1
1st (5) Langer Dan (4/1 -20%)
Langer Dan

4/1(-20%)
(5) Langer Dan 4/1, Well clear of rest when second to Galopin des Champs in 2021 Martin Pipe. Sent off favourite for this year's renewal of that race but was brought down at the second. Worth another chance.
2
2nd (4) Fils D'oudairies (10/1 +0%)
Fils D'oudairies

10/1(+0%)
(4) Fils D'oudairies 10/1, Hurdles winner in France who showed useful form despite some sketchy jumping over fences for Joseph O'Brien last season. Solid start for new stable when second in 19f Ascot handicap hurdle in January. Claims if able to build on that.
3
3rd (10) Balco Coastal (8/1 +33%)
Balco Coastal

8/1(+33%)
(10) Balco Coastal 8/1, Going the right way until pulled up in the Imperial Cup at Sandown last month, the very testing ground on that occasion providing a possible excuse. No surprise were he to resume his progression now.
4
4th (2) Garry Clermont (25/1 +0%)
Garry Clermont

25/1(+0%)
(2) Garry Clermont 25/1, Likeable handicap hurdler who has continued his progress this season, winning at Wetherby and placed 3 times at Ascot. Might have found 21f on very testing ground stretching him in Coral Cup at Cheltenham Festival.
5th
5th (13) Paddys Motorbike (22/1 -10%)
Paddys Motorbike

22/1(-10%)
(13) Paddys Motorbike 22/1, Chase winner at Fakenham on reappearance. Didn't jump well enough at Kempton next time but back on track returned to hurdles when second of 17 there 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on.
6th
6th (17) Broomfield Burg (9/1 +50%)
Broomfield Burg

9/1(+50%)
(17) Broomfield Burg 9/1, Dual novice hurdle winner but he has looked bit tricky on occasions and he was only seventh when sent off favourite for the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February. Had an excuse in the County (stumbled badly after 3 out) but this longer trip isn't sure to suit this keen-goer.
7th
7th (22) Peking Rose (8.5/1 +29%)
Peking Rose

8.5/1(+29%)
(22) Peking Rose 8.5/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler, winning once and placed on his 3 other starts this year, including when stepped up to this trip at Newbury last time. Relatively unexposed now switching to handicap company for the first time.
8th
8th (7) Tronador (22/1 -38%)
Tronador

22/1(-38%)
(7) Tronador 22/1, Won this race a year ago. Hasn't fired since, although he may have needed the run after a break at Cheltenham. No surprise if he revives back here but he is running off 8 lb higher than 12 months ago.
9th
9th (1) Hang In There (80/1 -21%)
Hang In There

80/1(-21%)
(1) Hang In There 80/1, Dual 2m winner this season but his run of good form came to an end when only seventh in Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las in October. Steps back up in trip on return from break. No easy task under clear top weight.
|F|
|F| (15) Navajo Pass (33/1 +0%)
Navajo Pass

33/1(+0%)
(15) Navajo Pass 33/1, Smart hurdler last term, including Haydock Grade 2 win, but not at same level this time round, despite his yard's excellent form in general. Remains to be seen if a first-time tongue tie makes the difference.
10th
10th (11) Quinta Do Mar (25/1 +11%)
Quinta Do Mar

25/1(+11%)
(11) Quinta Do Mar 25/1, Ready winner of handicaps at Carlisle and Fontwell this winter. Looked set for a place when coming down at the last in the Lanzarote at Kempton in January but he could only mange a mid-field finish in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham.
11th
11th (19) Speech Bubble (8/1 -33%)
Speech Bubble

8/1(-33%)
(19) Speech Bubble 8/1, Bumper winner who built on her hurdling debut promise when scoring with a bit in hand at Newbury in January. Improved again when chasing home Cheltenham Festival winner Love Envoi in Sandown Grade 2 since. Opening mark looks workable.
12th
12th (14) Rockadenn (100/1 -25%)
Rockadenn

100/1(-25%)
(14) Rockadenn 100/1, Back to best on second run for yard when runner-up in handicap hurdle at Haydock in December. Tough ask in Champion Hurdle Trial there next time and creditable third in 2m Wetherby handicap chase since. Back up in trip.
13th
13th (16) Politesse (20/1 +0%)
Politesse

