3

12/1(-100%)
(9) Rory And Me 12/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers in 2019. Failed to score on the level but found only one too good on Wetherby hurdles debut (2m) a year ago. Off since but good claims if ready to roll.
4

66/1(-164%)
(11) Thomas Cranmer 66/1, Regressive on the Flat but showed a bit tried hurdling when fourth in a Wetherby novice (2m) 15 days ago. Not sure to build on that.

40/1(-43%)

11/1(+0%)

7th
7th (10) (80/1 -60%) Scots Poet
80/1(-60%)
(10) Scots Poet 80/1, Stratford bumper winner who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when eighth of 11 on Ayr hurdling debut 23 days ago, weakening when mistake last. Probably more one for handicaps later on.
8th
8th (5) (50/1 -150%) Goast Dancer
50/1(-150%)
(5) Goast Dancer 50/1, Modest in bumpers and was well held on Kelso hurdles bow 47 days ago.

80/1(+20%)
(6) Landacre Bridge 80/1, Fair form when runner-up in a Ffos Las bumper (15.8f) in May. Changed hands for £80,000 thereafter but no impact all 3 starts for Henry Hogarth, including in a first-time tongue tie last time.
10th
10th (8) (125/1 +0%) Phoenix Strike
125/1(+0%)
(8) Phoenix Strike 125/1, Modest maiden stayer on the level. Showed a bit when fourth on Wetherby hurdles debut in October, but failed to repeat that effort there a month later.

