3.33/1(+58%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bright Sunbird 3.33/1, Opened her account with something to spare in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 20 days ago. May do better still. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.62/1 +7%)Zumbi |
1.62/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Zumbi 1.62/1, Confirmed the promise of his one bumper run when making a winning hurdles debut in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (good) 49 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Solid claims under a penalty. | |||
|U| (4)  (2.5/1 +9%)Dressedforsuccess |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dressedforsuccess 2.5/1, Winning pointer who landed each of his 4 starts over fences here last year and found further progress to rattle off the 5-timer on return over extended 25f here in May. Had winning run ended last time but still well respected on hurdles debut. | |||
|DQ| (1)  (4.5/1 -80%)Kerosine Light |
4.5/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kerosine Light 4.5/1, Made a low-key debut in bumper but left that behind sent hurdling for new yard 12 months later, winning maiden at Bangor in May before following up in Warwick handicap. Decent third from 4 lb higher at Aintree since and can go well again back in novice company. |

20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Snookered 20/1, Not in top form under both codes in recent months and losing run over obstacles dates back to 2019. | |||
2nd (3)  (20/1 -43%)Gladiatorial |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gladiatorial 20/1, Pulled up both starts in Ireland back from 7 months off so clearly has a lot to prove at present. | |||

18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Iolani 18/1, Now 2 lb below last winning mark, gained at Kelso in September. Ended last term in slightly disappointing fashion but fit from a trio of sound efforts on the level. | |||
4th (9)  (5/1 +17%)Vocal Duke |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vocal Duke 5/1, Did well last season, winning 3 times. Sold from Toby Lawes for £23,000 in May and better than ever when making winning start for this yard over C&D last month, suited by this sharp track. Mid-field in a deeper race here since. | |||
5th (13)  (6/1 +50%)Beeno |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Beeno 6/1, Perth winner in September and positives to draw from latest run at that venue in May. Back over a more suitable trip and his plenty of Cartmel experience. | |||
6th (10)  (12/1 -60%)Battle Of Toro |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Battle Of Toro 12/1, Useful on Flat and quickly back on track when easily opening his hurdle account in first-time cheekpieces in a C&D novice last month. Similar form when runner-up under a penalty and retains scope as a handicapper. | |||
7th (1)  (7/1 +22%)Alqamar |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alqamar 7/1, Completed a four-timer in 2021 (3 of those wins over C&D) and not disgraced both starts back this spring. First disappointing run here 3 weeks ago but cheekpieces off and he's likely to bounce back. | |||
8th (7)  (7/1 -17%)El Borracho |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) El Borracho 7/1, Consistent over hurdles/fences last year, bagging three handicap chases along the way. Stepped up on return when also winning handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter and he didn't do a lot wrong at Aintree latest. | |||
9th (8)  (10/1 -43%)Well Planted |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Well Planted 10/1, Arrives on the up, travelling smoothly when cosy winner of 6-runner handicap at Perth prior to a narrow second over same C&D from 7 lb higher. Likely to give it another good go. | |||
|U| (2)  (8/1 -14%)Peltwell |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peltwell 8/1, Won all 7 starts in 2021 and having found the Swinton a bit too much, she retaining the successful thread down in class at Newton Abbot last month. Up 3 lb but she has a likeable profile. | |||
10th (12)  (14/1 +58%)Petit Palais |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Petit Palais 14/1, Has won twice in France for this trainer but failed to continue the good work back in Britain when last of 6 at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces. | |||
11th (14)  (7.5/1 +17%)Frightened Rabbit |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Frightened Rabbit 7.5/1, Backed at long odds following a 2-month break and duly capitalised on a falling mark in re-fitted cheekpieces at Hexham in May. Remains on a handy mark and has a good record here. | |||
12th (6)  (33/1 -136%)Eskendash |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eskendash 33/1, Twice finished runner-up over fences early last year. Below that level first 3 starts in 2021/22 for Olly Murphy, but back to winning ways in claiming hurdle for new yard in March. Second of 4 over fences since. | |||

33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Marine One 33/1, Irish import who won his first 3 starts for this yard in 2020 (all over hurdles), including Market Rasen listed handicap.

