Fontwell — 28 August 2026

Class 4 · 2m5f164y · 5 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Kom Tu Voudras (15/8)

Won by: Kom Tu Voudras (FR) at 7/2 · then Break Point (GB)

What we said: Kom Tu Voudras heads market on solid recent placings but the last run was a fall, and with the trainer just 1-10 in the past fortnight that's enough doubt to pass at a short-enough price; Easter Icon won last time out but has a brought-down in the form line too, and Baltray/Break Point/Motazzen all carry their own question marks, leaving no runner I'd back with confidence in this messy five-runner hurdle.

Class 4 · 2m1f162y · 8 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Salkadan (8/13)

Won by: Salkadan (GB) at 4/6F · then Rum Diamond (GB), Houndswood Willow (IRE)

What we said: The only runner in the field with a genuine form figure (3rd in a 16f maiden hurdle last time), he was doing his finishing effort into that run and the drop back to 2m1f suits a horse with the best recorded early speed among the pace-forward types. Dan Skelton's yard has him fresh off a solid effort and this is a demonstrably weaker field around him, with most rivals showing no completed form or a pulled-up effort.

Class 5 · 2m3f29y · 7 ran

Our bet: Delgany Second Now (5/4)

Won by: Delgany Second Now (GB) at 9/4 · then Onehundredneighty (IRE)

What we said: Won last time out by a clear margin over a longer trip just three days ago, and today's step back in distance to 2m3f plays to a horse still finding his form on the up; his 4-for-4 jumping record and quick turnaround suggest he's fit and firing right now. Dan Skelton's yard and Harry Skelton in the saddle add proven course/trainer-jockey competence at a track they know well.

Class 5 · 2m5f135y · 7 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Youdecide (4/6)

Won by: Youdecide (IRE) at 8/13F · then Helios Allen (FR)

What we said: Won last time out over today's exact trip and carries the highest rating in the race off a form line reading 444P-1, showing the improvement to back up that win just three days on. Its jumping has been solid this campaign (9 of 11 completed) and the step up to top weight is the natural consequence of that recent victory rather than a knock against it.

Class 5 · 3m1f166y · 7 ran

Our bet: Camshaft (11/4)

Won by: Luna Run (IRE) at 2/1 · then Athena's Dream (GB)

What we said: Strong recent form figures (a win followed by a solid third) and a proven jumping record (6 of 6 completed) support this mare stepping up modestly in trip, and she carries her rating (OR96, the field's highest) fairly at the top of the weights rather than out of her depth. The step up to today's marathon trip is a relatively small increase from her last outing, unlike some market rivals facing much bigger jumps in distance, and she has course and jockey form to back up the case.

Class 4 · 2m1f165y · 6 ran

Our bet: She Is For Me Boys (7/2)

Won by: Merely A Detail (GB) at 3/1 · then She Is For Me Boys (GB)

What we said: Unbeaten in all 11 career jumps starts and has won both starts at this course, with a form figure (33-213) that reads as a mare still improving into a career-high rating of 113, the best in this field. The step down in trip and return to a track she's mastered outweighs the mild caution of a 60-day break, and at 7/2 the price undervalues a genuine course specialist with a claiming rider taking off further weight.

Class 5 · 2m1f162y · 9 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Raffles Nobu (3/1)

Won by: Graffiti (GB) at 10/1 · then God Of Fire (IRE), Raffles Nobu (FR)

What we said: Three runners carry genuine claims here and none stands clear: Raffles Nobu is fittest with a run just 5 days ago and a solid 342135 sequence, God Of Fire owns the best figure in the race off a good recent 2-4-1-4 sequence and is the only confirmed front-runner, while Aggagio adds first-time blinkers to a fair recent CD record — too many live threats at competitive prices to lean on one. The overnight market itself is split, drifting God Of Fire out while shortening Aggagio in, which only reinforces that no consensus view has emerged.
