12:40 Aintree (Class 3) 24f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/1 -38%) Ernest Gray	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Ernest Gray 11/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5½l in a 2m7f Worcester handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 3m but probably on a stiff enough mark. No match for unexposed winner when second at Worcester last time but might not be far away.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 -10%) Lipa K	11 11/1(-10%)	(9) Lipa K 11/1, Scored by 3/4l off 112 over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee two runs ago. Effective at 2½m but may not get a stiff 3m. Acts on soft and good ground and goes well at Bangor. Won at Bangor in September but loves it here; well beaten at Uttoxeter since.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -45%) Lihyan	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Lihyan 16/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front and ran to form when well beaten in a 2m7f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last time. Usually held up and returns from a break. Four wins under William Maggs but not at his best on last two starts in May/June.
4	8 4th (8) (18/5 +20%) Kikijo	3.6 18/5(+20%)	(8) Kikijo 18/5, Showed a good attitude to rally when having too much to do, relishing the longer trip and staying on for a length second off 121 over 2m6f at Newbury last time. Likely to stay 3m and is well treated on chase form. Promising start to chase career in February/March and lower mark to work with over hurdles.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 -23%) Pounding Poet	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) Pounding Poet 8/1, Scored by 1½l off 117 over 2m7f at Uttoxeter two runs ago. Up 5lb but well treated on old form; ran to form appreciating the longer trip when second, beaten a head off 122 last time. Trainer in form and returns from a short break. In good form in this visor in the summer and could be in the mix after a two-month break.
6th	12 6th (12) (7/2 +50%) Heather Honey	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(12) Heather Honey 7/2, Ran to form when down in trip and back from a break, just caught by race-fit rivals when beaten a length off 104 over 2m4f at Southwell. Effective at 2½m but ideally wants 3m; spring form strong and progressive, should come on for latest run. Three 2m7f wins in April-June and returned from break with close third over 2m4f recently.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -47%) Icare Allen	11 11/1(-47%)	(4) Icare Allen 11/1, Had too much to do when beaten 4l off 125 over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time. Remains well treated on old form, with the longer trip a plus, but unreliable. In good heart at Uttoxeter on his last two starts and goes well for Benjamin Macey.
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 +39%) My Bobby Dazzler	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(10) My Bobby Dazzler 17/2, Unseated at the start in a 2m7f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and best on a sound surface. Out of form this year but has dropped in the weights. Unable to threaten in first half of year and unseated rider at the start three weeks ago.
9th	11 9th (11) (40/1 -82%) Asa	40 40/1(-82%)	(11) Asa 40/1, Outpaced and in need of the run when well beaten in a 2m5f Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Progressive in the spring over 3m on good to soft ground over hurdles and fences, so could bounce back. Three staying wins last winter; may be of greater interest when the cheekpieces return.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 +50%) Pyramid Place	11 11/1(+50%)	(1) Pyramid Place 11/1, Outpaced and unsuited by how the race developed when comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time. Usually held up and has been out of form for some time. Nine-time hurdle winner but struggling earlier this year; has rejoined Harriet Dickin.
11th	7 11th (7) (100/1 -100%) The Jam Man	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) The Jam Man 100/1, Below form when down the field in a 2m3f Chepstow handicap hurdle last time. Acts on any ground, a former Troytown winner who stays 3m well, but needs to prove his ability remains. 12yo who has struggled on his three runs since returning from a long absence in August.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (9/2 -13%) Doc Mccoy	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Doc Mccoy 9/2, Travelled well and won readily when improving back down in trip to take a 2m5f Warwick handicap by 13l off 120. Enjoys making the running, effective from 2½m to 3m and steadily progressive. 5-11 over hurdles, easily last time; tougher task today but could continue to progress.

12:40 Aintree (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Doc McCoy won with ease in this grade at Warwick at the start of the month and may improve for this step up in trip, but a 7lb higher rating asks for a lot more. With that in mind, POUNDING POET gets the vote. Tom Lacey's charge was just touched off into second in a warmer event at Cartmel in August and has Cameron Iles negating his 3lb rise with his claim. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat. Ernest Gray completes the shortlist.

The lightly raced 6yo HEATHER HONEY won three in a row over 2m7f earlier in the year and she's the pick now up in trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +45%) Jordans Cross	3 3/1(+45%)	(4) Jordans Cross 3/1 Irish point winner; 1-2 over hurdles; makes chase/handicap debut with huge potential.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/8 +61%) Spadestep	1.375 11/8(+61%)	(6) Spadestep 11/8 Won Hexham novice hurdle this month; quickly switched to fences for this handicap debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +0%) Gentleman Bill	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Gentleman Bill 9/1 2-6 over hurdles; off since poor run in March but still a good chasing prospect.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 -82%) Tom Doniphon	5 5/1(-82%)	(3) Tom Doniphon 5/1 Dual 2m3f hurdle winner last winter; has enough zip to cope with 2m on chasing debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 -200%) Beau Quali	7.5 15/2(-200%)	(5) Beau Quali 15/2 Won a match on recent chase debut; this is tougher but at least we know he's in good nick.
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 -9%) All The Glory	12 12/1(-9%)	(1) All The Glory 12/1 Beaten in a match on chasing debut but is well handicapped on best hurdling form.

