PLAY SMARTER

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is admittedly more style over substance at this stage, but he couldn’t have been much more impressive in winning both his hurdle starts to date and, with the longer trip highly unlikely to hold any fears, he’s very much fancied to make his class tell. Hermes Allen produced a scintillating performance in the Challow and has to be considered a big threat, along with last years’s Fred winter runner-up Gaelic Warrior, who has progressed plenty more this season.

NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE wasn’t beaten far in the Grand Annual on this day 4 years ago and still retains a fair bit of ability judged on his 2 runs this term. This could become tactical but he surely has enough in the tank to notch up a belated success if building on his Kempton effort.

GERRI COLOMBE enhanced his reputation when taking his record under Rules to 7-7 in the Scilly Isles at Sandown last month, jumping soundly and coming out on top in game fashion. Very much the type to be suited by the return to further, he can make a bold bid to keep his 100% record intact The Real Whacker, an impressive dual winner over fences here already this term, rates a big threat though. Sir Gerhard, twice a winner at the Festival, and Galia des Liteaux complete the shortlist RACE TIME DISTANCE WELFARE INTEGRITY EQUALITY SAFEGUARDING

PLAY SMARTER

THUNDERCLAP possesses the scope to do quite a bit better in this sphere given his Flat ability, and with this sharp test right up his street, he’s awarded the vote Moore Margaux returns from 2 years off, but with his yard going well, he warrants consideration, along with Milldam on the back of a breathing op

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 3, 9, 13, 17, 24, 25.

Stewards Note: ICARE ALLEN: Following its run on 11/2/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.

GOOD RISK AT ALL: Following its run on 19/11/2022 it was reported that the horse ran too free.

Probable S.P’s: 9-1 Run For Oscar (IRE), Camprond (FR), 11-1 Hms Seahorse (IRE), 12-1 Captain Conby (IRE), 14-1 Langer Dan (IRE), 18-1 Fil Dor (FR), 20-1 Beacon Edge (IRE), Watch House Cross (IRE), Benson (GB), 22-1 Good Risk At All (FR), 25-1 San Salvador (IRE), 28-1 Red Risk (FR), 33-1 Scaramanga (IRE), An Epic Song (FR), Sa Fureur (IRE), Riaan (IRE), 40-1 Icare Allen (FR), 50-1 Call Me Lord (FR), Grand Roi (FR), Bold Endeavour (GB), The Very Man (IRE), Tax For Max (GER), 66-1 Sporting John (IRE), Nells Son (GB), 80-1 Off Your Rocco (IRE), 150-1 Elvis Mail (FR)

Any number to consider but RUN FOR OSCAR is just about the most persuasive option having improved into a very useful stayer on the Flat during the second half of 2022. He was also better than the result on both hurdles outings since and, representing a yard with very few peers in handicaps, he looks the way to go with cheekpieces back on. Captain Conby has presumably been saved for this and he’s open to lots of progress, with Good Risk At All perhaps the pick of the British contenders.

FEEL GOOD INC was quite impressive when making a winning start over hurdles at Doncaster and is easily excused his subsequent run in better company at Haydock. He’s marginally preferred to Soldier of Destiny, who is useful over fences, while Benign Dictator is no forlorn hope having improved to gain his first hurdling success at Uttoxeter a month ago

Editeur du Gite was ridden to perfection that day and Gary Moore’s bold-jumping front runner may have to settle for bronze on this occasion, in what promises to be a tactically-intriguing affair

The suggestion is FORTUNE COOKIE who offered more when fourth last time and a lightly-raced profile suggests she may go on from that. Mistral Lady failed to fire on her handicap debut just before Christmas but retains with potential back from a break, while this represents a drop in class for Corey’s Courage

PLAY SMARTER

DELTA WORK was impressive in this last season and looks well prepared to make it back-to-back successes. His stablemate Galvin is the other class act in this field and looks a huge threat if he takes to the new discipline, while Franco de Port represents another top Irish yard and has enough ability to make his presence felt The others all have improvement to find.

