RACECARD EXPLAINED

B g Virtual (FR) - Ballyburn Rose (IRE) Gavin Sheehan

Mr T. J. McDonald John Joseph Halon, Ireland William Quinn

TIMEFORMVIEW Won Galway Plate, Grade 1 hurdle in the US and Grade 2 chase at Sandown last season. Not at best in this year’s Galway Plate and freshened up since. Really smart chaser but biting off more than he can chew in this company.

Aquick wayto see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent ﬁnishing positions.

Look out for Letters:

C = Has won at this course

D = Has won over this distance

CD = Has won over this distance at this course

BF = Was a beaten favourite

- = New racing season

/ = Missed racing season

P = Was pulled-up and didn’t ﬁnish the race

F = Horse fell

U = Rider unseated

R = Horse refused to race

CO = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse

B = Horse was brought down

S = Horse slipped

r = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a ﬂat race

d = Disqualiﬁed

Bold form

ﬁgures = performance in allweather (Flat) or Pointto-Point (Jump) races

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race

Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey

7. Saddlecloth number

8. Horse’s name

9. Days since the horse last run

10. Horse’s age

11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs)

12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam)

13. Horse’s owner

14. Horse’s breeder

15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

BETTING EXPLAINED

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

SAINTANAPOLINO has hinted at temperament but there was plentyto like about the way he knuckled down at Taunton last time and this lightly-raced 6-y-o could easily have more to offer Gold For Alec is another who is going the right way and is second choice ahead of Court In The Act, who can leave last month’s Windsor run behind.

The run ofthe race was hardly conducive to an impressive display, so the fact TRIPOLI FLYER was still able to open up in taking fashion late on at Musselburgh on his most recent outing suggests he has smart potential, so he’s the strong choice to come out on top in the likelihood he£ ll raise his game plenty more now taking on better company. Miami Magic ran a cracker when second in the Grade 1 Formby on Boxing Day and sets the standard on that effort, with Starcrossed Lover also interesting.

LOWRY’S BAR: Following its run on 19/1/2025 it was reported that the horse made a bad mistake. DEEPER BLUE: Following its run on 20/4/2024 it was reported that the horse made several jumping errors.

Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Hyland (FR), 13-2 Lowry’s Bar (IRE), 8-1 Our Power (IRE), Beachcomber (FR), 9-1 Katate Dori (FR), 11-1 Golden Son (FR), 18-1 Tahmuras (FR), Heltenham (FR), Charlie Uberalles (GB), 22-1 Guard Your Dreams (GB), 40-1 Corrigeen Rock (IRE), Deeper Blue (FR), 50-1 Unanswered Prayers (IRE)

Novices hold a strong hand here with HYLAND being the obvious one after his excellent second in the Kauto Star over C&D on Boxing Day. He looks on a nice mark back in a handicap so shades the vote over the equally progressive Lowry’s Bar This has likely been the long-term target for 2023 winner Our Power and he looks the pick of the seasoned campaigners.

Having showed improved form to make a winning chase debut at Wincanton, IDEAL DES BORDES progressed again when chasing home a fellow, thriving sort over 3m here 2 weeks ago Appealing as the type to do better still, he earns the vote to quickly resume winning ways Bad has the ability to play a part and is feared along with Bourbali. Top-weight Blow Your Wad is an intriguing runner returning from a spell on the sidelines.
