1st (8)  (3/1 +25%)My Ticketyboo |
3/1(+25%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) My Ticketyboo 3/1, Fitted with cheekpieces and much improved when springing a surprise over C&D last week, responding well. Jumped right on that occasion but it didn't stop him and he's now of interest under a penalty. | |||
2nd (10)  (40/1 -60%)Hard Frost |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hard Frost 40/1, Showed fair from on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but never dangerous in 2 novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls and was similar story for new yard. | |||
3rd (3)  (14/1 -133%)Abingworth |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Abingworth 14/1, Promise when second on first of 3 starts in bumpers last winter and similarly offered a bit first 2 outings over hurdles this winter. Under pressure when falling at Plumpton latest but remains low mileage and one to consider on handicap bow for in-form yard. | |||
4th (1)  (33/1 -18%)Oscarsman |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Oscarsman 33/1, Won Plumpton maiden hurdle in December 2019 and stepped up on reappearance when third there (20.5f, good to soft) in November. Needs to cast aside a heavy defeat at Huntingdon. | |||
5th (9)  (7/1 -56%)Balinesker Beach |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Balinesker Beach 7/1, Made a low-key start under Rules in early-2021 for Jack Barber and, having won in points since, fared little better on yard/seasonal debut at Chepstow. Upped to 20.4f and much more like it when third on handicap debut at Southwell in November. More to come. | |||
6th (4)  (3/1 +33%)Gavroche D'allier |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gavroche D'allier 3/1, Well held on his sole outing in bumpers but better signs over hurdles, suited by return to 19.6f when third fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Big player upped further in distance. | |||
7th (13)  (33/1 +59%)Hier Encore |
33/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Hier Encore 33/1, On a lengthy losing run and looks on the decline. 4 lb out of the weights. | |||
|PU| (6)  (6.5/1 +7%)Annie Day |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Annie Day 6.5/1, Gambled-on and left previous efforts behind to get off the mark for her new yard returning from 20 months off at Fontwell (19f, good) in November. Possibly found the race coming too soon 3 weeks later at Uttoxeter so may well get back on track here. | |||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 -13%)Gaia Vallis |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gaia Vallis 18/1, Scored a couple of times last season but was some way short of her best when a remote third of 16 on reappearance just after Christmas. Needs to come on for that outing. | |||
|PU| (11)  (20/1 -100%)Follow That |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Follow That 20/1, Runner-up in handicaps final 2 starts of 2020/21 campaign. Has showed enough to suggest she retains plenty of ability in 2 comeback outings this term and claims if pulling out any more for first-time cheekpieces. | |||
|PU| (2)  (80/1 -300%)Newtonian |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Newtonian 80/1, Fair form when placed in a brace of bumpers. In need of the experience on hurdles debut a year ago but well held completed start since (fell twice in that time). | |||
|PU| (7)  (200/1 -100%)Robins Field |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Robins Field 200/1, Showed some promise sent chasing before taking a nasty spill at Lingfield a year ago on sole outing for Dan Skelton. Unseated in a point after and no promise back hurdling at Exeter in November. Has had a breathing op. | |||
|RO| (12)  (4/1 +43%)West Orchard |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) West Orchard 4/1, Yet to get seriously competitive but his fourth-placed finishes at Wincanton on his last 2 starts show he's no lost cause and he'll be suited by the return to further after finding 2m too sharp last time. |

1st (5)  (14/1 +0%)Arcade Attraction |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Arcade Attraction 14/1, Fair chaser/hurdler when on-song but he's shown precious little in 4 starts this season. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. | |||
2nd (4)  (10/1 -25%)Dindin |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dindin 10/1, Kept busy and scored by a wide margin at Warwick in September. Rather hit-and-miss since, but his latest 5 lengths third to the reopposing Unit Sixtyfour over 2¼m here was creditable. Thereabouts if in the same form. | |||
3rd (1)  (0.91/1 -14%)Unit Sixtyfour |
0.91/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Unit Sixtyfour 0.91/1, Improved since tongue tied, winning handicap chases at Warwick on New Year's Eve and here (2¼m) 8 days ago. A 7 lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent him completing a hat-trick. | |||
4th (3)  (3.5/1 +22%)Haldon Hill |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Haldon Hill 3.5/1, Down in the weights and finally opened his account over fences at Ffos Las (21f) in November. Not in the same form when only sixth there since but capable of bouncing back. | |||
5th (2)  (5/1 +38%)Pawpaw |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pawpaw 5/1, Ran creditably for his new yard when when second in a 20.5f Plumpton handicap hurdle last month. Didn't show much in 2 chase starts at the start of the season, though. Has cheekpieces refitted. | |||
6th (8)  (20/1 +39%)Clondaw Robin |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Clondaw Robin 20/1, Yet to score over fences and last of 8 at Plumpton a week ago. Hard to fancy. | |||
|U| (6)  (33/1 -83%)Call Me Freddie |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Call Me Freddie 33/1, Hurdles winner over 3m in Ireland but hasn't shown much in 6 starts in this sphere to date, finishing a distant fifth at Wincanton last month. | |||
|PU| (7)  (66/1 +0%)Uncertain Times |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uncertain Times 66/1, Successful between the flags in February but overall record in that sphere is hardly compelling, and little show in maiden/novice hurdles. Makes chase/handicap debut. |

