1st (4)  (9/1 +10%)El Poppochapo |
9/1(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) El Poppochapo 9/1, Down the field in handful of bumper starts and bit of promise on 2 of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles in recent months. Cheekpieces go on now but handicaps entitled to be more her bag moving forward. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.2/1 +13%)Champagnesocialist |
1.2/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Champagnesocialist 1.2/1, Wide-margin bumper winner and bright start over hurdles when runner-up in a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (20.3f) in October. Strictly below that level when filling same spot at Sedgefield since but she's very much a player in this line up. | |||
3rd (7)  (6.5/1 -8%)Our Pink Lady |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Our Pink Lady 6.5/1, Westerner filly who did shape better than in bumpers when third in a Catterick maiden (19.3f) on hurdling debut 6 weeks ago. In good hands and possible she can build on that here. | |||
4th (2)  (80/1 +0%)Bowland Belle |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bowland Belle 80/1, Boasts a decent jumps pedigree and she showed ability when midfield in 9-runner Wetherby bumper in November. Pulled up on hurdles bow at that venue on Boxing Day though, and likely one for later on in this sphere. | |||
5th (5)  (150/1 -50%)Nairobi Girl |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nairobi Girl 150/1, Point bumper winner but hasn't made any impact under Rules to date, pulled over hurdles at Sedgefield 38 days ago. Can only be watched with cheekpieces now fitted. | |||
6th (6)  (50/1 +0%)Not In Kansas |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Not In Kansas 50/1, Gentlewave mare. Dam (h80) maiden hurdler. Tongue tied, ran to just a poor level when sixth of 10 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) on NH debut in May. Hurdles debut. | |||
|F| (1)  (1.5/1 -20%)Aubis Walk |
1.5/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aubis Walk 1.5/1, Fetched £120,000 on the back of an Irish point win and promise in finishing runner-up both starts in mares' novice hurdles 8 months apart, collared dying strides at Kelso (20.9f) 5 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and shortlisted here. |

1st (1)  (2.75/1 -22%)Horacio Apple's |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Horacio Apple's 2.75/1, Fair form in bumpers and when third in novice hurdles at Carlisle and Bangor this winter, still looking inexperienced. Looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so rates a player. | |||
2nd (7)  (2.75/1 +61%)Economic Editor |
2.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Economic Editor 2.75/1, Remains a maiden in this sphere and only eighth of 19 in handicap at Wetherby (24.1f) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with more required. | |||
3rd (6)  (7/1 +42%)Moonacura |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moonacura 7/1, Appeared to take a step forward when third in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap in February but nowhere near that level in 3 subsequent starts, jumping poorly here on his return. | |||
4th (3)  (9/1 -20%)Lewa House |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lewa House 9/1, Dug deep to land a big-field handicap at Hexham in November but only sixth in 22f Kelso handicap last time. Sort to bounce back. | |||
5th (8)  (7/1 +13%)September Daisy |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) September Daisy 7/1, Not disgraced on both runs for her new yard this term, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) 46 days ago. Not ruled out in her bid for a maiden success despite being 5 lb out of the handicap. | |||
6th (9)  (40/1 -21%)New Zealander |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) New Zealander 40/1, Long-standing maiden hurlder who came in well held on her chase debut at Musselburgh 8 days ago. Hard to warm to from 6 lb out of the handicap. | |||
7th (2)  (22/1 -238%)Dot Cotton |
22/1(-238%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dot Cotton 22/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden. Hinted at a revival when third of 9 in 2m handicap here 18 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs considering now her stamina is drawn out more. | |||
8th (5)  (6/1 -50%)Your Place |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Your Place 6/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 7/1 and visored for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) 46 days ago. Others remain more persuasive, however. | |||
9th (4)  (14/1 -40%)Wotsmyname |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wotsmyname 14/1, Still a maiden and he went backwards from his reappearance/stable debut when twelfth of 17 in handicap here (20.4f) 7 days ago. Needs to get back on track. |

