17:52 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (8/1 -45%) Okami	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) Okami 8/1, Opened account at Chelmsford City in July. 10/3, not seen to best effect when fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be suited by this trip and he can get back to winning ways. Narrow win on handicap debut before left poorly placed over C&D; player if pace sound.
2	9 2nd (9) (5.5/1 +31%) Surrey Noir	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(9) Surrey Noir 5.5/1, Failed to meet expectations when fifth of 9 on handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good, 10/3) 55 days ago. Has been gelded since and now has cheekpieces on 1st time. Could yet do better back on all-weather. Has to bounce back but still looks raw and gelding operation could be the making of him.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +40%) Rogue Soldier	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Rogue Soldier 6/1, Below form after 8 weeks off when fourth of 6 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 6/1) 20 days ago, though possibly unsuited by step up in trip under testing conditions. Makes handicap debut. Positives to take from first three runs and latest effort forgivable; handicap bow.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -9%) Abbey's Dream	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Abbey's Dream 6/1, Won twice at Newcastle (7.1f) early this year, with his latest success in February. Ran up to best on turf debut when second of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 17/2) 7 days ago. Can make her presence felt. Pleasing turf debut last week and bulk of AW form brings her into the equation; rail draw.
5th	8 5th (8) (5.5/1 +45%) City Cyclone	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(8) City Cyclone 5.5/1, Stepped up on recent outing when third of 7 in handicap at Sandown (1m, heavy, 15/2) 3 weeks ago. Can give his running again. Far from disgraced for new yard and no surprise if giving this a good shot from the front.
6th	12 6th (12) (8/1 +50%) Island Native	8 8/1(+50%)	(12) Island Native 8/1, Failed to build on promise of previous run when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 5/1) 15 days ago, though possibly unsuited by conditions. Others still preferred. Best judged on first of two handicap runs but others preferred in this 0-70.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Garrick Street	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Garrick Street 11/1, Had excuses for previous outing, but below form when twelfth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at this course (1m) 9 days ago. Improvement required with blinkers now reached for. Yet to really do it in handicaps and finished down the field here last week.
8th	11 8th (11) (6/1 +33%) Wadi Bani	6 6/1(+33%)	(11) Wadi Bani 6/1, Shaped as if back in form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to soft, 9/1) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Interesting contender having had a wind op since last time. Interesting to see if supporters return having undergone wind surgery.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -522%) Evenstar	28 28/1(-522%)	(7) Evenstar 28/1, After 7 months off with tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped as if needing run when seventh of 9 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 17/2) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces now added as she makes handicap bow. Some appeal on first two runs; market can guide now switched to handicaps.
10th	1 10th (1) (28/1 -211%) Kokomo	28 28/1(-211%)	(1) Kokomo 28/1, Hooded for 1st time, failed to improve when tenth of 13 on handicap debut at York (5.4f, good, 9/1) 26 days ago. Could do with settling better as she goes back up in trip. Down the field on handicap debut last month and could do with settling better.
11th	4 11th (4) (9/1 +36%) Dartman	9 9/1(+36%)	(4) Dartman 9/1, Had been running consistently well prior to a below-par effort (possibly unsuited by the track) when last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 17/2) 13 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back. 0-7 and has gone backwards this year; risky proposition.

LTO Selection:

17:52 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This looks a tough one to call, so a tentative vote goes to EVENSTAR, who makes her handicap bow after finishing down the field on her return to action at Ripon, a track that didn't seem to favour her. The daughter of Havana Grey could be let in leniently off a mark of 68 based on her debut run at Southwell. Abbey's Dream filled the runner-up spot at Salisbury last time and she could get involved off the same rating. Surrey Noir is another to note in first-time cheekpieces.

Having made a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford in July, OKAMI had excuses at this C&D on his latest outing (left poorly placed) and he can get back on the up to resume winning ways. Abbey's Dream ran well on her turf debut a week ago and can give another good account back on all-weather, with Surrey Noir completing the shortlist.