20/1(+0%)
(16) Politesse 20/1, Useful form when making a winning chase debut at Punchestown last May, although she was on the reteat when unseating 2 out in a Cork Grade 2 5 months later. Had another break since ahead of this handicap debut back hurdling.
14th
14th (9) Lucky Max (40/1 +20%)
Lucky Max

40/1(+20%)
(9) Lucky Max 40/1, Started the season with 3 wins in Ireland. Handicapper has held the upper hand since but it's possible he could find some improvement having switched to Dan Skelton.
15th
15th (8) Top Moon (150/1 -20%)
Top Moon

150/1(-20%)
(8) Top Moon 150/1, Very useful hurdler/chaser for Joseph O'Brien but well held in Coral Cup on yard debut last month. Others much more obvious.
16th
16th (3) Cobblers Dream (4/1 +50%)
Cobblers Dream

4/1(+50%)
(3) Cobblers Dream 4/1, Upwardly mobile novice hurdler who made a winning start in handicaps at Doncaster and followed up in the Lanzarote at Kempton 5 weeks later. Progressed again when excellent second in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month. Nudged up another 4 lb but still much respected.
17th
17th (20) Fred (66/1 -32%)
Fred

66/1(-32%)
(20) Fred 66/1, Useful novice hurdler during 2019/20. Seen only 4 times subsequently, finishing a distant last of 4 in a Kempton handicap chase on his latest start in February. Has plenty to prove at present.
|PU|
|PU| (12) Highway One O Two (16/1 +0%)
Highway One O Two

16/1(+0%)
(12) Highway One O Two 16/1, Ended losing run when capitalising on a reduced mark in 19f Taunton handicap in December and backed that up when excellent second to Cobblers Dream in Lanzarote at Kempton. Player for his very much in-form stable.
|PU|
|PU| (21) Mackenberg (33/1 +0%)
Mackenberg

33/1(+0%)
(21) Mackenberg 33/1, Talented sort who arrives on the back of a trio of chase wins this year. Has a 10 lb lower mark over hurdles so has to be of some interest for a stable enjoying a tremendous season.
|PU|
|PU| (18) Solwara One (40/1 +20%)
Solwara One

40/1(+20%)
(18) Solwara One 40/1, Progressive hurdler last term but hasn't looked the same force (including over fences) this time round, so doesn't make much obvious appeal.

1
1st (6) Jonbon (1/1 +9%)
Jonbon

1/1(+9%)
(6) Jonbon 1/1, Brother to top-class Douvan and could be of similar standard himself, winning first 5 starts (including a point). Lost little caste in defeat behind Constitution Hill in Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham last month and faces nothing of that calibre here. Outstanding claims.
2
2nd (3) El Fabiolo (4/1 -14%)
El Fabiolo

4/1(-14%)
(3) El Fabiolo 4/1, Confirmed the promise of hurdling debut when impressively landing 15-runner maiden hurdle at Tramore on New Year's Day on first start for this yard. Has loads of potential, so well worth his place in this. First-time hood applied.
3
3rd (9) Vina Ardanza (14/1 +22%)
Vina Ardanza

14/1(+22%)
(9) Vina Ardanza 14/1, Landed sole start in bumpers for Stuart Crawford and made winning start for this yard over hurdles at Thurles (15.8f) in November. Shaped very well in the face of quite a stiff task when head second in Grade 3 at Naas last month and he's the type to go on improving.
4
4th (2) Aucunrisque (14/1 +0%)
Aucunrisque

14/1(+0%)
(2) Aucunrisque 14/1, Continues to go from strength to strength, impressing with his attitude to complete the hat-trick in Grade 2 Dovecote at Kempton just under 6 weeks ago. Worth a tilt at this given there could be even more to come from him.
5th
5th (5) First Street (4.5/1 -13%)
First Street

4.5/1(-13%)
(5) First Street 4.5/1, Well-regarded 5-y-o who cashed in off 10 lb lower mark at Kempton (2m) in January. Enhanced his profile when third in Betfair Hurdle and ran another fine race in a top handicap when finishing runner-up in the County 3 weeks ago, noted doing his best work at the finish. Solid each-ways claims.
6th
6th (8) Suprise Package (12/1 +14%)
Suprise Package

