1
1st (12) Zikany (14/1 -17%)
Zikany

14/1(-17%)
(12) Zikany 14/1, Windsor handicap winner for Sir Michael Stoute last year and, though out of luck in 4 runs for new connections this season, there were positives to glean from his effort here in June and when returning from a break at Salisbury (14.2f, good) recently. Worth a second look over this new trip.
2
2nd (10) Tralee Hills (8/1 +43%)
Tralee Hills

8/1(+43%)
(10) Tralee Hills 8/1, Won 3 on the bounce last summer and has generally performed with credit this season. Wasn't beaten far when fifth of 14 at Haydock (1¾m. good) recently and, with the return to this trip no bad thing, he's likely to be on the premises.
3
3rd (4) Orin Swift (20/1 +20%)
Orin Swift

20/1(+20%)
(4) Orin Swift 20/1, Winner once and placed 4 times from 10 starts at this track. Back on the scoresheet at Bath (17f) in June but form has nosedived since and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
4
4th (15) Planet Legend (6.5/1 +7%)
Planet Legend

6.5/1(+7%)
(15) Planet Legend 6.5/1, Still seeking his first taste of success but he's lightly-raced and has found just one too good on 4 occasions. Stamina to prove now going beyond 1¾m for the first time, though, and his current mark leaves very little margin for error.
5th
5th (14) Stormbreaker (5.5/1 +8%)
Stormbreaker

5.5/1(+8%)
(14) Stormbreaker 5.5/1, Has done little wrong since switched to handicaps, off the mark at Salisbury in May and struck again when narrowly outpointing Mountain Road (winner since) at Kempton (2m) last month. 3 lb rise fair enough and should be in the mix granted suitable conditions (unraced on ground slower than good).
6th
6th (13) Bard Of Brittany (40/1 -43%)
Bard Of Brittany

40/1(-43%)
(13) Bard Of Brittany 40/1, Four-time hurdles winner who was pulled up at Plumpton when last seen in January. Little impact on each of his 3 previous Flat starts (all on AW) and sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap in this sphere.
7th
7th (6) Justus (8/1 +27%)
Justus

8/1(+27%)
(6) Justus 8/1, French maiden winner who acquitted himself pretty well in handicaps at York and Ascot (both at around 2m) last month. Has edged down to a workable mark and, like stablemate Champagne City, he's not without each-way hope.
8th
8th (8) Singing The Blues (28/1 +30%)
Singing The Blues

28/1(+30%)
(8) Singing The Blues 28/1, Has more than paid his way over the years and has added a couple of Ffos Las handicaps to his haul this season. Conversely, it's been something of an all-or-nothing 2022 campaign and recent display back at Ffos Las was very much in the 'nothing' category.
9th
9th (5) Byron Hill (5/1 +33%)
Byron Hill

5/1(+33%)
(5) Byron Hill 5/1, Dual winner for Charlie Fellowes last term and, following a short and unsuccessful stint for Joseph Tuite earlier this year, he has returned to form for his new yard the last twice, latterly landing a 2m Ffos Las handicap. Remains feasibly treated up 5 lb and he needs considering.
10th
10th (1) Royaume Uni (7.5/1 -67%)
Royaume Uni

7.5/1(-67%)
(1) Royaume Uni 7.5/1, Below par both starts on the Flat last season but enjoyed a productive 2021/22 hurdles campaign, winning twice and placed on several occasions. Resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark and he could have a significant role to play.
11th
11th (3) Champagne City (12/1 +25%)
Champagne City

12/1(+25%)
(3) Champagne City 12/1, Belied odds of 20/1 when making every post a winning one in a 7-runner Salisbury handicap (14.2f, good) on second run for this yard in August. Not disgraced off this 5 lb higher mark on the AW recently and place possibilities here provided he responds well to the first-time cheekpieces.
12th
12th (2) Secret Potion (125/1 -89%)
Secret Potion

125/1(-89%)
(2) Secret Potion 125/1, Pretty useful on the Flat in Germany a few years ago and left previous hurdles form behind when landing a Warwick handicap for Paul Nicholls in May 2021. However, largely disappointing since and completely misfired on debut for this yard at Exeter when last seen 10 months ago. Hood applied.
13th
13th (11) San Pedro (66/1 +0%)
San Pedro

66/1(+0%)
(11) San Pedro 66/1, Maiden winner on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien in 2019 but more miss than hit since, both in this sphere and over hurdles.
14th
14th (16) Suspicious (40/1 -60%)
Suspicious

