(16)  (16/1 +20%)Sapphire's Moon |
16/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Sapphire's Moon 16/1, Gained breakthrough success in a 7f minor event at Brighton earlier this month, but seemingly put in her place back in handicap company the last twice and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. | |||
1st (15)  (12/1 +70%)Firenze Rosa |
12/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Firenze Rosa 12/1, Losing run mounting up and while the handicapper has cut her some slack, it's likely that she will again find a few too good. | |||
2nd (1)  (12/1 +0%)Mobarhin |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mobarhin 12/1, Sole success to date was gained in an AW handicap at Lingfield (6f) in January. Latest effort at Pontefract (first run since being gelded) was one of his better performances on turf, but his record strongly suggests that he's more of a force on polytrack. | |||
3rd (12)  (14/1 -40%)Haseef |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Haseef 14/1, Shaped pretty well when fourth in the eight-runner C&D handicap won by Q Twenty Boy back from a break in June. However, he's failed to build on that in four subsequent appearances and record now stands at 0-11. | |||
4th (8)  (7/1 +65%)Pablo Del Pueblo |
7/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pablo Del Pueblo 7/1, Quick off the blocks when making it second time lucky on turf at Lingfield (6f, good) in May. Has failed to trouble the judge in four subsequent starts, but there have been excuses on more than once occasion and he's not discounted. | |||
5th (9)  (9/1 +18%)Vape |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vape 9/1, Hit the target at Windsor in April prior to a series of solid efforts in defeat. Easy enough to forgive him for a rare below par display at Ffos Las recently (behind Bibulous), but it could be that the handicapper has his measure for now. | |||
6th (5)  (2.25/1 +18%)Bibulous |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bibulous 2.25/1, Fair form in AW novice events last year and has acquitted himself all three starts in 6f turf handicaps this season, most recently chasing home the bang in-form Dora Penny (winner again since) at Ffos Las. Big player off the same mark. | |||
7th (17)  (25/1 +11%)Debbie's Choice |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Debbie's Choice 25/1, Bettered her two previous efforts this season when sixth of 11 in a 7f handicap here in June, but she's likely to find things happening too quickly back at this trip. | |||
8th (7)  (7/1 +13%)Secret Handsheikh |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Secret Handsheikh 7/1, Resumed winning ways in a first-time visor (retained here) at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last week, form which was boosted when the second scored at the same course four days later. More needed under a penalty, but return to 6f won't be a problem and he merits respect. | |||
9th (2)  (8/1 +33%)Under Curfew |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Under Curfew 8/1, Scored over C&D on belated reappearance last season, which set the wheels in motion for a rich vein of form (went on to complete a four-timer). 0-7 so far this year, though, and opposable for all that he's dipped to an attractive enough mark. | |||
10th (14)  (18/1 +0%)Grey Galleon |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Grey Galleon 18/1, Winner over C&D in 2018 and snapped a losing run stretching back almost two years whe getting on top close home at Bath (5.7f, good) in May. By no means disgraced at Chepstow since, but others make more appeal for win purposes on this occasion. | |||
11th (3)  (6.5/1 +0%)Oriental Spirit |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oriental Spirit 6.5/1, Reappearance/handicap debut at Chepstow lacked spark, but left that well behind when opening his account at Kempton (6f) in June. Wasn't beaten far off this mark next time and likely player returned to turf. |

20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) It's All About You 20/1, Foaled January 28. 62,000 gns yearling, Highland Reel colt. Half-brother to smart 1m-12.5f winner Tashaar and 15f winner Moon Palace. Dam, 9.7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f The Right Man. | |||
1st (9)  (2.75/1 -10%)The Parent |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Parent 2.75/1, Caught the eye on debut but merely matched that form when third of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. | |||
2nd (7)  (2.12/1 -21%)Sir Laurence Graff |
2.12/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sir Laurence Graff 2.12/1, Bred to be sharp and showed plenty when fourth of 11 in novice event (3/1) at Haydock (8f, good) on debut 21 days ago, hampered late on. Sure to progress. | |||
3rd (2)  (16/1 -14%)Galactic Jack |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Galactic Jack 16/1, Foaled April 6. Galileo colt. Dam winner up to 9.4f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner) who stayed 1½m (runner-up in Irish Oaks). Noteworthy newcomer. | |||
4th (3)  (12/1 +40%)Gozo |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gozo 12/1, Fourth of 6 in novice event (33/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer. | |||
5th (5)  (2.5/1 +38%)New Dayrell |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) New Dayrell 2.5/1, Took the eye before the race and showed plenty when third of 9 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 22 days ago. That sets a pretty good standard. | |||
6th (1)  (20/1 +0%)Ajjaj |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ajjaj 20/1, Foaled February 16. Dark Angel colt. Dam French 9.5f winner out of very smart 9f/1¼m winner (stayed 1¾m) Harmonious. | |||
7th (6)  (10/1 -25%)Ramensky |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ramensky 10/1, Foaled February 28. 20,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. One to note on debut for leading yard. | |||
8th (8)  (200/1 -100%)Steven Seagull |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Steven Seagull 200/1, 50/1, last of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good) on debut 14 days ago. |

