14:30 – Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 4 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
A compact six-runner mares’ novice, but it is not short on intrigue. Viscountess Nelson brings the clearest piece of winning hurdle form and, with Nicky Henderson and James Bowen behind her, is the obvious one to beat. That said, she has to concede weight all round and this does not look a gimme against a couple of unexposed 4yos. Evening Tess has twice filled the runner-up spot and her allowance makes her a serious threat, while Elated has the sort of solid profile that could easily see her hit the frame again. Frenati is a little harder to trust after falling last time, and the other pair need plenty of improvement. In truth, the market has this about right, but the weight structure gives the race a bit more shape than a straightforward Henderson penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Evening Tess – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 56-22 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 105
Evening Tess appeals as the one with a bit of upside at the prices. She has finished second on her last two starts, so there is no mystery about her current wellbeing, and that Topspeed figure of 105 is the standout in this field. As a 4yo she receives weight from the older mares, and in a race where the favourite has to shoulder 163lb, that could prove decisive up Fontwell’s finish. Dan Skelton’s novices are usually well placed and Harry Skelton is the ideal man for this sort of tactical contest. Available at 5/2, she looks the value to turn solid placed form into a win.
Bet: WIN
2. Elated – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ben Jones | Trainer: Ben Pauling | Form: 533-3 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 85
Elated is not especially flashy, but she is reliable and that counts for plenty in a race lacking depth. Her 533-3 profile tells you she keeps running her race, and a mark of 112 puts her right in the argument on bare figures. The latest third suggested she remains on track, and Ben Pauling’s team are always worth respecting in these mares’ novice events. At 9/2 she makes more appeal as an each-way play than a win bet, especially with only two places on offer, because she looks the type to keep finding and pick up another cheque if the principals underperform.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Evening Tess is the win play, chiefly because her recent form is solid and the weight concession from Viscountess Nelson could be telling. Elated is the each-way punt at 9/2 for those wanting a bit of insurance in a small field. The danger is plainly Viscountess Nelson, who sets the standard on hurdle form and is hard to dismiss despite top weight.

15:00 – Sun Racing The Home Of Racing Handicap Chase (Arc Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This has cut up a bit with Footloose Man out, and that leaves a small but fairly competitive handicap chase where the market has understandably latched on to A Little Something. Emma Lavelle’s mare arrives off a win, has the joint-best rating in the field and gets in here with just 10st 13lb, which is a handy setup around Fontwell. Gore Point looks the obvious danger after some solid placed efforts and is the type to keep finding at this level, while Atreides is capable if bouncing back from a lesser run. The fly in the ointment is that this is not a deep race, so tactics and jumping rhythm may decide plenty. It is not a vintage Class 5 by any means, but there are enough angles here to make it interesting rather than straightforward.
Top Selections
1. A Little Something – 6/4 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ben Jones | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: 3P22-1 | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 101
She is hard to oppose in this company. That latest win was a deserved reward for a sequence of solid efforts, and the profile suggests she has found her level over fences now. A mark of 115 is workable, the Topspeed figure of 101 is the best on offer here, and carrying 153 looks a major plus against exposed older rivals lugging bigger weights. Ben Jones is a neat booking for one who should be held up and delivered late if they go a decent clip. At 6/4 she is no giveaway, but in a race lacking depth she makes plenty of appeal as the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
2. Gore Point – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies | Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Form: 25342- | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 98
He looks the sensible each-way play, especially now this is a compact field where reliability counts for plenty. Gore Point has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, but those recent figures read well enough for a race like this and he does not have much to find on ratings. Sam Twiston-Davies is an eye-catching rider booking and should suit a horse who usually travels into his races before grinding it out. The slight concern is whether he is becoming expensive to follow, but 3/1 with Bet365 still gives him a fair chance of making the frame and possibly more if the favourite underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
A Little Something is the clear win play, with her recent victory, light weight and best Topspeed figure giving her the strongest claims. For those wanting a saver, Gore Point is the each-way option because he is consistent and should be thereabouts again. Atreides is the main danger if returning to his earlier form, but the vote stays with the Lavelle mare.

15:30 – Celebrating The Life Of Trevor Schooley Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This may only be a five-runner handicap, but it is not lacking for interest. Granny Hawkins arrives on a four-timer and is the obvious progressive angle, while Almuhit has the strongest recent piece of placed handicap form and looks the solid benchmark under Harry Cobden. Sun Joy is another with a case if forgiven a flat return, whereas Sixty Plus has questions to answer after tailing off and Break Point has plenty to find on the figures despite being lightly raced. In a race where there is not much room for hiding, tactical speed and clean jumping around Fontwell will matter plenty. It is a small-field contest, but not an easy one, and the market principals look set to dominate.
Top Selections
1. Almuhit – 6/5 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Faye Bramley | Form: 2772-4 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 114
Almuhit makes plenty of appeal in a race where reliability could count for plenty. He signed off last season with a solid second and returned with a respectable fourth, so there is no fitness leap of faith needed here. His mark of 119 is workable in this grade and that Topspeed figure of 114 is the best in the field, which immediately catches the eye in a race lacking depth. Cobden is an obvious positive in a tactical little contest like this, and at 6/5 he looks the one most likely to give his running. Granny Hawkins is feared, but Almuhit sets the standard on the balance of recent handicap form.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Almuhit is the win bet. There is no each-way angle worth forcing in a field this small. Granny Hawkins is the clear danger given her winning streak, while Sun Joy could get involved if bouncing back, but Almuhit looks the safest and strongest option.