40/1(-60%)
(16) Suspicious 40/1, Doncaster maiden winner for Ralph Beckett on sole 2-y-o start but proved a let-down on belated reappearance in July. Again failed to make an impact for new yard at Ripon (1½m, good) recently and hopes pinned on this step up in trip working the oracle.
15th
15th (9) Lifetime Legend (20/1 -25%)
Lifetime Legend

20/1(-25%)
(9) Lifetime Legend 20/1, Irish import who remains a maiden following a dozen appearances in this sphere (and 3 over hurdles). On the upside, he posted one of his better efforts when third of 11 off this mark at Leicester (11.8f, soft) when last seen in April and this stiffer test could be just what he needs.
16th
16th (7) Blame It On Sally (6/1 -50%)
Blame It On Sally

6/1(-50%)
(7) Blame It On Sally 6/1, Multiple winner for Sir Mark Prescott in 2019 and off the mark for present connections on third start following a lengthy absence at Kempton (2m) last month. 3 lb nudge tolerable and he's one to consider, albeit ground slower than good would be cause for concern.

1
1st (3) Yacowlef (0.44/1 +78%)
Yacowlef

0.44/1(+78%)
(3) Yacowlef 0.44/1, Has shown plenty of ability on each of his 3 starts, not least when third to subsequent Group 3 winner Mischief Magic over this C&D at the end of July. Bold show anticipated.
2
2nd (2) Fierce (7.5/1 +17%)
Fierce

7.5/1(+17%)
(2) Fierce 7.5/1, Progressive colt who shaped well from a wide draw when third of 8 in novice event at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month. Remains open to improvement but it's likely that he'll excel in handicaps further down the line.
3
3rd (6) Goodwood Vision (9/1 +36%)
Goodwood Vision

9/1(+36%)
(6) Goodwood Vision 9/1, Decent pedigree and clear signs of ability over this C&D on her second start in August. However, she's probably more one for handicaps in due course.
4
4th (4) Juryman (6/1 +57%)
Juryman

6/1(+57%)
(4) Juryman 6/1, Finished nearer last than first on his introduction at Ascot (6f, good) and while that experience won't be wasted on him, he's probably more one for the longer-term.
5th
5th (5) Chalk Mountain (20/1 +39%)
Chalk Mountain

20/1(+39%)
(5) Chalk Mountain 20/1, Stepped up on low-key debut when fourth of 10 in a 6f Kempton novice recently but another sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to emerge on top here.
6th
6th (10) Lady Amanda (14/1 +30%)
Lady Amanda

14/1(+30%)
(10) Lady Amanda 14/1, Brighton debut in August wasn't completely devoid of promise but she's likely to need more time.
7th
7th (8) Timewaitsfornobody (40/1 +20%)
Timewaitsfornobody

40/1(+20%)
(8) Timewaitsfornobody 40/1, Just minor promise in 2 starts to date and she's another who is likely to be see in a better light when handicapping later on.
8th
8th (9) Alicefromumbridge (125/1 +38%)
Alicefromumbridge

125/1(+38%)
(9) Alicefromumbridge 125/1, Down the field on debut at Kempton and she's impossible to fancy here on that evidence.

1
1st (7) Spanish Star (3.33/1 +39%)
Spanish Star

3.33/1(+39%)
(7) Spanish Star 3.33/1, Reliable type who registered his latest success in this race off a 3 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Promising to come good again with another solid effort in defeat at Salisbury (6f, good) 10 days ago and he's high on the shortlist.
2
2nd (6) Dora Penny (8.5/1 -70%)
Dora Penny

8.5/1(-70%)
(6) Dora Penny 8.5/1, Won 4 on the bounce in July/August and, following a couple of reverses, she proved that her progression hasn't stalled when scoring at Ffos Las (6f, soft) recently. 4 lb rise looks fair and this 3-y-o has to enter calculations.
3
3rd (11) Indian Creak (18/1 +10%)
Indian Creak

18/1(+10%)
(11) Indian Creak 18/1, Now 3 lb below the mark off which he struck at Windsor during the summer but the handicapper's mercy is commensurate with a string of poor efforts.
4
4th (3) Mokaatil (14/1 -17%)
Mokaatil

14/1(-17%)
(3) Mokaatil 14/1, Back in the winning groove at Sandown in August and recent third at Ripon (6f, good) was a decent enough. Now 1 lb lower and each-way claims with a capable apprentice in the hot-seat.
5th
5th (9) Crazy Luck (7.5/1 +32%)
Crazy Luck

7.5/1(+32%)
(9) Crazy Luck 7.5/1, Hit a purple patch during first half of the campaign, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Newbury/Chester. Form has rather tailed off since, though, and she looks vulnerable.
6th
6th (12) Lihou (10/1 +0%)
Lihou

