Atlanta Brave

1.75/1(+30%)
(2) Atlanta Brave 1.75/1, Irish point winner showed plenty when second of 9 in novice hurdle (11/4) at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 46 days ago, sticking to task. Should be in the mix again.

Ed Keeper

3.33/1(-33%)
(5) Ed Keeper 3.33/1, Hunter's Light gelding. Chased home a more experienced pair when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago, headed only on the run-in. Leading player.

3rd (9) Inch House (3.2/1 +20%)
Inch House

3.2/1(+20%)
(9) Inch House 3.2/1, £125,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and looked as if he'd come on for the run when fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (11/2) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) on NH debut 33 days ago. Should have more to offer.
4
4th (11) Zero Tolerance (14/1 +50%)
Zero Tolerance

14/1(+50%)
(11) Zero Tolerance 14/1, Placed in bumper for Charles O'Brien and offered something to work on when third at Ludlow on hurdles debut in November. Ran poorly there last time, though, so needs to get back on track.
5th
5th (10) Puddlesinthepark (16/1 +52%)
Puddlesinthepark

16/1(+52%)
(10) Puddlesinthepark 16/1, Runner-up sole start in points. Only fifth in a novice at Ffos Las on hurdling debut and he's probably more of a long-term prospect.
6th
6th (3) Beannaigh Do (200/1 +20%)
Beannaigh Do

200/1(+20%)
(3) Beannaigh Do 200/1, Made frame sole start in Irish points but well held in bumper and two maiden hurdles under Rules. Easy to look elsewhere.
7th
7th (6) Hallwood (100/1 -150%)
Hallwood

100/1(-150%)
(6) Hallwood 100/1, £120,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Brother to smart hurdler/useful chaser Very Wood. Offered little when eighth of 9 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) on NH debut. Off 21 months. Hard to fancy after significant absence.
8th
8th (7) Haven't Time (8/1 +50%)
Haven't Time

8/1(+50%)
(7) Haven't Time 8/1, Dual-winning pointer fell in hunter chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) on sole start under Rules when trained by owner Miss S. McQueen, looking sure to be placed. Interesting hurdles newcomer.
9th
9th (4) Dunstall Rambler (33/1 -106%)
Dunstall Rambler

33/1(-106%)
(4) Dunstall Rambler 33/1, Walk In The Park gelding out of sister to Nacarat. Appeals as more of a stayer on pedigree and shaped that way when sixth of 15 in bumper (12/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 39 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.
|PU|
|PU| (1) Am I Wrong (22/1 -144%)
Am I Wrong

22/1(-144%)
(1) Am I Wrong 22/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding was well backed and shaped with some promise when fourth of 9 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Shoule benefit from this longer trip on hurdles debut.

1
1st (1) Galice Macalo (3/1 -33%)
Galice Macalo

3/1(-33%)
(1) Galice Macalo 3/1, Useful performer at best over hurdles, winning 3 novice races in 2020/21 (including at this C&D). Not quite so good over fences, but one of better efforts shen second in a Uttoxeter handicap on return. On a dangerous mark as she reverts to hurdling.
2
2nd (2) Progressive (14/1 -87%)
Progressive

14/1(-87%)
(2) Progressive 14/1, C&D winner who, after being tried on the Flat early last year, also scored in mares handicap at Warwick in September for Nicky Henderson. Not discredited on stable debut when fourth of 5 at Southwell in December. Needs to build on latest effort.
3
3rd (10) Astra Via (14/1 +0%)
Astra Via

14/1(+0%)
(10) Astra Via 14/1, Plenty of solid efforts without success this term but turned in a rare poor effort back over fences here (23.6f) in November. Significantly back down in trip as returns to hurdling with cheekpieces back on. May just find others better treated.
4
4th (6) Heva Rose (5.5/1 +8%)
Heva Rose

5.5/1(+8%)
(6) Heva Rose 5.5/1, Successful only outing on Flat and fairly useful form over jumps in France in 2020/21. Failed to come on for British/stable debut when pulled up on handicap bow at Exeter a year ago, but could well do better having had wind op ahead of her return.
5th
5th (9) Sarceaux (5/1 +50%)
Sarceaux

5/1(+50%)
(9) Sarceaux 5/1, Fair Flat winner in France who opened account over hurdles in mares handicap at Kempton in February last year. Placed the next twice, and probably needed the run after 7 months off when well held last time. Could be closer to form this time.
6th
6th (7) Mind Sunday (25/1 -150%)
Mind Sunday

25/1(-150%)
(7) Mind Sunday 25/1, Bumper winner who has gone the wrong way since promising second on hurdles debut at Exeter in November 2021. Having left Nicky Henderson/been off 10 months, pulled up at this course (23.6f) in October. Has enough to prove back at 2m in 1st-time hood.
7th
7th (8) Getbazoutofhere (8/1 +11%)
Getbazoutofhere

8/1(+11%)
(8) Getbazoutofhere 8/1, Modest form over hurdles so far, not looking straightforward when runner-up on handicap debut at Doncaster in March last year. Let down by jumping when mid-field at Haydock the following month, but could yet have more to offer after 8 months off.
8th
8th (4) Pillar Of Steel (11/1 +8%)
Pillar Of Steel

