(1) Real Stone 2.5/1, Had wind op before 50/1 winner of novice at Aintree (20f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 33 days ago, leading near finish. Next effort best excused and he remains with potential.

Master Grey

50/1(+50%)
(9) Master Grey 50/1, Fair, three-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat. Minimal promise over hurdles to this point, though, looking more of a handicap type.

66/1(+34%)
(7) Just Got To Get On 66/1, Went backwards from a promising bumper debut for Sam Thomas and hasn't been seen for 22 months off, so hard to make a case for.

250/1(-67%)
(10) Paddy's Return 250/1, Big price when down the field in minor event over C&D on hurdling debut. Looks more of a long-term project.

First Lord De Cuet

3.5/1(+0%)
(3) First Lord De Cuet 3.5/1, Heavily backed when finding one too good in a brace of handicaps at up to 23f in November. Similar effort when fourth at Ascot and he can remain competitive. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Global Fame

2.75/1(+0%)
(2) Global Fame 2.75/1, Southwell bumper winner who confirmed promise of his hurdling debut when ready winner of Wetherby novice (19.7f) in March. Sound return to action on back of a wind op but opening mark asks for more.

Caswell Bay

7/1(+30%)

Evenstevens

8/1(+20%)

Memphis Bell

4.5/1(-64%)
(3) Memphis Bell 4.5/1, Handicapper who is firmly on the up, completing the 4-timer at Newton Abbot (26.5f, heavy) on latest start in October. 8 lb higher here but she could easily have more to offer after her break.

Capricia

9/1(+25%)
(7) Capricia 9/1, Ran her best race up in trip when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Stratford (22f) in October, then unsuited by drop in trip at Leicester subsequently. Much respected now back up in distance.
|PU|
|PU| (2) Mere Anarchy (10/1 -54%)
Mere Anarchy

10/1(-54%)
(2) Mere Anarchy 10/1, Fair but untrustworthy hurdler who arrives in good heart, clear of the rest when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) 61 days ago. Nudged up 3 lb though so others appeal more.
|PU|
|PU| (4) A Perfect Gift (16/1 -167%)
A Perfect Gift

16/1(-167%)
(4) A Perfect Gift 16/1, Bumper winner who showed promise in this sphere only to be pulled up on handicap bow at Market Rasen (23.1f) 62 days ago. Since had wind op and tongue strap on too so not written off for in-form yard.

1.75/1(+13%)
(1) Kapga De Lily 1.75/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who is 3-4 over fences following another authoritative display at Hereford (25.2f) last month. This 6 lb higher mark may well be within reach and she has to be feared.

2nd (7) Annie Day (1.75/1 +36%)
Annie Day

1.75/1(+36%)
(7) Annie Day 1.75/1, Little impact in 3 starts over hurdles, but this former point winner was a major eye-catcher when third over an inadequate trip (15.7f) on chase debut at Catterick. Improvement should be forthcoming.

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. 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.
