1st (7)  (0.5/1 +80%)Snipe |
0.5/1(+80%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Snipe 0.5/1, Third sole outing in Irish points and has shown promise all 3 runs over hurdles, yet to be asked for his effort when fell heavily 3 out in 3m Southwell handicap last time. Remains with potential. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.5/1 +38%)Keable |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Keable 2.5/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Sixth on his only start in Irish points but plenty of encouragement to glean from last month's fourth in 21f Ludlow maiden hurdle, keeping on gradually. Rates a sure-fire improver. | |||
3rd (1)  (25/1 +50%)Blackwater |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blackwater 25/1, Went backwards from hurdling bow when ninth of 15 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 43 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott with work to do. | |||
4th (2)  (9/1 +59%)Hurricane Le Dun |
9/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hurricane Le Dun 9/1, Opening Chepstow seventh over hurdles wasn't devoid of promise but this is a tough assignment. | |||
5th (4)  (50/1 +0%)King Codi |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Codi 50/1, Not much encouragement shown when fifth and eighth in bumpers here. Goes hurdling and others make more appeal. |

(7)  (14/1 -180%)Jukebox D'Eddy |
14/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jukebox D'Eddy 14/1, Showed a bit in a French bumper and at the third time of asking over hurdles for new connections when fifth in 2m Wetherby maiden last month. May do better in handicaps. | |||
1st (2)  (2.25/1 +18%)Auba Me Yang |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Auba Me Yang 2.25/1, Hasn't bettered modest form in bumpers/novice hurdles but it's possible he'll fare better now handicapping. | |||
2nd (8)  (1.62/1 +7%)Modreeney |
1.62/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Modreeney 1.62/1, Fair Irish bumper winner. Little impact over hurdles last season but much more encouraging signs with a tongue strap added in a Taunton handicap on reappearance, holding every chance when falling last. Big player if in similar form. | |||
3rd (9)  (10/1 +17%)Invincible De Mee |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Invincible De Mee 10/1, Showed ability in French bumpers but tailed off in 3 quick novice hurdle runs for new yard in December. Clearly more chance now handicapping, though, and well worth a betting check. | |||
4th (4)  (9/1 +64%)Girandole |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Girandole 9/1, Modest at best on the Flat and, while he showed something in juvenile hurdles last season, his recent efforts have been uninspiring. | |||
5th (3)  (6.5/1 +35%)Imperial Measure |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Imperial Measure 6.5/1, Just minor promise in bumper/over hurdles but could come into his own now handicapping. One to note in the betting. | |||
|PU| (5)  (8/1 -23%)Knowwhentorun |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Knowwhentorun 8/1, Fair maiden on Flat. Below that level in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles but he's another in this line-up who could make more of an impact now handicapping. |

1st (2)  (1.62/1 +1%)Heltenham |
1.62/1(+1%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Heltenham 1.62/1, Ex-French bumper winner who has improved with each of his three runs over fences, landing 20f Newcastle handicap 45 days ago. Open to further improvement. Big player despite 7 lb rise. | |||
2nd (6)  (2/1 +11%)How's The Cricket |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) How's The Cricket 2/1, Made a winning start over fences over C&D in October and bettered that form when second in 23f Taunton handicap last time. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. | |||
3rd (5)  (11/1 +8%)Icone D'aubrelle |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Icone D'aubrelle 11/1, Won juvenile hurdle at Bordeaux for A. Boisbrunet and similar form in 3 runs for his current yard, cheekpieces on when fifth in Cheltenham novice 10 months ago. No forlorn hope now going chasing. | |||
4th (1)  (22/1 +12%)Whydah Gally |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whydah Gally 22/1, Front-running fairly useful hurdler who has won his last 2 completed starts in that sphere. Let down by his jumping on both chasing starts at Plumpton and Taunton so has something to prove. | |||
5th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Pageant Material |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pageant Material 16/1, Arrives in good nick over hurdles, landing handicap here last month. Held back by her jumping when fourth here on chasing debut so more is needed. | |||
6th (4)  (4.5/1 +25%)Oneupmanship |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oneupmanship 4.5/1, Fair hurdler who was in the process of making a good first attempt over fences when falling at Ffos Las in December. Looked rusty after 10 months off when eighth at Lingfield on his yard debut so should step forward now. | |||
7th (3)  (25/1 -285%)Hidor De Bersy |
25/1(-285%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidor De Bersy 25/1, Fair winning hurdler who made a promising start over fences when second of 6 in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f) on return. Chance-ending mistake at Fontwell on Boxing Day and worth another chance. |

