7/1(+18%)
(5) Cuban Breeze 7/1, Pair of 5f AW wins earlier this year and has carried that over to turf, again running respectably when fifth in 8-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f) 20 days ago, not clear run over 1f out. Likely to give her running again.

Fox Hill

(7) Fox Hill 7/1, Bounced back to form in a big way in a first-time visor when winning 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 8 days ago, bagging stand rail and unchallenged. Obvious claims if turning up in similar form under a 5 lb penalty.

First Company

6.5/1(+0%)
(4) First Company 6.5/1, Opened his account at Ayr in July. Disappointing subsequently but stopped the slide when third in 5f handicap at Thirsk on reappearance 26 days ago, staying on. Chance if building on that.

Good Luck Fox

(6) Good Luck Fox 6.5/1, Seems to be building up to something, turning in his best effort of the season when third in 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 5/2) 42 days ago. Has had a breathing operation subsequently.

Miss Nay Never

12/1(-100%)
(1) Miss Nay Never 12/1, Left first 2 runs of the year behind to gain fourth career success (all on AW) at Wolverhampton (5f) in March but failed to finish as well as she travelled back on turf at Hamilton next time and was again below form over C&D 2 weeks ago.

Wrenthorpe

10/1(-122%)
(2) Wrenthorpe 10/1, Nottingham specialist who ended last season with a creditable third at that venue, bumping into a couple of much less-exposed sorts. Most likely needed the run after 7 months off over C&D 2 weeks ago and could be the answer from 2 lb lower.

So Smart

6.5/1(+28%)
(5) So Smart 6.5/1, Not long with this yard and ran well under a positive ride back on turf (with headgear left off) when runner-up at Salisbury 12 days ago. Back up a couple of pounds after that effort and he's fancied to be involved.

3rd (7) Proclivity (8/1 +0%)
Proclivity

8/1(+0%)
(7) Proclivity 8/1, Fair form when placed all 3 outings as a juvenile and shaped as if she'd be better for the run after 8 months off when fifth on handicap bow at Ripon a fortnight ago. Will need to take a step forward to feature but that's not out of the question.
4

May Blossom

18/1(-80%)

(6) Miss Calculation 7.5/1, Produced easily her best effort of the year having been given some respite by the handicapper when fourth at Nottingham 23 days. Bit to find on the figures but, now dropping to the minimum trip for the first time, she's worth a market check.
8th
8th (9) Gabriella's Spirit (12/1 -33%)
Gabriella's Spirit

12/1(-33%)
(9) Gabriella's Spirit 12/1, Seemed to show improved form in first-time hood when runner-up in a Doncaster novice last month, though was possibly flattered to run the winner as close as she did. This just her second start in handicaps but others make more appeal on balance.
9th
9th (2) Mr Beaufort (2.75/1 -38%)
Mr Beaufort

2.75/1(-38%)
(2) Mr Beaufort 2.75/1, Promise both starts at 2 yrs and, gelded during the winter, he narrowly landed the odds in a first-time hood on return in a 5f Wolverhampton maiden. Shaped well on handicap debut when fourth at Goodwood 19 days ago (not clear run approaching final 1f) and he should go close down in grade.

Didn't build on debut effort in a Nottingham maiden (8.3f) in November in 2 subsequent outings last winter but she is in top hands and longer trip could unlock some progress now handicapping on return.

(9) Teddy's Profit 80/1, Promise initially at 2 yrs but didn't kick on thereafter last autumn and he's failed to beat a rival having been gelded/had wind op in 2 outings so far this campaign. Visor needs to have big effect now.
9th

Come To Pass

50/1(+24%)
(15) Come To Pass 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed more than previously when fourth in a 7-runner Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f)5 weeks ago, albeit not posing a win threat. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but others make greater appeal.
10th
10th (2) Aryaah (2.75/1 -22%)
Aryaah

2.75/1(-22%)
(2) Aryaah 2.75/1, Improved for the step up to 1¼m in recent weeks, closed down only late on as he made it 2 wins from last 3 starts at Leicester 17 days ago. That form looks solid enough and claims once more despite 6 lb higher mark to contend with.

(10) Invincible King 80/1, 205,000 son of Invincible Spirit who shaped with encouragement when 3 lengths fifth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (1m) in April. Long way below that level in pair of turf events subsequently but he does at least now get a crack at handicaps. Up in trip.

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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK.
