13:55 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (10/3 -67%) Luckie Seven	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(2) Luckie Seven 10/3, Promising start when runner-up in a bumper at Doncaster in January 2023 and went one better in cosy fashion there last month. Progressed again when second in April if that year and defied 15-month absence when scoring on hurdles debut over 20.2f here in July. Lots more to come. Returned from long absence to make winning hurdle debut here (2m4f) in July; respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 +0%) Byron Hill	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Byron Hill 9/2, Fairly useful stayer on the level and has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles, finding just one too good on debut for this yard at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) in May. Matched that form when runner-up again over C&D but lacks the scope to improve of a few here. Tongue tie on. Good second in C&D handicap last month but others in this line-up have more potential.
3	12 3rd (12) (12/1 -71%) Spit Spot	12 12/1(-71%)	(12) Spit Spot 12/1, Fair performer on the Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles for current yard, runner-up 3 times on the bounce earlier this year. Her jumping rather let her down during the spring, though. Has claims here if judged on best of last season's form; pulled up on latest outing in May.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -186%) Sunninghill	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Sunninghill 40/1, Fair form when making the frame in minor events on Flat in 2022, stays 1¼m. Has left S. P. C. Woods and been gelded ahead of hurdles debut. Showed fair form on AW in autumn 2022 but makes stable/hurdle debut after long layoff.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 -213%) Dapper Gent	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Dapper Gent 50/1, Runner-up in selling/maiden company in May. Similar form in low-grade handicaps since but his merit looks established and he's right up against it in novice company. In the frame all four hurdling starts this season but faces tough task on these terms.
6th	10 6th (10) (250/1 -150%) Inoue	250 250/1(-150%)	(10) Inoue 250/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers for Stuart Crawford and has failed to complete over hurdles. Struggled to get competitive in his first two hurdle races and makes no appeal here.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -100%) The Dipper	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) The Dipper 66/1, €21,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam, pulled up in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-21f winner) Lady Zephyr. Not given an overly-hard time in a bumper at Ayr during the spring. Unable to land a significant blow when 25-1 for soft-ground Ayr bumper on debut in April.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (8/11 +52%) Gers Gigi	0.727273 8/11(+52%)	(6) Gers Gigi 8/11, Winner of a bumper at Downpatrick in June and following a runner-up effort on hurdles debut, he landed the odds without too much fuss at Sligo 19 days ago. That is the best form on offer. Kept on strongly to win Sligo maiden last month; leading contender.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (28/1 -40%) Auld Toon Loon	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Auld Toon Loon 28/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for David O'Meara (stays 10.5f), below form final start in 2023. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 9 months off at Hexham in June and then too free over C&D 3 weeks ago. Hood may help him settle. Useful on the Flat last year but has made quiet start to hurdling career.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -200%) Spanish Saint	150 150/1(-200%)	(11) Spanish Saint 150/1, Mid-field at best in maidens/handicap on Flat for Noel Meade and no better for current yard. Lowly rated Flat maiden; had excuse when pulled up on hurdle debut; still overlooked.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (250/1 -150%) Thunder Gap	250 250/1(-150%)	(9) Thunder Gap 250/1, Modest on Flat for Tom Tate and low-key start over hurdles. A well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling attempts.

Luckie Seven backed up the promise he showed in bumpers when scoring on his hurdling debut over 2m4f at this venue last time, but this drop in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, the vote goes to GERS GIGI, who justified favouritism in a decisive manner at Sligo on her latest outing and may prove very hard to stop under Sean Bowen. Byron Hill was second in a C&D maiden last month and also merits consideration.

There's depth to this novice and in the hope the drop in trip doesn't inconvenience LUCKIE SEVEN, he's selected to defy a penalty having made a winning return from a break here in July. Gers Gigi brings the best hurdles form to the table so she's a huge threat.

Luckie Seven may find it tough to concede 7lb to GERS GIGI, who comes here after a clearcut success at Sligo.

14:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (6/4 +45%) Investment Manager	1.5 6/4(+45%)	(1) Investment Manager 6/4, Enjoyed a productive spell over fences here last summer and added to his strong record there when making all on his reappearance in May. Not in the same form at Uttoxeter a month later and this his first hurdles start since 2022. Four-time course winner over fences (once on soft); big player off his lower hurdle mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (85/40 +100%) Paddy De Pole	2.125 85/40(+100%)	(2) Paddy De Pole 85/40, Lightly-raced sort who rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick in handicap hurdles at Hereford (19.7f) in May. Made the frame on each of his last 3 starts at up to 25.8f and he's been found a race lacking depth. Won three in a row in the spring and is still in good form; slow ground is a worry today.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/8 +17%) Mr Yeats	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(3) Mr Yeats 15/8, C&D winner but losing run dates back to 2022. Hard to knock his consistency, though, posting another sound effort over C&D in July and this could be a good opening for him. Dual C&D winner; in good form for new stable this season and seems versatile ground-wise.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Joe Tizzard sends INVESTMENT MANAGER back over hurdles for the first time since January 2022, and he may have been found a suitable opportunity. Seventh over fences at Uttoxeter last time out, he drops in class here and may make every post a winning one in a small field he could dominate. Paddy De Pole is an obvious danger in recept of 4lb but he has been found out off this sort of mark and may need some respite from the handicapper. Mr Yeats looks booked for third.

MR YEATS doesn't win very often but is a pretty consistent operator and as a C&D regular, this could be a good chance for him to snap his losing sequence. Paddy de Pole has to prove his stamina for this far but it's unlikely to be a thorough test and he's an obvious danger.

He's much better known as a chaser but INVESTMENT MANAGER looks the one best equipped to cope with the slow ground.

14:05 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +50%) James Park Woods	2 2/1(+50%)	(6) James Park Woods 2/1, One win from 38 Flat runs. Twenty eight runs since last win in 2019. Creditable second of 7 in minor event at Ffos Las (10f, heavy, 5/2) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Back down in trip and he's a player on that form. Consistent this term; the drawback is his long losing spell (five years since sole win).
2	3 2nd (3) (25/1 -213%) Strive	25 25/1(-213%)	(3) Strive 25/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 18 days ago. Needs to cast that effort well aside, Still has something to prove in handicaps but may fare better off this reduced mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 +44%) Fact Or Fable	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(4) Fact Or Fable 10/3, Course winner. Latest win at Bath in August. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good, 22/1) 14 days ago and he's back on his correct mark. Won at Bath on penultimate outing; only 2lb higher and the return to Class 6 is a plus.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 -260%) Spanish Mane	18 18/1(-260%)	(1) Spanish Mane 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 26 days ago. This is a slight drop in class. Won at Lingfield on penultimate start; perhaps unsuited by Salisbury latest; has won here.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/4 -64%) Hellavapace	2.25 9/4(-64%)	(2) Hellavapace 9/4, Won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 10/3) 7 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty but that may not the stop the follow up. Recorded a 2l win over C&D last week; consistent this year; respected under 5lb penalty.
6th	5 6th (5) (13/2 +19%) Roundabout Silver	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(5) Roundabout Silver 13/2, C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good) 53 days ago, carrying head a bit awkwardly. Major chance granted a revival, having defied higher marks in 2022 (over C&D) and 2023.

James Park Woods hit the crossbar in a classified event over 1m2f at Ffos Las month and he ought to go close back in the handicap ranks, but may come out second best to HELLAVAPACE. Jonathan Portman's charge struck in convincing fashion over track and trip last week and she could prove tough to beat again. Spanish Mane is also a player based on the form of her victory at Lingfield two starts ago.