1st (4)  (6/1 +8%)Netywell |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Netywell 6/1, Promising novice hurdler last season but disappointed in 2 chases in November and fared little better back hurdling at Wetherby over Christmas. Has something to prove for now. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.5/1 +29%)Champ De Gane |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Champ De Gane 2.5/1, Irish raider who was capable of fair form over hurdles but only made it to fifth fence (unseated rider) on Down Royal chase debut 14 days ago. Goes handicapping now. | |||
3rd (5)  (7/1 +56%)Duty Calls |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Duty Calls 7/1, Dual point winner who opened his account under Rules at the eleventh attempt in a 17f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February. Back to that sort of level when third of 12 in 21f Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Yet to convince over fences, though. | |||
|F| (3)  (2.75/1 -22%)Paddy The Horse |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Paddy The Horse 2.75/1, Won maiden and handicap hurdles at Hexham in the autumn. A point success at the start of his career provides hope that he'll take to fences. Respected. | |||
|PU| (1)  (2.75/1 -69%)Masked Crusader |
2.75/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Masked Crusader 2.75/1, Landed a pair of novice hurdles for this yard last season. Could only manage fourth on his Catterick chase debut but almost certainly would have won at Musselburgh since but for unseating at the last. Tends to only do the bare mimimum and could benefit from first-time cheekpieces. |

1st (1)  (2.5/1 -67%)Rocco Storm |
2.5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rocco Storm 2.5/1, Eased in weights and duly capitalised to land back-to-back handicaps at Hexham/Sedgefield in recent months. Good second from much-inflated mark at the latter venue (19.3f) last time and he has to be of interest again back down in trip. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 -15%)Coolmoyne |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Coolmoyne 7.5/1, Best effort when third on second chase start at Hexham last spring. Hinted that he could be working his way back to form when fourth in a 10-runner Newcastle handicap (16.3f) a fortnight ago and each-way chance off 3 lb lower here if able to build on that. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.5/1 +42%)Broomfields Kan |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Broomfields Kan 3.5/1, Back to his best when runner-up over 20.5f here last February and not disgraced on 2 of his next 3 starts. No impact on return at Wetherby but probably needed that following 8 months off and worth a second look with cheekpieces refitted. | |||
4th (10)  (22/1 +12%)Zihuatanejo |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Zihuatanejo 22/1, Presumably fragile given his sporadic appearances and has shown little spark in 3 starts under Rules (all over hurdles). Possible that this former point winner will be seen in a better light now switched to fences but looks risky. | |||
5th (11)  (12/1 -71%)Andre Le Notre |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Andre Le Notre 12/1, Signs of ability on debut in a Musselburgh bumper last February but offered precious little in 3 subsequent starts over hurdles. Sizeable step forward needed now sent chasing. | |||
6th (9)  (22/1 +0%)Roxyfet |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Roxyfet 22/1, Veteran campaigner who capitalised on much-reduced mark to regain winning thread at Hexham last season, narrowly getting the better of re-opposing stablemate Bandit d'Ainay. Both subsequent efforts have been poor, though. | |||
7th (7)  (10/1 +44%)Choix Des Armes |
10/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Choix Des Armes 10/1, Winning hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2018 who came good over fences for this yard in a 2m Wetherby novice handicap last March. Not the most sure-footed of jumpers, though, and got no further than the first fence on recent reappearance at Newcastle. | |||
8th (8)  (16/1 -14%)Bandit D'Ainay |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bandit D'Ainay 16/1, Four-time winner over fences in France and posted best effort on these shores to date when runner-up over a similar trip to this at Hexham last spring. However, has failed by some way to reproduce that form since and now tried in a tongue strap. | |||
9th (3)  (16/1 -33%)Hollybank King |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hollybank King 16/1, Did pretty well last season, opening his Rules account in a Thurles handicap chase and runner-up on 3 occasions. Conversely, he hasn't shown much in 3 runs so far this time round and it's probably best to look elsewhere. | |||
|PU| (2)  (4.5/1 +36%)Ardera Cross |
4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ardera Cross 4.5/1, Won 2 on the bounce over C&D last winter, including this corresponding race, and returned to form when going close in a 20.5f handicap here in November. However, followed that with a rather tame display (again at this course) and he's opposable on balance. |