Narrow preference is for SURREY NOIR who really should have a win under his belt but looks just the type to benefit from being gelded.

Dam, 5f and (at 2 yrs) 6f winner, out of half-sister to very smart sprinter Snaefell. Similar form when making the frame at Newbury/Ascot and those efforts make him the one to beat up in trip. Made the frame at Newbury and Ascot last month; one of the main form contenders.

Will stay 7f and is likely to progress further, so needs considering under a penalty. Scored at Chelmsford on latest 6f start; open to further progress and should stay 7f.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 -100%) Dunstan	12 12/1(-100%)	(4) Dunstan 12/1, Foaled May 13. 32,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior colt.

May well do better again. Placed over C&D two weeks ago and looks a likely player if repeating that form.
9th	10 9th (10) (100/1 -100%) Miss Gitana	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Miss Gitana 100/1, Nathaniel filly. Dam, 5.7f-7f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Trevaunance. Modest form in novices at Beverley/Lingfield. Gives the impression that handicaps will be her scene.

LTO Selection:

18:22 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ALJEZUR has produced two promising efforts so far in his young career, with the latest of them coming at Ascot when getting up for fourth late on, suggesting he is ready for a step up in trip. Therefore, with plenty of improvement to come, he could be the one to beat. Musical Act was sent off favourite for his debut at Doncaster, so his run looked too bad to be true and he can be given another chance. Any market support for 32,000gns purchase Dunstan should be noted.

ALJEZUR showed plenty when hitting the frame in a 6f Newbury novice/Ascot maiden and is preferred to Commander of Life, who shoulders a 7 lb penalty for his win at Chelmsford. Swift Victory is another to consider having left his debut run well behind when third over this C&D 2 weeks ago.

Chelmsford winner COMMANDER OF LIFE could well defy a 7lb penalty granted further progress. Swift Victory is second choice.

Dam 1¼m-12.5f winner who stayed 14.5f. 7/1, showed plenty to work on when fourth of 8 in novice at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 10 days ago, slowly away. Has more to offer. Showed some promise at Leicester and looks open to progress; powerful yard.
1	4 1st (4) (0.33/1 +80%) Qirat	0.33 0.33/1(+80%)	(4) Qirat 0.33/1, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Irish Oaks runner-up Bluestocking. Dam winner up to 1m (Matron Stakes and 2-y-o 7f winner). Promising third of 14 in maiden (9/4) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago, never nearer. Form pick and extra 1f will suit. Well-bred colt who made a promising debut at Newmarket; commands respect.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 +25%) The Ice Phoenix	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) The Ice Phoenix 12/1, €48,000 foal, €65,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain colt.

Likely type. 200,000euros 2yo; has a smart pedigree; very interesting newcomer.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 -50%) Teraabb	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Teraabb 18/1, €105,000 yearling, Masar colt. Dam, useful French 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Daarik. Eighth of 10 in novice at Sandown (7f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better (entered for Champagne Stakes). Unable to make much impression on heavy ground at Sandown; may do better.
5th	11 5th (11) (125/1 -25%) Dire Wolf	125 125/1(-25%)	(11) Dire Wolf 125/1, Showcasing filly. Closely related to winner up to 7.4f Qipao. Dam winner up to 7f (including at 2 yrs). Tenth of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good, 200/1) on debut 33 days ago. Down the field at Newbury on debut.

7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +0%) Solar Power	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Solar Power 14/1, 28,000 gns foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Exceed And Excel colt. Closely related to winner up to 8.4f Motarajel and half-brother to 1m-11f winner De Florio. 50/1, fifth of 8 in novice at Salisbury (7f, soft) on debut 39 days ago. Should have more to offer. Needs to improve on Salisbury debut effort.
8th	5 8th (5) (7.5/1 -15%) Royal Tapestry	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(5) Royal Tapestry 7.5/1, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Great Esteem and half-brother to smart 1m-1¼m winner Broderie and useful 7f winner Thread of Silver. Dam 1m winner. 12/1, shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 11 in novice at this C&D on debut 14 days ago. Encouraging debut over C&D two weeks ago; one to consider.
9th	10 9th (10) (200/1 -100%) War Zone	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) War Zone 200/1, Foaled February 23. 10,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Illuminise. 10,000gns yearling; trainer has modest strike-rate with 2yos.

