1st (1)  (0.3/1 +32%)Frankness |
0.3/1(+32%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Frankness 0.3/1, Frankel filly who confirmed the promise of her Newmarket debut when running out the clear-cut winner of a C&D novice last month. Remains open to improvement and very much the one to beat. despite conceding weight all round. | |||
2nd (4)  (4.5/1 -100%)Tellus |
4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tellus 4.5/1, Promising start to her career when beaten under a length by Kyeema in a maiden at Catterick (7f, good to soft) earlier this month, form was franked when the winner followed up in a York nursery omn Thursday. Needs considering here with improvement likely. | |||
3rd (3)  (22/1 +12%)Pedro And The Bear |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pedro And The Bear 22/1, Signs of ability on first three starts, but firmly put in her place when pitched into a nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time and hopes here pinned on the first-time cheekpieces working the oracle. | |||
4th (6)  (50/1 +24%)Witchford |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Witchford 50/1, Equipped with a hood (retained here) and failed to land a blow on debut at Pontefract (6f, good). Will be wiser this time, but huge step forward will be needed if she's to trouble the principles. | |||
5th (5)  (9/1 +36%)Tillybob |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tillybob 9/1, Foaled April 9. 40,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Secret Strength. Burgeoning yard does well with its 2-y-os and this filly needs a second look in the betting. |

1st (1)  (1.62/1 +1%)All The Time |
1.62/1(+1%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) All The Time 1.62/1, Impressed when making a winning debut in a Nottingham maiden (5f, good) in June. This company is less exalted than what she has faced in two subsequent starts and a bold show is anticipated. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.25/1 -50%)Can To Can |
2.25/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Can To Can 2.25/1, Stepped up on her debut display when blitzing rivals from the front in a 5f Pontefract maiden (good) last month. Rather disappointing in a French listed race since, but leading claims if able to get back on track here upped to 6f. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.75/1 +54%)Queen Of Uplands |
2.75/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Queen Of Uplands 2.75/1, Runner-up in a 6f Newbury maiden three starts back and has since made the frame in nurseries at Newmarket and Leicester. Still, she will need to raise her game in order to trouble All The Time and Can To Can. | |||
4th (3)  (16/1 +20%)Oneforsue |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oneforsue 16/1, Though beaten over 10 lengths when seventh of 12 starting out in 6f Haydock maiden recently, that effort was not devoid of promise and she's likely to do better in time. | |||
5th (5)  (12/1 +0%)Sugar Hill Babe |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sugar Hill Babe 12/1, Placed on two of her three starts, most recently when third of seven in a first-time hood here (5f, good). Ought to pick up a race at some point, but there will be easier opportunities than this. |

1st (5)  (3/1 +33%)River Of Stars |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) River Of Stars 3/1, Promising filly who stepped up markedly on her exploits as a 2-y-o when runner-up on return in a Newbury maiden (12f) in May. Readily justified cramped odds to get off the mark at Lingfield (12f) since and interesting that good yard pitch her in here. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.83/1 +63%)Loft |
0.83/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Loft 0.83/1, Smart performer who landed Group 2 in native Germany back in May and took another step forward when comfortably taking Grade 2 Belmont Gold Cup (2m) in June. Most intriguing contender lining up here with Ben Curtis in the plate. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.5/1 +36%)Typewriter |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Typewriter 3.5/1, Twice a winner at Nottingham at 2 yrs and came on plenty for reappearance when third in Cheshire Oaks here in May. Found things too tough in Group 2 company at the Royal Meeting since but this rates more suitable. | |||
4th (4)  (14/1 +50%)Vindolanda |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vindolanda 14/1, Regained winning thread at Ascot (14f) 13 months ago and placed on 2 of last 3 starts to end the campaign. Ran best race of present campaign when second at Wolverhampton (14f) 3 weeks ago but again has no easy task on here. |

