(17) Whiskey Times 250/1, 300/1, tenth in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f) on NH debut 21 months ago. Very hard to warm to on her comeback run.
LTO Selection:
12:50 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Per Vino Veritas 2.5/1, Modest form over hurdles to date. Disappointing at Exeter when last seen but could make his presence felt if able to bounce back after 7 months off.
(6) (3.33/1 +5%) Baliyad
3.33/1(+5%)
(6) Baliyad 3.33/1, 7-y-o who bagged a Stratford selling handicap in September and has run well in defeat on his last 2 starts (claimer at Ludlow 8 days ago). Should give another good account.
(1) (4.5/1 -13%) Vazir
4.5/1(-13%)
(1) Vazir 4.5/1, Fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner but hasn't yet matched that form over hurdles. Not discredited at Huntingdon on return and now fitted with cheekpieces down in grade.
(10) (6/1 +76%) Modreeney
6/1(+76%)
(10) Modreeney 6/1, Fair Irish bumper winner, but little impact in 5 starts over hurdles for current yard. Tongue tied for seasonal debut but hard to make a case for.
(9) (10/1 +29%) Just Deegeeteebee
10/1(+29%)
(9) Just Deegeeteebee 10/1, Unplaced in bumpers for Dai Burchell and fared no better so far over hurdles. Tongue tied for handicap debut.
(4) (10/1 -33%) Alghazaal
10/1(-33%)
(4) Alghazaal 10/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and while he's not proven as good over hurdles he has shaped a bit better than the bare result on both outings this season. Not discounted in a weak affair.
(5) (16/1 -14%) Force De Frap
16/1(-14%)
(5) Force De Frap 16/1, Fair form over hurdles and fences in France and first signs of encouragement in Britain over at Southwell last month, not settling but showing a bit in front for a fair way. Dropped another 5 lb and back down in trip now.
(8) (18/1 +36%) Jack The Farmer
18/1(+36%)
(8) Jack The Farmer 18/1, Poor hurdler who has been let down by his jumping in recent starts. Unlikely to make an impact.
(7) (22/1 -120%) Ya Know Yaseff
22/1(-120%)
(7) Ya Know Yaseff 22/1, Successful sole start in Irish points. Yet to achieve much over hurdles but could prove a different proposition now handicapping from a lowly mark.
(12) (33/1 +34%) Bells Of Rutland
33/1(+34%)
(12) Bells Of Rutland 33/1, Limited maiden hurdler who is set for another struggle.
(13) (33/1 +34%) Christopher Clive
33/1(+34%)
(13) Christopher Clive 33/1, No sign of encouragement for Jeremy Scott and hasn't been seen for 9 months. Hard to make a case for.
(14) (66/1 -371%) Angus De Bull
66/1(-371%)
(14) Angus De Bull 66/1, First run since leaving John O'Shea when last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Out of the weights and yet to show anything but stable is going well.
(2) (66/1 -65%) Mr Sociable
66/1(-65%)
(2) Mr Sociable 66/1, Modest form at best over hurdles but his profile is far from convincing and he has a 19-month absence to overcome.
(11) (66/1 -65%) Alfa Dawn
66/1(-65%)
(11) Alfa Dawn 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Phillip Makin, but hasn't shown much so far over obstacles. Returns to hurdling after 8 months off.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(14) Bluebell Diva 3.5/1, 20/1, very good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 16 days ago. Merits consideration.
(10) (4/1 -14%) Doyen Ta Win
4/1(-14%)
(10) Doyen Ta Win 4/1, Second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy, 14/1) 39 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Back down in trip. Has good chance on form.
(6) (6.5/1 +68%) Getaway Katie
6.5/1(+68%)
(6) Getaway Katie 6.5/1, One win from 22 NH runs. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy) 23 days ago. Can make presence felt.
(5) (9/1 -38%) Crowsatedappletart
9/1(-38%)
(5) Crowsatedappletart 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fell 10th in novice chase (50/1) at this course (20.3f, good to soft) on debut over fences. Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. No forlorn hope.
(4) (11/1 +8%) Seangoell
11/1(+8%)
(4) Seangoell 11/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 16 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021.
(9) (12/1 +45%) Ranger Billy
12/1(+45%)
(9) Ranger Billy 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs a couple of these to falter.
(12) (12/1 +52%) Galmar
12/1(+52%)
(12) Galmar 12/1, 125/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John J. Walsh. More is required on handicap hurdle debut.
(13) (14/1 -27%) Slieve Bearnagh
14/1(-27%)
(13) Slieve Bearnagh 14/1, Modest Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Twelfth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 200/1) 26 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer.
(1) (16/1 +0%) Sean Og
16/1(+0%)
(1) Sean Og 16/1, Below form thirteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft, 100/1) 9 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should still progress.
(15) (16/1 +20%) Warm In Gorey
16/1(+20%)
(15) Warm In Gorey 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft) 48 days ago. Needs more on his handicap hurdle debut.
(2) (16/1 +36%) Mcgrath From Clune
16/1(+36%)
(2) Mcgrath From Clune 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 16/1) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with work to do.
(8) (20/1 +39%) Our Dylan
20/1(+39%)
(8) Our Dylan 20/1, Pulled up in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 40/1) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed.
(3) (25/1 +0%) Oskar High
25/1(+0%)
(3) Oskar High 25/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 40/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.
(11) (28/1 -180%) Drumbaragh
28/1(-180%)
(11) Drumbaragh 28/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Down Royal in May. 6/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 179 days ago, weakening quickly 3 out. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort.
(3) Ladronne 2.5/1, Very much regained progressive thread over fences of late, scoring narrowly at Wetherby (19.4f) and relishing the step back up to 25f to follow up at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Unlikely he's finished winning yet on that evidence.
(7) (2.75/1 +17%) Bretney
2.75/1(+17%)
(7) Bretney 2.75/1, Pretty reliable since switched to fences and deservedly notched second success in this sphere when accounting for 10 rivals at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, going on again 4 out and ridden out. Expected to go well again.