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

13:15 Aintree (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Beau Quali beat his sole rival on his chasing bow at Warwick last time and the application of first-time cheekpieces might bring out improvement. Even so, point-to-point winner SPADESTEP looks the way to go. The six-year-old struck by five lengths on his return to the fray over the smaller obstacles at Hexham earlier this month and could prove a different proposition over fences. An opening mark of 114 might be on the lenient side. All The Glory is another to note.

Free-going front-runner TOM DONIPHON should cope with today's drop back in trip and could take some catching if he jumps well.

13:50 Aintree (Class 2) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 -45%) Torn And Frayed	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) Torn And Frayed 4/1 Did well to finish third at Chepstow on reappearance given he made a bad mistake.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/3 +63%) Ashtown Lad	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(8) Ashtown Lad 10/3 Exploited much-reduced mark at Kelso and remains very well treated on old form.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 +72%) If Not For Dylan	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(7) If Not For Dylan 10/3 Ran well on final two starts last term; in the mix if reappearing in the same good form.
4	4 4th (4) (17/2 +6%) Straw Fan Jack	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(4) Straw Fan Jack 17/2 Made mistakes on reappearance, which he could improve for; possible player.
5th	1 5th (1) (3/1 +0%) Le Milos	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Le Milos 3/1 Won 2 veterans' races earlier this year; can play leading role if fully tuned up on return.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (16/1 -33%) Numitor	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Numitor 16/1 Very in and out last season but won three times and not ruled out on his reappearance.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (22/1 -214%) Marown	22 22/1(-214%)	(5) Marown 22/1 Winless since March 2021 but often runs well, including when fresh; on the shortlist.

13:50 Aintree (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It's difficult to ignore the claims of LE MILOS. Dan Skelton's veteran struck in comfortable style at this level at Fakenham when last seen and is just 3lb higher now. The son of Shirocco goes well fresh and it would be no surprise to see him put these to the sword. A shuddering mistake at the fourth-last cost Torn And Frayed any chance at Chepstow earlier this month but, with a smoother round, he ought to go close. Marown looks best of the rest.

The lack of a recent run is unlikely to be an issue for MAROWN, who has a good reappearance record. Le Milos is second choice.

1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +36%) Marsiac	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(7) Marsiac 9/2 Point runner-up for whom the step up in trip looks a positive move on second rules start.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +0%) Big Ticket	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Big Ticket 5/2 Changed hands for £155,000 after easy win in Irish maiden point; firmly in calculations.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/2 -18%) Tiddesley Wood	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(4) Tiddesley Wood 13/2 Caught the eye in January in the first of his two bumpers; interesting tackling hurdles.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 -25%) Jimmy Hurdstrom	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Jimmy Hurdstrom 5/1 Point winner who was runner-up on this month's hurdle debut and is open to improvement.

7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -213%) Arctic Conditions	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Arctic Conditions 50/1 Should have won a point on debut but well-beaten favourite in his sole bumper.

14:20 Aintree (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Having posted a respectable fourth on his hurdle bow at Uttoxeter earlier this month, Marsiac should put that experience to good use. The four-year-old cannot be dismissed, but it could be worth taking a punt on one of the newcomers to this discipline, with IN THE AGE topping the bill. Dan Skelton's charge wasn't disgraced when finishing third under a penalty at Southwell in Feburary and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Big Ticket and Tiddesley Wood are others of interest.

Having impressed on his debut in an Irish maiden point in May, £155,000 recruit BIG TICKET is taken to make a winning start under rules.

