1st (1)  (3.2/1 -60%)Awesomedude |
3.2/1(-60%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Awesomedude 3.2/1, Most progressive on the Flat for James Ferguson in 2020, completing a 5-timer. Fair efforts over hurdles a year ago while not jumping too fluently. Returns in a winnable maiden and leading claims. | |||
2nd (3)  (14/1 -27%)Retrospect |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Retrospect 14/1, Fair stayer on the level. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off on hurdles debut at Hexham 17 days ago. Tongue tie on now but needs a big step forward and handicaps might be more his bag. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.38/1 +50%)Patient Dream |
1.38/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Patient Dream 1.38/1, Useful on the Flat and has shown a fair bit over hurdles, going clear for a long way in first-time tongue tie (after wind op) in novice handicap at Worcester 4 weeks ago. Big shout. | |||
4th (7)  (4/1 +60%)Right Turn |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Right Turn 4/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Offered something to work on making hurdling debut after 5 months off for new yard at Stratford 7 weeks ago and should have come on for that. | |||
5th (5)  (6/1 +50%)Grand Revival |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grand Revival 6/1, Flat winner in Ireland but profile over hurdles patchy. New yard in form and he could take a hand. | |||
6th (9)  (80/1 -300%)Belle Na Bann |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Belle Na Bann 80/1, Modest form only start in bumper for Paul Traynor and no impact in pair of maiden hurdles. First run for 6 months. | |||
7th (8)  (14/1 +0%)Vina Bay |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vina Bay 14/1, Fairly useful AW handicapper on Flat (gambled on and back on track on first start since leaving Sylvester Kirk 18 days ago). Cheekpieces go on and got to be respected now hurdling. | |||
|PU| (2)  (300/1 -50%)Fast Deal |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fast Deal 300/1, Poor maiden. No appeal in this company. |

1st (1)  (0.62/1 +50%)Lady Reset |
0.62/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lady Reset 0.62/1, Was in fine form on the Flat/over hurdles throughout 2021/22, winning 5 times, and has filled the runners-up spot under both codes upon returning in recent weeks, including at Doncaster on Saturday. She's well worth a look again here. | |||
2nd (5)  (3/1 -20%)Little Jessture |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Little Jessture 3/1, Bumper winner on debut back in 2020. Little to shout about thereafter on Flat/over hurdles but much more like it (following wind op) when runner-up on handicap bow at Newton Abbot (18.5f) 2 weeks ago. Possibilities with a repeat. | |||
3rd (4)  (9/1 -13%)Ince |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ince 9/1, Fair performer on Flat in France who was undone by mistakes in maiden/novice hurdles upon joining present stable last year. Better in that department when fifth in a Worcester handicap (2m) on return and possible she can build on that from this sort of mark. | |||
4th (3)  (33/1 -106%)Brooklyn Belle |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brooklyn Belle 33/1, Minor promise in bumpers/over hurdles for Seamus Mullins/Mick Easterby but absent since finishing last of 6 in a mares' maiden at Southwell 12 months ago. Market best guide now handicapping for new yard. | |||
5th (2)  (12/1 -167%)Dylan's Sea Song |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dylan's Sea Song 12/1, Successful twice last summer, latterly from a 2 lb lower mark at Stratford (18.6f) in July. Lesser efforts final 2 starts but freshened up since and she's not dismissed lightly on return. |

1st (2)  (0.67/1 +19%)Mortlach |
0.67/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mortlach 0.67/1, Promise in a light career under Rules, readily winning a 19f Warwick maiden hurdle last month. Point win in Ireland provides hope that he can prove at least as good over fences. Looks to have struck upon a weak race here. | |||
2nd (1)  (2/1 +11%)Morgenstern |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Morgenstern 2/1, Four-time hurdles winner in France. Form has been patchy since crossing the Channel, but he did manage to make the most of a good opportunity over fences at Stratford (19.5f) last month. Already off bridle when brought down fifth at Southwell since. | |||
3rd (3)  (14/1 -56%)Faro |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Faro 14/1, Won twice over hurdles in France but he's hasn't threatened in handicaps over hurdles and fences for this yard. Mark has come down a good way as a result but others are still preferred. | |||
4th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Harry Hazard |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Harry Hazard 12/1, Poor maiden. Ran one of his better races when third at Plumpton last time but he's 7 lb out of the handicap here. |

1st (4)  (2.25/1 +44%)Dorrells Pierji |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dorrells Pierji 2.25/1, Dual bumper/hurdles winner for Willie Mullins back in 2018. Didn't offer much in 3 starts for Chris Honour last year but handicap mark has plummeted and new connections may be able to take advantage. | |||
2nd (3)  (6.5/1 +41%)Gloire D'athon |
6.5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gloire D'athon 6.5/1, Won a maiden hurdle for Henry de Bromhead in July and offered more for current yard when second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. This looks more competitive, however. | |||
3rd (6)  (8/1 -191%)True Romance |
8/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) True Romance 8/1, Solid second at Sedgefield (19.9f) when last seen in this sphere and acquitted himself well on the level since. Likely contender. | |||
4th (2)  (3.5/1 +0%)Mulberry Hill |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mulberry Hill 3.5/1, Perfomed well all 3 starts for Fergal O'Brien, latest when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 11/8) in September. May well do better still now sent handicapping. | |||
5th (5)  (6/1 +0%)Puffin Bay |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Puffin Bay 6/1, Proving consistent over hurdles, latest when second of 4 in handicap (8/1) at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 29 days ago. Should give another good account. | |||
|PU| (8)  (6/1 +40%)Albert Van Ornum |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Albert Van Ornum 6/1, Fair ex-French 13f Flat winner. Clear signs of ability in juvenile/maiden hurdles but beaten a long way out when last seen at Fontwell in December. Something to prove now. | |||
|PU| (1)  (11/1 +61%)The Bees Knees |
11/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Bees Knees 11/1, Not scored since 2020 and last 2 efforts in this sphere have left something to be desired. |