LTO Selection:

18:52 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

QIRAT showed plenty of promise on his debut at Newmarket and, with normal improvement expected, he could prove tough to beat. The main threat might be Clear Image, who ran a respectable fourth on debut at Leicester and he can take a step forward. Spun To Gold is closely related to Tapestry and he would be of interest if the betting market speaks in his favour.

QIRAT's lack of experience arguably prevented him from making a winning debut at Newmarket and he can make amends with this extra furlong likely to suit. Clear Image showed plenty to work on despite being easy to back at Leicester, so is next best ahead of well-bred newcomer Spun To Gold.

As regards the runners with experience, QIRAT is the pick. Well-bred newcomer Spun To Gold is respected.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.14/1 +36%) Naqeeb	0.14 0.14/1(+36%)	(5) Naqeeb 0.14/1, Superbly-bred colt (closely related to top-class pair Baaeed and Hukum) who's going the right way, showing useful form when just edged out at Newmarket last month. This looks an excellent opportunity. Placed all three starts; latest defeat was at 4-7 but good chance to go one better today.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 -77%) Atlantis Blue	3.33 3.33/1(-77%)	(1) Atlantis Blue 3.33/1, Had plenty of chances for David Menuisier but her second in a Bath handicap on stable debut/return in April was her best effort yet. Off since but must be respected. Races freely; one of the top contenders on form and has been runner-up in a Polytrack race.
3	7 3rd (7) (150/1 +25%) Ceejaybe	150 150/1(+25%)	(7) Ceejaybe 150/1, No show in novice/maiden. Had breathing problem when pulled up in juvenile maiden hurdle 57 days ago. Has had a wind op since. Tongue tie goes on. No form in two 1m AW races or hurdling debut; wind surgery since and now has tongue tied.
4	8 4th (8) (22/1 +45%) Buganvillea	22 22/1(+45%)	(8) Buganvillea 22/1, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Rich Legacy and closely related to 1¼m-1½m winner Borneo and half-sister to 1¼m-15f winner Burggraf. 40/1, well-held ninth of 12 in novice at this C&D on debut 14 days ago. Good family; however, tailed off at 40-1 in 1m4f novice here two weeks ago.
5th	3 5th (3) (125/1 -25%) Juan Cool Dude	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Juan Cool Dude 125/1, Well held both starts. Slow starts when tailed-off last twice (6f and 7f) in January; gelded; dam a 12.4f winner.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 +67%) Larkhill	33 33/1(+67%)	(4) Larkhill 33/1, Well held in novice at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 37 days ago. Inauspicious debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in July, beaten long way.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 +50%) Wood Farm Wag	100 100/1(+50%)	(9) Wood Farm Wag 100/1, Little form. Low-level maiden after eight starts; unraced beyond 1m2f.
8th	6 8th (6) (125/1 +38%) Sir Patchy	125 125/1(+38%)	(6) Sir Patchy 125/1, Well held both starts. 150-1 and 300-1, showed low-level form towards rear at Windsor (1m2f) and Kempton (1m).
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 +67%) Quality	33 33/1(+67%)	(2) Quality 33/1, Little form in bumper/over hurdles for Philip Hobbs & Johnson White. Did little for the Hobbs and White yard; makes debut under Flat rules and she is Flat bred.

LTO Selection:

19:22 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

NAQEEB drew well clear with a useful sort at Newmarket last month and a similar level of performance on his Polytrack debut should suffice. Atlantis Blue found only a subsequent winner too strong in a handicap at Bath in April and she is the obvious threat here. Buganvillea and Larkhill are both entitled to build on their respective opening bids and can battle it out for third.

