PLAY SMARTER
JACKPOT D’ATHOU has failed to live up to the promise of last season but is worth another chance from his falling handicap mark, the combination of a further drop in grade and reapplication of cheekpieces might be enough to get his head in front. Last-time-out winner Off To A Flyer would be a big danger if ready to roll after a 10-month absence back over a shorter trip, while Mairis Icon should be better suited by this stiffer test.

None of the quartet can be ruled out but it’s hard to side against MINNIEMUM who warmed to her task when an easy debut scorer over fences at Exeter last week and can defy a 7lb penalty here. So Said I appeals as the chief threat off a handy-looking mark ahead of in-form maiden Melusine de Pail.

The market should prove revealing but Paul Nicholls’ newcomer ROADSHOW showed some fairly useful form on the level in France for Andre Fabre so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Jamie Snowden’s fairly useful maiden Jackstell rates a big threat though, with Elforleather also in the mix if bouncing back to form.

LAKE’S AVENTURINE: Following its run on 20/3/2025 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.

ELLERTON shaped with promise at this track on his penultimate run and, on first start for Joe Tizzard, he may be able to recapture his form and land an ordinary looking contest. Jaxonne ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature and would be a big danger if back on song after a short break. Seahouses looks fairly solid and can hit the frame for the third start in a row.

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 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.
