17:42 – KSR Lighting, The Ultimate Lighting Solutions Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This isn’t a deep race, but it is a mildly awkward little handicap where a few arrive with something to prove. Washington Singer comes here off a win and makes obvious appeal for a yard that tends to do well around Fontwell, while Jamaicaine had a productive spell before signing off with a lesser effort. Herbygoesbananas is still lightly raced and looks the type to do better in this sort of company, whereas Miss Goldfire has the ability but not much recent reliability. Lower down the weights, Bradman is interesting if bouncing back from a poor final run of last season. With Purple Owl a non-runner, the shape looks fairly straightforward and I’d expect the race to be decided by whichever of the principals settles best and sees out the trip strongest rather than by any hidden plot horse lurking in the weights.
Top Selections
1. Washington Singer – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Dylan Johnston | Trainer: Chris Gordon | Form: 53451- | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 88
He looks the percentage call. That latest win suggests he arrived at the end of last season in good order, and although a 4lb rise asks a slightly stiffer question, this doesn’t look a brutal Class 5 by any means. Chris Gordon’s runners are often well placed in these staying hurdle handicaps and Washington Singer has the look of one who should cope fine with this sort of test. He’s not thrown in, but he is solid, arrives with recent winning form, and plenty of his rivals are coming here after below-par efforts or pulled-up runs. At 5/2 he’s hardly hiding from anyone, but he’s still the one I’d want onside. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Herbygoesbananas – 7/1 with Betfair
Jockey: J P O’Neill | Trainer: Henrietta C Knight | Form: /4663- | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 77
He makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter-priced alternatives because there’s still a bit of untapped potential here. A five-year-old in this field immediately catches the eye, and his latest third hinted that he may just be finding his feet in handicaps now. Off 162lb and a mark of 102, he doesn’t need to improve dramatically to get seriously involved, especially against older rivals who look more exposed. J P O’Neill is a positive booking and the yard can ready one after a break. Available at 7/1, he looks the value each-way play in a race where several of the market principals have questions attached. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Washington Singer is the sensible win bet after ending last season on an upward curve and he sets the standard on recent form. For an each-way punt, Herbygoesbananas looks the one with a bit more upside than most in this line-up. Jamaicaine is the obvious danger if bouncing back quickly, while Bradman is not impossible at a bigger price if forgiving that last pulled-up effort.

18:12 – Mercedes-Benz Of Chichester Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 4 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a pretty interesting novice for the grade, with the market understandably centred on Flash Man and La Cadalora, who both arrive with winning form and the sort of ratings that set the standard. Flash Man posted a solid 116 when scoring last time, while La Cadalora is only 2lb lower and clearly going the right way for Harry Fry. Mega Etoile is the one who adds a bit of depth, getting plenty of weight as a 4yo and bringing respectable figures to the table, while Tetsworth is another lightly raced sort who could still have more to offer. After that, it starts to thin out quickly. It is not an impossible puzzle, but the top of the market does look stronger than the rest.
Top Selections
1. La Cadalora – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: Harry Fry | Form: 71- | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 79
La Cadalora appeals as the one most likely to keep progressing. She improved from her debut to get off the mark on her second start over hurdles, and that form already gives her a major say in a race like this. Harry Fry’s novices are usually well drilled, and Bryan Carver is a positive booking around a sharp enough track like Fontwell where rhythm matters. The 114 mark leaves her right on the premises, and there is a fair chance she has not shown the full extent of her ability yet. At 7/4 she is no giveaway, but she still makes most appeal as the win play in a race where some of these have questions to answer.
Bet: WIN
2. Mega Etoile – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonathan Burke | Trainer: Henrietta C Knight | Form: 4084- | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 82
Mega Etoile looks the value alternative if you want to play each-way. He has not yet got his head in front over hurdles, but his mark of 111 makes him competitive and the 143lb burden is a notable help against some more exposed rivals. There was enough encouragement in that latest fourth to think he can nick some prize money in this company, and his topspeed figure stacks up perfectly well for the grade. Jonathan Burke is the sort of rider you want on a young horse who still needs organising, and 6/1 feels fair in a 14-runner race with three places on offer. He may not have the upside of the favourite, but he is a solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
La Cadalora is the percentage call to win, with the form profile of a progressive novice and fewer holes in her case than most. For an each-way option, Mega Etoile makes plenty of appeal getting weight and looking capable of running into the frame. Flash Man is the obvious danger on the figures, while Tetsworth is the one at a bigger price who could outrun his odds if tidying up his jumping.