(1) (3/1 +0%) Monbeg Genius
3/1(+0%)
(1) Monbeg Genius 3/1, Point winner who tasted success twice in maiden/novice hurdles last term (at up to 23.6f). Lacked sharpness back from 7 months off/following wind op sent chasing at Aintree (19.9f) 33 days ago but feasible to expect improvement.
(5) (4/1 +20%) Half Track
4/1(+20%)
(5) Half Track 4/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who fell first on chase debut at Carlisle in October and again failed to complete (through no fault of his own) when hampered and unseating at Kelso 2 weeks ago. Remains early days at least.
(6) (10/1 +55%) Who's In The Box
10/1(+55%)
(6) Who's In The Box 10/1, Winless since 2020 and, having been well backed, failed to complete for third time from last 5 starts when falling in race won by Ladronne at Catterick (25.2f) 3 weeks ago. Still, not out of things from this sort of mark.
(4) (22/1 +12%) Indian Brave
22/1(+12%)
(4) Indian Brave 22/1, Dual chase winner during 2020 and proved he retains plenty of ability back from 2 years off when runner-up at Wetherby (19.4f) in March. However, he was well held when falling 4 out on return at that venue in October. Not the easiest to weigh up.
(2) (33/1 -288%) Stylish Moment
33/1(-288%)
(2) Stylish Moment 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best for Eoin Doyle. Shaped as if as good as ever on third start for present yard when third over fences at Carlisle (24.5f) in October but not in same form tackling 31.5f at Musselburgh since. Quickly drops back in trip now.
LTO Selection:
13:17 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Baddesley 3.33/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt when making virtually all the running in a Plumpton (20.5f) handicap. 4 lb rise fair enough but this demands a clear career-best.
(2) (4/1 +20%) Haas Boy
4/1(+20%)
(2) Haas Boy 4/1, Fair form in bumpers and made a smooth transition to hurdling when winning maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f) in March. Subsequent second to Not What It Seems (twice a winner again since) in Sedgefield novice was no backward step and merits respect now handicapping in a first-time tongue strap.
(9) (4.5/1 -13%) Wavering Down
4.5/1(-13%)
(9) Wavering Down 4.5/1, Proved better than ever when striking on return at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in October and wasn't disgraced when third at Fontwell next time. Eased slightly in class here and he's entitled to have a say in the finish.
(6) (5/1 -25%) Northern Poet
5/1(-25%)
(6) Northern Poet 5/1, Bumper winner who opened his hurdles account back from an 18-month absence in a 20.5f Plumpton novice. On a fair mark back in handicap company and he has to be high on the shortlist.
(4) (8/1 +0%) Charlie's Glance
8/1(+0%)
(4) Charlie's Glance 8/1, Newbury bumper winner who justified strong support on handicap debut at Worcester in April. Fair efforts both starts since returning to action last month but will need to raise his game in order to play a leading role here.
(8) (9/1 +0%) Ballycamus
9/1(+0%)
(8) Ballycamus 9/1, Point winner who made a successful handicap debut over 2¾m at Hereford on final start of last season. Bad mistake 2 out proved costly on return at Fontwell but he's probably no more than averagely-treated in any case.
(1) (18/1 -13%) Ernesto
18/1(-13%)
(1) Ernesto 18/1, Capitalised on a drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Hereford (25.5f) in October. Too much on his plate in a Class 2 Cheltenham handicap next time (reportedly broke a blood vessel) and this is more realistic but others preferred all the same.
(3) (22/1 -10%) Crossing The Bar
22/1(-10%)
(3) Crossing The Bar 22/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who came good at the fourth time of asking in this sphere at Ffos Las (2½m) in February. However, poor efforts since, including on return/debut for new yard at Worcester. Tongue strap applied.
(5) (28/1 -27%) Betty's Banjo
28/1(-27%)
(5) Betty's Banjo 28/1, 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 last month's handicap bow at Exeter, however.
(10) (40/1 +0%) Deer Hunter
40/1(+0%)
(10) Deer Hunter 40/1, Showed ability in this sphere for Harry Whittington during early stages of 2020/21 campaign but he was well held on debut for this yard in an AW bumper when last seen 23 months ago.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Rubaud 0.62/1, Useful performer on the Flat in France and improved markedly from his hurdling debut when landing a 7-runner novice over C&D last month. Plenty more to come and should be involved.
(2) (1.38/1 -10%) Brentford Hope
1.38/1(-10%)
(2) Brentford Hope 1.38/1, Smart Flat winner who was runner-up in a novice at Ludlow on hurdling debut. Open to improvement, and looks to have plenty in favour on less testing ground. Strong claims.
(11) (14/1 +30%) Sassified
14/1(+30%)
(11) Sassified 14/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11f) in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh and shaped as if in need of the run on after 13 months off when sixth in a novice at Market Rasen on hurdling debut. Should improve.
(6) (25/1 -213%) Invincible De Mee
25/1(-213%)
(6) Invincible De Mee 25/1, Well-bred sort who showed ability in French bumpers but is likely to have an educational start to hurdling.
(7) (40/1 -100%) Let It Shine
40/1(-100%)
(7) Let It Shine 40/1, Just modest form in a pair of bumpers and no impact in a novice at Huntingdon on first go over hurdles.
(10) (50/1 +24%) Sailed Away
50/1(+24%)
(10) Sailed Away 50/1, Made frame sole start in point bumper and shaped with some encouragement on Rules debut at Bangor in September. Has left Stuart Edmunds ahead of hurdle debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
(8) (66/1 +0%) Little Pi
66/1(+0%)
(8) Little Pi 66/1, Dunaden gelding who showed limited encouragement whrn down the field in a bumper at Bangor on debut 44 days ago. Others preferred.
(12) (80/1 +20%) The Rain King
80/1(+20%)
(12) The Rain King 80/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f), successful at Windsor in May but has been below form since and well held first two starts over hurdles.
(13) (100/1 +0%) Nous Esperons
100/1(+0%)
(13) Nous Esperons 100/1, Beaten a fair way on sole start for David Pipe in a Wincanton bumper in January and down the field in a novice at Exeter on first go over hurdles.
(4) (150/1 -50%) Gun Runner Cash
150/1(-50%)