HELLAVAPACE gained reward for a string of consistent efforts when landing a C&D handicap a week ago and a 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a quick follow up. Spanish Mane dips in class so is feared most.

Having beaten a similarly consistent rival here last week, HELLAVAPACE looks solid. Roundabout Silver is second choice.

14:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +0%) Dripsey Moon	2 2/1(+0%)	(2) Dripsey Moon 2/1, Cemented a solid start over fences when winning 6-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago by ¾ length from Parisencore. Expected to be bang there nudged up 2 lb. Made it 2-2 at Perth when making all to beat a few of these here 23 days ago; up just 2lb.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -150%) Valsorpresa	10 10/1(-150%)	(5) Valsorpresa 10/1, Winner at Downpatrick in April. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut stepping back up in trip. Maiden hurdler winner; makes chase debut and he's a brother to Presenting Percy.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +29%) Parisencore	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(3) Parisencore 5/2, C&D winner in June. 2/1, good ¾-length second of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 23 days ago so he must enter calculations. Kept Dripsey Moon honest here last time and they're again very closely matched.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -33%) Garde Des Champs	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Garde Des Champs 12/1, On a losing run but he recorded a good 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt despite being 4 lb "wrong" in the weights. Behind two of these here last time and again he finds himself 4lb out of the weights.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 -13%) Jerrash	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Jerrash 9/2, Successful at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer and posted a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back down in trip but ought to be in the shake-up. Edging up the weights after a good summer but should be in the thick of it.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (15/2 +17%) Mahons Glory	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(1) Mahons Glory 15/2, Got back on track sent chasing when runner-up in novice handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in June. Raced too freely when fourth of 6 to Dripsey Moon in handicap chase over C&D (good) 23 days ago. Sort to bounce back with tongue strap added. Feasible excuses when beaten about 13l in Dripsey Moon's race here last month.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Jerrash finished well clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Cartmel last month and he should remain competitive off 3lb higher. However, preference is for DRIPSEY MOON, who beat the majority of this field over track and trip last month and he boasts leading claims of confirming that form in order to record a double. Parisencore was second to the selection in that contest and is one to take seriously.

DRIPSEY MOON rates just the pick of these weights so is taken to follow up his recent C&D victory at the chief expense again of Parisencore who enjoys a 1 lb pull in the weights. Cartmel runner-up Jerrash is another to consider along with chasing debutant Valsorpresa.

All six can have a say. A chance is taken on chasing debutant VALSORPRESA who is a brother to Presenting Percy.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1/2 +13%) Beat Box	0.5 1/2(+13%)	(3) Beat Box 1/2, Ended his time for James Ewart out of sorts but went 2-2 for his new handler with a career best in 6-runner handicap chase over C&D 9 days ago. Holds leading claims. 2-2 for new stable last month, the latter win gained over C&D; versatile ground-wise.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +0%) Magistrato	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Magistrato 5/2, Largely consistent following a switch from Paul Nicolls last spring and made all over C&D in July. Solid third of 9 in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 21 days ago so must enter calculations eased 1 lb. Placed at Worcester since C&D win in July but today's slower ground is the glaring issue.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 -55%) Top Speed	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(1) Top Speed 17/2, A fairly useful winning 2m hurdler at his best for Henry De Bromhead. Well below par reverted to fences on both starts for his new yard this summer though. Needs to take a big step forward. Ran better than bare form suggests when 20l third last time; drops back in trip here.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

A poor turnout of just the three runners, but that won't bother the Skeltons who send BEAT BOX looking for his hat-trick after wins at Market Rasen and then over this C&D recently. He has won on soft ground before so going, track and trip are all boxes ticked, making him the one to beat. Magistrato is certainly capable if he takes to the softer ground, and he may get the better of Top Speed in the race for second.

Hat-trick seeking BEAT BOX is much improved since joining Dan Skelton and hard to oppose on the back of his recent C&D success. Fellow C&D scorer Magistrato can chase him home ahead of Top Speed.

Revitalised since joining Dan Skelton this summer, BEAT BOX has an excellent chance to complete a quick hat-trick.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +76%) Mirabeau	6 6/1(+76%)	(4) Mirabeau 6/1, Fifteenth of 20 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good, 80/1) on debut. Off 115 days. Absent since modest effort over 6f at Newbury in May.
2	11 2nd (11) (22/1 +12%) Twilight Moon	22 22/1(+12%)	(11) Twilight Moon 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Looks the type to find better opportunities in handicaps shortly.
3	7 3rd (7) (3/1 0%) Jiff's Army	3 3/1(0%)	(7) Jiff's Army 3/1, Twice-raced gelding. Stepped up on debut run when second of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Epsom (7f, good) 14 days ago. Should be in the mix. Should handle this venue, having performed well at Epsom last time; warrants respect.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +40%) Lady Kilonova	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Lady Kilonova 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 18/1) 20 days ago. Has something to find on her 1m AW efforts at Kempton.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 +73%) Babylon	2.75 11/4(+73%)	(1) Babylon 11/4, Promising start when sixth of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good, 25/1) on debut 15 days ago given he was poorly drawn how it unfolded. Sure to derive plenty from that. Showed promise at Yarmouth and looked better than the bare result; open to improvement.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 -100%) Kildonan	5 5/1(-100%)	(8) Kildonan 5/1, Promising type. 9/1 and tongue strap on, third of 8 in minor event at Deauville (6f, soft) 20 days ago. The one to beat. Solid fourth at Newcastle then close third at Deauville; strong contender on the figures.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -220%) Watkins	16 16/1(-220%)	(6) Watkins 16/1, Failed badly to meet market expectations when last of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good, 5/2) on debut 15 days ago. Hood fitted. Very disappointing favourite at Yarmouth, well behind Babylon; hood now applied.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -142%) Demesne Boy	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Demesne Boy 80/1, Foaled April 4. Sands of Mali gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Ghost Protocol. Newcomer by Sands of Mali; yard is just 4-48 with 2yos this term.
9th	5 9th (5) (9/1 -64%) Tuscan Star	9 9/1(-64%)	(5) Tuscan Star 9/1, Foaled April 12. €32,000 yearling, Yafta colt. Half-brother to Australian 7.5f-9f winner Taraashoq and French/German winner up to 1m True Value. Dam unraced. 32,000euros yearling; by Yafta; major stable; heed the market signals.

JIFF'S ARMY took a big step forward from his debut effort to finish second at Epsom last month and he may have more to offer. Stuart Williams' juvenile looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the third time of asking. 32,000-euro purchase Tuscan Star is related to plenty of winners and would be interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Of the remainder, Kildonan makes the most appeal after his third at Deauville.

Having contested a deep race at Newcastle on debut, KILDONAN advanced his form when third at Deauville 3 weeks ago and with further progress on the cards, he's the one to beat. Jiff's Army and Oasis Sunrise are the chief threats on form, while market support for newcomer Tuscan Star would have to be noted.

