THE TIMEFORM VIEW DIAMONDS FOR LUCK sets the standard on a brace of runner-up efforts this autumn so he looks the percentage call. Just Call Me Lucy will have hopefully derived plenty from his Hexham run and is a huge threat on her bumper form, with Rumoursareflying likely to be involved.

Barrabooka has the form to play a part on the back of his debut Carlisle third, with hurdling newcomers Big Zouk and Bells of Ufford not discounted either, especially if the market vibes are positive.

GBB RACE
Condition & Coat - Racehorses are athletes and the way their coat looks and the way it moves easily over their muscles reflects the horses overall condition. The coat should look smooth, clean and have a glossy shine, but pay attention to Greys and lighter coloured Chestnuts, as they won't carry such a sheen to their coats, which is not for want of trying, they just have the equine equivalent of mousey hair and remember that Greys often require much more work and effort to get clean. Quarter marks are the patterns put onto the coat on the horse's hindquarters or shoulder. They are made using a damp brush, wiped against the natural lie of the coat. Much like brushing velvet the wrong way.
The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES SAFETY & SECURITY - KNOW THE RACEDAY/EVENT PLAN
ACTIONS TO KEEP YOU SAFE AND ENHANCE RACECOURSE SECURITY Arrive early and minimise what you carry, which will speed up entry if bag searches are in operation. BE VIGILANT: If you see anything suspicious, inform a racecourse member of staff immediately. If you see anything that could pose an immediate threat to safety, dial 999. In an emergency: if INSIDE a stand, follow the instructions of the public address system or staff. If OUTSIDE, our advice is RUN, HIDE & TELL. If told to evacuate do not wait around to film on your mobile. Follow instructions provided to help ensure your safety. Once away and safe, for advice and incident updates follow the local Police Force on X. For additional information, check the racecourse website and social media.
To Plait or not to Plait - to win Best Turned Out a horse does not have to be plaited. Some horses do not like having their heads touched and get over-excited when being plaited as it indicates they could be off to the races. If a horse is not plaited it should not go against them, providing their loose mane is short, tangle-free and even, and lying on the right hand side of the horse's neck. Plaits should be small, neat and uniform with an odd number of plaits along the neck and one at the front.

Tails you win! - Doubtless at some point you will have heard that you should not stand behind a horse! For racing grooms the trust they build with their horses means you may see some in the Parade Ring with a plaited tail. If tails are loose they must be tangle-free, not too long, and there should be no wisps of bedding or hay in the tail.
We do the hard work
Lucky Pick wallets
£20 bet bundles available on Sandown and Aintree racing today
No foot no Horse - Horse's legs, particularly white markings, known as socks or stockings, must be clean. Sometimes chalk is used to brighten these marks. Feet should be well shod and hooves oiled. Best Dressed - All items of clothing (tack) the horse wears should be in good condition and clean.

TIMEFORM VIEW Back to form in cheekpieces when winning a 4-runner handicap chase at Newcastle at the end of February but pulled up in 2 subsequent outings during the spring. Fared little better back from 6 months off at Bangor so TFRHHIII BHA136 plenty to prove back over the larger obstacles.
TIMEFORM VIEW Irish point winner who bettered hurdles form at the first attempt when close fourth on chase bow over 21.3f here on return, doing all her best work late in the day returned to a trip well shy of her optimum. Jumping failed the test at Carlisle but she could be worth another chance. TFRHHHHH BHA112

THE TIMEFORM VIEW LADY IN THE PARK failed to complete on second chase start at Carlisle but she looks worth another chance as there’s mileage from this sort of mark over a staying trip. Are U Wise To That should step up on his reappearance and that makes him dangerous, with Rockinastorm fit and in form.

Here 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.

TIMEFORM VIEW Likeable type who confirmed previous promise when merely pushed out to win 6-runner handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, soft) in March.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The market should prove revealing but Lucinda Russell looks to hold a strong hand and CABALLO DE GUERRA is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Krugerrand could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent Newcastle second, with Russell’s other debutants Mystical Martika and Eagles Reprieve also worthy of consideration.
