1st (2)  (3/1 +40%)Definitive Force |
3/1(+40%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Definitive Force 3/1, Has done well handicapping on AW for this yard, winning 6f Newcastle nursery and bumping into one over 7f there last time when fitted with cheekpieces. Got to be a big player if proving as good on turf. | |||
2nd (8)  (10/1 +29%)Crypto Quest |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Crypto Quest 10/1, Fair form at best in 6f events. Potentially got a very workable mark for handicaps at least back from 3 months off. | |||
3rd (7)  (7/1 +30%)Variety Island |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Variety Island 7/1, Much improved in 6f Newcastle nurseries in October, successful and then headed on the line in follow-up bid a fortnight later. Gelded and certainly bred to do better this term. One to consider. | |||
4th (4)  (5.5/1 +0%)Mega Marvel |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mega Marvel 5.5/1, Off the mark in 6f Newcastle novice when last seen in November. More needed now handicapping but it's certainly possible. | |||
4th (6)  (8.5/1 -55%)Judy's Park |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Judy's Park 8.5/1, Raced solely on AW, winning at Newcastle (5f) last month. Just failed from the worst of the draw at Lingfield last time but needs to back that up on turf debut now. | |||
6th (3)  (3.33/1 +26%)Raydoun |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Raydoun 3.33/1, Winner at Newcastle in February. 4/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 26 days ago. Some good efforts on turf last term and one to consider. | |||
7th (5)  (5/1 -25%)Dandy Dinmont |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dandy Dinmont 5/1, Filled the runner-up spot twice before an excusable run in Glorious Goodwood nursery over this trip when last seen. Interesting. |

1st (2)  (7.5/1 +12%)Bass Player |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bass Player 7.5/1, Iffraaj gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Dragon Pulse out of useful 1m winner Poetical. Bred to be no back number. Market can guide. | |||
2nd (8)  (2.5/1 -53%)Tothenines |
2.5/1(-53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tothenines 2.5/1, 9/1, promising debut second of 7 in minor event at Leicester (5f, good) 12 months ago but off the track since. Has form to play a leading role if fully tuned up after his absence. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.25/1 +23%)Kodiac Sign |
1.25/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kodiac Sign 1.25/1, Promising fourth of 14 in minor event (11/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on his debut 177 days ago. Sure to do better, so he's a player. | |||
4th (3)  (3.5/1 +50%)Dion Baker |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dion Baker 3.5/1, Twice-raced gelding. 2/1, fair fourth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 93 days and can't be discounted for good yard. | |||
5th (5)  (18/1 -80%)Hezahunk |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hezahunk 18/1, Twice-raced ex-Irish gelding, encouraging fourth in maiden (18/1) at Dundalk (7f) 6 months ago. Should improve, and needs considering for his new stable. | |||
6th (7)  (125/1 -56%)Maffeo Barberini |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Maffeo Barberini 125/1, 50/1, last of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 87 days ago. Lots to find on form. | |||
7th (4)  (33/1 +18%)Felix Adler |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Felix Adler 33/1, 40/1, eighth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 162 days and needs to step forward. |

(2)  (1.1/1 +20%)Spirit Of The Bay |
1.1/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spirit Of The Bay 1.1/1, Massive improver during the second half of 2021, completing 4-timer at Sandown in September. Excellent return to action when fourth at Kempton and she's a big player from the same mark. | |||
(3)  (2.75/1 +45%)Alpha Cru |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alpha Cru 2.75/1, Three wins from 5 runs in productive 3-y-o career. Never able to land a blow on last week's reappearance at Nottingham but she's expected to step up on that. | |||
(6)  (4.5/1 +0%)Finery |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Finery 4.5/1, Successful 3 times for Mick Appleby and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts this spring. 1 lb out of the weights switched to turf but that won't prevent another bold bid. | |||
(4)  (9/1 +0%)Zulu Girl |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zulu Girl 9/1, Triple winner around 1m last summer and didn't appear to ger home upped to 10f on final 2021 outing. Doesn't have much margin for error from this mark on reappearance. | |||
(1)  (11/1 -120%)Khatwah |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Khatwah 11/1, Improver for this yard, completing a 7f handicap hat-trick in January/February. Too free to last out the last twice and remains to be seen if she's as effective on turf. | |||
(5)  (40/1 -82%)Fire Eyes |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fire Eyes 40/1, Fair form for George Boughey, coming good at the fourth time asking in Kempton novice 38 days ago. Subsequently sold for 38,000 gns and last of 10 upped to 14.4 on handicap debut in September. |

(1)  (2/1 +50%)Brave Nation |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brave Nation 2/1, Foaled March 27. €31,000 foal, 57,000 gns yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Yolo Again and 5f-7f winner Gunnerside. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, sister to smart winner up to 7f Parfait. Certainly bred to be sharp. | |||
(3)  (3.33/1 +26%)Jim's Cracker |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jim's Cracker 3.33/1, Foaled March 12. 9,000 gns foal, £28,000 yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Jordan Electrics and 1m winner Ranes. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m La Martina. | |||

