12:30 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +8%) Blue Bikini	6 6/1(+8%)	(4) Blue Bikini 6/1, Very capable when on song, gaining fourth career success at Warwick (21f) in May. First start for 6 months was disappointing at Chepstow (23.6f) in October but certainly no surprise to see her leave that behind. Three handicap wins earlier in the year; needs to bounce back from poor reappearance run.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +8%) Balkotic	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Balkotic 6/1, Ended last term in good form, scoring at Hexham/over C&D. Low-key start to the present campaign but produced one of his better efforts from an easing mark when third in a C&D handicap last month. Not out of things. C&D winner last year and decent third over C&D last time; stable in form; this tougher.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -186%) Jessie Lightfoot	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Jessie Lightfoot 20/1, Left John Groucott and returned to form when landing a 6-runner Southwell handicap a year ago. Premature exit wasn't her fault next time and shaped as if still in form when third at Market Rasen final start. Off 10 months and starts out for another new yard/returned to timber. 0-7 over hurdles but has won two handicap chases over 3m/3m2f; interesting on stable debut.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 -175%) Dragon Rock	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(1) Dragon Rock 11/2, Well held in Grade 3 company on penultimate start but quickly back on track returned to handicap company when successful over fences at Fairyhouse (24.3f) 25 days ago. Remains unexposed over hurdles and he's respected. Two wins over jumps in Ireland, the latest a 3m handicap chase; 10lb higher; interesting.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (8/13 +65%) Beachcomber	0.615385 8/13(+65%)	(3) Beachcomber 8/13, Impressive when landing second of 3 starts in bumpers and fair form when landing a Huntingdon maiden hurdle (25f) 24 days ago, well served by front running/step up in trip. Possible he can do better again now attentions switch to handicaps. Won a maiden hurdle when up to 3m1f last time; further progress likely on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

12:30 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The suggestion is DRAGON ROCK who fairly bolted up in a Fairyhouse chase last time. The progressive Beachcomber should also go well.

1	7 1st (7) (4/6 +55%) Teorie	0.666667 4/6(+55%)	(7) Teorie 4/6, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. New connections acquired him for 45,000 gns in September. Starts out over hurdles in a winnable race. 45,000gns buy after winning 1m2f maiden for Jim Bolger; interesting on jumps debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -65%) Mandega	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Mandega 33/1, Fair Flat winner but only poor form when a remote fourth in 2 juvenile hurdles last month. Improvement will be needed. Dual Flat winner in France; well beaten on both starts hurdling; others stronger.
3	8 3rd (8) (200/1 -300%) Expert Lady	200 200/1(-300%)	(8) Expert Lady 200/1, Down the field in varied events on Flat, including handicap. Likely outsider now hurdling. Modest form at up to 7.5f in four runs on the Flat; plenty to prove on jumps debut.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -6%) Common Acclaim	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(3) Common Acclaim 17/2, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat. Best effort over hurdles when third over C&D 25 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again with a repeat of that form. Flat maiden; in the frame all runs over hurdles, latest a third over C&D; more needed.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +45%) Climate Precedent	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(2) Climate Precedent 11/4, Fair maiden on the Flat for Michael Bell who made a solid yard/hurdling debut when second at Uttoxeter in July. Bit below that level when in the frame on his 2 outings since but this sharper test could suit him. Fair Flat maiden who has been in the frame on all starts over hurdles; each-way chance.
6th	6 6th (6) (250/1 -279%) Red Shield	250 250/1(-279%)	(6) Red Shield 250/1, Poor maiden on the Flat who has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles, finishing a distant fifth over C&D latest. Modest Flat maiden in Ireland; poor efforts over hurdles for this yard; others appeal more.
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 -900%) Rose De La Jarrie	50 50/1(-900%)	(10) Rose De La Jarrie 50/1, Won over 1½m at Beaupreau on only outing on Flat for Elisabeth Allaire in France. Sold for €42,000 in September. Interesting to see what the betting makes of her on hurdle debut. 42,000 euros buy after 1m4f win in France in August; interesting on jumps/stable debut.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (125/1 -400%) Madam Florence	125 125/1(-400%)	(9) Madam Florence 125/1, Modest form in 3 outings on the Flat for Grant Tuer. Sold for 8,000 gns in October. Hurdle debut. Modest effort in three runs at up to 1m on the Flat; best watched on jumps debut.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (4/1 +33%) Hourless	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Hourless 4/1, Modest Flat winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Hexham in June. Runner-up both hurdle starts since, caught late on having made his effort earlier than ideal on handicap debut at Stratford (18.5f) in October. Has since left Alan King. Three good runs over hurdles for Alan King; bought for £9,000; interesting on stable debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (6/1 +0%) Kings Justice	6 6/1(+0%)	(11) Kings Justice 6/1, Back to best form, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 14 in handicap chase (18/1) over C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago, going in snatches. Claims if building on that. Modest hurdler; improved on chase debut when second over C&D last time; could go well.
