1st (3)  (5/1 +9%)Treasure Dillon |
5/1(+9%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Treasure Dillon 5/1, Chepstow winner off 5 lb higher in 2019. Shaped as if retaining ability after 21 months off there 4 weeks ago and interesting contender with that run under his belt and headgear re-fitted. | |||
2nd (7)  (11/1 -10%)Auenwirbel |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Auenwirbel 11/1, Modest hurdler who took advantage of handy mark when landing a 19f selling handicap at Taunton in February. Shaped quite well when fifth at Lingfield on return and not taken lightly. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.1/1 -64%)Be The Difference |
1.1/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Be The Difference 1.1/1, Big improvement to win last 2 starts at Ayr, landing the odds with a bit to spare under a penalty last month. 11 lb higher now but remains of interest. | |||
4th (8)  (11/1 +21%)Timeforadance |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Timeforadance 11/1, Poor form, offering little after 6 months off at Hereford. Tongue strap on for 1st time/cheekpieces on for 1st time. | |||
5th (2)  (7.5/1 -15%)Lettie Lutz |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lettie Lutz 7.5/1, Sent off a big price but promising start when third in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow and backed that up when fourth at Exeter. Should have more to offer stepped up in trip on handicap bow. | |||
6th (4)  (22/1 +33%)Maggies Mogul |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Maggies Mogul 22/1, Point winner who shaped well in Ffos Las bumper on Rules debut. However, no show in 4 starts over hurdles since, including on handicap debut. Headgear now tried. | |||
7th (6)  (11/1 +31%)Steel Native |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Steel Native 11/1, Snapped a long losing run back hurdling here (3m) in a first-time tongue strap in February. Well held back over fences since, including on return, but could bounce back returned to this sphere. | |||
|U| (5)  (6.5/1 +59%)Golden Glory |
6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Golden Glory 6.5/1, Maiden who ended last season with 2 poor efforts but shaped as if retaining ability after 8 months off when fourth at Ludlow and entitled to come on for that. Headgear applied. |

1st (1)  (0.73/1 +55%)Fine Casting |
0.73/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fine Casting 0.73/1, Put experience to good use when making all in Newbury bumper and stepped up on hurdling debut effort when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month. Rates as a likely improver dropped back down in trip. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.2/1 -42%)Port Or Starboard |
3.2/1(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Port Or Starboard 3.2/1, Fair maiden on Flat who made quite a promising start over hurdles when second in a C&D novice last month. Filled the same spot 10 days later and every chance of featuring with cheekpieces applied. | |||
3rd (7)  (6/1 -60%)Spike Jones |
6/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spike Jones 6/1, Fair bumper winner who showed plenty to work on when fifth behind the re-opposing Port Or Starboard in a novice over this C&D on hurdling bow 29 days ago. More to come, so warrants consideration. | |||
4th (5)  (6/1 -33%)Pilgrims King |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pilgrims King 6/1, Progressive in 3 starts in bumpers so far, finishing second of 8 at this C&D back in May. Has the scope to make an above-average jumper in time so worth a market check on hurdles debut. | |||
5th (8)  (125/1 -89%)Vians Hill |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vians Hill 125/1, Looks to be being brought along gradually, running-on eighth of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago. | |||
6th (4)  (80/1 -21%)Noter Le |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Noter Le 80/1, Offered little on both starts over hurdles at Chepstow so far, finishing with running left without being knocked about on latest. Looks a handicap project so others appeal more on qualifying run. | |||
7th (9)  (250/1 -67%)Pennant Empress |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pennant Empress 250/1, Lucarno half-sister to hurdler Pennant Dance who offered little when well held on hurdles bow over C&D 29 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere once again. |

(7)  (7/1 +13%)Poldark Cross |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Poldark Cross 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. 9/4, close up to 3 out when pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (24f) on his debut over fences 51 days ago. Remains with some potential. | |||
1st (4)  (22/1 -22%)Downtown Getaway |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Downtown Getaway 22/1, Useful winner over hurdles, but he's yet to match that form in two runs over fences, tongue strap on when pulled up in 3m handicap at Chepstow 12 days ago. Has it to prove now. | |||
2nd (6)  (8.5/1 -21%)Party Fuzz |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Party Fuzz 8.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who signed off with good fourth in novice at Exeter (23.1f) in the spring. Returns for his chase debut and he can't be discounted. | |||
4th (8)  (4/1 +11%)Honorary Colonel |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Honorary Colonel 4/1, 16/1, made encouraging chasing bow when second of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (20f) 21 days ago. Should improve, and he's well in the mix. | |||
5th (5)  (16/1 -100%)El Paso Wood |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) El Paso Wood 16/1, Notched up 4-timer in the French Provinces this autumn. Had wind op before unseated rider 2nd on yard bow in handicap chase at Aintree (25.8f) 12 days ago. Weighted to go well here if none the worse. | |||
|B| (2)  (3/1 +33%)Ashfield Paddy |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ashfield Paddy 3/1, Back over fences with good second of 11 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f) 36 days ago, despite jumping none too fluently. Merits consideration despite 3 lb rise. | |||
|F| (3)  (3/1 +14%)Oneupmanship |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oneupmanship 3/1, Made encouraging return when fourth in 3m handicap hurdle here 39 days ago. Real chasing type, so he's an interesting prospect now sent over fences. |

