14:50 – Mortal Bunny Rum Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a six-runner affair but it is not a bad little Class 5 at all, with several arriving in decent nick and very little between them on the figures. Lion Of The Desert comes here on the back of back-to-back wins and is the obvious progressive angle, while Juggernaut has been knocking hard on the door and looks well treated if returning in the same mood. October Hill is another with solid handicap form who should be involved, and Red Rubio remains unexposed after just three hurdle runs. Lemon Leaf won last time and cannot be dismissed either, so this feels more competitive than the grade suggests. In a small field, tactical positioning and who handles the softest patches best could make the difference.
Top Selections
1. Juggernaut – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: James Robottom | Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Form: 34322- | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 106
Juggernaut is the one that makes most appeal at the prices. He signed off last season with a string of solid efforts, including back-to-back seconds, and that form reads well enough in the context of this race. A mark of 119 asks a question, but he carries only 156 and his Topspeed figure of 106 is the best on offer here, which matters in a race where there may not be much hiding place. Honeyball’s runners are usually well schooled and this looks a realistic opening for a conditional jockeys’ event. Available at 9/2, he looks the value against shorter-priced rivals.
Bet: WIN
2. October Hill – 6/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Rian Corcoran | Trainer: David Pipe | Form: 34823- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 94
October Hill is not obviously ahead of the assessor, but he is consistent, proven in this sort of company and should not be underestimated in a race lacking much room for error. He ended last campaign with a pair of placed efforts and his profile suggests he will give you a run for your money again. David Pipe knows exactly what is required in these staying handicap hurdles and this six-year-old has enough tactical pace to hold a position in a small field. At 6/1, he is the sensible each-way punt, especially with a few of these still needing to prove they can back up recent promise under pressure.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Juggernaut is the win play at 9/2 because his recent handicap form is solid and his speed figure gives him a narrow edge. October Hill makes most appeal for the each-way option at 6/1, as he looks reliable enough to hit the frame. The obvious dangers are Lion Of The Desert, who is progressive, and Lemon Leaf, who arrives off a win and is open to a bit more.

15:20 – Happy 1st Birthday Donnacha Fenelon Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 4 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a tight little novice on paper, but in truth it may not take a huge amount of winning. The market has understandably centred on One Knight and The Flaggy Shore, and it is easy to see why given both have already shown they know where the winning post is over hurdles. Fiskardo is the interesting one against them, arriving with less exposed hurdle form and a useful yard angle, while the two outsiders, Kenobi and Brenda Lady, have plenty to prove in a race where basic jumping efficiency could be decisive. Over this sharp enough 1m7f on soft ground, tactical speed and slick hurdling should matter at least as much as outright stamina. It is not a deep race, but it is just tricky enough to make taking a short price feel far from straightforward.
Top Selections
1. The Flaggy Shore – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: David Noonan | Trainer: Ben Clarke | Form: 126- | Rating: | Topspeed:
The Flaggy Shore makes most appeal in a race where proven hurdle form counts for plenty. His 126- profile tells a straightforward story: he learned on the job, won, and then backed that up with a solid placed effort before ending last season with a run that still leaves him with plenty of upside. He gets weight from the two older geldings and that could be quite important on this ground. Ben Clarke does well with these unexposed types, while David Noonan is the sort to keep things uncomplicated in a small field. At 15/8, he is not exactly thrown in, but he looks the one with the cleanest overall profile and the least guesswork attached. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only five runners, this is a win-only race from a betting point of view and The Flaggy Shore gets the vote. He brings the most convincing hurdle form and the weight concession helps. One Knight is the obvious danger on past winning form and could easily make this tactical, while Fiskardo is the one to keep an eye on if there is market confidence behind him.