2	1 2nd (1) (40/1 -150%) Okavango Delta	40 40/1(-150%)	(1) Okavango Delta 40/1, Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster 13 months ago but hasn't threatened since, including on chase debut latest. Handicap hurdle winner last term; well beaten over 2m on chase debut; improvement likely.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +33%) Empty Nest	5 5/1(+33%)	(8) Empty Nest 5/1, Found improvement when fourth of 14 in handicap chase (18/1) over C&D (good to soft) on debut over fences 25 days ago, going with enthusiasm. 1 lb lower now and should have more to offer. Improved form on chase debut when fourth over C&D; further progress likely; a possible.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -10%) Titanium Bullet	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) Titanium Bullet 11/2, Reached the frame a few times in handicap hurdles for Warren Greatrex in the spring and ran to a similar level when third on chase debut over C&D for current yard last month. One of likelier contenders. Maiden; £32,000 buy in May; good third over C&D on chase debut; should improve; chance.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +9%) Time For A Pint	10 10/1(+9%)	(10) Time For A Pint 10/1, Irish point winner who has finished well held in all 4 starts over hurdles. May do better now sent over the larger obstacles but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Irish point winner; modest hurdler; may do better now going over fences for first time.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 -25%) Take Centre Stage	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Take Centre Stage 5/1, Failed to build on promise of chasing bow when third of 6 in handicap at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) 21 days ago. Still early days in this discipline, though. Maiden hurdler; two good runs over fences, latest when third over 2m1f here; a possible.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -115%) Coolmoyne	14 14/1(-115%)	(9) Coolmoyne 14/1, Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 26 days ago. Still looking for first success, however. 0-16; fair form over fences, notably when third over 2m3f two runs back; place chance.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 -33%) Limerick Leader	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Limerick Leader 12/1, Shaped as if better for run when seventh of 14 in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) on return 25 days ago. 4 lb lower now and warrants respect. Novice hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences, but has a chance on his best form.
9th	2 9th (2) (7/2 +13%) Star Flyer	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Star Flyer 7/2, Run creditably both starts in this sphere, latest when third of 6 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Shortlist material. 0-9; creditable third on both starts over fences and is one to consider.
10th	6 10th (6) (12/1 +33%) Blue Bear	12 12/1(+33%)	(6) Blue Bear 12/1, Offered more over hurdles at Kelso in October but couldn't build on that on handicap bow at Market Rasen since and has something to prove on chase debut. Modest form but may do better now going over fences for the first time (dam useful chaser).
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -52%) Brickadank	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Brickadank 50/1, Remains a maiden after 28 NH runs and makes limited appeal on back of non completion at Sedgefield last month. 3 lb out of the handicap. 0-27; has run a few fair races over fences but stiff task from 3lb out of the handicap.

LTO Selection:

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A low-grade handicap can go to TITANIUM BULLET who was a good third over C&D on his chase debut. Kings Justice is his main threat.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (5/2 +9%) Rich Spirit	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(10) Rich Spirit 5/2, Just modest form in 2 bumpers but improved on his hurdling debut form when third at Aintree (20f, soft) in October, getting first run on the pair that beat him. Faced a stiff task up in grade at Haydock last time. Not taken lightly. Three good runs over hurdles, including a third at Aintree (2m4f); stable in form; chance.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 -80%) Mikimoto	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(8) Mikimoto 9/2, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in Hereford bumper in February. Sold out of Henry Daly's yard for £46,000 the following month and promising start in this sphere for new connections when going close on return at Warwick (21f, good) in September. Open to improvement. £46,000 buy after bumper win in February; good second on hurdles debut; one with a chance.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -100%) Hawkseye View	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Hawkseye View 28/1, Opened his account in points at second attempt but looked one for later on when fifth on Rules debut at Hexham. £15,000 buy after point win in May; fair fifth on hurdles debut but this a stronger race.
4	12 4th (12) (5/6 +40%) Soldier Of Destiny	0.833333 5/6(+40%)	(12) Soldier Of Destiny 5/6, Useful chaser/fair hurdler. Ran respectably when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (20.7f) when last seen 9 months ago. Yard continues in fine form and must enter calculations. Dual winning chaser; 2nd in two novices on last two runs over hurdles; obvious contender.