11/1(+8%)
(4) Pillar Of Steel 11/1, Won 5 handicap hurdles over 2m last season and has been holding her form well during the current campaign, unsuited by emphasis on speed when third of 5 at Southwell last time. Can give her running once again.
9th
9th (3) Grasse D'oliverie (9/1 -6%)
Grasse D'oliverie

9/1(-6%)
(3) Grasse D'oliverie 9/1, Wide-margin winner of a mares hurdle at Cagnes-sur-Mer a year ago, but not at the same level in 3 starts over fences, unseating on latest outing in April. Interesting back hurdling on first run since leaving Hugo Merienne.
|PU|
|PU| (5) Minelladestination (7/1 +36%)
Minelladestination

7/1(+36%)
(5) Minelladestination 7/1, Made a winning debut in mares novice hurdle at Wetherby in February, but didn't advance her form when placed on her next 3 starts. After 8 months, looked rusty when fourth of 7 on handicap bow at Sedgefield in December. Remains early days.

1
1st (2) Moonlighter (3.5/1 -56%)
Moonlighter

3.5/1(-56%)
(2) Moonlighter 3.5/1, Lost his way last season but first outing for new yard (second at Stratford) was a big step back in the right direction. Again looked ahead of his much-reduced mark but was typically let down by his jumping at Ffos Las last time (has had a breathing operation since).
2
2nd (6) Good Work (1.75/1 -7%)
Good Work

1.75/1(-7%)
(6) Good Work 1.75/1, Maiden who appeals as being on a good mark and he ran well when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f) in November, hanging left run-in but keeping on. Still room for improvement in his jumping but he could have more to offer.
3
3rd (3) Ballinsker (14/1 +0%)
Ballinsker

14/1(+0%)
(3) Ballinsker 14/1, Recorded back-to-back wins last spring (including over C&D) before starting the current season with a couple of below-par efforts, Looked back to best on return at Ffos Las in October before unseating late on but followed that up with a poor showing at Southwell since.
4
4th (5) Do It For Thy Sen (8/1 +6%)
Do It For Thy Sen

8/1(+6%)
(5) Do It For Thy Sen 8/1, Lost his unbeaten record over 20.4f at Southwell in rather tame fashion on return in November. That outing should've blown away any cobwebs at least, but hard to support with much confidence.
5th
5th (1) Duc De Beauchene (4.5/1 +55%)
Duc De Beauchene

4.5/1(+55%)
(1) Duc De Beauchene 4.5/1, Produced a more assured round of jumping when doubling his tally over fences at Newbury (22.4f, good) in April. Has failed to make an impact in 4 starts since though, so percentage call is to look elsewhere.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Buckhorn George (6/1 -9%)
Buckhorn George

6/1(-9%)
(4) Buckhorn George 6/1, Yet to convince as a chaser and was disappointing back in this sphere on seasonal reappearance at Fontwell 8 weeks ago (strong in the betting). Bit to prove.

1
1st (4) Monbeg Genius (1.25/1 +44%)
Monbeg Genius

1.25/1(+44%)
(4) Monbeg Genius 1.25/1, Point winner who tasted success twice in maiden/novice hurdles last term (at up to 23.6f). Showed benefit of reappearance to get off the mark over fences at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) last month, and with further progress on the cards, he has to be taken seriously.
2
2nd (1) First Lord De Cuet (3/1 +14%)
First Lord De Cuet

3/1(+14%)
(1) First Lord De Cuet 3/1, Deservedly got his head in front in 21.4f handicap hurdle at Wincanton in February 2021 and having been given a chance by the handicapper, shaped as if as good as ever after 19 months off when runner-up at Ffos Las (20.9f, heavy) last month. Task is to back that up here.
3
3rd (6) Lord Of Kerak (12/1 +14%)
Lord Of Kerak

12/1(+14%)
(6) Lord Of Kerak 12/1, Fairly useful winning novice hurdler in 2020/21 and ran his best race to date when runner-up at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 10 months ago. Worth a second look in the betting now attentions are switched to the larger obstacles.
4
4th (3) Bellatrixsa (4/1 +27%)
Bellatrixsa

4/1(+27%)
(3) Bellatrixsa 4/1, 6-y-o who boasted a progressive profile over hurdles (successful 4 times) and justified good support when successful on the Flat at Chester (18.6f) when last seen in May. Has to be worth a look now attentions switched to chasing.
5th
5th (5) Skandiburg (7/1 +68%)
Skandiburg

7/1(+68%)
(5) Skandiburg 7/1, Long time without a win but took a step back in the right direction refitted with cheekpieces when fifth at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) in November. Back over fences today and will need to leave both previous tries behind if he's to figure.

(10) Libberty Hunter 1.5/1, Won 2 bumpers for Brian Eckley and changed hands for £160,000 after. Made a promising hurdling debut when second over C&D but failed to build on it when third back here last month. Worth another chance.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
