16:05 – Nationwide Concreting Ltd Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 4 | Going: 4.05, 4.40, 5.15, 5.50, 7.00 & 7.33 +36yds and 6.25 +54yds) (Good (goingstick 5.5) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This is only a five-runner handicap but it is not short on angles. Baltray is the highest-rated runner in the field yet carries just 10st 12lb, while Kom Tu Voudras has the class to win this if brushing aside that latest fall. Easter Icon arrives on the back of a win and has the best Topspeed figure in the line-up, so he brings obvious momentum into the race. Break Point is consistent enough at this level without looking obviously ahead of his mark, and Motazzen needs a bit more than he has shown in two runs since returning. In a race lacking depth, it may come down to who is best treated by the handicapper rather than raw ability, and Baltray looks the most interesting one on that score.
Top Selections
1. Baltray – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Ben Jones | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: P5-369 | Rating: 121 | Topspeed: 103
Baltray gets the vote because he is the top-rated horse in this small field and, crucially, does not have to lump top weight. That makes him very appealing in a race where a few of these have questions to answer. His recent form figures do not leap off the page, but he has been contesting races that give him every chance of making his presence felt at this level if returning anywhere near his best. Emma Lavelle’s runner is the type to look much better in a modest Class 4 than in deeper handicaps, and 10/3 makes enough appeal in a race where the market leaders all come with a flaw or two. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only five runners, this is a straight win-bet race and Baltray is the one to side with. He looks well enough placed off his mark and is preferred to Kom Tu Voudras, who is respected but comes here after a fall, and Easter Icon, who is feared most after his latest success. Keep it simple: Baltray to win.

16:40 – KSR Lighting Juvenile Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 4.05, 4.40, 5.15, 5.50, 7.00 & 7.33 +36yds and 6.25 +54yds) (Good (goingstick 5.5) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This does not look the deepest juvenile maiden hurdle run at Fontwell and, on the bare figures, Salkadan has set a clear standard. His third and 95 rating are miles more persuasive than most of these can offer, especially in a race packed with hurdling newcomers and a couple who have already shown only modest ability. Rum Diamond is the obvious market danger on debut, while Grey Sands is another interesting first-timer in a stable capable of readying one for this discipline. At the other end, Nicolai and Just Call Me Mo have already had their chance to advertise stronger claims and haven’t done so. In truth, this looks a race where proven hurdling ability could count for plenty, even if the favourite is short enough.
Top Selections
1. Salkadan – 4/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 3 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 34
He is hard to oppose. In a race where so many arrive with guesswork attached, Salkadan has at least shown he can operate over hurdles and his form figure of 3, backed up by a 95 rating, gives him a clear edge. Dan Skelton’s juveniles are rarely sent out undercooked and Harry Skelton is exactly the rider you want around a sharp, quirky place like Fontwell. The price is no giveaway, but 4/6 still makes sense if you simply want the most likely winner. Unless one of the newcomers turns out to be above average, this looks a straightforward opportunity for him to get off the mark. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Grey Sands – 8/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
For an each-way punt, Grey Sands appeals more than some of the bigger-priced rivals because at least he comes from a yard you can trust to place a juvenile sensibly. This isn’t a race full of hardened opposition and, beyond the favourite and the well-found Rum Diamond, it would not take a great deal to hit the frame. The 8/1 on offer makes him more interesting than the short-priced second favourite if you are playing for place security as much as win potential. He has to prove everything on debut over timber, of course, but in this company he looks the value alternative to the obvious pair. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Salkadan is the solid win play and the one with the standout piece of hurdling form in the field. If you want something at a more workable price, Grey Sands makes most appeal each-way in a race where several rivals are either exposed or complete unknowns. Rum Diamond is the danger if the market has him right, but the favourite still sets the standard comfortably.

