1st (3)  (4/1 +0%)West Lawn |
4/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) West Lawn 4/1, Relished the step up to 23.3f when opening her account over C&D in March but well held both subsequent starts. Needs to get back on track. | |||
2nd (4)  (6/1 +50%)Olympus |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Olympus 6/1, Down the field on the Flat on stable debut in March. Showed a bit more tackling a longer trip in first-time cheekpieces over C&D next time but disappointing since. Engaged Catterick 4.04 Friday. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -67%)Bird On The Wire |
3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bird On The Wire 3.33/1, Came good over 3m at Doncaster in January. Remained in form since, resuming his progress behind an interesting pair over C&D last time. The one to beat fitted with first-time cheekpieces. | |||
4th (7)  (5.5/1 +15%)Frankies Fire |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Frankies Fire 5.5/1, Multiple point winner, including last time, but others preferred back under Rules. | |||
5th (2)  (7.5/1 +0%)Tokaramore |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tokaramore 7.5/1, Good second to an upwardly mobile rival back in this sphere here in March, but she wasn't in the same form at Ayr (20.4f, good) next time. Bounce back needed. | |||
6th (6)  (3/1 +14%)Fraterculus |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fraterculus 3/1, Not disgraced in first-time blinkers when fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (22.5f, good) 21 days ago. Ran respectably from 5 lb higher on latest hurdle start, so needs considering back in this sphere. | |||
7th (5)  (22/1 -100%)Grannie Annie |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grannie Annie 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden who improved on debut form when sixth in a Southwell maiden in April but failed to back that potentially dubious effort up there last time. Cheekpieces go on for handicap debut. | |||
|PU| (8)  (50/1 -25%)Dorothy's Flame |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dorothy's Flame 50/1, Poor maiden hurdler who looks set for another struggle. |

18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Boy's On Tour 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020, dropping in the weights all the while. Poor effort at Perth last time and work to do. | |||
1st (1)  (5/1 -11%)Follow Your Arrow |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Follow Your Arrow 5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who shaped encouragingly sent chasing here (2m) 18 days ago and return to this trip will suit. Should progress and one to consider. | |||
2nd (5)  (5.5/1 -38%)The Electrician |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Electrician 5.5/1, Off the mark in C&D novices' handicap chase 18 days ago, things rather falling apart behind him, soon clear after rallying to lead entering straight. This looks tougher up 6 lb. | |||
3rd (9)  (6.5/1 +19%)Going Mobile |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Going Mobile 6.5/1, Just 1 win to his name, never a threat dropped right out and taking a strong hold at Sedgefield last month. Down in trip with different headgear tried. | |||
4th (3)  (2.75/1 +39%)Cool Country |
2.75/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cool Country 2.75/1, Dual winner at Sedgefield in recent months and ran well over 2m here last time despite making mistakes. Cheekpieces back on and probably vulnerable over this longer trip. | |||
5th (8)  (20/1 +39%)Astute Boy |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Astute Boy 20/1, Flat winner but a maiden over jumps, including in points, third last time (May 14). | |||
6th (2)  (6/1 +14%)Monsieur Co |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Monsieur Co 6/1, Not won for a while and found his run of creditable efforts ending at Perth (3m) last time. | |||
7th (7)  (8/1 -7%)Duneomeno |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Duneomeno 8/1, Showed much improved form when off the mark on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in February. Well backed but didn't get very far on second run over fences at Plumpton 7 weeks ago. Retains potential up in trip. | |||
8th (10)  (16/1 +11%)Roll Of Thunder |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Roll Of Thunder 16/1, Another on a long losing run, faring respectably after 8 weeks off with a typical display when third over C&D 5 weeks ago, plugging on from well off the pace. | |||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 -41%)Bandit D'ainay |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bandit D'ainay 12/1, Four-time winner over fences in France. Better signs for new yard over 2m here 8 weeks ago and player back up in trip if building on that. |

