1st (4)  (5.5/1 -38%)Gala De Corton |
5.5/1(-38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gala De Corton 5.5/1, Bettered low-key hurdles debut when chasing home exciting stablemate Knappers Hill at Wincanton. Just as good when second at Taunton since, albeit no match for winner. Makes handicap debut. | |||
2nd (8)  (4.5/1 +0%)Boulette |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Boulette 4.5/1, Fair maiden on Flat who opened his account in this sphere in a juvenile contest at Fontwell in November. Just as good when second in a similar event there since, so merits respect on handicap debut. | |||
3rd (1)  (12/1 -33%)Balleticon |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balleticon 12/1, Overcame a 2-year layoff to make a winning hurdling debut at Southwell (15.8f) last December. Beaten favourite next 2 starts (tongue tied second time) and now tries handicaps after 10 months off. | |||
4th (6)  (10/1 -54%)Begin The Luck |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Begin The Luck 10/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps over 2m at Southwell this spring. Didn't do much wrong when third off this mark at Leicester (15.5f) last month and should remain competitive. | |||
5th (7)  (6.5/1 -30%)Seaborough |
6.5/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Seaborough 6.5/1, Arrives on a losing run and needs everything to drop right but is holding his form well in this sphere, good second over C&D latest. | |||
6th (2)  (25/1 -25%)Ginistrelli |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ginistrelli 25/1, Doubled hurdles tally on back of a second wind op over C&D in March. However, his profile is rather patchy and he ran poorly at Perth when last seen in June. | |||
7th (3)  (18/1 +10%)Son Of Red |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Son Of Red 18/1, Fair 2m Flat winner who has shown similar form over hurdles, though has a bit to prove after disappointing in a first-time hood at Kempton last month. | |||
|F| (9)  (1.75/1 +47%)Sacre Pierre |
1.75/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sacre Pierre 1.75/1, Landed juveniles at Uttoxeter and Cartmel in the summer. Limitations exposed in stronger company since but interesting now switching to handicaps armed with a handy weight-for-age allowance. | |||
|PU| (5)  (25/1 -108%)Drunken Pirate |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Drunken Pirate 25/1, Big, chasing type who shaped as if retaining ability on first run since leaving Noel Williams when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, good) 44 days ago. This will reveal more. |

(10)  (25/1 -14%)Latitude |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Latitude 25/1, Point bumper winner who made a successful start under Rules in an Aintree bumper in May. Took strong hold and well beaten at Bangor 5 months on and may need more time now hurdling. | |||
(9)  (40/1 +0%)Idols's Eye |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Idols's Eye 40/1, Made a promising start over hurdles when third at Southwell (20.4f) in May and had excuses for a poor run 5 months on there (reportedly lost a shoe and finished lame). Looks one for handicaps. | |||
1st (3)  (10/1 -150%)Surrey Quest |
10/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Surrey Quest 10/1, Cost a fair bit and made successful hurdles debut at Leicester (20.5f) after wind op last month, though beat only 2 rivals. Should have more in the locker. | |||
2nd (12)  (6/1 +50%)Mumbo Jumbo |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Mumbo Jumbo 6/1, Back on track on second run over hurdles when a fading fourth at Market Rasen (20.6f) earlier this month. Can progress further. | |||
3rd (11)  (33/1 -267%)Luke |
33/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Luke 33/1, Plenty of promise in Hexham bumper and 2m novice hurdle 7 months apart. Longer trip will suit but he's got a way to go to trouble some potentially useful rivals in this. | |||
4th (2)  (4.5/1 +18%)Pipesmoker |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pipesmoker 4.5/1, Off the mark in 2m Lingfield novice hurdle last month despite doing plenty wrong. Not so good faced with emphasis on speed in 2m Huntingdon handicap next time and back up in trip now with headgear on. | |||
5th (4)  (8/1 -60%)Ted's Friend |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ted's Friend 8/1, Proved a different proposition second time up over hurdles when scoring at Plumpton (20.5f) last month despite not jumping too well. Should have more to offer. | |||
6th (1)  (5/1 -25%)Le Chiffre D'or |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Chiffre D'or 5/1, Very much going the right way, following up his opening win over hurdles at Hereford (2m) upped to this sort of trip back there 5 weeks ago, having plenty in hand. Likely has lots more to offer. | |||
7th (5)  (50/1 -150%)Ailes D'amour |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ailes D'amour 50/1, Has shown plenty in bumpers/2 maiden hurdles (behind Arizona Cardinal at Warwick latest, not knocked about). Looks one for handicaps. | |||
|PU| (6)  (1.5/1 +55%)Arizona Cardinal |
1.5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Arizona Cardinal 1.5/1, Irish point winner who made a very promising start over hurdles in well-run maiden at Warwick (21f) under this rider earlier this month. Progress on the way and seems sure to go well. | |||
|PU| (7)  (400/1 -300%)C'mon Sharpy |
400/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) C'mon Sharpy 400/1, Little impact in Warwick bumper/Uttoxeter novice hurdle 6 months apart. Tongue tie goes on. |

