1. 1.20 BetWright Bet The Wright Way “Hands And Heels” Handicap Hurdle

(Class 5) 2m 3f 147y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Kopa Kilana (IRE) (Master RPR: 109)
2. Walkinthewoods (IRE) (Master RPR: 100)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Kopa Kilana (IRE): Form figures are 334228. This horse was again prominent in the betting at Fontwell 11 days ago but finished tailed off. Kopa Kilana’s hurdle record is 0-26, though he has placed 12 times, making him firmly frustrating. He possesses the form capability to be in the shake-up if aided by first-time blinkers (b1).
• Walkinthewoods (IRE): Form figures are 32R4-1 L. He recently won a three-runner chase off 1lb higher at Plumpton in May (2m3f, good). He is now rated 5lb higher over fences and has won twice over hurdles previously, meaning he has to be taken very seriously.

Spotlight Verdict:
A few horses have chances in an open handicap. KNIGHTSBRIDGE (nap) appeared to be outstayed over further when showing plenty more on his handicap debut here and gets in off an untouched mark. Last year’s third and course winner Don Rafael is second choice, followed by Nollyador and Walkinthewoods.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups: 4yo 0-0-1, 5yo 0-0-2, 7yo 0-1-1, 8yo 0-0-2, 9yo 1-0-1.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Olly Murphy 1-0-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Kopa Kilana (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highest Master RPR in the race (109); the addition of first-time blinkers might spark improvement in this talented but frustrating horse.
  • Weaknesses: A consistent maiden over hurdles (0-26); finished tailed off in his most recent run 11 days ago.
  • Suitability: Has the underlying form required for this class (Class 5, Rated 0-105).
• Walkinthewoods (IRE):
  • Strengths: A recent winner over fences; respected due to previous hurdle wins.
  • Weaknesses: Master RPR (100) is slightly lower than some key rivals.
  • Suitability: His recent form over fences suggests fitness, and he is capable over hurdles.

2. 1.50 BetWright Bangers N’Cash EBF Junior “National Hunt” Hurdle

(Class 4) 2m 53y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Gallic Melody (IRE)
2. Planters Punch

Recent Form and Comments:

• Gallic Melody (IRE): Form figures are 7 P. This horse was beaten 14 lengths in a Huntingdon bumper (good; 9-2) 27 days ago. He is the only runner with the benefit of experience. He was not overlooked in the betting for his bumper debut.
• Planters Punch: Form figures are – -. This is the third foal of a dam placed in a bumper/2m hurdle. He is a half-brother to winners Jack Hoola (2m3f hurdle) and Taranis Dubh (point). Being trained by a top yard (N Henderson) gives him obvious appeal.

Spotlight Verdict:
Gallic Melody didn’t show much in his bumper but he wasn’t friendless in the betting and having the benefit of experience could count for something. However, AQUA BLEU has a nice pedigree and he edges preference over Planters Punch and Dakota Star.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups: This race is strictly for 3yo horses.
• Trainer Records: Not provided in the sources for this race.
• Fate of Favourites: Not provided in the sources for this race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Gallic Melody (IRE):
  • Strengths: Benefit of a recent run, which may sharpen him up.
  • Weaknesses: Poor performance on bumper debut (beaten 14l).
  • Suitability: Experience is a minor advantage in this field of novices/debutantes.
• Planters Punch:
  • Strengths: Hails from a top yard (N Henderson); pedigree suggests potential for jumping (half-brother to hurdle winners).
  • Weaknesses: Debutante, lacking competitive experience.
  • Suitability: Brings obvious appeal based on connections and breeding.

3. 2.20 BeatWright: Beat The Wright Way Novices’ Handicap Chase

(Class 4) 3m 1f 44y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Copshill Lad (IRE)
2. Djo Dela Barriere (FR)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Copshill Lad (IRE): Form figures are 55535- P. He is making his chase debut. He is only 2lb above the mark he defied over hurdles on stable debut last season (2m6f, soft). Although he has been hit and miss since then, he is very capable of landing a blow.
• D’Jo Dela Barriere (FR): Form figures are 555511 P. He won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las before returning to fences at Ludlow where he finished alone after being left in isolation three out (a gifted victory). He jumped soundly enough and was raised 3lb for that win.

