6/1(-182%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Porfin 6/1, Turned out again quickly when respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, hampered. Unlucky not to win at Lingfield on penultimate outing and is shortlisted from this mark. | |||

2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Secret Handsheikh 2.5/1, Best effort this season when third in apprentices event at Newbury at the end of June but was bit below form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 8/1) 13 days ago. Every chance if back to best. | |||

4.5/1(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Minhaaj 4.5/1, On long losing run but ran respectably when fourth of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Should be in the mix from easing mark. | |||

3.33/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whistle And Flute 3.33/1, Created a fine impression when winning at Bath and good second under a penalty at Ascot. Sets a clear standard on those efforts but he's been well beaten all 3 starts since. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.5/1 -25%)Betweenthesticks |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Betweenthesticks 2.5/1, Fairly useful form. 5/1, creditable third of 10 in novice at Kempton (7f) in June, but last of 6 in nursery (10/1) at Chester (7f, good to firm) following month (visored). Good chance if bouncing back. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.88/1 +46%)Gottaifan |
1.88/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gottaifan 1.88/1, 22/1, showed a bit when fifth of 9 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, good) on debut. but below that level at Southwell (9/2, firm) a week ago. Needs to take a big step forward. | |||

1.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pink Crystal 1.75/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 2/1) 14 days ago. Likely to get a strong pace to aim at and has to be taken seriously. | |||
2nd (2)  (16/1 -113%)Impeach |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Impeach 16/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Very good nose second of 10 to Recon Mission in handicap (14/1) at Sandown (5f, good) 15 days ago, sticking to task. Can make presence felt with stiff finish likely to suit. | |||
3rd (8)  (16/1 +43%)Batchelor Boy |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Batchelor Boy 16/1, Three-time course winner, most recently over 7f in in April. Seventh of 8 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f, good) 45 days ago. Something to find on form despite good record here. | |||
4th (11)  (25/1 -178%)Evasive Power |
25/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Evasive Power 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Third of 5 in handicap (6/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, firm) 22 days ago. Should be better suited by this longer trip but must improve to overcome wide draw. | |||
5th (4)  (10/1 +29%)Smeaton's Light |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Smeaton's Light 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Runner-up twice this term but wasn't at his best when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Holds form claims but wide draw not ideal. | |||
6th (6)  (8.5/1 +15%)Michaels Choice |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Michaels Choice 8.5/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, both over 6f at Salisbury. Produced a career best when scoring there 13 days ago and can't be ruled out from 4 lb higher. | |||
7th (1)  (7/1 -8%)Recon Mission |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Recon Mission 7/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago by nose from Impeach, finding extra. Consistency not particularly his strong point but considered if in same form. | |||
8th (3)  (2.75/1 +50%)Sir Oliver |

16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Endowed 16/1, Second in this corresponding race before winning over C&D on next start in 2021. Well below best last 2 starts and needs to bounce back, | |||
10th (10)  (50/1 -25%)Bobby On The Beat |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Bobby On The Beat 50/1, Productive on AW over the winter but ran poorly on return to turf when last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. | |||
11th (12)  (50/1 -150%)Doc Sportello |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Doc Sportello 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May and ran well when third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 59 days ago, despite being badly hampered. Wide draw not ideal in tougher race, though. |

2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shalfa 2.5/1, Ran one of her better races in first-time blinkers when second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 10 days ago, edged out final 50 yds. Could well be up to opening her account today with a talented 3 lb claimer taking over. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -9%)Whistledown |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whistledown 3/1, 10/1, returned to form dropped in grade when winning 9-runner handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Carries penalty, and her challenge is to back that up here. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.33/1 +5%)Ravi Road |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ravi Road 3.33/1, Ran creditably but had her work cut out with an improver when second of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Fancied to be in the mix once again. | |||
4th (4)  (4.5/1 +44%)Doolily |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Doolily 4.5/1, Finished runner-up 3 times at 2 but not so good this term, last of 6 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 10/1) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere despite the handicapper relinquishing his grip. | |||
5th (2)  (20/1 +20%)Measured Moments |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Measured Moments 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held up in trip after 6 months off in 1m handicap at Kempton (40/1) last month. Improvement required now switched to the turf. | |||
6th (6)  (7/1 -8%)Gun Dog |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gun Dog 7/1, 13/2, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) 25 days ago, weakening from 3f out. Cheekpieces back on. |

2.25/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Temur Khan 2.25/1, Modest gelding. 7/2, won 5-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 2 days ago. Has to be taken seriously if turned out again quickly. | |||
2nd (3)  (3/1 -60%)Hidden Pearl |
3/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidden Pearl 3/1, Modest mare. 5/2, finally off the mark under a good-value 5 lb claimer in 5-runner handicap at Bath (14f, firm) 24 days ago, unchallenged. Has to have a major say in this company provided she's in the same mood. | |||
3rd (7)  (8.5/1 +29%)Miss Metropolitan |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miss Metropolitan 8.5/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 6 in minor event at this course (9.9f, good to firm, 11/2) 2 days ago. Unlikely she will be involved at the business end today. | |||

2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Global Style 2/1, Modest gelding. Two wins from 44 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 2¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Temur Khan in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/10) 2 days ago. | |||

80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gin And Tea 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 on handicap debut (100/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 3 months and though it remains early days, she's tough to make a case for. | |||
6th (6)  (11/1 +8%)Hold The Press |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hold The Press 11/1, Modest gelding. Last of 6 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm, 10/1) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. More needed. |

2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Loquace 2.75/1, Best recent effort when runner up over 7f here last month. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 13 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Can take advantage if the favourite falters. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.83/1 -4%)Unsung Hero |
0.83/1(-4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Unsung Hero 0.83/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, very good third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Still unexposed in handicaps and looks the one to beat from same mark. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.75/1 +45%)Somedayonedaynever |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Somedayonedaynever 2.75/1, Respectable second of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm, 11/8) 2 days ago, though didn't look keen under pressure and probably needs to improve, despite . |

4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lethal Angel 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Connections suggested race came too soon when only sixth of 9 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good, 6/5) 22 days ago. Visor back on. Merits consideration if back to best. | |||
2nd (8)  (5/1 +50%)King Crimson |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) King Crimson 5/1, 4-time C&D winner. Gambled on when runner up here on penultimate outing but was bit below form fifth of 12 in minor event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Must improve back in handicap despite positive course record. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.5/1 +36%)Mr Pc |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Pc 3.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March only was headed only on the line when runner-up here in May. 5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Considered. | |||

5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hattie C 5/1, Struggled in handicaps since winning notably weak maiden over C&D in July. More needed. | |||
6th (4)  (11/1 -83%)Our Man In Havana |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Our Man In Havana 11/1, Won at Chepstow in may and ran respectably when fifth of 9 in handicap there (5.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account. | |||

11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lothian 11/1, Fair form on AW in the winter but seemingly just going through the motions at present, again underwhelming when fourth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, firm) 25 days ago. Bit to prove. | |||
8th (7)  (8.5/1 -55%)Hot Hot Hot |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hot Hot Hot 8.5/1, Broke long losing run here in June. 11/2, respectable fourth of 10 in minor event at Bath (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago, nearest finish. Consistent enough sort at this low level and holds frame possibilities. | |||
9th (9)  (16/1 +0%)Ard Up |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ard Up 16/1, Barely modest maiden followed a couple of respectable efforts with a poor one last time. Not the easiest to make a case for with cheekpieces on 1st time. |

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.