1st (8)  (3.5/1 +22%)Johnson's Blue |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Johnson's Blue 3.5/1, Improving hurdler who has been on a roll at Hexham, looking just as at home making the running and jumping his 3 rivals into the ground as he got a hat-trick up 5 weeks ago. More to come and seems sure to go well again. | |||
2nd (9)  (11/1 +8%)Belles Benefit |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Belles Benefit 11/1, Landed a gamble in good style on first run for yard at Fontwell over this trip last month and fair effort under a penalty at Newton Abbot 4 weeks ago. This is much tougher. | |||
3rd (11)  (7/1 +36%)Well Educated |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Well Educated 7/1, Has won 2 of his last 3 starts over hurdles, both at Hexham (first in seller for John Quinn). Might have more to offer but this is a whole different test. | |||
4th (4)  (5.5/1 +0%)Charlie Uberalles |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charlie Uberalles 5.5/1, Impressive as he made a successful start over fences/in handicaps at Perth (3m) 4 weeks ago, making all and jumping boldly as he put a field of more established chasers to the sword. Still unexposed over both sets of obstacles and can go well again. | |||
5th (10)  (18/1 -29%)Malangen |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Malangen 18/1, Temperamental sort usually seen at Perth, scoring twice in his last 3 starts there this summer. This demands a lot more. | |||
6th (1)  (22/1 -38%)Homme D'un Soir |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Homme D'un Soir 22/1, Perth novice hurdle winner this time last year and a couple of good efforts in handicaps up in trip for new yard in Ireland last season. Wouldn't dismiss back from a break. | |||
7th (5)  (10/1 -25%)Native Fighter |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Native Fighter 10/1, In good form at this venue last summer, winning twice again under Charlotte Jones. Yet to fire this term but he's been given a chance by the handicapper and a better showing wouldn't be too much of a surprise. | |||
8th (6)  (11/1 +0%)Fugitives Drift |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fugitives Drift 11/1, Useful hurdler in 2020/21 and back in this sphere after another washout over fences. Well handicapped if the fitting of tongue tie/cheekpieces can help him find his peak form again. | |||
9th (2)  (5.5/1 +39%)Kaizer |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kaizer 5.5/1, Enjoying a fine year, a dual winner in staying handicap hurdles at Kelso before landing a gamble in well-contested Pontefract handicap on the level 4 weeks ago. Bit more needed to continue the good work here. | |||
10th (3)  (8/1 -23%)Saint Riquier |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Saint Riquier 8/1, Off the mark over hurdles in 19f Warwick handicap in May. Fair runs on the level twice since and could have more to offer at this level back jumping. Interesting with 7 lb conditional up. | |||
11th (12)  (22/1 -22%)Sword Of Fate |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sword Of Fate 22/1, Back in good form, winning Perth handicap chase in May, while he seemed to excel himself in class 2 contest here 20 days ago. This might just stretch him back over hurdles. | |||
12th (7)  (12/1 -100%)Largy G |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Largy G 12/1, Took a good pot at Newbury in April but made heavy weather of landing odds of 1/6 in thin mares' novice at Newton Abbot 9 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on and this will demand another career best. |

5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glan Y Gors 5.5/1, Modest winner at 14f on Flat. Fair track record and back to form behind Post No Bills here 3 weeks ago. Respected back in trip off the same mark. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.5/1 +0%)Post No Bills |
1.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Post No Bills 1.5/1, Lightly-raced hurdler with a background of success in points and made a promising chasing debut here (21.2f) 3 weeks ago, edged out close home having made most (also baulked near finish). Will surely win races in this sphere. | |||
3rd (6)  (6.5/1 +0%)Going Mobile |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Going Mobile 6.5/1, Ended losing run dropped to bare 2m at Hexham last month but poor run over C&D next time and others preferred for the win. | |||
4th (1)  (7.5/1 -67%)Nefyn Point |
7.5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Nefyn Point 7.5/1, Off the mark over fences at Market Rasen over this trip last month but that was a rare win and he added to his patchy record with a poor run back there a fortnight on. | |||
5th (9)  (8/1 +43%)Onenightintown |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Onenightintown 8/1, Poor, long-standing maiden but has had some excuses of late, bad mistake 3 out when in touch when held behind Going Mobile at Hexham 5 weeks ago. | |||
6th (5)  (7.5/1 -25%)Captain Cobajay |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Captain Cobajay 7.5/1, Bagged 17f handicap chases at Market Rasen and Stratford last August. Hasn't clicked in 3 starts for a stable which usually does well with new recruits but his mark has dipped further. Headgear back on. | |||
7th (8)  (25/1 +11%)Rann Of Kutch |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rann Of Kutch 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser, not disgraced at Southwell (2m) last time. More needed. | |||
8th (7)  (16/1 +20%)Rocco Storm |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rocco Storm 16/1, Modest maiden, given a considerate introduction to chasing at Sedgefield in April when last seen. Down further in the weights back after a wind op. | |||
|PU| (4)  (28/1 +30%)Pointed And Sharp |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pointed And Sharp 28/1, Triple chase winner in 2019 but drawn a blank since and well held again back in handicap at Newton Abbot 5 weeks ago. |