(4) Gun Runner Cash 150/1, From a successful jumps family and perfect start when landing a Perth bumper for Gordon Elliott in April. Below that level since, including for new connections, and plenty on second hurdling start.
(9) (150/1 -50%) Russies Dream
150/1(-50%)
(9) Russies Dream 150/1, Little encouragement in a couple of bumpers and off a year prior to this hurdling debut, so hard to make a case for.
(3) (150/1 +0%) Clay
150/1(+0%)
(3) Clay 150/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Richard Hannon (stays 1¼m) but lost his form in that sphere and stable/hurdling debut in a novice at Chepstow was uninspiring.
(5) (250/1 -67%) Instant Gambler
250/1(-67%)
(5) Instant Gambler 250/1, Maiden Irish pointer who was only eighth in a C&D novice on completed start over hurdles. Others preferred.
(14) (250/1 -25%) Shee's A Stella
250/1(-25%)
(14) Shee's A Stella 250/1, No promise so far in bumpers/over hurdles.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Eklat De Rire 2.25/1, Very smart chaser. Latest win in chase at Wexford in October 2021. 13/2, below form tenth of 18 in handicap chase at Gowran (25f, soft). Off 10 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Considered.
(8) (2.5/1 +25%) Ronald Pump
2.5/1(+25%)
(8) Ronald Pump 2.5/1, Useful chaser. 18/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap chase at Listowel (24f, good) 78 days ago, slowly away. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith.
(2) (3/1 +25%) Diol Ker
3/1(+25%)
(2) Diol Ker 3/1, Useful chaser. Below form ninth of 17 in handicap chase (11/1) at Cork (28f, heavy) 32 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration.
(4) (5/1 +69%) Floueur
5/1(+69%)
(4) Floueur 5/1, Useful chaser. Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, good to soft, 33/1) 18 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Needs headgear to perk him up.
(7) (10/1 +44%) Robinstown
10/1(+44%)
(7) Robinstown 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler. C&D winner.12/1, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
(6) (20/1 -67%) Milan Native
20/1(-67%)
(6) Milan Native 20/1, First run since leaving Mrs Denise Foster when pulled up in handicap chase (12/1) at Fairyhouse (29f, good), dropping away soon after. Off 12 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Something to prove.
(5) (33/1 +18%) Jimmy Jimmy
33/1(+18%)
(5) Jimmy Jimmy 33/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f in bumpers. 50/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (20f, soft) 26 days ago. Up against it.
(1) Imperial Merlin 0.4/1, Bumper winner in the spring and made a successful start to his hurdling career at Catterick (19f, good to soft) last month. More to come and the one to beat.
(2) (2.5/1 -11%) Supreme Gift
2.5/1(-11%)
(2) Supreme Gift 2.5/1, Irish point winner. Placed in bumpers last season and returned to win a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in November. Had a bit in hand and should have more to offer.
(5) (12/1 -33%) Macavity
12/1(-33%)
(5) Macavity 12/1, Won last 2 of 3 starts in points and also landed an Aintree bumper in May. Better effort in 19f Wetherby novice hurdles for this yard when third of 14 last month.
(4) (80/1 -60%) I'm Dougal Rocks
80/1(-60%)
(4) I'm Dougal Rocks 80/1, Has made little impact in a pair of bumpers. Goes up in trip for hurdle debut.
(3) (80/1 -21%) Brian's Jet
80/1(-21%)
(3) Brian's Jet 80/1, No better than modest form when placed on the second of 2 outings in bumpers and well-held sixth on his 2m course hurdle debut 12 days ago. This significantly longer trip needs to spark plenty of improvement.
LTO Selection:
13:52 Newcastle Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Tarahumara 0.83/1, Built on promising hurdling bow when easily taking 14-runner novice at Chepstow (16f, good, 9/4) in April. Looks sure to progress and holds obvious claims on switch to chasing.
(2) (3.33/1 +0%) Chanceux
3.33/1(+0%)
(2) Chanceux 3.33/1, Dual novice hurdle winner (at around 2m) last winter who was pulled up on 2 of his 3 starts in handicaps after, quickish ground possibly against him at Fontwell in March. May have needed last month's return and worth a check in the market on chase debut.
(1) (5/1 +0%) Cotton End
5/1(+0%)
(1) Cotton End 5/1, Prolific in handicap hurdles in 2020-21, winning 5 times and shaped well after 10 months off in Hereford handicap in October. Faced a stiff task on chase debut at Huntingdon since but was somewhat disappointing nonetheless.
(4) (12/1 +0%) Blazer's Mill
12/1(+0%)
(4) Blazer's Mill 12/1, Went backwards for Olly Murphy after scoring over hurdles in 2020 and no signs of revival for new yard at Southwell last month, finishing well-beaten third of 5 in handicap chase (15.8f, good). Tongue strap on first time/cheekpieces back on.
(5) (18/1 +0%) Tremwedge
18/1(+0%)
(5) Tremwedge 18/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Alan King but has lost his form, well beaten in 4 runs over fences for current trainer this season. 1 lb out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:
14:00 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Midnight Midge 2/1, Made a winning start for the Philip Hobbs stable in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, although he was fortunate, held in second when left in the lead at the last. Mark unchanged.
(5) (2.75/1 -10%) Huelgoat
2.75/1(-10%)
(5) Huelgoat 2.75/1, Won first 4 starts over fences. Lost his unbeaten record when third over 23f here last month, a blunder 4 out costing him momentum at a crucial stage. Back down in trip. Might be worth another chance.
(1) (2.75/1 +8%) Zacony Rebel
2.75/1(+8%)
(1) Zacony Rebel 2.75/1, 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 since. Respected.
(3) (8.5/1 -42%) Quoi De Neuf
8.5/1(-42%)
(3) Quoi De Neuf 8.5/1, Won this race off 4 lb lower 12 months ago but he'll need to leave last month's disappointing course reappearance over hurdles behind if he's to repeat last year's success. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue strap.
(4) (11/1 -10%) Voice Of Calm
11/1(-10%)
(4) Voice Of Calm 11/1, Triple hurdle winner. Sound start to her chase career when second in a mares' novice at Worcester in October and it might be worth forgiving her subsequent run in a Bangor listed race. This more realistic.
(2) (18/1 -13%) Kauto The King
18/1(-13%)
(2) Kauto The King 18/1, Pretty good strike rate over fences in recent seasons but pulled up on his return from a break in October.