3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Machito 3.5/1, Foaled April 21. £32,000 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Moonlight Bay and 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Martini Time. One to note on debut. | |||
(2)  (5.5/1 -38%)Edgar Linton |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Edgar Linton 5.5/1, Foaled March 7. €64,000 foal, £55,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 1m/9f winner Better Than Ever. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Spirit of Battle. | |||
(6)  (9/1 -125%)Villemacho |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Villemacho 9/1, Foaled April 2. £19,000 yearling, Camacho colt. Closely related to 7.6f/1m winner City Wanderer and half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Dawn View and 2-y-o 1m winner Bohemian Rapsody. | |||
(4)  (11/1 -22%)Leading Company |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Leading Company 11/1, (Production):35,000Y: third foal: half-brother to winner up to 6f Obtuse (by Clodovil): dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). |

(2)  (1.5/1 +8%)Matchless |
1.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Matchless 1.5/1, Brought up a first win for this stable over C&D (14/1) 27 days ago, a galloping test back on turf suiting better than he had been faring on the all-weather. Up 5 lb but having had even better form for Aidan O'Brien last season, he's sure to be popular. | |||
(1)  (2.25/1 +18%)Strawman |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Strawman 2.25/1, Resurgent upon joining present stable last summer, rattling off a hat-trick in determined style at Ripon (9.7f) in August. Left with too much to do when runner-up at Haydock next time and with potentially still more to offer, has to be taken seriously on reappearance. | |||
(5)  (4/1 +50%)Hathlool |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hathlool 4/1, Third win since joining this yard when dead-heating at Newcastle in February. Excuses when down the field at Lingfield 8 days ago (would have benefited from a stronger gallop). One for the shortlist. | |||
(4)  (8.5/1 +47%)Benadalid |
8.5/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Benadalid 8.5/1, C&D winner who failed to come on for recent run when down the field at Thirsk a fortnight ago. Ideally needs a strongly-run race and the handicapper has given him a chance so can't be discounted. | |||
(3)  (8.5/1 +58%)Heart Of Soul |
8.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Heart Of Soul 8.5/1, Shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when twelfth of 20 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) last week. Should strip fitter now but may find a few too strong. |

(6)  (2.25/1 +50%)Emaraty Hero |
2.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Emaraty Hero 2.25/1, Won his first two starts impressively last season then shaped as if still in form over 2m on both subsequent outings. Yet to reach his limit and return to this trip seems favourable, so strong claims. | |||
(7)  (3.5/1 +36%)Gustav Holst |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gustav Holst 3.5/1, Blinkers back on and better for return when a good second under a forceful ride at Windsor 12 days ago | |||
(1)  (4.5/1 +44%)Percy's Pride |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Percy's Pride 4.5/1, Won three times last year and wasn't disgraced in a listed event at Bath on her final outing. Needs to return with another career-best if she's to make a successful return, though. | |||
(3)  (7/1 +30%)In The Breeze |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) In The Breeze 7/1, Scored at Newbury last July and was back on the up when runner-up in testing conditions at Leicester 6 months ago. Has left Roger Charlton since, but has joined another capable yard, so could improve further. | |||
(2)  (7/1 +50%)Charging Thunder |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charging Thunder 7/1, Three-time winner last season but they were small-field events and he was found out in the Melrose at York on his final outing 6 months ago. Others look better treated. | |||
(8)  (9/1 -50%)Shake A Leg |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shake A Leg 9/1, Fairly useful sort who is on a handy mark and bounced back at Newcastle 72 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more. | |||
(10)  (12/1 -33%)Percy Willis |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Percy Willis 12/1, Likeable, reliable type who wasn't ideally placed when fourth at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Should give another good account. |

(2)  (1.2/1 +4%)Wholeofthemoon |
1.2/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wholeofthemoon 1.2/1, No match for the promising Aldous Huxley on 1¼m Kempton return but saw off rest comfortably. Opening handicap mark of 75 looks generous on that form. Hard to stop if stamina holds now stepping up in trip. | |||
(4)  (3/1 +40%)Levitate |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Levitate 3/1, Fair form on all 3 starts in maiden and novices over 1¼m. Possible improver now handicapping over a longer trip | |||
(1)  (3.33/1 +26%)State Legend |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) State Legend 3.33/1, Won first 2 handicaps (both around 1¼m on AW). Not in quite the same form when only fifth of 9 back on turf at Nottingham 17 days ago. | |||
(3)  (7/1 +7%)Wolsey |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wolsey 7/1, Fair form but he was over 8 lengths behind Wholeofthemoon at Kempton last time but meets him on level weights on his handicap debut. | |||
(6)  (66/1 +0%)Herbertandflorence |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Herbertandflorence 66/1, Well held on all 3 starts in handicaps, including on yard/reappearance at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 weeks ago. Hard to make a case for. |

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.