12/1(+14%)
(8) Suprise Package 12/1, Had been shaping well in Ireland and, played wide and late, he forged clear to land Imperial Cup at Sandown last month. Ran well but those exertions 6 days prior possibly took their toll when fading into sixth in the County 3 weeks ago. Respected with trainer landing this contest last year.
7th
7th (1) A Different Kind (33/1 +18%)
A Different Kind

33/1(+18%)
(1) A Different Kind 33/1, Won both starts in bumpers and successful on first 3 outings in this sphere. Confirmed himself a useful novice when not beaten far in third in Classic Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham back in January but likely to come up short at this top level.
|U|
|U| (7) Salamanca Bay (80/1 +0%)
Salamanca Bay

80/1(+0%)
(7) Salamanca Bay 80/1, Stepped his form up a notch with a wide-margin success in maiden hurdle at Thurles last month, very much having the run of the race. This a completely different kettle of fish, however.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Eyed (250/1 -25%)
Eyed

250/1(-25%)
(4) Eyed 250/1, Kayf Tara gelding who was in need of the experience and probably a bit flattered to finish fourth in Sandown novice hurdle (well behind Constitution Hill) back in December. On just his second start, he's surely well out of his depth here.

1
1st (1) Ahoy Senor (4/1 +33%)
Ahoy Senor

4/1(+33%)
(1) Ahoy Senor 4/1, Unbeaten hurdler (landed Grade 1 Sefton here 12 months ago) and fine start over fences, emphatically landing Newbury Gr. 2 in November. Runner-up to Bravemansgame/L'Homme Presse in Grade 1's on 2 of 3 starts since and he's undoubtedly capable of better still if polishing up his jumping.
2
2nd (3) Fury Road (14/1 +30%)
Fury Road

14/1(+30%)
(3) Fury Road 14/1, Smart at best over hurdles and bright start over fences this winter, his jumping looking assured as he landed Grade 1 Topaz novice chase (in first-time cheekpieces) at Leopardstown in December. Rare mistake caught him out back there latest and expected to give a good account.
3
3rd (4) L'Homme Presse (1.75/1 -27%)
L'Homme Presse

1.75/1(-27%)
(4) L'Homme Presse 1.75/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who has gone from strength-to-strength over fences, travelling/jumping brilliantly to make it 5-5 in Grade 1 Brown Advisory (24.3f) at Cheltenham, from Ahoy Senor. Highly likely there's more to come at this sort of trip and he's high on the shortlist once more.
4
4th (2) Bravemansgame (1.38/1 +0%)
Bravemansgame

1.38/1(+0%)
(2) Bravemansgame 1.38/1, Smart novice hurdler who has looked a natural over fences, impressive when defeating Ahoy Senor in Kauto Star novices' and maintained 100% record in Newbury novices' handicap in February. Skipped intended Cheltenham engagement on account of the ground and serious player up at Grade 1 level here.

Fakir D'oudairies

0.91/1(+27%)
(4) Fakir D'oudairies 0.91/1, Top-class Irish chaser who had no Allaho in opposition when running out a ready winner of this race 12 months ago. Has looked as good as ever this campaign, landing Gr 1 Ascot Chase in February, and he rates the one to beat again.
2
2nd (6) Hitman (11/1 +0%)
Hitman

11/1(+0%)
(6) Hitman 11/1, Very smart chaser who ran well when third in Grade 1 Manifesto novices' chase here 12 months ago. Respectable efforts all 3 starts in defeat this time around, albeit only third of 4 behind Funambule Sivola in Game Spirit latest. Others appeal more for win purposes.
3
3rd (10) Sceau Royal (18/1 -29%)
Sceau Royal

18/1(-29%)
(10) Sceau Royal 18/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser who arrives on the back of good second to Funambule Sivola in Game Spirit Chase at Newbury in February, conceding 6 lb. Skipped Cheltenham subsequently and this highly admirable 10-y-o should not be dismissed lightly up in trip.
4
4th (8) Paint The Dream (28/1 -12%)
Paint The Dream

