(5)  (18/1 -80%)Tartan Cookie |
18/1(-80%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tartan Cookie 18/1, Responded well to first-time blinkers when opening his account at Newcastle (23.7f) in February. Not really built on that since, however. | |||
1st (3)  (1.88/1 +32%)Johnson's Blue |
1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Johnson's Blue 1.88/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle (3/1) over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago by ½ length from Dillarchie, always holding on. 4 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. | |||
2nd (6)  (5/1 +9%)Dillarchie |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dillarchie 5/1, Found improvement when ½-length second of 15 to Johnson's Blue in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 28/1) 17 days ago, sticking to task. Remains low mileage and is one for shortlist. | |||
3rd (4)  (10/1 +0%)Bird On The Wire |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bird On The Wire 10/1, Came good over 3m at Doncaster in January. Remained in form since, latest when fifth at Newcastle (23.7f, good) latest. Ought to be competitive again. | |||
4th (1)  (20/1 -186%)Shaws Bridge |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shaws Bridge 20/1, Didn't take to chasing but fairly handicapped back in this sphere and can't be ruled out. | |||
5th (7)  (1.88/1 +44%)Atomic Angel |
1.88/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Atomic Angel 1.88/1, C&D winner who found further improvement when 1¼ lengths third of 15 to Johnson's Blue in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. Should give another good account. | |||
|PU| (8)  (8/1 -7%)To The Limit |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) To The Limit 8/1, Winner of chase at Kelso in January and back to form when second of 10 in handicap chase (12/1) at Sedgefield (26.9f, soft) last month. Tries handicap hurdling now off 2 lb higher. | |||
|PU| (2)  (100/1 -150%)Lord Condi |

125/1(-681%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dorothy's Flame 125/1, Poor maiden hurdler. 2 lb out of the handicap. |

1st (5)  (3/1 +40%)Follow Your Fire |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Follow Your Fire 3/1, Back to winning ways over hurdles here last June and largely consistent since, runner-up over fences at this venue (20f) last month, no match for winner but long way clear of remainder. Should remain competitive. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.75/1 +22%)Cool Country |
1.75/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cool Country 1.75/1, Got his act together in recent months, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts at Sedgefield (17f) with an authoritative display 2 weeks ago, making all. 7 lb rise may not prevent another bold bid here and well worth a look. | |||
3rd (1)  (7/1 +22%)Follow Your Arrow |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Follow Your Arrow 7/1, Ex-pointer (0-4 in that sphere) who matched pick of his hurdles form when fourth of 10 over 20f here in March. However, proved to be a disappointment at Carlisle subsequently and switch to chasing needs to bring about improvement. | |||
4th (2)  (6/1 +14%)Blooriedotcom |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blooriedotcom 6/1, Fair hurdler who ran well when runner-up at Perth (16.2f) in April. Kept on gradually for third on his recent C&D chase bow and, having been eased 2 lb since and improved showing could well be on the cards. | |||
5th (7)  (16/1 -88%)Roxyfet |
16/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Roxyfet 16/1, Veteran campaigner who capitalised on much-reduced mark to regain winning thread over C&D in April, staying on to lead final 100 yds and all out to hold on. More on his plate in what rates a stronger race now, however. | |||
|PU| (6)  (4.5/1 -13%)Myburg |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Myburg 4.5/1, Progressive from low base over timber and continued that theme to make a winning chase debut at Sedgefield (17f, soft) last month, making up a lot of ground to lead close home. Assessor applies more pressure but respected given he may do better still. |

