Fontwell hosts an action‑packed Thursday card, with six races streamed live on Sky Sports Racing. The day opens at 5:34 pm with the Mercedes‑Benz Of Chichester Mares’ Maiden Hurdle, featuring Secret Des Lune and Sargean. Harry Fry rides Sargean, who burst onto the scene with a rules debut win at Wincanton in April, while Secret Des Lune, trained by Ben Clarke, shows promise after a third‑attempt start.

At 6:10 pm the KSR Lighting Handicap Hurdle showcases last‑time winners Oakley and Taritino. Oakley, now doubled his obstacle tally, carries a 7‑lb penalty, while Taritino, fresh from a career‑best performance at Taunton, is a formidable contender. The Fontwell Park Half‑Year Membership Novices’ Handicap Chase at 6:40 pm pits Ballyfinn against Misteroddsocks, both in fine form after recent victories.

The card also offers international intrigue: the French‑based Velikaya heads the Prix Esoterique at 3:38 pm, while Alter Meister and Bright Light feature in the Prix de l’Avre at 5:58 pm. With diverse distances and conditions, the Saturday promises a mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talent to keep punters and fans engaged.

The event underscores Fontwell’s reputation as a premier venue for summer jumps racing, drawing top trainers, jockeys, and horses from across the UK and Europe.