28/1(-12%)
(8) Paint The Dream 28/1, 8-y-o who has improved further over fences this season, posting a career-best effort to land Greatwood Gold Cup handicap (19.8f) early on last month. Clearly in rude health but even more needed if he's to feature at this level.
5th
5th (9) Saint Calvados (10/1 -11%)
Saint Calvados

10/1(-11%)
(9) Saint Calvados 10/1, Runner-up in the Ryanair 2 years ago. Seen only 4 times since but ran a cracker to finish third in King George on yard debut in December. Found to have bled when pulled up in Ascot Chase latest but he's not out of things if putting that behind him.
6th
6th (2) Captain Guinness (7.5/1 +46%)
Captain Guinness

7.5/1(+46%)
(2) Captain Guinness 7.5/1, Very smart chaser who got back to winning ways in 3-runner Grade 3 Newlands Chase at Naas (2m) in February, quickening to lead 2 out. Kept fresh since and likely he's worth a crack at this longer trip returned to Grade 1 company.
7th
7th (1) Allmankind (11/1 +21%)
Allmankind

11/1(+21%)
(1) Allmankind 11/1, High-class chaser who enhanced excellent record over fences when tenaciously landing the Old Roan here in October. Rare below par display followed in Huntingdon Grade 2 in December and seemngly not 100% over hurdles in February. Needs to bounce back.
|PU|
|PU| (5) Funambule Sivola (11/1 -22%)
Funambule Sivola

11/1(-22%)
(5) Funambule Sivola 11/1, Likeable front-runner who enhanced his form when landing 4-runner Game Spirit Chase at Newbury in February, holding Sceau Royal by 2 lengths in receipt of 6 lb. Career-best when second in Champion Chase at Cheltenham subsequently and expected to be thereabouts again.
|PU|
|PU| (7) Mister Fisher (14/1 -17%)
Mister Fisher

14/1(-17%)
(7) Mister Fisher 14/1, High-class chaser who regained winning ways in Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton (20.5f) in January. Deep ground possibly caught him out in Ascot Chase (21f) in February but jumping does need to hold up if he's to play a lead role.
|PU|
|PU| (3) Editeur Du Gite (25/1 +24%)
Editeur Du Gite

25/1(+24%)
(3) Editeur Du Gite 25/1, Improving front-running chaser who arrives having acquitted himself well from career-high mark when fourth in last month's Grand Annual at Cheltenham. However, this demands further progress on these terms, stepping back up in trip.

(12) Tamaroc Du Mathan 28/1, Very useful winning chaser at his best who wasn't disgraced when second in handicap at Newbury (19.8f) 34 days ago. This demands another step forward, however.
|PU|
|PU| (24) Mister Whitaker (50/1 -52%)
Mister Whitaker

50/1(-52%)
(24) Mister Whitaker 50/1, Useful handicap chaser for Mick Channon. Landed a novice at Kelso over hurdles in November but below form over fences last two outings. Hard to enthuse over.
|PU|
|PU| (6) Windsor Avenue (50/1 -25%)
Windsor Avenue

50/1(-25%)
(6) Windsor Avenue 50/1, Not the most consistent nowadays but back to his very best in first-time blinkers when winning Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster. Pulled up at Kelso since however so others are preferred.

1st (8) Gelino Bello (3.5/1 +42%)
Gelino Bello

3.5/1(+42%)
(8) Gelino Bello 3.5/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Aintree in October and doubled his tally when making all back in novice company at Newbury last month. Remains capable of better now stepping back up in trip so he's one for the shortlist.
2
2nd (9) Gentleman At Arms (28/1 -100%)
Gentleman At Arms

28/1(-100%)
(9) Gentleman At Arms 28/1, Fairly useful Flat stayer who has taken well to hurdling, opening his account at Huntingdon on Boxing Day and completing a straightforward task to double his tally against a pair of inferior rivals back there last month. Likely to stay this far but others have stronger claims.
3
3rd (14) Haute Estime (100/1 -52%)
Haute Estime

100/1(-52%)
(14) Haute Estime 100/1, Resumed her progress to make it 2-3 over hurdles in 6-runner listed event at Haydock (18.9f) in December but unable to make any impact in Grade 2 company at Sandown next time. Step up in trip a positive but best to look elsewhere.
4
4th (5) Crystal Glory (5.5/1 +31%)
Crystal Glory