1st (5)  (20/1 -25%)Percy's Lad |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Percy's Lad 20/1, Landed a pair of 1m handicaps at Yarmouth/Nottingham in the spring but seems to have gone off the boil, only fifth in 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f) last time. Needs to get back on track. | |||
2nd (10)  (5/1 +23%)Positive Impact |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Positive Impact 5/1, Shamardal gelding who landed a match with the minimum of fuss at Brighton (7f) in June and built on that effort when runner-up at Newmarket (1m) next time. Not disgraced under a good claimer subsequently but his current mark demands a bit more. | |||
3rd (8)  (9/1 +0%)Bullace |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bullace 9/1, Useful sort who was perked up by blinkers when second at Newmarket in July. Not quite in same form back there last time but still interesting from this mark on his peak 2021 form. | |||
4th (11)  (12/1 +14%)Paws For Thought |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Paws For Thought 12/1, Course winner who bounced back to his best when 1¼ lengths third of 13 to Fools Rush In in handicap at this C&D (soft) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Respected off same mark despite poor draw. | |||
5th (4)  (6/1 +0%)On A Session |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) On A Session 6/1, Ended long losing run in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) in June, staying on to lead close home. Ran at least as well when second in a valuable Galway handicap since and ought to give another good account. | |||
6th (3)  (8/1 +20%)Boardman |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Boardman 8/1, Haydock winner in April and even better form when going in at Thirsk and over C&D in May. However, has been below his best both outings since. | |||
7th (13)  (25/1 -178%)Trumble |
25/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Trumble 25/1, Developed into a useful performer on AW at the end of 2021, winning 3 times over 6f/7f at Chelmsford. However, failed to meet expectations off his much lower turf mark after 7 months off at Carlisle recently. | |||
8th (9)  (2.5/1 +44%)Titan Rock |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Titan Rock 2.5/1, Has yet to build on an encouraging reappearance at York in June but looked back in form when fifth of 18 in 7f Goodwood handicap 24 days ago, nearest at the finish. Has dipped below his last winning mark and must enter the reckoning. | |||
9th (2)  (5/1 +0%)Fools Rush In |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fools Rush In 5/1, Is a likeable type who looks better than ever at present and added to his 2 wins here last season when landing 13-runner C&D handicap (soft) 20 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. Stall 11 not ideal but seems sure to go well again. | |||
10th (7)  (66/1 -100%)Absolute Ruler |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Absolute Ruler 66/1, Fair 1m juvenile winner but has made little impact this year in listed/pattern company and fared no better in a first-time tongue strap on handicap/stable debut here last time. Enough to prove at present. | |||
11th (12)  (22/1 +12%)Cassy O |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Cassy O 22/1, Reacted well to a positive ride when off the mark for the season at Redcar in June. Ran creditably under a 5 lb penalty at Carlisle next time but has been below form since. |

1st (11)  (4/1 +56%)King Of Tonga |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) King Of Tonga 4/1, Thrived for switch to sprinting for new yard, gaining third success (in first-time blinkers) over C&D in June. Well below his best when last of 12 at York (5f) thereafter but another who could bounce back returned from a short break from plum draw in 1. | |||
2nd (1)  (5/1 +29%)Ancient Times |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ancient Times 5/1, Has improved further this term, landing back-to-back 5f handicaps at Doncaster/Musselburgh prior to a good second at Newmarket (5f) in July. Below best in big-field York handicap on Wednesday but this rates less demanding. | |||
3rd (5)  (5/1 +9%)Sampers Seven |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sampers Seven 5/1, Dual 5f scorer during 2020 who missed last year but proved she retains all her ability this term, using up plenty of petrol from worst of draw when third over 5f here 5 weeks ago. Better served in that department here and she's worth a second look. | |||
4th (4)  (3.5/1 +13%)Roman Dragon |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Roman Dragon 3.5/1, Dual course winner as a juvenile who made a solid start for Hugo Palmer prior to adding to his tally over 6f here last month, leading under 2f out and keeping on. Not in same form over 7f at Goodwood 3 weeks ago but return to this venue rates an obvious plus from handy draw. | |||
5th (8)  (20/1 +9%)Gabrial The Devil |
20/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gabrial The Devil 20/1, Course specialist (5-time winner here) who failed to see things out tackling extended 7f here 3 weeks ago. This more suitable and now operating 6 lb below last winning mark but another with a tricky draw to overcome. | |||
6th (10)  (7/1 +18%)Lihou |
7/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Lihou 7/1, Capitalised on drop in grade when making all at Salisbury (5f) in June. Exploits mixed subsequently, yet a repeat of his penultimate fourth in a class 2 Goodwood handicap gives him claims here from a handy draw. | |||
7th (3)  (14/1 +30%)Khunan |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Khunan 14/1, Ran best race since finish runner-up in Richmond Stakes at 2yrs when ninth in 19-runner Newmarket handicap (6f) on penultimate run but proved disappointing at Chelmsford (6f) next time. Still, mark has eased a little more if he can leave that effort in his wake. | |||
8th (6)  (12/1 +40%)Scot's Grace |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scot's Grace 12/1, All-weather novice winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy who ran best race for present yard when third over 6f here last month. Not in same form at Kempton 18 days ago and bounce back called for here. | |||
9th (9)  (14/1 -87%)Glory Fighter |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Glory Fighter 14/1, Successful from a 2 lb lower mark at Musselburgh for Iain Jardine last summer. Quickly found his form for new yard, again filling runners-up spot when headed late on by Navello over C&D in June. Should give another good account. |