Slight preference is for JIFF'S ARMY whose Epsom effort suggests he'll take well to this similar course. Kildonan is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +44%) Here Comes Georgie	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(3) Here Comes Georgie 9/4, Fair hurdler who got off the mark in 10-runner novice at Carlisle (17f, soft) in December. Well held next 2 starts, latterly on chase debut in May but well prepared returned to timber and a break when landing 12-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Resumed winning ways in C&D handicap 23 days ago; up 3lb but not taken lightly.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +18%) Cuban Cigar	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Cuban Cigar 9/1, Successful at Musselburgh in November and, after a below-par effort next time, has made the frame on his next 5 starts. Flat efforts this summer hardly brimming with promise but he made late headway in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces blinkers. Consistent sort; not disgraced when seventh over C&D 23 days ago; possibilities.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -100%) Ravenscraig Castle	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Ravenscraig Castle 11/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat who shaped much better than first time up over hurdles with cheekpieces added when second in a 2m Kelso novice in May. Hasn't made any great impact back on the level since but much more like it when second back over hurdles latest. Now goes handicapping. Fair 1m5f Flat winner; solid Catterick second latest; may do better still now handicapping.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +29%) Matchless	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Matchless 10/1, Improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (2m) in November but rather in-and-out to end the season. Spin on the AW a fortnight ago will have blow away the cobwebs. Looked rusty after five months off when last at Newcastle 18 days ago; no forlorn hope.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +25%) Malangen	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Malangen 6/1, Four-time course winner who opened his account for the season at Hexham (16.2f) in June and has continued in good heart since, recording another placed effort over 20.2f 3 weeks ago. Can give it another good go. Took this prize 12 months ago; good third here 23 days ago so must enter calculations.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 -38%) Just Dottie	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) Just Dottie 11/1, Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for this yard, better for her reappearance when landing mares' handicap over C&D for second successive year in May. Good third at Uttoxeter next time but latest effort here was disappointing. C&D winner in May but rare below-par sixth over C&D in July; she's the sort to bounce back.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/4 -80%) Leading Lion	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(4) Leading Lion 9/4, Proved a different proposition in a tongue strap for the first time in this code when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 12 days ago, impressively. Open to further improvement and follow up looks on the cards. Vastly improved on h'cap debut when a ready winner at Bellewstown; holds leading claims.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -60%) Well Planted	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Well Planted 40/1, C&D winner who didn't really take to chasing at the first attempt here in May but more like it when third over hurdles in July. Couple of heavy defeats since need casting aside. C&D scorer; cheekpieces on when last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

LEADING LION comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over four lengths at Bellewstown on his latest outing and the four-year-old may have more to offer in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's charge looks to have lots in his favour and could prove very tough to stop. Four-time course winner Malangen made the frame at this level over 2m4f here last month and has to be considered off the same mark, while Here Comes Georgie is another to note after his C&D victory last time.

LEADING LION cashed in on a lenient hurdles mark based on his Flat ability when a ready winner at Bellewstown 12 days ago and representing a top yard, his revised mark should be within range. Malangen and Just Dottie are course regulars who can make their presence felt.

Gordon Elliott's LEADING LION looked well ahead of his mark when an easy Bellewstown winner and can defy a 13lb hike in the weights.

1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -14%) Firefly Lane	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Firefly Lane 16/1, Winning pointer who was runner-up in back-to-back mares' handicap chases off similar marks during the spring. Not at her best back from a 3-month break last time, though, and she's 0-14 under Rules. Second twice on soft ground in the spring; didn't fire over C&D in July, after a break.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +60%) Coconut Twist	2 2/1(+60%)	(2) Coconut Twist 2/1, Point winner at the start of the year and made a successful chase/yard debut when returning from a break over this C&D in May. Didn't do much wrong when third off this mark at Worcester last time and he has to enter calculations. Scored over C&D (soft) on chasing debut in May and returns here after good run in July.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +0%) Dancingontheedge	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(1) Dancingontheedge 11/4, Belatedly opened hurdles account on second run following a wind op here (21.5f, good to soft) in July. Has made the frame both subsequent starts in that sphere and she'll be a threat if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences. Twice in the frame since wide-margin hurdle win here in July; makes chasing debut today.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -108%) Layerthorpe	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Layerthorpe 25/1, Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles back in 2019 and ran to a similar level when second in handicap chase at Taunton in December 2022. Seen out just 3 times since and while he was by no means disgraced when third over this C&D last time, others make more appeal. Veteran; proved he retains ability when a respectable third over C&D in July.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (9/4 +44%) Bensini	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(3) Bensini 9/4, Hurdles winner at Worcester last summer and though yet to strike in this sphere, he has been placed 4 times from 7 starts over fences. Third to a well-handicapped rival from the Skelton yard here (16.3f, good to firm) recently and he's a player back up in trip off 1 lb lower. 0-7 over fences but has posted some good efforts this summer and conditions will suit here.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (17/2 -278%) Hey Day Baby	8.5 17/2(-278%)	(5) Hey Day Baby 17/2, Little impact over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut at Uttoxeter in June. However, this former point winner looked a different proposition when cuising home at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) last month and she has to be considered, for all that this 12 lb higher mark demands more. Burst into life with 12l win at Market Rasen last month; may progress again.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (80/1 -60%) Sunshine Girl	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Sunshine Girl 80/1, Showed improved form when scoring over hurdles at Southwell last summer on final start for Stuart Crawford. Now 10 lb below that winning mark but with good reason (more miss than hit since, including on chase debut last time) and hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival here. Well beaten on both stable starts, the latter her stable debut; cheekpieces tried here.

Jockey Freddie Gingell claims 3lb riding for Paul Nicholls, which may be enough to see top-weight DANCINGONTHEEDGE get back to winning ways on her debut over fences. Her sole victory over hurdles came here in July and, if she takes to the larger obstacles, she might prove tough to beat. Coconut Twist won over this C&D on his chasing debut in May and is not one to overlook, likewise Market Rasen winner Hey Day Baby.

It may be worth siding with BENSINI, who was essentially beaten by a couple of better-handicapped rivals here nine days ago and this step back up in trip will be no bad thing. If Dancingontheedge takes to fences at the first attempt she will have a fighting chance off this mark. Coconut Twist and Hey Day Baby also merit respect.

Prominent racer BENSINI has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and might be the answer.

APPLE'S OF BRESIL has shown plenty of promise both in bumpers and maiden hurdles and may have found a good opportunity to open his jumping account. The Barry Connell-trained gelding won a Sligo bumper in July and was a creditable fourth behind Jackfinbar over C&D at the Festival meeting. Portcammon won a Roscommon bumper in good style on debut and was absent for a year until reappearing again in a bumper here last month, while The Mediator also won a bumper on debut way back in 2021 and has plenty of experience over hurdles. Point-to-point winner Olympy De Cerisy has been expensive to follow in bumpers.

PORTCAMMON is sure to be well schooled ahead of this hurdles debut given the yard he represents so he could be the way to go. Fellow-bumper winner Apple's of Bresil is an obvious danger, along with The Mediator.

Preference is for APPLE'S OF BRESIL. This looks easier than the maiden hurdle he contested here in August and drying ground will suit.

VOODOO RAY finished a close-up third in a similar grade last week and the son of Ribchester remains on the same rating. Gary and Josh Moore's five-year-old may only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to get back to winning ways. Secret Handsheikh finished two places in front of Thismydream (seventh) at Sandown last time and he can confirm that form, while first-time cheekpieces could eke out more from Libra Tiger and he is another to consider.

This is easier than the Sandown race LIBRA TIGER contested 10 days ago and now 2 lb below his last winning mark, he looks ready to cash in. Course regular Secret Handsheikh and Voodoo Ray look the chief threats.

Secret Handsheikh and Voodoo Ray are respected. LIBRA TIGER looks an interesting alternative, especially if the ground is soft.

Having proved a different proposition in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester in July, Olivers Travels supplemented that victory when following up over the same C&D in August. However, a further 8lb rise in the ratings demands another career-best performance from the six-year-old and THE GYPSY DAVEY edges the vote. Evan Williams' gelding arrives on the back of a close-up second at Market Rasen and a 1lb rise looks workable. Irish raider Sea Aster is also noted.

OLIVERS TRAVELS' form is on an upward curve so he looks the way to go in his hat-trick bid. The consistent The Gypsy Davey and Irish raider Sea Aster also firmly in the picture.