1st (1)  (1/1 +28%)Kilbeg King |
1/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kilbeg King 1/1, Irish point winner looked good prospect when making winning start under Rules in a Uttoxeter bumper in March 2021. After a 20-month absence he made a successful hurdle debut at Ffos Las in November. Well beaten pitched into Grade 1 company at Newbury since but leading claims with sights lowered. | |||
2nd (7)  (250/1 -150%)Privatearing |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Privatearing 250/1, Beaten a long way in a bumper and maiden hurdle before Christmas. Big outsider. | |||
3rd (9)  (4.5/1 +10%)Star Flyer |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Star Flyer 4.5/1, Reached the frame in both bumpers and ran to a fair level when 9 lengths third in Newcastle novice hurdle a month ago. A repeat of that form should see him on the premises here. | |||
4th (2)  (7.5/1 -7%)Red Happy |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Red Happy 7.5/1, Has enjoyed plenty of success for this yard but kept busy and has found life tough lately. | |||
5th (3)  (2.75/1 -38%)Red Windsor |
2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Red Windsor 2.75/1, Fair form when placed on all 4 bumper starts and made a winning start to his hurdle career in a 19f course novice in October. Capable of better and another bold show looks assured. | |||
6th (8)  (18/1 +28%)Scrum Diddly |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Scrum Diddly 18/1, Placed on completed start in Irish points back in May but down the field in a bumper and novice hurdle under Rules. Clearly still early days but can only be watched for now. | |||
7th (5)  (40/1 -60%)Galway Mahler |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Galway Mahler 40/1, Maiden pointer who exceeded market expectations when fifth on Newbury hurdle debut last March but has pulled up on both outings since. | |||
|PU| (4)  (125/1 -150%)Allanah's Boy |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Allanah's Boy 125/1, Poor form in bumpers/novice hurdles. Star Flyer looks very much the yard first string. | |||
|PU| (6)  (250/1 -150%)Lucky Mac |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lucky Mac 250/1, Well held in 2 bumpers in December ahead of this switch to hurdles. | |||
|PU| (10)  (250/1 -150%)Kings Kuroshio |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kings Kuroshio 250/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle at Wincanton (2m) on debut 30 days ago, labouring from circuit out. Significantly up in trip. |

1st (3)  (5.5/1 +0%)Windance |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Windance 5.5/1, Big improver in handicap hurdles in 2021, winning at Taunton and this course in the space of a week. Shaped as though ability remains intact back from 19 months off on chase debut at Uttoxeter but recently failed to complete at Exeter. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.25/1 +25%)A Time To Shine |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) A Time To Shine 2.25/1, Runner-up on chase debut at Hereford in February 2021 and performed with credit when fourth of 10 back from a lengthy absence at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Potentially well-handicapped if able to build on that. | |||
3rd (1)  (6.5/1 -18%)Potters Venture |
6.5/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Potters Venture 6.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Philip Hobbs who scored over fences on his yard debut at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) in October. Well held both starts since, though, including back over hurdles last time, and tongue strap applied now returned to chasing. | |||
|PU| (5)  (1.1/1 +20%)Ozzie Man |
1.1/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ozzie Man 1.1/1, Winner of sole start between the flags and winner of first 2 starts in this sphere. Creditable efforts in defeat the last twice, latterly going down narrowly at Huntingdon (2½m, good to soft), and open to improvement back up in trip here in a first-time visor. |

1st (5)  (6/1 +0%)General Medrano |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) General Medrano 6/1, Showed promise both starts in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when eighth of 15 in 2m novice at Chepstow in November, unable to sustain effort after making headway 2 out. Also failed to see race out at Leicester but a subsequent wind op may well help his cause. | |||
2nd (7)  (1/1 +56%)Tapley |
1/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tapley 1/1, Winning start under Rules in a Fontwell bumper in October and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when fourth of 12 in a Newbury maiden (16.3f) in November. Similar efforts in defeat since and he should be on the premises again. | |||
3rd (2)  (125/1 -150%)Belgarum |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Belgarum 125/1, Limited impact in a bumper/over hurdles. | |||
4th (6)  (7.5/1 -88%)San Fermin |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) San Fermin 7.5/1, Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and, having won a bumper, made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when third in a novice at Stratford in June 2021. Off since the following September so well-being is taken on trust. | |||
5th (4)  (50/1 -100%)Estacas |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Estacas 50/1, Winner of a strong Ascot bumper for Andreas Wohler but was extremely easy to back when well held on hurdling/stable debut at Chepstow last month. Something to prove on the back of that. | |||
6th (8)  (66/1 -230%)Shewearsthewellies |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shewearsthewellies 66/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points, fourth last time (Apr 2022). Market may guide on Rules debut. | |||
7th (3)  (25/1 +0%)Bohemian Lad |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bohemian Lad 25/1, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Dollys Destination. Dam (h85) bumper winner. Tongue tied and just minor promise in a Chepstow bumper in December. | |||
|F| (1)  (2/1 -6%)Auriferous |
2/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Auriferous 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 16.5f) and successful at Southwell (12f) back in March. Plenty of creditable efforts in defeat thereafter, keeping on for third at Newbury (2m) in July. Acquired for 50,000 gns in August and shaped well under a kind ride on hurdles debut 10 days ago. More to come. |