17:15 – Fontwell Park Family Festival Raceday Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 4.05, 4.40, 5.15, 5.50, 7.00 & 7.33 +36yds and 6.25 +54yds) (Good (goingstick 5.5) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This does not look a deep novice handicap hurdle, but it is still an interesting little contest because the market principals arrive with different profiles. Delgany Second Now is the obvious one after getting off the mark last time and his mark of 104 leaves him setting the standard on paper. Onehundredneighty is the one with the slightly nagging habit of finding one too good, though he ran well enough on his return to suggest another race in him. Behind those, Kotari has bits of form that make him competitive in this grade if building on last season, while the rest need to raise their game. In truth, this looks more about who handles the trip and pace best than any hidden depth in the field.
Top Selections
1. Delgany Second Now – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 5-7751 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 91
He is hard to oppose in a race like this. That latest win was the first solid piece of evidence that things are starting to click, and the combination of a 104 mark and a standout Topspeed figure of 91 gives him a clear edge against largely exposed or unreliable opposition. The Skelton team are always dangerous in these modest novice handicaps, and Harry Skelton is exactly the rider you want on a horse still learning his job. At around 11/10, there is nothing flashy about the price, but he looks the most likely winner and the one with the strongest recent form line. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Kotari – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Freddie Mitchell | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: /3/34- | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 71
Kotari makes more each-way appeal than most of these because he has at least shown he can be competitive without looking badly treated. His form figures are light, but that 3/34- sequence suggests he has been thereabouts in similar company and a mark of 96 is workable in a race lacking depth. The Moore yard knows Fontwell inside out, which always matters around this quirky track, and if he settles and travels, he could easily pick off a few of these after the last. At 15/2, he looks the sensible each-way punt behind the favourite rather than some wild swing at a shock. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Delgany Second Now is the win play because he brings the best recent form, the best figures and the most obvious upside. For an each-way option in a seven-runner race with three places, Kotari looks the value against rivals who have more to prove. Onehundredneighty is the obvious danger if he stops finding trouble or one too good.

17:50 – KSR Lighting, The Ultimate Lighting Solutions Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 5 | Going: 4.05, 4.40, 5.15, 5.50, 7.00 & 7.33 +36yds and 6.25 +54yds) (Good (goingstick 5.5) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This is only a seven-runner Class 5, but it has a fairly clear shape to it. Youdecide arrives off a decisive win and is the obvious one, especially with Ben Pauling’s yard knowing how to place this type, while Of Corse I Can looks the main threat from the foot of the weights if this turns into a test of efficiency rather than raw class. Edgewell is capable on his day but comes here after a let-down run, and there are question marks over several others, notably Pawpaw and Helios Allen, who both return from absences. It’s not a deep race, and that usually makes the market leader dangerous, but there is still a bit of each-way value if you’re prepared to oppose the obvious one for second spot.
Top Selections
1. Youdecide – 1/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Ben Jones | Trainer: Ben Pauling | Form: 444P-1 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 84
He is hardly hiding from the assessor off 103, but that latest win suggests he has found his level and there was enough authority about it to think he can follow up. Ben Jones is a positive booking in these staying handicaps and the Pauling team tend to do well when they find a small-field opportunity like this. He doesn’t have masses in hand on the figures, but in a race where several rivals have either gone missing or arrive with questions to answer, the solid option is often the right one. Even at evens, he is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Of Corse I Can – 3/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Bradley Harris | Trainer: Neil Mulholland | Form: 456-55 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 83
He has not been banging the door down, but there is enough consistency in his profile to make him the sensible each-way alternative in a race lacking depth. The mark of 100 looks workable, he gets in with just 145, and his topspeed figure of 83 says he is not miles off the favourite on the clock. Neil Mulholland’s runners often pop up in these ordinary handicap chases when the conditions are right, and good ground around Fontwell should suit a horse who can travel and jump without too much fuss. At 3/1 in a seven-runner race, he looks the one most likely to chase the favourite home. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Youdecide is the win bet because he has the strongest recent form and the fewest questions hanging over him. For an each-way play, Of Corse I Can makes more appeal than the more exposed or absent rivals and looks solid for the frame. The obvious danger is Edgewell if bouncing back, while Pawpaw is the wild card after time away.

18:25 – Glorious Spa Company Mares’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 4.05, 4.40, 5.15, 5.50, 7.00 & 7.33 +36yds and 6.25 +54yds) (Good (goingstick 5.5) (watering) (rail movements) | | jumps
This is a tight little mares’ handicap rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to a handful with solid recent form. Steal A Glance brings the best mark in the field and arrives after a good second, while Camshaft and Luna Run are closely matched on official figures and both come here with plenty to recommend them. The interesting angle is the trip: over 3m1f at Fontwell, this could easily turn into a proper test of rhythm and stamina rather than a simple class exercise. Mobile Mamma has bits of form that give her a squeak, but she needs to bounce back from a flat effort. Overall, it looks competitive enough for seven runners, but not an impossible puzzle if siding with the more progressive profiles.
Top Selections
1. Steal A Glance – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Chad Bament | Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Form: 3-9552 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 91
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of these have already shown their hand. That latest second suggested she is coming to the boil again, and a mark of 106 leaves her clear at the top of the weights on figures without looking harshly treated. The four-year-old allowance angle is gone in handicaps, but there is still the sense that she has a bit more upside than some of these exposed mares. Honeyball knows the time of day in this sphere, and at 5/2 she looks the one with the strongest blend of current form, raw ability and scope to progress again over this sort of staying trip.
Bet: WIN
2. Luna Run – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul O’Brien | Trainer: Harry Derham | Form: 73-613 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 88
Luna Run looks the sensible each-way play in a race lacking much depth beyond the obvious contenders. Her recent profile is solid rather than flashy, but that is no bad thing in a Class 5 mares’ handicap, and the win followed by a placed effort says she is holding her form well. She is on the same mark as Camshaft but carries less weight, and her Topspeed figure of 88 stacks up nicely in this company. At 4/1 she is not exactly hidden, yet she still feels the value if this turns into a thorough stamina test and the favourite has to work hard late on.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Steal A Glance is the win play as the most likely improver and the runner with the strongest recent piece of form. Luna Run appeals as the each-way option in a seven-runner field, especially with three places on offer. Camshaft is the obvious danger if brushing aside last time, while Mobile Mamma is the one who could outrun her price if Harry Skelton can revive her.