1st (5)  (5/1 +55%)Tico Times |
5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tico Times 5/1, Landed back-to-back handicap chase events at up to 20.9f last spring. Inconsistency has crept in over the larger obstacles though, and he was well held behind Brelan D'As recently. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.5/1 +53%)Raecius Felix |
3.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Raecius Felix 3.5/1, Long time without a win and the cheekpieces have had no effect on his last 3 efforts. Sliding in the weights, though, so can't be completely discounted. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.5/1 -100%)Brelan D'As |
2.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brelan D'As 2.5/1, Improved to win 8-runner handicap chase at this course 20 days ago, bit in hand. Back up in trip. Remains well treated on old form and makes plenty of appeal in the follow-up bid. | |||
4th (3)  (3.2/1 +29%)Animore |
3.2/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Animore 3.2/1, Has dipped below last winning mark and, although seventh, she wasn't disgraced over C&D last time, so she's no forlorn hope after a short break. | |||
5th (2)  (4.5/1 -100%)Exit To Where |
4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Exit To Where 4.5/1, Back to winning ways (although did little in front) at Kelso in May and not disgraced (although again didn't look straightforward) at Perth subsequently. Not discounted. |

1st (2)  (4/1 +33%)Mah Mate Bob |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mah Mate Bob 4/1, Good second over 21f here in May but taken on for the lead over same C&D 3 weeks ago and ran poorly. Unproven over this far and risky for all he's on a tempting mark. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.2/1 +13%)Dee Star |
1.2/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dee Star 1.2/1, Goes well here, resuming winning ways in C&D handicap in May (decent form) before a good second to 126-rated rival building up a solid course record himself 3 weeks ago. Strong claims. | |||
3rd (5)  (20/1 -43%)Old Harry Rocks |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Old Harry Rocks 20/1, Newton Abbot (21f) novice handicap chase winner in April 2021 but struggling for form at present. | |||
4th (6)  (7.5/1 +6%)Prince Of Bad Lins |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Prince Of Bad Lins 7.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler. Upped further in trip for chase debut. Market support could be revealing. | |||
5th (8)  (25/1 +0%)Supreme Steel |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Supreme Steel 25/1, Veteran who scored at Hexham (extended 3m) in October. Not seen to best effect there last time but others preferred. | |||
6th (4)  (6/1 +0%)Kiltorcan Boy |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kiltorcan Boy 6/1, Lightly raced and better run in handicap hurdles here (25.4f) 3 weeks ago. Likely to make at least as good a chaser. Interesting. | |||
7th (7)  (10/1 -11%)Fraterculus |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fraterculus 10/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser. Poor run over hurdles at Worcester 17 days ago. Hard to fancy. | |||
|PU| (3)  (14/1 -87%)The Very Thing |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Very Thing 14/1, Scored over fences at Catterick in January and good second at Market Rasen (from 10 lb out of the handicap) in April. Poor there last time but could bounce back. |

1st (4)  (2.75/1 +45%)Redwood Queen |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Redwood Queen 2.75/1, Showed little in a bumper/trio of maiden hurdles but much more like it on third handicap start when 3 lengths second of 10 in a C&D event 3 weeks ago. That may not prove her limit and she still has 2½m+ to explore. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +18%)Simply Red |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Simply Red 2.25/1, Showed ability for Oliver Greenall and off the mark at second attempt for new yard at Bangor (16.6f) in May, forging clear. Has run well twice since, runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Southwell (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Can go well again. | |||
3rd (6)  (2.75/1 +50%)Calliope |
2.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Calliope 2.75/1, Hasn't looked the force she was last year but her mark reflects that and she arrives having gone with more zest when 5.5 lengths third of 10 over C&D 3 weeks ago (Redwood Queen second). Certainly no forlorn hope. | |||
4th (1)  (8/1 +0%)Bellaney Gem |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bellaney Gem 8/1, C&D mares' novice winner last summer who hit the frame next 3 starts including in handicaps from higher marks. Best effort of present campaign when fourth over 22f back here in June and drop back in trip will hold no fears. | |||
5th (3)  (5.5/1 +39%)Millie The Minx |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Millie The Minx 5.5/1, Consistent over hurdles, enhancing her record when landing this race from a 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Fairly low-key efforts on Flat since the spring so switch back to hurdles needs to bring about a resurgence. |

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.