14:55 Aintree (Class 1) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/1 -50%) Hitman	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Hitman 9/1, From a yard that has won two of the last ten renewals. Below form when well beaten in the Oaksey Chase (Grade 2) over 2m7f at Sandown last time. On a good mark on best Graded form and looks a leading player on race times but battling qualities a big worry. Hard to win with but twice runner-up in this race and every chance he'll be bang there.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +14%) Master Chewy	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Master Chewy 3/1, Below form and outclassed when comfortably held in the Celebration Chase (Grade 1) over 1m7f at Sandown last time. Among the contenders off fair mark if stamina holds up but that is a concern Unproven at the trip but this 2m Grade 2 winner can play a leading role if seeing it out.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -13%) Minella Drama	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Minella Drama 9/1, Won this race last year but has been poor since was pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f here most recently. Probably best watched. He's run mighty races in this contest on his reappearance in each of the last two seasons.
4	4 4th (4) (11/4 +21%) Boombawn	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(4) Boombawn 11/4, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 9l in the Oaksey Chase (Grade 2) over 2m7f at Sandown last time. Previously in good form and a contender here on favourable good ground. Fourth in Grade 1 C&D novice in April and he's a strong candidate back here.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 +27%) Imperial Saint	2 2/1(+27%)	(6) Imperial Saint 2/1, Well backed and ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in the William Hill Handicap Chase over 3m1f here last time. Hugely progressive as a novice, loves the track and rates the pick on overall form. Excellent record here last term; this second-season chaser is open to further improvement.
6th	1 6th (1) (17/2 -31%) Ahoy Senor	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(1) Ahoy Senor 17/2, A dual Grade 1 winner who made mistakes and finished below form when comfortably held in the Brooklands Golden Miller Chronograph Bowl Chase over 3m1f here last time. He should've won this last year but was given a poor ride. The trainer is in form, and he likes to race prominently but appears regressive. Underwhelming in the main this season but has excellent record here and an attractive mark.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 +0%) Knockanore	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Knockanore 40/1, Below form off a stiff mark when down the field in the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown last time. Eider winner in spring who is likely to find this an inadequate test. Two wins last winter but 15lb out of the handicap for this reappearance.

14:55 Aintree (Class 1) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

IMPERIAL SAINT boasts an impressive record at this venue, with three victories out of four attempts here, and further glory could be imminent. The Saint Des Saints gelding was last seen finishing second over 3m1f at the Aintree Festival and reverting to 2m4f holds no fear. Boombawn finished a respectable fourth in the Manifesto over C&D in April and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Oaksey at Sandown. The eight-year-old could have a big say in proceedings reverting to handicap company and is feared most, ahead of dual Grade 2 winner Master Chewy.

The 10yo MINELLA DRAMA (nap) has reappeared in this race in each of the last two years, finishing second then first, and earns the vote.

1	4 1st (4) (7/4 +50%) Ace Of Spades	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(4) Ace Of Spades 7/4, Travelled well and conceded first run when running to form, beaten a head off 125 over 3m at Ayr last time; consistent at 2 1/2–3m on a sound surface and has a bit more to come this term. Drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but he's in excellent hands to progress further.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +33%) Moonbow	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Moonbow 4/1, Improved again when landing a handicap by 4l off 116 at Perth last time; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; progressive type. 2-2 in handicaps, both at Perth; this is tougher but he's clearly progressive.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +36%) Serious Operator	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(6) Serious Operator 9/2, Outpaced and needed the run when fourth, beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso last time; trainer in form and should come on for that reappearance; handicapper has relented. Hasn't threatened in 2025, following a year off, but could improve for recent reappearance.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 -20%) Serious Challenge	3 3/1(-20%)	(2) Serious Challenge 3/1, This yard has won the last three runnings of the race; had every chance when finishing fourth, beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Sandown last time; looks the pick on race times but stamina to prove. Three novice hurdle wins earlier this year and trainer has won the last three runnings.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -112%) The Gray Ghost	18 18/1(-112%)	(7) The Gray Ghost 18/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso last time; effective at 2 1/2m but looks on a stiff mark. Saddle slipped when soundly beaten on reappearance; lightly raced and retains potential.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 -25%) Bold Light	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Bold Light 10/1, The handicapper may have caught up after he was beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Perth last time; trainer in form and a consistent performer. Three wins last season and this lightly raced 8yo is open to further improvement this term.

15:30 Aintree (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Moonbow hasn't looked back since entering handicap company in August and merits respect in his bid to complete a hat-trick. However, a 10lb hike does demand another career-best performance from Patrick Neville's charge and SERIOUS CHALLENGE could be open to more improvement. Fergal O'Brien's inmate capped off last season with a decent fourth in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown and there should be more to come on just his second start in handicap company over hurdles. Ace Of Spades boasts a similar profile to the selection and completes the shortlist.

Fergal O'Brien has won the last three runnings of this race and 5yo SERIOUS CHALLENGE is a likely candidate to make it four in a row.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Dotties Promise supplemented a promising third-placed debut at Hexham when opening her account at Kelso last month. Although Susan Corbett's mare should give another bold bid, a 4lb penalty may leave her vulnerable, with preference for newcomer LADY MOTIVATOR. Dan Skelton won this prize with Elle Est Belle in 2020 and this filly boasts plenty of speed in her pedigree which will play to her strengths on a track of this nature. Market support for either Hey Flint or point-to-point winner Edith Pelham would be interesting.

A creditable sixth in a big field at Cheltenham in April, LADY DAPPLE ROSE may give Harriet Dickin her first bumper winner.

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.