This looks a competitive little six-runner handicap chase rather than a deep one, and there are several with perfectly solid claims. Person Of Interest arrives off the back of a good second and has the services of Harry Cobden, while A Little Something had been on a sharp upward curve before failing to complete last time. She Is For Me Boys has been knocking on the door all summer and brings dependable recent form, whereas Merely A Detail still has the scope of a 5yo over fences if brushing aside that latest void effort. The lurker is Martin’s Denuo, who is chasing a four-timer despite being just a 4yo. In a race where plenty can be argued for, jumping fluency around Fontwell’s twists may decide it as much as raw ability.
Top Selections
1. Person Of Interest – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Faye Bramley | Form: 9-U612 | Rating: 118 | Topspeed: 100
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where there are one or two questions to answer about the main rivals. That recent second was another solid effort in the right grade, and the earlier win in his profile suggests he is holding his form well rather than merely treading water. A mark of 118 looks fair enough, and his Topspeed figure of 100 is a useful pointer in this company over a sharpish 2m1f. Cobden is an eye-catching booking and, at 2/1, he is not exactly a giveaway, but he does look the one with the most straightforward, reliable claims if putting in a clean round. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. She Is For Me Boys – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Isabelle Ryder | Trainer: Jamie Snowden | Form: 33-213 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 91
She is the each-way angle in a race lacking depth, especially as her profile screams consistency. The form figures tell the story: she has been running well for a while and that latest third kept the momentum going after a win and a second on her previous two starts. Off 117, she is only 1lb lower than the selection and doesn’t have much to find on the figures, while Snowden’s runners in this sort of summer jumping race are rarely turned out for a day trip. At 7/2, she is not a wild price, but in a six-runner field with two places on offer she looks a sensible each-way punt if again jumping accurately and travelling into it. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Person Of Interest is the win play because he brings the strongest recent balance of form, speed and trustworthiness. She Is For Me Boys is the each-way alternative in a race where consistency counts for plenty. A Little Something is the obvious danger if bouncing back from that latest non-completion, while Merely A Detail has the profile to get involved if his jumping stands up.

This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but not an impossible one to unpick. The market is likely to revolve around God Of Fire and Raffles Nobu, and that makes sense as both arrive with the most convincing recent profiles. God Of Fire is lightly raced over hurdles and still open to a bit more progress, while Raffles Nobu has been knocking on the door in similar company and doesn’t look overburdened despite being 5lb wrong at the weights on official figures. Best Night has bits of form that give him a squeak, and Aggagio is respected for a local yard, but he returns from a break. In a race lacking depth, recent match fitness and a clean round may count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. God Of Fire – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 24/14 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 82
He’s the one I want to be with. That form string is tidy for this level and, crucially, he already looks like a horse still heading the right way rather than one merely treading water in low-grade handicaps. An opening mark of 100 doesn’t look harsh given he won last time, and the O’Neill team know exactly how to place this type once they get their confidence up. Jonjo O’Neill Jr is a positive booking in a race where rhythm will matter around Fontwell. At 3/1 he isn’t being missed, but he still makes the most appeal as the runner with the clearest scope to improve past these. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Best Night – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rian Corcoran | Trainer: David Pipe | Form: 6-5234 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 96
Best Night is the each-way alternative because he has the profile of one who should give you a run for your money in this company. He has been holding his form reasonably well, with the 5234 sequence suggesting he’s thereabouts without quite getting his head in front, and that Topspeed figure of 96 is one of the better numbers in the field. David Pipe’s runners in these late-summer handicap hurdles always warrant respect, and if Rian Corcoran can keep him handy he ought to travel well for a long way. Available at 15/2, he looks a solid each-way punt in a race where several rivals have bigger questions to answer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
God Of Fire is the straightforward win play and looks the safest option in a modest finale. For those wanting a bit more insurance, Best Night makes plenty of appeal each-way with three places on offer and arrives with reliable enough recent form. Raffles Nobu is the obvious danger if reproducing his recent consistency, while Aggagio is one to note if fit after the break.
