1st (5)  (3/1 +89%)Dev Of Tara |
3/1(+89%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dev Of Tara 3/1, Well held in Ireland and fared no better on first start for new stable in handicap at Uttoxeter 3 months ago. | |||
2nd (9)  (9/1 -50%)Ya Know Yaseff |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ya Know Yaseff 9/1, Successful sole start in Irish points. Has failed to improve for a switch to handicaps over hurdles and easily passed over despite first time tongue strap and cheekpieces. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.88/1 +83%)San Pedro |
1.88/1(+83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) San Pedro 1.88/1, Irish Flat winner who arrives in good nick, third in handicap at Fontwell 4 days ago. Should give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon. | |||
4th (10)  (16/1 +11%)Smart Boyo |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Smart Boyo 16/1, Little promise in trio of juvenile events and yet to fire in handicaps in this sphere. Cheekpieces and a tongue strap fitted, but others make more appeal despite him having been in good form on the level. | |||
5th (7)  (5/1 -122%)Shesupincourt |
5/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shesupincourt 5/1, Arrives on the back of 3 successive runner-up efforts in handicaps around 2¾m. Travelled notably strongly at Ffos Las last time. Likely to be thereabouts if she stays. | |||
6th (1)  (20/1 +29%)Ailes D'amour |
20/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ailes D'amour 20/1, Showed ability in bumpers/novice hurdles but has disappointed in 2 handicaps around 2½m 11 months apart. Too soon to write off but hard to fancy this time. | |||
7th (4)  (8.5/1 +39%)Another Mystery |
8.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Another Mystery 8.5/1, Point winner but has been out of sorts over fences, pulled up here last time. Visored for this return to hurdling. | |||
|PU| (3)  (14/1 +0%)Release The Kraken |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Release The Kraken 14/1, Modest maiden handicap hurdler for Nicky Richards but hasn't been firing of late, including over fences on penultimate outing. Others make more appeal. | |||
|PU| (8)  (80/1 -100%)Honest Oscar |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Honest Oscar 80/1, Is yet to show any ability in four runs, sixteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f) 59 days ago. Significantly up in trip for her handicap debut with lots to find. |

1st (2)  (7.5/1 -50%)Ben Buie |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ben Buie 7.5/1, Bagged a second success from his last 3 starts in 4-runner handicap chase at Leicester (15.9f, good to soft, 5/2) 36 days ago, responding well. Has good chance again off only 3 lb higher. | |||
2nd (7)  (16/1 +11%)Templier |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Templier 16/1, Went backwards from reappearance when pulled up in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, heavy, 13/2) 33 days ago. Others appeal more. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.62/1 +60%)Line Of Descent |
1.62/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Line Of Descent 1.62/1, Has taken well to fences, second at Fontwell (2m2f) only 4 days ago. Well in the mix off an unchanged mark. | |||
4th (4)  (5.5/1 -267%)Dondiam |
5.5/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dondiam 5.5/1, Point winner who fell 9th (hooded for 1st time) in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft, 11/4) on debut over fences 32 days ago. Should have more to offer and considered. | |||
5th (1)  (7/1 -40%)Mexican Boy |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mexican Boy 7/1, Still looking for first success but posted good second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 3/1) on debut over fences 65 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. | |||
6th (6)  (4.5/1 +63%)Uberman |
4.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uberman 4.5/1, 14/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 29 days ago on his final run for Katharine Davis. Needs yard switch to spark a resurgence. | |||
7th (8)  (33/1 +50%)Voice Of Hope |
33/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Voice Of Hope 33/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland in summer of 2021 but he has been well held in various company for this yard. | |||
|PU| (5)  (10/1 +38%)An Marcach |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) An Marcach 10/1, Winless since 2021 and arrives below par, sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Lingfield (22f, heavy) 43 days ago. Down in trip. Others more persuasive. |