7/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Curley Finger 7/1, Placed in a bumper for Gordon Elliott. Sound start over hurdles for new stable when keeping on for third at Kelso (21f, good to soft) 13 days ago, best work finish. May do better and respected. | |||
2nd (7)  (1.38/1 +39%)Grand Du Nord |
1.38/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Grand Du Nord 1.38/1, Good-ground course bumper winner last April. Fair form first 2 starts over hurdles and given a break since a lesser run at Newcastle in January (has had wind surgery). Should figure. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.38/1 +8%)Clear White Light |
1.38/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clear White Light 1.38/1, Fair bumper performer who easily made a winning start over hurdles in 2m course novice 36 days ago, produced to lead at the last having travelled strongly. More needed to follow up but he has the potential for better. | |||
4th (8)  (9/1 +50%)Konik King |
9/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Konik King 9/1, Runner-up here on the second of 3 bumper starts but the form looks nothing special. Hurdle debut. | |||
5th (6)  (16/1 +60%)Future Benefits |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Future Benefits 16/1, Took 6 attempts to get off the mark in points and ran to just a poor level when fading into fourth on 23f hurdle debut for new yard 10 days ago. Shorter trip may help but Curley Finger has to be considered stable first string unless betting hints otherwise. | |||
6th (9)  (50/1 -25%)Lough Carra |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lough Carra 50/1, Little show in Irish points (last ran Mar 19) so best watched now hurdling unless the market suggests better is anticipated. | |||
|PU| (5)  (50/1 -43%)Dungeon Brook |
50/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dungeon Brook 50/1, Well held in a Carlisle bumper for Iain Jardine in March. Tongue tie on now hurdling for new yard. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. | |||
|PU| (3)  (150/1 -50%)Askalli |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Askalli 150/1, Well held in bumper/2 hurdles for George Bewley. Change of stable and addition of a hood/tongue tie need to spark major improvement. | |||
|PU| (10)  (150/1 -50%)Diamant Sur Canape |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Diamant Sur Canape 150/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdle in recent months. |

1st (6)  (5/1 +44%)Kildrum |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kildrum 5/1, Maiden jumper, well held again behind Well Cliche at Sedgefield 39 days ago. 1 of 3 runners for the yard. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.88/1 -36%)Well Cliche |
1.88/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Well Cliche 1.88/1, Opened her account in 27f Sedgefield handicap chase 6 weeks ago. Few miles on the clock and got to be of interest up 3 lb. | |||
3rd (2)  (2.25/1 +10%)Cudgel |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cudgel 2.25/1, Off the mark over fences in similar C&D event in March and good run in a deeper race back here next time. Leading claims. | |||
4th (5)  (6.5/1 +19%)Larry Looby |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Larry Looby 6.5/1, Maiden under Rules, well beaten here last time. Tricky to fancy back up in trip. | |||
5th (4)  (10/1 -25%)Richardson |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Richardson 10/1, Uttoxeter handicap hurdle winner in December 2020 but out of sorts, always behind on chase debut there 17 days ago. | |||
6th (1)  (22/1 -10%)Hideo |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hideo 22/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but yet to fire for this yard, dropping in the weights all the while. 1 of 3 runners for the yard. |

1st (7)  (10/1 +55%)Frightened Rabbit |
10/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Frightened Rabbit 10/1, Not really fired for some time and tends to save best for Cartmel nowadays. Cheekpieces back on. 1 lb out of the handicap. | |||
2nd (6)  (2.25/1 +36%)Bucko's Boy |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bucko's Boy 2.25/1, Returning from 4 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good, 11/2) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and could be interesting from what looks a handy mark. | |||
3rd (1)  (6.5/1 -117%)Drumconnor Lad |
6.5/1(-117%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Drumconnor Lad 6.5/1, Back to winning ways when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle (22/1) over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago by 1¾ lengths from For Three. Just 2 lb higher now and likely to go well again. | |||
4th (2)  (66/1 -100%)Antey |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Antey 66/1, Useful at one time for Willie Mullins but offered little in 4 starts for Patrick Griffin. Remains to be seen if switch to new yard revitalises him. | |||
5th (4)  (4.5/1 -29%)For Three |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) For Three 4.5/1, Stepped up on reappearance effort when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Drumconnor Lad in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Races off same mark and warrants respect. | |||
6th (3)  (2.5/1 +17%)Palm Beach |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Palm Beach 2.5/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season, running up to best when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good, evens) 31 days ago. Must enter calculations back handicapping. | |||
|PU| (5)  (11/1 -22%)Applaus |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Applaus 11/1, Not the most reliable and below best at Carlisle last time. Others hold more appeal. |