Spotlight Verdict:
The recent Ludlow winners might be worth taking on as Gris Majeur was perhaps flattered to win quite so well and D’Jo Dela Barriere was gifted his victory. Redbridge Rambler might give Gris Majeur more to think about here but the two chasing newcomers both appeal, as THE LONG POINT is probably the one open to most improvement and Copshill Lad is only 2lb higher than his winning mark over hurdles.

Race Statistics:

• Race Statistics are not provided in the sources for this specific race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Copshill Lad (IRE):
  • Strengths: Favourable mark based on his past winning hurdles form; immense potential on chase debut.
  • Weaknesses: Has a “hit and miss” record.
  • Suitability: Appeals greatly as an unexposed chasing newcomer.
• D’Jo Dela Barriere (FR):
  • Strengths: Confirmed winner over fences (albeit gifted). Jumped soundly last time.
  • Weaknesses: His latest win was fortunate; carries a 3lb rise.
  • Suitability: Expected to be in contention.

4. 2.50 BetWright Safer Gambling “National Hunt” Maiden Hurdle

(Class 4) 2m 3f 147y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Getarose (IRE)
2. Riviera Walk (IRE)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Getarose (IRE): Form figures are 4 H. She finished fourth in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) 18 days ago. The winner of that race, At The Oche, subsequently ran well at Ascot. There are, however, question marks over what she actually achieved in the small field.
• Riviera Walk (IRE): Form figures are 100-2 H. Her bumper record is mixed. She made an encouraging hurdle debut when second to a Skelton favourite at Chepstow. This looks like an easier opportunity.

Spotlight Verdict:
Riviera Walk would appear to face an easier opening than when second at Chepstow but there are improvers lurking, with Tufton and Peter’s Last Deal falling into that category. The newcomer MONTEMARES also comes into it as he wouldn’t need to be anything special to get involved.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups: 4yo 1-4-23, 5yo 2-7-33, 6yo 5-1-9, 7yo 0-0-3, 10yo 0-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 11311111 (Indicates a very strong record for favourites).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Tom Symonds 1-0-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Getarose (IRE):
  • Strengths: Recent form is relevant and indirectly boosted by another runner. Trainer E Williams has good records.
  • Weaknesses: Doubts over the strength of her debut run given the small field.
  • Suitability: Potential for improvement in her second hurdle start.
• Riviera Walk (IRE):
  • Strengths: Encouraging hurdle debut; should find this contest less demanding.
  • Weaknesses: Mixed bumper record prior to hurdles.
  • Suitability: Strongly fancied runner based on form progression.

5. 3.20 The Injured Jockey’s Fund Novices’ Hurdle

(Class 4) 2m 53y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Constantinian (IRE)
2. Sun Art (FR)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Constantinian (IRE): Form figures are 31- L. He won his bumper having beaten a rival who has since impressed in a novice hurdle. That form marks him down as a useful prospect.
• Sun Art (FR): Form figures are 63351- L. He was keen previously, but won well at Ludlow in March (2m, good) when equipped with a first-time tongue-tie, defeating the odds-on favourite. He sets the standard here based on form.