1st (4)  (1/1 +17%)Galah |
1/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Galah 1/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Ralph Beckett and fair form in hitting the frame both starts over hurdles, third in a stronger affair at Cheltenham earlier this month. Rates a big player here. | |||
2nd (6)  (14/1 -17%)Pump It Up |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pump It Up 14/1, Modest winner on Flat, stays 11.5f. Showed more than on hurdles debut when fourth of 7 in a fillies' juvenile (15.5f) at Leicester last month. Needs to build on that further now. Blinkers back on. | |||
3rd (9)  (10/1 -33%)Tiki Fire |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tiki Fire 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Karl Burke (stays 1½m). Stepped up on hurdles bow when fourth in a juvenile maiden at Warwick (2m) 3 weeks ago and she holds claims of hitting the frame. | |||
4th (3)  (25/1 +50%)Fleeting Blue |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fleeting Blue 25/1, Poor maiden on Flat who offered little in a juvenile maiden on hurdles bow at Wetherby last month, merely passing beaten horses. Can only be watched. | |||
5th (8)  (28/1 -56%)Simply Red |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Simply Red 28/1, Little impact in a couple of bumpers but modicum of promise to glean from her keeping on gradually for fourth on hurdles bow at Market Rasen (16.5f) 4 weeks ago. May do better. | |||
6th (7)  (2.25/1 +18%)Ramure |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ramure 2.25/1, Matched the pick of her form in France when runner-up in a couple of juvenile hurdles in September. Reportedly bled when pulled up at Fakenham in October but bounce back not ruled out. | |||
7th (1)  (22/1 +12%)Cirrus |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cirrus 22/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f) who didn't offer a great deal in a couple of juvenile hurdles at Fontwell in October/November. Again below par on the level latest and others appeal more. | |||
8th (2)  (150/1 -200%)Dooby |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dooby 150/1, Pearl Secret filly. Dam (b86) bumper winner, also 11f-2m winner on Flat. Easy to back and little short-term encouragement to glean from his recent Wetherby bumper debut effort. |

1st (1)  (2.12/1 -6%)Thyme White |
2.12/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thyme White 2.12/1, Matched his useful hurdle form when second on his Wincanton reappearance but he tried to run out and unseated at the first at Ascot since which suggests he perhaps isn't one for maximum faith. | |||
2nd (2)  (20/1 -25%)Nero Rock |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nero Rock 20/1, Ended his time with Mouse Morris with a couple of very disappointing efforts and his opening mark in Britain looks high enough even on his best form. | |||
3rd (5)  (4.5/1 -50%)Benny's Bridge |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Benny's Bridge 4.5/1, Has shaped as if retaining plenty of ability in 2 hurdle starts at Wetherby for new yard in recent months. Makes chase debut here. | |||
4th (6)  (2.25/1 +0%)Across The Line |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Across The Line 2.25/1, Dual hurdle winner who struck at third time of asking over fences at Southwell last month but he gave his supporters a few scares, looking reluctant before consenting to put it all in just in time. | |||
|PU| (3)  (3.5/1 +42%)Ballycallan Fame |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballycallan Fame 3.5/1, Sprung a 125/1 surprise in a Wetherby novice hurdle last Christmas. Showed that was no fluke when set for second until a final-flight fall there in March. Makes chase/handicap debut on return. | |||
|PU| (7)  (80/1 -264%)Uncle Henry |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uncle Henry 80/1, Fair hurdler for Gordon Elliott. Has to race from 3 lb out of the handicap on this chase/yard debut. |