Universal Folly is opposable at the minute but the other four are in the mix. OLIVERS TRAVELS looks progressive and can win again.

Torrent and FINAL ENTRY both have penalties after making winning starts over hurdles and, while the former wasn't disgraced when second under similar circumstances at Cartmel last month, the latter shades preference given his scope to develop in this discipline. Having cost 180,000 euros as yearling, the selection was snapped up by these connections for just 28,000gns prior to his winning hurdling debut here in July, and there should be more to come. Masonbrook Meadow rates the pick of the rest.

FINAL ENTRY gets the nod to make it 2-2 in C&D juveniles. Fellow hurdle winner Torrent is second choice ahead of Masonbrook Meadow. Window of Time is a hurdle debutante to keep an eye on in the betting.

After launching his hurdling career with a win in July, TORRENT handled slow ground very well when second at Cartmel a fortnight ago.

15th	15 15th (15) (12/1 +52%) Only One Plan	12 12/1(+52%)	(15) Only One Plan 12/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 11/1) 35 days ago. Others are more appealing. 1-21 over timber; jumped poorly last time at Cork but could bounce back, place claims.
16th	19 16th (19) (14/1 -65%) Mephisto	14 14/1(-65%)	(19) Mephisto 14/1, Visor on for 1st time in this code, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Sligo (17.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Dual-purpose; maiden over hurdles but only beaten a neck last time, chance with a repeat.
17th	20 17th (20) (18/1 -200%) Gustavo Goodway	18 18/1(-200%)	(20) Gustavo Goodway 18/1, 20/1, good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration. Best handicap effort last time at Bellewstown, down in trip, place claims off 2lb higher.
18th	3 18th (3) (9/1 +25%) Liberated Light	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Liberated Light 9/1, Good third of 15 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly. Best hurdle run to date at Cork last time, up 1lb and dropped in trip, don't discount.
19th	12 19th (12) (11/2 +8%) Granpa Ger	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(12) Granpa Ger 11/2, 5/1, good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 25 days ago. Excellent claims for all that it's a competitive affair. Runner up last twice, didn't get a clear run last time, chance again once rain stays away.
20th	1 20th (1) (66/1 -32%) Department Of War	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Department Of War 66/1, First run since leaving John J. Maguire when 100/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft), folding quickly. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving John G. Carr. Stopped quickly last run over hurdles, can only be watched on first run for new yard.

LIBERATED LIGHT won a 1m6f Killarney maiden on the Flat last year and has been mainly campaigned over hurdles since. The well-bred Muhaarar gelding appears on a competitive mark judged on his third to Gabriel Ranger in a 2m2f handicap at Cork last time and gets the vote over Granpa Ger. The latter has filled the runner-up spot on his latest two starts, including behind Rauzan at Tramore last month, while The Vegas Raider is another to consider having won at Ballinrobe on his penultimate outing. Burru has been consistent in 2m4f handicaps but may find this distance a bit sharp, while In For The Night, Tomas O Maille and Makfils are others to consider.

GRANPA GER is on the up and would have gone closer to winning with a clear run when second at Tramore last time, so he's the most appealing in an open-looking contest. Mephisto should be on the premises and there's a case to be made for Burru, who shaped well at Killarney recently.

Marginal preference is for GEKKOTA. He was third in this last year off 5lb higher and he shaped nicely at Wexford last month.

1	8 1st (8) (9/4 +50%) Cassandraalexandra	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(8) Cassandraalexandra 9/4, 11/4, creditable 1½ lengths second of 8 to Spring in nursery at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Should be on the premises once again. Threatening to win a race of this nature and is better off with Spring on C&D running.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +14%) Prada On Parole	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Prada On Parole 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f, 8/1) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others make more appeal. Improvement looks possible returned to what may prove her optimum trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 -40%) Tiana Rose	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Tiana Rose 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to improve now venturing down the nursery route. May do better now handicapping but doesn't look obviously well treated.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +9%) Spring	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(1) Spring 5/2, Promising sort. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at this C&D (good, 10/3) 8 days ago by 1½ lengths from Cassandraalexandra. Remains open to improvement and she's a key player under a penalty. Won over C&D eight days ago on h'cap debut, beating Cassandraalexandra with a bit in hand.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -25%) She's A Dark Horse	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) She's A Dark Horse 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden (250/1) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and she's another who needs to step up now switched to a nursery. Handicap debutante; needs major progress to beat the main form contenders.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 -220%) Kate Be Quick	80 80/1(-220%)	(7) Kate Be Quick 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago and looks set for another struggle on this nursery debut. Doesn't look an obvious type on nursery debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/2 -67%) Inshad	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(4) Inshad 5/2, Promising sort. 10/11, excellent second of 8 in nursery at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and likely to make a bold bid to go one better this time. Clear second at Chepstow last week on handicap debut; leading player off same mark.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 +25%) Lucky Lottery	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Lucky Lottery 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in seller (14/1) at York (6f, good to soft) 87 days ago. Big step forward needed now pitched into a nursery. Best effort is weak form; off since June; appears unfavourably handicapped.

SPRING returned a cosy winner over course and distance on her nursery bow and the Kodi Bear filly carries a 6lb penalty for that success, but should have no trouble confirming her superiority over Cassandraalexandra (second) and Lift Lady (third). Inshad may prove a bigger threat with blinkers applied on the back of finishing second at Chepstow, while it was soft going when Lucky Lottery placed in a claimer at Beverley in May and she can get involved.

INSHAD showed much improved form (as was clearly expected based on the confidence behind him in the betting) when finding just one too good upped to 7f on his nursery debut at Chepstow last week. He pulled clear of the rest that day and should prove hard to beat off the same mark here with this drop in trip likely to be in his favour. Spring got the better of Cassandraalexandra and Lift Lady over this C&D recently and, with the promise of better to come, she is feared most.

The biggest form contenders are INSHAD, Cassandraalexandra and Spring in that order of preference.