(13)  (14/1 +36%)Sheikh Maz Mahood |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Sheikh Maz Mahood 14/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f) in June but seemingly anchored by 7 lb higher mark at Doncaster in race won by Riversway. | |||
1st (12)  (7.5/1 +25%)Riversway |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Riversway 7.5/1, Wasn't unbacked prior to doubling career tally at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Suited by how race panned out on that occasion and those tactics not as easy to pull off here. | |||
2nd (11)  (33/1 -18%)Lucky Shake |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lucky Shake 33/1, Brighton maiden winner a year ago but yet to add to tally in handicaps for current yard this term. | |||
3rd (2)  (28/1 -12%)Catch Cunningham |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Catch Cunningham 28/1, Good effort at Thirsk on reappearance but has been underwhelming since. This sharp track will suit but others more persuasive. | |||
4th (9)  (2.75/1 +61%)Frisky |
2.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Frisky 2.75/1, Career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Leicester last month and not far off that level switched to a handicap at Beverley. Waited with that day so stall 2 may not be a plus. | |||
5th (6)  (40/1 +0%)Mytilda |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mytilda 40/1, Fair performer for Philip Makin at 2, the highlight a nursery success in July 2021. Has a relatively exposed look about her after 7 starts and possibly best watched on this return for a new trainer minus hood. | |||
6th (7)  (4.5/1 +40%)The Dunkirk Lads |
4.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Dunkirk Lads 4.5/1, Solid efforts since a decisive handicap win at Nottingham in June and has landed stall 1. Deserves a place on the shortlist. | |||
7th (8)  (7/1 +13%)So Smart |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) So Smart 7/1, Runner-up on 5 of his last 6 starts, latest of them at Salisbury just about a career best. Nudged up just 1 lb so likely to give it another good go. | |||
8th (4)  (9/1 -100%)Antiphon |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Antiphon 9/1, Better than ever for win number 3 at Brighton 17 days ago. 3 lb rise fine but stall 12 asks a question. | |||
9th (10)  (22/1 +12%)Motashaweq |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Motashaweq 22/1, Well-bred sort who, on the back of being gelded, showed improved form to make winning return/yard debut in a Hamilton novice (5f) in June. Similar form when third on handicap debut back there last month and he did too much too soon at York latest. | |||
10th (1)  (2.75/1 +0%)Le Beau Garcon |
2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Beau Garcon 2.75/1, Progressive 2-y-o who won pair of 5f novices and caught the eye in a big way when second on return/handicap debut at Musselburgh. Unable to build on that twice since but this does represent a drop back in class. Well drawn, too. |

1st (7)  (1.75/1 +56%)The Gadget Man |
1.75/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Gadget Man 1.75/1, Hasn't had much racing and, while he's not improving as yet, he shaped like this longer trip would suit when third at Lingfield last time. Definite player with the potential to do better. | |||
2nd (2)  (4/1 +43%)Emiyn |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Emiyn 4/1, Consistent front runner who has hit the frame at this course the last twice. Back up in trip and another solid showing is on the cards. | |||
3rd (5)  (4/1 +56%)Mancini |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mancini 4/1, Has dropped a long way in the weights and has been showing better signs, notably when third at Galway last time. Solid claims at a track where these connections have enjoyed plenty of success. | |||
4th (4)  (14/1 +13%)Heart Of Soul |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heart Of Soul 14/1, Landed a quick-fire double in May but has disappointed at this course since. Up in trip, but hard to make a strong case for. | |||
5th (3)  (8/1 +11%)Cogital |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cogital 8/1, Improved over hurdles last season and continued his good form onto the Flat, winning at Chepstow in May and this course in June. Disappointing at Newmarket last time but possibly just a blip. | |||
6th (9)  (18/1 -29%)Overhaugh Street |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Overhaugh Street 18/1, Scored at Pontefract in June and was back to form at a big price when third at Carlisle last time. Hard to rely on and out of the weights here though. | |||
7th (8)  (10/1 -43%)The New Marwan |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The New Marwan 10/1, Scored here in July and has held his form since, second at Carlisle (albeit no match for the winner) 11 days ago. One to consider for all his stamina is in doubt somewhat. | |||
8th (6)  (16/1 -14%)Bollin Neil |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bollin Neil 16/1, Scored at Musselburgh in May but seemed to be found out by a small rise at Catterick next time. Off 45 days since, but others are more persuasive. |

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.