|RO|
|RO| (7) (8/1 -60%) Paddy The Horse
8/1(-60%)
(7) Paddy The Horse 8/1, Irish point winner at third attempt who ran to a fair level when third on 2m4f Carlisle hurdle bow last month, displaying a likeable attitude. Well in the mix with a repeat.
LTO Selection:
11:40 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Lupus Regem 1.38/1, Bumper winner for Henry Daly in the spring who ran out at the end of the back straight on Uttoxeter hurdling debut 26 days ago (saddle seemed to slip before fifth). Worth another chance.
3
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +17%) Geordies Dream
2.5/1(+17%)
(4) Geordies Dream 2.5/1, No fluke about his 28/1 Kelso debut success back in April and enhanced his form when runner-up under a penalty at Ayr on return 23 days ago. Should be up to making his mark over obstacles.
4
4th (3) (66/1 +0%) Fortcanyon
66/1(+0%)
(3) Fortcanyon 66/1, Made the frame on the second of 2 starts in Irish points but was well held on Kelso hurdle debut in October.
5th
5th (11) (33/1 -175%) Tigerpomp
33/1(-175%)
(11) Tigerpomp 33/1, Fair form in bumpers and looked booked for third when coming down at the last in a novice at Sedgefield first time up over hurdles. Made bad mistake 3 out when last of 5 here subsequently.
6th
6th (8) (9/1 +50%) Regular Income
9/1(+50%)
(8) Regular Income 9/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 10.5f, successful at Nottingham in October but well below form last time. Not dismissed on hurdle debut.
8th
8th (7) (20/1 +39%) Ralphy Boy Two
20/1(+39%)
(7) Ralphy Boy Two 20/1, Fair performer on Flat, stays 1¼m, respectable second last time. Not without each-way hope on hurdle debut.
9th
9th (1) (300/1 -100%) Breaking Records
300/1(-100%)
(1) Breaking Records 300/1, Modest sprinter on Flat nowadays and no form in 2 novice hurdles, jumping none too fluently.
10th
10th (5) (80/1 +36%) Lightning Attack
80/1(+36%)
(5) Lightning Attack 80/1, Modest on Flat and well held both starts over hurdles.
11th
11th (2) (150/1 -50%) Daddyjacks Special
150/1(-50%)
(2) Daddyjacks Special 150/1, Has shaped with no promise in a bumper/2 novice hurdles.
LTO Selection:
12:10 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Greystoke 20/1, Fairly useful on the Flat at up to 1¼m, successful twice during the spring. Should leave low-key C&D hurdles debut well behind in time, but jockey bookings suggest that Vazir is the stable No 1.
1
1st (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Graystone
2.75/1(+39%)
(2) Graystone 2.75/1, Three-time winner on the Flat this year and encouraging start over hurdles when second over this C&D last month. However, subsequent odds-on failure at Huntingdon was disapppointing.
2
2nd (5) (1.62/1 -62%) Saint Riquier
1.62/1(-62%)
(5) Saint Riquier 1.62/1, Flat winner in France and has shown plenty on his 3 starts over hurdles, notably finishing second in a 16.4f Cheltenham Grade 2 last time. Very much the one to beat at this less exalted level.
4
4th (9) (100/1 +33%) Tiki Fire
100/1(+33%)
(9) Tiki Fire 100/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Karl Burke (stays 1½m). Changed hands for 10,000 gns, but didn't offer much short-term encouragement when well held seventh on hurdles bow at Fakenham (2m) in October.
5th
5th (7) (33/1 +18%) Spanish Hustle
33/1(+18%)
(7) Spanish Hustle 33/1, Fair but temperamental handicapper on Flat, off the mark at Brighton in October. Hasn't pulled up any trees in a couple of starts over hurdles so far and it's best to look elsewhere.
LTO Selection:
12:20 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Dolly McQueen 2/1, First hurdles win dropped to a seller at Plumpton (15.9f) 24 days ago. This requires more.
2
2nd (5) (4/1 +50%) Olly's Folly
4/1(+50%)
(5) Olly's Folly 4/1, Modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland. Hurdles efforts for this yard not devoid of promise but no real reason to think he's any better than that.
3
3rd (6) (1.38/1 -89%) Peloric
1.38/1(-89%)
(6) Peloric 1.38/1, Right back on song when third of 12 in a handicap at Newton Abbot in April. Pulled up at Exeter on return, though reportedly suffered a breathing issue, so worth another chance down in grade.
4
4th (1) (7.5/1 -50%) Colonel Lesley
7.5/1(-50%)
(1) Colonel Lesley 7.5/1, Modest hurdler who shaped best when second in 4-runner seller at Leicester (15.5f) 11 days ago, collared near finish having drifted far side late on. More needed in a better seller here, though.
5th
5th (3) (40/1 +0%) Givehimhisdew
40/1(+0%)
(3) Givehimhisdew 40/1, Well held in bumpers/over hurdles (breathing problem last time). Easy to look elsewhere.
LTO Selection:
12:30 Taunton Selling Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Fourneux D'isanka 11/1, Fair hurdler who ran below form on first run since leaving Mrs Denise Foster when seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy, 4/1) 42 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
(15) (150/1 +0%) Nicola's Fancy
150/1(+0%)
(15) Nicola's Fancy 150/1, Down the field in a pair of maiden hurdles. RESERVE.
(17) (150/1 +0%) Holiday In Kerry
150/1(+0%)
(17) Holiday In Kerry 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, soft, 250/1) 4 days ago. RESERVE.
1
1st (5) (1.62/1 -224%) Guily Billy
1.62/1(-224%)
(5) Guily Billy 1.62/1, Promising sort. 1/3, second of 8 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy) on NH debut 42 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better and will take all the beating.
3
3rd (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Kings Keeper
3.5/1(+30%)
(7) Kings Keeper 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1, tenth of 14 in bumper at Ballinrobe (17.6f, good to soft), dropping away quickly. Off 7 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles.
4
4th (14) (33/1 -18%) Windsor Diamond
33/1(-18%)
(14) Windsor Diamond 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft, 40/1) 14 days ago, having run of race.
5th
5th (13) (6/1 -9%) Park Hind
6/1(-9%)
(13) Park Hind 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, fourth of 21 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago, running on. May do better still and needs considering.
6th
6th (4) (100/1 -25%) Gringo D'ainay
100/1(-25%)
(4) Gringo D'ainay 100/1, Well held in 2 maiden hurdles 9 months apart.
7th
7th (8) (40/1 +0%) Tomjackwilliam
40/1(+0%)
(8) Tomjackwilliam 40/1, €2,800 3-y-o, Dylan Thomas gelding. Half-brother to 6 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Warden Hill and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser The Vicar, stays 3m. Dam unraced.
8th
8th (11) (250/1 -100%) Island Glory
250/1(-100%)
(11) Island Glory 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Paul O'Flynn when twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 14 days ago.
10th
10th (2) (33/1 +59%) Daddy Curtuis

