1st (5)  (28/1 -100%)Escapeandevade |
28/1(-100%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Escapeandevade 28/1, €40,000 3-y-o, £23,000 5-y-o by Westerner. Off the mark in points at sixth attempt last time (Dec 5). | |||
2nd (7)  (80/1 -60%)Lord Roco |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lord Roco 80/1, Green in bumpers and never a threat on hurdles bow. | |||
3rd (8)  (14/1 +58%)Tough Out |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tough Out 14/1, Tough As Nails gelding. Dam ran once on Flat in France. Maiden Irish pointer, third last time. | |||
4th (3)  (1.2/1 -140%)Captain Biggles |
1.2/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Biggles 1.2/1, Well held sole start in bumpers but showed plenty of ability in finishing runner-up all 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles last winter. Occupied same spot on handicap bow/return. Sets clear standard. | |||
5th (4)  (5/1 +23%)Domandlouis |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Domandlouis 5/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and looked badly in need of the experience in a Kelso bumper on debut in May. Never nearer on hurdles bow at Ayr on return and step up in trip will suit. | |||
6th (1)  (40/1 +77%)Bannside |
40/1(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bannside 40/1, Well held in bumper/hurdles bow. | |||

1st (8)  (1.5/1 +45%)Goodtimes Badtimes |
1.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Goodtimes Badtimes 1.5/1, Hasn't had much racing and produced his best effort to date when second at Newcastle last time, albeit again not finding much. Doesn't appear to be the most resolute, but cheekpieces could help. | |||
2nd (1)  (28/1 -40%)The Jad Factor |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Jad Factor 28/1, Promising return when fourth in a novice hurdle at Kelso but has failed to build on it since, a disappointing eighth at Kelso on handicap debut 28 days ago. Bit to prove. | |||
3rd (12)  (12/1 -9%)Silk Or Scarlet |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Silk Or Scarlet 12/1, Winner at Perth in May but has underperformed on both of his recent outings. Should be fully tuned up now, so no excuses. | |||
4th (3)  (40/1 -400%)Wotsmyname |
40/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wotsmyname 40/1, Well held in bumpers (in Ireland) and similar story so far over hurdles for new yard. Hard to fancy on handicap bow. | |||
5th (15)  (18/1 -112%)African Glory |
18/1(-112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) African Glory 18/1, Poor maiden handicap hurdler who unseated at Newcastle 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for on the balance of form. | |||
6th (7)  (18/1 -64%)Your Place |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Your Place 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden who took a step in the right direction when fourth in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Claims in a weak race if she can build on that. | |||
7th (16)  (33/1 +0%)Economic Editor |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Economic Editor 33/1, Limited impact in points and no encouragement over hurdles as yet. Longer trip and tongue tie could spark some improvement now handicapping. | |||
8th (5)  (3.5/1 +0%)Golan Cloud |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Golan Cloud 3.5/1, 3/1, good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 46 days ago, shaping as if he'd strip fitter for the run. Likely to be spot on now, so boasts leading claims down in grade. | |||
9th (9)  (28/1 -27%)Rainy City |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rainy City 28/1, Untrustworthy individual who has no worthwhile form since 2019. Others make more appeal. | |||
10th (10)  (66/1 -100%)Dunnottar Castle |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dunnottar Castle 66/1, Modest in bumpers but hasn't shown enough over hurdles to make him of interest in this. | |||
11th (11)  (66/1 -100%)Kinerton Hill |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Kinerton Hill 66/1, Has looked poor in a handful of starts to date, including a handicap at Hexham 7 months ago. Step up in trip might help but, on balance, he's hard to fancy on reappearance. | |||
12th (13)  (25/1 -14%)Famous Moment |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Famous Moment 25/1, €125,000 as 3-y-o but hasn't gone with a great deal of promise under Rules so far, and he's been off for 7 months prior to this return. | |||
|PU| (4)  (8/1 +20%)Coral Blue |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Coral Blue 8/1, Sole success came in 2019 and this season's efforts have offered little encouragement. | |||
|PU| (6)  (22/1 -38%)Moonacura |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moonacura 22/1, Good start when third in a big-field 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran in March but laboured performances on both outings for current stable. Tongue tie now fitted for handicap debut. |