1st (5)  (1.88/1 +25%)Brandisova |
1.88/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brandisova 1.88/1, Much better effort in handicaps when second of 8 at Lingfield and backed that up when filling same spot at Catterick. 2 lb lower now so could well go one place better. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.5/1 +44%)Doireann |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Doireann 2.5/1, Had wind surgery before posting a good second in 23f Fakenham handicap on return in November. Ran poorly at Plumpton next time, though, and headgear applied in a bid to shed her maiden tag. | |||
3rd (1)  (4/1 +27%)Brianna Rose |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brianna Rose 4/1, Winner at Southwell in December 2021. Pair of good placed efforts there first 2 starts this season but not seen since falling heavily at same course in June. | |||
4th (6)  (7.5/1 +25%)Redbridge Rosie |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Redbridge Rosie 7.5/1, Modest form at best in 4 starts over hurdles and novicey mistakes when third on chase bow at Fakenham. Back over hurdles now and mark on the decline at least. | |||
5th (3)  (9/1 -170%)Desert Fortune |
9/1(-170%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Desert Fortune 9/1, £80,000 buy after easily winning her second start in Irish points in January. Runner-up in a bumper at Plumpton and has looked a handicap project over hurdles, so better expected now. | |||
|PU| (2)  (20/1 -82%)Chic Avenue |
20/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chic Avenue 20/1, Modest in bumpers and similar story in maiden hurdles around 2m. Possible a longer trip will spark improvement now handicapping but her opening mark is tough enough on the face of things. | |||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 -57%)Ratoute Yutty |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ratoute Yutty 22/1, Goes well at Huntingdon, resuming winning ways in mares' handicap there under this rider in May. Not disgraced there following month but off since. | |||
|PU| (8)  (200/1 -33%)Woodford Bridge |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Woodford Bridge 200/1, No sign of ability. |

1st (6)  (1.5/1 +14%)Sergeant Wilson |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sergeant Wilson 1.5/1, Clear-cut winner of Taunton bumper in March. Fairly useful form when placed in 2 maiden hurdles in November but disappointed when down the field on handicap debut at Market Rasen (19f) on Boxing Day. Raced freely on that occasion and this drop back to 2m and addition of a hood may help. | |||
2nd (2)  (33/1 -32%)Enthused |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Enthused 33/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat but has shown nothing both starts over hurdles. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.5/1 +9%)Jaramillo |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jaramillo 2.5/1, Useful but quirky sort on Flat for Roger Varian. Improved efforts over hurdles when placed in maiden/novice company before Christmas. Ran poorly back in a handicap at Wincanton on Boxing Day though, so bounce back called for. | |||
4th (7)  (3/1 -50%)Treyarnon Bay |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Treyarnon Bay 3/1, Created a good impression when landing a mares bumper on her yard debut at Southwell in May. Failed to meet expectations sent hurdling after 7 months off at Huntingdon in December but that was a much warmer race than this and she should improve. | |||
5th (4)  (100/1 -150%)Olly's Folly |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Olly's Folly 100/1, Modest maiden hurdler who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one at Warwick back in October. Hard to fancy. | |||
6th (1)  (150/1 +0%)Broughtons Mission |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Broughtons Mission 150/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 9.5f), down the field last time. Easily passed over making hurdling debut in hood and tongue strap combination. | |||
7th (5)  (6.5/1 +28%)Pistoletto |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pistoletto 6.5/1, Useful at best on Flat (stays 1½m), below form on all-weather last 2 starts. Could have a say if taking to this new discipline. |