16:00 – Weatherbys Racing Bank Handicap Chase (Arc Summer Chase Series Qualifier) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
A four-runner handicap chase rarely leaves much room for hidden angles, and this looks a fairly tight little contest despite the small field. Special John arrives in winning form for Sam Thomas and sets a solid standard on recent evidence, while Gata Ban is the obvious danger after getting back on track last time and receives a chunk of weight from the market rival. Ballyfinn has a bit to prove after failing to back up a previous win, though Anthony Honeyball’s runners always command respect in this sphere, and Edgewell needs to shrug off a poor latest effort. Tactics could be crucial around Fontwell in a race of this size, but the one with the most convincing recent profile is hard to get away from.
Top Selections
1. Special John – 11/8 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Matt Griffiths | Trainer: Sam Thomas | Form: 1552-1 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 103
Special John looks the percentage call. He signed off last time with a win, his recent form figures are the most reliable in the line-up, and that Topspeed mark of 103 says he has the raw ability to cope with this grade. Sam Thomas has his horses generally well drilled over fences and this seven-year-old still has the profile of one who can edge forward again rather than having already shown everything. The weight burden is no gift, but in a race lacking depth you can forgive that. At 11/8 he is no giveaway, but he still makes most appeal as the runner with the fewest doubts. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in this four-runner race: Special John is the win bet and the only sensible play under these conditions. There is no each-way angle with just one place on offer. Gata Ban is the clear danger on the figures and the weight swing, while Ballyfinn is the one who could nick a place if the race gets tactical.

16:30 – Jewson Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but it is not short of plausible angles. Galactic Jack, Mistress Fox and Kylenoe Dancer head the obvious shortlist on recent form, while Kates Choice arrives off a win and is entitled to plenty of respect despite a higher mark. The shape of the race suggests something with a bit of tactical pace and a clean round will be hard to peg back around Fontwell, and that immediately brings the Moore-trained Galactic Jack into focus. Mistress Fox has the best Topspeed figure in the field and arrives on the back of a much better effort, while a few at bigger prices, notably A Tickatickatiming and Easter Icon, are capable of outrunning the market. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Galactic Jack – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Caoilin Quinn | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: /P43-3 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 81
Galactic Jack makes plenty of appeal in a race where a lot of these have questions attached. His latest third was another solid step in the right direction, and that piece of form reads well enough for a modest contest like this. He is one of the less exposed types in the line-up as a 6yo, he gets in off 157, and the Moore team know exactly what is required around this track. Caoilin Quinn is a positive booking and, at 7/2, he looks the percentage call rather than a flimsy favourite. If he builds on that latest run, he holds strong claims of getting his head in front. Bet: WIN
2. A Tickatickatiming – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Marc Goldstein | Trainer: Sheena West | Form: /243P- | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 70
A Tickatickatiming is the each-way play at the prices because his better efforts put him firmly in the argument, and this is not a deep race. His pulled-up effort when last seen is an obvious blot, but the runs before that included a couple of respectable placed efforts that make him very competitive in this grade. He is back from a break, which may help, and Sheena West’s runners can often pop up in these staying handicap hurdles when the market has cooled on them. Off a mark of 98, and available at 10/1, he looks the value option for those wanting something beyond the front end of the betting. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Galactic Jack is the win bet; he has the most convincing recent profile and looks the safest option in a race full of patchy sorts. For an each-way punt, A Tickatickatiming makes more appeal than the shorter-priced alternatives at around 10/1. Mistress Fox and Kylenoe Dancer are the main dangers, while Kates Choice is respected despite the rise for that last-time-out success.

17:00 – Cathedral Wealth Ahead Of The Field Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 5.6) (watered) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a five-runner handicap hurdle but it still revolves around one very obvious angle: whether anything can trouble Muskerry Rock now he has finally clicked over staying trips. Dan Skelton’s 7yo returned from a break to score last time and, in a race lacking depth, that piece of recent winning form stands out. Jack The Savage is the one with a bit of back class for this level and Sean Bowen is an eye-catching booking, while Alan Bresil and Fravanco look the sort who can keep galloping without necessarily finding much off the bridle. Good Girl Rachel gets plenty of weight but needs to improve. It’s not a deep Class 5 by any means, and in truth it looks more straightforward than tricky.
Top Selections
1. Muskerry Rock – 4/6 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 0/08-1 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed:
Muskerry Rock is hard to oppose in a race like this. The profile had been patchy before that latest success, but the key point is that he arrived there off a break and got the job done, suggesting this staying handicap route may have opened things up for him. Off a mark of 106, he is top-rated in the field and represents a yard that tends to do well when placing this type. Harry Skelton is an obvious positive in a small field where position and rhythm matter. At 4/6 he is no giveaway, but he still looks the most likely winner by some margin. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in this five-runner race: Muskerry Rock is the win bet and the only bet. Each-way punting makes little appeal with just two places on offer and a short-priced favourite dominating the shape of the race. If you want a danger for forecast purposes, Jack The Savage makes the most appeal, with Alan Bresil the one who could nick a place if this turns tactical.
