Fourth Of July

3.2/1(+9%)
(8) Fourth Of July 3.2/1, Maiden hurdler who made a bright start over fences when second at Catterick (15.6f) in December. Below that level at Musselburgh since but had wind op since and its early days in this sphere.

Lastin' Memories

7/1(-8%)
(5) Lastin' Memories 7/1, Gained due reward for string of good efforts when scoring over C&D last winter but consistency has deserted him since, pulled up on 3 of his 4 starts so far this term.

6/1(+14%)
(1) Mah Mate Bob 6/1, Productive over fences during 2019/20 season, winning 3 times at up to 19.3f. Fairly low-key efforts late last year but mark has eased and no forlorn hope down in grade following a break.

Ashjan

5/1(+0%)
(7) Ashjan 5/1, Arrives on a long losing run but he didn't shape badly when third over extended 2m at Sedgefield latest, keeping on without posing a threat. Not dismissed out of hand on balance. Cheekpieces back on.

Book Of Invasions

6/1(-9%)
(4) Book Of Invasions 6/1, Yet to match the pick of his hurdles form in this sphere, losing touch some way out when pulled up at Musselburgh (20.3f) in January. Midfield in jumpers bumper since but others more persuasive.

Too Wise Man

5.5/1(+45%)
(3) Too Wise Man 5.5/1, Headstrong sort who offered nothing when pulled up in 3m handicap chase at Bangor when last seen in the autumn. Will need to jump better on the back of a 5-month break.

Fair Kate

8.5/1(-89%)
(2) Fair Kate 8.5/1, Fair hurdles winner (albeit somewhat disappointing in that sphere) and she failed to stop the slide for the switch to chasing at Wincanton (15.7f) last month. Booking of Hughes is noteworthy, though.

Graystown

12/1(-50%)
(6) Graystown 12/1, Eased in the weights and capitalised with back-to-back Hexham handicaps, dead-heating for the latest of them. Not so good in 3 starts subsequently, running poorly at Musselburgh in January.

Torn And Frayed

2/1(+56%)
(6) Torn And Frayed 2/1, Produced a better round of jumping when opening account with plenty to spare on Hereford handicap debut (19.7f) last week. This is a stronger race but he's still respected under a penalty.

2.75/1(+17%)
(9) Mega Yeats 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Ruth Jefferson, shaping well in 2 good handicaps in 2019. Very encouraging start for new yard after 14 months off/wind op in AW bumper and lots to like back over timber.

War Lord

14/1(-27%)

6.5/1(+19%)
(1) Sebastopol 6.5/1, 2-3 in handicaps hurdles last season, but shaped like a non-stayer tackling a a new trip at Musselburgh (19.8f) in December. Break/breathing operation needs to have a positive effect.

9th (2) Sail Away (16/1 -88%)
Sail Away

16/1(-88%)
(2) Sail Away 16/1, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles at up to 2m for Guillaume Macaire, winning juvenile event at Compiegne in 2019. Opening mark no gimme on that evidence but has joined a top yard. Tongue tied.

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. 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.
