1st (6)  (3.5/1 +30%)Scottish Accent |
3.5/1(+30%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scottish Accent 3.5/1, Off the mark over fences at Carlisle (20f) in February and back in form the last twice. Ran well sole run here over hurdles but suspect he'll be vulnerable to improvers in this contest. | |||
2nd (5)  (4/1 -45%)Deep Charm |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Deep Charm 4/1, Has immediately improved for the switch to fences this term, following home subsequent winner here (23.4f) before opening his account at Hexham over further, forging clear. More to come. | |||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +33%)Uptown Harry |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Uptown Harry 5/1, Backed at long odds and bounced back to something like his winning Perth form in the spring when held in second here (22.3f) 3 weeks ago, despite jumping right throughout. Dropped 1 lb and considered. | |||
4th (3)  (4/1 -78%)Pitempton Power |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pitempton Power 4/1, Hasn't looked back since switched to fences, following up his Carlisle win at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Up another 8 lb but could have more to offer, this longer trip in his favour. | |||
5th (7)  (20/1 -43%)Boy's On Tour |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Boy's On Tour 20/1, Continues to fall in the weights but merely extended a losing run which is beginning to mount up when held at Musselburgh in October (plenty of mistakes). Tricky to fancy after a break. | |||
6th (1)  (3.33/1 +39%)Into Overdrive |
3.33/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Into Overdrive 3.33/1, Winning pointer/hurdler. Ran well at Wetherby on Boxing Day and quickly switched to chasing from a potentially good mark. One to consider. | |||
7th (2)  (12/1 +33%)Ain't My Fault |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ain't My Fault 12/1, Scored twice around 2m over fences last season. Jumped none too fluently and well beaten on last month's return at Doncaster, but could come on for that and handicapper has given him a hand. |

1st (4)  (11/1 -29%)Evita Du Mesnil |
11/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Evita Du Mesnil 11/1, Strong-travelling mare who bagged her third victory for current yard at Perth in May. Struggled to land a blow both starts back from a break but now just 1 lb above last winning mark. | |||
2nd (12)  (11/1 -38%)Baraboy |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Baraboy 11/1, Back to peak fitness on third start back from a lengthy absence when landing handicap hurdle at Hexham. Fair third at Sedgefield next time but unable to continue the good work at Newcastle. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.33/1 +0%)Bestiarius |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bestiarius 3.33/1, Fair hurdler who showed he retains ability despite jumping poorly when third at Hexham on belated reappearance. Has shaped as though still in good form both starts since and a bold bid is assured. | |||
4th (8)  (12/1 +14%)Jamil |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jamil 12/1, Modest at best on the Flat and has offered little over hurdles in recent weeks, including on handicap debut fitted with a tongue tie. | |||
5th (10)  (9/1 +36%)Southeast Rose |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Southeast Rose 9/1, Handicap chase winner from 10 lb higher in November 2020. Off nearly a year and very little to shout about this term so has a lot to prove back over hurdles. | |||
6th (2)  (6/1 -20%)Ensel Du Perche |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ensel Du Perche 6/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland. Low-key start initially for this yard but dropped quickly in the weights and much more like it when runner-up at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. | |||
7th (1)  (8/1 +11%)Saryshagann |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Saryshagann 8/1, Fairly useful but ungenuine on Flat (stays 11f). Fair form at best over hurdles but proved too free both starts for this yard back from long absence last month. | |||
8th (5)  (7.5/1 +6%)Fourth Of July |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fourth Of July 7.5/1, Back-to-back handicap chase winner here in March. Rather in-and-out over the larger obstacles since and lower hurdles mark is justified. | |||
9th (6)  (50/1 -178%)Choix Des Armes |
50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Choix Des Armes 50/1, Successful hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2018. Below that level in light career for this yard since but jumping will be put under less pressure returned to timber. | |||
10th (14)  (8.5/1 +6%)Flash Moriviere |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Flash Moriviere 8.5/1, French import who is yet to offer any encouragement for this yard. | |||
11th (15)  (50/1 -317%)Sisu |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Sisu 50/1, Looked rather limited on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and makes a quick switch to handicaps following a brace of fourth-place finishes at Sedgefield. | |||
12th (7)  (150/1 -88%)Rip Rocks Paddy Ok |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rip Rocks Paddy Ok 150/1, Fairly useful winning ex-Irish hurdler but has shown nothing in 6 starts for Kevin Hunter. | |||
13th (13)  (66/1 -32%)Abouttimeyoutoldme |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Abouttimeyoutoldme 66/1, No impact on Flat or over hurdles. | |||
14th (9)  (7/1 +30%)Bouncing Bobby |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bouncing Bobby 7/1, Modest stayer on the Flat who has shown a bit under waiting tactics all 3 of his qualifying runs. Likely improver now handicapping. |

