1st (1)  (22/1 -159%)Pride Of Lecale |
22/1(-159%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pride Of Lecale 22/1, Bumper/hurdle winner who has failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts, too free when pulled up on back of a wind op over hurdles last month. Market may guide back over fences. Hooded. | |||
2nd (7)  (10/1 +9%)Shaw's Cross |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shaw's Cross 10/1, Losing run mounting up over hurdles but recent exploits have contained some promise, weakening only after a late blunder at Warwick (21f) last month. Mark eased further ahead of chasing bow. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.25/1 +38%)Templier |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Templier 1.25/1, Fallen plenty in weights and ended long losing run at Warwick (2m) on New Year's Eve, jumping on 4 out and winning easily. Has to merit serious consideration under a penalty. | |||
4th (2)  (10/1 -18%)Lots Of Luck |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lots Of Luck 10/1, Made a winning return over C&D last autumn prior to hitting frame on 3 of next 5 starts. Never figured returning from 9 months at Fontwell in December but bounce back not ruled out from reduced mark. | |||
5th (12)  (125/1 -56%)Yourholidayisover |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Yourholidayisover 125/1, Irresolute veteran who boasts a very poor strike rate and doesn't make any appeal. | |||
6th (5)  (12/1 +0%)No Quarter Asked |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) No Quarter Asked 12/1, Course winner (19.4f) from 3 lb higher mark back in June but record somewhat predictably more miss than hit since, pulled up at Market Rasen (19f) in December. Fitting of a visor may sharpen him up. | |||
7th (9)  (5/1 -25%)Kingston King |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kingston King 5/1, Off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot (25.7f) in June and back to winning ways under an attacking ride at Bangor (17.3f) last month, closed down only late when idling. Live player once more. | |||
|F| (4)  (14/1 -56%)Ring The Moon |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ring The Moon 14/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps fitted with cheekpieces/tongue tie (at up to 21.6f) last winter. Pulled up final start and understandably looked rusty on return from 9 months off here in November. | |||
|U| (8)  (14/1 +65%)Glance Back |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Glance Back 14/1, Four-time chase winner who has largely struggled to make an impact, albeit shaping better than previously this term when fourth at Bangor (20.3f) last month. Needs to build on that now. | |||
|PU| (11)  (9/1 +10%)Cobra Commander |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cobra Commander 9/1, Still without a win but hit the frame on 5 of his 6 starts last term and likely he will strip fitter for last month's Ludlow return/on back of a wind op. Not out of things for each-way purposes. | |||
|PU| (10)  (28/1 -250%)Jeu De Mots |
28/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jeu De Mots 28/1, Doubled chase tally at Cartmel in 2019 and first form for a while when runner-up over hurdles at Sedgefield in March. Let down by jumping later that month and has since left Dianne Sayer. | |||
|PU| (3)  (100/1 -233%)Judge Earle |
100/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Judge Earle 100/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner who proved easy to back and ultimately offered little when sixth of 8 on return from 30 months off here in December. Tongue tie discarded now but not the easiest to weigh up | |||
|PU| (13)  (200/1 -100%)Peggyclare |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Peggyclare 200/1, Limited mare who looks firmly up against it from out of the weights. |

2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Natural History 2.75/1, Back to something like his smart Flat form when hacking up in 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle last March. Disappointing since, but edging down the weights and couldn't rule out if settling down. | |||
(6)  (40/1 +0%)Applesandpierres |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Applesandpierres 40/1, Won in France in 2020 but showing little nowadays, well beaten back on these shores at Bangor 26 days ago. | |||
1st (1)  (3/1 +14%)Howdyalikemenow |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Howdyalikemenow 3/1, Fair maiden in Ireland who has improved upon joining this stable, landing Stratford novice prior to defying a penalty at Fakenham in October. Not beaten far on handicap bow and this less competitive. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.38/1 +45%)Wicked West |
1.38/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wicked West 1.38/1, Improved model for new stable, winning maiden/novice events (including over C&D) last year. Poor start in handicaps but bounced back to his best when third at Lingfield recently. Shortlisted. | |||
3rd (7)  (3.33/1 +33%)Sabbathical |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sabbathical 3.33/1, In good form over fences in recent weeks, second at Ffos Las before easily going one better at Fakenham in November. Creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) since. | |||
4th (3)  (12/1 +14%)Eamon An Cnoic |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eamon An Cnoic 12/1, Classy chaser on his day and proved a lot more reliable in a busy spell early last year. Finished well held back over hurdles at Exeter last month so others appeal more. | |||
5th (5)  (50/1 -127%)Higgs |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Higgs 50/1, Dual winner is proving expensive to follow, producing his best effort when runner-up at Southwell 17 months ago. Has rejoined former yard and watching brief advised on return. | |||
6th (8)  (20/1 -67%)Sirop De Menthe |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sirop De Menthe 20/1, Course winner who is without a win for over 5 years, and he's offered little on his last three runs. His mark is sliding but it's easy to look elsewhere after 10 months off the track. |