1st (8)  (7/1 +0%)Baraboy |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Baraboy 7/1, Inconsistent type nowadays but has saved some of his best efforts for this C&D, including a win in November. Creditable fourth (Lord Caprio second) here last month. | |||
2nd (5)  (2/1 +69%)Jack Yeats |
2/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jack Yeats 2/1, Maiden over hurdles and produced a laboured effort at Sedgefield last time. Down another 2 lb with cheekpieces back on. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -11%)Lord Caprio |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lord Caprio 3.33/1, C&D winner last August who added to his tally at Sedgefield in November. Creditable second over C&D 18 days ago. Likely to give another good account. | |||
4th (7)  (4.5/1 -13%)Inferno Sacree |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Inferno Sacree 4.5/1, Poor form but has fewer convictions than a few of these and he likely has the ability to make his presence felt off this mark if he can learn to settle a bit better. | |||
5th (4)  (22/1 -38%)Across The Channel |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Across The Channel 22/1, Point winner but no better than modest form over hurdles/fences for Philip Hobbs, leaving that stable since finishing well held in a Worcester chase last month. | |||
6th (6)  (8/1 -7%)Old Jewry |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Old Jewry 8/1, Scored at Carlisle in February. Also placed at Perth and Ayr this spring but he needs to shrug off a lesser run over C&D last month. | |||
7th (3)  (22/1 -22%)Jovial Jack |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jovial Jack 22/1, Poor form in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Best watched on yard debut unless the bettting suggests otherwise. | |||
8th (2)  (10/1 -100%)Leeswood Lily |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Leeswood Lily 10/1, Winner of back-to-back handicap hurdles at Sedgefield at the start of the year but the handicapper has held the upper hand since. Quickly reverts to hurdles after failing to take to fences last time. Brian Hughes takes the ride. |

1st (5)  (4/1 -45%)Annies Regatta |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Annies Regatta 4/1, 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the mix. | |||
2nd (1)  (9/1 -80%)Melburnian |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Melburnian 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles for Tony Martin but a fair 12f winner on Flat, so she merits serious consideration for her new yard on handicap debut despite 8-month absence. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +0%)Chemical Warfare |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chemical Warfare 4/1, Best effort when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) 25 days ago. One for the shortlist eased 2 lb. | |||
4th (4)  (2.5/1 +44%)My Macho Man |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Macho Man 2.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code when good third of 6 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f) 6 days ago. Enters calculations with visor on for first time. | |||
5th (8)  (14/1 +0%)That's Your Lottie |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) That's Your Lottie 14/1, Arrives below par, only fourth of 6 in 2m handicap hurdle at Perth 23 days ago. Others are more persuasive. | |||
6th (7)  (22/1 +78%)Geyser |
22/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Geyser 22/1, Winless since 2019, and only ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for with work to do. | |||
7th (3)  (5.5/1 +39%)High Sheriff |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) High Sheriff 5.5/1, Off 5 months/tongue strap on when tenth in handicap hurdle at Newcastle in January on his final run for Kenny Johnson. Well weighted on his best form, so well worth considering for his in-form new stable after a break. | |||
|F| (2)  (11/1 -83%)Charle Brune |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charle Brune 11/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when eighth on Flat at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on now, and he's not ruled out returned to this sphere. | |||
|PU| (9)  (100/1 -52%)Mr Jv |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mr Jv 100/1, Poor maiden hurdler. Off 11 months and hooded ahead of his handicap debut. Easy to look elsewhere. |

4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Storm Lorenzo 4.5/1, Fair hurdler at best but only ninth in 11-runner handicap at Sedgefield on final outing. Makes chase debut after 4 months off. | |||

5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fiston Du Mou 5/1, Looked very limited in Ireland for Sean Thomas Doyle but stepped up on his recent stable debut to get off the mark under Rules in 3m handicap chase at Perth 24 days ago, well on top finish. Cheekpieces back on. | |||
3rd (4)  (100/1 -25%)Oishin |
100/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oishin 100/1, Lightly raced and no form over fences, unseating his rider back from 11 months off in race won by Fiston du Mou at Perth recently. | |||
4th (3)  (11/1 +21%)Glan Y Gors |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glan Y Gors 11/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 but has shown a bit of aptitude for chasing, albeit at a modest level. | |||
|PU| (2)  (0.5/1 -127%)Stoney Mountain |
0.5/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stoney Mountain 0.5/1, Useful hurdler who got off the mark in this sphere in a thin race here (20.1f) 35 days ago, stayed on to lead final 50 yds. Can follow up in first-time cheekpieces. |

