THE TIMEFORM VIEW ROADLESSTRAVELLED created a good impression when making a winning hurdling debut at Maket Rasen 18 days ago and, with the timefigure supporting his performance, he’s fancied to improve and defy a penalty at the first time of asking. Marlacoo and The Grafter are other likely improvers, and they are considered the main threats.
TIMEFORM VIEW Showed some promise in a pair of bumpers for Sam Allwood and shaped even better sent hurdling in a first-time tongue strap after 8 months off when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 27 days ago, a late error costing him second. Should improve.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW TEDLEY looked a natural when making a winning debut over fences on his comeback at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago and is fancied to follow up if this doesn’t come too soon. William Cody is a solid alternative, with King’s Threshold best of the others.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW LUCCIA sets a clear standard on her Grade 1 efforts in the spring and is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The James Owen-trained Sweet Fantasy might be the one to give her most to do as the drop back to 2m may not be ideal for Royal Eagle and Take No Chances.
at Wetherby Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have three specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action There is also a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer in attendance. During the race, three vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW BRAVEMANSGAME took this event in 2022 and although he didn’t hit the same heights last term he has a good record fresh and looks the one to beat on the back of breathing surgery Irish challenger Conflated is on a lengthy losing sequence but also has the form to have a say
Today’s meeting and its feature race are named after former local trainer William ‘Charlie’ Hall. Born in 1903, he was the second of three brothers who were all to become succesful racehorse trainers; Tom & Sam were the brothers.
Based at Towton, near Tadcaster, Hall’s training career began in the Autumn of 1945, with his first winner being Culworth at Wetherby in November of that year.
Magnetic Fin gave Hall his first important victory when winning the 1948 Scottish Grand National at Bogside. He established a succesful partnership with owner and breeder, Clifford Nicholson, and rose steadily to the top of his profession, finishing as Champion Trainer in 1955/56. His most notable success came in the 1956 Champion Hurdle with Mr Nicholson’s DoorKnocker
In all, Charlie Hall trained 584 winners under National Hunt rules during a 31-year career, including a remarkable 169 winners at his local track Wetherby. He also trained 100 winners on the flat.
Charlie Hall retired in 1975, handing his license to his stepson assistant Maurice Camacho, who in turn handed over to his daughter Julie Camacho. Charlie Hall passed away two years after his retirement, at the age of 75.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW WILLIETHEBUILDER was firmly back on track after 8 months off/following wind surgery when narrowly denied in a C&D handicap 17 days ago and with further progress on the cards, he could well be the answer here. Southwell scorer Goblet of Fire is another improving sort and he’s feared, along with the returning Spirits Bay