(2) Galactica 16/1, Fairly useful1m4f Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles and patiently ridden when eye-catching eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Thurles (15.7f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Up in trip now going into handicaps and merits serious consideration.
(5) (25/1 +24%) Mister Rocket Man
25/1(+24%)
(5) Mister Rocket Man 25/1, 16/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (16.1f, good) 177 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eric McNamara. Hooded for 1st time. Likely to improve.
(9) (25/1 +38%) One Horse Army

33/1(+18%)
(14) Legacy Of Dreams 33/1, 8/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy) 39 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
(16) (40/1 +0%) Made In The Woods
40/1(+0%)
(16) Made In The Woods 40/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 16/1) 16 days ago. Others appeal more.
(6) (50/1 +24%) Magnetic Pulse
50/1(+24%)
(6) Magnetic Pulse 50/1, 33/1, eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (16.5f, heavy) 42 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut and needs to step forward.
(15) (80/1 -100%) Eversosaucy
80/1(-100%)
(15) Eversosaucy 80/1, 22/1, seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) 159 days ago. Remains a maiden after 23 NH runs.
(7) (100/1 -100%) Ashtarak
100/1(-100%)
(7) Ashtarak 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twenty fourth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 250/1) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time for handicap hurdle debut.
(1) Since Day One 0.8/1, Multiple winner over hurdles last season and made successful start in this sphere when taking Ayr handicap (16.5f, good to soft) in October. Likely more to come yet.
(2) (1.75/1 +30%) Miah Grace
1.75/1(+30%)
(2) Miah Grace 1.75/1, Useful hurdler over 2m in 2019/20, successful 3 times. Some good runs in 2020/21 and back from 19 months off when promising second on Bangor chase debut (17.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Entitled to build on that.
(3) (6.5/1 +13%) Nero Rock
6.5/1(+13%)
(3) Nero Rock 6.5/1, Took a while to get off the mark over fences but it all clicked during the spring with back-to-back Sedgefield wins in May. However, limitations seemingly exposed since and looks vulnerable to less exposed types.
(4) (50/1 -25%) Dakota Moirette
50/1(-25%)
(4) Dakota Moirette 50/1, Punchestown maiden hurdle success for Gordon Elliott back in December 2016 remains his sole victory from 38 starts under Rules and showed little on return at Wetherby last month.
LTO Selection:
14:22 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) Manintheshadows 2.25/1, Pulled up on sole start in this sphere at Uttoxeter last December but winner of all 3 completed starts over hurdles since, including on return at Hereford (25.5f). Big player if his jumping passes the test at the second attempt over fences.
(3) (4.5/1 +0%) Ballaquane
4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Ballaquane 4.5/1, Bettered hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when landing a 4-runner Fontwell handicap (21.6f) on return last month. 3 lb rise fair enough but he doesn't look entirely straightforward and is probably worth taking on this time.
(7) (7.5/1 +0%) Motown Lake
7.5/1(+0%)
(7) Motown Lake 7.5/1, Successful in handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Ffos Las earlier this year. Good run of form came to a halt when only sixth behind High Counsel at Southwell in July but leading claims if able to bounce back following a break.
(8) (8/1 +0%) High Counsel
8/1(+0%)
(8) High Counsel 8/1, Veteran who has shown there's plenty of life in him this season, scoring at Warwick in May and Southwell in July. Good third ina Uttoxeter handicap (3m) following a break and needs considering off 1 lb lower here.
(1) (8/1 +0%) Lyrical Genius
8/1(+0%)
(1) Lyrical Genius 8/1, Point/bumper winner who looked all stamina as he made a winning hurdles debut in 21f Doncaster novice last November. However, little impact in 4 subsequent starts, including on chase debut following a wind op at Hereford.
(5) (9/1 -6%) Pilot Show
9/1(-6%)
(5) Pilot Show 9/1, Point winner who shaped up well in a couple of races over hurdles last term. However, efforts so far this season have lacked spark and hopes now pinned on the switch to fences sparking an upturn.
(2) (9/1 -6%) Guillemot
9/1(-6%)
(2) Guillemot 9/1, Scored over hurdles at Ascot in impressive fashion in February but that effort is bookmarked with non-completions and he hasn't shown much of an aptitude for this game so far.
(6) (9/1 +0%) Versatility
9/1(+0%)
(6) Versatility 9/1, Temperamental sort who continues out of sorts and his latest effort at Stratford was particularly poor. Now tried in a tongue strap.
(9) (50/1 +0%) Puppet Warrior
50/1(+0%)
(9) Puppet Warrior 50/1, Some decent bits and pieces of form to his name but records stands at 0-23 overall and he was well held at Chepstow last month.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Ilanz 1.62/1, Bumper winner who left his first 2 hurdle runs behind when making a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen a week ago. Escapes a penalty as that was a conditional jockeys event. His claims are obvious.
(1) (2.5/1 -11%) Hyland
2.5/1(-11%)
(1) Hyland 2.5/1, Won 2 handicaps in the spring. Still fairly low mileage so could easily have more to come for his leading stable. Should go well if ready to roll after 6 months off.
(3) (2.5/1 +29%) Magistrato
2.5/1(+29%)
(3) Magistrato 2.5/1, Fairly useful winning juvenile hurdler last season. Pulled too hard when well beaten in Ascot handicap on reappearance. That could have knocked some of the freshness out of him and no surprise if he fares a lot better this time.
(2) (8/1 +6%) On To Victory
8/1(+6%)
(2) On To Victory 8/1, Reached the frame in 3 handicap hurdles last winter but he hasn't pulled up any trees on the Flat this year ahead of this return to hurdles.
LTO Selection:
14:38 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(5) Womalko 0.83/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. First run since leaving Robert Tyner when third of 16 in handicap chase (4/5) at this course (20.4f, heavy) 21 days ago. Open to progress.
(3) (2.25/1 +10%) Happy Dreams
2.25/1(+10%)
(3) Happy Dreams 2.25/1, Promising individual. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 4/1, didn't need to improve to win 15-runner handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft) 26 days ago. The one to beat.
(4) (8/1 +27%) Berliet Express
8/1(+27%)
(4) Berliet Express 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Gowran in September. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase (18/1) at Thurles (18f, good to soft) 7 days ago.
(2) (12/1 +0%) Carrolls Cottage
12/1(+0%)
(2) Carrolls Cottage 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Last of 7 in handicap chase (8/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 12 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
(1) (14/1 -87%) Serenity Grove
14/1(-87%)
(1) Serenity Grove 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in novice chase at Tipperary (16.8f, soft) 144 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut.
(6) (28/1 +0%) Pennywell Girl
28/1(+0%)
(6) Pennywell Girl 28/1, First run since leaving S. Curling when 22/1, pulled up in handicap chase won by Happy Dreams at Limerick (19.4f, soft) 46 days ago, dropping away end of back straight.