|PU|

250/1(-67%)
(6) Katzoff 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, unseated rider in handicap at Naas (10f, soft) 53 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run.
LTO Selection:
12:35 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(16) Killane 10/1, Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Ayr in October. 4 lb rise looks fair and while he ran out at Southwell 9 days ago, that's probably just a one-off. Tried in cheekpieces.
2
2nd (4) (4/1 +11%) Bestiarius
4/1(+11%)
(4) Bestiarius 4/1, One-time fair hurdler who showed he retains ability despite jumping poorly when third at Hexham on belated reappearance. Well treated if he can build on that.
3
3rd (11) (25/1 +0%) Ex S'elance
25/1(+0%)
(11) Ex S'elance 25/1, Limited on the whole and, while his debut for this stable at Market Rasen 7 days ago was respectable, it's still easy to look elsewhere.
4
4th (5) (5/1 -43%) Annies Prayer
5/1(-43%)
(5) Annies Prayer 5/1, Eye-catching hurdling debut at Ayr in May, then runner-up at Bangor despitd stumbling 2 out. Makes a quick switch to handicaps after 6 months off, and 97 could prove to be a lenient opening mark.
5th
5th (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Gamesters Icon
6.5/1(+13%)
(1) Gamesters Icon 6.5/1, Fair Flat winner who has run to a similar level over hurdles and shaped quite encouragingly when fourth in a handicap at Hexham on return. Likely to strip fitter for that.
6th
6th (15) (3.5/1 +0%) Leopolds Rock
3.5/1(+0%)
(15) Leopolds Rock 3.5/1, Lightly-raced 5yo who, having attracted support, showed a lot more than previously when fourth under a positive ride at Sedgefield a month ago. More to come, so worth chancing in a weak race.
8th
8th (13) (50/1 -100%) Burdigala
50/1(-100%)
(13) Burdigala 50/1, Fair ex-French hurdler/chaser but has struggled for this yard. Up against it on reappearance.
9th
9th (3) (50/1 -127%) Hajey
50/1(-127%)
(3) Hajey 50/1, Modest maiden on Flat who is not straightforward and has gone backwards from a mildly encouraging hurdling debut in March.
10th
10th (8) (40/1 -21%) Get 'em In
40/1(-21%)
(8) Get 'em In 40/1, Modest form over hurdles the last twice and handicapper hasn't gone overboard with opening mark, so more of a chance to feature now switched to handicaps.
11th
11th (6) (33/1 -32%) Get Phar
33/1(-32%)
(6) Get Phar 33/1, Placed 4 times in handicap hurdles at up to 25f for Eoin Griffin during the spring. Went with little encouragement dropped to this trip on seasonal/stable debut at Hexham, though.
12th
12th (7) (33/1 -50%) Ribeye
33/1(-50%)
(7) Ribeye 33/1, Lightly-raced 6yo who produced his best effort over hurdles when fifth in a handicap at Hexham 6 months ago but is likely to need this first run since.
13th
13th (2) (33/1 -83%) Muhtamar
33/1(-83%)
(2) Muhtamar 33/1, Took a step forward back from 7 months off when second to promising rival at Ayr on return but, once again, took too strong a hold in a minor event there next time. Bigger field might help him settle.
LTO Selection:
12:40 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(14) Picanha 3.5/1, Point winner who showed fairly useful form when landing bumper on Rules debut in December 2019. Encouraging third on hurdles bow back from a 23-month absence at Exeter (21.6f) and should improve.
2
2nd (7) (2.75/1 +8%) Kyntara
2.75/1(+8%)
(7) Kyntara 2.75/1, Point/bumper winner who was turned over when odds on for last month's hurdles debut at Lingfield (19.5f). However, it's likely that he will come on for that and he remains a decent prospect.
4
4th (13) (2.25/1 +0%) Our Jet
2.25/1(+0%)
(13) Our Jet 2.25/1, Third on sole outing in Irish points and very positive start under Rules when narrowly outpointed by a potentially useful type in 2½m Aintree novice. Tongue strap added and he's a big player.
5th
5th (1) (66/1 -200%) Ailes D'amour
66/1(-200%)
(1) Ailes D'amour 66/1, In the frame both starts in bumpers and experience of his hurdles debut fourth at Ascot (19.3f) last month won't be wasted on him. Still, several of these make greater appeal.
6th
6th (17) (50/1 +24%) Storm Lord
50/1(+24%)
(17) Storm Lord 50/1, Didn't shape badly when fifth in a 12-runner Newton Abbot bumper on debut in April, but he'll need to leave that form well behind if he's to make an impact now switched to hurdles. Cheekpieces added.
7th
7th (18) (66/1 +0%) Lazy Sunday
66/1(+0%)
(18) Lazy Sunday 66/1, Just minor promise in a couple of novice hurdles at Exeter and she looks up against it.
|F|
|F| (8) (8/1 -100%) Limetree Boy
8/1(-100%)
(8) Limetree Boy 8/1, Promising debut when third in 2½m Aintree novice won by Hillcrest (winner again since) last month, around 3 lengths adrift of the runner-up Our Jet, who renews rivalry here. Open to improvement.
10th
10th (12) (7.5/1 +17%) Nobby
7.5/1(+17%)