1st (2)  (2.5/1 +58%)Fia Fuinidh |
2.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fia Fuinidh 2.5/1, Placed on the second of 2 outings in Irish points and showed improved form over hurdles when third of 14 in a 2m Ayr maiden last month. Unexposed now switching to handicaps. | |||
2nd (8)  (6/1 +73%)Eden Mill |
6/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Eden Mill 6/1, Only poor form in bumpers/over hurdles, including 2½m Newcastle handicap debut on Boxing Day. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.75/1 +17%)Hashtag Lord |
2.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hashtag Lord 2.75/1, Placed in maiden hurdles at Newcastle in recent months, albeit beaten a fair way. His opening mark isn't obviously generous based on those efforts but he has Brian Hughes up and the stable won the race last year. | |||
4th (6)  (25/1 +0%)Kinnegad Lad |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kinnegad Lad 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Down the field at Down Royal when last seen in November and this Irish raider is hard to make a good case for. | |||
5th (7)  (6.5/1 -63%)Agilulf |
6.5/1(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Agilulf 6.5/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat. Third in a pair of 2m Catterick juveniles in November and interesting now making a quick switch to handicap company. | |||
6th (4)  (5/1 +58%)Fathers Advice |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fathers Advice 5/1, Still looking for first success and isn't obviously closing in on it based on his recent efforts. Has a tongue tie refitted back from a short break. Yard has been quiet but did have a few run well here last week. | |||
7th (9)  (33/1 +0%)Tarquin Stardust |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tarquin Stardust 33/1, Shaped as if better for the run in a Wetherby bumper on debut in February but has shown little in 3 maiden/novice hurdles since. Tongue tie added now. Clearly more chance now handicapping at a low level but would need to see market support to consider. | |||
|PU| (5)  (11/1 +39%)Fortcanyon |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fortcanyon 11/1, Ran to fair level when fourth in Newcastle maiden last December but he's failed to make an impact in 3 subsequent starts (all at Kelso). Others are more obvious. |

1st (6)  (4.5/1 -64%)Esprit Du Potier |
4.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Esprit Du Potier 4.5/1, Montmartre gelding. Offered something to work on when second in 6-runner C&D bumper on debut 6 weeks ago, under pressure early but sticking well to his task. | |||
2nd (1)  (8/1 -129%)Chance The Robin |
8/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chance The Robin 8/1, £31,000 4-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Snoopy Loopy and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Adams. Runner-up sole start in points (Dec 2021). Interesting Rules debutant. | |||
3rd (2)  (0.91/1 +60%)Isenay |
0.91/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Isenay 0.91/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Friendless in betting but definite promise to glean from his fifth in 15-runner Punchestown bumper on NH debut back in April. Very much the type to do better and well worth a second look. | |||
4th (3)  (3.5/1 +0%)Lucky Soldier |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lucky Soldier 3.5/1, £42,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Ridden patiently but noted strong at the finish when runner-up in a C&D bumper on debut in October. A repeat should see him thereabouts. | |||
5th (5)  (14/1 +22%)Lunar Glow |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lunar Glow 14/1, Pether's Moon mare who has stamina in her pedigree and has shaped in kind without posing a win threat in a couple of bumpers at up to 17f this winter. May do better when tackling further over hurdles. | |||
6th (4)  (28/1 +15%)Bollin Matilda |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bollin Matilda 28/1, Yorgunnabelucky mare. Dam (h81), 2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Multellie. Likely best watched on debut. |

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.