15:50 – Happy 1st Birthday Idris Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is not much of a deep novice handicap, but it does look a fairly workable little contest with a few arriving on the back of solid enough spring efforts. Green Asset heads the market and is easy to see why after finishing runner-up on his latest start, while Glenmuick also comes here off a second and has the sort of profile that suggests this longer trip could suit. Hard Stare has become expensive to follow but is not short of ability for this level, and Poet’s Muse is another with place claims despite having no standout figure. In truth, it is the kind of Class 5 hurdle where attitude and stamina will count for plenty, and I would much rather side with the runners who are at least arriving in form than take a leap of faith with the exposed or regressive types.
Top Selections
1. Green Asset – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Fenelon | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 54352- | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 84
Green Asset makes plenty of appeal in a race where there are not many obvious improvers. He was a fair second on his latest outing, his form has a solid look for this grade, and that Topspeed mark of 84 is the best in the field, which immediately catches the eye in a contest like this. As a 4yo, he still has a bit more upside than most of these exposed older handicappers, and an opening mark of 89 does not look beyond him if he sees out this staying trip properly. At 7/2 with Bet365, he is hardly a giveaway, but he is the one with the strongest all-round case. Bet: WIN
2. Glenmuick – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Lilly Pinchin | Trainer: Charlie Longsdon | Form: 58792- | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 81
Glenmuick looks the sensible each-way play. He signed off with a runner-up effort, and that came after a sequence of runs suggesting he was beginning to get the hang of things rather than going the wrong way. He has a workable profile for a race of this nature, travels well enough to hold a position, and this near-3m trip could easily draw out a bit more from him. Lilly Pinchin is a positive booking in these staying hurdles, and while a mark of 91 asks a question, it is not an impossible one in this company. At 9/2 with Bet365, he looks a perfectly fair each-way punt in an 8-runner field. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Green Asset is the win play because he brings the strongest recent form and the standout Topspeed figure in the field. Glenmuick is the each-way alternative, with his latest second and likely stamina making him attractive for place purposes. Hard Stare is the obvious danger if putting it all together, while Poet’s Muse is not entirely dismissed in a race that does not take much winning.

16:20 – Francky Du Berlais Novices’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 4 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a four-runner novice handicap chase, but it is not quite the walkover the market might suggest. Hell Hound arrives off a win and is the obvious one to beat for Neil Mulholland, yet Loki’s Mischief brings the highest rating in the field and looked to be getting the hang of things when scoring last time. Jack’s Jury is less flashy on the clock but gets plenty of weight and could make this tactical if Brendan Powell is positive, while Axel Bleue has enough bits of placed form to argue he is not entirely out of it. In a race lacking depth, jumping and stamina over this near 3m trip will decide plenty, and I would rather side with the runner who looks to be progressing at the discipline than the short-priced favourite.
Top Selections
1. Loki’s Mischief
Jockey: Lorcan Williams | Trainer: Chester Williams | Form: /2P2-1 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 101
Loki’s Mischief appeals most in a race where there is not much room for hiding. He comes here off the back of a win, his mark of 114 is the best in the field, and that Topspeed figure of 101 stands out at this level. The overall profile suggests a 6yo still learning his chasing job, but learning quickly, and this small field could suit if Lorcan Williams can keep him into a smooth rhythm. Hell Hound is respected, obviously, but he has to concede weight to a rival who may just have the stronger upside. If this turns into a proper test from some way out, Loki’s Mischief looks the one most likely to improve past them. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
In a four-runner race, keep it simple: Loki’s Mischief is the win bet. He has the best rating in the line-up, arrives here with momentum and looks the runner still going forward. Hell Hound is the clear danger and is hard to dismiss after his latest success, while Jack’s Jury could nick a place in the run of things if the principals underperform.