18:42 – KSR Lighting Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is the sort of low-grade staying chase that can make fools of the lot of us, but there are still a few fairly solid signposts in the field. Gata Ban heads the market on the back of a string of respectable efforts and looks sure to be involved again, while Valirann Gold arrives with the most persuasive recent profile after a consistent spell in similar company. Boys Of Wexford is another with obvious claims after getting his head in front last time, whereas Ballyfinn and Anytrixwilldo have the sort of form that gives them squeaks if things fall right. It is not a strong race in any deep sense, but it is competitive enough, and over this trip the one who jumps cleanly and settles best will probably take it.
Top Selections
1. Valirann Gold – 5/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ben Godfrey | Trainer: Harriet Brown | Form: 34142- | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 95
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of these are either hard to trust or look a shade exposed. That recent sequence of 34142- tells its own story: he has been running his race again and again, and his second last time suggests he remains right on the boil despite the break. An official mark of 105 is workable in this company, and his Topspeed figure of 95 stacks up very well for a Class 5 staying chase. Ben Godfrey gets the leg-up for Harriet Brown and, at 5/1, he looks the one with the best balance of solidity and upside. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ballyfinn – 17/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Chad Bament | Trainer: Anthony Honeyball | Form: /3744- | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 96
There is a fair chance Ballyfinn ends up being the one punters wish they had not left out of the places. He has not been finishing with a flourish lately, but those two fourth-place efforts suggest he is holding his level well enough, and this is not a race packed with lurkers on impossible marks. His rating of 107 is one of the stronger figures in the line-up, and a Topspeed of 96 says he still retains ability. Anthony Honeyball’s runners in this sort of modest handicap are rarely sent out without purpose, and 17/2 feels fair for an each-way play in an 11-runner field. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Valirann Gold is the win play because he brings the most convincing recent profile and looks dependable in a race where that counts for plenty. Ballyfinn is the each-way option at a backable price, especially with three places on offer. The obvious dangers are Gata Ban, who should run his race again, and Boys Of Wexford, who comes here off a win and cannot be dismissed.

19:12 – Racey Stranger’s Birthday Bash Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is not a deep novice handicap, but it is a pretty trappy Class 5 where only modest improvement may be needed. Anthracite heads the market despite not having achieved much beyond a fair third last time, while Man Oh Man arrives off a runner-up effort and looks one of the more reliable types in a race short on solid profiles. Answer That has hinted that a race like this is within reach, and Rapid Mission has the highest mark in the field but comes with questions after a string of defeats. The Moore team run three, with Mystical Mabel and Jacquetta perhaps the more interesting of them, but neither is bombproof. In truth, this looks the sort of race that will be decided by who handles the trip best and finds most off the bridle.
Top Selections
1. Man Oh Man – 7/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: D Summersby | Form: 73P72- | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 88
He is hardly a rampant improver, but in this company you do not need to be. That latest second stands out as one of the better recent efforts on offer, and his figures suggest he has at least been holding his form better than most of these. A mark of 92 looks workable, his Topspeed figure stacks up well enough for the grade, and Bryan Carver is the sort you want in a race that may turn tactical. At 7/2 with Betfair, he makes plenty of appeal as the runner with the fewest holes in his profile. This is not flashy, just solid. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Answer That – 11/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Tom Cannon | Trainer: Chris Gordon | Form: 45035- | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 87
Answer That is the each-way play because he has been giving the impression that a race of this nature could fall his way if things drop right. His recent form is not spectacular, but that third two starts back reads well enough in the context of this contest, and he was not disgraced when fifth on his latest outing either. Chris Gordon does well with this type around southern tracks, and Tom Cannon is an obvious positive booking. Off 94, he is not obviously thrown in, but he does have a bit of substance to his profile and 11/2 with William Hill looks fair for a horse who should be competitive. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Man Oh Man is the win bet in a race where dependability counts for plenty and his recent second gives him strong claims. Answer That is the each-way option at 11/2, with his profile suggesting he can at least hit the frame. Anthracite is the obvious danger if building on his latest third, while Rapid Mission has enough ability to get involved if rediscovering more than he has shown lately.

Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper little staying handicap chase for the grade rather than a weak Class 5, with several arriving in form and not much between them on official figures. Majestic Moment is the obvious one after ending last season with back-to-back wins, but he is short enough in a race where Known Warrior has been knocking loudly on the door and Footloose Man is weighted to get involved. Le Galli Bier has youth on his side and should keep improving over fences, while Begin The Luck comes here off a win and has to be respected despite his age. It is the sort of contest where clean jumping and track position round Fontwell’s twists will matter plenty, and I would not call it straightforward despite the favourite’s profile.
Top Selections
1. Known Warrior – 11/2 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Harry Bannister | Trainer: Richard J Bandey | Form: 86422- | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 102
Known Warrior makes plenty of appeal as the one most likely to run his race again. He signed off with two second-place finishes, suggesting a win of this nature is well within reach, and his mark of 114 does not look beyond him in this company. Harry Bannister is a positive booking for a horse who should be seen to good effect around this sharp track if he can hold a handy position. He is not the sexiest profile in the line-up, but he is solid, proven enough, and the 11/2 on offer looks fair in a race where the favourite may be a touch cramped. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Footloose Man – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: James Best | Trainer: Richard Hobson | Form: 55512- | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 106
Footloose Man is the each-way angle because he looks nicely treated at the weights and arrives in decent nick. He ended his campaign with a win followed by a runner-up effort, and racing here off just 148 gives him obvious scope to be competitive against rivals carrying quite a bit more. His topspeed figure is among the better ones in the field too, which hints he has enough ability for this grade if his jumping holds up under pressure. At 8/1 he makes more appeal than a few shorter in the market, and in a nine-runner race with three places, that is a perfectly sensible each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Known Warrior is the win play at a workable price, as he brings the strongest blend of recent consistency and a mark he can exploit. Footloose Man is the each-way option, helped by a light weight and solid closing form. Majestic Moment is the obvious danger if he picks up where he left off, while Le Galli Bier also has the profile to go well if improving again over fences.

Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary but quite workable closing bumper, with the market understandably circling the handful who have already shown something under Rules. Major Dino sets the form standard on figures and has the best published rating in the line-up, while Knight Crossing and Magnifix Du Moulin both shaped with promise when making the frame on debut. There are also a few completely unexposed types such as Lightsoutandaway and Savanna Storm who could easily step forward for good yards, so it is not a race to treat as straightforward. Fontwell bumpers can turn tactical, and in a field of nine the one who settles best and finds a bit off the home turn will probably take it. I would rather side with proven form than guesswork, but there is still some value to be had.
Top Selections
1. Major Dino – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul O’Brien | Trainer: Henrietta C Knight | Form: 0/3- | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 99
Major Dino is the solid one in the race. That 3 last time leaves him with the strongest piece of recent bumper form on offer, and a mark of 115 stands out in this company. The bare form line of 0/3- is not flashy, but it is better than most of these can bring, and this does not look a deep Class 5 by any means. Paul O’Brien is a positive booking and Henrietta Knight’s runners are usually well prepared for these quieter opportunities. At 5/2 he is not exactly hiding from the assessor or the market, but he is the likeliest winner if reproducing his latest effort. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Magnifix Du Moulin – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Freddie Keighley | Trainer: Richard Hobson | Form: 3- | Rating: | Topspeed:
For an each-way play, Magnifix Du Moulin makes plenty of appeal. He shaped nicely when third on his debut and, as a 4yo getting plenty of weight, he has a very obvious chance of building on that first start. Richard Hobson knows the time of day with this type and Freddie Keighley takes off useful weight from an already handy racing burden, which could matter if this turns into a proper test from some way out. He does not have the hard numbers that Major Dino brings, but he has the look of a horse who should come on a bundle for experience. At 13/2, he looks the value each-way against rivals with shorter prices and no better profile. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Major Dino is the sensible win bet because he brings the strongest established form and sets the standard on ratings. For those playing each-way in a nine-runner race, Magnifix Du Moulin looks the percentage call at the prices, with improvement very likely. Knight Crossing is the obvious danger, while Lightsoutandaway is the interesting unknown if the market speaks in his favour.
