Fakenham 12.20
With Angels Landing out this morning there are just the 3 runners heading to post for this with the top 2 in the market looking to have it between them bar a big step forward from Shiroccy Road. Lucy Wadham trained the winner of this last year and CODE NAME LISE looks to be a great chance for her to train back-to-back winners of the race. Both of her hurdle starts were in better races than this and she ran with credit. At this level that form should be good enough to win unless Cool Stone steps forward again.
Cool Stone is a danger to all after a good performance in a similar race at Wincanton last month. She may be better for that run which could see her go close with the selection. Shiroccy Road hasn’t shown enough to trouble the front two so is readily passed over.
Fakenham 12.50
I thought Diamond Rose looked too short at a shade of odds-on last night and the market reflects that now but I’m a bit concerned BROWN BULLET has gone for a walk. She will find this easier than what she has been contesting recently so I thought she’d be vying for favouritism but even still she is going to be the play at 5/1 at the time of writing. She is a former point winner and definitely has potential over fences.
Diamond Rose should still run well but she is prone to making a mistake and showed that again when fifth on return at Ludlow. The engine is there but she will need a clear round to see these off. Connie Wilde has been the one for money but her form is pretty shocking. I’m still cautious though given the weight of support so it wouldn’t surprise me to see her get competitive – been a few gambles like this recently.

This doesn’t look a deep race which gives CONCEROE a good opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles.. He has some solid form in national hunt flat races and ran really well on his hurdles debut earlier in the month. That was his first run since April so you can expect him to improve second time out. It looked a good race he ran in and if stepping forward he will take all the beating. He has been well backed this morning which is obviously a good thing too given his profile.
Commodore Miller is the main danger on his hurdles debut. He ran well at Sandown to get a run under his belt and has to be taken seriously here. Hazard Collonges has potential but will will need to improve here. He looks a work in progress who might just need more time to come good.
Fakenham 1.50
With Fairlawn Flyer now out this looks a great chance for NOTEBOOK to follow up for Christian Williams. This horse didn’t achieve much over hurdles but shaped with plenty of promise on first two starts over fences before opening his account at Wincanton last time. He was well backed on that occasion and didn’t let supporters down going away again at the finish. He showed a good attitude under pressure and I think he would have got the better of the argument with Mr Magill who took a fall at the last. He is up 6lb but definitely has more to come in this sphere and it’s no surprise to see him trading as favourite at the time of writing.
The danger is the thriving Uno Mas who has won 4 of his last 5 starts over hurdles but his record over fences is nowhere near as compelling so he’ll need to prove he can back up those efforts back chasing. Fact Of The Matter is also considered with his yard firing.
Fakenham 2.20
Not the best of races which likely gives LELANTOS the chance to win his second race in under a month. His last two runs look like solid form with a close second at Fontwell followed by a win at Southwell. He is only up 3lb for the win and whilst he doesn’t look to have a lot in-hand he is still likely on a good enough mark to be the one to beat here. I think Nico will get him prominent and he might always be doing best in the run to the line.
The Knot Is Tied didn’t look to be crying out for this sort of trip when only third at Aintree but that was still a creditable effort. Let supporters down again at Uttoxeter last time so has enough to prove coming into this even though he will find it easier the trip still has to be a concern. Tiny Tantrum remains unexposed so shouldn’t be entirely ruled out but he also has enough to prove on the balance of his recent form.
Fakenham 2.50
I found this a horrible race to try and work out but on value grounds THE UNIT has to be the play. The handicapper has relented another 4lb and that makes him a serious contender here. I know he didn’t find much off the bridle at Kempton but this is easier again and he might come there travelling and the rest will need a bit of luck. He is 18lb below his last winning mark and is 8/1 here so I think he is worth chancing to show improved form.
Defuture Is Bright is the favourite at the time of writing but he was beaten 14 and a half lengths when sent off favourite at Haydock and he is going to need the blinkers to help him take a step forward to win this. Looks too short to me. Not A Role Model is probably the most likely winner after a good second at Chepstow to an improver.
Fakenham 3.20
A wide open race to cap off the card at Fakenham on Sunday and I will take a chance on AL KHERB who won a seller at Stratford last month. This is a better race but he has been running well off this mark previously so could be primed for another win, especially with his trainer/jockey taking 7lb off his back.
Peckinpah is the 10/3 favourite at the time of writing and is the likely danger after a good comeback run after being off for a year. If he improves for that run it is hard not see him run well here. Vocal Duke has been nibbled at and also has to enter calculations.