1st (1)  (0.4/1 +45%)Soft Risk |
0.4/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Soft Risk 0.4/1, Easy winner of Ayr bumper on debut in May and looked a good prospect when taking a novice hurdle at the same course (2m) on return. Easily followed up over C&D 18 days ago and looks one to follow. | |||
2nd (7)  (14/1 +0%)Travail D'orfevre |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Travail D'orfevre 14/1, Ayr bumper winner who shaped with some encouragement on the back of a wind operation sent hurdling when fourth there in November. Similar form in maiden next time but handicaps will be more his bag. | |||
3rd (3)  (33/1 -50%)Andante |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Andante 33/1, Well ridden to make a winning bumper debut at Newcastle (14.3f) last December. Disappointed next time but has offered something to work on both starts over hurdles. More needed here though. | |||
4th (2)  (2.5/1 -25%)Believe Jack |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Believe Jack 2.5/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) who built on his hurdling debut promise for Ellmarie Holden to get off the mark in 9-runner novice at Hereford (16.2f) in November. Open to further improvement. | |||
5th (8)  (11/1 -47%)Well Planted |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Well Planted 11/1, Modest Flat winner who was shaping well until falling last on hurdles bow at Sedgefield in October. Left John Quinn prior to finishing second in Ayr novice but not in same form at Sedgefield since. | |||
6th (5)  (150/1 -88%)Lisloran |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lisloran 150/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Kissesforkatie. Maiden Irish pointer, third last time (Nov 14). Easy to look elsewhere on Rules debut. | |||
7th (9)  (125/1 +38%)Annies Regatta |
125/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Annies Regatta 125/1, Achieved little in bumpers and similar story in both starts over hurdles. | |||
8th (6)  (125/1 -150%)Ralphy Boy Two |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ralphy Boy Two 125/1, Fair on the Flat but has made an unpromising start to his hurdling career, well held in a couple of starts at Newcastle. Faces another struggle. | |||
9th (10)  (150/1 -127%)West Lawn |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) West Lawn 150/1, Has a stout pedigree and looked short of pace in a 2m bumper here 8 months ago. Never on terms switched to hurdling recently so tough to see her featuring on that evidence. | |||
|PU| (4)  (300/1 -200%)Last Glance |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Last Glance 300/1, Has failed to beat a rival in 6 starts on the Flat. Absent since 2019 and hood applied for this yard/hurdles bow. |