1.2/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Free Chakarte 1.2/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m) in France for Christophe Ferland, winner of claimers on last 2 starts. Represents last year's winning connections so demands plenty of respect. | |||
2nd (5)  (8.5/1 +6%)Quickdrawmcgraw |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Quickdrawmcgraw 8.5/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, but bred to make a hurdler, so no forlorn hope having his first go in this sphere. | |||
3rd (2)  (66/1 -32%)Exceed All Limits |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Exceed All Limits 66/1, Has looked limited on the Flat and looks set for another struggle on hurdling bow. | |||

8.5/1(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) National Charter 8.5/1, Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1¾m, best effort when third in handicap last time. Sold from William Haggas 16,000 gns later in April, and could play a part if she takes to the new discipline. | |||
6th (3)  (6/1 -167%)Jad Mahal |
6/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jad Mahal 6/1, Standout effort (fair form) on Flat when third in 7f maiden at 2 yrs. Poor run at Goodwood last time but gelded since and stable does well in this discipline. | |||

20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moonlight Dawn 20/1, Well held in maiden only Flat start 7 months ago, so hard to make a solid case for switched to hurdling. | |||
|F| (1)  (3.5/1 +61%)Bukela |
3.5/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bukela 3.5/1, Modest maiden on Flat, best effort at 1¾m, disappointing last time. Others are more persuasive. |

2.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dolly Dancer 2.75/1, C&D winner in May last year off 9 lb higher. Operating below best at present (bled last time) so it would take a leap of faith required to support her. | |||
2nd (3)  (4.5/1 -13%)Prince Dundee |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prince Dundee 4.5/1, Notched a third C&D win last May (from a mark of 100) and hit the crossbar on 3 subsequent occasions since, hindered by his jumping when third last month. Same trainer/jockey combination won this last year and he's fancied to be in the mix. | |||
3rd (7)  (1.5/1 +14%)Motown Lake |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Motown Lake 1.5/1, Responded well to the addition of cheekpieces when making it second time lucky over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) in February and resumed winning ways at Ffos Las 19 days ago. Another bold showing anticipated from 5 lb higher. | |||
4th (6)  (3.5/1 +42%)Four Horsemen |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Four Horsemen 3.5/1, Ended his time with T. J. Nagle Jnr in good order but was well held on first start for his new yard at Cork 4 weeks ago. Back over the larger obstacles today and he should be capable of better in this sphere. | |||
|PU| (1)  (33/1 -136%)Thomas Shelby |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thomas Shelby 33/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Caroline Bailey in Britain. Not shown form in some time (including in points) so percentage call is to look elsewhere. |

2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Restitution 2.25/1, Fairly useful winner at up to 2m on the Flat and has taken well to hurdles. Slightly disappointing at Fakenham but quickly back on track when second at Southwell. Step up in trip will suit and player. | |||

3.33/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Barney Stinson 3.33/1, Ran best race since joining this yard having dropped another chunk in the weights when fourth at Ayr last month. No forlorn hope eased another 2 lb. | |||

9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cash Again 9/1, Opened hurdles account at Sedgefield in December 2020 and also landed a handicap chase here 3 months later. Signs of decline in 4 starts last season, however. | |||

8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fathers Advice 8/1, Quickly back to form when second in Perth handicap and backed that up when fourth there last month. Remains lightly raced so not ruled out. | |||

8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Guido Reni 8.5/1, Not on a bad mark on the pick of last season's form but winless since January 2018 and beaten over 20 lengths back over hurdles at Limerick 9 days ago. | |||
6th (10)  (10/1 +9%)Topkapi Star |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Topkapi Star 10/1, In decent form over hurdles prior to falling at the fifth at Musselburgh in March. Has had couple of spins on the Flat since and of interest back over hurdles off a career-low mark. | |||

11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cyrus Keep 11/1, Back to form when winning this last year off same mark. Below par in 3 starts since but no surprise if he bounced back again. | |||

33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Kiltorcan Boy 33/1, Hinted at ability in 3 qualifying runs and better can be expected now up in trip on handicap bow. | |||

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.
