Race 1: 12:15 Boyle Sports Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase

(Class 4, 3m 45y, 8 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Great Notions (FR)	F Needham	Toby McCain-Mitchell	7/2
2	Jupiter Des Bordes (FR)	Richard Hobson	Charlie Maggs	11/4

Recent Form and Comments

• Great Notions (FR) (6yo): Has been consistent in points and hunter chases, securing three wins in total. He looks like a solid contender on his handicap debut and his first run under trainer Fiona Needham.
• Jupiter Des Bordes (FR) (6yo): Is a hurdles winner in France. He has shown largely consistent form in his four chase starts (at 2m4f/2m5f) for his new stable. His latest effort (in April) suggests that exploring this new trip (3m) is worthwhile, and he is respected.

Spotlight Verdict

Open to further improvement and interesting returned to Wetherby, chase debutant THE BIG BREAC is preferred. Jupiter Des Bordes (second choice) and Great Notions are solid-looking contenders among the remainder.

Race Statistics

Specific past winner/favourite statistics for this race were not provided in the same format as other meetings.

• Age Groups: Runners include ages 6 (x2), 7, 8 (x3), 9, 11.
• Trainer Records (Wins-Places-Runs on card): F Needham 0-0-1. R Hobson 0-0-1 (Lifetime 2-11).

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Great Notions (FR):
  • Strengths: Proven consistency in point/hunter chase sphere, appearing to be a solid contender for this debut.
  • Weaknesses: This is his handicap and stable debut, requiring him to transition successfully.
  • Suitability: Expected to be competitive and noted as a “solid-looking contender”.
• Jupiter Des Bordes (FR):
  • Strengths: Consistent recent form over shorter chase trips. The longer 3m trip is considered worth exploring.
  • Weaknesses: Unproven at the 3m distance.
  • Suitability: Respected and rated second choice by the spotlight.

Race 2: 12:50 Get The Boyle Sports App Novices’ Hurdle

(Class 3, 2m 3½f, 7 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Get On George (IRE)	J Parkinson & S Smith	Daniel McMenamin	13/8
2	Smart Decision	T D Easterby	Sean Quinlan	5/2

Recent Form and Comments

• Get On George (IRE) (5yo): Showed promise when runner-up in a Carlisle novice hurdle on debut. He did not, however, progress on his recent reappearance over 2m at Wetherby, suggesting he likely needs this longer trip (2m 3½f) to show his best.
• Smart Decision (4yo): Was progressive in juvenile hurdles last season, successfully winning all three of his completed attempts. His latest win was achieved comfortably at Hexham (2m, good). He is respected.

Spotlight Verdict

Progressive Smart Decision is respected assuming he stays the new trip. GET ON GEORGE is the other main player on hurdles form. Uptown Dandy (second choice) is interesting with progress plausible.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (Past Winners): 5-year-olds have the best record (7 wins, 11 places from 52 runs).
• Fate of Favourites (Past Winners): No clear trend is discernible from the short history (22234F2411).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Dan Skelton 2-2-5, Ben Pauling 0-1-2, Tim Easterby 0-2-9.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Get On George (IRE):
  • Strengths: Expected to benefit significantly from the step up in trip, which should allow him to show his best. Is noted as the “main player” on hurdles form.
  • Weaknesses: Failed to progress on his reappearance over 2m.
  • Suitability: Highly suitable if his form proves correct that he needs further than 2m.
• Smart Decision:
  • Strengths: Has a perfect juvenile hurdling record (3/3 completed attempts).
  • Weaknesses: Needs to prove he stays the new trip of 2m 3½f.
  • Suitability: Respected, but stamina over this distance is a question mark.

Race 3: 1.25 Colin Baldwin Memorial Handicap Hurdle

(Class 3, 2m, 8 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Hara Kiri (FR)	Olly Murphy	James Bowen	5/1
2	Saligo Bay (IRE)	Sam England	Jonathan England	4/1

Recent Form and Comments

• Hara Kiri (FR) (8yo): Belatedly completed a hat-trick on his reappearance last season. He was subsequently runner-up at Perth in April. This lightly raced 8-year-old goes well fresh and is open to further improvement for his good yard. Highly respected.
• Saligo Bay (IRE) (7yo): Secured two wins in September (Flat/hurdles) and was back on the scoresheet over C&D two weeks ago. He has won on soft ground previously and is clearly thriving.