Spotlight Verdict:
Sun Art sets the standard but his keen-going tendencies are a concern when he could be fresh first time back and CONSTANTINIAN is a useful prospect in his own right given the manner in which he disposed of a subsequent winning hurdler in his bumper.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups: 4yo 2-5-40, 5yo 6-6-33, 6yo 1-3-8, 7yo 0-1-6, 8yo 0-1-3, 9yo 0-1-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 111120111 (Indicates a very strong record for favourites).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Fergal O’Brien 1-1-2, Evan Williams 0-1-3.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Constantinian (IRE):
  • Strengths: Excellent bumper form which has been boosted; regarded as a useful prospect. Preferred by the Spotlight Verdict.
  • Weaknesses: Making his hurdling debut.
  • Suitability: High potential for successful transition to hurdles.
• Sun Art (FR):
  • Strengths: Sets the standard on hurdles form (beating a useful odds-on favourite); benefited from a first-time tongue-tie when winning.
  • Weaknesses: Prone to keenness, which could be an issue if running fresh after a break.
  • Suitability: Strong contender if his keenness can be managed.

6. 3.50 Join The 2026 Hereford Racing Club Handicap Hurdle

(Class 4) 3m 1f 119y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Doctor Kildare (FR)
2. Prince De Juilley (FR)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Doctor Kildare (FR): Form figures are P423-1 P. He was a workmanlike 2l winner last week at Bangor (2m7f, good). He was making his stable debut and running in first-time aids. Crucially, he has escaped a penalty for that recent win. If he reproduces that form, he holds clear claims.
• Prince De Juilley (FR): Form figures are 872212 L. He won by 4l at Stratford (2m6f, good) when visored initially, and then went close when second at Ludlow in blinkers. He is now 2lb higher but looks sure to go well.

Spotlight Verdict:
Recent course winner Flash In The Pan may have more to offer as a stayer but Prince De Juilley is considered the main threat to DOCTOR KILDARE who has escaped a penalty for last week’s successful stable debut at Bangor.

Race Statistics:

• Race Statistics are not provided in the sources for this specific race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Doctor Kildare (FR):
  • Strengths: Recent winning form; benefits significantly from escaping a penalty for last week’s victory, making him very well weighted.
  • Weaknesses: Only recently moved yards.
  • Suitability: Considered the primary selection (nap implicitly due to strong claims and penalty situation) and the horse to beat.
• Prince De Juilley (FR):
  • Strengths: Extremely consistent recent form (12 in last two starts). Sure to run well.
  • Weaknesses: Has received a 2lb rise.
  • Suitability: Regarded as the main threat to the favourite.

7. 4.20 Green Dragon Hotel Hereford Handicap Chase

(Class 5) 2m 8y

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Gerard Mentor (FR)
2. Let Me Go Boys (IRE)

Recent Form and Comments:

• Gerard Mentor (FR): Form figures are 566352 M. He has won over fences previously. He was running okay before his near miss back over hurdles at Stratford, where he ran in a visor (retained here). He appeals more than many in this field.
• Let Me Go Boys (IRE): Form figures are 8-3755 P. He was beaten roughly 30 lengths on his chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f). He was once placed over hurdles, but over a much longer trip (2m7f). The application of blinkers (tb1) needs to yield a significant difference.

Spotlight Verdict:
This looks very difficult. GERARD MENTOR is perhaps the one most likely to give his running and earns marginal preference over Hobie and My Portia.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups: 4yo 0-2-4, 5yo 0-2-8, 6yo 3-1-10, 7yo 1-2-15, 8yo 2-1-15, 9yo 0-2-7, 10yo 1-2-4, 11yo 0-1-4, 12yo 0-0-1, 13yo 0-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 4162103.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Matt Sheppard 1-0-2, Christian Williams 0-1-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Gerard Mentor (FR):
  • Strengths: Proven winner over fences. Recent form suggests he is in good order (near miss over hurdles).
  • Weaknesses: Recent race was over hurdles, testing fitness/form back over fences.
  • Suitability: Marginal preference in the Spotlight Verdict, suggesting he is likely to run his race.
• Let Me Go Boys (IRE):
  • Strengths: New headgear (blinkers) might bring about necessary improvement.
  • Weaknesses: Poor form shown on chase debut; unsuited by this sharp 2m trip, having placed previously over much longer distances.
  • Suitability: Only likely to feature if the new blinkers achieve a substantial turnaround.
