1st (7)  (3.5/1 +36%)Dynamic Kate |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dynamic Kate 3.5/1, Still searching for her first win and proving expensive to follow, set for a frame finish (third or fourth in all likelihood) when coming to grief in luckless fashion in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester 5 weeks ago. | |||
2nd (5)  (8.5/1 +29%)Rebel Royal |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rebel Royal 8.5/1, Didn't get home over 23f at Worcester 4 weeks ago and had previously been in good form. Long losing run is a concern, though. | |||
3rd (6)  (6/1 -71%)Getaway Cory |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Getaway Cory 6/1, Yet to win but strong claims on penultimate Worcester second (winner ran to 106, third scored next time) having dropped another 3 lb in the weights. | |||
4th (4)  (10/1 -11%)Monty's Award |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Monty's Award 10/1, Dual handicap chase winner in 2020-21. Claims on his Worcester third in June from 5 lb higher. | |||
5th (9)  (5/1 +75%)Inferno Sacree |
5/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Inferno Sacree 5/1, Yet to better poor form, usually racing freely, and must rate a doubtful stayer over this trip with that in mind. | |||
6th (3)  (9/1 -38%)Lil Codey |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lil Codey 9/1, Long-standing maiden who has run respectably at Worcester (23f) the last twice, including behind Hey Frankie latest. More needed. | |||
7th (8)  (14/1 -56%)Norman Kindu |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Norman Kindu 14/1, Fair Flat winner and showed first real form over hurdles at Bangor (23f) under this rider 3 weeks ago. Not discounted. | |||
8th (1)  (6/1 -71%)Hey Frankie |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hey Frankie 6/1, Going the right way, second again in 23f Worcester mares' handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago, and surely has a race in her. | |||
9th (2)  (6.5/1 +13%)Fred Bear |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fred Bear 6.5/1, Juvenile hurdle winner this time last year and scored on the level in June. Gamble went astray last time but not badly treated returning to jumping. |

1st (4)  (100/1 +20%)Milldean Felix |
100/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Milldean Felix 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat and ran to a similar level on completed start over hurdles back in 2019. Difficult to see him featuring. | |||
2nd (6)  (1.88/1 -71%)Lusaka |
1.88/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lusaka 1.88/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 11f) in Ireland. Better effort over hurdles for new yard when second at Southwell (2m) last month. May have more to offer. Probably the one to beat. | |||
3rd (2)  (0.53/1 +42%)Fortunate Fred |
0.53/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fortunate Fred 0.53/1, Clearly has had his problems but also possesses a fair bit of talent, finishing placed in maiden events on both starts this summer (first one here). Sure to go well. | |||
4th (1)  (16/1 +36%)Bolberry Down |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bolberry Down 16/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Mr Jack (2m-2½m winner). Dam unraced from the family of Oaks winner Lady Carla. Betting the best guide to expectations with this one on rather belated debut. | |||
5th (8)  (50/1 -213%)Fit For Flight |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fit For Flight 50/1, Well held in a course bumper in May and beaten 17 lengths in a match race here on hurdle debut 25 days later. Unlikely that form is worth much. | |||
6th (5)  (16/1 +36%)Coconut Twist |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coconut Twist 16/1, Unplaced in points. 10/1, didn't achieve much when remote fourth on Stratford hurdle debut 39 days ago. | |||
7th (3)  (50/1 +60%)Holnest Pound |
50/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Holnest Pound 50/1, Little promise in Wincanton bumper and 2 Newton Abbot maiden hurdles. | |||
8th (7)  (33/1 +59%)Watchoutitscookie |
33/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Watchoutitscookie 33/1, In need of experience and always towards the rear on his Newton Abbot bumper debut in March. |

1st (7)  (5/1 +17%)Thahab Ifraj |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thahab Ifraj 5/1, Usually consistent, so he can be expected to be back on his game after a lesser effort at Newton Abbot last month. He hasn't won for over a year, though. | |||
2nd (6)  (7.5/1 +17%)Technological |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Technological 7.5/1, Hasn't really fired since scoring at Exeter in April but is back down to the same mark and arrives on the back of a short break, so dangerous to dismiss. | |||
3rd (1)  (5/1 -100%)Percy's Word |
5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Percy's Word 5/1, Impressive when registering a facile handicap victory on return at this course (16f) and backed it up with a creditable second at Warwick. Disappointing last time but this is easier and he's tongue tied. | |||
4th (3)  (8/1 -33%)Manor Park |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Manor Park 8/1, On a reasonable mark and shaped nicely when second (despite a less-than-ideal position) in a 4-runner event at Newton Abbot last month. Should play a part. | |||
5th (4)  (3.5/1 +22%)Hayedo |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hayedo 3.5/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat who improved to open his account in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f) in January. Creditable effort on handicap debut at Newton Abbot in June but latest effort on the level was sub-par. | |||
6th (2)  (8/1 +27%)Some Day Soon |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Some Day Soon 8/1, Useful hurdler who has gone the wrong way from his reappearance this term but is well treated if he can bounce back. | |||
7th (5)  (3.2/1 +51%)Limelighter |
3.2/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Limelighter 3.2/1, Off the mark in this sphere when taking 8-runner handicap hurdle over C&D in May. Not disgraced here subsequently so worth considering despite a lesser run on the Flat recently. |