1st (4)  (3.33/1 -11%)Stainsby Girl |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stainsby Girl 3.33/1, Dual hurdles winner in 2020 and ran best race yet in this sphere when second in hot handicap at Haydock (18.9f) 7 weeks ago, headed only late on. Up 3 lb but wouldn't dismiss back in trip. | |||
2nd (1)  (1/1 +50%)Elvis Mail |
1/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Elvis Mail 1/1, Useful hurdler/chaser with good record at Kelso. Ran well in class 2 handicap back over hurdles at Aintree 6 weeks ago and one to consider for yard among the winners. | |||
3rd (3)  (4.5/1 -100%)Word Has It |
4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Word Has It 4.5/1, Dual winning novice hurdler last season (including over C&D). Fell at the first making chasing debut after 9 months off at Haydock and quickly back over the smaller obstacles in a handicap. Respected. | |||
4th (2)  (12/1 -9%)Albert's Back |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Albert's Back 12/1, Decisive winner of handicap hurdles at Wetherby and Haydock last season. Might have still needed his second run back last month at Aintree (pulled up behind Elvis Mail) and lurks on a good mark. | |||
5th (5)  (12/1 -41%)Serious Ego |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Serious Ego 12/1, Won at Haydock this time last year but rather hard to catch right again since, finding less than looked likely at Ayr having run well on his comeback at Hexham. Back down in trip. | |||
6th (6)  (20/1 +20%)Battle Of Wills |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Battle Of Wills 20/1, Maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, but little to shout about in various company for current yard. Hard to fancy back over hurdles. |

1st (1)  (2.5/1 +0%)Big River |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big River 2.5/1, Veteran staying chaser who has a very good record at this track and resumed winning ways in the Borders National here (32.4f) 6 weeks ago. Drop back in trip not ideal but does well in small fields. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.75/1 +31%)Cash To Ash |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cash To Ash 2.75/1, Notched second win over fences in 3m handicap at Ayr in March. Good placed efforts this season, behind Big River in the Borders National here, while latest Market Rasen run was probably a career best. | |||
3rd (2)  (2.5/1 -43%)Mister Whitaker |
2.5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mister Whitaker 2.5/1, Useful handicap chaser for Mick Channon. Nowhere near as good over hurdles but managed to land a novice here before good second at Sedgefield. Given chance by handicapper back in this sphere. | |||
4th (3)  (3.33/1 +5%)Saint Xavier |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Saint Xavier 3.33/1, More miss than hit for present stable but he arrives in good nick, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Haydock (21.6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Return to this trip will suit. Could be the answer. |

1st (8)  (5.5/1 +54%)To The Limit |
5.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) To The Limit 5.5/1, Placed on a couple of occasions in this sphere and not disgraced when fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Exposed as a poor maiden chaser, however. | |||
2nd (3)  (5.5/1 -83%)Lastofthecosmics |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lastofthecosmics 5.5/1, Modest 20f winner over hurdles who left chase debut form behind when second at Musselburgh last 2 starts. May be capable of better still over fences. | |||
3rd (6)  (5/1 +41%)Don't Need To Know |
5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Don't Need To Know 5/1, Went close to breaking his duck at Newcastle in March. Looked very rusty returning at Sedgefield and has duly built on that since, again not seen to best effect at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. | |||
4th (7)  (4/1 +50%)Skyhill |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Skyhill 4/1, Recorded a 4-timer in 2019/20. Hasn't scored since, however, and last 3 runs have been below par. | |||
5th (5)  (3/1 -20%)Eveque |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Eveque 3/1, Showed little over hurdles but made a promising debut over fences when second at Hexham and took another step forward when runner-up at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Sure to go well again. | |||
6th (9)  (16/1 -78%)Silver Star Mix |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Silver Star Mix 16/1, Maiden pointer who has finished out with the washing on all 5 completed starts under Rules. Makes chase debut. | |||
7th (2)  (100/1 -52%)Tintern Theatre |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tintern Theatre 100/1, Not the force of old and not much encouragement to glean from his 2 runs over hurdles for this yard. | |||
|B| (1)  (8/1 -100%)Prince Dundee |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prince Dundee 8/1, Bagged his third win at Hexham in May and arrives in fine heart, finishing runner-up for the third start in a row here (26f) latest. Player off same mark. | |||
|F| (4)  (25/1 +11%)Nakadam |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nakadam 25/1, Veteran chaser who has been badly out of sorts this season, so easy enough to look elsewhere. Change of headgear. |

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.