5th	13 5th (13) (15/2 +25%) Tommy Johnson	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(13) Tommy Johnson 15/2, Bred to stay well and produced a promising first effort when finding only the odds-on favourite too strong in novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f) in October. Probably found racing coming too soon when pulled up at Hexham 2 weeks later. Second at Carlisle on debut; pulled up on heavy last time; better suited by today's ground.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -52%) Hang On	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Hang On 50/1, Out of a bumper winner but has looked like more of a long-term project in 2 bumpers/novice hurdles. Ordinary form in two bumpers and two novice hurdles; would be a surprise winner.
7th	1 7th (1) (150/1 -200%) Bamboo Bay	150 150/1(-200%)	(1) Bamboo Bay 150/1, Ran to a fair level on his hurdles debut back in 2021 but disappointing since, including on the Flat. Unexposed over hurdles but not been in much form on Flat recently; others stronger.
8th	15 8th (15) (250/1 -400%) Hollywood Harmon	250 250/1(-400%)	(15) Hollywood Harmon 250/1, Unplaced completed starts in Irish points and looks one for low-grade handicaps a bit further down the line on early evidence under Rules. Modest form in points and over hurdles; would be a surprise winner.
9th	16 9th (16) (250/1 -150%) Moroccan Moon	250 250/1(-150%)	(16) Moroccan Moon 250/1, Looked limited in bumpers and no impact in a pair of novice hurdles. Modest form in bumpers; hasn't achieved enough over hurdles to suggest she will take this.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -175%) Treaty Boy	33 33/1(-175%)	(14) Treaty Boy 33/1, Placed both starts in Irish points and offered a bit to work on when seventh of 18 on Wetherby hurdle debut (19.7f, soft). However, went backwards under a change of tactics at Sedgefield last time. Placed in two Irish points in 2022; well beaten over hurdles; looks more a handicap sort.
11th	9 11th (9) (100/1 -300%) Odd Venture	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Odd Venture 100/1, Modest hurdler who was successful on the level at Musselburgh in July but below form since and improvement needed now returning to hurdling. Ex-Irish; dual Flat winner; ordinary form over hurdles; others look stronger.
12th	2 12th (2) (250/1 -279%) Conscription	250 250/1(-279%)	(2) Conscription 250/1, Runner-up in a point bumper but pulled up both tries over obstacles and offered little in a C&D novice hurdle 25 days ago. Second to a decent prospect in a point bumper on debut but disappointing over jumps since.

1	1 1st (1) (11/2 +0%) Mistral Nell	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(1) Mistral Nell 11/2, Cheekpieces on for first time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell in April. Pulled up next 2 starts but back on track with headgear omitted when again finding just one too good on return/stable debut at Fakenham (2½m, soft). Player if able to back that up here. Bumper winner who was a good second at Fakenham on stable debut last time; chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 -17%) Crimson Ruby	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Crimson Ruby 14/1, Bettered previous form when brushed aside by the useful Booster Bob (winner again since, in listed company) in a Uttoxeter novice (15.8f, heavy). Improvement needed but that's entirely possible now that she's pitched into a handicap. Unexposed; 2nd to an easy winner latest; should be suited by longer trip on handicap debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (18/1 -80%) Misty Mani	18 18/1(-80%)	(11) Misty Mani 18/1, Won 3 on the bounce in 2022 and bounced back following a strong of underwhelming efforts when going close at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to soft) on latest start in September. Repeat of that would put her in the picture. Three good-ground wins last term; good second latest; chance unless going gets heavy.
4	13 4th (13) (18/1 +10%) Blame Rose	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Blame Rose 18/1, Poor maiden hurdler on balance but she appeared to take a step in the right direction following a wind op when third of 13 in a 21f Kelso handicap (heavy). Mark unchanged and could have a part to play if able to build on that. 0-9 over hurdles; good 4th after a break latest (first run after a wind op); interesting.