1st (7)  (5.5/1 -10%)Wick Green |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wick Green 5.5/1, Multiple point winner who scored a couple of times under Rules in 2021 and could be interesting on his first start for Ben Pauling, particularly if the market vibes are strong. | |||
2nd (3)  (3/1 +0%)Dentley De Mee |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dentley De Mee 3/1, Made solid start for this yard (after 20-month absence) when second in handicap chase over C&D in November and was only just touched off here off same mark last month. Remains fairly treated and is a must for any shortlist. | |||
3rd (8)  (28/1 -40%)Holdbacktheriver |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Holdbacktheriver 28/1, Runner-up over hurdles here on return but it's been slim pickings in terms of positive showings from him otherwise recently. On lenient mark if able to recapture his fairly useful best but others looks more convincing. Tongue strap on first time. | |||
4th (2)  (2.75/1 +8%)Bobmahley |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bobmahley 2.75/1, Back to winning ways when taking 10-runner handicap chase over C&D (soft, 5/1) 17 days ago, well on top finish. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards. | |||
5th (1)  (22/1 -22%)Haut Folin |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Haut Folin 22/1, Successful twice in France last term but shown very little in 2 starts for new connections here thus far. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4.5/1 +31%)Pilot Show |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pilot Show 4.5/1, Point winner who improved on hurdles form to make a successful debut over fences at Catterick (25.3f) in December and ran creditably when 13 lengths fourth of 10 to Bobmahley in handicap chase over C&D since. Others look better treated, though. | |||
|PU| (6)  (6/1 +25%)Investment Manager |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Investment Manager 6/1, Fair winner at 21.5f over hurdles but hasn't really built on his promising chase bow at this course in either outing since. Handicapper is relenting at least, though. | |||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 -200%)Ballaquane |
18/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballaquane 18/1, Bettered hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when landing a 4-runner Fontwell handicap (21.6f) on return in November. 2 lb rise fair enough but he doesn't look entirely straightforward and is probably worth taking on this time. |

1st (4)  (7/1 -8%)Bumpy Johnson |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bumpy Johnson 7/1, Fontwell bumper wunner who has made the frame on several occasions in this sphere, including when fourth of 12 over C&D on return in October. Misfired in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Taunton a month later but given a break/wind op since and he's not discounted. | |||
2nd (2)  (33/1 -50%)Issam |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Issam 33/1, Winner of a bumper and also successful twice over hurdles in France. Little impact in 2 starts on this side of the Channel (both at around 2m), though, and hopes pinned on the step up in trip/refitting of a tongue strap working the oracle here. | |||
3rd (6)  (6.5/1 -44%)Ballydisco |
6.5/1(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ballydisco 6.5/1, Maiden Irish pointer who improved on hurdling debut when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in December. Failed to reproduce that level of form at Chepstow next time but could go well for last year's winning yard now upped in trip for this handicap bow. | |||
4th (1)  (4/1 +11%)Militaire |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Militaire 4/1, Fair form in bumper and encouraging second on C&D hurdles debut in October. By no means disgraced at Cheltenham on New Year's Day but beaten a fair way back here recently and improvement is needed now pitched into a handicap. | |||
5th (3)  (5/1 +38%)Watergrange Jack |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Watergrange Jack 5/1, Irish bumper winner who opened his hurdles account in good style over C&D last summer. Shaped as though returning to the boil when third at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and he needs a second look. | |||
6th (5)  (14/1 -27%)Oxygen |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Oxygen 14/1, Winner of a newcomers' event over hurdles in France in 2021. No show in 2 starts for present connections so far but his mark is on the slide and he's certainly not one to write off just yet. | |||
7th (10)  (14/1 +50%)Jaunty Viking |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jaunty Viking 14/1, Off the mark in 2¾m handicap here in June 2021 prior to a string of creditable efforts in defeat. However, ended last season on a low-key note and entitled to need the run following 9 months off. | |||
8th (11)  (5.5/1 +8%)Turning Gold |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Turning Gold 5.5/1, Third success at Leicester when bolting up in a selling hurdle there (20.5f, heavy) at the end of December. On a workable mark returned to handicap company and he has to be high on any shortlist. Cheekpieces refitted. | |||
9th (9)  (6.5/1 +7%)Zero Tolerance |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zero Tolerance 6.5/1, Placed in an Irish bumper for Charles O'Brien and has made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts switched to hurdles for present yard. Needs to improve now moving into handicap company but it's entirely possible that he'll do just that. | |||
10th (8)  (40/1 -100%)Shalakar |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shalakar 40/1, Didn't show much on sole appearance (over fences) last season following an absence of almost 3 years, and fared no better back hurdling on return at Leicester in December. Oxygen appears to be the stable first-string. | |||
|PU| (7)  (10/1 +9%)Poker Master |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Poker Master 10/1, Won 3 on the bounce last season and progressed again on first 2 starts of present campaign, landing back-to-back 20.7f handicaps at Huntingdon. Bubble burst back at the same course last time, though, and he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. |

