I would like to thank today’s sponsors Weatherbys and all of our dedicated casual staff who’s help and support is vital to the smooth running of today’s race meeting.

I wish you all an enjoyable and successful day and have a safe journey home.

BHA RATINGS

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.

A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

LAST TIME AT FAKENHAM

Fakenham RACECOURSE

Wednesday 27th October 2021

The final meeting in October saw Greene King host their annual raceday, with the Greene King IPA Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase the feature contest on a six-race card.

The 2m Class 3 feature saw three promising novice chasers head to post, with the Harry Cobden-ridden Atholl Street heading both the weights and the betting for champion trainer Paul Nicholls. The six-year-old had made an impressive start to life over hurdles last term when winning twice at Taunton before Christmas but ran no sort of race when last seen being pulled up in the Dovecote earlier in the year. The Jeremy gelding raced far too keenly on what was his chase debut, however, and was no match in the end for fellow debutant Paddys Motorbike under Sam Twiston-Davies, in receipt of five pounds. The jockey recorded his second course success of the season in the process, making all thanks to an impressive display of jumping from the nine-year-old to continue the excellent form of Cardiff-based trainer Sam Thomas, with 11 lengths separating the pair at the line. Cenotice ran with plenty of encouragement back in third for Donald McCain and Brian Hughes.

Earlier in the card, Barbados Blue showed plenty of promise on her chase debut for Nicky Henderson to land the Fakenham Mares’ Novices Handicap Chase over 2m5f under Nico de Boinville.

The Getaway mare ran another solid race to finish third over hurdles when last seen at Market Rasen in May and always

looked in control on this occasion to score by five-and-a-half lengths from the Henry Daly-trained Precious Eleanor.

In receipt of two pounds from the winner, the favourite A Little Chaos could only manage a distant third for trainer Stuart Edmunds.

Arguably the most impressive performance of the afternoon came in the opening Brian Bush is 60 ‘National Hunt’ Maiden Hurdle over 2m when Grandeur D’ame justified strong market to support to win impressively in the hands of Gavin Sheehan by some 20 or so lengths. In fairness, the race was made considerably easier for the Alan King gelding when his chief mark rival

DON ’T M I S S O U R N E X T M E E T ING

SUNDAY 19th DECEMBER - CHRISTMAS MEETING SEE YOU THERE! Hermes Bellevue blundered and unseated Harry Cobden two out, although the eventual winner did look to be travelling best of the pair at the time. The TwistonDavies team picked up the secondplace spoils with their less-experienced four-year-old Nine Nine Nine, with the remainder well strung out behind.

The 2m Fillies’ Juvenile Hurdle on the card, sponsored by Sky Sports Racing, looked a tricky puzzle to solve on paper but the market eventually spoke in favour of last-time-out-winner Aliomaana for her in-form connections. The 3lb-claiming Mitchell Bastyan looked to have every chance on the favourite turning in but was quickly picked up and passed by the strong-finishing debutante Malakahna for fellow 3lb-claimer Charlie Todd. The Ian Williams-trained filly fetched €40,000 in the summer and looks well-placed for further success over obstacles following this effort.

The market had it right in the 2m Greene King Handicap Hurdle later in the card, though, as the well-backed Vocal Duke travelled strongly throughout and was eventually eased down to win by six lengths in the hands of 3lb-claimer Kevin Brogan. Toby Lawes’ progressive five-year-old was following up a winning effort at Uttoxeter some three weeks prior but was unable to extend his winning streak to three in a competitive novice handicap at Cheltenham last Friday.

The final race on the card, the Greene King IPA Novices’ Handicap Chase over 3m, went the way of Seamus Mullins and a third winning 3lb claimer on the day in Kevin Jones, as he guided Tommie Beau to a five-length victory over the TwistonDavies’s Macfin to make it four wins in a row for the Brian Boru gelding. Only half-a-length prevented the pair from combining for a fifth win on the bounce at Fontwell earlier this month.

WEATHERBYS RACE PREVIEWS The team at Weatherbys are delighted to be sponsoring three of today’s seven races, starting with the opening contest, the Weatherbys e-Passport Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.

NO COMMENT Just four go to post for this 2m event, with two of the quartet having finished runner-up on their most recent starts. Auditoria is the most experienced hurdler in the field and finished second over course-and-distance last month, although this looks a stronger race.

Miss Mulligan was rated 79 on the Flat and won twice from 15 starts, and made an encouraging start over hurdles, when runner-up to Blue Bikini at Plumpton. A little too keen, she would hold strong claims if relaxing a little more.

Pollypocket finished third in a good bumper at Southwell on debut in May (runner-up won recently over hurdles) and got off the mark at the same track during the summer. She makes her debut over hurdles for trainer Alex Hales, whilst Terresita makes her racecourse debut for Lucy Wadham and Bryony Frost.

Wadham and Frost also team up in the weatherbysnhstallions.co.uk Handicap Chase, with Little Light, who is one of three who share top-weight. The seven-year-old has never quite lived up to the promise she showed in a couple of Irish Point-to-Points and this is her second start on the back of a wind-operation.

Only six take their chance in this 0-100 event, with the pick of them The Some Dance Kid and Sabbathical. The former represents the in-form yard of Donald McCain and is another to have recently undergone wind surgery. He is another who looked highly promising in the early part of his career (winner of three novice hurdles) and remains lightly-raced as a chaser.

Evan Williams’ Sabbathical arrives here on the back of a solid recent run, when runner-up at Ffos Las just nine days ago. A reproduction of that effort should see him go close, although he would prefer the ground to be a little softer.

The penultimate race on the card is the Weatherbys Hamilton Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase, in which the weights are headed by course winner Xcitations, for trainer Pam Sly. A smooth winner of a handicap hurdle at this track in March, he made his debut over fences at Huntingdon last month, where he finished runner-up behind the 153-rated hurdler, Millers Bank. At his best on decent ground, he looks sure to go well and connections enjoyed a winner at Wetherby over the weekend with Fransham.

Only five take their chance in this race, but it is difficult to rule any of them out with any real conviction. Major Dundee makes his chasing debut here and was a good-ground novice hurdle winner at Chepstow in March, whilst The Golden Rebel finished behind No Comment at Worcester in September. Philip Hobbs’ 10-year-old finally got off the mark at Huntingdon recently (on his 13th chase start) and boasts considerably more experience than the rest of this field. However, it is Quoi de Neuf who is feared most and can give Xcitations most to think about.

A smart hurdler (4th in the Greatwood just two years ago), he ran well in a novices’ handicap chase at Aintree this time last year, when splitting Canelo (winner of the Rowland Meyrick) and Time To Get Up (winner of the Midlands National).