5.5/1(+31%)
(5) Crystal Glory 5.5/1, Progressive hurdler who scored twice before excellent second in 20f Newcastle novice in January when set too much to do. Progressed again upped in grade/trip when runner-up to Hillcrest in Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock 7 weeks ago and he's clearly a useful staying novice. Respected.
5th
5th (4) Bridge North (80/1 -60%)
Bridge North

80/1(-60%)
(4) Bridge North 80/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark back in a maiden at Ludlow (21.2f) in January and bettered that form on the back of a wind op when making all at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) last month. This step back up in trip is likely to suit but a big step forward is required to feature.
6th
6th (7) Fair Frontieres (40/1 -100%)
Fair Frontieres

40/1(-100%)
(7) Fair Frontieres 40/1, Lightly raced ex-Irish 7-y-o who made it 3-4 for his new yard when making all in workmanlike fashion at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 17 days ago. Has the makings of a better chaser but not without each-way hope here.
7th
7th (11) My Bobby Dazzler (20/1 +39%)
My Bobby Dazzler

20/1(+39%)
(11) My Bobby Dazzler 20/1, Maiden/handicap winner at this track and maintained 100% record here upped to 24.7f in December. Found things tougher upped in grade at Doncaster in January (returned with an overreach) and that doesn't bode well for his chances in this.
8th
8th (13) Stag Horn (20/1 -25%)
Stag Horn

20/1(-25%)
(13) Stag Horn 20/1, Smart stayer on the Flat (good record in the mud) who impressed when winning both starts over hurdles, notably Grade 2 at Warwick. Found the company beyond him in Albert Bartlett 3 weeks ago but he's worth another try at this top level.
9th
9th (10) Green Book (14/1 +0%)
Green Book

14/1(+0%)
(10) Green Book 14/1, Improver on Flat in 2021 and has continued on the up switched to hurdles, bagging third win in 3m Sandown handicap. Ran creditably to finish fifth in the Albert Bartlett 3 weeks ago (treated for post-race ataxia) but should go well provided this doesn't come too soon.
10th
10th (12) Skytastic (5.5/1 +15%)
Skytastic

5.5/1(+15%)
(12) Skytastic 5.5/1, Showed near useful form when winning a brace of bumpers and took his record over hurdles to 2-2 at Ascot 48 days ago, made to work hard to maintain unbeaten. Open to further progress, he's an interesting contender upped in trip.
11th
11th (3) Bowtogreatness (40/1 -43%)
Bowtogreatness

40/1(-43%)
(3) Bowtogreatness 40/1, Has improved with each run over hurdles, opening his account at Ffos Las in December and following up in good style under a penalty at Leicester 5 weeks later. Upped significantly in grade but we've almost certainly not seen the best of him yet.
12th
12th (1) Banbridge (2.5/1 +9%)
Banbridge

2.5/1(+9%)
(1) Banbridge 2.5/1, Lightly campaigned since starting with a bang last summer and reaped the rewards on only his second handicap start to land the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. He looks to have leading claims in what looks a lower-quality field than usual.
13th
13th (6) Duke Of Bronte (33/1 -106%)
Duke Of Bronte

33/1(-106%)
(6) Duke Of Bronte 33/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Rod Millman and clearly fitter for hurdling debut after a lengthy absence when getting off the mark at Doncaster last month. Will need to take another step forward to get involved but he's in top hands to do so.
|PU|
|PU| (2) Bold Endeavour (12/1 +40%)
Bold Endeavour

12/1(+40%)
(2) Bold Endeavour 12/1, Successful on sole outing in points and won both a Sedgefield bumper/maiden hurdle. Improved further when winning at Wetherby and similar form when met with defeat for the first time in Grade 2 at Kelso last month. This step up in trip sure to suit and he remains a useful staying prospect.

