Guard Your Dreams

Ballyadam
2.75/1(+8%)

Decor Irlandais

Discorama
16/1(+11%)

8th
8th (21) Jett (80/1 +0%)
Jett
80/1(+0%)
(21) Jett 80/1, Another very good chaser at his best in Ireland but out of sorts. Took reasonably well to the course, albeit finished well beaten in the Becher in December, and leap of faith needed over this trip.

Cabaret Queen
80/1(+0%)
(29) Cabaret Queen 80/1, Smart staying mare, successful in the 2019 Munster National and 2020 Kerry National. Not so good more recently though, shaping as if amiss at Cheltenham, and yard has far stronger contenders.

Ami Desbois
100/1(+20%)

Lake View Lad

66/1(-32%)
(31) Canelo 66/1, Done well in handicap chases this season, winning at Aintree and Wetherby (3m) before good runs at Doncaster (fourth to Takingrisks in Sky Bet first occasion). Career-best needed even if he stays.
|F|
|F| (27) Vieux Lion Rouge (66/1 +0%)
Vieux Lion Rouge
66/1(+0%)

Magic Of Light

Chris's Dream

Yala Enki
40/1(+20%)
(3) Yala Enki 40/1, Tremendous stayer placed in the last 3 Welsh Nationals and won again at Taunton in January under Bryony Frost. Fell first only start over these fences in December but should last out with more luck.

33/1(+34%)
(20) Shattered Love 33/1, Cheltenham Festival winner in 2018 and successful again at Clonmel (20f, heavy) in November. Fair run in the Mares' Chase back at Cheltenham last month but stamina is a big concern for her here.

Alpha Des Obeaux
80/1(+0%)
(17) Alpha Des Obeaux 80/1, Formerly very smart, on a long losing run, but did show a bit more spark in the Cross Country won by stablemate Tiger Roll last month and fared well on second go over these fences in the 2019 Becher.

(37) Hogan's Height 100/1, Looked a natural over these fences when bolting up in the 2019 Grand Sefton and seen just 3 times since, tailed off in the Cross Country at Cheltenham last month. Stamina doubts and career-high mark.

Acapella Bourgeois
20/1(+29%)
(9) Acapella Bourgeois 20/1, Third to Burrows Saint in the 2019 Irish National and has won a good prep for this at Fairyhouse the last 2 years, giving weight and seeing off his less-exposed stablemate 6 weeks ago. Likeable.

Sub Lieutenant
50/1(+0%)
(36) Sub Lieutenant 50/1, Fair efforts for new yard under Tabitha Worsley at Ascot last twice and took to the course well when a staying-on second in the 2019 Topham off 9 lb higher. 4m+ an unknown but far worse 100/1 shots.

15th (24) Class Conti (66/1 -65%)
Class Conti
66/1(-65%)
(24) Class Conti 66/1, Patchy profile since starting out for Mullins with Tramore win 2 years ago. Good efforts in the mud in top handicaps the last twice though, and not surprising were he to be plugging on at the finish.
|PU|
|PU| (28) Cloth Cap (5.5/1 +0%)
Cloth Cap
5.5/1(+0%)
(28) Cloth Cap 5.5/1, Big improver this season with cheekpieces fitted, making all in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury and listed race at Kelso the last twice. Proven stayer who ticks every box and a very worthy favourite.

Mister Malarky
12/1(+52%)
(13) Mister Malarky 12/1, Very good on his day, successful in well-run 3m Ascot handicap in December, and ran well after a wind op at Kempton 6 weeks ago. Type to relish this test and may sneak under the radar. Tongue tie on.

Takingrisks
14/1(+36%)
(19) Takingrisks 14/1, Boasts a remarkable haul of big handicap successes for a 12-y-o and beat Cloth Cap in the 2019 Scottish National. Triumphed again in the Sky Bet at Doncaster in January. Worse risks to take.

Kimberlite Candy
20/1(-25%)
(14) Kimberlite Candy 20/1, Second in last 2 runnings of the Becher with a wide-margin victory in the Classic Chase at Warwick in between. Long been in the notebook for this, crying out for another crack over 4m+. Player.

Potters Corner
22/1(+12%)
(23) Potters Corner 22/1, Thorough stayer flying the flag for Wales. Won the 2019 Midlands National and Welsh National in the mud. Inadequate tests this term and not badly handicapped in new headgear. Could go well.

Bristol De Mai
25/1(+11%)
(1) Bristol De Mai 25/1, Popular grey who won the Betfair Chase for a third time in 4 years in November and ran well behind Native River at Sandown 9 weeks ago. Jumping is a lot better now and this scenario could be perfect.
|PU|
|PU| (12) Anibale Fly (28/1 +0%)
Anibale Fly
28/1(+0%)
(12) Anibale Fly 28/1, Fourth and fifth in the last 2 Nationals. Looked rusty after a year off behind Acapella Bourgeois and Burrows Saint at Fairyhouse and been given a big chance in the weights if finding his spark again.

