc 28/1, Capitalised on the drop into selling company in 4-runner affair at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 19 days ago, digging deep. Not sure to be in the same form.
4
4th (6) (6.5/1 +35%) Goldrapper
6.5/1(+35%)
(6) Goldrapper 6.5/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, possibly still needing the run. Not ruled out from easing mark.
5th
5th (11) (50/1 -100%) Redesdale Angel
50/1(-100%)
(11) Redesdale Angel 50/1, Well beaten in bumpers and similarly little in the way of promise in maiden/novice hurdles. Improvement needed now handicapping.
6th
6th (5) (5/1 +29%) Annies Prayer
5/1(+29%)
(5) Annies Prayer 5/1, Maiden who had been shaping up quite well prior to a poor run at Wetherby in January. Well backed and disappointed for a second successive start at Carlisle, so has something to prove at present. Up in trip.
7th
7th (3) (11/1 +39%) Franks Fancy
11/1(+39%)
(3) Franks Fancy 11/1, Kelso novice winner who arrives out of sorts, only ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good) 25 days ago.
8th
8th (4) (14/1 -27%) Calliope
14/1(-27%)
(4) Calliope 14/1, Ran no sort of race at Kelso (18.1f, heavy) when last seen in December, but she's usually reliable, so is the type to bounce back after a break/wind operation.
9th
9th (10) (12/1 +45%) Arcanja
12/1(+45%)
(10) Arcanja 12/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers last season. Disappointing so far over hurdles, though suffered a tack issue when pulled up over C&D last time. Cheekpieces back on.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (11/1 -144%) Punta Prima
11/1(-144%)
(8) Punta Prima 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules who ran best race over hurdles when third of 6 in 17f novice at Carlisle 40 days ago. Makes handicap debut up in trip fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (11/1 +8%) Rumble B
11/1(+8%)
(7) Rumble B 11/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs and was again below form at Wetherby (24.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Visor back on.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Going Gone 3.33/1, Improved in handicaps in 2021, winning C&D and Newmarket contests. No surprise to see him go well on return.
2
2nd (7) (28/1 -12%) Mascat
28/1(-12%)
(7) Mascat 28/1, Useful Flat handicapper who struck over hurdles in October. This sort of trip should suit and he could make his presence felt if ready to roll.
3
3rd (4) (7/1 +18%) Solent Gateway
7/1(+18%)
(4) Solent Gateway 7/1, Improved model last year, winning handicaps here and at Chester at up to 2m. Gone well fresh but needs more to defy this mark on first start for Hugo Palmer.
4
4th (6) (5/1 +9%) Parachute
5/1(+9%)
(6) Parachute 5/1, Dual winner who was placed in red-hot renewal of the King George V handicap over this trip at Royal Ascot last year. Disappointing on return at Doncaster having been gelded but step back up in distance will help if he can revive.
5th
5th (8) (5/1 +17%) Year Of The Dragon
5/1(+17%)
(8) Year Of The Dragon 5/1, Kempton winner who has returned with a string of good efforts this year, shaping as if this sort of trip would suit at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Worth a look.
6th

3.5/1(-17%)
(7) Dream By Day 3.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, raced freely but still came in a good fourth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 6/1). That form worked out well, so he merits serious consideration now he goes handicapping having been gelded.

3/1(+33%)
(3) Wheesht 3/1, Has failed to build on her chasing debut third at Worcester, only fifth of 7 in Wetherby handicap (19.4f) 82 days ago. Well weighted if back on song here.

125/1(+17%)
(6) Message To Martha 125/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Pulled up in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, 100/1) 62 days ago, so others make a lot more appeal.

3rd (3) (20/1 +9%) Jobesgreen Girl
20/1(+9%)
(3) Jobesgreen Girl 20/1, Passing Glance mare who sent off at 11/1 and offered little at Ludlow 99 days ago. Slightly off-putting that she's quickly had a tongue strap fitted, too.

2/1(+43%)

2.25/1(+25%)
(5) Pearl Beach 2.25/1, Bounced back to her best to resume winning ways in 12-runner handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) in July. Reappears from a 5 lb higher mark but still needs taking seriously.

5.5/1(-38%)

12/1(-167%)
(2) Super Duper Sam 12/1, Bumper winner on debut and good efforts in 2m maiden hurdles in the mud first 2 starts this year. Disappointing over further at Plumpton 5 weeks ago and needs more now handicapping.

3/1(-9%)
(2) Ted's Friend 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Plumpton in November. Only eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) 80 days ago though, so he needs to bounce back.

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.