(1)  (300/1 -50%)Chinese Spirit |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chinese Spirit 300/1, Modest Flat winner who pulled too hard in a novice at Ayr on his first go in this discipline. Hard to warm to. | |||
1st (7)  (6/1 -50%)Livelifetothemax |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Livelifetothemax 6/1, Showed a bit in Perth bumper and stepped forward from his hurdling debut when runner-up over this C&D just under 5 weeks ago. Repeat of that puts him firmly in the picture. | |||
2nd (8)  (16/1 -14%)Netywell |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Netywell 16/1, Showed a fair bit to work on when fourth of 10 a Kelso bumper and similar story sent hurdling at Perth back in September, a late error halting a promising forward move. Can build on that here. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.75/1 +21%)Fabuleux Du Clos |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fabuleux Du Clos 2.75/1, Just modest form at best in 4 bumpers, but showed plenty to work on switched to hurdling after 11 months off when runner-up at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, left with too much to do. Should improve. | |||
5th (5)  (18/1 +18%)Ginger Mail |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ginger Mail 18/1, Half-brother to yard's useful hurdler/chaser Elvis Mail. Made a solid start to his career when second at Musselburgh but failed to kick on from that a month later. Makes hurdles bow. | |||
6th (10)  (1.75/1 +50%)Rowdy Rustler |
1.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rowdy Rustler 1.75/1, Irish point winner. Had wind op prior to hurdling debut and has offered something to work on on both outings, runner-up at Kelso 4 weeks ago. The third that day has won since so he's much respected. | |||
7th (4)  (80/1 +20%)Fathers Advice |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fathers Advice 80/1, Showed promise on first start in bumper but failed to build on that when well held 6 months later. Tongue tied but no encouragement on hurdles bow 5 weeks ago so easy to look elsewhere. | |||
8th (2)  (300/1 -355%)Ever Ready Eddie |
300/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ever Ready Eddie 300/1, Ocovango gelding who failed to beat a rival on a couple of outings in bumpers recently. Makes little appeal on hurdles bow. | |||
9th (12)  (300/1 -50%)Nordic Express |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Nordic Express 300/1, Well held in 2 bumpers at the start of the summer and tailed off on hurdles bow over C&D 6 weeks ago. Faces another struggle. | |||
|U| (6)  (14/1 -155%)Kingfisher Lane |
14/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kingfisher Lane 14/1, Promise in bumpers but failed to complete on hurdling debut at Newcastle 15 days ago, unseating rider fifth. | |||
10th (11)  (300/1 -50%)Miss Valentine |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Miss Valentine 300/1, Minimal promise in a pair of C&D bumpers so tough to fancy on this switch to hurdling. |

1st (2)  (4/1 +20%)Seemorelights |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Seemorelights 4/1, Fairly useful 3m hurdler who showed definite promise initially over fences last term. Likely first start for 8 months was needed over C&D in November and his mark has eased further. Cheekpieces on. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.5/1 -142%)Crack Du Ninian |
1.5/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Crack Du Ninian 1.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who has quickly reached a higher level over fences, landing handicaps at Sedgefield/Hexham in recent months. Up further 4 lb but highly likely there's more to come. Big player. | |||
3rd (3)  (7.5/1 +63%)Got Trumped |
7.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Got Trumped 7.5/1, Ended time for Jessica Harrington out of sorts but seemingly regaining full fitness gradually in a couple of spins over hurdles for new yard. Worth noting if market vibes are positive back chasing. | |||
4th (6)  (3.2/1 +36%)Ardera Cross |
3.2/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ardera Cross 3.2/1, Fair handicap chaser who won 3 times here last season. Essentially just ticking over in recent months but latest hurdles fourth was a creditable display. Claims of hitting the frame. | |||
5th (5)  (9/1 +10%)Ard Chros |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ard Chros 9/1, More miss than hit since his Carlisle success 14 months ago, failing to come on for his comeback effort when last of 6 at Newcastle (20f) 2 weeks ago. | |||
6th (4)  (16/1 +36%)Victory Echo |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Victory Echo 16/1, Would have every chance off this mark if reproducing the form of his second here (20.5f) in May but he has struggled in 4 runs since, including when distant second at Wetherby (3m) in November. |