Definitly Red
28/1(+44%)
(5) Definitly Red 28/1, Saddle slipped early when fancied for this in 2017 and 9 lb higher having enjoyed lots of success since. Now 12 and suspect his best chance has gone for all he may have needed last month's return.
|PU|
|PU| (33) Give Me A Copper (33/1 +34%)
Give Me A Copper
33/1(+34%)
(33) Give Me A Copper 33/1, Lightly-raced but smart staying chaser, another fine run first time up when second at Doncaster (3m) in December. Not so good in the Sky Bet back there following month though and hard to fancy now.
|PU|
|PU| (10) Talkischeap (33/1 +50%)
Talkischeap
33/1(+50%)
(10) Talkischeap 33/1, Lightly raced since his bet365 Gold Cup romp on good ground at Sandown 2 years ago, but that remains his only try at a marathon trip and he could be set for a big run if the fire still lingers.
|PU|
|PU| (22) Lord Du Mesnil (50/1 -25%)
Lord Du Mesnil
50/1(-25%)
(22) Lord Du Mesnil 50/1, All stamina, second in the NH Chase at Cheltenham last year and resuming winning ways at Haydock in the mud 7 weeks ago. Jumping was mixed in the Grand Sefton here in December but wouldn't dismiss.

Milan Native
50/1(-25%)
(25) Milan Native 50/1, Won last year's Kim Muir at Cheltenham and successful again on return at Galway. Not been plain-sailing since though, well held back at the Festival after wind op. Needs a revival from somewhere.
|PU|
|PU| (32) The Long Mile (66/1 +18%)
The Long Mile
66/1(+18%)
(32) The Long Mile 66/1, Good strike rate over fences initially, winning at Limerick in December. Chased home Acapella Bourgeois and Burrows Saint at Fairyhouse latest, proving stamina beyond 3m, but easy to prefer that pair.
|PU|
|PU| (18) Ok Corral (80/1 +0%)
Ok Corral
80/1(+0%)
(18) Ok Corral 80/1, Low-mileage 11-y-o with all-or-nothing profile over fences, successful in 2020 Sky Bet at Doncaster under this rider but showing little and finishing lame on first run since at Cheltenham 25 days ago.

Tout Est Permis
100/1(+20%)
(11) Tout Est Permis 100/1, A while since the grey's last win and he's looked a fading force of late, falling at Down Royal 3 weeks ago. Not sure to stay (wilted in 2019 Irish National) and tricky to fancy.

Knappers Hill

(10) Knappers Hill 8/1, Expensive, well-bred sort who looks an exciting prospect having maintained his unbeaten record in cosy fashion at Ascot in December, beating Stage Star. Primed for a big run again.

Peking Rose
50/1(-25%)

Stage Star
22/1(-83%)
(16) Stage Star 22/1, Fame And Glory gelding who forged away from a next-time-out winner when landing Chepstow event first time out. Runner-up to Knappers Hill since and will do well to reverse placings.

Balco Coastal
1.88/1(+6%)
(1) Balco Coastal 1.88/1, Runner-up sole start in point and looked something out of the ordinary when powering away to justify short odds in Kempton bumper a couple of months ago. Clearly the one to beat.
8th
8th (13) Parramount (33/1 +0%)
Parramount
33/1(+0%)
(13) Parramount 33/1, Half-brother to Snow Leopardess and built on two encouraging efforts when landing a bumper at Stratford 26 days ago. Likely to be outclassed up in grade, though.

Charlie's Glance
14/1(+22%)
(3) Charlie's Glance 14/1, Brother to 4 winners and made the ideal start when landing a 14-runner contest at Newbury 35 days ago. No reason why he won't improve from that, so one to consider.

Fruit N Nut
40/1(-43%)
(6) Fruit N Nut 40/1, Runner-up in points who is unbeaten in two outings in bumpers, well on top at the finish at Catterick on latest. This is a whole different proposition, though.

Super Six
10/1(+29%)
(20) Super Six 10/1, Landed his first two starts then upped his game to finish an excellent fifth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, doing some good late work. Slightly longer trip is in his favour.

Pressure Sensitive
40/1(-43%)
(15) Pressure Sensitive 40/1, Shirrocco gelding who took his record to 2-2 at Wetherby 52 days ago, comfortably quickening clear. This level of competition is probably beyond him, though.

Sure Touch
40/1(-60%)
(17) Sure Touch 40/1, Bred to do well in bumpers and made no mistake when scoring at Wincanton first time out. This is obviously much tougher, but there could be significant improvement in him.

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.