Spotlight Verdict

The 4yo MARCHE D’ALIGRE returns from a break with trainer Jamie Snowden in excellent form and is taken to tap back into the considerable promise he showed late last year at the start of his hurdle career. The lightly raced 8yo Hara Kiri goes well fresh and is second choice on his return to action. An improved performance can be expected from Johnny Ringo.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (Past Winners): 5-year-olds have the most wins (4 wins from 15 runs), followed by 6-year-olds (3 wins from 19 runs).
• Fate of Favourites (Past Winners): Favourites have a mixed recent record (1031521311).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Only Peter Niven 0-1-1 is listed for recent performance in this race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Hara Kiri (FR):
  • Strengths: Excellent record fresh and seems open to further improvement. Trainer Olly Murphy is generally successful at Wetherby.
  • Weaknesses: Limited career runs for an 8yo.
  • Suitability: Highly respected due to his running style and freshness. Second choice in the spotlight verdict.
• Saligo Bay (IRE):
  • Strengths: Thriving horse with C&D winning form.
  • Weaknesses: Requires another step up in class/form to win this race.
  • Suitability: In excellent form and makes a strong case.

Race 4: 2.00 Boyle Sports Daily Money Back Meetings Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase

(Class 3, 1m 7f 36y, 5 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Meetmebythesea (IRE)	Ben Pauling	Callum Pritchard (5)	11/8
2	Ruby Island	Nicky Richards	Daniel McMenamin	4/1

Recent Form and Comments

• Meetmebythesea (IRE) (5yo): Won his first three hurdle starts and was a close third in the EBF Final on handicap debut. Connections are sending this point runner-up (on heavy ground) over fences immediately, and he looks a smart prospect.
• Ruby Island (8yo): Was runner-up on chase debut and recently won comfortably at Ayr (on her latest outing) by jumping well. She is a course winner.

Spotlight Verdict

Meetmebythesea was third in the EBF Final at Sandown when last seen and this point runner-up is the selection ahead of Ruby Island, who jumped well when winning comfortably at Ayr. Starcrossed Lover is next on the list.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (Past Winners): 7-year-olds have the most wins (2 wins from 9 runs).
• Fate of Favourites (Past Winners): The history is too short for a reliable pattern (1234).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Nicky Richards 1-0-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Meetmebythesea (IRE):
  • Strengths: Classy hurdler who ran well in the EBF Final. Has pointer experience on heavy ground, suggesting suitability for fences/testing conditions. Looks a smart prospect.
  • Weaknesses: Chase debut.
  • Suitability: Chosen as the favourite and selection in the spotlight.
• Ruby Island:
  • Strengths: Recent comfortable chase winner who jumps well. Has C&D winning form.
  • Weaknesses: Has already been beaten by Push The Button.
  • Suitability: Expected to be the main threat to the selection.

Race 5: 2.35 Boyle Sports Now Open In Wetherby Handicap Hurdle

(Class 3, 2m 5f 56y, 9 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Rocheval (FR)	Lucinda Russell & M Scudamore	P Wadge	6/1
2	Smokeringinthedark (IRE)	Nicky Richards	Daniel McMenamin	3/1

Recent Form and Comments

• Rocheval (FR) (6yo): Was a hot favourite at Kelso last Saturday. However, he was pulled up after the second hurdle, with the jockey reporting he had lost his action.
• Smokeringinthedark (IRE) (5yo): Won on his hurdling debut. His best performance since was when runner-up in a handicap debut at Hexham. He is a lightly raced youngster with potential from an in-form stable, giving renewed hope.

Spotlight Verdict

Several others are of interest but the two best options may be CARISMATIC SOLDIER, a raw sort last season who should raise his game this term for Olly Murphy, and Smokeringinthedark who is a 5yo with potential for Nicky Richards. It will be interesting to see if the backers return for Rocheval who was a hot favourite at Kelso last Saturday only to be pulled up after the second hurdle.

Race Statistics

Specific past winner/favourite statistics for this race were not provided.