A very thin novice and an excellent opportunity for the progressive NAQEEB. Atlantis Blue is the only realistic threat.

Atlantis Blue showed pretty useful form on her return. Preference is for NAQEEB who rallied when beaten a nose over 1m4f last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3.2/1 +47%) Rajindri	3.2 3.2/1(+47%)	(6) Rajindri 3.2/1, Winner of maiden at Yarmouth (7f) in July. Creditable eighth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, good to soft, 14/1) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Respected in this slightly lower grade. After winning her maiden not a lot went right on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Razeyna	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Razeyna 4/1, 10/3, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Had shaped quite well on her 2 starts prior to that and taken to get back on track in blinkers. First start on polytrack. Ability respected but headgear is turned to after a below-par run at Thirsk.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +44%) Cry Havoc	14 14/1(+44%)	(2) Cry Havoc 14/1, Course winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Something to find on form. Returned to modest mode since going close at Yarmouth three runs back; hard to trust.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +60%) Minnetonka	4 4/1(+60%)	(5) Minnetonka 4/1, Drawn a blank since debut win last summer. 16/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago, slowly away. Essentially disappointing since debut success but returning to 7f is well worth exploring.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -83%) Epsom Faithfull	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) Epsom Faithfull 11/1, Three-time C&D winner. Eight wins from 30 Flat runs. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 13 days ago. Multiple winner but this season hasn't been going to plan with and without headgear.
6th	8 6th (8) (4.5/1 -125%) Adela Of Champagne	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(8) Adela Of Champagne 4.5/1, Improved in handicaps, second over 1m here on reappearance before going one better over C&D 8 weeks ago. Raised 6 lb but it's likely this lightly-raced filly has more to offer. Can pick holes in the form of her C&D win in June but she was in control from some way out.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -133%) Puntarelle	14 14/1(-133%)	(9) Puntarelle 14/1, Winner at Chelmsford (7f) in April. 6/1, last of 5 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Bounce back needed. Won her novice on Polytrack over 7f in April but her last three efforts are a worry.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 -25%) Silent Flame	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Silent Flame 10/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. 11/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 48 days ago but capable of bouncing back. Not had many chances at 7f and was running well until Haydock last time; not ruled out.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 +24%) Inanna	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Inanna 25/1, 28/1, last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Others are more obvious. Has been highly tried but unplaced in all six starts since returning to handicap company.

LTO Selection:

19:52 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ADELA OF CHAMPAGNE relished the drop in trip when making all in taking fashion over C&D in June and a 6lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the Kingman filly from completing the double. Rajindri shaped better than the finishing position suggests on her handicap debut at Goodwood in early August and this ease in class gives her a definite chance. Razeyna races off her latest winning mark and first-time blinkers bring William Haggas' charge into calculations.

RAZEYNA has testing ground as a possible excuse for her recent Thirsk run and is taken to bounce back in first-time blinkers. There could be more to come from last-time-out C&D scorer Adela of Champagne so she's second choice. Rajindri is a low-mileage sort who wasn't seen to best effect on her Glorious Goodwood handicap debut and she completes the shortlist.