1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +56%) Shantou Lucky	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Shantou Lucky 11/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Some encouragement here on debut for this yard in May but it would be hard to argue that he's built on that in his 3 subsequent starts. Cheekpieces refitted (well held sole previous run in this headgear). Mark continues to fall but has yet to be closer than 10l in six runs for this yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 -11%) Winds Of Winter	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Winds Of Winter 5/1, Has showed more spark switched to handicaps for Paul Flynn the last twice, latterly coming home sixth of 18 upped to 3m at Tipperary. Well worth considering back down in trip on debut for new yard. 0-6 in Ireland, beaten about 11l and 9l in her two handicaps (2m3f/3m).
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -57%) Right Now	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Right Now 22/1, Off the mark on return from a break/debut for this yard at Market Rasen in June. Followed that with a respectable third off 4 lb higher in a Uttoxeter handicap but no so good last 2 starts and needs to get back on track. 2m winner and recent signs suggest that he may appreciate this longer distance.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 -20%) Sassified	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) Sassified 9/1, Notched third success of 2023 when taking a 19f Fontwell handicap last October. Now 3 lb below that winning mark and, having stepped up on his low-key reappearance when mid-field at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) recently, this 6-y-o is one to consider. Potentially well handicapped and the signs were more encouraging 18 days ago.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +14%) Yakaleo	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Yakaleo 6/1, Out of a winning hurdler/chaser and offered plenty of encouragement when third at Musselburgh on debut. Failed to build on that since, though, including in 3 runs in this sphere, and he needs to raise his game now handicapping. Down the field in his three hurdles but the bumper runs were promising; h'cap debut.
6th	10 6th (10) (4/1 +43%) League Clash	4 4/1(+43%)	(10) League Clash 4/1, Stepped up on what he achieved for previous connections when third of 13 on debut for this yard in first-time tongue strap at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) recently. That form is nothing special but will have an each-way chance if able to build on that here with Rex Dingle taking over. Ran a positive first race for this yard with the tongue-tie added at Newton Abbot (3m2f).
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -611%) Gina Moon	16 16/1(-611%)	(1) Gina Moon 16/1, Respectable efforts at Downpatrick (17.8f) and Ballinrobe (22.4f) the last twice. This may well prove to be her optimum trip and she could have more to offer for her top Irish yard now pitched into a handicap. Last two maiden efforts offered some promise with a view to handicaps.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 -29%) Nakassama	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Nakassama 9/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat, most recently finishing fourth of 12 in a Galway handicap. However, low-key in 3 appearances over hurdles so far and this Irish raider is another who needs to improve now switched to handicap company for the first time in this sphere. Fair run on the Flat in Ireland last time; interesting now handicapping over hurdles.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (9/2 +59%) Gavin	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(9) Gavin 9/2, A three-time winner last summer and while he hasn't come close to scaling those heights since (both in this sphere and on the Flat) since returning from a break in May, this 6-y-o is dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark. Four-time 2m winner on good ground but this year hasn't been going well under either code.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (12/1 +0%) Solway Molly	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Solway Molly 12/1, Opened hurdles account at Hexham last autumn and back on track when second in a 9-runner handicap at Cartmel (2¾m, good) on latest start in June. Nudged back up 3 lb but she pulled clear of the third that day and will surely have a part to play if in a similar mood here. Narrowly missed out at Cartmel and she's capable of following one good run with another.
11	11 \|U\| (11) (33/1 0%) Don't Look Back	33 33/1(0%)	(11) Don't Look Back 33/1, A fair performer on the Flat for Lucinda Russell last year but no better than poor form over hurdles for this yard. Likely to find one or two too good here. 15-race maiden hurdler who is 1-34 overall; well held last time at Cartmel.

League Clash offered something to work with on his third-placed stable debut over an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month and this drop in trip brings him into calculations. The Gordon Elliott-trained Gina Moon makes her handicap bow off what looks a workable mark. Nevertheless, WINDS OF WINTER catches the eye on her opening bid for Iain Jardine. The six-year-old only weakened in the closing stages when sixth over 3m at Tipperary in July and she's taken to open her account.

A chance is taken on GAVIN, who hasn't fired so far this year but he's plummeted down the weights as a result (now 17 lb below last winning mark) and he performed well when runner-up on his sole previous visit here last June. Winds of Winter is interesting on debut for his new yard having acquitted himself well in big-field handicaps in Ireland the last twice, while Irish raider Gina Moon, Sassified and Solway Molly all need considering, too.

Southern raider SASSIFIED has brighter prospects than his form figures may imply. League Clash is second choice.

Good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good, 8/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Another big effort is on the cards. Course winner in July; needs to be produced with a well-timed challenge; ground a worry.

Mark is handy now and she should go well. Won this race last year and looked back in good form over C&D in June; likely contender.

CALL BLUE returned from a lengthy absence with a solid effort when second at Stratford last month and could be hard to beat if building on that. Raised 3lb, the selection is still open to further progression in handicaps and offers strong appeal. Karannelle wasn't beaten far over the extended 2m2f here last month and has to be of interest, while Saddlers Quest also warrants close inspection on her first start after wind surgery.

After winning here in July, KARANELLE has shaped as if still ahead of her mark in races that didn't go her way, so she's fancied to resume winning ways dropping back in trip and grade. Saddlers Quest is likely to put up a bold showing and Call Blue can get involved if the race doesn't come too soon.

Preference is for CALL BLUE (nap), who returned from a long absence with a very creditable run in defeat at Stratford last month.

THE WALLPARK has progressed well this summer and is on a hat-trick after landing a valuable 2m6f here at the Festival meeting. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding stays well and gets the vote in a race where the market will provide important clues. Fakir D'oudairies is a high-class gelding over fences winning four times at Grade 1 level but hasn't run over hurdles in over five years, while French Dynamite is also a smart chaser and won his last hurdle start but that was nearly two years ago. Lord Erskine has proved a tremendous dual-purpose performer for connections and rolled back the years when landing a valuable 2m handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival this spring, while Kings Hill steps up in trip and has a bit to do at the weights.

None of these can be discounted but FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES is fancied to make a winning return with his yard going well. Course scorer The Wallpark appeals as the main danger to Joseph O'Brien's smart performer ahead of French Dynamite and Kings Hill.

THE WALLPARK (nap) is the solid option. He's fit and in top form, he won a big pot here last time out and there could be more to come.

Will be a threat if able to build on that much-improved effort here. Showed clear improvement at Windsor (handicap debut) last time; shortlisted.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +40%) Fen Tiger	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(3) Fen Tiger 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/4) 8 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Interesting granted slow ground, having gained all wins on softer than good.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 +13%) Fighting Poet	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Fighting Poet 7/2, 15/2, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 20 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb rise fair enough and likely to be in the mix, providing conditions are suitable (unproven on going slower than good to soft). Off the mark in C&D contest three weeks ago; still comparatively unexposed on turf.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -25%) Irezumi	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Irezumi 10/1, Winner here in August (sole success from 22 starts). Fourth of 5 in handicap (15/8) at this course (9.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find one or two too good once more. Has plenty of Brighton form this season but was disappointing last week.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 -86%) Fascinating Lips	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(1) Fascinating Lips 13/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 61 days ago.

Back down in trip and she's one to consider. Three-time C&D winner, most recently in April; possibilities back in this scenario.
7th	4 7th (4) (15/2 -50%) The Conqueror	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(4) The Conqueror 15/2, Latest win here in May. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, firm, 9/4) 37 days ago.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Hinted at improvement at Windsor (handicap debut) last month; not ruled out.

Fighting Poet scored on fast ground over course and distance last time, but it took him 20 attempts before finally opening his account and the less exposed INNISFREE PEARL makes more appeal. Tom Ward's three-year-old left her novice form behind when finishing third on the soft ground at Windsor on her handicap debut, and she looks capable of winning off her current mark on that evidence. Daidalos finished behind the selection that day but has scope for further progress, while Fen Tiger may prove best of the rest.

Though FASCINATING LIPS has failed to reproduce the form of June's Windsor near-miss in three subsequent appearances, he is on a tempting mark and will have every chance if able to bounce back. Cloudy Rose goes well here and she is second choice ahead of Innisfree Pearl, who will have claims if able to build on her handicap debut third, and recent C&D scorer Fighting Poet.

In-form contender FIGHTING POET (nap) is taken to follow up his C&D win. Innisfree Pearl is second choice.

2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -50%) Summergrounds	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(2) Summergrounds 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Market Rasen in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle there three months ago.

Sold for £2,000 and yet to make an impact for this yard, albeit his latest effort was more encouraging and his mark looks lenient. Latest run here was a step back in the right direction but now has to back that up.

Back up in trip now and may have even more to offer. Third here last time and today's longer trip heightens interest on handicap debut.

Although Grain Of Hope has plenty to prove judged on her Flat/NH defeats this year, market support must be noted now that she is under the tutelage of Gordon Elliott. That said,, SUMMERGROUNDS looks the most solid proposition having posted a solid third at Market Rasen in June. The eight-year-old scored at that same venue off a 215-day layoff in May, so this absence is of no concern. Handicap debutant Twoplacesatonetime also warrants consideration.

GRAIN OF HOPE is well handicapped on the pick of her form for Emma Lavelle and her new stable may well have turned her round since a poor showing on the Flat, so she makes more appeal than Summergrounds, who should give his running again. Twoplacesatonetime could have more to offer, so he's also considered.