(12) Nobby 7.5/1, Dual bumper winner here in 2018 and shaped well on hurdles bow back from a layoff at Newbury (16.3f) in February. However, turned over at skinny odds the next twice and more needed now upped in trip.
12th
12th (4) (22/1 -38%) Crawford
22/1(-38%)
(4) Crawford 22/1, Showed much more than he did on hurdles debut when finding just one too strong in 2½m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle latest. Should pick up a race before long, but there'll be easier opportunities than this.
13th
13th (5) (33/1 -18%) I'm Spellbound
33/1(-18%)
(5) I'm Spellbound 33/1, Promise in bumpers at Southwell and Huntingdon last season. Ability is clearly there and may well make his mark over hurdles, but this is a warm race in which to make his debut in this sphere.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (100/1 -100%) Modreeney
100/1(-100%)
(11) Modreeney 100/1, Off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers at Ballinrobe in August, but backward step at the same course next time and he's passed over on this hurdles debut for new yard.
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.
(1) Paso Doble 0.8/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who landed the odds at Kempton in May. Disappointing sixth in Persian War Hurdle but back on track on handicap debut last time. Obvious claims with cheekpieces applied.
2
2nd (4) (12/1 +45%) Mister Marbles
12/1(+45%)
(4) Mister Marbles 12/1, In a top stable but ran to just a modest level in a 2m maiden hurdle at Chepstow on debut 36 days ago, needing stiffer test. Should do better in time.
3
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Jeremy The Jinn
2.25/1(+36%)
(3) Jeremy The Jinn 2.25/1, Made the ideal start when comfortably landing a 9-runner bumper at Market Rasen in the spring and similar form when sixth at Cheltenham 7 weeks ago. Makes hurdles bow for yard going great guns.
4
4th (8) (25/1 +11%) Social City
25/1(+11%)
(8) Social City 25/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, notching a 4-timer towards the back end of last year. Little to shout about recently and probably best watched on yard/hurdling debut.
5th
5th (9) (8/1 -33%) Sword Beach
8/1(-33%)
(9) Sword Beach 8/1, Dual winner on the Flat at Windsor this summer. Tailed-off when last seen at Doncaster 3 months ago but is in top hands for this introduction to hurdling so a market check is advised.
6th
6th (6) (14/1 +36%) Ocean Heights
14/1(+36%)
(6) Ocean Heights 14/1, Fair bumper winner who was sold out of Lucy Wadham's yard for £26,000 in August. Failed to reward support at long odds on hurdling debut but may do better somehwere down the line over timber.
7th
7th (2) (22/1 -100%) Huelgoat
22/1(-100%)
(2) Huelgoat 22/1, Won a 1½m bumper in France. Failed to take advantage of a good opportunity on British debut at Exeter and again failed to justify favouritism sent hurdling following a wind op. Bit to prove now.
8th
8th (11) (80/1 +0%) Walk Away Now
80/1(+0%)
(11) Walk Away Now 80/1, Arvico gelding who showed nothing on debut when pulled up at Wincanton last month. Faces another struggle here.
9th
9th (5) (80/1 -100%) Muy Bien
80/1(-100%)
(5) Muy Bien 80/1, Twiced-raced in bumpers and shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling in a first-time hood when tenth at Exeter 29 days ago. Should have more to offer over further in time.
|F|
|F| (12) (250/1 -150%) Lady Ironside
250/1(-150%)
(12) Lady Ironside 250/1, Half-sister to multiple Italian jumps winner Azamourday. Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland, but tailed-off last on hurdles bow for this yard 29 days ago. Easily ignored.
|U|
|U| (14) (125/1 -56%) The Height Of Fame
125/1(-56%)
(14) The Height Of Fame 125/1, Modest form at best in 2 bumpers in March but did hint at ability when sixth of 8 at this C&D (good to firm) 43 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.
10th
10th (7) (125/1 -25%) Pilsdon Pen
125/1(-25%)
(7) Pilsdon Pen 125/1, Modest on the Flat for Joseph Tuite in 2019 but offered little in both starts over hurdles last month. Hard to make a case for on that evidence.
11th
11th (10) (66/1 +0%) Time Bandit
66/1(+0%)
(10) Time Bandit 66/1, Runner-up sole start in point bumpers but achieved nothing when tailed off in an Aintree bumper in May. Showed a bit on hurdles bow/return a fortnight ago but more needed.
12th
12th (13) (200/1 -150%) Liimari
200/1(-150%)
(13) Liimari 200/1, Limited impact in bumpers and on the Flat. Off 15 months and easy to look elsewhere for this hurdling debut.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Powerful Out 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form seventh of 17 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Has to be taken seriously.
2
2nd (1) (2/1 -14%) Robyndeglory
2/1(-14%)
(1) Robyndeglory 2/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 4/1) 23 days ago, always holding on. Back down in trip.
3