The penny seems to have dropped with ADELA OF CHAMPAGNE (nap), who is bred to be decent and it was never in doubt over C&D last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +8%) Baltimore Boy	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Baltimore Boy 11/1, Ran poorly when tenth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Interesting from this sort of mark if back to best but others look more solid at present. Done himself justice just once this year and fitting of a visor needs to spark.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +73%) First View	3 3/1(+73%)	(1) First View 3/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 32 days ago. Yet to fire this season, so others are preferred. Career has been a bit stop-start and he's struggling to recapture anything like best form.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 -56%) Florida	7 7/1(-56%)	(10) Florida 7/1, Promising individual. 3/1, pulled too hard when sixth of 9 on handicap debut at Haydock (8f, good). Off 102 days/gelded. Tongue strap on 1st time. Previous win here has worked out well, so he's worth another chance. Pick of form reads very well and gelding operation could have straightened him out.
4	6 4th (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Two Tempting	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Two Tempting 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 3/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Still progressing gradually and he's one for the shortlist. Arrives in peak form and good spell ought to continue with these conditions ideal.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 +0%) Ernie's Valentine	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Ernie's Valentine 14/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Shaped as if back in form when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 8/1) 7 days ago, not clear run. One to keep an eye on from a lenient-looking mark. Not sure to build on course run last week emerging from stall 13 over a furlong further.
6th	12 6th (12) (28/1 -133%) Super Den	28 28/1(-133%)	(12) Super Den 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 9/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 21 days ago, running on late. Respected. Better than bare result the last twice but has some unexposed types to contend with here.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +25%) Spinaround	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Spinaround 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 68 days ago. Chance if rediscovering previous AW form, though recent efforts have been uninspiring. Standout run for current yard came over C&D; is hard to fancy on what we've seen of late.
8th	13 8th (13) (9/1 +36%) Venetian	9 9/1(+36%)	(13) Venetian 9/1, Good second at Haydock in June but hasn't been in the same form either outing since, failing to see out the longer trip when last of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (10f, good) 45 days ago. Others preferred. Appealing profile until wheels came off the last twice.
9th	4 9th (4) (25/1 -213%) Starshiba	25 25/1(-213%)	(4) Starshiba 25/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. 16/1, won 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 25 days ago. Should continue to give a good account. AW win number six was achieved by a narrow margin at Newcastle last month; up 3lb.
10th	9 10th (9) (9/1 +25%) Million Thanks	9 9/1(+25%)	(9) Million Thanks 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, rare poor effort when last of 12 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good) 40 days ago. Largely consistent sort isn't ruled out of bouncing back with blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back but two good runs from two over C&D and could well do so.
11th	3 11th (3) (80/1 -100%) Baileysgutfeeling	80 80/1(-100%)	(3) Baileysgutfeeling 80/1, Course winner. Latest win at Leicester in June. 40/1, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others preferred. Two backward steps for new yard and he's opposable, particularly over this far.
12th	8 12th (8) (6/1 -50%) Owl Island	6 6/1(-50%)	(8) Owl Island 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Resumed progress when fourth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 45 days ago, faring best of those held up. Sound frame claims. AW form is hard to knock; ought to stay 1m and is a 3yo to note.

LTO Selection:

20:22 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

This can go the way of TWO TEMPTING, whose two career wins have come over C&D including on his penultimate start last month. The four-year-old has been in fine form of late and he gets the vote ahead of the likes of handicap debutant Endless Power and Owl Island, who could easily improve for the rise in distance. Florida and Starshiba are other key players.

FLORIDA created a good impression when winning here in December and proved too keen stepping into handicaps for the first time at Haydock. His mark remains fair if able to build on his previous promise now gelded, so he's given another chance. Endless Power overcame unfavourable circumstances when winning at Chelmsford and can pose the biggest threat on his handicap bow, whilst Two Tempting and Starshiba are others with leading claims.

In the hope that a gelding operation will have ironed out his flaws, FLORIDA is taken to add to his good novice win here.

LTO Selection:

20:52 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Slight preference is for DOVES OF PEACE, who had shown little before a career-best when runner-up at Lingfield on his handicap bow in March. Given a 145-day break since, the son of Camacho should be fresh and ready to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Just over two lengths separated Flying Panther (first) and Angel Of Antrim (third) when they met at Lingfield last month and both are likely to be thereabouts again. Others to note include Calleveryoneuknow, Daisy Roots and Scramble.

DOVES OF PEACE rather stands out as an unexposed sort in this line-up and is taken to make light of a 5-month break for the Michael Bell team. Daisy Roots arrives on the back of a win and placed effort in classified events in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of Tom Ward's Flying Panther.

An honest pace can see CALLEVERYONEUKNOW settle better than at Windsor last time and come home in front.

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.