PLAY SMARTER

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims, BIGNORM is taken to build on a back-to-form third in a more competitive race than this at Chepstow. Enduring Love can clout the odd fence but has been placed on all 3 outings since joining Olly Murphy and rates the chief threat ahead of Alright Chief

PLAY SMARTER

Plenty of exposed sorts in this year’s renewal so ANDY DUFRESNE, who was a strong favourite when runner-up off the same mark 12 months ago, is taken to defy top weight and go one place better having been laid out for this again. The Irish could well dominate, with Final Orders, Dinoblue and Coeur Sublime making up the shortlist

SASSIFIED has yet to fire over hurdles but his Flat form strongly suggests this mark should be within range, and with his stable going better now and cheekpieces now on, there’s cause for optimism. Telhimlisten chases a hat-trick at Sedgefield on Tuesday and his presence in this would change the complexion of the race

PLAY SMARTER

Willie Mullins fields 10 as he bids for a remarkable thirteenth win and the mare FUN FUN FUN could be the way to go. She was a sensational winner of a Grade 2 mares’ event at Leopardstown last month and can follow in the footsteps of Relegate who did the same double for the yard in 2018. A Dream To Share has passed every test so far for John Kiely and sets a very good standard. Encanto Bruno and Better Days Ahead are other interesting runners away from the Mullins’ battalion.

WESTERNINTHEPARK fetched six figures after finishing second in a point and his new stable should have him well prepared, so he is worth chancing to make a successful start under Rules. Resplendent Grey is an obvious danger having made a successful debut at Market Rasen 3 months ago and Stop Loss makes plenty of appeal on pedigree

The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.

Admission & Conditions Of Entry

• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the Racecourse Executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualified person.

• Bringing Food and Drink into the Main Enclosure other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited.

• Racegoers must at all times comply with any conditions, rules and regulations in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons.

• No dogs allowed anywhere on site except guide dogs. Dogs must not be left in vehicles and anyone found leaving a dog in a vehicle may face prosecution.

• In the event of racing being abandoned, refunds on tickets purchased will be paid as follows: - Abandonment before completion of the first race - full refund

- Abandonment between the conclusion of the first race and third race - racegoers will receive a 50% refund.- Abandonment thereafter - no refund.

• All refunds must be claimed within 28 days of the racemeeting. Please send badges with covering letter stating full name and address to: Ticket Refunds, Huntingdon Racecourse, Brampton, Huntingdon, Cambs, PE28 4NL.

Behaviour And Dress Code

The Racecourse reserves the right to refuse admission to all enclosures or to eject any person from the racecourse. When patrons are refused or ejected from the racecourse they will not be entitled to a refund. When leaving the Racecourse please be considerate of our neighbours.

The dress code is smart casual. The Racecourse reserves the right to refuse admission to patrons failing to comply with this request.

Emergency Evacuation

Huntingdon Racecourse has significantly enhanced Safety and Security measures this year to enhance your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via an emergency evacuation gate, either to the assembly Point behind the Clubhouse, overflow to the picnic car park or if both these areas are compromised then to use the Centre of the Course, where you will receive further instructions. It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember; take your belongings with you under the directions of the Stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

Health And Safety Notice

The Racecourse would be grateful if racegoers would observe all Health and Safety requirements whilst at Huntingdon Racecourse. The Emergency Exits from the Bars onto the Grandstand steppings are painted yellow and we would appreciate it if Racegoers would not stop in this area. We would also be grateful if only those that are Disabled use the Disabled Viewing Ramp and that parents keep a close eye on children and prevent them from climbing on the running rails and getting onto the actual racecourse. We would also like to remind racegoers that the FIRST AID room is located on the ground floor of the Cromwell Stand. Public access is prohibited to the Centre Course.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Huntingdon 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 vinvolving 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.