1st (4)  (2.5/1 +44%)Bowtogreatness |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bowtogreatness 2.5/1, Fair form in bumpers and upsides Lydford Lad when falling 3 out over C&D on hurdling debut. Hard to know how things would have panned out but he's 7 lb better off with that rival, now. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.25/1 -63%)Dalamoi |
2.25/1(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dalamoi 2.25/1, Well-bred individual who confirmed bumper promise when making a winning start over hurdles in a 2m novice at this course last month. Longer trip will suit, and he's up to defying a penalty. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.33/1 -11%)Crossing The Bar |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Crossing The Bar 3.33/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Sir Michael Stoute and showed aptitude for hurdling when fourth in novice at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Plenty of improvement on the cards. | |||
4th (8)  (50/1 -52%)Pageant Material |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pageant Material 50/1, Just a hint of promise in a bumper and novice hurdle to date. Longer trip should help, but he appeals as more of a slow-burner. | |||
5th (2)  (3.5/1 +13%)Lydford Lad |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lydford Lad 3.5/1, Showed ability on only start in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind when landing an 8-runner novice over C&D 39 days ago. Penalty makes life tougher, but he could step forward again. | |||
7th (3)  (14/1 +36%)Boston Joe |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Boston Joe 14/1, Placed in points, but has looked more of a longer-term project under Rules to this point. | |||
8th (7)  (100/1 -52%)Meechlands Magic |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Meechlands Magic 100/1, Stepped up on his previous exploits in bumpers on much more testing ground than previously when fourth at Newton Abbot in November but was too keen on hurdling debut in C&D novice last time. |

1.88/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Coquelicot 1.88/1, Triple bumper winner who left previous hurding efforts behind when landing a 5-runner handicap at Chepstow in first-time blinkers 43 days ago. Obvious claims despite 7-lb rise. | |||
1st (1)  (1.75/1 +36%)Anythingforlove |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anythingforlove 1.75/1, Three from five as a novice hurdler last season and now returns to this sphere following an underwhelming start to chasing. Not completely dismissed. | |||
2nd (5)  (12/1 +64%)So Socksy |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) So Socksy 12/1, :Winning pointer at sixth attempt but yet to offer much encouragement under Rules. Tongue tied for her handicap debut. | |||
3rd (4)  (0.73/1 +71%)Credo |
0.73/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Credo 0.73/1, Point winner who looked useful when winning both bumper starts in the spring. Lacked a change of gear when third first two starts over hurdles but upped further in trip for handicap bow. | |||
4th (2)  (11/1 -47%)Another Theatre |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Another Theatre 11/1, Better than ever when resuming winning ways over hurdles at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March. Disappointing since, however, including back over fences at Sandown 16 days ago. Bit to prove. |

1st (3)  (4/1 -60%)Danilo D'airy |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Danilo D'airy 4/1, No show over hurdles, but this former point winner has looked an entirely different proposition since switched to fences, making it 2-2 in this sphere at Warwick when last seen in May. Big player. | |||
2nd (1)  (22/1 -57%)Petite Power |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Petite Power 22/1, Majority of his efforts last term were below par and little impact in 2 starts this season having rejoined former yard. | |||
3rd (6)  (2.75/1 +54%)One Fer Mamma |
2.75/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) One Fer Mamma 2.75/1, Posted much his best effort to date when going close in a handicap hurdle upped to 3m at Haydock recently. Just 1 lb higher for this chase debut and will be a threat if his jumping passes the test. | |||
4th (9)  (12/1 -9%)Robin Of Sherwood |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Robin Of Sherwood 12/1, Successful at Warwick in April and while he needs to bounce back following below par efforts the last twice, this 8-y-o is dangerous to discount round here (Ffos Las form figures read 62114225). | |||
5th (5)  (14/1 -75%)Ballybreen |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballybreen 14/1, Back to form with blinkers refitted in January, making all at Fontwell prior to finding just one too good at Exeter 5 days later. Misfired on return, but possibilities if new headgear does the trick. | |||
|F| (8)  (5.5/1 +45%)Dalkingstown |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dalkingstown 5.5/1, Dual point winner and successful in a bumper/over hurdles. However, he hasn't made much of an impact in 3 starts since switched to this sphere. | |||
|F| (10)  (16/1 -45%)Ranieri |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ranieri 16/1, Regressed following fairly encouraging Rules debut in a Hereford novice hurdle last December, and hasn't shown much in 2 starts switched to fences this season. Now tried in blinkers. | |||
|U| (11)  (2.5/1 +9%)Powerful Position |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Powerful Position 2.5/1, Point winner who left previous Rules form well behind at the third attempt over fences when landing a 23.8f handicap chase here last month. 4 lb rise fair and he should have more to offer. | |||
|PU| (2)  (33/1 -65%)Connard |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Connard 33/1, Ended last season with a couple of creditable efforts, but reappearance display at Exeter left much to be desired and now 0-12. | |||
|PU| (7)  (50/1 -25%)Laugharne |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Laugharne 50/1, Winless since 2018 and hard to warm to on recent evidence, or judged on his sole previous start over fences (pulled up). |

6th (2)  (2.25/1 +44%)Bamford Edge |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bamford Edge 2.25/1, £42,000 Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Publican. One to note on debut. |

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.