8.5/1(+15%)
(7) Bridge Street 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Limerick (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Likely to improve.

8/1(+64%)
(9) Truckers Angel 8/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 14 days ago.at to principals.

6th
6th (2) (9/1 +0%) Sean Says
9/1(+0%)
(2) Sean Says 9/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Thurles (22f, good, 4/1) 21 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on.
7th
7th (3) (5/1 -43%) Optional Mix
5/1(-43%)
(3) Optional Mix 5/1, 4/1, career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.7f, heavy) 42 days ago, always holding on. Must improve.
8th

(5) Kilashee 6.5/1, Tailed-off eighth of 9 to Party Central in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft, 50/1) 4 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Can make presence felt.

(8) Goodtimes Badtimes 2.75/1, Had wind op before encouraging fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) on his yard bow 33 days ago. Form has been franked, so he's a player off 2 lb lower mark now.

(5) Benito 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who offered little on his handicap bow when eleventh of 13 at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 41 days ago. Up in trip but others are more persuasive.

22/1(-57%)
(6) Sputnik 22/1, Opened his account at Hexham in May but his recent form is far less encouraging, pulled up in handicap there 22 days ago. Hard to warm to.

14/1(+0%)
(8) Glimpse Of Gala 14/1, Fair bumper performer who made all in a mares' novice at Fontwell on first completed outing over hurdles in September. Good second at Market Rasen (20.6f) since and merits respect on handicap debut.