(15) My Macho Man 2.5/1, Yet to taste success following 19 attempts over hurdles but there were certainly positives to glean from his effort in a C&D handicap on debut for new yard last month when 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Able to race off correct mark this time and merits respect.
(8) (3.33/1 +82%) Six One Nine
3.33/1(+82%)
(8) Six One Nine 3.33/1, Successful over fences here in February and returned to form when runner-up in a Musselburgh handicap chase last month. Record in this sphere is hardly inspiring, though, and it's best to look elsewhere.
(1) (5/1 +55%) Copper Fox
5/1(+55%)
(1) Copper Fox 5/1, Didn't need to improve when winning mediocre Uttoxeter maiden in June and put in his place switched to handicap company in 2 subsequent starts. Will need to find improvement from somewhere if he's to emerge on top here.
(7) (6.5/1 +35%) Russian Virtue
6.5/1(+35%)
(7) Russian Virtue 6.5/1, Regressed following promising debut in this sphere last term and he's winless following 21 starts on the Flat. However, he has posted several creditable efforts on the level this year and is interesting off a reduced mark now returned to hurdles.
(11) (7/1 +22%) Misty Mani
7/1(+22%)
(11) Misty Mani 7/1, Returned from a break in fine form during the summer, winning 3 on the bounce and by no means disgraced when fourth at Sedgefield in November. Likely he would've been placed but for unseating rider at the last at Southwell recently and not without each-way hope.
(16) (8/1 +43%) Zara's Universe
8/1(+43%)
(16) Zara's Universe 8/1, :Long-standing maiden who has several decent enough bits and pieces of form to her name but, chances are, she'll find one or two too good once again having unseated rider on recent seasonal reappearance at Sedgefield.
(3) (20/1 +0%) Bottle Hill
20/1(+0%)
(3) Bottle Hill 20/1, Minor promise in 2 starts over hurdles for James Ewart last term and though well backed ahead of his return/chase debut for new yard at Southwell, he showed little aptitude for that game. Likely to struggle back in this sphere, too, off what looks a harsh mark.
(12) (20/1 +70%) Archive
20/1(+70%)
(12) Archive 20/1, Best effort for a while when fourth at Hexham in June but, unsurprisingly, he has failed to back that up in 2 subsequent starts and losing run stretches back to 2019.
(10) (22/1 -10%) Bulls Aye
22/1(-10%)
(10) Bulls Aye 22/1, Well below par on the Flat this year and while he wasn't entirely disgraced returned to hurdles in a Sedgefield novice in August, a step forward will be needed if he's to play a leading role on handicap debut in this sphere.
(6) (50/1 +38%) Charlie's Rockstar
50/1(+38%)
(6) Charlie's Rockstar 50/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points in April and showed first form under Rules when fourth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in October. Subsequent handicap debut effort was poor, though, and now tried in a tongue strap.
(17) (100/1 -100%) More To Follow
100/1(-100%)
(17) More To Follow 100/1, Showed little in two hurdling outings for Andrew Slattery and it's been a case of more of the same in as many starts for present yard. Now tried in a hood.
LTO Selection:
14:52 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Galia Des Liteaux 1.1/1, A lightly-raced winner over hurdles who looked something out of the ordinary when making a winning chasing debut in impressive fashion at Bangor (17.4f) 29 days ago. Exciting prospect who can concede weight all round.
(4) (5/1 +0%) Kissesforkatie
5/1(+0%)
(4) Kissesforkatie 5/1, Useful handicap hurdler who confirmed promise of her chasing debut when comfortably landing the odds in 3-runner novice at Fontwell (19.5f) 34 days ago. Remains open to improvement in this sphere.
(6) (6/1 +0%) Tweed Skirt
6/1(+0%)
(6) Tweed Skirt 6/1, Fair bumper/hurdles winner who proved a different proposition sent chasing (in a tongue strap) after 7 months off when impressive winner of 5-runner handicap at Kempton (20.5f) 31 days ago. That wasn't much of a race but she's open to plenty of improvement.
(5) (8/1 +0%) Panic Attack
8/1(+0%)
(5) Panic Attack 8/1, All the better for a recent outing when making all in 3-runner novice chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences 19 days ago. This is much tougher but she merits respect nonetheless.
(2) (9/1 -6%) Eureka Creek
9/1(-6%)
(2) Eureka Creek 9/1, Successful Irish pointer/hurdler who made an impressive winning start to life over fences on the back of a breathing operation in 3-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (22.5f) 26 days ago, eased right down having led by 10 lengths at last. Sure to go on to better things.
(3) (18/1 +0%) Farne
18/1(+0%)
(3) Farne 18/1, Fairly useful over hurdles and matched that form over fences last season, shaping best when second of 5 in 3m handicap at this course on final outing. Return to shorter will suit but reappears in a tough race.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Warwick Novices Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(1) Dan's Chosen 0.83/1, Fair maiden hurdler who has quickly proven better over fences, left with a simple task when off the mark at Fakenham in October. Didn't find a great deal when fourth off this mark at Exeter (24.2f) next time but claims here nonetheless.
(3) (2.25/1 +10%) Airtothethrone
2.25/1(+10%)
(3) Airtothethrone 2.25/1, Placed both starts in Irish points and good second on hurdles debut at Ffos Las last November. Fair start to chase career when third of 8 at Ludlow (23.8f) recently and definite chance if able to build on that.
(9) (12/1 +57%) Toad Of Toad Hall
12/1(+57%)
(9) Toad Of Toad Hall 12/1, Didn't need to improve when off the mark in 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (3¼m) in June. No impact in 2 starts since returning from a break, though, and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
(11) (16/1 +54%) Botus Fleming
16/1(+54%)
(11) Botus Fleming 16/1, Appears to be of little account and looks set for another struggle.
(7) (18/1 -80%) Layerthorpe
18/1(-80%)
(7) Layerthorpe 18/1, Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles in 2019. Pulled up on recent chase debut at Ludlow but was entitled to need that following 16 months off and this run should be more revealing.
(8) (18/1 +36%) Shirocco's Delight
18/1(+36%)
(8) Shirocco's Delight 18/1, Modest hurdler in Ireland and not even at that level for current yard, pulled up on return at Fontwell in October. Hard to warm to now switched to fences.
(5) (20/1 +0%) Ho Que Oui
20/1(+0%)
(5) Ho Que Oui 20/1, All the better for return when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (21f) but well held next 2 starts and she now has a bit to prove.
(4) (25/1 -56%) Go Fox
25/1(-56%)
(4) Go Fox 25/1, Flat winner who opened his account in this sphere at Perth last September. Hasn't fired in 4 subsequent starts in this sphere, though, and limited appeal now switched to fences.
(2) (33/1 +34%) Barrowmount
33/1(+34%)
(2) Barrowmount 33/1, Made a winning hurdles debut at Stratford (2¾m) in May last year but has shown little spark in 3 starts since returning from a 16-month absence. Best watched on chase debut.
(10) (50/1 +0%) Old Page
50/1(+0%)
(10) Old Page 50/1, Successful between the flags during the spring and didn't shape badly on chase debut at Cartmel in August. However, no show both subsequent completions and he needs to get back on track.