(5)  (80/1 -21%)Gilwen Rosie |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gilwen Rosie 80/1, 125/1, well held in a Wincanton bumper on her Boxing Day debut. | |||
1st (3)  (3.33/1 +52%)Ah Whisht |
3.33/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ah Whisht 3.33/1, Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Hear No Evil (19f-3m winner) and half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Shush. Bought for £145,000 after winning her sole Irish point in November. Interesting runner on Rules debut. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.3/1 +78%)Royale Dance |
0.3/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Royale Dance 0.3/1, Promising type. Won 2m Hexham novice on hurdle debut/reappearance in November and bettered that form when second under a penalty at Ludlow (21f) the following month. Subsequently underwent wind surgery. Likely capable of better again for top stable. | |||
3rd (6)  (33/1 -18%)Houston Calling |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Houston Calling 33/1, Well bred but didn't offer enough in her 2 bumpers to suggest she's likely to play a prominent role on this hurdle debut. | |||
4th (7)  (14/1 +0%)Picnic In The Park |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Picnic In The Park 14/1, In good hands but she beat only one home on her bumper debut 5 weeks ago. Can only be watched after that. |

1st (4)  (2/1 +20%)Envoye Special |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Envoye Special 2/1, Fairly useful chaser who ran his best race in hunters when landing a 7-runner event at Cheltenham 9 months ago. Won between the flags subsequently and can make his presence felt if tuned up. | |||
2nd (1)  (3.5/1 -40%)Drop Flight |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Drop Flight 3.5/1, Fair winning chaser in France. Absent for 13 months before a respectable third on hunter debut at Taunton a month ago and shouldn't be discounted. | |||
3rd (5)  (2.25/1 -13%)Acey Milan |
2.25/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Acey Milan 2.25/1, Fairly useful chaser. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 9 months ago. Has gone well fresh in the past and makes plenty of appeal. | |||
|PU| (2)  (7.5/1 -25%)No Getaway |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) No Getaway 7.5/1, Useful chaser. 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, refused in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Dan Skelton. Cheekpieces on 1st time. | |||
|PU| (7)  (12/1 +82%)I Often Wonder |
12/1(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) I Often Wonder 12/1, Point winner but his Rules form in Ireland is uninspiring. | |||
|PU| (8)  (25/1 -79%)Ofalltheginjoints |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ofalltheginjoints 25/1, Proved more miss than hit over fences for the Tizzards last year (pulled up at Southwell in May) and he failed to complete on yard debut between the Flags on New Year's Day. Others make more appeal on balance. | |||
|PU| (3)  (66/1 -136%)Candy Burg |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Candy Burg 66/1, Below form when last seen under Rules and little show in a couple of points subsequently. So others make more appeal. | |||
|PU| (6)  (125/1 -25%)Caveat Emptor |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Caveat Emptor 125/1, Point winner (fell last time in April 2022) but he'll need to improve markedly on what he's done under Rules if he's to compete. |

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.