(5)  (4.5/1 +0%)Downtown Getaway |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Downtown Getaway 4.5/1, Useful winner over hurdles and left first 2 chase runs well behind when taking advantage of his reduced mark over C&D 20 days ago. Needs to prove he can string good runs together now. | |||
(2)  (9/1 +0%)Barnaviddaun |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barnaviddaun 9/1, Progressive Irish hurdler for Thomas Mullins who is built for fences but unseated his rider after blundering 3 out at Newbury 21 days ago. May do better. | |||
1st (6)  (10/1 -43%)New Age Dawning |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) New Age Dawning 10/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts during 2018/19, including a 3m Chepstow novice hurdle. Pulled up in an Exeter handicap chase on his return from a 33-month absence so can only really be watched at present. | |||

0.73/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gustavian 0.73/1, Dual hurdles winner last term and promising start over fences following a wind op when third in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap. Got no further than the first at Exeter since but worth another chance. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.38/1 +45%)Emir Sacree |
1.38/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Emir Sacree 1.38/1, Handicap hurdle winner last winter on coming over from France and bettered that form when making all in Carlisle chase on return. Good second at Doncaster since, although he did make late mistakes. |

2nd (1)  (0.83/1 +40%)Getaweapon |
0.83/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Getaweapon 0.83/1, Fairly useful hurdler who got back on track in a first-time tongue strap after 9 weeks off when second in 7-runner handicap at Exeter (18.5f, heavy, 5/1) 4 days ago. Can go one better here. | |||
3rd (4)  (6/1 +40%)Get An Oscar |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Get An Oscar 6/1, Perked up by change of headgear when runner-up at Worcester (23f) in August but disappointing since and others make more appeal. | |||

8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) So Socksy 8/1, Winning pointer who ran creditably in a first-time tongue strap when second of 4 on handicap debut here (23.9f) 20 days ago, but that's probably just as good as she is. | |||
5th (3)  (3.5/1 +13%)Fashion's Model |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fashion's Model 3.5/1, Won sole start in Irish points and shaped with some on the second of 3 starts over hurdles. May do better now handicapping from a low base. |

5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Echo Watt 5/1, Three-time chaser winner but well below par on both starts this term, finishing a remote third at Warwick latterly. Mark on the decline but need to see more. | |||

14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Robin Of Sherwood 14/1, Successful at Warwick in April. Just as good when runner-up here in May but not in the same form since, although he may have needed his latest outing after 6 months off. | |||

7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Red Lion Lad 7/1, €155,000 buy after winning sole Irish point. Fair form over hurdles last term and might have needed the run on his Uttoxeter chase/handicap debut last month. Cheekpieces on. Open to progress. | |||

8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Claude 8/1, Looked green when fifth of 10 in bumper (3/1) at Uttoxeter but failed to improve for that experience when eighth at Chepstow 32 days ago. Tongue strap on now. | |||

6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bobalot 6/1, Camelot gelding who offered a hint of ability when sixth in a Chepstow bumper first time out. Will need to improve a good deal if he's to feature in this, though. | |||
3rd (4)  (0.44/1 +23%)Hunter Legend |
0.44/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hunter Legend 0.44/1, Half-brother to 3 winners and made a positive start when third in a stronger event than this at Exeter 33 days ago. Open to improvement, with an emphasis on stamina likely to suit, so obvious claims. | |||

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.
