FIRST RACE 11.55 TWO MILES ABOUT HALF A FURLONG (2M 128YDS) FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE FREE TIPS ON attheraces.com HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (Go North Sea Pigeon Series Qualifier) Total race value £7200 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2420, 2nd £1210, 3rd £605, 4th £303, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £3158.68)

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): C Longsdon (10 wins from 88 runners, 11%) runs MANINSANE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D McCain (5 wins from 25 runners, 20%) runs MASTER MALACHY LONGEST TRAVELLER: KANUKANKAN trained by P Hobbs, Minehead, 240 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A host in with chances but MASTER BLAZE is in receipt of hefty weight-for-age allowance and, having had a breathing operation since scoring at Compiegne in September, David Pipe’s charge gets the vote to make a winning UK/handicap debut here. Byzantine Empire has landed 2 of his last 3 starts over hurdles so he’s feared most for a yard going great guns, ahead of Saint Arvans and Sea Prince.

THE SKY SPORTS RACING SKY 415 HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) (Go North Monet’s Garden Series Qualifier) Total race value £8000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2754, 2nd £1377, 3rd £688, 4th £345, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £3594.36)

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): C Longsdon (10 wins from 88 runners, 11%) runs THE MIGHTY ARC TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): L Russell (7 wins from 28 runners, 25%) runs AIN’T MY FAULT WEIGHTWATCHER: DR SANDERSON won off a handicap mark of 132, his rating is now down 15lb to 117.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: AIN’T MY FAULT trained by L Russell, Kinross, 250 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

THE MIGHTY ARC scored in nice style on his Worcester chase debut 4 weeks ago and is fancied to make light of an 8lb rise with further improvement very much on the cards.

Get Your Own made a solid start to his chase career at Lingfield recently and is feared most ahead of Dr Sanderson, who got back to winning ways at Ayr last month and remains well treated on his best efforts.

RACE SUMMARY

GOOBINATOR enjoyed a fine spell on the Flat this year and had still to be asked for his effort when falling 3 out at Bangor on his latest start in November. He’s worth another chance from this sort of mark again partnered by Brian Hughes. Cobblers Dream is far less exposed than most he meets here and is feared most on handicap debut. Courtandbould and Leoncavallo complete the shortlist.