1st (3)  (1.5/1 +50%)Mad About Sally |
1.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mad About Sally 1.5/1, Benefited from a more patient ride when opening her account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in December. Probably best to overlook subsequent Ffos Las display and she could have a part to play if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences. | |||
2nd (4)  (3/1 +25%)River Tyne |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) River Tyne 3/1, Winless following half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles but twice ran well at this venue. Yet to match pick of her form in that sphere, in 2 starts over fences but her mark is easing all the time, so she's not one to be writing off. | |||
3rd (2)  (5/1 -25%)Electric Annie |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Electric Annie 5/1, Dual winner over hurdles (at up to 21.3f) last season and fair encouraging start over fences on return at Kempton in November. In trouble a long way out at Cheltenham next time, though, and she has bit to prove on the back of that. | |||
4th (1)  (6/1 -118%)Whatsdastory |
6/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whatsdastory 6/1, Well prepared following 6 months off to land 3-runner mares' handicap at Hereford in October. Promised more than what she ultimately delivered having travelled well for a long way at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) last time but leading claims here all the same. | |||
5th (5)  (7.5/1 -50%)Tazka |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tazka 7.5/1, Sole win over fences was registered over C&D in September 2020. Hit the crossbar twice off higher marks than this last summer and while she has needs to bounce back following a couple of non-completions, she will be a threat if on-song. |

1st (2)  (6/1 +8%)Monjules |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Monjules 6/1, Strong in betting and straight back on track for new yard when making light of a 10-month absence at Sedgefield (2m) in December. Disappointed in a 19.5f Huntingdon since but might be worth another chance. | |||
2nd (3)  (3.5/1 +53%)Sambezi |
3.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sambezi 3.5/1, Placed twice over hurdles last spring and back to form when 6 lengths second at Sedgefield (17f) in December. Only a respectable third (beaten 13 lengths) at Wincanton on Boxing Day. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.5/1 +50%)Tamaris |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tamaris 3.5/1, Fair maiden over hurdles for Gary Moore. Sound return from an absence for his new stable when fourth of 13 over C&D in December and not disgraced on AW Flat at Lingfield recently. Likely to go well back hurdling. | |||
4th (1)  (14/1 -27%)Petticoat Lucy |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Petticoat Lucy 14/1, Landed a mares' novice hurdle at Wincanton (2m) last winter. Creditable reappearance fourth at Exeter (18.5f) in November but merely added to her rather mixed record when pulled up at Newbury on New Year's Eve. | |||
5th (8)  (9/1 -80%)Sawpit Sienna |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sawpit Sienna 9/1, Successful at Fakenham (2½m) in October and Taunton (2m) in January. Ought to remain very competitive after a 6 lb rise. | |||
6th (10)  (6/1 +0%)Gorcombe Moonshine |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gorcombe Moonshine 6/1, Found only one too good from out of the weights over C&D in December. Not in the same form at Wincanton since but he may fare better with the cheekpieces he wore here now back in place. | |||
7th (7)  (9/1 +0%)Begin The Luck |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Begin The Luck 9/1, Has drawn a blank since his 2 wins in spring 2021 but he knocked firmly on the door with 3 successive runner-up efforts in November/December. Shaped as if still in form when fifth at Plumpton latest. Considered. | |||
8th (4)  (6.5/1 -95%)Force De Frap |
6.5/1(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Force De Frap 6.5/1, Revitalised in recent months, winning 2m handicaps at Taunton and Wincanton. Another 12 lb higher now bidding for the hat-trick but can't rule out further progress in his current mood. | |||
9th (11)  (66/1 -164%)Christopher Clive |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Christopher Clive 66/1, Little impact for Jeremy Scott last season. Offered a bit when sixth of 14 in Taunton handicap on return for a new yard. Unseated at the start at Uttoxeter since. 8 lb out of the handicap. | |||
10th (6)  (125/1 -25%)Kerrkenny Gold |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kerrkenny Gold 125/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers for Mags Mullins in 2018. Also second over hurdles for Olly Murphy in February 2020 but pulled up both starts since returning from a long absence for new stable. Lots to prove. | |||
|PU| (12)  (28/1 -75%)Le Balcon |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Le Balcon 28/1, Made frame twice from 4 outings in Irish points. No show as yet under Rules and out of the weights for handicap debut, but could do better and warrants a market check. | |||
|PU| (9)  (40/1 +60%)Bolberry Down |
40/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bolberry Down 40/1, In frame first 2 starts but pulled up switched to handicap company at Lingfield and Plumpton since. Can only be watched. |

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.