• Age Groups: Runners include ages 5 (x2), 6 (x2), 7, 8 (x2), 9 (x2).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Nicky Richards 0-0-1 (Lifetime 10-42), J Parkinson & S Smith 0-0-1 (Lifetime 6-36).

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Rocheval (FR):
  • Strengths: Proven market confidence (hot favourite status previously).
  • Weaknesses: Major question marks surrounding his last performance, having been pulled up due to losing his action.
  • Suitability: Difficult to assess; needs to prove soundness and form immediately.
• Smokeringinthedark (IRE):
  • Strengths: Young (5yo), lightly raced, coming from an in-form stable (Nicky Richards). Showed solid form finishing second on his handicap debut.
  • Weaknesses: Still needs to improve further to win this competitive class.
  • Suitability: Highly recommended by the spotlight verdict, listed as having potential.

Race 6: 3.10 Boyle Sports Best Odds Guaranteed ‘Introductory’ Hurdle

(Class 2, 2m, 9 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Cueros (IRE)	Harry Derham	Mr P W Mullins	3/1
2	Fresh Perspective	Jamie Snowden	Gavin Sheehan	11/8

Recent Form and Comments

• Cueros (IRE) (5yo): Impressed at Newcastle in his single previous run (1) for his new trainer Harry Derham. He may be the chief danger to the favourite.
• Fresh Perspective (5yo): Has won a point and a bumper. He got back on track with an 8l win on his hurdle debut at Fontwell last month. He is a highly likeable prospect with leading claims, although he “could do with jumping better”.

Spotlight Verdict

Jamie Snowden has a highly likeable prospect on his hands in FRESH PERSPECTIVE who is taken to make it 2-2 over hurdles. Cueros impressed at Newcastle on his first run for Harry Derham and he may be the chief danger ahead of Dan Skelton’s French recruit Lirone Du Seuil.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (Past Winners): 5-year-olds dominate the history (6 wins from 20 runs).
• Fate of Favourites (Past Winners): Favourites perform strongly in this race (1122213).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Dan Skelton 1-0-4.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Cueros (IRE):
  • Strengths: Impressive recent winning debut for his new stable.
  • Weaknesses: Less experienced over hurdles than his main rival.
  • Suitability: Expected to pose the chief danger to the selection.
• Fresh Perspective:
  • Strengths: Strong winning form in points, bumpers, and on hurdle debut. Highly regarded by connections and the analyst.
  • Weaknesses: Needs to improve his jumping.
  • Suitability: Taken to win and is the strong selection.

Race 7: 3.43 Boyle Sports Home Of The Early Payout Handicap Chase

(Class 3, 2m 3f 85y, 8 runners, Going: Good to Soft)

Rank	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Odds
1	Cerendipity (IRE)	J Parkinson & S Smith	Gavin Sheehan	3/1
2	Heltenham (FR)	Dan Skelton	Charlie Todd	9/2

Recent Form and Comments

• Cerendipity (IRE) (8yo): Was consistent last season (including on soft/heavy ground). He is a course winner who recently reappeared with a solid second at Stratford. May be able to build on that latest performance.
• Heltenham (FR) (8yo): Won easily at Perth in April. Took a step back in the right direction when third at Fontwell last month. He is a course winner (novice hurdle in 2023 on soft) and drops back in grade.

Spotlight Verdict

Five-time hurdle winner ISSAM (nap) looked even better when switched to fences early this year and should have more to offer in this sphere. Geryville likes it here and is second choice ahead of recent Stratford runner-up Cerendipity and grade-dropper Heltenham.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (Past Winners): 7-year-olds have the best record (5 wins, 5 places from 25 runs).
• Fate of Favourites (Past Winners): Mixed history (1462521FPP1).
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Micky Hammond 0-2-6.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Cerendipity (IRE):
  • Strengths: Consistency and proved recent fitness with a solid second at Stratford. Handles testing ground and is a course winner.
  • Weaknesses: Needs to achieve a career-best performance to top the field here.
  • Suitability: Highly reliable and expected to feature strongly.
• Heltenham (FR):
  • Strengths: Drops back in grade. Proven ability on soft ground and is a course winner (hurdle). Recent third indicates returning form.
  • Weaknesses: Form last season included a P (Pulled Up).
  • Suitability: Contender status supported by grade drop and ability on soft ground.
