The racing begins at 1:30pm, with fans able to enjoy the afternoon’s racing up until the final contest at 4:05pm.

The action gets under way with Bet 10 Get 10 At Yeeehaaa.bet Maiden Hurdle, which is a GBB Race to be run over a 2m 3f course. Local trainer Gary Moore will have the likely frontrunner, with All Authorized having placed well this spring, including over a 2m ½f trip at this course on March 18.

Up next, at 2pm, is the Follow Us On X At yeeehaaabet Handicap Chase (Class 4), which sees the field take to a 2m 5½f course. Leading the field are likely to be Joe Cotton and Dreaming Blue, with both having won on their last outing at the end of March, although the latter’s form winning at this course sets him apart.

At 2:30pm, the Class 5 Yeeehaaa.Bet Handicap Hurdle sees a wide open field take to a 2m 1½f course. Macari is the likely favourite, with a win over a similar trip at Plumpton on April 1 a reward for improved form so far this spring.

At 3pm, is the Download The Yeeehaaa.Bet App Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) which will be run over a 2m 3f trip. In this handicap, there is a broad scope for betting but Kansas Du Berlais could attract some smart money having continued to improve with a second placed finish at Huntingdon last month on similarly good to soft ground.

The penultimate race of the day at 3:30pm is the Yeeehaaa.Bet Handicap Chase (Class 5), with Mister Murchan one to watch at a slightly lower mark than when finishing second here on heavy ground last month.