5th	10 5th (10) (3/1 +60%) Just Jess	3 3/1(+60%)	(10) Just Jess 3/1, More miss than hit since scoring here on New Year's Day but left low-key reappearance behind when finding just one too strong at Newcastle (23.7f, good to soft). Possibilities provided that this drop back in trip doesn't inconvenience her. 2-19; 1lb lower than 3m win here in January; fair run last time; stable in form; contender.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 +44%) Turbulent Power	5 5/1(+44%)	(8) Turbulent Power 5/1, Yet to win a race of any description following 26 career starts (Flat and hurdles) but, to her credit, she was runner-up 4 times on the bounce (3 times at this course) on the level during the spring. Well worth a second look returned to this sphere for new yard. £32,000 buy in June; best form here (Flat and jumps), including over this trip; chance.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 +43%) Emily Wade	8 8/1(+43%)	(9) Emily Wade 8/1, Made second handicap start a winning one at Southwell in March and placed on her next 4 outings. Wasn't disgraced off 2 lb higher at Sedgefield (21.2f, soft) last time but this drop back in trip is not an obvious plus. Southwell winner off 5lb higher in March; not at her best last twice; bit to prove.
8th	15 8th (15) (18/1 -29%) Virtuoso	18 18/1(-29%)	(15) Virtuoso 18/1, Fair winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding last year. Changed hands for 14,000 gns and well held all 4 runs over hurdles so far but this will be just her second handicap start in this sphere. Not entirely ruled out. Hasn't progressed over hurdles; needs to improve for step up in trip on second h'cap start.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 +50%) Cailin Dearg	33 33/1(+50%)	(2) Cailin Dearg 33/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Sedgefield in December 2021 but she offered little when returning from a lengthy absence at that course last month. Dual Sedgefield winner in 2021; lightly raced since; well beaten after long break latest.
10th	5 10th (5) (7/1 -180%) Mullins Cross	7 7/1(-180%)	(5) Mullins Cross 7/1, Ordinary strike rate but wellbeing not in question following a thoroughly decisive success in a Bangor handicap (16.7f, heavy) for amateur/conditional riders last week. Escapes a penalty and obvious claims with Brian Hughes booked. Wide-margin winner on heavy on Friday; on same mark so an obvious contender to follow up.
11th	14 11th (14) (15/2 -15%) Bean Norty	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(14) Bean Norty 15/2, Comfortably held in maiden/novice hurdles last term and again failed to threaten on handicap debut upped to 25f at Huntingdon when last seen in May. Still, she's worth another chance back down in trip for new yard here with a very able conditional in the hot-seat. £4,000 buy from Tom Lacey; modest form; stiff task back from a break on stable debut.
12th	4 12th (4) (50/1 -52%) Dazzling Dove	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Dazzling Dove 50/1, Still a maiden but made a positive start for new connections until beating only one in Fontwell handicap in April. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if able to get back on track here following an 8-month break. 0-11 over hurdles; two good runs in handicaps, one at 2m4f, early this year; a possible.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (28/1 -75%) Fainche	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Fainche 28/1, Posted one of her better efforts when fourth in a 16-runner Fairyhouse handicap (23.2f, heavy) in November 2022. However, record stands at 0-19 and subsequent absence is a concern ahead of this debut for new connections. Ex-Irish; exposed 19-race maiden who is best watched on stable debut after 406-day break.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 +24%) Sawpit Samantha	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Sawpit Samantha 50/1, Down the field in bumper/all 3 starts over hurdles and there was no improvement on last month's handicap bow at Leicester. Modest form including on handicap debut (heavy); unexposed; may do better now up in trip.

1	4 1st (4) (13/2 -86%) Fanfan Du Seuil	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Fanfan Du Seuil 13/2, Losing run stretches back to November 2018 but went close off reduced mark back over fences at Doncaster after 12 months off 32 days ago. Should go well again up only 2 lb. Not the force of old but went close when returned to chasing for seasonal debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 +31%) Beat The Edge	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Beat The Edge 9/2, Ungenuine (has thrown away races in latter stages more than once). Belatedly off the mark at Wetherby (15f) in March, idling markedly flat and only just holding on. Similar form since, though typically proved a horror when asked for maximum effort when third at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago. Began this season with two pretty good efforts and is now back on his winning mark.