1st (6)  (7/1 +50%)Cloudy Wednesday |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cloudy Wednesday 7/1, Runner-up in novice handicap hurdle at Fakenham (2m4f) in May but below that level in his 4 subsequent outings, including back over fences at Huntingdon (23.6f) 6 days ago. | |||
2nd (5)  (6/1 -20%)Auditoria |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Auditoria 6/1, Fair hurdler won mares' novice at Catterick last winter but hasn't yet matched that form over fences, well held fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (25.2f) in December. Mark has eased a little more at least if blinkers have desired effect. | |||
3rd (3)  (4/1 -45%)Camulus |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Camulus 4/1, Ex-pointer (half brother to Irish National winner Freewheelin Dylan) who showed plenty of ability only start in bumpers last spring. Fair form at best without getting his head infront in 4 starts over hurdles this campaign but feasible to think he could do better over fences. | |||
4th (2)  (1.75/1 -7%)Bolsover Bill |
1.75/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bolsover Bill 1.75/1, Comes here in fine fettle, completing the hat-trick in emphatic fashion at Ffos Las (2m) 2 starts back prior to a good second at Catterick (19.2f) 8 days ago. Has to be of interest again operating from same mark. | |||
|PU| (4)  (3.5/1 +59%)Getabuck |
3.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Getabuck 3.5/1, Maiden who has fallen plenty in weights and confirmed he retains plenty of ability when third at Market Rasen (19f) 2 starts ago. Ran well for a long way (finished tired) when third at Huntingdon (23.6f) 38 days ago and fancied to give a good account back down in trip. | |||
|PU| (1)  (18/1 -13%)The Knot Is Tied |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Knot Is Tied 18/1, Fair winner over hurdles who returned to form from out the blue to score over fences at Lingfield (2m) in December. However, he's produced a couple of moddy efforts both starts since. Blinkers go back on now. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 -136%)Country Kitten |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Country Kitten 33/1, Point winner but well held all 3 starts in mares' maiden hurdles last summer. Was in process of showing a bit more than previously when falling 4 out on chase debut here (3m) 32 days ago and this ought to reveal more. |

1st (3)  (1.88/1 +16%)Pachacuti |
1.88/1(+16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pachacuti 1.88/1, Strong in the betting and showed improved from when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, heavy) 17 days ago, coming clear with a course specialist. 3 lb higher now but appeals as leading player again. | |||
2nd (8)  (3.5/1 +13%)Bashers Reflection |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bashers Reflection 3.5/1, Well backed and showed improved form for the step up in trip when getting off the mark in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, heavy, 4/1) 33 days ago, going enthusiastically and rallying well to fend off challenger late. Should go well again from 9 lb higher mark. | |||
3rd (7)  (40/1 +39%)Lifetime Legend |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lifetime Legend 40/1, Fairly useful maiden on the level in Ireland and some promise in juvenile hurdles for present yard last winter but has seemingly completely lost his way last term and he's impossible to fancy on recent showings. | |||
4th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Sister Sophie |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sister Sophie 33/1, Outran odds of 50/1 to finish second at Chepstow on her hurdles debut and wasn't too far off that level when seventh at Ffos Las on next start. Down the field at Wincanton last time though, and opening mark looks very stiff. | |||
5th (2)  (4/1 +56%)Small Bad Bob |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Small Bad Bob 4/1, Three-time winner last season ran his best race of this campaign when third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. Now 7 lb below last winning mark and no surprise to see him go well again. | |||
6th (9)  (22/1 -10%)Hermes Le Gris |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hermes Le Gris 22/1, Promise when second at Warwick on hurdling debut in May but hasn't come close to matching that form this winter, showing no benfit for recent wind-op when only eighth of 17 on handicap bow last month. Lots to prove at present. | |||
7th (11)  (18/1 -29%)Ten Past Midnight |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ten Past Midnight 18/1, Landed hat-trick last season. Also won at Southwell in June and held form over hurdles well later into the summer, though could barely have shown any less on chase debut when last seen. Interesting if ready to to go after 128-day break. | |||
8th (5)  (6/1 +50%)Supreme Yeats |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Supreme Yeats 6/1, Cosy winner at Southwell in November but possibly found run coming too quickly when last of 5 in handicap hurdle there (20.4f) 59 days ago. Not dismissed after a break. | |||
9th (1)  (28/1 -155%)Boreen Boy |
28/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boreen Boy 28/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Uttoxeter in April and ran at least as well in defeat when runner-up in a 3-runner event at Market Rasen when last seen seen 8 months ago. Will need to be sharp to win this on return. | |||
10th (6)  (80/1 -400%)Ambassador |
80/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ambassador 80/1, Fairly useful at best for Dan Skelton in 2021 but hasn't showed anything in a pair of starts for this yard after 16-month break, including on the Flat last time. | |||
11th (10)  (10/1 -186%)Uncle Arthur |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Uncle Arthur 10/1, Landed 6-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in June and showed his first form over obstacles when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 20/1) 24 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and could build on that. |

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.