The suggestion is JORMUNGANDR who all things considered shaped well at Worcester before getting stuck in the mud at Uttoxeter.

CLAIM TO GLORY won over the extended mile here on his nursery debut. Hugo Palmer's inmate found a second wind when challenged for the lead in the closing stages, so this extra distance should prove well within his compass and he can defy a 5lb rise. Greek Gift may also appreciate this extra test of stamina, though she is now 8lb higher than when scoring at Beverley last month, while Keep Singing could go well too.

LOCKWOOD appeals as a likely improver now her stamina is drawn out more on her handicap debut so looks the way to go. Carlisle runner-up Greek Gift appeals as the main danger to James Owen's filly ahead of recent course scorer Claim To Glory.

Greek Gift ought to make another bold bid but CLAIM TO GLORY is preferred after a gutsy win here on his nursery debut.

ALAN DE BANKS faces a potentially straightforward task here. A game winner over C&D on his debut in June, the selection was heavily supported on his latest start at Worcester but greenness probably got the better of him that day. Wiser and back in familiar surroundings, compensation could await. The Expensive One edges out Mon The Hoops to be the pick of the remainder.

ALAN DE BANKS has made a solid start to his career and is taken to add another C&D success. The Expensive One should improve from his debut, so can't be dismissed.

Alan De Banks is a C&D winner but THE EXPENSIVE ONE ran well for a long way in a good-quality Newbury race on his debut.

REPEAT THAT returned to form with a vengeance when slamming his 14 rivals over 3m at Kilbeggan on Friday. The Shantou gelding, who only joined Harry Kelly this year and was adding to a previous win three years ago, can follow up under a 7lb penalty. The lightly-raced Glenmorefiftyfour advertised his claims when runner-up over 2m4f at Sligo last month, while Sydney Cruiser is stepped up in trip following a couple of placed efforts. Mrs Biddle, Tom Red and Imbolc are others to consider.

REPEAT THAT won easily at Kilbeggan on Friday and a 7 lb penalty may not stop him if in a similar mood. Sydney Cruiser and Glenmorefiftyfour are respected on the back of good runner-up efforts last month. Lizlucky is also on a good mark if ready to roll after 7 months off.

A chance is taken on WEST CLARE who ran well last time and he's bred to be an improver over this longer distance.

Myna arrives on the back of a solid second at Newbury and he must enter calculations in his current heart. However, the three-year-old isn't certain to appreciate underfoot conditions, so PLATINUM PRINCE may have his measure. The Harbour Watch gelding has plenty of soft ground form to his name and his latest second behind a subsequent winner at Goodwood cannot be faulted. Dr Foster makes most appeal of the remainder.

While PLATINUM PRINCE isn't one to set your watch by, he will surely go close if in the same form as when runner-up in an amateur riders' race at Goodwood recently. The prospect of soft ground is of no great concern for this 7-y-o, whereas it is an unknown/a worry for several of these. Sun Festival abd Carnival Day (in order of preference) may emerge as the main dangers, given that The Thunderer appears to be at his best on a fast surface.

It might pay to take a chance on CARNIVAL DAY who ran a positive first race for his new yard in a stronger handicap at Sandown.

Gino Drummer Boy has to be of some interest but a market watch may be the best guide to his chances as he steps up to this trip for the first time. Iron Heart also has to be considered despite top weight, but they may both struggle to get the better of the hat-trick seeking BULLION BOSS. His C&D win last month was only narrow, but connections may revert to more patient tactics on this occasion and that may suit him better.

BULLION BOSS might be able to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Iron Heart has run well on the Flat since his Worcester win in July and is feared most ahead of Blended Stealth.

It's hard to oppose Nicky Richards' hat-trick seeking BULLION BOSS (nap) who arrives at the top of his game.

REPOSADO wasn't at his best on the slow ground at Doncaster on his first attempt over this distance. Narrowly beaten in novice company at Ascot back in May, he'll take all of the beating if running anywhere near that level. Target Man has been absent from the track since going close at Lingfield in April and returns to action fitted with a tongue-tie. We've yet to see the best of him, while Galaxy Zoo can include a Listed winner among her winning relatives and is a newcomer to keep an eye on.

TARGET MAN made a promising start when just edged out at Lingfield and is fancied to build on it and get off the mark at the chief expense of Jewel of London, who has the form to play a big part if at her best. Reposado is also well in the mix if bringing his A-game.

Reposado's best form gives him strong claims but TARGET MAN brings potential and gets the tentative vote.

Last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft, 18/1) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Placed in back-to-back 2m5f handicaps at Downpatrick last summer; may improve on last run.

12th	14 12th (14) (14/1 +0%) But What About Me	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) But What About Me 14/1, 10/1, fell at the last in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, soft) 19 days ago (still bang there when exiting). Not taken lightly. Was about to be headed when falling at the final flight at Sligo but that was a good run.

14th	20 14th (20) (12/1 +64%) Steelers Appeal	12 12/1(+64%)	(20) Steelers Appeal 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap chase (20/1) at Wexford (25f, good to soft) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from chase to hurdles. Respectable fifth over fences last time but pulled up in his previous hurdle.
15th	8 15th (8) (22/1 -83%) Queenofthelodge	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Queenofthelodge 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 151 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May well do better. Could raise her profile now handicapping over further as she's bred to stay.

Latest win in chase at Limerick in May. 5/2, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 31 days ago.

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME was just joined when falling at the last at Sligo last time and may be able to gain some compensation. The Norman Lee-trained mare was tackled by stable-mate Shuil Na Tra when crashing out and that was an improved showing on previous form. She's still relatively unexposed. Kilmurry Jj was beaten favourite on his last outing and may just have been on the back-foot then after a mistake early. He still looks nicely treated over hurdles and could be a danger. Reddys Island also looks potentially well in over hurdles, compared to her chase mark, and is another to consider on her return to action.

Perhaps it's worth rolling the dice with the 4-y-o filly QUEENOFTHELODGE, who hasn't pulled up any trees in a trio of maiden hurdles but it may well be that she will be seen in an entirely different light now upped in trip for this handicap debut. If she fails to take the required step forward Ballagh Star could be the one to deliver the goods, while Reddys Island will be a threat if fully tuned-up and Lets Do This also enters calculations.

It could pay to risk BALLAGH STAR who went close to defying a similar mark here last September and his final effort wasn't too shoddy.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -45%) Otago	4 4/1(-45%)	(4) Otago 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. 11/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, running on. In good form, versatile ground-wise and, all in all, there is much to like about this 7-y-o's prospects. Three-time C&D winner off higher marks; runner-up here eight days ago; good chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +0%) On Song	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(2) On Song 11/4, C&D winner in August. 3/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Performed with credit on soft ground at Doncaster during the spring and will have a part to play if able to bounce back from that disappointing Bath display. Successful here on most recent 7f start and may have more to offer at this trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +31%) Zaltalla	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Zaltalla 9/2, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm, 8/1) 30 days ago. Readily passed over. This drop in grade, combined with a reduced mark, may prompt a bigger effort.
4	5 4th (5) (17/2 +15%) Muy Muy Guapo	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(5) Muy Muy Guapo 17/2, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 18/1, respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time and likely to come up short once more. 23-race maiden whose chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 -23%) Big Bard	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Big Bard 2/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 5/4, good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago. Won't be inconvenienced if the ground is on the slow side and bold show anticipated. Multiple 6f scorer who is in form; close second in this race two years ago; solid.