3	9 3rd (9) (25/1 -150%) Budarri	25 25/1(-150%)	(9) Budarri 25/1, Successful twice at Musselburgh last winter and posted good placed efforts in pair of Hexham handicaps (at up to 20f) this summer. Well held both starts after 5 months off, however. On a workable mark but returned from break with two quiet runs last month.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 +84%) Dr Sanderson	2.5 5/2(+84%)	(3) Dr Sanderson 5/2, Disappointed over hurdles earlier this year and no upturn since returned to chasing, again finishing well held at Ayr (20.5f) 45 days ago. Mark continues to fall but he's hard to warm to at present. Back from break with three heavy defeats this autumn; considered only if lively in betting.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Fearless Action	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Fearless Action 5/1, Responded well to cheekpieces when opening his account in 9-runner handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, heavy), albeit shaping third best on the day, and only fifth off revised mark at Doncaster since. Not one to rely upon heavily but battled well to win in first-time cheekpieces in October.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 +23%) Trapista	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Trapista 5/1, Winning hurdler who is proving expensive to follow in this sphere. Going through motions of late but becoming well handicapped at least. Regressive mare who is 0-10 over fences; may benefit from this drop back in trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +64%) Gouet Des Bruyeres	12 12/1(+64%)	(8) Gouet Des Bruyeres 12/1, Three-time winner over fences but was out of form in the summer and fared little better for new yard last month. Made quite encouraging stable debut last month and has become well handicapped.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 -409%) Ribeye	14 14/1(-409%)	(5) Ribeye 14/1, Made a cracking start over fences, value for extra when winning Hexham handicap in May. Did too much too soon after upping the pace mid-race at Newcastle 10 days later (good, 6/4). Often travels strongly so drop back in trip no big concern ahead of return. 2-4 over fences but has fitness to prove today and may find 2m too sharp.
9th	10 9th (10) (28/1 -75%) Money For Jam	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Money For Jam 28/1, Made frame sole start in points but little worthwhile form under Rules. Pulled up in first two chases and 7lb out of the weights here.

Has the potential for improvement if settling better this time. Dropped away late on at Stratford on debut; bred to leave that behind him in time.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/3 +58%) Largy Force	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(12) Largy Force 10/3, £85,000 after winning his sole start in April 2022. It's taken a while for new connections to get her to the track but she still needs keeping a close eye on in the market. Form of point win advertised but makes rules debut after a 612-day absence; check betting.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/4 +39%) Tigga Time	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(10) Tigga Time 11/4, £30,000 buy after making a successful sole start in points in April. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him on Rules debut. Has a hood and eyeshields fitted. Point winner in April; withdrawn before last week's intended debut but was only 5-2.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -57%) Chantilly Moon	11 11/1(-57%)	(1) Chantilly Moon 11/1, Pether's Moon gelding. Brother to Mon Cher Ami, and half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser in France Turfiste. Has had wind surgery. One to note on debut with Brian Hughes up. Related to two winning jumpers in France out of a winning French hurdler; betting to guide.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/5 +29%) Strong Foundations	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(9) Strong Foundations 16/5, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Promising first effort under Rules when fourth of 15 at Cheltenham in October. Tongue tie worn on that occasion retained. Should go well. Promising fourth at Cheltenham on rules debut; more to come and one of the likelier types.
6th	3 6th (3) (200/1 -300%) Foster's Fortune	200 200/1(-300%)	(3) Foster's Fortune 200/1, 50/1, eleventh of 15 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good, 50/1) on debut 45 days ago, not ideally placed. Never dangerous but did hint at ability on debut; others appeal more today.
7th	13 7th (13) (80/1 -400%) Lily Baloo	80 80/1(-400%)	(13) Lily Baloo 80/1, Cityscape filly. Dam (c113/h105), 21f-25f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 25f) Betty Baloo. One of 2 runners from the stable. Bred to make a useful jumper but perhaps one for further down the line.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 -367%) Independent Jimmy	28 28/1(-367%)	(4) Independent Jimmy 28/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Harambe and fair hurdler/chaser Diamond Rock. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Stable also runs Lubenham Dream. Betting should guide. Half-brother to four winners, notably Harambe (RPR 131 in bumpers); interesting newcomer.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 -75%) Springs A Girl	7 7/1(-75%)	(8) Springs A Girl 7/1, Half-sister to a bumper winner and off the mark at the first attempt at Listowel in September. Found a Cheltenham listed event too much to handle on last month's stable debut but should make her presence felt back in calmer waters. Won on debut in Ireland; tough task on stable debut latest; contender back down in grade.
10th	5 10th (5) (18/1 -29%) Lubenham Dream	18 18/1(-29%)	(5) Lubenham Dream 18/1, Doyen gelding. Dam, ran once in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Hansupfordetroit. One of 2 newcomers from his respected stable and the betting should help to separate them. First foal of a mare who was unplaced in a point; one of two newcomers for the stable.
11th	7 11th (7) (100/1 -525%) Rooibos	100 100/1(-525%)	(7) Rooibos 100/1, Mondialiste gelding. Dam 7f-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Stable 2-27 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Dam was a useful Flat handicapper but she's produced little of note so far.

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.