1st (7)  (3/1 +0%)Wakool |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wakool 3/1, Made it 3-4 this season when comfortably seeing off the reopposing One Night in Milan at Musselburgh last month. 10 lb rise demands more but still much respected in his current mood. | |||
2nd (5)  (5/1 +9%)Storm Nelson |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Storm Nelson 5/1, Much improved when racking up a quick hat-trick in handicap hurdles for this yard in the spring. Probably needed run when well held on Aintree return and may fare better this time. | |||
3rd (8)  (18/1 +18%)Eternally Yours |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Eternally Yours 18/1, Lightly raced in recent years and she was never involved on her Carlisle reappearance at the end of October. Steps up to 3m for the first time now. | |||
4th (9)  (7.5/1 +0%)Flower Of Scotland |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Flower Of Scotland 7.5/1, Came good in a mares' novice chase at Kelso in March and repeated the trick when switched back to hurdles there last month. Should have a part to play on first handicap start in this sphere. | |||
5th (1)  (5.5/1 +31%)Captain Zebo |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Zebo 5.5/1, Very useful handicapper who has done most of his racing for this yard at Carlisle. In front when making a hash of last there last month so the handicapper might have been generous dropping him 2 lb. | |||
6th (3)  (3.33/1 +5%)Wowsham |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wowsham 3.33/1, Opened his account in maiden hurdle at Perth in May. Better form in defeat since returning to action, finishing in front of reopposing Captain Zebo when second at Carlisle (25f) 3 weeks ago. Go well. | |||
7th (6)  (28/1 -100%)No Hiding Place |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) No Hiding Place 28/1, Won a Carlisle handicap last winter but absent since a jumpers' bumper run at Newcastle in February. Perhaps best watched. | |||
8th (2)  (10/1 -25%)One Night In Milan |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) One Night In Milan 10/1, Back from the Flat with good efforts at Wetherby and Musselburgh (second to reopposing Wakool) in recent months. Ought to be competitive again. | |||
|PU| (4)  (20/1 -122%)Hold The Note |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hold The Note 20/1, Novice hurdle winner who has shown useful form over fences since without winning. Has his first outing for 8 months/since leaving Mick Channon. Betting should guide. |

1st (4)  (11/1 -29%)If Not For Dylan |
11/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) If Not For Dylan 11/1, Still a maiden, and he jumped sketchily when last of 7 in 2m handicap chase here 41 days ago. Back up in trip with hood on and work to do. | |||
2nd (7)  (1.25/1 +38%)Destiny Is All |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Destiny Is All 1.25/1, Off 17 months before good second of 10 in handicap chase over C&D 34 days ago. Form has been franked, so he's well in the mix despite 3 lb rise. | |||
3rd (1)  (6.5/1 +13%)Better Getalong |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Better Getalong 6.5/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2018, and veteran finished lame when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Newcastle (20.1f) 36 days ago. Shortlisted if none the worse for that effort. | |||
4th (5)  (12/1 -50%)Dora De Janeiro |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dora De Janeiro 12/1, Dual hurdles winner who was running a good first race over fences when falling 11th in 22f handicap at Musselburgh last month. No forlorn hope. | |||
5th (2)  (14/1 -75%)Mustang Alpha |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mustang Alpha 14/1, Went backwards from his reappearance when only seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f) 47 days ago. Makes chase debut now with a bit to prove. | |||
6th (3)  (2.5/1 +9%)Upandatit |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Upandatit 2.5/1, Still to get his head in front, although he failed to stay 3m when second of 5 in handicap chase at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Weighted to go well now back to his optimum trip. |

2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) She'sasupermack 2/1, Useful chaser who returned to this sphere with an encouraging effort over C&D, closing in second when falling 2 out. Should go well if that incident hasn't left a mark. | |||
2nd (5)  (8/1 +20%)Strong Economy |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Strong Economy 8/1, Dual winner in the mud here last season. Creditable fourth on Carlisle return, but subsequent efforts have been tame. | |||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +17%)Theatre World |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Theatre World 5/1, Fairly useful handicap chaser who was all out having arguably raced on the best ground (out wide) at Galway 70 days ago. Likely to have been well prepped for this, so not ruled out. | |||
4th (1)  (2.5/1 -25%)Clan Legend |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clan Legend 2.5/1, Likeable veteran who landed an Aintree handicap (for the second year running) in gutsy fashion last time. Although up in the weights, this is less competitive, so another bold showing is on the cards. |

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.