1st (2) Hacker Des Places (10/1 +17%)
Hacker Des Places

10/1(+17%)
(2) Hacker Des Places 10/1, French import who got back to winning ways in 5-runner handicap at Chepstow in February and was back on track when third despite racing on an unfavoured part of the track in the Imperial Cup at Sandown. Holds solid claims.
2
2nd (11) Severance (5/1 +33%)
Severance

5/1(+33%)
(11) Severance 5/1, Useful on Flat and made winning debut over hurdles in November 2020. Hasn't kicked on from that but arrives on the back of a respectable effort at Kelso a month ago. Has undergone wind surgery since, so could have a bigger effort in him.
3
3rd (9) Washington (6.5/1 +0%)
Washington

6.5/1(+0%)
(9) Washington 6.5/1, Dual bumper winner who has looked useful over hurdles and readily doubled his tally in this sphere in a 7-runner novice at Southwell a month ago. Has some strong form to his name, so warrants plenty of respect.
4
4th (13) Whizz Kid (3/1 +25%)
Whizz Kid

3/1(+25%)
(13) Whizz Kid 3/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in Germany. Set stiff task on hurdling debut but has bolted up on better ground both subsequent starts. Might have been let in lightly and stable is red hot at the moment, so worth taking a chance on.
5th
5th (1) Faivoir (11/1 +21%)
Faivoir

11/1(+21%)
(1) Faivoir 11/1, Talented hurdler/chaser who wasn't seen to best effect in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time. This is a lesser race, so could make a better first of it if the race is run to suit.
6th
6th (17) Lively Citizen (8/1 +11%)
Lively Citizen

8/1(+11%)
(17) Lively Citizen 8/1, Likeable and consistent sort who comes here on the back of a cracking second in the Imperial Cup at Sandown last month. Bound to give another good account.
7th
7th (14) Thibault (50/1 -79%)
Thibault

50/1(-79%)
(14) Thibault 50/1, Fairly useful but exposed hurdler. Landed a weak event at Fontwell 10 days ago and looks vulnerable under a penalty for that.
8th
8th (6) Gipsy De Choisel (11/1 +8%)
Gipsy De Choisel

11/1(+8%)
(6) Gipsy De Choisel 11/1, Won big-field 4-y-o race in France in May and shaped encouragingly on a couple of his outings for new yard last season, still holding every chance when falling last at Ffos Las a year ago. Top yard should have him ready.
9th
9th (16) Just The Man (28/1 -12%)
Just The Man

28/1(-12%)
(16) Just The Man 28/1, Likeable type who was back to winning ways in smooth style at Ludlow 16 days ago. A well-run race in a big field is likely to play to his strengths, so he's not one to dismiss lightly.
10th
10th (3) Richmond Lake (5/1 +44%)
Richmond Lake

5/1(+44%)
(3) Richmond Lake 5/1, Useful novice who made most of a good opportunity to land hurdle win number 2 at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Has bettered that form since (second to Jonbon on penultimate outing), and was in the process of running well when coming down late at Kelso a month ago. Strong claims.
11th
11th (8) Marine One (80/1 -100%)
Marine One

80/1(-100%)
(8) Marine One 80/1, Irish import who won his first 3 starts for this yard but was last seen running poorly at Ffos Las 17 months ago. There's something to prove on return, but strength in the market would look significant.
12th
12th (7) Due Reward (80/1 -60%)
Due Reward

80/1(-60%)
(7) Due Reward 80/1, Useful hurdler/chaser on his day in Ireland but profile is rather hit and miss. Failed to beat a rival in 9-runer handicap chase at Newbury, but fitted with cheekpieces back over hurdles after a 4-month break.
|PU|
|PU| (10) Mandarin Monarch (33/1 -106%)
Mandarin Monarch

33/1(-106%)
(10) Mandarin Monarch 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler who returned from a lengthy absence to score readily at Navan a month ago. Hard to know if he'll back that up in a better race, though.
|PU|
|PU| (5) Albert's Back (33/1 -32%)
Albert's Back

33/1(-32%)
(5) Albert's Back 33/1, Useful sort who was right back on track at Wetherby a month ago and remains below his last winning mark despite a 2-lb rise. One to consider with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
|PU|
|PU| (15) Red Force One (100/1 -100%)
Red Force One

100/1(-100%)
(15) Red Force One 100/1, Fair hurdler at his best. Arrives fit from the Flat, but isn't in the form to make an impact in this.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Antey (150/1 -88%)
Antey

150/1(-88%)
(4) Antey 150/1, Useful at one time for Willie Mullins but has offered nothing over fences for current stable. Hard to fancy back in this discipline with cheekpieces applied.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