1st (6)  (22/1 -22%)Sultans Pride |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sultans Pride 22/1, Enjoyed a productive 2020/21 season and, with cheekpieces on, returned to winning ways with another career-best effort at Kelso in November. Shaped as if amiss 5 weeks later so must bounce back. | |||
2nd (9)  (5/1 +9%)Moon King |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Moon King 5/1, Useful Flat stayer who landed Musselburgh maiden hurdle and Newcastle bumper last winter. Ran well despite mistakes when neck second on Chepstow handicap bow (23.6f) and similar form over C&D since. | |||
3rd (2)  (4/1 +50%)Small Present |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Small Present 4/1, Progressive handicap hurdler around 3m in the spring. Made an inauspicious start over fences on return but quickly put that behind him back hurdling on last 2 starts. Could have a say down 2 lb. | |||
4th (5)  (4/1 -14%)Skatman |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Skatman 4/1, Made it 2-2 over hurdles when making all in 2m novice at Newton Abbot in October but found things tougher switched to a competitive handicap at Cheltenham a month later. More needed but not dismissed. | |||
5th (4)  (12/1 -33%)Big Bad Bear |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Big Bad Bear 12/1, Course winner who shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when third at Musselburgh earlier this month, going well for a long way. Down 2 lb and merits consideration with that under his belt. | |||
|PU| (1)  (2.75/1 -10%)The Cob |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Cob 2.75/1, Relished combination of step up to 3m and slow ground when landing a Grade 2 novice over C&D in January. Probably even stepped up on that form when second in Sandown handicap on return. | |||
|PU| (7)  (5.5/1 +8%)Starsky |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Starsky 5.5/1, Successful over hurdles in 26f Warwick handicap in May and after a couple of spins over fences, proved at least as good as ever when scoring over C&D last month. Up 8 lb but warrants plenty respect. | |||
|PU| (8)  (40/1 -233%)Sammylou |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sammylou 40/1, Successful 3 times last season (at 26.5f) and enhanced good strike rate since returned to timber when landing Fontwell handicap (25.7f) in May. Offered little on return so step forward required. |

(3)  (9/1 -64%)Chirico Vallis |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chirico Vallis 9/1, Dual hurdle winner last season and put previous efforts in this sphere behind him when scoring by a narrow margin at Chepstow 81 days ago. Can go well again if his jumping holds up. | |||
1st (1)  (4.5/1 +18%)Kalooki |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kalooki 4.5/1, 4/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Newbury on return 32 days ago. Still not fully exposed as a chaser, and this is a less intense scenario than last time, so he's respected. | |||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 +0%)Cat Tiger |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cat Tiger 4.5/1, Classy chaser who won Leicester hunter in March and wasn't discredited on his next couple of starts. Entitled to come on for latest effort at Aintree and this mark isn't beyond him. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +33%)Cool Mix |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cool Mix 4/1, Proved very reliable last term and has looked as good as ever this time round, fourth in a handicap chase at Newcastle a month ago. Liable to give another good account. | |||
4th (4)  (12/1 +85%)Glen Forsa |
12/1(+85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glen Forsa 12/1, One-time very smart chaser for Mick Channon but not the force of old and was pulled up at Newcastle last time, so others make more appeal. | |||
|PU| (8)  (2.12/1 +79%)Oscar Robertson |
2.12/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Oscar Robertson 2.12/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Wetherby 35 days ago, easily. Still relatively lightly raced as a chaser and more to come if he can jump with the same fluency. | |||
|PU| (7)  (10/1 +50%)Danny Whizzbang |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Danny Whizzbang 10/1, Looked excellent prospect for Paul Nicholls when taking Grade 2 novice chase but failed to go on as expected. Moved yards and has showed no promise this season. | |||
|PU| (2)  (12/1 -20%)Port Of Mars |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Port Of Mars 12/1, Progressive over fences prior to being pulled up at Kelso when last seen in February. Has had a breathing operation since and remains with potential. |

(3)  (33/1 +0%)Hawthorn Cottage |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hawthorn Cottage 33/1, Put experience to good use when doubling chase tally at Kempton in November. However, put firmly in her place both starts since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. | |||
1st (1)  (1/1 +20%)Zambella |
1/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zambella 1/1, Winner of first 3 starts over fences in listed mares' events last term, and looked better than ever when landing another at Aintree (2½m, heavy) this month. Very much the one to beat. | |||
2nd (2)  (18/1 +28%)Crossgalesfamegame |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crossgalesfamegame 18/1, Left Fergal O'Brien for £14,000 after a heavy defeat over hurdles in the spring, but winner at second attempt in this sphere for new yard at Huntingdon (2½m, good) last month. This is much tougher. | |||
3rd (7)  (33/1 -32%)Schiaparannie |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Schiaparannie 33/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who got off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Southwell (24.3f, good) last month. Much more on her plate in this company, though. | |||
4th (6)  (6/1 -9%)Nada To Prada |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nada To Prada 6/1, Two wins from 4 hurdles starts and promising second on return/chase debut at Worcester. Failed to land a blow at Ffos Las (19.4f, soft) since, but she remains open to improvement. Cheekpieces added. | |||
5th (4)  (2.5/1 +9%)Kapga De Lily |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kapga De Lily 2.5/1, Likeable 8-y-o who has improved again this season, landing handicaps at Ascot (3m) and Hereford (25.2f). Now 7-10 over fences and she certainly doesn't look out of place in this grade. | |||
6th (5)  (10/1 -18%)Midnightreferendum |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Midnightreferendum 10/1, Useful mare who looked as good as ever when second in this grade at Market Rasen on return. Held when taking a heavy fall at the final fence at Aintree since, though, and vulnerable here. |

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.