(7) Wellington Hill 9/1, Promising individual. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Fifth of 8 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 100/1) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Likely to improve.

4.5/1(-13%)
(6) Boy De La Vis 4.5/1, Showed form in points and reasonable start under Rules when third in a bumper at Warwick for Robin Dickin 7 months ago. Merits respect starting out for a new yard.

(1) (33/1 -18%) Artic Row
33/1(-18%)
(1) Artic Row 33/1, Second in a point bumper but down the field on Rules debut at Ayr and others make more appeal.

(4) Braganza Bay 1/1, Responded to first-time cheekpieces when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 23 days ago, staying on well. 5 lb rise looks lenient and holds strong follow-up claims.

(8) (11/1 +21%) Lord Bill
11/1(+21%)
(8) Lord Bill 11/1, Form of his 100/1 second at Chepstow in April very much rates a standout amongst an otherwise underwhelming profile. Well held in selling company last time.
(13) (28/1 +44%) Menapian
28/1(+44%)
(13) Menapian 28/1, Poor maiden who failed to complete at Newton Abbot last time. 6 lb out of the handicap and easy enough to look elsewhere. Tries first-time blinkers.
(9) (33/1 -32%) Dannystory
33/1(-32%)
(9) Dannystory 33/1, Second on final run in points but no impact in bumper or either hurdle start. Starts handicapping off basement mark at least.
(12) (33/1 +18%) Galactic Power
33/1(+18%)
(12) Galactic Power 33/1, Not successful since 2018 and at veteran stage now. Makes limited appeal from 3 lb out of the handicap. Visored for first time.
(3) (40/1 +60%) Wearapinkribbon
40/1(+60%)
(3) Wearapinkribbon 40/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish winning hurdler but hasn't done much for present connections. Can only be watched for now.
(11) (40/1 +0%) Sure Listen
40/1(+0%)
(11) Sure Listen 40/1, Promise in point but little impact under Rules, finishing well behind on return to action at Wincanton last month.
(10) (50/1 -79%) Octavius Sabini
50/1(-79%)
(10) Octavius Sabini 50/1, Offered little in a trio of outings to date and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.
(5) (80/1 -21%) Argus
80/1(-21%)
(5) Argus 80/1, Failed to complete twice in early 2021 and not seen since. Hard to recommend. Tongue strap on for first time in this code.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Villalobos 1.75/1, Winner at Lingfield in September. Quickly back on track when second of 13 in handicap there Lingfield (10f, AW) 9 days ago. Less exposed than most and is expected to be bang there.

2.5/1(+44%)
(1) Engrave 2.5/1, 5-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Also placed twice over C&D this summer but looked off the boil on her most recent outings. Handicapper been lenient if she can bounce back after a break.
(5) (5.5/1 +27%) Red Evelyn
5.5/1(+27%)
(5) Red Evelyn 5.5/1, Twenty one runs since her sole win in January 2021. Another respectable effort when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 26 days ago and she looks competitive on form.
(2) (7.5/1 +17%) Graffiti
7.5/1(+17%)
(2) Graffiti 7.5/1, Won over hurdles at Fontwell in August and wasn't disgraced on return to this sphere when fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, heavy, 11/1) 45 days ago. Respected.

14/1(+0%)

(4) (20/1 -11%) Faithless Insomnia
20/1(-11%)
(4) Faithless Insomnia 20/1, No better than mid-field in 4 starts so far, including on handicap debut last time. Others preferred.
(9) (22/1 +12%) Revolut
22/1(+12%)
(9) Revolut 22/1, No sign of ability in bumper or on the Flat. Has since left Martin Keighley. Lots more needed on handicap debut.
(3) (33/1 -106%) Stormingin
33/1(-106%)
(3) Stormingin 33/1, Unreliable individual. Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. Beaten only narrowly at Lingfield on penultimate outing but again was outbattled and his weakness in a finish means he remains a risky proposition.
(8) (40/1 -400%) Fellowship
40/1(-400%)
(8) Fellowship 40/1, Winner at Yarmouth in June. Showed temperament when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 70 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving William Knight. Needs a couple of these to falter.
(10) (50/1 -100%) Turn Of Phrase
50/1(-100%)
(10) Turn Of Phrase 50/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Something to find on form.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(2) George Ridsdale 0.73/1, Strong in betting and almost capitalised on much-reduced mark when second of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite wide draw.
(7) (3.5/1 +30%) Persian Wolf
3.5/1(+30%)
(7) Persian Wolf 3.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs but has made frame on his last 3 outings, including when fourth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 8 days ago. Respected.

7.5/1(-25%)
(6) Bascinet 7.5/1, Placed on her last 3 outings, including when third under this rider in of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 37 days ago, staying on gradually after racing wide. Can make presence felt.

8.5/1(-143%)
(3) Hill Station 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 17/2, made more impact when third of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 8 days ago. Place claims again.

