‘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.

Blinkers worn ﬁrst time by No 4. Tongue Strap worn by No 1, 2.

Running for the ﬁrst time since Wind Surgery No 2.

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Moor End (IRE), 4-1 Diesel Line (IRE), 5-1 Push To Pass (IRE), 13-2 Tea And Chats (IRE), 17-2 Slide Rule (GB), 12-1 Mach Ten (IRE), 25-1 Kap de Triomphe (FR), Les’s Jersey Royal (IRE), 28-1 King of The Lake (GB), 100-1 Dance To Fame (IRE)

DIESEL LINE advanced his form when runner-up in a big-ﬁeld Taunton handicap last time and with that form having been well advertised since, he looks the way to go here. Moor End is feared most on the back of his own good recent Warwick runner-up effort, although handicap-debutant Slide Rule has the potential to have a big say too.

PLAY SMARTER

GOLDENACE has been crying out fora returnto 2m andthis race could betailor-made for Jeremy Scott’s star. Greatwood winner Burdett Road excelled himself in the Christmas Hurdle, leading until 2 out and likely to have ﬁnished even closer had he not belted the last. He’s the forecast selection ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies for the ﬁrst time.

PLAY SMARTER

Granted a clean round of jumping, ABINGWORTH could be the answer The 7-y-o was a C&D scorer on his sole previous visit here last March and is now 3lb below that winning mark. Having shown promise in a trio of novice hurdles, Thunder N Lightnin is of strong interest switched to fences for his up-and-coming yard and he rates the main danger ahead of Good Friday Fairy

PLAY SMARTER

Preference is for QUICK SHARPENER, who left his low-key comeback run well behind when ﬁnding just one too good at Newcastle. It’s early days for this 8-y-o over fences and he’s probably capable of better than his current mark implies. Hatos has edged down the weights and is second choice, albeit only marginally as both Risk de Pluie and Famoso also merit respect.

DE TELLERS FORTUNE showed improved form when making a winning return/chase debut at Taunton in December, seeing off a next-time-out winner in the process. He’s one to be interested in for his powerful stable and is expected to make another bold bid from this 6lb higher mark. C&D Pedley Wood is compiling a very solid record over fences and he’s feared. Enjoy Your Life is another with a shout if bouncing back from a lesser run late last year

BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualiﬁed paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