1st (3)  (10/1 +0%)The Electrician |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Electrician 10/1, Has hit the crossbar a few times over hurdles, but he made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Kelso last month. | |||
2nd (6)  (20/1 +0%)Stowaway John |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stowaway John 20/1, Displayed ability in bumpers for Ronald O'Neill, but little in the way of worthwhile form over hurdles for current yard and can only be watched now switched to fences. | |||
3rd (5)  (0.67/1 +8%)Sputnik |
0.67/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sputnik 0.67/1, Hurdles winner here last spring and made it 2-4 here when opening his chase account in emphatic fashion over C&D 17 days ago. 10 lb rise tolerable and another bold show on the cards. | |||
4th (7)  (9/1 +73%)Amber Run |
9/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Amber Run 9/1, Not entirely disgraced when fourth at Sedgefield (26.9f) a fortnight ago, and he could be in line for some minor place money if able to back that up here. | |||
|U| (4)  (8.5/1 +0%)Strike Of Lighting |
8.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Strike Of Lighting 8.5/1, Best effort yet over hurdles when sixth in a 13-runner Carlisle handicap in March, but failed to build on that upped to 23.3f here next time and he's opposable on chase debut. | |||
|PU| (1)  (6/1 +40%)Dis Donc |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dis Donc 6/1, Dual winner over hurdles, including a Wetherby seller on penultimate start, but he's 0-16 in this sphere and hopes very much pinned on the first-time visor making all the difference here. |

1st (8)  (2.75/1 +54%)Les's Legacy |
2.75/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Les's Legacy 2.75/1, Remains winless following 11 attempts in this sphere, but some decent bits and pieces of form to his name, not least when fourth off this mark at Market Rasen (16.6f) recently. Each-way claims. | |||
2nd (1)  (20/1 -100%)Lord Caprio |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lord Caprio 20/1, Successful over C&D last summer and added to his tally at Sedgefield in November, but form has dipped badly in three subsequent starts. | |||
3rd (6)  (5.5/1 +35%)Bestiarius |
5.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bestiarius 5.5/1, Took advantage of much-reduced mark to belatedly open hurdles account at Newcastle (20.3f) three starts back. Beaten 12½ lengths when fourth to Well Educated in a C&D seller last time, but had a lot on his plate at the weights that day. | |||
4th (14)  (14/1 +44%)Baraboy |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Baraboy 14/1, Inconsistent type nowadays and while he bagged a second success over this C&D in November, a return to form is very much needed following tame efforts the last twice. | |||
5th (3)  (7.5/1 -7%)Thomas Cranmer |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thomas Cranmer 7.5/1, Five-time Flat winner who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when fourth of nine over this C&D recently. 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights on that occasion and, able to race off his correct mark in this lower-grade handicap, he's high on the shortlist. | |||
6th (10)  (8/1 +6%)Killane |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Killane 8/1, Hit the target twice in 2020 and notched third success when seeing off 12 rivals in a 17f Carlisle handicap in March. Wasn't in the same form at Sedgefield next time, though, and will probably find one or two too good here. | |||
7th (5)  (50/1 +50%)Archive |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Archive 50/1, Ultimately well held on first appearance over hurdles since early-2018 at Southwell (15.8f) last month. Others make more appeal. | |||
8th (12)  (125/1 -56%)Divas Doyen |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Divas Doyen 125/1, Just minor promise in Ireland for Declan Queally and she's been pulled up on all three starts for this yard. Now tried in a tongue strap. | |||
9th (11)  (5/1 +23%)Old Jewry |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Old Jewry 5/1, Scored at Carlisle in February and while he was only sixth in the Newcastle race won by Bestiarius last month, this 8-y-o returned to something like his best when third at Ayr (20.4f) a fortnight ago. Down another 2 lb and he's not discounted. | |||
10th (7)  (22/1 +21%)Getaway Glenda |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getaway Glenda 22/1, Has offered precious little since belying odds of 66/1 in a Tramore maiden hurdle for previous connections in July 2020. Down in the weights back from an 11-month absence, but she's hard to warm to all the same. | |||
11th (4)  (4.5/1 +36%)Ilaya |
4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ilaya 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner during 2019/20 campaign and produced her best for a while when sixth of 13 in a 20.3f Newcastle handicap last month. Drop back in trip looks a good move and she has to enter calculations. |

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.