7.5/1(-15%)
(14) Jaytee 7.5/1, Showed ability in maiden/novice company during 2019/20 campaign, and encouraging effort back from 22 months off on handicap bow at Chepstow (19.4f). 3 lb lower now and he's open to improvement.

5/1(+38%)
(3) Inca Rose 5/1, Went close in an Exeter novice last November and again back from a break over 25f here in May. Not disgraced on return/handicap bow tried in cheekpieces (omitted now) at Kempton, but more is needed.

16/1(-60%)
(13) Lamanver Bel Ami 16/1, Back on-song when making a winning reappearance at Worcester (2½m) last month. 5 lb rise fair enough and will have a fighting chance if able to back that effort up here.

18/1(-13%)
(4) I'm A Starman 18/1, Opened account at Hereford in March (21.7f) and doubled his tally over 25f here when last seen in May. Resumes on a 5 lb higher mark and this demands a new personal best.

8th (15) (40/1 +0%) Shaw's Cross
40/1(+0%)
(15) Shaw's Cross 40/1, Losing run mounting up (latest success was gained in December 2019) and while he performed with credit at Lingfield (2m) last time, others make more appeal from a win point of view.

3.2/1(-7%)
(2) Italian Spirit 3.2/1, Bumper winner last season and opened hurdles account in 2½m Fakenham maiden on return in October. Creditable third on handicap bow here (19f) last time and he remains open to improvement.

33/1(-83%)

11/1(+21%)
(7) Rabski 11/1, Bumper winner who has yet to strike over hurdles, but has resumed with a couple of solid placed efforts off this mark at Newton Abbot and Leicester. Trip/ground fine and should be on the premises.

6.5/1(+54%)
(12) Grand Lord 6.5/1, Placed on each of his last 4 starts over hurdles, but latest effort at Wetherby (21.2f) hardly represented a step forward and he's starting to look a shade exposed. Cheekpieces enlisted.

4.5/1(+0%)
(1) Midnight Callisto 4.5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has proved rather expensive to follow over hurdles. Back to form when fourth at Southwell 9 days ago, and may well build on that if her jumping holds up.

(8) One Last Glance 20/1, Mere glimmers of ability in maiden/novice company and needs to raise his game a couple of notches now pitched into a handicap. Engaged 2.00 Lingfield Wednesday.

3/1(+25%)
(3) Folly Gate 3/1, Fair maiden hurdler who produced his best effort on form when second over C&D 43 days ago, albeit not finding a great deal for pressure. Paddy Brennan is likely to have a positive effect on him.

|PU| (7) (80/1 +0%) Toad Of Toad Hall
80/1(+0%)
(7) Toad Of Toad Hall 80/1, Has looked limited on the whole over hurdles and hasn't been seen for 9 months, so hard to make a meaningful case for.

4.5/1(+10%)
(1) Mr Scrumpy 4.5/1, Ended last season out of sorts over hurdles but there was some encouragement over an inadequate trip on chasing bow at Carlisle, so could make a bigger impression back at more suitable distance.

6.5/1(+19%)
(8) Slainte Mhor 6.5/1, Opened his chase account with game display at Ayr in the spring but he has failed to build on it, last of 3 at the same course last time. Others are more appealing.

(15) Watashock 4/1, Sholokhov gelding. Showed a bit when midfield in deep Punchestown bumper only start for W. J. Burke back in April. Made very interesting yard switch and betting should prove a very useful guide.
4
4th (11) (18/1 -177%) Horacio Apple's
18/1(-177%)
(11) Horacio Apple's 18/1, Saddex gelding who looked to learning as race wore on when midfield in a Bangor bumper (16.6f) in October, staying on from 2f out. Expected to build on that but this may prove a sharp enough test.
5th
5th (5) (7/1 +65%) Cerendipity
7/1(+65%)
(5) Cerendipity 7/1, Sageburg gelding from good jumping family. Shaped as though he'd come on for October's bumper debut fourth at Sedgefield (16.8f) so no surprise to see an improved effort.

8/1(+64%)
(7) Commander Of Ten 8/1, €24,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 4½m) Hello Bud and fairly useful but untrustworthy chaser (stayed 3m) The Musical Guy. Worth a market check on debut.

