PLAY SMARTER

It’s probably best not to read too much into NORLEY’s rather low-key chase debut here during the autumn, and he is appealing back in this sphere off a lower mark than that off which he scored in good style over hurdles at Ludlow last week. Assuming that Great Heart’jac doesn’t go to post (due to run at Market Rasen on Sunday) and with Charles Ritz likely to need a stiffer test, Maninsane is second choice ahead of Cartonne

PLAY SMARTER

IMPOSE TOI looked a useful prospect when opening his account for Nicky Henderson at Exeter and this dual ex-French bumper winner can fend off Brentford Hope who also looks to have better days ahead of him judged on his stylish Wincanton success VE Day also has more to offer and appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Stewards Note: TOMMY CULLEN: Following its run on 10/1/2023 it was reported that the horse found the ground too soft.

ISSAR D’AIRY: Following its run on 8/3/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Swapped (FR), 5-1 Titanium Bullet (IRE), 11-2 Halligator (FR), Eyed (GB), 10-1 Issar d’Airy (FR), 11-1 Tommy Cullen (IRE), Rock On Cowboy (IRE), 20-1 Treefinch (GB), 33-1 Presenting Belle (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

SWAPPED has got in very lightly for his handicap debut on the back of an eye-catching Plumpton sixth so Nicky Henderson’s low-mileage 6-y-o looks the way to go The progressive Titanium Bullet came in a good C&D second last time and is feared most, with handicap-debutant Halligator hugely repected too.

Stewards Note:

TFRHHHII BHA76

2022: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR

CATLIN: Following its run on 18/3/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer a quicker surface.

Probable S.P’s: 13-8 Brandisova (IRE), 5-2 Legendary Rhythm (GB), 9-2 Catlin (GB), 10-1

Methodtothemagic (IRE), 12-1 Head And Heart (GB), 66-1 Sei Bella (GB)

PLAY SMARTER

BRANDISOVA and Legendary Rhythm both arrive here in top form and are probably the pair to concentrate on, for all that an on-song Catlin wouldn’t be without a chance. Legendary Rhythm is the more experienced of the two in this sphere and is not passed over lightly but Brandisova got the better of an in-form rival when making a winning chase debut at Fakenham and she is preferred.

ROCK HOUSE has been picked up by a top yard after winning a point easily and, if strong in the betting, he’s worth chancing to make a successful start under Rules. Fierce Warrior makes plenty of appeal on paper and Kamsinas looks a danger on the back of a comfortable success at Kelso

BETTING FORECAST: 6 Thedevilscoachman, 15-2 Panda Boy, 8 I Am Maximus, 10 Espanito Bello, Tenzing, Angels Dawn, Stumptown, 12 Chemical Energy, Amirite, 16 Others.

STUMPTOWN is a stout stayer who races off a lovely light weight in this valuable showpiece. He wasn’t stopping at the end of 3m2f in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival when held in second by a neck. Prior to that, he was a decisive winner of staying chases in Thurles and Sandown. Thedevilscoachman brings a touch of class to proceedings. He has landed three of his six chases including at Grade 3 level in his last couple of starts in Naas and Limerick. He is up in trip by about half a mile, but would be particularly dangerous if getting into a good rhythm with his jumping. Chemical Energy was caught over an extended 3m5f in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. There was still a lot of credit in his runner-up finish and he is a solid contender Angels Dawn would welcome plenty of rain. She was the horse that beat Stumptown by a neck at Cheltenham and there’s an awful lot to like about her recent exploits. She is well up for a battle at the business end. Defi Bleu and Champagne Platinum could go better than their odds suggest. Amirite is inexperienced, but has talent.

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.

Photography

Racegoers please note it is not permitted to take photographs on racecourses except within the areas normally open to the public. Amateur photographers must ensure that they do not intrude upon areas used by professional photographers. Flash photography is not permitted in any circumstances.