1st (1)  (1.75/1 +22%)Graffiti |
1.75/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Graffiti 1.75/1, Fair maiden on Flat who showed aptitude for hurdling when runner-up at Stratford last month. That said, he displayed temperament too (should arguably have won) so he's no banker to build on that. | |||
2nd (7)  (1.88/1 +32%)Never No Trouble |
1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Never No Trouble 1.88/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1½m. Ended her time with Adrian Nicholls with runner-up effort at Ripon in June and she's entitled to build on opening fourth at Stratford (looked in need of the experience). | |||
3rd (2)  (6/1 +0%)Mr Freedom |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mr Freedom 6/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 11.5f. Made promising start for new yard 17 days ago and this yard has punched above its weight with similar types in juvenile company. | |||
4th (4)  (6/1 -20%)Boudica Warrior |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Boudica Warrior 6/1, Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m. Beaten a fair way on her last couple of starts in France and shaped as though in need of the run on recent hurdles debut at Uttoxeter, her effort flattening out. More to come. | |||
5th (6)  (66/1 +0%)Lanfear |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lanfear 66/1, Little impact in various events on Flat and well held on hurdles debut. | |||
|U| (3)  (12/1 -50%)Rogue Mission |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rogue Mission 12/1, Fair 1¼m winner on Flat for Tom Clover but held back by inexperience on hurdles debut at Stratford last month. Never a factor back on the level and he needs to up his game with cheekpieces added. | |||
|U| (5)  (18/1 -80%)Cailin Saoirse |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cailin Saoirse 18/1, Modest form at best on the level campaigned mainly over sprint trips and she's certainly not bred for this far now hurdling. |

2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dazzling Glory 2.75/1, Bumper/dual hurdles scorer who may have come out on top but for luckless late exit on chase bow at Warwick (3m) in April. Creditable efforts in defeat both starts since and holds leading claims. | |||
2nd (2)  (7.5/1 -88%)L'air Du Vent |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) L'air Du Vent 7.5/1, Made it second time lucky over fences at Exeter (24.2f) in November 2020 but has been diappointing since and turned in laboured effort when runner-up at Newton Abbot (21f) last month. Cheekpieces now tried for first time. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.38/1 +66%)Miss Jeanne Moon |
1.38/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miss Jeanne Moon 1.38/1, Hurdles winner who has yet to strike in 6 attempts over fences but made the frame again when second of 4 in handicap at Uttoxeter (24f, good) in May and must enter calculations here. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4.5/1 +10%)Jubilympics |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jubilympics 4.5/1, Responded well to a first-time visor and tongue tie combination when snapping a losing run over hurdles at Worcester (23f) in June. Backed that effort up when second in this sphere at same course since and ought to go well again. | |||
|PU| (5)  (9/1 -80%)Dindin |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dindin 9/1, Still to score for current yard after 11 attempts and needs to bounce back from below-par effort at Market Rasen last month. Tries longer trip now. |

7.5/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Belle Na Bann 7.5/1, Shaped well than previously over hurdles when seventh of 11 at Worcester (20f, good) 35 days ago. More required from 8 lb out of the handicap here, however. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.38/1 +0%)Fire Lake |
1.38/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fire Lake 1.38/1, Chasing a hat-trick after victories at Stratford and Newton Abbot (handicap bow) last month. 4 lb rise fair and looks the one to beat. | |||
3rd (4)  (14/1 +30%)Millies Mite |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Millies Mite 14/1, Claims on pick of her Irish hurdles efforts but no encouragement so far for current stable, latest when pulled up at Southwell in June. | |||
4th (5)  (3/1 +40%)Andapa |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Andapa 3/1, Dual scorer last summer who returned from 9 months off with good third of 12 at Uttoxeter in June. Wasn't in same form at same course since, though. | |||
5th (2)  (7/1 -180%)Saywhatyouwant |
7/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Saywhatyouwant 7/1, Returned to best form when taking 10-runner novice hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 31 days ago, shaken up to assert. More required on switch to handicapping but warrants respect. | |||
6th (3)  (6/1 +14%)Howdilyoudo |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Howdilyoudo 6/1, Hurdles/chase winner who looked set to go close when crashing through last (usual 2 out) in Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (19.9f, good) 44 days ago, rider forced to pulled up. Must enter calculations off same mark here. |

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.
