TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTED RUNNER
Jackie Hobbs
“This has been her objective all season after her Ludlow victory. She’s fresh, very fit and looks fantastic. I’ve been very happy with her preparation. Hopefully this will be a very true run race which I think will suit her well and she can be right there at the end. I think she’s got a huge chance.”

News in Brief
Benvoy continues to shine and lands big pot for Jo Davis
Gavin Sheehan hailed the efforts of trainer Jo Davis after registering a second successive victory onboard Benvoy in the feature 1m7½f juvenile handicap hurdle. The four-year-old, who was purchased for £6,500, followed up his triumph at Huntingdon this month to land the £40,000 contest.
Leading 2,000 Guineas contender Ancient Truth out of the race following a setback
Ancient Truth, who had been as short as 8-1 for the Betfred 2,000 Guineas, has been ruled out of the Newmarket Classic by Godolphin following a setback. The son of Dubawi won his first three starts for Charlie Appleby, justifying favouritism in two novice contests before landing the Group 2 Superlative Stakes from Seagulls Eleven in July.
Jim Mullen appointed Jockey Club group chief executive
Jim Mullen has been appointed Jockey Club group chief executive following a protracted search for a replacement for Nevin Truesdale, Britain’s largest racecourse group announced on Monday. Mullen, formerly CEO of Ladbrokes Coral, joins the Jockey Club from Reach plc, the largest commercial news publisher in the UK and Ireland, where he has been chief executive since 2019.
RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS
Ride Like A Girl
Jamie SnowdenThis filly was in pre-training last season, and showed the benefit of her experience when 2nd on her bumper debut at Stratford in October. She was 3rd on her last start at Newbury, but the softer ground just blunted her speed. We've been waiting for this spring ground, and she can hopefully take advantage of that here.
Regarde
Jamie OsborneAfter winning an Irish Point-to-Point as a 5-year-old, he was placed in two of his four novice hurdle starts. However, he improved for being sent chasing, and he won two of his five starts last season, and was placed another twice. He is a bigger stronger horse this season, and he won well on his seasonal debut at Kempton. He was a good 3rd on his next start at Ascot, but disappointed on softer ground last time out. He has had a wind op since, and we've been waiting for this spring ground. He should stay this extra trip well, and shouldn't be too far away today.
Datsalrightcharlie
Jamie SnowdenBy Kingston Hill (St Leger winner) and out of a beautiful Aga Khan bred family. He is out of a Kings Theatre half-sister to the Grade 1 Christmas hurdle winner, Darlan, out of the Listed placed Darbela, and closely related to the Group 1 French Oaks/Vermeille winner Daryaba. He was a bit disappointing on his bumper debut, but was very green and immature. He jumps well, and this looked a nice point at which to make his hurdling debut. He is a big, raw horse, who can run well here, but will keep improving with time and experience.
Givemefive
Harry DerhamI’m running him here for some better ground. I’ve just been struggling with him slightly this season since Cheltenham, he’s finding handicaps quite tough. I’ve added a tongue tie today as Hollie Doyle felt on the flat last time out that that might help him. He seems in really good form at home but he just needs to go and produce that on the track, I hope he can.