Triple C&D winner OTAGO is likely to prove popular having finished a close-up second over track and trip at the start of this month. Jim Boyle's inmate makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark and compensation could be on the cards. Big Bard must be noted in his current mood but the 7f trip on more testing conditions may stretch his stamina. A bigger threat may emerge from On Song, who should enjoy a return to his last winning distance.

The vote goes to OTAGO, who won't mind what happens weather-wise and he was just touched off here off this mark eight days ago. Big Bard is another for whom the ground is seemingly immaterial and he is feared most ahead of On Song.

Judged on his latest effort, OTAGO looks poised to record a fourth C&D win. Big Bard is second choice ahead of On Song.

Player if in similar form back hurdling. Off the mark for new yard in 3m chase here latest; must enter calculations back hurdling.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/2 +0%) Western Glen	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(8) Western Glen 11/2, Back to form when third of 15 over C&D (good) 23 days ago, his first outing over 3m. In the mix again with a repeat. Still to register a victory but good C&D third 23 days ago; she's one for the shortlist.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/2 -15%) Dalileo	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(4) Dalileo 15/2, C&D winner in June and has run with credit on his 3 visits here since, on the latest finishing 4 lengths fifth of 15 last month. Likely to be competitive again. C&D winner in June and he's continued in good form; he ought to be thereabouts.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 -44%) Paddy Elvis	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Paddy Elvis 13/2, Still a maiden but he's competitive off his mark, finishing a creditable third of 19 over 3m at Down Royal 10 days ago. Is 0-17 but comes here in good nick; can make his presence felt once more.

Has a first-time tongue tie added to the blinkers he wore last time. Badly out of sorts, blinkered when pulled up (for third start running) over C&D in July.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +14%) Western Run	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Western Run 12/1, It's now 28 runs since his last win in 2020 but he wasn't discredited when fourth in a course handicap in July. Only seventh of 15 over C&D last month, though. Arrives on a long losing run but not disgraced when C&D seventh 23 days ago; considered.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (100/1 -525%) Laxey	100 100/1(-525%)	(1) Laxey 100/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Henry Daly but for a whopping 56 months prior to pulling up at Cartmel last month. Tongue tied first time.

GENERAL HUBBLE returns to hurdles for his second start since joining Gordon Elliott and he could be hard to stop following a third over fences at Killarney last month. He may have too many guns over this trip for Jimli's Island, who won here over fences in August. Paddy Elvis was a respectable third at Down Royal last month and is another Irish raider worthy of serious consideration.

GENERAL HUBBLE scored off this mark over hurdles at Market Rasen towards the end of 2023 and is given a chance to build on a promising first run for Gordon Elliot over fences in Ireland last month. Lisa Harrison's Dalileo has been in good form here this summer and is second choice ahead of Western Glen. Upfordebate is a handicap newcomer to monitor in the betting.

This can go to GENERAL HUBBLE who shaped well on his first run for Gordon Elliott over fences at Killarney and can resume winning ways.

Last of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 7/1) 11 days ago so needs to get back on track. 7f turf win in July; not built on it since and could prove vulnerable over a sharp 6f.

A C&D winner at the end of last year, STARSHIBA has tumbled down the handicap since but Mick Appleby's seven-year-old may still prove capable of winning at claiming level. Mr Squires was successful in a handicap over 7f here in June and has every chance on these terms, while Bowman has finished thereabouts over 7f of late and is another to take seriously.

STARSHIBA rates much the pick at these weights so this C&D scorer gets a confident vote. B Associates could emerge as the one to chase home Mick Appleby's 7-y-o ahead of Bowman and Alexander James.

These terms aren't advantageous for BOWMAN, but unlike his rivals he looks highly likely to give his running and that might suffice.

JESSE EVANS was running a big race on his chase debut in Killarney until a mistake two from home. He travelled like the winner running down to that fence but a blunder knocked the stuffing out of him and he did well in the end to finish third to Arctic Fly. With the experience under his belt he looks the one to beat now. Shecouldbeanything didn't come out of the stalls on the Flat last time but could be a danger now trying fences. The Malinas mare was smart over timber and getting 7lb from the boys is a help. Jet Setting Jim ran a solid race when third here at the festival and is another for the shortlist.

JET SETTING JIM shades preference ahead of Jesse Evans and chase debutant Boldog. The selection held every chance when falling at the last on his chase debut and wasn't knocked about when third over this C&D next time, leaving the strong impression that there is better to come. Jesse Evans was the pick of these over hurdles and probably would've made a winning start over fences at Killarney but for a bad mistake at the second-last. He is the main danger.

Preference is for JESSE EVANS. A late mistake cost him dearly on his chasing debut at Killarney and he can gain compensation.

4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +30%) Ayr Harbour	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(2) Ayr Harbour 7/2, Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 11 days ago. Up in trip. All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 -43%) Tasmanian Legend	20 20/1(-43%)	(10) Tasmanian Legend 20/1, Three AW wins at the start of the year, including 2 over C&D. 10/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (1½m, good to firm) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Feasibly treated back on AW. Has been struggling on turf but he's useful on the AW and nothing wrong with his mark.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +25%) Dawn Of Liberation	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Dawn Of Liberation 9/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Others are preferred for win purposes again. Continues to fall in the weights but still struggling to have a major say in his races.
7th	8 7th (8) (13/2 +28%) Photon	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) Photon 13/2, Cheekpieces on first time, last of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (1¼m, good, 12/1) 85 days ago but had been in good form on AW prior to that, including twice runner-up here. Respected back on AW. Running well on the AW before perhaps finding the ground too fast at Salisbury.
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 -33%) King Of Scotia	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) King Of Scotia 8/1, Three 1m wins this year, the latest at Newmarket last month. 10/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Tough mark so claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause.
9th	7 9th (7) (15/2 -50%) Giorgio M	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(7) Giorgio M 15/2, 7f course winner in July. 16/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 14 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Player for leading stable. Ran right up to his best when fourth in a Class 4 at Epsom two weeks ago; new trip.

Off 164 days. Down in trip. Has had wind surgery. Twice second at Newcastle before struggling with a wide draw last time; had wind op.

The winning margin doesn't tell the full story in regards to how much CLOUDY SKYE had in hand when she stole a march to win eased down at Pontefract in July, and a 6lb higher mark could be brushed aside if she matches that level back on a Tapeta surface. The selection does lack experience at this venue, which gives hope for the likes of Giorgio M and Photon, who have both performed well here in the past.

CLOUDY SKYE is well drawn to repeat the front-running tactics which saw her to good effect at Pontefract last time and might be able to cope with a 6 lb rise. Giorgio M has been performing consistently over 7f and should have a say if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip. King of Scotia is another who has had a good spell lately and also enters the reckoning along with Photon, who should prove suited by the return to AW.

This looks very open but PHOTON could be interesting as he was running well until probably finding the ground too fast at Salisbury.