7.5/1(+0%)
(13) Try Teescomponents 7.5/1, Shirocco brother to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Teescomponents Lad and bumper winner Dance of Time. Yard know this family well and the betting should guide.

22/1(+33%)
(9) Fenland Tiger 22/1, £4,500 5-y-o, Schiaparelli gelding. Sent off at 33/1 and ultimately shaped like a longer-term project when ninth in a 13-runner Uttoxeter bumper recently.
9th

10/1(-150%)
(6) Clear White Light 10/1, Good Flat pedigree and showed plenty of ability in pair of bumpers for Micky Hammond earlier this year, runner-up in a C&D event in March. Not discounted startig out for new yard now.

14/1(-40%)
(1) Fingal's Hill 14/1, Shirocco gelding who knew his job when making winning bumper debut at Catterick (15.7f) last November. Never figured under a penalty on AW here in February but return to turf may help now.
11th
11th (2) (12/1 -118%) Imperial Lord
12/1(-118%)
(2) Imperial Lord 12/1, Unplaced on completed start in points but better for bumper debut effort when taking Thurles bumper (2m) last month. Has since switched yards and further progress not ruled out.
12th
12th (12) (25/1 +24%) Time For Heroes
25/1(+24%)
(12) Time For Heroes 25/1, €2,500 3-y-o, Libertarian gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 2½m) Big Chief Benny. Wears tongue strap.
13th
13th (16) (12/1 -167%) Melvich Bay
12/1(-167%)
(16) Melvich Bay 12/1, Telescope filly who made a promising start when second in a Hexham bumper (2m) in October, coming nicely clear of the remainder without being given a hard time. Player in receipt of weight all round.
14th
14th (3) (16/1 +52%) Big Arthur
16/1(+52%)
(3) Big Arthur 16/1, Passing Glance gelding. Dam (b86) lightly raced in bumpers. Yard wouldn't be a regular source of winners in this sphere and likely best watched.
15th
15th (10) (50/1 -127%) Haut Berry
50/1(-127%)
(10) Haut Berry 50/1, My Risk gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Godomar. Hooded for debut but offered something to work on when third in an Ayr bumper in October, staying on gradually. Could build on that.
16th
16th (8) (200/1 -203%) Ever Ready Eddie
200/1(-203%)
(8) Ever Ready Eddie 200/1, Ocovango gelding who offered little when last of 10 on debut in a Kelso bumper last month. Can only be watched on the back of that here.

14/1(-75%)
(3) Armchair Farmer 14/1, Brian Boru gelding who possibly needed the run when sixth of 12 in bumper at Wexford (18f, soft, 16/1) 8 months ago. Little show in points but has joined a top yard so likely to progress.

7.5/1(+0%)
(2) Alnitak 7.5/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (b90), bumper winner, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 23f) West Bridge. One to take seriously on debut.

8.5/1(-13%)
(15) Blue Bubbles 8.5/1, Blue Bresil filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Bold Endeavour. Stable’s first-timers often supported and is preferred by Harry Skelton.

(16) Double For Fun 200/1, Dunaden filly who offered little in a warm race when twelfth of 15 in bumper (100/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) on debut 36 days ago. Big step forward required.

66/1(-450%)
(1) Deal Em High 66/1, Improved from debut to land a 4-runner event at Newton Abbot 94 days ago but he's clearly vulnerable under a penalty in this much stronger contest.
17th
17th (12) (66/1 -100%) Nivlac
66/1(-100%)
(12) Nivlac 66/1, Court Cave gelding who showed more temperament than ability when eighth of 10 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 12/1) on NH debut 44 days ago. East to look elsewhere.
(5) Kendelu 4/1, Filled runners-up spot twice from reduced mark in October and duly resumed winning ways at Taunton (19f) 2 weeks ago. 4 lb higher mark leaves him with sound claims again in this groove.
2
2nd (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Colonel Manderson
7.5/1(+17%)
(3) Colonel Manderson 7.5/1, 5-y-o who didn't progress for Nick Williams. Still in share of second when falling 4 out over fences for new yard at Fontwell in October though, and not one to write off back over hurdles.
3
3rd (9) (7.5/1 +46%) Pottlerath
7.5/1(+46%)
(9) Pottlerath 7.5/1, Maiden who ran one of better races upon joining this yard when fourth of 17 at Chepstow (19.5f) in October, doing best of those ridden patiently. Tackles a longer trip now.