9/1(-38%)
(1) Master Grey 9/1, Won under this rider at Lingfield in August and the combination were only narrowly beaten at Southwell (12.1f) 37 days ago, just failing to overhaul winner late. Set for another good show.
(5) (33/1 -18%) Prince Achille
33/1(-18%)
(5) Prince Achille 33/1, Out of sorts since finishing second in similar race at Nottingham in August, though saddle slipped when he unseated rider in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Mark is feasible if finding form again.
(8) (50/1 -317%) Milltown Lily
50/1(-317%)
(8) Milltown Lily 50/1, Modest on Flat (placed in amateurs event at Beverley in July) but ran below that level on hurdling debut at Sedgefield last month. Others preferred.
(4) (66/1 -136%) Sisu
66/1(-136%)
(4) Sisu 66/1, Struggled over hurdles since leaving Sir Mark Prescott and cut little ice back on Flat when last seen in April. Has since left Susan Corbett.
(9) (250/1 -279%) Fitzy
250/1(-279%)
(9) Fitzy 250/1, Showed nothing for this yard in late-2019/early-2020 and hasn't fared any better after over 2 years off the track.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(3) Attrazione 2.25/1, Much better signs switched to handicaps, looking a rather unlucky loser when second of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. 3 lb higher now but she has to be very high on the shortlist.
(7) (3/1 +45%) Skyblue Expert
3/1(+45%)
(7) Skyblue Expert 3/1, Winner at Kempton (7f) in November. 7/2, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, weakening when hampered final 1f. Blinkers/tongue tie reached for now and claims of getting in the mix.
(14) (4/1 +67%) Speziato
4/1(+67%)
(14) Speziato 4/1, Offered little in finishing nearer lasr than first all 3 starts in maiden/novice events at up to 7f. However, does represent a shrewd stable so no big surprise where he capable of doing better now handicapping. Betting should prove a useful guide.
(9) (5.5/1 +54%) Profitar Rules
5.5/1(+54%)
(9) Profitar Rules 5.5/1, Showed little all 3 starts in turf maidens at up to 7f, latterly when well beaten sixth of 7 at Epsom in July. Gelded subsequently and cheekpieces now enlisted so worth a precautionary market check for any positive vibes on nursery bow.
(2) (9/1 +36%) Cahore Retreat
9/1(+36%)
(2) Cahore Retreat 9/1, €80,000 purchase who showed ability when fifth of 7 on debut in a Chepstow novice (6f) in September. Well held both starts since but she's not a bad sort on paper and no surprise to see better now handicapping/equipped with a first-time visor.
(1) (16/1 -14%) Foinix
16/1(-14%)
(1) Foinix 16/1, Phoenix Reach colt who didn't offer a great deal of encouragement in a trio of starts in maiden/novice company on turf during the summer. Given a break ahead of nursery debut but progress required if he's to feature.
(10) (25/1 -14%) Hiya Hiya
25/1(-14%)
(10) Hiya Hiya 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when fourth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 48 days ago. Gelded subsequently.
(13) (28/1 +30%) Spireite Boy
28/1(+30%)
(13) Spireite Boy 28/1, Little impact in handful of starts for Gay Kelleway and he fared no better when tenth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) on yard debut 34 days ago. Needs to step up a good deal to figure even from this basement mark.
(11) (33/1 -106%) Mam'zelle Dupont
33/1(-106%)
(11) Mam'zelle Dupont 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in nursery (25/1) at this course (6f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
(8) (50/1 -100%) Aurophobia
50/1(-100%)
(8) Aurophobia 50/1, Galileo Gold filly. No great promise in in novice/maiden events at up to 7f on AW/turf during the summer. Does at least now get a crack at handicaps from a lowly mark so worth a check in the betting back from a break.
(6) (66/1 -120%) Secretary
66/1(-120%)
(6) Secretary 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 8 in novice event at this course (5f) 63 days ago, soon steadied and always behind. Significant step up in trip/fitting of blinkers needs to have positive effect now.

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(7) Popular Dream 1.2/1, Foaled February 25. Oasis Dream colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Policy Maker. Makes appeal on debut.
(2) (1.62/1 +19%) Beelzebub
1.62/1(+19%)
(2) Beelzebub 1.62/1, Promising type. 9/4, left debut form well behind when third of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Quite a scopey type, he's open to further improvement.
(10) (6/1 -33%) Sofia Cat
6/1(-33%)
(10) Sofia Cat 6/1, 3/1, showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut, late headway. Off 4 months. Open to progress.

33/1(+0%)
(5) Fornham St Martin 33/1, Foaled February 17. 75,000 gns yearling, Zoustar colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), closely related to smart 7f/1m winner Sentaril and half-sister to smart 5f winner Enticing out of smart 2-y-o 5f winner Superstar Leo.
(8) (40/1 +60%) Annie Law
40/1(+60%)
(8) Annie Law 40/1, 40/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when tenth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 19 days ago, slowly away. Likely she will need more time.
(6) (150/1 -127%) Opportunity Knocks
150/1(-127%)
(6) Opportunity Knocks 150/1, 66/1, did no better for debut when last of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, firm). Off 5 months. Gelded since and easy to look elsewhere.
LTO Selection:

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) The Xo , Expensive breeze-up buy who shaped with plenty of promise when second of 8 in novice event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut in May, finishing strongly behind one boasting previous experience. Player.
(8) (1.25/1 +50%) Demi Pointe
1.25/1(+50%)
(8) Demi Pointe 1.25/1, Pivotal filly who is bred to be useful but shaped as if needing the experience when sixth of 10 in maiden (17/2) at Goodwood (6f, good) on debut in May. Another who has been absent since and she's very much the type to do better.
(5) (5/1 +0%) Tawalla
5/1(+0%)
(5) Tawalla 5/1, Foaled May 2. Invincible Spirit colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Alafdhal. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Efaadah out of smart performer up to 10.5f Albaraah. Market confidence would need to be viewed positively on debut.
(7) (6.5/1 -86%) Umming N' Ahing
6.5/1(-86%)
(7) Umming N' Ahing 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Much-improved on opening pair of exploits when fourth of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 19 days ago, well positioned. Shouldn't be far away with a repeat.
(3) (28/1 -211%) Hitched
28/1(-211%)
(3) Hitched 28/1, Foaled May 6. 50,000 gns yearling, Cotai Glory colt. 12/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 26 days ago. Likely type for later on.
(9) (33/1 +18%) Lady Beechfield
33/1(+18%)
(9) Lady Beechfield 33/1, Foaled January 25. 12,500 gns foal, Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner Mickey The Steel and winner up to 1¼m Red Gunner. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Yard's newcomers usually better for initial experience.
(1) (50/1 -52%) Fadi
50/1(-52%)
(1) Fadi 50/1, Foaled March 6. Mehmas colt. 16/1, last of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 20 days ago, soon detached and always behind. This ought to reveal a good deal more.
(2) (66/1 -32%) Fayasel
66/1(-32%)
(2) Fayasel 66/1, Foaled February 25. £5,000 yearling, 19,000 gns 2-y-o, Dandy Man colt. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Silca Chiave. Market should unearth some clues ahead of debut.
(4) (250/1 -100%) Mikka
250/1(-100%)
(4) Mikka 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 10 in minor event (250/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 26 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Baldomero 2.25/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (8f) 71 days ago, better placed than most. Not out of things.
(1) (2.5/1 -11%) Intuitive
2.5/1(-11%)
(1) Intuitive 2.5/1, Course winner. Below par at Kempton when last seen in April but came close at Lingfield previously and returns off a workable mark. Cheekpieces on first time.
(2) (2.75/1 +21%) Excel Power
2.75/1(+21%)
(2) Excel Power 2.75/1, Scored for third time this year when bagging Lingfield handicap (8f) last month. Had excuses at Wolverhampton since and must enter calculations.
(4) (7/1 -133%) Darwell Lion
7/1(-133%)
(4) Darwell Lion 7/1, Posted career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) in January, kept up to work. Since joined John Butler and holds strong claims on yard debut.
(3) (9/1 +36%) Azano
9/1(+36%)
(3) Azano 9/1, Latest win at Redcar in July. Last of 5 in minor event (28/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Others preferred.
LTO Selection:
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Araifjan 2.25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Capitalised on reduced mark when landing 9-runner handicap at this C&D (7/4) 7 days ago, driven out. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and claims again in this groove.
(8) (2.5/1 -100%) Hit Mac
2.5/1(-100%)
(8) Hit Mac 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 3/1) 8 days ago, headway 1f out and keeping on. Less exposed than most and expected to feature again.
(6) (4/1 +33%) Alafdhal
4/1(+33%)
(6) Alafdhal 4/1, Arrives here in good form, gaining second C&D success from last 3 starts under this rider 7 days ago, well on top finish. Another holding sound claims once more under a penalty.
(3) (6.5/1 +46%) Ramdon Rocks
6.5/1(+46%)
(3) Ramdon Rocks 6.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ismail Mohammed when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and return to 6f a likely plus back on last winning mark.
(4) (8/1 +50%) Dark Design
8/1(+50%)
(4) Dark Design 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth (6f) in August. 9/1, respectable seventh of 15 in handicap back at that venue (6f, soft) 51 days ago. Mark is steadily easing now returned to AW.
(2) (16/1 -45%) Marwari
16/1(-45%)
(2) Marwari 16/1, Enjoyed a fine second half of this year, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts in handicaps at Southwell (6f) in August, challenging over 1f out and battling well. Mark has crept up a little more but he's not underestimated back from a break.
(7) (18/1 +28%) Olivetti
18/1(+28%)
(7) Olivetti 18/1, Maiden. Not disgraced when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 40/1) 12 days ago, weakening when hampered inside final 1f. Steps back up in trip now.
(9) (28/1 +15%) Wooders Dream
28/1(+15%)
(9) Wooders Dream 28/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 9 days ago, short of room 4f out but ultimately making little impression. Headgear discarded now.
(5) (50/1 -25%) Thomas Equinas
50/1(-25%)
(5) Thomas Equinas 50/1, Last of 16 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 66 days ago. Needs to get back on track following another 2-month break but he's a tricky drawn to deal with.
(10) (66/1 -32%) Madame Marmalade
66/1(-32%)
(10) Madame Marmalade 66/1, Last of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (7.1f) in September, never involved. Absent subsequently and others arrive with more pressing claims despite career-low mark.
(12) (125/1 -89%) Pusey Street
125/1(-89%)
(12) Pusey Street 125/1, 4-y-o who boasts little in the way of solid form, seventh of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) in May. Best watched back from 6 months off.
LTO Selection:
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(4) Full Intention 2.5/1, 5-time C&D winner. Eighth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago, pushed along early in straight but never a threat. However, mark is easing all the time and he's often gone well for this pilot.
(6) (5/1 -25%) Luna Queen
5/1(-25%)
(6) Luna Queen 5/1, Winner at Lingfield in August. Good third of 9 in handicap back at that venue (7f, AW, 9/1) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider.
(2) (5.5/1 +39%) Healing Power
5.5/1(+39%)
(2) Healing Power 5.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield (7f) in July. 11/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago, weakening having been headed early in the straight. No forlorn hope.
(3) (8/1 +20%) Silks Pass
8/1(+20%)
(3) Silks Pass 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Clearly not out of things from this sort of mark but widest draw of all not ideal.
(9) (10/1 +17%) Deacs Delight
10/1(+17%)
(9) Deacs Delight 10/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to 7f may well help now and refitting of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) could well put an extra edge on him.
(8) (10/1 +29%) Port Noir
10/1(+29%)
(8) Port Noir 10/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 42 days ago, albeit not unduly punished. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more.
(10) (11/1 +0%) Champagne Supanova
11/1(+0%)
(10) Champagne Supanova 11/1, Course winner. Third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 13/2) in August, merely closing up late. Not the easiest to predict but operating from last winning mark if another break has positive effect.
(7) (11/1 -100%) Good Humor
11/1(-100%)
(7) Good Humor 11/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (1m) in July, plenty to do home turn but merely closing up late. Absent since and interesting what the market makes of him from much reduced mark. Yard also saddles Weloof.
(1) (12/1 -85%) Cavalluccio
12/1(-85%)
(1) Cavalluccio 12/1, Maiden who was strong in betting on yard debut and ultimately lost his chance by blowing the start when ninth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Remains less exposed than most and he's not one to write off.
(5) (22/1 -193%) Weloof
22/1(-193%)
(5) Weloof 22/1, Course winner. Stepped up on his return effort at Southwell in October when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. All wins gained at 1m+ and not ideally drawn on this occasion.
(11) (33/1 +18%) Holdenhurst
33/1(+18%)
(11) Holdenhurst 33/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 94 days. Visor back on. Tough to assess at present.
(12) (100/1 -100%) Jazz Music
100/1(-100%)
(12) Jazz Music 100/1, Little form at up to 1m in novice/handicap company during first half of 2021 and she's best watched on belated return.
LTO Selection:
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(2) Storm Catcher 3.5/1, Off 9 months, shaped well when fifth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield 19 days ago, keeping on from too far back. Claims if he can build on that now.
(5) (4/1 -14%) Far Horizon
4/1(-14%)
(5) Far Horizon 4/1, Improved to win 1m Lingfield novice 19 days ago. Longer trip ought to suit now handicapping. Respected.
(6) (4.5/1 +10%) They Don't Know
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) They Don't Know 4.5/1, Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this course (1m) when last seen in September. Back up in trip after a short break.
(7) (5/1 -67%) Copperknob
5/1(-67%)
(7) Copperknob 5/1, Readily made all at Brighton when last seen in June. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 6 months off but it's likely he's still on a feasible mark.
(8) (7/1 +42%) The Bay Warrior
7/1(+42%)
(8) The Bay Warrior 7/1, C&D winner. 33/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Ffos Las when last seen in August. Should be competitive if primed after a 4-month break.

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.