1st (4)  (3/1 +40%)Getthepot |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Getthepot 3/1, Just sole success over hurdles and arrives on back of poor effort at Southwell last month. Remains to be seen if switch to chasing brings about improvement. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.62/1 +28%)Gouet Des Bruyeres |
1.62/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gouet Des Bruyeres 1.62/1, Returning from 3 months off when creditable second of 8 in handicap chase (11/2) at Hereford (19f, good) 44 days ago. 1 lb lower now and holds solid claims. | |||
3rd (7)  (7.5/1 -25%)Getaman |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getaman 7.5/1, Still to win, but he failed to stay over 22f when sixth in Hereford handicap hurdle when last seen in October and is much respected on his chase debut back over a more suitable trip here. | |||
4th (3)  (3.33/1 +5%)Zuckerberg |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Zuckerberg 3.33/1, Yet to win in this country, but has finished in the money on several occasions, latest when third at Sedgefield (19.3f) in March. Run creditably on the Flat since and likely to be in the mix here. | |||
5th (1)  (11/1 +31%)Monarchofthegrange |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Monarchofthegrange 11/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Offered more for new connections over fences when third at Fakenham (16.3f) in January but others more appealing. | |||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 -50%)Old Harry Rocks |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Old Harry Rocks 18/1, Landed a gamble off reduced mark in 21f Newton Abbot novices' handicap chase in spring of last year. Not added to that victory since, however, and was particularly disappointing last time. | |||
|PU| (8)  (150/1 +0%)L'es Fremantle |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) L'es Fremantle 150/1, Poor hurdler/chaser who looks set for another struggle from 6 lb out of the handicap. |

1st (5)  (2.5/1 +9%)Sirobbie |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sirobbie 2.5/1, Winless since 2020, but has edged down the weights and solid third off this mark in a 14-runner Haydock handicap (24.3f) last month. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture. | |||
2nd (3)  (6/1 +14%)Galileo Silver |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Galileo Silver 6/1, Dual winner over fences in December, including here, and acquitted himself well back in this sphere when second in a four-runner affair at Ffos Las (2½m) last time. Couldn't be sure that moving back up in trip will be in his favour. | |||
3rd (6)  (4.5/1 -13%)Del Duque |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Del Duque 4.5/1, Won twice in summer 2020 and caught eye when third at Market Rasen in March (second run after 16-month absence). Has a race in him from this mark and merits strong consideration with conditions to suit. | |||
4th (2)  (3.33/1 +5%)Flashing Glance |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flashing Glance 3.33/1, Back on the scoresheet at Hereford in December and notched another win when proving 1¼ lengths too good for Sirobbie at Taunton (3m). This definitely a deeper race, but only nudged up 2 lb and he needs considering. | |||
5th (1)  (22/1 -300%)Haul Away |
22/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Haul Away 22/1, Four-time winner last year, in this sphere and over fences, and good third in a Cheltenham handicap hurdle off 1 lb higher in October. However, well held back from a break there last month and looks high enough in the weights for now. | |||
6th (7)  (9/1 +18%)Gleno |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gleno 9/1, Won three of his five starts at around 3m over fences last term and creditable second off 2 lb higher on latest start in this sphere at Plumpton (25f) in March. Possibilities if he responds well to the fitting of blinkers. | |||
7th (4)  (6.5/1 +54%)Farrants Way |
6.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Farrants Way 6.5/1, Evidently hasn't been the easiest to train, but proved that ability remains intact when fourth in first-time cheekpieces back hurdling at Warwick (3¼m) in March. Given a chance by the handicapper (now 4 lb lower) and now tried in blinkers, but could do with rain. |

1st (1)  (0.44/1 +40%)Downtown Getaway |
0.44/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Downtown Getaway 0.44/1, Found life much easier when switched to a hunter at Kelso last time, jumping well and easing clear to score by 7 lengths. Looks well capable of going in again with Derek O'Connor on board. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.5/1 +25%)Just Cause |
2.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Just Cause 2.5/1, Winning hurdler who has been prolific in points and wasn't disgraced when runner-up to Downtown Getaway at Kelso 13 days ago. 4 lb better off with that rival and return to this sort of trip should help. | |||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -118%)Spectacular Rival |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Spectacular Rival 12/1, Well held in a bumper on sole Flat run 3 years ago. Won twice in points in 2022, second of 3 last time (May 2). Not completely dismissed. | |||
4th (5)  (33/1 -136%)Sulu Magic |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sulu Magic 33/1, Multiple point winner, but retains little ability (unseated rider last time, May 2). Hard to make a case for. | |||
5th (2)  (50/1 +24%)Chapelier |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chapelier 50/1, Point winner before pulled up in a hunter at Fakenham a month ago. Hard to fancy. |

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.