1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +18%) Neveradullmoment	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(6) Neveradullmoment 9/4, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.7f, soft, 7/1) 36 days ago, driven clear. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has to be taken seriously. Won off the same mark over hurdles here last time; had placed form over fences.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -78%) Macgiloney	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Macgiloney 16/1, Temperamental sort. Good third of 14 in handicap chase (14/1) at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago, going in snatches. Others more persuasive. Multiple winner but burdened with a tough handicap mark and drier ground suits.
3	5 3rd (5) (66/1 -450%) Toofareastiswest	66 66/1(-450%)	(5) Toofareastiswest 66/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles in December. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase (18/5) at Thurles (21.6f, heavy). Off 7 months with more needed. Capable chaser but might just need this after a period on the sidelines.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -180%) Lake Chad	14 14/1(-180%)	(9) Lake Chad 14/1, 15/2, improved to win 12-runner handicap chase at Tramore (22f, good to soft) 22 days ago by 13 lengths from Natural Breeze. Ought to be in the shake-up despite a 8 lb weights rise. Comfortable Tramore winner; up 8lb and this softer surface might not be ideal.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 +18%) Marronstown	9 9/1(+18%)	(7) Marronstown 9/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in chase at Punchestown in June. 4/1, below form sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.5f, soft) 47 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Poor last time but if he can recapture that penultimate effort then he'd be a player.
6th	2 6th (2) (13/2 -18%) Bocelli's Voice	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(2) Bocelli's Voice 13/2, Latest win in chase at Wexford in April. Good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft, 11/4) 47 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and in the picture. Second at Wexford last time and won't mind returning to a longer distance.
7th	10 7th (10) (15/2 +6%) Centurion Steel	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(10) Centurion Steel 15/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, solid third of 13 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good) 86 days ago. This is no easy ask at these weights though. Fair third at Downpatrick latest but softer ground here isn't favourable.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +50%) Shantou Show	9 9/1(+50%)	(4) Shantou Show 9/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 9/1) 33 days ago. Faces an uphill task. Has not offered a great deal in his two handicaps, especially last time.
9th	3 9th (3) (12/1 -220%) King Ferdinand	12 12/1(-220%)	(3) King Ferdinand 12/1, 15/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Killarney (20.8f, soft) 18 days ago, cruising clear. Can give another good account. Raised 9lb for Killarney but this 8yo might be improving (now 3-7 as a chaser).
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (3/1 +88%) Just Three	3 3/1(+88%)	(8) Just Three 3/1, 33/1, very good fourth of 14 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Merits consideration. Still early days over fences and this should be more realistic than beginners' assignments.

NEVERADULLMOMENT seems to have a real liking for the course here and can open his chasing account now. The Mahler gelding has gained both career wins here, the latest coming when scoring over timber at the festival meeting. He went up 8lb for that effort and it's no surprise to see him switched back to fences now. He remains on 113 over the larger obstacles, the same mark he won off here last time over timber. King Ferdinand looks an obvious threat. The Milan gelding was a good winner at Killarney last month and bids to defy a 9lb rise. Bocelli's Voice has been running consistently well and is another to consider.

Lots with chances but NEVERADULLMOMENT arrives on the back of an impressive hurdling success here and can race off the same mark so gets the vote reverted to fences. Handicap chase debutant Just Three is next on the list with Killarney victor King Ferdinand and Tramore scorer Lake Chad also well in the mix.

A few with chances but MARRONSTOWN might make them all go if returning to the form he showed when successful at Punchestown.

Three wins, including C&D, in first half of the year; handicapper had his measure of late.

SURPRISE PICTURE was in a dominant mood when readily justifying cramped odds over this C&D on Thursday and is an attractive proposition turned out quickly under a 5lb penalty. The consistent Ultramarine doesn't always impress in a finish but it is not for the want of trying and, as a previous C&D winner off a 9lb higher mark, he is put forward as the main danger. Chalk Mountain and Roaring Ralph are others to note.

ULTRAMARINE has been knocking on the door lately and can deservedly get his head back in front. Last week's winners Chalk Mountain, Surprise Picture and Roaring Ralph can give him most to do in that order.

Roaring Ralph is high on the list but CHALK MOUNTAIN (nap) looked better than this grade when winning at Southwell last week.

MUMMY DERRY is a really interesting newcomer for Willie Mullins. The Yeats filly is a half-sister to exciting chaser Spillane's Tower, one of the top novices of last season who secured Grade 1 wins at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. Meitheal is probably the pick of those with form. She has been runner-up on both outings to date, at Wexford, and is entitled to play a big part with that experience under her belt. Clever Minded shaped with promise when third on her debut at the festival meeting here and with natural improvement she is another that has to be respected.

MUMMY DERRY is related to a very smart chaser and the percentage call is that she can make a successful start representing top connections. Meitheal is the pick of those with experience.

Team Mullins won this with an odds-on debutante 12 months ago and they might repeat the trick with MUMMY DERRY.

Just three-quarters of a length separated GRECIAN GOD (winner) and Diligent Henry (runner-up) over C&D last month and, while the latter has a feasible chance of turning the form around on 3lb better terms, it is worth bearing in mind that the former raced very wide and could uphold the form if keeping a straighter line into the home straight this time. True Blue Gent wasn't beaten far into fifth that day and offers some each-way appeal.

GRECIAN GOD got on top of Diligent Henry close home here last month and can get the better of Jessica Macey's charge again. Blacklion is starting to look well handicapped again and is another who could play a prominent role.

This is much weaker than the handicaps HELP ME RHONDA has been tackling in Ireland and she can make a winning stable debut.

In a handicap for horses with a maximum of one victory, it seems relevant that Roman Secret's only win was here in November last year - in a better race and off a 7lb higher mark. She can go well, but has to give 2lb to JEZ BOMB, who seems in better form. Beaten less than three lengths when fourth at Thirsk last month, he won at Redcar in July and seems the more sensible pick. Miss Dandylion is another to consider.

JEZ BOMB left the impression that the trip stretched him last time but he'd been on the up prior to that and is fancied to resume winning ways. Hope Rising is an interesting one back up in trip with blinkers applied and Bay of Australia is well treated if he can build on his latest outing.

Roman Secret is expected to fare much better today but the reliable JEZ BOMB can gain his second win of the year.

2	6 2nd (6) (11/4 +31%) Suanni	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(6) Suanni 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 11/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Worthy of respect back at this track. Front-runner; C&D winner in July; quiet on turf last time but better expected back on AW.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +25%) Musical Diva	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Musical Diva 3/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago. More than likely to be on the presmises in a thin race. C&D win in January; quiet latest but she'd been threatening before that; should go well.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 -63%) Q Twenty Boy	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(5) Q Twenty Boy 13/2, 4-time course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. 15/2, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt back on AW. Three wins this year, two of them here, and likely to make another bold bid.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 -13%) Next Second	9 9/1(-13%)	(7) Next Second 9/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. All four wins have come over C&D; not at best last time but return to Wolverhampton a plus.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -213%) Pink Stripes	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Pink Stripes 50/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Last of 11 in minor event (28/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 11 days ago. Up against it. Exposed 28-race maiden; no problem with conditions but others have more pressing claims.
7th	4 7th (4) (15/2 -50%) Ustath	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(4) Ustath 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 4/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at this course (7.2f) 56 days ago. Drop back in trip is in his favour and he's worth considering. Two course wins this year; 7f a valid excuse last time; other pace to deal with this time.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 0%) L'sarafina	50 50/1(0%)	(9) L'sarafina 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 150/1). Off 13 months. Hard to make any sort of case for. Beaten 22l or more in her four runs; absent for 416 days and can't be recommended.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -108%) Belvoir Kitten	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Belvoir Kitten 25/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (50/1), nearest finish. Off 135 days. Uphill task. Not beaten far over C&D when last seen in April but overall profile is unconvincing.

NEXT SECOND has every chance. Already a C&D winner four times, with one of those off a higher mark than the 47 she is racing off here, she was hampered at the start at Chelmsford last time and is clearly a lot better than that. Maris Angel is interesting on her handicap debut dropping in trip, but July winner Suanni is the one expected to put up most resistance to the selection.

MUSICAL DIVA has been holding her form well and this represents a drop in grade, so she's worth taking a chance on. Ustath should benefit from the drop back in trip and Q Twenty Boy is a player returned to AW.

This looks set to be well run and NEXT SECOND, who reserves her best for this C&D, may be able to register a fifth win at the track.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