1st (2)  (8.5/1 +15%)Vino Victrix |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Vino Victrix 8.5/1, Ran another cracker when beaten only a well-treated one in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 3/1) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly back on turf with promising 3 lb claimer now taking over in the saddle. | |||
2nd (8)  (5.5/1 +66%)Malakahna |
5.5/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Malakahna 5.5/1, Notched a hat-trick in juvenile campaign over hurdles at Cheltenham in April. Readily brushed aside back on the level at Wolverhampton in July but fared much better when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Haydock (16.2f) 19 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time. | |||
3rd (4)  (7/1 +72%)Star Caliber |
7/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Star Caliber 7/1, Ended last season on the up but hasn't hit the ground running this term, again below his best at Salisbury last time. Too soon to completely write off, though. | |||
4th (1)  (8/1 -23%)Bascule |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bascule 8/1, Big improver when racking up a 4-timer on AW in second half of 2021 and shaped encouragingly back on turf after 7 months off when seventh of 13 in a well-contested handicap here (14f) 27 days ago, nearest at the finish. Could still have better to come. | |||
5th (7)  (1.1/1 +51%)Our Jester |
1.1/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Our Jester 1.1/1, Useful dual bumper winner who was notably strong in the betting and went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up on his handicap debut at Ffos Las (14f, heavy) 24 days ago, edged out final 100 yds. Nudged up 2 lb but capable of better still and of major interest. | |||
6th (3)  (6/1 +0%)Land Of Winter |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Land Of Winter 6/1, Ended 2021 on a high with emphatic win in 2m class 4 Nottingham handicap and ran creditably after 6 months off when eighth in Chester Cup. Not disgraced over C&D a month later but needs to pull out more if he's to defy his current mark back from a break. |

1st (4)  (2.5/1 +29%)Misty Dancer |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Misty Dancer 2.5/1, Continued her race-by-race progression when runner-up at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, briefly giving the useful winner something to think about and pulling well clear of the rest. Sets a sold standard and a repeat effort on this turf debut could be enough to open her account. | |||
2nd (3)  (4/1 +33%)Lady Shotgun |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lady Shotgun 4/1, Off 12 months since her debut, she shaped well when finishing a close last of 5 at Lingfield earlier this month. Upped further in trip today and in top hands, she may well do better again. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.33/1 +33%)Seeola |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seeola 3.33/1, 350,000 gns foal, Sea The Stars filly who produced a promising first effort when fifth in minor event at Southwell (11.1f, 12/1) 4 weeks ago, just found wanting for know-how when it mattered. Should have learnt plenty from that so she could go close. | |||
4th (1)  (3.5/1 -40%)Dame Ethel Smyth |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dame Ethel Smyth 3.5/1, Golden Horn filly who produced a promising first effort when fourth of 8 in minor event (14/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) earlier this month. Sure to improve, and likely to go close in this. | |||
5th (5)  (16/1 +11%)Mountain Queen |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mountain Queen 16/1, Hinted at promise when finishing down the field in a couple of similar events and it's possible she will make more of a splash in handicaps down the line. | |||
6th (2)  (7/1 +56%)Every Blue Moon |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Every Blue Moon 7/1, Lope De Vega filly who left the impression that she needed more time when tenth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (8f, good) back in June. Open to progress now upped in trip but others seemingly look stronger. |

1st (4)  (5.5/1 +21%)Celtic Empress |
5.5/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Celtic Empress 5.5/1, Scored at Newmarket (1m) in May but comes here on the back of two below-par efforts, too free when eighth at Haydock last time. Needs to get back on track. | |||
2nd (1)  (4.5/1 +50%)New Heights |
4.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) New Heights 4.5/1, Already a three-time winner this year, gaining her latest success at Sandown (9f) in Juy. Not disgraced off a 5 lb higher mark when last of 4 in 10f Windsor handicap 11 days ago so she's well in the mix. | |||
3rd (3)  (3/1 +54%)Alpha Cru |
3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alpha Cru 3/1, Got off the mark for the season in 3-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f) 8 days ago. Must enter calculations under a 5 lb penalty. | |||
4th (2)  (4/1 -20%)Just Amber |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Just Amber 4/1, Arrives better than ever and on a hat-trick after stylish wins in 1m handicaps at Nottingham and Newmarket. Up another 8 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood. | |||
5th (6)  (2/1 +11%)Canoodled |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Canoodled 2/1, Yet to score in 2022 but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 14 in 1m handicap at Haydock 19 days ago. Considered. |

1st (4)  (12/1 +70%)The Daley Express |
12/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Daley Express 12/1, Former course winner but down the field in 2 outings this year 5 months apart. Off a further 12 weeks. Hard to be confident about at present. | |||
2nd (1)  (4/1 +20%)The Defiant |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Defiant 4/1, Fourth AW win of the year for this trainer when seeing off 9 rivals at Lingfield 11 days ago. Ran well over C&D at the Glorious meeting. Respected under a 5 lb penalty. | |||
3rd (12)  (12/1 +25%)My Joker |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) My Joker 12/1, Modest form since coming to Britain. 10/3, fourth of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f) 12 days ago. Wait for a first win may go on. | |||
4th (3)  (4.5/1 +25%)Pettochside |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pettochside 4.5/1, Veteran who is a 3-time C&D winner. Not at best at Salisbury in June but prior to that he'd been shaping as if he might still have a race in him despite his advancing years. Can go well fresh. Considered. | |||
5th (9)  (1.62/1 +68%)Gherkin |
1.62/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gherkin 1.62/1, Back on the scoreboard at Windsor in June. Creditable third of 10 there (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Merits consideration. | |||
6th (11)  (4/1 +11%)Eastern Star |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Eastern Star 4/1, Ungenuine type but he did record a first handicap success in a small field over 5f at Leicester (all 3 wins there) earlier this month. 5 lb rise may stop him. |

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.