10/1(+0%)
(12) Lihou 10/1, Capitalised on drop in grade when making all at Salisbury (5f) in June. Has performed with credit on each of his 3 visits to this course in 2022 but his record suggests that he's not quite as effective at this trip. Visor refitted.
7th
7th (1) Chiefofchiefs (4.5/1 -35%)
Chiefofchiefs

4.5/1(-35%)
(1) Chiefofchiefs 4.5/1, Winless since the 2020 Wokingham consolation but he often runs with credit in big-field handicaps. Gets little respite from the assessor owing to his consistency but this is not as hot as the races he usually contests and yard saddled the winner of this in 2020.
8th
8th (5) Lovely Breeze (3.33/1 +45%)
Lovely Breeze

3.33/1(+45%)
(5) Lovely Breeze 3.33/1, Enhanced good record here when landing a C&D handicap in decisive fashion last month. Failed to make an impact in the Ayr Silver Cup next time but she's 1 lb lower than when runner-up in this race in 2021 and a bold show is likely.
9th
9th (4) Full Authority (14/1 +30%)
Full Authority

14/1(+30%)
(4) Full Authority 14/1, Just touched off in a valuable Epsom handicap in June but subsequent efforts not so good and you have to go back to October 2020 for when he last got his head in front.
10th
10th (10) A Sure Welcome (33/1 +50%)
A Sure Welcome

33/1(+50%)
(10) A Sure Welcome 33/1, Hit the target off this mark at Windsor in June but he finished stone last at Wolverhampton recently and others make more appeal on balance.

1st (2) Benacre (3.33/1 -33%)
Benacre

3.33/1(-33%)
(2) Benacre 3.33/1, Disappointed when down the field on nursery debut at York but he quickly got back on track when making all at Epsom (7f, good) a fortnight ago. Further progress likely and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up with William Buick doing the steering.
2
2nd (4) Solutre (2.5/1 +29%)
Solutre

2.5/1(+29%)
(4) Solutre 2.5/1, Clear of the rest when chasing home a potentially smart Godolphin colt in Naval Power (twice successful in listed company since) at Leicester in June. Duly went one better in a 7f Newcastle maiden next time and he brings potential to this nursery debut.
3
3rd (1) Eminency (2.12/1 -6%)
Eminency

2.12/1(-6%)
(1) Eminency 2.12/1, Built on considerable debut promise when landing a Windsor novice in July. That wasn't a particularly strong race but subsequent fifth in a valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good) was a solid effort and he has to be taken seriously now pitched into a nursery.
4
4th (3) Chartwell House (5/1 +9%)
Chartwell House

5/1(+9%)
(3) Chartwell House 5/1, Just touched off by Eminency at Windsor in July and opened his account when narrowly landing an Epsom maiden in a first-time hood the following month. However, failed to land the odds on the AW next time and more severe headgear enlisted for this nursery debut.
5th
5th (5) Kiss N Cuddle (10/1 +9%)
Kiss N Cuddle

10/1(+9%)
(5) Kiss N Cuddle 10/1, Notched third success when edging out dual subsequent winner Have Secret in a 7f Chester nursery in July. However, he has failed to beat a rival home the last twice and connections now reach for first-time blinkers.

Rathgar

1.1/1(+20%)
(7) Rathgar 1.1/1, Promising sort. 9/1, third of 9 in maiden at this course (9.9f, good) 18 days ago, staying on without being unduly punished. Course experience could well count for a good deal and sound claims with prospect of more to come.

Ramensky

4.5/1(-29%)
(6) Ramensky 4.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Yarmouth (9.1f, good, 11/2) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should have more to offer.
3

King's Code

(4) King's Code 7.5/1, Saxon Warrior colt. 25/1, showed more than previously amidst greenness when third of 7 in minor event at Chester (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. This increase in trip could well bring about further improvement.

Torre Del Oro

8/1(-7%)
(8) Torre Del Oro 8/1, Foaled February 8. 55,000 gns yearling, Almanzor colt. Dam useful 1½m winner. Yard can ready a newcomer and betting should prove a useful guide on debut. Hood on.
6th
6th (2) Autolycus (66/1 +0%)
Autolycus

(2) Autolycus 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 15 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Can only be watched.
7th
7th (3) Buxlow Boy (28/1 -12%)
Buxlow Boy

8th
8th (9) Young Chaucer (25/1 +50%)
Young Chaucer

(9) Young Chaucer 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Showed only greenness when twelfth of 13 in minor event (22/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) on debut 44 days ago. Up in trip.
9th
9th (1) Alumnus (6/1 -50%)

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