16:50 – Adept GRP Cabinets Mares’ Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This does not look a deep mares’ handicap chase and, for all there are a few with bits and pieces of form, the race rather revolves around Bridget Mary. Rebecca Curtis’s mare arrives off a win, has the best recent profile in the field and already looks well established as the one the others have to knock off. The obvious question is price, because she is short enough in a seven-runner race. Shesupincourt is the interesting alternative after running in better company at times and her topspeed figure catches the eye, while Lynsey Larue has been knocking on the door without quite getting her head in front. Just A Memory is capable on older form but comes here with a bit to prove after two pulled-up efforts. It is not a vintage contest, but there is at least a clear pecking order.
Top Selections
1. Bridget Mary – 8/11 with Bet365
Jockey: Rian Corcoran | Trainer: Rebecca Curtis | Form: 23P21- | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 64
She is hard to oppose in this company. That 23P21- sequence tells a straightforward story: generally reliable in this grade and ending last season with a deserved success. An official mark of 104 does not look beyond her and, in a race lacking depth, she sets the standard on recent form rather than old memories. Curtis does well with these staying types and this trip on soft, good to soft in places should hold no fears. At 8/11 she is no gift, but sometimes the obvious answer is the right one, and she looks the mare most likely to run her race and outstay these. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Shesupincourt – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Brendan Powell | Trainer: Ryan Potter | Form: 3P574- | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 101
She is not the most straightforward conveyance, but there is enough in her profile to make 4/1 appealing as the each-way alternative. That form line is patchy, no question, yet she has been competing from a workable mark and her topspeed figure stands out in a race like this. Brendan Powell is an eye-catching booking for a mare who can travel into these contests if in the mood, and if she gets into a rhythm over this longer trip she could easily be the one chasing home the favourite. She is not bombproof, but in a field of this quality she makes plenty of each-way sense. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Bridget Mary is the win play and the one to keep things simple with, even at restrictive odds, because her recent form is the cleanest in the race by some distance. For an each-way punt, Shesupincourt makes more appeal than the other alternatives at the prices. Lynsey Larue is the obvious danger if reproducing her better placed efforts.

17:22 – Adept GRP Cabinets Mares’ Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 4.4) (watered) (rail movements (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This doesn’t look a deep mares’ novice handicap, but it is the sort of race where one with a bit of untapped stamina can suddenly take a step forward. Forest Spirit heads the market after a fair third last time and is entitled to be prominent again, while Mystical Mabel appeals as another with a workable profile after shaping better on her latest start. Barafundle Bay is still unexposed after only two runs over hurdles, and Kates Choice would have been interesting had she not fallen when still involved last time. Jlow has a big Topspeed figure on the page, though her profile is hard to trust, while La Belle Argentee and Freddiemissmolli need to leave modest recent efforts behind. Tricky enough, but not impossible: this may come down to who handles the trip and the ground best.
Top Selections
1. Forest Spirit – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 09753- | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 50
Forest Spirit is hardly bombproof, but she makes most appeal in a race where plenty arrive with questions hanging over them. Her third on her latest outing was her most encouraging bit of handicap hurdle form yet, and an opening mark of 95 doesn’t look beyond her if this extra yardage helps draw out a little more. James Bowen is the sort of booking that catches the eye in a contest like this, and she’s one of the few in here who still feels capable of a bit of progress rather than merely holding her level. At 10/3, she’s no giveaway, but she does look the likeliest winner.
Bet: WIN
2. Mystical Mabel – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Freddie Mitchell | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: F406-3 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 85
Mystical Mabel is interesting as the one bringing a slightly different angle to the race. She’s a 4yo taking on older mares, but she ran well enough when third on her latest start to suggest she can be competitive from this sort of mark, and her rating of 100 gives her a touch of class in a modest affair. There’s enough pace and resolution in her profile to think this trip can work, and Freddie Mitchell takes off weight from a mare who doesn’t need to improve a huge amount to hit the frame. With 6/1 available, she looks the sensible each-way play against the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Forest Spirit is the percentage call for the win bet, simply because her recent run is solid and she looks one of the few open to improvement. Mystical Mabel is the each-way angle at 6/1 in a nine-runner race with three places on offer. Barafundle Bay is the obvious danger if she improves for handicap company, while Kates Choice is not easily dismissed despite that latest fall.