9/1(+44%)
(7) Freddy Fanatapan 9/1, Dual hurdles winner last term who hasn't been disgraced in a pair of big field handicaps at upto 21.6f in recent months. Assessor has relinquished his grip a little more but yet to win over this far.
5th
5th (15) (28/1 +30%) Merchant In Milan
28/1(+30%)
(15) Merchant In Milan 28/1, Little impact in points/over hurdles, looking set to be well beaten prior to unseating 3 out over extended 21f at Exeter last month.
6th
6th (12) (4.5/1 +50%) Flutiste
4.5/1(+50%)
(12) Flutiste 4.5/1, Maiden who has stepped up markedly on yard debut/reappearance effort with placed efforts at Chepstow/Exeter in recent weeks. This stiffer test worth exploring again now and not ruled out.
7th
7th (4) (7.5/1 -88%) Carry On The Magic
7.5/1(-88%)
(4) Carry On The Magic 7.5/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Minor promise on third of 3 starts in maiden hurdles at Chepstow (2m) last month and another who may step up now handicapping given he's in top hands. Tongue tied

8th (10) (22/1 -10%) Alramz
22/1(-10%)
(10) Alramz 22/1, Posted a career best when scoring at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in July and filled runners-up spot on 2 of last 3 starts. Didn't see his race out quite so well over 19f here last month, though.
9th
9th (14) (40/1 -186%) My Keepsake
40/1(-186%)
(14) My Keepsake 40/1, Fair form in bumpers and whilst she's finished well held in trio of novice hurdle events of late, she's entitled to hold more chance now handicapping. One to note in the betting.
|U|
|U| (13) (28/1 +44%) Master Tradesman
28/1(+44%)
(13) Master Tradesman 28/1, Maiden who found only a progressive sort too strong when 8.5 lengths second at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in September. Has proved a disappointment in 2 starts since, though.
10th
10th (2) (20/1 -122%) Viking Ruby
20/1(-122%)
(2) Viking Ruby 20/1, Dual hurdles winner last season. Failed to take to chasing but firm step back in right direction when third over hurdles at Market Rasen (23f) recently. A repeat should see her thereabouts again.
11th
11th (8) (40/1 -21%) Belle Jour
40/1(-21%)
(8) Belle Jour 40/1, Didn't shape at all badly when third on Rules debut in a Plumpton maiden hurdle in April, but well held completed starts since. Fitting of blinkers needs to perk him up.
12th
12th (11) (10/1 +38%) Puzzle Cache
10/1(+38%)
(11) Puzzle Cache 10/1, Landed a C&D mares' handicap in February and fitter for her comeback, she posted a good third in a 19-runner Exeter handicap (21.6f) last month. This step back up in trip rates a plus now.
13th
13th (6) (16/1 -100%) Mini Crest
16/1(-100%)
(6) Mini Crest 16/1, Made more of an impact when placed in handicaps at up to 23f during the summer. Testing ground/10 week break may have caught her out at Lingfield in October and she's not one to write off.

|PU| (1) (40/1 -60%) Clondaw Dancer
40/1(-60%)
(1) Clondaw Dancer 40/1, Showed some ability on 2 of 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles in 2019. Hard to draw positives from belated return/chase debut effort last month and blinkers fitted ahead of quick switch back to timber
|PU|
|PU| (17) (150/1 -838%) Junior Massini
150/1(-838%)
(17) Junior Massini 150/1, Dr Massini gelding who offered little only start in bumpers and similar story in trio of selling/novice hurdles so far this campaign. Big leap forward required to figure on handicap bow.

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.
